Chapter 545: Soul Devouring Parasite

"Looks like you are not being honest, Mister Amado."

"Lord Izuna I" Before Amado could still speak further, Izuna shakes his head.

"Your insurance of planting countless paper bombs around the important place and perimeter of Konoha is useless against me." Izuna shakes his head.

"What?"

Kushina's and Ayaka's eyes narrow after hearing these words.

"Izuna, did he really? Then why did the CPS system" Kushina asks in surprise.

Mm

"His paper bombs are special. They don't need chakra to operate. Instead, they use gunpowder and other explosive material to function. They are a product of science rather than chakra. So, the CPS system wasn't able to pick up their traces." Izuna shakes his head.

"Alright! I will show them to you."

Shiing

A gleam flashes across Izuna's eyes. The next second, ripples appear in space in front of them. Multiple explosives drop to the ground.

"Here!"

Izuna opens his palm to reveal a remote control.

"What?"

Amado quickly inspects his cloth for the detonator.

"So, these are the explosives around Konoha." Kushina and Ayaka stare at the hill of explosives in front of them.

"Yes, they possess enough power to raze half of Konoha to ashes," Izuna explains.

"Look"

Izuna presses the large red button on the detonator, much to Amado's horror.

The explosive detonates, and a fireball leaps out of the explosion. The explosion rapidly expands outward and nearly touches the group.

Amado closes his eyes to accept his fate.

Ah

However, the next second, he opens his eyes in surprise since he feels some tingling heat on his front, but there is no burn on his body. Amado opens his eyes and is surprised to see the explosion confined in a small space in front of him.

"This is quite amazing!" Kushina curiously glances at the space in front of her.

"It's a space-time ninjutsu." She remarks after sensing the strange behavior of the space in front of her.

"It's spatial confinement, Kushina Nee-san. I will teach you later." Izuna chuckles slightly and waves his hand. The explosion disappears in a small black hole.

The trio turns towards Amado with a questioning gaze.

"Looks like I can't fool you." Amado helplessly raises his hands in surrender.

"Yes!" Izuna's simple answer shocks Kushina to her core.

"Who would be so gutsy?"

"Other than the Otsutsukis, who else can pull something of such a scale?" Amado chuckles.

"So, you plan to jump the ship by revealing this to us or direct someone else hostility towards us?" Izuna understands the meaning in between Amado's words.

"Hehe so what if I am doing it? Sooner or later, you will find it on your own, and, as for the hostility, I presume you are already on their get-rid list." Amado nonchalantly shakes his head.

"I spent five years under Jigen in hopes of searching for a cure for my daughter, but that bastard never made a move to help me. He even planted a curse seal on her to control me. So, I don't have a shred of loyalty to him."

'He is indeed a master of manipulation and likes to use bluffs and gifts.' Izuna chuckles to himself.

It will be wrong to say if he admits that he isn't willing to recruit Amado to his organization. Amado's vast knowledge, skills, resourcefulness, and intellectual make him a suitable asset for any organization. However, his character is questionable and his motives are unknown. So, despite his power, Izuna is hesitating to recruit him to his team.

'Well, I can only make a gamble. I haven't lost a gamble yet, so I might as well try my luck once more.'

"Alright!"

While Amado was waiting for Izuna to ask him more questions in exchange for favors, Izuna suddenly walks towards his daughter.

Izuna ignores Amado's slightly panicked expression and places his hand on top of Akebi's forehead.

Shiing

Suddenly, Izuna's right eye glows with a bright purple hue and a kaleidoscopic pattern appears in his eyes.

"What's this Dojutsu?"

Amado's eyes narrow at Izuna's strange Dojutsu.

'There are no records of such a Dojutsu in my database.' He mumbles to himself.

"I see! So, that's the problem."

Shua

Soon, Izuna pulls out an invisible tapeworm like a parasitic life from Akebi's head.

Izuna's hands glow with purple energy and the tapeworm becomes visible to the rest.

"This this what is this?" Kushina, Ayaka, and even Amado stare at the strange creature in horror.

"I pulled it out of your daughter's body." Izuna calmly answers him.

"WHAT?" Amado glances at the strange creature in surprise.

"Izuna, what type of creature is this?" Kushina asks in surprise as this is the first time she has seen something like this.

"Well, this creature is called a Soul-devouring parasite. It infests into the body of newborns and latches onto their souls. It gradually grows up with its host and slowly devours their soul and consciousness. Once it grows to adulthood, it will completely devour the soul of their host and escape. Later, it will lay its eggs into another fetus and continue the process. It takes twelve years for a soul-devouring parasite to reach adulthood. For seven years, it will stay in a dormant state while devouring the soul of its host. It will gain consciousness after seven years and the process of soul-devouring will accelerate." Izuna turns towards Amado while explaining a few more symptoms.

"I am sure your daughter went into a coma when she was seven years old." He adds.

"That's right!" Amado takes a deep breath, withholding his excitement. Izuna's description matches Akebi's current state.

"So, does that mean my daughter only has three more years to live?"
