Chapter 581: Successful Tracking!
Chapter 581: Successful Tracking!
A few days later.
Behind the waterfall at the back of the Leaf Village Hokage Rock! Jiraiya brought Naruto here for 'special training'.
"Imagine the power within you, release it, and use your body to find the trick!"
Looking at Naruto in front of him, Jiraiya was determined.
As a Jinchuriki, if he couldn't control the tailed beast's power within him, he might become a tool of war.
"But I haven't learned it yet!"
Naruto looked bewildered.
During this time, although he had learned the Summoning Technique from Jiraiya and realized that there was another source of chakra within him, he had never successfully used it.
With the semifinals approaching, he was running out of time.
"No, you'll get it right away!"
Jiraiya shook his head, then placed his finger on Naruto's forehead protector, causing it to pop out.
Whoosh! Chakra blasted Naruto away several dozen meters.
"Ah!"
Naruto screamed.
There was no way, as the waterfall's side crevasse was directly below him.
The bottom was too deep to see, and the only thing visible were the densely packed, spike-like stone pillars on both sides of the several dozen meter wide crevice.
Whoosh! Naruto fell towards the bottom of the crevice.
He didn't know any flying ninjutsu like Peacock Mystic Method or Flame Cloak.
If he really crashed to the bottom, there was no way out.
In this regard, Jiraiya was truly ruthless, leaving no room for survival.
If Naruto didn't pass this hurdle, dying here would be a decent choice.
It can be said that ninjas are indeed calm enough, even to the point of being cold-blooded.
Boom! Boom!
Naruto's heart raced faster as he fell at high speed.
He had already tried to save himself just now.
But there was no way to grab onto the smooth stone pillars; if he didn't think of a solution, he would die here.
His eyes began to look dazed, and a beastly aura emanated from him.
Below, hidden under a stone pillar, were two people and a red crystal coffin.
Tang Ping and Izumi, along with Hong Lian inside the red crystal coffin.
"He's here!"
Izumi spoke up as a reminder.
They had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.
Not only was Tang Ping busy every day, but Hyuga Tsukimi and Karin were also secretly monitoring Jiraiya.
That's why they were able to precisely lock onto the opportunity and arrive here early to wait.
"Act when the target appears!"
Tang Ping looked at the falling Naruto and spoke up.
If Wendou appeared, things would be fine.
The biggest fear was an accident, like a failed summoning or someone rescuing Naruto early.
Fortunately, such an accident didn't happen.
At the critical moment, Naruto successfully mastered the immense tailed beast chakra within him.
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"
After biting his finger, he pressed into the void.
Boom! A massive white mist appeared below.
Whoosh! Izumi immediately disappeared from Tang Ping's side.
She was following the 'Stillwater' route, and her mastery of the Teleportation Technique was evident; in the blink of an eye, she had already arrived in front of Wendou.
When Wendou realized the danger he was in, his first reaction was to extend his frog hands to both sides.
Boom! Boom!
The enormous body, weighing several dozen to over a hundred tons, had an unimaginable weight due to inertia, even breaking the stone pillars one by one before finally stabilizing and stopping his descent.
Fortunately, Wendou wasn't an ordinary toad; if he were, his frog palm might have broken long ago.
"Self..."
Just as Wendou was about to speak, he saw a pair of blood-red, four-cornered windmill-like eyes.
"Byakugan: Radiance!"
Izumi used this Byakugan ability.
This was a lower version of Hetenshin, but the advantage was that the consumption wasn't as exaggerated, and there was no cooldown time. It was a Byakugan ability that Izumi had barely managed to use after several months of exploration.
Wendou's toad eyes instantly became dazed.
Whether it was a tailed beast or another large summoning beast, as long as their spiritual... or Yin Release prowess wasn't strong, they would only be playthings of the Byakugan illusion.
Even a tailed beast couldn't withstand the illusion, and although Wendou could physically fight with Ichibi, it didn't mean he could withstand it.
If it were the two sages, Shima and Fukasaku, they might have been able to resist this illusion, but Wendou, with his powerful physical strength and spiritual strength not much stronger than an average ninja, was instantly affected.
It was no wonder that the Uchiha clan took pride in the Sharingan, as a single glance could take down such a large summoning beast.
Even with such an overpowered bloodline limit, anyone would react this way.
Naruto, who was still falling from above, didn't notice that his descent had slowed, and the mist around him was much denser.
Stomp!
Tang Ping dragged the red crystal coffin to Wendou's face and directly entered his mouth.
That's right!
Hong Lian was going to be placed inside the opponent's body, and it didn't stop there.
In advance, the Hakudatsu, which had been processed with illusions, would wrap the red crystal coffin and Wendou's flesh, causing them to be seen as one.
Gurgle!
The Hakudatsu quickly 'melted', fusing the crystal coffin and flesh together.
If they weren't fused together, Wendou would have noticed something amiss.
Wouldn't this intelligent summoning beast, no weaker than humans, sense the anomaly within its body?
The entire process was frighteningly fast. From the time Tang Ping entered Wendou's body with the solidified crystal coffin to his departure, less than half a minute had passed.
Once he emerged, Izumi immediately followed suit and retreated.
They had prepared for more than half a month, but the entire operation took less than that.
This is the way of ninjas! Efficient and swift in action.
The infiltration plan had sown its seeds.
Next, they just needed to wait for Wendou to return to Mystical Wood Mountain, and then Tenkudo could begin the positioning.
The large barriers Tang Ping had set up outside also vanished without a trace.
Throughout the process, Konoha's chakra monitoring barriers didn't react at all, as if they hadn't noticed their actions.
It must be said that if Uzumaki Water had been maintaining and improving the barriers, Tang Ping wouldn't have been able to pull off these tricks.
But the current barriers were so poorly maintained that Konoha struggled to keep them functioning.
It's not that the sealing technique data and ninjutsu were lost, but rather, ninjas with talent in this area were hard to find and cultivate.
Not right!
It should be said that Konoha wasn't paying enough attention, and their cultivation methods weren't up to par.
In the past, the Uzumaki Clan was responsible for sealing techniques, and the Hokage Lineage was in charge of cultivation. This is evident as all three Sanin are proficient in sealing techniques.
The problem is that ordinary ninjas have no way to learn sealing techniques.
Only when their strength improves can they access sealing technique-related information.
But even then, who would spend their time and energy researching sealing techniques when ninjutsu is so much more appealing?
At Tenkudo, sealing techniques are taught as a basic course in the Ninja Academy.
With talent or interest, one can receive specialized training in this field from a young age.
So, it's not surprising that Konoha's new generation lacks strong sealers.
Next, Tang Ping and Izumi naturally wouldn't stay.
Although they were confident Jiraiya wouldn't discover them, he was, after all, a top-tier powerhouse with vast experience. To avoid unexpected situations, it was best to minimize their actions.
After returning to their resting place, Tang Ping immediately got to work.
The barrier and materials he had set up in the underground room had already been transformed into an altar, adorned with countless runes.
Among them were many inspirations derived from studying the Byakugan obtained from Kakashi's eye.
Spatial Rules!
Even a little knowledge in this area could have a significant impact.
If not for this kind of harvest, obtaining the location of Mystical Wood Mountain wouldn't have been easy.
One prerequisite for using spatial abilities is 'positioning,' just like how the Thunder God Technique requires 'spatial awareness.' In essence, it's also a positioning ability.
So, it's not strange for Tang Ping to research and develop positioning abilities from the Byakugan of the White Eye Wolf.
In the center of the altar was a giant crystal ball.
After more than an hour...
The crystal ball lit up.
Positioning!
Since they couldn't make big moves to avoid alerting Mystical Wood Mountain and the Toad Sage, the process would take some time.
It would take at least a day or two to get results.
Next, Tenkudo's entire army set out.
Airships, terrain effect vehicles, carrying flying squadrons, supply materials, and ninja troops departed.
With prior preparation, they perfectly blocked all information.
At the very least, no one would be able to easily gather intelligence.
