Chapter 46 : Rongrong!

"Master, do you have any orders to find your cutest spider?"

Kumoko clutched the communicator and whispered softly.

"Return swiftly!" commanded Yasao.

"Yes, Master," Kumoko replied.

She promptly deactivated the communicator, glanced at the uncooked giant snake, and didn't hesitate. Her mouth opened wide, forming a dark void, and she swallowed the huge snake whole. 

In an instant, she stepped into the void, soaring through the skies, covering miles in a single stride.

With remarkable speed, she made her way to her master's residence.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast room continued to announce the pet rankings in the Pet List.

[Rank 8 on the pet list: Fox Demon Rongrong, owner: Yasao]

[Nine Tails: Fox Demon Rongrong? Is this beast also a fox?]

[Eight Tails: Kurama, you're a fox too. Could this one be related to you?]

[Nine Tails: In a sense, we're all related as part of the same fox family.]

[One Tail: Is there a fox stronger than Kurama?]

Before long, a nine-tailed fox appeared in the live broadcast room, her appearance constantly shifting as if her true face couldn't be discerned.

After a while, she transformed into a beautiful woman with an alluring figure.

[Jiraiya: Is this a demon fox? It's too beautiful to be a fox, capable of taking human form!]

[One Tail: Kurama, you're both foxes. Why do others look so captivating while you appear somewhat frightening?]

[Nine Tails: Well, I look better than you, for sure!]

[One Tail: Hehe, but aren't I cuter than you?]

…

Ryūchi Cave.

"The demon fox in human form, it seems highly intelligent," thought the White Snake Sage.

Yet another formidable summoning beast, and it belonged to Yasao. This Yasao remained a mystery, with his capabilities far from being understood.

At that moment, Demon Fox Rongrong had an introduction displayed beneath her name.

[Demon Fox Rongrong: Belongs to the Nine-Tails Phantom Fox, skilled in illusion, memory manipulation, and control over other beasts.]

[Third Hokage: This demon fox's intelligence surpasses that of humans.]

[One Tail: Kurama, you share the same species, but you're weaker and less clever. Is that embarrassing for you?]

[Nine Tails: Haha, your strength is inferior to mine, so you're in no position to criticize me!]

[Uchiha Itachi: So, this demon fox is proficient in illusions. I wonder how it compares to the Uchiha clan's genjutsu?]

[Uchiha Madara: Itachi, you may be overestimating this demon fox. The Uchiha clan's genjutsu is unparalleled!]

[Uchiha Itachi: Madara, don't underestimate others. The Golden List has revealed many powerful individuals. This isn't your era anymore.]

[Uchiha Madara: Youngster, you're quite bold!]

[Danzo: What makes Demon Fox Rongrong most terrifying is her memory manipulation. As far as I know, only one ocular technique can control memories.]

[Uchiha Shisui: My Mangekyō Sharingan possesses the strongest illusion, Kotoamatsukami, which can alter the memories of others. However, it has a lengthy cooldown period and takes many years to reuse. I never expected that Demon Fox Rongrong also possessed this ability. If she can use it extensively, it's truly formidable!]

[Fourth Raikage: I've heard of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami. It's a terrifying ocular technique. Unfortunately, Shisui perished in Konoha's conflict. I'm curious about who possesses your Mangekyō Sharingan. I haven't heard of it before!]

At this point, Danzo became anxious, fearing that Uchiha Shisui would reveal the truth. After all, he possessed one of Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan eyes, and it would be problematic if Shisui exposed him.

[Uchiha Shisui: Danzo, one of my eyes is with Danzo!]

[Danzo: Damn it! Shisui, why did you say that!]

[Uchiha Shisui: Danzo-sama, you attacked me, killed me, and took my eyes. Why wouldn't I say it? I used to care for the Uchiha clan, but now that the clan is gone, I have no reason to protect you.]

[Danzo: Hmph, Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed in my possession. I have the ultimate illusion, Kotoamatsukami. If anyone dares to challenge me, be wary of facing Kotoamatsukami!]

[Uchiha Shisui: Kotoamatsukami is not without its flaws. The version within Danzo's grasp can only temporarily modify others' memories, and the original memories return quickly once the illusion is broken.]

[Uchiha Itachi: Indeed, Kotoamatsukami is formidable, but it's not invincible. With the awakening of Mangekyō Sharingan or reaching a certain level of strength, it becomes ineffective.]

[Danzo: Hmph, easy for you to say, but who would dare to test it?]

Danzo had a simple plan: now that Kotoamatsukami was revealed, he intended to use it as his trump card.

[Third Hokage: Danzo, you've kept such a trump card hidden even from me.]

[Fourth Raikage: So, where's Shisui's other eye?]

[Shisui: No comment!]

Shisui wouldn't reveal that Uchiha Itachi possessed it. After all, he had passed his Mangekyō Sharingan to Itachi before his death.

[Danzo: The other Mangekyō Sharingan is in the possession of Uchiha Itachi. The Kotoamatsukami within his Mangekyō Sharingan can permanently alter a person's will, but its cooldown period is extremely long—decades even. Not even Shisui had the opportunity to use it again.]

[Nagato: So, it was with Itachi!]

At this point, many began to fear Uchiha Itachi. After all, permanently altering someone's will, with no chance of memory restoration, was a truly terrifying prospect. 

The individual would forever believe in the false will imposed upon them.

[Uchiha Madara: Kotoamatsukami is just an ocular technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan. There's no need to fear it so much!]

Uchiha Madara didn't underestimate Kotoamatsukami. With the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Rinnegan superior to the Mangekyō Sharingan, he held Rinnegan, an ocular power of immense magnitude. Even if Kotoamatsukami were used on him, it would have no effect.

[Fourth Raikage: True, while Kotoamatsukami has a fearsome reputation, it is not invincible. The most terrifying thing here is Demon Fox Rongrong.]

…

"Sister Rongrong is truly formidable; you shouldn't underestimate her," Garaga remarked. 

He had encountered Rongrong on numerous occasions—a truly fearsome being. Though amiable most of the time, Rongrong could be incredibly terrifying when provoked.

Furthermore, the management of the master's properties and resources fell under the purview of the Fox Demon Rongrong. 

Even the various factions established by the master were overseen by her. If the master needed materials or resources, Fox Demon Rongrong took care of it.

And it wasn't just one such terrifying demon fox; there were three of them. All three served as the master's maids and were exceptionally loyal. They handled various responsibilities, sparing the master any trouble.

Just as Garaga was lost in thought, a figure emerged from a rift in space.

The woman wore green attire and had a cheerful demeanor—it was Demon Fox Rongrong!
