Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

“However, you don’t need to worry, he absolutely cannot defeat me!” Yishi added immediately.

He's not like Kaguya, that incapable idiot who can't fight. How could he be defeated by native ninjas?

It took the combined efforts of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki to seal Kaguya. How could he possibly lose to just one of them?

Seeing Isshiki's confident expression, Onoki raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

Even Onoki himself didn't know whether, at this moment, he hoped Isshiki had the strength to defeat Hiruko, or he hoped Isshiki didn't have that strength.

All he knew was that after this battle, he had to find a way to limit Yi Shi.

A scientific genius with only technology but no strength can control it, but Yishi, who has both technology and strength, is beyond the control of him and the Land of Lightning!

After receiving the answer, Onoki quickly took his leave.

Yishi slowly packed up his research notes, walked to a culture chamber, looked at the clones inside, and left with some regret.

"The Misty Shadows arrived too quickly, otherwise I could have created another clone with divine magic, and I would have had a better chance of success then."

But for now, with me and Bai Shi, that's enough.

In the capital of the Land of Earth, a tense atmosphere permeated the air like a dark cloud.

News of the Mist Shadow Fleet's invasion spread like wildfire, and people poured into the streets from all directions, their faces filled with unease and panic.

On the streets, shouts mingled together, plunging the entire capital into chaos.

People hurriedly packed up their valuables, took their children and the elderly, and rushed to safe areas or shelters outside the city.

Meanwhile, the ninja forces of the Land of Earth were also urgently assembling and rushing to the canal.

"The first line of defense has failed to intercept them; Wuyin has entered the Grand Canal."

"The Earth Release ninja's blockade has failed; the Hidden Mist Fleet has broken through the defenses!"

"Air interception also failed!"...Outside the capital, the Iwagakure ninja forces were fully armored and in a strict formation.

Huang Tu strode up the high platform, his face turning ashen as he listened to the continuous reports of defeats.

He looked down at the canal, his mind filled with doubt: "How could the Hidden Mist ninjas be so fast? Don't they need to rest?"

Suddenly, a muffled sound of water being drained came from the depths of the canal, breaking the brief silence.

Below the platform, the Iwagakure ninja instantly became alert, gripping their weapons tightly and fixing their gazes intently on the direction of the canal.

The water surface suddenly surged, and huge waves rose, as a massive fleet slowly emerged from the end of the canal.

The Hidden Mist warships lined up in a row, their imposing presence overwhelming. The ninjas were fully armed, their faces as cold as frost.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Huang Tu gave the order, and the Iwagakure ninjas sprang into action, following the plan.

The ranged ninja swiftly formed hand seals, unleashing cannons and scientific ninja tools simultaneously, their chakra brimming, ready to strike.

"The Hidden Mist Village has powerful long-range weapons, but the Hidden Stone Village is no less formidable!"

On the canal, the Hidden Mist Fleet sailed through the waves, with Water Release ninjas manipulating the water flow, making the fleet move swiftly.

The ship's flag fluttered in the wind, and the emblem of the Water Kingdom was prominently displayed.

Yagura stared at the distant Iwagakure defensive line, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Iwagakure's reaction is swift, but unfortunately, they can't withstand the might of Kirigakure! Issue the order to prepare for battle!"

"Yes, sir!" The Hidden Mist ninja responded and moved into action, the gunner adjusting the cannon muzzle and pointing it directly at the Hidden Stone Village's position.

The landing force was on high alert, waiting only for Yagura's order to launch the assault.

Huang Tu stared intently at the approaching Mist Fleet, his nerves taut with tension.

At that moment, an aged voice came from behind, which put his mind at ease.

"Fourth Mizukage, how have you been?" Onoki arrived in mid-air, hovering in front of the warship, his gaze piercing as he stared directly at Yagura and Hiruko.

"As the leader of a great nation, how can you associate with traitorous ninjas? Where is your dignity?" Onoki asked with a sneer.

Yagura responded with a cold laugh: "You should have foreseen this day when the continental countries were ostracizing the Water Country! Besides, shouldn't you be the one ashamed?"

The clones rebelled, the nameless organization invaded, Iwagakure lost face, and you still have the nerve to sit firmly in the leader's position?

"The rebellion was nothing but a misunderstanding." Onoki said without changing his expression. "Iwagakure remains as solid as a rock."

After he finished speaking, a team of clone ninjas flew through the air and stood behind Onoki, confronting the Kirigakure fleet.

"As for the Akatsuki organization, its ambitions are obvious. It attempts to revive the Ten-Tails and drag the entire ninja world into the abyss of destruction. It is the common enemy of the ninja world."

"You, Hiruko, are actually colluding with the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and have been so eager to start a war right after the Akatsuki launched their attack on the Land of Earth. Could it be that you have your shadow behind the Akatsuki?"

Onoki's eyes were like torches, his voice like a booming bell, and his words struck like a heavy hammer. The Iwa ninja, who were already uneasy because of the Akatsuki's attack, instantly had their eyes blazing with hatred.

The horrific destruction and slaughter are etched into the hearts of every Iwa ninja like a nightmare, vividly remembered.

Seeing that Onoki was pointing the finger at him, Hiruko withdrew his wandering gaze, a playful smile appearing on his lips. He looked at Onoki with great interest: "Since you know that Uchiha Madara was summoned by me, Lord Onoki still dares to face me directly. This courage is truly admirable."

The Edo Tensei Madara was actually created by a White Zetsu ninja, who also taught Madara the Edo Tensei technique. So, it's not an exaggeration to say that he resurrected Uchiha Madara.

Onoki's gaze was cold and unwavering. He said in a cold voice, "So, you admit to secretly colluding with the Akatsuki organization and the Edo Tensei ninja predecessors, attempting to disrupt the ninja world?" Hiruko nodded lightly, looking indifferent.

If Onoki wants to take the name of righteousness, let him take it; he has no interest in this pointless verbal sparring.

This glorious task should be left to Onoki.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smile flashed in Hiruko's eyes, and he deliberately provoked, "I not only resurrected Uchiha Madara, but I also resurrected many of the past Kage. Today, some of them have arrived. Would you like to see them?"

Onoki's brows furrowed instantly, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"Onoki, I never taught you to fight with your mouth."

At that moment, a deep and authoritative voice, like muffled thunder, rolled from the Hidden Mist Battleship, carrying a chilling sense of oppression that made Onoki's heart tighten.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar figure slowly rising from the warship, like a god descending.

Second Tsuchikage - None!

Onoki's eyes instantly became complex and unreadable, his lips moved slightly, and he murmured, "Master Mu..."

Wu slowly floated down and stood steadily beside Hiruko, her gaze as cold as ice as she stared at Onoki, her voice icy: "Onoki, you have truly disappointed me to the extreme."

"Since it's an uncontrollable technology, a forbidden power, we shouldn't touch it, much less hand over the initiative to others." Wu's words struck the hearts of every Iwa ninja like a heavy hammer.

Some Iwa ninja couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Onoki and the group of clones behind him, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

The clone riot was like a heavy boulder, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

As the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki is undoubtedly directly responsible for this disaster.

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed across Onoki's eyes like a shooting star.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of the clone behind him, he quickly calmed down, his expression as still as water.

"Master, you have lost your self-awareness since you were reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation. At this moment, you are nothing more than a puppet in the hands of Hiruko."

Onoki knew perfectly well that Wu was standing right in front of him, but due to the circumstances, he had to attribute Wu's words to being manipulated.

Chapter 213 The Power of the Sea Spirit Beast

The sudden appearance of Wu had already dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Iwagakure soldiers.

If the other side were to openly declare their stance and stand squarely on Hiruko's side, the fighting spirit of the Iwa ninja would be completely shaken, and there might even be a terrible situation where they defected on the eve of battle.

Onoki would never allow this to happen.

"Your words and actions now are all the result of manipulation."

"Beluhu is attempting to undermine our will in this way, but we will never let him succeed!"

Onoki's voice gradually rose, his tone filled with unwavering determination, "Lord Mu, you were once the pride of our Iwagakure, an unshakable pillar of our spirit."

We will not be swayed by your words, nor will we let you down!

Wu stared at Onoki for a moment, then laughed angrily, "Heh, then you can try it yourself and see if I'm being controlled!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, moving with the speed of a ghost.

A cold glint flashed in Onoki's eyes, and he immediately ordered, "Sensory ninjas, pay attention! Keep a close eye on Master Mu's location!"

"Yes!" The clone sensory ninjas behind him responded quickly, scattering like arrows and concentrating all their energy to sense every fluctuation of chakra around them.

"Lord Onoki, he's behind us!" a sensory ninja shouted urgently.

"Dust Release: Particle Style!" x2

Almost simultaneously, Onoki, who had been alerted, suddenly turned around and, together with Mu who appeared in front of him, used Dust Release.

Two shimmering beams of light flashed by like lightning, instantly piercing the sky and illuminating the entire battlefield as bright as day.

The two beams of light suddenly collided in mid-air, and in an instant, violent energy fluctuations spread wildly in all directions like a surging tide.

The ground was mercilessly torn apart, and huge cracks spread out like ferocious beasts.

The air sizzled and crackled as if it were on fire.

The entire sky seemed to have been violently torn in two by a pair of invisible giant hands, a truly shocking scene.

The fight between the two was like a powerful signal.

The already tense and almost frozen battlefield was instantly ignited by this attack, like a powder keg exploding.

Yagura, long since impatient with the endless negotiations, now had an icy gaze and coldly commanded, "Attack!"

In an instant, the warship's main and secondary guns simultaneously turned around, their muzzles flashing with intense, dazzling light, as if to tear this dark battlefield apart.

At Yagura's command, the warships roared with deafening fire, and massive fireballs and energy beams, like roaring dragons, swept towards the Iwagakure position with a terrifying, world-destroying force and a sharp whistle.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Hundreds of Iwa ninja reacted quickly, their hands forming hand seals in a blur, and massive earthen walls instantly rose from the ground, standing like steel fortresses in front of the artillery fire.

Boom boom boom—violent explosions rang out one after another, the Rock Hidden Fortifications trembled violently under the artillery fire, dust flew like a whirlwind, and sparks flew like lightning, while the barrier they had set up flickered.

Seeing this, Huang Tu showed no weakness and roared, "Counterattack!" From the direction of Yan Yin, artillery fire roared like a torrential downpour.

After giving the order, Huang Tu jumped off the platform and joined the Iwa ninja waiting on the ground in forming hand seals.

"Earth Escape, Earthquake Core!"

This was a powerful Earth Release technique executed by hundreds of Iwa ninja working together. With their perfect coordination, the ground trembled violently like waves, as if a sleeping giant beast had been completely awakened and was letting out an angry roar.

Meanwhile, the Kirigakure fleet sailed across the river, its cannons roaring, attempting to suppress the Iwa ninja's counterattack.

However, just as they were concentrating their firepower to launch a fierce attack on the Yan Yin position, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground beneath their feet.
