Chapter 583: Rasa's Troubles

Everything Fujin had said until that point, though true, was completely bullshit. The real reason why Fujin used this technique was to get a better hang of Takeshi's Scorch Release! Apart from being able to study his soul, this was the main reason why Fujin wanted this jutsu and willingly traded top-quality human puppets with Hiruzen to get it!

Of course, Fujin wasn't completely sure of its effectiveness. After all, if learning Kekkei Genkai was that easy, then Dan would have unlocked several Kekkei Genkai and would have likely been far stronger than the Sannins. However, that wasn't the case. On the contrary, he hadn't mastered any Kekkei Genkai. Nor had Orochimaru, who could use a more advanced jutsu.

'What should I do now?' Since Fujin didn't reply, Takeshi became doubtful. Fujin's soul answered, "It looks like I underestimated the difficulty of influencing your chakra and molding it properly. I will need to observe your chakra network for far longer. Continue using Extremely Steaming Murder jutsu."

'Alright.' Takeshi replied and continued creating more flaming orbs. Fujin just carefully observed. While he had seen the process and got some clues by observing the first time, he was still quite far away from understanding how to fuse it properly. As he had expected, even though experiencing it in this manner was extremely helpful, he couldn't learn it in an instant.

Fujin thought, 'Oh well. Even though it isn't instantaneous, I have a feeling that I'll master Scorch Kekkei Genkai sooner or later. After all, I can always refer to him if I ever face any issues or have doubts.'

After using the jutsu 5 times, Takeshi's breathing became heavy. He said, 'My chakra is running low. I can't use this jutsu again.'

Fujin's soul replied, "Don't worry. Continue doing it."

Fujin's soul placed his palm on Takeshi's soul and transferred some of his chakra to him. In the blink of an eye, Takeshi's chakra reserves became full once again!

Takeshi's eyes widened. He asked, 'Spirit Transformation jutsu can do this as well?'

Fujin's soul chuckled and said, "Yup. Don't tell others though. Depending too much on others at this age isn't a good thing."

Takeshi nodded. Fujin thought, 'Well, it's not like I'd ever transfer chakra even if someone asks. A shame that this jutsu doesn't allow me to absorb chakra. If I could, I'd have definitely made some chakra batteries. I could even issue missions for that purpose. Perhaps the lazy ninjas would have accepted for making some easy money'

Takeshi ran out of chakra once again and was again refilled by Fujin. Fujin's soul thought, 'That said, I'm not at my full chakra level either. 70% of my chakra is with my clones. Fortunately, his chakra reserves are much lower than mine. I can refill it a few times. Then, I'll give him the reward. I'll only give him one jutsu at a time. That way, I will have reasons to keep doing this.'

Fujin refilled his chakra reserves four times when he felt that he wouldn't learn anything more from just observing him. He immediately had another idea. He said, "Alright, I have got a hang of it now. Relax, I'll take over your body. Don't resist."

Takeshi replied, 'Alright.'

He mentally prepared himself. A second later, Fujin took full control of Takeshi's body and said, "Feel how the chakra moves in your body. This will be an important jutsu for you."

While Fujin was working on growing both his strength and influence, a particular individual was very annoyed due to Fujin's actions despite being over a thousand kilometers away from him. In truth, he wasn't aware that Fujin was the one behind the incident that troubled him.

In Sunagakure, Baki was in Rasa's office. Only the two of them were present in the office. Rasa asked, "Is there any update?"

Baki shook his head and answered, "No. We have exhausted all means of trying to find them or create contact with them. Unfortunately, nothing has succeeded. Our spies in Tanigakure got hands on a lot of their secret information as well. However, there is no mention of them. It's as if they have vanished entirely."

Baki paused for a few seconds before continuing, "It has been nearly three months since Yamakawa town was attacked. Since that day, we have completely lost contact with the ninjas stationed there. We can only assume that they were killed along with the Yamakawa family. The killers probably took their bodies with them."

A frown appeared on Rasa's face. He cursed, "Those ninjas included an Elite Jounin and a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster! Unless we recover their bodies, we can't assume their deaths. It's too costly for the village to face such losses just before our plan is put into action.

Not to mention, reports claimed that the town was attacked by puppets. It has worsened our relationship with Tanigakure. Since I didn't send anyone, it can only mean that it was someone else.

I had my spies collect information in the other hidden village to see if someone suddenly began training a large number of Puppeteers. However, no village has done so. It could only mean that it was Sasori!"

Rasa's words were full of hatred. Yamakawa was the perfect town to station his ninjas in. However, that town was completely ruined due to Sasori's actions. Not only were his losses grave, but the town had also become a hub for Konoha ninjas, increasing the difficulty in moving secretly for Suna.
