Naruto: Swarm System

Outside Takigakure.

After obtaining the item, Nagato, led by Kakuzu, left Takigakure without alerting anyone.

To prevent any users of the Flying Thunder God technique from noticing his purpose and coming to investigate, Nagato and Kakuzu avoided disturbing any ninjas in Takigakure.

As they left Takigakure, Kakuzu asked, "Where to next?"

Nagato looked up at the sky and replied slowly, "You continue with whatever you want to do. I'll proceed on my own."

With that, Nagato summoned the Yatagarasu, holding a scroll inscribed with "Roran Secret History," and flew towards the Land of Wind.

After Nagato left, Kakuzu glanced back at Takigakure and then turned away.

...

Elsewhere.

At the location where Shishou and Fuu were.

"Hey, Shishou, where are you planning to go?" Fuu asked.

"Take me with you. I'm pretty capable, you know. I can fly, fight, and escape..." Fuu kept chattering non-stop by Shishou's side.

She had never met someone of similar age who was willing to befriend her before, so after Shishou saved her, she clung to him.

Hearing the endless chatter from the Seven Tails Jinchuuriki, Shishou glanced at her with a blank expression.

Taking the Seven Tails was his original goal for coming to Takigakure.

But that was under the assumption of appearing as a user of the Flying Thunder God technique. How would he arrange things now that he was in the persona of Aburame Shishou?

Should he trick her into going to Konoha?

Hmm, that might be a good idea. Let her go to Konoha under the pretext of studying abroad. This way, Shishou could protect her and also keep her under control.

But before that, perhaps he should first subdue the girl in front of him.

Thinking this, Shishou finally spoke, "I'm heading to the Land of Earth to capture the S-class rogue ninja, Sasori of the Red Sand."

"It's better if you don't come."

Using a reverse psychology tactic, he aimed to pique her curiosity while showcasing his ability to handle an S-class rogue ninja alone.

Upon hearing this, Fuu's eyes lit up. She grabbed Shishou and exclaimed, "I want to go too! I want to catch an S-class rogue ninja too!!!"

"If I catch him before you, it means I'm stronger than you!!!"

Seeing Fuu's reaction, Shishou sighed in frustration. He intended to spark her curiosity, but it instead ignited her competitive spirit.

This girl's thought process was indeed unusual.

Then, Fuu suddenly extended two pairs of large insect wings from her back and said to Shishou, "Walking is too slow. I'll fly us there."

I could get there in an instant... Shishou thought to himself, extending his right hand, preparing for her to take his hand and fly together.

Fuu looked at Shishou's outstretched hand in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Shishou frowned, "Didn't you say you'd fly us to the Land of Earth?"

Fuu bent down, pointed to her back, and said earnestly, "Just get on my back. It's going to take a long time to fly. If I hold your hand, we could get knocked down easily."

"Ninjas need to keep their hands free, ready to use jutsu at any moment."

Hearing Fuu suggesting he sit on her back, Shishou was stunned. "You want me to ride... I mean, sit... well, that's not quite appropriate..."

Fuu glared at him and quickly said, "Just get on."

"Or do you want to grab my leg..."

Saying this, Fuu paused, then looked at Shishou with a knowing expression. "I didn't expect you to be a leg man."

As someone who frequently visited the Pleasure Street, Fuu was quite familiar with such things.

Hearing this, Shishou's face darkened.

This girl really dared to say anything!!!

He then spread his hands, "Your flying speed is probably not as fast as my Body Flicker Technique. Catch up to me first."

With that, Shishou turned into an afterimage and dashed towards the Land of Earth.

For Shishou now, even without using the Flying Thunder God technique, his Body Flicker Technique was almost as fast.

"Hahaha, Shishou, here I come!!!"

Seeing Shishou take off, Fuu was thrilled and immediately followed.

This was the first time someone her age was willing to compete with her, making her very excited.

The two raced each other, and as night fell, they reached the Land of Earth.

Seeing the night falling, Shishou decided to stop traveling and found a camping spot, using Earth Release to create a house.

However, upon seeing Fuu's strange look, he made another house.

For this mischievous girl who grew up hanging around Pleasure Street, Shishou had his hands full.

Afterwards, Shishou lit a campfire and took out cooking supplies from a storage scroll, beginning to prepare a meal under Fuu's admiring gaze.

After eating dinner together, Fuu cleaned the dishes and then sat by the campfire with Shishou, chatting.

Late at night, under Shishou's persuasion, Fuu went to sleep in the stone house.

After confirming that Fuu was truly asleep, Shishou approached her, pressing his hand on her neck to deepen her sleep.

Then, Shishou placed his hand on her exposed navel.

In the next moment, the Sharingan appeared in his eyes, and he directly entered Fuu's consciousness space.

"Seven Tails."

Seeing the ugly insect sleeping inside the seal, Shishou called it awake.

Hearing someone calling, Chomei, the Seven Tails, lifted its insect head.

Then, the Mangekyo Sharingan in Shishou's eyes appeared, making Chomei relive the encounters of the Nine-Tails Kurama and One-Tail Shukaku from start to finish.

Afterwards, Shishou returned to reality, summoning phosphorus insects to absorb all the Tailed Beast Chakra emerging from Fuu.

"Tsk, about 200 cards, not bad."

"Next, I just need to snatch the Four-Tails and Five-Tails from Nagato, and continue feeding back the chakra to the major Tailed Beasts. It shouldn't take long for me to fully awaken the bloodline of all Tailed Beasts."

"Maybe during the final battle with Nagato, I should take the Gedo Statue and prepare in advance."

"This way, when I fully awaken the Tailed Beast bloodline, I'll be ready for anything."

Thinking this, Shishou glanced at the sleeping Fuu and left the stone house, returning to the campfire.
