Chapter 83 A Low-End Version of Pain
As the smoke cleared, a strange figure covered in bandages stood atop the cargo crate.
He wore a white mask, revealing only his eyes. His eyes were red, and he had two tomoe Sharingan eyes.
Behind him was a huge scroll.
"Who are you?"
Sosuke asked coldly.
"I?"
The strange man tilted his head and revealed a cruel smile.
"I'm here to find someone."
"I heard that a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family is here—give him to me."
Did Hyuga Masaru attract this monster?
"Want to roll your eyes? You can't have that, not to mention the caged bird. I won't let you get away with this either."
Sosuke's hands trembled. Instantly, steel wires filled the space.
"Put them on!"
"Oh, oh, oh! The fury of youth!"
Matt Dae burst out from the side.
He held nothing back. One must not underestimate such a monster.
"Eight Gates Formation, Third Gate, Gate of Life, Open!"
Boom! A green chakra shockwave erupted. Dai's skin instantly turned red, and his speed increased dramatically.
A powerful punch landed squarely on the monster's face.
"A taijutsu ninja?"
The strange man was somewhat surprised, but he reacted quickly.
He quickly formed a hand seal.
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"
Zizizi!
A powerful electric current spread from his feet, instantly covering the entire ground.
If it were an ordinary person, they would be electrocuted immediately.
But Dai is a martial arts expert who has mastered three gates of martial arts.
He stomped his foot and leaped into the air, avoiding the electric current from the ground.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
A whip kick landed hard on the strange man's shoulder.
Bang! The strange man was kicked away, smashing through a row of shelves.
"Such a heavy force."
The strange man climbed out of the rubble, patted his shoulder, and was unharmed.
"Earth Release: Hardening Technique, huh?" Sousuke noticed something amiss.
The strange man grinned maliciously.
"Good observation skills."
"Since you don't want to give it to me, I'll take it myself."
The scroll behind him suddenly unfurled, and countless explosive tags flew out.
"This is—" Sosuke's pupils contracted.
Those weren't ordinary explosive tags. They were special tags activated by lightning chakra.
"Thunderbolt!"
shhhhhh!
Explosive tags were launched at the group. They moved with astonishing speed.
Kaori draws her sword.
"Konoha Style: Willow!"
Her figure became ethereal. Her longsword danced, creating an impenetrable net of swords.
Brush brush!
She severed the fuses of most of the explosive tags. But a few still slipped through the net.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out inside the warehouse.
"Damn it! My lab equipment!"
Sosuke was heartbroken.
He pulled the steel wire sharply with both hands.
"Explosive Array!"
Two Fuma Shuriken fell simultaneously, pointing directly at the monster's head.
"A trivial skill."
The strange man raised his head.
The Sharingan's dynamic vision allowed him to instantly see through the trajectory of the shuriken.
He channeled his Lightning Release chakra, and with a flash, dodged all the blades.
Only the shockwave from the explosion reached him, but it only charred a few of his bandages.
"Is this the power of the Sharingan? It's truly wonderful—"
The strange man was intoxicated.
"If I were to combine it with the Byakugan—I might become even more perfect."
"Pervert," Sousuke cursed.
This monster possesses the speed of Lightning Release, the defense of Earth Release, and now even the dynamic vision of the Sharingan.
It's basically a low-budget version of Pain.
"Let me do it, boss!"
Dai charged forward again. He activated the fourth gate, the Gate of Injury. His speed surged once more.
His fists rained down on the monster.
The strange man began to feel the strain.
He has Sharingan, but he puts it on so fast that even if he sees it clearly, he doesn't have time to react.
"Annoying flies!" the strange man roared.
His entire body erupted with blinding lightning.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Armor!"
This is a secret technique of the Hidden Cloud Village! He actually knows it too?
No, that's a fake.
Sousuke could see it clearly with his snake eyes. It was simply a layer of electricity created using lightning chakra.
It is far less precise than true lightning armor, but even so, it is tough enough.
Dai's fist struck Lei Kai, but was bounced back by the electric current, leaving his skin charred black.
"So hard!"
"Wear."
Sosuke's voice came from behind.
"There's no need to test them anymore."
"Since it's lightning armor, then shatter it with absolute power."
"This is a warehouse, so if it's destroyed, so be it. Untie yourself."
Matt Day paused for a moment. Then he smiled, his white teeth gleaming.
"Understood, boss! In that case—let's let our youth burn bright!"
Dai took a deep breath.
The green steam emanating from his body became even more violent.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes rolled back. His aura was escalating exponentially.
"Eight Gates Formation, Fifth Gate, Gate of Closure, Open!"
boom!!!
A shockwave emanated from Dai and spread outwards, instantly shattering the bricks and stones on the ground.
The strange man's expression changed.
His Sharingan spun wildly, trying to see Dai's movements clearly.
But... I can't see it clearly.
The green figure disappeared from his sight.
"Where is he?!"
The strange man looked around.
"Above you!"
The strange man suddenly looked up. Too late.
Dai's speed was so fast that even his voice was left behind.
boom!!!
He stepped down.
The layer of lightning armor was instantly shattered. Electric current scattered, unable to withstand the terrifying power.
The ground collapsed, creating a large crater.
"It's not over yet!"
He flipped in the air, landed, and then fired wildly at the bottom of the pit.
Every punch produced a sonic boom.
The monster's body began to deform under the heavy blow.
His cells couldn't withstand such a high-intensity blow and began to break down.
"Wow!"
He suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood. It wasn't ordinary blood, but rather a semi-digested mixture of various tissue fluids.
His body began to melt like a candle, unable to maintain its human form.
The Sharingan's light also dimmed.
"Is this... Might Guy's power?"
Kaori stood aside, holding the knife, completely unable to intervene.
This was the first time she had seen Might Guy, and he displayed such a terrifying side. This was no ordinary genin. This was—
monster.
"Damn it—this power—"
The strange man was terrified.
He never expected that such a taijutsu monster would be hiding in a corner of Konoha.
He has to escape. Otherwise, he'll really be torn to pieces.
He pulled out a smoke bomb.
Boom! Purple poisonous smoke billowed out.
"Cough cough!" Might Day was forced to retreat.
When the smoke cleared, the strange man was gone.
"They ran away?"
Dai scratched his head in frustration, exited the Eight Gates Formation, his body steaming and his skin flushed red.
"fine."
Sosuke jumped down from the high place.
He walked to the edge of the pit and used tweezers to pick up a piece of tissue that had been knocked off the monster—it was a piece of flesh.
Sosuke put the meat chunks into a test tube.
"The Demon Sprout Technique—it's not fully developed yet, so it can only devour a portion of the body—"
"What?!"
Uchiha Police Force, Third Division Captain's Office.
Uchiha Sōji slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"You mean the killer who hunted down your people attacked your warehouse last night?"
"Yes. We repelled him. But—"
Sosuke's eyes were serious.
"That killer is very powerful. He can use both Lightning Release and Earth Release chakra nature transformations, and now he's even using the Sharingan."
"Based on my speculation, he is very likely to possess the ability to absorb the five elemental chakras, or even bloodline limits."
"If we don't get rid of him soon, he'll probably become even stronger."
"rest assured."
Zongsi's eyes revealed a murderous intent.
"The entire security force will be mobilized. We'll turn Konoha upside down to find him!"
A week later.
Konoha Administrative Building.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, frowned as he looked at the report in his hand.
"The Uchiha clan—did they kill that corpse hunter?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The secret service member knelt on one knee to report.
"In the southern sewers, the Eighth Hokage personally led a team to corner the rogue ninja named Hiruko."
"After a fierce battle, he was killed."
"Where's the body?"
"They took him back with the Uchiha. They said they were going to hold a memorial service for the dead."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
It's the Uchiha again.
This incident further boosted the Uchiha clan's prestige within the village.
After all, they were protecting their companions and incidentally eliminating potential dangerous elements in the village.
The secret service and the regular army, however, seemed slow to react to this matter.
"That Sosuke from the Takaya Trading Company—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze fell on the corner of the report.
"It's said that he also provided the clues and severely injured the murderer?"
"Yes. According to intelligence, the killer was injured during the attack on his warehouse."
"A businessman, actually possessing this kind of fighting power?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.
"Have you investigated his background?"
"It's been checked. No problem. He learned his ninjutsu and taijutsu from people in the village. That retired Chunin named Genzo, and that other guy—Might Guy."
"Mattday?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment.
That perennial genin who only knows taijutsu?
"Yes. Might Guy displayed astonishing combat power. Green steam erupted from his entire body, and that amount of chakra—his kick shattered the enemy's defenses."
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.
Green steam—could it be the Eight Gates Formation, which is listed as a forbidden technique?
A marginalized genin actually possesses this kind of strength—
"Let's issue a commendation order to that Sousuke."
Hiruzen Sarutobi made his decision.
"Since he has made contributions and is a supplier for the garrison, let's give him a formal title."
"Name?"
"Special Jonin"
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a smoke ring.
"He's been promoted exceptionally. He's been granted the title of Special Jonin, but he has no real power; he only receives a stipend and the authority to accept missions."
This is a brilliant move. It brings Sousuke into Konoha's system.
Since he is a talented person, then let him become a talented person in Konoha.
Once he has this identity, he must abide by the rules of Konoha and be at the Hokage's beck and call.
This is both a form of enticement and a form of constraint.
the next day.
An appointment letter was delivered to the dilapidated West Street warehouse.
[Sousuke Takaya is hereby appointed as a Special Jonin of Konoha. He will be responsible for logistics management, and the research and supply of special materials.]
Looking at the document, Sosuke smiled.
"Special Jonin—and a logistics officer at that."
"That old man, he's really good at calculating."
But that's exactly what he wanted. With this skin, it would be much easier for him to get around the village.
Moreover, with this identity, he was qualified to access some high-level ninjutsu scrolls and classified information.
"Kaori".
Sousuke tossed the letter of appointment to Kaori.
"From today onwards, I am your boss."
Kaori remained silent.
She worked herself to the bone for so many years before finally becoming a Chunin.
The boss just spent some money, sold some water, and got into a fight, and he became a special Jonin?
In this world, it seems the rich still call the shots.
"Congratulations, boss."
