Konan: It's already no good?

"Um, wait a minute. If I leave without saying goodbye, the Village Chief will worry. Can you go back with me and tell the Village Chief?"

Fū grabbed Shirozumi's sleeve.

"Yeah, of course."

"Yay~"

Fū skipped to the Waterfall entrance, waving at Shirozumi. "Come on, come on, I'll lead the way~"

"She's really energetic and full of Sunlight."

Shirozumi said with a sigh, following her.

Kakuzu silently followed as well.

If the current higher-ups of Takigakure didn't have a clue, Kakuzu decided he would cleanse them again.

Fortunately, Kakuzu didn't have to take action.

The Village Chief of Takigakure was a young man who cared about the villagers and was a bit cowardly.

Because he himself had no ambition, he had no objection to Fū wanting to leave, but he was worried about Fū's safety, especially since there was a former rogue ninja from their Village, Kakuzu, among the opposing forces.

However, after Shirozumi told him that the higher-ups of Takigakure had sent Kakuzu on a suicide mission to assassinate the First Hokage, the young Village Chief understood Kakuzu's betrayal.

In addition, Fū vividly described how Kakuzu had saved her just now, and how Shirozumi had helped her heal her wounds, and the matter was settled.

The Village Chief agreed, and some others wanted to object, but they didn't dare to speak when they met Kakuzu's eyes.

Kakuzu could also see that the people in this Village were kind and easily bullied.

Before leaving, he left a sentence in front of everyone: "The current Village is good. If it goes back to the way it was, I don't mind cleansing it again and taking your hearts."

The three walked out of the Waterfall, and Kurotsuchi was still standing there in a daze.

After seeing Shirozumi come out, her gaze turned over blankly.

"Kurotsuchi, what are you doing here? Is there anything else?"

Shirozumi asked suspiciously.

"Shirozumi, tell me, do you think this little girl is cute?"

Kurotsuchi pointed at Fū and asked with a serious face.

"Uh, she's pretty cute, why?"

"What about me?"

"So-so."

"What the hell is so-so... Never mind, do you think the Raikage is cute?"

After Kurotsuchi asked this question, she stared at Shirozumi's expression nervously.

"...Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Shirozumi looked disgusted, even feeling a little nauseous.

"That's good."

Kurotsuchi breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

"Then bye-bye, I have a lot of things to do. Contact me when you're free."

Kurotsuchi waved her hand and also left.

"Damn it... Kakuzu, let's go back too."

Shirozumi was confused by Kurotsuchi's question.

"Strategist, you and her go back first. I'll walk back slowly."

"Huh? Why?"

"This mission was resolved too quickly. If I go back now, Deidara will probably come and bother me again. I'll stay outside for a few more days."

"...Alright."

Shirozumi grabbed Fū's hand and leaped into the air.

Fū subconsciously spread Chōmei's wings. She flapped the wings on her waist a few times, only to realize that she didn't need to control the flight at all.

"Huh? How are you flying without wings?"

Fū looked curiously behind Shirozumi, tilting her head in confusion.

On the way back, Fū chattered non-stop.

Shirozumi didn't mind, and he also told Fū some basic information about Amegakure and the Akatsuki Organization.

Back in Amegakure, Shirozumi handed Fū over to Konan. Konan settled Fū's accommodation, and then found Shirozumi again.

Konan took Shirozumi to an open space outside the Village.

"I thought of a method. Let's try it."

Konan handed Shirozumi a glass of milk with a straw in it.

"What do you mean?"

"Take a sip."

"..."

Shirozumi did as he was told and took a sip.

Immediately after, Konan took back the milk Shirozumi had drunk from, turned to the side, and quickly took a sip as well, her cheeks slightly red.

Without waiting for Shirozumi to say anything, Konan threw two Explosive Tags at the tree in front of her.

Bang--

The tree was blown apart and broken into two sections.

"Can you do it?"

Konan looked at Shirozumi expectantly.

Shirozumi raised a hand, and two Explosive Tags gathered above the broken part of the tree and flew back into Konan's hand.

"It really works!"

Konan was a little excited.

This was a new ability Shirozumi had gained in the past month, and it was also the ability that Kurotsuchi had mistakenly identified as Medical Ninjutsu when he was healing Fū before.

As mentioned before, Shirozumi had the idea of finding Itachi before he went to Nagato to test whether he could activate his ability.

This ability was activated by Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan.

In the past month, the Land of Waves has also seen basic improvements and development.

Of course, it was still far behind the changes in the Land of Earth.

Following one of the steps in Shirozumi's plan, Kisame contacted a film crew, and it just so happened that one of the people in the crew was about to issue an escort mission.

So Shirozumi went over again.

He talked with the person in charge of the film crew and reached a cooperation agreement.

He also talked to the person who was going to issue the escort mission for a few words and accepted the escort mission half a month later.

--The reason it was half a month was because they still had to film in the vicinity for a while.

After finishing these things, Shirozumi had accumulated enough Natural Energy, so he found Itachi and asked Itachi to use the "good fire" Amaterasu on him.

Itachi was very surprised, but he did as he was told, aiming at Shirozumi's left hand and preparing to retract it at any time.

It was this "undying" flame, known as the eternally burning fire, that allowed Shirozumi to awaken another "immortality."

The specific description of the ability is just two words--repair.

It can repair anything that has been damaged to its original state.

Shirozumi named this ability "Crazy Diamond."

However, this ability was different from the previous Crimson King and New Moon, and the difference from the original "Crazy Diamond" in JoJo was too obvious.

The original Crazy Diamond could not heal itself, which was the most core setting and limitation.

But Shirozumi's repair could.

His ability was born from being constantly repaired while being endlessly burned by Amaterasu.

After returning to Amegakure, Shirozumi tried to develop his ability.

Because Shirozumi found that simply injecting Natural Energy to strengthen it could only strengthen the rate of repair and consumption.

In any case, it had to be touched to be repaired.

During this period, Konan also helped with practice.

Obviously, Konan had a little plan in her heart.

Especially after Shirozumi mentioned that the consumption of repairing inanimate objects was extremely low.

--Wouldn't it be great if the six hundred billion Explosive Tags could be instantly restored after they were all detonated?

So Konan began to think of various methods.

The first thing was to have Shirozumi inject Chakra and try to use Chakra as an extension of his body.

This was obviously not going to work.

Because what Shirozumi used was not Chakra at all, but Natural Energy.

Shirozumi's Natural Energy was not like Chakra, nor was it like the Natural Energy of the summoning world, which would be contaminated with his own aura.

Shirozumi's Natural Energy was no different from that in the natural world.

Even if Konan used her Dance of the Shikigami to resist the erosion of Natural Energy, she could not make the Natural Energy that Shirozumi transmitted to her become an extension.

And now, Konan had thought of another possibility.

The core reason why Natural Energy could not become an extension was because it did not have Shirozumi's aura.

The Natural Energy in Shirozumi's body was just a consumable when using his ability.

So, in other words, the most crucial element is to be tainted with Shirozumi's aura.

Thus, Konan came up with this plan.

She drank a glass of milk with Shirozumi, indirectly XX, and after being tainted with a trace of Shirozumi's aura, it actually succeeded!

Shirozumi didn't even need to touch it to repair it; her Chakra temporarily became an extension of Shirozumi!

"This principle is somewhat similar to the principle of Tailed Beast Chakra."

Shirozumi analyzed, stroking his chin.

In the original story, Naruto distributed Nine-Tails Chakra to the Ninja Alliance, and then connected the Yin and Yang Nine-Tails Chakra by bumping fists with Minato Namikaze, allowing him to use Flying Thunder God to transfer everyone.

"It's not working anymore?"

Konan threw another Explosive Tag, but when it didn't recover after a long time, she turned to look at Shirozumi.

"...Konan, what you said is ambiguous."

Shirozumi's face was full of black lines.

It had indeed become ineffective.

That little bit of aura from sharing a straw naturally disappeared quickly.

But couldn't she have phrased it differently?
