Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 214 Shocking News in the Ninja World

The setting sun of the month of Maoyue has gone.

Although he sweated a lot due to the intense match and was dehydrated and weak compared to before, his spirits were much better.

The work pressure of the past few days vanished in an instant.

Before leaving, she said to Shenyue Xingyun, "Thank you."

"If you need my help in the future, just ask."

Shenyue Xingyun was stronger than him, which meant that he improved a lot in the sparring session, while Shenyue Xingyun didn't gain much.

She couldn't quite understand why the other party was being so polite, but she assured them that she would try her best to meet their needs if they required anything in the future.

What she didn't know was that Shenyue Xingyun actually gained a lot.

[Current Task: Stress Relief (Long-accumulated work pressure is difficult to relieve; please help the other person release stress through discussion), Completed!]

【请选择任务奖励：闪现（Lv3）*1、腾空（Lv3）*1，遁地（Lv3）*1】

【Flash (Lv3): Consumes a certain amount of chakra to perform a short-distance teleportation within 20 meters. Note: Cooldown time is one minute. There cannot be any obstructions other than air within the teleportation path.】

[Aerial Flight (Lv3): Consumes a certain amount of chakra, allowing slow aerial flight at a height of up to 20 meters. The aerial position must be below a strong surface such as ground or water; not applicable in special gravity environments.]

[Earth-遁 (Lv3): Consumes a certain amount of chakra to burrow into the ground at a depth of up to 20 meters. There cannot be any barriers or special energy bodies within the ground.]

The mission was completed smoothly and successfully on the first attempt. Inside the tent, Shenyue Xingyun checked the mission rewards while ventilating the tent.

All three rewards are Lv3, and all are of good quality.

If Shenyue Xingyun were to choose his favorite, he would actually prefer soaring through the air.

Flying is the dream of countless boys since childhood. Although 20 meters is a bit low, low-altitude flight is just as fun.

Even in the ninja world, apart from Onoki of the Two Scales, it seems that no other ninja can fly.

But he's no longer a little boy; he's a ninja. In the midst of the Third Shinobi World War, his top priority is to increase his strength.

While the Lv3 aerial skill is fun, flying slowly at low altitudes makes you an easy target for enemies. In comparison, the teleport skill is more practical in combat.

As for Earth Escape, its effect overlaps somewhat with the Earth Release technique he obtained from the lottery. Even though it's deeper, the improvement is minimal. In the event of encountering a ninja who masters large-scale Earth Release, he would be easily countered.

Choose Flash.

[Selection complete.]

[New mission issued: Respect (Using both hands against an enemy is a sign of contempt for a ninja. When you challenge Uzuki Yuhi again, please engage in a serious duel to dispel any doubts the opponent may have.)]

[Task Time Limit: Thirty Days]

[Task Reward (Choose one): Blink (Lv4), Leap (Lv4), Burrow (Lv4)]

Looking at the new task before him, Shenyue Xingyun fell silent.

Ask the system?

It seems like an unnecessary question.

He had long been familiar with the system's nature, and after looking at the task details, he began to recall his birth date.

After recalling it, he looked at the calendar on the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay.

The system also has a most basic bottom line.

She stepped in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

His perfectly proportioned features, enough to make one marvel at the Creator's favoritism, and beneath his clean and well-fitting ninja uniform, a tall and strong physique.

The student who was once at the bottom of the class has finally grown up after many years and become an outstanding young man known throughout the ninja world.

Even if I go all out now, it shouldn't affect my future potential, right?

He thought to himself.

My feelings are suddenly a bit complicated.

Feeling uneasy, nervous—and a little excited.

Just after Shenyue Xingyun had made preparations for battle, there was still no movement from the camp.

The Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have suddenly fallen silent, offering neither attack nor a sneak attack. This left the Leaf Village ninja quite bewildered.

A few days later, a piece of news that shook the ninja world suddenly spread.

The Third Raikage is dead!

The intelligence spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world, shaking the ninjas of all the major ninja villages.

"Really? The Third Raikage is dead?"

"Is this fake news? How could the Third Raikage be dead? Wasn't that a humanoid tailed beast?"

"Everyone dies. Iwagakure has Onoki, the Scales of Heaven; it's not impossible for him to take down the Third Raikage."

"That's true."

Soon, the speculation was overturned, and subsequent intelligence revealed the answer.

The Third Raikage was worn down and killed by Iwagakure's overwhelming numbers.

In order to wear down the Raikage, Iwagakure suffered heavy casualties, exhausting his chakra before finally defeating him.

Such explosive news shocked even the village leaders.

Leaf.

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his pipe, and smoke filled the air.

Across from him, Danzo sat in a chair with his arms crossed, looking at the intelligence report in front of him and sneer.

"Heh~"

"The Third Raikage, a man of such stature, died at the hands of a bunch of ordinary ninjas. How foolish!"

"Despite possessing extraordinary strength, he has absolutely no ability to adapt."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and said, "It's truly unacceptable that the Kage of a village should die like this."

Danzo: "Exactly."

"He should learn from Iwagakure and our Konoha."

"The leader of a village should sit in the rear to oversee the overall situation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo.

I don't think what the other person said was a compliment.

He didn't dwell on the issue for long, and instead said, "With the death of the Third Raikage, Kumogakure will definitely experience a shock."

"The situation on the northern front may be turning around."

"I hope so." Danzo wasn't as optimistic as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"That guy A is just like the Third Raikage; he's no ordinary person either. With this happening, the attack might become even more intense."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned even deeper: "Still no news of Jiraiya?"

Danzo: "If you haven't even sent any news, how could I possibly?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer, and after a while put down his pipe: "I'll just have to trouble Minato."

"Hopefully he can withstand the pressure; there's a severe shortage of high-level combat power right now."

At that moment, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

If only Sakumo Hatake were still alive. With his strength, he could potentially turn the tide of battle in any arena.

However, he didn't have the nerve to say those words to Danzo's face.

Just as the ninjas from various villages were speculating about how Kumogakure would respond, two days later...

Hidden Rocks.

In a reception room, Onoki looked at the travel-worn Cloud Village ninja before him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Your name is Motoi?"

"Did the Raikage send you?"

Motoi removed his hood, revealing his true face.

He looked at Onoki, who sat high above him, his feelings extremely complex. Recalling Ai's firm instructions before he came, he took a deep breath and buried the hostility in his eyes.

"That's right, the Fourth Raikage sent me."

"The Fourth Raikage?" Onoki chuckled, his tone ambiguous, whether it was mockery or a sigh of admiration.

"It's settled so quickly?"

Motoi: "Ai has long been recognized by the village. With the death of the third generation, it is only natural for him to inherit the position of the fourth Raikage."

"Alright, the Fourth Raikage it is then," Onoki said. "Tell me, what did he send you here for?"

"Declare war?"

Motoi stared directly at Onoki and said in a deep voice.

"No."

"We're here to negotiate."

Onoki narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about?"

Motoi: "The Fourth Raikage wants you to kill someone."

Onoki's gaze sharpened instantly.

Even he was shocked by the attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Onoki stared intently at Motoi, his gaze sharp as a torch.

Upon noticing that the latter's expression remained resolute, he spoke slowly.

"You want me to take action?"
