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

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki are probably more attractive to them!

Killing Shigure only eliminates one person who might threaten the village, but capturing Naruto not only eliminates someone who poses a great threat to the village, but also allows them to obtain the power of the Nine-Tails.

"...Let's put this matter aside for now! I won't be sending you out of the Land of Fire on missions anytime soon!"

"The Chunin Exams are about to begin. This year's Chunin Exams may be different. I already know about Shigure's power, and I hope you can make Naruto and Sasuke as strong as possible!"

Kakashi nodded. "I will do my best to teach you!"

The Third Hokage only smiled after Kakashi left.

"Ice Release is effective against it!"

"He's already developed matching ninjutsu; what a prodigy!"

Chapter 119 Thunderclouds Descend - Cloud Release Ninjutsu

"Since it's a nighttime operation, let's do something different tonight!"

Shigure doesn't know where Root's base is, but it should be underground in Konoha. Moreover, even Pain's Shinra Tensei didn't destroy Root's base.

It's easy to imagine how deeply the Root organization is hidden.

You must find the entrance and exit point to enter the root tissue.

But in a place as vast as Konoha, finding the entrance to the Root organization's base is no easy task.

but!

It would be much easier if we relied on ninjutsu.

Shi Yu glanced at her passive skill bar.

In the basic training skill page, there are three chakra refinement books, one genjutsu, one taijutsu, and the remaining two are ice release ~ frozen time.

On the combat skills page, there are two Breathing Techniques, two Ice Release Techniques, two Cloud Release Techniques, and one Chakra Refinement Technique.

However, neither of these two situations is quite suitable right now.

This is a stealthy operation, so the skill page configuration needs to be slightly changed.

Replace passive skill slots 1-2 with Transparent Escape. Transparent Escape has no cost, since Shigure needs to maintain the Transparent Escape state at all times, releasing it with all her might every moment to make herself as invisible as possible.

Replace passive skill slots 3 and 4 with Cloud Escape; Cloud Escape: Rain will be very useful tonight.

Replace all passive skill slots 5-6-7 with Chakra Refining Technique 587 to maximize chakra recovery. Once discovered, except for Shigure's Release and Ice Release techniques, all other ninjutsu will become Shigure's means of fighting the enemy.

Therefore, chakra restoration is very necessary.

This is considered page 2 of the combat skills page!

Shigure changed the skill numbers in the skill bar.

Night quietly descended at this time.

[Great Sage: Current natural energy intrusion is 3.4%]

This speed has already increased significantly, and it will increase noticeably after returning to Konoha.

At 8 p.m., Shi Yu felt that it was about time. He had two goals for tonight. The primary task was to find the entrance to the Root organization's base.

Secondly, if it cannot be found, then a way to steal the Book of Seals should be considered. Shigure dared not waste any time.

Even at the risk of being discovered by the Third Generation, they must find a way to steal the Book of Seals.

'Fortunately, the many Cloud Release ninjutsu techniques that the Great Sage calculated these past few days will likely come in handy tonight!'

Shi Yu looked up at the sky.

Raising one's hand to form a mudra is a rare skill, requiring more than a dozen mudras.

The hand seals are complete.

Shi Yu suddenly opened her eyes.

The chakra within his body poured out wildly as if a dam had burst, if it weren't for the two Cloud Release ninjutsu skills he was using at the same time.

It's likely that Shigure's chakra will be completely depleted in less than three seconds.

'Cloud Release: Thundercloud!'

Boom boom! ! !

crackle...

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky above Konoha, followed by streaks of lightning flashing from within them.

Many Konoha ninja looked up at the sky. "Thunder? I hope it doesn't rain! It's my shift today!"

"That's strange, it didn't look like it was going to rain during the day!"

"Yeah! Why did it suddenly thunder? But I hope it won't rain!"

Shigure had already completed the second hand seal.

'Cloud Release: Rain Cloud!'

'Merge! Thundercloud!'

Wow wow wow!

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, though the rain was not acidic.

It was just normal rain, but then thunder and lightning struck, turning it into a torrential downpour.

In an instant, everyone in Konoha who was still outside went home.

The Third Hokage looked out from his office.

Although he didn't say anything, the third generation felt that something was wrong, but he still had a lot of things to do.

It was just a sudden downpour, nothing serious.

The only concern is that with this amount of rainfall, Konoha's drainage system will likely be under a huge burden!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Heavy rain began to fall.

Shi Yu looked at the raging wind and rain outside, and the effect was as good as she had imagined.

This technique will continue as long as Shigure remains, but the cost is that it will continuously absorb chakra from Shigure.

The amount of chakra consumed was unprecedented.

With his left hand forming a mudra, his right hand moved slightly across his face, as if changing expressions.

Cloud Release: Cloud Mask!

The mask, made of white smoke, looks like the mask from V for Vendetta.

The main effect of this technique is to prevent people from seeing through Shigure's true nature. At first, Shigure felt that this was an extremely useless ability, but now it seems to be quite useful.

Just in case, it would be terrible if the White Eyes saw it. With the Cloud Mask, even the White Eyes wouldn't be able to see through it.

Immediately afterward, he activated his Transcendent Escape technique, and Shigure's figure vanished instantly.

Even the breath disappeared completely.

Of course, Shigure also left a shadow clone at home.

As soon as the door opened, Yu's figure disappeared into the shadows.

Arriving at a corner of Konoha where the debris had piled up quite deep, Shigure crouched on a stone block. In his Transparent Release state, Shigure's figure was completely invisible.

With the cover of torrential rain and lightning, even if an ANBU ninja passed by Shigure, he would not be able to detect it.

'Cloud Escape~ Fish in the Clouds!'

Shiyu put her hand into the stream, and wisps of mist kept rising from her palm. The small fish formed by these mists disappeared in the blink of an eye.

These fish are light-bodied and can swim in the clouds, and of course, they can swim in the middle as well.

Their main function is to search and explore. Now that the rain is pouring down, these cloud fish can enter almost any place, even if it's just a tiny bit.

The rain was controlled to a tadpole-like size.

Its small size makes it difficult to attract attention, and even if it is discovered, it can simply dissipate into a cloud of mist.

They are the perfect tools for finding the entry point of the root tissue.

Shiyu released tens of thousands of cloud fish before slowly getting up and leaving.

On one hand, they need to rely on Yunyu to search, and on the other hand, Shigure can also actively seek out Root organization ninjas. Following them might lead them to the entrance to Root organization's base.

We must use a two-pronged approach to find the root organization base tonight as much as possible.

However, the dense white cloud fish, under the cover of night, dispersed to various parts of Konoha.

Shiyu closed her eyes. Each of these cloud fish could detect objects within a meter, and Shiyu released tens of thousands of them.

As they spread, a map of Konoha essentially formed in Shigure's mind, resembling a 3D model.

Time passed little by little.

Shi Yu suddenly opened her eyes!
