Chapter 208: The Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu
For the next few days, Sasuke remained in the Land of Waves, releasing numerous shadow clones and diligently perfecting the Earth Style techniques from the Scroll of Seals. The Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu and the Hardening Jutsu were particularly effective. Mastering the former granted the ability to fly, and the latter was like adding a layer of armor, significantly increasing his defense. Furthermore, he discovered he could superimpose the Hardening Jutsu with his Adhesive Armor, raising his defense to the maximum.
The upgraded Adhesive Armor, now B-rank, had three layers. His newly acquired superhuman strength, a punch Tsunade had taught Nawaki as payment, combined with the Heavy Rock Technique, barely managed to pierce the three layers in a single blow.
"Brother-in-law, I've mastered the art of erasing my face and the art of hardening. Now I can go to the Land of Grass front, right?" Nawaki asked him.
"Alright, but once you're on the battlefield, you must obey orders, or I'll send you back here," Sasuke warned him.
After confirming he was serious, Nawaki jumped for joy. "Yes!" he cheered.
"Don't move. If the spatial rift cuts off your limbs, I won't be responsible," Sasuke said, holding him as he ordered his clones to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Upon returning to the front, he felt a chilling atmosphere pervading the base.
"Captain, who is this? Why does he look so much like you?" Tekudo asked upon seeing Nawaki. "Could he be your illegitimate child? I heard you had an affair with Ruriyu from Sand and cheated on Arashi. Could this little one be that Scorpion?"
"Tekudo, you want to get in trouble again, don't you? This is my distant cousin, Itsuki. Please take good care of him," Sasuke said, pushing Nawaki in front of Tekudo.
Under the guidance of the experienced Tekudo, Nawaki quickly familiarized himself with the unit's affairs. Shortly after, an ANBU approached them with an urgent mission, personally commissioned by the Third Hokage.
"The Kamizuru clan plans to launch a surprise attack against Konoha?" Sasuke wondered upon reading the scroll. They had the audacity to use their wood bees to stealthily cross the defense line and attack the village directly. If they succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous.
'Onoki, since you dared to carry out such a diabolical plan, you can't blame me for retaliating against you in the same way,' he thought, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The most urgent task was to return to the village and stop them. Soon, the Aburame clan's ninjas arrived at the unit's base.
"Commander Umino, we apologize for bothering you this time," Aburame Shibi said.
"It's all for Konoha, let's go now!" Sasuke replied, and summoned Shirotaka, intending to rush back to the village with everyone.
"Commander Umino," Shibi said subtly, "although this hawk is an adult and has enormous carrying capacity, it will probably take us quite a while to carry so many, right?"
"No problem, I do what I want," Sasuke said confidently, and he jumped onto Shirotaka's back, followed by Shun and Duy.
