Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

"Besides some of the things you mentioned liking before, I also brought some new things this time."

Shiranui Xiao released her grip, letting the packages float within the sealed space.

Then, he took one of the palm-sized boxes in his hand and opened it in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya's eyes widened slightly, a hint of anticipation in them.

After seeing what it was, a hint of boredom flickered in her beautiful eyes: "Isn't this just a seashell?"

Chapter 156 Kaguya Otsutsuki Learns Haki?

"Shell?"

Shiranui Sho chuckled and shook her head. "Although it's a shell, it's not as simple as an ordinary shell."

He took out the seashell, placed the box aside, and gestured for Kaguya to come closer: "Listen."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she turned her head to the side, lifted her snow-white hair, and revealed her small and exquisite ears.

Just as she was wondering, a melodious zither tune suddenly came from the shell.

She was slightly taken aback at first, but her expression quickly softened as she became absorbed in the beautiful music.

After a long while, the music ended, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki finally came to her senses as if waking from a dream: "Why was there a sound coming from inside this shell?"

She gently raised her delicate hand to take the seashell, lightly stroking it with her palm and carefully examining it.

"This is a special shell called a sound shell, which can record sounds."

Shiranui Sho explained, "As for the music inside, I commissioned a girl who is skilled at playing the harp to play it."

On Sky Island, Shiranui Sho and the others did not forget their promise to Conis.

After resolving the century-old feud between Sandia and the Sky Island, they stayed on the Sky Island for a few days, during which they visited Conis's home.

Conis and her father Pagaya, who were already warm and hospitable, showed even more enthusiasm for the heroes like Shiranui Sho who saved the Sky Island.

"Very good, I like it very much."

Kaguya Otsutsuki held the sound shell in her hands as if it were a priceless treasure. At the same time, she also noticed the content of Shiranui Sho's words and set her sights on Conis.

"Could you ask that girl who is good at music if she would be willing to play for me after I leave?"

Shiranui Sou hesitated for a moment, but seeing Otsutsuki Kaguya's serious expression, she nodded slightly.

As always when they met here, the two began to chat.

For Kaguya Otsutsuki, the most important "tribute" was not these bags of items, but a companion who was willing to chat with her.

Shiranui Sho's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "The outside world is far more interesting than your time. If you could go out, what would you like to do?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki gave the expected answer: "The radiance of the goddess of the rabbit will once again descend upon the ninja world."

Shiranui Sou nodded knowingly.

That is, to rule the ninja world, only in a more mystical way.

"And what is the purpose of ruling the ninja world?"

With monthly heart-to-heart talks, his relationship with Kaguya Otsutsuki gradually grew closer. He was no longer as wary and reserved as he had been at the beginning, and he spoke more casually.

Seeing that Kaguya Otsutsuki looked puzzled, he continued, "Some people rule because of ambition, for greater power, and power can bring wealth, beauty, and many other things."

"Of course, some people rule for noble purposes, wanting to realize their ideals and ambitions, rescue the people from suffering, and lead them to a prosperous life."

After pondering for a moment with her eyes lowered, Kaguya Otsutsuki said softly, "I haven't thought that much about it. To rule is just for survival."

She had her own selfish motives, but those motives were simply to survive.

But who in this world doesn't have such selfish desires?

The purpose of these actions—ambushing Isshiki Otsutsuki and creating the White Zetsu army—was simply to survive.

As for the rest, to be honest, she wasn't very interested in worldly rule.

"Survive……"

Shiranui Sho was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You once said that you created the White Zetsu Legion to resist the enemies from beyond the heavens."

"But have you ever considered how a White Zetsu, transformed from an ordinary person, could possibly resist an enemy that even you find troublesome?"

This is also a question that Shiranui Sho couldn't understand.

In the original work, White Zetsu's most troublesome ability was simply to blend in with the Allied Shinobi Forces, causing them to be unable to distinguish friend from foe.

However, such abilities pose no threat to the other Otsutsuki members.

In terms of combat power, White Zetsu can only be considered cannon fodder when facing the Otsutsuki.

Even Shiranui Sho, with her current Kage-level strength, is confident that she can easily wipe out a large number of White Zetsu.

"This……"

Kaguya Otsutsuki paused slightly, her pearly teeth gently biting her pink lips. "But this is the best solution I can think of."

"Furthermore, it's not that the White Zetsu is weak, but rather that the humans on this planet are too weak."

Kaguya's tone was filled with deep resentment.

White Zetsu is like a weapon she personally crafted; its strength depends heavily on the quality of the materials used.

A glint flashed in Shiranui Sho's eyes as she coaxed, "Have you ever thought about dealing with your enemy in a different way?"

"How about another way?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at him questioningly, "I have pondered this for a thousand years, and I have not been able to think of a better way."

Shiranui Sou said, "Look at me, how much have I changed since the first time we met?"

"Your changes..."

Kaguya's pure white eyes scrutinized him for a moment. "He has indeed become stronger."

"You mean you'll help me deal with them?"

She understood what Shiranui Sou meant, and frowned slightly, saying, "Your strength is decent on this planet, but you're not even as good as Hagoromo and the others. So how can you help me?"

"I just hope that when they actually come to this planet, you won't die easily."

After spending time together, Kaguya Otsutsuki became more lively than the goddess-like figure she was at first sight.

In her heart now, Shiranui Sho is already considered a "friend".

"Moreover, it's better to keep power in your own hands."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's tone gradually turned cold. Although her expression didn't change much, it was clear that she was in a bad mood.

Shiranui Sho knew that this was because she had remembered the time when she was sealed away by the two children.

"Right now, I'm certainly far from your level."

Shiranui Sho readily acknowledged this fact, but quickly changed the subject, saying, "But I might still be able to help you."

Under Kaguya Otsutsuki's beautiful gaze, Sho Shiranui took out a copied scroll from his bosom and handed it to her.

The warm, large hand touched the cool, snow-white jade hand, causing Kaguya's fingertips to tremble slightly.

She looked up in surprise, and her eyes met Shiranui Xiao's gentle gaze.

"This is a method of cultivating a power called Overbearing Aura."

Shiranui Sho said gently, "Although it won't double your strength instantly, it will at least greatly help your combat skills training."

"Master the domineering aura, and when you reclaim all your power in the future, a qualitative change will occur."

Entrusting Kaguya with the domineering training method was a decision he made after careful consideration.

On one hand, his relationship with Kaguya Otsutsuki became increasingly friendly, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them friends.

His attitude has shifted from initial defensiveness and exploitation to a greater inclination towards defection.

After all, people are emotional beings, and after spending a long time together, not only Kaguya's attitude changed, but his did too.

On the other hand, he has now made contact with Black Zetsu and gained his trust by virtue of his identity as a "divine messenger".

In this way, Black Zetsu's pace in rescuing his mother was also under his control.

In Shiranui Sho's opinion, Otsutsuki Kaguya's fighting skills were far from matching her strength, and Observation Haki might be able to make up for this shortcoming.

Although Kaguya has Byakugan, her Observation Haki also has unique advantages.

And... if Kaguya Otsutsuki sees in him the dawn of victory over the enemies of the Otsutsuki clan, perhaps one day she will change her stance.

"...I will take a closer look."

Kaguya Otsutsuki gently held the scroll, feeling a mix of indescribable emotions, and spoke softly with her eyes lowered.

Chapter 157 You Are All My Wings!

Early in the morning, Shiranui Sou strolled through the streets of Konoha.

The houses along the road were still quiet. The morning light broke through the thin mist and fell on the ground, and dew clung to the roof tiles.

Several breakfast shops had just lifted their curtains, and wisps of white smoke drifted slowly down the quiet street.

Today is a day off; there are no secret missions to perform.

According to his recent schedule, after breakfast he should head to the Uchiha clan's training grounds to begin his day of training.

As for why it's the Uchiha clan's training ground, and not Konoha's public training ground...

This question needs no further explanation. The training grounds that Uchiha Hikaru possessed, which were exclusively for the clan leader, were clearly more comprehensive and private than those in the public areas.

Recently, Shiranui Sho has put her training in Observation Haki on the right track.

He was truly envious of the perceptive power of Observation Haki, especially when it was cultivated to an extremely high level, it could even achieve the effect of predicting the future.

In addition, he has been thinking about something else recently.

As he encountered more and more Devil Fruits—the Bomb Fruit, the Spring Fruit, the Sand Fruit, the Thunder Fruit…

Some of these abilities can instantly create a powerful individual with unlimited potential, and can also greatly enhance combat power.

Hai Jilan possessed many abilities that made him envious, such as the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the Float-Float Fruit, the Momo-Momo Fruit, the Azure Dragon Fruit, and even the Nidhogg Fruit...

The problem is that he is not sure if he can have as many abilities as Blackbeard.

Blackbeard possesses multiple abilities, but whether these are due to his inherent uniqueness or the uniqueness of the Dark-Dark Fruit, Shiranui Sho tends to believe it is the former.

So, could he also artificially create conditions to possess the power of multiple Devil Fruits, thereby eating a second, or even more, Devil Fruits?

This idea began to take root and sprout in Shiranui Sho's heart.

He suppressed these thoughts for the time being, but the sight of the blond and red-haired men caught his attention.

Shiranui Sho was slightly taken aback after seeing clearly: "That's... Minato and Uzumaki Ona?"

He works in the Anbu, while Minato has become a Jonin instructor. The two rarely interact in their work anymore, but they still get together from time to time.

Beside the Water Gate Brothers walked a girl with waist-length red hair and a pretty face.

He also knew this girl.

At that time, the Hidden Cloud Village was searching the entire ninja world for a suitable "vessel" to become the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and Uzumaki Ona, who was wandering the ninja world, became the Hidden Cloud Village's target.

Later, Shiranui Sho and others rescued her and brought her back to Konoha.

In addition, it seems that Uzumaki Oona is also Uzumaki Kushina's childhood friend, and the two still have a good relationship in Konoha.

It seems that Minato and Uzumaki Ona have a good relationship now.

On one occasion, when Shiranui Sho and Uzumaki Kushina were traveling together, they were also seen as a couple.

At that moment, Minato, with his keen observation skills, also noticed Shiranui Sho approaching and waved with a smile: "Sho!"

Beside her, Uzumaki Oona paused slightly, her eyes flickering.

As Shiranui Xiao approached, she bowed deeply to him under their surprised gazes: "Thank you for rescuing me from the clutches of Kumogakure."

Upon hearing Uzumaki Ona's words, Shiranui Sho and Minato finally realized what was happening, their expressions showing slight surprise.

"Yanai, so the person who saved you back then was Xiao?"

A hint of gratitude appeared in Minato's eyes. "Thanks so much, Xiao!"
