Forbidden Technique (Please Follow for More!)

"Take off her clothes??"

Everyone present froze after hearing those words, only coming to their senses after a long while. A tremendous uproar erupted in their hearts.

Zong Quan suddenly looked toward Ingetsu and gritted his teeth, quietly clenching his right hand into a fist.

"Hotaru!!!"

Seeing the young lady about to be humiliated, the Great Elder of the Tsuchigumo Clan flushed red and roared at the top of his lungs.

Smack—

Uchiha Nanfeng knocked the old man to the ground with one kick and pinned him down firmly, saying in a deep voice:

"What are you shouting for? Behave yourself!"

The expressions of Izumi, Kurenai Yuhi, Nonō, and the others in the Uchiha group also changed.

They did not really understand what Ingetsu was doing.

Kurenai Yuhi was the first to react. Seeing that Ingetsu's expression remained calm and that he looked utterly devoid of desire, she immediately relaxed.

Ingetsu never did anything pointless.

He was not the sort of man who indulged in wanton lust.

There had to be a reason for this...

"Tsk, tsk, is it really that exciting?" Nonō raised a hand and adjusted her round glasses, sighing inwardly. I seem to have followed a leader with some strange fetishes... I wonder if he'll do this to me someday, too?

As she thought about it, Nonō suddenly squeezed her legs together.

The other caravan members and the guards all dared to be angry but not speak.

They were surrounded by the Uchihas. Their fury was genuine fury.

But their fear was genuine fear as well. Judging from the body language and movements of the people beside them, they could be certain that these people's ninja blades really might take their lives.

After being named by Ingetsu, Uchiha Mikoto lowered her willow brows. Gritting her teeth, she slowly stepped forward and took Hotaru from Tamao.

Tamao stood to the side, grinning foolishly.

Seeing that his big brother was so interested in women,

he felt reassured.

Rebuilding the Uchiha's glory would have to begin with increasing the Uchiha population.

Hotaru's face was deathly pale.

Thinking about what she was about to face, her mind went blank. She trembled like a little quail.

She had heard her clansmen discuss how the bandit-like rogue ninjas of the Ninja World dealt with young women.

Mikoto sensed the young girl's fear beside her. She looked up at Ingetsu and said sternly:

"You..."

Ingetsu's expression remained calm. Without giving Uchiha Mikoto a chance to speak, he saw her hesitating and stepped forward himself, taking the young girl from her.

At this point,

the hearts of everyone in the caravan sank to the bottom of the sea. They could only place their final hope once again in Zong Quan, who was crouching beside Ingetsu.

Zong Quan clenched his teeth. His fists tightened around his head as though he had made some decision and was ready to act.

If this man really made a move against Hotaru, Zong Quan would intervene to stop him. That was his bottom line.

Ingetsu gave him a sidelong glance and said calmly:

"I'm not interested in her."

"Uh..." Zong Quan froze. Realizing that his thoughts had been exposed, he broke into a cold sweat.

After speaking, Ingetsu placed his hand against Hotaru's back. Through her clothes, he sensed around for a moment and confirmed that she did not possess the seal of Forbidden Technique: Raging Hair Heaven.

Only then did he withdraw his hand.

He looked somewhat disappointed.

At this stage, the heir of the Tsuchigumo Clan had not been implanted with the clan's Forbidden Technique by its clan head.

Ingetsu had asked Mikoto to take off her clothes only because he wanted to inspect her back.

The seal of Raging Heavenly Hair would cause terrifying spiderweb-like scars to twist across the human back.

This Forbidden Technique was extraordinarily frightening.

The practitioner could absorb Chakra from nature through their body and store it. The longer they accumulated power, the greater its might. Its maximum recorded destructive power was enough to instantly destroy an area with a radius of several hundred kilometers after being released.

It was comparable to a nuclear bomb!

If possible, Ingetsu naturally wanted to master this Forbidden Technique, but if he had no opportunity, he would not force the matter.

His main task now was to resist Leaf Village's subsequent pursuit and complete his defection.

Seeing Ingetsu release Hotaru,

everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Tamao pondered gloomily. Is big brother not interested in this girl because she isn't pretty enough?

Hmm, next time I'll capture someone prettier for big brother!

Tamao made up his mind.

Ingetsu came before the oldest white-haired elder of the Tsuchigumo Clan and crouched down, saying indifferently:

"I'm not interested in your young lady or in the Tsuchigumo Clan."

"Then what do you want?"

The Great Elder of the Tsuchigumo Clan nodded heavily.

From the young man's tone, the old man could tell that his opponent truly had no interest in making things difficult for them.

Ingetsu said calmly:

"Continue on your way. We'll travel mixed in with your caravan. Once we pass Katsuragi Mountain, we'll leave on our own."

As he spoke, Ingetsu raised his right hand and gave the Uchihas a retreat signal.

The Uchihas sheathed their blades and retreated to Ingetsu's side.

The caravan seemed to have recovered half its life. Everyone was panic-stricken as they looked in unison toward the Great Elder, the highest-ranking person there, and Hotaru, who was still shaken.

"Ahem... continue... moving!"

The Great Elder of the Tsuchigumo Clan flushed red. Knowing that he had no choice, he could only organize the caravan's departure.

Whatever happened, they would discuss it after returning to the clan lands.

Hopefully, these powerful people would keep their word and would not be plotting against the already fallen Tsuchigumo Clan after infiltrating their caravan.

Ten minutes later.

The caravan set out.

At Ingetsu's request, the caravan chose the middle road out of the three routes leading into Katsuragi Mountain and slowly proceeded forward.

This was the route Ingetsu had chosen earlier.

After all, Izumi had said that all three roads were passable.

Gurgle—

The carriage wheels rolled as the caravan advanced slowly.

However, after this farce,

the atmosphere within the caravan was unusually heavy.

The Uchiha defection party, Kurenai Yuhi, Nonō, and Hotaru, who was being held hostage, sat in the bed of the second carriage, disguised as caravan members.

The caravan members who had originally been in the carriage were driven to the back of the convoy to walk.

A mission completion prompt appeared in Ingetsu's mind.

Side Mission: Disguise

Options:

1. Lead the team in infiltrating the Tsuchigumo Clan caravan.

Mission complete!

Reward: Ninja Tool Pouch.

The reward arrived.

Ingetsu flipped his right hand. Space rippled in his palm, and an ordinary white ninja tool pouch wrapped in bandages appeared in his hand.

The pouch was heavy, filled with ninja tools.

When the Uchihas saw Captain Yinyue perform his miraculous "space ninjutsu" again, they immediately became interested.

Hotaru had never seen such a technique before. Her jewel-like eyes stared fixedly at Ingetsu's palm, filled with curiosity.

Since these people had no designs on her,

most of the fear in Hotaru's heart faded. She was only somewhat worried and did not know what these people were after.

Opening the ninja tool pouch, Ingetsu peered inside by the light of the torches.

He saw a Kunai, ten Shuriken, a roll of steel wire, and an Exploding Tag.

They all looked very ordinary.

Ingetsu took the Kunai from the pouch. The moment his fingers touched the cold metal hilt, its method of use immediately surfaced in his mind.

D-D—

Ingetsu waved his hand and threw the Kunai from the pouch at a tree outside the carriage. It struck the tree's surface precisely and sank deep into it.

The movement was completed in one fluid motion.

He moved so quickly that only the few Uchihas beside him reacted, instinctively turning aside to dodge.

Only after the sound of the Kunai striking the tree rang out

did the young girl Hotaru abruptly turn her head to look. Yet she did not see any Kunai or Shuriken nearby.

Ingetsu lowered his head and looked at the ninja tool pouch.

The Kunai he had thrown earlier had returned to the pouch, as if it had never been thrown.

All the ninja tools in this pouch, including the Exploding Tag, could refresh after use and be used repeatedly.

As for the thrown ninja tools, Ingetsu could also control how long they remained gone. Hotaru had found nothing when she turned around just now because of this.

"This is what makes it special." Ingetsu thought to himself, It's better than nothing.

As he thought, he was preparing to tie the ninja tool pouch to his right thigh when Kurenai Yuhi crouched before him with a smile and said:

"Let me help you!"

With that, Kurenai Yuhi took the ninja tool pouch from Ingetsu's hand, knelt before him, and carefully tied it in place.

The convoy continued forward over the bumpy road.

After entering Katsuragi Mountain and passing a low-lying area suitable for an ambush,

a Side Mission appeared:

Eliminate the Root Organization Pursuit Team.

Options:

1. Eliminate the Root Organization team lying in wait in Katsuragi Mountain.

Reward: Forbidden Jutsu Replication Scroll!

The Side Mission prompt appeared once again.

Ingetsu's eyes lit up.

PS: An explanation of the abilities in this fan creation.

1. Green Medicine refreshes every morning at 6:00 and can be used infinitely, endlessly enhancing strength.

Giving it to others could only heal their injuries, and it had side effects. This would be explained later.

2. Storage Space will slowly expand.
