Gozu Tennō Plan!
Ninja Hospital.
Sakura sighed, "This is the seventh one this week. I didn't expect even Sai would get it..."
"All the people who have been sucked away chakra these days have the same symptoms as Sai?" Shenmu asked doubtfully.
Sakura nodded. "Yes, it's all due to Chakra depletion, but it's nothing serious..."
"Speaking of which, where did you find Sai, Lord Sixth? Do you have any leads on the culprit?"
Shinki shook his head. "There are too few clues; we need to investigate further."
After finishing his Shinki was about to leave. Across from him, Sakura hesitated, clearly wanting to say more. Ծ ̮ Ծ
Shinki saw right through her thoughts. "You want to ask about Sasuke, don't you?"
"Don't worry, I sent him to the Land of Lightning to help with business. If all goes well, Sasuke should be back in the next couple of days. ╭︎( ˙º˙)╯︎"
Sakura blushed. "Okay.(´つヮ⊂︎)"
A few minutes later, Shinki left the Ninja Hospital and headed towards the Hokage's Office...
The Records Room.
Shikamaru stared at Shinki in shock. "Eh? Shinki, weren't you just... (꒪⌓꒪)... Oh~ that was Shadow Clone, this is the real body."
Shinki didn't explain much to Shikamaru, and went straight to the point. "Look up detailed information about the 'Gozu Tennō' plan from the 'Root' organization."
Although Shikamaru didn't know what Shinki was up to, the clever boy didn't say a word and quickly found the information Shinki needed.
"Thank you," Shinki replied, then opened the relevant documents.
[The "Gozu Tennō" Shimura Danzō. The project involved using the cells of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, to create a biological weapon capable of absorbing Chakra and exploding...]
Shinki: "Is there anything more detailed? These records are too vague; they don't even describe the specific experimental results... I don't even know if this creature was ever created, or what its name is..."
Shikamaru sighed and replied, "After Danzo's death, the 'Root' organization was practically disbanded, and detailed records ceased around that time."
"As for whether the remaining members of 'Root' continued experimentation after that, there are no detailed experimental reports in the Records Room."
"You can take a look at this list of personnel and investigate further." As he spoke, Shikamaru pulled out another folder.
Shinki opened the folder, carefully browsed the names, and finally, his gaze settled on 'Shigaraki Tanuki'.
"Shigaraki Tanuki, a participant in the 'Gozu Tennō' project, is the only surviving member of the project. She participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War and currently resides in the Naka Street of Konoha..."
"That's him! (*Ӧ)σ" Shinki said excitedly.
Shikamaru, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly need information about this plan? Has something happened in the village again?"
Shinki explained happily, "In the past two days, the remnants of 'Root' have been acting strangely, and there have been several incidents of Chakra depletion. I was wondering if these two things were related."
"Until just now, I witnessed Sai's Chakra being extracted, which reminded me of the 'Gozu Tennō' plan I saw when I read Danzo's memories..."
Shikamaru: "You believe that the remnants of the 'Root' organization used 'Gozu Tennō' to extract Chakra? (≖╻≖;)"
Shinki: "That's right. (^ワ^)"
Shikamaru's expression changed slightly. "Then we need to act quickly. The data says that the 'Gozu Tennō' plan is to create creatures that extract Chakra and explode... Those remnants of 'Root' might want to blow up Konoha! ╭(°A°`)╮"
"I'll go check it out right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shinki's body vanished from the Records Room!
No. 135, Naka Street.
"Knock knock--"
Shinki knocked politely on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and it was Shigaraki Tanuki's wife who opened it.
Upon seeing the Sixth Hokage's arrival, Shigaraki Tanuki's wife asked in confusion, "Lord Sixth, what brings you here...?"
"I'm here to ask your husband for help with the investigation. Where is he?" Shinki asked.
Shigaraki Tanuki's wife believed Shinki's words and replied, "He left this morning, but he didn't tell me where he went."
As she spoke, Shigaraki Tanuki's wife seemed to realize something was wrong. "Lord Sixth, has Shigaraki Tanuki done something wrong?"
"Please don't kill him... He participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War and contributed to world peace..."
Shinki:(ー_ー)!!
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. I will find out the truth." Shinki tried his best to make his smile seem friendly.
Shigaraki Tanuki's wife wanted to say something more, but Shinki didn't have time to listen and left.
Konoha isn't particularly large, but it's not small either. As he walked along the road, Shinki considered the places Shigaraki Tanuki might go.
"It's a pity I've never seen that guy either. If I had sensed his Chakra, it would have been much easier to find him..."
Shinki muttered to himself.
After saying that, he slapped his forehead and remembered that someone had walked past the Park entrance while he and Sai were talking in the Park!
At the time, I thought it was just some random passerby, but now I realize that person might be the culprit who made Sai become emo!
Thinking of this, Shinki immediately activated Dual Sage Mode, expanding his sensory range to search for the Chakra he had once sensed!
Soon, the Shinki locked its perception area onto the Konoha Shinki Park!
It's afternoon now, and there are many more pedestrians in Shinki Park than during lunchtime. Shinki, now in Dual Sage Mode, attracts a lot of attention as soon as you enter the Park!
"Frog fun! Look, what's that!"
"What a surge of Chakra! That's awesome!"
"He even has horns on his head! So cool! (´◊ω◊`)"
"Wait, this person's face looks familiar... kind of like the Sixth Generation from Kage Rock! ∑(°Д°)"
"If it's the sixth generation, that would be perfect!"
"I initially thought the sixth generation was just averagely handsome, all looks and no substance, but now it's different... What man could resist a little red dragon?! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"
"Calm down! Calm down! There must be a reason why the sixth generation has activated this mode! I think everyone should move aside a bit to avoid getting caught in the crossfire!"
"Bro, you're right! ୧⍢⃝୨"
Meanwhile, as soon as Shinki entered the Park, he locked onto that Chakra Breath!!
The one with that Breath was a man with a stubble and a middle parting; he didn't look like a good guy at all!
On the other side, Shigaraki Tanuki noticed Shinki's gaze and turned to run!
However, with his small stature, how could he possibly outrun the Shinki when it activated its Dual Sage Mode? The Shinki caught up with him in a single sprint!
"Shigaraki Tanuki, you're the culprit who drained your Chakra! Come with me to the interrogation room! (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)" Shinki picked up Shigaraki Tanuki with one hand, like he was carrying a chick.
After Shigaraki Tanuki's eyes turned sinister. "Since you've discovered me, I won't hide anymore! (▼ヘ▼#)"
"Summoning Technique! Nue!!٩(๑`^´๑)۶"
