Chương 17: The Plan Goes Smoothly

Unbound, they fell from the tree to the ground in excruciating pain. After a few difficult breaths, the three of them got up and looked up at Jieluo, who was still in mid-air.

"Damn it! What did you do to me!?" Senki Aoi shouted angrily, her eyes still filled with lingering fear.

The excruciating pain I just experienced was so unforgettable, it felt like a thousand, ten thousand worms, like iron wires, were crawling and burrowing deep into my flesh and blood, like the torture of being slowly sliced to pieces.

The brain, in particular, was trembling.

That piercing pain in the brain is a nightmare.

If she could, she wouldn't want to experience it a second time.

Shuichi and Shingetsu remained silent, their eyes fixed on Jieluo. The two who were more astute sensed something amiss...

What is this technique?

"No need to be nervous..." Gently sensing the fear in the four people present, fear level +1 +1... Jie Luo smiled faintly.

All of Jira's actions are based on creating negative emotions, rooted in the simple reason of having enough to eat.

It means to hit a few times whenever you have nothing to do, since you're just killing time anyway.

There is practically no one who doesn't react when they are hit.

"It's just a little trick planted inside your bodies..."

Invisible strands of hair connected from the three people to Jieluo's fingers.

"If you misbehave, you'll suffer the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jie Luo snapped his fingers.

Dark Secret Technique: Bone-Eating and Brain-Deepening The next second, another scream erupted from the three of them. In excruciating pain, they trembled and collapsed to the ground, writhing like worms, sweat pouring down their faces.

Regardless of whether it's the Kusanagi, the Senki, or the Uji, Yura doesn't trust any of these three clans. Even if these three are considered outcasts within their clans, it's impossible for any active ninja from a clan that came from the Warring States period to not have some kind of mental illness. There's absolutely no such thing as an innocent person.

After a while, Jielu stopped the punishment.

The hair strands connected to her fingers broke off. Currently, all of Jieluo's hair strands are based on her limbs and require direct manipulation of the thread ends to function. The hair strands cannot separate from Jieluo and exist independently.

Therefore, when the hairline breaks, the so-called control over the body ceases to exist.

However, the three of them were unaware of this.

Huan stood aside, trembling with fear.

"If you hit them, you can't hit me," she thought, trying her best to minimize her presence.

After a long while, the three of them struggled to get up again, panting. This time, when they looked up at Jie Luo, their eyes had become clear, and their unruly demeanor had disappeared. They all obediently lowered their heads.

Although Shen Yue looks like Orochimaru, she is not Orochimaru after all.

Shuichi was undoubtedly very clever. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord Jieluo, what are your orders for summoning us?"

"You're very familiar with the clan, aren't you?" Yura looked at Uji Shuichi.

Uji means bridge, and Uchiha means fan. To put it simply, Shuichi is called Mizuhashi Shuichi, and Madara is called Fan Madara.

A very rustic name and surname.

"Yes." Xiu nodded in agreement. He was genuinely afraid of Jie Luo, and his body was still trembling with pain. He said, "I know most of what's going on in the clan."

"What exactly is the technique of worshipping at the hour of the 11 o'clock in the morning?" Jie Luo asked.

"This..." Shuichi stammered, sweating profusely, for a long time before finally saying, "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Jieluo wasn't too disappointed. Secrets of this level were impossible for ordinary clansmen to know, just like the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan; he only needed to lead the way.

Although Water Release and the secret technique of Ushi-otoko shrine visit are completely unrelated, the Sharingan and Fire Release of the Uchiha clan are similar.

"So, Uji Lucy, how much do you know?" Yura continued to ask.

"I've only heard rumors..." Shuichi said, "She is a weapon of war secretly trained within the clan."

"That's it?" Jie Luo frowned and said, "Is there anything special about her?"

In Jieluo's perception, the other party was a very strange being, so she did not rashly make close contact at first.

"There are rumors within the clan..." Shuichi said hesitantly, "It seems that she has awakened the clan's bloodline limit, but no one in the clan has awakened a bloodline limit for a long time. During a great battle between the Senju and Uchiha a long time ago, the clan's records on bloodline limits were deliberately destroyed."

Could this be a great battle between Asuras and Indras?

"In short, the clan is terrified of her," Shuichi said.

"The elders said that Lucy has the power to drive others mad and destroy them, and is no less powerful than the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan."

In the current ninja world, the Mangekyou Sharingan is very famous, and many people have witnessed its power firsthand. Unlike later, it became a legendary god-like power in just a few decades.

If they still don't know anything when asked, then we have to contact them in person.

Jie Luo waved his hand and said calmly, "You may all leave. Huan will notify you of the assembly operation in four days."

The three responded and quickly disappeared.

They didn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer.

Seeing that the matter was over, Huanqian chuckled and said, "Jieluo-kun, shall we rest?"

"Get up early tomorrow and go fetch the Hero's Water."

"Yes." Huan nodded in agreement and then said, "Jieluo-kun, I must remind you, taking too much Hero's Water will kill you."

Jieluo strolled back to the Black Nest and sat down, ignoring her.

Seeing this, Huan walked to the side, hugged her knees and sat down, muttering to herself with a wronged expression.

The following day, Yura set off, taking Gen with her to infiltrate Takigakure Village. Following Gen's guidance, they entered the central sacred tree of Takigakure through another secret waterway.

There are no guards inside the sacred tree; it's like an open gate, allowing anyone to come and go as they please.

Therefore, Jieluo never found the location.

Leading Jieluo through the hidden barrier, he opened the enshrined shrine, took out a large bottle full of Hero's Water, and handed it to Jieluo.

"This is all the supplies our clan has accumulated over the past thousand years," Huan said.

"We had another bottle before, but we used it to capture a tailed beast."

Jieluo took the Hero's Water and examined it, casually asking, "Did the ninja world already have glass a thousand years ago?"

The transparent glass gourd-shaped bottle looks to hold about two or three bottles of mineral water.

"Huh?" Hearing Jieluo's strange question, Huan asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem." Jieluo sealed the Hero's Water, looked at Huansi with a half-smile, and said, "Consider this all the remaining stock."

"How could that be?" Huanqian laughed.

"I'm not lying."

Not all of it; there's still half a bottle at home, which is the Hero's Water that was taken out earlier.

"The matter is settled, let's go."

One last look at the divine tree. Its interior contained a vast space disproportionate to its external size, and it could even produce Hero's Water. However, Jie Luo had no intention of exploring its secrets, and without any information or evidence, it was highly likely that there would be no results.

In contrast, Jieluo was more interested in the Hero's Water that he had obtained.

Like the chili pepper pills, the two are undoubtedly the same thing. They both over-stimulate the body's potential and unleash a large amount of chakra. The risk of death is of no use to Yura's immortality.

Therefore, what Jieluo was more concerned about was what exactly triggered the massive outburst of physical chakra.

Besides being able to compensate for their own lack of chakra, they are also good research material.

Leaving the village again, abandoning Gen, Yura went alone to the cave where the Jinchūriki was hiding that day.
