SWNOVELXO Chapter 161: Chakra Is Exhausted, Sasuke Has Not Been Found Yet
When Mizuki took Naruto back to Phoenix Village, Kushina teleported to Naruto.
Naruto was so happy that he finally felt his mother's love.
He was full of anticipation, ready to fall into his mother's warm embrace.
But what greeted him was not a hug of love.
Instead, a ruthless iron fist!
"Bang!"
Naruto was knocked directly to the ground, and a big bump swelled up on the top of his head at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Naruto covered his head with tears in his eyes.
"Mom, why did you hit me?"
Kushina said loudly: "If I don't hit you, who will I hit?"
"Who asked you to worry me?"
"Tell me, what did you do in Konoha?"
"If we hadn't just set up a barrier and used you for experiments, and found that you were in crisis in Konoha, do you know how serious the consequences would be?"
Naruto scratched his head and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm back safely. Mom, please don't be angry. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
From Kushina's tone and demeanor, Naruto felt a strong sense of care.
His heart was filled with warmth.
However, the pain on the top of his head told him that this maternal love seemed a little different from what he imagined.
"Humph!" Kushina rolled her eyes and said no more.
"You haven't told me why you suddenly ran to Konoha?" Kushina asked again.
Naruto was silent, his eyes showing sadness.
"Little Sakura is dead! She was killed during the mission."
Kushina looked puzzled: "Who is little Sakura?"
Naruto: "Well, little Sakura was my best classmate in Konoha Shinobi School, and she was also my classmate in Class 7 later."
Kushina: "Companion?"
Mizuki stood behind Naruto and moved his lips.
Kushina understood immediately.
"Well, the death of your companion is indeed unacceptable to you at a young age."
"But Naruto, you have to know that ninjas are a high-risk profession and you can die at any time during the mission."
"It is an honor for a ninja to die on the mission, and it is also her own choice."
"You shouldn't go to Konoha to demand accountability for little Sakura's death. This is an insult and trample on little Sakura's career as a ninja."
Naruto shook his head.
"Mom, I understand everything you said."
"But little Sakura's death..."
He was silent for a moment, his voice slightly hoarse, and said: "From Teacher Kakashi's eyes and tone, I can confirm that little Sakura's death was definitely not an accident."
"This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy from the top brass of Konoha."
"Sasuke and I followed Master Mizuki to defect from Konoha, but little Sakura is innocent. She did not defect, nor did she plan to defect. Why would Konoha do this?"
Naruto's eyes were filled with confusion and anger.
Both Mizuki and Kushina were silent.
Kushina said: "Naruto, some things are not as beautiful as you think. As a former companion of you and Sasuke, it is normal for the top management of Konoha to doubt Sakura. They will worry that Sakura will become a spy."
Mizuki also said: "Little Sakura likes Sasuke and is even willing to defect for Sasuke. If Sasuke inquires about Konoha's information from her, she may tell him. This is what Konoha's top brass is worried about."
"So, they would rather nip the hidden dangers before they start."
"This is the rotten Konoha."
Naruto fell silent again.
After a while, he raised his head and regained the sunlight.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, I'm going to find Grandma Tsunade and transplant the Rinnegan."
"If I have the chance, I will resurrect little Sakura."
"I want to improve my strength and continue to become stronger. Little Sakura's death must not be left alone. I want revenge on Konoha."
Kushina frowned: "Rinnegan? Transplant? Naruto, what's going on?"
Naruto: "Master Mizuki gave me the Rinnegan that he took from Obito."
Kushina immediately said: "No, this is too precious. You can't take it Naruto, please give it back to you Mizuki."
Mizuki smiled and said: "It's just a Rinnegan, it's nothing. I originally planned to give it to my disciples. And among the several disciples, only Naruto's Uzumaki clan bloodline can withstand the Rinnegan."
"And you and Minato both died because of Obito, so it's most appropriate to give this Sharingan to Naruto."
Kushina wanted to say something else, but Mizuki waved her hand to interrupt.
"Okay, this matter is settled!"
Then he said: "Now that you have time, Kushina, do me a favor and use the barrier to find Sasuke's location."
When Naruto heard about looking for Sasuke, he became excited.
Mizuki: "Naruto, go to Sasuke's house and find a piece of Sasuke's hair to bring."
Naruto went to do it immediately.
Soon, Naruto found a piece of Sasuke's hair, and the three of them came to the barrier room together.
Kushina started the operation, while Mizuki was responsible for injecting Chakra into the barrier to expand the coverage of the barrier.
Ten miles, a hundred miles, three hundred miles, five hundred miles, eight hundred miles...
The Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Fire, the barrier has enveloped most of these three countries.
But Sasuke was still nowhere to be found.
"The range is not enough, more Chakra is needed." Kushina said.
Mizuki smiled bitterly and chose to stop.
"My Chakra has bottomed out!"
The larger the barrier, the more Chakra is needed. At this time, the Chakra in Mizuki's body is indeed almost exhausted.
The previous use of the barrier to find Naruto cost a lot of Chakra.
Later, I experienced a war, one normal Tengai Shinsei, one Sage Art Tengai Shinsei, plus several Wind Style. Rasen Shuriken, and then cast Rinne Tensei Technique to revive Naruto.
The 200-card magical Chakra was completely consumed, and the 560-card ordinary Chakra had less than 50 cards left.
His current Chakra recovery speed is 2.5 cards/minute.
About twenty minutes have passed since leaving Konoha. Chakra has recovered somewhat, but only to about 100 calories.
Now, the 100 calories of Chakra are almost exhausted, but Sasuke is still not found.
From this point of view, Sasuke is not close to the Kingdom of Birds!
Possibly in the Kingdom of Thunder, or the Kingdom of Water further away.
"After I recover my full chakra, I'll start looking for Sasuke again!"
Mizuki is not in a hurry either.
Now that I have this super large sensory barrier, I no longer have to worry about finding Sasuke.
"Naruto, please go back to Rock Shinobi Village first. The five of them are in Rock Shinobi Village. I'm not worried."
"In addition, if you meet people in Konoha, don't conflict with them. If you want to avenge little Sakura, you should also seek out Orochimaru and Danzo. It has nothing to do with others."
Mizuki was worried that the Chūnin exam would be affected, so he gave special instructions, fearing that Naruto would come and disrupt the plan.
After Naruto left, Mizuki left the barrier room and found a place to meditate to refine Chakra and speed up the recovery of Chakra.
Half an hour later, the Chakra is restored to full.
Find Kushina again and use the barrier again to search for Sasuke's location.
"560 calories of Chakra is enough to expand the scope of the barrier to cover all five major countries. There should be many small countries."
"We should have no problem finding Sasuke."
However, the results surprised him.
He injected 99% of the Chakra into the barrier, and the barrier covered all five countries. Even the Kingdom of the Sea, which was further away than the Kingdom of Water, was shrouded in the barrier.
But Sasuke's traces are still there.
"What's going on? Why can't I still find Sasuke?"
Mizuki found it extremely difficult.
Kushina said: "There are three possibilities, either Sasuke is further away, or Sasuke is dead."
At this point, she paused and continued: "Either, Sasuke is not in the ninja world, in the Summoning secret realm, or in the sealed space."
Sasuke is not dead, this Mizuki can be 100% sure of.
As for Summoning the secret realm, it is really possible that Sasuke has a connection with Ryūchi Cave, and he might have entered Ryūchi Cave.
But Sasuke does not have the qualifications to practice Sage Mode, so even if he is in Ryūchi Cave, he will not stay long.
As for places further away...
"Kushina, you know, what's further out there?"
Mizuki's knowledge of the ninja world is limited to the five major countries, as well as some familiar small countries.
It was too far away and he had no idea.
But he knew clearly that the ninja world beneath his feet was a planet.
The five major countries are located in only a small area of this planet.
There are even more vast oceans and lands that people don’t understand.
Kushina recalled: "The area where the five major countries are located is the area where humans live. And outside this area, there is boundless wilderness."
"That is the territory of the Summoning beasts, and there are no traces of human life. The nine tailed beasts also lived in that uninhabited wilderness before they were captured by the five major nations."
"It is said that the three Summoning Holy Lands, Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shiggou Forest, also exist in that wilderness. However, the three Holy Lands are surrounded by barriers and form their own space."
"If you want to go to the three holy places, you can only go through specific passages or reverse the Summoning Technique!"
Mizuki nodded.
Sasuke left Phoenix Village for revenge, and it was impossible for him to go to such a remote place by himself.
Therefore, the remaining possibilities are the three holy places.
Most likely Ryūchi Cave.
Despite this speculation, Mizuki couldn't be sure. What if Sasuke had a fever and really ran into the wilderness?
But no matter what, Lieutenant Commander saved him from death.
"My Chakra is not enough to expand the barrier to cover the entire planet."
"It seems that we need to continue to increase the amount of chakra."
Nearly 600 calories of Chakra may seem like a lot, but compared to a real dick, it’s still not enough.
Naruto himself has 100 cards of Chakra. With the help of Nine Tails, the Chakra is almost endless.
But even Naruto, who became a perfect Jinchūriki, couldn't match the Chakra amount of Senju Hashirama.
During the Fourth War, when Hashirama saw Naruto, he sighed: His Chakra is almost catching up with me!
This is why, when Hashirama takes action, he performs all kinds of earth-shattering ninjutsu.
There is no need to worry about not having enough Chakra.
Mizuki also wants so much Chakra, preferably more than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's Chakra.
He took out the Hero's Water and thought to himself: "Let's put the Eight Inner Gates away for now and wait until next month. Now I need Chakra, so I have to give Xiao Li a mouthful of Hero's Water."
"I hope the refund multiplier triggered will not be too low!"
