Hiruko's Joy Turns to Sorrow

It swallowed all the potato chips in one gulp and then gently jumped off.

He had originally planned to steal a moment from his busy schedule and watch the show here.

However, a sudden message from Root made him change his mind.

"Next, you guys keep working hard... I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!" Smiling, she stepped forward and, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of countless girls, patted the heads of Ino, Hinata, and Amaru.

He gave Shikamaru a meaningful look.

He disappeared from the Ninja Academy.

"What are you looking at?" Ino blushed and waved her small fist at the others.

Amaru and Hinata also blushed slightly.

The Brother Rikuto treated her like a fierce tiger, and their intimate actions were so inappropriate.

This made them all feel a little shy.

"Alright, everyone..."

At this time.

Teacher Iruka stepped forward.

He clapped his hands, signaling the others to look over.

With a serious expression, he said to his students in a deep voice, "Now you know what it means to have someone even better than you, right?"

"However, breaking through the Rashomon that Rikuto has summoned is too early for you all, so let's give up!"

"Damn it, I'm not giving up!"

A loud shout arose, causing the fishy-smelling creature to resist.

Naruto charged headlong into the Rashomon, shouting, "It's just a broken iron gate... I refuse to believe I can't do it!"

Seeing everyone perform one after another, even if they couldn't break the Rashomon, their performances were all outstanding.

He felt resentful that he could do nothing about it.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he couldn't help but rush out, shouting, "I, Naruto Uzumaki, am going to be the Hokage!"

"Bang!"

He swung his fist.

It slammed fiercely into the iron wall in front of it.

"Click..."

In the blink of an eye.

The sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Naruto blinked, his face freezing...

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts so much..."

The next moment--

His eyes were brimming with tears.

Clutching her swollen, red fist, she jumped around there.

"Honestly, it's just him showing off!"

Iruka covered his head.

I thought this kid might have some unexpected talent.

As a result, he became stubborn and recklessly rushed forward.

"Ino- kun, you know Medical Ninjutsu, right?" Iruka looked at Ino with a hint of helplessness. "Could you please treat him?"

"No problem, Iruka-sensei!"

Chapter 233 The Hiruko

Now--

Within the dark, shady base.

"You said two members of Root were kidnapped?"

Rikuto, who had just returned, frowned as he looked at Aburame Ryoma in front of him.

Such a trivial matter doesn't need to be reported to him at all, does it?

"Yes, Rikuto..."

Aburame Ryoma nodded solemnly, "The key is that you've granted them all Kekkei Genkai; one possesses Steel Release, and another possesses Storm Release..."

Most importantly.

These are the root members.

It bears the Flying Thunder God Mark left by this great man.

He can instantly get there using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically reported this to the Rikuto.

"So they're Kekkei Genkai?"

Rikuto raised an eyebrow.

It was originally done to test the effects of artificial Devil Fruit.

It is true that several Root members ate Devil Fruit and obtained corresponding Kekkei Genkai.

This also made them the elite within the Root.

But the Rikuto didn't seem to care much.

He personally erased the memories of all these core members.

No one could extract any information about him or the artificial Devil Fruit from him through torture.

"Rikuto, we have confirmed that the one who captured them is most likely Konoha, an S-rank missing-nin from Hiruko!"

Standing to the side Shimura Danzō on his cane and said in a deep voice, "He once secretly captured ninjas from the village to develop Forbidden Techniques, a kind of Chimera Technique that could steal the Kekkei Genkai of others... But it was quickly discovered by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who specifically sent the 'Sannin' to capture him, but that guy escaped and became missing-nin!"

"Hiruko?"

Rikuto suddenly realized, "The Chimera Technique?"

He accepted the photograph handed to Shimura Danzō.

The photo shows a handsome man with white hair.

He chuckled softly, "In that case, I'll go make the trip!"

These members.

He had left behind the Flying Thunder God Mark.

It cannot be erased by ordinary means.

"Perfect timing! I was just thinking about how to join the Akatsuki!"

That brings us to this.

Rikuto's lips curled up slightly.

Regarding the Akatsuki's collection of Ninjutsu and Secret Techniques, as well as that mysterious Demonic Statue of the Outer Path...

He was still very interested.

And of course, there's that... angel!

Chimera Technique, Five Kekkei Genkai, Immortality...

This online persona is really good.

As an S-rank missing-nin ninja, Hiruko also possesses considerable strength.

It's unlikely that the Akatsuki wouldn't be tempted.

"Brush -"

In an instant.

Rikuto sensed the location of the Flying Thunder God's coordinates.

Without hesitation, he vanished from the base.

Now.

The Land of Forests.

This is an inconspicuous little country.

It borders the Land of Tea but does not directly border Konoha, and its land area is relatively small.

Deep within a rocky, chaotic area.

Inside a dark mountain cave.

"Hehehe, Qi Ying is really good..."

A small, thin figure with long white hair, her body wrapped in bandages so her face was obscured, exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected that there would be ninjas skilled in Storm Release and Steel Release within 'Root'!"

"I was originally planning to go to the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth to capture them!"

In front of him.

Several disheveled figures, their Chakra sealed, were imprisoned in different iron cages.

They were all Kekkei Genkai ninjas captured by Hiruko.

"Storm Release, Steel Release, Dark Release, Swift Release..."

Gazing at these ninjas with Kekkei Genkai, Hiruko with fervor as he chuckled maliciously, "Just one more Kekkei Genkai is needed for me to gather all five. With the Chimera Technique, I can merge you all with me, achieving true immortality!"

"Brush!"

Without any warning.

The prisoner holding the Storm Release ninja

Suddenly, a figure appeared. "Too bad, you don't have a chance!"

"Who goes there!?" Hiruko changed.

His gaze was fixed on the prison that had suddenly appeared.

"So you're Hiruko?" Rikuto looked at the man covered in bandages, who looked vastly different from his photograph, and said calmly, "You actually managed to get yourself into this state!"

As he spoke.

Under Hiruko's sharply recoiled gaze.

He strangely pierced through the indestructible arc of the spell-enhanced prison.

He walked straight out.

Who are you?

Hiruko was filled with vigilance.

Although he has not yet truly merged with those Kekkei Genkai ninjas.

However, by absorbing their Chakra through a special method and combining it with the Chimera Technique, he was able to indirectly possess four Kekkei Genkai in a short period of time.

"I've obtained all of them: Storm Release, Steel Release, Dark Release, Swift Release...!"

Rikuto sized up the four Kekkei Genkai ninjas, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot as he looked at the utterly horrified Hiruko: "I think... you really want these eyes, don't you?"

"Sharingan? How do you have the Sharingan of the Uchiha?"

Hiruko utterly shocked.

Staring at Rikuto in disbelief, he exclaimed, "Wasn't the Uchiha Clan reduced to just the Uchiha Itachi and I?"
