Chapter 153: Lightning Chakra Mode Obtained
Chapter 153: Lightning Chakra Mode Obtained (th Update)
"Minato, please go and check the situation of the other outposts."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said.
She was very confused by the behavior of the Hidden Cloud Village today. Just in case, she had to be more cautious.
"Yes."
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly, and his body suddenly disappeared.
"Hanekawa, help."
Tsunade turned and walked into the sentry post.
"Yes."
Hanekawa began to treat the injured Konohagakure ninjas.
Two hours later, Minato Namikaze reappeared.
"How's it going?"
Tsunade saw him and took the initiative to ask.
"Everything is fine."
Namikaze Minato said with some confusion, "It was as if the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village had received an order and all retreated to the camp."
"Order?"
Tsunade asked thoughtfully, "Is it just a pure act of revenge?"
She thought of the previous battle with Ai, when he mentioned the disastrous defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Rain Country.
"Based on my understanding of Ai, it is indeed possible."
Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment and said, "He has a rather unscrupulous personality."
"No matter what, send more people to keep an eye on their movements."
Tsunade couldn't figure it out so she stopped thinking about it.
"Yes."
Namikaze Minato nodded and replied.
"Come on, let's go back to the camp."
Tsunade said as she stood up.
The wounded at the outpost had all been treated, and the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village had temporarily retreated, so there was no need to stay any longer.
After returning to the camp, Hanekawa made poison as usual, and then went to the nearby river to practice water jutsu.
He closed his eyes, and when he realized that there was no one nearby, he created a shadow clone.
Hanekawa watched the shadow clone leave.
The most important reason why he did not go there in person, apart from the reason he told Samui, was to avoid being caught by the Hidden Cloud Village.
Even if the relationship breaks up, it's just the loss of a shadow clone, no big deal.
In any case, he would not return to the Hidden Cloud Village until he had absolute strength.
Hanekawa withdrew his gaze and continued practicing water jutsu.
Half an hour later, a few lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[B-level talent entry: Water escape special jonin. ]
[Trigger condition: The proficiency of nine water escape ninjutsu terms reaches mastery. ]
[Effect: The power of all water-style ninjutsu increases by 100%.]
[Note: Learning and mastering more water-style ninjutsu can lead to advancement to A-level water-style jonin.]
Hanekawa let out a breath.
Although the effects are similar to the previous 'Lightning Release Special Jonin', everyone knows about the 100% water release power bonus.
He can use water escape easily even in a waterless environment.
"The next step is earth escape."
Hanekawa formed seals with his hands and began to practice earth escape.
……
After Ai, Killer Bee and others returned to the Hidden Cloud Village camp, they immediately held a meeting.
But unlike in the past, it was Mabui who presided over the meeting today.
She arrived last night and brought the news that the Third Raikage had been poisoned.
The actions of Ai, Kirabi and others today were also planned by her.
"Where's Hanekawa?"
Mabui glanced at them and asked, "Didn't he come back with you?"
"Is such that."
Samui repeated Hanekawa's words.
"Is he planning to betray the Hidden Cloud Village?"
Ai raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a betrayal."
Mabui groaned and said, "It's just that his mind has changed."
"What do you mean?"
Ai asked in confusion.
"Simply put, Hanekawa wants to change the relationship from superior to subordinate to one of equal transactions."
Mabui analyzed.
"How dare he?"
Ai asked somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Has he forgotten that he is a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village?"
"To be fair, he is indeed qualified now."
Ma Buyi said calmly, "A genius like him will be welcomed everywhere."
"What about the restrictions on him?"
Ai asked, frowning.
"Only those who are weak will care about restrictions."
Mabui shook his head and said.
"Will he come?"
Samui was silent for a few seconds and then asked.
For some reason, she didn't want Hanekawa to completely break away from the Hidden Cloud Village.
"will come."
Mabui said affirmatively, "Since he asked you if he could make a condition, then the Hidden Cloud Village has what he wants."
"Should we give it to him?"
Samui asked again.
"Now we are asking for help."
Mabui said calmly, "The most urgent task is to detoxify Lord Raikage."
"I'll settle this account with him later!"
Ai said with a snort.
What he hates most is being threatened.
"Samui, go meet him outside the camp."
Ma Buyi thought for a moment and said, "The fewer people know his identity, the better."
"Yes."
Samui turned and left the main tent.
"Hekawa is very useful to our Hidden Cloud Village. There is no need to make things so desperate."
Mabui looked at Ai and said, "He previously provided us with information about the disappearance of the Third Kazekage."
"Maybe he was the one who leaked the Rain Country secrets!"
Ai said angrily, "This information caused us in the Hidden Cloud Village to suffer heavy losses!"
"Not Hanekawa."
Mabui explained, "He is far away in Konoha Village, so he can't possibly know our marching route."
"..."
Ai clenched his fists and said, "Konoha Village will have to pay the price for this!"
"but not now."
Mabui said softly, "Lord Raikage has ordered you to return to the Hidden Cloud Village with me."
"So what should we do with this camp?"
Ai couldn't help but ask, "After I leave, no one can stop Tsunade and Namikaze Minato."
"Withdraw from the Frost Kingdom temporarily."
Mabui said after a moment's thought.
"Isn't this a sign of weakness?"
Ai refused without even thinking, "I don't agree!"
"Lord Raikage is now poisoned and seriously injured, and the Sand Village has declared war on us. Now we need you to go back and take charge of the situation."
Ma Buyi said patiently.
"..."
Ai hesitated to speak, and finally had to agree.
Half an hour later, the shadow clone, or Hanekawa, arrived near the camp of the Hidden Cloud Village.
He immediately saw Samui sitting on a tree not far away.
Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa came directly in front of her.
Samui's face showed alertness, but after seeing him, he relaxed again.
Hanekawa changed into a windbreaker jacket with a hood, making it difficult to tell whether it was a shadow clone or her real self.
"follow me."
Samui jumped down and stood on the ground.
Hanekawa followed her and successfully entered the main tent.
He immediately noticed that the Fourth Raikage's eyes were not friendly.
Hanekawa looked at the dark-skinned girl next to him and roughly guessed the reason.
Most likely, his thoughts were not hidden from Ma Buyi.
"Hanekawa, I'm Mabui, nice to meet you."
Mabui said with a smile on his face.
Hanekawa looked at him curiously.
Whether in his previous life or this life, this was the first time he saw this dark skin in reality.
I heard that black skin has very good skin. I wonder if I will have the chance to touch it.
"Me too."
Hanekawa said calmly.
No matter how the Hidden Cloud Village treats him, he is invincible.
"Lord Raikage is currently in the Hidden Cloud Village, so we'd like to trouble you to go back with us."
Mabui looked at him deeply and said.
"No trouble."
Hanekawa smiled and said nonchalantly, "This is what I should do."
"Let's go then."
Ma Buyi said decisively.
Hanekawa is surprised to see them dismantle the camp.
Is this a temporary truce?
He didn't ask any more questions and followed them out of the Frost Kingdom.
……
Konoha Village Camp.
"Lady Tsunade, I just checked. Ai, Killer Bee and the others have all retreated to the Land of Lightning."
Minato Namikaze walked into the main tent and spoke straight to the point.
"Don't fight?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and guessed, "It seems that the Hidden Cloud Village does not want to fight on two fronts." "That should be the case."
Namikaze Minato nodded and asked, "What should we do?"
"This is a secret report from the old man."
Tsunade smiled faintly, took out a note and said.
Minato Namikaze walked forward, took it curiously, took a glance, and immediately showed a surprised expression.
There was only one sentence on the note: Ye Cangru from the Sand Village had already set out and would arrive at Konoha Village soon.
"The Sand Village wants to form an alliance with us?"
Namikaze Minato handed the note back to Tsunade and asked.
"It's not clear yet."
Tsunade shook her head and said, "Either form an alliance or borrow the passage."
There are only four roads from Kumogakure Village to Sand Village, and vice versa.
The fastest way is undoubtedly through the Fire Nation.
"I will return to Konoha Village tomorrow. You will be in charge of this place."
Tsunade continued.
"Ok."
Minato Namikaze was not surprised.
Once the Hidden Cloud Village retreated, the pressure on Konoha Village suddenly dropped.
The Frost Country doesn't need to leave so many ninjas to guard it, just restore the number to the previous one.
After all, ninjas consume a lot of energy, so you should save as much as possible.
Tsunade walked out of the main tent, and not far away, Hanekawa, Hatake Kakashi and others were chatting.
The Hidden Cloud Village has already evacuated, so they no longer have any missions.
"Hanekawa."
Tsunade walked forward and informed, "Get ready and follow me back to Konoha Village tomorrow."
"Great!"
Yuhi Kurenai jumped up happily.
She hadn't been back to the Leaf Village for a month, and she couldn't wait any longer.
Although Nohara Lin didn't say anything, the smile on her face showed her mood.
"Congratulations."
Hatake Kakashi spoke up.
"Thank you."
Hanekawa said with a smile on his face.
Did something happen in the Hidden Cloud Village?
However, his shadow clone did not return, which means he is in a safe environment.
"So when will you be back?"
The only one who was unhappy was Uchiha Obito.
“It depends on the village’s arrangements.”
Nohara Lin smiled and said, "Maybe we'll meet soon."
"Too!"
Uchiha Obito perked up and said, "Then we'll do the mission together!"
Time passes as we rush on the road.
Two days later, the shadow clone of Hanekawa finally arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village.
Unlike Konoha Village, the Hidden Cloud Village is located on a towering mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and thunder can be faintly heard.
"stop!"
A strong wind blew.
Then a humanoid cat paw appeared in front of Hanekawa.
The right hand was slender and white, but sharp and long claws emerged from the fingers.
Its owner is a tall girl with beige braids.
"Yukito!"
Ma Buyi shouted quickly, "Don't do it!"
"Aren't you a famous genius? Why don't you hide?"
The two wooden men asked with great dissatisfaction.
"Can't you see? I'm just a shadow clone, little wildcat."
A smile appeared on Hanekawa's face.
"Who are you calling little wildcat?"
The two wooden men widened their eyes and asked angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"You do not dare."
Hanekawa shook his head.
"asshole!"
The two of them subconsciously grabbed by the wooden man, but finally stopped.
She really didn't dare.
If Hanekawa is killed, the Third Raikage will also be buried with him.
Samui couldn't help but blink.
In her impression, Hanekawa has a gentle personality and would not be so aggressive.
"Yumujin."
Mabui walked up, pulled her over, and said, "The Raikage-sama is still waiting for us."
She knew that the two Yubokuto were arrogant and conceited, so she had to bring up the Third Raikage.
"..."
The two Yukito glared at Hanekawa and said disdainfully, "What genius? Nothing more than that!"
"Little wildcat, if you want to fight, I can satisfy you."
Hanekawa said calmly, "Wait until I finish the treatment."
"very good!"
The two Yukito's eyes lit up and he said, "You are a shadow clone, so I won't take advantage of you. I will only use half of my chakra to fight you!"
"..."
Samui hesitated to speak.
Using only half of the chakra means that the two Yugitos will not use the power of the tailed beasts.
Although it was a bit offensive, she felt that Hanekawa would win.
"Let's go."
Hanekawa pulled his hood up and continued forward.
Under Mabui's guidance, he met the Third Raikage lying on the hospital bed.
Hanekawa walked up and untied the bandage on his abdomen.
A knife mark appeared before his eyes.
This should be the wound caused by the knife on the puppet.
Unlike ordinary knife marks, this one was a strange black color and emitted a foul odor.
Hanekawa stretched out his hand and wrapped a drop of blood with his chakra.
He sensed it slightly and thought to himself that it was indeed Chiyo's poison.
But it is an upgraded version of the poison used in the Second Shinobi World War.
No wonder the medical ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't do anything about it.
Hanekawa could confidently say that apart from Tsunade, he was the only one who could solve it.
"Can you cure it?"
Ai asked impatiently.
"can."
Hanekawa nodded and said, "You guys go out, I need to perform surgery."
"We stay."
Ai frowned slightly and said.
"We have to get out."
Hanekawa glanced at him and said.
"you!"
Dissatisfaction immediately appeared on Ai's face.
"Master Ai."
Mabui shook his head at him and said, "Let's go out."
"..."
Ai turned and left.
"Lord Ai is eager to save his father, I hope you don't mind."
Mabui bowed slightly and left the room.
Two hours later, the door was opened.
"Lord Raikage is fine now."
Hanekawa met everyone's gazes and spoke calmly.
"Come in."
The weak voice of the Third Raikage sounded.
"Lord Raikage."
Samui, Mabui, and the two Yumujin shouted in unison.
"Father."
Ai walked over and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure he was okay.
"Hanekawa did a good job this time."
After a round of greetings, the Third Raikage looked at Hanekawa and asked, "What reward do you want?"
"Lightning Chakra Mode."
Hanekawa said unceremoniously.
"This is impossible!"
Ai refused and said, "This is a secret technique that can only be practiced by the Raikage lineage!"
"Hekawa, the lightning chakra mode is quite special. You can change to another one."
Ma Buyi advised.
"There is still some poison in Lord Raikage's body. He needs to take medicine for two more days."
Hanekawa asked calmly, "How about I just look at the training method of the Lightning Chakra Mode for two days?"
He already knew that the Hidden Cloud Village didn't want to give it, so he took a very tough stance.
"Be bold!"
The two wooden men glared at him and asked, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Ai Yi looked at him with murderous intent.
Samui pursed his lips, a look of hesitation on his face.
"Lord Raikage is clear about rewards and punishments. What do you think?"
Hanekawa smiled and asked.
"I now regret letting you go to Konoha Village more and more."
The Third Raikage stared at him, sighed, and spoke.
"I did not betray the Hidden Cloud Village."
Hanekawa said slowly, "I just hope to get the reward I deserve."
"I promise you."
The Third Raikage spoke after a moment of silence.
