I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 99: Suddenly I feel like the Ten-Tails is a bit pathetic; Hero saves the damsel in distress.

"Teacher Kurenai, has the Land of Wind been invaded by a rival ninja village?"

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi using teleportation while taking out a map and marking it, Shino Aburame couldn't help but ask curiously.

The observant man noticed the key words in Kurenai Yuhi's words.

It was the Land of Wind that was attacked, not the Sand Village.

When the country's territory was attacked by a foreign enemy, Sunagakure, a military base of the Land of Wind, asked Konoha for help. This shows that even with so many ninjas, Sunagakure was unable to resolve the crisis and had no choice but to ask for help from its allies.

Yagyu also looked thoughtful, never expecting that the Land of Wind had encountered such a major event before Shippuden began.

However, what Yagyu didn't expect was that after Uchiha Sasuke's defection, there would be such a major event in the youth arc.

"See for yourselves."

Kurenai tossed the scroll to Shino Aburame, then continued drawing circles on the map with a red pen.

These circles are all located within the Wind Kingdom section.

Shino Aburame took the scroll and, after reading the information on it, quickly showed a look of surprise, saying, "The cities of the Land of Wind have all been attacked by groups of armored men, and bombarded by cannon fire from some giant steel ships and a huge mobile fortress? Giant steel ships and a mobile fortress—has the technology outside become that advanced?"

"I don't know where these people came from. They don't use ninjutsu either. If it weren't for their mobile fortress that can move on land, they might be invaders from some unknown island outside the Ninja Continent."

Kurenai Yuhi offered her analysis: "However, the Ninja Continent is so vast, and the Warring States period lasted for a thousand years. These guys might be descendants of some ancient kingdom, or they might have found a treasure passed down from some ancient kingdom."

Liu Sheng, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had a strange expression on his face.

Hearing what Kurenai said, a strange sense of familiarity returned.

This feeling is just like seeing those ninjas stealing the fragrant insects.

Clearly, this is not a butterfly effect caused by Yagyu, but rather a plot point already present in the original work.

Yagyu may have witnessed such a major event, but he simply forgot about it.

Suddenly, Yagyu formed a hand seal and gave instructions to his wood clones scattered throughout the ninja world.

In an instant, the wooden clones, who used numerous disguise techniques to impersonate others, immediately used the Mayfly Technique to travel to the Land of Wind and begin searching for the giant steel ships and the mobile fortress.

A day later, Team 8, who were already in the Land of Fire, quickly arrived in the Land of Wind by traveling at full speed using the Body Flicker Technique.

During this time, the wooden clone also continuously transmitted information to Yagyu in real time.

Possessing the Mayfly Technique, the strongest teleportation technique on Earth, and the Wood Clone with Kagura's Mind's Eye and the Byakugan and Red Eyes, through division of labor and cooperation, they have located the steel behemoths and mobile fortresses, which has finally reminded Yagyu of this chapter.

No wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite place it.

It turns out this chapter isn't part of the manga or anime storyline, but rather the plot of a theatrical film.

This theatrical version is titled —The Lost Tomb: Phantom Land.

The reason Yagyu remembered this name was not because this movie was very famous.

On the contrary, this theatrical version is very boring, and has even been dubbed the most boring theatrical version.

That's why Yagyu actually had a rather deep impression of this theatrical version.

After gathering information through his wooden clone, Yagyu also remembered some important plot points.

The group that attacked the Land of Wind intended to establish an ideal country. In reality, their leader was searching for a stone vein containing special energy, hoping to absorb that energy to become stronger.

That mineral vein contains terrifying energy; once it erupts, its power is enough to destroy half a continent.

Thinking about this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but feel a surge of complaints in his mind.

All those seemingly awesome things actually come from the theatrical versions.

The dragon veins that could destroy the entire earth if not handled carefully, the chakra cannon that can blast the earth to attack the moon, and the Tenseigan that can split the moon—these three memorable things all come from the movie.

Now another mine has appeared that could blow up half a continent. If he didn't know that the Six Paths level was a sublimation of realm and a transformation of life level, Yagyu would almost have thought that the Ten-Tails was a bit of a loser.

After all, the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball could only destroy a few mountains and a command center.

They couldn't even wipe out a small country in one shot.

In contrast, these kinds of stone veins, dragon veins, and chakra cannons can destroy areas ranging from half a continent to several hundred miles.

However, compared to the mine that could destroy half a continent, what impressed Yagyu the most about this movie was the space-time cave that resolved the crisis!

It was a bottomless void that could suck everything in, and it was also a spirit array that required a special bloodline to activate, located inside that underground ruin.

Once the key that can trigger the psychic array is found, the bottomless void can be summoned, sucking away the caster and the mineral vein together.

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes.

The Space-Time Aperture is practically a space-time summoning technique that can take the enemy down with it.

But Yagyu really wanted to see this special summoning technique.

After receiving Konoha's strongest resources from the previous Hokage, Yagyu had already begun having his shadow clones assist him in his training.

The technique that Yagyu valued most was not the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but the Flying Thunder God technique, which only Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze knew.

Of the three great techniques in Shippuden, the strongest in terms of combat power is the Eight Gates Formation, but the most unbeatable one is not the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, but the Flying Thunder God Technique, which can be used instantly without hand seals as long as a spacetime marker is left.

Even more terrifying is that once the Flying Thunder God mark is left on an enemy, only a Six Paths level powerhouse can remove it unless the enemy scrapes off a piece of flesh.

If the opponent does not remove the Flying Thunder God mark, the spell will remain effective indefinitely, and the caster can teleport to their location at any time.

This is the first time that Yagyu has cultivated such a high-level technique without using any cheat codes, and he still has no clue how to do it.

The appearance of the Time-Space Hole gave Yagyu a flash of inspiration.

He was prepared to experience the power of space and time firsthand, hoping that he might find the key.

With that in mind, Yagyu immediately made a decision.

So he gave his wooden clones another order, instructing them to carry out the plan he had just devised.

Class 8, of course, had no idea what Yagyu was thinking.

Upon arriving in the Land of Wind, Kurenai immediately said to the three Yagyu, "We currently know nothing about the attackers. Let's go to Sunagakure and see what kind of help they need."

Before Shino Aburame and Hinata could nod, Yagyu said, "No need, Kurenai-sensei. I've already sent my wood clones to support the attacked cities. Sunagakure is also searching for them and has already made some progress. We can just go and meet up with them."

"Wooden clone?"

Kurenai looked at Yagyu with surprise: "When did you send out your wooden clone?"

"A long time ago."

Yagyu frankly stated, "The Wood Clone is a very special physical clone. It has no distance limitation from the original body and can absorb the chakra of others to regenerate itself. In fact, I have always had spies outside."

"I see."

Class 8 suddenly realized, and Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed, "No wonder you know so much at such a young age. It seems it's not just because you're precocious."

"Now, let me lead the way."

Yagyu led the way and flew out.

Class 8 followed closely behind.

sizzle...

woohoo hoo...

Rumble...

The Land of Winds, a certain desert region.

Electric currents clashed, winds howled, and explosions roared continuously.

The camera zooms in, revealing Gaara and his two siblings fighting a group of well-armored soldiers next to a wrecked ship that has just emerged from underground.

Leading this group of soldiers were one man and three women dressed in knight armor of different colors.

However, the man did not make a move; the three Gaara siblings were fought by three female knights with different abilities.

"Who exactly are you guys?"

Gaara, gazing at Ranke clad in purple armor who could unleash lightning without hand seals, crossed his arms and asked in a deep voice, "These unknown abilities, and this superior equipment—which faction do you belong to, and why did you attack the Land of Wind?"

However, Ranke ignored Gaara and instead unleashed lightning attacks on him, attempting to break through Gaara's automatic sand defense. At the same time, he shouted at the male knight who hadn't made a move and looked utterly conflicted, "Timsi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up with them! Completing Lord Hyde's mission is the most important thing!"

"But you..."

"Enough talk, we'll be there for you soon. Your mission now is to capture that guy and find that place. Lord Hyde's mission is the most important!"

Ranke's body suddenly flashed with a dazzling green light, his skin turned purple at a visible speed, and his body rapidly expanded, quickly transforming him into an ape.

The blue-white lightning also became violent, with its power and attack speed increasing dramatically.

Seeing that his companion had used the power of the Grell Stone, Timsi no longer hesitated and nodded solemnly: "I understand. Be careful."

After saying that, Timothy suddenly took out something and smashed it on the ground.

A dazzling golden light flashed, and when the light faded, the person had vanished without a trace.

That's a flashbang!

Upon seeing this, Gaara's expression changed instantly.

Although we don't know what their goal is, that man must be doing something important, maybe something detrimental to the Land of Wind.

Thinking of this, Gaara, who had originally intended to test the waters to see if he could gather any useful information, quickly formed hand seals and slammed the ground: "Sandstorm Burial!"

In an instant, the desert seemed to collapse, and the armored men who were being slaughtered unilaterally by Kankuro and Temari suddenly lost their footing and were pulled into the ground by hands formed from sand. Then, the ground shook, annihilating them all.

In the desert, just like Kisame Hoshigaki in the sea, Kimimaro in the White Bone Forest, and Yagyu in the Advent of the World of Trees, Gaara's strength will be greatly enhanced.

In the blink of an eye, only three female knights leading the army remained.

At this point, they had all entered a beast-like state.

Ranke, who fought Gaara, transformed into an ape and wore a light green knight's armor, while Camilla, who fought Kankuro, transformed into a bat.

In the battle against Temari, Kaze, who was wearing blue knight armor, transformed into a werewolf.

"For Lord Hyde's ideal state, you will all die!"

The three female knights, having entered beast form, became increasingly irritable, roaring like wild beasts.

In addition to fighting Temari, Feng also unleashed a sonic attack that twisted air currents from his mouth, catching Temari completely off guard.

Temari instinctively swung her three-star fan, unleashing a powerful wind blast that stirred up a cloud of dust.

However, the sonic storm passed through the gale and sandstorm, stirring up a sandstorm that engulfed Temari.

Temari's ears suddenly started ringing, and sand got into her eyes. She instinctively covered her ears and closed her eyes, preparing to release her senses.

However, she underestimated the werewolf's speed.

Before she could even register what was happening, a blurry figure appeared in the sandstorm, brandishing its claws as it attacked her.

"Temari!"

As if realizing that Temari was in danger, Gaara and Kankuro's expressions changed drastically. Gaara even hurriedly controlled the sand, his heart filled with anxiety and regret.

After these people transformed, their strength was on a completely different level from before.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have held back and would have been prepared to capture them alive!

*Pfft pfft pfft...*

Just then, a series of sounds of sharp weapons entering bodies suddenly reached the ears of Gaara, Kankuro, Ranke, and Camilla.

Gaara and Kankuro instantly turned pale, while Ranke and Camilla's beast-like faces revealed ferocious smiles, as if one could see through the dust and fog the scene of Feng Wai tearing that woman to shreds.

call--

A gust of wind dispersed the dust and mist, and the smiles on Rank and Camilla's faces vanished instantly.

Gaara and Kankuro showed joy on their faces.

Are you alright?

Temari's hearing, which had been restored, was suddenly greeted by a gentle voice.

Opening her blurry eyes, Temari could vaguely see a tall figure standing in front of her in the sunlight.

Gradually, the figure became clearer.

With silver hair and a black trench coat, one hand in his pocket and the other gripping the neck of a werewolf covered in wooden spikes, he turned his head and looked at her with red eyes.

"Yanagi...Yagyu!"

Looking at the boy who had recently become famous and was now renowned throughout the ninja world just as she had imagined, Temari called out his name.

Staring at that incredibly handsome profile and those beautiful, ruby-like eyes, Temari felt her heart suddenly race, as if it were a suspension bridge reaction, whether it was a reaction or not.

Her blood was flowing faster and her body temperature was rising rapidly. Temari didn't even need to touch her face to feel that her cheeks must be bright red.
