Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 158 The Mad Mikoto

Shennong scanned Natsume and the others.

However, one cannot judge true strength and identity based solely on appearance.

Zero-Tails is a physical monster composed of dark chakra, and it is also the power source for the Sky Country's fortress.

In any case, it must not fall into the hands of others.

"Who exactly are you all?"

Shennong asked, slightly puzzled, "Where did you learn about Zero-Tail from?"

"The Zero-Tails is not yours; it was created by you by stealing a technique from Konoha Village."

Natsume smiled, his tone full of sarcasm, "You are not worthy of being called Shennong."

Upon hearing this, Shennong's expression immediately turned resentful, and his eyes revealed undisguised murderous intent.

The destruction of the Hidden Void Village was related to the Second Shinobi World War, especially the Hidden Leaf Village.

His purpose in building the Sky Country fortress was to destroy the Five Great Nations and dominate the ninja world.

Once Natsume mentioned Konoha Village, it was already his enemy.

Not to mention he even mocked himself.

"Kill them!"

Shennong suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, numerous Sky Ninjas appeared all around, surrounding the group.

Uchiha Shisui and the others immediately became alert and entered battle mode.

"I think you should go and activate your fortress."

Natsume looked around. Although there were many Sky Ninjas, there were very few Jonin.

Uchiha Shisui could have solved them all by himself.

"Who exactly are you?"

Shennong's ferocious face paused slightly before he asked.

Like Zero Tail, the Sky Country Fortress is a top secret.

Few people in the Sky Ninja knew about it.

Even if Natsume is a ninja from Konoha, he should only know about the Zero-Tails at most, and it's impossible that he would know about the Sky Country Fortress.

Could there be a traitor among us?

A cold glint flashed in Shennong's eyes as he said, "Capture them alive."

He changed the order.

Once we capture them, we'll know all the answers.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ninjas around him pulled out a weapon that looked like a water gun.

After the trigger was pulled, several shuriken shot out of the barrel.

This is the shuriken launcher mentioned in the movie.

"spread."

Uchiha Shisui immediately gave the order, saying...

In such a narrow area, encountering air ninjas equipped with shuriken launchers would undoubtedly be dangerous.

He was naturally not afraid, but others might be.

Natsume also hid to the side.

His goal was not to kill them, but to get them to activate the Sky Kingdom Fortress.

This spectacle is a must-see.

Although Natsume can control them with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the acquisition of Fate Points will be somewhat affected.

Then take your time playing.

"Mikoto."

Natsume patted her head and said, "They're good practice targets for you. Kill them."

Uchiha Mikoto immediately stood obediently in front of him.

Because there are a lot of Sky Ninjas.

In addition, Natsume was clearly the leader, so he was facing two Jonin.

The young ninja formed hand seals and exhaled several streams of air composed of wind-style chakra from his mouth.

Another slightly older middle-aged ninja performed the same action, but instead unleashed a massive fireball.

The Uchiha clan's classic Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

It looks like Shennong stole it.

However, this ninjutsu is simple to begin with, and its users are far more than just Uchiha clan ninjas.

Mikoto Uchiha took a deep breath, still a little nervous.

As the clan chief's wife, she had never been to the battlefield.

Only during his time as a genin and chunin did he go out on missions and gain some combat experience.

But this was definitely the first time he had faced a Jonin.

To show respect, Mikoto Uchiha awakened her three-tomoe Sharingan.

Suddenly, the wind bullets that were originally moving at an extremely fast speed slowed down in her eyes.

Slow enough for her to dodge.

Thinking of this, Mikoto Uchiha made a few elegant movements and completely ignored the wind bullet.

She did not dodge the giant fireball.

She opened her mouth and spat out a large fireball.

"Sharingan?!"

The middle-aged man was utterly shocked.

The Uchiha clan is renowned throughout the entire ninja world.

The young man, Kong Ren, also showed an incredulous expression.

Wasn't it said that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out?

How did I end up in front of them?

For a moment, they felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

The Uchiha clan is famous because of their great strength.

The collision of the two fireballs produced countless sparks that scattered and instantly ignited in the surrounding area.

They were originally in a village.

The appearance of the flames alerted all the villagers.

But they were all ordinary people, and when faced with ninjas, they were forced to retreat.

Natsume raised an eyebrow, stomped his foot, and a hole appeared in the roof.

He jumped down and saw Shennong preparing to take away a red-haired girl.

"Put her down."

Natsume said in a calm tone.

"court death!"

Shennong immediately turned around, and his previously ordinary arm suddenly swelled up with explosive muscles, creating a sonic boom in the air.

This is the application of his forbidden medical technique: physical revitalization.

If this happened in a previous life, it would have driven countless people crazy.

You can have a perfect figure without working out.

With a bang.

Natsume gripped his fist tightly.

"impossible!"

Shennong was stunned for a moment, then started shouting wildly.

It's simply unbelievable that someone could block his fist with their bare hands when their body is activated.

Moreover, he could tell that Natsume was not using any chakra or ninjutsu, but simply physical strength.

In Shennong's mind, his forbidden medical techniques—physical activation and regeneration—could create the most powerful body in the world.

Now, however, it has somewhat collapsed.

"Nothing is impossible; you just haven't seen enough."

With a flick of his wrist, Natsume sent Shennong flying backward, crashing into the wall before finally coming to a stop after sliding several meters.

He stepped forward and shielded the unconscious Yu Liu.

According to this timeline, she contracted a strange illness that led to her isolation in the village.

After Shennong cured her, she devoted herself to him and even developed special feelings for him.

Natsume looked at the white-haired old man and couldn't help but shake his head.

Only in this ninja world would such a thing happen.

Shennong turned over and got up, and the wounds caused by the collision were gradually healing.

He looked much younger than before.

But after glancing at the air ninjas who were at a disadvantage, he suppressed his impulsive emotions and turned to leave.

Because he didn't have enough dark chakra at the moment, he had to stay inside the Sky Country fortress.

Natsume's punch just now made him realize that he might not be able to beat him.

"Shisui, follow him, remember his movements, but no matter what happens, do not intervene."

Natsume watched him leave and gave him instructions.

Uchiha Shisui immediately withdrew.

The battle was nearing its end.

The air ninjas themselves weren't very strong, and having given up their advantage of flight, their strength was further diminished.

In the end, only Uchiha Mikoto remained.

Natsume also stopped Uchiha Izumi and the others who wanted to help.

Although the two Jonin did not understand why, their only chance of survival was to capture Uchiha Mikoto.

The attack intensity has been increased again.

Wind Release: Pressure Damage!

The high-density wind suddenly exploded.

The house beneath their feet finally gave way and collapsed.

Amidst the rising dust, the middle-aged ninja suddenly appeared behind Uchiha Mikoto, wielding a short sword and aiming for her vitals.

With a clang.

The short sword was parried.

Under the latter's horrified gaze, Uchiha Mikoto kicked out, directly hitting his little finger.

A powerful force blossomed into a flower of blood.

The middle-aged man collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Natsume gasped.

Something is wrong!

With his help, did Mikoto Uchiha develop some kind of mental problem?

She was quite well-behaved in front of him.

Well, not all of them are well-behaved; they can get quite wild at night.

It's that kind of feeling where you have no strength left, but you still fight desperately, trying to squeeze out the last bit of potential from your body.

Afterwards, they all had to lie in bed for a long time.

Having lost the middle-aged Kong Ren, only the young Kong Ren remains.

He wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

After all, Uchiha Izumi and the others had already surrounded him.

With so many Sharingan eyes watching him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and kill Uchiha Mikoto.

However, under such pressure, he lost his usual level of performance.

Mikoto Uchiha tilted her head, then instantly appeared behind him using Body Flicker Technique, plunging a kunai into his kidney.

After the young man screamed in agony, she threw another punch, smashing his head open.

Blood splattered on her.

Uchiha Mikoto, however, felt a sense of freedom that she hadn't experienced in a long time.

She has been under a lot of stress lately.

The Uchiha clan is made up of fanatical madmen.

She didn't have this feeling before because she was weaker.

But as she got closer to the Mangekyou Sharingan, her original personality began to change slightly.

Once released, he will fall into a certain mental state, just like the other members of the Uchiha clan.

Mikoto Uchiha snapped out of her daze, her expression suddenly softening.

She walked up to Natsume and said, "I...I have completed your task."

"Hmm, well done."

When Natsume saw that she had returned to her original appearance, he immediately felt a sense of unease.

But thinking about it more carefully, it seems pretty good.

Be gentle when you need to be gentle, and be crazy when you need to be crazy.

He suspects this may be related to Mikoto Uchiha's upcoming awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, it is a so-called art of depicting the soul.

"Izumi, let's clean up the battlefield."

Natsume casually pointed to the villagers in the distance and said, "Let's also clear their memories."

He doesn't want the Sharingan to reappear in the public eye for the time being.

"yes!"

Uchiha Izumi and the remaining eight people immediately dispersed.

"To be honest, I'm a little curious."

Natsume reached out and wiped the blood from Mikoto Uchiha's face. "If you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, would you kill me?"

The first sword strike after landing is to kill the one you love.

"Won't!"

Mikoto Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly shook her head.

"The Uchiha clan has always worshipped power."

Natsume pinched her cheek and said, "Let me show you the limits of power."

Mikoto Uchiha raised her head and glanced at him, but quickly lowered her head again.

Actually, she hadn't thought about killing Natsume before, but after he reminded her, she did start to consider it.

If given the chance, Mikoto Uchiha felt she would make her move.

After all, she had received far too much during this period, so much that it caused her to break down multiple times.

Natsume wasn't surprised.

Because Mikoto Uchiha doesn't like him now.

Perfect timing! Let's take this opportunity to leave a lasting impression on her.

Natsume looked at Amurei.

She was still unconscious, her whole body wrapped in bandages, and she smelled strongly of medicine.

In the theatrical version, there is almost no description of her ninjutsu skills; she is simply a plot device.

However, judging from her apprenticeship under Shennong, she should possess certain talents as a medical ninja.

At least he's a character in the story.

Natsume thought for a moment and decided to hand it over to Ena Uzumaki for management.

Talents can be exchanged, and having multiple medical ninjas is also useful.

If not, then go to work or take a job.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

Natsume carried her to the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Waves, and after speaking with Uzumaki Ena, he returned to the Land of Sky.

Because of your actions, Yu Liu's fate has changed; you have gained 49 points of Fate Value.

Because of your actions, Shennong's fate has changed; you have gained seven points of Fate Value.

Okay.

After all, Shennong will contribute more Fate Points next.

Natsume casually picked up a shuriken launcher.

It wasn't as sophisticated as I'd imagined, or rather, it wasn't a purely industrial product; it was a chakra weapon.

Ordinary people still cannot use it.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The ninja world doesn't have high-precision equipment, nor does it have the idea of ​​serving ordinary people, so how could it create machinery?

If it relies on chakra to drive it, then the shuriken launcher is not that useful.

This reminded him of the chakra armor from the Land of Snow, which, comparatively, provides a greater boost to ordinary ninjas.

After waiting for Uchiha Izumi and the others to finish dealing with the situation, Natsume walked towards the ruins not far away.

This site is actually the building atop the Sky Kingdom's fortress.

Its true form is located underground.

It has to be said that the technology in the ninja world is rather unconventional.

Judging from the movie, this Sky Country fortress is no smaller than the Tailed Beasts.

Logically speaking, something so enormous must have enormous costs and technological capabilities.

Even the five major villages might not be able to pull it off, but the Hidden Void Village did.

No wonder Shennong boasted about destroying the five great nations, and then... he encountered Naruto Uzumaki.

Natsume realized that the villains in Naruto actually had quite a few dreams.

To put it another way, everyone wants to unify the ninja world.

However, Hashirama Senju, who was initially the most likely candidate, abandoned this idea and instead opted for a system of fiefdoms.

No, it should be said that the score was even more outrageous, it was called a tie in the ninja world.

Great Sage!

His successor, Naruto Uzumaki, also showed this tendency.

Perhaps this is the effect of Ashura's chakra.

At this moment, in the Sky Kingdom's fortress.

Shennong fled frantically all the way back to the control room, where he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat on the throne he had built for himself.

Zero-Tails was in the sealing chamber beneath him, providing him with a continuous supply of dark chakra.

With this power, he would not fear anyone.

But we're still a bit short of activating the Sky Kingdom Fortress.

A ruthless glint flashed in Shennong's eyes.

He originally intended to use the people of Amurei Village as nourishment for his dark chakra, but now he has no choice but to sacrifice a few Sky Ninja.

If we defeat Natsume and the others, everything can be made up for.

Not far away, Uchiha Shisui concealed his presence and kept recording his actions.

Soon after, he summoned twenty Sky Ninjas and led them to the power room.

"Go in."

Shennong opened the iron gate and said.

"Lord Shennong, what's wrong...?"

The air ninjas looked at each other, and a slight disturbance had already begun.

They all knew what the prison behind the door was used for.

Providing dark chakra means turning it into nourishment, which can lead to death.

Shennong offered no explanation and swiftly sent them to prison.

Some people tried to resist, but it was no use; they were knocked unconscious.

Shennong selected only genin and chunin, whose strength was no match for him.

"Lord Shennong! Help!"

"No! Don't!"

"Damn bastard!"

Shennong listened to the various curses and insults, but instead showed a satisfied expression.

Dark chakra originates from the dark power deep within people's hearts, which is negative emotion.

"That's it, hate me, fall into darkness!"

Shennong laughed wildly, turned and left the power room, returning to his throne.

To be more precise, it was standing in front of a giant circular switch.

He crouched down, channeled dark chakra into it, and the disc shifted, immediately revealing the whereabouts of Natsume and the others.

"Let me show you my ultimate masterpiece! A super fortress powerful enough to destroy the five great nations!"

Shennong revealed a resentful and smug expression and said.

He could have defeated them using the Eight Gates Formation combined with his forbidden medical techniques.

But having just been humiliated, he wanted to hold a more grand funeral for them.

Shennong stood up again, formed hand seals, and various spells flashed with light, landing on the disc.

"Awaken, Ankerbandian!"

As he roared wildly, the entire building began to tremble.

Uchiha Shisui felt a chill run down his spine; this situation seemed quite serious.

Destroying the five great powers sounds intimidating.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still stood by and did nothing.

Natsume's order was that no matter what happened, he should not take action.

Shennong looked up at the sky and roared.

His coat was torn, and his hair was blown upwards by the strong airflow.

At the same time, his exposed skin twitched and instantly transformed into a super muscular man.

He transformed from a frail old man into a middle-aged man with six-pack abs.

Uchiha Shisui was somewhat dumbfounded.

What kind of ninjutsu is this that can achieve such a rejuvenating effect?

But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

He felt that the building he was in was rising into the sky.

From the outside, Natsume could see much more clearly.

Those ruins buried deep in the earth have revealed their true nature as the soil has crumbled.

After a short while, it rose higher and higher, eventually floating up.

"What...is this?"

Mikoto Uchiha opened her mouth, her face showing considerable surprise.

"Aerial Fortress. A super weapon built by the former Sky Ninja, capable of unleashing attacks comparable to Tailed Beast Balls."

Natsume explained it to her, then asked with a smile, "Isn't it pretty scary?"

Mikoto Uchiha's expression changed.

In the minds of many ninjas, the tailed beasts are the most powerful chakra creatures.

The Tailed Beast Ball is an attack even more ferocious than an S-rank ninjutsu.

No one can stop it.

"How about we...?"

Mikoto Uchiha's personality never fully changed.

Furthermore, ninjas do not have the concept that they must fight to the death.

Even during a mission, one can temporarily retreat when danger is encountered.

In Mikoto Uchiha's view, even the Mangekyou Sharingan was powerless against such an aerial fortress.

After all, ninjutsu and eye techniques have lost their effectiveness, and ninjutsu is no longer effective due to insufficient range.

Even if we could hit it, such a large aerial fortress would be nothing more than a tickle.

Uchiha Izumi also agreed with her suggestion, nodding solemnly.

The rest of the Uchiha ninjas, needless to say.

People will die.

After all, apart from Uchiha Shisui, none of the people here had actually seen Natsume's Wood Release.

Five thousand words.
