Chapter 046: The Fearsome Memory-Manipulating Fox Spirit, Rongrong!
"Master, did you summon your most adorable Kumoko for something?" Kumoko asked in a soft, gentle voice as she held a communication device.
"Come back immediately!" Ye Tian commanded.
"Yes, Master!" Kumoko nodded. She then closed the communication device and looked at the snake that had yet to finish roasting. Without waiting any longer, she opened her mouth, which transformed into a black hole, swallowing the snake whole. Then, she stepped into the void, moving quickly through the air, covering several miles with each stride.
She headed toward her master's residence at an incredible speed.
Meanwhile, the livestream room continued to reveal the pet rankings.
[Eighth Place on the Pet Ranking: Fox Spirit Rongrong, Owner: Ye Tian]
[Nine Tails: A Fox Spirit, Rongrong? Is this creature a fox spirit?]
[Eight Tails: Kurama, you're a fox too, could this one be related to you?]
[Nine Tails: No way! If you want to talk about relatives, it's you guys. After all, the nine of us are one. ]
[One Tail: I can't believe there's a fox even stronger than Kurama!]
Soon, an image of a fox with nine tails appeared in the livestream. Her appearance kept shifting, making it difficult for anyone to see her true form. Before long, she transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman.
[Jiraiya: Is that a fox spirit? And she can transform into human form? That's just too beautiful!]
[One Tail: Kurama, you're both foxes, but why do you look so creepy while she is so gorgeous?]
[Nine Tails: Shut up! I'm way better looking than you!]
[One Tail: Heh, are you cuter than me?]
...
In Ryūchi Cave, the White Snake Sage pondered, "A humanoid fox spirit? She must be highly intelligent!"
Another terrifying summon, and under Ye Tian's command, no less. This Ye Tian was too mysterious, impossible to figure out.
At this moment, an introduction appeared below Rongrong's name.
[Fox Spirit Rongrong: A member of the Nine-Tailed Illusionary Fox clan, skilled in illusions and memory manipulation, capable of controlling other living beings. She excels in various forms of mystical arts, possesses intelligence far beyond that of humans, and is known for being unparalleled in strategy.]
[Third Hokage: Yet another being with intelligence far beyond that of humans.]
[One Tail: Kurama, you're both fox spirits. Look at how intelligent she is, while you're just a blockhead, and she's even stronger than you! Doesn't that hurt your pride?]
[Nine Tails: Heh, your strength is far beneath mine, and you still have the nerve to talk about me?]
[Itachi Uchiha: A fox spirit skilled in illusions... I wonder how she would compare to the illusion techniques of the Uchiha clan?]
[Madara Uchiha: Itachi, you're overestimating that fox spirit. The Uchiha clan's illusion techniques are the strongest!]
[Itachi Uchiha: Madara, never underestimate anyone. The Golden List have exposed so many powerful beings. Do you still think it's your era?]
[Madara Uchiha: Foolish child, you're too insolent!]
[Danzo: The most terrifying aspect of Fox Spirit Rongrong is her ability to manipulate memories. As far as I know, only a certain eye technique can do that.]
[Shisui Uchiha: My Mangekyō Sharingan possesses the strongest illusion technique, Kotoamatsukami, which can alter a person's memory, but it has a long cooldown, requiring many years before it can be used again. I never imagined that Fox Spirit Rongrong would have such an ability too. If her power is less limited, then it's truly terrifying!]
[Fourth Raikage: I've heard of Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami, a fearsome eye technique. Unfortunately, Shisui died in the internal conflicts of Konoha. I'm curious, whose hands have his Mangekyō Sharingan fallen into? It seems we've never heard anything about it!]
At this moment, Danzo grew tense, fearing that Shisui Uchiha might reveal the truth. After all, he had one of Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan in his possession, and if Shisui exposed it, he'd be in trouble.
[Shisui Uchiha: One of my eyes is in Danzo's possession!]
[Danzo: Damn it! Shisui Uchiha, why did you have to say that?]
[Shisui Uchiha: Lord Danzo, you attacked and killed me, taking my eye. Why wouldn't I say it? I used to hold back out of consideration for the Uchiha clan, but now that the clan is no more, why should I care?]
[Danzo: Hmph, Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed in my possession. I have the strongest illusion technique, Kotoamatsukami. If any of you dare attack me, be careful, or I might use it!]
[Shisui Uchiha: Kotoamatsukami isn't without its flaws. The one in Danzo's possession only temporarily alters a person's memory. Once exposed, the memory can quickly return.]
[Itachi Uchiha: Indeed, Kotoamatsukami is overhyped. It's still terrifying, but it's not invincible. And for those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan or reached a certain level of strength, Kotoamatsukami won't be effective against them!]
[Danzo: Hmph, easy to say, but who dares test it?]
Danzo's thoughts were simple. Now that Kotoamatsukami had been exposed, he would use it as his trump card.
[Third Hokage: Danzo, you had such a trump card, and even I didn't know.]
[Fourth Raikage: Where is Shisui's other eye?]
[Shisui: No comment!]
Shisui naturally wouldn't expose Itachi Uchiha, as he had entrusted the Mangekyō Sharingan to him before his death.
[Danzo: The other Mangekyō Sharingan is in Itachi Uchiha's possession. His eye possesses Kotoamatsukami, which can permanently alter a person's will, but the cooldown period is extremely long, potentially lasting decades. Even Shisui has never used it.]
[Nagato: So it's with Itachi!]
For a moment, many people felt a deep wariness toward Itachi Uchiha. After all, an ability to permanently alter someone's will, so that they could never regain their memories and would forever believe in a false will, was truly terrifying.
[Madara Uchiha: Kotoamatsukami is just one of the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities. Is it really worth all this fear?]
Madara Uchiha scoffed at Kotoamatsukami. After all, the Mangekyō Sharingan was not the ultimate form; above it were the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan. He, possessing the Rinnegan, had immense visual power, and Kotoamatsukami would have no effect on him.
[Fourth Raikage: Indeed, Kotoamatsukami may have a fearsome reputation, but it's just that. The most terrifying being is still this Fox Spirit Rongrong.]
...
"You're all underestimating how terrifying Sister Rongrong really is!" Garaga muttered to himself. He had encountered Rongrong many times and knew she was an incredibly fearsome creature. Normally, she was kind and gentle, but if she ever got angry, she was utterly terrifying.
Moreover, all of the master's assets were managed by Fox Spirit Rongrong. Even the resources Garaga needed had to be approved by her. The various factions established by the master were also managed by her. For instance, if the master needed to gather certain materials, it was Rongrong who took care of it.
And this terrifying fox spirit was not the only one—there were three of them. They were the master's maids, his closest and most loyal servants, and had been with him since the beginning.
While Garaga was deep in thought, a figure emerged from the twisted space. This person wore green robes and had a smile on her face—it was none other than Fox Spirit Rongrong!
