Chapter 655 : A Walking Morgue!
🕑 Added 2024-05-31 15:44:36 +0000 UTCFujin analyzed, ‘Unfortunately, neither of their abilities are easy to gain… Misumi's body was surgically modified by Orochimaru to allow him to dislocate his joints to fit into any space… He was one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects, one of his earliest ones before Orochimaru modified his own body…
So, replicating him will be stupid. If I want to replicate, then I should directly replicate what Orochimaru has done instead of this Genin. Unfortunately, even though Kabuto has quite extensive knowledge about body modifications, he doesn't have a lot of it considering how little time he spent with Orochimaru… Perhaps I should have just marked him and killed him after he spent some time with Orochimaru…’
Fujin sighed. Even though he had received a lot of useful knowledge from Kabuto's memories, he couldn't help but want more. However, he quickly shook his head and thought, ‘No, my timing was accurate. If I had some guarantees that the future wouldn't change, I would have done that. However, who knows how Hiruzen and Orochimaru's battle will go here…
Besides, I'm not too keen on body modifications in any case. At least not right now. So it isn't exactly a loss. If I feel a need later on, I'll just capture someone with Orochimaru's curse seal, extract Orochimaru from him or her and read Orochimaru's memories directly.
Regardless, the one whose ability intrigued me more was Yoroi… To be able to absorb the chakra of other people. If I can generalize it and make it usable in other circumstances, then his ability could be incredibly broken. It'd be like the difference between Kisame without Samehada and Kisame with Samehada.
Unfortunately, his ability is even more difficult to replicate. Unlike Misumi, no experiments were conducted on him. Instead, the chakra points on his palms were naturally mutated such that he could absorb chakra from other ninjas on contact.
However, there are various limits on his ability. The biggest limit is that he can only absorb chakra from someone's body. He can't absorb chakra from jutsu like how the Rinnegan and Samehada can. In addition, he can only absorb it from his palms since only those chakra points are mutated.
To make matters worse, his speed of chakra absorption is very low. Against a rank S ninja, that ability is more or less a waste. And, he can't absorb Nature chakra with his ability…’
Fujin fell into deep thought. He analyzed, ‘Even though this ability seemed overpowered at first glance, it isn't that special after considering all the limitations. If I can get it, the only use of this ability would be that I could use other friendly or captured ninjas as chakra batteries in between fights or training. Handy for sure, but not too useful in the middle of a fight.
If I can modify it to absorb the chakra from my Wind Domain back, then it could be game-changing for my Wind Domain. I could freely put more chakra into my Wind Domain without the fear of running out of chakra. As for Nature chakra, I'll have to see it after Ryu teaches me Senjutsu.
Anyway, all that is if I can gain this ability… A natural mutation in chakra points. Not something I can learn or copy. Thankfully, Kabuto did extensive research on him. Even though he didn't succeed in replicating it, he reached very close. If he could have opened up Yoroi's hands and studied them, he would have succeeded…’
Fujin let out a sigh and muttered, “I'll have to carry another dead body with me now…”
On the river bank, the Anbu kunoichis left after trying to look for the peeper unsuccessfully for around half an hour. A couple of minutes after they left, Jiraiya climbed out of the ground. His face and clothes were covered in mud.
He cursed, “What a devious brat! I nearly died! His first move made me think that he wanted to attack me directly. However, his real target was those bushes all along. Due to the suddenness of his attack, I wasn't able to anticipate that he wanted those ladies to attack me instead! Normally, that wouldn't have been an issue, but their attack was too quick and ruthless…”
Even though Jiraiya said so, there wasn't a single scratch on his body. He thought, ‘It looks like approaching him in an unconventional way wouldn't work. I'll have to talk with him directly.
In the Hokage's office, Ibiki arrived hurriedly and reported, “Lord Hokage, we have finished reading the important parts of everyone's memories. We have the information we were looking for. The Yamanaka ninjas are still reading their memories to get the finer details, but that will take a while.”
Ibiki placed a few files on Hiruzen's desk. Hiruzen said, “Good work, Ibiki. Continue doing what you are.”
Ibiki nodded and quickly left. Hiruzen turned his gaze towards Shikaku and said, “It's time to start.”
Shikaku grabbed a file and immediately got to work. While he did, Hiruzen called Eagle and ordered him to keep as many Anbu squads on standby as he could.
In the land of Fire, two ninjas were running continuously. They were both wearing Konoha's headband and covering a majority of their faces with masks. One of them was wearing black sunglasses while the other was wearing spectacles.
The one with the sunglasses said, “Misumi, why do you think Lord Orochimaru asked us to leave the village yesterday?”
Misumi thought for a bit and said, “It's difficult to understand Lord Orochimaru's thought process. But I have a feeling that it has something to do with Kabuto. Perhaps Lord Orochimaru no longer requires spies inside Konoha. Or maybe our cover was about to be blown.”
Yoroi replied, “Yeah, that is probably the case. I wonder what our job will be in the Land of Sound now.”
Misumi replied, “No matter what it is, we can't disappoint Lord Orochimaru.”
Yoroi smirked and said, “Of course, we can't let Kabuto hog all the light. Sooner or later, I'll replace him as Lord Orochimaru's right hand!”
“Oh, you'll replace him for sure. Just not as Orochimaru's right hand.” Yoroi and Misumi froze as they felt a pat on their backs and heard a taunting voice. Both recognized the voice and thought, ‘Hatake Kakashi?’
They wanted to turn around and face him, but their bodies didn't listen to their mind and stayed frozen. Both immediately realized that a Self Cursing Seal had been placed on them.
Before they could think or realize something else, two lightning-charged senbon needles pierced through their hearts and killed them. Fujin stored their bodies while thinking, ‘I just wanted Yoroi's body, but there is no harm in studying Misumi's body either.’
From Kabuto's memories, Fujin knew where the two of them stayed. He also knew that Orochimaru had instructed them to leave the village. So, he had sent a Shadow Clone to keep an eye on them and waited for both of them to be far away from Konoha so that Orochimaru would be confused even more about who was targeting his spies. And, he disguised as Kakashi once again so that Orochimaru would suspect Kakashi in case he managed to reanimate them.
After storing their bodies properly and eliminating all traces of their death at that location, Fujin teleported a few times to reach back to his house.
Since he didn't have anything to do, Fujin let his clones continue their training and left to overlook Naruto's training personally while thinking with a smirk on his face, ‘I wonder if Jiraiya will show up normally or whether he'll still try any other shit.’
At around 7:30 in the evening, Naruto finally managed to use the Infinite Breakthrough jutsu successfully ten times in a row. He looked at Fujin and said, “Fujin! I succee…”
Before he could complete his words, his body ran out of energy and he fell to the ground while breathing heavily. Fujin smiled and thought, ‘So he does have a limit. I thought he might train through the night like he did while learning Multi Shadow Clone jutsu.’
Fujin walked towards him and said, “Good job, Naruto. Tomorrow I'll teach you how to supercharge this jutsu.”
Naruto smiled and said while breathing heavily, “I did it!”
Fujin chuckled and asked, “Want to go to Ichiraku?”
If he had any energy, he would have jumped up in joy. Instead, he only nodded his head. Fujin picked him up and flickered to Ichiraku. At the same time, his clones asked his students to go to Ichiraku as well. Since they trained extremely hard, Fujin let his students and Naruto have a blast to end the day.
As they walked back to Fujin's compound, Fujin suddenly stopped and said, “You guys go ahead. Rest well tonight. Training will begin early tomorrow morning.”
The kids immediately rushed forward. Standing alone in an alley, Fujin said with a hint of amusement in his voice, “To what do I owe the pleasure, Jiraiya the Gallant?”

No
Devil Hex
Yeah, some movies. I'll need to watch them once again though 😅
Devil Hex
Had just planned before reading your comment last chapter 😅 Both our speculations were exactly the same :)
Kelevra
Haven’t read the chapter yet. Only read the first few lines. I just wanna know about Misumi and his abilities. Was that original plan or did my comment last chapter have influence? 👀👀
rain
are you including movie stuff in the future? i know the first naruto movie happens after sasuke wakes up from his coma, but that doesnt coincide with manga canon since the anime fucked up the order of when sasuke leaves and fights naruto... also, stone of gelel will probably be very useful to fujin.

I can bear losing Hiruzen's interactions with Fujin only if Jiraiya is who are we going to mess with

The Clift hanger 😭. Is there another powerful one that is willing to sponsor a chapter?
