The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

With so many explosive tags, aren't you afraid the Third Kazekage's body will be blown to pieces?

Such a strange kind of trust? Believing that the Third Kazekage could withstand such a violent explosion.

Sure enough, after the explosion, the Third Kazekage appeared in the smoke and dust, panting heavily.

Feeling the injuries on his body and the toxins in his body, the Third Kazekage gave a bitter smile.

The mighty Kazekage is about to be ambushed and killed by a little kid. It's truly tragic.

"Shouldn't those guys over there come out by now?"

The Third Kazekage shouted in the direction of Maga.

"Huh? Did you notice? As expected, I'm still not good at tracking, or rather, tracking at the Kage level is too difficult."

"Magga!"

The Third Kazekage and Sasori clearly knew Maka, and were quite surprised to see this otaku here.

Ma Jia looked embarrassed.

"Hehe...you guys carry on, I'm just here to watch the show, I promise I won't make a move, and I'll keep my mouth shut, I won't let anyone know."

After saying that, Maga-ti disappeared using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

"Space-time ninjutsu!"

Ignoring his injuries, the Third Kazekage cried out.

Who would have thought that their village was hiding a ninja who had mastered space-time ninjutsu?

Scorpion was also an accident, but since the other party is hiding so well, they must have some ulterior motive, so they probably won't meddle in other people's business.

There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released, and Sasori has no chance to regret it. At this point, all he can do is pray that Maga won't interfere.

He manipulated the puppet to attack the Third Kazekage.

At this point, Scorpion's powerful puppets had been almost completely destroyed, and the puppet he was using now was a substandard one that he had made in his spare time.

The Third Kazekage was severely injured by the explosion of numerous explosive tags and had to suppress the toxins in his body. These puppets were actually able to fight alongside the Third Kazekage.

"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that the mighty Shadow would be entangled by such a few trash puppets."

Maga used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave, and the next instant, he was back on the battlefield.

The two fighters were clearly helpless against Maga.

The Third Kazekage had hoped that the hidden person could save his life, or at the very least, he could find a chance to escape if he clashed with Sasori.

He was utterly devastated when he discovered that the other party was Maka, a ninja from his own village, and that the other party also possessed space-time ninjutsu.

This guy won't let him go back alive.

Since Maga has used a space-time ninjutsu, he shouldn't be letting them go back.

In the current ninja world, aside from storage techniques used by puppeteers to store puppets, only Tsuchishi truly possesses the ability to teleport.

And that piece of earth and stone belonged to a rogue ninja from Iwagakure!

Now, the Third Kazekage believes that Tsuchishi is a rogue ninja and not putting on an act. Moreover, Tsuchishi and this Maga may very well know each other!

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

Feeling his body growing weaker and weaker, the Third Kazekage felt a wave of despair.

"Iron Sand Rain"

One last gamble!

Completely allowing the toxin to spread, the Third Kazekage began to fight for his life.

The sand and iron gathered together, forming countless fine needles that were fired towards the scorpion.

As if he had anticipated this, Scorpion released several enormous puppets to block his way.

Despite being called a massive puppet, it was actually just a shield made of various materials, and its movements were definitely quite sluggish. However, it played a remarkable role in blocking the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Rain.

"Giant Iron Needle"

Seeing that his Iron Sand Rain was blocked by several "inferior" puppets, the Third Kazekage decisively unleashed the more penetrating Iron Sand Giant Needle.

The iron spear pierced through the puppet.

Scorpion was not harmed. He had already used the puppet to block the rain of iron sand while it was blocking him.

"It's like a battle that was completely planned, a sure-kill trap set up against the Third Kazekage."

No, this is it!

Ma Jia watched with great interest.

The fuse that ignited the Third Shinobi World War, a secret unknown to others, had been revealed to him just like that, and Maka felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"That's about enough, let's go back."

Ma Jia came out this time to see this battle and resolve some doubts in his mind. Now that he has achieved his goal, he naturally will not linger any longer.

As for whether Scorpion will reveal his secrets, well, not likely.

Sasori's mind was still on the puppets. After obtaining the Third Kazekage's body, he had no time to care about Maga. His most important task was to study human puppets.

"The Third Kazekage has been killed by Sasori, and the Third Shinobi World War is imminent."

Upon returning, Ma Jia immediately used the Annihilation and Resurrection Technique to transmit the message to his original body.

After receiving the memories, Uchiha Kiyoshi's main body transmitted the message to his other clones.

......

Is World War III coming?

In a forest in the Land of Fire, Tu Shi looked at the clump of medicine in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Sigh, it still hasn't improved things. Scorpion was too impatient, making his move so early. Although there are still a few months before the war really breaks out, I should start preparing."

Leaf.

While instructing Rin on the technique of extracting minor ailments, Hui suddenly gained a memory—a message transmitted from his main body through his shadow clone. After composing himself, Hui handed Rin the last remaining materials on the technique and said, "Alright, that's all for the technique of extracting minor ailments. It requires constant practice; it can't be mastered overnight." Though he said this, Hui knew in his heart that Rin would probably learn it very quickly. Once war broke out, there would be many wounded, and Rin would have plenty of opportunities to practice.

After teaching Lin, Hui returned to his residence.

"Accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs, provide soil and stones, and refine Qi-restoring pills. These will be of great use in war."

Across the ninja world, Uchiha Kiyoshi's clones began to take action.

"The third war is coming."

The Third Shinobi World War

Chapter 248 The Great Toad Sage Falls into a Deep Sleep

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage caused quite a stir among the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure. However, this was a top secret of Sunagakure, and apart from the high-ranking officials, the murderer, and Maga, who was just an observer, no one knew about the Third Kazekage's disappearance.

However, secrets can't stay hidden forever. The Sand Village can only delay for a month at most. Even if they don't receive any news after a month, the spies from the other ninja villages will become suspicious because they haven't seen the Third Kazekage for a long time.

Mt. Miaomu.

While Sunagakure was in unprecedented anxiety, Mount Myōboku, one of the three great sacred sites of the ninja world, presented a completely different picture.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the area is peaceful and serene.

Of course, this is ignoring the giant toads.

Minato Namikaze was sitting cross-legged atop the most energy-rich peak of Mount Myōboku, quietly sensing something.

"boom!"

With one blow, Minato Namikaze winced in pain.

"It still doesn't work, Minato. When fusing Sage Chakra, there must be no natural energy leakage. Try to reduce the amount of natural energy you absorb."

A giant toad, wielding a large club, offered a suggestion to Minato Namikaze.

Jiraiya sighed from afar, "Sigh, is it still not working? Minato has been practicing Sage Mode for a while now, but he's stuck at this step. If this continues, even if he learns Sage Mode in the future, his preparation time will definitely be longer than mine, which will make his performance in actual combat much worse."

Jiraiya, who had experienced it firsthand, understood best the pain of having to spend a lot of time preparing before each use of Sage Mode.

After Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and combined it with his Body Flicker Technique and other techniques to gain immense power, Jiraiya discovered Minato's shortcomings.

His attack was too weak. Although Minato's attack was already quite powerful compared to Jonin level, his future enemies wouldn't be Jonin, but Kage-level. If he continued like this, even if Minato could suppress his opponent when facing a Kage, he wouldn't be able to completely kill them due to a lack of finishing moves. This lack of attack power is why, in later generations, Minato Namikaze was able to kill more than fifty ninjas in an instant, but never managed to kill a single Kage-level ninja.

Therefore, Jiraiya thought of Sage Mode and brought his disciple Minato to Mount Myōboku. Unfortunately, after training for so long, he had completed the process of sensing chakra, but he was stuck on the last step and could not use Sage Mode.

"Sigh. This is the only way for now."

The next few years will be tough. The situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly dire, and war is inevitable. This is one of the reasons why Jiraiya was so eager to bring Minato Namikaze over to train in Sage Mode.

Unfortunately, the goal was not achieved.

Jiraiya knew that if Minato continued training, he would also be able to master Sage Mode. Although it had many shortcomings, it was still very powerful. You have to know that in the past thousand years, there have been very few ninjas who have mastered Sage Mode. Most of the time, there might not be a single ninja who has mastered Sage Mode in an entire era.

"Unfortunately, Minato's specialty is Wind Release."

If it were another attribute, it would be a bit easier to find a few techniques suitable for Minato's style, but Wind Release is much harder to find. Wind Release techniques are all wide-range attack ninjutsu, with very few powerful close-combat ninjutsu, and the few Wind Blades that exist don't fit Minato's fighting style.

"Fortunately, Minato developed his own Rasengan, which has A-rank power."

Three years ago, Minato Namikaze witnessed the magma fireball and the Tailed Beast Ball, which inspired him to quickly develop the Rasengan. One wonders what Kiyoshi Uchiha would think if he knew, that he was inspired to develop the Rasengan by modifying his own Rasengan into a magma fireball...

"By the way, Master Fukasaku, the Great Toad Master hasn't woken up for a long time. Could something have happened to him?"

Fukasaku also looked distressed. "Yes, two years ago, the Great Toad Sage inexplicably fell into a deep sleep and hasn't woken up since. It's not like he's never slept for several years before. It's just that the Great Toad Sage seemed to have entered a state of precognitive dreaming. According to the usual practice, he should have woken up and told us what happened in the dream, but after the dream ended, the Great Toad Sage fell into a long sleep."

"I hope the Great Toad Sage wakes up soon."

Jiraiya was speechless upon hearing this.

Could it be that the Great Toad Sage forgot his dream the moment he woke up and then fell asleep again?

Leaf.

"Senior Hui, Minato-sensei has been missing for quite some time now. I hope nothing bad has happened to him. Oh dear, Kakashi, why did you hit me?"
