"Forget it!"
Sakumo interrupted Shiro Akira's words. "It's normal for you to have your own little secrets. Everyone does. There's no need to explain them to me in detail."
"I would rather you and Kakashi become as strong as possible!"
"The ninja world is not peaceful right now. Only with greater strength can you be safer."
"By the way, you still haven't said why you came to my side. You have a mission, right?"
In this era, which ninja didn't have some secrets?
He was not the kind of person who liked digging to the root of everything.
"That's right!"
Shiro Akira nodded, flipped his hand, and took out a sealing scroll from his spatial ring, handing it to Sakumo. "Lord Orochimaru asked us to deliver this to you."
Sakumo accepted it, undid the seal, checked the intelligence inside, then nodded and looked at Shiro Akira and Kakashi. "I understand the situation now. Next, you'll temporarily take orders here under me. You'll probably be staying for quite some time, so I hope you're mentally prepared."
"Of course, during this period, I'll also guide you whenever I have time. It's been more than half a year since we last met, and I want to see how much you've grown."
Of course, the premise was that Kirigakure did not launch a large-scale attack.
As the commander-in-chief of the eastern battlefield, he had quite a lot of matters to handle.
"Understood!"
Shiro Akira and Kakashi nodded.
"Good!"
Sakumo immediately called over a Jonin and had him arrange a tent for Shiro Akira and Kakashi as their residence.
Only after the two left did Sakumo shake his head with an amused smile. "Those two brats, even staying in the village doing D-rank missions, managed to stir up this kind of mess. No wonder Lord Hokage sent them over to me!"
The intelligence from earlier included a letter from the Third Hokage, which contained Shiro Akira and Kakashi's "achievements" over the past half year.
"However, I suppose even Lord Hokage didn't expect Akira to suddenly reveal such powerful strength, right?"
Forget the Third Hokage; even Sakumo, his teacher, had not expected it.
"The more this is the case, the more dangerous that child's situation is now. I need to personally test his true level before I can feel at ease!"
Thinking this, Sakumo rubbed the space between his brows and felt a bit of a headache.
A bounty of five hundred million. Clearly, the other great ninja villages had put down serious capital.
"Also, your hand must be behind this, right? You may even be the one who started it and spread the information, Danzo!"
Sakumo raised his head and said coldly.
This time, Danzo's actions had already touched Sakumo's bottom line.
Not only had he harmed Shiro Akira and Kakashi, but he had also sold out the village's interests. He simply deserved to die.
This time, Sakumo truly had killing intent.
"The timing still isn't right. Don't let me catch an opportunity. Otherwise, Danzo, I will absolutely make sure you die without a burial place!"
Sakumo swore inwardly.
That night, seeing that his talent cooldown had ended, Shiro Akira immediately entered the spatial ring world and took out a copied scroll of the Shadow Clone Technique. He silently said in his heart, "Exchange!"
The next moment, the scroll in his hand disappeared. At the same time, a scene appeared in his mind.
The Pokémon world.
Inside Arceus's Origin Space, Arceus suddenly opened his eyes. "Another exchange? It's becoming more and more frequent. Unfortunately, useful things are becoming fewer and fewer."
The previous ninja beasts had already been almost completely studied by Professor Oak.
In addition, Arceus and many Legendary and Mythical Pokémon had also figured out the essence of chakra during this process and had become the first batch to master chakra.
The current effects were excellent. Their strength had all increased by quite a bit.
"The Shadow Clone Technique? Ninjutsu? Physical clones?"
After communicating with the Exchange Talent many times, Arceus felt for the first time that the Exchange Talent had become much more flexible. This time, he naturally saw the use of this item more clearly.
"This ninjutsu is quite useful to me and the Legendary Pokémon!"
"Staying in the Origin Space all the time is rather boring. Perhaps I can send a shadow clone down to the human world to play? Or simply leave a shadow clone here in my place while my main body goes out to play?"
Arceus felt this idea was excellent.
"I imagine the Legendary Pokémon will also like this skill, right?"
Arceus felt that he was a good boss, since he even knew to consider things for his subordinates.
"However, this time I can actually actively give an extra gift?"
Immediately afterward, Arceus made a new discovery, and his eyes lit up slightly.
He felt this was quite good. If he gave the Exchange Talent some small gifts, perhaps next time, it could bring him even better things.
Because of chakra's appearance, the Legendary Pokémon of their world had already benefited.
"I've got it! I'll send this!"
A flash of inspiration crossed Arceus's mind. He immediately consumed some Origin Power and, through his authority as the Creator God, created a mysterious crystal ball. Then he chose to agree to the exchange.
Immediately afterward, the scene changed.
It arrived at a Gym in a bustling human city.
At this moment, the entire Gym's space seemed to be twisting, and extremely terrifying, chaotic psychic power was constantly erupting inside.
Deep within the Gym, a little girl around ten years old floated in midair, the source of the chaos originating from her.
"Hurry! We're almost successful! As long as we succeed, we'll be able to brainwash her to a certain extent, and Sabrina will ultimately be used by us. Hehehe!"
Team Rocket's Ariana laughed somewhat proudly.
At this moment, four special devices had been set up around the entire Gym battlefield. They were emitting a special frequency that enveloped the whole field.
This was also the fundamental reason why Sabrina's psychic power had gone out of control again.
"Ah!"
Seeing that Sabrina's resistance in midair was becoming weaker and weaker, the smile on Ariana's face grew wider.
Suddenly, the chaotic psychic power around Sabrina and the four interference devices around her all vanished abruptly. Sabrina also slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze was icy as she looked toward the smiling Ariana.
The sudden change made Ariana's smile instantly freeze.
"What…"
Before she could say anything, blue light lit up in Sabrina's eyes, and a terrifying psychic force directly bound Ariana and lifted her into the air.
Ariana could not move even if she wanted to, let alone release her Pokémon.
The same fate befell the other Team Rocket members inside Saffron Gym. All of them were controlled by psychic power and floated into the air.
There was a suffocating feeling, as if they had sunk into a swamp.
At this moment, the Poké Balls at Ariana's waist shook. The Pokémon inside sensed that their master was in danger and wanted to come out to protect her.
But in the next instant, Sabrina used her psychic power to lock the Poké Balls from the outside, preventing the Pokémon inside from coming out at all.
"You… what are you trying to do? Hurry and let me go, Sabrina! You should be on our side!"
Ariana looked at Sabrina with difficulty and spoke.
She did not understand where the problem had appeared.
Why had the chaotic psychic power around Sabrina vanished?
Why had those interference devices suddenly disappeared?
Could it have been the work of a Psychic-type Pokémon?
That should have been impossible. Those things were specifically aimed at psychic power.
Within the interference range, even Psychic-type Pokémon should not have been able to use psychic power.
