Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 284 Orochimaru: I really want to possess you!

"Interesting. So, you've mastered another special ninjutsu?"

Orochimaru licked his lips with his tongue.

This is a manifestation of his extreme excitement.

After a moment, Orochimaru composed himself and said, "Would you mind letting me see it?"

"Sure, but..."

"Well, just in case—"

Orochimaru went outside and said, "I'll use Rashomon again."

If it were the old Kyohiko, he might have dared to respond with something like "unkillable," but the current Kyohiko...

Both in terms of strength and life level, they seem to be undergoing an incredible leap.

He has not yet completed his research on immortality and eternal life. Even though he has mastered the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique, there are still limits to it.

What if it doesn't block it?

Therefore, Orochimaru dared not gamble.

The next second, he bit his lip until it bled.

Spirit Spell: Triple Rashomon!

"I stacked the three gates on top of each other. Although the effect of resisting chakra impacts will be weakened, it will increase the ability to deal with pure power."

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly. "Well then..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Jingyan raised his hand and slammed it against the door.

An ordinary punch.

but.

As they approached the gate, a sudden surge of chakra appeared, followed by—

boom!

One punch, combining superhuman strength with the technique of adding weight to rocks.

The triple Rashomon gate shattered and collapsed in an instant, disappearing before Orochimaru's eyes at a speed he hadn't even anticipated.

He blinked, a look of astonishment on his face.

After a long while, Orochimaru took a deep breath.

"If Onoki saw this, he would be ashamed and would bombard you with Dust Release all over the world afterward."

Weighting rock.

Kyohiko has thoroughly studied it. In fact, Orochimaru believes that Kyohiko's Weighted Rock Technique is now even more terrifying than Onoki's!

of course.

It wasn't that Onoki lacked skill, but rather that his physical condition limited his ability to perform at his best.

People are different.

At least, in Orochimaru's eyes, Kyohiko can no longer be described as a normal human being.

He couldn't help but laugh hoarsely, "Kyohiko-kun, sometimes I really want to take over your body. Your power is truly captivating!"

"Senior, if you really have such thoughts, I advise you to give them up as soon as possible, after all, you are no match for me."

Jingyan chuckled softly.

Orochimaru nodded in deep agreement.

because--

At this moment, Jingyan had not even activated Sage Mode.

As a researcher, Orochimaru never gave up his pursuit of Sage Mode. The more he studied it, the more he understood how powerful this force was.

Although they cannot live forever, they have transcended the realm of ordinary people.

If Kyohiko were to activate Sage Mode, even he would likely have a hard time surviving against Kyohiko.

What an incredible talent!

That's completely unreasonable!

Orochimaru was filled with mixed emotions. A few seconds later, his attention returned to what was in front of him, and his thoughts began to wander.

Jingyan demonstrated this thing to him...

It certainly wasn't for showing off.

What is this for?

He pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Do you want to improve this technique? Or do you want to modify it for other functions?"

"I want to modify the gravity barrier, but I don't have any clue how to do it yet, so I would like to ask for your advice."

Jingyan expressed his intention.

Orochimaru paused for a few seconds, then fell into deep thought.

Gravity barrier.

This idea...

He pondered for a long time, then said, "What's the use of this kind of barrier spell? If this spell is turned into a barrier, wouldn't its effectiveness be reduced many times over?"

"It's definitely useless in combat, but it might be useful in physical training."

Kyohiko replied.

He sighed and said, "If we could create chakra armor, that would be the best, but achieving that is incredibly difficult..."

Barriers are merely a transition.

The ultimate goal is to build a chakra armor with added weight.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment.

Developing such a barrier technique just to enhance the efficiency of taijutsu training for village ninjas seems a bit too extravagant.

but.

Soon, he thought of it—

For ordinary people, physical training can be done using the usual methods, but there is a different group of people.

A practitioner of the Eight Gates Formation!

Let alone Might Guy, who can open the seventh gate, even ordinary training methods can hardly provide much help.

They carried heavy sandbags every day.

Even so, it can't provide better training. After all, sandbags can only increase the load on a part of the body, and cannot make the whole body evenly heavy.

If it really works...

He pondered for a long time before saying, "It's easy to improve the Heavy Rock Barrier, but the learning difficulty won't decrease after the improvement. It's not as good as the Chakra Armor you mentioned."

but.

Even chakra armor cannot produce such precise effects.

Currently, the chakra armor abilities they possess are mostly amplification and enhancement effects of simple, basic ninjutsu.

Directly achieving the effect of a certain ninjutsu is basically impossible.

"Perhaps, we can use chakra armor to achieve the delayed solidification of ninjutsu."

Jingyan tried to think of improvement plans using the concept of skills.

It's difficult to directly create a chakra armor, so let's increase the duration of the ninjutsu to make it effective for longer.

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then pondered for a long time.

"Perhaps that's feasible!"

If only it could be done...

It's possible that Konoha could produce many more taijutsu masters, and their physical abilities would also influence the amount of chakra to some extent.

Orochimaru.

"This technology shouldn't be difficult, but it requires a constant supply of chakra to maintain. Wouldn't that make it somewhat impractical?"

"This is not difficult, you can leave it to me."

Jingyan smiled.

The current "Chakra Battery" is based on White Zetsu cells and an improved Yin Seal effect.

So.

This effect can be achieved simply by reducing the size of the outlet.

This ninjutsu must be performed once a day.

Both can be done together.

Upon realizing this, he immediately made a decision.

"Then let's get started!"

"That's easy. As long as you can handle it on your end, it can be done in half a day."

"it is good."

……

Konoha Office.

Tsunade, the two advisors, and Yahiko and Konan bargained, each fighting for the interests of their own village, with no one willing to back down.

but.

One point is a consensus between the two sides—

To the north of the Land of Rivers, we negotiated with the Land of Rivers to establish a peaceful three-nation ninja zone, where everyone would jointly manage and trade.

Since it was a three-way discussion, Luo Sha was soon invited over and joined the discussion.

Each of the three parties has its own version of events.

A deal like this cannot be discussed in just a day or two.

Yahiko didn't intend to resolve it in a day.

He sent Konan back to Amegakure to ask for Hanzo's opinion, while he himself stayed in Konoha to continue negotiations.

……

A few days ago, in the snowy land of the north.

Minato Namikaze, along with Yazawa and a group of researchers, was finally about to embark on their journey home by boat.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Snow...

On some snow-capped mountains in the vast snowfield, ice walls have appeared, blocking some of the cold north wind.

Behind the low hills, several greenhouses spread out along the outskirts of the city.

This area can benefit from the city's heating system and also from the mountain hot springs, which can greatly reduce energy consumption.

"Shikaku, Minato, you two, like Kyohiko, will always be friends of our Land of Snow. Please come and visit often!"

The wind, flowers, and early snow couldn't hide the reluctance in her voice.

Shikaku smiled and said, "Yes, after all, the greenhouses here in the Land of Snow are not completely finished yet, and they will need to be repaired and expanded later."

Currently, the greenhouses in Snow Country are only in pilot phases of about ten. The main purpose is not to make money or to scale up cultivation, but to attract investment.

Although the Land of Snow is covered in snow all year round, it is rich in resources and has many wealthy people.

As long as these wealthy people see the potential profits, expanding and scaling up the greenhouses will be a given, and all of this will generate income for Konoha.

"Haha, yes, yes!"

Fuuka Saya was naturally very pleased with what Shikaku had said.

The Land of Snow is a small country.

Maintaining good relations with the Land of Fire and Konoha is definitely beneficial.

"Lord Daimyo, we're boarding."

"it is good."

The wind, flowers, and early snow wave goodbye.

Only after the ship had left did he sigh, his feelings quite complex.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Konoha ninjas, he might have already been killed by his own brother, and his wife and daughters would all have been killed as well.

"I owe you a huge favor!"

……

"Minato, what kind of ninjutsu is that?"

"Wind Release: Spiral Blade".

Minato Namikaze smiled and extended his hand.

The next moment, chakra rapidly appeared, and wind blades spun in his palm like an electric fan.

This is his special Wind Release: Rasengan.

Even Earth Release ninjutsu, known for its defensive capabilities, or the Third Raikage, would be unable to withstand such a sharp cut.

Minato Namikaze looked into the distance, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.

"With this technique, even if we encounter the Third Raikage, I can fight him one-on-one."

The outcome is still uncertain, but Minato is confident he won't be at a disadvantage.

"This is the Rasengan? Judging from Kai's description, the one you used that day seemed to be the version with wind and fire..."

Kurenai asked curiously.

"Yes, the previous one was actually an immature version of the Wind Release: Rasengan. Once you fully master it, you won't need the help of flames anymore."

Minato dispersed his chakra, and the Rasengan gradually spread and collapsed.

"Kai fainted again?"

"yes!"

Kurenai Yuhi glanced back and sighed helplessly, "This girl is so athletic, but she gets seasick whenever she's on a boat, and she keeps insisting on running back to Konoha..."

"Hahaha."

Minato couldn't help but chuckle.

That's a surprisingly bad weakness.

"Minato, you should rest more. It will take some time to get back to Konoha from here. We'll have to pass through the seas of the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water."

Lu Jiu was somewhat worried.

Previously at sea, they had a clash with Abby and her duo from the Land of Lightning, and captured their Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

In the Land of Snow, they encountered Onoki's ANBU ninja.

Needless to say, the Land of Water is another story.

The conflict between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water has never been resolved since the beginning of the previous war.

Ultimately.

As long as Kirigakure remains under Madara Uchiha's control, the conflict between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water cannot be resolved.

The conflicts between the three kingdoms and them are escalating, and people are trembling with fear when passing through their waters.

and.

That area happens to be the sea area where the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village are relatively active.

Minato turned to look at the cabin, pondered for a moment, and said, "We can land in the Land of Waterfalls or the Land of Rice Fields."

"You mean, land in these two bays and send people directly to the border of the Land of Fire by land?"

Shikaku's eyes lit up.

That's an idea!

He quickly considered the situations of the two countries in his mind, and then said, "The Land of Fields is more suitable. It's closer to the northern border, and most importantly..."

"The Eight-Tails is over there!"

Shuimen answered the phone.

Shikaku nodded and said, "In addition, Wind Release ninjutsu can counter Lightning Release to some extent. All things considered, it would be more advantageous for us to clash with Kumogakure."

"It's settled then!"

Shikaku made the decision immediately.

Several days later, the ship followed its course and arrived at a bay outside Kitahenda.

They are entering the bay.

Suddenly.

A ship appears from the distant harbor.

The flag above was clearly—

Hidden Cloud Village!

"Watergate!"

Shikaku let out a surprised shout.

can.

Without his prompting, Minato Namikaze had already emerged from the cabin in an instant.

In the distance, the ship from Hidden Cloud Village drew ever closer.

He crouched down, his fingers probing the deck, and a few seconds later, Minato Namikaze frowned.

"There are quite a few."

"First, notify the northern border. There are quite a few ninja squads stationed there; they can quickly come to provide support..."

Shikaku quickly made a suggestion.

Minato nodded, took out a scroll, and quickly began writing.

In the blink of an eye, information about this place appeared on the paper.

He has probably pinpointed the spatial direction.

The next moment—

Flying Thunder God!

He sent the reel away directly, and then stood up, his face solemn.

"I sensed a powerful chakra from that direction; it's very likely that even the Third Raikage has arrived."

"That……"

"I'll go and meet him!"

In a flash, the water beneath Minato Namikaze seemed to solidify into a skateboard, swiftly carrying him toward a distant ship.

After a while.

From that ship, the figure of the Third Raikage appeared.

"Father, let me go!"

"Need not."

The Third Raikage raised his hand, then grinned, "Minato Namikaze is cautious by nature; he must have known I was here to come here on his own initiative."

"Was he trying to cover for the people behind him?"

"Um."

The Third Raikage nodded.

Then, he stretched his limbs and said, "Minato Namikaze's ninjutsu is not as destructive as Yoshimine Kyohiko's, so although he is fast, he does not pose a threat to me."

"If we can defeat Minato Namikaze, we can capture an entire ship's crew and use that to trade for Killer Bee!"

The Third Raikage.

"Then, why don't I just go directly..."

Ai thought so too.

but.

Before he could finish speaking, the Third Raikage's gaze swept over him like a knife.

Ai immediately stopped speaking.

The Third Raikage scoffed, "Your impulsiveness has already ruined Bi, do you want to ruin the entire Hidden Cloud Village as well?"

"Father..."

"Alright, I let you out here this time not to cause trouble. Stay put!"

After the Third Raikage finished speaking, he suddenly teleported away.

In the air, his entire body burst with lightning.
