120. Nokizaru Group

Izuna walks up to the Hokage Monument and sat on top of Third Hokage's head.

"I am pretty bored these days."

Izuna flips open a soda can and drink it.

Gulp… gulp…

"This taste is bland and so-so. At this point, I can't even remember the taste of Coca-Cola. Maybe I should pay a visit to the Land Of Honey in my spare time. I heard their beverages are pretty good."

Izuna crushes the can and throws it in the air. The Can levitate around him.

"Magnet Release is pretty dope. But it lacks the power to do any decent damage. I have to learn its advanced version if I want to use it super effectively rather than manipulating some dust or metal chunk as a medium."

The image of Magneto controlling the entire electromagnetic field pops up in his mind.

'I wonder if I can develop it to such a stage. Kekkei Tota is a combination of three nature transformations, and Kekkei Mora is a technique that involves five or more Nature Transformations.

Kekkei Mora is out of the question for now. I need to have Rinnegan or 'Six Paths Sage Mode' to tap into its power. But what comes before Kekkai Mora and after Kekkai Tota?

I have no clue about it. If I see it as a Nature transformation then it should involve Four different Nature transformations. That shit is quite hard and almost impossible to pull off if you don't have any cheat.

But lucky for me, I am a cheat. I have to just figure out a way to use it and master it. Sigh… I may have grown strong, but any Otsutsuki can use a Kekkei Mora and just erase from my existence with a simple touch.

Damn, those Truth-Seeking Balls are too much of a cheat.'

Izuna closes his eyes while planning for his future power up.

'If only I had Rinnegan.'

'Should I steal it from Nagato?'

'No!' Izuna immediately denies this option.

'There is so much hate to build upon those eyes.'

Yawn…

Izuna stands up and stretches his arms.

"Guess I will check on Tsunade then. It has been a while since I last saw her. The boys will take at least three more days to recover from the previous fight. I should drop by Tsunade and say hello."

Izuna closes his eyes and senses the Space coordinates of his 'Flying Thunder God Seal'.

"Found her. I want to give her a surprise. So, I will teleport some distance away from her location."

Whoosh…

Izuna disappears from his position and reappears inside a forest.

"This 'Flying Thunder God' feels like a watered-down version of Instant Transmission of Dragon Ball. I have improved it over the years, allowing me to teleport a distance away from the target, but I still need my Chakra infused seal to sense the location.

I have to improve my understanding of Space to further remove the conditions of this jutsu."

Izuna slowly walks towards Tsunade's location. He takes out a Premium wine from his storage scroll.

"She will like this wine. I will give it as a gift to her."

He pockets the scroll and continues to move towards the inn.

Rustle… Rustle…

A nearby bush rustles a little as a silent breeze passes by. Izuna ignores the rustle and continues to move forward.

Rustle… Rustle…

Another shrub rustles, but Izuna continues to walk towards the inn, ignoring them.

----------------

A few minutes earlier,

Swish… Swish…

A group of Five Ninjas rushes toward the nearby tiny village.

"They haven't gone too far. We can still catch them."

One ninja reminds others.

"This time we will be able to hunt him down and earn quite a bounty. The Raikage's head ain't cheap, at least we can sell him to other nations and reap around a billion Ryo." Another ninja rubs his hand in excitement.

Humph…

Another ninja scoffs at the previous ninja.

"Your brain is small, just like your little brother, Rimushi."

"Hey, that's rude. Don't make fun of my size. You aren't packing a Bazooka yourself, so stop bitching around." Rimushi counterattacks.

"Shut up, you both. We have an urgent mission to complete. The target is Raikage. He won't go down that easily besides other ninja are guarding him.

Lucky for us, he will slowly die on his own. We have to just wait and retrieve his corpse." Himushi, the leader of the group, chides them.

"Yes, our Nokizaru group lost its base of operation after our village was annihilated by Kumogakure. We have to act as a 'Mercenary Organization' and take commissions from other villages.

Lucky for us, this mission leads us to Raikage of Kumogakure. We can complete the commission and take revenge for our village. Thus, killing two birds with one stone." Another ninja laughs in excitement.

Shhh….

Himushi gestures to them to maintain silence.

"If we do it correctly, we can kill three birds in a stone." He whispers to his team and points towards Izuna, who just walked from the deeper part of the forest.

"Do you recognize him?" Himushi question his team.

"Isn't he 'Silent Shinigami' of the leaf? What's he doing here?" Rimushi tilts his head in confusion.

"Rimushi, you idiot! It doesn't matter what he is doing here? If we can take him down before fetching Raikage's corpse we will earn double the amount of money. The bounty on 'Silent Shinigami's head is worth 400 million Ryo." The first ninja rebukes Rimushi.

"But would we able to take him down?" Another Shinobi questions.

"We should be able to. Look at the situation, even Raikage is running away from us. This 'Silent Shinigami' is just a jounin of Konohagakure. We can take him down." The Third Ninja explains the situation.

"I know little, but if you think so. Then let's head hunt him." Rimushi tilts his head in confusion.

"Rimushi, release the 'Exploding Insect Larvae'. Let him inhale death. Later we will engage in a fight against him and force him to infuse chakra to speed up the growth of explosion." Himushi formulates a plan.

"As you wish, Captain." Rimushi makes some hand signs and releases micro-sized particles towards Izuna.

----------------------

Izuna senses the presence of stalkers, but he ignores them.

'There are a total of five of them. I don't why they are stalking me, but their intentions are far from friendly.

I will allow them to make their move first, this way I can learn more Kekkai Genkai techniques, albeit if they have any. It would be too boring to end them this early.'

Whoosh…

A gentle breeze passes by and Izuna's long hairs flutter in the wind.

'Have they made their move? But I felt nothing.'

Izuna carefully inspects his body. He feels an itching sensation in the nose.

'What's this? Did I inhale something? My body has grown sensitive to any change occurring inside it due to my Senjutsu training. Did I inhale a poison? But I can't feel anything.

Let me activate my Sharingan to inspect it.'

Izuna activates his Sharingan and uses the 'Eye of Insight' to look around.

"This…"

He spots various small microscopic particles hovering around him. Izuna magnifies the particles and spots various Microscopic Insect larvae trying to invade his body.

'Damn! They have to choose the insect, of all things. I really hate these insects. One Aburame Clan is enough.'

'Lightning Release: Purple Lightning Flare'

Izuna infuses lightning chakra in his palm to generate purple lightning. The purple lightning incinerates all microscopic larvae.

Throb… throb…

Izuna feels a throbbing sensation in his chest. He checks his body and notices a lump of larvae insects clumped up in his lungs.

'Fuck! I inhaled them and now they are sucking my chakra.'

He turns towards 'Sin Seal' and mocks it.

"One sucker is enough. Now you won't allow them to take your position right?"

Bzzzt….

Dark black lightning sparks from the 'Sin seal' as it angrily responds to Izuna's mockery. The Dark black lightning crawls through Izuna's nerves and enters inside his lungs.

Bzzz...

The dark lightning incinerates all intruder larvae and Izuna exhales a turbid black smoke from his mouth.

'Now I need to brush my teeth. This smell of fried worms is choking me.'

---------------

The Nokizaru Group notices Izuna using a lightning jutsu.

Rimushi frowns and turns towards Himushi.

"Leader, I have lost contact with all my larvae. I think… I think… he discovered them and… and killed them with his lightning jutsu."

"What?... He detected them and even got rid of them. Damn! We have to kill him faster or else it will reveal our Secret technique to the rest of the world." Himushi immediately signals his team.

Fwoosh… Fwoosh…

The Nokizaru group turns into smoke and surrounds Izuna. "Silent Shinigami! Today we will claim your head as a bonus with Raikage."

Swoosh… Swoosh…

All of them reappear before Izuna. One of the ninjas makes some hand sign and release a blinding flash of light to disrupt Izuna's vision.

The rest of the members turn into smoke and disperse in the surrounding area.
