Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 79 Uchiha Nan: I'm going to slap Uzumaki Mito's face with banknotes!

"Kill them all!"

A mist of water swept in, blurring the vision—a standard ninjutsu used in Kirigakure operations.

Hozuki Gengetsu casually snapped the head off a lowly Iwagakure soldier, then pointed his other hand at the Iwagakure troops who came to intercept him. Behind him, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist all wore expressions of excitement.

Today is the day to make a name for myself and become famous throughout the ninja world! I'll slaughter them and their heads will roll!

Located overseas, Kirigakure has always maintained a closed policy towards the outside world and a high-pressure policy towards its own people. The methods for training ninjas are harsh and cruel. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are a group of bloodthirsty monsters, and today these monsters have all been unleashed.

"Hahaha, this time Iwagakure has no chance of escape!"

Hozuki Gengetsu grinned arrogantly. He didn't have much personal grudge against Konoha, and his attack on Konoha was more of a strategic consideration. He had an irreconcilable hatred for the Tsuchikage, and this time he could settle old scores.

"Kids, stop playing cat and mouse! Let's finish this quickly!"

Hozuki Gengetsu reminded the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of their old habits, and these unruly brats relapsed into their old ways: instead of quickly defeating their enemies, they chose to toy with them before killing them.

More and more Iwagakure troops are arriving here. We must clear a path and attack Iwagakure's rear as soon as possible. Once their rear is cut off, this Iwagakure force will be attacked from both sides by Kirigakure and Konoha, and will eventually be completely annihilated!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the Iwagakure squad quickly took out a signal flare from his backpack and fired it into the sky. As the signal flare was fired, a strange chakra wave spread out.

Not long had passed

Hozuki Gengetsu, who was still clearing out enemies, suddenly stopped. With his amazing senses, he sensed a chakra fluctuation that made his heart tremble. This level of chakra was simply monstrous.

"Bang bang bang"

Several massive magma projectiles rained down from the sky, scattering the Mist Shadow Squad that was following them.

Hozuki Gengetsu dodged the scattered, high-temperature magma and saw a small, red-haired ninja emanating chakra that seemed almost tangible.

Tailed Beast Jinchuriki?

Hozuki Gengetsu had only ever experienced this level of chakra in a tailed beast, yet Iwagakure had actually successfully developed a tailed beast jinchūriki.

In the past, there was only one village in the ninja world that had a Jinchuriki, and that was Konoha!

To seal a tailed beast into a human body, two conditions must be met: one is a container that can resist the tailed beast's backlash, and the other is a corresponding sealing technique.

The most crucial element is the sealing technique; otherwise, no matter how strong a person's physique is, it's all for naught. No matter how strong your physical body is, can it be stronger than a tailed beast?

Sealing techniques are complex and advanced ninjutsu, and very few people in the ninja world can master them now; they are mostly concentrated in the Uzumaki clan.

It was a real miscalculation to find a sealing technique master of this caliber in Iwagakure.

For the current ninja villages, the tailed beasts are like nuclear weapons. Using them once comes at a huge cost. Once the sealed tailed beasts are released, they will attack indiscriminately. The tailed beasts do not distinguish between friend and foe. In their eyes, all humans deserve to die.

Releasing the Tailed Beasts and then retrieving them is a huge problem. Who knows how many people would die trying to subdue a berserk Tailed Beast? It's best to avoid using such a powerful weapon as the Tailed Beasts if possible.

Kirigakure also received two tailed beasts from Konoha, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, but Hozuki Gengetsu didn't bring them with him!

If the seals on these dangerous creatures, the Tailed Beasts, are broken and they escape, then the mission can basically be declared a failure.

"Everyone back off! That brat is a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast!"

"Flaming Mountain!!"

"Molten Core."

Roshi was a lucky guy, an experimental subject of the Iwagakure Jinchuriki. It's unclear whether it was the Iwagakure's half-baked sealing technique that worked, or whether the Four-Tails Son Goku, being a monkey, had been sealed for too long and wanted to talk to someone. Seeing that Roshi looked like a monkey and had the same hair color as him, he obediently stayed inside Roshi's body.

Old Purple charged into the crowd of Hidden Mist Villagers and began his unstoppable mowing down of them. In Four-Tails Chakra Mode, his entire body was covered in magma; a mere graze would cause injury, and a single touch would mean certain death.

The young Rascal moved swiftly through the Hidden Mist Village, reaping the lives of the lowly foes. Several attacks from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were repelled by Rascal's chakra mode, which was filled with magma. Rascal was now like a humanoid molten lava; anyone who touched him would be burned to ashes.

Moreover, in this mode, even the old Murasaki Hara manga could withstand the Rasengan head-on, demonstrating astonishing defensive power.

"Damn it!"

Hozuki Gengetsu gritted his teeth. In this situation, Iwagakure was still able to pull out a Jinchuriki and turn the tide. If this dragged on any longer, the Tsuchikage Muichi would arrive, and the situation would be difficult to control.

"Step back behind me."

"I'll take care of this brat!"

Hozuki Gengetsu gave the order: scattering and dodging was no match for this brat, so he had to deal with him personally.

"Water Release: Water Gun!"

Hozuki Gengetsu starts with Water Release: to deal with fire-attribute attacks, you still need to use water!

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"."

Hozuki Gengetsu kept using his Water Release techniques, instantly turning the surrounding ground into a vast ocean. Under Hozuki Gengetsu's powerful Water Release attacks, thick smoke billowed from the magma chakra cloak on Rōshi's body, and the temperature emanating from his body began to decrease.

"It really works!"

Hozuki Gengetsu revealed a look of delight and prepared to increase his intensity, as he could see that the little devil in front of him seemed about to give up.

We must capture him alive!

We must capture this brat alive. If we can figure out the sealing techniques on him, we won't have to leave the two tailed beasts in Kirigakure gathering dust at home.

Old Purple, being short in stature, struggled incessantly in the water. The giant waves created by Hozuki Gengetsu's Water Release technique made him dizzy and caused him to choke on several mouthfuls of water, constantly depleting his strength.

"Earth Release: Super Lightweight Rock Technique!"

Old Zi, who was still struggling in the water, suddenly felt lighter and floated to the surface. A rock appeared under his feet, carrying him away from the attack range that could be described as a sea escape technique.

"Cough cough cough"

"Ohnoki thanked me."

Old Purple kept vomiting water from his stomach and thanked Onoki, who had come to his rescue. The earth-style ninjutsu he had just used was the Second Tsuchikage Mu's signature move. He hadn't expected the Tsuchikage to value him so much that he had even taught him this move.

"You're welcome, leave the rest to me!"

Onoki hovered in the air, gathering chakra in his hands, which manifested as a cone-shaped light.

Dust Escape?

Young Rōshi was surprised; even the Tsuchikage had learned this technique?

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

The cone-shaped beam of light instantly transformed into a cylinder, sweeping towards Hozuki Gengetsu. Wherever the white light touched, it was annihilated into atomic form.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Everyone scatter and take cover! Whatever you do, don't get attacked!"

Hozuki Gengetsu quickly dodged, his cold gaze fixed on Onoki, who was suspended high in the sky.

This short, stocky guy was able to use both Dust Release and Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique, so he must be the successor to the Tsuchikage Mu.

Hozuki Gengetsu dodged, but the Mist Ninja troops on his body weren't so lucky. Despite Hozuki Gengetsu's warning, quite a few unlucky ones were still attacked, with half of their bodies being sliced ​​off.

Kill them!

Hozuki Gengetsu had no intention of holding back. Both the short Jinchuriki and the diminutive Onoki were too dangerous, and there was probably no hope of capturing them alive.

"Hahahaha, Hozuki Gengetsu, you're getting worse and worse!"

Just as Hozuki Gengetsu was about to make a move, he heard a piercing mocking voice, which made his veins bulge. He knew from the voice that the Tsuchikage Mu had arrived.

The Tsuchikage, floating in the air, nodded in satisfaction at Onoki. He had not disappointed him; Onoki's strength was now sufficient to succeed him as the next Tsuchikage. He had entrusted all his skills to him, and all that remained was for him to hone his skills on the battlefield.

Clearly, after more than a month of attrition warfare, Onoki has grown rapidly and is now capable of standing on his own.

Seeing the somewhat disheveled Hozuki Gengetsu, Tsuchikage Mu immediately mocked him. It was a good thing that his nemesis had been beaten to a pulp by his own disciple.

"Hmph, even if you two attacked together, you wouldn't be a match for me!"

"Spiritualism!"

Hozuki Gengetsu bites his finger and uses a summoning technique to summon his summoning beast, the giant clam.

"Magical - Steaming Pavilion"

The moment the giant clam appeared, a large amount of smoke billowed out, and the water mist that had just been dispersed once again filled the entire battlefield.

"Get out of the way, all of you!"

"Run as far as you can!"

The Tsuchikage shouted, signaling the remaining Iwagakure members to retreat; this was no longer a battle they could get involved in.

Smoke filled the air, and everything before their eyes was not real, but a mirage. Their own ninjas would only be killed one by one in this area.

Onoki floated in the air, and the ground was shrouded in water vapor, making it impossible to see anything. People were moving about indistinctly.

"Master, what should we do?"

Tsuchikage sneered. He had fought Hozuki Gengetsu far too many times; why would he use this trick against him?

Although it's impossible to tell which of the people in the mist is the real one, it doesn't matter. Just destroy them all!

Dust Release is the most suitable ninjutsu for clearing obstacles on a large scale.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

Tsuchikage unleashed Dust Release, a cylindrical beam of white light, several meters in diameter, sweeping recklessly through the mist. Wherever it passed, the smoke dissipated, and everything around it vanished into nothingness.

Hozuki Gengetsu kept dodging, cursing Tsuchikage Mu a thousand times in his heart. Dust Release, such a shameless, large-scale destructive ninjutsu, should disappear from this world!

Steaming danger and violence!

Hozuki Gengetsu created a clone about the same size as himself, then became panting heavily. This move would deplete a lot of his stamina and could not be used lightly.

The clone leaped high into the air, quickly firing several water cannons to propel himself towards the airborne Tsuchikage.

"spread!"

The Tsuchikage, Mu, sensed something was wrong and immediately pushed Onoki and Rōshi away. In an instant, his clone exploded, the mixture of oil and water creating a large amount of high-temperature steam that burned Mu, who was a step too slow.

"Damn it, that old bastard Hozuki Gengetsu is still as insidious as ever."

Despite the searing pain from the intense steam, Tsuchikage Mugenya activated his sensory ninjutsu against Hozuki Gengetsu, searching for his whereabouts. At the same time, he instructed Onoki and Roshi to lead the Iwagakure troops to stay to the side. This time, he was determined to settle the score with Hozuki Gengetsu.

As the explosion subsided, hail began to fall from the sky. The clone, which was originally about the same height as Hozuki Gengetsu, rapidly shrank, preparing to build up for the next explosion. Its right hand, which had been separated from the clone, transformed into a scythe and charged towards the main force of Iwagakure.

The Earth Shadow can fly! The clones are so easily recognizable after shrinking. That move can only be used once!

We must find a way to lure Tsuchikage Mu down. Hozuki Gengetsu's clone quickly rushed to the vicinity of the Iwagakure troops. The shrunken clone was even faster than the original, catching up with the Iwagakure troops in just a few breaths.

It's another unstoppable mowing down of enemies!

The clone moved with unimpeded speed, leaving a trail of blood wherever it went. With each rapid impact, the clone began to grow larger, and the energy for the next explosion was about to be fully charged.

Even if it doesn't kill the Tsuchikage, it can still blast these Iwagakure people half to death!

Hozuki Gengetsu happily activated his killing mode, only to realize before he knew it that Tsuchikage Mu was flying towards him!

"Got you!"

Once Tsuchikage had pinpointed Hozuki Gengetsu's location, he rushed towards him at lightning speed. Hozuki Gengetsu was now severely exhausted and was definitely no match for him.

While hiding and fleeing, Hozuki Gengetsu summoned his clones to return at top speed.

"Still trying to run?"

"Just surrender obediently."

Tsuchikage increased his speed and decreased his altitude, constantly approaching Hozuki Gengetsu. White light condensed in his hand; this distance was enough to kill Hozuki Gengetsu.

In the end, I won this battle.

Tsuchikage was incredibly excited. He was the one who had caused him to become this grotesque creature, and now it was finally time for him to take revenge.

Hozuki Gengetsu looked back at the white light that was about to condense, realizing that his strength was about to give out and he was really going to die here this time.

Realizing there was no hope of escape, Hozuki Gengetsu hardened his heart, determined to take someone down with him even in death. He turned away and stopped running, using his remaining strength to fire two water bullets to buy some time.

Tsuchikage easily dodged the water bullet, and the light in his hand intensified.

"Not running anymore?"

"Are you ready to accept your fate?"

Looking at the panting and nearly exhausted Hozuki Gengetsu, Tsuchikage felt an immense sense of exhilaration. The thought of his nemesis dying at his hands made him tremble with excitement. What should I say at this moment?

This is an enemy I've been entangled with for most of my life, so I have to give an acceptance speech.

Tsuchikage paused for a few seconds, just about to say something, when he saw Hozuki Gengetsu reveal a sinister smile.

"Mummy, you think you've won?"

"Let's go to hell together!"

Tsuchikage Mu then realized that Hozuki Gengetsu's clone had arrived, and immediately put down the Dust Release technique he had almost fully charged, intending to increase the distance between them.

With his last bit of strength, Hozuki Gengetsu leaped and grabbed Tsuchikage Mu, who was three or four meters above the ground.

"boom"

A loud bang was heard, and the clone controlled by Hozuki Gengetsu exploded, the intense heat and steam instantly taking the lives of two people.

Two sworn enemies, who only hate each other and have no love for each other, join hands to go to the Yellow Springs!

The loud explosion attracted the attention of Kirigakure and Iwagakure, and both sides dispatched ninjas to rush over to investigate the situation.

The inevitable result was another fierce battle between the two sides, which continued until it attracted the attention of Konoha, forcing them to retreat.

As the First Shinobi World War drew to a close, all the Second Kage of the five great ninja villages perished.

Uchiha Nan, who was far away in Konoha Village, received the news that very day. Overjoyed, he immediately relayed the message to Nara Shikato.

At the same time, Konoha ninjas were dispatched to maintain order in the futures trading hall, to prevent those idiots who had lost so much money from smashing it up.

This damn war is finally going to end!

Thinking about the profits from this futures trade, Uchiha Nan felt a sense of satisfaction.

Mito Uzumaki has been giving me attitude for so long, this time I'm going to slap her face with money!
