Chapter 22: Cursed Chakra Mode
"It's a pity that this child doesn't seem to have inherited Shen Er's excellent hobbies."
Tsunade said it was a pity, then looked at Orochimaru and asked again.
"How's the border lately?"
The annihilation of the Uzumaki clan undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for Konoha, and since the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, the entire ninja world has been in turmoil.
No one knows when the Second Shinobi World War will begin.
"An unusual calm; other countries are quiet after the incident with the Uzumaki clan."
When the situation at the border was mentioned, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile quickly vanished, and he shook his head with a serious expression.
"However, I think the situation in the ninja world will become more and more chaotic, and the conflict between Sunagakure and Iwagakure and us will break out sooner or later."
Orochimaru's words made sense. Compared to Sunagakure, who ate sand all day, and Iwagakure, who gnawed on rocks, Konoha occupied the most fertile land.
They lived a hard life, and when cornered, they not only had the audacity to steal from Konoha, they were incredibly bold.
As for the Land of Rain, none of the three mentioned it. As the border area between the three countries and a buffer zone between wars, the Land of Rain was destined for a tragic fate.
Even though the Land of Rain has ninjas with titles like "demigods," they are still no match for the sheer size of the Five Great Nations.
"I hope this war comes later; I don't want those little guys to get into the meat grinder of war prematurely."
The images of Nawaki and Fushiko appeared in Tsunade's mind.
"I believe the village won't come to this. Trust the old man," Jiraiya said, raising an eyebrow.
"Instead of talking about these heavy topics, let's talk about something more interesting, like what promising talents are in the ninja academy."
Orochimaru and Tsunade exchanged a smile.
"What do you mean? Have you discovered some exceptionally talented individuals among them?"
Orochimaru then recounted all of Fushiko's battle records.
"What?!" Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise.
He had previously thought Fu Heiyao was just an ordinary genius, but he never expected him to go this far.
How could a gambling addict like Fuheshchen have such a fine son?!
"To be able to independently develop ninjutsu at such a young age, and even master that Lightning Release chakra mode, is that for real!?"
Fukuyo's record was so dazzling that Jiraiya couldn't believe it at first.
As for why Fukuko was able to master the Cloud Village's exclusive Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it was naturally a family tradition.
This incident was quite famous at the time, but it was only known to the upper echelons.
During that mission, Fukuro Jinji risked his life to go deep into the border of Kumogakure to provide support. Not only did he obtain a fragment of a Lightning Release chakra scroll, but he was also pursued by the Uchiha girl in the rescued team.
This made Jiraiya envious at the time, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That ninjutsu was specially developed by him and given to Kushina. The little girl was so touched at the time."
Orochimaru laughed as he vividly described what he had seen.
Jiraiya nearly choked on his drink upon hearing this, coughing incessantly.
"Masaka, such a young child actually..."
"It's still better than some people in their twenties who just drink silently." Orochimaru's cold words pierced Jiraiya's heart, making him blush and turn pale in turns.
Tsunade didn't dwell on these things; in her opinion, Fukuyo was a decent person.
Although he has half Uchiha blood, he is still considered to have pure Uchiha lineage.
Judging from Orochimaru's words, he's giving away A-rank ninjutsu without a seal, so Kushina won't suffer any loss by following him.
There might be some twists and turns after Kushina becomes a Jinchūriki.
Thinking of this, Tsunade gulped down more sake, hoping that she wouldn't have to think about such complicated things when she was drunk.
But the more Tsunade drank, the more worried she became, and she thought of Nawaki again.
"Speaking of which, Nawaki will be graduating in two years, and the war will start in the next two years. Orochimaru, what are you planning to do?"
"The old man has assigned me quite a few tasks, and guiding a Jonin will be a challenge. I'll take care of him on my own when the time comes."
Orochimaru smiled and shook his head when he saw Tsunade's worried expression.
............
Two years have passed quietly, like sand slipping through your fingers.
Over the past two years, the undercurrents that were originally hidden beneath the ninja world have gradually come to the surface.
Both the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village have successively stationed troops on the border, as if they are preparing for war at any time.
Having lost the Land of Whirlpools, Konoha was completely clueless about the situation in Kirigakure and was extremely busy and overwhelmed.
It seems that Iwagakure and Sunagakure have reached some kind of agreement, and both have sent ninjas to the Land of Rain.
The already perceptive Konoha noticed the changes in the Land of Rain and dispatched ninjas one after another.
The entire Land of Rain, like a sieve, became a battleground for the power struggles between the three great nations.
It seems that only one trigger is needed for a devastating ninja war to break out.
Against the backdrop of an impending war, countless unseen and intangible negative emotions have emerged.
Because people in the ninja world are generally strong in both mind and body, these negative emotions are particularly powerful.
Negative emotions thus quietly settle in some corner of the world.
Over a long period of time, most negative emotions will dissipate and be assimilated by natural energy.
A small number of stubborn obsessions will transform into demons that wreak havoc on the world.
This situation is not uncommon in the ninja world. In the past, the Uzumaki clan would seal demons all over the world.
But this year is different. The vortex clan was wiped out, and no one is left to clean up the "excrement" of these negative emotions.
What's even stranger is that this vortex of negative emotions didn't quietly settle down and wait for natural forces to assimilate it.
They were no longer as quiet as before; instead, they began to operate using a special mechanism that was completely different from that of the ninja world.
Konoha Village
Inside a detached three-story villa on the central street.
"Finally finished!"
Fu Heiyao sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and opened his eyes after a moment.
Unlike his usual black eyes, Fu Heiyao's eyes were now bursting with a blood-red hue.
Black, special runes appeared on its face.
His aura was no longer "peaceful" as before, but had become extremely aggressive.
The chakra carried a sinister chill of extreme Yin Release, and also exuded a bloody stench from who-knows-where, making one's hair stand on end.
Fu Heiyao didn't waste a moment and instantly appeared in the sealed space.
Fu Heiyao immediately began a daily lottery, using the power of the seal to squeeze Su Nuo.
Sukuna, who was feigning sleep, noticed that her power was being drained, but she didn't pay any attention to it.
It's just a drop in the ocean. Since coming to this world, Su Nuo has felt that he has an inexhaustible supply of magical power to replenish himself every moment.
In recent years, this replenishment has been more like a massive flood, and Sukuna's current total spell power is already twice what it used to be.
However, Su Nuo still opened his eyes. There was nothing else to do but want to see how pathetic this brat would look later.
However, when Su Nu saw the lines on Fu Heiyao's face, his expression immediately became interesting.
"You brat, you actually did it!"
"Regarding the battle memories of Mikuriya Kokai, good things come in pairs."
Fu Heiyao swallowed the blood-red curse energy ball into his stomach in one gulp, marveling at how many good things Su Nuo had.
However, we can't just look at isolated cases. In the past two years, Fu Heiyao has been consistently unlucky in terms of getting free Su Nuo every day.
It's normal to have a bad face; it's abnormal to get good stock.
The gains from combat memories and knowledge were pitifully small; the vast majority of the gains were merely a meager amount of magical power.
However, little by little, Fukuyo's current chakra level is as high as three katakana.
Don't underestimate the value of a single chakra; after all, Kakashi is an elite Jonin.
The reason why Kakashi often suffers from kidney deficiency in the story is that he is not of Uchiha blood and forcibly activates the Sharingan, constantly consuming chakra to maintain it. Who can withstand that?
If you really think about it, Kakashi's chakra reserves are actually quite substantial.
This time, Su Nuo didn't resort to his daily sarcasm and sharp tongue.
He stared at Fu Heiyao as if he were seeing him in a new light. After a long while, Su Nuo silently closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Fu Heiyao.
Fu Heiyao, who was ignored, was not annoyed. He had already achieved his goal and continued to digest Su Nuo's memories of using Mi Chuzi.
A moment later, Fu Heiyao's understanding of the slashing technique reached a new level.
"After two years, I finally did it!"
Having escaped the sealed space, Fuko felt a surge of joy as he sensed the initial integration of cursed chakra within his body.
For the first time, Fukuyo experienced his own power in Cursed Chakra Mode so clearly.
"Because of the addition of cursed power, the chakra strength has at least doubled, and the cursed power chakra seems to be able to better utilize the Ten Shadow Technique and the abilities of the cook."
Fukuyo attempted to activate Mikuriya using his cursed chakra.
Fu Heiyao raised his finger, and an invisible slash immediately responded to his will, instantly striking the dummy dozens of meters away.
