Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 94 The Twelfth Return

Upon hearing Suzuki's order, Yakushi Nonou quickly summoned Kakuzu.

Upon arriving at the viewing room, Kakuzu's face was full of eager anticipation.

Although he didn't know what task Suzuki would give him, he looked forward to any task his employer would give him and felt that he would definitely complete it perfectly!

Suzuki turned around and calmly gave his order:

"Kakuzu, go to the lab later and release the Run Duck into the desert of the Land of Wind."

"Also, not long ago, a ninja named Hiruko defected from Konoha."

"He's currently in the Land of Wind. Bring him back when the time comes, and remember, he has to be alive."

As he spoke, Suzuki instructed Yakushi Nonou to hand Kakuzu detailed information and photos of Hiruko.

After receiving the mission target's information, Kakuzu carefully examined it for a moment, then, displaying great confidence, said in a certain tone:

"Don't worry, Suzuki-sama!"

"Although this guy is somewhat capable, managing to escape from the three legendary ninjas, he has no chance against me!"

Suzuki nodded slightly.

Hiruko was able to escape from the three Sannin mostly because of their friendship as classmates.

Kakuzu's strength far surpasses that of Hiruko, who has not yet mastered the Demon Fang Technique, not to mention...

Suzuki went to the table, opened a drawer, took out a black cloak, and handed it to him.

Seeing Kakuzu holding the cloak and looking completely bewildered, Suzuki calmly explained:

"This cloak was developed by the Sky Ninjas."

"The cloak is lined with various shellfish, and is also wrapped in a layer of highly defensive metal."

"It's a great piece of equipment, whether for fighting or traveling."

Upon hearing Suzuki's words, Kakuzu opened his cloak, revealing a number 1-3 printed on the back.

Upon seeing such a strange number, he couldn't help but look at Suzuki with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, it was Yakushi Nonou who spoke up to explain:

"Mr. Kakuzu, these are the personnel numbers that Suzuki-kun assigned beforehand."

"1 represents the first team, and 3 represents the third person. That is, you are the third member of the first team. The first two are me and Hanako."

"There will be many more formations here in the future. The members of Team 1 will all be the administrators of the spaceship. I am currently in charge of managing the researchers of Team 2."

"The lab is still short of talent. If you are interested in the future, you can choose to manage the combat department or be in charge of finance."

Kakuzu listened attentively to Yakushi Nonou's introduction and had no objection to the number on his body.

His eyes lit up immediately when he heard about the finance department. Combat? Finance? No doubt about it!

Kakuzu immediately spoke up to express his thoughts:

"Finance! I want to manage the finances!"

"."

Yakushi Nonou looked speechless, then turned to Suzuki.

Suzuki nodded calmly, giving his promise:

"Okay, you can manage the finances from now on."

"When you come back, I will give you all the gold I have stored away."

"good!"

Kakuzu nodded quickly, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

Money isn't his hobby, nor is spending it, but he's very interested in making and managing money!

After receiving the position, Kakuzu wasted no time. After saying goodbye to Suzuki, he hurriedly left the observation room and headed towards the laboratory.

Soon after, Yakushi Nonou also left.

Suzuki then continued training in Observation Haki and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

.

……

Time quickly passed to May 30th.

Today marks Suzuki's twelfth return. At this moment, he is sitting quietly in a chair in the viewing room of Ark Maxim, waiting.

Suzuki hasn't returned to his bedroom in the food court for a long time.

However, he would occasionally create shadow clones to follow Hanako and two of his teammates, whose souls had been modified, back to Konoha for a visit.

The clone from the One Piece world has been studying with Koushirou in Shimotsuki Village for more than half a year and has mastered most of the basic swordsmanship.

According to Koushirou, Suzuki was not far from becoming a swordsman who could cut through iron by comprehending the breath of all things.

Indeed, this is true. The breathing of all things may seem mysterious, but in reality, it is simply about learning to find the weaknesses of things.

With Suzuki's current strength, his meticulous control over his power honed over the years, the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and his Observation Haki, learning the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique is a natural progression for him.

He essentially has a magnifying glass that magnifies weaknesses, making it much easier for him to find them than for ordinary people.

A short while later, Suzuki, who was already extremely familiar with the regression point, stood up calmly.

The next moment, the world was like a mirage, as if only Suzuki and his clone were real.

On the other side of the mirror, the clone also remained calm, and the two of them simultaneously extended their fingers and lightly tapped the mirror surface.

In an instant, the mirror shattered, and countless dazzling points of light floated in the air before gradually disappearing…

Like flowing water, the clone returned to the main body along Suzuki's outstretched arm.

Suddenly, despite the windless weather, the curtains and wooden table in the viewing room began to sway slightly for no apparent reason.

Suzuki unleashed his power with abandon!

His strength has surged once again since his return.

Suzuki has always selectively given half of his attributes to his clones. If neither of them were to be counted as Devil Fruit abilities, he would even be slightly inferior to his clones.

However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit provides such a huge boost to strength before reaching monster level that his overall strength is still much stronger than his clone.

However, the return of this clone is equivalent to Suzuki returning to his complete form. The Suzuki of today is the true, complete form!

It's important to know that not only his clones, but Suzuki himself also grows. He is already at an age where he is growing rapidly, and after obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he has been using lightning to temper his body.

Therefore, Suzuki at this moment is much stronger than he was 3 years ago. His physical fitness has now increased by about forty times!

With such astonishing physical attributes, his chakra level has reached a point close to that of a tailed beast.

With his current power, the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Haki, and the assistance of his twin swords, Raiga, he was able to achieve his goal.

Suzuki felt that if Kakuzu were the unit, he should be able to fight ten Kakuzus right now!

"Are we...almost at the monster?"

Suzuki earnestly felt his own power.

Unbeknownst to him, he had long since surpassed geniuses, and even most of the former geniuses who had grown into powerful figures were no match for him.

"However, people always have to move forward."

Suzuki raised his head and looked calmly at the exceptionally bright full moon in the night sky.

This star, which has hung in the ninja world for a thousand years, is closely related to the Otsutsuki clan.

Whether it's Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths who created the moon, or Kaguya Otsutsuki, the goddess of the ninja world and the origin of chakra sealed within her, or even the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki who guards the moon, they are all undoubtedly beings who have had a profound impact on the ninja world.

"The Divine Tree..."

Suzuki recalled the images of the Divine Tree, his eyes deep as he pondered his future growth plan, while simultaneously extending his arm to create a new clone.
