In Orochimaru’s laboratory, Su Xiao and the two others looked at Shinfuru, who was trembling in the corner.
Su Xiao proposed to kill her, and Kisa Hoshigaki also suggested killing her, but Itachi Uchiha proposed not to kill Shinfuru for the ti being, as she still had so use.
"We need a perception-type ninja for our next mission."
Although Itachi said this, Su Xiao felt he had another purpose.
"This is Orochimaru’s subordinate, is it really okay?"
Kisa seed a bit uneasy, worried that their team’s whereabouts would be exposed by Shinfuru.
"I won’t..."
Shinfuru was about to speak but noticed three cold pairs of eyes looking at her, so she quickly shut her mouth and tried to put on a harmless smile, though her expression was rather stiff.
Itachi ford a seal with one hand, and Shinfuru’s gaze beca dazed, likely caught in Itachi’s illusion technique.
"How many tails are we capturing this ti?"
Su Xiao was quite interested in capturing tailed beasts.
"The four-tails, I only know the general area, finding the exact location will take ti. This woman’s perception is not weak and will be helpful for our future missions."
"I see."
Kisa seed intrigued, as searching for tailed beasts around the world was no easy task.
"I’ll only be responsible for capturing the tailed beast. How you handle this woman is up to you."
Currently, Su Xiao was temporarily part of Itachi’s team and didn’t want to create conflicts with him. Moreover, this would expedite the completion of his mainline task. The sooner Itachi t Sasuke, the sooner Nagato would attack Konoha Village.
"Alright, that’s settled. As for how to control her, we can use illusion techniques. Although it will affect her perception, there’s no choice."
It seed Itachi wasn’t planning on lifting the illusion.
"I have another way to control this woman. Itachi, release the illusion first."
Su Xiao took out a small piece of alchemy bomb, and Itachi said nothing, just released the illusion.
Shinfuru’s pupils regained their light, and she didn’t hear their conversation earlier.
"Giving you a chance to live."
Su Xiao looked at Shinfuru with a smile, like a wolf eyeing a sheep.
"What—what do you want?"
Shinfuru shrank back, but she was already up against the wall.
"Eat it."
Su Xiao handed over the alchemy bomb. Shinfuru imdiately sensed its danger and shook her head repeatedly.
"Then I can only take coercive asures."
Su Xiao pressed Shinfuru to the ground and forced her mouth open with his hand.
"Help..."
A minute later, Shinfuru was retching continuously, looking utterly despaired.
"Now there’s no problem. If you dare make a move, boom."
Su Xiao mimicked an explosion, and Shinfuru nodded imdiately.
"I can help you with your work, but afterward, you must release . You can use illusions to erase my mory of this period."
Shinfuru was particularly perceptive, not wholly loyal to Orochimaru either.
"A smart woman."
Kisa was not too surprised by this situation. Using other ninjas to complete tasks was common, at least for Itachi’s team. Itachi’s superb illusion skills could easily control others. If Shinfuru weren’t Orochimaru’s subordinate, Kisa wouldn’t have suggested killing her.
"When do we start?"
Su Xiao asked about the timing for capturing the tailed beast.
"In four days, I have so personal matters to handle."
Itachi led Kisa and Shinfuru out of the laboratory.
"et at the border of the Country of Fire in the Grass Country in four days."
Itachi left with the group, leaving only Su Xiao in the laboratory.
"Is this hush money?"
Su Xiao surveyed the laboratory’s scene, where so valuable data and items remained untouched by Itachi.
Orochimaru had been scared away, and Itachi and Kisa had also left. Su Xiao began scavenging.
Ten minutes later, the laboratory appeared as if swept by a storm, with broken test tubes and scrolls scattered on the ground.
In front of Su Xiao were a few items, all experintal data. Though the quality of two items was not high, their value was considerable.
One was research data on chakra, and the other on the "Hashirama Cells" of the First Hokage.
The data was sowhat complex, but fortunately, Su Xiao’s pharmacology level in alchemy was high enough to understand the formulas. He planned to study these materials.
After storing the information, Su Xiao quickly left Orochimaru’s laboratory. Only then did he notice there was a ssage from Reincarnation Paradise that he hadn’t checked.
[Notice: You have successfully hunted the violator, completing the hunting mission.]
[This hunt was perford exceptionally well, with no damage to the Derivative World’s rules by the violator. Overall evaluation: Excellent!]
[This marks the Hunter’s first completion of a Second Tier hunt within 15 days in the Derivative World, granting a 3x reward.]
[You have received a Golden Honor dal ×1.]
[Golden Honor dal]
Category: Rare Item
Description: Can be exchanged for items in the Honor Shop. Specific information can be viewed in the Honor Shop upon returning to Reincarnation Paradise, located in the Hunter’s Exclusive Room.
...
After storing the Golden Honor dal, this item was not imdiately needed.
Su Xiao left Orochimaru’s laboratory. It was already dawn, with the sun hanging on the horizon, and everything was full of vitality.
After completing the hunt, Su Xiao felt relieved. These violators in such a vast world were hard to find. If Jue hadn’t provided a general location, who knows when he would have found them.
Now, only the mainline task remained. After completing it, he would leave the Naruto World.
However, so things still needed to be done before that.
According to the map of the Country of Fire, Su Xiao found a town nearby, a large settlent by Naruto World’s standards, with tens of thousands of people.
...
A road paved with stone slabs saw a carriage speeding by, kicking up clouds of dust. Passersby exclaid and hurled low curses.
Su Xiao held a skewer of atballs, with Bubu Wang following at his heels as they walked and ate together.
The cries of street vendors filled the air, imbuing the whole town with a sense of vitality.
"No wonder it’s a town under the Daimyo of the Country of Fire, so prosperous."
Su Xiao glanced at the town’s edge, where a tall city wall stood—an uncommon sight in the Naruto World.
Arriving at the location of Center Street, the street vendors and stalls disappeared, giving way to a more bustling scene with restaurants, hot spring baths, inns, etc., lining the street.
Entering an inn, a well-dressed attendant approached swiftly.
"This way, sir, please."
The inn had a modern aspect in its opulent decoration. Technology in the Naruto World developed in a peculiar way, influenced by ninjas and the war.
After the war ceased, the Naruto World’s technological level increased significantly, a scenario evident a decade later.
Following the attendant’s guidance, Su Xiao took a room and entered it, finding it bright and clean.
Su Xiao sat on a soft, large bed, waiting for soone expected to arrive within two days.
From his storage space, Su Xiao took out the Ramiel Apostle Core, intending to use it. Carrying this item through space travel posed risks, as his abilities were different from those of violators, whose powers were so varied.
After drawing out the Ramiel Apostle Core, Su Xiao hesitated briefly before taking out a chanical eye.
