Naruto Shadow King Ch 158 : Hidden Water Fall
🕑 Added 2024-12-17 06:53:42 +0000 UTCShika opened the portal for everyone, for the sake of keeping the location of this base secret, he can't let anyone leave here on their own. He kept this location so secret that no one knew besides Karin, as she was responsible for recuring rations and other necessary things, that the camp was in the land of Snow.
Shika's knowledge of the Naruto world was very much tied to the anime, besides that he hardly knew about the geographical, political and power structure of the ninja world.
He had tried learning as much as he could in his free time but it clearly wasn't enough. For the time being, he just follows the knowledge he had as a transmigrator and relies on it. He has changed the story a lot, but not to the degree that all of his future knowledge was useless.
Knowing that the Akatsuki's base was near the country of Rain, he strictly orders others to avoid getting close. It didn't help that Country of Rain share a border with Country of Fire.
For the time being, he asked others to completely avoid these two places. It was because of the risk involved and the lack of manpower that he had to do it.
Not to mention, Naruto being the Nine Tail Jinchuriki, he technically should be the last one to be targeted by Akatsuki.
'I can't remember it well but I believe that they had to capture them in order and feed them to the Nine Tail Husk in order to rejuvenate Ten Tails.
Thus, he sent the three teams to The Country of Rock, the Country of Lightning and the Country of Wind, while he was planning to go to The Country of Water.
Some might say, that sending Suigetsu and Haku there would be more constructive but he knew better.
Akatsuki had to delay their plans in the cannon due to Yagura's death, the fourth Mizukage ending up dying and with him gone were the three tails. If not for this, the war would have started in the pre-Shippuden timeline.
Now knowing that the Shippuden Timeline is very close, there is a possibility that three tails must have reformed, at least he believes so.
As for where he will be reformed, well he has no idea. He hasn't paid enough attention when he was watching the anime to remember which lake Akatsuki found that turtle.
That is why Shika had to go there himself. Though he wasn't sure but the possibility of Three Tails reforming in the land of water was the greatest.
Not to mention, if he really were to find the Biju then he would be the only one who stood a chance at either capturing it, or even better asking him to help out.
However, before going to the land of water, there are other places he has to go. Three Tail being reformed somewhere in the land of water was just an educational guess on his part. For that guess, he can't let the targets slip out which are right in front of him.
"Karin... stay here, make sure you keep up with your training and be ready for any emergency. If you get any message for help or for any other regards from others, notify me at once." Shika himself was now ready to depart.
Karin was his partner, like how he arranged everyone in Akatsuki-style pairs, but that was mostly in just name. Karin wasn't strong enough to assign to any team, let alone come with him. The best job for her was to manage the base and be stationed here. In case anyone gets injured, she could be invaluable if Shika himself was present for some reason.
"Wait, you are going as well. What I'm supposed to do here all alone ?" Karin whined, not wanting to be left alone here. Though it was only a year, but the companionship had grown with her.
She didn't want to be left alone.
"You don't have to stay here all the time. As long as you are disguised, you can go out and enjoy the land of snow. It shouldn't be a problem with your current strength.
"But I would prefer if you stay here as much as possible. I know it's lonely but it's safe and someone has to look after the base as well..." Shika let out a sigh, he could see her unwillingness but what could he do? They are still lacking manpower for something like this.
"Okay..." Karin wanted to deny but upon seeing that she had no other option, she reluctantly agreed, the fact that he let her go out alone was enough leeway for her.
"Good, then see you later..." Shika smiled as he raised his padded on her shoulder, in all this time, he came to see her as a sister of sort. Younger sister even though she was kinda older than him by a few years.
And with that said, his Rinnegan came to life and a portal opened up, connecting the land of Snow to the land of water.
"Byee..." He smiled and waved his hand, entering the portal.

[Somewhere in the Elemental Nation]
[Shika POV]
The portal opened and the first thing I saw was nature. I was completely surrounded by it, even after being from Konoha, I still wasn't used to this. I only stayed in Konoha for over a year after all.
'I wonder whether I'm even in the right place. Never been here so, I could be wrong.
The possibility of that particular mission being filler but still I should have asked Sasuke how to get there.' Sighed.
I looked around and took a deep breath in, my lungs filling with fresh air. This feeling was similar yet different from Konoha.
While Konoha was just a forest, this place was a mixture of forest and water bodies. Many river tributaries run across this land and thus many natural waterfalls forms here. Giving an earthy and moist feeling to the air.
It was sure better than the chilly air of the land of snow.
'So, now that my inner environmentalist is satisfied, I have to find a way to get to her.' I muttered, almost grumbling.
There are many hidden villages in this world, but if there is one who is really hidden then this one has to be it.
Currently, I am in the land of hidden waterfall, looking for Takigakure, The Hidden Waterfall Village.
As for why look for a minor, almost non-canon village with little to no significance out of the blue? Well, becuase this bloody hidden village has a Jinchuriki for some reason.
I have no idea how the hell they even could afford to have one when those big villages fight tooth and nail to get a Biju for themselves. Maybe that's why they have such strict hidden policies.
Maybe?
Whatever might be the case though, I have to find the Jinchuriki here, if I'm not wrong then her name should be Fuu and secure her safety, if possible bring her along.
"And to do that, I first have to look for this hidden village...Sigh."
I made a hand sign almost instantly my shadow deformed and from it came out thousands and of rabbits.
"Woh, are you guys going fucking like rabbits or what..."
I exclaimed at their numbers to which most of them looked to me like I was an idiot.
"Sorry... I know, I just couldn't stop myself....hehe..." That wasn't a good joke but whatever.
"Go around, I need any track of a hidden village here." I said, now serious when commanding them.
And upon hearing my command, like a bolt of lightning has blasted, all of them flash away like they were Minato Namikaze themselves.
In reality, they were very fast, the fastest among the shikigami I had. Though had little to no fighting power, but they were great at wide-area search, distraction and escape.
"Alright... so with that said, let's take to the sky and get an eagle-eye look from up there...Nue..." I muttered to myself and formed another hand and just like earlier, my shadow was summoned and from there came a giant bird.
It was three times as big as me, to which even I was astonished. It has been a long time since I summoned my Shikigami, mostly didn't had to see I was more focused on getting stronger myself in the last year and not working with my Shikigami.
"Woh, dude what's going on? You are huge..." I can't deny, I was taken aback by the sudden difference.
If earlier I dismissed the quantity of the rabbits as a fluke then now I got suspicious.
'Could it be that my chakra got stronger in the last year so that now my Shikigami are stronger as well ?' I can't help but thought to myself.
"By the way, sorry for the lightning restriction. I had to use a binding vow back then..." I remembered suddenly and apologised.
Over time, I have realized that they weren't just mindless beasts or some non-animated puppets. They had their intelligence. They could understand me at least.
"Wack..." The giant Nue shirked and flapped his wings, the three-meter wing span was enough to generate enough air to push even me back.
For comparison, back on earth, the tallest man was only 2.5 meters at best. Over a 3-meter wing span was enormous.
Though the beast can't speak, but by his antics alone I could say he wasn't happy.
"Sorry sorry, but really, it was a necessity, it's either that or bring that monster out..." I said, and like instinctively knowing whom I was talking about the giant bird with human-like face shivered.
"Okay, lets get to the skies, I have a hidden village to find..."
