Chapter 192 Shennong with All Eight Gates Open, the Special Tailed Beast Zero-Tail (Third and Fourth Updates)

October.

As autumn arrived, the temperature in Konoha Village dropped.

Xia Mu had a very fulfilling time during this period.

Working and training during the day, and spending the evenings with Yakushi Nonou and then Uzumaki Kushina, he was in a real rush.

Of course, Xia Mu was willing to be busy like this.

Even after October, the Land of Rain continues to experience continuous heavy rain.

But when they arrived at Amegakure, all the rain that had been falling from the sky disappeared, and the sky cleared up.

This strange weather started last month.

This was quite a magical thing for the residents and ninjas of Amegakure.

But they all knew it was all because of Xiao Nan.

With the help of the magic weather wand, she finally developed a weather system that could control the weather in Amegakure.

It sounds amazing, but it's actually very simple.

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence: omnipotent chakra.

In the original work, it was not uncommon for ninjas to control the weather.

For example, Sasuke Uchiha.

Before he could use Lightning Release: Kirin, he had to use Fire Release to create thundercloud weather.

Of course, the development of Rain Village goes far beyond the weather system; it also includes infrastructure.

With funding from the Akatsuki organization, Amegakure was completely transformed.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd stepped into a modern city.

But its style is hard science fiction, with straightforward architecture.

The most important thing is the drainage system, with black pipes everywhere.

"You did a great job."

After reviewing the recent situation in Amegakure, Natsuki praised it.

Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and smiled.

What they feared most was not being able to satisfy Xia Mu.

Natsuki then looked into the situation in the Land of Rain.

I was somewhat surprised to see that the equipment related to hydropower had already been developed.

But there were more surprises than anything else.

However, there are also problems.

Building a hydroelectric power station is not particularly difficult.

The difficulty lies in how to protect it.

In particular, the Third Shinobi World War is not far off.

If the Land of Rain becomes the battlefield, the hydroelectric power station will be easily destroyed.

Xia Mu thought for a moment.

The most suitable locations for hydroelectric power stations are actually the five major countries.

Because the Shinobi World War rarely affected the Five Great Nations.

However, it was built in one of the five great nations, and it was too far from the Land of Rain.

Xia Mu quickly thought of Ye Cang again.

If Yekura becomes the Fourth Kazekage, then he can cooperate with Amegakure to build a hydroelectric power station.

Not only Sunagakure, but Konoha can also cooperate with Amegakure.

First, all five villages know that Amegakure is actually under the control of Konoha.

Secondly, Konoha Village also needs electricity.

By having both major ninja villages cooperate with Amegakure, the safety of the hydroelectric power station can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

The best approach would be to channel water from the Land of Rain to the Land of Fire or the Land of Wind, and then build a hydroelectric power station on the foundation of the reservoir.

Of course, there is no guarantee that the other three ninja villages will not damage the hydroelectric power station.

All I can say is that you can give it a try.

Even if it is destroyed, it can be rebuilt after the war.

"Wait for my notification regarding the hydroelectric power station."

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and said.

He planned to return to Konoha and tell Orochimaru about it.

"Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, get ready. We're going on a mission together."

Xia Mu continued.

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki!"

Yahiko said happily.

He hadn't gone out on missions with Xia Mu for a long time.

The same applies to Nagato and Konan.

Half an hour later, Xia Mu opened a spatial portal.

The four of them arrived in the land of birds.

Xia Mu took out the meat scraps and performed his initial release.

A giant ray appeared, and the four of them rode on it, heading towards the former Hidden Village.

"Our target this time is the Hidden Village."

Xia Mu spoke up.

"Wasn't the Hidden Void Village destroyed?"

Yahiko thought about it carefully and then asked.

"Although the Hidden Void Village was destroyed, some ninjas still survived."

Xia Mu then told them about Shennong and Angkor Fortress.

"There are fortresses like this?"

Upon hearing this, Yahiko immediately asked impatiently, "Are we going to take Angkor Fortress back to Amegakure for their use?"

Bringing back a flying Angkor fortress would be a spectacular sight.

"We're taking it back, but not giving it to Amegakure."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "I plan to give it to the Kuja Pirates."

Yahiko paused for a moment, then said nothing more.

After all, the Kuja Pirates also belong to the Akatsuki organization.

There's not much difference between what Amegakure uses and what the Kuja Pirates use.

"You three are tasked with controlling the ninjas of Angkor Fortress and the Hidden Village."

Xia Mu instructed, "I'm going to deal with Shennong, the current leader of Kongyin Village."

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

The three of them, Yahiko, said in unison.

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

Time passed slowly.

The giant ray flew high above the ruins of the Hidden Village.

"Let's go down."

Natsuki leaped up and casually put away the meat droplet.

Yahiko and the other two followed closely behind him, falling downwards.

Upon reaching the vicinity, the four used Moonwalk to adjust their bodies and landed smoothly on the ground.

Xia Mu activated his Observation Haki.

He immediately gained an understanding of the situation in the vicinity.

Shennong and the ninjas of Kongyin Village are all underground.

More precisely, it is located in the underground Angkor fortress.

"Come with me."

Xia Mu found an entrance and went through it.

Before they even got close, four ninjas from the Hidden Village appeared.

Xia Mu did not make a move.

Nagato raised his hand.

Shinra Tensei!

The four Hidden Village ninjas were immediately blown away.

Xia Mu opened the entrance.

The four people walked through the entrance and entered the interior of Angkor Fortress.

"That's the control room of Angkor Fortress. Inside, there's a Yin-style monster called Zero-Tail."

Xia Mu raised his hand and said, "But it's not very strong, and it's sealed, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

Upon hearing this, Yahiko and the other two headed in the direction he indicated.

Xia Mu then walked to the other side, to Shennong's room.

After walking for a few minutes, he sensed that Shennong had discovered him.

Because he did not conceal his whereabouts.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Shennong appeared before him.

Unlike his appearance in the original work, he looks younger and doesn't have a full head of white hair.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Shennong asked with a wary look.

Hadou Chapter 88: Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with a Thunderous Cannon!

Xia Mu didn't waste any words and raised his right hand.

A surge of chakra erupted, transforming into a straight beam of light.

Shennong never expected Xia Mu to be so unreasonable and attack him as soon as they met.

But what he didn't expect was the power of the Eighty-Eighth Technique: Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon.

He sensed something was wrong in an instant.

The linear beam of light hurtled towards him with a force that sent chills down his spine.

But even if he had noticed, he didn't have time to form hand seals.

Moreover, he is not good at fighting.

Shennong had no choice but to subconsciously raise his arms.

With a loud bang!

Shennong screamed and flew out, crashing into the wall, splattering blood everywhere.

If it were an ordinary ninja, he would already be severely injured and unable to fight anymore.

But Shennong was different.

He endured the pain and immediately formed hand seals while lying on the ground.

Forbidden Medical Technique: Body Revitalization!

A powerful surge of chakra erupted from his body.

He, who originally had a normal build, suddenly transformed into a muscular man.

His clothes ripped open, revealing his bulging muscles.

This applies to both abdominal muscles and arms.

He looks like a bodybuilder who has been injected with the power of Kowloon.

But it's not over yet.

Shennong stood up and continued to form hand seals.

Forbidden Medical Technique: Physical Regeneration!

The combination of two forbidden medical techniques forms a third forbidden medical technique.

Forbidden Medical Technique: Physical Transformation!

Shennong instantly became ten years younger, his injuries healed, and his entire body was filled with a surging aura, making him look extremely menacing.

"Your three forbidden medical techniques are quite good."

Xia Mu looked him over and said.

Shennong had just suffered a major blow and was in no mood to chat with Xia Mu.

He stomped on the ground, and as the ground cracked, he appeared before Xia Mu like lightning.

After undergoing three medically forbidden procedures, his physical condition improved dramatically.

This speed alone is comparable to that of a taijutsu jonin.

Physical Techniques - Active Fist!

Shennong clenched his fist.

His fist trembled, surrounded by terrifying chakra, and then he tore through the air and swung it toward Natsuki.

Strange power!

Xia Mu, without changing his expression, met the attack with a punch.

A dull sound rang out.

The two powerful forces generated intense fluctuations.

Even the air was swirled up by the chakra flow, forming visible air waves.

Shennong lost control and slid backward several meters.

Two black marks appeared on the ground.

At this moment, looking at Xia Mu felt as if he were seeing a ghost.

He used three forbidden medical techniques and still couldn't compare to Xia Mu?

"Is that all you've got?"

Xia Mu smiled slightly and asked.

Shennong's face darkened, and he used the Eight Gates Formation without hesitation.

In an instant, red energy emanated from him and spread out like a fountain.

Xia Mu narrowed his eyes, feeling an extremely oppressive aura rushing towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

But nothing more.

He recalled Might Guy's appearance with all eight gates open in the original work.

Shennong's imposing presence was insufficient.

Ultimately, it's a quick fix and can't compare to the real Eight Gates Formation.

"Your death is nigh!"

Shennong felt an unprecedented power, and he immediately forgot about the setback he had just experienced.

Physical Techniques - Active Fist!

In a flash, he was in front of Xia Mu.

His movements were as fast as lightning; a punch was thrown out, and the air exploded with a bang.

This is because he is too fast and too strong.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow.

That was a really good punch.

It's fair to say that most Jonin wouldn't be able to react in time.

The combination of three forbidden medical techniques and the Eight Gates technique allowed Shennong to barely reach the level of a Kage-level expert.

However, its weakness is also obvious: it lasts for a very short time.

Iron Block - Shattered!

Armament Haki!

Xia Mu raised his hand, and his entire body entered an iron-body state.

At the same time, Armament Haki transformed into a layer of armor covering his right hand.

Xia Mu threw a punch.

boom!

The two fists collided again.

The unimaginable force distorted the air, and the shockwave crashed into the walls on both sides like ocean waves, shattering them completely.

"How is that possible?"

Shennong's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because Xia Mu blocked his punch without taking a single step back.

"Who exactly are you?"

Shennong realized Xia Mu's extraordinary nature.

He couldn't possibly remain unknown in the ninja world.

"You've been in Konoha for so long, and you've never seen me before?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"Are you a ninja from Konoha?"

Shennong paused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You're Xia Mu?"

With such strength, such a young age, and being a ninja from Konoha Village, the first person he thought of was Natsuki.

When he was in Konoha Village, he mainly followed Might Guy and his son, so he never actually met Natsuki.

But just because he hasn't seen it doesn't mean he hasn't heard of it.

In that instant, Shennong even had the thought of running away.

However, the thought of the Hidden Village and Angkor Fortress filled him with murderous intent as he looked at Xia Mu.

Ninja Technique: Super Divine Fist!

Shennong raised his hands, his fists aimed at Xia Mu.

A stream of black chakra flew out from his fist, transforming into two shockwaves that shot out like arrows.

This is the Dark Chakra.

The chakra that shares the same origin as Zero-Tails comes from the darkness deep within people's hearts.

Sword of Iron Sand!

Xia Mu waved his hands.

The entire Angkor fortress suddenly trembled.

In this day and age, iron is the mainstream material.

The same applies to Angkor Fortress.

In an instant, the nearby iron gathered in front of Xia Mu, and then a giant sword was formed.

As soon as it appeared, it slashed out with its sword.

The two black shockwaves were immediately cut apart.

The giant sword pierced towards Shennong at an extremely fast speed.

"That's impossible!"

Although Shennong knew of Xia Mu's reputation, his performance still startled him, completely exceeding his expectations.

However, his physical strength was very high at the moment, and he dodged the giant sword in an instant.

Seeing this, Xia Mu moved his finger.

The greatsword instantly transformed into a chain blade, tearing through the air and spinning as it slashed towards Shennong.

Shennong was greatly shocked.

What kind of ninjutsu is this?

He didn't have time to think, and turned around, clenching his fists.

Ninja Technique: Super Divine Fist!

Two shockwaves met the chain blade head-on, creating a stalemate.

But only for a moment, the shockwave was cut apart again.

Upon seeing this, Shennong immediately accelerated and turned to rush towards Xia Mu.

There's no point in trying to outdo a ninja technique.

Once Natsuki is killed, his ninjutsu will naturally lose its effectiveness.

Shennong roared and threw out both fists.

More dark chakra erupted than before, surrounding him like a giant dark cloud.

Dark clouds flew out and crashed down on Xia Mu.

Railgun!

A kunai appeared in Xia Mu's hand.

Lightning flashed, and a black arrow flew out, piercing through the dark cloud.

However, the dark clouds also slowed down the speed of the kunai.

Shennong instinctively dodged to the left.

Just then, Natsuki activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kamui!

Space distortion.

Shennong had no time to react; he only felt a numbness in his right arm before it broke.

He froze for a moment, then a sharp pain shot through him, and he screamed in agony, clutching the incision on his right arm.

But soon, the forbidden medical technique, physical regeneration, took effect, and his right arm began to regenerate rapidly.

Even at the fastest speed, it still takes time.

The sealing arrow!

Xia Mu seized the opportunity and took out his bow.

An arrow flew out and struck Shennong squarely in the left shoulder.

The sealing technique on the arrow activated, freezing him in place.

Shennong's screams stopped.

Even the regenerated right arm stopped growing.

"It seems that sealing techniques can counter his forbidden medical techniques."

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

He stepped forward, took out the Flesh Droplet, and pierced his heart directly.

As he died, his body rapidly withered, turning him into an old man with white hair.

Forbidden techniques are called forbidden techniques because they have serious side effects.

Shennong's three forbidden medical techniques came at the cost of overdrawing one's lifespan.

That's normal, though.

After all, if others were to open all eight gates, they would pay the price with their lives.

Trading lifespan for immortality, coupled with the massive weakening effect of opening all eight gates, is, in a sense, a worthwhile trade.

This was especially true for Shennong.

It was a huge win for him, an ordinary Jonin, to unleash power close to that of a Kage-level ninja.

Xia Mu activated his divine power once again, throwing Shennong's corpse into the alternate dimension.

His body is still useful, because the Impure World Reincarnation requires a portion of his physical body.

"Teacher Natsuki."

Konan stepped forward and said, "Yahiko and Nagato have already taken control of the other Sky Village ninjas and researchers."

"Um."

Xia Mu patted her head and said, "Let's go to the control room."

The two walked towards the control room.

At this point, all the remaining ninjas and researchers from the Hidden Village were gathered here by Yahiko and Nagato.

Xia Mu glanced at them and found that there were quite a few people, more than a hundred.

The only pity is that their skills are not very good.

"Where is Zero Tail?"

Xia Mu withdrew his gaze and asked.

"In the energy room below."

Yahiko paused for a moment, then said, "We also discovered the villagers they had imprisoned."

"Let them go."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

There's no point in having the villagers stay.

In the original work, it is mentioned that Shennong took in a student in that village named Yuliu.

Yu Liu is also the female lead in this movie, and she even confessed her feelings to Naruto Uzumaki.

But she certainly wasn't born yet.

Xia Mu could only regretfully give up.

If she were already born, he wouldn't mind raising her.

Anyway, the Akatsuki organization has already raised many children.

Xia Mu arrived at the energy room.

Zero tail came into view.

It looks like a snake, but it wears a mask with the number "zero" engraved on it.

Upon seeing Natsuki, it instinctively rammed into the wall.

The transparent wall lit up, revealing a dense array of surgical techniques.

Xia Mu felt that it was about two-thirds smaller than the one in the original work.

There isn't much dark chakra in his body either.

After all, it was only recently created.

Natsuki thought it was possible to bring Zero to Hozuki Castle.

Let the ninjas of Hozuki Castle raise it.

These ninjas had all committed crimes; most of them were extremely vicious and their hearts were filled with darkness.

"Yahiko, leave the researchers behind, and take the other Sky Village ninjas back to Amegakure."

Xia Mu returned to the control room.

After he finished speaking, he opened a portal.

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

Yahiko immediately stepped forward and led the Hidden Cave ninjas into the portal.

"You may continue your research."

Xia Mu looked at the trembling researchers and said.

These are researchers who maintain and build the Angkor fortress.

The Angkor Fortress is not yet completed.

"Nagato and Konan, keep an eye on them."

Xia Mu opened another spatial portal and arrived at the Konoha Heavy Punishment Chamber.

He found a ninja who had committed a capital crime and used him as a living sacrifice to resurrect Shennong using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

A ninja resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique can retain their consciousness, or it can be erased.

Xia Mu allowed Shennong to continue his research so that he could keep it.

He then took him back to Angkor Fortress.

Because Angkor Fortress is not yet completed, he does not intend to take it away now.

Natsuki only took Zero-tail with him.
