I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Chapter 113 First Analysis and Calculation of the Enemy

'Thinking Acceleration Activated!'

[The Great Sage: Accelerated Thinking Has Been Activated]

As the skill was activated, Shigure's five senses were greatly enhanced.

They also noticed that Fuuka Nutō had an injury, which was likely caused by Guren and Jugo.

These two arrived in the Land of Snow and gave Feng Hua Nu Tao a sound beating.

Orochimaru isn't the kind of person who's bored; there must be something that attracts him.

Given Orochimaru's personality, what kind of thing could make him send people to steal it?

'Chakra armor?'

Shigure found the answer in an instant. If there was anything in the Land of Snow that could attract Orochimaru, it seemed to be only the chakra armor.

This seems to make sense, but the main reason why Orochimaru didn't participate in the original work is that he didn't know.

After all, the Land of Snow doesn't interact with the outside world and is a remote little country, so the people of the five great nations don't have time to pay attention to such a place.

So where did Orochimaru get this information from?

"As expected of the kid the adults have their eye on, he certainly has potential!"

"His ability to control ice and snow is indeed impressive. Hey! Crimson Lotus, this kid's ice release technique doesn't seem to be any worse than your crystal release technique!"

Jugo crossed his arms, looking like a judge.

Crimson Lotus slowly stepped forward. "Hmph! Among the many bloodline limits, he can only be considered average, but I have to admit that this kid uses this power very skillfully!"

The ability to use ice and snow to condense ice crystals to block one's own Crystal Escape technique is indeed quite impressive.

Listening to their conversation, Shi Yu frowned.

'It seems they're not just after the Wind and Flower Fury Chakra Armor!'

'They're after me!'

How did Orochimaru find out about me? Was it because I completed a mission and my reputation spread so quickly? Even a big shot like Orochimaru knows about me?

I'm afraid not!

So there's probably only one possibility for Orochimaru to know this: someone told him.

And there is clearly only one such person.

"Danzo!"

"I understand. Danzo informed Orochimaru of my situation, and Orochimaru sent people to deal with me. The chakra armor from the Land of Snow was just a side effect; the real target is me!"

"The ninjas of Konoha are yours, but this Kazahana Koyuki is someone I want. I hope you will keep your promise!"

The wind, flowers, and raging waves reminded us from behind.

Jugo gave a cold laugh. "Go and catch the person you want yourself!"

"We're only interested in this brat right now!"

As he spoke, Jugo stared at Shigure and slowly walked forward.

Kakashi saw Jugo preparing to attack and wanted to intervene, but Guren locked onto his aura from the side.

"These brats are nothing to fear, but you are a bit of a problem, Konoha's Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi!"

Guren seemed to be trying to block Kakashi.

This is not good.

"Naruto, Sasuke, run with these people! We must protect them!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke gritted his teeth. Kakashi told him and Naruto to run away with the men, but he didn't let Shigure run away. This meant that the two of them stayed behind to cover their retreat and buy them time.

"Damn it!" Sasuke cursed angrily, then pulled Naruto, who was still standing there dumbfounded, "Quick, didn't you hear what Kakashi said!"

"Let's protect these people and get them out first!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao kept his eyes fixed on Feng Hua Xiao Xue. When he saw Feng Hua Xiao Xue being led away, he immediately ordered the men behind him, "Chase after them! Kill all of them! I only want Feng Hua Xiao Xue!"

"Ice Escape!"

"Freeze moment!"

hum!

The sound of rain began, and a sudden, deadly chill swept through.

The sudden appearance of the ice crystals instantly froze all the hundred or so good men under Feng Hua Nu Tao's command.

Moment!

Freeze 100 people!

Even from a distance of tens of meters, it can freeze a person from a distance.

Jugo stared at Shigure with wide eyes, utterly astonished.

"What a powerful technique! Ice Release actually possesses this kind of power!"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Honglian, as if asking her if she was up to the task.

Honglian looked at Shiyu with a very solemn expression.

This technique has extremely demanding requirements regarding one's chakra reserves, control over escaping techniques, and overall chakra management.

My own Crystal Escape technique can't achieve that level of skill.

Shi Yu looked at the wind, flowers, and raging waves that had been frozen together.

boom!

As expected, the sudden burst of wind and waves easily broke the ice, after all, this old man was wearing the best chakra armor.

"Damn Konoha brats, they actually... wiped out all my men!"

Shi Yu was about to speak.

"What powerful escape techniques! I'm going to have a good time this time!"

Suddenly, a strange chakra surge erupted, and black patterns appeared on Jugo's arm.

Shi Yu immediately became extremely alert.

'A cursed seal transformation, or perhaps a sage transformation!'

Although this power cannot be called a celestial technique, there is no doubt that the power of the cursed seal is also to absorb natural energy, which is... a technique that Shigure has been dreaming of obtaining.

'Analyze it! Analyze it for me now, analyze it!'

Shigure, who was in a state of excitement, was now very worried that the Great Sage would be unable to analyze it.

It's one thing if it's just a normal cursed seal transformation, but this is Jugo's cursed seal transformation. He has a special constitution, which is a kind of mutated constitution, belonging to the bloodline limit type.

I wonder if the great sage can analyze this.

[Great Sage: Should we conduct a comprehensive analysis and calculation of this target?]

Yes, yes!

He silently recited this in his mind, but suddenly Shigure paused, wondering what it meant.

Isn't conducting a comprehensive analysis and calculation of the target the same as analyzing and calculating the opponent's tactics?

[Great Sage: Previous tasks are temporarily suspended; focus all efforts on analyzing and calculating the target (Jugo)]

By the way, the analysis isn't just for ninjutsu; it can also directly analyze people or objects!

Shi Yu smiled. This was something she had never tried before—directly analyzing the enemy!

However, such analytical calculations should be more comprehensive than simply analyzing a particular technique!

At that moment, Fuuka Noutō swept past them at high speed. Shigure watched as Fuuka Noutō bypassed him and Kakashi, intending to give chase, and prepared to stop him.

But in an instant, his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

The next second, Jugo charged straight at him.

"Boy, let me see just how strong you really are!"

Shigure turned to look at Shigego.

Eyes narrowed slightly, Ice Release: Frozen Moment!

freeze!

In an instant, the frost covering Jugo appeared, but it shattered and scattered the moment it appeared.

A powerful burst of chakra erupted from Jugo's body.

It won't freeze!
