Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 161 Who says you have to use ninjutsu to use genjutsu?

The green leaf in mid-air seized the opportunity and made a throwing motion.

Whoosh!

A ball the size of a basketball landed with perfect precision into King Mu's exaggeratedly large mouth.

Furthermore, an additional detonation tag is included on the surface of the sphere.

Aoba formed a hand seal with one hand and shouted, "Explode!"

boom!

A muffled explosion rang out from King Mu's mouth.

Given the Tailed Beast's monstrous defensive capabilities, even if a small explosive tag explodes in its mouth, it would at most feel like it's eaten a piece of popping candy, causing no real damage whatsoever.

But Aoba's goal was never to injure it.

As the explosion rang out, a cloud of multicolored smoke instantly billowed from the Five-Tails' mouth and nostrils.

"roar?"

King Mu shook his enormous head, seemingly somewhat dazed.

With a push of his feet, he instantly broke free from the earth snake's restraints and stood up again.

Qingye flew to King Mu's side on the sand mat, and the sand turned into two huge fists, which punched King Mu's head twice.

King Mu was completely stunned by Qingye's attack.

It swore it had never suffered more injustices in its entire life than it has today.

It angrily opened its huge mouth and lunged at Qingye, but Qingye nimbly dodged it all.

King Mu frantically pawed at the ground, then lowered his head and aimed the sharp horn, capable of shattering everything, at the green leaf in mid-air.

Judging from their posture, they're preparing to give Aoba the same treatment as Madara.

However, just as it was panting heavily, preparing to gather its strength for a charge, it had already completely inhaled the colorful smoke.

Seeing that the hatred had been largely drawn to him, Aoba turned around and flew towards Iwagakure without hesitation.

At the same time, he formed hand seals, and bursts of white smoke kept rising up, and more than a dozen non-physical phantom clones instantly scattered in all directions.

With a roar, the Five-Tails gave chase without hesitation.

During the pursuit, Aoba formed hand seals once again.

"Magic - This is not the place for magic!"

This is just a fairly basic C-level illusion, the effect of which is to cover what the eyes see with an illusionary layer, causing the target to have a visual illusion.

Under normal circumstances, this low-level genjutsu has no effect on tailed beasts with massive chakra reserves; the opponent can easily break through it with a simple surge of chakra.

But now, the situation is different.

The sphere we just saw didn't contain ordinary poison gas; it was secretions that Qingye collected from the old lizard in the swamp!

This thing was originally intended by Aoba to be used for researching natural energy, but now that he has the Grell Stone, it seems a bit useless. I didn't expect it to come in so useful today.

This secretion already has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and with the amplification of natural energy, even tailed beasts cannot be completely immune to its effects.

Now, as the illusion was cast, the hallucinogenic gas began to take effect, and the Five-Tailed King's originally tyrannical pupils began to lose focus and become unfocused.

In its field of vision, that despicable human was everywhere, making despicable gestures and mocking it.

"roar!!!"

The Five-Tails went completely berserk, with only one thought in its mind: to kill this despicable human!

Completely ignoring the surrounding terrain, it charged headlong into the front-line defenses of Iwagakure like a mad bulldozer!

Rumble!

Screams and explosions of detonating tags instantly filled the Rock Hidden Camp.

The Hidden Stone Village had set up quite a few traps on the front lines, and now the Five-Tails had stepped on them all, making King Koku, who was already trapped in the illusion, even more violent.

"Phew, all done."

Aoba landed on a high platform, looked at the Yan Yin camp in the distance where flames were soaring into the sky, and clapped her hands in satisfaction.

Just then, several figures were rushing towards them from a distance. The one in the lead could even fly, and it was none other than the somewhat exasperated Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Suddenly, a slightly disheveled figure appeared beside Aoba; it was Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's hair was a little messy, and his red coat had several holes in it, clearly indicating that he had suffered a lot in trying to hold off Onoki.

"No, the old Tsuchikage has gone berserk! We can't stop him! We have to retreat!"

Jiraiya said awkwardly, panting.

"Perfect timing, Jiraiya-sama!"

Aoba gave a thumbs up, then pointed towards the Iwagakure defense line, "Although the process deviated slightly, the established strategic objectives have been achieved."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then looked in the direction Aoba was pointing. When he saw a giant white beast rampaging across the Iwagakure defense line, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Uh—that's the Five-Tails?! What's its current situation?"

"Oh, I drugged it a bit, and now it's a little excited and putting on a disco performance for Iwagakure."

Aoba shrugged, looking completely innocent.

Jiraiya gasped, looking at Aoba as if he were a little monster.

Does this work? !

However, if we follow their established strategic goals, this approach would indeed be more effective.

How did this guy get into this mess? His crazy antics are impossible to guard against!

"What about Dai and the others?"

Jiraiya came to his senses and asked.

"Don't worry, my shadow clone has already led them away in advance. Uncle Dai's condition is a bit serious. He was forced to keep the seven gates open, which severely overtaxed him. His life was saved, but he definitely won't be able to provide any further support."

Jiraiya remained silent.

At this time, Onoki had also arrived nearby.

When he saw the Five-Tails dancing and frolicking in the distance within his own defensive line, his already gloomy face darkened even further.

"You brat from Konoha! How dare you—!!!"

Onoki's hair stood on end in fury, and he suddenly opened his arms wide. A blinding white light gathered in his palms, which was none other than the light of Dust Release!

However, Aoba didn't give him a chance to make a move at all.

"Grandpa Tsuchikage, I'm sorry to have bothered you. No need to see me off. Until we meet again!"

Aoba controlled the sand mat, waved to Onoki with a smile, and then flew away with a burst of speed.

"Bastard! Bastard!!!"

Onoki was trembling with anger in mid-air, wanting to chase after him but unable to.

Because there's a mess at home that needs cleaning up.

Just then, an Iwagakure ninja came running from a distance, his face filled with terror.

"Lord Tsuchikage! Something terrible has happened! The Five-Tails has gone out of control and is attacking indiscriminately within our defensive lines, causing heavy casualties!"

"puff--"

Onoki felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

One is already out of control, and we don't know what's going on with the other.

However, Ohnoki already had a bad feeling.

"Quickly send someone to check on Lao Zi."

This is an utter disgrace! This is absolutely the greatest disgrace in the history of Iwagakure!

"What are you all standing there for! Get the Sealing Team right now! Call the entire Sealing Team over there!!!"

Onoki's hysterical roar echoed for a long time across the desolate Gobi Desert.

Konoha Frontline Command.

When Aoba carried the unconscious Rōshi, the entire Konoha base was in an uproar, and the sealing team even placed several more layers of sealing techniques on Rōshi.

That's a tailed beast, a demonic beast that symbolizes natural disasters!

As for Matt Day, he was rushed to the medical team for emergency treatment.

When Aoba and Jiraiya returned, Might Guy was still not out of danger.

The Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden technique. Although Might Dai didn't open all eight gates, forcing himself to keep only seven gates open still caused significant damage to his body.

When the attending physician examined Dai's physical condition, he couldn't imagine what kind of will Dai had to persevere!

Just when the medical team was at a loss, Aoba took over Dai's treatment.

In less than half an hour, Dai's physical condition began to recover at an extremely rapid pace.

This situation completely stunned the medical ninja standing nearby.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

As a fellow medical ninja, Aoba's healing effects have already exceeded the scope of existing medical ninjutsu.

It completely disregards basic logic.

Actually, this was after the Qingye diluted the medicine; otherwise, Uncle Dai would have been restored to his peak condition on the spot.

That's right, Aoba used the life water that had been soaking the Grell Stone. Otherwise, given Might Guy's current condition, let alone whether he could recover, with about 70% of his muscles ruptured, even if he recovered, it would be a question of whether he could stand up again.

Although he was physically healed, he still had to recover mentally on his own, and Matt Day wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

Aoba, who had just lain down, was dragged to the command post by Jiraiya once again.

Konoha quickly obtained intelligence about the Iwagakure front. Iwagakure suffered heavy losses, with more than half of its fortifications destroyed. More importantly, while the number of dead was not large, many were seriously injured or missing limbs.

After all, if such a large tailed beast were charging at you, anyone with a normal brain would know to dodge, but whether you can actually dodge it is another matter entirely.

However, being able to survive the rampage of the tailed beasts is something they can brag about for a lifetime. As for Han's situation in the village afterward, the fact that he went from being a top fighter in the village to a wandering ninja shows that the aftereffects were still quite significant.

"Well done, Aoba!"

Jiraiya slapped Aoba on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "That old man Onoki is probably going to be so angry he'll lose ten years of his life!"

Aoba rubbed his shoulder, which had been slapped so hard, but his expression remained calm, because he knew that the important part was yet to come.

"However, now is not the time to be happy."

Jiraiya suppressed his smile, walked to the battle map, and pointed to the location of the Iwagakure defense line.

"The longer the tailed beast transformation lasts, the greater the damage to the Jinchuriki's body. In the short term, Iwagakure will not be able to use Jinchuriki as a strategic weapon again."

"With the Four-Tails as our trump card, Onoki will definitely be hesitant to act rashly. He might even demand negotiations to get the Four-Tails back, or send an elite team to rescue it."

"Now is the best time to adjust the defensive line."

Jiraiya glanced at everyone present and said, "Iwagakure will not launch an offensive in the short term, so we can take advantage of this window of opportunity to redeploy our forces."

Finally, his gaze fell on Aoba.

"Aoba, you will lead a squad of ninjas to the river defense line to intercept Sunagakure. I will coordinate the follow-up forces as soon as possible, and they will follow later."

"clear."

Qingye did not hesitate at all and stood up to accept the order.

He knew very well that he was now racing against time.

The Sunagakure army suddenly changed course from its northward march and headed towards the Land of Fire. If they were to break through the Land of Rivers' defenses and flood into the heart of the Land of Fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.

That very night, Aoba led thirty elite ninjas and set off.
