Elemental minefield

Toge was mistaken about what the ability actually did though I could see why as without sharp senses it truly would appear as though anywhere the sheep stepped turned explosive. In truth though the ability was actually comprised of three interconnected parts. The first was the transformation of normal chakra to fire elemental chakra. The second was the molding of the chakra into a dense but stable state. The final was a unique way of using chakra to place a sticky "trigger" on the chakra when it was ejected from the sheep's hooves.-

All together and the sheep effectively created elemental landmines that went off at the slightest disturbance. Copying the ability was as a result not all that hard since I already had all the basic parts pretty much figured out and only needed to put it into practice. Unlike the sheep though I could create these "landmines" from any part of my body which effectively made me a very porcupine like existence. Like just imagine an enemy goes to grapple me in some way only to end up with a powerful explosive attached to his hand.-

The best part though? I could use the ability with ALL of the elements for different effects. Earth chakra for example caused a rain of hard stone shrapnel to go everywhere upon detonation. Wind chakra was basically a razor trap that shredded everything in a few meters when it went off. Lightning was my favorite though as it effectively struck the nearest thing with a thick bolt of the stuff. Water was pretty much useless though as it just sent water splashing outwards but besides the impact was entirely undamaging. I imagined that it would be a good way to mess with people who fell into a trap though.-

If you covered a whole room in these mines and then had it sealed airtight the whole room would flood and drown whoever was there if they couldn't bust out in time. Honestly though at that point you may as well just use a different element since it would kill them way faster. Shizune said that it would be a useful jutsu for water release specialists since they could create an environment that worked for them in a hurry. I hadn't thought of it that way but could see the merit in that utilization not that I was planning to share this jutsu since the would ruin the surprise when I used it in the future.-

Plus once I get my property set up I was going to boobytrap the unholy hell out of it and this jutsu was perfect for that. Anyways after I mastered the sheep's ability I had it sign the summoning contract and then set it at my parents house with a note and a couple million ryo that they could use to take care of it. I also set a long term mission at the village mission center for someone to feed it everyday until my parents came back.-

(Meanwhile in a ROOT base)

"Our information must be incorrect as otherwise there should be no way that team should have failed to capture the targets. Update the file on Kenzo Mizuyama to Jonin status, the boy may not be at that level yet but I don't want to take the chance that I am wrong again." Danzo ordered with a dark expression.

'I'll need to lay low after this as Hiruzen will no doubt tie this incident to me. Luckily the seals destroyed the brains so he won't have definitive proof and only suspicions. Still this whole operation was a massive waste of resources as that was years of time and training to create those operatives destroyed by mere faulty information. I knew I should have snatched up the boy long ago but now i fear it's too late if this new forbidden jutsu is any indication. The ability to be in multiple places at once in a true sense, such a technique is wasted on people like that.' he thought with dark greed.

Moving on to another piece of troublesome information he couldn't help but frown. The report stated that Tsunade Senju was beginning to overcome her fear of blood which did not bode well at all for his plans. Despite his advanced age Danzo still coveted the throne of Hokage and if she were to no longer have a fear of blood then more likely than not he would be passed over for the position, again. He could understand why as her combat and medical prowess in addition to her lineage made her a prime candidate when her age was also taken into account.
