Chapter 393 The Truth Behind the Attack

Rank A Lightning Release: Force Lightning

This is, of course, in COS-Sis.

As a transmigrator and a former immortal, his control and application of energy far surpasses that of the natives of this world.

The common ninjutsu in this world requires the ability to form hand seals to guide energy in order to release the ninjutsu.

For this reason, over the past thousand years, ninjas around the world have developed many different ninjutsu in this way.

But is chakra such an inconvenient thing?

The correct way to unleash power is to clap your hands together, just like in the original game.

Unfortunately, this method requires a very high level of control over chakra, and very few people can actually do it.

Because the first generation was able to do this entirely through talent, it is very difficult to pass on.

Asuma is different; he is one of these rare individuals. Moreover, he is a theorist and a technologist. Compared to the first generation, he has another advantage: he is more knowledgeable and experienced.

He had seen far too many ways energy was used.

For example, his railgun, and his current Force Lightning.

The Railgun is inspired by Misaka Mikoto, while the Force Lightning is naturally derived from the Sith warriors of Star Wars.

He figured them all out based on his own insights and experience.

And all the ninjutsu he created were unsealed ninjutsu. Why is that?

These ninjutsu require extremely high levels of chakra control, making them impossible to complete even with numerous hand seals.

Therefore, we simply left it unprinted.

With a single blow, the attacking ninjas scattered and fled, but neither Asuma nor Hiruzen would allow them to escape.

Especially Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been getting increasingly angry from these unexpected events, was now seeing a clue and was not about to let them escape so easily.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
He unleashed a powerful attack, sending three fire dragons surging forth and charging into the battlefield. Meanwhile, on the other side, the straight bolt of lightning in Asuma's hand suddenly split apart, transforming into a dense electric net that enveloped the area.

A-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Ion Storm
The father and son attacked simultaneously. The ninjas running across the battlefield had no chance to fight back or escape under their wide-ranging attacks. With Rasa also attacking from behind, they were defeated in just a few breaths.

However, what was unexpected was that after these attackers were defeated, they all committed suicide by poison without hesitation. Upon closer inspection, their brains were found to have been completely destroyed by the spell, so even the mountain clan could not read their information.

"The technique of 'severing the root of calamity through the tongue,' and you still say it wasn't from the root of Konoha?" Rasa looked at the corpses on the ground, his face showing anger.

"Is the Tongue-Slaying Technique necessarily Root?" Asuma walked over, his face full of disdain, kicked a corpse, and sent the ninja sword in its hand flying. "Didn't you notice? They are three of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist."

The Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist?

Upon hearing this word, Luo Sha's expression immediately changed. He hadn't noticed it before because the battle was too intense, but upon closer inspection, he realized, "Oh, it really is!"

Broken sword - decapitation sword, long sword - sewing needle, blunt sword - heel cut...

Aren't these three of the legendary Seven Ninja Swords? They're actually from Kirigakure?
Yes, it was Kirigakure. Recalling the battle, the Hidden Mist Technique, the Silent Assassination Technique—these were definitely Kirigakure's standard equipment, plus those three ninja swords…

"It's Kirigakure! They first disguised themselves as Konoha's Root members to attack the delegation, but they didn't succeed completely. Tonight, they attacked the delegation again, intending to frame Konoha. Rasa, it seems Kirigakure really wants our two villages to fight!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, immediately shifting all the blame onto Kirigakure.

"We will investigate this matter."

The fresh corpse and the three ninja swords were the best evidence. Even if Rasa had doubts, he couldn't find any grounds for argument and could only give a curt reply.

"Not only you, but also Konoha! Hmph, secretly infiltrating Konoha and attacking the delegation—they completely disregard Konoha! Kirigakure must be held accountable for this!"

Rasa didn't speak. Whether he believed it or not was another matter. He was now looking at the injured Sand Ninja with a pained expression, as well as the corpses.

These were all his trusted men. Who would have thought Konoha was so useless, allowing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to infiltrate their territory and cause trouble? This time, he brought only his most trusted men with him to Konoha. With so many dying in Konoha, his strength has been weakened to some extent. Going back to compete for the Kazekage position will probably require a much greater price than he imagined.

After gathering the wounded and settling the delegation, midnight had already passed. However, this was none of Asuma's business; he had already left while Rasa and Hiruzen were exchanging official pleasantries.

Deep within the Death Forest, in a laboratory extending underground.
Asuma's figure flashed into view.

"You came!"

Just as they entered the laboratory, Orochimaru appeared, but not in his true form, but in a clone.

"If you hadn't come soon, you would have turned Konoha upside down." Asuma rolled his eyes.

At first, he was confused about what happened today, thinking that Danzo had gone mad. But when he saw three of the Seven Ninja Swords, he knew who the mastermind behind this was. After all, he had been in contact with Orochimaru for more than two years and naturally knew that these three ninja swords had long been under Orochimaru's control.

So, this was all Orochimaru's doing.

The question is, why would he do this, and what benefit would it bring him?

Following the clone, they arrived at the deepest part of the underground laboratory, where Orochimaru was curiously dissecting a middle-aged ninja on the experiment.

"What exactly are you trying to do? Why did you attack the delegation?" Asma came up behind him and asked directly.

"War." Orochimaru continued his work without looking up, his tone utterly indifferent. "I need a great war that sweeps across the ninja world. There are too few experimental subjects; I need more, more control groups." Orochimaru raised his head and said, "My experiments have reached their most critical moment. I need blood samples from the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, a large number of blood samples from ninjas with bloodline limits, and more corpses. How can I get all that without war?"

"So your purpose in doing this is to start a war?"

"What do you think? I need a lot of material, and this material is not easy to find. Only war, a brutal war, will provide enough material to complete my research."

Thinking about the progress of Orochimaru's experiments, Asuma finally understood.

The attack on the Sunagakure delegation was indeed part of a conspiracy, but it wasn't anything profound. Orochimaru was more like stirring up trouble, dragging both villages into the war so that his experiments could proceed more quickly.

After all, although there are many people in this world with the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, they are very difficult to obtain. Only by initiating a great war can we have the opportunity to collect enough materials on the battlefield, and that is enough.
