Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 117: Fire Release Transportation Technique 1.0

Apart from the Hidden Leaf, other villages also received the Hidden Mist's intelligence report.

Among them, the Hidden Cloud's reaction was the most intense. Having their Two-Tails Jinchūriki taken by Akatsuki was an insult they couldn't tolerate.

The Raikage immediately issued a bold declaration: the Hidden Cloud would annihilate the entire Akatsuki organization.

This statement shocked the entire shinobi world.

Many couldn't help but wonder:

Did the Hidden Cloud not realize Akatsuki already possessed six Tailed Beasts?

Moreover, Akatsuki's members were S-rank rogue ninjas, each as powerful as a village leader. Combining their power with the captured Tailed Beasts made Akatsuki a force unmatched by any single village.

What gave the Hidden Cloud the confidence to make such a claim?

---

Behind the scenes, the Hidden Cloud secretly contacted the other Great Villages to organize a Five Kage Summit. The purpose was clear: discuss the formation of an alliance to deal with Akatsuki.

Notably, the Hidden Cloud excluded the Hidden Rain Village from their plans.

Their reasoning was simple: the Rain's close connections with Akatsuki, including the fact that Uchiha Yi had once been a member, made them untrustworthy.

When Yi learned that the Rain hadn't been invited to the Five Kage Summit, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Do they think I'd have gone even if they asked?" Yi muttered with amusement.

He had no interest in participating in the summit. His focus remained on perfecting his Fire Release Transportation Technique.

With Tsunade's diligent guidance, Yi's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique's marking ability had progressed rapidly.

"Let's see if it works," Yi said to himself, preparing to test the Fire Release Transportation Technique 1.0.

Taking out a kunai, he engraved his unique Flying Thunder God marking on it—a fiery insignia resembling flames.

He then threw the kunai into the distance, waiting for it to reach its trajectory.

Channeling his chakra, Yi activated his Fire Release Transformation, turning his body into pure flames.

He entered the fire dimension unique to his transportation technique and began sensing the kunai's flame-like mark.

The process felt smooth until he tried to exit at the kunai's location. Suddenly, he was blocked by the marking's sealing mechanism.

The kunai's marking had unintentionally restricted his exit. To escape, he needed to forcibly break through the barrier—a method that disrupted the technique's flow.

"This isn't right…" Yi frowned.

While his idea worked in theory, integrating the Flying Thunder God's mechanics with his Fire Release technique created unexpected interference.

"Perhaps adding a rewriting seal might solve this."

If the marking could sense Yi's chakra and automatically deactivate the barrier, it would function like an automatic door, eliminating the obstruction.

---

Realizing this would take time to figure out alone, Yi decided to seek Tsunade's assistance once again.

---

As fate would have it, Tsunade arrived just as Yi finalized his plan.

"I need to confirm something with you," Tsunade said.

She didn't mince words, immediately expressing her concerns about Akatsuki's potential attack on the Hidden Leaf.

---

"I have no stance," Yi replied nonchalantly.

"As long as no one provokes me, I won't get involved."

Yi had already separated the Rain and Akatsuki in public perception, ensuring that Nagato, Konan, and the Rain Village wouldn't be implicated in Akatsuki's actions.

---

Ultimately, Yi intended to let Akatsuki and the Five Great Nations weaken each other before stepping in to reap the benefits.

He didn't care about the fate of the shinobi world as long as it didn't cross his bottom line: total annihilation.

If the Akatsuki's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan threatened to destroy the world, Yi would intervene.

"This world is where I live. It can't be destroyed. Its people may suffer, but they can't all die. Not yet," Yi thought.

---

Tsunade let out a sigh of relief.

Yi's response reassured her that he wouldn't become an enemy of the Hidden Leaf—for now.

As the man who had obliterated the Leaf once before, Yi's power was something Tsunade would rather avoid testing a second time.

---

"By the way, don't leave just yet," Yi called out as Tsunade was about to leave.

"There's something I need your help with."

Before she could respond, Yi grabbed her arm and guided her to a chair, explaining his idea for refining the Flying Thunder God marking.

---

"Ugh, this again?" Tsunade groaned, realizing she was being used as a free tutor.

She briefly considered refusing but knew better than to provoke Yi. Despite her frustrations, she couldn't deny his persistence and ingenuity.

---

"Heh, thanks, Tsunade-sensei!" Yi grinned, reclining in his chair with a relaxed expression.

As Tsunade reluctantly got to work, Yi glanced toward the sky, his eyes lingering on the moon.

---

"It's been a while… Has Orochimaru made any progress on that lunar passage?"

Yi's thoughts drifted to his goal of reaching the moon.

While Orochimaru was technically working on the problem, Yi doubted the scientist could solve it anytime soon.

Perhaps it was time for Yi to take matters into his own hands.

"After perfecting this technique… I'll test my theory about the moon," Yi decided.

He smirked to himself. The Fire Release Transportation Technique 1.0 was almost complete—just one more adjustment and it would be ready for use.
