Chapter 19 - Moka-chan

Oh... how unpleasant it is to receive the memories of fifty clones at once, which also used the "Eyes of the Emperor" "Imperial Zone" and "Arbitrary Meditation" ... but it was worth it.

Wow, with my chakra, Jiraya managed to summon Fukasaka, and after all, this old toad is the leader on Mount Myoboku.

I think he should definitely be strong enough to cope with our big mom, especially when she is injured.

Jiraya still stood in shock and looked at the toad, and he, in turn, waited with a smile for the guy to thaw… And as if we are not all on the battlefield right now and the fur mountain is not looking at us with rage and anger.

Speaking of fur mountain. With the advent of Fukasaku, she became very alert and tense. Looks like she's afraid of that little old toad. And all because it is simply saturated with natural energy. Yes, senjutsu is not a joke.

You don't need to be superintelligent to understand that the bear now just wants to quietly and peacefully leave with her offspring… Of course, she wanted to do it only when she realized that she had little chance of survival.

While I was frowning and struggling with a headache, Orochimaru decided to wake up Jiraya and Fukasaka.

"Jiraya, don't forget that we are on the battlefield. –

– Oh, I'm sorry! I was just really surprised that I was able to summon Fukasaku-san. – with a big smile, Jiraya said quickly.

– Ooh, do you guys have a problem? Jiraya-chan? –

Is he serious? Does this toad really not see this huge fur problem? This is how much he then must have a crappy eyesight in his old age! Okay, he probably just didn't pay attention to her.

– Yes, the thing is... – Jiraya began to tell.

And he began to tell literally everything! Starting from the moment we accepted the mission from the Hokage!

And so he tells Fukasaka everything, and I, like Orochimaru and Tsunade, am just discouraged by what is happening. No, of course I consider myself a rather eccentric person, but to be so ... and most importantly, the bear froze, absolutely not moving. Apparently she either didn't want to provoke the toad somehow, or was thinking of some kind of plan.

What a strange situation…

Finally, Jiraya told the whole story.

– You guys have had an interesting adventure. Well, I'm going to talk to this bear, I haven't forgotten how to speak bear yet," he said with a grunt and jumped in the direction of our opponent.

It's an amazing sight to watch a toad speak bearish... and very strange.

Fukasaku didn't talk to the bear for a long time, about five minutes, but during the whole conversation you could see how the big mom herself gradually relaxed.

Soon the cubs were added to the conversation, including the one who suffered from us…

It's so weird. There's a toad talking to a huge bear and her offspring, and thirty meters away from them we stand and stare at them stupidly, not knowing what to do.

Soon Fukasaku, apparently having agreed, jumped back to us

– That's it, I talked to her and agreed to disperse peacefully. – with a smile, said the toad.

Hearing this, Tsunade, Jiraya and Orochimaru, and what can I hide, and even I, were a little shocked. In the end, we need to nail them, because this is our mission.

Tsunade was especially annoyed and Jiraya saw it. Fearing that she would now fuck the amphibian on the head, the white-headed man exclaimed in a hurry.

"Fukasaku–san, what about our mission!? How can we let them go after all they've done?! –

Toad, however, still with the same calm smile, spoke in a relaxed manner.

–Hush, Jiraya-chan. I'll explain everything. After talking to Moka-chan, I found out that they weren't the ones attacking the city all this time..." he was saying, but a girl's voice interrupted him... and yes, the bear's name is Moka? Funny.

– But we saw for ourselves how this little bear attacked the old man right under the walls of the city! Tsuna exclaimed indignantly, interrupting Fukasaka.

The old toad wasn't offended at all. With a smile, he looked kindly at the girl and replied.

– Ah. You must be Tsunade-chan? Jiraya-chan told me about you. You really have an explosive temper, just like Jiraya said. If you don't become a little more reserved, you'll never get married. –

Of course, what was said certainly did not calm the blonde, but worked exactly the opposite. Now Tsuna wanted to strangle the elderly toad, despite the fact that she was clearly stronger. We need to calm her down a little.

Coming closer to her, I put my hand on her back and gently, soothing stroking, said, "He's right to Tsunade. Still, we are Shinobi and should not lose our temper so easily, otherwise it may lead us to death. –

In an instant, all the temper and all the irritation evaporated. The blonde's indignant pug blushed a little, her breathing quickened.

"You're right, Tetsuya. I've lost my temper... and you really have magic hands. She said with a silly little smile. Nevertheless, the accumulated knowledge and experience in massage do their job.

Satisfied with her answer, I returned to my original place.

Seeing such a scene, Jiraya and Orochimaru were left shocked. And if Orochi only slightly stared in surprise, then Jirai's jaw literally dropped along with his rolling eyes.

It was very easy to read in their gaze: "What!? Was it possible that way?!".

In fact, they understood that real magic had happened in front of them, because only Hiruzen could hardly stop the hot-tempered Tsunade. Although according to rumors, Tsuna always obeyed her grandmother Mito Uzumaki.

– What are you staring at? Tsuna asked calmly, seeing the looks of Jirai and Orochimaru. And it seems that she said it in a calm tone, with a calm expression on her face ... but the fact is that all the indignation moved into the girl's gaze.

–N-nothing, Tsunade. The white–headed man replied with a strained smile, and Orochi nodded in agreement.

The toad watched all this with interest, without blinking.

– You guys are so friendly. What's your name guy? Jiraya-chan told me about Tsunade and Orochimaru, but not a word about you. "What is it?" he asked, pointing at me with his frog paw.

"He probably didn't have time to do it, Fukasaku-san. I am Uzumaki Tetsuya, and have been the fourth member of team number seven since recently. – with a smile, I answered politely and calmly. Still, this toad is eight hundred years old.

– Oh, I see. Nice to meet Tetsuya-chan ya, Fukasaku, one of the two toad sages from Mount Myoboku. I can feel your chakra. It was through her that Jiraya summoned me. You have an amazing Tetsuya chakra. So powerful, so tyrannical and at the same time calm and even affectionate. A very interesting chakra. Still, the Uzumaki clan is amazing. – he said with a smile, peering at me with his yellow eyes.

– Thank you Fukasaku-san, but can you continue the story, we still have a mission. –

– Of course, of course. Where was I? Oh, yes, in general, it wasn't the bears that terrorized the residents of Akita all this time. The bear cub attacked today for the first time, moreover, he does not remember how he attacked the old man. –

– Genjutsu? I asked questioningly, frowning.

– It looks like it. The toad nodded.

For a while, the guys thought in silence, until I broke this silence.

– Haaa. As I suspected, it's not the animals that are to blame. – scratching the back of my head, sighing, I said.

The trio looked at me questioningly.

– Have you already suspected that these are not animals? When did you start doubting it? Tsunade asked in surprise.

– Since the conversation in ramennaya. It immediately seemed strange to me that some bear, for such a long time, could secretly kill, steal people. Moreover, why would the beast come to the city specifically for people? Such a carcass needs more than one person to feed, and people disappeared alone. And even if he just liked human meat, is it really necessary to attack urban residents? There are quite a few villages in the district where it is much safer to do this. And the fact that the monster chose only women, and of a small age... he would have nothing to eat in them… All this is only a small part of why I doubted that the animals were to blame. –

– I see. I also thought that everything was too strange here, but because of the evidence, I put my doubts aside. Orochi said calmly, closing his eyes.

– It turns out that the attacker is most likely a person? Jiraya asked.

– Yes, it turns out so. Moreover, most likely the attacker is a resident of Akita. – Tsuna answered him.

– Well, since my help is no longer needed, I'm going back. Fukasaku said.

– Wait! I said quickly.

– Mmm? –

– I have a question. –

"Oh, ask Tetsuya-chan. –

–Fukasaku-san, how did it happen that this Moka-chan with such a huge force settled here, very close to the city. Moreover, why no one knew that she lived here. I asked, looking at the bear.

–It's simple, Tetsuya-chan. It was not she who settled next to the city, but the city was formed next to her. As for the power and why no one noticed it, everything is quite simple. There are animals with great power all over the world in various places. They often become strong due to places with increased natural energy. The cave of the bear is one of such places. I feel from here that the cave has the strongest background of the natural chakra. I think this background is even bigger than on Mount Myoboku, which is amazing. And they didn't know about Moka-chan, just because she almost never leaves the cave. You see, such a big, strong body like hers is very, very difficult to feed by hunting alone. Places like her cave come to the rescue, with an increased background of the natural chakra, and help to survive by supplying her with energy. Of course, she still has to go hunting sometimes, but this happens so rarely that people have time to change a whole generation, or maybe more than one. Like this. Toad finished with a smile.

I see. Everything is approximately as I expected.

–Thank you, Fukasaku-san. –

–You're welcome, Tetsuya-chan. – he replied, after which he disappeared into the smoke with a pop.

After standing for a while, the guys went towards the city, but noticing that I was left behind, they turned around.

–Tetsuya, is something wrong?" Jiraiya asked, raising an eyebrow.

– I'll wait now. – I said and went to the bear.

With a calm step, I approached her, under her extremely wary gaze.

Slowly, carefully, without sudden movements, he climbed onto her muzzle and putting his hands to the affected area, activated the "Mystical Hand".

Under the amazing gazes, the bear's ear was coming back, as if someone was rewinding time. Although no, this cannot be called rewinding time, because as a result, the bear began to feel much better, and look too.

True, it took me three reserves of Jirai, but for me it's nothing.

Under the surprised and extremely pleased gaze of the bear, I patted her on the nose and said, "This is a small apology from me and my team. I hope you won't destroy the local settlements because of us. –

Then I jumped down and passing by the shocked trio said. – Let's go back, it's not worth staying.

From the third person.

Back in the city, team number seven, walking through the streets of Akita, talked.

– How do we find this maniac? Jiraya asked, sighing.

"An ambush won't help anymore. Rumors have already spread around the city that the mayor ordered Shinobi. The criminal will most likely stop attacking for a while, unless he is an idiot of course. –

– Then what are we going to do to Tsunade? –

– I don't know. I have no idea how we can figure out the bastard… Maybe Tetsui has an idea? –

– I don't have any ideas, not yet. Although I think that the criminal is likely to continue the attacks, because a lot of things say that he is just a psycho. Maybe we didn't scare him at all... Let's go eat better, maybe during the meal we will be visited by good ideas. – he said as they passed by ramen Satoshi.

Everyone agreed to try ramen, but it was already morning, and it was time for breakfast. And after that night, they had an animal appetite.

Inside they were already met by Satoshi with his trademark smile.

– Oh, these are our guests from Konoha! I can see by your faces that you had a hard night! Perhaps my special ramen can cheer you up and give you strength. –

– Yes, we had a really hard night, Satoshi-san. And your signature ramen would be very welcome. – closing his tired eyes, Jiraya said, sitting down at a table.

–Ha-ha! Good. Wait for you to enjoy my masterpiece soon! –

Ten minutes later, the order was ready. Still, they were the only visitors at the moment.

– This is the perfect ramen. Enjoy. – he said, putting four servings on the table.

Ramen looked very appetizing. And from the smell, the guys began to salivate profusely, which filled their mouths.

Speaking of smell.

After Tetsuya tasted the fragrance, his eyebrows furrowed.

He activated the "Imperial Zone". A second later, after activation, Tetsuya's pupils narrowed greatly.

– Enjoy my appetite. – said Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraya.

– Wait. – the hero said calmly and firmly.

– Is something wrong? Jiraya asked, looking at the red hair with a discouraged expression.

– Sniff the ramen. Don't you think the smell is strange? –

– Hmm. Yes, it seems not. Although yes, there is something strange, but damn, it smells very appetizing and delicious. – choking in saliva, the white-headed man said.

Orochimaru, also frowning, tried to understand why the smell seemed so strange.

Finally. Tsunade with dilated eyes, said in surprise. "There's a strange smell coming from Chang Xiu's pork. This smell was often in hospitals when I was studying there. It's the smell… –

– Fried human flesh. The hospital sometimes stinks of fried human flesh when Shinobi caught under fire techniques come for treatment. Tetsuya interrupted her, looking at Satoshi.

By the way, he was already folding the seals, with an angry, angry face.
