Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

The mountain tribe is a large clan.

The phrase "moonlight and swift wind" is a double entendre.

Then.

Danzo can confirm that the one with Inoichi is Chiba's true form.

of course.

This is also what Chiba revealed to Danzo—

If not, how would Danzo know where he was, and how would he have taken the bait?

Last time it was Mitokado's inflammation, and next time it will probably be when war breaks out.

Moonlight Gale sneaked into a corner next door to hide, secretly protecting the daimyo's safety, while Chiba closed his eyes outside to rest, quietly probing the mental state of each mountain clan member in the room.

He needs to know everyone here well enough.

in this way.

Only by using mental energy synchronization can we reduce further losses and unleash the strongest mental power.

Elsewhere, after Kakashi finished examining Sasuke and gave him a few words of advice, he came out of the house and leaned against the wall by the door, lost in thought.

Suddenly.

A series of footsteps echoed in the passageway.

Then, a figure appeared in the darkness. Kakashi immediately pushed up his headband and stared intently at the person.

This person appears to be a medical ninja, but in reality...

That familiar mental fluctuation.

Orochimaru!

"I am just a weak shadow clone. I only came here to say a few words to you."

Orochimaru looked at the ward, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Kakashi, it's a mistake to project your feelings for another person onto Sasuke. Sasuke isn't your partner; he has his own thoughts."

"Orochimaru, don't talk like you know him so well."

Kakashi coldly gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand, while gathering Lightning Release chakra in the other.

He can now use the unmarked Raikiri.

The cost is that the energy is gathered earlier and its power is weakened.

but.

Even the most advanced techniques, like hand seals, can be easily seen through when facing a master like Orochimaru.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sneer, "Kakashi, you're really arrogant. He's an avenger, and a rigid, sheltered training regimen isn't suitable for him."

"..."

"By the way, I think you should be more concerned about that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki than Sasuke. Heh, treating the Fourth Hokage's son as a Jinchuriki, stripping him of his identity and honor."

Orochimaru smiled sarcastically, "Konoha is still as ugly and repulsive as ever."

"The three generations of officials have their own considerations."

Kakashi said coldly.

Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly: "Yes, the old man is just going with the flow. He always criticizes himself so thoroughly that people can only call him weak."

"You don't need to sow discord."

Kakashi gripped his sword, ready to strike at any moment, but—

Just then, a loud roar came from outside.

follow closely.

"Ow!"

Another loud bang rang out.

This is?

Kakashi stood up instantly.

Tailed Beast Chakra!

correct.

This is the chakra aura of the One-Tailed Beast; he had seen it before in the desert.

"The Fourth Kazekage has teamed up with you?"

"Heh, isn't that obvious? Kakashi, your sense of smell has gotten a bit dulled since you left the Anbu."

As Orochimaru spoke, a sharp pain shot through his chest.

Kakashi's sword pierced his body, but as Orochimaru said, it was just a shadow clone, the difference being—

After the shadow clone shattered, a large snake with its body pierced was left behind at the scene.

……

"Chiba, over there?"

"No need to rush. The Third Daimyo has made very good arrangements. We just need to take care of what's in front of us. However, we must protect the Daimyo."

Chiba "entrusted" the matter.

Hai Yi was just putting on an act, but in reality, he had already secretly used mental communication to contact all his trusted subordinates.

Now all that's left is for Danzo to fall into the trap.

Not long after.

Chiba gave him a wink.

coming!

Danzo, leaning on his cane, quickly walked up from the bottom of Konoha's tower. Once up, he called out from outside the door, "Inoichi, Chiba, the Hokage is under attack from Sunagakure. Go and provide support immediately."

Yamanaka Inoichi and Chiba exchanged glances and then nodded.

The lords had made arrangements in advance.

If there is a real danger to his life, Genma and the others will not hesitate to send the daimyo back to the daimyo's residence using the Flying Thunder Formation.

Chiba walked out of the rest area.

The moment I stepped out—

He came into contact with Danzo's "Three Eyes".

Danzo had just used Kotoamatsukami and hadn't fully activated it when suddenly a spiritual force pierced his mind like a sharp knife.

In that instant, he completely lost the ability to think.

Before Danzo could recover, another mental attack blasted through his mental defenses and into his mind.

Danzo bled from all seven orifices and clutched his right eye in agony.

These types of attacks target the soul directly.

He found it difficult to concentrate, and because his mental energy had been pierced twice, he now had great difficulty even extracting chakra.

but.

Danzo knew that he had to save himself.

He accelerated the casting of the God of War.

Danzo saw nothing but blood.

He could only make out a human figure with great difficulty, but at this moment he couldn't care less about anything else—

Other gods.

bingo!

but.

After Danzo gained control of his opponent, he discovered that the opponent's spiritual power was as deep and terrifying as a lake, and for a time even Kotoamatsukami's control became extremely difficult.

Although it can be controlled, the actions taken when commands are given are extremely slow.

Immediately afterwards, he realized who he had controlled.

Haiyi in the mountains.

The head of the Yamanaka family.

Aside from Chiba, he was the strongest person here, so it wasn't too bad. The problem was...

What kind of technique is that?

Why do their mental energies seem to be linked together, and why is it that the one in control of mental energy is not Inoichi, but Yagyu Chiba, so Yamanaka Inoichi has no way to break free?

???

Danzo was completely bewildered and quickly realized that his plan to use Inoichi to backstab him was impossible.

He turned and ran.

Once you leave this building, you can seek help from others and ultimately turn the tide of the battle!

but.

Another thunderous roar echoed in his mind.

The intense pain made it difficult for Danzo to concentrate, and all his mental energy was scattered.

Even mental energy cannot be controlled...

What about chakra?

As for the Sharingan.

Danzo didn't think his ordinary illusions could counter such a terrifying mental connection; he feared his illusions would be dispelled before they even took effect.

Can--
