Chapter 168: Two-Day Round Trip Travel Time
🕑 Added 2024-09-25 14:07:58 +0000 UTCWith those cards, Haruto quickly created shadow clones. The clone quickly transformed into Itachi, wearing the distinctive Akatsuki cloak and sporting his characteristic cold gaze. Haruto smiled widely.
"Go! Go!" shouted Haruto enthusiastically, while waiting for the clone of Itachi to reveal the Sharingan.
"I understand," replied Itachi, or more precisely, the clone that had now become Itachi. Slowly, the eyes of the Itachi clone began to change, spinning slowly until the shape of three circular lines—Sharingan 1 Tomoe—appeared, glowing with a frightening aura.
The reason why the Sharingan can be used by the clone is that Haruto has used the Sharingan Card 1 Tomoe. With that card, the clone not only adopts the appearance but also fully acquires the abilities of the Sharingan.
Interestingly, even if Haruto releases that card later, Itachi's clone will still retain the Sharingan. This made Haruto smile inwardly—a loophole in the system that was very advantageous.
Haruto paused for a moment, pondering why the system worked this way. Perhaps that is one of the gaps or peculiarities of the system, where the abilities granted by the cards remain, even after those cards are replaced or removed.
Just like how the Shadow Clone remains even after Konohamaru's card has been released. Haruto realized this while experimenting with the previous cards, especially when using the Uzumaki Clan Blood Card and the Senju Clan Body Card. That’s what gave Haruto the idea that the 1 Tomoe Sharingan could also endure if the clones were used cleverly.
"Cool!" Haruto smiled widely, his face full of pride.
"Yeah, it really does look very cool," replied Kisame, nodding his head. Kisame's heavy voice echoed in the quiet alley, with his ever-watchful gaze.
"See!" Haruto nodded in agreement, his smile widening. Haruto's eyes sparkled as he saw the look of admiration on Kisame's face, feeling increasingly satisfied with his plan.
"Then... what is that thing actually?" Kisame asked, this time his tone became more serious, with a slightly confused expression on his face.
"Ah, indeed, in this scroll there are... 10,000 Explosive Papers. With this, we can destroy their base in a matter of seconds," said Haruto while showing the Seal Scroll.
"I understand," murmured Kisame, then carefully tucked the scroll into his cloak, as if it were a treasure of great value.
"Then, where will we meet again? Where is your place...?" Haruto's voice lowered slightly, indicating that this was a crucial part of their plan.
"We are outside Fortress City 085, it takes a full day to get there. From there to here, yes, two days round trip," Kisame replied while pondering for a moment, thinking about the route and time.
"Then... we will meet again on Thursday. I will contact you with that Communication Card." Haruto's tone was firm, ensuring there was no confusion in the planning.
"Not a problem," Kisame replied briefly. Kisame then turned around, bringing along the figure who had been silent from the beginning, Itachi, who glanced at Haruto for a moment before disappearing into the darkness of the night with Kisame.
As soon as they left, Haruto let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had just been lifted from his shoulders.
"Everything is going according to plan," Haruto murmured to himself. However, there are still doubts lingering in Haruto's mind.
After a few seconds, Haruto changed his appearance—his skin, hair, and face gradually transformed. In an instant, Haruto had become a completely different figure: Shino. With this new identity, Shino vanished from the place, moving quickly yet calmly.
Shino walked through the crowd of Fortress City 085. The sunlight began to fade, creating a somewhat gloomy atmosphere among the towering buildings lined up.
This city is like an impregnable fortress, filled with the traffic of citizens and patrolling soldiers. However, something disturbed Shino.
