Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 142 Sudden Wealth, A Hero Who Directed and Starred in His Own Act
"Damn it! You, a dignified visitor from the moon, call us ninjas monkeys. Why don't you dare to fight me openly and fairly?"

Above the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure, Onoki floated in the air, cursing loudly at the puppet squad fighting the Anbu on the rooftop below.

Unlike other ninja villages that still had spare space, the four puppets that parachuted into Iwagakure almost reached the Tsuchikage Building and used the Four Red Sun Formation to separate the Tsuchikage Building from Iwagakure.

The barrier doesn't just rise into the air; it also sinks into the ground, where another barrier seals the unseen depths.

Unless one possesses the power to break the barrier or attacks the caster through it, even if one can fly or teleport, one cannot escape the barrier's cage.

No one from the outside can get in, and no one from the inside can get out.

Whether it's Onoki, the Anbu of Iwagakure, or the ninjas inside the Tsuchikage Building, they can only move around inside the Tsuchikage Building.

The same applies to the puppet squad that was airdropped into the Tsuchikage Building.

That's why Onoki's defenses were so easily breached.

Inside the Tsuchikage Building, there were very few human puppets; the rest were all his subordinates.

They wouldn't even send their subordinates on top-secret missions, and instead spent a fortune hiring Onoki from the Akatsuki organization, so they were simply unable to unleash the devastating Dust Release at full power.

If it weren't for the barrier, Onoki would have already ordered all his subordinates to retreat and used Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique to instantly kill all the human puppets.

Now, Onoki could only watch helplessly as the puppets entangled his subordinates, and he dared not use either Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique or Dust Release: Primal World Separation Technique.

He was afraid of destroying the Tsuchikage Building and turning it into ruins.

Onoki wasn't distressed about the expensive Tsuchikage Building, which also represented the flag of Iwagakure. Instead, he was worried that if the Tsuchikage Building collapsed, countless of his subordinates would be crushed to death.

Those puppets were all corpses, but his subordinates were all living, breathing people.

At this moment, Onoki understood the feelings of the Akatsuki organization and the Hidden Cloud Village.

This kind of person has no bottom line, a despicable character, and yet is extremely powerful. They are truly disgusting!
Seeing that the puppet squad was ignoring him, Onoki had no choice but to land and use other ninjutsu to help his subordinates deal with the puppets.

Unlike Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, which all airdrop dozens or hundreds of puppets, Kirigakure uses other methods.

Sunagakure only airdropped about ten puppets, and they weren't limited to the Kazekage Building. Instead, three puppets were used to hold off Chiyo, Ebizo, and Gaara, while the other puppets went to hunt down the extremely rare bloodline limit holders.

After all, every bloodline limit holder has a purple attribute, and getting one can easily earn four-figure points.

……

To avoid arousing suspicion, Izayoi treats everyone equally, whether they are outsiders or her own people.

As the Four Red Yang Formation rose, surrounding the entire Hokage Building, Konoha instantly descended into chaos.

As the sirens blared, the Konoha ninjas quickly organized the villagers to head to the shelter, and then a large number of ninjas arrived outside the barrier.

"Covered in black rods, yet lacking the characteristics of the Rinnegan, and this number of human puppets... it's Otsutsuki Toneri!"

"If just four puppet clones possess enough chakra to unleash the Four Red Yang Formation, just how vast is the chakra of that Otsutsuki Toneri?!"

"Lord Hokage is in grave danger. Is there any way to break this barrier?"

"The barrier is a complete blockade; even earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape) cannot penetrate it. Only by forcibly breaking the barrier or attacking the caster through it can it be broken. However... the defensive power of the Four Crimson Sun Formation is dozens of times that of the Four Purple Flame Formation."

"Then what can we do? Are we just supposed to watch helplessly?"

"..."

The sounds came from all directions, and the Konoha ninjas jumped up and down in a panic.

Some impatient ninjas, or those who had never witnessed the power of the barrier, even tried to crash into it to see just how strong its defense was. Luckily, they were pulled back in time by those around them, or they would have been reduced to charcoal.

Just then, a ninja wearing a vest and sporting a pineapple-shaped hairstyle, clearly a member of the Nara clan, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I've got it! We can go find Lord Izayoi. His Wood Release should be able to directly injure the caster!"

"Quickly! Go and inform Lord Izayoi!"

Those around immediately agreed, and soon some people were preparing to take action.

At that moment, the words that had shocked them rang out again.

"This is terrible! Lord Izayoi's house is also trapped by the Four Red Yang Formation, as are the Uchiha clan's territory and the waterfall area on the outskirts!"

"Damn it, just how much chakra does that guy have? Even tailed beasts aren't this powerful!"

"..."

Indeed, when Izayoi gets serious, she doesn't even spare herself.

Although his Flying Thunder God Technique has not yet been revealed, only a few people know that he knows space-time ninjutsu.

However, Wood Release can also break through barriers, so Izayoi could only stage her own performance to have a stronger opponent hold her back.

That powerful figure was not Toneri Otsutsuki, who was transformed from a wooden clone, but Danzo, who had received an epic-level power-up.

To avoid destroying her own home, Izayoi also lured Danzo to the arena, where she set up a barrier and engaged in a fierce battle with him.

The forest created by Wood Release obstructs the view of onlookers and helps to resist the destructive power of the Five Elements Release techniques.

The explosions continued to rumble.

Those who cannot see the scene inside can only imagine the battle by observing the size of the explosion and the changes in the nature of the chakra that collide with the barrier.

Hinata, the only one who knew that Izayoi was Toneri Otsutsuki, opened her Byakugan at home to observe the movements of Konoha, and unusually looked bewildered.

Izayoi-kun, what are you doing?
However, as a virtuous wife, Hinata blindly stood on Izayoi's side, believing that Izayoi must have his reasons for attacking his own people.

All you need to do is pretend you don't see it and cooperate when the time is right.

Hinata then put on her best acting skills, running outside the barrier of the arena and pretending to look worriedly inside with her Byakugan.

Just as worried as Hinata was Izayoi's future father-in-law.

Hinata's worry was feigned, but Hiashi Hyuga's was genuine.

"Didn't those people say they came down for the Gedo Mazo? Why did they suddenly attack Konoha? What exactly do they want?" Hiashi Hyuga wondered to himself.

……

On an open ground near the Naka River, Uchiha Sasuke stared at the human puppet in front of him, his three-tomoe Sharingan piercing through the puppet's chakra. He frowned slightly and asked, "Human puppet, are you the leader of Akatsuki, or Otsutsuki Toneri?"

The puppet didn't speak, but instead raised its hand and used Yin-Yang Release to create a black longsword. Then, it wrapped itself in Lightning Release nature transformation and rushed towards Uchiha Sasuke.

"Hmph... No matter who you are, since you didn't come in your true form, then stay here forever." Uchiha Sasuke sneered, also wielding the Kusanagi sword, and charged forward to meet the attack.

……

"Black rod, human puppet, no Rinnegan, you are... Otsutsuki Toneri!"

At the waterfall, Jiraiya shielded Naruto behind him, his eyes warily fixed on the two puppets in front of him, instantly recognizing their identities.

After all, it was Pain who told Tsunade about the Six Paths of Pain, and then Tsunade shared it with the various ninja villages.

"Otsutsuki Toneri?" Naruto Uzumaki paused for a moment, then scratched his head in confusion, "Why does this name sound familiar? Where have I heard it before?"

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails within Naruto's body widened its eyes, its gaze filled with disbelief, and exclaimed, "My chakra, there's absolutely no mistake... This is my chakra! It wasn't Madara who obtained my other half, but this guy! No wonder my other half didn't react at all; it turns out it's the power of the ultimate eye technique!"

After the initial shock, Yang Jiuwei grinned excitedly and said, "Well done! You can use my chakra as you please, whether it's attacking Konoha or seizing the Gedo Mazo. Let my other half lend you a hand!"

Rather than letting the Yin Nine-Tails fall into the hands of Uchiha Madara, I would prefer the Yang Nine-Tails to fall into the hands of Otsutsuki Toneri.

After all, Otsutsuki Toneri shares the same surname as the old man of the Six Paths, and he did so in order to retrieve the Gedo Mazo.

If Toneri Otsutsuki wins, the Rinnegan might be retrieved, and the Nine-Tails wouldn't have to worry about the tailed beasts turning back into the Ten-Tails.

In other words, Izayoi's wood clone did not become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; otherwise, it would have immediately become the perfect Jinchuriki.

The two puppets didn't waste any words either, and rushed straight towards Jiraiya and Naruto.

Jiraiya originally intended to fight two opponents at once to protect Naruto Uzumaki as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, these two seemingly ordinary puppets instantly entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, using close-range teleportation at a speed comparable to the Flying Thunder God Technique to separate him from Naruto Uzumaki.

Jiraiya wanted to go and help, but he couldn't get around the puppet at all. He could only quickly use the Ninja Art: Needle Jizo to defend himself, and then use the Summoning Jutsu to summon Fukasaku and Shima to help him enter Sage Mode.

"You stinky fox, lend me your chakra!"

On the other side, Naruto was grabbed by the neck by a puppet and thrown a great distance away. After landing, he immediately created a large number of shadow clones and urged the Nine-Tails within his body to activate.

However, the Nine-Tails, which usually responds to a call and is eager to enter its half-tailed beast form, withdrew its leaked chakra this time and ignored it.

Helpless, Naruto Uzumaki could only use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, along with the Rasengan and Wind Release techniques to counterattack.

However, all his techniques were useless against human puppets who had mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique, as well as the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In just over ten rounds, Naruto Uzumaki was pierced by a puppet with Yin-Yang Release: Black Rods, which sealed off the flow of chakra, ending the battle.

Seeing that Naruto was defeated and no new affixes had appeared, the puppet stunned him again, but still no new affixes appeared.

Then, the puppet teleported away and went to another battlefield, leaving this place to another puppet and Jiraiya.

The turmoil in the five great ninja villages lasted only a little over an hour and quickly came to an end.

Without a strategic-level bloodline limit, it cannot unleash the Super Hurricane Ball. In addition to its own abilities, the human puppet can only use the five elemental ninjutsu mastered by Izayoi, some forbidden techniques from the Book of Seals, as well as Yin-Yang Release and Light Bullets.

With the near-limitless chakra provided by the Nine-Tails, each puppet possesses the ability to challenge the Five Kage.

Human puppets like Aburame Torune, who possess nano-sized poisonous insects, have the power to kill even the Five Kage if they touch them.

However, even the Five Kage did not have the fighting power to deal with a major ninja village. Even the Third Raikage and Onoki, who were at the pinnacle of the Five Kage, were no exception.

Izayoi also conducted two experiments, and the puppet army was unable to defeat the Cloud Ninja forces.

The target was Izayoi, who was farming points, and the attack did not involve the simultaneous attack on the five great ninja villages.

Therefore, for this hunt, Izayoi only set his sights on the Five Kage and the Anbu of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Even those were just incidental; Izayoi's real targets were actually Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

When dealing with people from other ninja villages, the puppets are used with half-hearted force and half-killing intent.

The first move is Lightning Release Chakra Mode + Yin Yang Release: Black Rod. Anyone caught in this trap will instantly feel as if they've been hit by the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, unable to flow chakra and perform any ninjutsu.

At this point, the human puppets will show mercy and only knock them unconscious.

If someone dodges the puppet's initial attack, the puppet will no longer aim to subdue the opponent. Instead, it will use the Five Elements Escape Technique, a forbidden technique from the Book of Seals, or its own abilities to severely injure the target before finishing them off.

Each puppet has its own goal, or it may fight against several opponents. After defeating the opponent, the puppet will teleport away and disappear.

If the target is killed, the puppet will disappear with the target's corpse.

Since the opponents were all the Five Kage and the Anbu, as well as those who possessed bloodline limits, each time the puppet won, either nothing would happen, or one or two, or several, beams of light of different colors would fly out from the enemy's body and head towards Konoha.

Izayoi acted out a scene with Lord Danzo for half an hour, while system notifications kept ringing in her mind.

Izayoi broke down all the entries into points.

Only after the Wood Clone relayed information in real time, and both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha had been defeated and no new entries were revealed, did Izayoi finally end the game and get serious.

"Sage Mode - Activate!"

Izayoi clapped her hands, and red eyeshadow appeared at the corners of her eyes, turning her blue pupils gold.

Immediately, he uttered a soft shout: "Sage Art... Wood Release: Ranking Technique!"

"Sage Art... Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique!"

At that moment, the Konoha ninjas all felt the ground beneath their feet suddenly tremble slightly.

Before they could sense it closely, they saw that the Hokage Building, which had already been reduced to ruins by the Five Elements Ninjutsu and the two super-strong women, Tsunade and Karin, suddenly had parts of the ground turn into wood. Then, as if it were being shaped by Earth Release, it liquefied and formed a mask that looked like a demon god. It closed like two doors, trapping all the unconscious and still fighting Konoha ninjas inside.

At the same time, the earth cracked and shattered, and then one after another, giant wooden fists burst out of the ground, carrying terrifying power at extremely high speed, directly blasting the human puppets into the sky.

The four puppets maintaining the Four Red Sun Formation were blasted into pieces by a single punch.

Many of the human puppets that were blasted into the sky were also shattered into pieces, and the black rods and nails on many of them were ejected as if they had been hit by a huge force.

Only a small portion of the puppets were able to teleport away in time.

The battle ended in an instant.

The barrier vanished in an instant.

The Konoha ninjas, who were outside looking extremely worried and anxious but completely powerless, all gaped in astonishment.

Without any exaggerated scenes or an astonishingly vast forest of trees, Izayoi, through a simple offensive and defensive maneuver, made the Konoha ninjas feel the power and security of Wood Release.

"This...this is too exaggerated! Is this the legendary power of Wood Release?"

Jiraiya, in Sage Mode, stared wide-eyed as he watched the puppet, which he and two other Sages had failed to defeat, being blasted to pieces by a giant wooden fist that burst from the ground.

Meanwhile, the sages Fukasaku and Shima on Jiraiya's shoulders exclaimed in astonishment, "Such powerful Sage Chakra!"

Without even appearing, she ended the battle with a single combo, calming the turmoil of Izayoi and shining brightly throughout the arena.

His reputation in Konoha will surely reach a new peak afterward.

Last year he was just a supernova, known as Konoha's rising star.

But this time, by turning the tide and instantly defeating those puppets who could fight on par with the Hokage and the Anbu, Izayoi will surely be crowned as a hero of Konoha.

With him being the sole candidate for the Sixth Hokage, no one could challenge his position.

Little did anyone know, Izayoi was merely directing and acting in her own self-destructive act, a double whammy.
