Mist Ninja Also Has X-Ray Cheat?

Asuma spotted Obito at a glance and shouted, "Yo, Obito! Are you here to pick up a mission too?"

"Why are you up so late? We've already finished ours. Don't tell me you were slacking off again, helping old ladies cross the street?"

Upon hearing this, Obito's fur stood on end, and he retorted with his neck stiffened, "Who was slacking off! I was actually helping an old lady."

"Hmph, we're just about to pick up our mission!"

"You just wait, on this mission, I'm definitely going to kill more Mist Ninja than you!"

Asuma couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Just you, the dead last? It'll be good enough if you don't hold Kakashi back. Don't go dying on the Mist battlefield and forcing us to collect your corpse."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Obito to retort, urging Aragaki Yasushi and Yuhi Kurenai: "Let's go, let's go."

The three of them turned and left, leaving Obito behind, seething with impotent rage.

Kakashi revealed a helpless dead-fish eye, while Rin stood by his side, whispering words of comfort.

Aragaki Yasushi glanced back at the noisy Obito, withdrew his gaze, and muttered to himself.

Better stay away from Team Obito.

That kid has been targeted by that old fox Madara; if Madara were to suddenly make a move, even with the Horse Talisman, he would likely be killed instantly.

Looking at Might Duy, on the other hand, it was a different story.

Saving Private Duy, even if it meant facing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was still better than dealing with Old Man Madara.

No matter how strong the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were, their threat level was nowhere near that of Old Man Madara.

Besides, he could wait until Might Duy opened the Eight Inner Gates and kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to death before using the Horse Talisman to save him.

In the original work, Naruto could use the Six Paths Yang Power to save Guy after he opened the Eight Gates; surely his Horse Talisman could save Might Duy just as easily?

After all, once the Gate of Death is opened, the body rapidly decays and dies, it isn't an instantaneous explosion.

Although the Horse Talisman cannot bring back the dead, as long as the body hasn't gone completely cold, it can be restored.

Saving a Might Duy was absolutely no problem.

Half a day later, Aragaki Yasushi and the others appeared on the vast ocean.

The three of them weren't walking on water; they were squeezed into a paper boat folded by Aragaki Yasushi.

Chakra had to be saved!

If they ran out of chakra after attacking the transport ship and then encountered a counterattack from the Mist Ninja, they would be finished.

They hadn't been rowing for long before Asuma threw in the towel, complaining with a reluctant expression: "Why am I the only one rowing? Can't you lend a hand?"

"This paper boat looks light, but it's really exhausting to row!"

Aragaki Yasushi pointed to the paper wings unfolded behind his back, finding a righteous excuse: "I have to be responsible for scouting the situation ahead; I can't exactly row and fly at the same time, can I?"

Seeing this, Yuhi Kurenai spoke up gently to mediate: "Asuma, let me help you row."

Asuma immediately waved his hand, acting tough: "No need to trouble yourself with such a small matter!"

"Watch me handle this in a minute with ninjutsu!"

With that, he quickly formed hand seals and took a deep breath.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

A gust of wind instantly erupted from his mouth, blowing straight at the paper boat's sail. The boat, which had been drifting along leisurely, suddenly surged forward as if it had been hacked, nearly throwing Aragaki Yasushi and Yuhi Kurenai overboard.

Aragaki Yasushi held onto the gunwale, his mouth twitching: "Can you be a bit more sparing with your chakra?"

"Don't let your chakra run dry when it's time to fight, forcing us to protect you and becoming a burden."

After grumbling a few times, Aragaki Yasushi unfolded his paper wings, soared into the air, and looked out into the distance.

Before long, he landed back on the paper boat.

"Found it. There's a large ship anchored near a small island not far away. That must be the Mist Ninja transport ship, no doubt about it!"

Aragaki Yasushi began to arrange the plan with practiced ease: "Same old rules. I'll sneak in to sabotage the logistics, and you two provide support from the outside. If there's any movement, provide backup immediately."

Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai nodded one after another.

They had played through this routine several times already; they were so familiar with it that no further words were needed.

Seeing this, Aragaki Yasushi's figure flickered, instantly folding into a small, exquisite paper gull, flapping its wings as it flew toward the distant transport ship.

After approaching the transport ship, Aragaki Yasushi didn't act rashly. He first flew to a nearby small island and transformed into an inconspicuous Paper Cricket, crawling quietly along the ground to scout for a target.

The old plan: find some poor sap to use as cover and sneak into the cabin.

But before he had crawled two steps, several kunai suddenly shot toward Aragaki Yasushi, nearly pinning his body to the ground and scaring him so much he almost jumped.

What the hell? What's going on!

I've turned into such a small cricket, and I can still be discovered?

Are these Mist Ninja using wall-hacks?

This defies logic!

Aragaki Yasushi reacted with lightning speed, his form flickering as he reverted into his eight-armed Paper Person state, eyes scanning his surroundings with sharp vigilance.

Just then, a figure suddenly lunged from behind a tree, hands already locked in a seal.

Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!

A surging, terrifying torrent of water instantly swept toward Aragaki Yasushi, unstoppable in its momentum.

Aragaki Yasushi remained completely unruffled; paper wings sprouted from his back, lifting him high into the air as he utilized agile maneuvers to dodge left and right, easily evading the deluge.

He looked down at the Kirigakure ninja before him, and realization dawned on him in an instant.

Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder I was discovered despite hiding so well!

The Kirigakure ninja before him sported long, grayish-blue hair styled like a rooster's comb and wore a loose, cyan-colored robe, but the most striking feature was his eyes.

One gray, one white.

That white pupil—what else could it be but the Byakugan?

It was none other than the Kirigakure jonin, Ao!

Aragaki Yasushi muttered to himself.

No wonder he could see through my disguise; he's using the official wall-hack that is the Byakugan!

Although his Origami abilities originated from another world and required no chakra, making them theoretically difficult to detect, Ao could use the Byakugan to spot him hiding in the grass.

And since his Paper Cricket could move about on its own, it was obvious—it was a total giveaway!

Aragaki Yasushi couldn't help but sigh.

If only I had the Monkey Talisman, that Byakugan definitely wouldn't be able to see through the ruse.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from all around as other Kirigakure ninjas, alerted by the commotion, swarmed in and surrounded Aragaki Yasushi completely.

Yet, Aragaki Yasushi was not the least bit panicked.

It was simple: he could fly!

If he wanted to leave, he could do so at any time.

However, Aragaki Yasushi looked at his mission with a sense of helplessness.

[Mission: Sabotage Kirigakure Logistics]

[Reward: 400 Points]

Damn it!

This mission to sabotage Kirigakure logistics only offered 400 points, yet it forced him to go head-to-head with a jonin?

How stingy!

However, Aragaki Yasushi made a quick mental comparison.

Previously, sabotaging the Iwagakure warehouse had also meant facing an Iwagakure jonin, yet it only granted 300 points.

By that logic, 400 points wasn't actually that bad?

But if that were the case, was the reward for destroying the Kannabi Bridge so high not because of the danger, but because it was tied to the original plot?

Or perhaps, because Madara was watching that mission from the shadows, it was theoretically extremely dangerous, which was why the points were so high?

Shaking his head, Aragaki Yasushi cast these messy thoughts to the back of his mind.

Whatever, now is not the time to think about this!

Hmph, even if I'm surrounded, I have to earn these 400 points; I can't leave empty-handed!

With that thought, the paper wings on his back beat once, and he flew directly toward the transport ship not far away.

Who cares if the stealth mission failed?

Time to go all out!

Even if he had to fight this group of Kirigakure ninjas head-on, he was going to blow up their logistics.
