Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 256 [Farewell to the Gods]

The sky was completely dyed a chilling dark red.

The densely packed magma fists, like doomsday meteors, trailed long, blazing tails as they pierced through the thick clouds.

The Cloud Village members all stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky in horror.

"What...what is that thing?" A Cloud Village Jonin's voice trembled, his palms, gripping his ninja sword, were covered in cold sweat.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

Lei Ying Ai whirled around, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared deafeningly, "Retreat! Everyone retreat immediately! Get out of here as fast as you can!"

However, his order came a step too late.

Boom boom boom————

The earth trembled violently as lava meteors crashed onto the ground, scalding lava scattering everywhere and turning everything in its path to scorched earth.

Before a Cloud Village Chunin could even scream, he was struck head-on by a magma meteor and instantly engulfed in crimson flames.

The earth trembled, and the air burned.

In the blink of an eye, the once relatively flat wasteland had been transformed into a living hell.

"asshole!"

Raikage A's eyes widened in horror as he watched helplessly as his subordinates struggled and screamed in the lava before turning into charred remains.

His heart was bleeding, and the anger within him was almost burning away his reason.

But he knew that now was definitely not the time to confront Konoha head-on.

One, two, three —

The sky seemed to have been ripped open, creating a rift leading to hell, from which endless lava poured down.

The entire land was ablaze, the pungent smell of sulfur assaulting everyone's nostrils, and billowing black smoke shrouded the battlefield in a living hell.

"Retreat! Cover the wounded and retreat immediately!"

Raikage A grabbed the injured Killer Bee beside him, unleashing his Lightning Release chakra to its maximum, transforming into a streak of blue lightning as he retreated rapidly.

Meanwhile, on Konoha's side of the battlefield, there was a deathly silence.

All the Konoha ninjas, including Uchiha Shisui, stared in disbelief at the earth-shattering scene before them.

They knew that Lord Aoba was strong, but no one expected him to be this strong!

Is this really a ninjutsu that humans can perform?

As the Cloud Village troops fled in disarray like stray dogs, cheers erupted from the Konoha camp.

Qingye, who was standing at the front, simply retracted her arms. Her arms, which had turned into magma, solidified again in a very short time and returned to their normal appearance.

Qingye flexed his fingers, looked in the direction Yunyin had retreated, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"This power is not bad—"

Several days later.

Inside the commander-in-chief's tent at the Konoha front-line command post.

Aoba leaned back comfortably in his chair, holding a top-secret intelligence report that had just arrived from Konoha Village.

The intelligence was sent by Tsunade through special channels, and it was accompanied by a small scroll.

The intelligence was fascinating; it was practically a grand spectacle.

Danzo was officially suspended from his position as an advisor by the Third Hokage, and the Root organization was completely sealed off for investigation.

After learning the truth about "White Fang's suicide," Kakashi single-handedly stormed the Root base, turning Root upside down.

However, the Third Hokage arrived in time to stop him, and when the Third Hokage left, he also took away the Wood Release ninja that Danzo had been hiding for a long time.

"Heh, that old dog Danzo is probably going to be furious this time~"

Aoba stroked his chin, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Finally, there was that small scroll, which was the [Yin Seal]!

"I didn't expect Tsunade to actually not slack off this time."

Looking at the scroll, Aoba couldn't help but click her tongue. "So I was the one in the way, huh—"

The Yin Seal was originally perfected by Tsunade during her wanderings, but due to Aoba's intervention, she returned to Konoha ahead of schedule.

She also resurrected her beloved and completely cured her hemophobia.

Before leaving Konoha, Aoba was working with Tsunade and Dan to develop the Yin Seal. However, due to the situation in Kumogakure, Aoba had to leave early.

Surprisingly, the research progressed even faster after he left, and everything was successful!

It seems that maintaining youth has an irresistible allure for women of any age.

"Scan and input the chip."

Aoba issued the command in her mind.

[Ding! Scanning in progress — Scan complete]

[The new technique has been entered into the database and is currently being analyzed.]

Hearing the notification sound from the chip in his mind, Aoba put away the scroll with satisfaction.

at the same time.

Deep within the Roots underground base of Konoha Village.

boom!

Danzo Shimura slammed his cane to the ground, his face so dark it seemed like it could drip water.

"Hiruzen! You senile old fool!"

Danzo gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently.

Kakashi, that brat, trespassed into Root and injured so many of his subordinates. Instead of punishing him severely, Hiruzen took the opportunity to search Root and took away the Wood Release ninjas that he had been hiding for so long!

What he found even more unacceptable was that Hiruzen had placed him under house arrest and ordered the disbandment of his Root organization!

"Everything I've done is for Konoha!"

Danzo's breathing became rapid, and resentment and bitterness grew wildly within him. "If I were the Hokage—if I were the Hokage, none of this would have happened!"

As for the so-called "Root intelligence" circulating in the underworld, Danzo didn't care about it at all.

In his view, everything he did was for the prosperity of Konoha! Those sacrifices were merely a necessary price to pay!

It doesn't matter if those foolish people don't understand.

As long as he becomes Hokage, all doubts and accusations will vanish!

What other assassination masters are there?

Danzo chuckled.

That good-for-nothing Daming, killing him is enough, why did we need to plan it?

It's clear that someone deliberately framed and slandered them.

That old fool Hiruzen actually believed such nonsense and even stopped all of Root's operations because of it.

ridiculous.

However, Danzo was not one to sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Danzo sneered and turned to ask.

"Are all those things ready?"

"Lord Danzo, everything is ready. All the clues and evidence regarding human experimentation have pointed perfectly to Orochimaru's laboratory."

A Root ninja emerged from the shadows and knelt on one knee to report to his superior.

"very good."

A ruthless glint flashed in Danzo's eyes. "Send this evidence to the Anbu without leaving a trace. Hiruzen likes to investigate, doesn't he? Then let him investigate his most prized disciple!"

Several days later.

Outside a hidden underground facility in Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by a squad of fully armed ANBU, stood solemnly before a heavy iron gate.

Orochimaru————

The third generation closed their eyes in anguish, as if they had aged ten years in an instant.

He took a deep breath and suddenly pushed open the heavy iron door.

The dimly lit laboratory was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and jars of formaldehyde containing organs.

In the center of the laboratory, Orochimaru stood with his back to them, holding a test tube, seemingly conducting some kind of experiment.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Orochimaru did not appear panicked.

He slowly turned around, his golden vertical pupils, like those of a venomous snake, gleaming with an unfathomable light.

He stuck out his long tongue and washed his face, a strange smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you've finally arrived."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and calm, as if he had expected all of this.

In contrast to the undercurrents within Konoha, Aoba's performance on the front lines was like a hurricane, completely sweeping across the entire ninja world.

He faced off against two opponents head-on, confronting the combined forces of the Fourth Raikage A and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee.

It wasn't a draw, it was a complete victory, and they even almost sealed the Eight-Tails!

Finally, he used a Lava Release ninjutsu that was like a natural disaster, directly breaking the Cloud Village's battle line and forcing the Raikage to order a retreat!

This achievement caused an uproar throughout the ninja world!

It's worth noting that even the Yellow Flash only managed a draw against Abby's team back then, as both of them possessed the fastest speed in the ninja world.

Even though the Raikage admitted that the Yellow Flash was faster than him, he had Killer Bee (the Eight-Tails) to help him, so the two were evenly matched.

Now, Yamashiro Aoba has defeated the "Abby Duo" head-on.

In an instant, information about Yamashiro Aoba spread like wildfire underground, updating previous intelligence: his bizarre immortality, his lightning release, and his ridiculously powerful lava release.

Upon seeing the intelligence report, Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, crushed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

In Sunagakure, Granny Chiyo remained silent for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh.

All the high-ranking officials in the ninja villages were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

What exactly is Konoha, this blessed land?!

How can there be so many geniuses?

Yamashiro Aoba's growth trajectory is terrifying. His previous defeat of the Kazekage can be considered a trick, since it wasn't the Kazekage's home ground.

But the Abby duo is incredibly strong; no other ninja village can guarantee a win against them!

Furthermore, Yamashiro Aoba is still very young. Could it be that Konoha is about to produce another ninja god?!

Under Aoba's terrifying intimidation, the once arrogant and domineering Cloud Hidden Army instantly became obedient.

Not only did they refrain from launching any further provocations, they also proactively tightened their defenses and adopted an absolute defensive strategy, even reducing the patrol area by more than half.

A rare period of calm has arrived at the front lines.

Inside the medical tent at the Konoha camp.

Aoba stood before Uchiha Shisui, his right index and middle fingers joined together, the tips glowing with a gentle green chakra light—

Mang gently pressed on the right eye socket of Zhishui.

Shisui sat quietly in the chair with his eyes closed, letting Aoba examine him.

A moment later, the green light at Qingye's fingertips slowly dissipated, and he withdrew his hand.

"The retinal nerves are damaged, and the flow of chakra in the eye meridians has become stagnant."

Aoba picked up a towel and wiped her hands, speaking in a calm tone.

"You've used the kaleidoscope eye technique! Your right eye's vision is already starting to blur."

Shisui was already used to Aoba-sama being able to see through his Mangekyou Sharingan at a glance, and even understand its side effects.

It seems that there are no secrets that can be hidden in front of Lord Aoba.

"Yes, Lord Aoba."

Shisui nodded and readily admitted, "A few days ago, while on a reconnaissance mission, our team was ambushed by elite Cloud Village troops. In order to save my comrades, I had no choice but to use the eye technique of my right eye."

"But please rest assured, I did it very discreetly, and no one discovered it."

Looking at Shisui's serious face, Aoba sighed helplessly.

"Don't you think it's a huge waste to use your precious eye power on a few Cloud Village grunts?"

Shisui paused for a moment, then gave a gentle smile.

"As long as it protects our comrades, there's no such thing as wasting anything."

Okay, this is very Uchiha Shisui.

"Alright, just keep that in mind. But I have to remind you, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is irreversible. The more you use it, the faster you'll go blind."

Shisui nodded to indicate that he understood. Then he took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and his eyes instantly transformed into a scarlet kaleidoscope pattern. The three tomoe were connected end to end, rotating slowly like a shuriken.

"Lord Aoba, my Mangekyou Sharingan technique is called 'Kotoamatsukami.' My left eye can directly invade the opponent's brain without them noticing and permanently and thoroughly modify their will."

Shisui voluntarily revealed the specific pupil technique of his eyes.

"My right eye technique, called Kotoamatsukami: Radiance, can subtly and slowly alter a person's will, or forcibly pull an enemy's spirit into the illusionary space I construct, instantly reducing their spirit to ashes."

"Within that illusionary space, I am the absolute master. I can control all time, space, and mass; no power can contend with this illusion!"

When Shisui said these words, his tone carried the unique pride of the Uchiha clan.

Aoba listened quietly to Shisui's description, then nodded slightly.

Among ninjas, information is more important than life itself.

Shisui's willingness to reveal his greatest trump card, the Mangekyou Sharingan, without reservation is not only a sign of trust, but also a way of declaring his absolute loyalty to Aoba.

"A very powerful eye technique, capable of altering will and destroying spirit, it's truly difficult to defend against." Aoba casually praised, but then changed the subject and his tone became serious.

"But, Shisui, you must remember one thing."

"In this world, there has never been a perfect technique; every technique has its fatal weakness."

Aoba looked at Shisui.

"Don't become overly reliant on the kaleidoscope's eye technique, and don't think that having these eyes gives you the right to look down on others."

"Any ninja who can reach the level of Kage possesses extremely special abilities and trump cards. Some of these special abilities are in no way inferior to your eye techniques, and the ability to modify one's will is not unsolvable."

"At least it doesn't work for me," Aoba added to himself.

He also remarked that the chip inside his body was simply the nemesis of Kotoamatsukami.

"The Uchiha clan has a history of over a thousand years. Even during the brutal Warring States period, there were ancestors of the Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"But what was the result? Weren't they always suppressed by the Senju clan?"

Yes, Lord Aoba is right.

If the Mangekyou Sharingan were truly invincible, the Uchiha clan would never have bowed down to the Senju clan.

"Your subordinate will remember Lord Aoba's teachings!" Shisui bowed his head deeply.

However, a hint of doubt arose in Shisui's heart. He raised his head and asked hesitantly, "Lord Aoba, when you mentioned 'Kage level,' did you mean the 'Kage' of each village?"

In Shisui's understanding, the Kage is the highest leader of a village, but from Aoba's words, it seems to be a specific standard for measuring strength.

Aoba turned around and smiled slightly at Shisui.

"This is just my personal, simple classification of strength."
