Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 151 The War Begins

At this moment, a short and thin figure slowly walked out from beside Luo Sha.

Chiyo.

She squinted at the Konoha formation opposite her, her gaze sweeping over the faces of those on high alert, finally settling on the two figures at the very front. She let out a cold laugh and said sarcastically, "Heh."

"Of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, only two have come today?"

Chiyo's gaze swept across the Konoha camp.

"What happened to that snake-playing kid? Is he dead? Or is he hiding in some ditch, too scared to come out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a low chuckle rippled through the Sand Village formation.

At the front of the Konoha formation, Jiraiya didn't speak, but just looked at Tsunade beside him. He thought it best to leave arguing with women to Tsunade, who was also a woman.

Tsunade stepped forward, crossed her arms, and a smile curved her lips.

"Who do we have here? It's Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure. You've reminded me."

Tsunade's gaze swept over Chiyo's face, then she deliberately glanced at Rasa beside her from time to time.

"The Third Kazekage's puppet is still sitting in your house, isn't it? Oh, not satisfied with just looking at it every day, you've brought the new Kazekage out for a stroll again?"

Chiyo's expression stiffened slightly, and the laughter from the Sunagakure camp abruptly stopped.

Tsunade, however, had no intention of stopping. Her gaze shifted to Rasa, a meaningful smile appearing on her face: "This gentleman next to you must be the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa? Lord Rasa, you'd better watch out."

"Since Chiyo was able to turn the Third Kazekage into a human puppet and keep him in a secluded room, treating him like a plaything in her palm..."

At this point, Tsunade tilted her head, her smile becoming even more amused, and kindly reminded her, "It's not impossible that one day she might suddenly decide to turn Lord Rasa into a human puppet and send him to keep the Third Kazekage company, hehe..."

'

The Sand Village camp was deathly silent. Chiyo's smile vanished completely, replaced by a gloomy expression in her eyes.

Although Luo Sha's expression remained unchanged, his eyes darkened, and at the same time, a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

After the war began, Konoha immediately released the news that the Third Kazekage was dead and that the murderer was Sasori.

Luo Sha didn't believe it at first, but later, as time went by and as he repeatedly flipped through those files, those overlooked details began to surface little by little.

The Third Kazekage last appeared on the border of the Land of Rivers. He went there to recruit that small family with red eyes.

Among those accompanying him were Scorpion and several other members of the Shadow Guard.

Those people all disappeared later, neither alive nor dead.

With the strength of the Third Kazekage and his Shadow Guard, even if he were surrounded, he would not be able to fight back without any power. There is simply no one in the entire ninja world who could make him disappear without a trace.

unless!

Those who took action were their own people.

Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Sasori, Chiyo's grandson, is Sunagakure's youngest puppet genius. He inherited Chiyo's poison skills and is proficient in various assassination methods. If he were to strike when the Third Kazekage is off guard, if he were to secretly poison the Third Kazekage...

Therefore, there is a high probability that what Konoha said is true.

The Third Kazekage truly died at the hands of his own people.

Luo Sha suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, and his face remained calm.

"Rasa, the matter of the Third Generation is definitely not..."

'

Chiyo's voice came from beside her, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Rasa raised his hand to interrupt her.

Elder Chiyo.

Rasa didn't look at her; his gaze remained fixed on the Konoha camp opposite them.

"This is Konoha's attempt to sow discord."

It doesn't matter who killed him now.

Once war begins, there is only one common enemy.

Regardless of the truth behind the Third Kazekage's death, the blame can only be placed on Konoha, and only on Konoha.

Now, we must not say a single word that could affect unity, nor do a single thing that could affect unity.

Luo Sha took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.

"My fellow villagers of Sunagakure!"

His voice suddenly rose, drowning out all the noise on the battlefield: "Prepare for the attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flurry of hand seals suddenly rang out from within the Sand Village formation.

The hundreds of ninjas at the front formed hand seals almost simultaneously and slammed their palms into the ground.

"Earth Release: Great River of Earth!"

"Earth Release: Earth and Wood Technique!"

"Escape...

'

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently, and the ground at the foot of Mount Kikyo shook violently. Cracks spread across the mountain like giant snakes, the hard rocks began to loosen, and soil cascaded down.

Sunagakure wanted to alter the terrain, reduce the slope, and fill in the ravines to pave the way for the main force to follow.

After all, not everyone has the immense power of Madara Uchiha, capable of shattering mountains with a single strike. In conventional warfare, every inch of terrain advantage must be paid for with lives.

Immediately afterwards, a series of loud explosions came from behind the Sand Village formation.

boom! boom! boom!

A dozen or so plumes of white smoke exploded almost simultaneously, from which emerged all sorts of enormous creatures, including giant sand scorpions wielding venomous pincers.

Giant lizards covered in thick armor... These specially bred large spiritual beasts roared and charged forward, each step causing the ground to tremble.

They served as the meat shields for the charge, responsible for drawing the initial firepower from the Leaf Village side. Following closely behind were countless puppets.

Hundreds of puppets of various shapes surged forth like a tide. Some ran on all fours like wild beasts, while others soared through the air, casting shadows. The puppeteers followed closely behind, their fingers flying as they controlled these killing machines to rush towards Mount Kikyo. Beside the puppeteers were Sand Village ninjas holding swords and forming hand seals. They were mixed with the puppets in formation, covering each other and serving as special forces.

The Sand Village's offensive, like a black wave, swept towards Mount Kikyo.

"Ready!"

Jiraiya's voice also rang out loudly within the Leaf Village formation.

The Earth Release ninjas at the front simultaneously formed hand seals and slammed their hands on the ground.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Earth Release: Earth Formation Wall!"

Thick earthen walls rose from the foot of the mountain, layer upon layer, crisscrossing to form a network, firmly resisting the surging terrain transformation brought by Sunagakure. Soil and rocks collided violently in front of the mountain, producing a muffled, thunderous roar.

Immediately afterward, Jiraiya bit his finger, letting the blood trickle down his palm, and formed hand seals: "Summoning Jutsu!"

boom!

A cloud of white smoke, larger than any summoning beast from Sunagakure, exploded out, and from within the smoke, a gigantic toad suddenly appeared and landed in front of the Leaf Village formation.

It had a pipe in its mouth, a short knife at its waist, and its eyes glared at the approaching enemy.

"Jiraiya, another big scene like this."

Gamabunta exhaled a puff of smoke, his tone languid as he glanced around.

Jiraiya leaped and landed on Gamabunta's head. He took a deep breath, and his chakra surged wildly within him.

"Bunta, use oil!"

"clear!"

Wen Tai opened his huge mouth, his abdomen suddenly swelled up, and then!

call! ! !

Thick toad oil gushed from its mouth like a waterfall. In that instant, a blazing flame shot out from Jiraiya's mouth, instantly igniting the toad oil that filled the sky!

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Behind Jiraiya, dozens of Konoha Wind Release ninjas who had been waiting for orders attacked simultaneously, unleashing gusts of wind that precisely poured into the sea of ​​fire!

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire was fueled by the wind!

The already towering flames, carried by the gale, instantly swelled several times over, transforming into a massive, sky-covering wave of fire that crashed down on the Sand Village's front-line formation with overwhelming force!

The summoned beasts at the forefront were engulfed by flames, screaming as they rolled and fell in the sea of ​​fire. The puppet troops following closely behind rushed into the fire, and the puppets quickly burned in the flames, turning into moving fireballs.

As the massive wave of flames was about to strike the Sand Village assault ninjas and puppeteers behind them, the summoned beasts and puppets in front acted as human shields, drawing fire and giving the Sand Village ninjas in the back a time to react.

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Dozens of Sand Village ninja hastily formed hand seals, and walls of water and earth rose from the ground in an attempt to block the oncoming sea of ​​fire. However, the flames were too intense, the water walls were evaporated, and the earth walls were burned and cracked.

It looked like it was about to become unstoppable.

But at that moment, a golden light surged from the Sand Village Formation, and a huge golden wall suddenly appeared, blocking the sea of ​​fire!

Magnetic Escape · Alluvial Gold Wall!

The moment the sea of ​​fire crashed into the gold dust wall, it unleashed a deafening roar. Flames frantically licked the golden surface, but the gold dust rose and flowed at an astonishing speed, firmly blocking the sea of ​​fire in front of them.

A moment later, the flames finally went out, and the gold dust wall slowly dissipated.

On Mount Kikyo, Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, looking at Rasa's calm face in the Sunagakure headquarters.

Luo Sha!

This newly appointed Fourth Kazekage is indeed quite capable.

At the same moment!

"Spiritual communication!"

Tsunade pressed one palm to the ground, and chakra surged into her.

boom!

A cloud of white smoke exploded, and a giant slug appeared in the Konoha formation. It was soft all over and huge, completely different from Gamabunta's fierce battle-type summoning beast.

"Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade didn't say much, she just nodded. The slug's huge body trembled slightly, and then split apart.

Countless tiny slugs detached from its body and surged forward like a tide. They climbed over rocks and earthen walls, scaling each Konoha ninja standing at the forefront with astonishing speed.

One of the ninjas glanced down at the slippery little thing on his shoulder and couldn't help but grin: "With Lord Slug here, I feel much more at ease."

The little slug didn't respond; it simply lay quietly on his shoulder, its antennae swaying slightly.

Tsunade stood still, arms crossed, her gaze sweeping across the battlefield and landing on the small, thin figure opposite her.

Chiyo was looking at her too.

The two women's eyes met across the flames and smoke.

The next moment...

"kill!"

"Rush!"

The roars from both Sunagakure and Konoha rang out almost simultaneously. In front of Mount Kikyo, the black wave finally collided fiercely with Konoha's defenses!

Whoosh! Boom!

A barrage of shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags rained down on the enemy, and casualties had already occurred even before the ninjas on both sides had officially gotten close.

Meanwhile, deep within the Sand Village camp, an elite force remained motionless.

Yecang stood at the very front of the group, his orange eyes scanning the smoke and fighting on the battlefield, repeatedly taking in the figures of people in Konoha.

She had an even more important mission, a mission personally given to her by Kazekage Rasa and Elder Chiyo—to kill Higashino Shinichi!
