Chapter 152: I Just Made a Mistake All Men Make
Chapter 152: I Just Made a Mistake All Men Make
“Are they here?”
Tang Ping, mid-leap, turned to look at Hyuga Aoi beside him.
“They’re here!”
She nodded lightly.
After her second prenatal phase, her Reincarnation Eye’s vision range had increased by another kilometer, allowing her to see through objects within a five-kilometer radius.
It was like having a superhuman radar!
This was why the Byakugan was so highly regarded.
It was incredibly useful in battles and on the battlefield.
Tang Ping was great in many aspects, but for reconnaissance, he truly couldn’t do without Aoi’s help.
It was just too useful.
Typical sensory jutsu had a range of only a few dozen meters, while secret techniques could reach a few hundred meters, but they were extremely difficult to master.
Bloodline limits were just that unreasonable.
In the future, there would be Kousaka with her ‘Kagura Heart Eye,’ which had a range of over twenty kilometers, leaving ordinary sensory ninjas with no chance.
“Lead the way!”
Tang Ping spoke.
Before taking action, he needed to make sure everything was clear and that certain items were in safekeeping with her.
However, as they moved forward, he felt a strange sense of guilt for some reason.
‘No, why should I feel guilty?’
‘Aoi and I are completely innocent. We haven’t even held hands!’
Tang Ping tried to boost his confidence.
And so, they arrived at the base of a large tree.
Without Aoi’s guidance, no one would have noticed the hidden figures up there.
“Not bad, your concealment skills!”
Tang Ping looked up and commented on the tree.
At such close range, he could naturally find his target.
As he spoke, a section of the tree shifted, and a camouflage cloth fell, revealing two figures.
One of them was naturally Uchiha Shizuka.
As one of Uchiha Yae’s two major supporters and a top-tier genjutsu specialist, she couldn’t possibly miss this mission.
The other was Uchiha Yae, whom he hadn’t seen for over a year.
After so much time, her figure had grown even more elegant, especially her perfectly straight legs, which would drive certain leg enthusiasts wild.
Her long, black hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her delicate, fair face with calm, pale pink eyes looking down at Tang Ping from the tree.
“Ha ha,” Tang Ping laughed awkwardly under her pink-eyed gaze and quickly changed the subject. “It’s been a while, Yae. You’ve changed a lot!”
She was his fiancee, and he had been out on his own for so long, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
Most importantly, even when he was labeled as a ‘dead last’ and a ‘waste,’ she had always treated him the same, never once hinting at breaking their engagement.
So, in his heart, he acknowledged their relationship.
That’s why he had no hesitation in revealing certain things to her and calling her for help this time.
She had not let him down, coming from the front lines without a word.
Actually, doing so carried significant risks.
But she had come without knowing the full truth, and such trust made Tang Ping feel he owed her, which was the source of his awkwardness.
But it was fine. He had only made a mistake that all men make… no, he hadn’t made it yet, right?
So, no problem!
“Hmph!” Uchiha Yae jumped down from the tree and spoke. “If you don’t have a good reason, you’d better prepare five bottles of Regeneration Elixir for yourself!”
Her voice was calm, but her words were terrifying.
This meant that if Tang Ping had no important reason for pulling her away from the front lines, he would lose all five of his limbs.
Tsk!
Uchiha Yae was ruthless, and she always kept her word.
To protect his limbs, Tang Ping wouldn’t beat around the bush.
He hadn’t written everything in the letter for fear it might be intercepted. Now that they were face-to-face, he wouldn’t hold back.
“This time, I need you to help me capture a target…”
Tang Ping shared the information about White Zetsu.
“Is there really something like this in the ninja world?”
Uchiha Shizuka’s eyebrows furrowed, and her elegant, fair face was filled with doubt.
This wasn’t because she doubted Tang Ping, but because her worldview was being challenged.
Uchiha Yae didn’t speak, but her eyes also reflected the same doubt.
"Well, we'll find out soon enough, won't we?"
Tang Ping didn’t bother to explain further, deciding to let the results speak for themselves.
He took the pile of materials the two had brought (as mentioned in the letter) and began to work.
"What is this?"
Hyuga Aozuki leaned in curiously to ask, inadvertently displaying a burden that seemed too heavy for her age.
Especially when compared to a girl a year older, who was still as ‘flat’ as ever.
The contrast couldn’t be more stark.
Uchiha Shizuka, seeing this, not only didn’t step forward but took a step back, watching the scene with a gleeful expression.
Since graduation, she had almost regarded Tang Ping as a ‘monster.’
Now, seeing him struggle, she was more than happy to watch the show.
"These are sealing tools I created using seal techniques. If we place them in an area, they will react if the target enters it!"
After setting up the tools, which resembled flashlights, Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
White Zetsu was indeed hard to detect underground.
However, when he poked his head out to observe the surface, it would be the perfect opportunity.
These tools mimicked the infrared alarms from his previous world, continuously emitting and receiving beams. If anything blocked the beams, an alarm would trigger.
A very simple tool, but the key was the idea!
Chakra was versatile, but the limiting factor was always the ninja’s imagination.
Orochimaru was a pioneer, which is why he created numerous secret and forbidden techniques, achieving significant scientific breakthroughs.
Kabuto, in the future, might seem more impressive, but he was merely building on Orochimaru’s legacy, with no significant original contributions. Thus, he was a learner, not a pioneer.
By creating these small tools, Tang Ping was doing something that those studying seal techniques had never thought of.
Their focus was always on increasing power or strengthening sealing abilities, so they never considered this application.
Soon, Tang Ping handed the assembled tools to Uchiha Mei and Uchiha Shizuka.
Yama Kenji and Hyuga Aozuki were his teammates and would definitely be within White Zetsu’s range of suspicion. If they were out of sight, it would raise suspicion, so they had to remain visible.
"Later...," Tang Ping explained the plan, then sternly warned, "If there’s no opportunity, abandon the plan. Absolutely no reckless actions!"
The goal wasn’t to capture White Zetsu but to avoid arousing Madara’s suspicion.
If they failed, and Madara came after them, Tang Ping, despite his rapidly growing strength, wouldn’t have a chance of escaping until he reached the ‘Super Kage’ level.
"Understood!" 4
Seeing Tang Ping’s serious warning, the four nodded in unison.
At least there were no incompetent teammates!
Tang Ping was relieved. If he had a teammate like ‘Naruto,’ he would have wanted to die.
Unexpectedness was key!
In other words, causing chaos and trouble, but only for others, not for themselves.
After making the arrangements, Tang Ping led his two teammates toward the battlefield.
Though it seemed like he spent a lot of time, it was actually just a few minutes. The Leaf ninjas had just begun engaging the Mist ninjas.
However, Tang Ping’s target wasn’t these ordinary Mist ninjas.
The Seven Swordsmen of the Mist!
They were his true objective. Finding them would lead him to the ‘treasure boy,’ and his subsequent plans would rely on them.
For instance, launching a map-wide attack.
He couldn’t just use such a move against ordinary Mist ninjas, could he?
At least, he would need to face the top-tier team and be fully engaged before using his ultimate technique.
Then, when White Zetsu was caught in the blast and ‘destroyed’ due to his inability to dodge, it would seem natural and raise no suspicion.
Soon, Hyuga Aozuki locked onto the target.
By detecting the massive chakra and the number of individuals, it was easy to find them.
However, Aozuki reported an additional piece of information.
They were chasing three genin.
The iconic scene was about to unfold!
Tang Ping hurried, fearing that if he was a step too late, the future ‘King of Taijutsu’ would be gone.
