Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 181 As long as there is a conflict of interest, war will never stop.

"Lord Aoba, I've brought back what you requested."

Ryoichi stepped forward, holding a sealing scroll in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Aoba.

"Well done."

Aoba nodded, took the scroll, and casually unsealed it.

With a soft bang, the white smoke dissipated, and a piece of withered bone exuding a musty smell appeared in Qingye's hand.

These are the remains of the Second Tsuchikage, Mu!

Everything is ready.

Aoba ignored the Sand Villager's struggle and slowly formed hand seals.

Yin, Si, Xu, Chen!

As the last seal fell, Qingye let out a low shout.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Buzz!

In an instant, the ritual array blazed with light, and countless dust particles and scraps of paper appeared out of thin air, as if drawn by some invisible force, and swept wildly toward the Sand Village ninja.

"Waaaaah—!!!"

The unfortunate Sand Villager let out a piercing scream as endless dust quickly covered his body.

A moment later, the eerie wind dissipated.

A man whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes showing, stood quietly in the center of the formation.

Second Tsuchikage – None!

Wu slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of gray-black pupils unique to those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

He lowered his head, looked at his cracked hands, and slowly clenched his fists, as if sensing the state of his body.

"Is this feeling... the Impure World Reincarnation?"

Wu's voice was low and hoarse.

Then, his self-light fell on Aoba, who was standing not far away.

When he saw Aoba's dark green Konoha Jonin vest and the Konoha headband on his forehead, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"A Konoha ninja?"

Wu chuckled coldly, his tone laced with mockery and sarcasm. "That bastard Tobirama Senju only invents a bunch of nonsensical techniques, making it impossible for people to rest in peace even after they've died. What, are the young people of Konoha these days even disturbing the peaceful dreams of the dead?"

"I am deeply sorry to have disturbed your peaceful rest."

Aoba wasn't angered by Mu's sarcasm. Instead, he bowed slightly and said in a gentle and polite tone, "Nice to meet you, Mu-senpai. My name is Yamashiro Aoba, and I'm a Jonin from Konoha Village."

"I am deeply sorry to disturb your peaceful rest in this way. Due to certain circumstances, I have some questions about the technique that I would like to ask my senior."

Wu squinted, looking the seemingly harmless young man up and down.

"You want to ask me a question?"

Wu seemed to have heard a joke. "Using such an evil ninjutsu to summon me back to the mortal world just to ask me questions? Why don't you go find that guy Tobirama Senju? He's the universally acknowledged master of ninjutsu in the ninja world. A large portion of Konoha's forbidden techniques were created by him, weren't they?"

Aoba shook his head and explained earnestly, "Tobirama-sama's mastery of forbidden techniques is indeed admirable, but my current research direction is not to develop forbidden techniques, but rather bloodline limits, or even higher-level bloodline elimination."

"In this regard, you are the true authority throughout the entire ninja world. After all, the fame of your 'Dust Release' still resonates throughout the ninja world to this day."

Upon hearing the words "Dust Escape," Wu's eyes instantly sharpened, and an invisible sense of pressure emanated from him.

The temperature inside the cave seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

Wu's gaze suddenly changed; his previously casual and teasing attitude was now filled with aggression.

"I see----"

Wu's voice deepened, "So, you've got your eye on [Dust Release]?!"

Dust Release is a bloodline limit ninjutsu that transcends bloodline limits.

That was the ninjutsu that the Second Tsuchikage Musou was most proud of.

This ultimate ninjutsu, formed by the fusion of earth, wind, and fire elements, can break down its target into molecular states, making it a ninjutsu that kills with a single blow.

This technique is a top-secret secret of the Land of Earth.

"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Wu's tone suddenly turned cold and hard. "Dust Release is Iwagakure's top secret. Even if I were dead, I would never hand it over to an outsider. If you're thinking of using this to extract the secret of Dust Release from me, don't even dream about it!"

Despite Wu's warning, Qingye remained calm and maintained her gentle smile.

He simply shook his head slightly, his tone remaining calm: "Senior Wu, I think you've misunderstood. I had no intention of stealing the Dust Escape Technique."

"No matter how powerful someone else's technique is, it's still theirs. What I need to do is develop my own bloodline elimination technique."

As she spoke, Qingye slowly extended her right hand, palm facing upward.

The next second, a surge of intense chakra rapidly condensed in his palm.

Glug glug—

Immediately afterwards, a mass of dark red, viscous magma appeared out of thin air in Qingye's palm, illuminating the dim underground cavern with a fiery red light. An astonishing heat wave swept out instantly, even distorting the surrounding air slightly from the heat.

"This is----"

Wu's pupils constricted sharply as he stared intently at the mass of magma in Qingye's palm. "Molten Release?!"

"That's right, it's Lava Release."

With a casual wave of his hand, Qingye sent the lava ball crashing onto a nearby rock wall, instantly melting the hard rock and creating a large crater with a hissing sound.

"To be honest, I developed this myself by collecting chakra samples from your village's Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, not long ago."

Aoba spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial, "So, I'm not here to steal Dust Release, but to develop my own Bloodline Limit. I need to learn from your approach of fusing three chakra nature transformations to perfect my own technique."

"You fought against Roshi? And you even deduced Lava Release from his chakra?!"

Wu was truly shocked this time.

As the Second Tsuchikage, he knew all too well the terror of the Tailed Beasts.

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to fight Mr. Rōshi twice, and I achieved good results both times. The second time, I even invited Mr. Rōshi back to Konoha as a guest."

Aoba spoke tactfully, but how could anyone not understand? He defeated the Jinchuriki twice, and even captured him the second time.

Wu's face turned somewhat dark.

Although I don't know how old Old Purple is now, he's definitely much older than this Konoha brat in front of me.

This boy, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, not only defeated and captured Roshi in a head-on confrontation, but also developed Lava Release by analyzing Roshi's chakra.

This talent is comparable to that bastard Tobirama Senju!

Although the quality of this impure body was very poor, far from being able to exert his strength in life, his perception ability was not limited.

He could clearly sense the immense amount of chakra contained within the young man before him.

That level of chakra, even in his era, would definitely be considered top-tier!

Combined with Aoba's excessively youthful appearance, Wu secretly gasped inwardly.

"Konoha has produced another extraordinary genius."

While marveling at the constant emergence of geniuses in the ninja world, Wu's vigilance not only didn't subside but intensified.

Such a monstrous genius ninja, not satisfied with mastering the bloodline limit, actually tried to touch the realm of bloodline elimination!

If he succeeds, it will be a huge threat to Iwagakure!

Thinking of this, Wu's eyes became more serious than ever before.

The scene from that year involuntarily surfaced in Wu's mind.

When the Five Great Ninja Villages were first established, he took Onoki, who was still a teenager, and went to Konoha with great sincerity to conclude a peace treaty. However, he was taught a lesson by a man named Uchiha Madara with absolute power.

From that moment on, he knew that relying on himself was better than relying on anyone else.

Even after developing Dust Release and gaining the confidence to deal with Susanoo, the sense of powerlessness and humiliation he felt at that time is still unforgettable.

Even after so many years, even now that he's dead, it's still etched in his memory.

Konoha will always be the greatest enemy of all other ninja villages!

Wu sighed inwardly, but at the same time, a strong sense of vigilance arose spontaneously.

The emergence of such a terrifying genius in Konoha is definitely not good news for Iwagakure.

Looking at Wu, whose body was wrapped in bandages, Aoba could not see Wu's expression, but with his keen observation skills and the help of the chip, he could roughly guess what Wu was thinking at this moment.

After all, the relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure has never been good since the village was founded.

Back then, Mu, along with Onoki who was just a little kid, excitedly went to Konoha to forge an alliance, only to be blocked at the door and mocked by Madara Uchiha, who wouldn't even let them into the village.

That one-sided crushing defeat not only traumatized Onoki, but also humiliated Mu, the Second Tsuchikage.

Anyone would hold this grudge for a lifetime.

Now that a junior from Konoha has come to him asking for information on bloodline limit elimination, it's no wonder he's not going to give him a friendly look.

"Senior, I fully understand your concerns."

Aoba said calmly, "You're afraid that after I research the Bloodline Elimination technique, I'll turn around and go after the Iwagakure ninjas, right?"

Wu snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but his attitude was already very clear.

"If that's the case, you can rest assured, I have no such intention."

Aoba walked to a nearby rock and sat down, his posture relaxed. "Because the entire ninja world is currently in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War. And I am the overall commander of Konoha's frontline against Sunagakure in the Land of Rivers, not in charge of the frontline against Iwagakure."

"The Third Shinobi World War?"

Wu paused for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "So it's been that long already—it seems that even after so many years, the struggle between the five great powers has not stopped."

"War will never stop as long as there is a conflict of interest."

Aoba said calmly, "However, it wasn't me who fought against Iwagakure. It was another genius ninja from our Konoha."

"Oh? Konoha has young people as outstanding as you?" Wu was somewhat surprised.

His name is Minato Namikaze.
