"Water Release: Water Bullet!" Boom!
"Fire Release: Head Hunter Technique!" Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!" Zap, zap, zap, boom!
Sasuke mobilized the Tailed Beast's Chakra to use these Ninjutsu one by one. The Water Release, which he was originally not good at, was now immensely destructive, and Kakuzu's Fire Release and Lightning Release unleashed unparalleled power.
This result made Sasuke extremely satisfied.
However, he still didn't like the Tailed Beast's negative emotions much, "So, that guy Naruto has been carrying the Nine-Tails' negative emotions all this time, but he's still very optimistic? I really don't know if he's just big-hearted or truly strong inside."
Natsuki said, "Probably both. Naruto is a natural optimist, and his inner strength is quite strong, which is why he can withstand the Nine-Tails' negative emotions. However, the coldness and curses from the Village will make him very uncomfortable. But compared to Naruto, I think you should worry more about yourself. Your emotions were always unstable before, so don't let the Tailed Beast take advantage. Also, once your identity as a Jinchuriki is exposed, you will face a situation similar to Naruto's."
"Just a bunch of ignorant villagers."
Sasuke didn't care, "I only seek revenge and can protect my comrades. As for those boring villagers, what do they have to do with me?"
Oh ho, that's a good mindset!
Moreover, this is the correct way of thinking!
Those villagers 570 are ignorant, fearless, and boring. They are indeed completely unworthy of protection. It's normal for Sasuke to think this way.
Like Naruto, you abuse me thousands of times, but I still protect you like family, just to get your recognition and acceptance, to no longer be rejected. It feels truly humble.
Sigh, the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.
Natsuki even thought about letting his cheap Father-in-law sell off his properties in the Village and settle in the Capital City. At that time, whether the Village would be blown up by Almighty Push wouldn't be Natsuki's concern. Unfortunately, his Father-in-law wouldn't agree, and Tenten would even less so.
At the very least, the neighbors have been acquaintances for so many years. He can't just watch them die.
That's why it's troublesome.
Natsuki said, "Next, I will be responsible for investigating the Spiral Mask Man. You just spend every day outside getting familiar with the Tailed Beast's power. There should be at least two or three months, right? Make good use of this time and master the Tailed Beast's power as soon as possible."
Sasuke nodded, "Thanks. I won't be polite with you. If you ever need my help, just say the word!"
Natsuki waved his hand and looked at the surrounding scenery, "Although the environment here is not bad, Kabuto Yakushi knows about it, so let's go somewhere else."
Over the years, Natsuki had also discovered some relatively hidden places that were very suitable for cultivation.
He had even taken Tenten to see them before, and Tenten had also chosen a spot to practice with the Six Paths Tools, as these Ninja Tools were not suitable for use within the Village.
Sasuke's situation was the same; he couldn't get familiar with the Tailed Beasts' power inside the Village.
Not to mention the destructive power or whether it would cause panic, the most annoying thing was that it would attract Danzo's attention and targeting, which would be truly troublesome.
Swish! Natsuki took Sasuke and left.
A day after the two left, Kabuto Yakushi arrived with Kurenai and Yukimaru, but no matter how Yukimaru took the medicine to provoke it, the Three-Tails was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, as time passed, the mist on the lake surface quickly dispersed, giving Kabuto Yakushi a bad feeling.
The Three-Tails was probably not here anymore!
Time, like the Kekkei Genkai users of Hidden Mist Village, constantly disappeared.
For over a month, Natsuki took Sasuke and wandered between several neighboring countries of the Rain Country, but they didn't find any trace of the Spiral Mask Man; instead, they often heard news of Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand doing bounty missions.
It seemed these two had completely replaced Kakuzu's position and were working hard to earn money for the Akatsuki.
Natsuki also had no intention of looking for the two of them; his companions in the Village needed time to grow, so he couldn't easily make a move. If he were to kill Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand as well, it might push the Akatsuki too far, and if the Six Paths of Pain invaded Konoha prematurely at that time, it would likely be even harder to resist.
"Almighty Push can repel everything.
Almighty Pull can attract everything.
These are repulsion and attraction, truly difficult to deal with; I need to figure out a way.
It would be best to have a move that can repel Almighty Push, meaning I repel your repulsion. Only then can I not fear Pain using it on a large scale in the Village, and not worry about the Village suffering severe damage. My wife has businesses in the Village; don't even think about making me lose money!"
However, to be safe, Natsuki still wanted to take some time to persuade his cheap Father-in-law to sell off some properties.
Even if he couldn't stop Almighty Push, he wouldn't lose too much.
Sasuke didn't notice Natsuki was spacing out but was silently sorting out his current situation.
White Fang Sword Technique, Lightning Release: Chidori, Lightning Release: False Darkness, Fire Release: Head Hunter Technique, Body Flicker Technique, etc., were all powerful moves he had mastered, posing no problem against Jonin.
In addition, he saw many things in the Senju Library's notes, including the characteristics and weaknesses of the Uchiha's Fire Release, Sharingan, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, etc. By studying the notes, his mastery of Fire Release became more proficient, and his use of Sharingan became more effortless, while also correcting many bad habits.
The Senju Library truly was a treasure!
He wanted to go back and look at it several more times!
There was also Sealing Jutsu; while his Sealing Jutsu might not be considered very strong overall, he had mastered powerful seals like the Four Symbols Seal, Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, and Evil Sealing Method.
And what's most worth mentioning is that he is now familiar with the Three-Tails' power. Although he hasn't reached the state of a perfect Jinchuriki, he can already skillfully use the Tailed Beasts' power, and transforming into a Tailed Beast is very quick and smooth. Right now, he feels terrifyingly strong.
Fortunately, he didn't get arrogant.
Because he had a special spar with Natsuki and was then utterly crushed by the Water Giant.
Natsuki was like a natural chasm blocking the way, making it seem like he could never cross it.
But it didn't matter, because Itachi Uchiha also couldn't defeat Natsuki, and his inability to defeat Natsuki didn't hinder his revenge, so it wasn't a big problem.
"Natsuki, is there still no news?"
Sasuke actually had time to care about the mission, saying, "That Spiral Mask Man has always been very mysterious; I'm afraid he can't be found."
Natsuki also sighed, "I estimate that guy is afraid of me, so he's deliberately hiding.
If he dares to appear before me, I guarantee I'll beat the crap out of him!"
Sasuke almost burst out laughing.
Although the wording was uncivilized, Sasuke believed Natsuki could do it.
However, since they couldn't find the person, Natsuki couldn't keep going like this, so he contacted Tsunade using a small note, informing her of the mission's failure.
He didn't wait too long before Tsunade's message arrived, instructing the two to suspend the mission and return to the Village.
Just then, Natsuki also missed Tenten's embrace, so he decisively took Sasuke and flashed back to Tsunade's office.
Tenten had just finished helping transmit the note and hadn't left yet. Seeing Natsuki return, she didn't care if others were around and directly pounced onto Natsuki.
