Yuu, disguised as a merchant and using his Kurama clan genjutsu techniques, managed to board a shop to the land of Water.
With the news from the captain that the trip would take a few days, Yuu retreated to his assigned single room and locked himself inside, placing various traps and signs warning fellow passengers not to enter. Once satisfied with his preparations, Yuu sat on the floor and activated his power. Immediately he felt intense pain across his entire body as various memories were imprinted into his mind. Memories of a hidden base where children were raised to be cold emotionless killers who only existed to follow the orders of Shimura Danzo. Memories of Root.
After a few minutes, his power deactivated having served its purpose. Absorbing 1 elite level jonin and 12 high level jonin enabled Yuu's physique to advance to low level high elite jonin level while his chakra on the other hand advanced to the Peak of elite jonin level.
Yuu felt that his chakra was just a few shy away from breaking through to Kage level..
Yuu also learned, from the root ninja memories, about the seal used by the root ninja to conceal their chakra. It was known as the chakra concealing seal. It was an A rank sealing jutsu applied to high level root shinobi to conceal their chakra. Even proficient and powerful chakra sensors like Yuu wouldn't be able to sense them. Its only weakness is that it can't conceal their chakra from shinobi possessing powerful Dojutsu like the Sharingan and Byakugan as well as from extremely powerful sensor type shinobi at the Kage level and above.
Regardless the shinobi code named 'F' was quite proficient in the creation and usage of the seal despite not being fuinjutsu master which meant that now Yuu also knew how to use it.
And so, the next few days of sea travel with Yuu constantly creating shadow clones and using them to practice the chakra concealing seal.
Half a mile away from the shore of the land of Water, the ship carrying Yuu as well as a number of civilians and other merchants slowly came to a stop.
"What's going on?" asked a young, most likely new and inexperienced, merchant.
"It's the ship inspection carried out by Kirigakure shinobi. "Explained a middle aged merchant. "Don't worry its completely normal" he said assuring the young merchant.
Yuu, in his room, also wasn't worried by the ship stopping as he already knew about the ship inspection of Kirigakure from the memories he had assimilated. He had already cast a genjutsu hiding his chakra from their senses and unless a Kage level shinobi was present among the inspectors, his identity wouldn't be discovered. Even if a Kage was present unless they were standing within a 2 meters radius from him and actively searching for him, he wouldn't be found. That's how powerful his current genjutsu prowess was.
A Kirigakure ninja eventually arrived in front of Yuu's room. The Jonin sensing nothing wrong with Yuu told him to wait outside while he searched his room which Yuu agreed to. After a few minutes the ninja emerged from the room.
"Your room is clear. You are free to return."
"Thank you" said Yuu in another voice.
Eventually the search was completed and with no problems being found with the ships, the ships were allowed to continue onwards.
An hour and a half later the ships docked on one of the ports. Yuu, keeping up appearances, descended alongside the rest of the merchants, boarding carriages that would take them towards a Kirigakure battle camp.
Due to a civil war, the village of Kirigakure had been divided into two separate sections. Occupying a large part of the section were the bloodline clans consisting mainly of the Kaguya, Hozuki, Hoshigaki, Terumi and Yuki.
On the other smaller side of Kirigakure depicting the original rulers /rebel crushers /bloodline eradicators were the Karatachi. Funato, Byakura and Momochi. Judging by their territory within Kirigakure one could see that they were losing this war with the bloodline clans.
Despite the civil war going on in Kirigakure, the village itself was considered neutral ground where the old and weak could stay and recover. The village was also where the incoming merchants would come to trade their goods. Though this agreement wasn't exactly binding as there were times when battles broke out within the village.
The true fighters were located outside the village in camps with the two main camps located on opposite sides of each other.
After spending some time gathering information of the ongoing conflicts, Yuu found an isolated corner in the village to abandon his merchant disguise after which he headed towards the direction of the bloodline side of the village. When he arrived in the area, he concealed himself with genjutsu making himself invisible. With a short sword held in his right hand, he advanced towards three shinobi standing guard in a corner of the border separating the two sides.
After concealing his opponents with genjutsu, with a quick swipe of his sword, he quickly decapitated the three elite chunin. After dissolving their corpses with corpse water and storing their equipment in scrolls, Yuu transformed into one of the Chunin and advanced further into the bloodline region of the village.
With this identity, he managed to roam the village, sometimes concealing a few teams of jonin, Genin and Chunin in secluded areas with genjutsu before swiftly killing them. When he was sure he had learned everything he could about the bloodline section, he concealed himself with genjutsu once more and headed back to the other side of the village.
Finding an abandoned house, Yuu relinquished his genjutsu. After ensuring that there was no one nearby, he used the hidden mole technique to submerge himself deep underground. After ensuring he was deep enough and had access to oxygen through small holes he drilled towards the ground, Yuu activated his power.
Enduring the now familiar painful process, Yuu ended up slightly increasing his physique while his chakra advanced right to the border of Kage level. In fact, Yuu instinctively felt that if he had just killed and absorbed the chakra of just one extra person, he could advance his chakra right into Kage level.
With his new memories, Yuu now knew the location of most of the bloodline camps where various bloodline camps resided. Some mixed while some belonging to particular clans.
With this new information, Yuu decided to now gather information of the rebel crushers. After quickly killing a team of 2 Chunin and a jonin, Yuu once more disguised himself a rebel crushers jonin advancing within their territory. Three hours later, Yuu returned to his hideout, performing the same tactic he had done before to absorb the memories and abilities of the people he had just killed.
