Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Chapter 80: Famous Throughout the Ninja World, Onoki: I Admit There Was an Entire Element of Gambling

The Hidden Mist ninjas came in full force, but fled in a sorry state.

The Konoha ninjas on Ghost Island erupted in cheers.

"They run pretty fast."

Qingye felt a little disappointed.

The thunderclouds in the sky had not yet begun to condense into a large scale, the steam barrier had not yet closed, and the hydrogen level had not yet reached the threshold.

Unfortunately, with the Third Mizukage having died in battle, Yagura Karatachi became more vigilant and immediately retreated upon noticing something amiss.

For the next period of time, the Hidden Mist made no move.

Qingye was happy to have some peace and quiet and had no intention of actively seeking trouble with Wuyin.

Jiro Island.

After Yagura returned, he gave orders to everyone to help analyze the principles behind the previous ninjutsu. However, more than ten days passed without any results.

Nobody can understand it at all.

Then a junior from Kirigakure who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy came to report that he seemed to have guessed the principle behind that ninjutsu.

"—What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"

Yagura was completely stunned after hearing this.

Electrolysis of seawater?

Hydrogen explosion?

Now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense!

No wonder so many of them couldn't figure out the principle; they were just thinking the wrong way!

Why do places struck by lightning suddenly catch fire? Because the lightning ignites the hydrogen gas produced by the electrolysis of water!

Combined with the steam barrier that seemed poised to envelop them from behind—

Yagura felt he had a pretty good idea of ​​how the Third Mizukage had died.

Electrolysis of water, hydrogen explosion, water vapor accumulation after the explosion forming cumulonimbus clouds, further attracting lightning to electrolyze water —

Even now that he understands the principles of this ninjutsu, he finds it difficult to break through this combo. Back then, the Third Mizukage was so confused that he probably didn't even realize what was happening before he was blown up!

"Is there any way to break this ninjutsu?"

Yagura asked the ANBU member beside him.

"Well----"

The secret service hesitated for a long time before asking, "Should we disperse the rain clouds?"

"How do we break it up?"

Yagura asked rhetorically.

At the height of the clouds, what kind of ninjutsu could reach them?

Ordinary ninjutsu could never reach this range, unless it's a Tailed Beast Ball!

The thought of the Tailed Beast Ball reminded Yagura of the Three-Tails, which had been lost due to the Third Mizukage's failed plan, and he felt a wave of distress.

What kind of mess is this?!

Kirigakure really suffered a huge loss in this war!

"Yakura-sama!"

Suddenly, a member of the ANBU arrived to report: "News has come from the village. The Hozuki clan chief and the Kaguya clan chief have sent a joint letter saying that they have discovered a mysterious person who is secretly using genjutsu to control the Third Mizukage, but unfortunately they were unable to capture him."

"—Wait, what did you say?"

Yagura's mind went blank for a moment.

"It means that the Third Mizukage was controlled by an illusion."

The secret service repeated it again, then emphasized: "Furthermore, this letter was sent through Elder Yuanshi's channels."

"Elder Yuan Shi————"

Yagura's eyes sharpened.

Does this mean that Elder Yuan Shi agreed with the two men's judgment?

Was the Third Mizukage controlled by genjutsu before?

boom!

A vast aura of chakra erupted!

The entire tent was like a storm, with documents flying everywhere. Several secret agents trembled with fear, not daring to even breathe.

"Have you found out who that bastard is?"

Yagura's face was filled with coldness, and the veins on his forehead throbbed wildly.

That's it!

No wonder the Third Mizukage became so autocratic before!

There's also the plan to implant the Three-Tails and guide it into a rampage. The formulation of such a high-risk plan is clearly the work of someone secretly plotting behind the scenes!

"Their identity is unknown, but it's confirmed they're from the Uchiha clan. That person displayed Susanoo during the battle!"

The secret service member reported with his head down.

"Susanoo—Uchiha, Konoha!"

Thinking of the mysterious person whose identity was unknown, and recalling Uchiha Aoya from before, Yagura Karatachi felt a surge of annoyance: "The Uchiha clan is such a nuisance!"

"However, should we announce this? It seems a bit embarrassing—but if we do announce it, it will make other villages wary of Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

"So, you're saying that Uchiha Aoya secretly controlled the Third Mizukage?"

"Wait, this doesn't seem to make sense—"

Yagura, the tachibana manga, fell into deep thought.

Konoha Village.

root base.

"He killed the Third Mizukage and easily forced Yagura Karatachi to retreat—"

As Shimura Danzo looked at the intelligence that had just been sent back from the Hidden Mist battlefield, his mind went blank for a moment.

-

Is Uchiha Aoya some kind of genius?

How old is he?

If he can kill the Mizukage now, won't he be able to ascend to heaven in a few years?

Will Shimura Danzo still have a place to stand in Konoha then?

"According to intelligence from the front lines, Uchiha Aoya also demonstrated Susanoo in his battle against the Third Mizukage," Aburame Ryoma added.

"I have already mastered Susanoo —"

Danzo Shimura had another headache.

His initial plan was to promote Uchiha Aoya's reputation, to flatter him to death, and to make him expend more of his Mangekyou Sharingan's power on the battlefield.

But judging from the results, it seems that this guy didn't use the power of the kaleidoscope much at all!

He still doesn't know what kind of eye technique Uchiha Aoya has awakened!

Even Susanoo only appeared once, in the battle against the Third Mizukage.

"Lord Danzo, what should we do next? Should we continue to praise him to the point of ruin?"

"Stop!"

Danzo quickly called for a halt.

Is this a case of "praise to death"?

Once news of what happened on the battlefield in Kirigakure spreads throughout the village, Uchiha Aoya's reputation will probably rival that of Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze!

If they keep praising him like this, that guy Uchiha Aoya might even be able to run for Hokage!

This was the first time he had ever encountered an Uchiha who gave him such a headache!

Danzo remained silent for a long time before speaking thoughtfully, "Ryuma, do you think it's possible to create a rift between Uchiha Aoya and Namikaze Minato?"

According to intelligence from the front lines, the two seem to have a very good relationship.

This is not a good sign!

If Minato Namikaze were to succeed the Fourth Hokage, and then Aoya Uchiha were to reach a certain age in a few years, he would likely take away Minato's position as Hokage's assistant.

He was completely out of the picture in Konoha!

"Disaster!"

Ryoma Aburame shook his head directly: "I know Minato Namikaze very well. It's almost impossible for him to have any disagreements with his comrades."

"well----"

Danzo sighed deeply.

Orochimaru, Orochimaru, I hope you can live up to expectations and not let that junior Minato Namikaze steal the Hokage position.

Hidden Rock Village.

"Uchiha Aoya————"

Onoki's expression shifted between light and dark: "He's the one who defeated Yotsuchi and took him away, and now he's even defeated the Third Mizukage!"

-

The Uchiha clan is such a hassle!

Recalling some unpleasant memories, Onoki's expression darkened further.

He was humiliated by Madara Uchiha back then, and now his son has been defeated by another Uchiha. They are both still imprisoned in Konoha's jail!

"Because of the issues of Lord Huangtu's ransom and war reparations, we have not been able to reach an agreement with Weiye on a peace treaty."

The Anbu then delivered another intelligence report: "The Third Raikage of Kumogakure is making moves again. He's been moving supplies to the border recently, and they might be planning to invade our Land of Earth."

"Those barbarians from Kumogakure only know how to take advantage of others' misfortunes!" Onoki was both angry and worried.

Konoha, Uchiha, Kumogakure —

A series of information collided in his mind, and Onoki's brows suddenly relaxed, his eyes lit up, but he hesitated.

"Although Konoha suffered considerable losses in this war, they have too many top-tier fighters. I'm afraid they'll have to add another Uchiha Aoya to the mix later."

As he spoke, Onoki nodded, "I have an idea that might require a gamble—speaking of which, that old bastard Sarutobi's attitude is getting softer and softer these days."

Through the peace negotiations with Konoha over this period of time, he has become increasingly certain of this!

A Hokage whose attitude is gradually weakening, and an Uchiha whose sharp edge is fully revealed!

Is it possible to let a conflict break out between these two?

The Anbu members were puzzled: "What does Lord Tsuchikage mean?"

"Let's delay the peace talks with Konoha a little longer. We can't back down on the ransom issue for Huangtu yet." After hesitating for a long time, Onoki finally made up his mind.

"And what about Lord Huangtu?"

Sweat was practically pouring down under the mask of the operative.

Lord Loess is your own son!

Aren't you afraid that Konoha might be so ruthless as to simply refuse to negotiate peace and send Lord Huangtu directly to the gold exchange to cash out?

"I admit there was an element of gambling involved!"

Onoki's attitude gradually hardened: "However, if it can truly ignite conflict between Uchiha Aoya and Sarutobi Hiruzen—it's worth the gamble!"

Just then, the door to the Tsuchikage's office was pounded on repeatedly.

Before the secret agents could even open the door to verify their identities, the people outside pushed the door open and barged in.

"Old man, what's the principle behind that infinite explosion ninjutsu that summons lightning? It's so cool, I want to learn it!" A little blond boy who looked about two or three years old ran in excitedly.
