Sound Four

A few days ago.

A shark controlled by Su Yu accidentally swam into a corner of the coast.

As a result, this shark was eaten by something unknown.

It was because of this that Su Yu discovered a monster hidden in this place, and this monster was definitely massive in size.

As for whether it was truly the Three-Tails, he would need to investigate it personally.

Su Yu looked at the calm sea surface before him.

The shark he was controlling was swimming toward the seabed.

Once the shark reached the depths of the ocean, it instantly lost its connection with Su Yu.

Su Yu immediately activated his Byakugan to peer into the depths.

The next second.

He saw a gargantuan monster.

The chakra emanating from this monster was the familiar chakra of a Tailed Beast.

"It really is the Three-Tails; it seems my trip wasn't in vain."

A smile appeared on Su Yu's face.

He took out the scroll he carried with him, which was filled with Explosive Tags.

Several sharks swam over from the surface.

Su Yu took out the Explosive Tags and began to set them up.

Once all the Explosive Tags were prepared, Su Yu ordered them to swim toward the seabed.

A few seconds later.

Su Yu began to lose contact with the sharks.

The surviving sharks fled desperately as the Three-Tails pursued them from the seabed.

Just as it was about to reach the surface.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

A series of explosions rang out.

The sea surface was instantly dyed red with the blood of the Three-Tails.

The injured Three-Tails was stunned for a moment, and immediately after, it sensed the Nine-Tails aura released by Su Yu.

Enraged, the Three-Tails burst out of the sea in an instant.

Su Yu vanished at that very moment.

The next second.

He appeared above the head of the Three-Tails, the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken already fully condensed.

Sensing the aura above its head, the Three-Tails lashed out with its tail toward Su Yu.

"Pfft."

The Wind Style: Rasenshuriken sliced across the tail of the Three-Tails.

A small section of the tail was severed instantly.

Su Yu used the Body Flicker Technique again to catch the small piece of the tail, sealing it away in a scroll.

Injured once more, the Three-Tails grew even more furious.

The wounded tail regenerated quickly, and it used its three tails to strike at Su Yu again.

The intelligence of the Three-Tails was not low.

It knew that the previous ninjutsu had immense power and was certainly not an ordinary technique, which meant that Su Yu could not possibly use it a second time in such a short period.

Unfortunately, it had underestimated Su Yu's Body Flicker Technique.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan activated, and the Tailed Beast Cloak flared to life.

Su Yu dodged the attacks of the Three-Tails as if he were playing a game of dodgeball.

Not only that, but he was also counterattacking.

The Wind Power that Su Yu had researched was similar to Chakra Enhanced Strength; he could instantly envelop his fist in chakra to deliver even more powerful blows.

Even as a Tailed Beast, the Three-Tails could feel the pain of these attacks.

It felt like a human being stung by a bee.

If not for the layer of scales protecting the Three-Tails, it would never have been able to withstand such attacks.

The more it tangled with Su Yu, the more it realized how troublesome this human was.

Su Yu's strength was at the level of a Jonin, which, to the beast, was not particularly formidable.

However, Su Yu's Body Flicker Technique and Tailed Beast Cloak left it with no way to land a hit on him.

Just as the Three-Tails hesitated on whether to retreat.

Su Yu finally found the opportunity to flank it.

In a mere instant.

The moment the Three-Tails saw Su Yu vanish, it felt that something was amiss.

Before it could even react.

Su Yu's Wind Style: Rasenshuriken had already sliced across its three tails, severing two of them.

Before the two tails could even hit the ground, Su Yu formed hand seals to summon a water dragon.

The water dragon propelled the two tails directly into the sky, where Su Yu caught them just in time.

The Three-Tails looked up to see the water dragon dissipate and Su Yu soaring through the air.

It widened its eyes, filled with confusion.

A ninja who can fly?

In the forest.

After Su Yu flew above a forest using his Wind Wings, his chakra was nearly exhausted.

Two S-rank ninjutsu, nearly ten uses of the Body Flicker Technique, plus the activation of the Sharingan and the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Even with the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, he could not withstand such consumption.

Along the way.

He had even consumed a Military Ration Pill.

It seems the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan needs an upgrade, Su Yu thought to himself.

He was still halfway to reaching the Jonin level.

It would take at least another three months to reach Jonin status.

By then, he should have also gathered ten ability draw opportunities.

Su Yu had consumed the Ice Release bloodline he drew in order to upgrade his Sharingan.

This meant that the next time he drew, as long as he was near Yuki Haku, there was a chance to draw the Ice Release bloodline again.

He was close to researching ice-style chakra, so the Ice Release bloodline was useless to him; it would be better to upgrade his Uzumaki Clan bloodline instead.

Things like the Mangekyo Sharingan required more time to prepare.

He did not want to become blind from overusing the Mangekyo Sharingan after upgrading it.

Su Yu rested in place for two hours before leaving the forest.

His trip had another purpose besides collecting Three-Tails chakra.

That was to use Impure World Reincarnation on a few powerful individuals.

As well as the person reincarnated through Impure World Reincarnation.

Otogakure.

Ever since the Konoha Crush, the entire force of Otogakure had retreated, with most members moving to various hidden bases.

However, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows; the most dangerous place is often the safest.

Orochimaru's base remained in Otogakure.

Su Yu arrived at Otogakure and used the Mind's Eye of the Kagura to locate Orochimaru's new base.

He reached the front of the base and was intercepted by two people.

They were members of the Sound Four.

Jirobo, who excelled in taijutsu and Earth Release, and Tayuya, who excelled in genjutsu and the Summoning Technique.

The strength of these two was undoubtedly at the Jonin level.

"If you want to see Lord Orochimaru, you must first get past us," Tayuya said indifferently.

Jirobo assumed a taijutsu stance.

"Your strength is not bad, but my strength is just a little bit higher than yours," Su Yu said, then vanished.

The next second.

Tayuya looked at Su Yu, who was now inches away; before she could react, she had already fallen into a genjutsu.

The S-rank Hell Viewing Technique, even without the amplification of the Sharingan, was enough to make Tayuya fall victim to it.

Su Yu's fist, wrapped in wind-style chakra, sent Tayuya flying with a single blow.

This strike left her severely injured.

Seeing this, Jirobo hurriedly formed hand seals, attempting to trap Su Yu with an Earth Release Barrier.

Su Yu did not dodge or evade, a look of disdain on his face.

The Earth Release Barrier was complete!

Jirobo controlled the Earth Release Barrier with one hand while looking at the waking Tayuya.

"Tayuya, are you alright?"

"Pfft."

Tayuya spat out a mouthful of blood.

Su Yu's punch had done more than just injure her; it had forced chakra into her body, preventing her from circulating her own energy properly.

"Jirobo, watch out for this..."

Before Tayuya could finish her sentence, the Earth Release Barrier shattered instantly.

The Wind Style: Rasenshuriken headed straight for Jirobo.

At the critical moment.

Jirobo activated his Cursed Seal, exerting his full power into his earth-style ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, ordinary ninjutsu could not stop an S-rank Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.

Jirobo neutralized ninety percent of the chakra, but the final ten percent struck him, leaving him severely wounded and covered in lacerations.

Only then did Yakushi Kabuto appear.

He adjusted his glasses and looked at Su Yu with a smile, completely ignoring Jirobo and Tayuya.
