Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 322 The Beginning of Tragedy

"As expected, there are no invincible ninjutsu, except for space-time ninjutsu!"

Li Yao's wind-escape clone looked at his earth-escape clone, Shi Yan, and saw that his slash had only left a white mark. He couldn't help but sigh.

As the most powerful ninjutsu among the five basic attributes, Wind Release's slashes, when upgraded to the Bloodline Limit level, are indeed very powerful.

However, Earth Release, as the strongest defensive ninjutsu among the five basic attributes, is also the strongest defensive ninjutsu when it is upgraded to the level of Bloodline Limit Elimination.

The hypothetical mass of one million tons endowed the Earth Release clone - Rock Rock - with an incredibly terrifying hypothetical physical density.

This terrifying density of flesh not only prevents even wind-style slashes capable of cutting through molecules from penetrating it, but also endows his attacks with unparalleled power.

With a single punch, a force of a million tons was unleashed instantly, easily shattering mountains and splitting the earth. No wonder even the Third Raikage couldn't withstand such a punch.

bump!

Boom!

On the battlefield, the battle between the two of them quickly created long, narrow canyons with no end in sight and huge craters that looked like they had been struck by meteorites.

The terrain within a radius of several kilometers changed significantly as the two fought.

This battle could easily be described as a fight between two gods.

The Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninjas watching from afar clearly sensed the terrifying power gap between them and Li Yao's two clones, a gap that spanned an entire dimension.

In the blink of an eye.

The battle had lasted ten minutes.

Although only ten minutes had passed, the earth had endured countless blows.

At this point, both of Li Yao's clones knew it was time to end the fight.

"Impressive. This is the first time I've encountered someone who can block a wind-style slash."

"You're not bad either!"

The two clones spoke to each other, and then Li Yaofeng used his clones to retreat.

"You've won this battle, how about we call it quits?" Li Yaofeng said, using his clone.

If the fight really goes on, without using other methods, Li Yao's wind-escape clone is no match for his earth-escape clone - Shi Yan.

Because every time you use Wind Release: Slash, it consumes chakra.

The Earth Release clone, Stone Rock, which uses the Mass Technique to imbue its physical body with imaginary mass, keeps its chakra within its body and consumes very little.

If the fight continues using only taijutsu attacks, Li Yao's wind-style clone will be the first to run out of chakra.

Therefore, in this situation, it would be correct to say that Earth Release Clone - Ishii won.

"No, I want you dead!"

Earth Release Clone - Shi Yan's character naturally disagreed with Li Yaofeng's suggestion, showing an attitude of not giving up until he killed you, and continued to attack Li Yaofeng's clone.

However, Li Yaofeng's wind-escape clone, which was focused on avoiding battle, was not something that Shi Yan's earth-escape clone could catch up with.

Left with no other option, Earth Release clone - Ishii - deliberately attacked Rasa and his group who were watching the battle.

"You dare!"

Li Yao's Wind Release clone naturally adopted the attitude of the Wind Shadow, resolutely protecting the people of his village.

But just as his Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, couldn't do anything to him when he avoided battle, he also couldn't stop Shi Yan, who was determined to kill Luo Sha and the others.

"No...ah..."

In the end, the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, forcefully killed Luo Sha in front of Li Yao's Wind Release clone. Until his death, Luo Sha did not know why he died.

"good!"

"Fine! You kill yours, I'll kill mine!"

Li Yao's wind-escape clone was furious and turned to kill the people from Iwagakure. His earth-escape clone, Ishii, changed his expression and naturally went to stop him.

But just as Li Yaofeng's clone couldn't stop him, he couldn't stop Li Yaofeng's clone either.

Thus, after Li Yao's Wind Release clone killed a portion of the Iwagakure ninja, the two of them showed expressions of finally recognizing reality and temporarily reached a verbal agreement not to attack each other.

Afterwards, the Earth Release clone, Ishii, returned to Iwagakure with the reputation of having defeated but not killed the Fourth Kazekage.

Although the Earth Release clone - Ishii didn't kill the Fourth Kazekage this time, it did kill Rasa, a powerful ninja renowned throughout the ninja world, which can be considered an explanation for Onoki's death.

As for whether anyone disagrees?

After the battle between Li Yao's two clones was spread by those who witnessed it and saw the deep canyons and craters left behind on the battlefield, even those who were not convinced could only suppress their anger.

If you're not convinced, try using that kind of attack first.

If all else fails, you can go and kill the Fourth Kazekage.

Forget about killing him, you're already impressive if you survived the Fourth Kazekage's attack.

But no one dared to step forward.

And so, half a month after returning to the village, Earth Release clone - Ishii, successfully took the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage and reached the pinnacle of his life.

Meanwhile, Li Yao's Wind Release clone also led the Sand Ninja back to the Land of Wind, temporarily halting the fight with the Iwagakure.

Although Rasa died this time, killing the Third Tsuchikage still further enhanced the prestige of Lee Yoh's Wind Release clone in Sunagakure.

Li Yao's Wind Release clones can now return to continue researching ninjutsu.

Next, we just have to wait for Obito to turn to the dark side.

……

The Land of Grass.

Inside Madara's underground base, Obito lay naked on a stone bed, half of his body appearing to have been flattened by a heavy object.

White Zetsu stood to the side, one hand merging into Obito's flattened half of his body, continuously injecting White Zetsu cells into it.

While Li Yao's two clones were putting on a show, White Zetsu finally arranged an accident when Minato was not around Obito and the others. This not only made Obito awaken his Sharingan, but also made Kakashi and the others believe that Obito was dead.

In reality, Obito was brought back to the underground base in the Land of Grass by White Zetsu, who was keeping him alive.

White Zetsu is currently reshaping Obito's flattened half of his body.

This time, Shiroze has forced the cells and Obito to fuse together. As long as Obito's cells do not exclude Shiroze's cells, the symbiotic effect can be achieved.

In this way, if anything unexpected happens in the future, half of Obito's body will be his trump card to defeat Obito.

Madara sat back to back on the stone seat in front of the Gedo Mazo, his long white hair hanging down, covering half of his face. The exposed half of his face seemed to be full of life, as smooth as a baby's skin.

This is not a sign that Ban's body has regained its vitality, but rather a kind of final burst of energy before death, or a manifestation of rapid aging.

Ban really can't hold on for more than a few days this time.

Soon, Obito's half of his body was reconstructed and quickly adapted to the White Zetsu's cells. Although it did not fuse with them, it also did not cause any rejection reaction.

White Zetsu cells, also known as Wood Release cells, originated from the son of the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sharingan bloodline also originates from another son of the Sage of Six Paths.

Therefore, if we're talking about who in the ninja world is most likely to successfully transplant Wood Release cells, it would definitely be the Uchiha clan members who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This applies to Madara and Obito.

Unfortunately, only Black Zetsu knew this secret, and Madara only realized it after seeing the Uchiha clan's ancestral monument.

It was precisely because only the Uchiha clan could successfully transplant Wood Release cells that Madara and White Zetsu were so determined to find members of the Uchiha clan to carry out their plan.

If it weren't for Li Yao, that freak, Black Absolute wouldn't have wavered.

But all of that is in the past.

Black Zetsu has already seen Obito's potential, and only to protect his comrades did he awaken the Sharingan with two tomoe on his first awakening.

If his beloved Rin were to die in front of him, what terrifying Mangekyou Sharingan ability would Obito awaken?

I'm really looking forward to Black Zetsu.

"I just... hope everything goes well!"

Suddenly recalling Li Yao's previous utter defeat of Madara, Black Zetsu's initial joy at Obito's immense talent and potential instantly turned to coldness. He could only sigh helplessly, hoping that Obito could awaken the ability to defeat Li Yao.

Li Yao is too uncontrollable. Black Zetsu prefers to partner with the simple-minded Madara and Obito, as those two are easier to manage.
