Chapter 166 A Way to Die

Crouching down, Bai Ye carefully examined the corpse.

Sure enough, traces of sealing magic were found in the piece of tongue that flew out from the other party, which completely confirmed their identity.

"As expected of the scapegoat, he actually insisted on taking the blame." Bai Ye couldn't help but complain, then stood up and looked up to survey the scenery of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

"It was truly a picturesque place, worthy of its reputation as the best of the five villages, but it's a pity it's no longer here today."

The words faded with the wind, and Bai Ye's figure had silently disappeared from the spot.

……

At the foot of the Hokage Building in Konoha, the villagers were still fiercely denouncing Byakuya to the Hokage.

Amidst the villagers' protests, even Hiruzen Sarutobi was forced to change his attitude.

Behind the third generation, Danzo Shimura's lips curled up slightly.

He had already sent men to assassinate Bai Ye, eliminating this unstable factor. Bai Ye should now be lying dead in the alley.

"Click-clack, click-clack..."

But amidst the commotion, a strange sound, like the cracking of a cookie, came from afar and reached their ears.

"What's that sound?" A strange sense of unease crept into their hearts, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Above the Hokage Rock, Byakuya bent down and dug his five right fingers deep into the forehead of the Third Hokage statue, then exerted force all over his body.

"Click-clack, click-clack..."

With all the muscles in the body exerting their strength simultaneously, the entire Hokage Rock, including the mountain below, was subjected to a terrifying tensile force of hundreds of millions of tons.

Then, in a chain reaction, the entire Hokage Rock was subjected to tremendous force and forcibly pulled out of the earth. After being flipped 180 degrees, it was held above Byakuya's head by both hands.

"What is that thing?!"

"The Naruto's image flew up."

"What the hell?!"

……

The villagers of Konoha were utterly shocked, staring at the Hokage Rock that had inexplicably floated up and the even larger mountain below, thinking that the previous Hokage had appeared in spirit.

The rock that Bai Ye is carrying at this moment is an irregularly shaped elliptical sphere that is 300 meters long, 300 meters wide, and 500 meters high.

In terms of size, it is even twice the size of the one that Madara Uchiha used to create.

Because of the great distance, these ordinary people could not see the small figure below the Hokage Rock.

But just because ordinary people couldn't see it doesn't mean ninjas couldn't. Seeing that it was actually lifted up by a human, the expressions on the faces of those ninjas were even more intense than those of ordinary people.

Compared to the Hokage Rock, Byakuya's body was like an ant, but at this moment he was actually lifting up the entire rock weighing hundreds of millions of tons and suspending it in the air as if against gravity.

"Is this God?"

Seeing hundreds of millions of tons of rocks being carried on their backs, that was the first thought in everyone's mind, even Orochimaru, who was preparing to leave.

But then, recalling the contents of the book, he wondered, "Could it be Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique?"

This was the thought that arose in everyone's mind, reminding them of Onoki's ninjutsu in the book that held up the Heavenly Meteor.

"When did Byakuya master such ninjutsu? Isn't he just a weak and lecherous monster who relies on cheap tricks?"

Looking at the boy who was rising into the sky, all the ninjas couldn't help but think to themselves.

Soon, someone started running towards the Hokage Rock. No matter what Bai Ye was planning to do, it couldn't be taken lightly.

"Byakuya, what are you doing?" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted as he ran, not expecting that everyone had underestimated this boy.

"Ha!" Looking at the group of ninjas running towards him, Bai Ye let out a soft shout, and with renewed divine power, he threw the Hokage Rock in his hand and smashed it towards Konoha Village.

The next moment, the entire Hokage Rock kicked up a large amount of dust and, under the force of gravity, crashed heavily into the village below.

Perhaps the villagers of Konoha could never have imagined that one day the statues of their Hokage ancestors would be in close contact with their faces.

Looking at the huge rock being thrown down from the sky, everyone knew that if it hit, the casualties would be even more severe than those in the Shinra Tensei story.

The intense wind pressure alone made it difficult for ordinary people to move. The ninjas immediately tried to use ninjutsu to destroy the rocks in the sky, but then a feeling of powerlessness spread throughout their bodies.

"What can we use to block this huge rock?"

As the stone drew ever closer, their hearts sank. At this moment, Konoha's best fighting force consisted of only a handful of men, who were simply no match for it.

The only option was to quickly organize an earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese magic) to protect those around them.

"Boom!"

Amidst the billowing dust, tons of rock pressed down in the center of Konoha Village, but then paused slightly before a large amount of earth and rock crumbled, a fist forcefully shattering the falling rocks.

Even so, the flying debris caused numerous casualties and affected many buildings in the surrounding area.

The villagers who had previously criticized Bai Ye's behavior were now speechless after Bai Ye's explanation.

"What have you done?" A question filled with anger rang out from below.

Bai Ye looked down and saw a burly man with blood-red steam emanating from his body staring at him angrily.

"Heh, you opened all eight gates right from the start? No wonder you could block my toys." Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh, showing no concern whatsoever.

After all, given the structure and density of these soil clods, they haven't been compressed, so the destructive power they cause is limited, and it's reasonable that they could be easily blown up.

"As for what I'm going to do, do you know that Danzo just had Root attack me?" Byakuya said as he slowly descended from the sky.

These words made all the ninjas who had rushed over look ugly. Was it Danzo again?

"So you're retaliating because of Danzo's actions?" Kai's movements faltered, and his fist, which had been poised to strike, stopped.

"Of course not! Even without Danzo, I would still destroy Konoha!" Byakuya laughed wildly, too lazy to make excuses. Even the Kage couldn't take away his responsibility. He wanted to destroy Konoha openly and honestly today.

"You villagers of Konoha, instead of offering your wives, daughters, and possessions for me to enjoy, you've been making a racket for so long. You deserve to die."

"I'm here today to destroy Konoha, just like you did to the Uchiha a few years ago," Byakuya said without any attempt to hide his intentions.

"Uchiha, are you avenging Uchiha Sasuke?" Kakashi asked as he arrived, recalling the fact that Byakuya and Uchiha Sasuke were friends in the book.

"That's right," Bai Ye said. The next moment, he saw the space around him distort, but he was already in the illusory space and let Kakashi use Kamui.

"Space-time ninjutsu, it looks like Obito's intangibility..." Blood flowed from Kakashi's eyes, and his face looked grim.

This guy is way too versatile! The book doesn't mention that at all, it just says he plays around with women. The author misled me!
