Chapter 582: Sasuke's Discovery
Hiruko used Explosion Release to blast open the Four Violet Flames Formation. In reality, Explosion Release wasn't meant to be used like this. One of his right hands was blown to bits in the process, but he seemed to feel no pain. A new hand, a hand covered in livor mortis, soon grew from the stump.
Purplish-black blood continuously flowed from the gaps in his bandages. After the blood mixed with the black water created by the Chimera Technique, a strong stench filled the air.
The ninja were well-trained. They could eat and rest calmly in a sea of corpses and blood. This smell was still bearable.
Kakashi signaled for everyone to retreat while he observed the enemy with his Sharingan.
Use Kamui? Use it once and be dizzy for three days, use it twice and be dizzy for a month? He wouldn't use Kamui unless it was a matter of life and death.
"Use Earth Release!"
With his command, the ANBU named "Aka" began to form hand seals, with two other ANBU assisting him.
"Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon!" A large amount of clay fell from the sky, surrounding Hiruko.
Kakashi himself was also forming hand seals. He used a ninjutsu of the Third Hokage: "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The fire dragon attacked Hiruko from three directions. Trapped by the Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon, he was instantly engulfed in the sea of fire.
His body was like a tattered cloth bag. Whenever it was damaged, new organs, muscles, and skin would grow from the inside of the wound. These things all came from the four corpses.
The body parts belonging to Hiruko were getting fewer and fewer, while those belonging to the four corpses were increasing.
At first, he was just hearing voices in his head, but soon it turned into conversations with completely different personalities, tones, and mannerisms, as if the four corpses had been revived in his body.
"Don't get entangled here! Get out of here quickly," a woman's voice said.
A rough man's voice followed, "Go east. I feel a huge chakra source over there. As long as we devour that thing, our immortal body will be truly invincible!"
Another powerful man's voice agreed, "Yes, we can become even stronger! Surpass everything and grasp the ultimate power in this world!"
Hiruko felt that what the "people" were saying made a lot of sense. He could become stronger. Then, would Orochimaru and Jiraiya still dare to look at him with such contempt?
The quality of the four corpses was decent, and the solar eclipse ritual had no problems, but the two three-tomoe Sharingan he had swallowed were a far cry from Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan.
With the help of the Chimera Technique, his eyes had now become Sharingan, but the Yin nature chakra integrated into his bloodline was still severely lacking.
The "friends" in his body vaguely pointed him in a direction, wanting him to seize more Yin nature chakra to supplement the deficiency in his body.
Kakashi? Just trash! They had a better choice now!
Hiruko had little ability to think anymore. In a dazed state, he finally mastered the ability he had obtained from the Kekkei Mōra.
His right hand subconsciously opened. The earth and fire style ninjutsu around him instantly lost their ability to change form, turning into pure chakra and being absorbed into his body.
"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!" Kakashi quickly formed hand seals and released his earth wall with four dog heads.
In the next second, Hiruko blasted out the chakra he had absorbed like some kind of shockwave.
With a loud boom, the earth wall was shattered, and a gap was torn in the ANBU's encirclement.
Hiruko immediately cut off his connection to the black water of the Chimera Technique, used Magnet Release to gather the metal in the laboratory, and then stepped on a metal disk, preparing to fly out of the laboratory.
"Don't even think about running! Kunai Lightning Cutter!" Kakashi infused his kunai with the Lightning Cutter and threw it, piercing Hiruko's arm.
He flicked his wrist, and the iron chain at the hilt of the kunai tensed, forcefully holding Hiruko back.
Yūgao Uzuki threw a chain from another direction, and the ANBU ninja Aka also entangled his leg with a chain hammer.
The three of them stood in a triangle, tying Hiruko up tightly.
The other ANBU tried to help, but the black water that Hiruko had cut off seemed to have a life of its own. It continuously split, replicated, and possessed. All the experimental subjects in the laboratory came to life at this moment.
Monsters with snake heads and bull bodies, and eagle heads and horse bodies all appeared.
They surrounded Kakashi's group from all directions, and in the next second, the two sides engaged in a life-or-death battle.
At this time, Kakashi and the others were fighting in the laboratory. Ino was summoning Izuna and fighting Madara to the death fifty miles away. And in the middle of these two battlefields, Shikamaru and the others, who were slacking off, were already preparing dinner.
Ino's shadow clone had received the Uchiha Gunbai and a note from the main body via Togetsukyō on the way. She knew that they were fighting Madara over there.
The others should not get involved.
They had already had lunch, but Choji ate five meals a day. To openly slack off, having another meal was acceptable.
Everyone was an expert in wilderness survival. There was nothing to say. They each found something to do.
Naruto and Sasuke went to the river to catch fish, Sakura went to pick fruit, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was in charge of cooking.
After Sasuke returned from catching fish, he saw Shikamaru chopping wood, Ino fanning the fire with the Uchiha Gunbai, and Choji holding an iron pot, stir-frying vegetables for everyone. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
That fan seems to be...?
He had seen Obito in battle before, but it was just a fleeting glance. He hadn't noticed if he was carrying a fan on his back. Obito had also run away quickly, so he hadn't gotten a clear look.
At this time, he widened his eyes and looked carefully.
Fearing that he had seen it wrong, he hid in the shadows and observed intently for a while. It was confirmed. This was the flame fan that had been passed down through their Uchiha clan for generations! It was just that this thing had been taken away by Madara Uchiha, and for the next sixty years, it had never appeared again.
Sasuke didn't know how this thing had ended up in Ino's hands. Was it spoils of war? He knew that Ino had fought Madara.
"Finders keepers" was the rule of the ninja world.
There was only one way for him to get the fan back now, and that was... to buy it!
Sasuke beckoned to Sakura. Sakura's face turned red. She thought it was something else. She walked over shyly. After hearing what he meant, she let out a sigh of relief. Just this?
After dinner, Sakura came to find Ino, wanting to ask about the fan. If possible, she could pay for it.
Ino was very busy. When Sakura entered the tent, a certain someone was chewing on a pen, pondering how to write the mission report.
The main body had a lot to do, so these miscellaneous tasks were usually handled by the shadow clone.
There was also a bag of potato chips and two tomatoes on the desk. Ino's shadow clone had no ladylike demeanor at all. She sat with her legs spread, munching on a tomato while padding the mission report with words!
"Something you need?"
"Yes, I saw you using that fan when you were cooking earlier..." Sakura said softly, stating her purpose.
