Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Defense is so simple!"

As Furukawa Osamu's spirit looked at the divine artifact that had been grabbed in front of him by the Nine-Tails' chakra hand, he smiled and sighed. After severing the connection with the giant chakra snake, the stone chamber quickly fell silent.

The White Zetsu Jinchuriki suddenly opened its massive maw and swallowed the Amber Bottle whole. Furukawa Osamu's spirit sensed the situation carefully but couldn't detect anything amiss, so he immediately used a summoning technique.

"As expected of Lord Xiu, it seems he has succeeded."

The slug sensed its surroundings and responded joyfully. Furukawa Osamu's spirit stroked his chin, and suddenly two giant arms made of Nine-Tails chakra appeared behind him.

The hissing sound of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken rang out, and as Sage Chakra was continuously poured in, the Rasenshuriken in the Chakra Arm grew larger and larger.

"This location is perfect for destroying the entire building. Hopefully, the Cloud Village ninja will have an interesting reaction."

"Live Slug, prepare the reverse psychic technique. I'm going back now."

"Yes, Lord Xiu."

As the slug disappeared, Furukawa Osamu casually threw out two giant spiral shuriken, unleashing a full burst of wind-attribute sage chakra. The secret chamber was instantly destroyed, and the building above immediately collapsed.

"boom!"

A loud bang suddenly came from the middle of the night. The Cloud Village ninjas who had reached the mountainside immediately turned back. As the collapsing building stirred up a violent airflow, people fell to the ground one after another, and screams followed.

"Melting Escape - Protective Barrier!"

Rushing to the nearby earthen platform, they hurriedly protected the Cloud Village ninja in front of them. The elastic protective membrane demonstrated extremely strong toughness and successfully blocked the flying giant rocks.

Mabuyi and Samui followed behind Tutai. The two had just finished get off work and were shocked to see the entire hill turned into a pile of rubble.

Just as the two were about to ask a question, they suddenly felt a pain in their ankles. The small green snake disappeared immediately after being infused with the Sage Chakra that carried the spirit of Furukawa Shu.

The two girls initially looked bewildered, then looked at each other and felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.

"Mabuyi, Samui, the medical team will be here soon. Stay here to count the wounded."

"Yes, Lord Todai!"

On the front lines of the Land of Frost, in the Konoha camp, Furukawa Osamu, who was on night watch, suddenly opened his eyes, sensed the information from Kumogakure, and was quite satisfied:

"While they can't handle determined old guys, they can play a crucial role in managing rookies."

Chapter 184: A Backup Plan for Outliving the Short-Lived (No Main Character)

In mid-May, news of the attack on Kumogakure spread throughout the ninja world.

Just when everyone thought the Cloud Village ninja would seize this opportunity to end the war, the Frost Country front was bombarded by the "Killer Bee Cannon"...

The battle broke out inexplicably, and both sides fought fiercely again, leaving behind hundreds of corpses. Only then did the Fourth Raikage, A, give the reason for the battle:

"Despicable Konoha ninjas have stolen the Hidden Cloud Village's sacred treasure!"

"They want to seal the tailed beasts to achieve their evil goals. The Cloud Village ninja will never compromise unless Konoha returns the divine artifacts."

Not long after the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was captured, the Amber Bottle was stolen.

Most of the Cloud Village ninjas insisted that this was a conspiracy by the Leaf Village ninjas, and more and more people were shouting to fight to the end.

The Konoha ninja were equally furious upon hearing this explanation. They were indeed trying to extract information from the Jinchuriki's mind, but Konoha, which possessed the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, had no interest in stealing the bottle.

The Fourth Hokage, Tsunade, didn't offer any explanation. Faced with the blame thrown at her by the Cloud Village ninja, she gave a simple response:

"For the glory of Konoha ninja, we will fight to the very end."

-

Obito Uchiha, who had returned to his base in the Land of Rivers to secretly repair his severed arm, intended to stir up trouble on the front lines. However, before he could even play his role as the mastermind behind the scenes, another conflict broke out between the two sides.

Although this situation was exactly as he had expected, Obito still felt that something was wrong.

He was the one who passed on the top-secret information about the Flying Thunder God Technique to Yunyin. Taking advantage of the outbreak of war, stealing the Amber Purification Bottle was his immediate goal, but now the bottle has been stolen.

Obito frowned slightly as he thought about the sealing artifacts. He needed to control some of the tailed beasts in order to restrain Black Zetsu and Nagato.

After all, the Nine-Tails was not in his hands, and Obito had no choice but to capture some more tailed beasts in order to prevent his lies from being discovered.

"This shouldn't have been done by Osamu Furukawa; he's been protecting the Konoha ninja on the front lines."

"Even if he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would be extremely risky to teleport such a long distance. Lord Madara emphasized that the greater the distance, the greater the energy consumption."

"It's possible that the Root ninjas of Konoha were mobilized. Since there was no suitable Jinchuriki, extracting the Two-Tails and placing it in the Amber Purification Bottle was indeed very appropriate."

White Zetsu rarely offered such a serious opinion, and Obito's brows furrowed even deeper after hearing it. He still felt there was an undetected conspiracy involved:

"Danzo's plan? I don't believe in his power."

"Since the Amber Purification Bottle is missing, let's return directly to the Land of Rain. I need to replenish the chakra of the Gedo Mazo; practicing eye techniques has consumed too much of my energy."

White Zetsu resumed his comical tone, and thinking of Black Zetsu's strict vigilance against Obito, he couldn't help but respond sarcastically:

"You need Nagato-sama's permission to use the Gedo Mazo!"

"Lord Nagato is the only one who can summon the Gedo Mazo. You must show him respect when you go there."

"Oh, right, there's bad news. My companion told me that Nagato has already learned Chibaku Tensei, and the Six Paths Techniques you hid have still been learned by him."

"Lord Nagato might just seal you away. I haven't even experienced the urge to defecate yet. If that happens, don't expect me to help."

Obito's eyes twitched. It was Black Zetsu who had ruined his plans again. Once Nagato completed the Outer Path technique, the threat to him would increase significantly.

Fortunately, he managed to control his emotions at this moment. Obito tried his best to remain calm and continued to respond with the same contemptuous tone as Madara Uchiha:

"A mere sealing technique will have no effect whatsoever against my eye power!"

"The Kamui Shuriken of today is not as powerful as before. Even if he activates the Gedo Mazo, I can still deal with that monster."

“If it weren’t for ending this twisted ninja world, I would want to kill them right now.”

"Madara is wrong about one thing. I, who possess the power of the Uchiha and Senju, cannot control the Gedo Mazo, nor can I evolve into the Rinnegan. Clearly, there is a flaw in his plan."

White Zetsu tapped Obito's head with his tentacle in agreement. "Madara was indeed wrong," he said regretfully, suddenly recalling the Uchiha clan's ancestral stone tablet.

"Unfortunately, your pupil power has not increased significantly, and you are still unable to decipher the remaining contents of the stone tablet."

"The power of the eyes is a big problem. After Rin Nohara and Kakashi have the next generation, perhaps Madara-sama will be able to make a breakthrough."

"Shut up!"

Obito's eyes twitched; just imagining it made his eyes burn. He really didn't want to see that kind of thing, and the only thing he could do now was to escape.

"I'll replenish my chakra first. I'll figure out how to handle the ocular power."

...

Since the angel took power, Amegakure has no longer been shrouded in rain all year round, which has delighted the Amegakure ninja. Extreme worshippers even call this a "miracle".

In just over two years, Yuyin Village has developed rapidly, not only resolving the issue of entrustment but also opening up multiple routes for maritime trade.

As 21-year-old Konan becomes increasingly adept at handling government affairs, more and more ninjas from the Land of Rain choose to return home after the village is renovated.

Under her rule, the number of ninjas reached an all-time high, and Amegakure, nestled between major powers, officially ushered in a period of revival.

In the metal tower at the center of Amegakure, in the top-floor room, Konan, wearing a purple tight-fitting backless sleeveless top, was intently flipping through thick documents.

She had to be careful with her work involving the daimyo of the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers.

When Nagato manipulated the puppet made by Yahiko into the room, Konan immediately stood up. The girl's figure had changed quite a bit in the past two years; she was tall and slender, unlike a ninja who had been trained for a long time.

"This is part of the mission from the Bird Kingdom and the Bear Kingdom. I'll have to trouble you with the task again."

"Iwagakure is defaulting on their debt! We'll secretly seize their commission market, and the Third Tsuchikage won't say anything."

Konan calmly assigned tasks, and the puppet named Pain immediately nodded. With Amegakure's funds increasing, they truly had a chance to achieve Yahiko's dream!

"The incident in Kumogakure may have been caused by Madara Uchiha again."

"They sealed the tailed beast with the amber bottle. It seems they're ready to make a showdown. Konan, you must protect yourself!"

"His ethereal form can last for a very long time, and until now, we haven't been able to get any specific information about it."

The puppet Pain calmly inquired about his friend's well-being. Konan smiled, recalling her progress in ninjutsu, and confidently replied:

"At least we have prepared some effective plans. Give me some more time, and even the legendary powers won't be able to interfere with our dreams."

Nagato witnessed his friend's transformation. Konan had completely overcome the grief brought on by Yahiko's death, and he was genuinely happy for his friend.

After whispering a discussion about how to deal with the frequent visits of Konoha ninjas, Nagato manipulated the puppet to leave quickly.

He spent most of his time in the Land of Rivers, where he could better hide and protect their port trade; the economic lifeline had to be in his own hands.

As the sun set, Xiao Nan finished her work for the day, got up, and returned to her bedroom next door. Standing before the mirror, the girl looked puzzled again.

Why did I not feel any emotion when I saw Yahiko?

The puppet was only modified half a year ago. At that time, Konan would feel heartache when she saw Yahiko's face. But as time went by, the girl could no longer feel anything when she saw the puppet.

Her straight legs were faintly visible through her black trousers, and Xiao Nan always had a strange feeling whenever she looked at herself.

She didn't tell Nagato some secrets. Every time she met a female ANBU member from Kirigakure, she felt close to her, and the other woman seemed to feel the same way. Their relationship grew closer and closer.

While Konan was deep in thought, Furukawa Osamu's spirit was also recording the "symptoms." The growth of the spirit not only affects the host, but the two spirits will also attract each other and generate emotions of fusion.

"Unfortunately, those Rinnegan only absorb chakra and do not help with fusing the power of the Six Paths."

Furukawa's spirit body obtained detailed information about the Rinnegan from Konan. Although Nagato's eye power was very strong, it was not on the same level as his original awakened Sharingan.

Aside from being able to use a degraded version of Yin-Yang Release, the opponent is not proficient in using Yin Release or Yang Release.

As for the basic ninjutsu that enhance Yin and Yang Release, Nagato, despite his intentional practice under Konan's guidance, was unable to use them at all. Those eyes did not grant the host the power of the Six Paths.

After finishing her daily reflection, Xiao Nan put those thoughts out of her mind. She went to the bathroom, undressed, and buried herself in the bathtub. Thinking of that Hidden Mist ANBU member, she subconsciously murmured:

"Mei Terumi? What an interesting fellow."

...

After relocating the Gedo Mazo to a hidden base in the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu would occasionally remind Nagato to "move," as this was their last line of defense.

For Black Zetsu, the Gedo Mazo was like his mother's body; if it was damaged, he would rather send it back to her.

As long as the Rinnegan is well protected and those short-lived beings are outlived, Black Zetsu believes he can always find a suitable opportunity to complete his plan.

Osamu Furukawa's Devouring and Obito's Kamui frightened Black Zetsu. Fortunately, Nagato was on his side, so the plan could still proceed, but they had to be extra careful.

"Why are these bodies being used to replenish chakra again?"

Obito, who had arrived at another base in the Land of Rain, stared at Black Zetsu with his scarlet eyes. He had come to test the Gedo Mazo, but the Gedo Mazo responded by using the charged White Zetsu body.

"Lord Madara can use this body directly, which is more convenient."

"I have prepared a spare White Zetsu. Lord Madara can store it in his own space so that it can be replaced at any time."

Seeing the black-and-white-faced guy lower his head, Obito's face behind the mask showed anger again.

Unlike Osamu Furukawa, Obito only wanted those eyes. Considering that the stone tablet had not yet been deciphered, he ultimately suppressed his emotions.

When Black Zetsu left, Obito let out a long breath, tapped his mask, and said in a deep voice:

"Inform Orochimaru that I will help him develop the Mangekyou Sharingan and make him hand over the true method of Sage Mode training."

"Lord Madara, are we really going to help that disgusting guy?"

White Zetsu wanted to shout out his criticism when he thought of Orochimaru's Substitution Jutsu, and wanted to ask for more details, but Obito responded with contempt in Madara Uchiha's tone:

Orochimaru had no idea what it meant to master the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"If I can find a way to kill Orochimaru through this opportunity, I will accept both the eyes and the Sage Mode."

"White guy, you should be able to use the Mangekyou Sharingan too, right?"

Seemingly surprised that Obito was still thinking of him, White Zetsu was overjoyed and responded with a grin:

"Of course, I really wish I could get an eye with powerful pupil techniques, maybe then I could experience the urge to defecate!"

Chapter 185 The "Mastermind" Who Often Takes the Blame...

At the end of May, on the front lines of the Land of Frost, with the Fourth Raikage A regaining his composure, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village returned to a state of confrontation.

Tsuchikage knew Raikage's temperament, so he only reported the suspicious points quietly after the last battle, without mentioning Raikage's capricious actions.

Konoha did not press their advantage because Minato Namikaze had discovered the mysterious "Uchiha Madara".

Currently, only Osamu Furukawa knows about this, and in order to defend against that long-range space-time ninjutsu, Minato also has to remain vigilant at all times.

Due to the astonishing destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball, the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost jointly sent envoys to Konoha and Kumogakure.
