In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

The group consciously led Old Purple towards the Land of Fire.

Old Purple, enraged, temporarily lost a crucial role as a ninja.

Necessary vigilance.

When a ninja loses his vigilance, defeat is not far off.

Seizing the opportunity when Roshi's Lava Release armor was blown open, Hatake Sakumo teleported to the center of the battlefield, his White Fang short blade aimed at Roshi's left arm as he was forming hand seals.

Alarm bells rang in Lao Zi's mind, and he quickly adjusted his movements to dodge. White Fang was a short blade, and he could avoid damage by dodging it slightly. However, the next second, Hatake Sakumo's chakra on White Fang quickly unfolded, and the chakra-formed blade forcibly increased the length of White Fang!

puff!

Blood splattered, Old Purple's hand trembled, and the chakra energy within his body became disordered.

Having landed a successful blow, Hatake Sakumo retreated rapidly.

Isogen greatly agrees with Sakumo Hatake's actions.

The so-called ninja is actually an assassin. A qualified assassin should have the ability to escape thousands of miles away after a single strike, regardless of success or failure.

This isn't the era of the cuckolded cyborgs next door, where the strong are all tanky, sit-up champions, and ninjas are quite fragile.

Not every ninja can boost their health like him with Yang attribute. His modified Palm Healing Technique continuously restores health, and his 'Triple Rebirth' repairs his body, essentially turning his body into a stun gun.

Fifty Strings has a small ambition: to upgrade the firecracker into a nuclear bomb once the Yin-Yang attribute is further enhanced.

Hatake Sakumo landed a successful blow and then closed in on Fifty Strings.

With one hand missing, Lao Zi's combat power plummeted.

The importance of hands to a ninja cannot be overstated. Hand seals, whether formed with one hand, two feet, or even eyelids, are not something ordinary people can do. Although Roshi is powerful, he is still young, and hand seals are not a skill that an "ordinary ninja" of his age can master.

If he were to perfectly align with the Four-Tails in a later life, he would still possess overwhelming power, but he is still very young now.

His molten escape is weakening.

Lao Zi was already considering retiring.

Things developed in a way that far exceeded his expectations.

The kid in front of him was far stronger than he had imagined, and his methods were strange. There were also powerful enemies watching him closely. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to escape.

Given his status as a Jinchūriki, if the other party can capture him alive, they definitely will.

Although killing him would cause Iwagakure to lose one of its tailed beasts, Iwagakure still has one left. Moreover, tailed beasts can be resurrected after death. Now that Uzumaki Village has been destroyed, each clan has obtained a portion of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, making it much easier to seal tailed beasts and create Jinchuriki.

With the war recently ended and villages in dire need of rebuilding, Konoha will surely use him to demand benefits from Iwagakure.

The ninja's most important mission share will definitely be included.

Although he has a strained relationship with Onoki, Iwagakure is where he grew up, and he has ties to the village. Iwagakure is not as wealthy as Konoha to begin with, and it would be a shame if he caused everyone to suffer.

With a sharp look in his eyes, just as Old Purple was about to forcibly extract the tailed beast's chakra to break through the blockade, Isogen suddenly stretched out his arms and waved them sharply in front of him. A cloud of powder, obscuring the sky, rushed towards him, and the wind made it even harder for him to react.

I took a big breath without warning.

"Poison?! Despicable!"

Wu Zixian looked at him strangely: "Old man, are you getting dementia?"

Who are they?

A ninja, huh?

If ninjas don't use poison, are they supposed to just go head-to-head and kill samurai?

Although most ninjas would easily defeat samurai, you can't forget the ninja's original profession!

"No wonder the people in your village bully you. With a brain like yours, I'm going to bully you just as badly."

Old Zi's face darkened, but it was too late to break free of the restraints. The dust-raising range of Fifty Strings' move was so large that it enveloped him as well.

The powder he used was a sedative-hypnotic drug that he had carefully modified based on his current physical condition.

It causes muscle relaxation and weakness by inhibiting the central nervous system.

This was an extra-large version, and it was so effective that even Hiruzen Sarutobi praised it.

Yeah, the first person to try this thing was Naruto.

Cricket Naruto, tremble under the radiance of the Will of Conqueror!

Old Zi's eyes widened, and he bit his tongue hard, trying to forcefully extract his strength to take away Wu Shixian Yuge. Even he, as a Jinchūriki, didn't have the strength, and this brat had just absorbed it, so he definitely did now.

Boom!!

The fifty strings exploded.

The glint in Lao Zi's eyes faded.

So that's how you get through by refreshing your status and removing the effects of the drug!

He was truly powerless.

Regardless of psychological or external factors.

They were defeated by this crazy brat who had been bred in the ninja world for who knows how long.

Just admit it, damn it.

Fifty strings used the wind to send over several detonating tags.

Old Zi's muscles are weak, so he can only move his eyeballs.

That one glance made his eyes widen as if he had caught Onoki having sex with a wild woman.

Adding a sealing spell to an explosive tag—you're a genius!

Powerful sealing techniques are no less powerful than the Sharingan against tailed beasts. In particular, the Fifty Strings Sealing Technique comes from the orthodox Uzumaki teachings and is enhanced by strong Yin attribute, making it extremely valuable.

Sakumo Hatake and the others kept an eye on things from all sides, occasionally harassing the enemy, always ready to join the battle head-on. Then they saw the bizarre scene of Isogen standing while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki lay down.

Is he nine years old?

This thought flashed wildly through the minds of several Uchiha.

This is nine years old!

Sakumo Hatake's eyes flickered, and his expression was very serious. To the others, it seemed that he was thinking about the next steps.

however……

"Kids these days are really something else. I wonder how far Kakashi will go in the future. I don't expect him to be as strong as Isogen, but at least... hmm, I've decided, I'll add a few more courses to Kakashi's curriculum."

and also.

"Has this Jinchūriki really been captured? Should we test him with the Thousand Years of Death technique?"

At that moment, Kakashi, who was one year old, was lying in a warm baby bed when a sudden chill forced him to open his clear eyes and stare at the familiar ceiling for a long time without saying a word.

Old Zi's pert buttocks tightened.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

At this moment, within the realm of Fifty Strings' perception, a group of Root ninjas, all of whom were Special Jonin, were exchanging information with each other.

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki failed and was captured."

"The plan has exceeded expectations, what should we do now?"

"Reporting to my lord, awaiting instructions."

"The strength of Yu Ge of Fifty Strings exceeds our expectations. Shall we proceed with the plan?"

"...The task is beyond the team's capabilities. We suggest returning to the village and awaiting further instructions."

"agree."

"agree."

Seeing the Root ninja Isogen retreating in an orderly manner in his senses, he was not surprised at all.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the Root organization. People often think that even if they face an impossible mission, Root ninjas will do everything in their power to complete it.

However, this is incorrect.

Those who can enter the Root are all elite ninjas, and each one used is one less available. In particular, this team is very strong, and each of them knows a secret technique. If they are lost in a mission with no reward, Danzo will be furious.

As everyone knows, Danzo's outburst caused all the major and minor ninja clans in Konoha to follow suit, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi was bound to get angry.

This is the era of great anger following the era of great bullying.

Igarashi looked at the departing Root ninjas with a strange expression.

"Honestly, since you've come all this way, how could we not let you take something back with you?"
