After two hours of searching and investigating, the four of them finally found something useful:
Inuzuka Rui was a Konoha jōnin with excellent talent, but because of his age, his strength was only average. Still, thanks to his coordination with Yakushi Maru, the Ninja Dog he had raised, the two of them together were strong enough to match an ordinary jōnin. Like most members of the Inuzuka Clan, Yakushi Maru and Inuzuka Rui had grown up together, so Inuzuka Rui treated him exceptionally well. Whether it was the finest dog food or pretty female Ninja Dogs, Inuzuka Rui would go to any lengths to get them for Yakushi Maru.
Actually, this wasn't anything unusual. The Inuzuka Clan's ninja were quite happy to let their female Ninja Dogs spend time with Yakushi Maru. After all, he was strong, which meant he had good genes, and they would get to keep the puppies after the breeding. So Yakushi Maru had never lacked female company—until he met a Ninja Dog named Snow.
Inuzuka Ryu was an ordinary Konoha genin from the Inuzuka Clan. He had average talent, a withdrawn personality, and very few friends. His only friend was the Ninja Dog he had been with since childhood, Snow. When he learned that the jōnin Inuzuka Rui had set his sights on Snow, Inuzuka Ryu felt as if the sky had fallen. But for Snow, he was willing to risk his life to protect her!
Inuzuka Ryu thought Snow was pure and innocent. But dogs were naturally promiscuous. Snow was thoroughly enjoying herself, while Inuzuka Ryu stood nearby, weeping in despair. The scene was so sordid that Zhou Duan had been about to stick around and watch, but then he remembered that he needed to teach Inuzuka Rui a lesson. He had no choice but to take out the freshly prepared potions and hurl them into the house!
"Inuzuka Rui, what goes around comes around. Since you took revenge on me first, don't blame me for showing no mercy. As punishment for what you did, try my specially made potions—the Dog Whip Erection Potion and the Husky Potion!"
"Dog whip? Husky? What kind of nonsense is this? Zhou Duan, what are you doing here?"
Inuzuka Rui was shocked to see Zhou Duan suddenly appear. The battle meeting had ended late, and as soon as he got back, Yakushi Maru had stopped him on his way to see Snow. Compared to anything else, Yakushi Maru was more important!
As for Zhou Duan and the others, Inuzuka Rui had expected them to still be working in despair at the sewage pool. Why were they suddenly here, throwing some strange potion at him?
"Potion, dog whip, husky... Not good!"
As a jōnin, Inuzuka Rui had immediately dodged beyond the potion's range. Yakushi Maru should have been able to dodge it too, but he was still happily thrusting back and forth. Realizing this, Inuzuka Rui hurriedly turned to look at Yakushi Maru—and saw something that filled him with terror and made his blood run cold!
Snow and Yakushi Maru had been happily playing in a corner and hadn't managed to dodge in time. After inhaling the potion, they both stiffened for a moment. Then Snow took off running wildly around the house, dragging Yakushi Maru, whose dog whip was still inside her!
"How about it? Not bad, right?"
Standing beside Inuzuka Rui, Zhou Duan recorded the effects of his newly developed potions in the system, based on the two Ninja Dogs' condition:
Dog Whip Erection Potion Target: All male Ninja Dogs Effect: The potion vaporizes quickly and is unaffected by rain or wind. After inhaling it, the target's dog whip remains erect for at least one hour. Husky Potion Target: All female Ninja Dogs Effect: The potion vaporizes quickly and is unaffected by rain or wind. After inhaling it, the target behaves like a husky, with no control over her actions or thoughts!
Huskies were infamous in the Shinobi World—a breed of Ninja Dog so stupid that they were in a league of their own. Since ancient times, no ninja who teamed up with a husky had ever met a good end!
They could be hiding together perfectly well, only for the husky to suddenly start running around wildly. They could be performing Fang Passing Fang together, only for the husky to suddenly knock its partner flying halfway through. Or their partner could be using a ninjutsu, only for the husky to bite their hand and get them killed!
Countless bloody lessons in the Shinobi World had warned those who came after. These days, the Inuzuka Clan's ninja only took huskies onto the battlefield to disrupt enemy ninja. And now Zhou Duan had used his potion to give Snow the spirit of a husky. What would happen?
The answer was that Snow started using Fang Passing Fang while Yakushi Maru was still inside her!!!
"Just as you'd expect from Zhou Duan..."
Nawaki watched the spectacle with eyes full of admiration.
"No one else will ever get to see Fang Passing Fang performed like this, right? That's incredible!"
"It really is!"
Water Gate looked impressed too.
"I'd thought of using Zhou Duan's potions and waiting until Inuzuka Rui was alone to beat him up, but this turned out even better!"
"That's satisfying!"
Hundred Palms leaned against the window, watching Snow break through the wall and race around the entire compound with Yakushi Maru, using Fang Passing Fang everywhere she went.
"Thanks to Zhou Duan, we don't have to put up with it. Otherwise, Inuzuka Rui assigned us to the sewage pool on our very first day, and who knows what other miserable tasks he might have lined up for us over the next few days!"
The three of them watched without a care in the world. They weren't worried about getting into trouble. The sewage pool was normally handled by a dedicated crew, and Inuzuka Rui's assignment had already come close to violating regulations. He could bully genin with no connections, but Zhou Duan and Nawaki were both from influential families. The matter wasn't serious, but if they reported it to their superiors, it would still cause trouble for Inuzuka Rui. At the very least, no matter how resentful he was about Zhou Duan drugging Yakushi Maru, he wouldn't dare report it or retaliate!
"Zhou Duan, please stop! I'm begging you!"
Inuzuka Rui watched Snow drag Yakushi Maru all over the place, and completely broke down. Inuzuka Ryu had passed out from the shock some time ago. Inuzuka Rui had known Zhou Duan was trouble, but he'd never expected him to be such a bastard.
"I was wrong to make things difficult for you. Take it out on me, if you want, but Yakushi Maru is innocent! I have to take him to the battlefield in a few days to fight the enemy! Zhou Duan, we're comrades. Please, let him go!"
"I'd like to let him go too..."
Zhou Duan looked troubled as he faced Inuzuka Rui.
"But you won't take revenge on me afterward, will you?"
"Of course not!"
Inuzuka Rui was nearly in tears. As he watched Yakushi Maru howl in pain while Snow dragged him around, his heart felt as if it were breaking.
"I swear I won't cause you any trouble. I'll never do it again!"
"Good. Here, take this Hair Growth Potion and this Hair Removal Ointment..."
Zhou Duan handed Inuzuka Rui a bottle of potion and a box of green ointment.
"After you drink the potion, Snow will return to normal right away. As for Yakushi Maru, once the erection potion wears off, the fur around his dog eggs will keep growing for an hour. You just have to keep pulling the fur off with the green ointment until the potion wears off. That's the only way to completely end the Dog Whip Erection Potion's effects. Hey, don't look at me like that..."
Zhou Duan gave Inuzuka Rui a bright smile.
"After all, your buddy isn't some kind of demon!"
