Chapter 27

Afterward, Liu Feng left the System Space and headed next door to Mikoto's house.

"What were you doing earlier? You had the door locked. Were you doing something shameful?"

The moment Liu Feng entered, he heard Kushina's words. He gave her a surprised look and asked,

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Kushina, who had been in a good mood upon seeing Liu Feng, instantly became angry. She snorted and turned her head away.

"Did something good happen?" Mikoto asked Liu Feng.

Because she knew Liu Feng well, Mikoto could tell that he was in a very good mood right now.

"Yeah. Come to think of it, this really calls for a celebration."

Liu Feng reached out, wrapped Mikoto in his arms, and spun her around. Mikoto's face flushed slightly red as she glanced at Kushina. With Kushina here, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Hmph."

Kushina shot them a glance and let out a heavy snort, feeling like she had just been force-fed affection.

After setting Mikoto down, Liu Feng came over and sat beside Kushina.

"It is time to send you back. While I'm at it, I'll tell your father about your kidnapping."

"I'm not going back. I'll stay at Mikoto's house, and you can't stop me. Bleh." Kushina made a face at Liu Feng in annoyance.

"Heh, you're really not embarrassed to be a third wheel here."

Liu Feng pinched Kushina's cheek, testing just how thick her skin was.

"Hmph, Mikoto, let me tell you, you'd better stay away from this big bad guy. Otherwise, he'll definitely bully you."

Kushina slapped Liu Feng's hand away irritably, then ran over to Mikoto's side to badmouth him.

Liu Feng did not mind. Since Kushina wanted to stay here, he would let her stay for now. However, he really needed to find Uzumaki Akira.

After telling Mikoto, Liu Feng headed toward the Uzumaki Clan Compound. Just as he left the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha No appeared before him.

"Young Master, we couldn't uncover any information about those Cloud Ninjas' identities."

After Liu Feng returned earlier, he had asked Uchiha No to investigate the identities of those Cloud Ninjas.

"If you can't find anything, forget it. Stop investigating. Continuing may bring trouble."

Although Liu Feng was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to invite it either. Still, he was now seventy percent certain that those Cloud Ninjas were not genuine Cloud Ninjas.

Although they wore Kumogakure forehead protectors, they had not displayed any of the signature abilities of Cloud Ninjas from beginning to end.

Cloud Ninjas excelled at swordsmanship, Nintaijutsu, and Lightning Style, yet Liu Feng had not seen them use a single one.

When he arrived at the Uzumaki Clan Compound, Liu Feng, as the Uzumaki clan's great benefactor, was naturally not stopped.

"Liu Feng, what brings you here? By the way, Kushina went to your place, right?" Uzumaki Akira asked Liu Feng.

"I came because of Kushina. She was kidnapped earlier, but I dealt with it."

"What?"

Uzumaki Akira stood up, Chakra surging around him. Kushina was his only precious daughter. If anything happened to her, he feared he would go mad.

"Who did it?" Killing intent filled Uzumaki Akira's face.

Looks like he's completely devoted to his daughter, Liu Feng muttered inwardly.

"Cloud Ninjas. On the surface, it was the Cloud Ninjas, but I suspect Danzo's people may have impersonated them."

"Are you sure Danzo's people impersonated the Cloud Ninjas?"

Uzumaki Akira gritted his teeth.

"I'm not sure. If I were sure, I wouldn't be guessing. Still, Danzo shouldn't have targeted Kushina for no reason."

Although Liu Feng suspected Danzo, kidnapping Kushina did not seem to offer Danzo any benefits.

"It wasn't for no reason. Danzo previously wanted Kushina to join the Root Organization." Uzumaki Akira slammed his palm onto the table in anger.

"Danzo wanted Kushina to join the Root Organization? Why?" This news truly shocked Liu Feng.

"You know what a Jinchuriki is, right?"

After calming the anger in his heart, Uzumaki Akira asked Liu Feng.

"Of course. I count as half a Jinchuriki now."

Although Liu Feng did not have a Tailed Beast inside him, he possessed the Nine-Tails Chakra. Like the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Liu Feng could also draw upon the Nine-Tails Chakra to undergo Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.

Partial Tailed Beast Transformation meant that a cloak of Tailed Beast Chakra appeared over the body. Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, on the other hand, meant fully turning into a Tailed Beast and wielding all of its power. However, that required an actual Tailed Beast to reside within one's body.

Chapter 27

Uzumaki Akira was greatly startled by Liu Feng's claim that he also counted as half a Jinchuriki, but he did not question Liu Feng. He did not intend to ask about matters involving secrets.

"Since you know what a Jinchuriki is, this will be easier to explain. The Third Hokage actually wants Kushina to become the next generation's Jinchuriki."

At this moment, obvious anger showed on Uzumaki Akira's face. Deep down, he did not want Kushina to become some so-called Jinchuriki.

What was a Jinchuriki? To put it bluntly, it was a War Weapon. Naturally, Uzumaki Akira did not want his daughter to become a War Weapon, nor did he want her to suffer the strange looks of others.

"So Danzo learned that Kushina was going to become a Jinchuriki and wanted her to join the Root Organization?"

Liu Feng had guessed as much.

"That's right. He wanted Kushina to join the Root Organization, but I refused him. The Third Hokage refused him as well."

Liu Feng nodded. It now seemed ninety percent likely that Danzo was behind the people who had kidnapped Kushina this time.

As for why they impersonated Cloud Ninjas, it was probably because they feared being exposed. If someone discovered them, they could make the Cloud Ninjas take the blame.

If no one discovered them and they successfully kidnapped Kushina, the Root Organization would likely brainwash and control her. Not only might they gain a Jinchuriki, they would also have a chance to control the Uzumaki clan.
