Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

Corpse Bone Pulse?

Where did this "corpse bone vein" come from?!

After careful observation, Jiraiya immediately discovered the principle behind the formation of the White Bone Forest.

"Forget it, now's not the time to think about these things. We need to find Akihi Shun and the others as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three people emerged from the bone forest.

"Lord Jiraiya, have you resolved things on your end? Have you obtained the information?"

It was Akihi Shun and his two companions who came out. Akihi Shun asked Jiraiya a question after seeing him.

"Akihito-sensei? You're all alright? That's great!"

When Jiraiya saw that all three of them were alive, he quickly ran over and hugged them.

"Ouch!! It hurts! It hurts!"

Junsuke Sarutobi screamed as soon as he was hugged.

He had suffered many injuries while fighting those bounty hunters, and now his clothes were completely stained with blood.

Aburame Takuma was only slightly better than him. Inui chuckled and replied, "We were surrounded by a team led by Jonin from Iwagakure. We almost died, but luckily Akihito Shun intervened and killed them all."

Just hearing what Takuma Aburame said, Jiraiya could imagine how serious the incident must have been, and his expression turned serious.

"Sorry, it's my fault as the team leader. But you said that Akihito Shun-sensei killed them all, so what about this ninja with the Corpse Bone Pulse? Was he also taken down by Akihito Shun-sensei? Well done!"

After blaming himself, Jiraiya immediately looked at Shun Akihi with admiration. He hadn't expected Shun Akihi to perform so well, even taking down a Bloodline Limit user!

"But this Iwagakure village is really hiding its true strength; they even have a Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) hidden there. But we don't really have the right to judge them, since Konoha also has an Ice Release technique hidden..."

As Jiraiya was talking to himself, Takuma Aburame interrupted him: "Um... Jiraiya-sama, the Shikotsumyaku wasn't from the other side, it was from Shun Akihito. It was Shun Akihito who used the Shikotsumyaku's wide-range ninjutsu to wipe out the entire enemy team."

"Oh, I see, it's Autumn Moment..."

Jiraiya paused for a moment as he spoke, then realized what he meant.

"Akihito Shun-sensei!? Akihito Shun-sensei's Shikotsumyaku!??"

As if he had discovered some rare species, Jiraiya moved closer to Akihito Shun and began to observe him carefully.

"No! What exactly happened between you two?"

Jiraiya was completely dumbfounded.

"Lord Jiraiya, I know you're curious, but I need to treat them first. I'll let them tell you during the treatment."

Akira Shun pointed to the side, where Sarutobi Junsuke and Sarutobi Junsuke were grimacing in pain from their wounds.

"Okay, okay~ You can get treatment first!"

Jiraiya was able to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.

Akira cleared a clean area and laid the clothes on the ground. Since Sarutobi Junsuke's injuries were more serious, he had him lie on the ground to begin treatment.

Opening the blood-soaked shirt, one finds numerous wounds of varying sizes, as well as charred skin from a fire-style attack.

"With such serious injuries, you still dared to climb my bones..."

Hearing Akihi Shun's speechless voice, Sarutobi Junsuke chuckled awkwardly twice: "Hehe, sorry, sorry, I was just too curious at the time."

"Alright, bear with it." Akihi Shun said, using a chakra scalpel to begin treating Sarutobi Junsuke's wounds.

"Sigh~" Junsuke Sarutobi gasped.

Without anesthesia, the knife was being cut open like that. Sarutobi Junsuke's expression was already contorted with pain, but he was still trying his best to endure it and not make too much noise to disturb Akihi Shun's treatment.

After treating the wound, the next step is to use the Palm Healing Technique for healing. Akira Shun has done this process countless times in the hospital and is already very familiar with it.

"Alright, lie down for a while. We'll set up camp here and rest for the night."

Soon, Junsuke Sarutobi's wounds were treated.

"Hehe, Akihi Shun, you're really all-around amazing. You can fight, heal, and even use Ice Release. Life is so convenient for you."

Sarutobi Junsuke chuckled twice, already fantasizing about what he would do if he had Akihi Shun's abilities.

Akira ignored him, took out new clothes, and had Aburame Takuma lie on them to begin treatment.

While Akihi Shun was treating Sarutobi Junsuke, Aburame Takuma had already told Jiraiya everything that had happened.

At this moment, Jiraiya looked at Akihi Shun with curiosity in his eyes, but because Akihi Shun was treating Aburame Takuma, he could only hold back for the time being.

Soon, Takuma Aburame finished his treatment, and Jiraiya finally had a chance to speak: "Shun Akihime-sensei, what's with your whole body changing color and growing a tail?"

When Shun first demonstrated his Ice Release, Hiruzen Sarutobi said that he would handle all matters concerning Shun's bloodline limit, so Jiraiya and the others never inquired about Shun's bloodline limit.

However, this transformation is different from the bloodline limit, because according to the description, that state really looks like Sage Mode!

What does this mean?

Are geniuses just that unreasonable? They can even create Sage Mode by themselves?

Akira Shun explained, "I call that state Cursed Seal Transformation. When I activate Cursed Seal Transformation, my chakra, strength, and speed are greatly enhanced. For example, my ninjutsu, Early Fern Dance, oh, that is, this White Bone Forest, can only be used with Cursed Seal Transformation."

"Also, the cursed seal transformation cannot be taught; currently only I can activate it. Can you understand it as a special constitution?"

Seeing Jiraiya's expectant gaze, Akira knew what he was thinking and directly interrupted Jiraiya's reverie.

He was telling the truth. The principle of Cursed Seal Transformation is simple: first, extract the cells of Jugo who has the "Sage Transformation" physique, copy them, modify them into "Cursed Seal Enzymes," and then transplant them onto the body.

Who knows where Jugo is making his fortune right now?

"Oh well."

Jiraiya quickly accepted this fact; it seemed that his idea of ​​a large army of Konoha ninjas with cursed seals was impossible.

As for the special physique that Akira Shun mentioned, Jiraiya quickly accepted this statement. With two bloodline limits, it seemed unsurprising that he would have a special physique.

"So, are we just going to lie here like this?"

Junsuke Sarutobi suddenly spoke up and asked.

"If you want to go into the city to see if there are any other enemies, you can go and take a look. We won't stop you," Aburame Takuma replied.

Junsuke Sarutobi chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, never mind then, staying here is fine too."

Jiraiya and Akihito Shun set up a tent and waited until Sarutobi Junsuke and Aburame Takuma's injuries had completely stabilized before the group set off on their way back to the village.

Before leaving, Akihi Shun also casually pulverized the entire White Bone Forest, and the bone spikes formed by the Dance of Early Ferns were completely under his control.

Upon returning to the village, Jiraiya went to the Hokage's office and reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi about Shun Akihito's dual bloodline limits.
