Shiratori Rin walked behind Yushishi's chair, his hand resting on the back of the chair, injecting Curse Power into it.
He released his hand and repeated the action, injecting Curse Power into all the chairs beneath the Rain Ninjas present.
The Rain Ninjas watched Shiratori Rin's movements, their faces filled with confusion.
Many times they wanted to ask Shiratori Rin what he was doing, but when their eyes met Shiratori Rin's serious expression, they all fell silent, not disturbing Shiratori Rin.
Shiratori Rin returned to his seat.
All the Rain Ninjas still stared at him intently.
"Rin, what did you do?"
Yushishi asked curiously.
He turned and touched his chair, but nothing had changed.
Yushishi was even more confused.
So what was Rin doing just now?
Shiratori Rin took a deep breath, extended his hands, and activated Nishimiya Momo's technique—Tsukumogami Manipulation Technique.
The next second.
The Ninjas sitting on the chairs floated up, slowly ascending towards the top of the tent above their heads.
More accurately, it wasn't the Ninjas who were suspended, but the chairs beneath them.
The Ninjas stared dumbfounded at the stools under their bottoms, their shocked gazes sweeping back and forth between Shiratori Rin and the stools.
The stools could fly!
No!
It wasn't that the stools could fly!
It was that Shiratori Rin controlled the stools to fly!
How did he do it?
The Ninjas were both surprised and delighted.
"They're flying!"
"They really can fly!"
"This way, we can cross the Sandstorm Zone!"
"..."
The excited discussions of the Ninjas echoed continuously within the tent.
Shiratori Rin controlled the chairs to land on the ground.
Yushishi rushed to Shiratori Rin in one stride, disregarding that Hanzou was still sitting beside Shiratori Rin, and grabbed Shiratori Rin's shoulders: "Rin, how did you do it? Can you control more chairs? Can you only control chairs? Or other items too? How high can the chairs fly? How long does it last?"
Yushishi's questions poured out like spilling beans.
His breathing was rapid, and his pupils gleamed as he looked at Shiratori Rin.
He wished he could lift Shiratori Rin high and give him a few good kisses.
Shiratori Rin patiently answered his questions one by one: "This isn't my power, this is the power of a curse."
A broom floated beside Shiratori Rin; he glanced at it, then told Yushishi: "This curse can manipulate objects to move."
The Rain Ninjas' gazes immediately fell upon the broom.
So, this wasn't an ordinary broom after all!
"I can control more chairs, but I don't know the exact number I can control."
Shiratori Rin shook his head honestly.
"Not only can I control chairs, but I can also control other items to move."
"The controlled chairs can fly as high as they want, and as for the duration..."
Shiratori Rin estimated, "It should last for two hours!"
Yushishi could no longer contain the smile on his face.
He looked at Shiratori Rin with pleasant surprise; Rin was truly the lucky star of their Amegakure!
With Rin, all the problems they encountered were easily solved!
What else could he be if not a lucky star?
Yushishi immediately looked at Lord Hanzou: "With Rin's ability, we can cross the Sandstorm Zone and catch the Hidden Sand Village off guard!"
His pupils burned with fierce Battle Intent.
The Rain Ninjas, hearing Yushishi's words, also became excited, all rubbing their hands together, looking excitedly at Hanzou at the head of the table.
Hanzou's peripheral vision fell upon Shiratori Rin.
Rin had given him too many surprises!
Senba Suzume was the only Rain Ninja who remained calm; his gaze swept over the excited crowd and landed on Hanzou, calmly speaking: "If Shiratori Rin's power is needed to cross the Sandstorm Zone, doesn't that mean he also has to participate in the surprise attack plan? The surprise attack plan is fraught with danger, and I believe Shiratori Rin should not be involved."
Senba Suzume's words immediately poured like a bucket of cold water over the heads of the Rain Ninjas.
Yushishi's face showed hesitation.
Indeed, letting Shiratori Rin participate in the surprise attack plan was too risky.
But if Shiratori Rin didn't participate, how would they cross the Sandstorm Zone?
Yushishi was in a dilemma.
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Hanzou spoke.
He looked at Shiratori Rin beside him and asked, "Rin, tell me your own thoughts."
Shiratori Rin looked back at Hanzou, the firm light in his eyes silently telling Hanzou the answer.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at all the Rain Ninjas present.
"I am willing to participate in the surprise attack plan!"
Shiratori Rin's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Nonsense!"
Senba Suzume frowned, deep worry hidden beneath his sternness, "Do you think a surprise attack is child's play?"
Shiratori Rin looked earnestly at Senba Suzume: "Brother Qianyu, don't always treat me like a child who understands nothing! I am a Ninja, and I know the surprise attack plan is very dangerous! But fighting alongside everyone has always been my wish!"
A brilliant smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"As long as I fight alongside everyone to protect the Amegakure, I won't be afraid of anything!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected Hanzou's Affection Value +3000"
"Ding!"
"The System detected Senba Suzume's Affection Value +2000"
"Ding!"
"The System detected Yushishi's Affection Value +2000"
"..."
"Currently, a total of 43000 Affection Value has been collected, and your companion Cursed Spirit Rika Orimoto's Rank has increased to 77.3%."
"Shu, we will protect Rin, don't worry!"
"Exactly! Don't worry!"
"We'll definitely bring him back safe and sound!"
"..."
The Rain Ninjas knew that Shiratori Rin was brought to Amegakure by Senba Suzume, and there was a deep bond between Senba Suzume and Shiratori Rin; they could understand Senba Suzume's worry at this moment.
"Brother Qianyu, don't worry!"
"For Brother Qianyu, I will definitely return safely!"
Shiratori Rin gazed intently at Senba Suzume.
Only Senba Suzume could understand the emotion in his eyes.
Senba Suzume lowered his trembling pupils.
That was the look of a younger brother at his older brother.
"Ding!"
"The System detected Senba Suzume's Nostalgia Value +4000"
"Your Cursed Spirit Choso's Rank has increased to 51.3%."
Shiratori Rin shifted his target.
It was Hanzou's turn!
"Teacher, please grant my request to join the surprise attack team!"
Shiratori Rin's gaze was burning.
"I am your Disciple, Teacher!"
"I will not fear battle!"
"I will be as firm and strong as you!"
"Protect the Amegakure!"
"Protect everyone!"
His courage and fearlessness were evident to all.
Hanzou's eyes were filled with deep satisfaction.
In terms of Heart-Nature, this child had already surpassed him!
"Ding!"
"The System detected Hanzou's Nostalgia Value +5000"
"Your Cursed Spirit Choso's Rank has increased to 51.8%."
Hanzou believed that Shiratori Rin's future would be even more brilliant than his own!
