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

It targets chakra.

Even the bloodline limit of that clan in the ninja world that can transform into a whirlwind is essentially a transformation of chakra, and the barrier can also be used for defense.

But the wind of fifty strings is different.

It's not that no one has tried to imbue the wind with chakra, but the concept of wind is too abstract. In essence, wind does not exist. This is just a human description of this natural phenomenon. There are many natural phenomena similar to wind.

Without even finding the original body of the attached object, how can we defend against it? Even if someone could attach chakra to the wind, the consumption would be terrifying, and very few ninjas in such a large ninja community could afford to supply it.

Secondly, since wind is everywhere, can a barrier block chakra and also completely prevent wind from entering?

Do ninjas not need to breathe?

Even though everyone's fighting, we still need to give each other some space.

It's not impossible to defend against it, as ninjas have strong breath-holding abilities and can hold out for a long time after creating a barrier that isolates them from everything outside. However, the consequences of doing so are...

In Isogen's reconnaissance ninjutsu, where the exact range is unknown, there is a high probability of a gap appearing.

The question is: if you have sufficient exploration capabilities, and a region suddenly appears in your territory that you cannot detect, do you choose to conduct a large-scale investigation or a large-scale investigation?

Several root bases distributed around Konoha were thus uprooted.

Danzo's expression turned sour when he recalled how he had promptly had someone set up a barrier that could block out the wind.

Rounding down, it turns out that the one who killed his own people was actually himself, the leader!

The unpleasant expression vanished in an instant, and he continued, "How are the funds on the noble side?"

"Several nobles have indicated that they are experiencing financial difficulties recently for unknown reasons."

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hmph, that sounds nice, all this talk about unknown reasons.

A feeling of anger rose within me.

I asked you for money and you wouldn't give it to me, but that inherently evil fifty-stringed brat could ask you for plenty.

Do you not take me seriously?

It seems that I, the dark one of the ninja world, have been dormant for too long, to the point that these forgetful nobles have forgotten my power of intimidation.

"Ignore them, all I care about is the money!"

The Root ninja bowed his head in agreement.

At this moment, the nobles of the Land of Fire, who were complaining bitterly, all felt a chill run down their spines.

Chapter 93 It's not easy to be mentally ill these days

The Uzumaki clan's entry into Konoha only caused a small-scale stir.

After all, Mito Uzumaki is still around, and it wouldn't be good if the noise disturbed the elderly.

Secondly, people are brought back by the songs of the fifty strings.

“A pregnant Whirlpool Clan member.”

In the Nara clan territory, where the scent of herbs lingered, Nara's gaze fell on a broken corner of the shogi board, and he pressed down a shogi piece in his hand.

"Lu Jiu, bring some calming and nourishing medicine to visit him tomorrow."

Nara Shikaku rolled his dead fish eyes, looking like he was in a real mess.

Before he could utter a word of refusal, his father's authority had already been exercised.

"I am your father."

Nara Shikaku pursed his lips.

If your grandfather hadn't given birth to you before you gave birth to me, it's hard to say who's older or younger.

Moreover, given the immense vitality of the Whirlpool Clan, surely the medicinal herbs for calming the mind and nourishing the fetus are not even as effective as the blood and qi that their bodies normally produce.

Ultimately, healthy people don't need these medicinal herbs, but it's one thing for them not to want them, and it's another thing for you not to give them to them.

Especially since this person was brought back by Yu Ge of the Fifty Strings.

The conversation turned to the song "The Song of the Fifty Strings," and Nara Shikaku's expression was a mixture of helplessness, despair, resignation, and a sense of identification.

"He really caused quite a stir in the Land of Grass," Nara Yokkaku couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Without exception, all members of the Kusakabe Village's Kusakabe Village's Kusakabe Village's Kusakabe Village have died. The Kusakabe Village's Kusakabe Village is not in much trouble, but some of its members have also died, mostly young people."

"stop."

Before he could finish speaking, Nara Shikaku interrupted him with a look of disgust.

"I feel like I can no longer look at the concept of a scarecrow the same way, so please be kind with your words."

Nara Shikaku chuckled, then instantly switched to a serious expression: "In short, Isogen-kun has already converted a portion of his potential into strength, and that strength is still growing, you understand?"

Nara Shika remained noncommittal.

I understand, he understands perfectly well.

The fact that the Ino-Shika-Cho tribal groups have managed to survive peacefully during the chaotic Warring States period is not only due to the cooperation of their secret techniques, but also to the cleverness of the Nara clan.

It is compiled into a book using the simplest and most understandable language that even a three-year-old can comprehend.

'Hold on to someone's coattails!!!'

Under normal circumstances, given Igogaku's personality, even a Kage-level powerhouse like him would be unlikely to gain favor with the Nara clan, as it would easily bring him trouble.

However, he is still young, and his combat strength is unknown. He only occasionally reveals his potential, which is beyond his limits. His strength has already surpassed that of Nara Shikaku, the head of the Nara family.

This is definitely a golden opportunity; if we don't seize it now, when will we?

Investing is about timing.

Nara Shikaku looked at his father, who was deep in thought, and yawned as usual, then casually asked a question.

"Father, what do you think of the situation where so many people in Kusagakure Village died?"

Nara paused slightly, holding the shogi board in his right hand, for a few seconds, as if he were thinking.

"This is not a secret."

Iwagakure, who patrols the borders of the Land of Grass, can detect the movements of the country, and naturally, so can the patrolling ninjas of Konoha.

The news had already spread to all the major ninja clans through various channels.

However, it is secondhand information after all, and needs to be refined.

However, it is no secret among the ninja clan that Isogen possesses a ninjutsu capable of targeting and eliminating large numbers of enemies.

Everything that walks in the world leaves a trace.

"will."

As the chess piece was placed, he continued, "There were some radical proposals that took radical approaches, but they were not adopted."

It would be a miracle if it passed.

"Some have also suggested that the Hokage seal this technique away."

"That's impossible. The probability of the boss killing them first is much higher than that."

"So, the final result is... as always, it remains stable."

“Not surprising. Now that things have finally settled down, nobody wants to continue causing chaos,” Nara Shikaku nodded.

Although the specific details of the technique were not leaked, the ninja clan could guess most of its effects.

It's impossible for any normal person to feel at ease knowing that such a dangerous technique is in the hands of a child with a questionable mental state.

In fact, if the major ninja clans could work together, it would be possible to change the mind of the Hokage, and even Mito Uzumaki.

However, as mentioned above, when facing dangerous situations, it is impossible for a person to fully relax and cooperate with others.

Leaving aside other objective factors, the very issue of the spirit of the Fifty Strings Song is enough to make one hesitate.

What if he happens to have an attack when we visit? What if something we say triggers an attack? What if…

In short, even if something unexpected happens, no one dares to be the first to step forward.

A gun doesn't necessarily shoot down the first bird to fly; after all, the one that gets shot down might be a protected animal.

But the probability of a mentally ill person striking someone with a hammer during a psychotic episode is much higher than hitting a bird in flight.

"Mental illness is really useful."

Hearing his son's grumbling, Nara Shikaku tapped the Go board with his knuckles in annoyance.

"That guy's strength is so great that everyone has to coax him to his level. If you're out of your mind and dare to mess around, your father will be the first to beat you up!"

"Got it." Rolling his eyes, Nara Shikaku muttered again after briefly betraying the Nara family.

"These days, there's a threshold for being considered mentally ill."

"Would you say that to Ren Yuge?"

"father!"

boom!

"Dad!"

boom!boom!

"Time and space, tsk, that's complicated."

He quickly memorized the Uchiha clan's knowledge about space-time ninjutsu by skimming through the pages, and then rubbed his temples.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the most difficult ninja in the world.

Even with a thousand years of accumulated knowledge, the Uchiha clan has very little knowledge about space-time ninjutsu; most of it remains conceptual, with very little of it being truly useful.

Slowly closing her eyes, Isogen naturally released her senses, and then the chakra circulating in her body suddenly reversed direction.

Raise your left hand upwards.

brush.

A kunai suddenly appeared.

Space-Time Ninjutsu, a ninjutsu he just mastered that involves space and time, similar to Summoning Jutsu.

Summoning Jutsu is the simplest and most common space-time ninjutsu. To some extent, Flying Thunder God Technique is also a summoning jutsu, but it is more special and has a higher threshold.

Besides having the talent for space-time ninjutsu, the most important thing is nerve reflexes.

Taking reverse summoning as an example, even after training, ninjas will generally experience a disorientation in their sense of space after using reverse summoning, at which point the ninja is vulnerable.

Ninjas train in ninjutsu to become stronger, but if they master it and use it, they're likely to die. Isn't that ridiculous?!

Of course, the effect after repair is also very impressive.

Like Minato Namikaze, who annihilated fifty elite ninjas in a future battle, becoming a legend in the ninja world, and was honored with the privilege of receiving a yellow flash that allowed him to abandon the mission.

As for whether those fifty ninjas were Jonin, Isogenmochi could not possibly have an opinion.

First, even a major ninja village could muster the fighting strength of fifty Jonin; second, Jonin are the power elite of a ninja village, so how could fifty of them be gathered together at once?

What, you don't want the other war zones anymore?

Even assuming these fifty ninjas are all Jonin-level fighters, that's still impossible.

If fifty Jonin were to operate properly, keep their plans secret, and remain hidden, a surprise attack on a major ninja village could easily wipe out even the most powerful ones.

Without exaggeration, given the intensity of the war at the time, if a major ninja village had truly lost fifty Jonin, considering its previous losses, it would have immediately withdrawn its battle lines to protect the village.

They even hit a hammer here!

There's a cheater on the other side!

"Unfortunately, the Flying Thunder God Technique isn't what I wanted." Playing with the randomly refreshed kunai, Igarashi was very dissatisfied with the performance.
