Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

He whispered, and at the same time, five purple chakra flames ignited on the parasite's fingers. This was the first time he had used the parasite's body to perform a high-level sealing technique, greatly increasing the difficulty of the technique.

Even if one's physical body is in the meditation room, one must concentrate all one's mind and eliminate all external interference.

A series of fine, crisp sounds, like the cracking of glass, emanated from the surface of the coffin.

The primary purpose of the Five Elements Seal is to break existing seals, making it a universal key in sealing techniques, capable of forcibly breaking most conventional restrictions.

His previous attempt to obtain Madara Uchiha's eyes ended in failure with the Five Elements Seal. This was because what covered those eyes was a top-tier ocular technique at the Mangekyou Sharingan level.

But this time, Shen Er was absolutely confident.

The Five Elements Seal originates from the orthodox lineage of the Uzumaki clan, while the restriction on sealing the coffin is merely a rudimentary sealing technique that the Cloud Village ninjas figured out on their own. The two are worlds apart in terms of level.

One hour later.

The seemingly unbreakable layers of seals crumbled and peeled away layer by layer under the steady flow of chakra, and were eventually broken and disappeared completely.

Seal? Alarm? None of them exist.

Shen Er took a deep breath, lifted the coffin lid, and looked inside.

The First Raikage's body lay quietly inside; seven days after his death, his body showed no signs of decay.

The last time they met, the First Raikage exuded an imposing aura. But just two months later, only a cold, lifeless body remained, lying dormant there.

It's sad and lamentable.

Ninjas are not judged by their strength at any given moment, but by who can live the longest.

"Hehe, it's mine now."

They wouldn't follow the Cloud Village's morals; they simply put the Raikage's entire corpse into the sealing scroll.

For safety reasons, taking only his heart and a finger's worth of flesh would have been enough. But Shen'er also wanted to use him as material for future puppetry modifications, so he greedily packed up the corpse and took it away.

At the same time, Shen Er took out another male corpse from the sealing scroll, manipulated the Earth Grudge Fear in conjunction with medical ninjutsu to disguise the corpse, making it look like the First Raikage, and put it back into the coffin.

Such a disguise cannot withstand close scrutiny, but as long as the Cloud Hidden side is slightly careless, they will not notice anything unusual.

Afterwards, he closed the coffin and skillfully replicated and repaired the original seal of Yunyin, completely erasing all traces of his intrusion.

After doing everything.

Shen Er walked out of the cave and said to Uchiha Yan, "Operation over, evacuate immediately."

Uchiha Yan was not satisfied and felt some regret, but she still obeyed the order and retreated with a million men.

Shen'er chose to retreat by returning the way she came, attaching chakra to the soles of her feet and walking on water.

At this time...

An unexpected incident is about to occur.

A powerful surge of lightning spread across the sea. Just as Uchiha Yan noticed the anomaly and was about to warn them, the lightning bolts beneath their feet had already pierced through the soles of their shoes.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The next instant, a huge commotion came from the center of the canyon.

At the edge of their vision, a black dot rapidly approached and enlarged, and soon it became clear that a burly figure was riding the waves and rushing forward, blocking their path in an instant.

The person who arrived was none other than Illaoi.

Having just finished the vigil, he sent his team back first, while he stayed behind alone in Yunlei Gorge to practice his lightning release technique. Just as he released his lightning release towards the sea, he sensed the presence of an unfamiliar ninja.

Illaoi narrowed her eyes, staring at the two masked men in black uniforms, exuding an air of menace: "Who are you?"

Uchiha Yan shrugged and said to Shen Er, "Oh dear, it seems we've been exposed after all."

"Before I left Konoha, I went to Hell Valley to carry out a clan mission, and that's when I met him. This guy is a genius of Kumogakure. Seven years have passed, and judging from his appearance, his strength is much greater than before."

Uchiha Yan calmly commented on the person blocking their way.

Seven years ago in Hell Valley, Illaoi was just a physically strong kid, at most a Chunin. Now, judging by her aura, she's at least an elite Jonin…

Uchiha Yan felt a little uneasy.

If she didn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan, she would probably have already chosen to retreat tactically. With only two tomoe, she wouldn't be a match for an elite Jonin. But with these eyes, she has the confidence to deal with even an elite Jonin with ease.

Even if Uchiha Yan doesn't say it.

Even he recognized the person in front of him as the future Third Raikage, who was also the strongest Raikage in history.

Among the Kage of the Five Great Nations, the Third Raikage's power definitely ranks in the top five.

The Third Raikage and the Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha, in their youth, are in the environment of the Cloud and Thunder Gorge. For some reason, he inexplicably hallucinates decades later, showing Haruta-suke leading Team Taka to capture Killer Bee.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

"It seems you don't intend to tell us."

zizi

Dangerous blue arcs of electricity instantly erupted around Illaoi, clearly indicating that she had silently activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"But it doesn't matter. I'll arrest both of you and break your bones one by one, and see if you'll open your mouths."

Battle is imminent.

Shen Er reminded him, "Try not to use Susanoo. Fight and retreat. This is Kumogakure territory; we can't stay here long."

"Retreat? Why wasn't I the one who killed him?"

Under the clear sky, Uchiha Yan seemed to be influenced by some mysterious force, and her confidence increased greatly.

Shen Er glanced at her but didn't stop her much. Even without her exclusive Mangekyou Sharingan, the Third Raikage at this stage wouldn't be a match for her with just Susanoo.

But she might not be able to kill Illaoi.

Very well, let her experience her current power for herself.

"Suit yourself, I'm leaving now."

Shen Er spoke calmly, deciding to first take the body of the First Raikage and evacuate.

At the same time, considering that Yunlei Gorge is not far from the Yunyin Outpost marked in the intelligence, it is easy to attract reinforcements.

He set a limit for Uchiha Yan: "Ten minutes. You only have ten minutes at most. When the time is up, regardless of whether you killed Illaoi or not, you must leave immediately."

"Also, if you don't want to go blind immediately, don't overuse the power of Susanoo."

Chapter 82 Hell Piercing Hand, Susanoo!

The upper limit of a normal Mangekyou Sharingan Susanoo is probably the third form.

Based on the Susanoo skull, meridians and flesh grow, and the outer layer is covered with an outer garment-like chakra.

Although this form lacks lower limbs, its combat power surpasses that of an ordinary Kage-level ninja. While its power is astonishing, its chakra consumption is also terrifying, and its form is extremely unstable, making it difficult for an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan to maintain for an extended period.

And during this process, vision will deteriorate rapidly.

"Hmph! Trying to escape?"

Illaoi had no idea what kind of enemy she was facing.

After activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, a Lightning Instantaneous Body appeared in front of Shen.

The scenario of "one comrade covering the rear while the other evacuates" doesn't exist for him.

With his absolute speed and brute force, he aimed to capture both Shen and Uchiha Yan, ensuring neither of them could escape.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode, also known as "Lightning Release Armor".

The principle is to concentrate Lightning Release chakra to cover the entire body, causing the body to be enveloped in chakra and lightning, thereby activating the body's potential. It can greatly enhance nerve conduction speed, physical strength, and defensive capabilities; the more chakra injected, the more significant the increase in various abilities.

This is a unique "ninjutsu" technique of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Looking at the fist, crackling with electricity, so close at hand.

Shen Er stood still, neither dodging nor flinching.

Like in most works, the seemingly strong and weak partners usually take the lead, with the one who appears stronger but is actually weaker; the truly powerful one appears frail and constantly needs protection, but when it comes to fighting, they display terrifying dominance...

Of course, this is just Shen'er's fantasy.

In fact, he couldn't dodge it at all. After all, the parasitic body he was controlling was only a Chunin. No matter how rich his combat experience and ninjutsu reserves were, he couldn't bridge the gap in raw strength and dodge Illaoi's powerful punch when she entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Trust Uchiha Yan!

Just believe it.

A fist the size of a sandbag was about to smash into Shen'er's face when, in the next instant, Uchiha Yan's voice suddenly rang out: "Your opponent is me."

boom!!

A massive fireball hurtled toward Illaoi. If he were to insist on blasting it at Shen, he could certainly kill him with a single punch, but he himself would also be burned by the fireball.

Illaoi acted decisively, activating Lightning Body Technique again, not only dodging the fireball but also instantly flashing behind Uchiha Yan.

On the water's surface, the fireball roared, evaporating large amounts of water vapor, and scorching waves of air slapped directly against Shen'er's face. Taking advantage of this moment, he simply slipped away with the sealing scroll.

Illaoi raised her fist high, her tone fierce: "I was planning to deal with you later, but since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

"So fast!"

In a flash, Illaoi's figure vanished from the spot.

Even Uchiha Yan, who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, clearly saw Illaoi's movement trajectory, but her limbs couldn't react in time, and she could only barely make a defensive move.

She subconsciously activated her Sharingan genjutsu, a trick that had always worked for her. When clearing out the grunts in the Land of Rice Fields, she was always able to control the enemy in battle.

But this time, she miscalculated.

The opponent's physique was completely unaffected.

Bang!

Uchiha Yan, who had just finished dressing up, was punched hard and sent flying. His feet sank into the water, and he was forced to retreat several meters on the sea before he could regain his balance.

"Heh, an Uchiha ninja? I'm curious, how dare Konoha send someone here. It's fine if you don't tell me, we'll know the answer once we capture you."
