Chapter 87 Air Supremacy and the Idea of Becoming a Cursed Spirit After Death
"Hanzo's speed and salamander venom are strategic capabilities that we must guard against," Orochimaru said, changing the subject. "However, Yo-kun also possesses the ability to maintain air superiority for extended periods and inflict damage over a wide area."
"Although the requirements are demanding, the power is immense; Hidden Rain Town is the best example."
Orochimaru knew, of course, that the Expanding Rasengan wasn't something that could be thrown casually, but that didn't stop him from using it in advance to boost morale.
Moreover, according to Tsunade, Amegakure took a direct hit from an expanding Rasengan, and Hanzo would never dare to gamble that this move was triggered by probability.
As expected, everyone present gasped upon hearing that the Hidden Rain Pit was Fu Heiyao's doing.
Leaving aside the rare long-duration flight capability for air superiority, let's just talk about the massive explosion that occurred in Hidden Rain Town.
Back then, it made many ninjas live in fear, terrified that the tailed beasts would attack.
I never imagined it was a ninjutsu used by one of our own.
"This is definitely an S-rank forbidden technique!"
"It's safe!"
"Although the requirements are demanding, this forbidden technique, comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball, is to be expected!"
The ninjas who had previously looked worried and distressed inside the tent all began to relax.
The way they looked at Fu Heiyao completely changed.
The perception has shifted from pampering promising young stars to showing respect for the strong.
Nara Shikajin, who had been worried about Hanzo, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Flight and wide-area destructive power—possessing only one of them wouldn't be much, but combining the two undoubtedly leads to a qualitative change.
The last person, or at least half a person, to possess this ability was Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. His Dust Release wasn't a large-scale killer, but combined with his flight ability, he was virtually invincible on the battlefield.
If what Orochimaru said is true, there's no need to be on par with Hanzo in the future; Fushiko can already do what Hanzo could do right now.
Moreover, it is a strategic deterrent specifically designed to counter Hanzo.
Because Obsidian can fly!
Whether it's Hanzo's poison smoke or water-based attacks, as long as they fly high enough, even if he can see them, he can't hit them.
Upon hearing this, many ninja clans looked at Fukuro Akihiro with a different light, now filled with burning heat.
What's the difference between Konoha and Amegakure? They're both strategic deterrent units!
With Konoha engaged in a three-pronged war, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki couldn't participate like those from other villages.
They were naturally powerless against a deterrent unit like Hanzo, which was comparable to a tailed beast.
However, it would be different if our side had someone who could unleash a wide-range attack comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball.
Hanzo's deterrence is no longer one-sided, but two-sided.
As long as an explosion comparable to the Tailed Beast Ball resounds throughout Dragon Village, Hanzo would never dare to commit indiscriminate slaughter.
Orochimaru's assurance as commander and Fushiko's recognition definitively settled Konoha's subsequent strategy against Amegakure.
No one objected to this "lightning" war, whose risks and rewards were so great that it was destined to shock the ninja world as soon as it began.
After the meeting, the message was immediately sent back to Konoha by Orochimaru with the highest level of encryption, awaiting the Hokage's decision.
After reading Orochimaru's analysis, Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked all night before finally approving Orochimaru's proposal.
It was then passed on to three different commanders in the Rain Shadow Battlefield.
The highest authorization from the Hokage mobilized all the Konoha ninja in the Land of Rain to cooperate with Orochimaru's strategic goal of seizing Ryugakure.
In the Land of Rain, on the Sunagakure front, Danzo was furious upon receiving the order: "Absurd!" "How dare Orochimaru confront Hanzo directly!"
Don't they know how terrifying Hanzo is?!
Danzo knew how terrifying Hanzo was, but he had to carry out the Hokage's orders no matter how angry he was.
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
Before officially attacking Dragon Hidden Town, Orochimaru did not waste Fukuko's Shadow Escape ability.
Orochimaru, who had just been promoted to commander-in-chief, needed to stay at the camp, so he sent Jiraiya and Fushiko to infiltrate Ryunin and gather information on Hanzo and the distribution of Ryunin's forces.
Fukuyo readily agreed. He, Orochimaru, and Tsunade had all acted alone before, but Jiraiya was missing. He might as well complete the task.
"I won't say anything more," Tsunade said as she adjusted Fukuyo's soft armor before he left.
"The reversal technique is very powerful, but don't become dependent on it, and always be careful."
"7
Fu Heiyao nodded.
He naturally knew what Tsunade was saying; he was not a perfect ninja, and his underdeveloped body was a weakness.
If you encounter a ninja with a significant skill gap or unorthodox methods, you could still die.
.
Although it's unknown whether one will become a cursed spirit after death due to the power of the curse, it's still best to be careful.
After all, his goal was not yet achieved, the Ten Shadows Technique was not complete, and the Demon Void Demon had not yet been subdued. He would not be willing to die like this.
Besides, there are people waiting for him to go back.
"Remember to come back soon, You." Nawaki showed no sign of Tsunade's worry. "We'll fight side by side then!"
Minato didn't speak, but his eyes revealed absolute confidence in Fukuyo.
Minato spent as much time with Fushiko as he did with Kushina. Even after losing an arm, Fushiko's words made Minato completely believe him.
Now, that trust is only purer.
"What an enviable bond," Jiraiya chuckled, leaning against the wall.
"It's just an intelligence gathering operation, nothing unexpected will happen." Orochimaru didn't think anything bad would happen to the two of them.
Unlike Tsunade, Jiraiya has many ways to protect himself and doesn't need to distract Kuroko.
When the time comes, the two will run in opposite directions, and even if a demigod were to come, he would not be able to catch them.
Tsunade was a little angry at Orochimaru's seemingly sarcastic remarks. "Who cares about Jiraiya? I'm just worried about that brat You."
"Tsunade, this is heartbreaking," Jiraiya said sadly.
Orochimaru shook his head helplessly.
Fukuyo's chances of dying are much smaller than Jiraiya's; the Shadow Escape technique combined with Susanoo alone would make him invincible.
However, Orochimaru, being a man of high emotional intelligence, did not continue to "provoke" Tsunade.
As for Jiraiya, he's just a sycophant; Orochimaru wouldn't even give him a second glance.
On an ordinary rainy night, Kuroyo and Jiraiya entered the outskirts of Ryuhime Town.
No one else accompanied them. The original plan required Hyuga or another sensory ninja to accompany them, but Fushiko refused.
Those people were far less efficient at gathering intelligence than he was, and they would also be a burden during the retreat.
It's far better to team up with Jiraiya to gather intelligence.
The two of them recorded information about the distribution of the Rain Village ninjas on the perimeter, and then Jiraiya's summoning toads helped them confirm and move to a different location.
"Uncle Jiraiya, your intelligence gathering ability is impressive, but it's a bit disgusting," Fushiko said sincerely.
Jiraiya was indeed skilled at intelligence gathering. His toad ninjutsu was quite convenient, allowing him to infiltrate a large number of people around Ryugakure. Combined with Fukuko's perception, he practically turned Ryugakure's intelligence upside down.
"Kid, you're being a bit rude. You should call him Lord Jiraiya." Jiraiya looked embarrassed.
Fukuyo had great respect for Orochimaru and Tsunade, so why was he so rude to him?
"I'd like to, but your usual carefree attitude makes it hard to be serious," Fu Heiyao said, shrugging.
Overwhelmed with grief, Jiraiya summoned two toads with their mouths agape.
"Time is of the essence; we should now proceed into the interior of Dragon's Lair."
As a strategically important location, Dragon's Hidden Village must have many sensory ninjas; we must be prepared to flee at any time.
Fu Heiya also switched to his battle face.
The moment he and Tsunade stole the data last time, they were detected, which later led to Hanzo's involvement. If he hadn't unleashed Black Flash and mastered Susanoo, he would have had to pay a heavy price to escape.
Although Fu Heiyao is no longer the same as before, he has no intention of showing off if he can avoid being discovered.
The two then began to move using the toad as a medium.
Although Fu Heiyao possesses Shadow Cloak, Shadow Cloak is more focused on stealth and small-scale movement.
So he had no choice but to pinch his nose and crawl into the toad's body.
Two small toads slowly emerged from the stream in Dragon Hidden Town, and after coming ashore, they quickly hopped towards a nearby deserted house.
"This feeling of being swallowed is truly unforgettable!" Fu Heiyao pried open the toad's mouth and quickly crawled out.
Then, he controlled the possessing water flow, which was a combination of the elephant and tiger burial techniques, to detach from his body, and the slime on it dispersed.
"I find it very convenient. A ninja must endure what ordinary people cannot." Jiraiya shook his head as he watched the water flow dissipate from Fukuyo.
He doesn't have that much chakra to waste.
After exchanging a few jokes, the two got to work: Fushiko marked the map, while Jiraiya scouted it out.
However, this time the speed was very slow, and the security was much tighter than that of the outer Dragon Hidden Town.
Dragon Hidden Town is quite large. Although Fu Heiyao's malicious perception can barely cover the entire town, the deeper he goes, the more blurred his perception becomes.
"Wait, Yao, don't you find this strange?"
Just as the two were preparing to use Shadow Escape to move to a deeper part of Dragon's Hidden Lands, Jiraiya suddenly frowned.
"What do you mean?" Fu Heiyao paused.
"Aren't these Rain Ninja too scattered?" Jiraiya stared at the map marked by Fushiko, and the more he looked, the more something seemed off.
At first glance, the defenses appear well-prepared, but compared to strategic points like Longyin, they are too loose and do not resemble the state of alert that is about to lead to a major battle.
Do they think Konoha wouldn't dare attack Ryugakure, or do they have something else to rely on?
Jiraiya pointed to the Rain Ninja's encampment on the map, "Carefully observe their movements."
Seeing that Jiraiya seemed to have discovered something, Fukuyo did not refuse his request.
As a veteran ninja, it's normal for him to be keenly aware of danger.
"The Rain Ninja's patrols are all normal; they haven't found any trace of us."
To Fu Heiyao's bewilderment, there was nothing unusual at all.
Either Jiraiya misjudged the situation, or Amegakure had already discovered them.
After all, after Fukuyo and Tsunade caused a ruckus in Amegakure, even if Hanzo didn't know about Shadow Release, he must have realized that Konoha had produced a stealthy ninja who could ignore conventional perception.
But if it's the latter, how exactly did Amegakure sense them?
Suddenly, Fu Heiyao thought of something and walked straight out of the awning, letting the light rain fall on him.
He thought of the plot in the original work where Jiraiya invades Amegakure.
At that time, Pain used a sensory ninjutsu called Rain Tiger Free Technique.
The general idea is that it's a ninjutsu that uses rainwater as a medium to sense everything within its range.
This ninjutsu, so characteristic of Amegakure, is unlikely to be self-created, so...
"There might be a problem with the rainwater; I think we've already discovered that."
Fukuyo's Sharingan began to spin rapidly, its power, infused with cursed energy, growing increasingly sinister.
With his exceptional insight, he indeed discovered barely perceptible traces of chakra in the rainwater.
Jiraiya felt goosebumps rise on his skin when those eyes swept over him.
Upon hearing that Amegakure could sense things through rainwater, Jiraiya had no time to discuss the Sharingan with Fushiko.
They got soaked in the rain along the way; in the land of rain, where it drizzles all year round, it was almost impossible to avoid getting wet.
"We've gathered quite a bit of intelligence." Jiraiya quickly sealed the compiled information into the intelligence toad's body and calmly said, "Since we've been discovered, let's retreat."
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously used their teleportation ability to disappear from the spot.
Amegakure seemed to have noticed the two's movements as well. The Amegakure ninjas, who had been motionless, all seemed to have received some kind of command at the same moment and chased after the two.
"This is a trap. Hanzo is ambushing us. Split up and retreat!"
As the two fled, their malicious perception extended, and during this process, Fu Heiyao sensed a powerful and familiar chakra fluctuation.
Without a doubt, that was Hanzo the Salamander.
Upon hearing Hanzo's name, even the battle-hardened Jiraiya turned pale with fright.
He immediately used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through the earth) to stealthily advance towards another path.
It was no surprise that Jiraiya ran away without a care in the world; this was something they had planned beforehand.
The presence of teammates only limits his running speed.
"See you later, Uncle Jiraiya." Fukuyo didn't hesitate and formed hand seals.
Emerging from the shadows, it was immediately armed with the dark red Susanoo armor, and its undisguised dark red chakra instantly attracted the attention of the entire Dragon Hidden Town like a storm.
However, Fu Heiyao remained completely calm, because his horse... possessed powerful aerial capabilities, and the Rain Shadows chasing him could only watch helplessly as he left.
He did not increase the flight altitude too much.
Jiraiya, who has the information, hasn't run away yet; he needs to buy him some time.
Fukuyo slowly pulled on the Rain Ninja, until Hanzo, who had come to block the bridge, stopped them.
