Chapter 82:

Akira and his team left the base and went to Iwa's territory to spy and collect information on them.

As usual the rain in the country of rain did not stop pouring, but the weather was not too bad, with only light drizzling.

Akira, Minato and Dan as a team travelled together but there was a ackward atmosphere between them. Especially Akira and Dan, who are lost in their own thoughts and no conversation was made at all. This is because Dan is hostile to Akira and Akira also don't bother to be friends with Dan.

"Ahem, where are we going now?" Minato gradually realized that there was something wrong between Akira and Dan and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere through asking the question.

"Obviously we are going to Iwa territory. According to the map and intelligence data, most of the Iwa ninja have gathered in the south of the country of rain. Therefore we mainly go there and probe on the movements of their ninja forces." Akira said nonchantly.

"No problem." Minato nodded, agreeing.

Akira glanced at Dan and said, "Dan, you don't have any problem with spying on the enemy through your spirit transfomation jutsu right?"

"Ok." Kato said stiffly.

Dan is a peak level jonin and he also has his own unique ninjutsu, called the "spirit transformation jutsu". Spirit transfomation jutsu is a S rank ninjutsu that allows his spirit to leave the body. He can then take possession of a target with his spirit to suppress and collapse the victim's spirit, killing them. Additionally, he can freely manipulate the possessed target action once possessed. This technique can also be used to communicate information or transfer chakra. Regardless of where the target is, this technique will always reach the person whom the user intends to, even if the user has no idea where they are. Having become a living ghost, the spirit has no substance and cannot be affected by enemy attacks.

'Spirit transformation jutsu' is a very powerful and versatile ninjutsu. It is also because of this S rank ninjutsu that Dan can be called a peak level jonin and can also be regarded as a ninjutsu unique to Dan.

It can be said that if Akira can find spirit transformation jutsu weakness, he will be able to defeat Kato Dan easily!

"Brat, spirit transfomation jutsu is not easy to deal with. Are you sure you don't need my help to deal with him?" Sage of the six path jokingly laughed.

Akira smiled faintly and communicated with the sage through his mind: "Although spirit transfomation jutsu is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful a ninjutsu is, it will still have weaknesses and this applies to spirit transfomation jutsu as well. As long as I find out the ninjutsu weaknesses, then there will be nothing to be afraid of, right?"

"Oh? Are you telling me, you know what are the weaknesses of the spirit transfomation jutsu?" The sage want to test Akira.

During this period of time, Akira has followed and learn ninjutsu from the sage. Thus sage of the six path of want to use this opportunity to test on how much Akira had learnt.

Akira explained: "The most terrifying aspect of the spirit transfomation jutsu is that it allows the user spirit to leave their body, killing enemy from a distance. Many people are killed before they can be prepared. But if I take precautions against this ninjutsu, the effectiveness of the spirit transfomation jutsu will be reduce greatly."

"Yes, but despite this, spirit transfomation jutsu is still very difficult to deal with and the genjutsu you are good at is useless." Sage of the six path added.

Akira nodded: "I know, but I believe that despite this, the spirit transfomation jutsu still has two weaknesses. One is that when the ninjutsu is used, the user body will be unable to move and will be at the mercy of others. Secondly, the duration of spirit transfomation cannot be too long, otherwise the user spirit will suffer damage."

Since Akira wants to deal with Dan, he will naturally have to prepare early and had also studied on Dan's spirit transformation jutsu. Firstly, the user body cannot move when the ninjutsu is used. This is the biggest drawback of the spirit transfomation jutsu. In addition, the duration of the ninjutsu is also another problem and cannot be used too long. This is also very understandable. If there is no time limit to the duration of the ninjutsu, the ninjutsu will be too overpowered.

The sage nodded his head in satisfaction and said in amazement: "That's right."

Sage of the six path was very surprised by Akira deduction, Akira actually knew so much about the spirit transfomation jutsu, it seemed that he is really ready to deal with Dan?

"Now that I know the weakness of the spirit transfomation jutsu, I will have the advantage, Kato Dan hm..." A cold light flashed in Akira's eyes.

"Boy, you still have to be careful. The spirit transfomation jutsu is very strong. There is no doubt about this and the other party is still a peak level jonin. It will be really tough fight if both of you went all out..." Sage of the six path reminded Akira kindly.

Akira nodded discretly.

After finishing the chat with sage of the six path and looked at the surrounding environment. Before he knew it, Akira and his team had already travelled a long distance and gradually entered Iwa territory.

"Iwa should be acting around this area, but we still have to be cautious while approaching." Minato looked at the map and reminded.

Both Akira and Dan nodded slightly.

Dan also took a look at Akira, his face was even more gloomy and he was thinking about some malicious ideas in his heart, wondering whether to take this opportunity to kill Akira in one fell swoop, anyway, it is normal for someone to die unexpectedly when going out on a mission right...

While Dan was contemplating on whether to kill Akira, Akira had already made a decisive decision to kill Dan.

Akira's team gradually entered the hinterland of Iwa

"There should be many Iwa ninja and Iwa's camp nearby." Akira said softly.

Minato agreed with Akira's opinion: "Well, how should we spy on Iwa?"

"Hide your breath first and search for the location of Iwa camp." Akira said.

"No problem."

Akira instructed Minato and Dan to search for the location of the Iwa camp. Dan also stop his train of thought and focused on searching.

Akira and his team then concealed their figure and breath. Not long after Minato found the location.

"Akira, I found it, about 3,000 meters southeast, is the location of the Iwa camp! Surrounded by a elite force of Iwa, the number is about one hundred, most likely it is Iwa's explosion corps!" Minato listed out.

Iwa has a special force called explosion corps which is a elite force of Iwa. It is also the target of Akira and his team to spy on and gather intelligence this time.

Akira's eyes lit up: "We have found Iwa location, but let's not alert them of our presence!"

"En." Minato agreed, Dan naturally nodded and obeyed Akira's instructions.

They have successfully found Iwa's explosion corps, but Akira had a sudden inspiration on a way to deal with Dan. Dan is a peak level jonin, while Akira is only a elite level jonin. He is still slightly weaker than Dan overall, thus it won't be advantageous for him if he fight Dan head on.

But the appearance of Iwa ninjas at the momenet is an opportunity for him to take advantage.

Akira plan to make good use of Iwa ninjas to help him get rid of Kato Dan!

Kato Dan's threat was like a knife on his throat, making Akira very uncomfortable and he planned to once and for all, kill Dan with the help of Iwa!
