Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

[Next, let's talk about Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).]

Just how strong are the combatants of Iwagakure?

In the established lore, Iwagakure's military strength is on par with Kumogakure's, but economically, it lags far behind.

Onoki floated in mid-air, snorted coldly, and put his hands behind his back.

"Their economy is worse than Yunyin's? What can those barbarians do besides rob?"

Huang Tu scratched his head and replied in a muffled voice.

"Father, our village is indeed poor."

Onoki slapped Huangtu on the back of the head.

"Shut up! Don't I have any dignity?!"

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

The reason is actually quite simple.

[Iwagakure's geographical location, bordering Konoha and Sunagakure, destined it to be in a state of constant war.]

Years of warfare have naturally hampered economic development.

Ohnoki looked at the sky and sighed deeply.

"What can I do?"

"Konoha occupies the most fertile central area of ​​the ninja world. Our Iwagakure is surrounded by barren, rocky mountains. If we don't fight our way out, what will the people in the village eat?"

Heitu leaned closer and tilted his head to ask.

"Then why do we always focus on attacking Konoha? Aren't there Sunagakure nearby?"

Onoki glanced at her sideways and retorted irritably, feeling that his granddaughter was a bit too naive.

"Attack the Sand Village? You want to attack it? The Sand Village is so poor that even vegetables are a rare treat! What's the use of conquering it? To steal the sand and build houses!"

The text on the sky changes.

The village of Iwagakure is surrounded by towering, rocky mountains.

This natural barrier made it extremely difficult for the enemy to penetrate its interior, making it a truly impregnable fortress.

However, this very difficulty makes diplomacy and trade in Iwagakure relatively challenging, further limiting its economic development.

However, as a major power that primarily rivaled Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure certainly had the right to be arrogant at the time.

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Jiraiya leaned against the windowsill, seemingly lost in memories.

"In that battle, the Iwagakure's Earth Release ninjas were overwhelming, and the battle lines were stretched too long. Konoha was almost dragged down."

The celestial display lights up.

[The Tsuchikage, the strongest fighter in the village.]

[The power of Onoki's Dust Release is undoubtedly the strongest ninjutsu attack.]

Furthermore, during the great battle, Ōnoki was able to fly through the air using the Light-Heavy Rock Technique.

Find an absolutely safe location and unleash Dust Escape from a high vantage point.

This is essentially a freely movable, flying, long-range artillery turret.

[Both its damage and attack scale are among the best in the ninja world.]

The scene cuts in.

Above the battlefield, Onoki floated in the clouds.

With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, a semi-transparent cubic barrier instantly took shape.

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

The barrier suddenly expanded, enveloping hundreds of enemy soldiers below along with the ground.

A flash of white light, and everything within the barrier vanished instantly, leaving only a bottomless, enormous crater.

[Dust Release is a bloodline limit technique invented by the Second Tsuchikage, Mu.]

[It transcends bloodline limits, fusing the transformations of wind, fire, and earth chakra natures.]

Because it can completely break down objects into molecular states, it is difficult to defend against using conventional ninjutsu or equipment.

[When facing Dust Escape, there's basically only one option: dodge. There's practically no other way.]

Konoha Village, training ground.

Naruto opened his mouth wide and gestured with his hand to form a large square.

"Break things down into molecules? That's like losing everything! That's so unfair!"

Sasuke stared intently at the sky with burning eyes.

Bloodline elimination.

The three chakra properties are fused together.

He wanted that power!

Kakashi stepped forward, patted Sasuke on the shoulder, and ruthlessly shattered Sasuke's fantasy.

"Don't even think about it. Bloodline Limits can't be copied. Besides, your chakra nature simply can't learn that."

The text on the screen changed again, revealing new and significant information.

[Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that the two Jinchūriki of Iwagakure are in a controllable state.]

The entire ninja world fell silent for a moment.

Then, the comment section started refreshing rapidly.

[Fourth Raikage A: Controllable?! Onoki, Iwagakure actually managed to do this?!]

[Luo Sha: The old man's been hiding his true intentions quite well.]

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki frowned. In fact, Old Purple had already left long ago. This revelation from Tenmu was also a way to give other villages an information gap.

The text on the sky continues.

[Roshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, not only attempted to communicate with the tailed beast within him.]

[He also used the Four-Tails' chakra to master the Lava Release ninjutsu.]

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, also possesses Boil Release and a unique steam armor.

[With the help of steam, his explosive power in physical combat reached an extremely terrifying level.]

They can even transform into tailed beasts and launch tailed beast balls directly.

[The strategic value of the Tailed Beasts as ultimate weapons has truly been realized.]

Controllable tailed beasts are far more strategically significant than those that can go berserk at any moment and indiscriminately attack friend or foe.

In addition, Iwagakure also dispatched many Jonin with exceptional skills during the Third Shinobi World War.

[For example, leeches, firelight, and large rocks.]

[The Demon Leech is an elite swordsman from Iwagakure.]

His combination of teleportation and swordsmanship made him incredibly fast, reaping countless lives on the battlefield.

However, his speed was ultimately inferior to Minato Namikaze's.

Ultimately, the demon leech was instantly killed by Minato using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Everything in the picture.

The demon leech's sword was about to pierce a Konoha genin.

A flash of golden light.

Minato Namikaze appeared behind Hiru and slit his throat with a kunai.

The whole process took less than a second, achieving the ultimate in clean and neat hair removal.

Hidden Rock Village.

As Ōnoki watched the demon leech fall, he began to grit his teeth, ignoring the loosening of his old teeth.

The losses suffered by Iwagakure in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge were truly devastating.

What's most infuriating is that they didn't gain anything from Konoha in this battle.

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[And Oishi is the ninja with the ability to become invisible through camouflage.]

His invisibility technique is almost perfect; he can even conceal his scent and chakra.

[It was because of him that Kakashi lost one of his eyes.]

This attack directly provoked Obito Uchiha, who was standing nearby.

Driven by extreme anger and a burning desire to protect his comrades, Obito awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan.

on the screen.

Kakashi covered his bleeding left eye and knelt down on the ground.

The large rock lurked in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Obito's eyes turned blood red the moment he saw the injured Kakashi.

Under intense stimulation, he actually activated the second tomoe!
