Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 170 Beiliuhu Base, Jingdun

Bei Liu was panting heavily, clutching his chest, a look of pain on his face.

To prevent the Flying Thunder God Technique from remaining effective for a short period, he swam around the sea with the shark several times. However...

It took a long time before we finally got ashore from the sea.

Although it was safe, as time went on, the deterioration of his chest became more and more obvious.

Oni-Garuda...

It still has flaws!

"Fortunately, my third choice was a bloodline limit that strengthens the body. If it were a ninjutsu-type bloodline limit, I might already be dead."

Guiya Luo endured the pain and reflected.

What should I choose for the fourth bloodline limit?

constitution?

If it's a physical type, the best choice is undoubtedly the Corpse Bone Pulse, which can complement one's Steel Release and might even lead to stronger fusion and transformation.

If it's ninjutsu...

They either need to be fast or able to absorb chakra.

The former could save his life, while the latter could enhance him. He sat on the shark, pondering how to become stronger.

Today's events served as a wake-up call for him.

He considered himself very strong, but even after fusing three bloodline limits, he was still no match for Kyohiko.

but.

Once I absorb the fourth bloodline limit, even Yoshimine Kyohiko will no longer be able to surpass me...

If someone is stronger than him, then choose another person and complete the fusion of the fifth bloodline limit first!

According to his plan, the five bloodline limits should be able to achieve a second qualitative change, at which point they will definitely be even more powerful.

"Humans have limits, but Guiya Luo's growth has no limits."

"Hmph, Yoshimine Kyohiko, I'll kill you after I absorb my fifth bloodline limit!"

"As for the present situation..."

Hiruko returned to his base with difficulty, took out needles and thread, and used the medical ninjutsu of his shadow clones to treat himself.

He confirmed Guiya Luo's potential for growth.

But at the same time.

The side effects of the third absorption also alarmed him.

The fourth time must be approached with extreme caution, and thorough preparations must be made in advance, otherwise, if an even more severe side effect occurs, it will be disastrous.

Beiliu Hu was pondering this.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of chakra filled the space, startling him—

That familiar chakra.

Yoshimine Kyohiko?

How is that possible!

I had clearly broken free, yet the Flying Thunder God Technique had not dissipated after all this time.

Great!

After figuring it out, Hiruko released the chakra within his body.

Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall Without End!

In an instant, thick layers of ice appeared around Hiruko. These ice layers were as solid as rocks, and inside the rocks was an extra layer of space.

Hiruko forms a mudra with both hands inside.

Storm Release: Thundercloud Wave!

Moisture gathered, and dark clouds covered the sky.

Within the not-so-spacious space, thunderclouds rolled, and bolts of lightning struck the surroundings in a chaotic manner.

His goal was not to kill the enemy, but to destroy everything inside the cave.

He has already fully mastered Guiya Luo, so he doesn't need these written materials. Keeping them would only benefit the people of Konoha.

but.

At this moment, Kyohiko has transformed into three different people, each occupying a different position.

Immediately afterwards, the main body, the clone, and the three formed hand seals, and a barrier spell was spread out beneath their feet.

After releasing Storm Release, Hiruko was about to use a Summoning Jutsu—

His summoned beasts are mostly synthetic beasts like the ones he used before. They are quite powerful, and summoning them into the cave can create more chaos, preparing for his escape.

however.

The next moment, he was horrified to discover that the psychic spell had failed!

How could that be?

Hiruko was initially shocked, then quickly looked around at the barrier spells.

It's them!

The barrier blocked the channeling technique.

boom!

Thunder roared, shaking the surroundings.

He's going to shatter the barrier!

but.

call out!

The next instant, all those bolts of lightning vanished without a trace.

Everything in the center of the three figures was sent away.

The Flying Thunder Formation Technique!

Jingyan's lips curled into a slight smile: "The effect is good!"

The Flying Thunder Formation technique he is currently using incorporates Minato Namikaze's understanding and ideas, building upon his own "proficient" level.

and so.

Its proficiency has reached the "master" level.

This level...

Combined with a barrier spell, everything in the center of the three people can be teleported there directly.

of course.

To achieve this level, the user must have a sufficient understanding of space-time ninjutsu; in other words—

To reach Kyohiko's level, one must also master the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Otherwise, they'd be only slightly better than the original trio.

but.

The effect is remarkable.

The Flying Thunder Array, combined with the barrier, can directly teleport everything in the middle away, so it still has considerable practical value.

Right now, what Kyohiko needs to do is to sweep through Hiruko's base, seal up all usable books and materials, and bring them back.

As for Beiliuhu.

On the other side of the Flying Thunder Formation was Minato Namikaze, who had already deployed his sealing technique.

……

Teleportation via Flying Thunder Array.

Spacetime was distorted, and Bei Liuhu felt panicked.

None of his abilities could rival the Flying Thunder God Technique. In fact, at this very moment, he had no idea what awaited him on the other side of the Flying Thunder Array.

Hope is a blade!

He prayed in his heart.

However, once the space stabilized, he sensed an immense crisis.

This is a sealing technique!

Got it!

Once he's hit by the spell, he'll have no chance to turn the tide.

Hiruko's skin hardened, and his chakra formed a thundercloud, but it was useless. At this moment, he was surrounded by a dense array of sealing techniques.

and.

Minato Namikaze's speed is incredibly fast.

Even if he didn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique under his feet, with Minato Namikaze's Instantaneous Movement Speed, he could approach Hiruko in an instant.

In an instant, his shadow clone was already beside Beiliuhu, the Five Elements flowing in his hand.

Five Elements Seal!

Bang!

The chakra flowed into his body, instantly disrupting the flow of chakra within him and causing Hiruko's chakra to become chaotic.

Whoosh!

The original Storm Release technique instantly transformed into Water Release.

This is the result of chakra disorder.

At the same time, through contact, Minato Namikaze gained a general understanding of Hiruko's situation.

really.

As Kyohiko said, he has at least one type of bloodline limit that is a physical constitution, and its effect should be to enhance defense.

So...

Sealing techniques are the best solution.

Hiruko has learned sealing techniques and can completely resist the release by using the method of unsealing, but the key right now is not to unseal, but to escape as soon as possible!

Before he could even make a move, another layer of seal was placed on Minato Namikaze's shadow clone.

Limbs sealed again!

His limbs instantly became heavy, and his strength was sealed away.

hateful!

Bei Liuhu was extremely anxious.

Without a doubt, the person before me is a master of sealing techniques, and is also proficient in Flying Thunder God Technique and Body Flicker Technique.

If this continues, and we wait until Yoshimine Kyohiko arrives, he will be no match for him.

however.

Minato Namikaze had made prior preparations, setting up numerous traps all around him. Now that they were all coming at him, he had no way to break free in a short time.

Even with a burst of chakra, it couldn't stop the surrounding techniques from closing in.

Before long, the Four Symbols Seal was successfully completed!

A sealing technique appeared on Hiruko's body, sealing most of his chakra and leaving only a small portion.

With his chakra sealed, his Steel Release was also greatly limited, and its effectiveness was not as great as before.

At that moment, Minato Namikaze's fingers moved like lightning—

He even learned acupressure techniques!

Although they couldn't remember as many acupressure techniques and locations as the Kyohiko and Hyuga clans, they did remember the basic major acupressure points.

Bang bang bang!

With four fingers, Hiruko's remaining chakra was also severed.

A deep sense of despair was evident in his eyes.

Acupressure sealing!

How could this happen?

Isn't it an ability of the Hyuga clan?

Why does this guy named Minato Namikaze know it too? And when did the Flying Thunder God Technique become so common?!

"What a formidable opponent."

"Fortunately, you are not wary of us, otherwise it would have been very difficult to catch you."

Minato Namikaze let out a sigh of relief.

He was located on a small island in the Land of Waves, very close to Hiruko.

Beiliuhu almost vomited blood upon hearing this.

For ordinary people, such words might be a compliment, after all, the opponent was the "Yellow Flash" who had shone brightly in the previous war.

but.

Hiruko also had his own pride.

Thinking about how he had painstakingly worked for over a decade to finally develop the Ghost Sprout, only to be so easily defeated...

He was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

This extreme emotion was also influenced by Oni-Garaku.

"Even if I die, I will..."

Bilu roared and made a final effort.

however.

Layer upon layer of sealing techniques gave him no chance. Thinking of what would happen to him if he were captured and taken back, despair appeared in his eyes.

He spat out blood, his body hunched over, and as the blood flowed out, a surge of chakra erupted from his heart.

"We can't let you be captured alive!"

Subsequently, blood gushed from Beiluhu's chest.

Minato Namikaze had a bad feeling. Just as he was about to step forward, he sensed a strange creature emerging at Hiruko's feet.

It resembles a dog, yet also has a hint of a human face, making it extremely eerie.

Minato Namikaze instantly moved forward.

but.

In an instant, the opponent had devoured Beiruhu, and then—

boom!

A raging inferno engulfed the surroundings, while rolling thunder reverberated and intertwined within.

The entire island shattered, and the base beneath it collapsed completely, with the corners of the island scattered and broken.

Explosions rang out one after another underground.

Hiruko's summoning jutsu failed, but it still awakened the hidden ninja beast.

Down below, Jingyan had finished organizing most of the documents and books, but he could still faintly hear some voices and was following the sound into the passageway.

Immediately afterwards, a roar came from the earth.

What's going on?

Jingyan sensed it briefly and immediately understood the situation.

The person above has self-destructed!

He immediately formed hand seals, and logs grew out one by one, supporting the entire passageway and cave. Then he created shadow clones to accelerate forward.

A moment later, Kyohiko's clone arrived inside.

This is a cave with an opening at the top. Both the upper and lower exits are separated by iron fences, and more than a dozen people are being held inside.

The wailing was coming from inside.

Jing Yan's shadow clone broke through the fence and rushed inside.

"Konoha ninja? Konoha lords, save me!!"

Seeing someone approaching, they immediately rushed over in a chaotic manner.

"stop!"

Kyohiko immediately threw out a shuriken.

After stopping them, he formed a hand seal, and immediately logs grew, supporting the top and bottom of the cave and forming a wooden roof in the middle.

The situation in the cave has stabilized.

Then, the main body and the shadow clone rushed in one after another.

"Come to the middle!"

Jingyan remained calm.

These dozen or so people, some of them look like bloodline limit ninjas, while others look more like ordinary people, but in any case, we have to rescue them right now!

The dozen or so people swallowed hard, and then gathered in the middle.

Soon, the surgical technique was completed.

A few seconds later, the dozen or so people in the middle were quickly evacuated by the flying lightning array, and then a wave of seawater rushed in—

As the waves spread through the breach created by the explosion above, seawater gradually rushed in.

Kara!

The wooden top broke.

Jing Yanying's clones merged back into one, and he himself immediately disappeared from the spot.

The island above.

Minato Namikaze was wondering why Kyohiko hadn't arrived yet when he noticed a group of people appearing around him. Fortunately, he was standing on a rocky outcrop.

Although there were waves, they were strong enough to keep them upright.

These people are...

The people captured by Beilu Hu?

Minato Namikaze understood immediately, and then cursed Hiruko in his heart.

Can be imagined.

Countless people died at the hands of Biljuk, and only a small fraction were rescued.

The next moment, Kyohiko appeared.

"How is it?"

"The area below has completely collapsed, and it's not very safe here either. Let's move them out first."

Jingyan's gaze swept over the dozen or so people.

Some of them were clearly mentally unstable and appeared dazed, while only a few remained rational and clear-headed.

I just recognized him as being from Konoha...

It turned out to be a woman.

A flicker of surprise crossed Jingyan's eyes, then he asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Mami. Thank you for your help. I have been sealed and cursed, and I cannot use chakra."

The woman did retain some sense.

As she spoke, she revealed her abdomen.

Minato Namikaze glanced at it, then immediately formed hand seals and gathered chakra.

Following closely behind...

The woman's eyes immediately lit up with surprise as she pressed her finger on it.

"Get them out of here; it's dangerous. We'll talk about the rest later."

"yes!"

Mami was overjoyed, and her face was filled with gratitude.

She seemed to be quite influential among the prisoners, and quickly organized them to run towards safety, with Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze protecting them one in front and one behind.

They didn't stop until they reached the other side of the island.

Mami bowed to them gratefully.

"Thank you for saving me!"

"Where are you a ninja from? How were you captured?"

Jingyan asked.

Mami gave a bitter smile, her face revealing resentment and bitterness.

"My family used to be wandering ninjas. Later, we settled on the border of the Land of Rice Fields, and then we encountered that beast..."

"My poor husband died a long time ago because of his Crystal Release bloodline limit. If I hadn't been worried about my daughter, I probably would have committed suicide too."

As she spoke, her voice filled with deep concern, "I hid my daughter before, and I don't know if she's still alive."

Crystal escape?

Jingyan paused for a moment, then quickly understood.

Near the Land of Fields, Crystal Release.

Could her daughter be Guren, who will later serve under Orochimaru?

Jingyan was secretly surprised.

If it's Crimson Lotus, then...

Asami continued speaking.

From him, Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze learned the general situation.

These people, like her, all had family members who were bloodline limit ninjas. Those who possessed bloodline limits were all dead, while they...

Without the arrival of Kyohiko and Minato, they would have become experimental subjects sooner or later.

Unfortunately, most of the others were in a daze, and even those who were somewhat lucid had confused memories and could not explain their family situation clearly, requiring Mami to fill in the gaps.

In the end, even Kyohiko and Minato only knew the general outline—

He had been to all five great kingdoms of Beiliuhu and captured experimental subjects from all over the country, making it extremely difficult to find out where they lived.

"Kyohiko, what should we do?"

Minato Namikaze felt a pang of pity.

These people are so pitiful!

"Let's take them back first. With the help of treatment and the mountain tribe, they might be able to get back to normal."
