He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

"Young Master, you go first, we'll cover your retreat!"

With a death wish, the two Hyuga ninjas and Yagyu Aoki stopped in their tracks and turned to fight!

"Oh? Instead of surrendering, you're launching a counterattack? Hehe, then let's chop you all to pieces!"

The Hozuki clan member wielding the ninja sword immediately revealed a bloodthirsty expression upon seeing this scene, but his actions were not as swift as those of the Kaguya clan member standing nearby.

"Hahaha! Let me crush them! Don't try to take them from me!"

Hozuki Mizuki curled her lip, inwardly mocking him.

Kaguya's war maniacs are so useful; they're easy to fool and take the bait.

puff!

The sound of flesh being cut open was like heavenly music to his ears.

Yes, that's it. Tear them apart, unleash your Kaguya clan instincts, wipe out all these enemies, and then I'll take Byakugan back with me.

Hozuki Misaki was thrilled. The next second, he saw a streak of bright green rushing from the direction the Hyuga clan member had fled. In a daze, he seemed to see a giant whale swimming in the depths of the ocean, occasionally splashing the surface of the water.

歘.

His fighting instincts compelled him to use the Hozuki clan's signature technique, the Water Transformation Technique.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

puff.

The Kaguya clan's corpse fell straight down, and from the throat upwards until it cut open the skull, a thin, long, bloody line appeared straight before their eyes.

If it weren't for the water transformation technique, I would be lying on the ground with him right now.

"The reaction was quick; no wonder you came from the Hidden Mist Village."

A soft laugh suddenly came from the woods ahead. Hozuki Mizushin looked up sharply and saw Hyuga Hiashi, who had just been chased and was in a sorry state, charging back ahead.

Behind him was another group of ninjas wearing Konoha headbands—no, there was one child who wasn't wearing one.

But his outstretched palms had a bright green 'band of light'.

Minato Namikaze's lips twitched as he looked at the emerald green in Isogen's hand and hesitated, "What is this?"

"Chakra scalpel, with a bit of Wind Release chakra added for increased speed."

Oh, it's a chakra scalpel. I thought it was a chakra cleaver.

……

Whose chakra scalpel is hundreds of meters long?!

"If you don't like the name, you can call it 'Shoot Him, Sharpshooter'."

Isogen slowly scanned the scene, a smirk playing on his lips: "Including the one who fell, there were thirteen people in total. Three were Jonin-level chakra users, the rest were Chunin. The one who fell was one of the three."

Konoha's White Fang began his operation, with the Uchiha members flashing by, followed closely by Minato Namikaze.

Isogen, on the other hand, was looking at the Kaguya clan member lying on the ground.

Kaguya, a Jonin-level member of the Kaguya clan, would be a formidable force even in Kirigakure, but unfortunately, he died unexpectedly.

A ninja's body is very fragile; without careful protection, a single kunai can kill him. Theoretically, even a three-year-old child could kill a Jonin.

Interestingly, based on the information transmitted by 'Wind Passes Without a Trace', this guy actually discovered them, but he didn't expect that someone could activate the chakra scalpel to such a level.

It pierced his throat from a distance of over a hundred meters away; even the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't have been able to react in time.

At the same time, muffled groans and faint screams began to appear from all around.

Hozuki Misaki's hand holding the ninja sword trembled.

Konoha White Fang!

How could we possibly run into Konoha's White Fang in a place like this!

Although the Kiri Village did not directly participate in the Second Shinobi World War, it never missed an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. While the fighting was raging, small teams of ninjas would carry the necessary items back home like ants carrying house.

It was then that he witnessed the strength of Konoha's White Fang, a nightmare he could never overcome. In front of him, his hand holding the sword trembled.

The arrival of fresh troops brought the battle to a swift end.

"You seem to be of high status? You must know quite a bit." Isogen muttered to himself, taking a step towards Hozuki Mishin.

He walked as if he were just strolling along the street as usual.

Hozuki Mizushin bit his tongue hard, his eyes wide with anger: "Don't underestimate me, you mere brat from Konoha!"

"The art of water-powered iron cannons!"

High-pressure water bombs, carrying an all-piercing force, formed a dense barrage and attacked Fifty Strings of Song.

The fifty strings played at a steady pace, and the wind reported all these movements to him.

Under Hozuki Suishin's piercing gaze, the high-pressure water bullet pierced straight through Fifty Strings' chakra-transformed body, penetrating the trees and rocks behind him.

Glancing sideways, Isogen raised an eyebrow slightly: "Not bad."

"By the way, I don't know Lightning Release yet."

Hozuki Mizushin's blank gaze suddenly brightened.

next second.

Sizzle sizzle!

"Phew." Igogen blew on the light stick and slowly looked down at Hozuki Mishin, who had fallen asleep on the ground.

"The power of technology."

The Ninja World is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. Even in the remote and impoverished Land of Snow, they have developed a remarkable technological tree, complete with refrigerators and color TVs.

You can't make a Dyson ball, but you can spend a lot of money to buy a cheering stick.

He originally intended to 'reward' the energetic students at the ninja academy. After all, ninja academy students are tough and resilient, and those families would have to thank him after he messed with them.

【Your benevolent wisdom, O Sun, has enabled the ignorant to deeply understand the meaning of the will of a hegemon!】

Looking at Hozuki Mizushin lying motionless on the ground, Isogen felt quite distressed.

Sigh, having too much Yin or Yang attribute isn't a good thing either.

In terms of combat experience, he was definitely inferior to these ninjas who had tasted blood on the edge of a knife, especially the ninjas of Kirigakure, who were inherently bloodthirsty and fanatical. The Bloody Village didn't just start with Yagura Karatachi; there were signs of it before, but it was intensified and catalyzed by the mysterious masked man.

His current situation is that both his software and hardware are top-tier, but his player awareness hasn't fully caught up yet, which puts him at a disadvantage against players of the same level.

But then again...

In the cultivation world, it is a tradition for the strong to bully the weak and the powerful to oppress the vulnerable; this is an unchanging truth throughout the ages.

A challenge beyond one's level?

I prefer the strong bullying the weak.

Chapter 37 Explosive Tag Specialist

Wu Xian's favorite game is a crushing victory.

The other Kirigakure ninja, led by Konoha's White Fang, surrendered their heads and returned to the underworld.

Theoretically, three elite Jonin can fight a Kage and kill the Kage of a village.

But the Kage who could be killed like that were the floor tiles of the Kage. The abilities of the Kage of the five great villages were not a big secret in the eyes of well-informed people, yet they were still able to remain unscathed and remain the Kage of their respective villages. Each of them was an outstanding member of the Kage.

Sakumo Hatake was in his prime, possessing extremely formidable combat power. He managed to kill the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure, and escape unscathed, earning him a great reputation. His strength was far beyond what the young Sannin could match in the Kage.

Isogen gripped Hozuki Suigetsu's shoulders, whose entire body was numb from the electric shock, and stamped a simple body-binding sealing technique. He then extended a sharp chakra scalpel from his right palm and began to finely slice Hozuki Suigetsu into minced meat.

"what!"

A chilling cry, like the howl of a nightingale, echoed through the forest. The sheer volume and piercing sound filled the air, turning the surrounding atmosphere into a stench of blood.

Isogen is neither a butcher nor a killer; he's more like a scientist who meticulously observes a precision instrument and makes modifications from time to time.

Thin slices of meat, as thin as cicada wings, were piled up, with efficiency and cutting skills far exceeding the standards of Akimichi Ichizoku BBQ Restaurant.

When his shouts subsided slightly, Uchiha Genjima stepped forward, his face fierce, and shouted sharply.

"Will you tell me or not!"

Hozuki Mizushin's eyes bulged, his breath was weak, and he seemed on the verge of tears: "Go ahead and ask!"

Uchiha Takeshima's imposing aura faltered, and he subconsciously asked, "Didn't we ask?"

Hozuki Mishin didn't even have the strength to roll her eyes.

Uchiha Genjima wasn't embarrassed at all, since it wasn't him who was in pain. He looked at Igarashi Yoka, who was slowly wiping the bloodstains from his arm with a white towel, and then at the calm and collected Hatake Sakumo.

Finally, we return to Hozuki Mizushin's tendons, which are still throbbing vigorously even after being cut open.

That was the effect of Fifty Strings of Songs simultaneously activating the Palm Immortal Technique while cutting.

"How did you, the Mist Village, come from the Land of Grass?"

Next to the Land of Grass are the Land of Rain and the Land of Taki, and beyond that is the Land of Earth. The Land of Water, where the Mist Village is located, is opposite the Land of Earth. In between are several countries, including Konoha. Clearly, coming all this way to this place is not for a picnic or spring outing.

It's not that Uchiha Itsukushima looked down on Kirigakure. Not counting Konoha's numerous battles against overwhelming odds, Kirigakure was nowhere to be seen during Konoha's fierce battles against numerous powerful forces in the Second Shinobi World War. At most, the Kirigakure members were out on normal missions, and the rest were taking advantage of the chaos of the war to fish in troubled waters.

The arrogant Uchiha clan scoffed at these guys who secretly caused trouble by taking advantage of their geographical position.

At least the Hidden Cloud Village's antics are done openly and honestly. Their dark skin, characteristic of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, leaves almost no room for concealment in the eyes of ninjas skilled in intelligence work.

"We have intelligence indicating that important information from Iwagakure Village has been taken away by spies, and the Mizukage has dispatched us to intercept it."

Three Jonin and several Chunin, what a luxurious lineup!

The current ninja world is one year after the end of the Second Shinobi World War. During this year, the atmosphere in each village has eased slightly, but they are still on guard. Unless there are special circumstances, if they encounter enemy ninjas outside, they will almost always kill them if they can find an opportunity.

The fact that Wuyin Village deployed such a lineup, under the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the village's mission system and the perfection of security work, is for information that has not yet been confirmed.

It has a touch of humor.

"...There weren't this many originally, but later we discovered traces of Byakugan and confirmed it was the main family, so the others gradually arrived to join us."

It was all because of the eye roll.

The Byakugan's war-related attributes are too strong. For other ninja villages, they can do without other bloodline limits, but they must have the Byakugan if possible.

This is the experience of countless people who suffered from being looked down upon during wartime.

"Who provided you with the intelligence?"

"I don't know, but I heard he was a rogue ninja from Konoha."

The term "rogue ninja" touches the DNA of ninjas who originated from Konoha.

Rogue ninjas are not uncommon; in fact, their numbers are so large that they are related to the establishment of the gold exchange. The rogue ninjas who come from the great ninja villages are all talented and eloquent.

Apart from Kumogakure, the other four villages supplied roughly the same number of rogue ninja to the ninja world in an orderly and almost equal manner.

The group looked at each other.

Suppose that the rogue ninja's goal was to create local unrest by using the spy carrying important information about Iwagakure to escape, then why would Hozuki Mishin and the other Kirigakure members appear here?

"The mission is important, but it's not as important as the white eyes," Hozuki Mizuki thought righteously.

The success rate of that mission is still uncertain, and it might even lead to a confrontation between the Misty Village and the Rock Village.

Even though the two countries' territories are not adjacent and the Misty Hidden Village is too dangerous to directly attack Misty Hidden Village, isn't a White Eye that can bring huge war potential more appealing than these uncontrollable risks?

After Hozuki Mizushin bluntly revealed the information she knew, she remained as quiet as a tree, idly sitting there.

Uchiha Genjiro's Sharingan with three tomoe was activated.

He wasn't lying.

This is one of the reasons why Hozuki Suishin didn't try to lie—to get rid of the master who used chakra scalpels to cut flesh... she couldn't get rid of him.

The Sharingan excels in intelligence gathering and hypnosis, and the abilities of the three-tomoe Sharingan are widely recognized throughout the ninja world.

If he were in good condition, he would be confident that he could resist the hypnosis of the Sharingan, but what can he do when he's not in good condition right now?
