Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Chapter 274 The Chunin Exams are over, time to make our move! War declared against the ninja world!

"asshole!"

Raikage A was tightly bound by vines, their sharp thorns piercing through his lightning defenses and greedily draining his chakra.

Soon, Raikage A's chakra was completely devoured, making it impossible for him to maintain the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

He was extremely weak, but he still refused to give up struggling. As he struggled desperately, he shouted, "Does Konoha intend to continue to provoke war?!"

"Hokage-sama!" Huang Tu cried out, "Please cherish this hard-won peace and do not make wrong decisions that plunge the ninja world back into war! It's not too late to stop now!"

Kazekage Rasa, however, seemed to realize something. He stopped struggling and stared at Tsunade, asking, "Were the people from Konoha who attacked Elders Chiyo and Ebizo? I heard the Fourth Hokage was involved too. Now it seems that it was your Konoha that revived him using the Second Hokage's forbidden technique? And Gaara's injuries—did you deliberately leave Gaara in Konoha?"

"Oh, you're quite clever." Yagami Yoruichi turned to look at Rasa and teased, "I thought you weren't very bright, but I didn't expect you to be the first to react."

It must be said that although Luo Sha was despicable and insidious, he was also not a qualified father.

But he has an exceptionally sharp political mind.

The instant Yagami Yoruichi made his move, he connected the many doubts from before and deduced the truth.

“I have a question,” Rasa asked. “Isn’t Konoha considering the consequences of doing this? If it were just Sunagakure, it would be one thing, as Sunagakure is indeed no match for Konoha. But to attack the three great ninja villages at the same time… and Kirigakure, who left beforehand, must have had their activities in the Land of Water discovered by them. What gives Konoha the confidence to wage war against all four great ninja villages simultaneously? Even if you have Wood Release masters, you can only handle one side of the battlefield at most, right? What will you use to defend the other three sides?”

The secret about Yagami Yoruichi's 'Wood Release' is no longer a secret.

When the village of Kumogakure was first captured, there were rumors in the ninja world. However, as one of the conditions for 'returning the Raikage', the village of Kumogakure never explicitly claimed that the Wood Release ninjas came from Konoha and kept quiet about it.

However, a few months ago, after the incident involving the demons in the Land of Demons, the participants in the Hidden Village of Iwagakure did not keep it a secret for Yoruichi Yagami, and spread the news of the 'Wood Release ninja appearing in the world' throughout the ninja world.

Villages such as Sunagakure Village also knew of Yagami Yoruichi's strength.

But Rosa just couldn't understand it.

If Konoha's confidence comes from Yoruichi Yagami, then no matter how strong Yoruichi is, she is only one person. The best strategy would be to target only one ninja village at a time.

Why attack the four major ninja villages at the same time?

Aren't you afraid of triggering an attack by the four great ninja villages, leaving Yagami Yoruichi unable to cover his tracks, and causing Konoha to suffer heavy losses?

Or does Konoha have an even stronger trump card?

Yagami Yoruichi did not answer Rasa's question, but simply said, "If Sunagakure is willing to surrender unconditionally and be incorporated into Konoha, I can answer your question."

"Surrender? To be annexed by Konoha?" Rasa's eyes widened, immediately realizing what Yagami Yoruichi was planning: "You want to unify the ninja world?!"

Upon hearing Luo Sha's words, Huang Tu and Ai widened their eyes in disbelief.

The ninja world has always been divided. The word 'unification' was something Madara Uchiha often talked about decades ago, but it was stopped by Hashirama Senju.

Apart from that, no one else had ever thought of unifying the entire ninja world.

In the common understanding that everyone should accept, the ninja world should be divided into two factions.

They couldn't imagine what it would be like if the entire ninja world were unified into a superpower.

"Don't even think about it! The Cloud Ninja would rather die than admit defeat!" Raikage Ai shouted in a fit of impotent rage.

"Don't worry, it's easy to die. I'll grant your wish." Yagami Yoruichi spoke calmly, then activated the vines to gag the group, no longer bothering with their words.

Tsunade looked at Yoruichi Yagami and asked, "Shall we make our move now?"

"No need to rush, give them some time," Yagami Yoruichi said. "First, arrest all the members from each of the ninja villages in Konoha, and send one person from each village back to deliver the declaration of war. Give them enough time to mobilize their forces, and then resolve all the problems in one battle!"

This war is to completely destroy the other ninja villages.

At the same time, it is also an opportunity to collect Hextech Shards on a large scale.

Yagami Yoruichi created numerous clones that traveled to various parts of Konoha, capturing all the ninja teams from all the villages stationed there.

Tsunade, on the other hand, went to convene a meeting of Jonin to announce the decision to wage war.

……

After the Chunin Exams concluded, Konoha took drastic action, capturing two Kage and the participating teams and their leaders from various ninja villages in Konoha. This news quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

Many small ninja villages were gripped by fear.

The other four major ninja villages were extremely indignant and vowed to make Konoha pay the price.

Even the Mist Village, which had just lost its Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, urgently elected Mei Terumi as the Fifth Mizukage to lead the village in preparing for war and vowing to retaliate against Konoha.

At that very moment, Yagami Yoruichi quietly arrived at the underground space where Black Zetsu had been captured.

A large number of White Zetsu are sleeping here.

"These White Zetsu..."

Yagami Yoru switched to Otsutsuki Urashiki's Rinnegan and attempted to use its power to communicate with the God Tree.

The sacred tree gave off a faint sound, but there was no clear feedback.

This half-dead divine tree, which had been dead for countless years and whose roots were the only remaining remnants, had no vitality left and was naturally unable to respond to Yagami Yoruichi's Rinnegan.

"It seems unlikely that controlling the White Zetsu through the Divine Tree is possible."

Yagami Yoruichi's gaze swept over the densely packed white Zetsu in the underground space, and he felt a slight disappointment.

Besides the two goals of unifying the ninja world and farming system rewards, this war has an even greater objective.

They wanted to take advantage of the chaos and turmoil in the ninja world to see if Otsutsuki Isshiki, who had been hidden in the ninja world for thousands of years, would be unable to resist showing his face.

As long as she can catch even the slightest clue, Yoruichi Yagami can track down the culprit and completely eliminate this threat.

However, to accomplish this, an incredibly large surveillance network is required.

It would be very difficult to achieve this using only Yagami Yoruichi's clones' perception.

After all, Otsutsuki Isshiki was living inside the body of a native ninja in a 'parasitic' manner.

As long as he doesn't actively reveal his chakra, Yagami Yoruichi's senses won't be able to identify 'Jigen' from among the countless ordinary people in the ninja world.

As for sending people from Konoha or the Land of Fire to search for them one by one, that would be too much of a commotion and would easily be noticed by Isshiki Otsutsuki, who would then hide.

This old fox, who had been hiding in the ninja world for over a thousand years, was so cautious that even Black Zetsu was unaware of his existence.

It's almost impossible to find them using normal search methods.

Yagami Yoruichi wanted to control the White Zetsu and use its abilities to secretly investigate and find the whereabouts of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

However, this attempt to control the White Zetsu ended in failure.

"Do we really need to revive the true Divine Tree?" Yagami Yoruichi pondered, somewhat hesitant.

The resurrection of the Ten-Tails means that there is a considerable probability that Kaguya Otsutsuki will break free of her seal and descend upon the ninja world.

Yagami Yoruichi is not afraid of Otsutsuki Kaguya.

However, she does have extremely powerful stats, and even if her combat intelligence is a bit low and she can't unleash her full strength, defeating this opponent won't be so easy.

The battle between the two might cause enormous damage to the ninja world.

Just like a thousand years ago, the great battle between the Sage of Six Paths brothers and Kaguya Otsutsuki turned most of the ninja world into a wasteland.

Now, only a small portion of this planet remains habitable, which is now the Ninja World.

Beyond the core area of ​​the ninja world, that vast region is a barren wasteland devoid of any life.

Yoruichi Yagami did not want the last remaining land in the ninja world to be destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

"There's another way to monitor the entire ninja world..."

Yagami Yoruichi raised her head and looked up at the sky.

It was daytime, so the moon was not visible.

However, Yagami Yoruichi could faintly sense an aura resonating with her from a place far below the horizon, far away from the ninja world.

To be precise, it was the bloodline belonging to Urashiki Otsutsuki, which Yagami Yoruichi had stolen, that resonated with him.

That's the aura of the 'Otsutsuki clan'.

"Let's go to the moon and take a look. With my current strength, flying there shouldn't be any problem."

Yagami Yoruichi created a clone, which quickly flew towards the distant horizon.

A few hours later, it got dark.

Upon receiving news that her clone had arrived on the lunar surface, Yagami Yoruichi immediately used the clone as a coordinate to initiate a teleportation and arrived on the moon.

"It's so desolate, but there's actually an atmosphere. Even ordinary people could survive here."

Yagami Yoruichi immediately realized that the moon in this world was different from the moon in her previous life.

This is a planet where life can survive.

Although it's a bit desolate, it has all the elements necessary for life to survive.

It's no wonder that the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura chose to live on the moon.

Close your eyes and activate [the life force].

However, this huge space was empty, with only a young boy and a group of puppets living there.

"Otsutsuki Toneri? His bloodline purity is indeed very high. He's only about thirteen or fourteen years old, right? His chakra reserves are stronger than those of a typical Kage. I don't know his combat strength, but it's definitely no less than that of a Kage."

As Yagami Yoruichi assessed Otsutsuki Toneri's talent, she couldn't help but marvel.

This is just a 'half-blooded Otsutsuki,' not a pure-blooded one, yet it possesses such powerful talent.

The true Otsutsuki clan in the universe are probably born at the Kage level and have strength approaching the Six Paths level when they grow up.

After thinking for a while, Yagami Yoruichi shook her head to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts and sent them to Otsutsuki Toneri's side.

"The Frozen Tomb!"

A massive ice pillar rose up, sealing Otsutsuki Toneri within it.

He lived alone on the moon, never expecting an enemy to suddenly appear, and was completely unprepared.

In addition, there is a huge gap in strength between the two.

Under Yagami Yoruichi's sneak attack, Otsutsuki Toneri was sealed away before he could react.

"Let me see where the giant Tenseigan is..."

Yagami Yoruichi raised his hand and pressed it against Otsutsuki Toneri's head through the ice pillar, allowing Yin Release chakra to seep into his mind.

The secret technique of reading memories, similar to that of the Yamanaka clan, is frighteningly difficult for ordinary ninjas, but it is easy for someone like Yoruichi Yagami to do.

Yoruichi Yagami doesn't even need to use the Rinnegan's 'Human Path' ability; she can easily read the target's memories simply by relying on her Yin-Yang Release skills.

In Otsutsuki Toneri's memory, Yagami Yoruichi saw the scene where he, led by his father, went to Earth and unilaterally made a 'marriage agreement' with Hinata Hyuga.

Then, on the moon, the Otsutsuki clan's branch family rebelled, gathering a large number of Byakugan to create a giant Tenseigan, slaughtering the main family. Apart from Otsutsuki Toneri, all the remaining branch family members also offered their Byakugan and chakra, voluntarily choosing to 'sacrifice' themselves, just to make the giant Tenseigan even stronger.

Furthermore, before his death, Otsutsuki Toneri's father instructed him to destroy the 'failed world' created by the Sage of Six Paths.

In just a few minutes, Yagami Yoruichi read through all of Otsutsuki Toneri's memories.

It has to be said that Otsutsuki Toneri was a complete otaku.

Aside from a trip to Earth with his father when Hinata Hinata was three years old, he had never left this castle.

All daily tasks, such as maintaining the castle and the giant Tenseigan, are accomplished by manipulating puppets.

He wouldn't even step out of his bedroom unless absolutely necessary.

For over a decade, Toneri Otsutsuki's sphere of activity was smaller than that of a three- or four-year-old child in Konoha.

It's rare to see someone staying home to this extent.

This also has an advantage: he has very little information in his memory, which allows Yoruichi Yagami to easily search for the information she wants.

"Found it." After Yagami Yoruichi finished searching, he withdrew his chakra, and his figure disappeared instantly, reappearing in a secret room.

"This is the giant Tenseigan?" Yagami Yoruichi looked at the huge stone sphere in front of her. Through the 'bloodline resonance' of the Otsutsuki clan, Yagami Yoruichi could sense the powerful ocular power within the stone sphere.

"Blind eyes!"

Yagami Yoru switched to his Byakugan, attempting to resonate with the power within the giant Tenseigan.

But soon, a powerful suction force appeared within the giant Tenseigan, attempting to absorb Yagami Yoruichi's chakra.

Yagami Yoru's expression changed instantly, and he immediately severed the connection with the giant Tenseigan.

"It seems that not all Byakugan can resonate with the giant Tenseigan. Does it have to be the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki Hamura lineage?"

The information about that movie flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind, and he immediately thought of a suitable candidate. He glanced at the giant Tenseigan and teleported back to Konoha.
