Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 167 "Who exactly are you?...

On October 10th, a vortex suddenly appeared in the dense forest on the east side of Konoha Village. After landing, Obito Uchiha released a male puppet with a ponytail.

"This is Orochimaru's laboratory. White Zetsu is sure he's still here. Do you need my help?"

Obito realized that Nagato might have discovered his deal with Orochimaru, and quietly offered to participate in the operation.

The ponytail-wearing puppet didn't respond, but immediately bent down: "Summoning technique!"

A man with long, center-parted hair appeared next. Both men wore black rods on their faces and possessed the Rinnegan. They looked at Obito together and said one by one, "I can solve this myself."

"I will be responsible for the information within Orochimaru's body."

As the Animal Path used the summoning technique again, an invisible lizard summoning beast appeared, and the Human Path immediately jumped onto its head. Soon, the two people and the beast disappeared.

Obito frowned slightly behind the mask. Nagato's growth rate had exceeded his expectations, but when he thought of the power he had mastered, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Obito turned to look out of the village, subconsciously rubbing his short hair. The White Zetsu he was possessing asked gossipily, "Why did you cut your hair? Madara-sama always had long hair!"

"We just wanted to confirm a few things. White Zetsu has roughly confirmed the location, so it's time for us to take action."

Obito vanished in a vortex, thinking about what would happen tonight, and sighed in his heart: "Rin, Kakashi, even if it's an imposter, I hope you can survive."

"Minato-sensei, if we meet again, will you recognize me?"

Late at night, Orochimaru left the laboratory early. Although Tsunade didn't tell him what had happened in the village recently, he guessed from the movements of the Anbu that it was related to Jinchuriki.

With his old friend so supportive, Orochimaru didn't mind the hard work of keeping watch at night.

The Perception Team updated the barrier, and the Anbu also made adjustments. Even those who knew Konoha in the past could not infiltrate silently at this time.

As for the white creatures in the village who posed little threat, Orochimaru had estimated their attack power. They were good at gathering intelligence, but in a direct confrontation, he could eliminate them all by himself.

Even if it were the Wood Release technique they had seen before, with his current mastery of Sage Chakra, and with the help of Osamu Furukawa and the Anbu ninjas, they could easily handle it.

While Orochimaru was still pondering how to realize the "power of all things in the universe" from the scriptures, he suddenly twisted his body instinctively, but was still wrapped around the waist by something unseen.

"As expected of Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, he actually noticed it."

When the Human Path appeared, it was frantically pulling at the soul within Orochimaru's body, while the Animal Path stared expressionlessly at its dying enemy, whispering once more, "Feel despair, die now!"

Orochimaru, caught off guard, was speechless. His soul was being torn apart, and his memories seemed to be being read by the attacker.

Just as the Human Path was about to pull out all the souls, Orochimaru's body suddenly shattered, and a huge white phosphorus snake glared at the two of them before swiftly attacking.

"boom!"

A loud bang shattered the quiet night. Nagato, who was controlling the puppet outside the village, changed his expression and then channeled all his chakra, allowing the Animal Path to quickly complete the summoning jutsu.

Hanzo Tendou flew straight into the sky, while Shura Path quickly lowered its head. After its skull unfolded, the laser weapon began to charge up, and then with a bang, the beam exploded on the body of the white phosphorus serpent.

"hateful!"

Orochimaru let out a painful growl, but as he used the Animal Path's summoning technique again, the two-headed hellhound immediately pounced on the serpent, while the Asura Path's guided bombs were continuously fired from his wrist.

The Human Path once again tugged at the soul of the White Phosphorus Serpent, causing Orochimaru to collapse on the spot. After groaning in pain, his body exploded again.

"boom!"

The explosion was louder than the last one. At this moment, Konoha Village was fully awakened. Several puppets looked at the bloodied and lifeless white phosphorus serpent and confirmed its death. The Animal Path was summoned again.

A giant bird with a huge beak appeared in the air, and the puppets jumped onto its head. Then, the giant bird flapped its wings and flew straight towards the center of the village.

What the puppets didn't notice was that a small white snake, after confirming it was safe, immediately twisted its body and quickly fled.

After the first loud bang, eight ANBU squads appeared on the roof of the Hokage Building in front of Furukawa Osamu.

Before anyone could report, Furukawa Osamu used a summoning jutsu, and a gigantic slug taller than a house immediately appeared: "Use your clones to protect everyone's lives. There's no need to waste chakra on healing. I'll end the turmoil soon."

"Yes, Lord Xiu!"

As the giant slug split apart, the Anbu members issued another clear order: "It's probably too late. There's no need to engage the enemy. Instruct the mobile Jonin squads to move the wounded to the Kage Rock shelter."

"Lord Xiu, what exactly happened?"

A member of the Uchiha clan hurriedly asked a question, but before he could finish speaking, the slug had already enveloped him and the other Anbu members, and a soft, sweet voice followed: "There are enemies invading at the top of the village, and they seem to be preparing to unleash a powerful ninjutsu."

"The enemy is very fast. I will protect you. Be careful to use your chakra to protect yourselves and try to avoid getting hurt."

"Lord Xiu will deal with the intruders soon."

Just as the members of the Dark Guard were about to respond, a second loud bang occurred, followed by an indescribable sense of fear that suddenly welled up from the bottom of their hearts.

The Hanzo puppet, now fully charged, stood atop the village with its hands raised high. Sensing someone looking at it, Nagato, who controlled the puppet from behind, grinned gleefully: "Quickly, but you're still going to die here!"

"Shinra Tensei!!"

With Nagato's chakra unleashed at full power, cracks even appeared in some parts of Hanzo's puppet body, and the entire body swelled and twisted slightly, followed by a violent repulsive force.

"boom!!"

A huge wave of earth suddenly surged up below Hanzo, rushing rapidly around his body.

The Konoha ninjas and villagers, still asleep, had no idea what was happening when they were enveloped by the live slug. They instinctively screamed and, along with the shattered houses, were swept toward the edge of the village.

Under the pitch-black night, a huge circular crater appeared in the center of Konoha Village. Hanzo puppet slowly landed, looked at the houses he had destroyed, and listened to the painful howls. Then he began to laugh madly.

"Let's feel the pain together! Let's die in despair!"

In the distant ruins, many Jonin painfully crawled out of the bodies of living slugs. Many people saw that the newborn children had survived and wept bitterly on the spot.

The protected ANBU squad had no time to explain anything. With the help of the sensory ninja, they hurriedly rescued the members of the Yamanaka clan.

Yamanaka Inoichi knelt amidst the ruins, cradling his newborn daughter in his arms. As the Anbu members appeared, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, managed to straighten himself, and whispered, "Was it Lord Shu who protected everyone?"

"There's no time to explain. Contact the Jonin squad members and evacuate the wounded..."

As the Sensory Team began connecting with the Jonin in the village, the Konoha ninja began to take action.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan members, far from the center of the village, were also moving at a faster pace. When Fugaku Uchiha saw the ruins before him, he froze in place, and his clansmen behind him shouted, "What on earth happened?"

"It's Lord Xiu's live slug. Has everyone been protected?"

"Speed ​​up! We must provide support as soon as possible..."

The ninjas living in remote areas began to gather at the ruins, while the giant bird flew towards the crater. Mission accomplished, it was time to evacuate quickly.

"Intruders are overhead!"

The Hyuga clan ninja spotted the enemy's movements and immediately shouted a warning. Soon, the lively slug's voice rang out beside them: "Don't worry, Master Shu has already locked onto the target."

In order to continue reaping lives and make the Konoha ninja feel despair, the modified Asura Path jumped into the ruins, twisted its wrist, and pulled the mechanism on its chest, and the small tracking missiles began to "shape the ground".

The five puppets activated their mechanisms, unleashing the powerful advanced weapon systems that fired small missiles and lasers indiscriminately, causing the newly assembled ninja force to scream in agony once more.

Many Konoha ninjas were rendered incapacitated by the blasts. Although the enemy's attacks were not fatal, there were simply too many of them!

Nara Shikaku, his face covered in blood, had already realized the enemy's intention: to restrict their movements, buy time, and then unleash that terrifying ninjutsu to kill everyone completely.

"Stop arguing! Take the wounded to Shadow Rock immediately!"

"Ahem, there's no time..."

Just as everyone was preparing to fight to the death to buy time for their comrades, the five puppets suddenly began to accelerate their retreat. Soon after, cheers came from behind: "It's Lord Xiu!"

"It's Lord Xiu's shadow clone..."

The dark squad following behind stopped and began directing the transport operation. Furukawa Osamu's clones carefully observed and recorded the changes, finding that the modified puppets were stronger than he had anticipated.

Even a large-scale attack that creates chaos is still quite powerful. Furukawa Osamu began to wonder which world Nagato had summoned such an advanced weapon from.

As Furukawa Osamu's five shadow clones began to track the enemy, the Konoha ninja, who had finally come to their senses, suddenly erupted in a huge shout.

As more and more comrades arrived to provide support from afar, some of the Konoha ninjas who had sustained minor injuries shouted, "Follow Master Xiu!"

While in CD mode, Hanzo had already sensed something was wrong. In his perception, a large group of Konoha ninjas were charging towards him, and the enemy was already close to the edge of the giant crater.

Before he could figure out where the problem was, just as Tendou Hanzo was about to jump onto the giant bird, a hissing sound rang out.

The gleaming black blade pierced the giant bird's body, followed by arcs of electricity. The giant bird let out a mournful cry and vanished on the spot. Tendou Hanzo fell back to the ground, and Nagato, who was controlling the puppet, quickly sensed something was wrong: "The connection is weakening?!"

As more and more Konoha ninjas gathered around, Tendo Hanzo realized that there was a huge problem with the black arcs of electricity; the chakra seemed to be devouring his power.

"Spiritual communication!"

Animal Path hurriedly summoned the two-headed hellhound, but it was too late to retreat; the Konoha ninjas reacted too quickly.

Kunai, shuriken, various ninja tools, and explosive tags were all thrown at the enemy by the Jonin and Chunin who arrived first. Everyone was extremely familiar with and tacitly agreed to this task, and no one acted rashly and attacked at close range.

Amidst the explosion, the summoned two-headed dog howled in agony. Seeing his puppet about to be damaged, Deva Hanzo unleashed his chakra once more: "Shinra Tensei!"

"what!"

The Konoha ninjas in the distance screamed and were sent flying. The puppet that was controlling Hanzo suddenly found a figure in front of him. Just as he was about to block, the puppet's right chest was pierced through on the spot.

"Xiu Da succeeded!"

Under the pitch-black night, the Konoha ninjas who rushed over from afar could vaguely see, by the light of their torches, that Furukawa Osamu's right arm had been pulled out of the enemy's chest, and the cry of Chidori greatly boosted the morale of the archers.

"Cover Xiu Da!"

Fireballs, water bullets, electric arcs, spikes, and various ninja tools flew towards the puppets and summoned beasts. Only then did Nagashika, who was manipulating multiple devices, realize the truly terrifying power of the five great ninja villages.

The first attack failed to kill the enemy, and now it's too late to retreat.

The two-headed hellhound began to split, and the Hungry Ghost Path blocked its way to absorb the ninjutsu, only to be blown to the ground by numerous explosive tags.

Just as Hell Path was about to revive the damaged Heavenly Path puppet, a curious voice suddenly came from beside him: "Amazing ninjutsu! Is this an application of Yin-Yang Release to create a being, or another wondrous manifestation of Summoning Technique?"

The puppet in Hell Path was somewhat dazed. Although Furukawa Osamu's appearance had changed, one could still see the shadow of the cold-faced but warm-hearted boy from back then.

"I can definitely see that guy. Your clones have all been subdued, leaving only some summoned beasts. My companions need some involvement."

"Can you tell me how you use this type of ninjutsu?"

"Where do the weapons and creatures summoned by the Rinnegan come from? Can you be summoned back in time?"

Furukawa Shuujin was extremely curious, and his tone was exceptionally sincere. His puppet, seemingly out of instinct, took a step back, and with a hint of fear, Kirio questioned, "Who exactly are you?"

"Why do you know my ninjutsu?"

"Didn't we meet a long time ago? Those ration pills should have helped you by now."

As Furukawa Osamu spoke softly, he transformed the Sage Chakra nature within the Hundred Healings Seal. Noticing that the Heavenly Path Puppet was still struggling, he moved his mind, and the broken pieces on the ground immediately transformed into tentacles.

Hell Path wielded a black rod and thrust forward, increasing his chakra output. However, no matter how he moved nimbly and used tricky angles to attack, Furukawa Osamu could easily dodge.

More and more Konoha ninjas are arriving as reinforcements arrive. Fortunately, aside from dealing with the splitting dogs, the giant centipede has been contained by the Nara clan ninjas using shadows.

When the Konoha ninjas who arrived saw Furukawa Osamu casually shatter the enemy's bow and arrow with a single palm strike, unleashing a surge of black lightning, they immediately shouted excitedly, "Lord Osamu has killed the enemy!"

"Ah! Cover Xiu Dagong and deal with those damned spirit beasts!"

Chang was still trying to sense the Asura Path, but Furukawa had already set his sights on those weapons, and his living clone and shadow clone had long since devoured the porcelain puppet.

Nagato, whose "human path" was "injured," was forced to abandon the life-giving chakra that was constantly eroding him and began to focus on the animal path.

With the buildings destroyed, the large-scale Earth Release ninjutsu played a crucial role. Although the dog kept splitting, once trapped, it could only engage in a fierce battle.

"Spiritual communication!"

When Osamu Furukawa summoned the Blue Serpent, which was smaller than the Konge Serpent, more and more Konoha ninja cheered.

Just as Chang was about to continue summoning the Hell Path puppet he was controlling, a wave of venom swept over them.

Barely managing to dodge, just as Hell Path was about to move again, Zi discovered that the puppet's feet had been industrialized; the moment it exerted force, they shattered on the spot...

"Qingqing, bite it! Use your magical venom!"

Osamu Furukawa stood on the snake's head and gave instructions. The green snake, seeing the dog's ferocious appearance, complained but still moved quickly: "I'm a beautiful snake girl..."

With the aid of Sage Art and the resonance of the spirit body, the Green Snake learned extremely quickly. Amidst the excited shouts of the Konoha ninja, it first coiled around one of its clones and then bit down on another attacking dog.

As the venom was injected, the split dog immediately underwent significant chemical transformation, standing motionless in place.

Under the relentless attacks and bites of the green snake, the poisoned dog stopped splitting, and black lightning crackled around its body, rendering it completely immobile on the ground.

Chang realized the puppet's escape had failed, and felt a pang of guilt. His multi-tasking skills were still lacking; he had wasted Xiao Nan's efforts. Just as he was about to make his own move, he suddenly heard Furukawa Osamu's voice again: "I'll accept these weapons!"

The puppet was only barely connected to him, and after struggling to sense it without success, he immediately roared, "Who are you? Why are you interfering with me?!"

"We'll meet again in a few years. I hope you'll make the right choice then and continue the killing!"

After hearing what Furukawa Osamu said, Nagato could no longer sense the puppet. Realizing that the other party might have sensed him, he immediately told Black Zetsu to retreat quickly.

"It's only as long as a large bow, and the situation is like a gathering?"

"We've succeeded halfway; at least we've destroyed that wicked village."

The summoning technique was used to recover from the damage, and under the cover of night, many Konoha ninjas cried out in despair once again; the attack by the Shiki-gen was too terrifying.

"Master Xiu!"

"Xiu Dagong led us to victory against the enemy archers once again..."

"7

"Is Naruto alright? What exactly happened?"

Most of the Konoha ninjas were injured, and when they looked at the five enemy figures crackling with black lightning, they were all confused. These guys didn't look like normal archers at all.

The green snake then pushed its giant snake head next to Furukawa Osamu, looking at the Konoha ninjas who were crying and shouting, and tilted its head in confusion: "It was clearly Osamu who defeated these strange guys..."

After calming down the agitated Kirio, Furukawa Osamu, as the Anbu members came to him again, he instructed once more: "Continue the evacuation. The crisis is probably not over yet. Get everyone into the evacuation shelter as soon as possible."

"Don't panic. A house can be rebuilt. Seize the time to act."

"The Hokage has a confidential mission. Suzaku's crisis is temporarily resolved. The senior members of the Jonin class can now travel with the Anbu."

"Yes, Xiu-da!"

The ANBU ninjas responded quickly, temporarily relinquishing command and guiding the Jonin to form teams to help the ninjas evacuate from the ruins.

When Furukawa Osamu disappeared again and reappeared on the Shadow Rock, overlooking the entire village, all the buildings in the central area had vanished. Under the pitch-black night, the spies probably didn't know the exact number of Konoha ninja casualties.

"If we repair the Great Bow, will war break out again?"

The slug that had scared the green snake away reappeared on his shoulder and asked softly. Furukawa Osamu nodded slightly and said softly, "Under such circumstances, you don't believe we protected most of the Konoha ninja."

"If word gets out, Iwagakure and Kumogakure will definitely not let such an opportunity pass them by."

"If the Nine-Tails appears as scheduled, the Hidden Cloud Village might start the war within a week."

The slug flicked its antennae, its tone becoming lighter: "It seems Xiu Da's spiritual body is about to undergo another upgrade!"

"Perhaps after the level is improved, there will be a chance to start compressing Sage Chakra like the original body. Once the level is improved, there will be no need to worry about being affected when training together."

"Even if they reproduce and form a race, they can still be controlled by Xiu Da Gong!"

Upon hearing the previous words, Furukawa Osamu smiled slightly, but then his lips twitched as he looked at the slug on his shoulder and said helplessly, "I like it when I hold back my power, but as long as the opponent is sharp enough, the war won't last long."

"Ahem, spiritual cultivation techniques probably can't reach the level of your physical body's cultivation techniques. You should cultivate slowly. I'm only 14 years old, I have plenty of time."

The slug wriggled its body and quickly turned into a puddle of liquid, silently entering a state of resonance. She still had a long life ahead of her and enough patience to wait for her kind to suffer.

Members of the Anbu would occasionally come to Furukawa Osamu to report on their progress. Below the Shadow Rock, the villagers and ninjas, still in a state of confusion, entered the shelter with bewildered expressions.

When Uchiha Fugaku and Shikata Hiashi arrived in front of Furukawa Osamu, both of their faces were covered in dirt, and a huge cloud of dust was still spreading.

"Kong Xing, the number of ninja casualties counted is less than 100, and many of them died in the second attack."

"Xiu, what should we do if my throat is sore? Do we need to treat it like a Naruto?"

The Shiko clan was responsible for tallying the casualties, while the Uchiha clan continued to be responsible for guard duties. After explaining in a low voice, Yili stood there with a puzzled look on his face; the force that attacked them was too exaggerated.

If the same attack were to occur again, Shadow Rock might be destroyed. Fortunately, the enemy has already been killed.

"The two clan chiefs and the elders of each clan can take care of the work that follows."

"Once the group is settled, I will go to provide support immediately. Remember to let everyone stay until dawn. I promised the teacher that I would protect the villagers."

Furukawa carefully sensed it and found that the familiar chakra fluctuations had not disappeared. With his support, the well-prepared slug successfully completed its mission.

"Xiu, who attacked us? Did you discover anything during your fight with the enemy?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked in a low voice, but Shikata Shitari suddenly turned his head and shouted with a look of horror, "A massive amount of chakra is converging, it's too late!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Furukawa Osamu vanished, reappearing on the ruins. Facing the purplish-black Tailed Beast Ball hurtling towards him, he calmly formed hand seals: "Flying Thunder God Guided Lightning."

The 10,000 people attached to Yingyan screamed in terror, and Hengyouwan felt the aura of destruction.

It wasn't until the Tailed Beast Ball was swallowed up by the suddenly appearing runes that some of the Konoha ninja came to their senses. When they saw that familiar figure, they cheered again, "It's Xiu-da!"

"The repair of the great bow saved the village again!"

"Don't be afraid, Hengyou, move faster, don't become a burden to Xiuda..."
