In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 77 Beautiful Back Burning Yekura

Payne frowned and asked, "Be more specific."

Qianye began to spout nonsense with a straight face:

"The first type is 'talking it out.' Simply put, it involves using language to make the deceased resist, thereby freeing them from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation and allowing their soul to ascend to heaven."

"However, this method has many limitations. First, the deceased must be powerful enough."

"Then there are those who use their persuasive skills, but if they're not careful, they might anger the deceased."

"Furthermore, as the Impure World Reincarnation technique continues to improve, the chances of being hit by talk-no-jutsu will gradually decrease. You never know, they might attack while you're talking. In short, talk-no-jutsu is extremely risky, so don't try it lightly unless absolutely necessary."

"The second method is genjutsu, which uses powerful genjutsu similar to the Sharingan to control the user and force them to voluntarily cancel the Impure World Reincarnation. This method is the simplest and most convenient."

"The third method is to strip away the soul. Perhaps only a leader can do this. During my time in Konoha, I once sneaked into the archives and looked through the Second Hokage's notes. I saw records about the Rinnegan, which vaguely described several of its abilities."

"One of them is soul-snatching. It can pull a person's soul directly out of their body. Just think about it, if the soul is gone, the person is definitely dead."

"As for the last item, Yin-Yang Escape," Qianye glanced at the Black and White Duo with interest and continued:

"Unlike Yin Release techniques such as genjutsu, and Yang Release techniques such as medical ninja techniques."

"Yin-Yang Escape is a combination of the two."

"The Second Hokage's notes record that Yin-Yang Release contains both creative and destructive abilities. It is said to be a secret technique unique to the Sage of Six Paths, capable of nullifying all ninjutsu. Even reanimated bodies cannot resist it, and once hit, the body cannot heal. In severe cases, it can even cause the body to be reduced to ashes."

"Looking across the entire ninja world, I have never seen anyone use this technique."

"Because it is almost impossible for a person to possess both Yin and Yang chakra attributes at the same time, and even if they do, there is no way to combine these two chakra attributes."

There are two more things he didn't mention: if the deceased knows about the hand seals used in the spell, the deceased can break the summoning contract with the summoner and escape control.

In addition, there's his Zanpakuto, which can completely slay the killer.

Upon hearing this, the entire audience fell silent, a deathly stillness descending upon the room.

No one expected that such a secret technique existed in the ninja world.

After a long pause, Pain spoke first, breaking the silence in the room, "This matter ends here. From now on, keep an eye on Orochimaru's actions. He is not a guy who can stand still. As long as he is alive, he will definitely make a move."

"That guy was really troublesome. He actually learned the ninjutsu to revive the dead. If it weren't for Brother Chiya, we would have been in danger this time, hmm," Deidara remarked.

"Speaking of immortality, there's one here too," Konan continued the conversation.

Payne explained, "It's a request from the Hidden Hot Springs Village. They said a serial killer has appeared. They asked us to go and eliminate him."

Kakuzu asked with some surprise, "Doesn't Yugakure have ninjas?"

"They can't kill him. It's said that he was the only successful case of an experiment on immortality by a once-popular evil cult. But whether it was a reincarnation is still to be verified," Xiao Nan replied.

"Now let's talk about the personnel distribution. Sasori and Deidara, you two will continue to recruit new members with Chiya using the Scorch Release: Pakura. Zetsu will inform you of the ambush location in Kirigakure. As for Kakuzu, Konan and Itachi will accompany him. Disperse!"

After saying that, Payne dispelled the illusionary body technique.

"What a bossy guy. By the way, Brother Qianye, are the leader's eyes really that powerful? They can actually steal a person's soul."

Upon opening his eyes, Deidara, like a curious child, couldn't wait to ask Chiya a question.

"After all, it's an eye that only the Sage of Six Paths is said to possess, so it's not surprising that it has such abilities. However, I've never seen it myself, so I have no way of verifying its specific abilities. After all, who would be so foolish as to go and fight against the Rinnegan?"

Qianye made up a story.

"That's true. Hmm, to be able to strip a person of their soul and kill them in an instant, hmm, it seems the leader is also an artist. Hmm." Deidara nodded in deep agreement.

"Alright, stop talking to yourselves. If we're late, that woman from Sunagakure will be finished." Sasori said impatiently.

"I understand, I understand." Deidara said, summoning two giant clay birds.

They flew to the Land of Water with Chiya and Sasori.

The Land of Wind is neither too close nor too far from the Land of Water.

Carried by Deidara's clay giant bird, Chiya and his companions traveled across the Land of Fire and several surrounding countries in less than a day to reach the Land of Water and reunite with Zetsu.

"They've finally arrived. Looks like we made it in time." Black Zetsu murmured to himself as he watched the giant bird fly overhead.

A moment later, the giant bird landed, and Chiya, Deidara, and Sasori jumped off its back one after another.

"How's it going, Sixth Brother? Has Brother Chiyo's partner, that guy named...Cang, arrived yet?" Deidara formed a hand seal with his right hand, put away the Nendoroid Asuka, and asked Black Zetsu in Chiyo's tone.

"We should arrive before sunset. The people from Kirigakure are already lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain path below, just waiting for Yekura to arrive," Black Zetsu replied, his voice as hoarse and deep as ever.

"Oh? This is a good place for an ambush. It's surrounded by mountains on two sides. If a large number of ninjas are ambushed on the mountains and lured in unsuspectingly, they can be riddled with holes by shuriken and kunai alone."

Looking at the numerous Hidden Mist Village ninjas lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain path below, Chiya said thoughtfully.

He vaguely remembered that in the original story, Yekura was ambushed in this very place and riddled with hundreds of shuriken and kunai.

Scorpion glanced at the mountain path below, clicked his tongue, turned to look at Qianye, and asked, "What do you plan to do? Should we go kill them now?"

"We don't need to do anything. If we act rashly, Yekura might suspect us of having ulterior motives. Only when Yekura fully sees the darkness of Sunagakure will she possibly side with us. Until then, we just need to wait for the right moment and strike at the most crucial instant."

Qianye shook his head, took out a wind chime hat, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

Not long after, around dusk, a woman appeared outside the mountain path.

She was dressed in a black backless outfit, but her chest was covered very conservatively. She wore a sand-covered headband, and her hair was styled into a bun. Her bangs were an unusual orange-yellow color, which contrasted sharply with her dark green long hair.

What is most eye-catching is her fair back and full breasts, which are comparable to those of Mrs. Mikoto.
