Mysterious Peacock Method? Natsuhiboshi and Fire Fly Star

"Girlfriend?"

Karin's eyes widened.

She stared at Rikuto in disbelief.

I never imagined that he already had a "young girlfriend".

Furthermore, does "those" mean more than one?

She clenched her fists and huffed, "As expected, Rikuto is a heartless womanizer!"

"Little girl, don't meddle in adults' affairs..."

Rikuto tapped her head in an annoyed tone.

Easily suppressing Karin, who was baring her teeth Karin and trying to pounce on her, he smiled at Tsunade and said, "Going back won't hurt, but..."

So much time has passed.

I'll go back for a short vacation and see Ino, and Tenten others.

It's alright, I just really miss them.

Yes, especially the beautiful and gentle Sister Kurenai.

However, he couldn't just let the bet he had worked so hard to win go to waste.

Write this down!

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat.

He interrupted without blushing or panting.

"Alright!" Rikuto chuckled.

He'll be charging interest then.

The two of them were speaking with double meanings and acting mysteriously.

Karin and Shizune exchanged bewildered glances.

I always felt there was some unspeakable secret between the two of them.

Chapter 103 The Mysterious Peacock Method? Natsuhiboshi and Fire Fly Star

Goodbye, Lady Tsunade Sister Shizune!!!

"Karin, Rikuto, take care!"

"Rikuto, remember to take good care of Karin!"

"Knew!"

"Goodbye!"

Inside the hotel.

The four of them finished their lunch.

Karin, who had already packed her things, was eager to go home.

He couldn't wait to say goodbye to Tsunade and Shizune by pulling Rikuto along.

As for the debt Jiraiya owed...

"Whoosh..."

On the rooftop.

A Wood Release: Helicopter, barely visible and difficult to discern, sat there.

The Himawari -shaped flowers are accompanied by a powerful gust of wind.

With Tsunade and Shizune watching, the plane carrying Rikuto and Karin flew straight towards Konoha.

As Rikuto became more and more proficient in mastering the Wood Release Ninjutsu pioneered by the First Hokage, he was able to combine the Four-Pillar House Technique with Wood Release: Helicopter.

No longer do we have to leave open vents like before, letting the strong winds rush in.

Therefore, modern Wood Release: Helicopter have glass windows.

"Wow! You had such a powerful move hidden away, Rikuto..."

Through the window.

Looking at the land that kept rushing past.

Karin was incredibly excited and filled with anticipation.

Especially inside the spacious Wood Release: Helicopter, which resembles a room.

Just the thought of it, with only her and Rikuto there, made her a little excited.

Does this count as a date?

Karin glanced at Rikuto furtively, her face flushed as she thought to herself.

"Our purpose in traveling, besides exploring the world and broadening our horizons, is to enrich ourselves and develop our minds, bodies, and abilities..."

Rikuto lay there lazily, squinting his eyes, and said, "Ability that's too convenient can sometimes make people slack off in their cultivation!"

Of course, for him now.

After two years of hellish training, I have accumulated enough knowledge and skills.

If he didn't have to accompany Tsunade and the others, he wouldn't mind using his ability to travel.

"Yeah?"

Hearing Rikuto say this, Karin seemed to be deep in thought.

"It's almost noon, take a good nap first... No need to rush, we should arrive tomorrow morning!"

Rikuto yawned there.

To avoid bird strikes, and not wanting to monitor the situation constantly, he slightly reduced the helicopter's speed.

The Land of Hot Water is adjacent to the Land of Fire, while Konoha is located in the center of the Land of Fire.

It will take about ten hours to fly back.

"Hmph, those despicable Rikuto..."

Seeing Rikuto resting with his hands behind his head and his eyes closed, Karin couldn't help but pout.

But gazing at that perfect profile, she couldn't help but be momentarily lost in thought, murmuring, "This guy... he's really handsome!"

After a moment, I realized what was happening.

She hurriedly wiped the glistening tears from the corners of her mouth, afraid that Rikuto would see them.

But Rikuto, who was not yet fully asleep, did not open his eyes.

He's too handsome, there's nothing he can do about it.

"Wait, Rikuto..."

I don't know how much time passed.

In a daze, Rikuto was awakened by Karin.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked to the far right where Karin was pointing. "Look there!"

"Um?"

Rikuto raised an eyebrow.

Somewhat surprised, he looked at the purple figure flying low in the distance. "Not a bird, but a person?"

Kakkō flickered, and thick smoke billowed.

Occasionally, bursts of sound could be heard.

It was clearly Explosive Tag that were constantly detonating.

The other side, flying at low altitude, constantly evaded enemy attacks.

"A battle is taking place there!"

Karin, Hand Seals there and using Mind's Eye of the Kagura to sense things, was filled with envy. "Yes, I can sense it. The other person's Chakra is very special... They can even fly, that's amazing!"

"Using Chakra activation, mimicking wings to fly..."

He stroked his chin and said, "It's indeed a very interesting Ninjutsu!"

"However, I remember that only the Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears has this technique, it's called something like the Mysterious Peacock Method!"

In an instant.

Rikuto became interested.

He was directly piloting the Wood Release: Helicopter.

It changed direction and flew towards the distant battlefield.

"Boom... Boom..."

In the air.

The figure with purple Chakra wings on its back.

They dodged the constant barrage of Shuriken and the endless Senbon.

Suddenly, it swooped down from mid-air, shooting out several Kunai like lightning.

They forced the enemy to retreat.

He landed on the ground.

His hands Hand Seals there.

"The Mysterious Peacock Method: Peacock Feathers Transform into Beasts!"

"Roar--"

A massive amount of purple Chakra surged forth like a tornado.

It materialized into a gigantic Chakra beast, roaring out from behind him.

They fiercely attacked those wandering ninjas who weren't even wearing Forehead Protector and whose affiliation was unknown.

"Ahhh..."

"Boom... Boom..."

Devastating.

All the enemies were wiped out.

The purple Chakra behind him dissipated.

The figure wearing a gas mask suddenly coughed violently.

"Fire Fly Star!"

At this time.

In mid-air, another figure with purple Chakra wings flew over.

They landed next to the other person.

He quickly helped the other person up, filled with worry.

"Fire Fly Star, the Chakra of 'Star' is corroding my body more and more severely. I'm afraid I'm about to die!" He took off his gas mask, revealing a pale-faced young man.

The figure who had just helped the other person also removed their gas mask.

It turned out to be a pretty young woman with long, purplish-red hair.

"No, there must be a way..."

The woman was filled with worry, but her eyes revealed sadness.

Since they began practicing the Mysterious Peacock Method using "Star," their companions have been unable to withstand the activation of the Star Chakra and have died one after another in agony.

Now, is it her husband's turn?
