Chapter 222: The Map of the Ninja World
'If it's just a pseudo-Jinchuriki, forget it.'
Now that he had mastered the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai and had the support of Samehada, becoming a pseudo-Jinchuriki would not significantly increase his strength. Perhaps suppressing the scorching chakra would even affect it. It would be better to find a ninja like Sora and empower the Nine-Tails' chakra, paving the way to fuse into a miniature Ten-Tails and gain the power of the Six Paths. If he remembered correctly, the full nine beasts were not required; using some as the main form and adding the chakra of the others should suffice.
'Fusing a partial Ten-Tails might even avoid the risk of releasing Kaguya.'
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He now possessed the chakra of the Nine and Five-Tails. With more than twenty years until Naruto's time, there was plenty of time.
"The Power of the Six Paths is too far away. For now, we must stay safe."
Sasuke temporarily sealed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and, instead of rejoining Gato and the others, he returned to Konoha, found Duy and Shun, and then mounted Shirotaka towards the Hidden Sky Village.
"Shun, is this map crooked?" Sasuke asked, noticing that the axes were not well aligned.
"Sasuke-sama, look at these two locations," Shun pointed out.
Sasuke noticed that Konoha and the Daimyo's Palace were aligned. If the map were viewed with a real orientation, Konoha would clearly be further north.
"So, for supposed political reasons, the map of the ninja world was skewed?" he was speechless at the blatant nature of the ruling class. A seemingly small map revealed the problems facing the entire world.
"You really can't expect too much from these insects," he said, shaking his head.
"Sasuke-sama, watch your words!" Shun warned him. Although he sympathized with his philosophies, he considered them too radical.
"Mmm," Sasuke said, and put away the map.
Guided by his clone's memories, locating Konoha's pursuit forces was not difficult. Led by Shibi, they were advancing at a breakneck speed. By the time Sasuke and his group arrived at the Hidden Valley Village, they had already secretly surrounded it.
"Spore Jutsu!"
Numerous shadow clones disappeared underground, directly controlling the Valley ninjas who were manipulating the chakra cannons.
"Attack!" Sasuke exclaimed, and the Konoha ninjas, like tigers, charged at the unsuspecting village.
Faced with the elite ninjas, the Hidden Valley Village, having lost its Angkor Fortress, was completely defenseless and was easily defeated. Although the village was weak and its loot scarce, they possessed valuable items, including the blueprints for a chakra cannon.
"Water Mirror Rubbing Technique!"
Sasuke also obtained a reward, finding the opportunity to copy the blueprints.
Just as they had finished clearing the battlefield, Dodai of the Hidden Cloud Village arrived with a large contingent of elite Kumo ninjas.
