Chapter 263: Disguise Secret Technique
Yakushi Nonou asked the fox, “When are you going to kill Gui?”
Yoru countered, “What, do you also want Gui to die?”
After hesitating, Yakushi Nonou nodded and said, “Gui is in charge of liaising with the orphanage. As long as he lives, the orphans in the orphanage are not safe.”
“Very good, it seems we now have a common enemy,” Yoru said:
“The elders of Root are the most loyal to Danzo.
The new recruits of Root are all puppets and mission machines controlled by the Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal.
Killing new recruits isn’t very meaningful; killing Gui would be a greater loss for Danzo.
No need to hide it from you. I’m preparing to conduct some experiments on Gui according to Lord Kiiroinu’s instructions, to crack Danzo’s Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal.
The Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal is very troublesome. Once affected, you can’t leak mission contents, which allows Danzo to assign missions without restraint.
Among the elders of Root, Bing follows Danzo closely and won’t carry out missions outside the village.
Gui is the most suitable experimental subject.
If I crack the Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal, those children of yours taken by Root might also have a chance to escape Root.”
“Tha… thank you.”
Yakushi Nonou’s eyes were excited, even unable to control her expression.
Yoru saw Yakushi Nonou’s apple cheeks sliding downward, somewhat terrifying.
Seeing the fox lift a finger to point at her own face, Yakushi Nonou realized her Disguise Secret Jutsu had a problem.
She turned away and removed the damaged disguise.
When she turned back, Yoru saw a gentle face.
Just like in the original work, Yakushi Nonou’s features were gentle and kind.
“Sorry, for letting you see me lose composure.”
Yoru hadn’t expected that saying he would crack the Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal would make Yakushi Nonou so agitated.
“Fox, of the seven children who entered Root, three have already died,” Yakushi Nonou said:
“This month, Root took another three children from the orphanage.
I don’t know how long the orphanage can hold out, I don’t know if I’ll collapse first or if the orphanage will disappear first.
Root’s training is too cruel, only demanding strength, completely ignoring the children’s bodies.
Too cruel… one child, to practice soft jutsu, when he died, his small body turned into a lump…”
She couldn’t say more, couldn’t think more.
No wonder Yakushi Nonou reacted so strongly; it turned out Danzo had gone to the orphanage to pick people again.
Yoru really wanted to persuade Yakushi Nonou to just close the orphanage.
But on second thought, attachments, anchors, bonds—these things can’t be severed.
People all have emotions, even ninjas who kill without batting an eye have emotions.
Yoru didn’t know when it started, but his feelings toward the Uzumaki Remnants had become different.
Maybe it started from the Land of Whirlpools vortex laboratory.
Yuka Uzumaki’s father had given Yoru a great stimulation.
Setting aside the Uzumaki Clan, it was just a father’s final sincere emotion toward his daughter.
Yoru said, “Don’t think that just because I’m infamous in Anbu, I don’t have people I cherish. I understand you.
We are ninjas. Ninjas using any means to achieve their goals is the norm, but any means must have a bottom line.
Catching a child engraved with the Tongue-Cutting Flower Seal is much simpler than catching Gui, but I’m unwilling to catch a child for experiments.
My bottom line is just a little higher than Danzo’s.
I can guarantee you that I absolutely won’t catch children from your orphanage for experiments.”
The witch, who had walked countless times on the edge of danger probing intelligence, whom no intimidation could make lose her composure, was now silently shedding tears.
Yoru looked at the faint starlight outside the cave, sympathizing in his heart with Yakushi Nonou and those orphans.
She cried for over a minute, showing no sign of stopping.
Yoru stepped forward and hugged Yakushi Nonou, who had buried her face in her hands.
“Don’t despair; we still have opportunities.”
Yakushi Nonou’s body trembled noticeably for an instant.
Her forehead was pressed against the fox’s shoulder by him.
This scene, Yoru was already very proficient with; Yuka always leaned on his shoulder like this.
Yoru had one arm around Yakushi Nonou’s back, the other hand gently patting her head.
“When I first met you, your superb deception skills scared me; I didn’t know when you’d harm me.
Now it’s different.
I hope you pull yourself together, for the orphanage, for yourself, don’t give up.
One day if I become Anbu Minister, I absolutely won’t touch any orphans.”
“Mm…”
Yakushi Nonou’s mood improved a bit.
Yoru felt something slippery on his neck; the hand on Yakushi Nonou’s back lifted, scratched his neck, and caught some strange modeling clay.
Yakushi Nonou slightly turned her head and hurriedly said, “Sorry, this is the bionic modeling clay I use for disguise.”
She hurriedly cleaned the modeling clay from beside her ears and neck.
“To change body shape, the modeling clay is one piece, so it’s a bit troublesome…”
Yakushi Nonou pulled at the modeling clay and accidentally tugged out a large piece from her collar, changing even the shape of her shoulders.
The modeling clay even had curves of breast protrusions; Yoru was greatly surprised.
Yakushi Nonou saw the fox look at the modeling clay, then at her chest, with an incredulous expression.
She simply boldly demonstrated her Disguise Secret Jutsu for Yoru.
Removing the one-piece modeling clay, Yakushi Nonou’s clothes were disheveled.
Yoru stepped forward, lightly touching Yakushi Nonou’s skin with his finger: “Covered in modeling clay, your skin is this good? Is it the effect of medical ninjutsu maintenance?”
Yakushi Nonou’s heart beat faster.
Having used countless fake identities in front of countless people, now facing the fox with her true appearance made her feel something unusual in her heart.
She looked at the fox, trying to remove the fox’s mask.
The fox didn’t refuse; beneath the mask was a face wearing a face mask.
Half an hour later.
“In my Disguise Secret Jutsu, the Pelvic Shrink Secret Technique can change body shape. Want to try it?”
“Hm? So tight…”
Yoru suffered defeat after defeat and lost the battle.
After a long while, Yakushi Nonou reshaped her body type with modeling clay.
Yoru cupped Yakushi Nonou’s face and said, “It’s really strange; it feels like all my distrust of you has disappeared.”
“Hmph.” Yakushi Nonou deliberately made a dangerous expression: “You’d better be careful; I might give you fake intelligence, trick you!”
Yakushi Nonou used transformation jutsu to completely become another person. She took out two scrolls, one labeled ‘Left’ and the other ‘Right’.
“These are the scrolls I use to pass intelligence with my offline contact. Each pair is made separately,” Yakushi Nonou said:
“Before, we used codes or the orphanage blackboard to pass intelligence; it was too inefficient.
You take the Right Scroll, I’ll take the Left Scroll.
If I have intelligence, I’ll seal it into the Left Scroll; your Right Scroll can unseal my scroll.”
As expected of the Walking Witch; she indeed had efficient intelligence transmission methods.
In terms of passing intelligence scrolls, this was even a bit faster than Yoru and Yuka’s Stone Panda reverse summoning.
“Good, I understand,” Yoru said. “Help me find information on the Cloud Ninja Main Camp; I have a use for it.”
Yoru planned to end the conflict with Hidden Cloud Village by the end of next month.
Over these two months, Sakumo Hatake had already completed the ninjutsu assessment rewards for genin on the front line, and his prestige was brushed up enough.
If the Cloud Ninja weren’t dealt with soon, it would seem like Sakumo Hatake lacked ability.
Looking at Yakushi Nonou’s back, Yoru suddenly felt like he might have been played by this woman.
He sacrificed his looks, and still had to do work for her, help her deal with Gui.
Yakushi Nonou was indeed a deception master, but… tight was really tight. Whatever, sacrifice is sacrifice.
