I established the Kua Kua Cult in Naruto

Chapter 121 People should look forward, because the life they look back on is all failure.

"Tatsuma-kun, I leave the downstream sensing work to you."

In the Kingdom of Rain, in the rainforest where the sun never sees the light of day, a group of ninjas gather around a river to provide supplies and to scout the surrounding environment.

In the eyes of some people who are afraid of dogs, the dogs that keep barking remain quiet at this time. Even when they drop their paws, they will be careful, and the fleshy pads next to their paws ensure that they will make no sound when stepping on wet fallen leaves. .

These ninja dogs are constantly sniffing the surrounding smells, and you can even see a humanized frown and thoughtful expression on the dogs' faces, as if they are trying to distinguish the type and source of the smell.

Next to each ninja dog, there is a ninja from the Inuzuka clan, lying next to the ninja dog, doing the same movements as the ninja dog. Ninjas are like dogs, and dogs are like ninjas. This can only be seen in this clan.

On the side, there were some Aburame clan ninjas wearing long raincoats with their hoods pulled down extremely low. They all wore sunglasses in the dark rain forest, and they were constantly expelling special bugs from their bodies.

Next to a pair of silver-haired and blond-haired teenagers, a tightly wrapped Aburo ninja was lowering her voice and talking to the silver-haired Tatsuma Sakamoto in a low voice.

Tatsuma nodded, then came to the river, formed a Xu seal with his hands, and then changed the seal with his right hand, connecting the thumb and tail finger, and relaxing the other three fingers.

This is also a type of special mudra, and it is a systematic mudra system called seal deed. This system emphasizes that each finger has a corresponding chakra element, which is very similar to Tatsuma's previous life.

The thumb represents fire and the tail finger represents water, but the mudra is called water mudra, which means that water and fire are both harmonious, symbolizing communication and openness. Senshou Tobirama has applied it to the art of perception, and the effect is amazing.

It was so clean that even the ninja dogs were a little distrustful because of the lack of taste. Tatsuma stretched his right hand into the river, and as the water flowed through his fingers, his chakra also attached to the water. .

The perception speed of this perception technique is not fast, or the perception speed depends on the water flow. Of course, too fast water flow will not work. First, it may splash and interrupt the flow. Second, the chakra may not be closely attached and involved with each other.

Fortunately, it is September, and although the flood season in the rainforest has reached the late stage, it is not completely over yet, so the speed of the river here is much faster than usual.

The Aburonna ninja also knew that Tatsuma's perception was not very efficient, but the advantage was safety. If there were sentient ninjas among the enemies, then the perception of ninja dogs, insects, and even the ground and air could all be detected.

But almost no ninja cares about whether chakra is attached to the continuously flowing water, because it is too difficult to find, and few people have summarized this method.

As a latent support team, Chenma and the others do not lack time, so they need the safest way to sense the situation in the distance. They must ensure that they are not discovered.

After nearly half an hour, Tatsuma took his hand out of the river and said, "Five kilometers downstream, there are ninja chakra residues. They should be walking on water, and the direction is further downstream."

The Aburame ninja nodded and said: "You are still as cautious as ever. These ninjas from the Land of Rain, even in their own territory, will be so careful to cover up their whereabouts."

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "But since the direction is further downstream, our whereabouts should not be discovered in the short term. Let's rest here first, and I will contact other teams."

The frequency of such patrols in the rain forest cannot be too high. Let alone a small country like the Country of Rain, even the five major countries do not have that many ninjas for daily border patrols.

Especially recently, because Konoha and Sunagakure Village have expanded the battlefield to the Rain Country, the focus of ninjas in the Rain Country must be towards the battlefield, followed by the center of gravity area. For these uninhabited rainforests, the frequency and intensity of surveillance will definitely decrease.

Patrolling once a week or two is probably the limit, so in the short term, they will have no problem setting up camp here.

Chenma walked aside and kept rubbing his itchy right hand. The river water was not that pure, and during the flood season, some things that had been silted in the rainforest for who knows how long might be washed into the river. .

Therefore, it is necessary to clean it in time. After rubbing his right hand with the gauze soaked in alcohol, Chenma felt a lot more at ease. At this time, Minato collected and filtered the water for him, and added the effervescent disinfectant tablets. He put it in a kettle and handed it to Tatsuma.

"Thank you very much."

After taking a small sip, Tatsuma put the water bottle back into his backpack. Minato shook his head and said, "It's just convenient."

"Do you want to learn the way of perception just now?"

Tatsuma quietly said to Minato, in fact, among a large group of sentient ninjas, it was useless for Tatsuma to whisper, but after expressing this attitude, the surrounding Inuzuka and Aburonna ninjas tacitly stayed away.

Minato showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Isn't it good? I heard that it was Tsunade-sensei who gave it to you, or the research result of the Nidaime Hokage-sama."

"I've asked before we parted, and the teacher has no objection. Besides, I can't stand having my hands soaked in river water every day. If you learn how to do it, you can help me share the burden."

Tatsuma directly hooked up on Minato's shoulder. Minato thought for a while, nodded, and then said: "Then I will share with you whatever ninjutsu I have in the future."

Minato felt that he had lost a lot of money to Tatsuma, especially when Jiraiya communicated with him in the past few days, after learning the causes and consequences of him learning the shuriken shadow clone technique, he even bluntly said that without Tatsuma, he would not have been able to learn it so early. Get this jutsu.

And the smart Minato, after a few words of advice from Jiraiya, understood the risks of Tatsuma giving advice to Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Hokage's office.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi was dissatisfied with this matter at the time, then Tatsuma's behavior was to take credit for himself. Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi was optimistic about the future of the two of them and was willing to teach them personally.

Otherwise, the most they can get is a ninjutsu scroll, and as the person who made the request, Tatsuma may also gain the ill will of Hiruzen Sarutobi. The risk is borne by Tatsuma, but Minato accepted the benefit without knowing it. .

And Minato also remembered that Tatsuma had taken care of him on the battlefield before, and even suffered many injuries for it. The more he thought about it, the more he owed Minato. Now seeing that Tatsuma was so generous and couldn't get any reward, Minato thought, You can only overdraw your future.

Hearing Minato's promise, Tatsuma just waved his hand. After all, Minato couldn't get what he needed in a short time. After all, the most important talents of throwing ninja tools, time and space, perception and ninjutsu development, Tatsuma had already It was pulled down from Minato.

Even the Rasengan that Minato would develop in the future, Tatsuma also quietly developed it, but he never had the chance to properly expose this technique and could only use it as a trump card.

Minato felt indebted, and so did Tatsuma, but Tatsuma definitely owed Minato the purity and sincerity of their friendship, and now he just wanted to make up for it more.

Tatsuma did not bring out Tobirama's notes, but he had an excellent memory and had memorized the contents of the scroll, so it was not difficult to write it down directly to Minato.

For the next period of time, Tatsuma was teaching Minato how to sense water while he was in charge of it. Unfortunately, but what Tatsuma expected was that Minato had a poor talent for learning water sense.

Not only the perception of water, but also the perception of ground contact was learned with difficulty. It was completely different from Tatsuma who could initially use it after reading the notes. After all, Minato did not have the two attributes of water and earth.

However, the blow Minato received was not that serious. When he heard that there was a technique to sense the air, he tried hard to learn it, but the progress of his learning was really hard to describe.

The air in the Land of Rain is too humid and heavy. When chakra is sent into the air, it is often blocked by water. This is something that even Tatsuma could not have expected. After all, his chakra is not blocked by water.

"Sure enough, my talent is still too poor compared to yours, Tatsuma."

In more than three months, Minato, who had memorized Tobirama's notes like Tatsuma, came to this conclusion when summarizing the past year on his first New Year's Eve spent outside.

Minato couldn't learn the perception skills of combining five attribute chakras because he didn't have earth and water chakras. The perception skills of combining wind attribute chakras were greatly limited in the Land of Rain. Minato didn't even know he was there. How is your practice?

As for fire and thunder, except for forest fires where people need to be rescued, Minato can't think of a scenario where the former is applicable. As for the latter, unless he is in the land of thunder, it is difficult for him to capture thunder, a weather phenomenon that is rare and rare. Opportunities to practice.

Hearing Minato's emotion, Tatsuma, who was also recalling his experiences in the past year, came to his senses. Tatsuma felt that Minato's words were full of flaws. After all, Minato's joke about saying that his talent was not good was second only to Naruto. Say that you don't know how to preach.

But as far as this year is concerned, in the first quarter both of them were practicing. In the second quarter, Tatsuma was indeed much more dazzling than Minato on the battlefield. In the third quarter, Tatsuma was leading the practice in the village.

In the last quarter, Minato was almost autistic due to the perception skills he couldn't learn, so Minato finally came to this conclusion, and Tatsuma suddenly understood it, but this was not the truth.

Tatsuma patted Minato on the shoulder and said, "The environment in the Land of Rain is not suitable for practice. And since we recently came to the north of the Land of Rain, hasn't your perception improved a lot?"

Now in the depth of winter, they were gradually approaching the junction of rain and soil, and the air humidity had dropped a lot. Not only were their clothes finally no longer wet all day long, but Minato's perception could actually be expanded a lot.

It's just that in just a few days, compared to a whole year, the proportion was so low that Minato didn't realize it.

After hearing Tatsuma's words, Minato forced a smile. He felt that his friend was comforting him.

"It's New Year."

Just when most people were silent, the Aburo ninja who was leading the team suddenly made a voice. Hearing what he said, everyone also had smiles on their faces.

Although in such a ghost place, there is no sense of Chinese New Year atmosphere at all, and the wetness on the body always makes people feel like it is the rainy season, but another year has passed.

"Everyone, please make a wish."

The captain also smiled and said to everyone. A ninja from the Inuzuka clan was trimming the hair on the paws of his ninja dog. Hearing this, he said: "My wish is that the war will stop this year."

His wish was recognized by many people, but the smile on Tatsuma's face was very reluctant. If his memory and calculation were correct, not only would the war not be able to end this year, but it would even turn into a second ninja wave that would affect the entire ninja world. world war.

It's just that he is still too insignificant. Even if he knows something, he can't stop this general trend. Let alone him, with the current situation, either wind or fire has no power to end the war.

Because this battlefield is no longer the will of the two Kages, but the will of the two countries. It is something that everyone from the noble class such as the daimyo to the grassroots such as the common people want to continue.

There was still some short-lived joy here. Further north, in a cave, Tsunade put away her hands, with sweat on her face. Jiraiya lay with his teeth gritted, obviously badly injured.

Tsunade stuffed a soldier food pill into her mouth to regain her strength. At the same time, she looked at Orochimaru who was on guard outside the cave and said, "Orochimaru, let's ask for help. Jiraiya's current injury is so severe that we can't do anything about it." He hid his whereabouts and escaped."

Hearing this, Orochimaru glanced back at his old teammates in the dark cave, his eyes a little tangled, but after a while, he still shook his head and said:

"Hold on, with the distance between us and the support team now, if they want to arrive, they will have to attack at full speed. In that case, their lurking in the past few months will be meaningless.

Let's go further south and let the team take over. We can't let the Kingdom of Rain know that we have a large number of ninjas lurking in the Kingdom of Rain, and you are so strong now, we can persevere. "

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Tsunade raised her hand and touched her forehead protector. The mark under the forehead protector that had accumulated for a year to have some appearance was almost invisible at this time.

Her strength can no longer continue.

Jiraiya opened his eyes at this time, took a few breaths and said, "Haha~ don't be so pessimistic, I'll be fine, if I really get caught up."

He pressed his abdomen, but the pain was still unbearable. He gritted his teeth and said, "There is no problem in cutting off the back for you. The most important thing is to send the information out. I also support Orochimaru's decision not to ask for help."

Orochimaru didn't speak, and the expression on his face suddenly became ugly, and he said: "Iwa Ninja is approaching, Tsunade, can you take Jiraiya with you?"

Tsunade tried to make a fist, then shook her head and said, "Take him a distance, I want to take a rest."

"it is good."

Orochimaru didn't talk nonsense, he just carried Jiraiya on his back, and then left the cave and headed south. Tsunade followed the two of them, gritting his teeth and making a decision.

When Orochimaru and Jiraiya didn't notice, Tsunade took out the communicator in her ninja bag and pressed the button for help.

Immediately, she stuffed the communicator with the blinking signal light back into her ninja bag.
