Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 143 Black Zetsu's Unease, 500,000 Points

"Hokage-sama, are you alright?"

"Zero casualties, that's great! Thank goodness Lord Izayoi intervened in time!"

"That was too powerful. I felt like that punch could shatter a mountain."

"As expected of the legendary Wood Release!"

"..."

As the battle ended, the small, dark room, resembling a ghostly mask, slowly opened.

Konoha ninjas swarmed in, surrounding the bewildered Tsunade and the others, examining the bodies of the unconscious Anbu and ninjas, and arriving at data that brought everyone immense joy.

Thanks to Izayoi's timely intervention, all of his injured and bleeding companions survived.

Otsutsuki Toneri's attack only destroyed the Hokage Building.

"You're saying that besides the Hokage Building, there are three other places where the Four Red Sun Formation exists?"

Tsunade, who had just come to her senses, heard some bad news from Nara Shikaku, and her expression changed slightly.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikaku nodded respectfully and said, "Those three Four Red Yang Formations are respectively Lord Izayoi's house, the Uchiha clan's territory, and a waterfall in the suburbs."

"Why did that guy suddenly attack us, and with such a clear target?" Tsunade frowned. "Could it be that he wants to hunt us down, use our corpses to create human puppets, and strengthen his puppet army?"

"I find something strange."

Nara Shikaku calmly analyzed, "Based on my and the Hyuga clan members' observations, although these puppets target high-level combatants led by the Hokage, the puppets' chakra levels fluctuate. When fighting against several opponents, the puppet's chakra level may surge or even reach the level of the strongest target."

"In a one-on-one battle, the chakra of a human puppet is either on par with that of its opponent or slightly inferior."

"What's even stranger is that they didn't attack with the intention of killing their opponents, but rather to insert those black rods into their targets' bodies to disrupt the flow of chakra, and then knock them unconscious."

"He did not finish off the victim afterward, nor did he disappear with the unconscious person; instead, he teleported away on his own."

"This applies to both the Anbu and Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."

"This doesn't resemble hunting high-level combatants to create human puppets at all; it's more like an... experiment!"

Tsunade frowned again and said, "You mean he's using us to test the strength of those human puppets?"

“I think the odds are higher than hunting,” Nara Shikaku nodded. “Although chakra doesn’t represent strength, the condition for using the Four Red Yang Formation is that four ninjas with Five Kage-level chakra must be gathered. Four Four Red Yang Formations mean that the sixteen puppets used in the technique all have Five Kage-level chakra. Moreover, the puppets that fought the Hokage, Jiraiya, and Izayoi all have Five Kage-level chakra, and the other puppets are all ace fighters, or at least Special Jonin-level chakra…”

"All this chakra is conducted into the chakra core through those black rods, which is as absurd as tailed beasts. It's completely different from the information about the puppet army attacking Kumogakure last year."

"If I'm not mistaken, that Otsutsuki Toneri has already obtained a Tailed Beast, and may even have become a Jinchūriki."

After listening to Nara Shikaku's analysis, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the second round of the Sage's Eye will be coming soon. Faced with such overwhelming power, we, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, can only be reduced to a testing ground. It's truly frustrating."

"If it really was an experiment, perhaps not only Konoha would have been attacked, but other ninja villages would have been unable to avoid it either," Nara Shikaku sighed. "Perhaps, just as he called us, in front of the Sage's Eye, the ninjas of our five great ninja villages are nothing more than monkeys."

"I hope his goal is really just to retrieve the Gedo Mazo," Tsunade said in a deep voice. "If he retrieves the Gedo Mazo and goes back to the moon to continue being their high and mighty 'gods,' I would like to hope that the guy named Otsutsuki Toneri wins the second round of the duel."

Nara Shikaku remained silent; these things were beyond his comprehension.

However, just as Tsunade said, he also hoped that the visitors from the moon would win.

As long as that visitor from the moon defeats the leader of Akatsuki and returns to the moon with the Gedo Mazo, refusing to breathe the same air as the monkeys of the ninja world, then the future of the ninja world will be decided by the Wood Release ninjas of Konoha.

Since everyone in Konoha was on their side, and Izayoi didn't want to accidentally kill his future subordinate, he took the initiative to end the battle after the puppet defeated Uchiha Sasuke in just over half an hour.

Other ninja villages were not so lucky.

The ninja who was instantly killed was lucky enough to survive.

Those ninjas who managed to dodge the Lightning Release Chakra Mode + Yin-Yang Release Black Rods almost always ended up either dead or severely injured.

Unless it's a bloodline limit with a purple attribute, Izayoi's wood clones don't have the patience to play hide-and-seek with him. They start with a powerful attack with an amazing range or devastating damage.

The ninja with the purple attribute mark received Izayoi's leniency and patient companionship.

After all, the reason why Sasori and Deidara weren't killed by Izayoi back then was because they had good personalities and were both strong individuals with double purple attributes.

The cooldown period for purple-level attributes is a full year, meaning they can be harvested every year. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs would be such a waste.

Therefore, 95% of the ninjas who died in the four major ninja villages were ninjas without purple attributes.

The bodies of ninjas with purple stats who are mistakenly killed will be taken away by the puppets to strengthen the puppet army.

More than an hour later, the turmoil in the ninja world finally ended, and the human puppets left in the same way they had come.

All that remains is the ruins of the Five Shadows Building.

The five Kage, who were neither defeated nor killed, all wore expressions of anger and frustration, their eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Unfortunately, no matter how angry they were, it was just impotent rage.

The idea of ​​tearing Otsutsuki Toneri to pieces is just wishful thinking.

Faced with overwhelming power, the Five Kage are no different from ordinary people.

The enemy they are facing now is equivalent to Madara Uchiha without the restraint of Hashirama Senju.

In the following two days, Toneri Otsutsuki's fearsome reputation once again spread rapidly throughout the entire ninja world.

The small ninja village, which was outside the hunting range, breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a sense of schadenfreude.

Fortunately, they were too weak to be targeted by Otsutsuki Toneri.

Hopefully, the strength of these major ninja villages will continue to be weakened by Toneri Otsutsuki.

In this way, even if they are still no match for the great ninja village, their status will be elevated in the eyes of the great ninja village.

And the wishes of these small ninja villages were soon fulfilled.

A week after the turmoil ended, the major ninja villages were aware of each other's situation and analyzed Otsutsuki Toneri's intentions with their advisors. The Five Kage were hesitating about whether to hold a Five Kage Summit.

Human puppets once again descended upon the five great ninja villages, and the barrier rose again.

The number of human puppets that were airdropped this time was double that of the last time, but the barrier was no longer entirely the Four Red Yang Formation.

Only the Four Red Yang Formation trapped the Five Kage or Jinchuriki. The other puppets used the Four Purple Flame Formation to trap those ninjas with purple attributes, but which failed to appear last time and were not the targets of the previous operation.

Within a week, the ninjas' injuries had healed completely, and they were back to full health, ready to continue farming for stats.

Five wood clones are responsible for controlling the puppet army, while two more wood clones are responsible for recording information on ninjas with explosive or non-explosive attributes.

This attack, like all others, was clearly targeted.

Izayoi wouldn't give up until he got all the purple stats for the five great ninja villages. Whenever this happened, Izayoi would lament how shameless he was.

With the disappearance of the Senju clan, the dilution of their bloodline, and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki clan, and the Mizuki and Kaguya clans of Kirigakure... there are far too few bloodline limit ninja clans left in the ninja world.

Among them, the Hyuga clan of Konoha has the most members and can be considered a powerful clan.

But ironically, this bloodline limit ninja clan is Hinata's maternal family.

Hinata is the only one who knows Izayoi's Tenseigan and the secret that he is 'Otsutsuki Toneri'.

Although he knew Hinata wouldn't blame him, Izayoi couldn't bring himself to beat up his future father-in-law and the others.

In this peaceful era, the loss of talent is far too severe.

Konoha was ruined by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, and Kirigakure was reduced to the weakest village in terms of overall strength by Obito Uchiha.

These two ninja villages also have the largest number of bloodline limit ninja clans.

If Izayoi had been born during the First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War, or even the Third Shinobi World War, he could easily have earned a massive amount of points.

The Otsutsuki bloodline can also be obtained through drops, and then upgraded to a red attribute using points.

If he had developed his skills in a sneaky way, he would probably already have all the red or higher stats, and his strength would likely have already surpassed that of the Sage of Six Paths.

Fortunately, this era also had Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata, as well as Toneri Otsutsuki on the moon.

Izayoi's current targets are mainly Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha; attacking the Five Great Ninja Villages is just a side job to make some extra money.

Even if he's incredibly unlucky, he's guaranteed at least 100,000 points just for getting a single red-themed entry.

If Lady Luck were to steal a kiss from you, you might directly gain 990,000 points, which could be used to upgrade a red-level entry to an unknown new level at a 1:1 ratio.

So...

Every week thereafter, the puppet army would parachute into the five great ninja villages to farm stats.

Gradually, the five Kage all realized that Otsutsuki Toneri seemed to be using them as training grounds.

Most of the time, they knocked out or seriously injured their own subordinates, and any casualties were accidental killings due to excessive force.

The five Kage felt extremely aggrieved by this, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Especially the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage, if the Hidden Cloud Village had already built a chakra cannon, he would definitely be unable to resist blasting it towards the moon right now.

……

The situation of the five great ninja villages could not be kept secret from the Akatsuki organization, whose White Zetsu clones were spread throughout the ninja world.

At this moment, in the Kamui dimension, Nagato, Obito Uchiha, and the black and white Zetsu were having a meeting.

The topic of the meeting was Jinchūriki and Tailed Beasts.

“Except for the Three-Tails, which has not yet been resurrected, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tails through the Nine-Tails are still alive. That absurd amount of chakra doesn’t seem to be provided by the Tailed Beasts.” Black and White Zetsu reported to Nagato. White Zetsu asked with doubt, “Moreover, his training targets also included the One-Tails Jinchuriki of Sunagakure, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha. In the end, he did not kill these Jinchuriki, nor did he extract the Tailed Beasts from their bodies.”

“It seems the worst-case scenario you ever wanted has come to pass,” Obito Uchiha said. “He has obtained the Grell Stone mine.”

Nagato tapped the table made of wood release lightly with his fingers and analyzed in a low voice: "The energy of the Grell Stone is only pure natural energy and life force. The device for the mobile fortress only uses the energy inside to create armored men and cannot be converted into tailed beast-level chakra."

"If it's for training troops, those puppets shouldn't have massive amounts of chakra inside them. Instead, they should be like Hyde and his subordinates, transforming into all sorts of bizarre beasts, or... Sage Mode."

"This enormous amount of chakra means either Otsutsuki Toneri has received an amazing boost, or... he has obtained a chakra source similar to that of a tailed beast."

Black Zetsu fell silent, a renewed sense of unease rising within him as he felt himself slipping out of control.

The Reaper Death Seal technique allows only the caster and the victim to see the legendary Grim Reaper.

Otherwise, only those whose strength reaches the level and dimension of the Grim Reaper can sense and see the existence of the Grim Reaper.

Furthermore, the Nine-Tails' chakra was incredibly powerful; even without half of it, it was still stronger than the complete Eight-Tails. Black Zetsu was unaware that the Shinigami had split the Nine-Tails in two.

At first, he, like Nara Shikaku, suspected that Otsutsuki Toneri had obtained the tailed beast.

If that's the case, there's no need to panic, as long as the tailed beast isn't dead.

However, after investigating with White Zetsu, they discovered that none of the Jinchuriki were missing, which was truly terrifying.

What exactly is that enormous amount of chakra?
Where did it come from?!
Is it Otsutsuki Toneri's own, or something external?
Either way, it's bad news.

Even with his mind working better, Nagato couldn't figure it out this time, so he instructed Black and White Zetsu, "Zetsu, speed things up. My intuition tells me that once he completes this 'unknown purpose,' he will make his move against us."

"Yes!"

……

And so, two months later.

It's a new week again, and the five great ninja villages, already accustomed to the air raids by the puppet army, are on high alert.

However, even late into the night, no puppet appeared out of thin air.

The same thing happened the following day.

The third day was the same...

The five Kage and the ninjas from the five great ninja villages all looked somewhat dazed, as if they couldn't quite believe that the nightmare was over.

As the week went by and no puppets were seen descending, their tense nerves finally relaxed.

Some ninjas with strong mental fortitude even couldn't help but shed tears.

It's finally...it's finally over!

The devil who didn't kill them but only enjoyed tormenting them finally let them go.

Little did they know, they had only temporarily lost their value.

Once the chives have grown, the harvesting blade may arrive at any moment.

……

"Soon, soon..."

In the hot spring pool, Izayoi looked at her personal panel in front of her and murmured to herself.

On the personal panel, a six-figure number was displayed in the points section.

【Points: 799999】

After two months of unbridled hunting, Izayoi has amassed... 500,000 points!
