Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 378 The Changes in Cloud Ninja and Sand Ninja (Two Chapters Combined)

at the same time.

Cloud Ninja Village.

The new Raikage, Aila, removed his straw hat to cover his face and looked down at the cheering crowd of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Ai's face showed no smile, nor was it calm.

There was no trace of joy in him becoming a Cloud Ninja.

"From today onwards, you are Lord Raikage."

The earthen platform, wearing an eye patch, spoke from the side.

As the Third Raikage's most trusted ninja, Tsuchidai has now completely become part of the Cloud Ninja's decision-making body.

Brubi stepped forward and patted Ai on the shoulder.

"Your father will be proud of you."

After hearing Brubi's words, Ai remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"I will definitely avenge this!"

There was no joy on his face, only a heavy expression.

Minato Namikaze of Konoha killed his father, the Third Hokage A, so he had a reason to seek revenge.

The death of the Third Raikage was a fatal blow to the entire Cloud Ninja. Looking down at the Cloud Ninja below, a dark cloud still hung over his brow.

He also wanted revenge.

He turned to look at the earthen platform.

"Prepare for the Ten Thousand Thunder Pool!"

"no!!"

Brubi suddenly interrupted, saying that although the Thunder Pool had increased the chances of advancing to the third level, the danger had not decreased at all.

"Oh dear! This decision is extremely dangerous!"

Kirabi also stepped forward, full of worry, but the rap he was rapping sounded completely out of place.

"Lord Raikage, you should know the dangers of the Ten Thousand Thunder Pool."

Tu Tai spoke up.

To date, apart from the Third Raikage, no one has dared to attempt to challenge the Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders.

"The third generation only managed to hold on thanks to its powerful defenses."

The third-generation A's Thor armor possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities, which was the key to his advancement.

The biggest problem in Wanlei Pool is how to withstand the thunder. If you can't even withstand the thunder, there's no point in talking about promotion.

Withstanding the lightning is only the first step; the next step is to integrate the natural power of the lightning into the body.

With the assistance of various techniques from the Hidden Cloud Village, one can advance in rank.

As for Ai in front of us.

His Lightning Release Chakra Mode is completely inadequate, and his secret weapon doesn't increase his defense; instead, it boosts his speed.

The other party is having a hard time even with the first point, let alone the subsequent issues.

"But the Hidden Cloud Village needs a third layer."

Ai's expression remained firm and unwavering; the third layer was the most important power in the ninja world today.

"I'll do it."

"Brubi spoke up."

"Compare to the teacher."

Ai looked at Brubi and said without any mercy.

"Without you, the distance to the third level has actually increased, and now I am the only one in the entire village who is closest."

Brubi's chakra reserves were simply insufficient to support his advancement.

Currently, only the fourth generation Ai is the closest to the third level.

"But! Big brother! Kumogakure can't be without the Raikage!"

Kirabi tried to persuade him from the side.

Now that Ake has just become Raikage, if something unexpected happens at this time, it would be a fatal blow to the Cloud Ninja.

The death of the Third Hokage had already begun to cause the entire Cloud Ninja to decline.

If the Raikage dies, the Cloud Ninja might truly be doomed.

Not to mention that they have now lost a lot of money, and the small ninja villages around the Land of Lightning are showing signs of unrest.

"The Hidden Cloud Village will never be without a Raikage."

Ai said with certainty.

"Because I'm sure I'll succeed."

"Back then, my father was able to take risks as the Raikage and ultimately succeed."

"I can too."

A look of unwavering conviction appeared on the face of the fourth-generation Ai.

If they don't give it their all, the Cloud Ninja will be forced to withdraw from the ranks of the Five Great Sects.

"I will absolutely not fail."

He could only believe it.

The group exchanged glances as they looked at Ai, who showed no sign of backing down.

Both father and son were so confident.

The key point is that once they get carried away, they really don't follow any logic at all.

Don't you realize your Lightning Release Chakra Mode isn't up to par?

They actually wanted to risk their lives to try.

What can they do?

They were also desperate.

Aiko didn't care what they thought and spoke directly.

"Prepare for the Ten Thousand Thunder Pool."

Several figures from the Cloud Ninja Anbu appeared in front of Ai.

"yes!!"

The hidden side responded simultaneously.

Cloud Thunder Canyon.

Because it is located at an extremely high altitude, it is surrounded by clouds and fog all year round, and during certain periods of time, it may even be surrounded by thunderstorm clouds.

While it was dangerous, no one came to disturb them.

It naturally became a sacred training ground for the Cloud Ninja.

Below the towering steps.

Ai stood below, looking up at the building above the steps.

All around stood a special iron pillar that reached into the clouds; these pillars were made of special materials.

Just then, an eagle flew in from a distance and was about to enter the area surrounded by iron pillars when a large amount of lightning flashed out.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky.

The entire eagle instantly turned into black charcoal.

The fierce lightning did not stop; it continued to strike relentlessly.

Until the entire Yunlei Gorge was filled with intense thunder.

What you could see was a sea of ​​lightning, densely packed with thunderbolts.

After a long while, the sea of ​​lightning slowly disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Ai".

Brubi still wanted to try to persuade her.

"I'm gone."

Ai waved his hand, ignoring Brubi's advice.

He stepped into the lightning pillar.

"Crackling and popping."

A powerful electric arc began to flash intensely.

Ai let out a muffled groan.

"That's all!!"

Lightning Release Chakra Mode! Activate!!

Intense lightning transformed into armor, enveloping his entire body.

He withstood the lightning.

We walked forward step by step.

"When I come out."

"The Hidden Cloud Village will be completely different."

Ai's voice came slowly.

Brubi looked up at the sky with a somber expression as a powerful bolt of lightning struck down from above.

"boom!!"

Blue lightning instantly filled everyone's vision.

When the lightning subsided.

Ai stood there unharmed, though his body was charred.

But they didn't stop and continued walking upwards.

The dense lightning never stopped.

Brubi watched Ai walk in.

"I should give it my all too."

A single third layer is only enough to stabilize the Cloud Ninja's position; the more third layers there are, the better.

Then the Cloud Ninja will naturally be stronger.

Sunagakure (Sand Village).

Fenfu sat cross-legged in the prison cell.

He clasped his hands together and recited the scriptures.

Although his status is different now and no one restricts where he lives, he is still more familiar with this environment.

"Lord Fenfu, here is today's food."

Several female Jonin from Sunagakure walked in carrying plates.

"Put it here."

Bunpuku opened his eyes and looked at the Sunagakure specialties on the plate.

Although the village is not wealthy now, the food given to him is still very plentiful.

The alluring female ninja placed the plate in front of Bunfuku. Seeing Bunfuku slowly close his eyes again, the female ninjas, feeling slightly bored, all withdrew.

And outside.

The Third Kazekage was standing at the door.

He sighed as he watched the female ninja emerge.

"Fenfu, you're really hard to deal with."

Nowadays, Fenfu basically stays in his cell and ignores everything outside. Unless he forces the other party to take action, Fenfu will never leave.

He used many methods to completely bind him to the Sand Village's war machine.

But the other party remained unmoved.

"Kazekage-sama."

A scorpion wearing a cloth robe walked over from a distance.

"It's a scorpion."

The Third Kazekage rubbed his temples.

"They're running for fourth generation leadership right now, what brings you here?"

The Kazekage was getting tired after sitting for so long. He felt guilty towards the Sand Village for the two consecutive defeats in the war, so he decided to hand over the position of Kazekage.

The scorpion in front of them is one of the favorable candidates.

"I came to see Fenfu."

"Scorpion said in a low voice."

"Go."

The Third Kazekage shook his head. Now he worried that after his death, no one would be able to control Fenfu.

After all, the Sand Village hasn't yet found a way to advance to the third level.

If Sunagakure didn't have Bunpuku...

Then we really can't compete with other villages anymore.

Scorpion nodded and walked into the cell.

The prison was simply a reconstruction based on the place where Fenfu had once lived.

The prison cell doors were all open.

Scorpion glanced at the empty plate, while Fenfu, who was resting with his eyes closed, made no attempt to acknowledge Scorpion's arrival.

Sasori didn't make a sound, but simply closed his eyes, and chakra threads appeared in his hands, extending outwards along the threads.

A sparrow perched on a tree outside, tilting its head to look down at the surroundings.

The Third Kazekage has already left, and there are no guards around.

Scorpion in the cell then opened his eyes.

Fenfu also looked at Scorpion at the same time.

Scorpion couldn't help but frown and take a step back.

How come the other person is still alive?

"You've arrived."

Fenfu sighed.

"Are you alright?"

Scorpion stared at the empty plate, his face turning ashen.

Fenfu shook his head, pulled open his clothes, revealing dense green and purple lines on his body.

Scorpion took the scroll from his waist.

To be honest, he had no confidence at all about going to war with a third-level being.

However, the lines appearing on the other person's body were a sign of a toxin outbreak. This specially made toxin was always colorless and odorless, and he put it into the other person's food.

We await the toxins to erupt today.

It seems he underestimated the power of the third level.

"Actually, I knew from the very beginning."

Fenfu sighed.

Reaching the third level is not as simple as just having a Dharma body; it also involves mastering natural energy and being sensitive to all things.

Toxins are easy to spot, and most toxins are already ineffective.

The venom used by scorpions is specifically designed to target natural energy.

Although he could see through it, his body couldn't break the toxins.

It must be said that the child in front of us is an absolute genius. The Sand Village still hasn't figured out natural energy.

The study of the soul is also a variant of the use of chakra.

But Scorpion had already taken control without anyone noticing.

That's truly unbelievable.

"Um?"

Scorpion looked at Fenfu with a puzzled expression, somewhat doubting the guy's brain.

Since they discovered he had poisoned her, why wait until the poison fully manifested?

Are you lying to him?

Seeing Scorpion's confusion, Fenfu explained, "I just..."

I don't want to ruin everything for you.

Sasori has a bright future in Sunagakure, and Bunpuku doesn't want to ruin it.

It's too cruel for a scorpion that has lost so much.

Scorpion stared coldly at Fenfu, his face expressionless.

"It's a human puppet."

Fenfu continued.

This finally caused a hint of panic to appear on Scorpion's face.

Fenfu sighed again, his cloudy eyes obscuring his inner thoughts.

"Hatred will eventually destroy everything, Scorpion."

"I hope my death will bring you to your senses."

"There is still love in this world."

As he spoke, tears began to stream down his face.

Green and purple lines kept climbing up his neck and soon appeared on his face.

Fenfu lowered his head.

Life and vitality are constantly fading away.

"You'll be free from now on."

"Shukaku".

In his inner world, on the calm surface of the water, Shukaku raised his head and looked upwards.

A beam of light shone down.

"Old man!!"

Shukaku's voice became choked with emotion.

And then there was the final sound of Fenfu.

"Celestial Art! Sand Body Spin!"

Shukaku's figure slowly disappeared.

outside world.

Once Fenfu had completely lost its vitality, Scorpion's facial expressions became more varied, revealing a multitude of complex emotions.

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

He growled in a low voice, afraid that the sound would attract attention.

He couldn't understand why Fenfu chose death without any resistance.

It was like a pebble thrown into his stagnant heart.

Finally, Scorpion took a deep breath, and the expression on his face gradually disappeared.

As for whether Fenfu's actions have any impact, that's a question for him to answer.

Scorpion reached out and placed his hand on Fenfu's corpse.

The chakra threads on his hand were continuously entering his body through the five orifices of Bunpuku.

"Shukaku has disappeared."

"However, natural energy still exists."

Scorpion placed the Book of Seals on the ground and then placed his hand on it.

Smoke billowed out.

A puppet identical to Fenfu appeared.

The ceremony for the transfer of the Kazekage position in Sunagakure is underway.

There are three candidates who can compete for the position of Kazekage.

Rasa, Sasori, and Yekura.

However, Yekura had no interest in the position of Kazekage and withdrew from the Kazekage election first.

For some reason, Scorpion began to disappear without a trace, and even his supporters sometimes couldn't find him.

Finally, it landed on Luo Sha's head.

Fengying Building.

Chiyo sighed as she looked at Rasa, who was preparing to take over as Kazekage.

Scorpion, what are you doing?

With her support, even though Sasori had a great chance of becoming Kazekage, he suddenly seemed to give up everything.

The Third Kazekage was quite satisfied with his successor, Rasa.

He took off the straw hat from his head.

"Next, we'll get to it."

Just as he was about to hand the straw hat to Rasa.

Suddenly, the sky burst into a yellow light.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

A colossal four-armed Buddha stands between heaven and earth.

Its outstretched wings blot out the sky and sun.

"Sharing blessings?"

Everyone stared at the figure with puzzlement.

"wrong."

Fengying's expression suddenly changed.

A red-haired youth slowly flew out from the enormous Dharma body, with an old wooden monk on his body, his arms outstretched.

"Human puppet!!!"

"scorpion!!?"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Sasori gazed indifferently down at the elite ninjas of the Kazekage Building, as well as the civilians and other ninjas below.

Since you won't use this power to distribute blessings.

Let Sasori use this power to take revenge on Konoha.

His voice slowly drifted out and reached everyone's ears.

"I want the position of Kazekage."

"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"
