Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm!

Furukawa Osamu's other three clones simultaneously unleashed ninjutsu. With the aid of Wind Release, the fireballs instantly expanded, and the surrounding earth shattered in unison.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

Ignoring the Sand Village ninja screaming and collapsing at the front, Furukawa Osamu continued to unleash ninjutsu with his shadow clones. Earth dragons surged from the ground, spewing out earth bullets, which were then instantly engulfed in flames.

As the earth dragon spun rapidly, earth bullets encased in flames flew towards the Sand Village ninja forces. The overwhelming attack instantly disrupted their charging formation, and screams of agony followed one after another.

Furukawa Osamu's clones transformed into ninjutsu "turrets," making it impossible for the Sand Village ninjas to see the hand seals. The four simply changed directions, clasped their hands together, and continuously released ninjutsu.

"No!"

"What's this..."

A ferocious water dragon, tens of meters tall, crackled with electricity as it pounced among the Sand Village ninjas. An earth dragon, enveloped in flames, traversed the land. Some Sand Village ninjas cried out in despair, only to be quickly overwhelmed by ninjutsu.

The shattered earth accelerated the escape of the Sand Village ninjas behind them. Osamu Furukawa leaped into the crowd and slashed wildly, creating a "vacuum" zone centered on his body.

Chiyo, watching from afar, thought that Furukawa Osamu's ninjutsu would eventually stop, but the water dragon and earth dragon continued to wreak havoc, and she could only watch as the Sand Village ninja were constantly being knocked away.

"how so!"

"Charge! He'll eventually refine his chakra! Everyone charge!"

Chiyo roared loudly and then led the charge. This action finally emboldened the Sand Village ninjas, and hundreds of them gathered to counterattack. In an instant, wind-style ninjutsu once again rushed towards Furukawa Osamu's direction.

"call out!"

Furukawa Osamu sensed it early and quickly leaped to the rear, where he joined up with the four clones.

The five simultaneously clasped their hands together, instantly entering Sage Mode. Invisible waves emanated from their bodies, and wisps of hair on either side of their foreheads fluttered as Sage Chakra surged forth from the Hundred Healings Seal.

"Immortal Technique - Five Escapes - Great Continuous Bullet Technique!"

Chiyo was tackled to the ground by a group of Sand Village ninja. Feeling the earth-shattering energy fluctuations, she could only scream in despair:

"No!"

The five elemental ninjutsu violently intertwined, covering an area of ​​several thousand meters in front of him. The collision of energy caused the earth to shatter with a loud bang, and the dust and smoke from the shockwaves blotted out the sky.

"boom!"

"Cough cough..."

The young members of the secret service who arrived outside the city were nearly blown away by the blast. As they propped themselves up, they coughed a few times, and when they looked up at the front, their eyes widened in shock:

"Is...is this kind of power really something a ninja can control?"

As far as the young member of the Dark Division could see, the earth was scorched black, crystallized in many places, and cracks were still spreading. Countless tree roots were piled up in the distance, and there were charred corpses all around.

The female operative who rushed over instinctively covered her mouth behind her mask. An indescribable smell spread outside the area, a mixture of blood and burnt odor.

The Konoha ninjas who arrived from behind also felt their legs go weak, and some of the Sand Village ninjas died in extremely gruesome ways.

Furukawa ignored the people behind him. The spirit, invisible to ordinary people, swiftly passed over the corpses. The energy from [Collection] quickly replenished what it consumed and then continuously poured into the spirit.

"There are actually people who survived!"

With the spirit's keen senses, it quickly discovered Chiyo, who was covered by Sand Village ninjas and puppets. This high-ranking Sand Village official had multiple fractures and burns on most of her body.

Furukawa Osamu's face showed surprise. He stepped forward and merged with the spirit. When he arrived beside Chiyo, he looked down at her, pondered for a moment, and then turned to greet her:

"It's better to leave this high-ranking Sunagakure official to you to handle."

"Let the Hokage make the decision. There are still some Sand Village ninjas near Mount Kikyo. They didn't bring many supplies and are probably prepared to die!"

"Don't underestimate this will. The team we sent out should have already suffered considerable casualties."

The young ANBU member was momentarily speechless. Seeing Furukawa Osamu's pale face, he disregarded the support team and hurriedly tried to persuade him:

"Xiu, you and the Anbu go back to the village first. Leave the rest to us!"

"If we have to rely on you even for this little difficulty, we don't deserve to be called Konoha ninjas anymore."

After witnessing firsthand the absurd act of one man wiping out a 500-strong Sand Village army, the Konoha ninja, regaining their senses, were greatly encouraged and shouted loudly:

"Yes, Lord Xiu, the crisis at Kikyo Castle has been resolved. Leave Kikyo Mountain to us!"

"Let those damned Sand Village ninjas taste our power!"

"Lord Xiu, let's rest for now. We will complete our mission."

The remaining dozens of Konoha ninjas all showed excited expressions as they petitioned together, while Furukawa Osamu's face showed signs of exhaustion as he responded in a deep voice:

"Then I'll leave it to you all."

"Yes, Lord Xiu!"

-

As evening fell, another group of Chunin reinforcements arrived at the ravaged Kikyo Castle. The battle continued, and the Sand Village ninjas, with a death wish, routed the hundred-strong reinforcement force.

Kakashi arrived in the city and handed the scroll to the ANBU officer in charge. After receiving instructions, he immediately signaled the three people behind him to follow.

Upon arriving at the eastern part of the ancient city, Namiashi Raido noticed Kakashi drawing a short sword from his back. He immediately drew his long sword as well, whispering a warning:

"Watch your formation! Obito, stop looking around!"

"Lin, stay alert."

There were also Sand Village ninjas wandering into the city in search of supplies, and several more battles broke out between the two sides, with corpses scattered everywhere.

Upon witnessing such a scene for the first time, Obito Uchiha felt his legs go weak and cold sweat break out on his forehead. Hearing his comrade's voice, he nervously pulled out a kunai.

"I...I will protect you."

Obito stammered out a sentence, and when he saw Kakashi suddenly disappear, he subconsciously took a step back.

A puppet lunged at the three of them, and Kakashi parried with his sword. Sparks flew as their weapons clashed.

"Obito, concentrate! It's the Sand Village's puppet squad!"

While shouting a warning, Namiashi Raito brandished his long sword, deflecting the densely packed senbon.

Nohara Rin also pulled out a kunai to block, and Obito, who had just come to his senses, was almost hit by the senbon, looking extremely disheveled.

The White Zetsu, who had followed Obito to Kikyo Castle, was speechless upon witnessing this scene. Although it was a inferior product, that Uchiha seemed even less capable than him:

"The ninjas' abilities are worse than expected. We must report this to Lord Madara. The Proxy Project needs to be improved."

Chapter 96 A ninja must be fully prepared!

In mid-April of Konoha Year 49, the battle at Kikyo Mountain was nearing its end, with Sunagakure's "suicide plan" inflicting considerable casualties on Konoha ninjas.

The Sand Village ninja faced death without resupply, thinking only of exchanging one for one. Their follow-up forces dispersed into smaller groups at Kikyo Mountain and launched a series of raids during this period.

This was the most devastating loss since the start of the war; not only was the ancient city destroyed, but the consensus that Konoha ninjas were the "strongest" was also shattered.

The battle between the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass also broke out, and the Konoha ninja were besieged by the Sand Village and the Stone Village, and their casualties gradually increased.

-

The war on the front lines was a good thing for Madara Uchiha, who was hiding on the Iron Country peninsula. He needed experimental subjects, and the war could help him solve that problem.

Above the Gedo Statue, the exceptionally cheerful White Zetsu jumped down from the giant arm, and, remembering the message his companion had just sent, reported back with a chuckle:

"Lord Ban, the executor failed to open his eyes in the war, and that idiot is still shedding tears on the battlefield."

"This guy really doesn't have much ninja talent, but that boy named Furukawa Osamu is definitely a genius!"

"It is said that he wiped out 1000 members of the Sand Village army by himself. I should have stayed by his side. He is a very powerful human."

"I wonder if there's anything special about his poop..."

Madara Uchiha's aged body became even more withered, and he remained silent for a long time with his head down.

Madara Uchiha only slightly raised his head and muttered with some disappointment when White Zetsu started clamoring to install an excretory system on him:

"The thrill of being between life and death didn't even open my eyes."

"The deeper the love, the stronger the power gained after opening one's eyes. Is it because the emotions haven't been accumulated enough?"

"Have the White Zetsu protect Nagato. If the Proxy Plan doesn't work, you must guide Nagato."

Madara Uchiha did not abandon Obito, but he needed double insurance.

If Obito were just an incompetent Uchiha, the plan would have to focus on Nagato.

"Lord Madara, shall we contact Uchiha Shisui? He is a true genius."

"The Sharingan with two tomoe possesses powerful ocular power. Based on the information obtained from observation, Uchiha Shisui was also a ninja who advocated peace."

Another White Zetsu suddenly appeared in front of Madara Uchiha and whispered a report: Obito is far inferior to Shisui, and the more carefully you observe, the more you can see this.

"No, eye power is not the problem. Uchiha who use external forces are not qualified to inherit my will."

"I will give him more opportunities. For his growth, we need to make some more plans."

"I haven't forgotten the energy that disappeared; you must always be vigilant."

After saying this, Madara Uchiha began to breathe heavily again. The Rinnegan needed to be awakened, and Nagato was the most crucial part of the plan.

The substitute is just a supplement. If the recent test subjects show someone who can control Hashirama's cells, then Obito Uchiha doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.

"Lord Madara, should we refocus our attention on Osamu Furukawa?"

"The traces left behind at Kikyo Castle indicate that the ninjutsu used by the other party was far more powerful than that of ordinary ninjas."

White Zetsu went with Obito to check outside the city and was shocked to find the ground sunken and cracked. He couldn't figure out what kind of ninjutsu Furukawa Osamu had used.

"Without the bloodline of the Uchiha and Senju clans, no matter how powerful the ninjutsu is, it is nothing more than some illusory power."

"Go gather information about that girl. If I can sever this love, my Sharingan will definitely be awakened."

After saying these words, Madara Uchiha suddenly recalled the time he spent training with Hashirama when he was a child, and then the scene of Hashirama stabbing him flashed through his mind:

"Be prepared. If the plan goes smoothly, you might just get a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."

"With such a force supervising and guiding Nagato, the plan will definitely go more smoothly."

White Zetsu didn't understand why Madara Uchiha still favored Obito, but the Creator's words had to be resolutely carried out, so for a moment the White Zetsu could only respond loudly.

Deep within the base, Furukawa Osamu's spirit was manipulating the White Zetsu's body to leave behind the Flying Thunder God Technique seal in a corner.

The map has been 90% explored, with only the area around the Outer Path Golem remaining inaccessible.

Furukawa Osamu wasn't sure if Uchiha Madara could still command the Gedo Mazo in battle. If the energy he [harvested] couldn't affect the opponent, these techniques would allow for a faster retreat.

"Lord Xiu, the acid mist ninjutsu you sent is very interesting!"

"I should be able to copy and use it. Is this the human girl's bloodline limit ability?"

The live slug, now free from resonance, appeared on my shoulder and asked in a cheerful tone.

This was the first time she had tried this entirely new way of using energy.

Furukawa Osamu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it could be used. Although he wasn't sure if the acid mist enhanced by Sage Mode could melt Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, it was necessary to prepare more methods.

"It's her ability; she possesses two bloodline limits, which is why she is hated by some people in the village."

“In a state of resonance, I will use hand seals to help you mobilize the energy in your body.”

"Since the underground environment is relatively enclosed, it might be able to amplify this power!"

The slug kept waving its antennae, seemingly very interested in fighting alongside them. Watching Furukawa Osamu diligently manipulate the marking spells with his clones, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Lord Xiu is truly cautious. I wish I had more combat abilities."

"You only live once, you've already done a great job!"

Osamu Furukawa praised sincerely, noting that without the limitations of chakra points and meridians in the human body, the energy in the slug's body could be released freely.

The same technique is more powerful with the live slug, which is determined by its size and body structure.

The slug continued to wriggle, and Furukawa Osamu's praise put her in a great mood.

"I should thank that girl next time; her ninjutsu was really interesting!"

Osamu Furukawa nodded. Mei Terumi said she wanted to kill him, but a few days later she complained to the spirit about her experiences and readily explained her ninjutsu.

Thinking about all the hard work he'd put in over the past few months, Furukawa Osamu secretly complained:
