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

Chapter 47 The Old and the Young with Feelings

Xingsou Xingyu R led Lao Zi into the Land of Fire.

Old Purple, enraged, has temporarily lost a crucial element of being a ninja.

Necessary vigilance.

When a ninja loses the necessary vigilance, defeat is not far off.

Hatake Sakumo seized the opportunity when Roshi's Lava Release armor was blown open, teleported to the center of the battlefield, and aimed his White Fang short blade at Roshi's left arm as he was forming hand seals.

Alarm bells rang in Lao Zi's mind, and he quickly adjusted his movements to dodge. White Fang was a short blade, and he could avoid injury by dodging it slightly. However, the next second, Hatake Sakumo's chakra on White Fang rapidly expanded, and the chakra-formed blade forcibly increased the length of White Fang!

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Old Purple's hand trembled, causing his internal chakra to become disordered.

Having landed a successful blow, Hatake Sakumo retreated rapidly.

Isogen agrees with Sakumo Hatake's movements.

The so-called ninja is actually an assassin. A qualified assassin should have the ability to escape thousands of miles away after a single strike, regardless of success or failure.

This isn't the era of cuckoldry next door, where the strong are all tanky and sit-up champions; ninjas are quite fragile.

Not every ninja can increase their health with Yang attribute like him. The improved Palm Healing Technique continuously restores health, and the 'Triple Rebirth' repairs the body, directly turning the body into a stun gun.

Fifty Strings has a small ambition: to upgrade the firecracker into a nuclear bomb once the yin-yang attributes are further developed.

Hatake Sakumo landed a successful blow, and Fifty Strings immediately closed in.

With one hand missing, Lao Zi's combat power plummeted.

The importance of hands to a ninja cannot be overstated. Hand seals, whether performed with one hand, feet, or even eyelids, are not something ordinary people can do. Although Roshi is very strong, he is still young, and hand seals are not a skill that an 'ordinary ninja' of his age can master.

If he were to perfectly align with the Four-Tails in a later life, he would still possess unparalleled power, but he is still very young now.

His molten escape is weakening.

Lao Zi was already considering retiring.

Things took a turn for the better than he had anticipated.

The kid in front of him was far stronger than he had imagined, and his methods were strange. There were also powerful enemies watching him closely. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave at all.

If the other party can capture him alive, they absolutely will, given his status as a Jinchūriki.

Although killing him would deprive Iwagakure of one of its tailed beasts, Iwagakure still has one left. Moreover, tailed beasts can be resurrected after death. Now that Uzumaki Village has been destroyed, each clan has obtained a portion of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, making it much easier to seal the tailed beast creators and their jinchūriki.

With the war soon over and all the villages in dire need of rebuilding, Konoha will surely use him to extract benefits from Iwagakure.

The ninja will definitely have a share of the most important tasks.

Although he has a bad relationship with Onoki, Iwagakure is where he grew up, and he has ties to the village. Iwagakure is not as wealthy as Konoha to begin with, and if he causes everyone to have a hard time, it would be a great loss.

With a sharp look in his eyes, just as Old Purple was about to forcibly extract the tailed beast's chakra to break through the seal, Isogen suddenly stretched out his arms and swung them forward, sending a cloud of powder flying towards him. The wind made it even harder for him to react.

I took a big breath without warning.

"Poison?! Despicable!"

Fifty Strings looked at him strangely: "Old man, are you getting dementia?"

who are they?

Ninja, eh?

If ninjas don't use poison, are they supposed to just go head-to-head with samurai?

Although most ninjas could easily defeat samurai, you can't forget the ninja's original profession!

"No wonder the people in your village ostracize you. With a brain like yours, I'll ostracize you too."

Old Purple's face darkened, but by then it was too late to break free of the restraints. The area covered by the dust-raising technique used by Fifty Strings was so vast that even he himself was caught off guard.

The powder he used was a sedative-hypnotic drug that he had carefully modified to suit his current physical condition.

It causes muscle relaxation and weakness by inhibiting the central nervous system.

This was a specially formulated extra dose, and the effect was so good that even Hiruzen Sarutobi praised it.

Yeah, the first person to try this thing was Naruto.

Cricket Naruto, tremble under the radiance of the Will of Conqueror!

Old Purple's eyes widened, and he bit his tongue hard, trying to forcefully extract his strength to take away the remaining song of the fifty strings. Even he, as a Jinchūriki, didn't have the strength, and this brat had just absorbed it, so he was sure he would.

Boom!

The fifty strings exploded.

The glint in Lao Zi's eyes faded.

So that's how you get through it—by detonating yourself to refresh your status and remove the effects of the medicine!

He was truly powerless.

Regardless of psychological or external factors.

They were defeated by this crazy brat who had been bred in the ninja world for who knows how long.

Just admit it, damn it.

Fifty strings used the wind to send over several explosive tags.

Old Zi's muscles are weak, so he can only move his eyeballs.

That one glance made his eyes widen as if he had caught Onoki and the wild woman having sex.

Adding a sealing spell to an explosive tag—you really are a genius!

Powerful sealing techniques are no less powerful than the Sharingan against tailed beasts. In particular, the Fifty Strings Sealing Technique comes from the orthodox Uzumaki school and is enhanced by strong Yin attributes, making it extremely valuable.

Sakumo Hatake and the others kept an eye on things from all sides, occasionally harassing the enemy, always ready to join the battle head-on. Then they saw the bizarre scene of Isogen standing while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki lay down.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes flickered, and his expression was very serious. To the others, it seemed that he was thinking about the next steps.

however……

'Kids these days are really something else. I wonder how far Kakashi will go in the future. I don't expect him to be as strong as Isogen, but at least... hmm, I've decided, I'll add a few more courses to Kakashi's curriculum.'

and.

'Has this Jinchuriki really been captured? Should we test him with the Thousand Years of Death technique?'

At that time, Kakashi, who was one year old, was lying in a warm baby bed when a sudden chill came over him, forcing him to open his clear eyes and stare at the familiar ceiling for a long time without saying a word.

Old Zi tightened his buttocks.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

At this moment, the Root ninjas, including the Jonin, were communicating with each other.

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki has failed and has been captured."

"The plan has gone beyond expectations, what should we do now?"

"Reporting to you, sir, awaiting instructions."

"The strength of Yu Ge of the Fifty Strings exceeds our judgment. Shall we proceed with the plan?"

"...The task is beyond the team's capabilities. We suggest returning to the village and awaiting further instructions."

"agree."

"agree."

Seeing the Root ninja Igarashi orderly withdrawing from his senses, Igarashi was not surprised at all.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the Root organization. People generally believe that even if a mission is impossible to complete, Root ninjas will do everything in their power to complete it.

However, this is incorrect.

Those who can enter the Root are all elite ninjas, and each one used is one less available. In particular, this team is very strong, and each of them knows a secret technique. If they are lost in a mission that offers no benefit, Danzo will be furious.

The anger of the Hidden Leaf Village's ninja clans, large and small, was so great that even Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to be angered.

The era of great upheaval.

Isogen looked at the departing Root ninjas with a strange expression.

"Honestly, since you've come all this way, how could we not let you take something back with you?"

Chapter 48 If he's got the guts, let him fight!

Konoha, Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, conducted a thorough inspection of the safety and fire prevention measures at the Konoha Village Onsen Ryokan.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and expressed his feelings.

"What a thorough and satisfying examination."

"Lord Hokage, there are two secret letters." The Anbu placed two letters on the table.

Alas, happy times are always fleeting and beautiful.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the first secret letter and read it carefully. After a moment, he was furious.

Snapped!

"Ohnoki!"

The letter, when pieced together, was basically a question from Onoki asking whether Konoha was going to war with Iwagakure, and so on.

Has bald old man Onoki gone mad, just a year after the war ended?

Or is it that the Hidden Rock Village has so much money they don't know what to do with it?

After his anger subsided, a deep sense of worry welled up in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

Rock Hidden Village is no pushover.

In particular, the Hidden Village of Iwagakure, under the rule of that bald old man Onoki, could be said to have used ordinary ninjas as expendable resources.

If Isogen knew what he was thinking, I would definitely give him a thumbs up.

Old Deng, how far into the future can your crystal ball actually see?

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Raikage fought alone against 10,000 Iwagakure ninja for three days and three nights to cover the retreat of his comrades, and died from exhaustion.

Those ten thousand ninjas were a trap set by Onoki specifically for the Third Raikage.

Although not all of them were killed, the Third Raikage's unreasonable and overwhelming strength resulted in heavy casualties. At that time, it was still a time of war, and Onoki's actions were completely reckless, prioritizing victory over life.

Yeah, I don't care about other people's lives.

He sighed, opened the second secret letter, and looked distressed.

"Onoki, has he really gone mad? If war really breaks out, no, at most it will be a small-scale local conflict, but it will still be disadvantageous to Konoha. Iwagakure is not weak..."

With a look of confusion and seriousness, he quickly scanned the second secret letter, and two seconds later...

Snapped!

"Fight! If you're so capable, Onoki, then fight your way to the Land of Fire, fight your way to Konoha!"

The guards outside the door were startled by the commotion coming from inside. They instinctively turned their heads and met each other's eyes, filled with doubt.

Is Konoha and Iwagakure about to go to war again?

The Thousand Hands Old House.

Mito Uzumaki's face at this moment was a mixture of surprise, shock, and emotion.

"Young people these days are amazing," she said casually with a smile.

"What did the Hokage say?"

The ANBU member lowered his head and replied, "The Hokage seems very pleased and has threatened to send Iwagakure to attack."
