Naruto: Start by Unlocking the Power of Death

The others around seemed to be inspired and also prostrated themselves, their eyes still filled with fanaticism. They followed the leader in praying, "The Evil God will grant us eternal life. We need to please Him..."

In another cave, Isshiki Otsutsuki watched all this happen and whispered, "I don't know how many years have passed, but the experiment still hasn't succeeded. Is this method not feasible?"

Over the course of thousands of years, Otsutsuki Isshiki made various arrangements and experiments in order to cultivate the perfect "instrument".

And here is one of his arrangements, called the Evil God Cult...

Chapter 217: Promotion to Jonin, Akatsuki takes action

In Konoha Village, Hyuga Tsuki family.

They had just finished lunch and Yoruichi and Hinata Yue were sitting on the steps and corridor to rest.

"You said that Lady Tsunade plans to accept you as her disciple?" Yoruichi looked at Hinata Light with some surprise.

Hinata Yue nodded, "I guess so, but Lady Tsunade probably only intends to teach me and Senior Tamako about medical ninjutsu. It seems that Lord Jiraiya recommended us to Lady Tsunade."

During the last Nine-Tails Rebellion, Hinata Tsuki and Tamako made great contributions.

Although Jiraiya had fallen into a coma at the time, it was unclear what happened after he fell into a coma.

But thinking about it, Hinata Tsuki and Tamako must have put in a lot of effort to save me...

So, after returning from the Five Kage Council, Jiraiya mentioned these two people to Tsunade.

In addition, Hinata Yue and Tamako both had strong medical talents, so they were noticed by Tsunade and accepted as her disciples...

"As a disciple of Lady Tsunade, your status is higher than mine. You really deserve to be my fiancée!" Ye Yi touched the tip of Hinata Yue's hanging ponytail, feeling happy for her.

Hinata Yue shook her ponytail and said with a smile: "I was talking about it, aren't you going to become a jonin? The status of a jonin is very high, even in the village, and you are also a member of the Anbu!"

Yoruichi shrugged, "A jonin is still inferior to a disciple of the Sannin."

Long before, Yoruichi had heard some news from Hizashi that the village intended to promote him to be a jonin.

The last time on the battlefield with Kirigakure, Yoruichi's performance was very eye-catching and played a crucial role.

This kind of achievement is enough for Yoruichi to be promoted to Jonin!

However, due to delays due to various matters, including dealing with the aftermath of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the selection of the acting Hokage, and the Five Kage Conference, it has been delayed until now.

Yoruichi has already received a notice that the village will publicly reward some meritorious ninjas to the entire village at once, and he is on the list.

This move was naturally intended to boost the morale of the village.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the defection of the advisory elder Danzo, the atmosphere in Konoha Village has not been good. Although it seems peaceful now, there has always been an oppressive atmosphere hanging over Konoha...

The village leaders intend to use this to boost morale!

The Jonin is already the top force in the village. Any Jonin needs to have certain qualifications and complete certain tasks before being promoted.

Jonin is the synonym of powerful.

Now that the village is openly promoting jonin, it can boost morale to some extent!

It is to show the villagers that the village is very powerful. The previous Nine-Tails Rebellion was only because Konoha was weak in combat power at that time, otherwise, this situation would not have happened!

"You're so talkative." Hikaru glanced at Yoruichi, propped up his chin and looked him up and down: "Others don't know your true strength, but I know it clearly now!"

Yoruichi moved closer to Hinata Yue and looked into her pure white eyes: "Oh, you actually found out. What now? Are you going to use this to threaten me?"

Hinata Yue also stared into Ye Yi's pure white eyes and smiled: "No matter how strong you are, I will try my best to stand by your side and will not let you abandon me!"

Feeling Hinata Yue's firm heart, Yoruichi held her hand and said, "I will never abandon you in my life."

"This is what you said!"

"Of course!"

Hinata Yue blushed, looked at Yoruichi and said, "The break is over, keep practicing, I must learn your thunder roar cannon!"

"Okay." Ye Yi smiled, stood up and began to guide Hinata Yue's training.

……

The next day, as Yoruichi expected, the village held a public commendation ceremony for the promotions to jonin.

This time the meeting was hosted by Jiraiya, the "Hokage Agent".

"Alas, the old man is really good at ordering people around. It's so troublesome..." Jiraiya looked at everyone in the audience. Although he felt it was troublesome, he was now the "Acting Hokage" and only he could do this kind of thing.

Standing on the stage, Jiraiya was wearing a half-shadow robe and looked quite competent. After a brief announcement, he went straight to the point.

Jiraiya's style of doing things is not to procrastinate, and he does not have some of the problems of other politicians. The commendation ceremony started as scheduled.

There were more than a dozen people promoted to Jonin this time, all of whom were ninjas who had made achievements and performed well on the battlefield.

Among the same classmates, Yoruichi, Shisui, and Might Guy went to the Hidden Cloud Battlefield and the Hidden Mist Battlefield and performed well, and all of them were promoted!

Shisui is a natural, and Uchiha's Mangekyō, whether in the Cloud or Mist battlefield, is fighting against the tailed beasts, bursting out with shockingly powerful strength...

Kai also demonstrated his strength in physical skills. With the explosion of the Eight Gates, he briefly possessed the power to fight against the tailed beasts. Although not as impressive as Shisui, his strength was also recognized.

As for Yoruichi, in the eyes of many people, she is now one of the best among the new generation of Konoha. She is good at both physical and ninjutsu. Although she is not as outstanding as Uchiha Shisui, her strength is not weak!

These three were promoted to jonin, and not many people were dissatisfied, thinking that the three of them were not qualified to be jonin!

Of course, there are a few people who don’t think so…

Because this time, the public reward includes members of the Uchiha clan, and there are two of them.

Naturally, some people from the Uchiha clan came to watch.

Because Danzo's "conspiracy" was exposed, some ordinary people who had misunderstood the Uchiha clan no longer had such strong hostility towards the Uchiha clan.

However, there is still no accurate conclusion on the last time the Nine-Tails was controlled by someone from the Uchiha clan.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village has only eased a little, but the conflicts still exist.

As long as the Uchiha clan member who controls the Nine-Tails is not found, then... the situation of the Uchiha clan will not improve...

At this time, among the crowd of Uchiha clan, Uchiha Yosuke was very angry about Yoruichi and Might Guy being able to become jonin: "It's just luck that they are teammates with Shisui. This kind of stuff is actually worthy of standing with Shisui?"

Looking at Hinata Yoruichi and Might Guy, who are younger than him, his heart is filled with jealousy.

In his opinion, Yoruichi and Gai were just lucky, and being teammates with Shisui allowed them to complete those difficult tasks!

Although Yoruichi Hyuga had defeated him before, he had not yet awakened the Three-magatama Sharingan at that time. If he were to fight Yoruichi Hyuga now, he would be confident that he would defeat the opponent!

And Might Guy, taijutsu? What the hell? In front of his three magatama Sharingan, taijutsu can't possibly threaten him!

Only Shisui, the owner of the Uchiha Mangekyō who easily defeated him, the owner of the three-magatama Sharingan, would be promoted to jonin with complete conviction!

Forget about the others, some of them are older than him, but why should Hinata Yoruichi and Might Guy, who are younger than him, be considered as the best?

After a brief word, at Jiraiya's signal, the meeting ended and everyone left.

However, for the sake of this commendation meeting, and also to allow the villagers to relieve their depressed hearts, the village contributed money and effort, and held a celebration under the pretext of this meeting.

The celebration will last until the evening, and it is a rare moment of relaxation for the Konoha Village...

Yosuke, who left with the Uchiha clan, looked at Yoruichi and Gai coldly and snorted in his heart: "Hyuga Yoruichi, Might Guy... Humph, I will let you two know that you are not qualified to become a jonin with Shisui!"

Here, Yoruichi, who was standing with a group of classmates, seemed to sense something. He looked at the Uchiha clan members who were leaving, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's that Uchiha Yosuke again... It seems that he is an unstable factor..."

Asuma said hello to Yoruichi, "Let's go, Yoruichi. It's rare that everyone is together. Let's celebrate you and Gai becoming jonin. Apart from Kakashi, you two are the fastest among your classmates. It's really enviable."

Ye Yi retracted his gaze, not caring too much, but shrugged and said generously: "Haha, then I will treat you today."

"Generous!"

"As expected of you, Yoruichi!"

A group of people walked towards the barbecue restaurant where they often had dinner together...

They were all classmates who knew each other well and had a good relationship with each other. They were naturally happy for Yoruichi and Gai's promotion to jonin.

It is worth mentioning that Red Bean, who was implicated in Orochimaru's defection, was also present, but compared to the past, Red Bean was more silent at this time and not as lively as before...

……

In the bear country, in the dense forest.

At this time, two people wearing black clothes with red clouds and wearing bamboo hats on their heads were moving in one direction.

Judging from their attire, they are members of Akatsuki!

Kakuto and Beiruho!

Now Hiruko has joined Akatsuki and become one of its official members.

His strength was "recognized" by Nagato, and Hiruko also "recognized" the strength of the Akatsuki organization, and "willingly" joined forces with the Akatsuki organization...

Their action this time was to recruit more personnel. Their target was the rebel ninja of Kirigakure, the members of the Bamboo Clan who possessed the Corpse Vein Blood Limit.

Kakuzu stood on a high ground, looking down at the small town below and said: "The target should be inside the town."

Bei Liuhu on the side also grinned and said, "I hope that guy will reject our invitation. Then, I can take action against him!"

After joining the Akatsuki organization, Hiruko did not give up his research on the "Ghost Sprout Technique". This was his experiment to become a perfect ninja, and he would never give up!

The goal of this operation is an opportunity for him.

As long as the person who possesses the Taketori Shikatari Vein refuses the invitation of their Akatsuki organization, then... he can take over the Shikatari Vein!

Hiruko's goal has always been very clear. In order to make himself the most perfect ninja, he has his own considerations for the selection of blood limits!

Absorb the dark escape of ninjutsu, increase the speed of swift escape, improve the physical fitness of corpse bone vein or steel escape, bloodline limit of powerful attack power, and blood stains of eye technique to enhance perception!

With the five blood limits fused into one, he will become the most perfect ninja!

Now Hiruko already possesses the Dark Release and the Flash Release, and he has a clear goal in mind when choosing other bloodline limits.

To improve his physical fitness, he planned to start with Corpse Vein and Steel Escape to increase the blood limit of his attack. What he wanted was Storm Escape. Of course, other techniques like Boiling Escape, Melting Escape, and Burning Escape were also possible, but Storm Escape was the most suitable for his fighting style!

As for the bloodstains of the eye technique that enhances perception, he has already cast a puppet curse on Kakashi. As long as he finds the right opportunity, he can get Kakashi's Sharingan!

Of course, Kakashi is just one of his alternatives. Anyone with bloodstains of eye techniques that can enhance perception will be his target.

Even when he saw the Samsara Eye in the eyes of Tendo Pain... he also felt a little greedy...

Then... he was "recognized" by Nagato and "willingly" joined the Akatsuki organization...

Kakuzu glanced at Hiruko and said calmly, "The opponent is from the Bamboo Clan who possesses the Corpse Vein. He is probably quite powerful. It won't be easy to capture him..."

The Taketori clan's skeleton lineage is a famous bloodline limit even in the ninja world.

Their fighting style is very radical, and they are also extremely fanatical about fighting. Every member of the Bamboo Cutter clan who has awakened their Corpse Bone Vein is a fighting maniac!

In the ninja world, there is an evaluation of the Bamboo Cutter Clan, that is, a race that is keen on fighting...

At the same time, they are also known as the cursed clan...

Because almost everyone in the Taketori clan who awakens the Corpse Vein will suffer from the "bloodline disease", and this disease cannot be cured and can only be alleviated through alternative methods. However, this method is too costly...

It is precisely because of the existence of "bloodline disease" hanging over their heads that may take their lives at any time that the Taketori clan does not care much about their own death and fights with incomparable madness!

It is very difficult to defeat a member of the Bamboo Cutter Clan...

"With you and I joining forces, won't it be easy to deal with him? What's more, I only want his body, even if he is dead, it doesn't matter." Hiruzen didn't care. Now he possessed two bloodline limits of Dark Release and Flash Release, and his strength was not weak. If Kakuzu joins forces, even the Kage of the five major ninja villages might not be able to escape from their hands!

Hearing this, Jiaozu glanced at Beiliuhu and snorted coldly: "Humph, I don't know what you said to the leader. The leader actually agreed to your stupid request..."

He was angry for no other reason.

But... it was Beiluhu's experiment. Payne actually asked him to allocate funds to Beiluhu...

For someone who values ​​money above all else, this is like cutting flesh from his body...

Bei Liuhu laughed proudly: "The leader is foresighted and has seen the potential of my Kiraya no Jutsu. As long as it succeeds, I will become the most perfect ninja!"

Speaking of which, the first reason why Hiruzen joined the Akatsuki organization was naturally because of the strength of their leader Pain.

In Pain's hands, the two bloodline limits that he was so proud of could not pose much threat to him...

Second, after knowing his Kisara Gekijutsu, the leader of Akatsuki did not show any strange expression. Instead, he planned to support his experiment, which made Okunoki have a better impression of the leader Pain!

The reason why Beiliuhu developed the Gui Luoya technique was not because he had any pursuit of power. He chose to become stronger in order to prove to those who once ignored him, laughed at him, and looked down on him that he, Beiliuhu, was not a waste!

Chapter 218 Nagato and Obito's actions!

After hearing this, Kakuzu sneered: "A perfect ninja? There is no such person in this world. No matter what technique it is, it has its drawbacks!"

"Besides, I don't think your experiment will be successful. Although your Kirara no Jutsu allows you to have two bloodline limits, the side effects should be significant, right? If it's the case with two bloodline limits, let alone more!"
