Chapter 69: Hokage's Special Permission!
"Then I'll head back now." After receiving permission from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fukuyo turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly called out to him, looking at Fushiko's "youthful" figure, took a deep drag on his pipe, hesitated for a long time, then put down his pipe and picked up his pen.
He took out a scroll from the drawer and began writing in front of Fukuko, then stamped the scroll with the Hokage's seal.
"What does it say?" Fukuyo leaned out to look, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to let him see.
"Act first, then report later—with the Hokage's special permission?"
Fu Heiyao read it once and gave a summary.
"Sending a child like you to the battlefield is already a dereliction of duty on my part as Hokage. If something happens to you, I will have no face to face the previous Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi handed the scroll he had written to Fushiko.
"Orochimaru and Danzo are the commanders of the Amegakure battlefield. I trust Orochimaru, but if Danzo wants to order you to do some dangerous missions, you can refuse."
"If he orders you in the name of Konoha, then give him this scroll."
When it comes to understanding Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi is undoubtedly number one, with no one daring to claim second place.
Danzo would deliberately keep a low profile in Konoha, but on a battlefield fraught with danger, a seasoned veteran like Danzo would have a thousand ways to kill Fukuyo.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi provided Obsidian Fushi with an insurance policy.
An insurance policy that prioritizes survival in dire circumstances.
In his view, if the Rain Village War represents the present, then Fukuko represents the future.
Sacrificing the future for the present is unnecessary unless this war concerns the very survival of Konoha.
As for the news from Danzo that Fushiko had contracted a bloodline disease and was nearing the end of his life, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to laugh when he heard it.
He even asked Fu Heiyao about this, and after being treated with a technique called "Mimicry of Yang Escape" called Reversal Technique, he stopped believing those rumors.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust made Fushiko a little embarrassed.
He actually disliked Hiruzen Sarutobi when he first transmigrated.
However, perhaps because the insertion point was too perfect, Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly exceptional in his abilities.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You fought for Konoha, and I'm just giving you the protection you deserve."
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe again, a smile playing on his lips.
"Remember to change your equipment before you leave. Amegakure is not like the Land of Fire; swords have no eyes."
"Okay, I know. You're so long-winded."
.........
As soon as Fu Heiyao stepped out of the Hokage Building, he saw a beautiful red-haired woman wearing a white coat with swirling patterns embroidered on the sleeves.
"Hikaru, why didn't you say goodbye before leaving?" Kushina smiled, ignoring the bulging veins on her forehead, her cute face hinting at a future charm.
Fushiko wasn't surprised by Kushina's supposed ability to foresee the future.
Ever since Fukuyo used the rabbit as a medium to seal part of Kushina's shadow, the two have developed a strange tacit understanding.
Fushiko could guess Kushina's emotions, and Kushina could also guess Fushiko's.
Facing the impending rampage of Kushina, Fushiko showed no fear whatsoever.
The "couple on the opposing lane" refers to him and Kushina.
The two don't always agree, and they sometimes have disagreements. In such cases, they'll adjust their values to be roughly the same and then have a fight.
Then, the facts were presented, the reasoning was explained, and the person who made the mistake apologized to the winner.
Over the past year, Fu Heiyao has won more than he lost, so he naturally has nothing to be ashamed of.
He glanced at the passersby entering and leaving the Hokage Building, temporarily neutralized the Sharingan with the Reversal Technique, then waved and beckoned Kushina to go home.
This is a byproduct of Fukuko's research on the Reversal Technique, injecting positive curse power to temporarily neutralize the Sharingan.
"Wouldn't it be better to stay and keep me company!?" Kushina said, puffing out her cheeks as she walked away, looking utterly humiliated.
"Wouldn't it be better if we stayed together to study sealing techniques and your psychic abilities?"
Kushina felt that she had a very happy year.
Because of her research on the escape techniques and sealing arts, she could stay with Fu Heiyao until very late without any restraint, and they even had common topics to discuss.
Kushina especially enjoyed the feeling of narrowly defeating Fukuyo, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
"Why are we suddenly being sent to the battlefield?!"
Despite Kushina's seemingly heavy words, Fushiko Yo was unimpressed and even deliberately stirred things up.
"Kushina, if I had to give a reason, it would be that you're too weak."
Fushiko said something that left Kushina speechless.
"Just like I promised you before, the opportunity to bind me is just around the corner, but you still haven't been able to seize it."
"But even though you're so strong, you haven't restrained me." Kushina didn't fall into Fushiko's trap, but instead asked in return.
"I'm not stupid, but I want you to become stronger, and my desire to fight alongside me is very strong," Fu Heiyao said frankly when he realized he had been exposed.
This was the initial purpose of Fushiko's contact with Kushina, which is why he has been encouraging Kushina to become stronger.
"Yes, I will." Kushina's voice was firm and resolute.
Through Fu Heiya's subtle influence, she developed a desire for power and the right to choose.
She used to see the Nine-Tails inside Grandma Mito as a calamity, but now she only thinks of it that way.
Corresponding to calamity is power.
She wanted to tame this beast and then use the power she gained to teach Fu Heiyao a lesson.
Fukuyo could roughly sense Kushina's thoughts, but he simply shook his head.
He believes Kushina will be able to tame the Nine-Tails in the future, but he will become stronger before that happens.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the door of Fu Heiyao's house.
"If I turn evil and imprison you, will you hate me?" Kushina asked half-jokingly.
"Kushina, don't talk about things that are impossible." Fushiko chuckled, as if he'd heard a funny joke. "I'm the strongest!"
Fu Heiyao's growth rate is astonishing.
That year, the chakra within him underwent a qualitative change after being purified by the Sharingan.
The so-called Yin-Yang Chakra is not simply spiritual energy and cellular life energy.
They are like the Tai Chi symbol.
Yang Dun is the ability of cellular life to mix with a little spiritual energy.
Yin Dun is naturally a mixture of spiritual energy and a trace of cellular life energy.
When Fukuko extracted chakra, the ratio of spiritual energy to cellular life energy exceeded 9:1.
The score is now 9.1:0.9.
This chakra, which is almost purified into Yin Release, has better compatibility with curse power and is more efficient in converting Yin Release techniques such as Mikuriya and the Ten Shadows Technique.
Furthermore, he combined shikigami with ninjutsu and shikigami to develop his own unique fighting style.
Whether it's the fundamentals of chakra or the application of shikigami, he has undergone a complete transformation.
Kushina's only chance to defeat Fushiko is to become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki and immediately reconcile with the Nine-Tails.
But it's obviously impossible.
Even if he could purify the negative emotions on the Nine-Tails, it wouldn't be possible.
The two are not compatible.
When two proud and arrogant people get together, they're like two wild beasts wary of each other. Unless there's immense pressure involving life and death, there's no way they can talk about reconciliation.
Before leaving, Fukuyo cooked a meal for Kushina: braised beef brisket with tomatoes.
After feeding Kushina to her heart's content, Fushiko used a high-pressure water jet from a giant elephant to clean the specially made bowl before giving Kushina a glimpse of the back of her head.
"Don't worry, I'll come back if I encounter anything I can't beat."
He suddenly disappeared from her lingering gaze, then popped out of Kushina's shadow and gave her a princess carry.
"What a hypocrite," Kushina said sweetly, tapping Fushiko's chest.
This is also why Kushina wasn't too worried.
The shadow is a projection of the soul, and this was the result of Fushiko's year-long in-depth study of Kushina's soul projection.
He finally managed to mimic the effect of Kushina's shadow and deceive her by merging into her shadow, which was then sealed away by Kushina.
Kushina is equivalent to Fushiko's Flying Thunder God Mark. Although he can't cosplay Minato's return home, he can still be used as a one-time return-to-base item.
When he had just succeeded, Fukuyo even used this move to take Kushina on a flight around the Valley of the End to celebrate.
Fu Heiyao is really gone this time.
As for Nawaki and Minato, Fukuko was not prepared to say goodbye to them.
Compared to Kushina, whose personality became more dashing after he was raised, the other two seemed a bit pretentious.
Fukuyo was worried about Nawaki's overly enthusiastic attitude, and also about Minato's hidden reluctance behind his smile.
He is not good at dealing with either of these types.
He's just going to Amegakure for a short trip; it's not like it's a matter of life and death.
Moreover, he learned his lesson this time and didn't plant a flag before leaving, which greatly reduced the possibility of accidents.
