Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 269 Heading to the Hidden Mist

After the myth of the "Goddess of the Rabbit" descending from the stars was told, the entire laboratory fell into an eerie silence.

Shisui and Itachi stood there, stunned, their faces filled with shock.

Although Lord Aoba said it was a myth, Shisui and Itachi didn't really take it as a story.

Especially the part of the story about the rivalry between the brothers "Asura" and "Indra".

One inherited the body of an immortal, and the other inherited the eyes of an immortal.

Isn't this a true reflection of the bloody competition between the Senju and Uchiha clans that has lasted for thousands of years?!

"So, the ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju were actually brothers—" Shisui muttered to himself, feeling his worldview crumbling.

He never imagined that the conflict between the Uchiha and Senju clans actually began with their ancestors.

"Sparashi————"

Orochimaru, standing to the side, once again stuck out his long tongue to wash his face, his eyes flashing with an unprecedentedly fanatical light.

As Tsunade's former teammate and Nawaki's teacher, Orochimaru's understanding of the Senju clan is far deeper than that of ordinary ninjas.

When people mention the Senju clan, their first reaction is "powerful chakra".

But this is actually a huge misunderstanding.

The ones with the largest chakra reserves are actually the Uchiha.

The Senju clan's true strength lies in their powerful vitality.

The large chakra reserves of Hashirama and Tobirama Senju are purely isolated cases and do not represent the entire Senju clan.

The Senju clan is revered as "the clan with a thousand hands" because in the ninja world, "hand" refers to the ability to unleash ninjutsu.

The true meaning of "Thousand Hands" is that it possesses countless powerful ninjutsu!

The Senju clan possesses the largest collection of ninjutsu scrolls and research materials related to ninjutsu in the ninja world.

In the Book of the Thousand Hands, the Thousand Hands clan is described as invincible.

This is why Tobirama Senju was able to develop so many forbidden techniques, because the Senju clan itself possessed a vast collection of ninjutsu and related information.

"Hehehe—I see, I see!"

With Orochimaru's intelligence, he grasped the core key almost instantly after hearing Aoba's "story".

"No wonder Shisui-kun's eyes needed to be held in a White Zetsu that contained the power of Wood Release."

Orochimaru stared intently at Aoba, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

Why do paresthesia require interstitial cells for repair?

This is not a simple treatment at all; it is essentially—completing the genes!

The Uchiha and Senju are two bloodlines born from the same source. The power contained in Hashirama's cells can just make up for the damage that the Mangekyou Sharingan has caused to the body.

However, Orochimaru was more interested in the "Goddess of the Rabbit" from Aoba's story than in these things.

According to Aoba, this being, who is revered as a god in the ninja world, is actually an "outsider" who descended from a distant star!

The source of the chakra power that the ninja world currently possesses is precisely this visitor from outer space!

"Interesting—this is so interesting!"

Orochimaru's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he laughed maniacally as if he had discovered a new continent.

After a moment, Orochimaru finally suppressed the trembling in his heart, his snake eyes staring straight at Aoba.

"So that's how it is, I see—"

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, "No wonder you wanted to bring Tsunade back. Resurrection Duan, so your real target, or rather, the enemy you've been guarding against, is these extraterrestrials, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Shisui and Itachi, who were standing nearby, gasped again.

The two of them turned their heads in unison, looking at Qingye with utter shock.

Extraterrestrials?!

Lord Aoba's goal—is to deal with such an existence?!

According to Lord Aoba's story, the chakra they currently use was given to them by these "otherworldly beings." What do they have to fight them with?

In particular, Itachi Uchiha, with his extremely meticulous mind, noticed another even more astonishing detail.

He recalled the nonsensical conversation between his teacher and Orochimaru when he was treating Shisui's eyes.

It mentions that Orochimaru from the future attacked him.

This future could very well be the real future!

In other words—

Did the teacher somehow obtain information about the future?

The weasel's pupils suddenly contracted.

If this conjecture is true, then many things that had puzzled him before will suddenly have a reasonable explanation.

The teacher clearly possesses unfathomable strength, yet he is humble and unassuming.

Why did the teacher choose to hold back and only use force when facing the Abby duo from Kumogakure on the front lines, even though he clearly had the strength to kill them outright?

They also secretly establish bases overseas to cultivate their own power.

It turns out that the teacher had been preparing to deal with a disaster on a god-like level all along!

"Our teacher—he silently bore so much all by himself!"

Itachi's gaze towards Aoba completely changed.

The original respect now carries an added touch of admiration.

Aoba took in everyone's reactions but didn't rush to explain anything.

Some things don't necessarily need to be explained in full.

Giving them some space to think and let them fill in the blanks themselves is actually more effective.

That's the benefit of dealing with smart people.

Some things shouldn't be said too explicitly; if they're too clear, they'll become suspicious.

But if you only give them a few clues and let them deduce the truth from the clues themselves, they will be convinced of the truth they have "discovered".

For example, now, with these "mythological clues" provided by Aoba, many of the bottlenecks and incomprehensible problems that Orochimaru encountered in his human experiments have instantly found a very reasonable explanation.

"If chakra originates from transplantation from a foreign source" — then the cellular rejection response can also be achieved through —

""

Orochimaru muttered to himself, instantly entering a frenzied state of bursting inspiration.

next second.

He suddenly turned around, lunged at the lab table, grabbed various instruments and test tubes, and began frantically operating them.

He had completely forgotten that Aoba brought Shisui here today to ask him to help improve the curse seal in order to restore the power of Shisui's eyes.

Seeing Orochimaru's completely absorbed and frenzied state as he worked on his research, Aoba shook his head helplessly.

This state truly reflects the reality of top researchers.

"Shisui, Itachi."

Aoba patted the two on the shoulders, "You two will stay here for the next few days and assist Orochimaru."

"Yes, Lord Aoba!"

Shisui and Itachi responded in unison.

After giving instructions to the two, Aoba turned to Orochimaru, who was still frantically recording data, and suddenly spoke up to remind him.

"By the way, Lord Orochimaru, remember to bring Kabuto Yakushi over when you have time."

"It's such a waste to keep that kid in Konoha as a spy."

Upon hearing the name "Yakushi Kabuto," Orochimaru paused slightly as he typed on the keyboard, turned his head, and a hint of surprise flashed in his golden eyes.

"Oh? Aoba-kun also likes that child?"

Orochimaru asked with great interest, "It seems that child played a significant role in the future!"

Kabuto Yakushi was someone he had only recently taken in, originally intended to be a spy in Konoha.

Since everyone knows that Aoba has information about the future, those who are mentioned by him must have achieved considerable "success" in the future.

Actually, Aoba originally planned to intercept Yakushi Kabuto ahead of time.

Unfortunately, he was busy dealing with the Uchiha clan at the time, and he was a step too late. Orochimaru still managed to kidnap him.

"Yes, Kabuto's talent is no less than Kakashi's."

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly, clearly showing great confidence in his judgment.

The Third Hokage had Kakashi, but he found Kabuto. Kabuto clearly possessed talents no less than Kakashi's, yet he remained hidden right under the Third Hokage's nose, which is quite interesting.

However, what Aoba said next was what truly surprised him.

"That's secondary. The key is that Kabuto Yakushi possesses the aptitude to become a 'Sage'."

"The potential of an immortal?!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply, then he gave a wicked smile, "Hehehe—it seems I have indeed found an extraordinary treasure."

Many people believe that Orochimaru was unable to master Sage Mode because he frequently used "Reanimation Jutsu," which caused a mismatch between his soul and body, making it impossible for his body to maintain a stable balance between natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy.

This statement is actually inaccurate.

Quite the contrary!

It was only when Orochimaru realized he couldn't master Sage Mode that he resorted to developing the Cursed Seal, attempting to borrow the power of Sage Mode through this clever trick.

At this stage, the concept of resurrection is just a idea of ​​Orochimaru and has not yet been officially developed.

The most fundamental reason is that Orochimaru was unable to control natural energy using traditional methods.

That is, the immortal cultivation method passed down from the three great spiritual holy sites.

Aoba also has this problem.

Both Orochimaru and Aoba are essentially scholarly thinkers who are extremely rational and focused on logic.

If you ask them to analyze cell structure and derive formulas for chakra nature transformation, they can come up with all sorts of amazing ideas.

But asking them to close their eyes, calm their minds, and try to perceive that completely unfamiliar power is, frankly, a bit too much for them.

To put it bluntly, traditional methods of cultivating immortality are too "idealistic" and are simply not suitable for "materialistic" researchers like them.

Aoba himself only mastered immortal arts through an alternative means after obtaining the Grell Stone and using ancient technology and physical methods.

"I see—I understand now."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face again, his voice hoarse but filled with excitement, "It seems I need to send someone to bring that child back as soon as possible."

Several days later.

Aoba received information from Ryoichi again.

The situation was more interesting than I had imagined.

As news spread that Aoba had single-handedly crushed the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on the front lines, the entire ninja world was shaken, or rather, terrified.

It's understandable that you can defeat the Raikage, and it's also acceptable that you can seal a Jinchuriki, but defeating the Abby duo at the same time is a bit exaggerated.

What's even more surprising is Aoba's current age.

Too young!

High-ranking officials from the other four major countries are indeed exchanging views in private.

They even spread false information in the underworld, intentionally or unintentionally targeting Konoha, or more precisely, targeting Yamashiro Aoba.

In the underground black market, information about Yamashiro Aoba was being sold for exorbitant prices.

There are also people secretly stirring things up, trying to sow discord between Aoba and the Konoha leadership.

After all, the strength that Yamashiro Aoba has shown is too much for the villages to fear.

No one wants another ninja god to emerge in the ninja world. However, because the villages are wary of each other, they only spread information in the underworld and even offer bounties.

Since these guys are so wary of him, wouldn't he be letting them down if he didn't do something?

Aoba stroked his chin, having made a decision in his heart.

He plans to personally visit the villages and find those "shadows" to have a good chat about life.

As for the first stop —

Aoba's gaze turned towards the Land of Water.

Hidden Mist Village.

The reason why Kirigakure was chosen as the first stop was because Kenji secretly sneaked into Konoha while he was away.

Although I don't know what Obito is up to this time, it's definitely not going to be anything good.

"Looks like we need to find something for this idiot to do."

A hint of mockery flashed in Qingye's eyes.

The Hidden Mist Village is currently under the oppressive rule of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who is controlled by Obito using genjutsu.

Go to Kirigakure to raid Kenji's old home, and while you're at it, borrow some chakra from the Three-Tails and Six-Tails.

Several days later, in a dense forest at the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire.

A thick fog blanketed the area, reducing visibility to extremely low levels.

A fierce chase is unfolding here.

A group of Hidden Mist ninjas were frantically fleeing through the woods, while Konoha ninjas were hot on their heels.

"Damn it! How could Konoha's pursuers be so fast?!"

A Hidden Mist ninja cursed through gritted teeth.

"The intelligence has been leaked! We must bring the scroll back to the village as soon as possible!" Another female ninja said, panting heavily, her eyes resolute.

-

However, at that moment, a Hidden Mist ninja with a shark-like face in the group suddenly stopped.

The next second, he suddenly drew his ninja sword from his back and swung it at his teammate without hesitation!

puff!puff!

Blood splattered everywhere, and the two Hidden Mist ninjas didn't even have time to scream before collapsing into pools of blood.

"Why!?"

The female ninja lost her balance and fell to the ground, staring in disbelief at her former comrade-in-arms.

Kisame Hoshigaki remained expressionless, his voice wooden.

"To silence my comrades and prevent the intelligence from falling into enemy hands—that is my special mission."

The female ninja looked at Kisame's cold face, her eyes filled with no resentment, only deep sorrow.

"Your life must have been very difficult."

Upon hearing this, Kisame's hand holding the sword trembled violently.

Those lifeless pupils shrank back sharply.

Is it hard work?

Killing companions, betraying trust, in this world full of lies, they don't even know who they are.

But a mission is a mission.

Kisame forcibly suppressed the inexplicable flutter in his heart and walked forward with a blank expression.

He raised his ninja sword high, aimed it at the female ninja's heart, and plunged it in without hesitation!

puff!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was exceptionally clear in the rain.

The female ninja let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her life began to ebb away rapidly.
