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

Finding an ordinary ninja is difficult, but finding a Jinchuriki is much easier.

After all, the chakra of a tailed beast is quite evident.

As Shigure ran, she kept looking in the direction of the Land of Lightning. At this distance, she could already vaguely see the mainland of the Land of Lightning.

If we continue forward, we will have entered the Land of Lightning.

Shigure changed direction and headed towards an island not far away.

"Let's get to the island first and find the Six-Tails Jinchuriki! I've got a plan!"

"I have a ninjutsu specifically for reconnaissance, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

As Shigure spoke, he asked the Great Sage.

'Could we improve upon the previous Cloud Release: Fish in the Clouds by adding chakra sensing capabilities?'

[Great Sage: Of course, the effects of the Yamanaka clan's ninjutsu, which the host possesses, can also be incorporated, allowing the host to inject their consciousness into any of the cloud fish clones at any time.]

Not bad! It seems that all the ninjutsu I analyzed during the Chunin Exams have finally come in handy.

'Let's calculate it then! How long will it take?'

[The Great Sage: Three Minutes]

When Shigure brought Shiro and Chojuro to a stop on the island, the Great Sage's calculations were almost finished.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new skill: Cloud Escape - Cloud Fish Heart Transmission Technique]

The ninjutsu Cloud Fish, which I used once before, now has added the ability to sense, detect, and share vision.

This is a major evolution in ninjutsu!

Not bad!

'It seems I'll have to find time later to have the Great Sage properly evolve all the ninjutsu!'

Chapter 184 The Smoke-Filled Cage and the Jinchūriki

"Lord Shigure, is your ninjutsu truly capable of finding a target over such a large area?"

Haku thought it was somewhat unlikely; even a ninja with sensory abilities couldn't sense such a large area.

Seeing Bai's suspicion, Shi Yu smiled and said, "You'll find out soon enough!"

Shi Yu raised her hand and began to form hand seals.

Cloud Escape!!

A large cloud of smoke, like cotton candy, spread out from Shigure's feet toward the sponge.

The clouds and mist expanded in a fan shape, quickly reaching a diameter of nearly 100 meters.

Bai was puzzled by the appearance of such a large area of ​​clouds and mist, having no idea what Shigure had released.

It looks so white, it doesn't look like ice at all!

Cloud Release: The Cloud Fish's Heart Transmission Technique!

Swish!

Suddenly, the clouds began to split apart, then coalesced into white carp that surged forward in the sea.

Within a hundred-meter radius, the cloud formations condensed into cloud fish the size of a palm!

Although it's impossible for someone of that size to go unnoticed, being seen in the sea wouldn't arouse any suspicion.

And if it dives deep enough, it will basically disappear from sight.

The range of perception increased significantly, and thousands of cloud fish scattered in a panic, creating a scene as if the entire sea had suddenly come to a boil.

Each cloud fish's sensing range has expanded to fifteen meters.

This sensing range basically covers the entire island once it's explored. Once the island has been fully explored, the cloud fish will leap directly onto it, just like carp leaping over the dragon gate.

These cloud fish are extremely fast, and their weight is similar to that of the clouds, so they can move at any distance.

It can even float over the island like a cloud to conduct sensing and exploration.

Once the cloud fish spread out to search, soon none of the surrounding islands could escape their detection.

No matter where the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is hiding, he will be found.

"Lord Shigure, what kind of ninjutsu was that you just used? It was such a peculiar ninjutsu!"

Bai asked.

Just think of it as some kind of secret technique!

Shigure didn't want to explain either, saying that if he said it was Cloud Release, he would have to explain what kind of escaping technique it was!

Chojuro looked at the now calm sea and asked, "Will those fish that just turned into be able to find their target?"

“These fish have sensory abilities. At a distance of fifteen meters, as soon as they sense the chakra of a Jinchuriki, they will immediately transmit the message to me.”

Shi Yu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry! This area will be completely searched in an hour at most."

Meanwhile, on other islands, white carp leaped out of the water and glided slowly through the air, maintaining a flight-like posture despite their slow speed.

We flew slowly over the island.

Meanwhile, Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, who was sitting on the cliff by the sea, leaping across the ocean, frowned as he watched a white carp drift by in front of him.

The other person stared at him for a long time, then slowly drifted past and fell into the sea, swimming away rapidly.

Yu Gao was taken aback. "What is that? A specialty fish of the Land of Lightning?"

"It can still glide in the air?"

This is so bizarre!

and many more!

No, that's not a real fish; it just looks like a carp.

If a ninja can't even guess that this is a ninjutsu, then he's really stupid.

But at this moment, Shigure had already opened her eyes.

"found it!"

Bai and Chojuro also immediately stood up.

Chojuro: "Where is it?"

Shigure pointed to the northwestern island where Utaka was located.

"It's there!"

"go!"

As he spoke, Shigure raised his hand and waved his somersault cloud, which appeared directly in front of him.

"What is this?" Chojuro looked at the clouds in front of Shigure with great curiosity.

"Let's go! They seem to have noticed us, so they're running over rather slowly now!"

When he saw Shigure jump onto the Somersault Cloud, Chojuro's eyes lit up.

This thing can actually jump up?

He immediately tried jumping onto the somersault cloud, and felt that it was soft and fluffy under his feet. This thing was simply amazing.

Bai followed, and the area of ​​the Flying Nimbus automatically expanded so that the three of them wouldn't be too crowded. With a burst of speed, they rushed straight towards the Six-Tails' location.

They were going so fast they almost fell off.

However, as a ninja, his reaction was quick. He used chakra to absorb the Flying Nimbus, thus preventing it from falling.

Both Shiro and Chojuro were pleasantly surprised when they came to their senses.

Bai: "Wow, that's amazing! It can even fly! This thing feels like a cloud!"

Chojuro: "Are we flying on clouds?"

Although Bai is a bit older, having had little childhood experience, he is finally showing his childlike side!

Shi Yu shook her head helplessly.

What's so great about being so happy about a single somersault?

"Alright, we're here!"

In just over ten seconds, they arrived at the island where the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was located.

Shigure immediately sensed the other party's chakra upon arriving here.

It really is a six-tailed fox.

They certainly know how to pick a location!

Choosing such a remote island, which is also very close to the Land of Lightning, means that if any problems arise, one can escape to the Land of Lightning immediately.

He's quite a clever guy.

But unfortunately, I met myself!
