Chapter 257 The New Era: We Must Taste the Flavors of 100 Years
"teacher……"

On the rooftop, Deidara stared wide-eyed at Onoki, who had been pierced by Susanoo.

Just moments before, he had witnessed Onoki slaughtering everyone, taking down two enemies in an instant.

"Damn it!"

"I'll show you the art of explosion!"

Deidara roared and then charged into the battlefield.

On the other side, Kakashi and the others who had just arrived were also shocked by the scene of Onoki's death.

Granny Chiyo was shocked: "The Tsuchikage was actually......"

If it were Sunagakure, would it be the same?
The three Jonin from Sunagakure behind him swallowed hard.

That's the Earth Shadow!

"It seems we're a step too late."

The ice puppet clone said, "Kakashi, Kakuzu and Sasori are yours to handle. I will seal the Second Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage."

Obito Uchiha stared at Gintoki and said, "Xuan Yi, that one was controlled by Madara Uchiha, right? Why don't you leave it to me?"

"Okay!"

The ice golem clone agreed and then shouted, "Let's move out!"

The person had vanished from the spot before the words were even finished.

Kakashi and the others also disappeared from their original positions and rushed to the battlefield of Kakuzu and Sasori at top speed.

"We are reinforcements from Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure!"

Kakashi's loud shout delighted the restless Iwa ninja.

Although Kirigakure was also destroyed by Akatsuki, Konoha was not.

"Gentlemen of Iwagakure, leave these two to us!"

Kakashi said.

"Then it's up to you!"

The Iwa ninja Jonin, Higashi Shijin, appreciated the gesture and immediately led the other Iwa ninja away, heading straight for Onoki.

"Guys from Konoha..."

Kakuzu looked at Kakashi and the others.

Sasori's gaze fell on Granny Chiyo: "Granny, it's been a long time."

Granny Chiyo's expression was complicated: "I never imagined that it really was you who secretly harmed the Third Kazekage!"

"Return the Third Hokage's body, give up resistance, and come back to the village with me to accept your punishment!"

Sasori of the Red Sand, hidden inside Hiruko, said, "Grandma, don't be silly."

Granny Chiyo's gaze suddenly sharpened: "In that case, I will personally take you back."

She turned to Kakashi and said, "Leave him to me!"

Kakashi nodded slightly: "No problem."

"But be careful, according to intelligence, this guy may have also transformed himself into a puppet."

Grandma Chiyo's expression changed upon hearing this.

Sasori of the Red Sand was also surprised to hear this, but then he realized something and said, "It seems that woman Konan leaked my information!"

Although Sasori previously thought that Konan didn't know his background, now that the information has been leaked, Konan is the only possibility.

Kakashi didn't respond, glanced at the huge black iron cone and pillar floating in the air, and said to Guy, "Guy, you'll assist Sunagakure."

Kai nodded: "Understood!"

After saying that, he squatted down, clenched his fists, and opened six gates in succession. Green chakra light burst out from his body, stirring up a gale, which made the people from Kirigakure and Sunagakure turn their heads.

Kisame, carrying the great sword Samehada on his back, was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect this ordinary guy to be hiding such power."

Recalling some information he had read before, he realized, "So that's how it is. This power must be the one that our predecessors encountered back then."

"Kakashi, I'm leaving now!"

After speaking, Obito Uchiha leaped forward, intending to pass between Kakuzu and Sasori of the Red Sand.

Kurenai immediately formed a hand seal.

Illusion, sealing off the five senses!
Kakuzu's five senses were instantly sealed off by Kurenai Yuhi.

The sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out, Kakashi was enveloped in electricity, and in a flash he disappeared from his spot, like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Kakuzu.

However, although Kakuzu was controlled by Kurenai Yuhi's illusion, the three masked monsters in the air were unaffected.

The lightning-masked monster immediately gathered lightning and shot it toward Kakashi.

However, Ringo Ameyuri of Kirigakure crossed her twin swords, which also crackled with lightning, and intercepted the Lightning Release: False Darkness attack of the Lightning Release Masked Monster in mid-air.

Zabuza, wielding the Executioner's Blade, followed closely behind Kakashi, charging straight towards Kakuzu from another direction.

Meanwhile, Ao and Kisame joined forces to use Water Release to block the Wind Release and Fire Release combination ninjutsu that the other two masked monsters were using to attack Kurenai Yuhi.

And so the great war broke out.

Kakashi and his group besieged Kakuzu, while Chiyo and her group headed straight for Sasori of the Red Sand.

However, Sasori of the Red Sand attacked Obito Uchiha, who was trying to cross the battlefield, first.

The dense iron sand shot towards Obito Uchiha like a rain curtain, but Obito ignored it and it passed right through him.

Obito Uchiha leaped into the air.

boom!
The Third Kazekage, this puppet, was smashed to pieces by Obito Uchiha with a single punch, right before the shocked eyes of Granny Chiyo and the others.

Obito Uchiha, however, did not stop moving at all, ignoring the equally shocked Sasori of the Red Sand, and headed straight for Ginkaku.

rear.

The three masked monsters were stopped by Kisame and his group, but Kakashi charged straight at Kakuzu without any hindrance. He gathered lightning in his hand and pierced through Kakuzu's heart.

Storm Release: Lightning Blade!

With a single, successful strike, Kakuzu broke free from the illusion, his eyes wide open.

However, Kakashi did not withdraw his hand, but instead switched to attack mode.

In an instant, wooden thorns pierced through Kakuzu's body, blooming like thorny flowers, and also pierced through Kakuzu's other heart.

"you……"

Kakuzu was shocked.

The intelligence has been completely obtained by Konoha!

Kakashi withdrew his hand: "This is the price you have to pay for assassinating the Third Hokage."

Zabuza was a step too late. He looked at the other three masked monsters flying in the air and asked, "By the way, if we destroy his corpse, can he be resurrected?"

Kakashi looked up: "They probably won't give us a chance!"

Zabuza's gaze sharpened as he saw the Fire Release and Wind Release masked monsters combine in the sky and then unleash a combined ninjutsu.

However, the masked monster's gaze was not on Kakashi and him, nor on Ao and the others.

It's the ground.

Boom!

The wind fanned the flames, and the raging fire bombarded the ground. Accompanied by violent explosions, the rolling flames spread in all directions, covering the sky and the earth, forming a sea of ​​fire.

Not to mention Kakashi and his group, even Guy and Chiyo on the other side of the battlefield were affected.

Zabuza's expression changed: "Damn it, it's too late..."

The fire spread too quickly; he didn't have time to form hand seals and use a powerful enough water-style defense.

Kakashi, however, remained unmoved, and clasped his hands together, forming the Si Mudra.

Wood escape, wooden spindle wall!

The vines sprouted from the ground, forming a hemispherical defense that enveloped Kakashi and Zabuza.

boom!
The flames impacted and then ignited the wooden ingot wall.

Inside the wooden ingot wall, Zabuza swiftly formed hand seals, completing the ninjutsu before the wooden ingot wall collapsed.

Water Style - Water Array Pillar!
At the same time, Kakashi also completed his second ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Wall.

Two streams of water shot into the sky, blocking the raging flames the moment the wooden ingot wall crumbled, and the water vapor immediately rose up.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kisame, Ao, and Kurenai also used Water Release techniques for defense.

As the flames and moisture dissipated, Ringo Ameyuri's Lightning Release was ready.

Thunder Blade Technique: Falling Thunder!
Ringo Ameyuri crossed her twin swords and raised them high, sending lightning-attribute chakra soaring into the sky before transforming into streaks of lightning that crashed down upon the masked monster.

The Lightning Release masked monster was already preparing to burrow into Kakuzu's corpse and easily avoided the lightning strikes. However, the Wind and Fire masked monster, which had just used ninjutsu, was the main target and was struck by bolts of lightning, freezing in mid-air.

The next moment, Kisame leaped up and cleaved him in two with his greatsword Samehada.

The Wind and Fire Mask shattered!

On the other side, Kakashi casually flicked his wrist, sending a kunai at the lightning-style masked monster, but the monster dodged it.

But Kakashi's figure also disappeared immediately, appearing behind the masked monster. He twisted his body, raised his right hand, and a blue-purple lightning beam shot out from his hand, piercing through the lightning-style masked monster from behind.

Crack, bang!

The Lightning Release mask exploded.

Kakuzu, die!

……

Rewinding to before Kakashi and the others fought Kakuzu, the ice puppet clone swiftly reached the side of the Edo Tensei Third Kazekage.

Iron sand rain!

A dense barrage of iron sand rained down, but the ice golem clone charged forward without pausing, each iron sand piercing through its body, causing ripples in the water.

Through the Looking Glass!

Although it is an ice puppet clone, it can actually use any of the abilities of Genichi Shushita's main body.

Passing through the sand and iron rain, less than ten meters away, the ice puppet clone raised its right hand in a clenched fist.

Absolute zero!

Click!

The Third Kazekage, now reanimated, was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, and his ice puppet clones swept past him.

Seeing the Second Tsuchikage in the air use Dust Release, the Ice Puppet clone raised its hand and threw out an Ice Shuriken.

The Second Tsuchikage ignored the Ice Shuriken and used Dust Release to create a massive barrier that enveloped the Ice Puppet clone and a large area around it.

Then, with a loud bang, a huge crater appeared in the ground.

However, the ice puppet clone appeared in front of the Second Tsuchikage, grabbing an ice shuriken with its right hand and pressing its left hand against the Second Tsuchikage's face.

Absolute zero!

The Second Tsuchikage instantly turned into an ice sculpture, then fell from the sky, crashing into the ground with a loud thud, creating a crater.

"So fast!"

Obito Uchiha, who was following behind, exclaimed in surprise, then thought to himself, "Luckily I have Kamui. Although Genichi's speed is also very fast, he still can't attack me."

Kamui's penetrating ability is both active and passive.

After sealing away the Third Kazekage and the Second Tsuchikage, the ice puppet clone landed and looked at Ginkaku, who possessed the Rinnegan, but did not make any further moves.

"Genichi Shushita, so you did come in this way after all."

The voice of Madara Uchiha came from Ginkaku's mouth.

The ice puppet clone said calmly, "There's no other way; we have to be prepared for a surprise attack on Konoha."

Madara Uchiha said, "You're too dark!"

The ice golem clone said, "Likewise!"

Huang Tu shouted, "Lord Xuan Yi, I'm leaving this to you. I'm going to lead the team to stop Jin Jiao!"

The ice puppet clone nodded slightly: "Alright!"

Huang Tu thanked him, suppressing his grief over losing his father, and left with a group of Iwa ninja.

At that moment, Obito Uchiha also arrived.

Madara Uchiha turned his head: "Obito, he's awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. It looks like a pretty good eye."

Obito Uchiha snorted, "Madara, don't talk to me like that. I'm here to beat you up today."

Madara Uchiha looked at the ice puppet clone: ​​"Looks like your teaching wasn't very good." The ice puppet clone said to Obito Uchiha: "Obito, let him see your strength."

"Of course!"

Obito Uchiha roared, and the next moment, spacetime in front of him distorted, spreading towards Ginkaku. Then he opened his mouth and spat out flames that spread along the distorted spacetime, forming a terrifying spacetime flame storm.

Dancing in the storm!

Madara Uchiha, who was controlling Ginkaku, was slightly surprised. With a wave of his Susanoo, a storm of flames exploded.

But Obito Uchiha had already disappeared from the spot.

High in the sky, his Mangekyou Sharingan locked onto Ginkaku, who was enveloped by Susanoo. Space-time distorted, and he twisted off Ginkaku's neck, separating his body from his head.

As he landed, Obito Uchiha saw that Ginkaku's neck and head were rapidly regenerating.

"Tch, what a hassle!"

Obito Uchiha sneered.

"Space-time pupil technique..."

Madara Uchiha exclaimed in surprise, "Nice eyes."

Maybe we can snatch it next time.

Without further entanglement, Madara Uchiha lowered his guard, and then Ginkaku's figure also disappeared.

"Hey, where is the person?"

Obito Uchiha was preparing to use Susanoo when the enemy unexpectedly escaped.

The ice golem clone said, "They've already run away, no need to chase them."

He turned to look at Kakashi and the others.

Kakuzu was easily killed. Sasori of the Red Sand was first defeated by Obito Uchiha with a single punch, and then surrounded by Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters and Guy who had opened the Six Gates.

Even if the Hundred Machines Operation has a large number of people, it is still just a consumable.

Once Kakashi and the others were free, even the original body, which had been transformed into a puppet, was ultimately destroyed by Guy with a single punch.

The scorpion's core absorbed the puppet's parts and reassembled its body. Kai watched in surprise: "This guy, is he really indestructible?"

Kakashi noticed the key point: "That jar should be his weakness."

Kisame said, "It seems that even without a brain, he hasn't completely turned himself into a puppet."

Granny Chiyo said in a deep voice, "He has gone astray."

Sasori of the Red Sand said, "How could you people possibly understand the art of eternity?"

“Grandma, flesh decays, but puppets do not.”

"Although I have not yet fully succeeded, I am only one step away from achieving true eternity."

Ringo Ameyuri commented, "Has this girl gone mad?"

Suddenly, the many puppet parts scattered on the ground came to life, drawing everyone's attention.

Then, one by one, puppet parts flew up and assembled into a puppet. The puppet spoke: "Kakashi, remember to retrieve Kakuzu's corpse."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing the voice.

Matt Kai asked uncertainly, "Xuan Yi?"

The puppet responded, "It's me."

Granny Chiyo was horrified: "How...how did they do that?"

Sasori of the Red Sand stared intently at the puppet before him: "Genichi Jushita, you actually know puppetry?"

"how did you do it?"

Looking at Sasori of the Red Sand, Genichi Shushita said, "Sasori, your puppet is indeed very ingenious. It can retain its abilities while being transformed into a puppet. The Third Kazekage can be called a masterpiece."

"But it's still not quite there."

"If you want to completely get rid of your physical body and combine your spirit with the puppet, you first need to solve the problem of the source of chakra."

After only a brief explanation, Genichi Kinoshita said to Kakashi, "Scorpion will also be brought back to Konoha for research, um... to be researched together with the puppeteers from Sunagakure."

"Puppetry is not a good path, but getting rid of the limitations of controlling puppets with chakra threads is a good research direction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Genichi Kishita manipulated his puppet to make a grabbing motion towards Sasori of the Red Sand. Sasori of the Red Sand's puppet body immediately disintegrated, and the flesh and blood jar with the character "Scorpion" written on it flew up and landed in Genichi Kishita's hand.

After looking at it, Genichi casually tossed it to Kakashi, and then the puppet collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"He solved it so easily... He's truly mysterious and unpredictable!"

Kisame, holding Samehada, was deeply shaken.

Standing next to her, Ringo Ameyuri smiled, revealing her sharp teeth: "As expected of the strongest man in the ninja world, he exudes immense pressure."

Kisame said, "You should remove the word 'male' from your name."

Ringo Ameyuri declared, "I will become the strongest woman in the ninja world!"

……

Looking at Kakashi's situation, Obito Uchiha asked curiously, "Was that puppet you were controlling?"

The ice golem clone shook its head: "No, it's the real body."

"Original body?"

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened: "In...in the village?"

The ice puppet clone withdrew its gaze, and Huang Tu appeared with his men, along with the corpse of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

As expected, the Five-Tails was extracted by Madara Uchiha, who controlled Kinkaku.

One by one, the Iwa ninja looked at Onoki's corpse, falling into grief and silence.

The ice golem clone stared at Onoki's corpse.

He knew that an era was coming to an end!
When Sakumo Hatake and his group arrived at Takigakure, the village was already in chaos. The Seven-Tails had been released and was now under the control of the Rinnegan.

Madara Uchiha controlled the Fourth Mizukage and wielded the Seven-Tails; a single Tailed Beast Ball split Takigakure in two.

Even after being imprisoned by Edo Tensei, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, was still able to transform into a half-tailed beast, and no one could stop him.

Such power would be a catastrophic blow to Takigakure.

There's also Cloud Village.

When Jiraiya and the others arrived, half of the Hidden Cloud Village had already been reduced to ruins, and huge meteorites were falling from the sky.

Jiraiya and the others naturally didn't have time to pursue Madara Uchiha, who had taken away the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Instead, they acted as saviors, and under the guidance of Genichi's puppet clone under the tree, they disintegrated the falling meteorite.

When it was all over, Jiraiya and the others saw the body of the Fourth Raikage.

With no leader, the numerous Cloud Ninja were completely bewildered.

Madara Uchiha's attack came suddenly and was extremely fierce. Even though there were countermeasures in place, the enemy's strength was underestimated.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Jade Puppet clone and Jiraiya, the Cloud Ninja would have been forced to watch as Madara Uchiha's Heavenly Meteor obliterated the entire Cloud Village.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Xuan Yi?"

Tsuchida, a kekkei genkai ninja who possesses the Lava Release technique and has served as the right-hand man of the successive Raikage Nobushige, stepped forward.

"Tsuchikage, select a new Raikage as soon as possible."

The jade puppet clone said, "This is just the beginning."

Konoha had already shared information about the Eye of the Moon Project with Iwagakure and Kumogakure, but unfortunately, Konoha's intentions were obvious to everyone.

Therefore, Iwagakure and Kumogakure won't shed tears until they see the coffin.

Now that the Fourth Raikage has died in battle, Tsuchida could only say, "Lord Genichi, we will determine the Raikage as soon as possible, and then send an envoy to Konoha to discuss further alliances and cooperation."

The jade puppet clone remained noncommittal.

In the current situation, neither Iwagakure nor Kumogakure has any other choice.

They can either be wrapped up like dumplings and hung up, or they can choose to be gradually devoured by the leaves.

The choice is self-evident.

Konoha Hidden Village, Hokage's office.

Genichi under the tree withdrew his gaze: "It's over."

"The Five-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Eight-Tails have all been taken away by Madara Uchiha."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then asked, "Xuan Yi, do you think Madara Uchiha will attack the village again and seize the One-Tail and Nine-Tail?"

Genichi Shushita thought for a moment and then shook his head: "Probably not."

"If that's the case, Madara Uchiha will probably test the waters this time."

"Of course, there's still a possibility, so I won't leave the village easily next."

"However, if things go well, the village still has at least seven or eight years to develop."

Seven or eight years is roughly enough time to initially integrate the power of the five major ninja villages.

Minato Namikaze stood up and looked out the window, full of hope: "I hope we can get through this smoothly."

"Sure."

Genichi chuckled softly, then said, "Then I'll head back."

As soon as the words fell, the person disappeared.

Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly, "It's truly an enviable, leisurely life."

Sitting back down at his desk, Minato Namikaze smiled as he thought about the great undertaking he was about to undertake: "However, it feels quite nice to be busy."

The sense of accomplishment is incredibly satisfying!

Meanwhile, Genichi Shushita returned to his study at home, his mind returning to his room.

The spoils from this incredible feat haven't been fully tallied yet.

Besides Ice Release: Bloodline Limit and Magnetic Field Rotation, there has also been some progress in gene editing, although there are no significant results yet.

This also needs to be taken out of my head as soon as possible.

In addition, there is the development of a new eye technique that combines Yin and Yang, namely the strong force among the four basic forces.

The bloodline limit is not yet complete, but there have been some gains, which are quite gratifying.

Another point concerns the concept of becoming a celestial being, or more specifically, the issue of a human having only three eyes.

Genichi under the tree took a blank scroll and began to write furiously, putting all his future gains into the paper.

"I don't need to undergo human body modification, but I can learn from Orochimaru's modification of himself with the Eight-Headed Serpent."

Looking at the scroll he had just finished writing on, Genichi Shushita pondered to himself.

He didn't want to transform himself into something neither human nor ghost, but Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Serpent Technique was indeed a good source of inspiration.

This reminded Genichi Shushita of a supernatural power: three heads and six arms!

After thinking for a moment, Genichi Shushita put away the scroll and then focused his attention on the panel in his mind.

He is currently 20 years old and will turn 21 on November 17th this year.

It can be said that the benefits of the period of rapid growth and development have been exhausted.

This leads us to consider another issue: the 100-year advance payment option on the panel.

A 10-year advance payment has a 1-year cooling-off period, and a 100-year advance payment has a 10-year cooling-off period, with the cooling-off time calculated together.

For example, we can start cooling down for a year now, and then wait until March 18th, Konoha 57, to get a 10-year advance advantage.

如果要预支100年，那么就是从现在起间隔10年，即木叶66年3月18日开挂。

From this perspective, there is actually no difference in terms of time.

The difference is that one is 100 years spread out over time, while the other is 100 years in advance.

Genichi Shushita was actually very clear about this.

Putting everything else aside, if you plant trees, they will have absolutely no effect in 10 years.

It may take 100 years to reap the rewards of planting trees in the future.

Moreover, even 10 years is not enough time to develop the Bloodline Limit.

However, choosing the option to borrow 100 years from the future means you can't have any special abilities for the next 10 years.

"With my current strength, I'm more than capable of holding my own."

"Even if Madara Uchiha obtains the Six-Tails and becomes an incomplete Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, what do I have to fear?"

Xuan made up his mind under the tree.

You must try the taste of 100 years!
