Chapter 222: Fujito Hidden Realm
Copper Fox is skilled in Earth Release, Water Style, and Sealing Jutsu, and has also used Wind Release a little, which is something known to Konoha High Command.
When assassinating a Special Jonin from one of the Five Great Clans, using Earth Release and Water Style would very likely lead to suspicion.
His advantage lies in obtaining increasingly comprehensive abilities through the system.
He can create a new identity.
The new identity will completely avoid using Earth Release, Water Style, and Sealing Jutsu, focusing mainly on other abilities.
After supplementing Lightning Release, it will mainly use Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, and Taijutsu. In this way, others will absolutely be unable to suspect him.
He can even sometimes mix in some dojutsu and genjutsu to disrupt perceptions, adding intensity against the Five Great Clans.
You all get the benefits, leaving others to eat dirt—how can that be?
Time passed day by day, and Yoru kept collecting intelligence on the Five Great Clans.
One day, Yoru came to the dense forest on Hokage Rock, activated Byakugan, set up an Earth Movement Barrier, confirmed no one was around, and then summoned Bai Ci and Bai You.
He found Yuka Uzumaki and told her his plan.
“Yuka, I got some intelligence. A Special Jonin from the Shimura Clan is currently on a mission in the Land of Grass.
Next month, he will return to Konoha to take the Jonin Promotion Exam.
Yuka, select elites from the Uzumaki Clan, go to the Land of Grass to find him.
After finding him, don’t make a move yourselves. At night, reverse summon me, and I’ll handle it to avoid exposing you.”
Yuka Uzumaki said eagerly: “For revenge against Danzo Shimura, how can we stand by? Fox, you just provide the intelligence, we’ll make the move!”
Yoru shook his head: “No, listen to me. You’re too vulnerable.
Once exposed, the Uzumaki Clan members who’ve finally hidden away will face annihilation.
I’m different; I have a way to hide my identity.
I’m most familiar with Leaf Ninja—you know that. Striking at our own with intelligence advantage.
You just need to help me find him, reverse summon me at midnight, and I’ll handle the rest.”
After returning to the village, Yoru began hardship cultivation.
Since crossing here, he’d been waiting for system rewards and unwilling to train hard.
This matter was crucial, so this time he trained extremely seriously.
During the day, while hiding in the tree canopy on surveillance missions, he simultaneously trained his arm strength and grip strength.
At night, after surveillance missions ended, he practiced Taijutsu at a remote training ground in Konoha.
With Byakugan’s help, he could precisely control chakra flow in his body, making Taijutsu training more efficient.
He also secretly expanded the izakaya’s wine cellar, modifying it into a hidden underground training ground.
Each time, when no one was monitoring the izakaya, he secretly moved the earth far away, then reinforced the basement walls with Earth Release.
After the underground training ground was built, he planned to ask Yuka for some barrier techniques to prevent others from discovering his underground training ground.
The second identity, that is, his sub-account, would temporarily focus on Fire Release and Taijutsu.
Fire attribute was his fourth attribute; training Fire Release to a practical level was no different from a right-hander practicing writing with the left hand.
For Hatake Zhaoda, for the Uzumaki Clan, Yoru was racking his brains.
Tsuruzuki Izakaya’s wine cellar was getting larger and larger.
For an izakaya, having a large underground wine cellar wasn’t excessive.
There was a hidden door in the back wall of the wine cellar, and behind the hidden door was Yoru’s private underground training ground.
The underground training ground was about 60 square meters.
Not large, but enough for Taijutsu and ninjutsu training.
One night, Yoru sensed the contract chakra prompt.
With Byakugan, leaving Konoha via reverse summoning was more convenient and less likely to expose him.
When he arrived beside Yuka, Yoru found the surroundings weren’t rainy.
He had appeared in the Land of Grass.
Beside Yuka Uzumaki, there were two Whirlpool Ninja.
“Fox, do you remember them? They are the former Daimyo Guardian Ninja you rescued from the Root Laboratory in the Land of Whirlpools: Gencho Uzumaki and Kaicho Uzumaki.”
Gencho Uzumaki and Kaicho Uzumaki had long wanted to meet the Konoha spy who saved them.
Lurking in Konoha was extremely dangerous; they wouldn’t appear easily. Seeing the Konoha Anbu wearing the Fox Mask, the two were excited.
“Thank you for saving us brothers from that bloody laboratory; every day there was torment.”
Yoru said: “It’s what I should do. After all, you and I are connected by bloodline.”
Yoru thought to himself, my bloodline is a half-baked one picked up midway, so he felt a bit guilty compared to the real thing.
Kaicho Uzumaki and the others had heard Yuka talk about Fox’s exploits; after the Uzumaki Clan Annihilation, he provided all sorts of tightrope-walking help, so they trusted Fox greatly now.
Yoru said: “Be extremely cautious; don’t rush into revenge. Our enemy is Konoha High Command; we must be careful above all, the path to revenge is long—we can’t hurry.”
Yuka Uzumaki and the others nodded repeatedly.
“Yuka, I’m here this time first to check your progress and warn you not to rush in.
Second, to ask if the Uzumaki Clan has any barriers that isolate others’ probing and sensing.
I’ve made a small underground base inside Konoha Village and don’t want others to discover it.”
Yuka Uzumaki first shared the intelligence they’d scouted: the Shimura Clan Special Jonin was in Kyoto of the Land of Grass. They’d notify Fox as soon as he left Kyoto.
Then, Yuka formed hand seals and summoned the Scroll of Seals.
This was a legacy technique created based on the Uzumaki Clan Elder’s accumulations, supplemented by techniques from other Whirlpool Ninja.
After searching the table of contents, Yuka Uzumaki said:
“For an underground base, there’s this Sealing Barrier called Vine Earth Hidden Realm, developed jointly by Uzumaki Clan Elders and the Senju Clan back then.
It uses vines to disguise the underground space as natural plant roots, isolating reconnaissance and sensing.”
After learning this Sealing Barrier, Yoru reverse summoned away.
He returned to the izakaya’s underground training room and spent two days arranging vines around the basement, drawing curse marks on the vines to complete the Vine Earth Hidden Realm.
From then on, he would practice ninjutsu and Taijutsu in this underground training room.
More than ten days later, around 4 a.m. one night, Yoru suddenly opened his eyes.
He sensed the Stone Panda Clan’s contract chakra.
He rolled out of bed from beside Qiao Yi, and Yoru quickly used Earth Release to burrow into the underground training room.
After summoning Bai Ci and Bai You, Bai Ci said: “Lady Yuka says she found the target!”
Yoru nodded, had Bai You return to beside Yuka first, then used reverse summoning.
Yoru appeared outside Kyoto in the Land of Grass.
He saw Yuka and the other two prone in the tall pasture and crouched down too.
He saw hundreds of tents in the distance, forming a massive camp.
Yuka Uzumaki said excitedly: “Fox, I got the intelligence. The Shimura Clan Special Jonin will return to Konoha Village at dawn today.
The Daimyo of the Land of Grass’s Guardian Jonin is from the Shimura Clan.
The target, as a young elite of the Shimura Clan, is here helping his clan’s Guardian Jonin control Kyoto of the Land of Grass.
Just as you said, he’s about to take the Jonin Promotion Exam, so he’ll leave Kyoto at dawn tomorrow.”
