Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#383 - Deliver it to your door!

Returning to the Third Squad and reporting the information he had obtained, Jiraiya, whose usually youthful face was still carrying a hint of expectation, immediately fell silent.

Following that, the old guy began to furrow his brow and ponder deeply.

Clearly, as a prominent figure who had traveled throughout the ninja world for many years, and having witnessed the ups and downs of various events, this guy understood that the current situation was not optimistic.

With the ninja world war potentially erupting at any moment, and the enemies they faced being even more unfathomable, the appearance of a pair of Rinnegan eyes further intensified the sense of urgency in Jiraiya's heart.

However, to say that he would give up on this matter was equally unrealistic.

Whether from the perspective of personal friendship or the threat of war, Orochimaru had to be rescued, which was the essential premise for the Third Squad's existence and formation.

Thus, in the following time, the search and rescue operation continued.

At the same time, Jiraiya, concerned about the safety of the ninja world, also assigned Liang Yue another task~

That was, he needed to maintain constant contact between the village and the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron, ensuring daily communication of information between the two locations and their side in necessary situations…

This was truly a real-life example of ~ those above moving their mouths while those below run their legs off ~

With the ultra-mobility granted by the Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu, Liang Yue could naturally achieve repeated jumps and rapid transfers between the three locations.

However, the consumption of chakra, or rather, spiritual energy, was not something that ordinary ninjas could bear.

Moreover, the consumption involved in this type of large-scale, long-distance transfer space-time ninjutsu was even more unimaginable for ordinary people.

Think about the Fourth Hokage in the original storyline, who nearly exhausted all the chakra in his body just by using the Flying Thunder God Technique a few times at short distances during Obito's invasion of Konoha.

As a result, unable to continue, he had to sacrifice himself for the village at a young age.

Fortunately~ Liang Yue didn't care about this bit of consumption~

After creating a shadow clone and controlling it to run to a secluded place nearby to cultivate, he happily accepted this task…

… …

In this way, unknowingly, another week passed in the tense but unproductive pace of the group's progress.

As in the original storyline, during this period, in order to protect Naruto and Killer B, the only remaining Jinchuriki units in the Five Great Ninja Villages, the two were sent to the legendary Turtle Island under the joint decision of the Hokage and Raikage.

Many guards, led by elite ninjas, also went with them.

Turtle Island was an island located on the back of a giant turtle, inhabited by many giant creatures that were intelligent and spoke human language, the kind that could be used as summoning beasts.

In addition, there was also a mental trial ground behind a waterfall, which allowed the trial-taker to face their own dark side, helping to eliminate inner demons, and was said to be of great help to the Jinchuriki in mastering the power of the Tailed Beasts.

Liang Yue was very curious about this mental trial ground and always wanted to go in and explore, but unfortunately, he had no chance to enter for the time being.

What was different from the original storyline was that Sasuke didn't come to disrupt the Five Kage Summit this time, and Obito hadn't run over to declare war on the Five Kage either.

Moreover, the return of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B, was not because he had been reminded by Obito and was brought back by the Raikage himself.

His appearance was accidental, as he was found by Jiraiya and Liang Yue's Third Squad in a mountain forest where a ninja world musician had been living in seclusion.

Subsequently, Liang Yue personally provided remote express delivery service, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer him several times to the Five Kage Summit…

… …

On this day, the Third Squad to which the group belonged was aimlessly patrolling a forest located at the border between the Land of Iron and the Land of Rice Fields.

At this time, the sky above was somewhat gloomy, and strong winds blew through the sky from time to time, disturbing the trees and causing them to sway.

Through the dense trees and branches around, flashes of lightning occasionally shone down.

In such an environment, the people in the squad couldn't help but feel a little nervous, interpreting every rustle of leaves as a potential enemy, and they would send out scouts from time to time to conduct small-scale investigations in various directions.

However, it was no wonder that the people in the team were nervous.

Although the great war in the ninja world had not yet officially begun, some sporadic harassment had already appeared on the road the Third Squad was traveling.

Although those strange, pale-skinned people were not outstanding in strength, and even had some problems with their intelligence, they were good at hiding their tracks due to their large numbers, making it a situation where the enemy was hidden and they were exposed.

After several days in a row, it was inevitable that everyone would feel a little tired of dealing with it.

In comparison, Liang Yue should be the most relaxed person in the team, after all, whether it was Byakugan or spiritual sense, he could detect the traces of these White Zetsu in time.

As long as they intruded into a certain range around the squad, they would inevitably be noticed by him, and then he would send them to the west without hesitation.

Compared to the tense state of other people, Liang Yue was rather enjoying it, after all, killing White Zetsu also granted experience!

Closing together from left to right, it wrapped the head inside.

More importantly, this thing had a unique, half-black and half-white body!

At this moment, this figure was hiding in the branches of a large tree more than a hundred meters away from the Third Squad, with half of its body submerged in the tree trunk.

Hiding in the flickering shadows, it quietly looked over.

"Black Zetsu, finally couldn't help but show up?"

After discovering this, Liang Yue suddenly perked up, and a faint arc unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Facing this target person who was in the must-kill ranks of his main mission in this descent to the ninja world, Liang Yue suddenly became excited for some reason.

Almost the next moment after noticing the other party, Liang Yue started without hesitation.

With his superhuman physical fitness, he burst out from the spot in an instant!

The whole person turned into a phantom, heading straight towards the other party without any concealment!

At the same time, in order to prevent Black Zetsu from escaping, the spiritual energy in Liang Yue's body also surged in an instant, pouring into his pair of Byakugan at all costs.

Only halfway through the flight, a bright cyan robe had already condensed around Liang Yue's body with the drastic consumption of spiritual power.

The edges of this robe were like flowing flames, instantly illuminating the surrounding originally dim forest!

Also illuminated was Black Zetsu's face, full of astonishment~

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
