Naruto: From Shikotsumyaku to Otsutsuki

Futsu-no-Mitama, also known as Futsu-no-Tsurugi, is the sword of Takemikazuchi.

It, along with the Totsuka Sword and the Ten-Fist Cloud Sword, is known as one of the three great divine swords of the mythological era.

The A-rank Storm Release technique developed by Kaguya Kazama was named after it, symbolizing its overwhelming attack power and its sharpness that can cut through everything.

This was only the first, somewhat immature, use.

The mountain was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

The nearly kilometer-long Thor's sword descended from the sky with overwhelming force.

There was no violent explosion, no burst of intense light.

As the extremely refined lightsaber slashed through the mountain, it was as if a hot knife was cutting through butter, leaving a sword mark that went straight into the ground.

The very tip of the sword mark was only a hundred meters away from Kurenai and her group.

When the terrifying sword light struck down, it was incredibly swift; they all thought they were about to be cleaved in two.

The physical terror prevented them from even making a move to escape.

After everything settled down, they could clearly see the sword mark that was about a meter wide, as well as the smooth, flat mountain walls on both sides.

If they had gotten any closer...

"Waaah..."

The ninja dog on Inuzuka's paw was the first to be so scared that it peed its pants.

It let out a terrified cry, tucked its tail between its legs, trembled all over, and a little urine dripped down the hair of its paws.

A fishy, ​​pungent smell filled my nostrils.

Inuzuka Tsurugi's body stiffened, his face showing not only horror but also intense shame and indignation at being urinated on.

"Gulp..."

Moonlight Gale couldn't help but swallow hard, his hand gripping the longsword trembling, his eyes filled with fear and relief.

"The mountain was cleaved in two? That sword is terrifying, how can it possess such power?"

As a special jonin proficient in Konoha-style swordsmanship and Crescent Moon Dance, Hayate Gekko's ability to appreciate swordsmanship is undoubtedly first-rate.

In his eyes, that attack was devoid of any skill, but in the face of absolute power, all techniques seemed pale and powerless.

He never imagined that the nearly kilometer-long lightsaber was actually a ninjutsu created by a ninja.

Previously, he pursued exquisite skills.

But now, his aspirations have wavered.

"If I were to use this sword to perform the Dance of the Crescent Moon..."

A longing for power flashed in his eyes.

Beside them, Kurenai and Asuma also stared wide-eyed at the figure floating in mid-air in the distance.

Their hands unconsciously clasped together, their fingers tightly interlocked, and their faces turned somewhat pale.

They were on guard, trying to suppress their fear, and after exchanging glances, they were filled with lingering fear and worry.

At that moment, the Jonin from Takigakure turned and ran without saying a word.

The sound of the Body Flicker Technique tearing through the air made Kurenai Yuhi open her mouth, but in the end she made the same choice.

"That person is not someone we can afford to mess with. Let's leave before he makes a move."

She made the decision to abandon the mission and left in a flash with Inuzuka Tsuru and Gekko Hayate.

Asma, on the other hand, was half a beat behind and was responsible for covering the rear.

He was an elite Jonin, the son of the Third Hokage, and Kurenai Yuhi's lover; no one was more suitable than him.

From a distance, Kaguya Kazama, perched high above, saw the fleeing group but paid them no heed.

"The people from Konoha and Takigakure? Give them a warning, and things should be peaceful for a few months afterward."

In the past few days, while he was developing his ninjutsu, he had already noticed that someone was watching from a distance.

The entire ninja world is divided into territories, and this place is no exception.

However, thanks to the power of Futsu-no-Mitama today, it must have left a deep impression on everyone. If Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't out of his mind, he probably won't send anyone here again.

He floated in mid-air, holding a lightsaber with flowing lightning patterns in his hand, and turned to look in the other direction.

"Kisame-sensei, how's my A-rank Storm Release technique?"

Kisame Hoshigaki, who couldn't fly, looked up at the boy in the sky and praised, "Very good. Your attack power far exceeds A-rank. Once you learn more ninjutsu and integrate them, you will definitely be able to advance to S-rank."

As he spoke, a hint of eagerness flickered in his eyes.

"Storm Release: Futsu-no-Mitama? The Thunder God's Sword? I really want to know whether your sword can cleave my shark or my shark can swallow your sword compared to my Great Shark Bullet."

......

The Land of Fields, the Village of Sound.

Orochimaru's mood has been very bad these past two days after receiving the warning from Danzo.

His immortality experiments require the assistance of many sophisticated medical devices.

Especially recently, he happened to obtain a very rare experimental material.

That was a rare individual who was born with the physique of an immortal and could autonomously absorb natural energy.

The runes on that person's body contained extremely powerful natural energy, which could enhance a person's combat power in all aspects.

He's been trying to figure out how to study those innate runes lately.

This kind of research requires very sophisticated instruments, and he specially ordered an extra batch from Danzo.

But to his surprise, just as the delivery date was approaching, he received a warning and a price increase notice from Danzo ahead of time.

These items were already quite valuable, and now their prices have inexplicably increased by 30%, putting Orochimaru in a cash crunch.

"Kaguya Kazama, what exactly did you do in Konoha to make Danzo so furious?"

He immediately began gathering intelligence on Konoha, but after some effort, he discovered that apart from the suicide of the Hyuga clan's branch head, there hadn't been any major developments.

But he didn't think it was a small matter that Danzo could warn him and punish him with a 30% price increase.

Something must have happened secretly in Konoha.

Orochimaru was very certain.

After thinking for a moment, he began to write an intelligence scroll, then bit his finger and began to use psychic magic.

A puff of smoke appeared, and a large, crimson snake emerged.

"Hiss... Lord Orochimaru?" The Red Serpent was very surprised to be summoned by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru tossed the intelligence scroll to Akazaya and said, "Go and deliver a letter to Kaguya Kazama, telling him that I need to get adequate compensation from him for my losses."

As expected, the red serpent swallowed the scroll whole and then exploded into smoke and disappeared.

Summoning beasts can locate their contractors through blood pacts, just as contractors can summon summoning beasts at any time; this is a relationship of mutual trust.

Furthermore, summoned beasts can perform reverse summoning techniques, summoning contracted individuals.

However, this reverse summoning technique has many limitations and requires a lot of preparation. The key is that the summoning beast needs to be able to form hand seals and perform ninjutsu.

In this respect, among all the summoning beast clans, apart from the toads of Mount Myōboku and the Vajra Ape Demon clan, none of the others can do it.

Unless one cultivates to the point of being able to transform their body, the Ryuchi Cave clan cannot perform ninjutsu by forming hand seals without fingers.

Watching the red serpent return to Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru glanced at the six Kaguya clan youths training outside and sneered:

"Since you've delayed my development of the Undying Reincarnation technique, then I'll give you guys a good workout first. After all, Kaguya Kazama said that as long as you don't die, it's fine."

He vanished in an instant, and soon after, the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling rang out outside.
