Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 74
Chapter 74: All Destroyed
Saari is losing his mind. His vision was blurred by dung, and his mouth was filled with it. Every time he inhaled through his nose, the stench made his head spin. To make matters worse, he had nothing to wipe his eyes with.
“Master Saari! I’ll help you! Ugh~~”
Finally, a familiar voice sounded. Despite occasional retching, it didn’t diminish the loyalty in the voice. It was one of his subordinates coming over.
Slurpp~~
With his eyes closed, Saari heard the sound of “Slurpp” and felt the dung on his eyes being wiped away. He felt a surge of excitement. Did his subordinate have a way to clean his eyes?
Soon enough, Saari opened his eyes and spat out the dung in his mouth. And there it was. He saw his subordinate in front of him also spitting out dung.
“Did you wipe it with your mouth? Gross~~”
Puff!
The subordinate spat out dung with an innocent expression.
“My lord, it’s the only way to clean it now, otherwise I won’t be able to get rid of it. Gwoock~~”
And it wasn’t just that subordinate. At that moment, all the Sand Shinobi around were helping each other, wiping dung off one another.
“Look, my lord, someone is coming over.”
There was no need for the subordinate to remind him. Sand Power had already noticed. He saw the young man who had created the dung sea standing on a lump of dung, floating toward them.
“Control Dung! It’s him! He killed Rosa!”
Saari finally recognized him. He knew that Rosa had been killed by the dung user from Konoha. Chiba was slightly surprised and looked at Sali.
Then, he snapped his fingers.
Ability activated—The Reincarnation of Grains.
In an instant, the expressions of all the Sand Shinobi changed drastically.
Groan! Groan! Groan!
A large number of air bubbles rose from the dung sea and burst with a bang.
“I feel so dizzy, I have no strength at all…”
“I can’t move either, it’s like a paralysis jutsu!”
“It’s sinking…”
“Help~ Gululu!”
A group of people weakly cried out as they were gradually submerged.
“I never thought I would drown in dung…”
That was Saari’s last thought before he perished. It was getting dark.
“Right about there.”
After estimating the time, Chiba waved his hand.
Boom!
In an instant, the dung sea churned again, rose into the air, and began to condense. He intended to recycle this dung sea. After all, there was so much dung there, it would be a waste not to reuse it. After a while, a giant dung ball with a diameter of hundreds of meters condensed in midair.
“Compression!”
Chiba needed to compress it. Otherwise, it would take forever to consume it all.
“Recompress!”
“Keep compressing!”
Finally, with constant compression, Chiba swallowed the dung ball. For the fourth time, he declared: He merely sent the dung balls to the septic tank through his mouth; he didn’t actually consume them.
Walking towards the dozens of corpses, Chiba began to finish them off. Taking a cue from Rosa’s example, Chiba believed it was necessary to develop a habit of finishing off his opponents.
Mimicry ability activated—”Dung Cut!”
As a useful finishing move, Dung Cut had become his standard technique for delivering the final blow.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
After each strike, Chiba raised and lowered his knife, cutting through the corpses like chopping melons and vegetables Soon, he reached the burly corpse.
Puff!
Without any surprises, the corpse was cut into two pieces. Suddenly, thick black and purple smoke spewed out from the corpse, spreading toward Chiba in the blink of an eye.
“Poison gas?”
Looking at the black and purple stains on his arm, Chiba realized what it was.
“So this person was a drug dealer.”
If anyone else had been exposed to this highly concentrated black-purple gas, they would likely have died instantly. But for Chiba…Birds were useless. He immediately used the Reincarnation of Grains on himself.
“I feel refreshed, my whole body feels transparent, and even the black and purple color is gone.”
Chiba was quite satisfied with the effects of the Reincarnation of Grains.
…
Back in the village
The white-haired old man was still sitting on the stone pier, occasionally glancing towards the village entrance.
“Old man, it’s getting dark. Come back for dinner!”
“Just a moment longer. What if the kid gets lost? I’ll wait.”
The old man clicked his cigarette.
“Don’t wait. She just passed by and left a while ago.”
“Let me sit a little longer.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly stood up and vigorously rubbed his eyes.
“Look, old lady, isn’t that young man coming back?”
Pointing towards the village entrance, the old man was filled with surprise. The old couple spotted Chiba. Chiba also saw the old couple. Hurrying over, Chiba felt a little embarrassed.
“I’m here to eat again…”
“Oh, why do you smell so bad? Were you really collecting dung?”
The old man caught a whiff of the odor and pulled Chiba into their yard.
“Clean up! There’s water in the yard.”
“Can you handle it, young man? No, I’ll wash it for you.”
“Help him, you old woman. Go back to the house and prepare dinner.”
“Hmph!”
Seeing the old couple bickering, Chiba felt a little embarrassed. After a quick shower, Chiba started cooking.
“By the way, it’s getting dark. You can stay here tonight.”
The old man had a kind smile as he spoke, not forgetting to put food into Chiba’s bowl.
“Thank you.”
Chiba replied vaguely, eating quietly.
“You can stay in the old woman’s room tonight. I’ll squeeze in with the old woman.”
“Who said I’m squeezing with you? I’ll squeeze with this young man.”
Puff!
Chiba sprayed rice all over the table. That night, Chiba tossed and turned, unable to sleep well.
…
In the Land of Fire
Orochimaru held a white tissue and observed it attentively.
“Orochimaru, it’s getting dark. Can you stop staring at that thing?” Jiraiya complained.
He didn’t understand why Orochimaru was so fixated on something that seemed pointless.
Ignoring Jiraiya’s muttering, Orochimaru solemnly wrapped the tissue and put it in his sleeve.
“Huh? Is that a house up ahead?”
Suddenly, Jiraiya exclaimed, picking up the pace. Soon, the three of them arrived at the wooden house.
“Why is there a wooden house here?”
“The roof is leaking, but it’s perfect for stargazing at night.”
Jiraiya and Tsunade examined the house. Orochimaru scouted the surroundings.
“Hmm?”
Bending down, Orochimaru noticed signs of corrosion.
“This place used to be a large tree. It was corroded by something…”
Muttering to himself, Orochimaru stood up and looked at the wooden house opposite. His suspicions grew stronger.
…
Early the next morning
After spending the night there, the three continued on their journey.
“We’ll soon reach the border of Uzumaki. How should we go about finding Chiba?”
Jiraiya leaped through the forest, not forgetting to ask. After all, their mission was to protect Chiba, and if they couldn’t even find him, how could they fulfill their duty?
“Yeah, the Land of Whirlpools is quite vast. We can’t simply ask everyone we come across, right?”
Tsunade also expressed her concerns, worried that they might miss Chiba. Orochimaru didn’t have a brilliant idea for locating Chiba either.
Then, when the three of them entered the Land of Whirlpools, they had to resort to the most primitive method: Ask anyone they encountered!
As they approached a village, the three walked along the path. They saw Chiba coming out of a yard at the village entrance, bidding farewell to two enthusiastic elderly people.
Jiraiya: “Did we find him just like that?”
Tsunade: “Isn’t it too easy?”
Orochimaru: “…”
