Naruto: Starting with the Ten Kage Techniques, Sukuna Jinchuriki

Chapter 76: Infiltrating Rain Village, True and False Demigods

Although Nawaki and Minato have signed the summoning scrolls of the three holy lands, they still need time to practice.

It just so happens that today is also the day when Fukuko and Tsunade secretly infiltrate Amegakure to steal information on the salamander antidote.

So Nawaki and Minato, who had just arrived, had to separate from the two again.

Rope Tree was very reluctant to part with it, but he knew what was important and what was urgent.

They knew this kind of mission was not something they could handle.

As the two watched them go, Fukuyo and Tsunade's figures slowly disappeared into the Konoha camp.

They began to secretly infiltrate the town of the Rain Kingdom, following the route previously explored by the reconnaissance team.

Meanwhile, with the help of Fu Heiyao's malicious perception, he steadily avoided those dangerous Rain Shadow sentries.

Evening

On the edge of Amegakure, in a safe house set up by Konoha, Tsunade and Fushiko sat in front of a fireplace to warm themselves.

"Maliciousness perception is really useful." Tsunade couldn't help but sigh after the close call.

Previously, Konoha's attempts to infiltrate Amegakure were fraught with peril, often resulting in near-death experiences.

While there are reasons for the groundwork laid by predecessors, Fukuko's ability to sense malice is no less impressive than his grandmother's Kagura Mind's Eye.

"Kid, what are you planning to do next?" Tsunade asked, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Fukuyo's slightly childish face.

Although Tsunade is older and has much more battlefield experience than Fushiko, Fushiko possesses intelligence perception and shadow-disappearing abilities that Tsunade lacks.

Therefore, the seemingly ordinary accessory, Obsidian Black, actually holds a certain degree of dominance.

This left Tsunade feeling somewhat lost, unsure whether to feel relieved or disappointed.

The child who was so small before has grown up in the blink of an eye to the point where he can stand on his own and even stand in front of her.

"As originally planned, I will first use malicious perception to mark the approximate location of the workshop, and then you will send out slugs to confirm the information."

That's the downside of Rain Concealment; heavy rain masks many scents, leaving even Obsidian's Jade Dog somewhat overwhelmed.

Originally, Fukuyo had planned to gather information on his own and then bring Tsunade along to confirm it.

However, Tsunade suggested that the slugs could perform detailed information classification.

After all, slugs are mollusks, which are suited to dark and damp environments.

Then, to Tsunade's astonishment, Fukuyo vanished into the shadows as if diving underwater.

"What an impressive kid," Tsunade remarked, shaking her head with a smile.

The intelligence gathering process takes a considerable amount of time. Even though Fukuyo had the initial intelligence gathered by the original reconnaissance team, Hanzo had set up a lot of smokescreens to confuse them because he had learned his lesson before.

Fu Heiyao still needs to concentrate his mind highly and use his Malicious Senses and Shadow Travel to distinguish the truth from falsehood of this information.

However, with the combined power of the two abilities, Fu Heiyao managed to mark all the possible pharmaceutical workshops after some effort.

Then follow the expanding shadow back to the safe house.

After handing the map to Tsunade, Obsidian Fubuki quickly activated the Reversal Technique to heal his brain, which was about to burn out.

Upon receiving the information, Tsunade almost instantly switched to a serious expression, immediately biting her finger to summon a slug.

The next moment, a blue and white slug, as tall as two people, appeared in front of the two amidst the white mist.

"Lady Tsunade, is there anything I can do to help you?" the slug's soft, sweet voice rang out.

"Lady Slug, I need you to help me identify which of Amegakure's pharmaceutical workshops." Tsunade took out the map.

The giant slug understood, and sent one of its clones to climb onto Tsunade's shoulder to examine the map.

"I understand," the slug nodded.

He only glanced at Fu Heiyao unintentionally when he was about to split apart.

That one glance made the slug's two soft antennae stand up instantly, as if in response to stress.

"Lady Tsunade, who is this?"

Seeing that Fushiko was standing next to Tsunade and that the two seemed to have a good relationship, the slug tentatively asked a question.

"One of my younger brothers," Tsunade asked in surprise, "did he discover something?"

Unlike other sacred sites, the only life form in Shikkut Forest is the Living Slug Sage; all other slugs are merely its clones.

As an avatar of a sage who inherits part of the sage's perception, it's not surprising that he notices anything.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the chakra in his body is a bit special." Slug shook his head.

However, the way he looked at Fu Heiyao was still a little timid, as if he had seen some kind of invincible villain.

Fu Heiyao stared at the slug with a meaningful look.

"Interesting little thing, I really want to try cutting it in half." Inside the unchanging sealed gate, Sukuna, sensing something amiss, immediately looked at the slug through Fukuko's Sharingan.

"Su Nuo, you're quite the lively one." Fu Heiyao stared at Su Nuo, who was sitting amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and chuckled.

"Fu Heiyao, you've changed. Do you still have the same determination you had to drag me down with you?" Su Nuo sneered.

Sukuna can be considered the number one person to spy on and subdue Kuroko, even more patient than Kushina.

If Fu Heiya is not careful, Su Nuo will spy on him through his Sharingan.

All for the purpose of finding Fukuyo's weakness.

In the end, he found it as he wished, and Fu Heiyao became weak.

In Sukuna's eyes, Fukuyo was a coward who went against his conscience and pursued comfort, giving up absolute freedom for a little love that didn't matter.

"I have indeed changed. I used to be too conflicted. To protect myself from you, I didn't even dare to accept my true self, for fear of becoming weak."

"You weak brat, at least you have some self-awareness," Su Nuo said.

"Sukuna, you seem to have misunderstood something?"

Fu Heiyao changed the subject, his laughter filled with absolute confidence, "Later I discovered that your so-called curse power was nothing more than that."

Even without considering the Ten Kage techniques, I can control you with just these Sharingan eyes.

"How ridiculous. Without my power, you're nothing but an ant."

Fu Heiyao narrowed his gaze within the sealed gate, ignoring Su Nuo no longer.

There's no need to prove anything to Sukuna. The best answer will be when Sukuna opens the seal again and Sukuna's curse power prevents Sukuna from backfiring.

After locking Su Nuo in the small dark room, Fu Heiyao looked at the slug again.

He had no idea how much these ancient beings, who had lived for thousands of years, could see inside him.

However, Fu Heiyao has now passed the infancy stage where he needed to be wary of the world.

In addition to his strength, which has surpassed the limits of ordinary ninjas and reached the level of Kage, he also has a box of bliss within him that stores Sukunajutsu power as a backup hidden energy source.

Logically speaking, things that have entered the Chest of Elysium should not be expelled.

However, once inside Obsidian's body, the Box of Elysium was no longer in control.

This is why the Box of Elysium resisted so much in the first place.

Beneath the omnipotent sealing gate, the Box of Bliss has become a battery and relay for Obsidian Fu to draw upon the power of the Sukuna Curse.

With this immense power of curses and the power of demonic energy, he is now confident that he can defeat anyone in the ninja world.

But the slug was ultimately Tsunade's summoning ability and a stepping stone for Kushina to access Sage Mode, and Fubuki Kouyou had no intention of offending it without reason.

"You guys chat first, I'm going to rest."

Sensing the slug's slight worry and fear, Fu Heiyao went to rest in another room.

"Lady Tsunade, your junior seems a bit fierce," the slug said weakly.

"What a cute kid," Tsunade said dismissively.

"You probably think he's fierce because of his Sharingan."

The slug hesitated, as if to speak, but in its perception, Fu Heiyao seemed more like a demon than a human.

After all, the Sharingan is only strong in Yin Release, but Fukuko is not strong in Yin Release at all; he has a little bit of Yang Release mixed into Yin Release.

When the slug fairy first saw it, he thought he had seen a ghost.

Moreover, this Yin energy is mixed with negative emotions that no one but demons can absorb.

Is this even human?

The giant slug feels increasingly confused about the ninja world lately.

"Alright, Slug-sama, I'll leave the intelligence matter to you."

Seeing the slug's hesitant manner, Tsunade was somewhat curious, but more so worried about Fukuyo.

When that brat returned, he immediately used that reversal technique to heal him; I'm afraid the so-called Shadow Escape has quite a few side effects.

"Okay." The giant slug nodded, forcing itself not to think about it, and then split into hundreds and thousands of smaller slugs, each as thick as an arm.

The little slugs scattered along the safe house toward the locations marked on the map, some even burrowing into the well-developed drainage system of Yuyin.

And on the other side,

During the time that Tsunade and Fushiko were lying in wait, Hanzo suddenly launched a massive attack on Konoha.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya immediately summoned Manda and Gamabunta to join the battle.

However, Konoha remained pessimistic because the poisonous mist from the salamanders was simply too powerful.

Every time Hanzo led Amegakure to attack Konoha, he would suppress Konoha's lines.

Moreover, Lady Tsunade is unable to participate in the battle due to her research on antidotes.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were extremely heavy-hearted and prepared to retreat.

However, as the fight progressed, Orochimaru and Jiraiya found themselves unusually relaxed, even managing to hold their own against Amegakure during the gaps in the salamanders' poison mist.

The two exchanged a glance, and simultaneously sensed something was amiss in each other's eyes.

They then launched an even more desperate attack on the Amegakure forces led by Hanzo.

Half an hour later, when the two of them defeated the salamander and captured "Hanzo" amidst the cheers of Konoha, they showed no joy whatsoever; instead, their faces turned ashen.

This Hanzo is not the real Hanzo.

If that's the case, it's really hard to guess where Hanzo is.

"Hanzo, you cunning old fox, did you already guess this move?!" Jiraiya's eyes were bloodshot.

............

"It seems we're not the only ones who infiltrated Amegakure. Excluding Sunagakure, and the unrelated Kumogakure and Kirigakure, only Iwagakure has this motive." Fukuko tapped the table.

Just now, he sensed a large amount of high-intensity chakra infiltrating Amegakure.

"It seems Iwagakure also wants to get involved in this war. We need to speed things up; we can't let Iwagakure disrupt our plans!"

Tsunade looked at the map drawn on the table based on the slug's information and said in a serious tone.
