Chapter 81: Chasing the Sand Ninjas
With just a slight perception, Sasuke understood the general idea. It turned out that Fūjin and Raijin, with their incredible appetite, had already eaten the over one hundred kilograms of fish in less than ten days. Their captain, Yamagui Uta, had been oppressed by them to the point of having to sell his own weapons to buy them ration pills. At that moment, they were hungry again, fishing and muttering that they wanted to see him again.
"Huh?" Sasuke stopped and touched his chin, thoughtful. 'If I could draw that Sunagakure jonin away first, and add the combat power of Fūjin and Raijin, we could defeat the remaining ninjas in no time...' his eyes lit up. The plan was feasible.
Fūjin and Raijin could be used as two special taijutsu jonin. If he managed to separate the Sunagakure jonin from the group, he could use the two brothers to delay him while he, with his Hiding in Mist Technique, eliminated the others. And even if the siege failed, he could use his arsenal of explosives to attract Konoha patrols.
Thinking about this, Sasuke performed a transformation technique and ran downstream.
"Big Brother!"
"Senpai!"
Fūjin, Raijin, and Kurama Kon cheered upon seeing Sasuke as if they had found a lost family member. After a simple greeting, Sasuke took out three of his precious honey energy blocks and asked them to fill their stomachs first.
"Mmm, delicious, thank you, Senpai," Kon said, her large eyes curving into a smile. The energy block felt sweeter with each bite, and looking at Sasuke, her eyes gleamed with an inexplicable flutter of admiration.
"Wow! How delicious!" the brothers exclaimed, who for once, instead of wolfing it down, slowly licked the blocks to savor them.
Sasuke seized the opportunity. "Fūjin, Raijin, do you want to eat more of this delicious food?"
"Yes!" they nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking rice.
"Oh!" Sasuke sighed, feigning regret. "Such delicious food. It's a shame the Sand ninjas took it."
"Big Brother, kill them and get the food back!" the brothers' anger immediately flared.
"Senpai, have you found the Sand ninjas?" Kon asked, understanding Sasuke's true intention. "One more person means more strength," she offered. Sasuke, thinking of the terrifying effect of her genjutsu in team battles, agreed.
"Kill the Sand Ninja and get the food back!" the brothers roared, raising their staffs.
Sasuke stopped them, and using deception, he explained that they had to retrieve the food secretly to keep all of it, not just a small part. At the mention of food, their IQ soared, and they nodded silently, understanding the logic of stealth.
"Fūjin, Raijin, get rid of your wooden staffs and use my iron staffs."
Sasuke took out two large iron rods from his scroll, more than two meters long and as thick as his arms. They were for his Rasengan training, but now they had a better use. The brothers took them and wielded them, looking quite comfortable.
"Brother, I don't know how to use it. I'll use it to trade for food," one said.
"Yes, I won't dare to do it again," the other said, promising not to trade their weapons for food again.
The moment they wielded the iron rods, their strength skyrocketed. Now they really looked like two powerful Akimichi clan members.
"Fūjin, Raijin, halt."
Sasuke ordered them to stop and formed hand seals. "Water Style: Sticky Syrup Armor!"
A thick layer of sticky, golden armor covered the two giants. With their already incredible defense, they were now like a tiger with wings. He didn't add the armor to Kon; her fragile body probably couldn't withstand it.
"Let's go!" Sasuke gestured, and the three of them rushed to pursue the smuggling team.
After running less than a hundred meters, Sasuke looked back and frowned. The brothers were very fast, but Kon was lagging behind.
"Kon, forward."
Considering that the brothers were too clumsy to carry her, Sasuke decided to carry her on his own back.
"Yes," Kon's face flushed with embarrassment. She felt dizzy and her feet were trembling, so she simply slumped onto Sasuke's back. He held her legs and, using his instantaneous movement technique, ran off.
Kon pressed against his back and felt a security she had never known before. The warm body temperature on her cheek made her blush even more, and she felt as if smoke was coming out of her head.
"Kon, don't move," Sasuke said, holding her tightly. The technique was extremely fast, and one wrong move could crash them into a tree.
"Yes, sir," Kon whimpered, her voice barely a whisper that Sasuke, if not for his enhanced hearing, might not have heard.
