Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 238 Wind Release Slash, Spirit Assimilation Technique

bump!

Li Yaofeng used his clone to leap up, breaking through the top of the cave and arriving outside.

Rumble... Below, huge rock spikes pierced through the cave, densely packed like a giant rock hedgehog.

Ding!

Li Yao lightly stepped onto one of the rock spikes, looked at the eight Sand Village ninjas disguised as Iwagakure who were surrounding him, and shook his head with a smile.

"Seriously, every ninja village has this kind of plot where they slaughter the geniuses of their own village."

Li Yao complained, "Don't be fooled by how Konoha forced Sakumo Hatake to commit suicide in the original story, which is quite absurd."

The fact that the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, directly colluded with the Hidden Mist Village to ambush Pakura, a heroic ninja from their own village, is truly shocking.

Ultimately, it all comes down to fame and fortune.

Wind Release clone Windwalker was already exceptionally talented and had high popularity and reputation. After being created into a clone by Li Yao, he took on a crazy number of missions and went out to train in Wind Release slashing over the past year.

All the missions were completed without a single failure.

On the contrary, more and more ninjas died under his wind-style slashes.

This made the Wind Release: Shadow Clone Technique even more renowned in Sunagakure.

As a commoner ninja, his voice represents, to some extent, the expectations of commoner ninjas.

He became the first commoner ninja to hold the position of Kazekage.

This clearly infringed upon the interests of the ten great ninja clans of Sunagakure, especially the three strongest clans, who did not want the position of Kazekage to fall into the hands of others.

Thus, an assassination attempt was launched against the Wind Release clone, Wind Chaser.

The two Sand Village companions who just died were just the beginning.

The final blow came from the eight Sand Village ninjas who were now disguised as Iwagakure.

Bang!

The eight ninjas who came to kill Li Yao's wind-escape clones didn't say a word; each of them threw out a white ball that exploded.

Instantly, a purplish-black smoke enveloped an area of ​​two kilometers in radius.

All eight people wore gas masks and tight-fitting clothes, with not an inch of skin exposed.

Clearly, the other party was well aware of the original owner's Windwalker ability, knowing that Windwalker was fast but only proficient in Wind Release and not in other escape techniques.

Therefore, using large-scale toxic smoke is the key to eliminating Fengxing, preventing him from escaping.

However, relying solely on toxic fumes is not a safe bet.

"Fire Release: Fire Flow Technique".

"Fire Release..."

As soon as the poisonous smoke in the hands of the eight people exploded, they immediately used fire-style ninjutsu to attack Li Yao's wind-style clone.

In this way, even if Li Yao's Wind Release clone uses Wind Release, it will be countered by Fire Release ninjutsu, which will blow the poisonous smoke towards Li Yao's Wind Release clone.

In this way, Li Yaofeng's clone will definitely inhale the poisonous smoke.

Once Li Yaofeng's clone inhales the poisonous fumes, he will be completely at their mercy.

Unfortunately, the countermeasure that the eight had anticipated—Li Yao using Wind Release clones—did not materialize.

Or rather, the large-scale wind-style ninjutsu they had envisioned to disperse the poisonous smoke did not materialize.

琤

"Wind Release - Slash!"

With a thought, Li Yaofeng's clone unleashed a series of slashing waves, each thin enough to reach the molecular level, rapidly striking the eight people.

The speed was incredible, and the strikes were incredibly sharp.

Everything along the way—poisonous smoke, flames—was cut through silently, without a sound, like a thin wire slicing through a piece of tofu. Not only could you not hear a sound, but you couldn't even tell that it had been cut open.

"Well……"

"What...?"

"I……"

The eight people were still in the posture of forming hand seals to release ninjutsu, but their entire bodies had been split in two by a slash, and a thin line of blood ran down from the middle of their foreheads.

Splat!

Ultimately, the bodies of the eight people were affected by gravity and could no longer maintain their human form, splitting in two. Blood gushed out instantly, staining the surrounding sand red.

Bang!

Li Yao's Wind Release clone leaped out of the poisonous smoke and arrived outside. Looking at the ten souls slowly rising from the smoke, he reached out and extended a pale blue arm of Rinnegan chakra, grabbing and absorbing the ten souls.

He hadn't forgotten that the Sage of Six Paths, that cunning old fox, probably had the means to examine the memories of souls that fell into the Pure Land.

Li Yao needs to prepare now, as he may have to face the Sage of Six Paths in the future.

Absorbing the souls he wanted to kill, Li Yao's Wind Release clone threw out a black hole spatial sphere, which devoured all the corpses of the ten people and the surrounding traces, before leaving and returning to Sunagakure.

The Wind Release slash that has broken through the limits has been completed; now it's time to deal with the Third Kazekage.

Li Yao wouldn't let the five Shadows who besieged him live forever; he would kill them one by one himself.

……

"It's done!"

"Wow... I didn't expect double happiness!"

Just as the Wind Release clone completed its Wind Release slash, Li Yao's main body also completed the Will Transfer Technique.

On the coast.

Li Yaoying's clone pulled out a spirit from the body of an Iwagakure ninja; it was the spirit of that Iwagakure ninja.

To transfer the will from a ninja's body, a soul is needed as a vessel.

Li Yao's solution was to modify the spiritification technique to make it proactive, allowing him to forcibly transform the soul within another person into a spirit body.

This allows one to extract another person's soul and will from their body.

Of course, the Rinnegan's eye power and chakra can also extract the soul, but the extracted soul is in a daze. Even if it is transplanted into a dog, it will have no intelligence and no original memories. Li Yao has tried this.

Moreover, Li Yao couldn't control the soul extracted from the Rinnegan's eye power chakra, which was then possessing the dog's body.

By using the Spirit Transformation Technique to forcibly transform another person's soul into a spirit body, not only can the spirit body possess intelligence and memories, but it can also be controlled by Li Yao.

Because it is his Spirit Transformation Technique that transforms other people's souls into spiritual entities, those souls contain his chakra and can naturally be controlled by him.

"Who are you?"

"What are you going to do?"

"What...what's wrong with me?"

The spirit of the Iwagakure ninja looked at Li Yaoying's clone, then at its own body, and uttered a soul-searching question.

That's the difference between a spirit and a soul.

Like humans, spirits are incredibly agile.

The soul, however, is in a daze, as if in a state of dementia.

Faced with the questioning from the spirit of Iwagakure, Li Yaoying's clone remained calm. With a thought, he unleashed a soul attack using the power of his Rinnegan chakra, eroding the soul power of the Iwagakure ninja.

Soon, the spirit of the Iwagakure ninja gradually became transparent from its solid state, eventually resembling a ball of pure white water in the air. If it weren't for the fact that spirits are different from air, their existence might not even be visible.

At this point, the soul power of the Iwagakure ninjas has been weakened to the limit, but their intelligence and memories remain.

Let's begin!

With a thought, Li Yaoying controlled the transparent spirit of Iwagakure to possess the stray dog ​​at his feet, while simultaneously purifying his chakra to erase the will from the stray dog's soul.

"Ninja Art - Spirit Assimilation Technique!"

The dog's will was very weak. After it was instantly removed, Li Yaoying's clone immediately controlled the spirit of the Iwagakure ninja to possess the stray dog's soul and body.

Under his control, the souls of the Iwagakure ninjas gradually assimilated and merged with the souls of the stray dogs.

Here, Li Yaoying's clone combined the techniques of spirit possession and earthly resentment to create a spirit assimilation technique, which allows the spirit he controls to assimilate with the soul of a stray dog.

In this way, the spirit of the Iwagakure ninja will not experience any physical rejection after possessing the body of a stray dog, and can live indefinitely.

There might be some side effects later, but it's okay, it's not like Li Yao is going to use it.

"It's a success!"

As the stray dog ​​opened its eyes and wobbled to its feet, Li Yaoying's clone smiled.

"Hoo hoo... (How could I...)"

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo... (my voice...)"

"Hoo hoo... (and my hand...)"

"Hoo hoo hoo... (No, this isn't me!)!"

The stray dog ​​would occasionally lift its front paws and open its mouth as if to speak, but instead it would bark incoherently. The look in its eyes would change from confusion to surprise and terror, and finally it would go completely mad.

Li Yao was very satisfied when he saw this.

The complex and ever-changing expressions in the stray dog's eyes fully demonstrate that its will and thought process at this moment are based on the Iwagakure ninja.

Simply put, the Iwagakure ninjas are like dogs whose bodies have been modified, but their thinking and cognition are still human.

That's why the Iwagakure ninja who had turned into a dog couldn't accept his current appearance.

Looking at the stray dog's crazy behavior, Li Yao could already imagine a series of amusing reactions after the third generation turned into a dog.

"Hahaha..." Li Yao laughed loudly.

Roar... Li Yao's laughter attracted the attention of the Iwagakure ninja stray dog. It bared its teeth and leaped towards the space between Li Yao's shadow clone's legs, opening its mouth wide to bite.

Clearly, this Iwagakure ninja has realized who was responsible for turning him into a dog, and is now determined to take revenge.

bump!

Li Yaoying's clone kicked the stray dog ​​to pieces, then threw a black hole space sphere at it, compressing its soul into pure energy to prevent the Sage of Six Paths from spying on it.
