I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

"As expected, it has become the fuse; the Third Shinobi World War is about to begin!"

Inside the office, Nono sat on the sofa and rubbed her temples helplessly.

Sitting next to him, Naraku crossed his arms and calmly said, "Isn't this something I expected?"

That's right, the Third Shinobi World War has begun.

Upon learning of the Third Kazekage's disappearance, Nono immediately instructed her intelligence team to closely monitor the changing situation in the ninja world.

Just recently, intelligence agents delivered an important piece of information.

The intelligence indicates that the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning launched a surprise attack on the Land of Wind from across the sea.

The Earth is round.

The same applies to the planet of ninjas.

The Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning are located almost at opposite ends of the land, but when viewed from the sea on the other side of the two countries, the distance between them is not as far as one might imagine.

Among the five great ninja villages, Kumogakure is renowned for its bravery and skill in battle.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage has clearly fueled the greed of Kumogakure, who want to take advantage of Sunagakure's loss of its leader and seize a piece of the Land of Wind.

As for whether the Land of Wind is fat or not.

Indeed, the Land of Wind is ecologically harsh, but as one of the five great nations, it is far from being poor.

While the desert's ecological environment certainly makes the Land of Wind lack water and agriculture, as the country with the largest land area in the Ninja World, the Land of Wind's deserts also hide unimaginable mineral resources.

Without mentioning the battle between Kumogakure and Sunagakure.

The surprise attack by Kumogakure on the Land of Wind clearly marked the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War.

This is precisely what makes Nonou helpless.

What Xingnin Village lacks most right now is time.

If the smoke of war were to reach the Land of Bears now, the current military strength of the Star Ninja Village would undoubtedly be insufficient to resist.

"Don't worry too much, I'm still here. If the war really spreads, I won't mind showing my face in the ninja world!"

Naraku noticed Nono's worry and immediately put his arm around her supple waist to comfort her.

Chapter 49 Breakthrough! Qi Refining Level 4!

"Well, but don't push yourself too hard. If it really doesn't work out, we can always find another place to live." Nono felt the warmth from the hand on her waist, and her furrowed brows relaxed.

“I know what I'm doing!” Naraku nodded slightly.

He is still confident in his abilities.

Hanzo was able to lead Amegakure to rise again during the Second Shinobi World War, so he was naturally confident that he could do the same.

However, he wouldn't refute Nono's concern.

Upon learning of the war between Kumogakure and Sunagakure, Nonou instructed her intelligence personnel to closely monitor the situation.

The Sand Village of today is not in a state where its military spending will be severely reduced by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind in the future.

Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has a similar number of ninjas as Kirigakure, but ranks lower. However, in terms of the quality of its ninjas, Sunagakure is known as an elite village.

Even with the loss of the Third Kazekage as their commander, Sunagakure quickly stabilized the situation in the face of the Cloud Village's surprise attack, thanks to the presence of veteran generals Chiyo and Ebizo.

Chiyo and Ebizo are the Kazekage advisors of Sunagakure.

After stabilizing the situation in the village, the two immediately mobilized their troops and engaged in fierce battles with the Cloud Village army led by the Third Raikage in the desert.

"Besides the older generation like Chiyo and Ebizo, Sunagakure also has many talented young people, among whom Rasa and Pakura are the most outstanding."

As Nonou continued to gather information about the battles between Sunagakure and Kumogakure, she frequently sought out Naraku to discuss them.

When commenting on the combat strength of Sunagakure, she specifically mentioned two people: Rasa and Pakura.

These two are among the best of the younger generation in Sunagakure, and both are also bloodline ninjas.

Rasa is skilled in magnetic escape.

Yekura has mastered the Scorching Release technique.

In terms of strength, the two are in no way inferior to older generation powerhouses like Chiyo and Ebizo.

Just like this war.

The commander-in-chief of Sunagakure on the front line was not Chiyo or Ebizo, but Rasa, with Pakura as his deputy.

The intelligence gathered allowed Nono and Naraku to obtain the battle situation immediately.

Although Rasa and Yekura are young, they performed admirably in the war against Kumogakure.

For example, Rasa, as the commander-in-chief, was mainly responsible for fighting against the Third Raikage, the commander of the Hidden Cloud Village side, during the war.

In their clash, Rasa was at a disadvantage throughout, but thanks to his home advantage in the desert, his Magnet Release technique successfully restrained the Third Raikage's movements.

The same goes for Yekura.

Her powerful Scorch Release technique makes her fighting style incredibly lethal.

Every time they went into battle, they inflicted heavy casualties on the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Given the current situation, if nothing changes in the Hidden Cloud Village, they will likely return empty-handed," Naraku concluded.

His assessment stemmed not only from his memories of his past life but also from his analysis of the overall situation in the ninja world.

With the war between Kumogakure and Sunagakure beginning, how could other forces possibly remain indifferent?

Backstabbing is something I'd never even consider.

After briefly analyzing the battle situation between Sunagakure and Kumogakure, Naraku stopped paying attention and left the follow-up actions to Nonou.

As long as the war doesn't reach the Land of Bears, he won't bother with it no matter how fierce the fighting gets.

The ninth floor of Xingying Tower.

Surrounded by numerous shadow clones of true energy, Naraku sat cross-legged in the center, adjusting his state in preparation for his upcoming breakthrough.

That's right.

While the battle between Sunagakure and Kumogakure was raging outside, Naraku paid attention, but he did not slacken his training because of it.

Half a month later, his cultivation level had successfully reached the perfect third level of Qi Refining.

"That's about enough, let's start the breakthrough!"

After an unknown amount of time, feeling that he had reached his peak condition, Naraku did not hesitate and immediately began his breakthrough.

He circulated the nameless technique, continuously compressing his true energy in his dantian until it reached its limit and then exploded.

boom! ! !

The intense true energy swept through his limbs and bones, causing Naraku's body to tremble slightly.

The invisible shackles of the realm were impacted by the true energy.

Compared to the previous breakthrough, the resistance this time has increased again, and the increase is far greater than before.

Naraku was not surprised by this situation; he had anticipated it.

This breakthrough from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level represents a leap from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage.

The bottleneck between the two is much larger than that of a normal minor realm.

"No, the spiritual energy in this world is far too thin."

The significant increase in the bottleneck made Naraku feel powerless when he tried to break through.

His heart was awe-inspiring.

In a normal cultivation world, given the extraordinary nature of Wuming's cultivation technique, even if his spiritual root was only of the low grade, the bottleneck between the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining would not be a challenge at all.

However, in today's Naruto world, there is clearly a problem.

The reason lies in the scarcity of spiritual energy.

If the spiritual energy is abundant, then Naraku could absorb a large amount of spiritual energy during his breakthrough to propel the continuous surge of true energy.

Now, with the spiritual energy so scarce, the amount of spiritual energy he can absorb is extremely limited, which makes him seem weak when trying to break through the bottleneck.

"untie!"

Without hesitation, Naraku immediately dismissed the ten True Qi Shadow Clones waiting beside him as soon as he realized how difficult this breakthrough was.

These ten shadow clones had already pushed their spiritual energy to its limit.

At this moment, with the release, the spiritual energy from breathing immediately returned to Naraku's body.

The circulation of true qi and the refinement of spiritual power immediately aided the breakthrough that was struggling to maintain its momentum, allowing it to launch an attack with greater force.

It is clear that Naraku was well prepared for this breakthrough.

Although his innate environment was limited, he made up for the lack of spiritual energy through his acquired preparations.

Moreover, the True Qi Shadow Clone Technique is only one of the preparations.

On the floor in front of Naraku, there were nearly twenty spiritual herbs laid out.

These medicinal herbs were all found using the [Spirit Detection Compass] over the past two weeks.
