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

We won't go into what the local specialties of the Land of Earth are for now.

At present, the handling of the situation in Kusagakure Village is more worthy of further study.

Kusagakure is, after all, a ninja village in the Land of Grass. Although it is weak, it has all the necessary merchants and commoners.

Furthermore, given their location at the border between the two countries, where they are always very agile, it is almost certain that they will head towards Iwagakure after suffering such a great loss.

So, under the watchful eyes of the people in Kusagakure who could make this decision, Ichigen gave the order to the Iwagakure ninja he had trained.

"Just so you know, if anyone from here shows up in the Land of Earth with a rosy complexion, you're doomed!"

The Iwagakure ninja nodded repeatedly.

The speed of his statement puzzled those present.

Even if three out of the four people from Konoha who appear here could instantly kill all of you, you don't need to be so afraid, right?

The young people in our village all dare to rebel!

If the Iwagakure ninja present heard this, they would only awaken their Byakugan.

Two years ago, they would have bravely charged the enemy.

Ignorance breeds fearlessness.

However, this courage had long since ceased in the past two years when Ichigen would occasionally go out and unleash his Conqueror's Haki in a wide-range manner.

They were ninjas from Iwagakure who patrolled the border and had witnessed a mountain that was originally located at the border between the two countries turn into a basin after Isogen left.

You expect us to deal with a monster like that?

Let's discuss how to assassinate the Third Hokage.

Ninjas are human too.

The idea that ninjas are emotionless, cold assassination tools is pure nonsense.

If ninjas were truly that powerful, then the major ninja villages should be like the Hidden Cloud Village, whose name is written as "ninja village" but is read as "gangster village," with very few rogue ninjas.

Even the Gold and Silver Brothers who launched the surprise attack when Konoha and Kumogakure signed the agreement were not essentially traitors. Although they killed the Second Raikage, their motivation was that they thought the Second Raikage was weak.

He betrayed his superiors, but not his village.

Therefore, they didn't see anything wrong with their attitude towards dealing with Yu Ge of the Fifty Strings... their obsequiousness. As long as the village didn't directly issue the attack order, their behavior was in accordance with everything.

"Next, I will present a portion of my research findings."

Ishigaki puffed out his chest, like a child showing off his new toy.

Of course, he was just a child.

"I named it Precision Targeted Detonation. As the name suggests, this technique involves targeting a specific group of people and detonating the explosives."

"The principle is also very simple: it is to further locate the relatives of the chakra owner by using the information contained in the chakra."

"You can also call it by another name: Oyako Donburi (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)!"

Upon hearing the explosion, everyone was uninterested and did not react.

Explosions, detonating tags—ninjas are all too familiar with those.

They heard that the information contained within the chakra was used to pinpoint relatives.

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

No, what did you say?

Before disbelief and fear could fully develop, the people of Kusagakure were mostly still confused.

However, the next second, they came to their senses.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Like popping the cork of a wine bottle, rhythmic popping sounds echoed throughout Kusagakure.

They were in the streets, rooms, basements, lawns, forests, rivers... everywhere people lived in Kusagakure.

Some people watched as the person standing next to them had a red glow in their stomach, and the next second the person exploded, leaving their abdominal cavity empty, like a wall being punched through during a new house renovation, allowing them to see across the wall through the hole.

"vomit!"

Unable to hold back any longer, Uzumaki Rinne covered her mouth and, accompanied by Hinata Mizuki, turned around and squatted down to begin her physiological reaction.

Orochimaru's feelings at this moment were complicated.

Even after years of continuous research, he remains a model young man of Konoha, deeply influenced by the Will of Fire.

Although we experienced brutal war, most of the people killed were still in normal condition; after seeing so many abnormal things, we became normal ourselves.

But like this, forcibly extracting flesh and blood, then locking in kinship through chakra attributes, and then using the theory of multiplicative explosive tags combined with one's own methods to complete a serious internal and external surgery from the inside out.

Just from this series of actions, he knew what knowledge was needed.

Sealing techniques, the use of explosive tags, complex medical skills, and a solid foundation in Yin-Yang Escape.

No, is this how you're supposed to use all these things together?

Seeing the bright red, festive version of the straw doll from Kusagakure Village already causing them physical pain, and then witnessing their relatives being agonizingly destroyed in this way with eyes wide with horror, was unbearable.

Orochimaru's eyelid twitched.

Although he currently has no biological parents, this method might allow him to find other living relatives.

Most importantly, he has frequently conducted experiments with Wu Zixian over the past two years. Of course, occasionally some blood tissue or similar substances are needed for the experiments...

In any case, Hatake Sakumo has made up his mind that unless there is absolutely no other way, he must never leave any bodily tissues that can connect with relatives outside.

The elders of the Grass Flower have become numb.

The cries, pleas, and shouts of the villagers behind us could no longer be heard.

She was even relieved that the people who were dealt with were not related to her.

In their eyes, Gyūgen was no longer a promising young genius.

That guy is a complete lunatic!

There are countless ninja techniques in the ninja world, half of which are strange and unusual.

But who could, who could develop such an extremely perverted ninjutsu!

This move was clearly aimed at wiping out the entire enemy clan! What a joke this is! How could such a monster be born in the ninja world?! Sage of Six Paths, what the hell are you doing?!

"Gen-kun, your technique..." Sakumo Hatake opened his mouth, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Ah, this... actually, Orochimaru-san deserves some credit too. All those years of experiments haven't been in vain." Igarashi gave Orochimaru a thumbs up.

Orochimaru grinned.

Although I don't know where Ishigaki got the inspiration, this bizarre technique owes a debt to me... tsk, it feels a bit like the underworld.

Orochimaru, who usually plays with snakes and hangs out in the lab, has noticed that Igarashi's mental state is not right.

Igarashi smiled and explained, "Actually, 'Oyako Donburi' does have its drawbacks. The current version can only target relatives, not the person themselves, and anyone with strong Yang Release abilities can detect it and suppress them. However, the effect is still quite powerful, and if nothing unexpected happens, it can eliminate all immediate family members."

At this point, he couldn't help but feel regretful: "If Kushina had come too, that would have been great. This is the first time I've officially used this technique. It's related to a lot of medical knowledge, and it would definitely be of great help to her medical skills."

"Why did she suddenly decide to become a doctor?"

Fifty strings of doubt.

He clearly remembered that Kushina's dream was to become Konoha's first female Hokage.

I'm also thinking of trying to squeeze Tsunade down and send her up.

After all, he may not become Hokage, but he can be the man behind the Fifth Hokage.

The two adult Konoha ninjas' lips twitched.

Looking at Yu Ge, who had absolutely no self-awareness, he mentally ranted.

Who do you think Kushina worked so hard to learn medicine for?!
