Chapter 217 Shukaku and Gaara, Attack! (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Galullo was startled.

Gaara was instantly captivated by Shukaku's tsundere appearance, and all the terror he had felt before vanished in an instant.

He turned to look at Shouhe and asked, "Lord Xuanyi said you would be my teacher. Can you teach me to defeat Lord Xuanyi?"

Shukaku leaped off Gaara's shoulder, turned around, crossed its forelegs to its chest, and raised its chin, saying, "Kid, do you know how strong this Genichi you're talking about is?"

Gaara said, "My mother said that Lord Genichi is the strongest ninja in the world."

Shukaku shrugged: "Although I hate to admit it, but... Lord Genichi's strength is enough to take on nine of me!"

"nine!"

Shukaku made a hand gesture as he spoke, then proudly declared, "You should know, I am the strongest of the nine tailed beasts!"

"Moreover, kid, I can teach you to become a strong person."

"However, the strongest are not taught, but earned through their own hard work."

"So, kid, do you need me to teach you?"

Gaara nodded: "Yes!"

"I think you're right!"

Shukaku nodded in satisfaction; this kid seemed alright.

Hmm, he deserves some serious training.

Shukaku then looked at Karyura and said, "Woman, you can leave now. It's time for my lesson."

Seeing that Shukaku was not at all as terrifying as a tailed beast, Karyu was relieved and quickly said, "Then I'll leave Gaara to you, Lord Shukaku!"

Hearing the address "Lord Shukaku" pleased Shukaku greatly, and in a good mood, he allowed Karyu to stay and observe his teaching.

……

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade looked at the replies from the various ninja villages and couldn't help but feel indignant: "These bastards, they only care about immediate gains, they're all short-sighted!"

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but chuckle to himself upon hearing this, and secretly added: "This brat is not worthy of any advice!"

"Don't be angry, this was expected, wasn't it?"

Genichi under the tree offered words of comfort.

Shizune nodded and said, "Actually, if it were us, it would be difficult to make such a decision either, right?"

"After all, although we provided some intelligence, it is all questionable to other ninja villages."

"What was that saying, Xuan Yi?"

Genichi Shushita quickly added, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

"We won't turn back until we break through the southern wall!"

Indeed, the Han culture is profound and extensive.

Tsunade tossed aside the replies from each village, crossed her arms, leaned back in her office chair, and said, "It seems that for a long time we'll have to fight Madara Uchiha and the others by ourselves."

Genichi Shushita said, "After failing to seize the Nine-Tails, Madara Uchiha and his group will shift their focus."

"The Hidden Stone Village will probably regret their decision today."

To be honest, he was somewhat looking forward to the scene of Nagato unleashing the Super Shinra Tensei in Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure.

Moreover, this was also an idea that Genichi Koushi had intentionally planted in Nagato's mind beforehand.

Tsunade, however, was worried: "If Madara and the others were to collect the other tailed beasts, it would be very disadvantageous for us."

Shizune nodded in agreement: "Yes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

"But it seems we have no way to stop Madara Uchiha and his group from taking the tailed beasts from other villages, right?"

Xuan Yi under the tree said, "Of course there is a way."

"any solution?"

Tsunade and Shizune asked in unison.

Genichi Shushita said, "It's simple. We'll take over all the tailed beasts from the other villages first."

Tsunade shook her head: "That would mean we start a war with other ninja villages first, which would also be advantageous for Madara Uchiha and his group."

Genichi under the tree spread his hands: "So, you're just asking for trouble."

"The future is far away, and there's nothing we can do to stop it, so there's no need to think about it. Just focus on doing your best in the present."

"Remember, what determines the future is the present."

"As long as we protect the Nine-Tails and the One-Tails, Madara Uchiha and his group will be unable to achieve their goal."

"While their acquisition of other tailed beasts will certainly increase their strength, at the same time, other ninja villages will also completely side with us, thus strengthening our power."

"If we take the initiative to seek an alliance now, or seize the tailed beasts first, we will lose the little initiative we have left."

The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?
Let whoever wants to be it, that's a huge trap.

This is also why Genichi Kinoshita allowed Nagato to possess the Rinnegan and why Madara Uchiha was resurrected.

Black Zetsu wants to revive his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Genichi under the tree also needs it.

However, he needs to control the process.

If you're not strong enough, and Naruto and the others haven't grown up yet, but Six Paths Madara appears and Kaguya Otsutsuki is resurrected, then you're doomed.

Therefore, it carries a certain degree of risk.

But when you try to cross a river by feeling for someone else's footing, you always risk some danger.

After hearing Genichi Kinoshita's words, Tsunade gradually relaxed her brow: "This is the only way for now."

The following morning, the Sunagakure Jinchuriki Protection Team arrived at Konoha.

At 2 PM, the door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open, and Uzumaki Ina rushed in: "Hokage-sama, the latest information from the Sensory Team is that they have sensed Uchiha Tetsuka's chakra, which is located on the border of the Land of Fire."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stood up abruptly: "Immediately notify the Third Hokage, Minato, Fugaku, and the others to proceed according to plan!"

"Yes!"

Uzumaki Ina immediately turned and left.

Xuan Yi stood up under the tree in the office, his senses spreading out rapidly, and he soon saw a familiar figure.

“Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Tetsuka, Nagato…it is indeed them.”

Tsunade said to Shizune, "Shizune, go and tell Karura and Gaara to go to the shelter."

"Arrange for them to be with Kushina and the others."

Jingyin nodded and quickly left to do her work.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village sprang into action quickly, following Tsunade's orders.

First, the security department arranged for all villagers, including genin and chunin, to enter the shelter in an orderly manner.

The security of the shelter was also the responsibility of these chunin and genin.

Itachi Uchiha once again took his younger brother to the shelter, just as he remembered doing so a few years ago.

Now that he is more sensible, he can tell that neither this time nor the last time was a drill.

The villagers, like long dragons, entered the shelter in an orderly fashion under the guidance of the garrison.

Next up are the genin.

Then there were Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Obito, and the Chunin who weren't on missions, such as Yuhi Kurenai and Might Guy.

"This can't be a simple drill, can it?"

Kurenai looked up and saw Kakashi standing on the roof.

Obito Uchiha was furious: "Something must have happened. Damn it, why won't they let us participate in the war?"

Yamato said, "Isn't it because we're not strong enough?"

"Kakashi-senpai is a Jonin, so he was able to participate."

Obito Uchiha looked up at Kakashi on the roof, then leaped over to him.

"Obito..."

Kurenai called out but couldn't stop him, and sighed helplessly, "This guy, he's acting on his own again."

on the roof.

Kakashi turned to look at Obito Uchiha, who had landed in front of him: "Why are you here? Weren't we supposed to be retreating to the shelter?"

Obito Uchiha asked, "This isn't some kind of drill, is it?"

"Has a powerful enemy arrived?"

Kakashi frowned: "This is none of your business."

Obito Uchiha shouted, "I am also a ninja of this village, and I can protect the village too!"

Kakashi's sharp tongue flared up: "If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect the village?"

Obito Uchiha's fist hardened instantly: "Damn it, Kakashi, don't underestimate me!"

"Although I'm not a Jonin yet, my strength is recognized by everyone!"

Kakashi said with a hint of helplessness, "Uchiha Madara, as you know, he has been resurrected."

Uchiha Obito was stunned.

Kakashi said, "Go and protect Rin. This enemy is extremely powerful; it's not something a Chunin can handle!"

"That's what the higher-ups mean too."

"As you can see, those who were able to stay are all Jonin."

"Moreover, he is a Jonin who is proficient in combat."

Obito Uchiha looked up and saw figures standing on rooftops and telephone poles, all wearing Jonin vests.

"I used to be a villager too, why... Damn it!"

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth.

Kakashi coldly said, "Don't say such stupid things again. Madara Uchiha was a rogue ninja of Konoha, and so was Tetsuka Uchiha."

"Also, it's not that you're not participating in the battle."

"Instead, you are to serve as the first line of defense for the shelter."

"If you want to stand here someday, then work harder!"

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth upon hearing this: "That arrogant brat, always lecturing people!"

"Hmph, don't worry, I'll protect my fellow villagers!"

After saying that, Obito Uchiha leaped away. Not long after, several figures leaped over and landed beside Kakashi.

"team leader!"

Genma Shiranui, Aoba Yamashiro, and Might Guy all greeted him.

All three are special Jonin, and Kakashi is currently leading the team.

the other side.

Near the Hokage Building, on the same rooftop, several figures gathered, with Sarutobi Shinnosuke at the center.

His wife, Chizuki; Akimichi Choza; and a Jonin from the Yamanaka clan and a Nara clan.

Yamanaka Inoichi is in charge of the Perception Class, and Nara Shikaku is in the Hokage Building.

In other parts of Konoha Village, Jonin squads were also gathering.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

Tsunade, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Sakumo Hatake, and Jiraiya gathered together.

Stepping to the edge of the rooftop, Tsunade bit her finger and formed a hand seal to summon a giant slug.

"Tsunade-sama!"

The slug opened its mouth.

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Slug, please disperse to the Jonin squads in various parts of the village."

"Yes!"

The slug tapped its antennae, and then its body immediately split into individual slugs, which headed in different directions from the village.

Tsunade turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others and said, "Each of you should bring a slug!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three companions immediately each took a slug and placed it on their shoulders.

Slugs can heal wounds and also provide real-time battlefield information.

"I'm counting on you all for now!"

Tsunade said solemnly.

This time, she first played the role of a wet nurse.

In the battle, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others were the main force.

"Don't worry, Tsunade, leave the rest to us!"

Jiraiya smiled.

Tsunade stared at him: "Don't be careless, just like that idiot Orochimaru."

"And Nagato, at a time like this, don't hold back."

Jiraiya laughed awkwardly twice: "I'm not that Orochimaru guy, don't worry!"

Minato Namikaze said, "The markings are all done, we can begin!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in full military attire, said in a deep voice, "Then prepare for battle!"

Sakumo Hatake nodded: "Okay!"

Minato Namikaze immediately raised one hand.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them disappeared from the rooftop.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Sakumo Hatake, and Minato Namikaze split into two groups and appeared at the south gate and west side of Konoha Village.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, the master and disciple duo, appeared above the village's main gate.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Sakumo Hatake were on the west side, on a rooftop not far from the wall, facing the Land of Rain.

At this moment, only Tsunade, Ina Uzumaki, and an ANBU guard remained on the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

As for Genichi Shushita, he was standing on the roof of the Hokage Building, with the natural energy of heaven and earth constantly flowing into his body and being absorbed by his cells.

At the same time, his Sage Chakra continued to converge towards the Yin Seal on his forehead.

First, dispel the primordial spirit clone, and then cast it again, allowing the primordial spirit clone to carry a massive amount of chakra into the White Zetsu clone's body.

Moreover, the chakra continued to be transferred to the puppet clones through the chakra rods created by the Yin-Yang Release technique, accumulating and storing it.

This is one of the benefits of becoming an immortal.

Even if he hasn't fully transformed into a Sage, he can quickly replenish his physical strength by absorbing natural energy, greatly increasing his chakra limit and recovery ability.

Of course, nowadays, when the body's cells directly absorb natural energy, it is only magnetic field and electromagnetic energy.

For example, the Earth's magnetic field, sunlight, and various visible and invisible electromagnetic wave energies.

Therefore, Genichi Shushita needs to separate the natural energy he inhales into his body, using part of it to directly create Sage Chakra and the rest to be absorbed by his cells.

This can be considered to form a cycle.

"coming!"

Xuan Yi opened his eyes under the tree.

At the same time, Yamanaka Inoichi's voice echoed in Tsunade's mind: "Hokage-sama, Uchiha Madara and the others are less than 5 kilometers away from the west side of the village."

Tsunade's expression darkened: "Understood. Notify the others and keep a close watch."

Genichi appeared beside Tsunade: "Don't worry, I'm here!"

"I'll go outside the village and meet them first."

Tsunade nodded: "Be careful."

Uzumaki Ina stared longingly at Genichi under the tree.

Genichi turned around and smiled at her before disappearing.

West of Konoha Village.

On the rooftop, Hyuga Hizashi, his white eyes wide open, had already spotted Uchiha Madara and the others: "There are nine enemies in total. According to intelligence, six of them should be Pain's puppets controlled by Nagato, the owner of the Rinnegan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not far away, said, "It seems that the enemy did not send out their full force?"

"Hizashi, check underground to see if there are any enemies hiding there?"

"According to Xuan Yi's intelligence, the plant-like person named Bai Jue has an amazing ability to burrow underground."

Hyuga Hizashi immediately shifted his gaze: "Yes, Third Hokage!"

His gaze swept across the land as he quickly searched.

Besides him, there were other Hyuga ninjas nearby who were also searching in other directions.

Soon, Hyuga Shinobu shouted, "Found it!"

"Two enemies are lurking underground, also moving rapidly towards the village, and they're almost inside!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Send a small team to keep an eye on them!"

Immediately, a Jonin squad, along with a Hyuga Jonin, set their sights on Zetsu and Tobi, who were underground.

At that moment, Yamanaka Inoichi's voice rang in everyone's minds: "Attention everyone, Genichi has made contact with the enemy!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others immediately felt a chill and looked up to gaze at the scene.

Apart from the Hyuga clan ninjas, everyone else could only see the lush forest outside the village.

To the west of Konoha Village, in the forest.

Madara Uchiha and the others stopped in their tracks and looked at Genichi Kinoshita, who had suddenly appeared opposite them.

"Are you alone?"

Madara Uchiha spoke with a hint of amusement.

Genichi under the tree said, "Ban, isn't I your target?"

Nagato said calmly, "No, our target is still the One-Tailed Beast."

"Is the One-Tailed Jinchuriki in Konoha? Is he hiding in a shelter now?"

Genichi looked at Nagato. Several years had passed, and Nagato had come of age.

Moreover, thanks to Hashirama's cells, and even Madara Uchiha's instruction on how to truly control the Gedo Mazo, Nagato did not become emaciated.

He could be described as having an upright posture.

"So, Nagato, have you made up your mind?"

Xuan Yi Dao under the tree.

Nagato nodded: "Therefore, I won't hold back from now on."

"of course."

Genichi under the tree nodded: "Since we have chosen this path, we should continue on it without hesitation."

"On this point, I support you!"

"Of course, I won't show any mercy when I kill you."

Madara Uchiha glanced at Nagato, then said to Genichi Kishita, "Looks like you're quite confident you can take us down?"

Genichi chuckled: "Of course I have confidence, but speaking of which, you should be stronger now than last time, right?"

"Otherwise, I will be very disappointed!"

Madara Uchiha smirked: "I hope you won't be like this later."

Genichi looked very interested: "Oh? It seems you've become even stronger, but I wonder if it's compared to your peak... no, back in the Battle of the Valley of the End, you hadn't even awakened the Rinnegan yet."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Nagato: "Nagato, are you aware of this information?"

Nagato nodded slightly, and at that moment Uchiha Tetsuka said, "Kushita Genichi, don't act like you know everything and try to sow discord here."

"How much do you really know about the secrets of the Rinnegan?"

"It's just some completely speculative information obtained from Orochimaru."

"I know you have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and were able to escape from us, but after today, Konoha will be completely wiped out."

"You will watch your loved ones and your friends die. This is your punishment for ignoring the fact that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was ruthlessly taken away!"

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this: "Tetsuka, do you know why Danzo didn't kill him after he stole the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan?"

"Not capable enough?"

"With the Kaleidoscope activated and the original cells at your disposal, you're more than capable of killing him a hundred times over, right?"

"So why don't you kill him?"
