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

"Is it bad luck or good luck? It's a rare occurrence!"

After taking a deep breath, "Wolf" said seriously, "Then, please take me there."

……

The western area of ​​the Cloud Hidden Border Base.

"Moon" was condensing chakra in its two legs, hanging upside down in the shadows on the cliff like a bat.

Below, instead of man-made structures like those in other base areas, lies a natural canyon.

The only trace of human intervention is the flatter ground created by the ninja's carving.

At the center of the ground is a huge circular pattern, resembling the scene of some kind of ceremony.

A beam of sunlight slung down from above the canyon, illuminating the center of the design at that very moment.

"Looks like I've infiltrated a really amazing place..."

"Yue" gasped.

Based on the objectives of this mission, he could guess the purpose of the open space below after a little thought.

It seems that the western area of ​​the base he infiltrated was the sealing site used to transfer the tailed beasts.

At this time, perhaps because the venue had not yet been officially opened, there were not many Cloud Ninja guarding it.

After noting down the general layout of the western region, "Moon" left, lost in thought.

His mission was to gather intelligence on the western region.

The western region, as the sealing site, contains relatively limited valuable information.

Now that the mission objective has been achieved, getting out of there as soon as possible is the only way forward.

As for watching or blocking the process of the tailed beast's transfer...

Firstly, this was not part of their mission objectives.

Secondly, the exact time for Yunyin to transplant the tailed beast is uncertain, and he cannot wait indefinitely until that time.

Just as "Moon" was about to leave along the lurking path, an unexpected figure appeared in his sight.

Below, the "Eagle" had somehow found its way into the western area by following the shadows of the rock face.

"Vulture?"

Beneath the "moon" mask, his brows furrowed slightly, puzzled as to why the other party had appeared there at this moment.

At the time, the "Wolf" team leader's order was for each person to be responsible for collecting intelligence in a specific area.

The appearance of the eagle here might indicate a change in circumstances.

Before he could think it through, several more footsteps sounded, and rough conversation broke the silence in the canyon.

"Moon" turned its gaze toward the entrance to the western region.

The sight of several figures immediately caused his pupils to shrink.

"The Third Raikage!!"

The oppressive aura emanating from that imposing figure caused a few beads of cold sweat to seep from his forehead.

Below, the burly Third Raikage was pushing a wheelchair past.

The wheels occasionally scraped against the gravel on the ground, making a screeching sound.

In the wheelchair sat an old woman with a full head of white hair, looking lifeless.

"Wait, could it be..."

After "Moon" saw the person in the wheelchair clearly, the corner of her mouth twitched under the mask, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

……

The room of the wooden figure in the eastern area of ​​the base.

"Strange, no other physical indicators have changed, so why is the burning sensation much milder this time?"

The young researcher in the white lab coat scratched his head and muttered to himself.

He was only responsible for recording the medical examination data.

Faced with this abnormal situation, I really can't figure out the reason for it right now.

Upon hearing this, Yugito, who had been standing obediently with her head down, looked up at Shiranui Sou, who was standing by the door.

After their eyes met, she subtly looked away.

"Has its ability to withstand the Two-Tails' chakra increased? No..."

He looked at the two Yugito and said in an unyielding tone, "I need to draw another vial of your blood."

Hearing this, and looking at the cold, gleaming needle, the two wooden figures stubbornly bit their lips.

Just as the researcher brought the needle closer, Shiranui Sho stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.

"grown ups?"

The researcher frowned, his tone puzzled.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you taking so long for a simple medical check-up?" Shiranui Xiao said coldly.

"If we delay Lord Raikage's plans, who will be responsible, me or you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the researcher broke out in a cold sweat.

"This……"

He glanced at the two wooden figures and said decisively.

"Then please escort Backup Number Two over there, sir!"

"Ah."

Shiranui Sou nodded calmly.

Then, her gaze fell upon the two Yugito.

Upon receiving the signal from Shiranui Sho's eyes, the two Yugitos, like obedient little kittens, quietly walked to stand beside Shiranui Sho.

The two stepped out of the room one after the other and came to the corridor in the eastern area of ​​the base.

"How many backups are there?"

Shiranui Sou asked in a barely perceptible voice.

Yukito thought for a moment, then lowered his head and replied, "Four."

Four?

So, including the regular Jinchuriki, that makes five.

Yun Yin was truly well-prepared.

Or rather, the gap between their sealing techniques and those of the Uzumaki clan forced them to be so cautious.

Shiranui Sho's gaze swept across the doors of the other rooms.

The Eastern District was originally a storage place for "containers," and the five people chosen as successors of the Jinchūriki naturally lived in different rooms here.

His gaze swept across the room, and besides Yukito, the figures of four other children came into his view.

Two little boys, with the distinctive dark skin characteristic of the Land of Lightning, one nervously clutched the hem of the Cloud Ninja's robe beside him, while the other stood motionless, frozen in place.

There was another person with fair skin, who showed no particular features.

"One more person needed?"

Shiranui Sou frowned, her gaze finally settling on the exit leading to the western region.

A flash of red appeared briefly at the pushed-open metal door.

That is……

His thoughts were interrupted when a small hand tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Shiranui Xiao lowered her head and saw a girl as delicate as a porcelain doll, with eyes that seemed to speak volumes.

She said softly, "Can you chat with me for a while?"

"What are you going to talk about?"

"You know what a Jinchuriki is, right?"

The wooden figure deliberately lowered its voice.

She was unaware of Shiranui Sho's true identity.

But based on their brief contact, he was the one who treated her like a child the most.

Chapter 69 The Promise with Yukito

"A jinchūriki."

Shiranui Sho subconsciously recalled the figure of Uzumaki Mito.

In this world, the other person is the only jinchūriki he has ever seen.

Mito Uzumaki, with the physique of the Uzumaki clan and her sealing techniques, was able to suppress the Nine-Tails well from the beginning.

It is obviously much more difficult for other Jinchūriki to do the same thing.

Even Brubi, the current Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails in Kumogakure, will die young in the future due to the tailed beast.

Is it necessary to tell a child such a cruel truth?

When Shiranui Xiao met that determined gaze, she hesitated for a few seconds before finally speaking.

"They will seal a large cat with blue flames inside your body, and that way, you will become a Jinchūriki."

"cat?"

Yugito's tense expression relaxed, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you afraid of cats now?"

Shiranui Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Yugito's eyes sparkled: "I really like cats."

“When I was in the orphanage, I often played with the cats that the director kept.”

"I also have a cute cat doll named Mimi."

As she said this, her eyes curved into crescents.

Upon hearing these childish words, Shiranui Xiao's lips curled into a smile.

It seems that children from all over the world like to give their kittens this kind of name.

Yukito's tone suddenly became somewhat sullen again.

"Unfortunately, I didn't expect my body to catch fire, and the downy fur on the back of my breasts was accidentally burned."

That happened when she injected the Two-Tails' chakra for the first time after arriving at the Cloud Hidden Border Base.

She felt like she was on fire, so she hugged her favorite doll tightly and curled up.

Shiranui Sou looked at her quietly.

He knew that the reason the other person couldn't help but express themselves was because of their inner tension.

"Next time, I'll give you a new one."

Shiranui Sho subconsciously ruffled Yugito's light brown hair.

He remembered that when he was in the orphanage, there was a little girl with hair similar to Yukito's that liked to follow him around.

Later, he and Minato left the orphanage, and when they went back to visit, the little girl was no longer there.

Are you lying to me?

Yukito blinked.

All she knew was that Shiranui Sou was not a ninja of Kumogakure.
