Chapter 583: Sakura Wants to Overcome Hardships with Sasuke
Ino's shadow clone immediately switched to a formal kneeling posture, her expression becoming dignified and solemn. Like a news anchor organizing her materials after the broadcast, she wore a smile and meticulously arranged the documents on her desk.
Then, she revealed eight teeth in a bright smile and asked, "What are your intentions?"
Sakura got goosebumps. Don't be like this, you're scaring me!
She asked timidly in a low voice, "...I, I want to buy that fan. Is that possible?"
Ino was very serious. "It's possible, but... you tell me, how much is this Uchiha Gunbai worth, made from a branch of the God Tree, with its mold co-created by thirty-six master craftsmen, continuously forged in the Land of Fire for seventy-two months, and then infused with fire-nature chakra by one hundred and eight Uchiha clan fire-style experts?"
Sakura: "..."
Is it really that amazing?
"Actually, as a symbol of the Uchiha clan head, representing the overall glory and past history of the Uchiha, all this additional information can be disregarded. Let's just talk about the value of the fan itself."
Sakura rolled her eyes. The more you say that, the more you're going to include all of it in the total price. I know you.
Ino held up a finger. "Let me do an experiment for you. You can see the effect for yourself."
The two of them walked out of the tent.
Shikamaru was sleeping listlessly on the side. Urged by Ino's shadow clone, he slowly stood up and shot a Great Fireball Technique at her.
Ino's shadow clone looked as if she were facing a great enemy. She raised the fan and shouted, "Reflect!"
A fine layer of chakra appeared on the surface of the fan. Shikamaru's Great Fireball was reflected back on the spot. Choji stretched out a large hand and blocked the Great Fireball in mid-air.
Ino's shadow clone asked Sakura, "See? Can this effect be described as 'not bad'? It's simply heaven-defying. Whoever gets this treasured fan is basically getting an extra life."
You're trying to take my life, aren't you? The fan's effect was indeed good, but did you have to shout "Reflect" so loudly? So cringey... Sakura's expression was bitter. She felt that the other party would definitely quote an astronomical price for this fan.
After some back and forth, with sisterly affection and everlasting friendship, a final price was given: one hundred and twenty million ryo!
Sakura was struck by lightning. How could she have so much money!
You had to know that Jiraiya had done so many S-rank missions, written books, and received a salary and subsidies as the Hokage, and his entire fortune was only about 500 to 600 million. Over 100 million ryo could get you a bounty on the Hokage's head at the bounty station.
Ino said with conviction, "Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, you and Sasuke complete something together, overcoming numerous difficulties in the process, supporting each other through countless hardships. When you're old, you can reminisce together. What a heartwarming scene that would be."
Sakura was fuming. My biggest hardship is you! Without you, I wouldn't be this poor!
Ino, imitating Might Guy, patted Sakura's shoulder hard and gave a thumbs-up. "Go for it, you can do it!"
Sakura went back to find Sasuke and explained the situation.
Sasuke also felt a headache coming on.
He was a jonin now, and the income from his missions was far higher than Sakura's. But he had already paid fifty million ryo when he was learning Sage Mode, which had nearly emptied his savings from the past three years. Now another one hundred and twenty million?
He nodded heavily. "I know. I'll raise the money as soon as possible."
Sakura counted her own savings. Sigh, it was a drop in the bucket. For her own happiness, she had to work hard to earn money too!! Damn Ino-pig, you're too ruthless!
After dinner, the group leisurely continued their journey.
Suddenly, they saw Hiruko, in a tattered robe, his body wrapped in a large number of bandages and covered in wounds, fly over their heads on a metal plate.
Where is he going? Running away?
Looking at his flight direction, Ino's shadow clone had a rough guess. Good grief, is he going to fight my main body to the death?
She didn't know the result of the battle between her main body and Madara, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't let this guy interfere with the battle.
"Stop him!" the shadow clone ordered.
Sasuke reacted the fastest. He turned on the spot, then accelerated, leaped high into the air. Lightning-nature chakra formed wings, greatly increasing his airtime. He then glided for more than ten meters and struck Hiruko's back with a Chidori.
The buzzing sound was incessant. The powerful impact, coupled with the sharpness of the lightning style, posed a fatal threat that brought the severely injured Hiruko back to his senses a little.
"Damn it! You Konoha ninja are trying to stop me again?!" Without thinking, Hiruko mobilized the abilities he had just obtained, or rather, fused. He raised his right hand, fingers spread, and aimed at Sasuke's Chidori.
With a soft hiss, Sasuke saw the chakra he had shaped into the Chidori instantly absorbed by the other party.
"Here, take it back!" The same chakra circulated once in Hiruko's body and was shot back like an energy shockwave.
Sasuke used the flames of Blaze Release to block the attack and landed smoothly.
Hiruko saw the headband on Sasuke's head, and then he saw the Sharingan in the boy's eyes.
Sharingan, Mangekyo Sharingan, and a pair of them!
A great treasure had fallen from the sky!
Isn't this better than Kakashi?
He looked into the distance. The voices in his body told him that there was an even better one in the distance, a guy countless times better than Kakashi and the Sasuke in front of him. If he absorbed that guy, his bloodline would definitely reach a perfect state.
He hesitated for a moment. Reason took over, suppressing the chaotic voices in his body.
First, let's balance the seven chakra natures in my body. Then we can talk about the next step.
"Chimera Technique!" He quickly formed hand seals, and a viscous, foul-smelling black liquid was secreted from under his bandages again.
The black liquid converged on Sasuke from all directions, as if to swallow the boy whole.
Naruto shouted and attacked Hiruko with a Rasengan, trying to help Sasuke break free. But Hiruko was determined to finish Sasuke first. He endured the immense pain in his body and continuously used his Kekkei Mōra ability to absorb Naruto's Rasengan and Sakura's Water Dragon Bullet. On the other side, the Chimera Technique swarmed up, squeezing Sasuke's space.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!" Ino's shadow clone spat out a water line. The cutting ability of the Water Severing Wave was still excellent, but the Chimera Technique was like a large lump of clay. It was extremely resilient. The water line cut two-thirds of the way through and then couldn't cut any further.
Hiruko sneered, as if mocking Ino.
"Laugh at your sister!" The shadow clone felt quite annoyed to be mocked by such an ugly freak.
"Hit him with this!" She swiped her hand and created several black rods out of thin air, throwing them to Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others.
