North Sea Base.
Inside the training room, electric lights flashed and Chidori sang.
"Huff... Huff... Still not quite there, damn it!" Sasuke angrily clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground.
Condensing lightning into a straight line several meters long is extremely difficult, far beyond his capabilities.
Whenever he recalls the scene where he exerted all his strength to unleash Chidori only to be humiliated by Itachi's casual grab of his wrist, he feels a surge of anger, realizing that he is still growing too slowly.
All of this was clearly seen by Dou, who was hiding in the shadows.
Is it a pocket?
" The Sharingan is incredibly sharp. I was being very careful, but you still managed to spot me."
Kabuto Earth Flow, smiling, and said, "I have some information about Akatsuki that I believe will interest you."
"What intelligence?"
" The Akatsuki is planning to attack Konoha to seize the last Tailed Beast; their target is..."
"It's Naruto, isn't it?"
"Correct answer. As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki is Akatsuki's primary target, Five Great Shinobi Villages have decided to join forces to fight Akatsuki."
If you want to take revenge on Itachi, you'd better improve your strength quickly.
"Understood."
A moment later, electric lights flashed again in the meditation room, the sound of birdsong even more piercing than usual.
At this time, Naruto Uzumaki training in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku.
Naruto his impulsive personality, couldn't calm down at all, so he couldn't sense the Natural Energy for a while. Sage Fukasaku.
"He's still a bit too young. The old man says he's Child of Prophecy; perhaps a miracle will happen."
"Dinner's ready!!" Sage Shima's shouts echoed from afar.
" Naruto, take a break first, then we'll eat."
"Ugh... another insect feast?" Naruto asked with a wry face.
"As frogs, of course we eat insects. Of course, we also eat Katsuyu occasionally for a change of pace."
"Ugh... I want to go back to the village. I miss everyone so much."
"No, Jiraiya told us that Akatsuki is hunting down Tailed Beast everywhere, and you are their target. If you can't master Sage Mode, you won't be able to help even if you go back."
So you should think about how to calm your mind and cultivate yourself.
"Waaah... what do I have to do?!"
There's no other way but to rely on your own understanding.
Throughout history, many people have come to Mount Myōboku to cultivate the Sage Mode, but most of them turned into stone Toad, and very few succeeded.
It requires great perseverance, high comprehension, and abundant Chakra.
Naruto has only met the last condition; the others still need time to mature, but his enemies are not giving him that time to grow.
Aoki Tsuki stayed in the Land of Hot Water for a while before returning to Amegakure.
During this time, he sealed his knowledge of Senjutsu Mode cultivation into ' Momoko's' body using Chakra. The inheritance will be triggered when she grows up and begins to cultivate.
"What's wrong? You're acting suspiciously," Eiko, the mother, asked, her face full of doubt.
"Mom, I'm going to tell you a secret, but you have to promise to keep it a secret and not tell anyone."
What secret?
You have a granddaughter, her name is Momoko.
Eiko was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, her face filled with worry. "Really? Does it look like you?"
Aoki Tsuki and Kikuno Momo spend little time together, how could an elderly mother not worry?
"This child resembles her mother overall, but her eyes are like mine."
"That's good." Eiko breathed a sigh of relief.
Aoki Tsuki shared the good news with his mother to cheer her up. Although he wasn't the original owner of the body, he had still managed to complete the family relay.
In the afternoon, I sat by the window watching the rain.
While pondering how to accelerate his body's transformation into an immortal being, he was now able to absorb all the Natural Energy within the Amegakure area in one go.
The Nine-Tails went even further. It is said that during the battle at the Valley of the End, it converted all the Natural Energy of the earth into Chakra for Naruto's use. This likely refers to an area around the Valley of the End, rather than the entire Shinobi World.
Even the Ten-Tails needs to devour everything in a planet over many years to drain its Natural Energy.
Tailed Beast are the embodiment of Chakra, created by the Sage of Six Paths using Yin-Yang Release. It's not surprising that they can absorb Natural Energy and convert it into Chakra.
"Should I also elementalize my body? Maybe that would help me speed up the process."
The Hozuki Clan can hydrate their bodies through a secret technique, which may involve Nature Transformation of Chakra and deep cellular fusion.
This is worth learning from.
"It's just a combination of water-style Chakra and physical energy."
Speaking of cells, Orochimaru really knows them inside and out. Aoki Tsuki extended a finger and concentrated water-style Chakra in his right index finger.
Time passed second by second, and the index finger gradually softened, with the bones inside becoming bent.
Water-style Chakra possesses the properties of water.
When physical energy and water-attribute Chakra combine, the body acquires fluid-like characteristics, which is a reverse manipulation of Chakra.
When the Chakra was withdrawn, the finger bounced back, like a rubber doll.
I tried changing my palm towards the direction of water transformation, but it didn't increase the process of immortalization at all; it had absolutely no effect. This path is a dead end.
Others have used similar ideas; Kakuzu's " Earth Spear " combines earth-style Chakra with physical energy to harden his body and achieve super-strong defense.
There are quite a few clever people in the Shinobi World; perhaps someone will have a flash of inspiration and develop a secret technique.
Before she knew it, the day had passed, and Aoki Tsuki, still clueless, went to sleep early.
He could only sleep peacefully in the village, with that tireless guy Pain watching over it, which gave him complete peace of mind.
"Brother Nagato, you've worked hard. I'm going to sleep now."
Huff... huff...
Huff... huff...
He woke up in the middle of the night and vaguely felt someone standing next to his bed, which startled him and made him break out in a cold sweat.
So many years have passed. The last time was when Hanzō was still alive, Konan stood by his bedside staring at him like this.
"You scared me to death! What were you doing staring at me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"I was bored and wanted to see you."
"Huh...? You've been looking at me for over ten years and you're still not tired of it? I know I'm handsome and have a lot of charm with women, but that's not my fault."
I didn't want it to be like this either. Do you know how I've lived all these years?
"Tell me about it..."
"I want to share my good qualities with everyone, so that more people can benefit from me."
Konan sneered, "Yue, you're such a shameless person. Only you could make lust sound so noble."
"That's true heroism," Aoki Tsuki replied proudly.
Honest people won't understand why most women like blond-haired guys, even though they look trashy and low-class.
Women are often powerless against them, falling deeply in love and unable to extricate themselves; the secret lies in sexual tension.
It was precisely by grasping this point that Rogue Yue was able to win the favor of women.
"Don't do that again. I don't like sharing."
Aoki Tsuki immediately sat up straight and swore to the heavens, "Got it! I was just joking with you. I told you last time, didn't I? I've been abstaining from sex for a long time."
"Really? I heard you're going to take on ten! I've heard about your abilities."
"This... is nothing but wild talk, it shouldn't be taken seriously. Maybe it would have worked before, but now I'm over thirty, you know."
Unless he uses Senjutsu Chakra to activate it, he simply cannot do it with his original physical constitution.
"Hmph, so there's a time when you admit you can't do it."
"How could I dare lie to you, my Lady Angel? Hurry up, or I'll be too old to do so."
"Sigh! You're still as irreverent as ever, I just can't do anything with you."
Konan sighed, turned and walked towards the door, saying softly, "Wait for me a moment."
"Ah...?!"
Aoki Tsuki thought he had misheard, so he quickly used his mental energy to sense it carefully. When he 'heard' the sound of running water coming from the bathroom shower, he realized that he had misheard.
He was instantly overjoyed; the happiness came so suddenly that he wasn't mentally prepared.
He hurriedly remade the bed and took out a set of quilts that he had treasured for a long time to show his sincerity.
It rains six days a week in Amegakure, and the sun is never seen. A clean and tidy quilt is a treasure that many families keep at the bottom of their trunks.
It's only brought out when entertaining the most important guests.
Aoki Tsuki didn't even dare turn on the lights, afraid of scaring the duck he was about to eat away; he wanted to create a safe and secluded environment.
Tick-tock... tick-tock...
The second hand steadily spun round and round.
He had never felt time drag on so long, and he felt unusually nervous. Konan Mimoto were completely different people.
He was very relaxed when he was with Sister Mimoto, playing the role of the taker, and she gave him tolerance.
Konan is about the same age as him, and it feels like they're in love.
Don't laugh at him. You can't discriminate against him just because he's a pervert. He can date too.
"What's wrong with me? My palms are sweating from nervousness. How pathetic of me."
Aoki Tsuki began to mentally prepare herself, treating it like a casual chat with an old friend, and telling herself not to feel pressured.
On the other hand, Konan's situation wasn't much better; she and Aoki Tsuki were not on the same level when it came to relationships.
My first love was Yahiko, but it ended before it even officially started, so my experience with him is practically zero.
I took a full hour-long shower, scrubbing my skin until it was red and irritated. I wanted to back out, grab the tub, and run away, but then I felt I had already said what I wanted and couldn't let them down.
The inner turmoil I felt was indescribable.
" Konan... Konan, how could you be so impulsive as to say such things? How could you do this to Yahiko?"
"No, Yahiko wanted me to live a good life; that was his original intention in risking his life to save me."
" Pain, what should I do? Will you blame me?"
" Nagato, isn't this a betrayal of our friendship? You must be very upset."
"Damn you, Yue! It's all your fault! You're the one who caused all this!"
As a ninja, his mental fortitude far surpassed that of ordinary people. After a period of internal struggle, he ultimately overcame the obstacles.
When Konan returned to her room, she heard snoring.
"No way, that bastard fell asleep again? Has a lot of time passed?"
I glanced at the clock on the wall; it had only been two hours.
"I can't let this go. I finally convinced myself, but next time it will only be more difficult. Don't underestimate my Ninja Way."
A ninja is someone who overcomes numerous difficulties and resolutely carries out their mission. No matter what opponent they face, they must not back down or be afraid.
With that thought in mind, Konan steeled herself, tore off her black robe with red clouds, and crawled into bed.
This is destined to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
The Azure Dragon possesses a powerful Sage Body; even when its physical form is defeated, it can activate an enhancement mode, making its combat power off the charts.
The White Tiger possesses an indomitable will, and in critical moments, it can even transform its body into paper, enveloping its enemy and suffocating them to death.
Most importantly, she can fly and hover in mid-air.
Such a commotion naturally couldn't be kept quiet, and Eiko, the mother, was awakened.
" Little Tsuki is really something. She's a mother herself, yet she still brings strangers home. I'll have to have a serious talk with her tomorrow; it's outrageous."
Time passed slowly, the night quickly came to an end, and dawn broke.
Konan's biological clock has been ingrained for years, causing her to wake up at a certain time every night. This leads to sleep deprivation and a foggy mind. With so many things to do each day, she can only struggle to get up.
"Wow... that's too ruthless. Is this person a dog? A psychopath."
She had always thought that Aoki Tsuki was the most normal person in Akatsuki, but it turns out she was overthinking it.
This person is only outwardly normal; don't expect to find a normal person within the Akatsuki.
Fortunately, Xiao's robe had a high collar that covered his neck; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to show his face, not to mention his body, which was covered in bite marks.
Of course, it's not without its advantages.
She's really good at it; her little tongue is incredibly flexible, and just thinking about it makes her tremble all over.
Despite her injuries, Konan rushed off to work without even having breakfast; she is still the acting village chief.
I thought that not getting enough rest would affect my work, but the opposite was true. My work efficiency was several times higher than usual, and I finished the day's work much earlier.
When I looked in the mirror, I found that my complexion was surprisingly good, with a rosy and radiant glow.
"No wonder everyone says women in love have beautiful skin; it's true!"
Knock knock knock...
"Please come in."
" Konan, I've brought you your food. It's wontons made by my mother. Please try them."
"Yes, that's thoughtful."
Konan nodded slightly, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She said softly, "Just call me by my name when we're not alone in the future."
"That won't do. When we're at work, we use titles. You're my superior, and I'm your subordinate. We can't be disrespectful."
"You've not only committed treason, you've also taken advantage of others."
"Um... let's not talk about what happened at night during the day. You're the acting village chief now, and I'm the advisor. We need to keep our distance."
"Wait until nightfall, when you're a woman and I'm a man, then we can talk about feelings."
"They've divided it quite clearly, haven't they?"
"It's all for the village. Um... you eat first, I'm going to cultivate." Aoki Tsuki said goodbye and turned to leave.
"Hmph, they slipped away so quickly."
Konan muttered to herself, then buried her head in her wontons and found they actually tasted quite good. "Is this what my mother-in-law calls cooking?"
She used to be the one delivering meals to Nagato, so it felt a little strange to have someone else deliver meals to her now, but it was actually quite nice.
"Wait, I was wondering what happened, Nagato hasn't eaten yet, I forgot about him!"
I ate a couple of bites, then, feeling incredibly guilty, I repackaged the wontons and sent them to Nagato. That made me feel a little better.
