Chapter 230: The Art of Sending Heads
The purpose of the Ino-Shika-Cho's trip was not to arrange a marriage, but to get the Raikage's son. After a brief exchange of words, they left Sasuke to entertain the prisoner. It was a genuine treat, not torture, and the treatment was very courteous. Clearly, they had received instructions from Hiruzen to get involved in a political mess with him.
"Shun, has your eye power increased again?" Sasuke asked. As his own strength grew, he became more and more sensitive to auras, and he could even feel fluctuations in the Sharingan's power.
"Thank you for your kind advice, sir," Shun replied, retracting his crimson Sharingan, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Sasuke envied this guy's ability to constantly improve his strength. "Shun, if you weren't married yet, would you have already opened your Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"My Lord Commander, please stop making fun of me. Opening the Mangekyo isn't that easy," he replied, not believing his talent was that great.
"Shun, it's better not to open it. If you did, you might not accept it," Sasuke said, with a strange pity in his gaze.
The arrival of the Ino-Shika-Cho marked the end of the break. The escort team had to continue their journey. There was no need for Aoi's interrogation team to stay, so Sasuke used the Flying Thunder God to teleport them back to the front.
'The Flying Thunder God Technique is so useful!' he thought. After receiving Mito's guidance on the sealing technique, even his original body, without the help of clones, could teleport four people at once.
After fully mastering it, he discovered that the jutsu's strength was not due to the technique itself, but to Minato's exceptional reaction speed. Without his reflexes, using it in combat would be extremely dangerous; an elite jonin's instincts could quickly counterattack. The true Flying Thunder God was more of a technique that could send a head a thousand miles away.
'With my current reflexes, I shouldn't have too many problems facing elite jonin. After a while, I should be able to hold my own against even Kage-level powerhouses,' he thought, his confidence soaring. He knew that cultivating the Lightning Style Chakra Mode not only increased strength, but also reaction speed.
Furthermore, he had secretly marked both A and Dodai with the Flying Thunder God seal, waiting for Hiruzen to release them so he could discreetly eliminate them. Observing A chatting and laughing with the Ino-Shika-Cho, Sasuke's eyes flashed with a subtle killing intent. All the way, this guy had been clamoring for another duel, completely oblivious to his captivity.
"Shun, prepare for the captive surrender ceremony."
Upon approaching Konoha, Sasuke finally unrolled a scroll and released the loot, especially the chakra cannons. The air ninjas were chained, and the new forehead protectors were aged and blood-stained, and then they were piled in several open-air carriages.
