Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Under the pressure of death, the two young men from Sunagakure completely broke down, letting out meaningless shouts and accelerating towards the crowd.

Before they could even get close to the earthen slope, two Sand Village ninjas suddenly developed huge wounds on their chests, blood splattered everywhere, and they fell silently to the ground.

The azure blade of light attached to the short sword in Furukawa Osamu's hand was shortening. He looked expressionlessly at Rasa, who was being protected by the Sand Village ninja, and his lightning chakra erupted once more.

"A pointless struggle!"

As soon as Furukawa Osamu finished speaking, the Sand Village ninja at the front felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by screams from the people behind him as the light blades swiftly pierced through their bodies.

Perhaps it was the human wall that played a role; just as the light blade was about to pierce through Rasa's body, a chakra shield glowing with blue light successfully intercepted Furukawa Osamu's Chidori Sharp Spear.

"Sizzle!"

The ninjutsu clashed, and sharp screeching sounds rang out continuously. Rasa saw the two puppets in front of him, let out a long breath, and then could no longer maintain his dignity, immediately kneeling on the ground.

"Kid, you can't break through the supreme defense of the mechanical light shield!"

Chiyo, short in stature and with an aged face, appeared from behind, and then the Sand Village ninja who came to support her protected Rasa.

"Old man, you've been here for ages! You just watched them get shot."

Furukawa Osamu maintained his Chidori Sharp Spear and responded calmly. The Sand Village ninja remained unmoved upon hearing this and continued to stare intently at the Konoha ninja.

Chiyo's aged face showed regret. She hadn't expected the young Furukawa Osamu to be so cautious, never actually stepping into the encirclement.

"It's amazing that the Slug Woman could train a disciple like you. I wonder how good your medical ninjutsu really is."

As soon as Chiyo finished speaking, the puppet squads behind her immediately took action. The two puppets at the front also transformed, and countless senbon needles burst forth.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The Konoha ninjas provided immediate support, blocking the attack of the thousand shojin. Then, long-range fire-style ninjutsu erupted, and without Furukawa Osamu's command, everyone charged forward.

Chiyo's puppets are completely different from those of ordinary puppeteers; they are not only more flexible, but also have more complex mechanisms.

Two puppets hurtled towards her, attacking Furukawa Osamu relentlessly from tricky angles. Chiyo frantically swung her arms, and the puppets' long swords and kunai whips slashed continuously at inhuman speed.

"Ding ding..."

Sparks flew around Furukawa Osamu as he spun like a top, parrying precisely while attempting to accelerate his advance.

The Sand Village ninja in front of Chiyo fought desperately to block her, while the Konoha ninja seized the opportunity to get close and interfere.

Seeing that Furukawa Osamu had suddenly increased the distance, Rasa, who was behind him, hurriedly shouted a warning:

"Watch out for his lightning technique!"

Chiyo's two puppets attacked again, and black arcs of electricity suddenly erupted from Furukawa Osamu's body. The power of Chidori Stream increased dramatically, and the puppet in front of him shattered on the spot.

"boom!"

Cracks appeared in the earth, and Furukawa Osamu vanished instantly. Chiyo, with agility beyond her years, raised her arm, and a mechanical shield immediately appeared in front of her.

"impossible!"

Chiyo screamed as she watched as her strongest defense was pierced by Furukawa Osamu's chakra dagger crackling with black lightning. The immense impact shattered her modified arm instantly.

"Chiyo-sama..."

The nearby Sand Village ninjas instinctively shouted loudly, and many of them even abandoned their defenses and rushed straight at Furukawa Osamu.

Chiyo barely avoided a fatal blow, but her shoulder was pierced by a short sword, leaving her paralyzed. She could only watch helplessly as the Sand Village ninja who came to her rescue was swiftly killed by Osamu Furukawa.

Under layers of protection, Chiyo let out a painful growl:

"Use poison!"

The poisonous smoke and poisonous senbon exploded simultaneously, and the Konoha ninja and Sunagakure ninja at the forefront fell to the ground one after another. Furukawa Osamu did not expect the antidote to fail and immediately reminded his companions to retreat.

"Master Xiu!"

"This is a new poison. Pull your poisoned companions back. I'll help everyone control the toxin first."

Furukawa Osamu did not order a pursuit, which secretly pleased the Inuzuka clan ninjas. The Aburame clan ninjas immediately directed the parasitic insects to move the wounded, and the Konoha ninjas present all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn Sunagakure, all they know is these petty tricks!"

"Thanks to Lord Xiu's care."

"Even Chiyo of Sunagakure is nothing special..."

The Konoha ninjas, resting on the spot, discussed excitedly, while the White Zetsu, hidden underground not far away, secretly peeked out to observe, muttering to himself:

"The black lightning release must be reported to Lord Madara."

Chapter 75 "Creating a World of Only Love..." (Please continue reading)

In the dark, enormous cave, the emaciated Uchiha Madara lowered his head, his long white hair obscuring his aged face.

Madara Uchiha had been keeping a close eye on Nagato's movements, as Nagato was the most crucial piece in his plan.

“Nagato is as naive as ever. If this continues, it will be difficult for him to carry out Lord Madara’s plan.”

As soon as White Zetsu, who was kneeling on the ground, finished speaking, his companion beside him chuckled and exclaimed:

"They actually exchanged their mission rewards for supplies and gave them away to the people of the Rain Kingdom for free. What a kind bunch of kids."

"You need to eat food to produce poop, I really want to experience that..."

The serious atmosphere suddenly broke down as several White Zetsu argued about "the feeling of pooping" in front of Madara Uchiha, until another White Zetsu fell from the branch of the Gedo Mazo above, stopping them from talking.

"Lord Madara, this is the latest intelligence from the front lines in the Land of Rain. The young man who inherited the Senju clan's legacy has mastered a black lightning release technique."

"The power of the black lightning release is astonishing; even defensive ninjutsu like the Machine Light Shield Seal cannot withstand it."

"The Sand Village's top combat force cannot return to the battlefield for a short period of time, but they seem to have created a new toxin that has caused considerable trouble for the Konoha ninja."

As the White Zetsu solemnly reported on the battle that had taken place during the day, Madara Uchiha turned around completely and whispered in a hoarse voice:

"Black lightning?"

"He's actually mastered Lightning Release ninjutsu to this extent?"

"I remember there was some information about him not long ago. He's a disciple of Hashirama's granddaughter? His water-style ninjutsu is also excellent."

"11 years old? It's a pity he doesn't have the bloodline of the Uchiha or Senju clans, so he's destined to never master true power."

"I remember now, Osamu Furukawa, did he also inherit the Will of Fire?"

The surrounding White Zetsu looked on with curiosity, all turning to their newly arrived kin. The latter, upon hearing the question, didn't mince words and answered seriously:

“Osamu Furukawa inherited the Will of Fire, values ​​his comrades highly, and is a kind-hearted young man.”

"In order to save his own men, he did not choose to pursue them despite having the advantage."

"His medical ninjutsu was also outstanding, and he quickly brought the spread of toxins in the wounded's body under control."

White Zetsu infiltrated the body of a Konoha ninja and observed the entire process in detail. Furukawa Osamu's medical ninjutsu also left a very deep impression on him.

Madara Uchiha chuckled softly upon hearing the White Zetsu's assessment, then gasped for breath, raising his head to look at the White Zetsu with his scarlet left eye:

"kindness?"

"Do not make any judgments about these ninjas who possess the Will of Fire."

"He simply made the right choice. If he had pursued the Sand Village ninja, it would have been difficult to capture Chiyo in the end."

"His power is insignificant in the face of the Rinnegan, but a Konoha ninja with such talent is still an obstacle."

"If I had the chance, I would have nipped this genius in the bud. It's a pity that Tobirama Senju is no longer here. I really wish he could have seen this."

Madara Uchiha chuckled again, then gasped for breath. Emotional fluctuations always cause problems for the body, and his life was nearing its end.

"Lord Madara, why not rehabilitate such a genius ninja?"

"Among the Uchiha clan ninjas now, there is probably no one who can compare to Osamu Furukawa."

White Zetsu had been searching for a "supervisor," and some of the ninjas he captured during that time were no match for Furukawa Osamu. He was able to defeat a bloodline limit ninja before he was even 11 years old, so his strength met the requirements.

Madara Uchiha seemed to have heard a joke, and began to chuckle nervously again:

"The ninjas who inherit the will of the Senju clan have no idea what true love is!"

"Unable to understand the true meaning of love, unable to comprehend its true power."

"How can someone like that carry out my grand plan?"

The White Zetsu looked on with confusion, not understanding what their creator was talking about.

Madara Uchiha didn't care about the emotions of these tools. At this moment, he entered a state of self-indulgence, recalling past events and continuing to mutter to himself:

"Hashirama, I'm sure I'll win this time."

"I want to create a world where there is only love!"

"There, we will meet again..."

The White Zetsu knew immediately upon hearing "Hashirama" that the White Zetsu were reminiscing about the past. Since their creation, the word they heard most often was "Hashirama."

Madara Uchiha muttered to himself, saying a lot of incomprehensible words. It took him a while to completely control his emotions before he looked at the White Zetsu and gave them instructions again:

"Since the war in the Land of Rain has temporarily stopped, let's continue to observe the Uchiha clan."

"In the face of the true power of the Uchiha clan, even so-called genius ninjas can only look up in awe."

"Yes, Lord Madara, I will also complete the possession of Furukawa Osamu when I have the opportunity."

In early July, news of Chiyo, a high-ranking advisor of Sunagakure, being injured and Rasa, a Jonin, spread throughout the ninja world, and the name of Osamu Furukawa began to circulate among ninjas from various countries.

The Sand Village leadership has repeatedly stated that the Konoha ninja suffered even greater losses in the previous battles, but the morale of the Sand Village ninjas has still plummeted, and this time the losses are simply too great.

Hundreds of Sand Village ninja died in direct combat, and dozens more died during the retreat from their own poisonous fog.

The battle lines don't lie; the main force has already withdrawn from the Land of Rain. The Sand Village ninjas, fearing a surprise attack from a Konoha squad, simply held their own border.

Orochimaru, who was so engrossed in his experiments that he couldn't extricate himself, not only praised his subordinates, including Osamu Furukawa, but also applied to the higher-ups for a rotation.

The Root ninjas have found the "material," and Orochimaru has to go back and meet with Danzo.

Osamu Furukawa has recently been "extremely exhausted," his face pale. Seeing this, the Konoha ninja on the front lines petitioned to "let Lord Furukawa return to the rear to rest," and many young men shed tears in response...

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was in high spirits after seeing the battle report. Upon learning that the new poison from Sunagakure was extremely troublesome, he decided to allocate funds to the medical department again.

During the Jonin meeting, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't hold back his praises, showering his disciple with compliments.

It wasn't until Tsunade made a couple of disapproving remarks that Hiruzen Sarutobi finally approved Orochimaru's application with a smile.

In the evening, on their way back to the village, the group took a short rest and replenished their food.

The short, chubby little green snake grew longer and coiled around Furukawa Osamu. Orochimaru, seeing this, grinned and said:

"It's not too late to switch to the immortal techniques of Longdi Cave. Xiu, these little guys really like you."

Orochimaru sometimes uses persuasive talk like he's coaxing a child, something Furukawa Osamu is used to. He subtly changes the subject, poking at the campfire and asking in a low voice:

"Teacher, have you found any new materials?"

"You noticed. I need to verify this. Once the rejection reaction is resolved, our experiment will enter a completely new phase."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile; even a portion of Hashirama's cells possessed considerable power.

Furukawa Osamu exclaimed in admiration, his expression now one of reverence. He was pleased to see his teacher using his modified Hashirama cells.

“Live specimen collection, teacher, ultimately, power must be in your own hands.”

Chapter 76 We're finally going to catch up with them!

In mid-July of Konoha Year 48, the Chunin Exams were held as scheduled.

The tense atmosphere in the village has eased somewhat due to the outstanding results achieved by the Konoha ninja in the Land of Rain.

Konoha is fighting less and less on the front lines of the Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Springs, while several large-scale conflicts have broken out between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Earth Village.

The victories on local battlefields also influenced the attitudes of the young ninjas. Young people who had never experienced war began to yearn to make a name for themselves, and more and more people were talking about the front lines.

Members of the medical team receive special treatment during the Chunin Exams. Although Tsunade has been working on improving the village's medical system for the past few years, there are still not enough people.

Shizune, Hanfang, Baicao, and others have directly received Tsunade's nomination for Chunin. As long as they pass the written test, they will be promoted smoothly.

Unlike the medical system, the intelligence department has high requirements, needing combat ninjas with special skills.

Under these circumstances, Raido Namiashi and Aoba Yamashiro recently joined the squad. Although they will continue to work in the intelligence unit in the future, the assessment cannot be taken lightly.
