Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Hmph! What a boring meeting."

The Fourth Raikage ignored the three old men, turned around and left, leaving Tsuchikage behind to apologize in a low voice.

Chiyo looked at the three of them thoughtfully, then whispered something to Rasa, who was about to leave. In the end, the Fourth Kazekage and his group decided to stay for a day, and Mifune welcomed them with a smile.

-

In the afternoon, in the southwestern part of the Land of Iron, far from Mount Sanrou, the three old men looked back simultaneously. Further ahead lay a vast pine forest; they should part ways here.

"What a beautiful snow scene! It's a completely different view from Kirigakure."

"Mizukage, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say."

Onoki feigned annoyance and complained, while Rōshi and Kōtsuchi behind him looked at the group warily.

"Yes, at our age, there's no need to beat around the bush anymore."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, adjusting his Hokage hat, glanced sideways at the Mizukage. The meeting had surprised him; the other party genuinely came with great sincerity to call for peace.

Shuiying, still squinting, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the cold weather. Turning to look at the two, she inexplicably uttered:

"I have achieved my wish. Now, it is your final dance."

The Mizukage suddenly raised his left and right hands slightly, and without any warning, used a ninjutsu. The time-freezing water droplets that erupted from his fingertips disappeared with a bang, as if breaking the sound barrier.

"The art of water and iron cannons!"

Chapter 117 The Nemesis of Elderly Ninjas...

On January 7th of the new year, the five great ninja villages reached a preliminary peace agreement. On this day, many envoys from small countries were still celebrating in their inns when a battle suddenly broke out on the outskirts of Sanrou Mountain.

Before Iwagakure's yellow earth could react, seeing Onoki hit in the head, it instinctively yelled:

"Father!"

Behind him, Old Purple stared expressionlessly at Onoki, who had turned to stone. He then looked up in the direction of the other two, and finding that the Hokage was gone, Furukawa swung his short sword to his side.

"Did you cleave the ninjutsu with a sword?"

Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to retreat to a distance with Hiruzen Sarutobi. He drew a specially made kunai and held it in front of him, calmly questioning Onoki who had emerged from the ground:

"Lord Tsuchikage, are you trying to break the peace agreement that was just signed?"

"No, as the Tsuchikage, I will not let the village's ninjas die meaninglessly. Now that I have the opportunity to kill you, such a great threat, it is my responsibility!"

Onoki's gaze towards Minato Namikaze was filled with hatred. He quickly flew into the sky and shouted a warning:

"Old Purple! You should understand the threat he poses to us. Kill the Yellow Flash, cooperate with the Mizukage to capture the Hokage, and then we'll negotiate with them to divide up the Land of Wind's commission!"

"This is how ninjas negotiate! Han has already begun operations on the front lines!"

Upon hearing that Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, had launched an attack on Konoha, Roshi showed a pained expression and subconsciously muttered:

"So you two were in contact all along. I thought you really wanted peace..."

Seeing that the black lines continuously emerging from the heart of the Mizukage offered no resistance, Furukawa Osamu gripped his short sword tightly with both hands, azure blades of light appeared, and he assumed a thrusting stance before vanishing in an instant.

"Let the small fry leave the stage!"

"Uh..."

The user of the twin swords, Hiramekarei, with its pointed hair, had just drawn his swords when Furukawa Osamu's short sword pierced his chest. He let out a muffled groan and slowly collapsed to the ground with an incredulous expression.

"What! You bastard!"

Juzo Biwa shouted and cursed, retreating to the Mizukage's side with a look of terror on his face. His eyes darted around, and when he couldn't find the Flying Thunder God's kunai, he gripped the Executioner's Blade in his hand even tighter.

While the old men were talking nonsense, Furukawa Osamu's iron sand spread underground, and the Flying Thunder God technique was already set up.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Beneath the Mizukage's hat, the Third Mizukage, his face half-blackened, realized the battle environment was problematic. Suddenly, a swirling, violent torrent of water rushed towards Furukawa Osamu and the ground.

Large pine trees were swept up by the waves, and a massive ninjutsu technique successfully altered the terrain, causing the ground to cave in and revealing a vast body of water in front of the two.

"Lord Mizukage!"

Juzo Biwa cried out in alarm again, but the latter ignored the shout and continued to unleash his ninjutsu wildly as the massive fireball hurtled towards him.

"Water Release: Water Pillar!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

The massive flow of water first blocked the fireball, stirring up bursts of mist, and then a ferocious water dragon swiftly pounced. The sheer scale of the ninjutsu was something no elderly ninja could possibly accomplish.

Faced with the continuous water-based attacks, Furukawa Osamu formed a hand seal, and the water around him spun rapidly, transforming into spinning spikes that lunged at the water dragon.

"boom!"

The clash of ninjutsu produced a loud bang, and Juzo Biwa's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that Water Release: Water Fang Bullet would be so powerful in Osamu Furukawa's hands.

"Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique..."

Pipa Juzo hurriedly unleashed the ninjutsu that the Hidden Mist Ninja were best at, and for a moment a large pine forest was covered by thick fog. Just as he was about to use his assassination technique, he suddenly felt a wave of heat.

Furukawa Shu's shadow clone ignored the dense fog, formed hand seals, and unleashed a full-force ninjutsu:

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

"You're kidding..."

As Pipa Juzo looked at the suddenly appearing enormous "sea of ​​fire," he murmured to himself. The heat wave was already hitting his face, and the thick fog was dissipating at a visible speed.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

The Third Mizukage hurriedly used ninjutsu again to barely block the wave of fire. Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong and, without bothering to warn his subordinates, used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly disappear from the spot.

The flames suddenly turned orange-red, and the power of the ninjutsu increased dramatically. Kizuko felt as if all the moisture in the air had vanished. In terror, his chakra exploded beneath his feet, followed by a bloodcurdling scream:

"what!"

A wave of orange-red fire swept across the space several hundred meters in front of Furukawa Osamu. With the enhancement of the Scorching Release technique, the earth cracked and the surrounding air became extremely dry.

A dark, withered figure lay on the ground, still tightly gripping the half-melted Executioner's Blade before its death. Even in the end, Kizo Biwa couldn't understand why the Fire Release ninjutsu was so powerful.

The Third Mizukage, who had barely escaped the range of the ninjutsu, had his hat mostly burned off, and his clothes were burned through in many places. Before he could gather enough chakra, he heard a whoosh of wind in his ear.

"call out!"

A giant shuriken imbued with lightning chakra appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Water flowed around the Third Mizukage again, and when he unfolded the shuriken, reflective threads became visible:

"not good!"

In the distance, Furukawa Osamu threw the summoning scroll aside, then suddenly pulled his right arm, causing the shurikens flying into the sky to rapidly separate, before crashing down on the Third Mizukage.

His aged body had finally reached its limit. The moment a shuriken grazed his shoulder, the numbness caused his dodging speed to decrease again.

In the end, the Third Mizukage could only unleash the full power of his newly refined chakra, sending swirling water soaring into the sky, while giant shuriken clattered and clanged as they fell.

"call..."

The Third Mizukage, who was breathing heavily, narrowed his eyes and hurriedly twisted his body to dodge.

Not far away, black lightning crackled continuously on Furukawa Osamu's right hand, and a black light blade pierced through the Third Mizukage's body in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the Third Mizukage's disheveled and white-haired appearance, Furukawa Osamu unleashed his Sage Mode chakra once more. Black electricity instantly shot out from the Third Mizukage's body, and the old man threw his head back and screamed in agony.

"what!"

"Old man, isn't it good to be alive?"

The Third Mizukage's body was charred black, and the black lightning on his body seemed to be alive, constantly spreading throughout his body.

The old man knelt on the muddy ground. Although he hadn't been hit in a vital spot, he could no longer refine his chakra. Knowing his death was imminent, he instead smiled.

"For a ninja, dying in battle is the best end."

Spitting out mouthfuls of blood, the Third Mizukage felt his body collapsing. Only then did he barely sense that Osamu Furukawa's spirit was eroding his own.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this...?"

Sage Chakra contains spiritual consciousness. Once it enters a living being, Osamu Furukawa can imbue his attacks with life force, thereby causing destruction from the inside out.

"The puppet doesn't need to know too much. Is it a combination of puppetry and Yin-Yang Escape?"

"The curse mark on your heart is made with entirely new technology!"

After carefully sensing the surroundings, Furukawa Osamu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Madara Uchiha was still teaching him new knowledge. Even after running away with his body in collapse last time, he was still able to continue to "contribute his remaining energy".

"I've finally regained my sense of freedom..."

"Young man, thank you. That peace agreement proves that I existed."

The Third Mizukage was covered in blood, his lightning-attribute sage chakra destroying every cell in his body. After saying these words, the old man lay motionless on the ground.

Furukawa Osamu smoothly completed the [gathering], and after carefully sensing his surroundings, he discovered that Rōshi was actually just going through the motions, only using ranged ninjutsu, which completely put his mind at ease.

"What can Onoki do about a Jinchūriki who advocates peace..."

-

Seeing the exaggerated scale of the ninjutsu, Onoki and his group, who were locked in battle in the distance, couldn't help but quicken their pace of attack.

Old Purple, having entered Lava Release Chakra Mode, destroyed the specially made kunai around him, continuously spewing out magma balls, preventing Minato from getting close enough to attack.

After Onoki's Dust Release went astray, he became somewhat passive. Although he was in the air, Hiruzen Sarutobi's staff kept slashing down, and for a moment he could only shout:

"Yellow earth! Entangle him!"

The old man was interrupted because he was too slow in using ninjutsu. Suddenly, a strong arm appeared on the stick that was sweeping towards him again, and the old man who was almost caught hurriedly dodged a distance.

Minato Namikaze naturally sensed the disappearance of the three streams of chakra, which happened even faster than he had anticipated.

Noticing the Third Hokage nimbly chasing Ōnoki with his staff, Minato Namikaze looked at the Four-Tails Jinchūriki in front of him and earnestly advised:

"If you launch another surprise attack on the Land of Grass, war will break out again!"

"I know you didn't fight with all your might. Tell the Tsuchikage to stop. I don't want to engage in meaningless killing."

Old Purple was enveloped in a red glow, his body covered in crimson chakra. At this moment, he was in perfect harmony with both offense and defense. He stopped in his tracks and ceased unleashing ninjutsu, calmly responding:

"He is the Tsuchikage, and he has the authority to make any decision."

"But I will not become a puppet of war. Everyone must be responsible for their own choices. I am just following my heart."

While still drifting in the sky, Onoki seemed to have heard these words. The old man's nose turned red with anger, and he pointed at his own Jinchuriki, shouting as he broke through his defenses:

"You're clearly the best person to deal with him; he can't hurt you at all!"

"Every time the front lines need you most, you always disappear. You are a disgrace to the Hidden Stone Village..."

Ouch! My back!

Onoki was suddenly struck by the club that came crashing down, and with a loud thud, he slammed to the ground. Rōshi immediately returned to the Tsuchikage's side, looked down at the fully armed Hiruzen Sarutobi, and said:

"I'm very sorry, Hokage-sama, this is not the result the Iwagakure ninjas expected."

"The peace agreement remains in effect, and we will soon withdraw from the Land of Grass."

"As for the agreement between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, I'm not very clear about it. The Fourth Raikage's hasty return must be for other purposes."

His own Jinchuriki immediately contradicted his decision, and the prideful Onoki, ignoring the wounded Hiruzen Sarutobi, glared at Rōshi and shouted angrily:

"Do you want to betray the Iwagakure ninja?"

"If you could kill Minato Namikaze, everything would be different. Do you know how much I paid for this day?"

"You are the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure, the strongest fighter, yet you spend all your time holed up in the valley!"

"I won't ask you to use the Tailed Beast Ball on ordinary ninjas. I respect your choice, but have you considered the village?"

Furukawa Osamu suddenly appeared beside the Third Hokage, and Onoki, his face flushed, stopped scolding him. He looked at the calm Hiruzen Sarutobi and muttered helplessly:

"So you knew all along that the Mizukage was destined to fail?"

"Haha, Xiu won't show any mercy to us old men. That agreement is still valid."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily, took the Hokage hat from Minato, put it on his head, and without looking at the Iwagakure group again, immediately turned and left.

"Onoki, controlling the number of ninjas is the only way out for Iwagakure."

"The Fourth Hokage won't be as easy to talk to as I am. The future belongs to the young."

Huang Tu hurriedly tugged at his father's sleeve. Without Lao Zi's help, there was no chance of victory. Onoki looked at the pine forest destroyed by ninjutsu in the distance, and finally clutched his waist, letting out a soft groan.

"I'm not old yet! It's all that traitor Luo Sha's fault..."
