Chapter 130: Private Transaction
"White Blood Demon, one day I'll tear you to pieces!" Arashi yelled, but he could only utter that harsh word before retreating.
Sasuke created a shadow clone and both performed a combined ninjutsu. The original body condensed a Wind Style: Rasengan, while the clone created a Water Style: Tearing Current. They fused both jutsus.
"Hurricane Water Vortex Technique!"
An enormous hurricane of water blades, with the Rasengan's swirling power at its core, swept through everything in its path. The couple, Arashi and Ruriyu, controlled their puppets and unleashed a high-density, colorful chakra shield that blocked the attack. Sasuke didn't give up and continued to harass them, but with their perfect cooperation, it was difficult to win. After pursuing them for more than ten miles, the couple finally rejoined the main body of their army.
Sasuke had lost the opportunity to kill Ebizo. He was about to retreat when a sand clone of Ruriyu approached. She wanted to make a private deal.
"Ruriyu, if you want Arashi's right arm back, you can," Sasuke said, getting straight to the point. "Give me the Magnet Style technique."
"Impossible. Change the conditions," she flatly refused.
"In that case, Sunagakure's puppet inheritance."
"That too. They are the foundation of our village."
"Then you don't want anything for free, do you?" Sasuke feigned anger.
"Bah!" Ruriyu bristled, and showered him with senbon out of sheer embarrassment, which he easily dodged. Sasuke directly asked her for all of Sunagakure's Wind ninjutsu inheritance and their basic sealing techniques.
"Impossible. I can only give you a part," she negotiated.
Sasuke took out the severed arm from the nutrient bottle. "Look how active it is. Well-preserved." Then, with a kunai, he cut off a finger.
"Wait! We can talk about it!" she finally conceded.
After a tense back and forth, they reached an agreement. "Ruriyu, give me a custom scroll from your village," was Sasuke's last demand.
'So cunning... but so vulgar,' she thought with disdain, but understood the reason. A jutsu on an enemy scroll was considered war spoils, circumventing Konoha's rules.
It took her a long time, but Ruriyu finally completed the registration. She threw the scroll, and Sasuke tossed the bottle. He used a water string to catch the scroll; she used sand to catch the bottle and immediately teleported it with a summoning technique, thwarting any idea Sasuke had of retrieving the arm.
After completing the transaction, the real Ruriyu rejoined her husband.
"Arashi, look what I brought," she said, handing him the arm.
Arashi looked at it, not with relief, but with deep hatred. It wasn't a reminder of what he had lost; it was a monument to his humiliation.
"With the mechanical arm, I'll only be stronger," he hissed, as his steel claw shattered the flesh and bone. "I don't need this damned broken trash."
He threw the remains away, turned, and left, leaving only a grim back to a distraught Ruriyu, who watched her hope of healing his spirit shatter on the ground.
