Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 432 New Powerful One, Wood (Two Chapters Combined)

Kinoshita looked the old man up and down. He was a ninja wearing a headband from Takigakure, and he looked like an ordinary old man with a hunched back, and there was not much trace of ninja training.

It's also possible that he misjudged the situation; concealing one's strength is an essential skill for ninjas.

Some may appear frail, but the strength they can display could be devastating.

Kino then looked at the little girl next to her.

She had short, blue-green hair, wore a little white dress, and had orange pupils. Her big eyes blinked as she looked at Mu Zhi with curiosity.

Unlike the deathly silence of other Takigakure ninjas, there is only a childlike curiosity about everything in the world.

But looking at the little girl, he felt a slight sense of unease.

Wood's eyes shone with a deep blue light.

Eye Technique! Water Eyes!

They possess an eye technique that allows them to see through the flow of blood in the human body, and they can also sense the flow of chakra, but if the amount is small, they cannot accurately detect it.

But the chakra within this little girl's body.

The intense and dense chakra was impossible to ignore.

Chatonla.

"Name."

Mu Zhi casually shifted his gaze to the old man, adopting a businesslike demeanor.

"Fukami is a genin from Takigakure."

The old man, his voice tinged with the weariness of time, tugged at the little girl beside him.

"This is my granddaughter, Fu. She's only three years old and not a ninja yet."

Fu looked up at Bu Shou. She could feel Bu Shou's nervousness; his hand, which was holding hers, was covered in sweat.

In the end, she just lowered her head, unsure how to comfort the old man.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Mu Zhi lowered his head and slowly took notes in the book.

"We plan to find a stable place, open a shop, and live a stable life."

"I'll speak slowly," Bu Shou said.

Just then, Yahiko arrived with a group of people.

"Kino, how is it?"

Fushou became visibly nervous, with beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. He reached for his ninja tool pouch, but managed to restrain himself.

"Lord Yahiko."

Kino hurriedly stood up, as if to salute Yahiko.

next moment.

Yahiko suddenly drew his sword, and the blade transformed into a water dragon that quickly wrapped around Fushin.

Four ninjas appeared at the same time next to Fu, and all four of them placed their hands on the ground.

"The Four Symbols Seal!"

Four black sealing spells shot out from their hands and quickly wrapped around Fu's body along the ground.

"ah!!"

Fu let out a scream, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.

Their sudden attack was swift and ruthless, leaving the grandfather and grandson with no time to react.

"What are you doing?!"

Bushou struggled and roared, but he was entangled by the water dragon and couldn't even put up a fight.

"A Jinchūriki, huh?"

Kino looked at Fushou with a smile on his face. He had already passed on the message after he noticed something was wrong.

That's why Yahiko arrived.

Fushou was still making a last-ditch effort: "What did you say?! What Jinchūriki?!"

Looking at the struggling Bushou, Mu Zhi sighed: "Since we chose to take action, we have already made our decision."

At this point, no amount of explanation will help.

If she weren't a Jinchūriki, how could a little girl have such abundant chakra?

Fushou fell silent, and finally looked at Fu, who was being picked up by the suddenly appearing Konan.

"She is innocent."

"She knows nothing."

Becoming a Jinchūriki was bad enough, but if Fu fell into the hands of the Land of Rain, he couldn't even imagine what she would encounter.

"Don't worry, we will treat him well."

Kino comforted him, though Fushou didn't seem to believe it.

The fate of Jinchuriki is to be used as weapons, and Fushou doesn't believe any ninja village would treat Jinchuriki kindly.

All I could do was pray silently for Fu in my heart.

"It seems she is a very happy child."

Konan carried the unconscious Fu over and said to Fushou.

"At least someone cares about her."

"Don't worry, as long as you're okay, you can still meet."

"The Land of Rain is different."

Fushou lowered his head, completely disbelieving their words. Having lived through the years, he had no trust in the ninjas' words whatsoever, but it was truly the case that he had already...

I no longer have the strength to protect her.

Kino was accompanied by medical personnel and some members of the Akatsuki army.

In the middle are a group of Takigakure ninjas with their hands tied, being dragged forward.

The ninjas of Takigakure were filled with despair. With their country destroyed and their village wiped out, everything they had fought for had vanished, and they didn't even know their future fate.

A little boy, showing no fear of the Rain Country ninjas, walked straight to the side of the leader, Wood.

Seeing that the other person was just a child, these people didn't care at all.

The little boy looked up at Mu Zhi with a hint of stubbornness and asked.

"What will we ultimately face?"

Kino's eyes darted downwards and saw that the little boy's wrists were bleeding from the rope, but he hadn't cried out in pain yet.

He remembered the little boy.

"Your name is Shibuki, right?"

The little boy said, craning his neck.

"It was me. You've already won, so there's no need for you to lie to us anymore."

The Hidden Takigakure village no longer exists, and they need to know the fate of those who lived there.

Kino stroked his chin.

"It's up to you to choose: either become an ordinary resident of the Land of Rain, or join the army and continue being a ninja. The Land of Rain isn't as scary as you imagine."

He had traveled to many countries, but nowhere else was as fair and happy as the Land of Rain.

At the very least, those benefits are enough for a person to live a stable life in the Land of Rain.

The premise is that they are not too lazy.

Looking at Kino's face, Shibuki saw that indifferent attitude, and there was no hint of lying.

Is that really the case?

He carried a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Turning to look at the numb-faced ninjas of Takigakure, they were all filled with fear for their future.

Even a sliver of hope is good.

The procession is moving forward.

Kino looked at the flowers blooming along the road ahead; spring had arrived.

And there's a lush forest not far away.

Carrying the warm spring breeze.

just.

"It's too quiet."

Kino raised her hand, stopping the group from moving forward.

The medical team behind them quickly went on alert.

"grown ups."

Xiaojun and Hongmei stepped forward and looked at Muzhi with confusion, not understanding why they had suddenly stopped.

Mu Zhi didn't look at him.

Instead, his hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals.

"Wind Release: Hurricane Slash!"

Mu Zhi raised one hand and quickly brought it down, unleashing a whirlwind.

The whirlwind quickly grew larger, transforming into a massive tornado that swept rapidly forward.

The entire forest was swept up by the tornado.

At the same time, those who were hiding could no longer hide and their figures were revealed.

One by one, figures wearing green vests appeared and blocked their way.

"The ninjas of Konoha".

Especially the man standing at the very front.

He wore a blue ninja hat, had a thick beard, and was dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit, covered with green Jonin chainmail.

"Bold Body Mimura Yomaki"

Mimura Yoru.

He was a titled ninja of Konoha, but his fame did not come from the war. Instead, it came from completing numerous S-rank missions and earning the praise of his enemies.

Modern warfare is no longer the kind of war where everyone fights together; it's now about watching a few monsters battle.

Without the third level of strength, no one will even give you a second glance.

The good news is that the man in front of them is a pure physical-type ninja.

"The Land of Rain and Trees".

Mimura Yoru clearly recognized Kino's identity. Although the other party was not very active, any news from the Land of Rain needed to be observed carefully.

They even need to figure out how many mosquitoes are inside; people from other villages probably know more about the Land of Rain than the locals do.

Learn about reading comprehension from multiple perspectives.

"It is truly an honor to be remembered by the titled ninjas of Konoha."

Mu Zhi slowly drew the long sword from his waist.

Mimura Yoru tilted her head, her black metallic skin constantly surging up her body.

Armament Haki.

"I cannot stand by and watch you destroy other people's countries like this."

He cannot stand idly by and watch such atrocities occur.

Mimura Yoru leaned forward.

Kino also spoke to the red plum beside her.

"Defense with all your might."

"yes!"

As Hongmei's voice faded.

Kino and Mimura Yomaki charged at each other, Kino's sword clashing with the other's arm.

It emitted metallic sparks.

Mimura Yomi slammed her other fist down hard on Kino.

Overlord Fist.

He concentrates all his Armament Haki into a single punch and unleashes it with all his might, causing extremely high damage.

The air wave was hit by a punch to Mu Zhi's chest first.

"Fly, bullet!"

A low murmur rang out.

"when!!"

Mimura Yomi's sudden punch was blocked by a weapon.

"I'm actually quite resistant to melee combat."

With a slight smile, Mu Zhi produced a black pistol in each hand and kicked Mimura Yoru with all his might, using the recoil to flip backward.

Mimura Yomi was kicked and took two steps back.

At the same time, Mu Zhi had already steadied himself, and his two pistols were aimed at his opponent.

Wind Release: Wind Bullet!

The left-hand pistol fired a highly condensed air bullet.

Fire Release: Fireball!

The right-hand gun fired high-intensity flame bullets.

The two bullets intertwined, transforming into a violent burst of flame.

The battle lasted only a moment.

Fire and air barrage!

It instantly engulfed Mimura Yoru and the forest behind him.

A powerful attack completely destroyed a forest on the surface.

Only the raging winds swept outside.

These years have not been wasted; now his strength is enough to be called Kage-level.

Out of the corner of his eye, Mu saw the Konoha ninjas retreating in disarray.

Clearly, these people acted on a whim and did not have the strength to launch a surprise attack.

Although medics are afraid of death, it doesn't mean they have no fighting ability.

The dust settled.

Mimura Yoru, with her black metallic skin, was looking at Kino and dusting herself off.

"That's all there is to it."

Mu Zhi curled his lip, and the two pistols in his hands glowed white and transformed into a long sword at his waist.

They actually gave up the fight.

"Everyone, let's go back."

Mimura Yomaki also extended her hand, making a gesture of waiting.

The Konoha ninja instantly appeared behind Mimura Yoru.

The Rain Army resumed its original formation and, led by Mu Zhi, slowly advanced forward.

The Konoha ninja watched as the Rain Army's medical corps slowly advanced.

Looking at the motionless Mimura Yomi, he was filled with doubt.

Why did you stop fighting now?

"puff!"

Mimura Yoru coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground.

"That guy is very strong."

His face was solemn. The opponent had rendered him incapacitated with just two shots. They had no strong enough to stand up to him.

"What a show-off."

Mu Zhi pursed his lips as he walked along the road. His opponent couldn't even withstand one of his attacks, so there was no point in continuing the fight.

"Why don't you kill them, sir?"

Hongmei asked curiously.

"After all, they are from Konoha."

Kino shrugged. The Daimyo still valued Konoha quite a bit, and he didn't want to provoke the Daimyo to target him because of this.

That guy is really petty.

To return from the Land of Waterfalls to the Land of Rain, they needed to traverse the entire Land of Grass. After several days of travel, the group finally arrived back in the Land of Rain.

Uryu, along with the other ninjas from the medical corps, accepted these prisoners from Takigakure.

Just as the two were making contact.

Yulong said to Muzhi meaningfully.

"Your application has been approved."

The smile on Mu Zhi's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

"Have you come down yet?"

His voice sounded somewhat wistful.

Yulong patted Muzhi on the shoulder.

"I hope to see you again."

"I hope so."

A hint of melancholy crossed Mu Zhi's face.

Black Tower.

The place where Kakuzu and Hanzo once ascended to the third level is also one of the characteristics of the Land of Rain today.

It is also the only way for the Land of Rain to advance in its current status.

Many people went in with high hopes, but to this day, not a single one has come out alive.

Promotions don't come without a price.

However, each use of the Black Tower requires a huge amount of financial and material resources, and it cannot be activated every time.

Even with such a high failure rate, people are still signing up in droves.

Mu Zhi was one of the applicants, and his ranking was announced today.

"Medical officer, Kinoshita, didn't you just get back today?"

The sealing army ninja guarding the black tower asked Muji curiously.

"Aren't you going to go in again?"

Everyone else who comes here has fully rested and prepared.

And then it failed.

"No need, all that preparation is the same."

Mu Zhi smiled.

Regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he was already prepared and stepped into the Black Tower.

The tower keeper shook his head and sighed.

So far, apart from the two legion commanders, no third person has succeeded. Judging from the way Mu Zhi chose to do so, it doesn't seem like he can succeed.

As if entering water, the wood gradually merged into the black tower.

Soon the light from the black building grew brighter and brighter.

A burst of fire shot into the sky from the top floor.

And bursts of natural forces began to appear.

A fierce wind began to blow from all sides, hurtling towards the black tower.

The black tower was like a funnel, sucking in all the surrounding gales.

With the influx of natural energy, the natural energy in the surrounding space decreased significantly.

The pillar of light remained undiminished, as if it had stood between heaven and earth itself.

"This...this is..." The tower guard exclaimed in amazement at the scene before him. This was not the scene that would have happened to the losers in the past.

Daming Mansion.

Jin pushed open the window and looked at the pillar of flames on the black tower in the distance.

A violent beam of light shot into the sky.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"In the great sifting of sand, there will always be a piece of gold that shines."

There will always be someone who can surpass the so-called main characters and supporting characters.
