Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

That makes sense. With his meager abilities, he managed to reach the status of an Onmyoji. If he could leverage my strength, he would naturally gain even more from the Daimyo.

He was not averse to the ideas of the Onmyoji.

In this unfamiliar world, he needs to rely on local resources to make things easier; it's simply a matter of each getting what they need.

"What's your name?" Shiranui Sho asked.

"Just call me Inoue, sir."

The Onmyoji wore a slightly obsequious smile.

He reached out and took off his black hat, revealing long, brownish-yellow hair that was damp with sweat, clinging to his scalp, and looked somewhat greasy and disheveled.

He knew that since the other party had taken the initiative to ask for his name, he had essentially secured a powerful patron.

"Inoue, take care of things here first, and I'll come back to see you in a while."

Shiranui Sou reached out and patted the onmyoji who called himself "Inoue" on the shoulder, and a Flying Thunder God technique was instantly formed.

"Yes!"

Inoue agreed without hesitation.

next second.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the boy who had just been standing in front of him vanished from his sight in an instant.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Inoue's face lit up with ecstasy.

"This...this is no different from divine intervention!?"

After pacing back and forth for a while, Inoue noticed the corpse of the town's owner on the wall.

The gruesome sight of his death made his face turn pale.

He picked up the generous gift that had been given to him by the deceased, which was placed aside, and quickly walked out of the hall, muttering to himself.

"I remember this Karakura Town resident's surname... Arisawa?"

"I need to see which of his sons is suitable to inherit the position of the title lord, and try to get things done before the master comes to me again!"

……

The interior was dark and gloomy.

A single lamp illuminates only a small area in front of the desk, while the rest of the space is shrouded in shadow.

A man wearing a bird-beak mask and dark-clothes knelt on one knee.

He kept his head down and remained silent, his gaze fixed on the ground without wavering.

After a long while, a gloomy male voice finally came from behind the desk.

"Is your injury healed?"

The voice was very soft, as if talking about something trivial.

However, the moment the words left his mouth, the back of the bird-beak mask was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Sir, I..."

"Shut up, you piece of trash!"

A stern rebuke interrupted the Dark Division's attempt to explain.

The man who had been looking down at the documents on his desk slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

"What are you going to say? You lost to a kid who just became a Jonin and then spent half a month in the hospital?"

"..."

The ANBU ninja had no more confidence to defend himself, and a deep sense of shame and humiliation flashed across his face beneath the mask.

“I spent years completely replacing your identity with someone else, and you just let all my hard work go to waste.”

The man's scrutinizing gaze cut like a knife as he looked at the members of the Dark Guard. He said in a deep voice, "Now, go back to where you belong. Don't arouse suspicion."

"Yes!"

The operative nodded deeply, bowed respectfully, and quickly got up and left.

The dimly lit room fell silent again for a moment.

The man's gaze swept across the table, and at the very top center of the document was the name of a boy named "Shiranui Sou".

Below that are the ninja number, records of graduating from the ninja academy, and resumes of each stage of advancement to chunin and even jonin.

The latest entry is about the unprecedented Dark Bloodline Limit.

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, a complex mix of greed and ruthlessness swirling within them.

Chapter 49 The Art of Spiritualization?

Under the front porch.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the hair of the woman and the boy.

"Spiritualization Technique?"

Tsunade downed the glass of chilled fruit wine in one gulp.

The pleasant sensation caused her snow-white toes, painted with red nail polish, to curl slightly.

Hearing the name of the ninjutsu spoken by the boy beside her, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"You want to learn this ninjutsu?"

"Yes, I want to know about this technique."

Shiranui Sou asked earnestly.

In Karakura Town, the human world of the Shinigami world, he faces the problem that his body can only remain in the human world, while his soul cannot enter the Soul Society.

The first thing that came to his mind was the art of spiritification.

The signature forbidden technique of Konoha's elite Jonin, Dan Kato, can separate spiritual energy from physical energy and materialize spiritual energy into a "spirit body".

Teleportation, possessing and manipulating other people's bodies, and even transferring one's chakra to others...

"I do know a little about this technique..."

Tsunade said thoughtfully, "The last user of the Spirit Transformation Technique in Konoha was Dan Kato."

"He is a ninja with the qualities of a Hokage, and one of the few who shares my ideals."

"To be honest, I think he is more suitable to be the next Hokage than any of the three legendary Sannin."

"Unfortunately, it is precisely because of this awareness that..."

She shook her head, no longer dwelling on the past, and changed the subject.

"The Spirit Transformation Technique is a secret ninjutsu of the Kato family, but because it is extremely difficult to master, even few people in the Kato family can learn it."

"Before Kato Dan, no one had been able to learn it for decades, so when he became famous for his Spirit Transformation Technique, many people thought it was his original ninjutsu."

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sho's heart sank, and he said, "So, this ninjutsu was also lost after Kato Jonin's sacrifice?"

In this way, the only way he could think of to access the soul, or rather, the realm of the spirit, was blocked.

"Wait, who told you it was lost?"

Tsunade blinked.

Seeing Shiranui Sho's puzzled expression, she continued to explain.

"In fact, in the early days of Konoha's founding, the Kato family donated their method of training in the Spirit Transformation Technique to the village."

"Some of the experiences involving the soul provided important references for my second grandfather in developing a certain ninjutsu."

Wait, that ninjutsu couldn't be...

Shiranui Sho made some connections.

However, Tsunade did not seem inclined to discuss this topic further.

Her delicate face wore a serious expression as she gave the reminder.

"The difficulty of learning the Spirit Transformation Technique is no less than that of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and because it involves the soul, its danger level is even higher than that of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"You can imagine that if something goes wrong during cultivation, the spiritual energy cannot reunite with the physical energy..."

Shiranui Sou nodded solemnly and took over the conversation.

"In that case, the body will become an unconscious living dead, and the soul will be lost in this world until the spiritual energy is completely dissipated and the soul is scattered."

They were all Jonin, so they were naturally familiar with knowledge about chakra, spiritual energy, and physical energy.

"This is also why Second Grandfather listed this ninjutsu as a forbidden technique. Rather than saying that this ninjutsu is lost, it's more accurate to say that no one can learn it at all."

Tsunade inadvertently turned her head and met the bright eyes of the handsome young man beside her.

Her thin, cicada-wing-like lips parted slightly: "Hey, you wouldn't...?"

Sure enough, Shiranui Sho grinned.

"So, this forbidden technique is still recorded in the Book of Sealing?"

……

Inside the Dark Army base.

The four members of the "Wolf" team reunited after nearly a month.

Shiranui Sou, wearing an eagle beak mask, calmly watched the "eagle" walking towards them step by step.

Just like a month ago, "Wagyu" wore the bird-beak mask of the Dark Division.

As he passed by, his eyes, hidden beneath his mask, met Shiranui Sou's gaze, before he subtly looked away.

It seems he doesn't hold a grudge about the conflict that occurred during their first meeting, which led to his hospitalization and recovery.

Seeing this, Shiranui Xiao frowned beneath her mask, a sense of unease rising within her.

The initial hostility between them escalated into a violent confrontation during the battle.

It's impossible to say that the other party has completely let go of their resentment at this point.

This situation can only mean that the other party has a much greater malice hidden deep in their heart.

However, he was not overly worried.

As the "wolf" said, he would not interfere in their personal conflicts, but only if it did not affect the execution of the mission.

If "Shark" really stabs someone in the back during a mission because of personal grudges, "Wolf" will behead him without Shiranui Sho even having to do it.

The eagle walked straight up to the wolf and stood still, speaking firmly.

"Captain, squad member Wu has returned to the team and requests to rejoin the mission!"

"Wolf" nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Wagyu, you've come back just in time. The Hokage has just given orders and assigned our team to carry out a new mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiranui Akira clearly saw "Eagle's" body stiffen for a moment.

"A new...mission?"

The word "鷲" carried a hint of doubt, its voice hoarse as if squeezed out from between its teeth.

"Captain, I remember that the squad just received a mission from the Hokage to monitor... protect a target."

"Vulture."

Upon hearing this, "Wolf" gave him a deep look and said, "You have already completed this mission properly while you are recuperating in the hospital."

After all, Kushina Uzumaki is not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki yet, but rather a "vessel" suitable to become a Jinchuriki.

Even if the village values ​​its safety highly, how could it possibly allow the "Wolf's" secret service team to remain idle and provide protection?

After a month, the village had cleaned up the spy network exposed by Yunyin, and their team's mission was over.

Even "Wolf" himself heard that it took a month because the mission target had indicated that the spies could be dealt with slowly and there was no rush.

Otherwise, their mission should have been declared over in no more than twenty days...

"Really? That's wonderful."
