Chapter 196 The Art of Image Transformation

Naruto left Mount Myōboku after hearing a strange prophecy.

Although he wanted to ask the Great Toad Sage more questions, Naruto wasn't the type to force things if there was no other way.

So after leaving Mount Myōboku, he followed Killer Bee, who had been brought back by Jiraiya, and went to Turtle Island in the Land of Lightning according to the predetermined route, preparing to train to fully master the Nine-Tails.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya returned to Konoha carrying the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

"Chiyu... many Chiyu, what does that mean?"

After listening to Jiraiya's explanation, Tsunade was particularly concerned about this point: "Could it be that Senba will split into many versions of himself like the Slug Sage?"

"Are you thinking of splitting apart like a slug? Slug, slug..."

Jiraiya thought carefully about the slug's division.

There are three sacred sites in the spiritual world, among which Shikkotsu Forest is different from Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave.

If Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave are the territories of toads and snakes respectively, then Shikkotsu Forest is the personal territory of the Slug Sage.

The entire Wet Bone Forest was made up of slug bodies.

This unique characteristic means that those who sign a psychic contract with Shikkotsu Forest will always summon a split version of a slug, only summoning slugs of different sizes depending on their needs.

Inspired by this, Jiraiya continued to expand his thoughts: "The Slug Sage's splitting was driven by a need, so the Thousand Feathers' splitting was also driven by a need? Akatsuki is still missing something? The Akatsuki organization... wait!"

Jiraiya suddenly had an idea. He looked at Tsunade, who was also looking at him.

The two men, who knew each other very well, exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Military strength!"

"That's it, manpower!" Jiraiya nodded emphatically: "An organization like Akatsuki doesn't lack high-level combat power, but it lacks manpower! A small village like Amegakure is inherently disadvantaged and cannot cultivate a force capable of fighting against the Five Great Shinobi Villages!"

"But does that mean that Chiyu would have to split into tens of thousands of individuals to offset the Allied Shinobi Forces' numerical advantage?"

Jiraiya found it hard to believe: "Can a human do something like this? Splitting into tens of thousands of individuals? Let alone tens of thousands, even Naruto couldn't create ten thousand shadow clones, right?"

"I don't know!" Tsunade's expression was equally grave.

From a purely rational perspective, she also felt that this was something no human could do.

But if it's Chiyu...

Tsunade recalled the time when she taught Chiba the Yin Seal and medical ninjutsu.

She learns things quickly, even without explanation, if it were Chiyu...

"We can't be careless!" Tsunade tapped the table and looked at Jiraiya.

Noticing Tsunade's gaze, Jiraiya initially shrank back, but immediately realized he had nowhere to retreat, so he gave a wry smile.

"Looks like I can't escape it?" Jiraiya said helplessly.

"Nonsense!" Tsunade glared at Jiraiya. "Right now, you're the most free person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village. And you're also a master at petty theft. No one is more suitable than you!"

"Alright!" Jiraiya rubbed his forehead. "What do you want me to do?"

"I will give you the Red Squad. You will not have any rank in the front-line ninja army. You will only have one goal!"

Tsunade's words were resolute: "That means finding Chiba and finding out the truth about this matter!"

"Leave it to me!" Jiraiya said mischievously; "I'll stake my name as the author of 'Make-Out Paradise' on finding beauties—that's my specialty!"

"Hmph!" Looking at the comical Jiraiya, Tsunade snorted lightly, unusually not giving him any attitude: "Ah, then I'll leave it to you!"

With Hinata, Kiba, and Shino by his side, Jiraiya embarked on a journey to find Chiba.

Seeing this scene through the live stream, in the Land of Rain, beneath the Gedo Mazo, Qian Yu raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise: "I never expected that my actions could be predicted by the Great Toad Sage."

"This toad, which is from the same era as the Six Paths, is indeed no ordinary toad."

"It's a bit late that they're only starting to contact me now."

Chiyu looked at the vast space in front of her, where nearly 100,000 white Zetsu hung at the base of the Gedo Mazo, swaying slightly like leaves.

A gust of wind blew from an unknown direction, and the pure white Zetsu, with their lifeless eyes, drifted slightly, instantly creating a chilling atmosphere.

Qianyu rubbed her smooth forearms, which were covered in goosebumps: "Everyone says that looks are a form of fighting power. I didn't think so before, but now that I see White Zetsu, it's true!"

"What do you think, Ms. Hikari?"

Qianyu looked to her side.

The camera in the live stream followed Qianyu's gaze.

Suddenly, a girl with waist-length hair, wearing a female version of the Uchiha's high-collared robe, a brown headband, the hairstyle of Uchiha Madara, the face of Sasuke, and a pure temperament, but with a heavy expression, just like Sasuke three years ago, appeared before everyone.

Light

In terms of appearance alone, Uchiha Hikari is at most pretty, but for some reason, she is a very memorable person.

What's more, Uchiha Hikaru was currently shining with a pair of kaleidoscopes with three boomerangs interlocked and arranged in a triangular pattern!

kaleidoscope

Even without Qianyu's explanation, the viewers in the live stream immediately understood.

"A new Uchiha?"

"No, it should be a new kaleidoscope!"

"But aren't all the Uchiha clan members dead?"

"So it's obvious that this is someone Black Zetsu dug up from somewhere!"

"Just now Jiraiya and Tsunade were discussing the splitting of the Thousand Feathers, could it be..."

"It shouldn't be wrong, it's the one you were thinking of! Isn't it amazing, the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique!"

The audience, who had roughly guessed what Qianyu was going to do next, perked up.

The drowsiness that had arisen from the previously boring plot instantly dissipated, and countless people focused intently on the live stream screen.

At this moment, Uchiha Hikari, whom Chiyu called Miss Hikari, was clearly still caught up in the past and was still acting arrogantly: "I told you, don't call me Miss Hikari! Do you think we're that close, woman? I am a weapon!"

"Yes, yes, you are a weapon, Miss Nameless!"

"And don't call me 'Miss'!"

"Good good!"

Looking at Uchiha Hikaru, who resembled a little hedgehog, Chiba raised her hand in a French military salute.

That's the downside of the Uchiha clan. When they're not familiar with someone, they're incredibly aloof and arrogant, making even normal conversation impossible.

However, the advantage is equally obvious: once the outer shell is pried open, the inside becomes soft.

Chiyu felt she had experience in this area.

Uchiha Hikaru had no idea what presumptuous things Chiba was thinking.

Although she had never seen a triple affirmation to negation before, she felt that Chiyu's attitude was a bit strange, but she didn't say anything.

After giving Chiyu a disgruntled glare, Uchiha Hikaru wrinkled his nose and looked at the White Zetsu army in front of him, which seemed to be a kaleidoscope made of three boomerangs emitting red light.

Then, as if in response, the foreheads of the 100,000 White Zetsu also lit up with the shape of the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan.

That is Uchiha Hikaru's eye technique—Eight Thousand Spears!

Having confirmed that the channel marked by the Eight Thousand Spears was genuine and the signal was clear, Uchiha Hikaru nodded in satisfaction: "Let's begin, woman!"

"Okay, Ms. Hikari, get ready, I'm coming in!"

Qianyu formed hand seals: "Forbidden Technique: Transformation Technique!"
