The concept of the soul has been circulating in the ninja world for over a thousand years, but it has yet to be fully understood.
Orochimaru's research on the soul did indeed unveil a corner of the mysteries of the soul for him.
However, it will obviously take him some time to truly digest this new knowledge.
Not to mention, learning the art of spiritification is also a difficult hurdle to overcome.
If there's really no progress, then we'll have no choice but to turn to that one in the moon for help...
The approaching footsteps interrupted Shiranui Sou's thoughts.
He looked at the newcomer, who was "Moon" with purple hair and wearing an ANBU mask.
"Oh, so eager to learn!"
Seeing Shiranui Sho writing and drawing in his hands, he smiled and said.
"Senior Yue, why are you so late today?"
Shiranui Sho and "Yue" had known each other for several months and had partnered up many times.
Our relationship has become much closer than when we first met, and we talk more casually.
"I was accompanying my partner to the hospital for a check-up earlier, and it took longer than I expected."
"Moon" scratched his head, his fierceness gone, replaced by a somewhat simple and honest demeanor.
Shiranui Sho nodded slightly. During several missions, he had also learned some information about the other party from "Yue".
He was a little younger than the "Wolf" captain, and because his fighting style was a good fit, he was directly ordered by the Hokage to be transferred to the Anbu when he was promoted to Jonin.
Like Captain Wolf, he was exceptionally skilled with a knife, and the two became good friends as a result.
In addition, because his wife is about to give birth, he plans to leave the Dark Side after this year.
Of course, leaving the Anbu does not mean leaving the ninja profession.
It's just moving from the shadows into the sunlight.
Soon, "Eagle" and "Wolf" arrived at the Dark Division base one after another and joined forces.
As always, "Eaglet" stood silently after arriving at the meeting point.
Since returning to the team, "Shark" has not taken the initiative to contact Shiranui Sho.
Aside from necessary interactions in their missions, "Shark" seemed to treat Shiranui Sou as if she didn't exist.
Shiranui Sho, of course, would not take the initiative to talk to someone who harbors hostility towards her.
"The new task I received today."
The wolf's heavy tone broke the silence in the base.
Upon hearing this, Shiranui and the other two also straightened their expressions and listened attentively.
Since rescuing Uzumaki Oona last time, their missions have mostly involved escorting serious criminals and guarding security.
These tasks were child's play for them, and there was no need for the "wolves" to take them seriously.
Judging from the wolf's tone at this moment, the mission this time must be quite complicated.
"Yunyin..."
The words preceding "wolf" caused Shiranui Sou to pause slightly.
Is it Yunyin again?
Before he could think it through, "Wolf" went on to explain the details of the mission.
"The village's spies planted in Kumogakure have spread the word that there is a base on the border of the Land of Lightning that is suspected to belong to Kumogakure."
As he spoke, "Wolf" distributed the scrolls in his hand to the three of them.
That's a map that records the approximate location of the mission objective.
“In the past week, there has been a large-scale movement of supplies and Jonin personnel from Kumogakure, and their destinations generally correspond to the location of this base.”
"Based on the Cloud Ninja's previous actions of kidnapping members of the Uzumaki clan, the intelligence department has made a preliminary deduction about the Cloud Ninja's operation this time."
The "wolf's" gaze swept over the three of them, his tone serious as he spoke each word clearly.
"Kumakuya is changing the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails!"
Chapter 65 Infiltrating the Cloud Shadow Base! Backup Unit Two! [Seeking First Subscription! (8/10)]
On the border of the Land of Lightning, atop a steep, colossal rock.
It was midnight.
Night fell.
Shiranui Sho and three others hid here to make pre-battle preparations.
The "Wolf" captain carefully sharpened his short knife with both hands, and then explained the general battle plan.
"The first principle of this operation is intelligence-based, avoiding direct conflict."
His sharp gaze swept over Shiranui and the other two, who nodded slightly in response.
"Next, we will discuss the main objectives of this mission, which I will prioritize."
"First, confirm the identity of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki selected by Kumogakure. If he is from the Uzumaki clan, then there is no need to worry about conflict; just save him."
Their rash infiltration of the Hidden Cloud Base puts them in a bad position in Konoha.
However, if the Jinchuriki is a kidnapped member of the Uzumaki clan, then Konoha, as an ally, will stand on the moral high ground.
"Second, if the Jinchuriki is not a member of the Uzumaki clan, gather as much information about them as possible."
"Third, the technique by which the Cloud Hidden Seales the Tailed Beasts, I won't go into detail about that."
The Cloud Village's technique for sealing tailed beasts is unlikely to surpass that of Konoha, therefore the third objective is ranked last in priority.
However, it cannot be ruled out that it may be more advanced in some aspects, so this goal cannot be ignored.
The "Wolf" captain sheathed his sharpened dagger, which now shone even brighter, and continued.
"This base of the Hidden Clouds is divided into four areas: east, west, south, and north. We will infiltrate separately and meet up at the same time and place tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
……
Entrance to the eastern area of the Cloud Shadow Base.
The two ninjas wearing Kumogakure headbands had serious expressions, and the fierce-looking ninja dogs beside them stood at attention.
In front of the Cloud Ninja, heavy loads were tied to a cart, leaving two long tracks on the road behind.
The Cloud Ninja guarding the gate nodded to the Cloud Ninja who was pressing the weight, and was about to let them pass.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes nearby.
At the same time, the ninja dog turned its head and stared intently at the bushes, letting out a low growl.
"Who goes there!"
One of the Cloud Ninja had changed his right hand, which was originally holding a kunai, into a throwing gesture.
The next second, accompanied by a crisp croaking of a frog, a dark green frog jumped out of the grass and landed next to the saddlebags.
"Don't lay a hand on me."
The Cloud Ninja, who was about to throw a kunai, quickly stopped him.
It wasn't out of a sudden burst of kindness, but rather due to experience.
"The smell of blood will interfere with the ninja dog's sense of taste. It's just a toad; it'll be gone in a while."
"I'm sorry, I was being overly cautious."
Yunren put down the kunai he was holding and humbly accepted the guidance from his senior.
Sure enough, not long after the two finished talking, the dark green toad leaped half a meter across the road and disappeared into a puddle.
However, no one noticed.
As the toad and the load crossed paths, a hand mysteriously and swiftly emerged from the toad's mouth, leaving a peculiar mark on the load.
……
A toad leaped out from the edge of the pool.
Then, the toad opened its mouth and its belly swelled up.
First the arms, then the head, the body, and finally the legs and feet.
Shiranui Sho mysteriously emerged from the toad's mouth.
"Thanks, little guy."
On the shore, Shiranui Sou stood up, supporting herself on the ground, and turned back to thank the toad with a smile.
"Ah-"
The toad responded with a croak and then leaped into the pool and disappeared.
This toad is no ordinary toad, but a lurking toad from Mount Myoboku.
The technique that Shiranui Sora just used is called the Toad Concealment Technique.
In the original story, Jiraiya infiltrated Amegakure using this ninjutsu.
The burrowing toad has a separate, enclosed space inside its abdominal cavity, similar to a sleeping bag.
Although it appears to come out of the toad's belly, it actually just uses the toad's mouth as a passage to travel between the barrier space and the outside world.
Of course, Cloud Hidden is a secret base that is different from Rain Hidden Village. It is built along the canyon and is not suitable for the Diving Toad to enter.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Shiranui Sho decided on this stealth strategy.
After seeing that the time was almost up, he began to sense the Flying Thunder God Technique he had left on the saddlebag.
After a flash of black light, the figure disappeared from the spot.
When the scene before me solidified again, it was darkness shrouded in a few faint rays of light.
As his proficiency gradually increased, the number of times he made mistakes with Flying Thunder God Technique decreased.
Inside the warehouse where supplies were stored, Shiranui Sho stood leaning against a saddlebag, gathering intelligence about the surrounding area as soon as possible.
The warehouse was dark, with the only light coming from the cracks in the door and the ventilation opening.
He took out his kunai and made a small cut in the saddlebag, judging by touch.
A few seconds later, he moved to another load and repeated the same trick.
Food, clothing, and fresh water.
However, there were no weapons, equipment, or other supplies.
Shiranui Sho frowned slightly; this was somewhat inconsistent with his understanding of military bases.
Footsteps approached from outside the warehouse door.
Shiranui Sho moved along the wall, concealing herself on one side of the door, and lowered her breathing.
A short while later, accompanied by the sound of a heavy iron door being pushed open, a Cloud Ninja strode into the warehouse.
A cold glint flashed in Shiranui Sou's eyes, and the deep darkness merged with the shadows on the warehouse floor, silently engulfing the Cloud Ninja.
After the darkness dissipated, the horrifying, pale face of death was revealed.
The wolf forbids direct confrontation, but that doesn't mean it can't kill.
In the course of carrying out missions, killing enemy ninjas in order to achieve their goals is commonplace for the secret service.
After memorizing his physical characteristics, Shiranui Sho used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport his corpse to a remote wilderness.
When Shiranui Sou stepped out of the storeroom, he had already transformed into the appearance of this Cloud Ninja.
At this moment, only a corner of the eastern area of this base hidden in the mountain was revealed to Shiranui Sou.
Metal walls, long and narrow corridors, and rows of tightly closed metal doors.
Cold lights illuminated every blind spot as fully armed Cloud Ninja patrolled back and forth.
