Chapter 2: On Shadow Techniques and Avoiding Pressure
Kushina was pleased that her deskmate didn't dislike her, but seeing that he had no interest in talking to her, she didn't dare to bother him.
She lay down on the table, feeling a little sleepy, and drifted off to sleep.
Recent events have really dampened her spirits.
I don't know why, but the sound of the teacher lecturing suddenly made me sleepy.
During break time, the teacher saw that Kushina was sleeping and did not disturb her.
When Okawa Shuichi thought of the Anbu members standing next to Kushina when she arrived, and the Hokage's verbal order, he dared not pay any attention to Kushina anymore.
When others saw this, they disliked Kushina even more.
"I was punished by being made to stand in the corner last time I slept in class."
"Why isn't this red-haired monster being used? The teacher is biased!"
"Honestly, her accent is strange; she must be from another village."
"Yes, we don't want to attend classes with people from other villages."
"I've heard that people outside are very savage. What if she's a monster?"
"Red-haired monster!"
A few mischievous kids stepped forward to make their presence known.
The sound grew louder and louder, attracting many people who gathered in the last row.
Kushina, who was being pointed at and talked about by everyone, woke up from her sleep.
At first she was a little confused, but when she heard those sarcastic and malicious words, she felt a sense of grievance and sadness.
Several mischievous children even went up to grab Kushina's hair.
Just then, the curtains were drawn back, and the shadow of Obsidian was stretched long in the morning sunlight.
However, something was off about Fu Heiyao's shadow; it seemed to be alive.
"Fu Heiyao, we didn't provoke you!"
The sharp-eyed students seemed to know what Fu Heiyao was planning to do, and reacted accordingly.
"I think I said, don't disturb my rest."
Fu Heiyao slowly formed hand seals, his hand shadows outlining the shape of a wolf within the shadows.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand me, I know a little bit about martial arts."
Crimson chakra rose from Fukuyo's body, causing even his shadow to boil.
Ten types of shadow magic
A top-tier technique from the world of cursed return.
It was a gift that Fukuyo received upon coming into this world.
Using shadows as a medium, summon ten different shikigami.
Jade Dog: A dog with tracking and hunting abilities.
Toad: A frog whose tongue has a binding effect and whose body can store things like a shadow space.
Orochi: A snake with outstanding defense.
Escaped Rabbit: A rabbit that cannot be destroyed and can split infinitely.
Nue: An owl possessing lightning magic.
Manxiang: A giant elephant that can spew water
Guan Niu: A bull with a power-accumulating mechanism
Enshika: The deer who has mastered the art of reversal.
Tiger's Lair: A tiger with extremely high stats.
Demon Void: The ultimate shikigami that adapts to all things
The Ten Shadows Technique is a comprehensive ability that combines mechanics and numerical values, and has extremely high potential.
Especially the last shikigami, known as the untamable and adaptable to all things, is the Demon Lord.
Fu Heiya believed that the Ten Shadows Technique had a much higher potential than Su Nuo's Demon Subduing Chef Technique.
Two jade dogs, one black and one white, were summoned.
The moment they appeared, they immediately flanked their master's feet.
Its half-meter-tall stature and sharp teeth are awe-inspiring.
The two jade dogs stared intently at the group of people in the lead.
Upon seeing the two dogs, the mischievous kids in the class seemed to know what was about to happen; they were terrified and ran out of the classroom in droves.
"Run!"
"Once we get there, and drag it out until class starts, Fu Heiyao won't dare do anything to us!"
But when they ran to the door, they were suddenly surprised to find a giant toad blocking the entrance.
The toad stuck out its tongue, and the sight of its large, sticky tongue made one break out in a cold sweat.
The troublemaking brat looked at the sticky toad, then inadvertently caught sight of the jade dog slowly walking towards him, and felt utterly hopeless.
"Bite until they beg for mercy."
As soon as Fu Heiya gave the order, the classroom immediately descended into chaos.
"It's astonishing every time I see it; I never thought such a spiritual technique existed."
Nara Shikaku caught a glimpse of the churning shadow beneath Fushiko's feet and was secretly astonished.
"By the way, does Fushiko Kuroyo have Nara family blood?"
Yamanaka Inoichi casually remarked, "After all, I've never seen anyone else manipulate shadows before."
"You can't just say things like that."
Shikaku quickly reached out and covered Inoichi's mouth.
"Who cares, as long as his dog doesn't bite us."
Choza Akimichi said nonchalantly while eating snacks.
"People who contract dogs can't be bad people." Inuzuka Tsurugi wholeheartedly agreed, adding a note in return.
And in the last row,
"Thank you so much."
Seeing that Fushiko had stood up for her, Kushina immediately expressed her gratitude.
She felt that Fu Heiyao was different from others.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a kind heart.
And he looked really cool just now, and the summoned animals were also very strong.
"A person who has so many animal friends must be a kind person."
Kushina's eyes lit up when she saw Fushiko Kuroko, who was commanding the Treasure Dog.
Fu Heiya nodded, then focused on sensing the two shikigami, the Jade Dog and the Toad.
He sensed their every injury and action.
He has recently been experimenting with the chimera mechanism of ten shadow spells.
Each time a shikigami is injured, and each time it infiltrates the shadows to repair itself, his understanding of the shikigami's abilities deepens.
The first five types of shikigami are relatively easy to subdue, but it becomes difficult starting with Manzō.
From now on, the difficulty of subduing each shikigami will increase dramatically.
The traditional ten types of shadow magic lack offensive power, and even if the goal is only to subdue the nine shikigami other than the demon Xu Luo, it will take a long time.
Not to mention the top-tier numerical mechanics of the Demon Void.
He needs to accelerate this process and seize greater power as soon as possible.
The hybrid shikigami is the solution chosen by Fukokuyo. It can greatly enhance the strength of shikigami and break the rule that three shikigami cannot appear at the same time.
Fukuyo began to deeply analyze the core abilities of the shikigami he had at the age of five, in preparation for the creation of chimera shikigami.
Saving Kushina was just an excuse; after all, he would find a "suitable" reason to get "closer" to his classmates every day.
However, unexpected things always happen, and the lottery that had been going wrong for six years finally came true.
As a purely numerical spell, the Demon Slayer's reputation is largely due to Sukuna, but it should not be underestimated.
After digesting Su Nuo's technique and combining it with the Chimera Beast, Fu Heiyao felt that he was one step closer to subduing the nine shikigami.
........
When Shuichi Okawa returned to the classroom, he couldn't keep his composure when he saw the classroom that looked as if it had been swept up by a gust of wind.
"Who knows what happened in the classroom!"
"It was just the students messing around and playing around."
As the class monitor, Minato broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as powerless as an incompetent husband, and forced himself to explain.
He tried to persuade Fu Heiyao, but after seeing a large snake looming in the shadow beneath his feet, he fell silent.
"And what about the bumps on their heads?"
Okawa Shuichi had a complicated expression.
"We were just fooling around and accidentally fell!"
"Yes, we were just fooling around and bumped into each other by accident."
The students seemed to have been given the same set of instructions, leaving the teacher helpless.
"Don't organize the students to play like this next time, Fushiguro-kun."
Okawa looked at the window seat in the back row and said helplessly.
He could tell at a glance who the "culprit" was, but what could he do? After all, Fushiguro was very sensible.
Those two dogs were very careful when they bit; they never really hurt anyone.
These daily activities not only improve the class atmosphere and unite classmates, but also hone their practical skills.
Even his class ranking improved as a result, making him proud and too embarrassed to criticize anything further.
"Ahem, this is the last time. Let's continue the lesson."
After school, Kushina seemed much more lively, skipping and jumping as she ran home.
It would be a lie for Fushiko to say that he didn't care at all about Kushina's special identity.
But I didn't really take it seriously.
This year is Konoha Year 33, and peace has lasted for more than ten years.
Without the pressure of war, Konoha, which occupies the most fertile land, is at its most prosperous. Although there is darkness there, it is not so bad as to harm children.
Moreover, Kushina is not a Jinchūriki yet, so it wouldn't cause the higher-ups to panic.
Of course, Fu Heiyao, who has mastered the Ten Shadows Technique, is not afraid of these things. He has the ultimate self-destructing soldier, Xu Luo, and the ultimate killer, Su Nuo.
If you really piss him off, I wouldn't mind cosplaying as "Not Afraid of Pressure".
...........
Hokage Building
The four members of Konoha sat around the crystal ball.
The first enrollment of the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
When they saw Fu Heiyao summon a "spirit beast" from the shadows, all four of them were astonished.
But the shock was only momentary; it was ultimately just a special kind of psychic magic.
They had seen countless forbidden arts in their lives, even summoning the dead, so mere spirit communication was not worth their attention.
"Hiruzen, this kid is perfect for Root. I want him to join after he graduates."
Danzo said in a low voice.
"The Root organization has only been established for a short time. You wouldn't refuse such a small request of mine, would you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Hokage hat, did not answer Danzo's request immediately. Instead, he leisurely picked up his pipe and started smoking.
The smoke gradually spread throughout the office, and Danzo and his two old friends nodded slowly as they showed signs of impatience.
