Chapter 21: Su Nuo: You'll regret this!
Fu Heiyao remained expressionless and calmly rejected Su Nuo's first suggestion without malice.
Su Nuo stared at Fu Heiyao, as if trying to find a flaw in his lack of facial emotions.
"Fu Heiyao, you'll regret this!"
After a long while, Su Nuo frowned, his expression stiffened for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said.
He couldn't keep up the act any longer; he was furious and wished he could tear Fu Heiyao to pieces.
But he couldn't do it.
He had intended to make a deal when Fu Heiyao needed it most, but Fu Heiyao still refused.
Su Nuo knew that Fu Heiyao would most likely refuse, but he was still furious when he heard it.
This damned seal kept Su Nuo's emotions very stable; he was furious all the time!
"Recognize your true identity, Sukuna. I am the master of the seal."
Fu Heiyao raised an eyebrow and said.
"You can't do this alone. You need me, Fu Heiyao!"
Su Nuo's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Fu Heiyao.
"I don't need it!" Fu Heiyao stared at Su Nuo, speaking each word clearly, "Don't presume to take matters into your own hands over mere food. You've crossed the line, Su Nuo!"
Before the sealed gate, Fu Heiyao, amidst Su Nuo's murderous intent that wished to devour him alive, extracted his curse power.
A wisp of unpurified crimson curse power appeared before Fu Heiyao, which he swallowed whole.
Then Fukuyo mobilized his chakra to surround this trace of cursed power, attempting to make the cursed power attach to his chakra.
The result was exactly the same as before. The curse power was like a stubborn rock, showing no intention of reacting to the chakra, but was simply being carried away by it.
Just as Su Nuo said, the precision required for even the initial combination of the two energies is ridiculously high.
One can imagine how difficult it would be to fuse curse power and chakra into a completely new force.
Fu Heiyao learned through the sealed gate that the two powers had something in common and could even transform into each other.
But knowing something doesn't mean you can do it; the difficulty is probably comparable to chakra fusion beyond bloodline limit elimination.
When Fukuyo forcibly mobilized his chakra to break through the cursed power and combine with it, the cursed power reacted, but it was not a positive change.
The activated curse power was like a drop of ink forced into a pool, constantly spreading and infiltrating Fukuyo's chakra.
Fukuyo could feel the intensity of his chakra increasing; the properties of his cursed power amplified his chakra like natural energy.
However, what followed was an overwhelming flood of negative emotions that took over Fu Heiyao's mind.
The emergence of countless negative emotions made Fu Heiyao feel as if he were cultivating the tailed beast transformation in the original work, and the feeling of gradually becoming a beast dominated by instinct was exactly the same.
However, because of the controlled dosage, this sensation comes on quickly and goes off quickly.
"How ugly, you stupid fellow. Your pathetic talent is no different from the roadside weeds in my eyes."
Ignoring Su Nuo's sarcastic remarks, Fu Heiyao continued to work with his hands, trying again.
He knew that his talent was no match for a monster like Sukuna, nor for a genius like Minato; he had always known that.
Does knowing the gap mean giving up?
Fu Heiyao wanted to give it a try; more important than speed was his desire to do it.
Rather than becoming strong through compromise and deals, he prefers to become the strongest through his own efforts.
Of course, this is only part of the reason; there is another crucial factor.
Su Nuo is too dangerous; Fu Heiyao dares not gamble on it, nor can he afford to.
...........
Inside an izakaya in the central street of Konoha.
Orochimaru, with his black hair and snake-like eyes, lifted the noren curtain and entered the private room.
Upon noticing his friend's arrival, Jiraiya immediately became sarcastic and sarcastic.
"Orochimaru, as expected of the old man's most prized disciple, it's so difficult to even see you."
"Orochimaru, this isn't like you." Tsunade swirled the wine glass in her hand, her every move displaying the heroic spirit of a woman among women.
"In the past, only that clumsy Jiraiya was late. We thought you had been called away by the old man to a meeting again."
"Something came up, and the report to the old man was delayed for a while."
Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya's yin-yang remarks and sat down calmly.
She felt a little helpless. It was one thing for Nawaki to be willful, but why didn't the teacher show her any consideration?
"It takes this long to write a report? Didn't you come back at noon?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled, as he poured Orochimaru a drink.
Since the vortex was destroyed, the border has become a place that requires special attention.
As the Hokage's chosen successor to the Will of Fire, Orochimaru naturally had to take action and share the burden of the Hokage.
In order to make it possible for the three of them to get together, Jiraiya deliberately stayed at Orochimaru's house from the morning onwards, just so that Orochimaru would not be able to refuse.
"I went to find Rope Tree, and he pulled me aside to give me guidance on cultivation."
Orochimaru picked up his wine glass and shrugged.
The group immediately understood; this was not surprising.
Nawaki was Orochimaru's intended disciple, and Orochimaru did indeed like the child very much.
They understood Rope Tree's personality; if they got "entangled" with him, it would indeed take up some time.
"Rope Tree, it's alright now. He needs to cultivate more. I'll give him some guidance when I have time."
Jiraiya's expression changed when Nawaki was mentioned, and he kept glancing at Tsunade.
"If you have time, why don't you go and help me take care of it?"
Orochimaru smiled without saying a word. How could he not see through Jiraiya's thoughts? He wanted to use Nawaki's younger brother's identity to get ahead of Jiraiya.
However, he didn't expose him; instead, he helped Jiraiya.
As for anything more, I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Orochimaru was truly at his wit's end, since no matter how many assists he received, he still needed to deal the damage himself.
Orochimaru was often asked by Jiraiya to create opportunities, but unfortunately, even when given those opportunities, he himself was ineffective.
"Jiraiya, Nawaki is still young. If you dare to corrupt him, I'll beat you up."
Tsunade knew perfectly well what was going on, but she didn't care. She chuckled and clinked glasses with the two of them, drinking as they went.
She had long seen through Jiraiya's intentions, but unfortunately, she just couldn't connect with him.
Furthermore, Tsunade found it unacceptable that Jiraiya shared the same quirks as the old man.
She's not even as good as that guy Shen, at least he could make her feel good, but unfortunately he was taken away by the beautiful Uchiha.
The sound of clinking glasses could be heard from time to time as the three of them joked about funny things that happened when they were children.
"Speaking of which, did you see that brat Fushiguro when you went to find Nawaki?"
Tsunade, her cheeks slightly flushed, suddenly spoke.
"Fukuguro, that weirdo who always loses to you at gambling?" Jiraiya was instantly drawn to the question.
He appeared doubtful, but in reality, he knew everything perfectly well.
Jiraiya, who often kept an eye on Tsunade, was extremely wary of any man who approached her, and naturally knew about Tsunade's "bad friends".
伏黑甚尔
This is an extraordinary person; he can easily do things that Jiraiya could never do in his entire life.
He lost to Tsunade in a bet.
"A dazzling genius, just like his name."
When it comes to Fushiko, Orochimaru speaks highly of him.
"That's right, look who named it."
Tsunade was secretly pleased, and picked up the sake jug, letting out a series of delightful "Zhi Zhe Zhe" sounds.
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was struck dumb, as if he had lost his soul.
Could it be that Tsunade and that guy Jin really had a child secretly?!
Damn it, Fuheishen'er, you've done so many bad things, I'm going to pee on your grave.
"Look how scared you are. That child's mother is an Uchiha."
Orochimaru saw that Jiraiya's face was pale and felt both annoyed and amused.
This coward, you can't even be useful when given a chance.
"So it was an Uchiha. It's no wonder he was seduced by a beautiful Uchiha."
Jiraiya patted his chest, seemingly to encourage himself, and then looked at Tsunade.
"Then why did you name Shen'er's son? I remember you weren't a sentimental person."
"That guy lost everything, even his underwear. He had nothing left to lose, so he had to stake his son's naming rights on it."
Tsunade shook her head and retorted.
Upon hearing this, both Jiraiya and Orochimaru fell silent.
To ensure Tsunade's continued victory, they even used their own son as a bet.
Is this guy even human?!
