The Third Tsuchikage, hovering in mid-air, saw this and his mustache bristled with rage. Although there weren't many Jonin around this intruder, their performance was utterly appalling.

The Third Tsuchikage didn't give them another chance, immediately forming hand seals and unleashing his signature technique.

"Dust Escape - Technique for Detaching the Primal World"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, raised his hands, and a semi-transparent cube appeared between them. From the center of this cube, a burst of white light erupted and shot downwards towards the short figure below.

This figure was already bound by the Weighted Rock Technique, and later, in order to defend against the ninjutsu of the Hidden Stone Village ninjas, he used the Earth Spear Technique to make his body even heavier. When he encountered the Tsuchikage's Dust Release, he was unable to dodge at all and was directly vaporized by the white light.

After seeing the troublesome intruder below vaporize, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, snorted coldly and flew towards the intruder closest to him.

At this moment, Uchiha Kagami, standing atop the peak, showed no anger at the Third Tsuchikage killing his clone; instead, he revealed a satisfied smile.

Uchiha Kakuzan slowly closed his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. In just a short while, Uchiha Kakuzan had already learned all of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's signature ninjutsu through his eye technique—the Copying Eye: Light and Heavy Rock Technique, Heavy Rock Technique, and Bloodline Limit: Dust Release—Particle Style: Detachment Technique.

Uchiha Kakuzan closed his eyes, silently experiencing and digesting the ninjutsu he had just learned. Then, he formed hand seals and used the Third Tsuchikage's signature ninjutsu.

Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique

After using this ninjutsu, Uchiha Kakuzan felt his weight lighten, and then, with his will, he slowly flew up.

Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to have found a fun toy, and stopped paying attention to the battle on the ground, instead flying higher and higher.

Uchiha Kagami flew higher and higher, constantly changing direction, and in a short time, he mastered the skill of flying in the sky.

Uchiha Kakuzan was having more and more fun and flew higher and higher. When the entire Iwagakure village was only the size of a fist in his field of vision, some images and memories suddenly appeared in Uchiha Kakuzan's mind, pulling his interest away from flying.

It turned out that at this moment, the Third Tsuchikage eliminated another intruder. With the clone destroyed, the clone's memories naturally returned to Uchiha Kakuyama's mind.

Uchiha Kakuzan paused, looking down at Iwagakure below.

As expected of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Iwagakure has sent a large number of ninjas in a short period of time. Two of the five invaders have been eliminated, and the remaining three are completely surrounded. Although they cannot be arrested or eliminated for the time being, these invaders can no longer cause significant damage to Iwagakure.

Chapter 160 The Tsuchikage's Legacy

Chapter 160 The Tsuchikage's Legacy

Looking down at Iwagakure, then at the camouflage invisibility jutsu still clinging to his body, Uchiha Kagami frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then flew towards the most conspicuous building in Iwagakure—the Tsuchikage Building.

In fact, Uchiha Kakuzan had already perfectly achieved his goal this time. Without revealing his identity, he had learned all of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's signature skills.

However, since he had nothing better to do, and there was still time, and the Third Tsuchikage and many ninjas from Iwagakure had been drawn to the east side of Iwagakure, it would be a great pity if he didn't take this opportunity to visit the Tsuchikage's building and see what good things were inside.

The weather was fine today; there was no moon and very few stars. So, Uchiha Kakuyama, who was flying in the sky near the Tsuchikage Building, was not detected. Moreover, he was using a camouflage invisibility technique, which further minimized the possibility of detection.

When Uchiha Kakuzan flew over the Tsuchikage Building, he couldn't help but laugh, because a familiar scene appeared before him again. In Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan, a red and transparent barrier completely enveloped the Tsuchikage Building, blocking anyone who wanted to enter.

Uchiha Kakuyama used his old trick again, easily entering the Tsuchikage Building. Then, without touching the ground, he traversed the entire building and quickly found the Tsuchikage's office.

Uchiha Kakuzan had just reached out his hand when he suddenly paused. Memories flooded his mind: another clone had been killed.

Uchiha Kakuyama didn't waste any time and immediately opened the Tsuchikage's office, starting his treasure hunt.

Throughout the journey, Uchiha Okayama kept his Mangekyou Sharingan active. After all, wherever there were traps or seals, there would be traces of chakra, and with his Sharingan activated, Uchiha Okayama could easily spot them.

Now, floating in mid-air, Uchiha Kakuzan frowned as he carefully surveyed the entire Tsuchikage's office, because so far, he had not found any trace of chakra in the office.

In other words, apart from some unimportant office documents on the desk, there is nothing of value in this room.

In Uchiha Kakuzan's mind, this was simply impossible. You see, the Tsuchikage Building was the most heavily guarded place in Iwagakure. Not only were there Iwagakure ninjas on duty outside, but it was also tightly wrapped by a barrier. It was only because Uchiha Kakuzan flew over from the roof that he could have gotten in. If he had tried to sneak in from the ground, it would have taken a lot of effort.

So, all that effort you put in to protect is just an empty building?

Undeterred, Uchiha Kakuyama flew around the Tsuchikage's office again. If he still couldn't find a secret room, he would try his luck in other rooms.

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan flew over the wall behind the Tsuchikage's desk, he suddenly stopped, and then flew back.

Uchiha Kakuyama examined the wall carefully again and confirmed that the secret room must be behind this wall.

Although the entire wall was perfectly sealed and there were no fluctuations or traces of chakra, there were some subtle color differences on the wall. These differences were so subtle that even in daylight, an ordinary person might not be able to spot them if they were lying on the wall.

It was only because Uchiha Kakuyama had awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that he was able to notice this subtle difference; otherwise, he would have truly missed it.

Uchiha Kakuyama pressed his hand against the wall, but there was no response. Then, Uchiha Kakuyama carefully inspected the area around the desk to make sure that he did not find any traps or mechanisms.

Uchiha Kakuzan sighed, then activated the Light-Heavy Rock Technique, stood firmly in front of the wall, placed his hand on the wall with its color difference, and pushed hard.

As he expected, the wall slowly moved open under his force, revealing the secret room hidden behind it.

Just then, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly sensed a very slight chakra fluctuation. It was only because Uchiha Kakuzan possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan that he was able to perceive such a subtle fluctuation. Although this chakra fluctuation was slight, it traveled a long distance, causing Uchiha Kakuzan, who sensed it, to realize that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Kakuzan exerted even more force, finally revealing the entire secret chamber behind the wall. Of course, he also saw a thin, broken thread, as thin as a spider's web, in a corner behind the wall. This thread was connected to a seal the size of a coin, and the fluctuations from earlier must have come from it.

This discovery made Uchiha Kakuzan's lips twitch. He never expected that despite being so careful, he would still fall into the trap set by the Third Tsuchikage.

At that moment, the Third Tsuchikage, who was watching the invaders being besieged, suddenly felt a peculiar fluctuation. Although the fluctuation was very slight, it was more shocking to the Third Tsuchikage than a powerful fire attack.

The Third Tsuchikage jolted awake, turning sharply towards the Tsuchikage Building with a look of horror and panic in his eyes. Although the building remained silent in the darkness, the earlier fluctuations clearly told the Third Tsuchikage that an enemy had silently infiltrated it and even reached his most hidden chamber.

Immediately afterward, the Third Tsuchikage flew towards the Tsuchikage Building at full speed. Before leaving, he shouted, "Kill the intruders with all your might! Don't hold back anymore! After you've killed them, all Jonin, rush to the Tsuchikage Building to provide support. There are intruders there."

Originally, after killing the three invaders, the Third Tsuchikage wanted to capture the remaining two invaders who were surrounded by Iwagakure ninjas. That's why he was there to keep watch and prevent the two from making a desperate move or escaping.

Now, the Third Tsuchikage couldn't care less about these things. He hadn't expected that besides these five skilled fighters, there would be an intruder, and that this intruder could enter the Tsuchikage Building silently. Therefore, the safest course of action now was to eliminate the two intruders directly, while he went to the Tsuchikage Building to intercept the other intruder.

However, although the Third Tsuchikage was anxious, he was only worried that the contents inside would be destroyed. Those were the things passed down from the Tsuchikage, not that they would be taken away. After all, he was confident in the seal he left behind. Apart from him, unless the Sage of Six Paths was resurrected, it would be difficult for anyone else in this world to open the seal and get the contents in a short time.

Chapter 161 He picked up his things and ran

Chapter 161 He picked up his things and ran

Just as he sensed the fluctuations and rushed towards the Tsuchikage Building, Uchiha Kakuzan was standing in the secret room of the Hokage's office, stroking his chin and staring at the seal on the wall, pondering it.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that since the shockwave had already spread, the Third Tsuchikage would arrive within a minute at most. He needed to break the seal, retrieve the contents, and escape before the Tsuchikage arrived.

Although Uchiha Kakuzan was not afraid of the Third Tsuchikage and could even crush him to dust, this was Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage's stronghold. Uchiha Kakuzan had no intention of facing the potentially crazed Third Tsuchikage in his own stronghold.

Originally, Uchiha Kakuzan could have simply used brute force to tear down the entire wall, store it in his spatial dimension, and then slowly work out the puzzle later.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan was curious whether breaking the seal and taking the contents in such a short time would make the Third Tsuchikage question his existence. That's why Uchiha Kakuzan was standing here studying the seal on the wall.

The seal on the wall was not complicated for Uchiha Kakuzan; it was simply a variation of the Bagua seal mixed with the Five Elements seal.

However, the core of this seal is the special type of chakra left behind by the person who cast the seal. If the chakra's attribute is incorrect, the self-destruct mechanism left in the seal will be activated.

Given Uchiha Kakuzan's sealing skills, he wouldn't be able to break the seal in a short time, but he could prevent the self-destruct mechanism inside from activating.

Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan had already guessed what the special chakra left behind by the Third Tsuchikage was.

It wouldn't be the chakra of the Four-Tails or the Five-Tails, nor would it be ordinary fire, earth, water, wind, or lightning chakra.

With the pride of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, all that remains is the Dust Release Chakra, a bloodline limit unique to the Tsuchikage, formed by the fusion of earth, fire, and wind chakra.

Twenty seconds had passed when Uchiha Kagami had a thought and activated the Kagura Mind's Eye of the Uzumaki clan. He immediately sensed the dense chakra of the Iwagakure ninjas, and one of them, a chakra with a white light, was moving rapidly toward him. It seemed to be the Third Tsuchikage.

Uchiha Kakuzan estimated that the Third Tsuchikage would arrive faster than expected, in about thirty seconds.

Uchiha Kakuyama closed his eyes briefly and began to seriously mobilize the Dust Release chakra he had just acquired. Although he was a little rusty, with Uchiha Kakuyama's immense mental strength, he was able to smoothly mobilize the chakra to his index finger, which emitted a white light.

Uchiha Kakuzan raised his hand and gently pressed his index finger on the core of the seal, ready to prevent the self-destruction program from starting at any time.

When Uchiha Kakuzan applied his Dust Release chakra to the seal on the wall, it was like throwing a small pebble into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Immediately afterward, under Uchiha Kakuzan's watchful gaze, the seal on the wall slowly lit up, and the contents inside slowly emerged. It was an old, earthen-yellow scroll, quite large, about the same size as the one Jiraiya usually carried, about a meter long and forty centimeters in diameter.

Upon seeing the scroll, Uchiha Kakuzan revealed an expression of "I knew it," then took the scroll in his hand and casually wiped away the seal on the wall.

Twenty seconds had passed, and the Third Tsuchikage had ten seconds left to arrive on the battlefield.

Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at the empty secret room again, then activated his Dojutsu Takamagahara and returned to the space.

Just five seconds after Uchiha Kakuyama left, the Third Tsuchikage rushed in through the window of the Tsuchikage Building and straight into the open secret room. His hands were constantly stretching and clenching, and he used Dust Release to kill the enemy as soon as he saw him.

Just as the Third Tsuchikage rushed into the secret chamber, his hand was already glowing white, indicating that he would send away any suspicious figure he saw.

However, when the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, entered the secret room, he froze, because he saw nothing. The entire secret room was empty; there was not a single person in sight, and even the walls were bare. The familiar patterns that the Third Tsuchikage used to see were gone.

The Third Tsuchikage stared blankly at the smooth, white wall, completely stunned. He never imagined that in just a few dozen seconds, the intruder would not only break the seal he thought was unsolvable and take the contents inside, but also erase the remaining seal on the wall.

This is a blatant provocation, a challenge to his dignity as the Third Tsuchikage, and a challenge to the bottom line of Iwagakure.

In that instant, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, turned red in the eyes, and the white light he was holding grew larger and larger. Then, the Third Tsuchikage roared and activated the Dust Release technique to its maximum, shooting it towards the pristine wall in front of him. In his eyes, this intact wall was the greatest insult the enemy could inflict upon him.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan had already emerged from the spatial dimension and returned to the summit of the rocky mountain. As for the scroll, he casually tossed it into the spatial villa.

When Uchiha Kagami returned to the summit, he saw a beam of white laser, about a meter thick, shoot out of the Tsuchikage Building and into the sky.

Uchiha Kakuzan watched the laser beam depart, knowing that the Third Tsuchikage must be furious. He chuckled and turned his gaze to the battlefield of his clones below.

Just then, the last, burly figure wielding the 'Lightning Release Armor' also collapsed. Surrounded by the Iwagakure ninja, his speed advantage was gone, and he could only rely on the Lightning Release Armor's defense to withstand their ninjutsu.

They could have held on for a while longer, but the Third Tsuchikage gave them a death order before leaving, instructing them to finish the job as soon as possible. So the Iwagakure ninjas dared not disobey the order and used their ninjutsu at full power, and thus, the Lightning Release Armor Clone fell down.

After the remaining two invaders were overwhelmed by various ninjutsu, a large number of Iwagakure ninjas rushed towards the Tsuchikage Building as if their backsides were on fire, leaving only a few to clean up the battlefield.

The ninjas of Iwagakure also knew what was important and what was urgent. Even their Third Tsuchikage's signature ninjutsu—Dust Release—was activated at its maximum. Of course, they had to get there as quickly as possible to help the Tsuchikage defeat the enemy.

Looking down at the battlefield below, Uchiha Kakuzan saw the shattered bodies of his clones. Because they were wooden clones he had specially made, they had not yet revealed their true forms.

Uchiha Kakuzan revealed a smile that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold. He casually made a hand seal, and an unexpected change occurred on the battlefield below.

Chapter 162 Tsunade's Awkward Moment

Chapter 162 The Awkward Tsunade

Uchiha Kakuzan casually cast a camouflage invisibility jutsu on himself, then looked down at the ninjas of Kumogakure below.

Most of the ninjas had already gone to the Tsuchikage's building, while those who remained were cleaning up the battlefield, putting out fires, rescuing civilians, and collecting the remains of their comrades and the invaders. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Uchiha Kakuzan looked down, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and casually formed a hand seal.

Just as Uchiha Kagama finished forming the hand seals, the remains of the invaders below were quickly turned into charred remains that flickered with flames, as if they had been thrown into an incinerator, and then into black ash that scattered in all directions.

Uchiha Kakuzan ignored the stunned and bewildered ninjas of Kumogakure below and instead turned his gaze to the Tsuchikage Building.

There's absolutely no movement around the Tsuchikage Building now. I wonder if that old Tsuchikage is so angry he'll vomit blood.

However, since the mission has been completed perfectly and there were even unexpected gains, Uchiha Kakuzan has no intention of causing any further trouble.

He took another deep look at the Tsuchikage Building, then scanned the entire Hidden Cloud Village before turning and entering the space.

After entering the space, Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at the Tsuchikage scroll on the table but didn't dare to open it casually.

After all, these veteran Kage are all cunning and shrewd individuals. The Tsuchikage hid this scroll so well that it's hard to tell if there are any traps inside. Perhaps it's best to have Tsunade take a look.

Having just completed such an exciting activity, Uchiha Kakuzan wouldn't be able to sleep for a while. Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan believed that most of the people in Kumogakure would also be unable to sleep tonight.

Uchiha Kakuyama thought for a moment, then slightly stimulated the spatial mark belonging to Tsunade. If she was sleeping soundly, she wouldn't have felt the slight flicker of the spatial mark.
