Chapter 218 Soldier Rations
In Amegakure, a place perpetually shrouded in a somber atmosphere, Pain stood quietly on a high place, his gaze piercing through the drizzle as he looked at a flock of snow geese flying overhead.
Then, he looked away from Xueyan in the distance and muttered to himself, "What a bunch of troublesome fellows."
After receiving the order, the flock of snow geese flew together towards the outside of Rain Village.
As the flock of snow geese flew over the entrance to Rain Hidden Village, they began to disperse in different directions, each heading towards its own destination and disappearing into the clouds.
......
Not long after, in a faraway place, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame were carrying out their mission when they suddenly stopped. They both looked up at the sky and saw a flock of snow geese flying overhead.
As the snow goose flew, messages conveyed by Pain reached Itachi and Kisame through a special means.
A moment later, Kisame turned his gaze to Itachi Uchiha, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed, and his voice revealed a hint of surprise and emotion: "This is really beyond my expectations. It has only been a short time since Sasori died, and Hidan and Kakuzu, who call themselves the immortal zombie duo, have also suffered setbacks at the hands of Konoha ninjas one after another."
After Kisame finished speaking, he paused briefly, then turned to Itachi Uchiha and asked curiously, "Itachi-san, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
With the successive losses of Akatsuki members, including Orochimaru's departure, they have lost four members.
This not only weakens the organization's overall strength, but also means that their process of extracting the Tailed Beast from the Jinchuriki using the sealing technique, Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals, will become much longer and more difficult.
Uchiha Itachi slowly opened his eyes and said calmly and indifferently, "The two of them were too aggressive because they were too confident in their immortality. I am not surprised that they suffered such an outcome. The strength of Konoha Village is far from as weak and powerless as we imagined."
Kisame frowned slightly after hearing Itachi's words, and put his hands behind his head: "Indeed, this is a difficult problem. After all, our quota of capturing tailed beasts includes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki kid from Konoha Village."
Kisame continued, "Speaking of Konoha, I've heard that Konoha's elder... Danzo is dead..." His voice held a hint of surprise, "And... it's rumored that the person who killed him was actually your younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke."
Kisame then fixed his gaze on Itachi's face, trying to glean more information from Itachi's reaction to the news.
However, Itachi Uchiha did not show much emotion on his face. He calmly replied, "That was just getting rid of an old relic who was about to die. There's nothing to be particularly concerned about."
Afterward, Itachi didn't say anything more to Kisame, but instead walked forward, reminding him, "Let's go, Kisame, sealing the Two-Tails is urgent..."
Kisame's gaze lingered on Itachi's retreating figure for a moment before he nodded. "Oh, wait for me, Mr. Itachi."
Kisame followed closely in Itachi's footsteps, preparing to find a place to perform the Illusionary Body Technique, which allowed him to extract the tailed beast from the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
......
After Boruto finished communicating with Ibiki Morino and told him that the next priority was to interrogate Kakuzu to obtain information about the Akatsuki organization, he turned around and went to find Naruto, who was receiving training from Kakashi.
At this moment, Naruto was completely focused on creating multiple clones using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, each clone concentrating on its training.
Their goal is to incorporate wind-attribute nature transformation into the Rasengan, hoping to successfully combine the power of wind attributes with the Rasengan to create a new and powerful ninjutsu.
At this moment, Kakashi also noticed Boruto who had arrived, and went over to him and said, "How about it? Isn't it amazing? Naruto is able to create so many clones to train at the same time, which makes his training progress many times faster than before."
Boruto nodded slightly, agreeing with what Kakashi had said.
However, this training is much more difficult than it seems, because he has no spare energy when practicing, and uses shadow clones with the maximum energy.
Kakashi continued, "Although this training method can accumulate the results of training with clones, the fatigue will also increase when the clones are dispelled."
"However, Naruto's chakra reserves are enough to sustain him like this. If it were me..." His words revealed admiration for Naruto's boundless energy, while also sighing, "Ah... youth is truly wonderful..."
Hearing Kakashi's words, Boruto turned to look at him, pondered for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Kakashi-sensei, it seems that after you complete an important mission, you always end up sleeping soundly in Konoha Hospital, right?"
Boruto recalls a series of events, from his battle with Zabuza Momochi in the Land of Waves, to his first encounter with Itachi Uchiha in Konoha, and his mission to successfully rescue Gaara, the Kazekage, in Sunagakure.
After these important missions, Kakashi-sensei would always spend several days lying in the Konoha hospital before he could barely recover.
Kakashi looked somewhat dejected after hearing Boruto's words. He lowered his head slightly, his voice tinged with helplessness and self-deprecation: "I never expected to leave such an impression on you. It's... really a blow to me..."
The reason why those critical missions left him exhausted after the battle, requiring him to recuperate at Konoha Hospital, was mainly because he overused his Sharingan during the missions, consuming a large amount of chakra.
Just then, Sakura arrived carrying a large basket of things to visit Naruto, who was training. When she saw Boruto, she quickly stepped forward and greeted him, "Boruto, you've come to visit Naruto too!"
Boruto nodded to Sakura in response, then pointed curiously to the basket she was carrying and asked, "What are you carrying?"
Sakura smiled and gently pulled back the cloth covering the basket, revealing its contents to Boruto.
Boruto curiously looked at the basket and found it filled with dark, unidentified objects. He couldn't immediately identify what they were, but he could guess that they might be some kind of special tonic or food.
Sakura took a dark object out of the basket and showed it to Boruto, explaining, "This is a special soldier pill that I made myself. It's a super special edition, prepared specifically for Naruto to restore his stamina."
Her tone revealed a hint of pride, clearly showing her confidence in the supplies she had made, believing they would effectively help Naruto recover the stamina he had expended during his training.
"Oh? Soldier pills?" Boruto looked at the soldier pills in Sakura's hand and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
This soldier's ration pill is significantly different in size from the soldier's ration pills they usually see. The one that Sakura specially made is ten times larger than a normal soldier's ration pill.
Sakura crossed her arms and smiled proudly. She continued, "Actually, it's more like a tonic than a soldier's ration pill."
"Not only is it rich in nutrients and good for health, but it also takes into account its rapid effectiveness. I carefully selected various ingredients and used my superb skills to refine them. This soldier's ration pill has a very significant effect!"
After Sakura finished speaking, her expectant gaze turned to Boruto, and she suggested, "By the way, Boruto, would you like to try one too?" As she spoke, she handed the special soldier ration pill to Boruto, hoping that he could personally experience the magical effects of this soldier ration pill.
Boruto took the pill from Sakura, his hand pausing slightly in mid-air as his deepest intuition made him hesitate.
However, considering that Sakura trained in medicine with Tsunade, her medical skills are trustworthy.
Ultimately, trust prevailed over instinct, and Boruto decided to trust Sakura, accept the soldier pill, and prepare to give it a try.
