Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Just as the rogue ninja was easily dealt with by Haku and his group.

In the Daimyo prefecture, the Daimyo's guardian ninja, led by Kazuma, Daisuke, Fushu, Nakagami, Naoto, and Aozora, also launched a rebellion.

Their primary targets were the six surviving guardian ninja: Sarutobi Asuma, Chiriku, Kitako, Nango, Seito, and Tou.

When Kazuma and the others arrived, Sarutobi Asuma, Jiraiya, and the others were already prepared.

Looking at Kazuma, Sarutobi Asuma still tried to persuade him: "Kazuma, you should know that even if you kill us, even if you control the Daimyo's mansion now, you will never succeed."

Kazuma laughed and said, "No, Asuma, you don't understand yet. From the moment I took action, success was destined."

"I will never forget what Hideaki said back then."

"Those words are what guide my actions today."

Sarutobi Asuma frowned.

Beizi shouted, "Asuma, no need for further words, just take care of them."

Everything that needed to be said has been said. Now that we've parted ways, let's see who lives and who dies first.

Kazuma then said something inexplicable: "After today, my dream will definitely come true, and it won't change because of my life or death!"

Asuma frowned, then his chakra erupted, and the air around him swirled, forming cyan halos that enveloped his body, arms, and legs.

Wind Release Chakra Mode!

This is a Wind Release chakra mode developed by Sarutobi Asuma himself, but it is different from the Wind Release chakra mode of Maki from Sunagakure.

What appeared was not a chakra cloak, but rather an extremely sharp circular wind blade, like a sharp airflow spinning at high speed.

However, it was inspired by the Wind Release: Rasengan jutsu.

Holding the Flying Swallow sword, Sarutobi Asuma said in a deep voice, "In that case, let us fight to defend our respective ninja ways!"

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them vanished from their original positions.

The great battle has begun!

Sarutobi Asuma faced off against Kazuma, while Kitako and the others faced off against Daisuke, Fushu, and the others, and were completely outmatched in ninjutsu.

But the next moment, some of the rogue ninjas discovered that their vision was being lost, and the world was rapidly turning dark, so dark that they could not see their own hands in front of their faces.

"Watch out, it's an illusion, Dark Walk!"

"what!"

"The secret agents have arrived!"

The sounds of ninja tools clashing, blades slicing through flesh, blood gushing out, and screams and cries rose and fell.

Itachi Uchiha and Hayate Gekko led the elite Anbu fighters out to attack.

Moonlight Gale appears and disappears like a ghost, the Greatsword Samehada absorbs chakra.

Itachi Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan brought boundless fear to the rogue ninja.

Anyone whose eyes meet the illusion is controlled by the magic.

Outside the battlefield, Obito Uchiha and Nagato watched the battle silently.

"Your kinsman is stronger than you."

Nagato commented.

Obito Uchiha did not answer, but he tacitly agreed.

In terms of talent, not only Itachi Uchiha was stronger than him, but also Shisui Uchiha.

Of course, in addition to these, the Uchiha clan also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Obito Uchiha was very much looking forward to seeing what Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan would be.

In this day and age, what kind of eye techniques will emerge from the eye that reflects the soul?

Nagato withdrew his gaze from the battlefield: "It seems we don't need to get involved here."

Although Sarutobi Asuma and his group were outnumbered, they completely had the upper hand.

Suddenly, Obito Uchiha turned his head, and Nagato also looked to the side.

Someone's coming!

"It's him!"

Nagato's gaze sharpened; it was the doctor named Shennong who served the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"He's definitely not an ordinary person!"

Nagato sensed something.

Obito Uchiha said, "It seems we still need to take action."

As he spoke, he entered the Divine Might Space.

Nagato leaped into the air and landed in front of Shennong.

"So they discovered me a long time ago?"

Shennong looked at Changmen with a slight surprise.

Nagato was also scrutinizing Shennong: "You were the mastermind behind this whole incident?"

Shennong laughed and said, "No, I was just going with the flow."

His appearance was indeed unexpected, but the strength he displayed made Kazuma make up his mind.

"However, Hoshishita Shuichi didn't come in person."

Shennong was somewhat disappointed, but also relieved.

If Hoshino Shuichi were here, he definitely wouldn't show up.

As for the person in front of him... he didn't recognize him!

"Looks like the ninja world is about to descend into chaos, hehe..."

Shennong chuckled inwardly. When the ninja world descends into chaos, only then can the Void Ninjas make their mark, allowing him to seize the power of the Tailed Beasts.

As for the rogue ninjas sent out, they were merely a test.

If he could obtain the power of the Tailed Beasts, that would be best. If not, he would naturally have a chance once the ninja world descended into chaos.

Looking at Changmen, Shennong reached out and tore off his robe.

Then, under Nagato's gaze, Shennong's muscles began to twitch, and his originally thin body swelled up rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Shennong transformed into a muscular man.

"Are there forbidden taijutsu techniques similar to the Eight Gates, involving natural breathing?"

Nagato immediately thought of the Eight Gates Formation, and later, Hoshino Shita Shuichi's Natural Breathing technique.

These two were the strongest forbidden physical techniques he had ever seen.

If this person's forbidden technique is comparable to the Eight Gates...

Nagato became serious, raised his right hand, and unleashed his eye technique.

All things guide the heavens!

hum!

Shennong's body was sucked in and he flew up.

But he immediately bent his knees and then squatted down.

boom!

The air exploded, and Shennong's body shot out, actually breaking free from the control of the Universal Pull and hurtling towards Nagato.

"really……"

Nagato was already on guard, and with a change in his eye technique, he unleashed Shinra Tensei.

boom!

The invisible repulsive force and the impact of Shennong collided, creating a terrifying roar. Shennong's body paused in mid-air, then suddenly shifted to the side, appearing abruptly to deliver a punch to Nagato.

Bang!

Nagato's body exploded, turning into a puddle of water that landed on the ground.

The pool of water then coiled around Shennong like a snake, but was immediately shattered by Shennong's powerful force.

But at this moment, Nagato, who appeared behind Shennong, had already used the power of the Asura Path, launching rockets one after another from different directions.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions followed one after another, and flames and smoke rose up, enveloping Shennong.

A moment later, as the smoke and fire subsided, Nagato was slightly startled: "Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it also possesses terrifying regenerative abilities!"

Shennong's wounds were rapidly healing; his muscles twitched, and granulation tissue grew quickly.

Such resilience was something Nagato had only seen in Hoshino Shuichi, Madara Uchiha, and himself when he was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"No wonder I'm so confident in pushing this forward..."

Just as Nagato was about to use Chibaku Tensei, he saw space distort, and with Shennong's painful groan, Shennong's left arm was twisted off and disappeared.

Kamui!

Obito Uchiha, who had been hiding in the shadows, made his move.

"Who is it?"

Shennong was startled and quickly moved his body.

At the same time, it further revitalizes its own body, allowing the severed arm to grow rapidly.

Obito Uchiha appeared on the rooftop, watching the rapidly moving Shennong, but could no longer lock onto him.

At that moment, Nagato spread his arms wide and unleashed Shinra Tensei!

boom!

As the floor rolled outwards from the long doorway, a terrifying repulsive force swept across every angle.

Even with Shennong's immense power, he was still sent flying when faced with Nagato's full-force Shinra Tensei.

Immediately afterwards, Nagato withdrew the power of Shinra Tensei and instead used all his strength to unleash Bansho Ten'in to capture Shennong.

Obito Uchiha on the rooftop locked onto Shennong, who was frozen in mid-air, causing spacetime to distort.

Before Shennong could break free from Nagato's restraints, his body was split in two at the waist, and his lower body was sent directly to the Kamui dimension by Obito Uchiha.

Bang!

Shennong's upper body hit the ground, and the terrible injury caused him to scream in agony. His bulging muscles quickly atrophied, and he returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Swish!

Nagato and Obito appeared simultaneously in front of Shennong. Nagato reached out and grabbed Shennong's hair, while Obito and Shennong locked eyes and Obito cast a genjutsu.

"Uchiha... Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Shennong's eyes widened, and he immediately fell into the illusion, no longer struggling.

Nagato first searched Shennong's memories, and then extracted his soul directly.

Bang!

Shennong's body fell to the ground, and Obito Uchiha looked at Nagato: "Who is this guy?"

Nagato said, "The leader of the Sky Ninja has a Zero-Tails in his possession. He wants to obtain the power of the Tailed Beasts to strengthen the Zero-Tails and create a Tailed Beast that is even more powerful than the Ten-Tails, so as to unify the ninja world."

Obito Uchiha frowned: "The Sky Ninja, I remember a ninja village that was wiped out during the Second Shinobi World War. These guys even tried to assassinate the Third Hokage."

"Zero-Tails... Is this thing the same as a Tailed Beast?"

Nagato frowned and said, "They should be about the same, both being aggregates of chakra. However, the Zero-Tails is probably more terrifying than the Tailed Beasts because it is formed from dark chakra and grows stronger by exploiting the darkness within a person's heart."

Obito Uchiha immediately understood that the Zero-Tails was more terrifying than the Tailed Beasts not because of its strength, but because of its composition, which was inherently evil.

Nagato thought for a moment and said, "Let's hand this information over to the Alliance."

Obito Uchiha nodded, offering no objection.

Since Nagato said so, it means that they don't need to go there in person to see Zero-Tails.

Nagato then turned to look at Itachi and the others: "The battle is almost over."

"Amazing illusionary abilities."

Obito Uchiha nodded: "He should be second only to Shuichi and Shisui."

Moments later, the battle ended.

Itachi Uchiha and Asuma Sarutobi arrived in front of the two, but Asuma Sarutobi was not in a good mood.

Nagato extracted the information he had obtained from Shennong, and Obito Uchiha then said, "Itachi, after returning to the village, report this information to the Fourth Hokage."

Uchiha Itachi nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Nagato then said, "Next, you go and eliminate the remaining rogue ninjas; leave the daimyo to us."

Itachi Uchiha nodded again, but Asuma Sarutobi hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Was the Daimyo also controlled by Shennong...?"

Obito Uchiha glanced at Asuma Sarutobi: "That's not important!"

"This isn't your responsibility. Just follow orders!"

That's already extremely impolite.

Itachi Uchiha immediately pulled Sarutobi Asuma away.

As Obito Uchiha watched the two leave, he suddenly said, "Asuma is not a suitable candidate for the Fifth Hokage."

Nagato thought for a moment and said, "Besides Shuichi, the most suitable candidate would be Kakashi Hatake, wouldn't he?"

Obito Uchiha said, "That guy is indeed suitable."

There was a hint of sourness in his voice. (End of Chapter)
