Chapter 51: Su Nuo: Try to fascinate me!
"Negative emotions can be transformed into chakra? I never imagined there was something like cursed power in the New World. How interesting!"
Sukuna observed the negative emotional chakra within Fukuko's perception with great interest.
Sukuna knew that there was no cursed power in the new world, but there were many negative emotions that served as the raw materials for cursed power.
Through Fu Heiyao's intermittent perception, he knew that everyone in the new world would generate far more negative emotions than in his original world.
However, the people here do not use their negative emotions after they arise, and can only let them linger for a long time.
Su Nuo originally thought that the world lacked means to transform negative emotions, but he did not expect to see an exception today.
And it's such an interesting exception to this method of transforming humans into monsters.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be the ability possessed by a top-tier cursed spirit called Zhenren.
Sukuna was deeply impressed by the real man, whether it was his soul-touching magic or his experience of laughing at Itajō together.
The cyborgs seem to have no self-awareness, can't even speak, and only act on instinct.
Seeing Fu Heiyao approach and even touch them, they panicked and scurried into corners, as if the narrow corners would make them feel better.
A wisp of black lightning appeared at Fu Heiyao's fingertip, and a moment later he touched the trembling cyborg again with his finger.
"The way the body is twisted feels like a cyborg that has been forcibly modified from a real person." Fu Heiyao sensed it deeply and became extremely alert.
"There is no trace of cursed power, only a trace of negative emotional chakra in the chakra. It is very weak, but it is definitely present."
Is this the testing ground of a mad scientist, or the territory inhabited by some kind of demonic monster?
Or perhaps a demon resembling a real person has also emerged in the ninja world?
Su Nuo naturally sensed Fu Heiyao's surprised expression.
"It seems things have turned out completely unexpectedly. I thought you knew everything." Su Nuo's voice was very pleasant, as if he had tasted some kind of exquisite delicacy.
"What, do you know something?" Fu Heiyao sensed something while communicating with Su Nuo.
"No, I don't know." Su Nu trembled with excitement. "But you don't know either, Fu Heiyao."
"Fu Heiyao, you seem to know a lot of things, things about this world, and things about the world I live in."
You seem to have a precognitive ability, and everything seems to keep your emotions at a stable threshold.
But I'm sure this was unexpected, and you panicked!
"Let's end this useless exchange." Fu Heiyao shook his head; he didn't want to listen to Su Nuo's trash talk.
"Fu Heiyao, I can already foresee your future, where you'll beg me for mercy like that brat Itadora."
I'll spend some time thinking about what kind of restraints I can use to shatter your ridiculous dream of being the strongest.
A wanton smile appeared on Su Nuo's lips, and a thick malice seemed to approach Fu Heiyao like a bottomless abyss.
Fu Heiyao ignored Su Nuo, but silently kept it in mind, along with the time two years ago when he felt disgusted with himself.
He decided that after this mission, he would give Su Nu a huge surprise with a little gadget he had been preparing for two and a half years!
"The monotonous life is over. Let me try to become obsessed with you, Fukuyo!" Sukuna grinned as he looked at Fukuyo, who was losing consciousness.
In the real world, as soon as Fu Heiya finished speaking, Rope Tree, who was about to deal with the monsters, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His neck stiffened as if it were a rusty gear, and he turned to look at Fu Heiyao.
"You're saying they're human!?" Rope Tree's face was filled with astonishment.
Even Minato's expression turned grim after learning that the monsters were mutated humans.
At the same time, a strange hatred welled up in my heart. What kind of blasphemy could have twisted humanity into this state?
"From a sensory perspective, it is indeed human, but its form has been distorted by a demonic chakra," Fukuro said, perhaps using a term that the ninja world could understand.
"You mean to say that their appearance was caused by some kind of demon?"
Shuo Mao narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.
There are many rumors about demons in the ninja world. After discarding those legends whose truth is unknown, there are quite a few real demons.
As a veteran, Sakumo knew a few things, such as the demons of the Land of Demons.
It is said that demons are immortal and can only be restrained by sealing techniques.
"Do you think it's possible that they are the missing people?" The expression on Rope Tree's face at this moment was more painful than if he had eaten shit.
No one answered him, because everyone had already guessed that possibility.
"Ordinary bandits could never have the means to transform a person into a monster," Minato said with a grim expression and a hint of frustration.
"Damn it, they killed too quickly and forgot to leave a few alive!"
"Assuming they are the missing people, what exactly happened to them during this time?" Sakumo pondered, stroking the white fang short sword in his hand.
"It seems this task is much more complicated than I imagined."
"Perhaps it's related to those ninjas hiding in the Amamiya mansion?" Nawaki thought about the information that Obsidian had previously sensed.
To the ninjas in Fukuko's intelligence, the mountain bandits near Tsurugi Town were like stray dogs on the roadside, easily kicked to death.
Instead of eliminating the bandits, they allowed them to run rampant.
According to the case file, this group of bandits had been ravaging the villages around Tsurugi Town for half a year without anyone clearing them out.
This made Rope Tree suspicious of them.
"It seems we still need to investigate Amamiya's residence." Sakumo tapped the hilt of his white fang lightly with his fingertips.
When it comes to demons, one has to be careful, but Sakumo is still full of confidence.
In his view, although there were some unexpected factors in this mission, it was still completely under control.
With his speed, there are very few in the entire ninja world who can stop him.
These cyborgs look disgusting, but they are too weak to cause any trouble.
However, there is one thing that still puzzles Sakumo.
If the disappearance case is related to the people in the Amamiya mansion, then why hire Konoha ninjas to investigate?
Isn't this just creating a trap for oneself?
Are they certain they can't see through the cyborgs' tricks, or is there a rival faction hiding in Tsuru-no-cho?
"In that case, let's go back to Tsuru no Tachi first." Fukuko looked at the "monsters" huddled in the darkness. "As for them, let them stay here for now."
Turbid Town
Late at night, Sakumo's team quietly returned to town, intending to conduct a thorough investigation of the Amamiya mansion.
Based on Fukuko's malicious perception, Sakumo, having confirmed that the demon behind the scenes was most likely not present, began assigning tasks.
"Most of those ninjas are gathered near Amamiya Seimei's residence. This area is not large, and my senses can completely cover your tracks."
So I'll split you into two groups; Nawaki and I will investigate those ninjas.
Sakumo drew a red circle on the map in his hand, around the core area of the Amamiya mansion.
Considering that Nawaki is relatively weak and might become a hindrance in unexpected situations, Sakumo decided to personally train him.
He then looked at Fukuyo and Minato, a hint of testing in his eyes.
"Minato and You, you are responsible for infiltrating Lord Amamiya Seimei's residence to gather intelligence. I suspect he knows something."
Of course, if things go wrong or I encounter danger, I will immediately drop everything and rush over.
The three had no objection to Sakumo's temporary grouping.
The area they were investigating wasn't large; if they encountered real danger, a ninja of Sakumo's caliber could arrive within ten seconds.
Minato is naturally skilled in speed, and he is paired with Fushiko, who can sense malice and has a flying summon.
If things go wrong, the two of them can simply run away, or at the very least, they can hold out until Shuo Mao comes to their aid.
The dual perception of Sakumo and Fukuko can also serve as a safeguard.
Sakumo has done everything in his power to ensure the safety of the three and has minimized the possibility of them encountering any mishap.
This arrangement would allow them to hold out even against powerful figures like the Five Kage until he arrives.
Sakumo didn't believe that a mere monster they'd never even seen could cause any trouble!
Even Fukuyo felt that Sakumo was being a bit too cautious.
However, he did not object, and had to admit that those few cyborgs gave Fu Heiyao a bad feeling.
"No time to lose, let's act!"
