Naruto: Starting with a space-time bloodline limit, a top-tier ninja.

Chapter 121 Afei Version: Yahiko VS Konan and Nagato

Walking along the rugged mountain path, Nagato and Konan had crossed countless mountains.

But at some point, the two stopped communicating.

Xiao Nan still had her hands in her pockets, looking very aloof.

Nagato, who had already sealed the box full of bounty money inside the storage scroll, also remained expressionless.

"—Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

As they prepared to cross another mountain and passed through an open area, Nagato suddenly turned and breathed out a flame towards a hillside at the eight o'clock position.

The flames had barely been launched when they grew into a massive, meteorite-shaped fireball, and with the speed of a falling meteorite, they crashed into the hillside.

With a deafening roar, the meteorite-shaped fireball spread into an enormous sea of ​​fire. If the mountain had been covered with trees, it probably wouldn't have been long before the entire mountain turned into a volcano.

Just as the sea of ​​fire began to spread, a blurry figure, barely visible to the naked eye, leaped down the hillside.

In a few blinks, he appeared atop a rocky mountain not far from Nagato and Konan, looking down at them from above.

Konan put her hands in her pockets, glanced sideways at Yahiko, who was dressed in a black robe, her calm gaze suggesting she was not surprised by Yahiko's appearance at all.

Unlike Konan, who showed no interest in turning to face Yahiko, Nagato stared intently at Yahiko, who was clad in Tobi's armor, and asked in a deep voice, "Not a face on the wanted list. Who are you, and why are you following us?"

Yahiko was also scrutinizing his target, looking at the purple-rippled eye. Having merged with Tobi, his senses had been dramatically enhanced. Could he clearly perceive the terrifying power contained within that eye?

Is this the miraculous power that can be compared to the spacetime bloodline limit?

Even the story of the Sage of Six Paths is true, so how could ninjas really create the moon?

While secretly pondering to himself, Yahiko introduced himself with a blank expression: "My name is Yahiko, the god of the future new world, and the protector who will guide you, the possessor of the Rinnegan, onto the path of miracles."

Konan, who was initially uninterested in Yahiko, glanced at him again, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

Her focus wasn't on the fact that the other person also knew about the Rinnegan, but rather on the phrase "god of the new world."

This remark offended Xiao Nan.

So, Konan coldly said, "Nagato, kill him."

"Yes."

Nagato, who was still wondering what the Rinnegan was, suddenly changed his expression.

Without the slightest hesitation, he formed a hand seal with one hand, then opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of air towards Yahiko.

The next second, the airflow turned into a strong wind, sweeping across the entire mountain area like a hurricane.

All the flowers and plants on the flat ground instantly sprang up from the ground.

Even the stones and boulders rooted in the ground were lifted off the surface, and cracks appeared that could not withstand the pressure, or even shattered on the spot.

Looking down from above, you'll see an explosive vortex storm formed by a high-pressure vortex in the mountains.

Everything within this vortex storm will either be uprooted or develop cracks, or be shattered on the spot by the terrifying wind-escape nature transformation.

And this was just Nagato forming a hand seal, and it was only a Wind Release technique created by a single seal.

Unlike the original story, at the age of thirteen, a greenhouse can never cultivate good flowers. Even Gojo Yoru has made slow progress in recent years because he has been immersed in a gentle world.

In the original story, Naruto Uzumaki only improved his Rasengan by working alongside Jiraiya for three years, which laid a solid foundation for him.

Sasuke Uchiha, who trained with Orochimaru for three years, not only completely overwhelmed Naruto Uzumaki in terms of basic skills, but also developed the S-rank Lightning Release: Kirin, making him comparable to Deidara, who defeated Gaara. He is definitely an ace fighter.

Following Konan, Nagato not only learned her self-discipline, but also continued to raid tombs with her, receiving secret investment from Madara Uchiha. He first mastered the Uchiha clan's Fire Release and Tobirama Senju's Water Release, and then gradually mastered the other three elements, becoming a master of the Five Elements.

With their formidable strength, they also began to work as bounty hunters. Nagato would always fight the enemy head-on, and only when he couldn't defeat Konan would he step in.

Due to insufficient combat experience and a lack of intelligence about the enemy, even though Nagato awakened the bloodlines of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans and possessed far greater chakra reserves than either clan, he was nearly killed by the enemy multiple times and was covered in wounds.

Stimulated by the life-or-death battle, perhaps due to the body receiving ample nutrition or the influence of willpower, Nagato awakened two unique abilities of the Uzumaki clan: physical healing and Kagura's Mind's Eye.

With the terrifying vitality of two bloodlines, Nagato's medical and recovery abilities are in no way inferior to Kushina Uzumaki, who has the Nine-Tails as a guarantee.

The current Nagato, just like in the original story, is an all-around being who has mastered all six nature transformations and is proficient in all mainstream ninjutsu in the ninja world.

To be precise, he is even more versatile and powerful than in the original work.

Creating such an explosive vortex storm is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Three-way barrier".

A terrifying hurricane swept through the entire mountain area, and Xiao Nan was also affected.

Konan remained standing with her hands in her pockets, watching Nagato's performance.

However, black lines appeared on her body, and then sheets of white paper flew out, intertwining to form a white paper chain that stuck into the ground, forming a triangle.

The next second, three emerald green light walls appeared out of thin air, forming a pyramid-shaped barrier that enveloped Xiao Nan.

Neither whirlpools nor flying sand and stones could affect Xiao Nan.

This is how Konan developed the Paper Escape technique.

To be precise, it was Gojo Yoru's development of the paper-based escape technique.

Just like Jiraiya's hair secret technique, the Akimichi clan's multiplication secret technique, and even Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, which are bloodline limits formed by the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release nature transformations, they are based on Yang Release chakra and are not bloodline limits.

The Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Barrier is also an ability derived from Yang Release, which can transform chakra into chains that extend from the body.

Yang Dun has form, Yin Dun has no form.

All tangible, visible, and body-controlled secret techniques are Yang Escape.

The same applies to the secret technique of paper-based escape.

Gojo Yoru, who then used the Spirit Transformation Technique to possess both Kushina Uzumaki and Konan, discovered that the Paper Release technique and the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Technique were similar in their sealing abilities.

The chains of the Adamantine Sealing Technique not only possess tailed beast-specific attacks, but once bound to an enemy, they can also be used to perform sealing techniques from a distance, just like Wood Release, since the chains are a product of chakra materialization.

The Paper Release technique, capable of creating explosive tags, can also manipulate the chakra within the paper to perform spells remotely.

It can not only cast sealing techniques, but also barrier techniques.

With the help of the "grandpa Gojo Yoru" (a character from Journey to the West who has a cheat code), Konan has become a top sealing master in the ninja world. Many sealing techniques and barrier techniques were given to her by Gojo Yoru and Madara Uchiha in different ways.

While inside the barrier, Xiao Nan suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Amidst the storm, the boulder beneath Yahiko's feet was also destroyed by the powerful wind-style transformation.

The boulder beneath his feet shattered, but Yahiko was not blown away by the strong wind. After landing, he stood like a towering tree that could not be harmed by wind, rain, thunder, lightning, mountain fire, or frost.

Compared to Konan, Yahiko's method of directly withstanding the terrifying wind jutsu is even more visually stunning.

The explosive vortex storm lasted for a long time before dissipating.

The land was in ruins, with only Yahiko and his two companions remaining.

Looking at Yahiko, who had withstood his Wind Release: Pressure attack unscathed and hadn't even taken a step back, Nagato's eyes were filled with apprehension.

This guy's strength is... very strong!

"That was a great greeting. Well then—it's my turn."

Yahiko praised Nagato's attack, then clapped his hands and uttered the name of a technique that shocked both Nagato and Konan.

"Wood Release: Descent from the Sea of ​​Trees!"

The scene of the earth shaking was presented in the mountains.

Nagato and Konan felt the ground beneath their feet shaking violently.

Then, huge cracks suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them, and green saplings grew out of the cracks, quickly inflating and growing into huge trees.

Before the first tree could even stand, another tree sprouted, crowding out the growing space. As a result, these trees, like a swarm of pythons released from their cages, transformed into a green wave that engulfed Nagato and Konan.

Such a scene is visually striking.

Compared to this kind of physical destructive impact, the water escape technique, with its equally astonishing range, seems insignificant.

Faced with such a powerful ninjutsu, even if the Fire Release nature transformation is strong enough to ignite it, it is unknown how much chakra would be required to resist it.

Nagato also knew Wood Release.

Or rather, everyone knows that Wood Release, the bloodline limit that pacifies the chaotic world, is a product of the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release nature transformation.

This was once an unsolved mystery among ninja villages in various countries.

Because there are also many masters of nature transformation who have tried to combine the two nature transformations of water and earth, so that the legendary wood release can reappear in the ninja world.

These masters did indeed successfully merge, but instead of becoming Wood Release ninjas, they became Lava Release ninjas.

Yes, it's called "melt escape," not "melt escape."

Lava Release can create magma, while Melt Release can only spew acid; its effect is not even worthy of being compared to Boil Release.

At least Boil Release can still be used in taijutsu, allowing Han, who had already been killed by Gojo Yoru, to become a famous steam ninja.

As a product of the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release, Wood Release not only possesses the mass of the earth, but also contains an astonishing amount of moisture. Its biggest difference from trees in nature is its resistance to burning.

To burn down a forest created by Wood Release, you must first burn away the two great chakra within it before you can destroy it.

Otherwise, the trees will automatically extinguish the flames on their bodies, or even use the flames to enhance their power and continue moving forward.

Using fire magic on such a large area of ​​tree waves would most likely harm yourself.

Then, wisps of electricity crackled around Nagato's body, and with a flash, he vanished into thin air.

It's the living embodiment of Lightning Release Chakra!

Xiao Nan stopped watching the show, released the three seals, unfurled a pair of huge white wings, and soared into the sky.

White paper fell from the ground and during the flight, like angel feathers.

Konan originally intended to let Nagato deal with the enemies, as before, in order to train him as the owner of the Rinnegan.

Seeing the enemy use Wood Release, Konan immediately dismissed the idea.

This person, who looks to be the same age as them, is a huge surprise and is very likely to become the biggest obstacle in Master Ye's plans.

To avoid him interfering with Lord Yoru's plans, Konan instinctively wanted to eliminate him rather than run away and report back to Yoru later.

Such a mindset requires strong capabilities to support it.

Flying high in the sky, Konan's eyes seemed to have the function of a telescope, accurately locating Yahiko's position amidst the dense vegetation.

Then she raised her palm, and a whirlwind appeared, forming a mini tornado that could be held in one hand.

The next second, sheets of white paper were flung out by the little tornado, instantly turning into a white snowflake that drifted downwards.

The papers fell faster and faster, eventually accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound as they swooshed through the air.

The fallen paper had somehow transformed into a white shuriken.

Even more incredibly, these shuriken are also covered with Wind Release nature transformation, containing astonishing cutting power.

Even a stone touched by a shuriken will be pierced through at best, and cut in half at worst.

As countless shuriken rained down on the gradually forming forest, the sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh echoed throughout the area.

Rumble—

As the series of explosions resounded, a truly spectacular scene unfolded below.

Within the dense forest, dazzling flames burst forth, followed by thick smoke and dust that formed mushroom clouds that rose into the air.

Then, aided by the storm, the flames spread rapidly, attempting to turn the entire forest into a sea of ​​fire and burn it to ashes.

It turns out that those shuriken were not made of ordinary paper, but were explosive tags.

The explosive tags containing wind-style chakra will not only have their power greatly increased after they explode, but their coverage area will also be dramatically expanded.

This single move alone gives Xiao Nan an astonishing strategic deterrent.

Unlike when he withstood Nagato's wind release attack earlier, this time when facing Konan's aerial bombardment, Yahiko not only needed to dodge, but also instinctively chose to dodge.

There was no way around it; he had developed a phobia of explosive tags.

Three teenagers, each wielding a single, greeting-style ninjutsu, transformed a vast mountain plain into a scene of hell on earth.

Even among the elite forces of the five great ninja villages, very few could achieve such a feat.

Those who can do this must be Water Release ninjas.

It's not that they lack strength, but rather that their chakra reserves are far from sufficient.

This is the battle against the monster Chatonla!
