Chapter 112 Encountering a Tiny Weasel, First Meeting with Minato's Team
Early the next morning.
A sudden urge to urinate jolted Ishikawa awake from his dream, and he rushed to the bathroom, still half-asleep, to relieve himself.
But as soon as he reached the door, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom…
"Uh, I almost forgot this isn't my house." Ishikawa, who had already gripped the doorknob, paused, then instantly snapped back to reality and tried to pull his right hand back.
Just as he was about to withdraw, the door creaked open from the inside.
He bumped into Nohara Rin, who had just finished washing up! This sudden embarrassment left the two of them stunned and staring at each other for a moment.
"Cough cough, I, I..."
"No need to explain, go ahead." Ishikawa was about to explain with an awkward smile when Nohara Rin spoke first and strode out.
In the brief moment they brushed past each other, a faint blush crept onto her pretty face...
[It seems our conversation last night has made her trust me more! Sure enough, Lin is quite understanding.] Ishikawa thought to himself, quickly closing the door and rushing to the toilet.
[Is this what they call a community of shared destiny? This guy really doesn't care about the consequences at all.] Outside the door, hearing the clattering sound, Nohara Rin's cheeks flushed even more. She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and quickly put on her ninja tools, preparing to leave.
Yeah, we should try to avoid letting Ishikawa stay overnight here in the future; it's too inconvenient!
Two minutes later, when Ishikawa finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, Nohara Rin had already tidied up and looked brand new.
"Miss Lin, thank you for your help today!" Ishikawa's eyes lit up when he saw Lin's bright eyes, white teeth, and slightly flushed cheeks. After exchanging a few polite words, he walked towards the single sofa.
"Ishikawa, after you possess someone, will you be able to see everything I do?" Just as Ishikawa was about to form a hand seal, Nohara Rin suddenly remembered something and asked nervously.
If that's the case, she'll have to seriously consider whether or not to let Ishikawa possess her! Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be when she goes to the bathroom...?
"Don't worry, to conserve chakra and ensure a longer possession, I will only see what I want to see through your eyes. As for anything else, I will block the visual link." Looking at the hesitant Nohara Rin, Ishikawa knew exactly what was going on and explained meaningfully, forming hand seals.
"Is that so?" Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief, still having some trust in him.
If Ishikawa wanted to see anything, he had already done so last night through his red eyes…
"Spiritualization Technique..." As Nohara Rin's cheeks flushed with excitement, Ishikawa completed the hand seals and uttered a low, deep shout.
With a whoosh...
Nohara Rin saw a blue and white spirit float out from above Ishikawa's head, and before she could react, the spirit of Ishikawa crashed into her body.
"This is the Spirit Transformation Technique? So fast! It's completely different from the last time." Nohara Rin stared blankly at Ishikawa's main body, who was leaning back on the sofa like a lost soul, looking a bit bewildered.
Last time, Ishikawa could only manifest half of his spirit, but this time he was able to instantly possess someone else's body.
"Hehe, although my Spirit Transformation Technique can now leave my body and possess other beings, it's not as powerful as you imagine. Right now, I can only fly and possess other beings within a one-kilometer radius at most. Any further and my chakra probably won't be able to hold up."
"One kilometer? That's already amazing, Ishikawa." Hearing the voice in her mind, Nohara Rin snapped back to reality and was shocked once again.
Killing an enemy from a kilometer away was something she dared not even think about! Unexpectedly, she could detect a hint of disdain in Ishikawa's tone.
[Heh! Their Edo Tensei can traverse at least several hundred kilometers across a single battlefield. Although it's possible they exploited a bug in the Edo Tensei, this still gives a glimpse into the vast difference between us!] Ishikawa's spirit muttered to himself, showing no smugness about his current achievements.
Putting aside the limitations of distance, he is currently unable to effectively use his perception of souls and spirits to kill enemies.
As is well known, chakra is the fusion of spiritual and physical energy. And the amount of chakra one possesses can generally indicate the strength of an enemy's soul.
Ishikawa's current spiritual state allows him to kill genin (low-ranking ninja) as easily as slaughtering dogs and chickens. He can handle chunin (middle-ranking ninja) with some difficulty, but against special jonin (high-ranking ninja) or jonin (high-ranking ninja), he'll struggle and might even be killed!
The consumption of the Spirit Transformation Technique is disproportionate to its results. With that much chakra, he could use his red eyes, earth release, and swordsmanship to launch a sneak attack, which would even make a Jonin suffer if they weren't careful.
Overall, the Spirit Transformation Technique is somewhat useless for Ishikawa right now, but it can still be surprisingly useful in other applications!
For example, the ability to sense and transmit information across a distance of one kilometer, and the ability to transfer chakra to companions.
"Let's go, I'll show you a different side of Konoha!" Almost as Ishikawa was lost in thought, Nohara Rin had already stepped out of her house and onto the streets of Konoha.
Through Nohara Rin's gaze, a desolate and oppressive war-torn Konoha came to Ishikawa's mind. Along the way, few people were laughing and joking; most were hurrying along with serious expressions.
At this time, Konoha was being eyed by four major ninja villages: Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure. Everyone could feel the cruelty of war and the heavy dark clouds hanging over their heads...
"Wait, that child is Uchiha Itachi..." Suddenly, Ishikawa saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure and subconsciously murmured to attract Rin's attention.
"Oh? You mean the son of the Uchiha clan head? Obito once said that kid was very smart." Nohara Rin looked at the toddler Itachi who had come out to buy groceries with his mother. "What? Will he be famous later?"
At this time, Itachi Uchiha was only two years old, still a harmless little tagalong following his mother around.
"Of course he's famous! He's the genius Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 13, but..."
"Never mind, that's a long story. I'll tell you the details another time. Let's go now. I can't wait to see the Fourth Hokage and my young teacher!"
"A genius who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 13? Wait, what is the Mangekyou Sharingan? Isn't the Sharingan only available in single tomoe to three tomoe?" Nohara Rin glanced at Itachi and quickened her pace, asking in her mind.
She had heard a lot from Obito these past few days about the Sharingan. He said he was a genius who awakened the two tomoe, that he received the attention and training of the Uchiha clan leader, and that she learned about Itachi's existence through Obito during that time.
"I heard it's a dojutsu above the three-tomoe Sharingan! I don't know the specifics, but it's a pair of terrifying eyes." Ishikawa casually brushed it off, not wanting Rin to know too much about the Uchiha clan yet.
The Uchiha clan is a very complicated matter; it's best not to act rashly to avoid getting burned.
However, Ishikawa still managed to record the soul aura of the pygmy weasel without Rin Nohara's knowledge.
"Lin, you're finally here!"
As they strolled through the streets, Ishikawa had barely arrived at the familiar Class 7 meeting point when he heard Obito's excited shouts.
Through Rin's gaze, he saw the hot-blooded Obito, who was both licking and silly, and the unruly boy Kakashi beside him.
And, the legendary story of someone who gets killed off right at the start of the game only exists in the legendary Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze.
