From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Hatake Tachibana was quite interested. He activated the infinite perception system at full power and began to observe this "skill" carefully.

...

The Kurama clan's bloodline limit is indeed unique, but it is a pity that this "art" is destined to be restrained by him.

You know, in the world of Demon Slayer, he has already cultivated the sixth sense - "Kenshin Keiki" by himself, and then in the world of one piece, he further integrated it with the observation Haki, which gave birth to the current - Infinite.

And then, because of the combination of the three colors of domineering, "Infinity" also received another system upgrade. Now, if his five senses can still be controlled by the illusion of the Kurama clan, it would be a laughing stock.

However, Hatake Tachibana, who had developed a strong interest in the Kurama clan's bloodline illusion, finally chose to give up his resistance in order to see clearly the subsequent development process of this "jutsu".

He just obediently followed the power of this illusion and sealed his own mental strength into a special space.

...

With a look of horror on his face, Kurama Kaede looked at the giant humanoid luminous body in front of him. The mental pressure that seemed to be in a different dimension made Kurama Kaede's spirit body tremble uncontrollably.

After the situation calmed down for a while, Kurama Fengye asked in horror: "What kind of monster are you? Why can't my Kurama clan's illusions have any effect on you!"

Hatake Tachibana was not in a hurry to answer Kurama Kaede's question. He just looked around this spiritual space, then unfolded his infinite perception system and began to frantically analyze this special ninjutsu...

This spiritual space is very interesting. It can actually materialize his huge spiritual body. If facing some special enemies, such as enemies that cannot be killed even if the physical body is destroyed, then this technique will be very useful.

While Infinite was still busy, the spiritual body of Hatake Tachibana leaned down, looked directly at the little thing under his feet, and said:

"The word monster is not very polite... a jonin from the Kurama clan."

"Don't worry! I'm not a monster. I'm a human, a Hatake Tachibana, and also your new teammate. I won't do anything that would be detrimental to you and Konoha Village. As for what happened today, well..."

"This is an accident, an accident caused by you. I hope you can keep this secret for me and don't tell anyone. Of course, this is just a friendly suggestion from me. You can choose not to follow my advice."

"But I want to remind you that if you really do this, it is very likely to trigger some unexpected changes that you don't want to see."

After saying this, Hatake Tachibana's spirit did not speak again. It just looked quietly at Kurama Maple's spirit under its feet.

Looking at the glowing giant in front of him, his eyes were calm and gentle, but the gap between the two of them, as if they came from different dimensions, made Kurama Kaede lower his head uncontrollably.

I can no longer look directly at the giant in front of me, his gaze seems to be able to penetrate deep into my soul.

After only a moment's consideration, Kurama Kaede nodded.

Kurama Kaede had no intention of deceiving Hatake Tachibana, and of course she couldn't deceive Tachibana, who had an infinite perception system.

There are many reasons why Kurama Maple Leaf agreed.

For example, at this moment, she was no longer able to control this technique normally, which meant that she could not stop this technique, and she had not yet thought of a way to make her spirit leave this space.

If the spirit cannot leave this special space, then won’t she become a vegetable?

Kurama Kaede knew that the "culprit" who caused all this could only be the one in front of her, the "young man Hatake Tachibana", whose spiritual body was as tall as a giant.

Moreover, relying solely on the strength of the spiritual body, Kurama Kaede also understood that the existence of such a powerful spiritual body should not bother to deceive her. Even if he deceived her, what would happen?

She had no way to resist...

Even in the entire Konoha Village, Kurama Maple could not find a force strong enough to resist such an existence.

Therefore, choosing to compromise and following Hatake Tachibana's advice is her best option at the moment.

After a while, when Infinite had completely analyzed this special illusion, Hatake Tachibana also began to try to control this special space...

"No!" But at this moment, the spirit of Kurama Maple Leaf beside him exclaimed.

"Why?" Hatake Tachibana asked with his head down in some confusion.

Kurama Fengye paused, with a struggling expression, but finally spoke: "In this spiritual space, the ninja who controls this technique, the damage caused to the spiritual body entering this space will also be transferred to the physical body. Your mental power is too strong."

"If you force yourself to be the master of this technique, then I will most likely be harmed by it and become a permanent idiot."

"Oh? Is that so..." Nodding, Hatake Tachibana asked again: "Then how do we leave here?"

But who knows, Kurama Maple Leaf shook his head and said: "I don't know either. Although I am still the leader of this technique, I have no way to control it. I think this should be your fault..."

After hearing this, Tachibana Hatake suddenly realized, and after thinking for a moment, he used the technique similar to "See and Hear Killing" that he mastered in the pirate world in his previous life to block most of his senses and mental pressure.

Then he looked at Kurama Kaede's spirit and asked:

"Try again and see if you can still control this technique to take the two of us out?"

The feeling of oppression dissipated like the tide, and Kurama Kaede's spirit body couldn't help but radiate a sense of relief.

"Okay, I'll try." After saying this, Kurama Kaede's spirit closed his eyes and tried with full concentration to control the technique again.

After only a few breaths, Kurama Kaede's spirit body opened its eyes, looked at Hatake Tachibana and replied:

"can!"

He smiled, and the golden giant transformed by Hatake Tachibana looked at Kurama Kaede with a sincere expression and asked:

"Kurama Maple Leaf Jonin, can you continue to guide me in the practice of this illusion? After all, I don't have the blood of your Kurama clan, so it's still a bit difficult for me to use this illusion."

After just a brief thought, Kurama Kaede didn't refuse Hatake Tachibana. After all, Hatake Tachibana had already learned it, and even if she wanted to stop him now, she couldn't!

What's the point of refusing again?

Chapter 25: Too Easy S-Class Mission

Konoha Village frontline training camp.

Everyone saw that Kurama Kaede, who had just stood opposite Hatake Tachibana for two or three seconds, suddenly turned back behind Sarutobi Chikawa, lowered his head and said softly:

"Hatake Tachibana is very good. He is very resistant to illusions. Unless he is a jonin who specializes in illusions, ordinary illusion ninjas can't do anything to him. I have tried it. If anyone of you wants to know Tachibana's ninjutsu, go up and try it yourself."

After saying this, Kurama Maple Leaf didn't say anything more.

Hearing this, the remaining members of this ninja team, which had previously been composed entirely of elite jonin, said nothing more.

For them, the current Hatake Tachibana is already qualified, as long as his perception ability is not compromised.

Captain Araki saw this and did not waste any more time. He took Tachibana Hatake and other team members into the depths of the jungle and began to test Tachibana's perception abilities.

Of course, there were no surprises in the results of this test, except that Kurama Kaede kept his head down and remained silent.

The other people, Akimichi Chouku, Sarutobi Chikawa, Kato Dan and the captain Araki, all praised the perception ability of Hatake Tachibana's "thunder eyes".

Among them, Sarutobi Chikawa himself patted his chest and guaranteed that he would ensure the safety of Hatake Tachibana, the "sensing ninja", on the battlefield.

After hearing this, Hatake Tachibana smiled and nodded, and expressed his gratitude. Then, in order to welcome Hatake Tachibana, the new team member, Araki took several members of his team to the camp cafeteria and started the first team-building activity.

It was also from this day that the "ghost-like ninja team" that would later be widely known by the Sand Village ninjas was officially formed!

...

The very next morning, Hatake Sakumo issued a combat mission to Araki's team of "elite ninjas" to penetrate deep into the rear of the Sand Village ninja camp.

Coincidentally, the content of this mission was also to attack the supply transport team, but this time the roles were reversed.

Konoha took the initiative to attack the transport supply team of the Sand Village!

After receiving the combat mission, Captain Araki did not waste any time and led several members of the elite team, including Hatake Tachibana at this time, to put on the accompanying ninja tools and scrolls of supplies.

He plunged into the buffer zone between Konoha and Sand Village, the battlefield ahead...

This is an S-level combat mission. To complete this mission is extremely difficult. If it weren't for Tachibana, Hatake Sakumo wouldn't even be able to issue this mission.

In fact, the target of their attack this time was not strong. After all, it was just the supply transport team of the Sand Village in the rear. It was difficult for a supply transport team to have any strong defense force.

but!

The difficulty of their mission this time lies in how they can cross this large area and reach the rear of the Sand Village Ninja Force without alerting the Sand Village Ninja Force to find the supply transport team which only has a rough location.

Their spies in the Sand Village of Konoha Village could not do what the "Pot Shadow" Shimura Danzo did, who could not only provide the detailed route of the transport team, the defense personnel, but also mark the positions of the sentries along the route...

Moreover, at this time, their Konoha Village was far at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and the defense forces in many areas were seriously insufficient. Compared with the attack by the Sand Village ninja a few days ago, the combat plan designated by Hatake Sakumo was even more difficult.

This is also one of the reasons why this elite ninja team needs to be dispatched.

And Hatake Tachibana is the most indispensable link in this combat mission. Without his radar-like perception ability that can sense the area within a radius of dozens of miles, Hatake Sakumo really couldn't figure out how to complete this combat mission.

And this is why he had to let Hatake Tachibana take the risk.

-

One week later in the morning, when Tachibana Hatake led his team out of an unknown forest, Tachibana's elite jonin teammates had already admired the new team member to the extreme.

They are really in this line of work!

It went too smoothly...

Yes, the attack on the Sand Village's supply transport team, which was also their S-level mission this time, has been successfully completed. They not only wiped out all the ninjas who were transporting supplies from the Sand Village, but also a total of six jonins, fifteen chuunins, and thirty-four genin.

Even the supply scrolls that the Sand Village ninjas carried with them were burned to ashes by Sarutobi Chikawa's fire-style ninjutsu.

There were too many scrolls for them to take back, so they could only select some precious scrolls of supplies and take them with them.

This kind of wasteful behavior made even Sarutobi Chikawa, a descendant of a large ninja family from Konoha Village, feel so painful that his face twitched as he burned.

At this time, their team was already on their way back, loaded with scrolls of supplies from the Sand Village.

...

This "S" level mission can be said to be the most "simple and smooth" mission Araki has ever received since leading this elite ninja team.

They did not encounter any unknown enemies along the way, except for four or five places that they could not avoid. Hatake Tachibana also chose the best location and fought several crushing battles. No accidents happened on their trip.

Even in those crushing battles, the role of Hatake Tachibana was equally indispensable. After all, they were able to learn most of the enemy's intelligence several kilometers in advance!

For example, the specific hiding place of the secret sentry, what traps there are along the way, the chakra level of the Sand Village ninjas, what kind of escape techniques they are good at and what their attributes are, and even what hidden injuries and flaws there are inside the body, Hatake Tachibana can tell them all.

This kind of battle is very difficult for their elite team of jonin.

It's hard to lose...

At first, they couldn't believe it until they experienced the battles along the way.

At this time, Sarutobi Chikawa was even so inflated that he suggested that after they completed their original mission, they could go to the ninja camp in the Sand Village and deal with that stinky old woman Chiyo as well!

Hatake Tachibana was somewhat tempted by this proposal, but this move was unanimously opposed by other members of the team.

Well, except for Kurama Kaede, she also thinks it is possible. After all, with this kind of "monster" around, let alone killing Chiyo, even rushing to the Sand Village and killing the Third Kazekage is not impossible.

Chapter 26 Night Attack

As for Hatake Tachibana, he hasn't had any chance to take action in the past few days. The only time was when facing the supply transport team of the Sand Village. Captain Araki didn't know whether he was afraid that he would be bored or wanted to train Hatake Tachibana.

He even assigned a Chunin from the Sand Village to be Tachibana's opponent in a one-on-one duel...

The result is naturally self-evident.

When they saw Hatake Tachibana use the Lightning Release Ninja Technique "Thunder Level Chiyo Mai" to instantly kill the Sand Village's Chunin, the members of this elite combat team were completely convinced of his strength and each took action to eliminate the Sand Village's Jonin one by one.

Except for Sarutobi Chikawa, no one else paid any attention to Hatake Tachibana and let him do what he wanted.

As for leaving Sarutobi Chikawa behind to protect Hatake Tachibana alone, everyone in the team still thought it was necessary. After all, everyone could see Tachibana's role, and it was really too important!

However, this situation is actually understandable. After all, after all, having enjoyed the feeling of cheating, even these elite jonin from Konoha Village, who wants to go back to the previous state of risking their lives to complete missions?

However, after experiencing this S-level mission, Hatake Tachibana, who had just completed it, suddenly had another idea. He seemed to have underestimated himself. This was his abnormal perception ability like a bug.

His perception ability, on the battlefield, can completely determine the outcome of a battle!

Unless some kind of power appears in the Sand Village that exceeds the current level.

Otherwise, relying solely on the existing strength of Konoha Village would be enough to defeat the Sand Village's army, and there would be no need to wait for the support of the Three Ninjas!

...

In the Sand Village Ninja Camp, inside the tent of Commander-in-Chief Chiyo.

At this time, Chiyo was holding a ninja uniform of the Sand Village in her hand, looking sad alone. This was the ninja uniform that her dead son had worn.

The bodies of his poor son and daughter-in-law are still in the hands of Konoha Village. How could she, an old woman in her sixties, not be heartbroken, if she didn't have a young grandson, Scorpion, who has not yet grown up.

Chiyo really wanted to fight Hatake Sakumo to death together, to put an end to it all...

Even Chiyo now felt a little resentful towards the Third Kazekage who had issued that stupid mission. Chiyo also didn't understand what the Third Kazekage was thinking.

She actually assigned such a suicidal task to her son and daughter-in-law!

If it weren't for the subsequent war with Konoha Village, which received strong support from the Third Kazekage, Chiyo would even have suspected that this guy was eliminating dissidents!

He deliberately sent his son "Liu" out to die.

But there is no point in thinking about this now. Even if this is true, what can she do?

Could it be possible that he was going to kill the Third Kazekage?

Then she would really become a sinner of the Sand Village.
