Chapter 433: Leaving the Hidden Valley Village! Instructions?
It was dusk.
At a certain residence in Tani Hidden Village, Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at Uchiha Mikoto, who was sound asleep after several hours of passion, her fair skin exposed… He leaned down and kissed her lightly.
After covering Uchiha Mikoto, he slowly sat up… meticulously tallying the gains from annihilating the Pirate Alliance this time.
During this Turtle Head Island mission, he killed no less than a thousand rogue Ninja who had their Chakra extracted, plus tens of thousands of ordinary pirates… In total, he gained 137,891 points of Slaughter Value. Additionally, there was Kameyama's accumulated wealth over many years… and the treasures and silver collected by the pirates along the way. Although not specifically tallied, it was definitely no less than four hundred million Ryo.
Of course, if he had spared the lives of those pirate leaders and dug deeper along various leads to collect all the treasures hidden by the pirates in different countries, it would have been even more… but that would have also taken him at least several months.
"System, settle the mission~"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission: annihilate the Pirate Alliance entrenched in the southern waters of the Land of Rivers. Kill rate 99.99%. Overall mission rating: S-rank!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring Fire Release Chakra…]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring 30,000 points of Slaughter Value…]
After receiving the system rewards, his accumulated Slaughter Value once again surpassed the 400,000 mark… To some extent, he felt a bit more confident.
Killing and arson bring wealth~
Perhaps secretly cultivating a pirate crew to attract other pirate crews for regular harvesting would also be a good option.
Under the moonlight, within Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes… the crimson Three Tomoe spun rapidly, gradually transforming into the Mangekyo form… "Establishing a pirate crew in the far southern seas of the Land of Rivers?"
In the Tani Hidden Village leader's office, Bito (Kakuzu) and Fūchōin Ryūgetsu listened to Fujiwara Tetsuya's instructions… their faces filled with surprise.
"That's right, secretly support a pirate crew, and at the same time… intensify the conflicts between the pirates of the many nations in the southern seas, making them stronger."
"The ocean is too vast. If we don't make arrangements, more pirates will emerge to continue to plague various countries."
"Since that's the case, why not bring these people… under our secret control? As long as we harvest them regularly… that will bring a stable source of funds to the organization, and at the same time, we can absorb those… who truly possess strong beliefs and will, to fill the gaps in the organization's outer combat strength."
"Of course, there's no need to rush this matter. We still have a lot of time…"
"For now, Kakuzu-san, your most important task is to take advantage of the calm in the southern seas to promote the Land of Rivers' maritime trade… support nobles close to Tani Hidden Village to control the power of the Land of Rivers, and secretly control the Land of Rivers."
"As for Fūchōin, what you need to do now is to continuously cultivate until the day you break through to Kage-level."
The matter of the Pirate Alliance had been resolved. Furthermore, with Kakuzu and Fūchōin now holding down the fort in Tani Hidden Village, at least for now… he no longer needed to stay in the Land of Rivers. The cultivation of Five Elements Sealing, Fire Release Ninjutsu, and Sage Mode… were the directions he planned to focus on next.
However, what Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't know was that some things wouldn't proceed as he planned… "Lord? Are you going back?"
At once, Kakuzu and Fūchōin both heard the hint of departure in Fujiwara Tetsuya's words.
"That's right, I still need to cultivate further…"
"Oh, before I leave, these are for you all~"
As he spoke, Fujiwara Tetsuya pulled out three scrolls from his hand and tossed them to Kakuzu.
"Lord, what are these?"
Clutching the scrolls in his arms, Kakuzu was momentarily stunned, but upon seeing the text sealed on one of the scrolls, his pupils couldn't help but constrict, and even his voice trembled slightly.
"Kakuzu, don't misunderstand… Eight Gates is not just for you. Fūchōin also has the right to cultivate this Forbidden Technique."
"Next, you must dedicate a portion of your energy to cultivating Taijutsu and Eight Gates. Even if you can't reach the level of opening the eighth or seventh gate in the future, being able to forcefully open four gates or more will significantly boost your strength…"
"Especially you, Fūchōin! The speed that Swift Release can achieve is definitely not just three times the normal speed~ Your body's strength limits the upper bound of the Swift Release bloodline. Strengthening your Taijutsu training will only benefit, not harm, your continued development of the Swift Release bloodline. It will allow you to adapt and break through Swift Release's suppression on your physical body more quickly."
"Oh, at the end of the scroll, there are my insights from cultivating Eight Gates… you can use them as a reference."
"Also, once you've memorized all the content in the scrolls, remember to destroy this scroll!"
"Gulp~"
"Lord, rest assured, once we've memorized it, we will destroy the Eight Gates cultivation scroll immediately~"
Clutching the scrolls tightly in their hands, Kakuzu and Fūchōin nodded heavily to Fujiwara Tetsuya one after another.
Kakuzu, in particular, felt a sense of gratitude towards Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto… He hadn't expected that the day he merely revealed his interest in Eight Gates, Uchiha Mikoto would notice, and… most importantly, Fujiwara Tetsuya was so decisive that he simply handed this Konoha Forbidden Taijutsu… directly to him.
"Additionally, the other two scrolls, one is a Wind Release Ninjutsu I recently developed, Shunpo!"
"By utilizing the changes in the nature of Wind Release Chakra, the user creates an air domain under their feet, gaining the ability for high-altitude combat. Whether for offense or escape… it can provide significant auxiliary effects."
"During my absence, learn it. I don't want… you to be surrounded and killed by enemies one day."
"As for the other scroll, it's prepared for Fūchōin. It records the Konoha-Style Swordsmanship I've mastered… Fūchōin, your swordsmanship is too clumsy. Start learning from the basics again, and then study the S-rank sword styles recorded in the scroll."
"I will, Lord~ I will definitely not disappoint you."
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Fūchōin instinctively activated Swift Release, his hands turning into afterimages as he directly snatched the swordsmanship cultivation scroll from Kakuzu's arms… "Fūchōin, following my path of swordsmanship is merely my initial hope for you~"
"My true hope for you is~ after acquiring sufficient swordsmanship training, to forge your own path."
"Only by walking your own path are you qualified to be called a strong person!"
Thinking of the Ninja in Konoha who practiced Konoha-Style Swordsmanship, Fujiwara Tetsuya shook his head helplessly… That kind of thing, below secret techniques, was almost commonplace throughout Konoha, with no innovation whatsoever.
"Alright~ My instructions to you both end here."
"Fūchōin, if you want to cultivate any Ninjutsu, you can ask Kakuzu~ If Kakuzu-san doesn't have it, he can notify me~"
"Then, farewell for now, my two 'companions'!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya's words fell, his body instantly transformed into an afterimage and vanished without a trace, leaving only the uneasy Kakuzu and Fūchōin standing dumbfounded in place.
