Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 122 Why did it fly away again?!

Aoba took out three specially made sealing scrolls from his ninja tool pouch and threw them into the air.

The scroll is unrolled.

"untie."

The scroll exploded, and a massive amount of yellow sand poured down, like three yellow waterfalls hanging in the night sky.

Aoba formed hand seals again, and purple chakra erupted from his body.

"Quicksand waterfall!"

The sand that fell to the ground seemed to come alive, frantically devouring the surrounding gravel and expanding exponentially in size.

A sand wave tens of meters high rose from the ground, and this sand wave was far larger than any that Qingye had ever performed before.

It blotted out the sky, like a tsunami that devoured everything, and swept towards the ruins of the stronghold that had just been destroyed.

"What...what is this?"

A Sand Villager looked at the overwhelming sand waves before him, and his ninja sword fell to the ground.

Is this level of ninjutsu truly achievable by human power?

This is simply a natural disaster.

Faced with such power, any resistance is futile.

All they could do was desperately try to escape.

The sand dunes rolled and relentlessly swallowed up everything in their path.

Tents, supplies, puppets, and the ninjas who couldn't escape were all swept into the yellow torrent.

far away.

The Konoha squad that was on its way to provide support all stopped in their tracks.

Akimichi Maruten stared wide-eyed at the dust billowing in the distance and the ground tremors that could be felt even from several kilometers away.

"Look! What's that!"

In the Konoha tracking team, a ninja pointed at the sand wall rising on the distant horizon and gasped in horror.

"Is that level of ninjutsu really something a Chunin could pull off?"

One of the team members' voices trembled.

Akimichi Maru was also deeply shaken.

On the one hand, he was delighted that Konoha had produced another genius comparable to the Sannin, but on the other hand, he was worried about the decisions made by the higher-ups.

Why would Sarutobi Shinnosuke relegate such a powerful fighter to the sidelines?

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Full speed ahead!"

He roared.

The center of the battlefield.

Even after the sandstorm completely submerged the entire stronghold, Aoba's actions did not stop at all.

He landed on the ground and placed his hands on the ground.

"A grand funeral amidst the sand!"

Boom!

The area that had just been covered by sand waves suddenly collapsed downwards, forming a huge quicksand pit.

Countless Sand Village ninjas caught in the blast were crushed and buried before they could even utter a sound.

In the still of the night, only the sound of the wind remains.

Releasing three massive ninjutsu in succession, even with the replenishment speed of the Dragon Vein Chakra, left Aoba feeling fatigued, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

Just then, dozens of kunai and shuriken with explosive tags attached shot at him from all directions.

Rumble!

A sand shield automatically appeared in front of Qingye, blocking all the attacks.

Immediately afterwards, several orange-red fireballs roared in, the intense heat instantly melting a large hole in the sand shield.

It's Yekura.

Her figure appeared on a sand dune not far away.

She stared intently at Qingye, her voice hoarse with anger and confusion.

"Yamashiro Aoba! Why did you do this?!"

Aoba glanced at her expressionlessly.

"It's just war, why all the 'whys'? You attacked Konoha's command post, so it's only natural that I came to seek revenge, isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, figures appeared all around Qingye, surrounding him completely.

Those who can survive such ninjutsu are all elites of Sunagakure.

Aoba had anticipated this.

Wide-range ninjutsu is best for clearing out mobs, but it's unrealistic to expect to take down all the ninjas in one go.

His gaze swept across the crowd and quickly locked onto a man dressed as a puppeteer.

it's him.

The狰狞 ​​(zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face in Ueno-sensei's fragmented memories.

A smile finally appeared on Qingye's face, cold and cruel.

He took out a sealed scroll from his pocket and untied it.

Bang bang bang bang!

Five puppets of different shapes appeared around him.

Seeing this, all the Sand Village ninja were stunned.

It's one thing for a Konoha ninja to know their Sunagakure's sand control techniques, but how come he also knows puppetry?!

Yekura was utterly shocked.

Ignoring their astonishment, Aoba flicked out five solid chakra threads, precisely connecting them to the five puppets.

He formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Puppet Shadow Clone Technique!"

The next moment, all five puppets transformed into the likeness of Yamashiro Aoba in a cloud of smoke.

Aoba glanced around, finally fixing her gaze on Yecang, and asked softly, "Alright, I have a question. Can these shadow clones use that technique?"

As Aoba finished speaking.

The five "Aoba" simultaneously drew their short swords from their waists, the blades covered in a pale purple chakra light. They then transformed into five afterimages and charged towards the surrounding Sand Village ninjas.

"Watch out for the knife in his hand! Use ninjutsu to attack from a distance!"

Yekura, having witnessed the power of this ninjutsu, immediately shouted a warning.

The moment she spoke, Aoba's true form moved.

His figure was so fast that he left only a blur as he rushed straight toward Yecang.

Yecang gritted his teeth and unleashed several Scorching Release fireballs with both hands.

However, these fireballs were easily sliced ​​apart by Aoba's superb swordsmanship, turning into harmless heat.

"Damn it, not again!"

Yekura prepared to form hand seals and unleash a wide-range ninjutsu to force Aoba back.

But Aoba's figure suddenly disappeared from her sight.

That was a lightning-fast teleportation!

Ye Cang was terrified and instinctively tried to back away.

A cold voice rang in her ears.

"Yakura, I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to waste time with you right now."

At the same time as the sound came, a sharp pain came from my abdomen.

A short knife was already deeply embedded in her lower abdomen.

Ye Cang froze, looking down at the hilt of the knife embedded in her body, her expression filled with disbelief.

She lost so easily?

Before she could react, her body suddenly moved uncontrollably, and she threw a punch at Qingye, who was right in front of her.

Aoba dodged to the side and then drew his sword to retreat.

Yecang's body also used this force to quickly retreat to the side of an inconspicuous old man.

Several almost invisible chakra threads were connecting her limbs.

It is [Puppet Technique - Human Body and Teeth Skill].

Although it was the first time he had seen it in person, Aoba immediately recognized the old man's identity.

Chiyo's younger brother, Ebizo.

After all, those iconic eyebrows are just too distinctive.

The guards beside him immediately helped up the seriously injured Ye Cang.

Ebizo showed no intention of lingering in battle. He fired a signal flare into the air and decisively gave the order to retreat.

"withdraw!"

The ninjas who were entangled with Aoba's clones broke away from the battle and quickly retreated.

Aoba did not chase after him.

His goal has been singular from the very beginning.

Kill that puppeteer!

Amid the chaos of the retreat, Qingye's figure flashed and appeared in front of that person.

The puppeteer frantically manipulated his puppet to defend himself, but his puppet was as fragile as a toy in front of Aoba.

Aoba grabbed the puppet's extended mechanical blade with his bare hands, unleashing a burst of chakra and snapping it in two.

Then, gripping the broken blade, amidst the puppeteer's desperate screams, he plunged it deep into the wound in Ueno-sensei's chest.

puff.

The location is exactly the same as Ueno-sensei's fatal flaw.

By the time Konoha's reinforcements finally arrived, the battle was already over.

The battlefield was devastated, littered with wreckage and corpses.

And, the man covered in blood.

He stood before the gruesome corpse of a puppeteer, tortured beyond recognition, a blood-dripping weapon still clutched in his hand.

Akimichi Maru and his teammates looked at each other, unsure of how to react.

They came to provide support.

But now it seems the battle was long over.

Akimichi Maru felt a headache coming on and could only temporarily direct his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and gather intelligence.

Just then, Aoba moved.

He didn't even glance at the fellow village ninjas who had rushed over. The yellow sand beneath his feet surged, forming another sand cushion.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, he stepped onto the sand mat, slowly rose into the air, and flew away once again.

All that remained were the stunned Konoha villagers and a battlefield in complete disarray.

Akimichi Maruten was completely numb.

No?

Why did it fly away again?!

While Akimichi Maru and the others were still bewildered in the wind, that figure had already turned into a small black dot and completely blended into the pitch-black night.

Qingye did not turn around.

The sandbag descended slowly in mid-air and finally came to rest on the edge of the rocks at D13 base.

The campfire had long since died out, leaving only a pile of gray embers.

Instead of returning to the Konoha command post, he went back to this remote outpost.

He is not Peter Parker, nor will he become another White Fang of Konoha.

He had no interest in becoming a hero in the public eye, or receiving the tearful gratitude of survivors beside the corpses of his comrades.

This is the world of Naruto, where death is not the end. He will become the strongest when his teacher sees him again.

He was simply seeking revenge for Ueno-sensei. Since Ueno-sensei had gone to the Pure Land, he wanted to send more people down to accompany her.

Although the souls existing in the Pure Land have no memories, it does not affect Aoba's decision.

He walked straight back to the lonely tent.

Lifting the curtain, everything inside the tent remained exactly as it was.

Qingye removed the gourd and took off her coat, touching the rough, uneven area around her shoulders and neck.

The texture was like scales, and his judgment was actually correct.

It has grown lizard scales!

Although his [Covenant] mainly absorbed the chakra of the Dragon Vein, it was mixed with a little bit of the lizard clan's chakra, just like how Naruto could transform into a frog by using toad oil for training.

Aoba also underwent partial lizard transformation after absorbing the chakra of the lizard clan.

The lizard transformation is easy to solve; just summon the blue lizard again and absorb the chakra belonging to the lizard back into the lizard.

The problem is the side effect of using the Dragon Vein; my back has already become slightly petrified.

Fortunately, the chip analysis showed that it could be removed after 157 hours. However, during this period, sufficient chakra must be maintained, which means that Aoba cannot go all out for nearly a week, otherwise the natural energy will risk further erosion.
