Chương 120: Devious Plan.

"We have an oracle in our organisation." Haruto said softly, causing Tsunade's eyes to widen.

"The child of prophecy?!" She immediately exclaimed.

"The child of prophecy?" Haruto asked confusedly, even though he knew just what Tsunade was referring to. He had to pretend to be hearing it for the first time after all since Jiraya probably only told his closest friends and his sensei about the child of prophecy. Tsunade however didn't say anymore. Instead she looked at Haruto and huffed.

"You people and your oracles…" Haruto in the meantime concluded scribbling on the scroll so he pulled it open fully and displayed it for everyone to see.

"Here's the entire counter seal that was offered to me. If you think you can do better with this information, by all means, please use it." Tsunade floated over to the seal and looked at it under the gazes of Shizune and Kakashi while mulling under her breath about how unfair it was to have her body essentially snatched away from her.

"Hmmm…" Tsunade's brows furrowed slightly.

"This almost feels like Mito-baa san wrote it down in a few places before a junior came in and patched in her own solutions. So someone from your organisation studied under her? With you and your colleague both having ties to Konoha… it almost seems like you're Konoha shinobi." Haruto's mind churned at the information.

'Mito?'

'So one of the people watching me is Mito?'

'How can Tsunade be sure if the seal is written by her anyway… do seal masters really have such distinct styles?' It was at this point that Unohana interrupted with her thoughts, 'You can tell a lot by how a wound heals in Kaido about the person who healed the wound. Each technique leaves behind a signature of faults and mistakes that only that particular person makes.' Grindelwald nodded along with Megamind.

'Each of my inventions have my own personal signature. It is the pride of a craftsman to have his name known after all.'

'And you can tell a lot about the person who cast the spell from just the residue of the spells… each person has a certain skill level that is hard to particularly hide. It automatically shows unless you're disguising it on purpose, like calligraphy.' Haruto frowned, finding it a little hard to believe that the squiggly lines he was seeing had any sort of signature to them, but in the end he sighed inaudibly before looking at Tsunade, waiting for her verdict.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Any ideas, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune was the first to break the silence and ask Tsunade. Tsunade looked at the scroll and then at Haruto who was occupying her body and clicked her tongue.

"It's skillfully done…"

"Is it helpful?" Haruto asked politely. Sigh…

"It is much more than helpful… while my method only suppresses the seal for four hours by swapping out Danzo's chakra for mine to transfer the ownership of the seal, this is a true counter seal. As long as one has the privilege to overwrite the seal, this seal can destroy all the control parts of the seal and free the person under control."

"If you have the privilege to overwrite the seal, couldn't you do that anyway?" Haruto was confused since he didn't know the first thing about seals in the world of Naruto. Tsunade gave him a weird expression that asked 'You don't even know this much?' and Kakashi answered, "It's not that one can't overwrite the seal in that case, but complex seals like the cursed tongue eradication seal have detection measures put in place to detect such changes and automatically activate if such a thing happens."

"Oh… I see… so that's why you need this counter seal… so how will you get the privilege to change the seal?" Tsunade smirked, "That's simple since I've already discovered how to do that. I just swap the chakra with mine to become the owner of the seal for a few hours and then apply the counter seal." Haruto nodded and smiled, "Alright then… that's my work finished. You may take your body now. I will be in touch with you guys as and when needed later. We will be watching you… closely."

Haruto said, causing Tsunade's eyes to widen as she jumped at her body instantly. Her body fell slack for a second before it stood up stiff as Tsunade took back control over her body with Haruto's spirit ejected out of it. Haruto, now out of Tsunade's body, rubbed his shoulders and spoke with a soft sigh, "That felt heavy…"

With his purpose in possessing Tsunade done, Haruto stuck around for a while longer to spy on them to see if they were going to read his mind still, but it seemed like Tsunade was taking the time to focus on learning the counter seal fully so that she could deploy it when she needed to. Plus Haruto saw Kakashi making a few weird hand signs to Shizune and Tsunade instead of speaking, it made him frown.

'Of couse… they'd start using hand signs to communicate secretly because I revealed to them that I am not a Konoha shinobi and I can spy on them using the Spirit Transformation technique.' Haruto frowned but he couldn't seriously read their minds right now since he didn't have Grindelwald's legilimency yet. Haruto floated away to his home after that, sinking into his body and slipping his soul into its container with a satisfying almost inaudible click before opening his eyes and going to the bathroom.

As soon as Haruto had the bathroom locked firmly he closed his eyes and adopted a praying posture.

"I know you're watching me, Lady Mito. If you're watching me right now, give me a sign. Anything will do. A minor memory, a skill, a mission, anything will do. You can even tell me who else you're collaborating with. Or who gave me the information about the shadow clone jutsu." Haruto waited in the same posture for a few seconds, questioning if he was just going crazy or if what he'd deduced was the truth, but after a few minutes when nothing happened he simply sighed and gave up.

But then he came up with a devious plan.

"I guess whatever you use to communicate with me has a charge or cost that you cannot afford willy-nilly."

"Are you spying on me from pure land?"

"Are there other dead shinobi with you? Hashirama? Tobirama? Madara? Minato and Kushina? Kakashi's father? The Third Hokage?"

"If that's the case could you please ask Madara not to execute the Eye of the Moon plan when Orochimaru eventually resurrects him soon?"

"Oh and if you don't know what the eye of the moon plan is, it is a plan Madara made after being tricked by a yin construct of the Sage of Six Path's mother, an Otsutsuki, the same kind that killed the Third Hokage. The plan involves capturing all the Tailed Beasts and trapping them into the husk of the ten tails which will then turn into a chakra tree that will trap everyone on the planet in a genjutsu of a fake world. It'll use the power of the moon somehow…

but I don't know enough about Genjutsu to know how that works. It possibly works because the Sage of Six Paths' mother is sealed inside it since she'll take control over Madara after that happens, somehow…"

"So if you're hearing this, I need you to make sure to give me more jutsus very quickly so that I can grow stronger faster and beat up Madara and the Otsutsuki that want to capture the planet and turn humans into their chakra farms."
