"Spiral Flash Super Round Dance Howl Triple Style."
Its essence was a combination of the Flying Thunder God Technique and a flashbang.
Using the blinding light produced instantly to make the enemy mistake it for a Ninjutsu, but it was actually a close-range attack.
Looking at the variant of the Flying Thunder God Technique recorded on the scroll, Naruto couldn't help but make some adjustments to the image of his father, who died young, in his mind.
There wasn't anything fundamentally wrong with the technique itself, but the naming convention... was really something he couldn't praise.
They had been staying in the Land of Rain for three days now.
As expected, the remaining members of the Akatsuki seemed to have received information and weren't foolishly walking into a trap.
But this didn't really matter to Naruto anyway.
The two sides were bound to fight sooner or later.
He hadn't been idle these past three days either.
Although the principle analysis of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the scroll wasn't very clear, Naruto still managed to grasp the general idea.
But he only reached the level of a 'general idea'.
There was no other way… compared to learning directly through Observation Haki on the spot, trying to learn this Jutsu solely based on written descriptions was too difficult.
It was a shame that the 'father' in his seal space couldn't be summoned again. Otherwise, if he could perform it personally, Naruto might have had a better chance of learning it.
The principle of the Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't actually that complicated.
The two most critical points were how to place the mark and how to perform 'Reverse Summoning' by sensing the mark.
This was also key to understanding space.
Unfortunately, Naruto hadn't managed to learn it yet.
But he wasn't too worried.
Just as Konan said, Obito's 'intangibility' had a time limit.
If she could create a killing move involving continuous bombardment for ten minutes, then Naruto could probably do something similar too.
Just swinging his sword continuously for ten minutes? For a strong fighter from the sea, that was simpler than drinking water.
...Even if it looked a bit silly.
On the other side, Sasuke and Karin had also been using these days to improve their strength, especially Sasuke.
After several battles, he had become aware of his own shortcomings.
Not only was he training harder in Haki, but he was also deeply developing the abilities of his Devil Fruit.
Sasuke had a feeling.
If he could take another step forward in controlling Huodou's power, perhaps his Mangekyo Sharingan would truly manifest.
As for Karin, although she was also learning Haki, her talent just wasn't enough.
So, the young girl turned to learning Ninjutsu instead.
This way, at least she could utilize the advantages of her Uzumaki Clan's heritage.
Regeneration Technique, Body Revival Technique, and the Eight Gates were also added to her learning list.
Of course, even more critical was mastering the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
When she transformed into the giant Garuda, the golden chains trailing behind her were actually the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
In her transformed state, the Chakra and stamina consumed by the Adamantine Sealing Chains were far less than in her normal state.
They could even be used for long-range combat.
And let's not forget, the Adamantine Sealing Chains were ultimately a Sealing Technique… they had a natural suppressive power against Chakra.
When facing enemies that wind blades or feathers couldn't handle, the Adamantine Sealing Chains might achieve unexpected results.
As for Jiraiya, it seemed he had finished his brief 'research' for his writing and was now talking to Konan about something.
It's probably arrangements for the future.
Only B was idle, sometimes bothering Sasuke, sometimes teasing Karin.
He had completely unleashed his 'inner loafer'.
Back in Kumogakure, he was always confined by the Raikage, A, for training in Unraikyo.
Although he was quite motivated himself, B was, after all, a rap artist who yearned for freedom.
How can a bird trapped in a cage sing a beautiful song?
-That's what he originally said to Naruto.
At the moment, B had just returned from a trip to some unspeakable small shops in Amegakure, his dark cheeks beneath his sunglasses slightly flushed.
Despite his age, he was still quite innocent in certain aspects.
"Alright, things are basically wrapped up here, so it's time for us to set off again."
Naruto put away his father's insight, then clapped his hands to get everyone else's attention.
Since no Akatsuki's members were showing up, they should get going.
"About Iwagakure… B, your brother said there are two Tailed Beasts there, right?"
"Yeah! The Four-Tails and Five-Tails, yo!"
Killer B gestured with his hands for four and five.
It was just a pity that he hadn't met these two Jinchuriki either and didn't know their identities.
To really find them, they'd have to start from Iwagakure.
That would likely lead to another battle.
But Naruto wasn't too concerned about that.
The Tailed Beasts had been classified as 'tactical weapons' by the great Ninja Villages, already violating the original purpose of the First Hokage distributing them.
The villages, which already viewed the Tailed Beasts as their exclusive possessions, would not willingly hand them over without being subdued by force.
This was the same for every village.
"By the way, isn't there another Jinchuriki in your village? When will he arrive?"
"It's 'she', Yugito is a woman, yo!"
B corrected Naruto's wording, then started counting on his fingers to calculate the time.
From the night the Raikage left, to him returning to the village, and then to Yugito setting off to come here... it would probably take five or six days.
"It'll still take some time, yo!"
"Is that so... Then the person over there isn't from your village, I take it."
As he said this, Naruto suddenly turned his head towards a certain direction, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the buildings and trees.
"Huh?"
B was still confused.
But as a Tailed Beast, Gyuki had already sensed the Chakra Signature of the Two-Tails Matatabi.
Both were Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, had trained together for a long time, and B had even acted as Yugito's guide for a period.
So, the two Tailed Beasts were quite familiar with each other's presence.
"Idiot B, it's Yugito. Stop that kid!"
Gyuki's warning was a step too late. After getting B's denial, Naruto's figure disappeared from the spot.
In the forest outside Amegakure, Yugito was carefully crouching on a tree branch, concealing her presence.
Originally, she couldn't have arrived here so quickly.
But coincidentally, Raikage happened to run into Yugito, who was out on a mission, on his way back.
Yes.
Even though they were both Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, Yugito had the privilege of leaving the village alone to perform missions.
This wasn't only because the Raikage treated B like a younger brother.
It was also because, compared to the somewhat unreliable B, the cautious and experienced Yugito was more trustworthy.
This big sister, who appeared cold and aloof on the outside but was actually gentle, aside from being a Jinchuriki, was also a seasoned Jonin who had completed 260 A-Rank missions and 34 S-Rank missions.
As for lower-ranked B and C-Rank missions, they were too numerous to count.
Yugito, who was just about to return to the village after completing her mission, happened to meet the Raikage, who was leaving the village.
Perhaps he was seriously considering the threat of the organization that specifically targeted Tailed Beasts, as mentioned by Naruto.
Or maybe he was simply wary of the negative consequences if Naruto actually stormed Kumogakure to demand the Two-Tails.
In the end, the Raikage held his nose and ordered Yugito to rendezvous with B.
And he also told her to be careful to protect herself and not to trust that kid called Uzumaki Naruto too much.
So, with the intention of scouting first, Yugito didn't rashly enter Amegakure after arriving.
"Hey, are you an enemy?"
Just as Yugito was about to use her Tailed Beast's power to expand her sensory range, an unfamiliar voice sounded.
Instantly, Yugito shrank back like a startled cat, simultaneously thrusting the kunai in her hand forward.
But Naruto was faster than her.
A large hand directly grabbed the gentle big sister by the scruff of her neck, while a fist capable of splitting mountains and cracking stones stopped just short of the Kumogakure forehead protector.
Thankfully for that forehead protector.
Otherwise, Yugito might have met her end here.
