Being a rogue ninja is worse than being Hokage.

Page 81

Kazakura Koyuki, who finally realized something was wrong, was unaware that it was all a scheme by San Taifu.

She didn't want strangers to know about her past, so she started refusing to act and tried her best to avoid going to the Snow Country.

They were spotted by Class 7, who had received the mission to protect Fuuka Koyuki from Santayu.

But at this moment, because Naruto destroyed Konoha when he defected from Konoha.

This caused Konoha to postpone the priority given to ordinary tasks such as protecting actresses.

Although the current Santaiyu is located in the Land of Fire along with the crew of "Princess of the Wind and Cloud," no ninja has accepted the mission to protect Fuuka Koyuki.

Knowing that Kazeka Koyuki would be targeted by the snow ninjas loyal to Kazeka Nutō upon returning to the Land of Snow, the crew's ordinary guards were powerless to resist.

Without the help of ninjas, taking Kazahana Koyuki to the Land of Snow would be a foolish act of walking into a trap.

In addition, due to the repeated escapes of Fuuka Koyuki from the film crew, San Taifu and the film crew are still stuck in the Land of Fire.

They are currently filming scenes for other characters that do not require filming in the Snow Country.

"That's about all the things related to wind, flowers, and light snow."

Naruto selectively explained the relationship between the Land of Snow and Kazahana Koyuki to Karin.

"So we're not kidnapping?"

If she were just an actress named Fujikaze Yukie, then kidnapping her for ransom would be understandable.

But Feng Hua Xiao Xue, a princess in exile whose family was destroyed, no longer had that value.

"I have already asked someone to contact Asama Santayu. We will carry out the escort mission as a normal four-person team."

Naruto's so-called "helping someone" refers to black market merchants.

With the connections of black market merchants, gaining Santa's trust to get Naruto the mission of protecting the actress "Fujifuyuki" would be a piece of cake.

However, the price was that Naruto had to give up more information than he had expected in exchange for it with the black market merchants.

However, for Naruto, who knows the original story, any information he possesses is a secret that would never be known to outsiders, even to black market merchants.

Naruto only needs to reveal a little information to the black market dealer that won't affect him personally.

He didn't just exchange information about Feng Hua Xiao Xue.

He even had a black market merchant "gift" him some information related to Orochimaru.

For example, Sasuke, just like in the original story, defected from Konoha and followed Orochimaru.

For example, according to legend, after Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, he was cursed with a terrible curse of killing his teacher... and the Third Hokage's vengeful spirit took away all the ninjutsu he had mastered!

Naruto had only guessed that he could resurrect Kabuto using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

However, they received assurances from black market merchants who assured them of the intelligence's authenticity based on their business reputation.

Naruto, however, had some other ideas.

The so-called vengeful spirit of the Third Hokage is nothing more than a misconception that inevitably emerges when information is piled up and leaked.

However, if we only talk about "vengeful spirits," then the Grim Reaper can also be called that.

Orochimaru's souls were taken away by the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, the Reaper Death Seal.

The souls of the hands were sealed.

Even though Orochimaru mastered the "Reanimation Jutsu" to achieve immortality, he was unable to resurrect the souls of his hands.

In other words, even if Sasuke continues to follow Orochimaru, he will not be used by Orochimaru as a vessel for "resurrection".

Orochimaru naturally wanted to possess the Uchiha clan's bloodline in a perfect form through "Reanimation Jutsu" so that it could last forever.

Chapter 10 Ninjutsu to Save the Ninja World

"But where can we find two more ninjas to team up with?"

Karin interrupted Naruto's thoughts.

"I count as three."

Naruto said that he should take a moment to recover from the information related to Orochimaru.

Naruto only intended to get close to Kazahana Koyuki under the guise of an escort mission.

Of course, I wouldn't bother to actually find two more people to team up with.

Karin was able to see through Naruto's transformation technique only because of Kagura's Mind's Eye.

However, in the entire ninja world, only Karin possesses the ability of Kagura's Mind's Eye.

The entire crew of "Princess of the Storm" consisted of ordinary people, making it even easier to deceive them.

"But why suddenly protect Lord Fengyun... and send Feng Hua Xiaoxue to the Snow Country?"

“Even powerful rogue ninja need to find a backer. Their enemies are not individuals, but the countries and villages they once served—in some cases, even the five great nations would regard them as enemies.”

"Therefore, the first thing that rogue ninjas do when they defect from the village is to hide their whereabouts."

"No matter how strong a ninja is, even if he defeats an enemy once, or even twice... as long as you continue to choose to take the initiative to fight, there will be a constant stream of enemies attacking you, and you will eventually fail in one of those battles."

Naruto was happy to hear Karin's question.

Even if Karin doesn't ask, he will find time later to discuss the pros and cons with her.

"Moreover, we both need a safe place to grow our own strength."

Upon closer examination, the ninjutsu Naruto possessed were nothing more than some conventional ninjutsu.

The more unique ones are nothing more than the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Rasengan, and Flying Thunder God Technique.

And the Wind-Soothing Dawn Technique that is currently emanating, perceiving everything around it.

While Sage Mode is powerful, its essence remains the use of chakra.

However, it is within the original use of one's own chakra.

There is an additional technique called "Sage Chakra," which is created by fusing external natural chakra with one's own chakra.

Having chakra alone, but without the means to utilize it, is not enough for Naruto to make the most of Sage Mode.

Even Naruto's most frequently used Flying Thunder God Technique, he hasn't been able to utilize it to its fullest potential yet.

Yamanaka Fu and Might Guy—Naruto's current use of the Flying Thunder God Technique is ineffective against them.

Yamanaka Fuu's unique sensory abilities, exclusive to the Yamanaka clan, combined with his combat experience in "Root".

This technique allows Yamanaka Fu to sense the landing point of Naruto's teleportation after using the Flying Thunder God Technique and activate the Mind Disruption Technique, thus hindering Naruto's use of ninjutsu after the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Might Guy also relied on his extremely strong physical instincts to kick away Naruto's shadow clone that had used Flying Thunder God Technique to get to Kakashi's side in the first instant.

In both battles, Naruto's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique was undoubtedly a failure.

Compared to geniuses like the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, who perfected the Flying Thunder God Technique and earned the title "Yellow Flash," Naruto's mastery of the technique is still at a rudimentary stage.

Before officially beginning his defection plan, Naruto had been accumulating power—but he still had a sense of superiority as a transmigrator.

Even at the very beginning, due to Iruka Umino's death, and Danzo's attempt to control Naruto with Kotoamatsukami while Naruto was still in the Ninja Academy.

This deviation made Naruto wary of everything in Konoha.

From the moment Mizuki had Naruto steal the Scroll of Seals, it was as if everything Naruto knew came rushing back to him in that instant.

Naruto had made thorough preparations... but deep down he was still troubled by being back in a familiar storyline.

Even Naruto himself was unaware that he had subconsciously become complacent about any potential threat to him.

If it weren't for Kushina's chakra...

Naruto's defection plan was doomed the moment he saw the Sharingan in Yamanaka Fu's hand and was afflicted with Kotoamatsukami.

Naruto's subsequent decision to personally participate in the Konoha destruction plan was all a way to salvage his own failure.

Naruto needs to further refine his ninjutsu skills and continue his research on the forbidden techniques of the Scroll of Seals.

The most important thing is dealing with the Nine-Tails.

To face the Nine-Tails, Naruto needs Karin to grow up and master the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

Such growth is uncertain, so the longer a place can guarantee stability, the better.

Naruto thought the Land of Snow was quite nice.

It is a remote, small country that requires crossing the sea to reach, far from the four major countries located on the mainland.

The extreme climate of the Land of Snow, with its year-round snowfall, has no economic or strategic value.

The country's military strength is not particularly strong.

The only major power in the vicinity is the Water Country, which has been implementing a blood mist policy and has been closing itself off from the world for many years.

During this period, the Land of Water was truly overwhelmed with affairs.

The situation might be even worse than in Konoha.

But the most important point is that Feng Hua Xiao Xue is a very easy person to control.

Naruto will probably resort to violence to intimidate Koyuki.

However, this was just one of Naruto's tactics.

He looked at Karin and suddenly said, "I'm giving you a task."

"Task?"

Karin repeated Naruto's words, her tone full of confusion.

What kind of person do you think Princess Fengyun is?

"That's just a fictional character in a movie."

"Don't worry about whether it's true or not, just tell me how you feel about her."

Karin gazed at Naruto and began to ponder.
