Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 105 Beating Up the Hokage, the Ninja Swords Attack (Please Subscribe!)

The white light was blinding.

Dust escape materializes.

"Damn it—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted sharply, his aged face trembled, and he moved his feet.

This old bastard actually launched a sneak attack while we were chatting. I've never seen him so shameless before!

A hair's breadth away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have time to dodge, but he still ran wildly toward the hill to his right.

Just then, a huge white pot-lid shield spun down from the sky and crashed down on Onoki like a swift flying saucer.

Onoki was slightly distracted.

boom--

The area where the dust escape technique converged perfectly covered the pot lid shield, directly disintegrating it.

The pot lid shield bought Hiruzen Sarutobi a brief chance to escape. Hiruzen Sarutobi escaped the range of Dust Release, but his ninja helmet and half of his white hair were disintegrated by the edge of Dust Release.

A shadow fell over the land.

"Drink—drink—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi blushed, his heart pounded, and he gasped for breath. Looking up, he saw a giant, purplish-red toad hurtling towards Onoki in mid-air like a cannonball.

This is Gamaken from Mount Myōboku. The pot lid shield was thrown at Ōnoki by it.

Swah——

Onoki narrowed his eyes and stared at the giant toad, which was as large as a mountain and was wielding a harpoon covered in thorns, which slashed down hard from above.

A deafening roar of wind.

Gamaken's attack possessed the power of thunder, leaving Onoki with nowhere to escape.

"Ha... a toad from Mount Myōboku, is this all the confidence you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have?"

After a cold laugh, Onoki didn't even think about running away. He formed hand seals and shouted, "Earth Release: Steel Legacy Technique!"

Rumbling--

The earth trembled violently once more, and the Iwa ninja and Konoha ninja all looked toward the huge commotion. Then, their faces turned ashen, and they scattered.

The earth split open, and a giant made entirely of yellowish-gray rock slowly rose from in front of Onoki.

It spread its arms made of rock, like the most solid rock wall, blocking Ōnoki's way.

"This is the battle between the Tsuchikage and the Hokage..."

"This level completely transcends the concept of a ninja."

The Iwa ninja and Konoha ninja exclaimed in surprise.

On the front lines, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, quickly deducing that it was a rock giant summoned by Onoki through refined earth-attribute chakra form transformation combined with rocks.

Its offensive and defensive tactics are controlled by Onoki, and it possesses extremely high defense.

Onoki's lips curled slightly upward as he continued his actions.

In his youth, after witnessing Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, Onoki returned to Iwagakure. After much reflection, he realized that he should also master a ninjutsu that could summon giant creatures, and thus this Earth Release ninjutsu came about.

"..."

The giant toad's pupils widened as it watched the rock giant appear out of nowhere, and could only smash its harpoon against its stone body.

boom--

Rock fragments flew everywhere.

He was hit in the left shoulder by a harpoon, but the rock giant, which was more than ten meters tall, remained expressionless on its head.

It remained standing, its outstretched arms slowly reaching out to grab the toad.

"..."

Hamaken's right hand, which was gripping the harpoon tightly, was throbbing so hard that blood oozed out. It felt as if the harpoon had struck the hardest rock in the world, and the shockwave was too much for him to bear.

However, the toad's body was lighter than the rock giant's, and after the heavy blow, it dodged and weaved to avoid the rock giant's grasp.

Before the toad could even catch its breath, it suddenly discovered that Onoki had silently appeared behind its massive toad body.

"Earth Release: Super Weighted Rock Technique!"

Onoki released Earth Release, gently touching the toad-like body behind him with his right palm.

Swah——

The next instant, Gamaken's pupils shrank sharply, and his originally agile body seemed to be filled with heavy metal as he plummeted down, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Smoke and dust billowed.

Onoki flew behind the rock giant and used "Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique" to lighten the rock giant.

Boom boom boom—

As if breaking free of its shackles, the rock giant increased its speed and leaped into the giant pit.

The rock giant pressed down on the toad's head with one hand and slammed down with his fist.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had not participated in such high-intensity battles for a long time, finally came to his senses.

Before he could make a move, Onoki, who was also panting heavily, had already flown in front of him and slammed a heavy punch into Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen.

boom--

"Well……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and coughed up a mouthful of blood, but at the same time, he completed hand seals and exhaled a gust of wind:

"Wind Release: Cyclone!!"

Onoki's expression was solemn. He dodged to the side, his old body as agile as a rabbit. With the help of the Lightness and Heavy Technique, he easily dodged the Wind Release attack and came behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, kicking out with a sudden kick.

boom--

Hiruzen Sarutobi, straining on his back, released his Wind Release technique and collapsed heavily to the ground.

He now looks tired and disheveled, with only half of his hair remaining white.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have gotten this old!" Onoki said disdainfully.

Then, Onoki used his Instant Transmission technique repeatedly to engage in close-quarters taijutsu combat with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In a battle between masters, one can instantly discern each other's skill level. In Onoki's opinion, Hiruzen Sarutobi's explosive power was decent.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra may have been unused for a long time, and the Hokage's ability to refine and control chakra has become somewhat rusty.

This is extremely fatal for a ninja facing an opponent of the same level.

bang bang bang-

Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, like a spent arrow, and threw a punch like the wind at Onoki.

However, Onoki easily blocked it by using Earth Release to wrap his arms around it.

Stone chips fell.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually lost his strength, Onoki seized the opportunity and kicked him in the abdomen, sending him flying. By the time Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted, Onoki was already on top of him, delivering a powerful punch.

bang——

Hiruzen Sarutobi frantically reached out to defend himself, but his face was still struck by several punches.

"Haha, what a sorry sight!"

Onoki looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had lost most of his hair and had a bruised and swollen face, and laughed excitedly.

He wasn't in much better shape; his chakra was depleted, and his fists were no longer as powerful as before.

Even so, beating up Hiruzen Sarutobi would still be an easy task.

The battle between the two shadows is coming to an end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's work is not entirely satisfactory.

The Konoha ninja were in an uproar on the battlefield:

"Hokage-sama!!!"

"How is this possible..."

"That's our strongest Hokage!!!"

……

……

Akatsuki.

A certain base.

In the dark and cold underground cave, Orochimaru followed Zetsu toward a forked passage.

"Your experimental project has run into trouble again. I'm warning you, the leader is extremely dissatisfied with your work attitude. If you don't want to suffer divine punishment, you'd better tone it down!"

He spoke very slowly.

Its body was very strange, wearing a large fire cloud robe, its height almost touching the top of the passage, yet its steps were unusually steady and coordinated.

"Heh... all I need to do is apply for another grant to complete this experiment. Wait, this doesn't seem to be the treasury, does it?"

Orochimaru said, looking around.

He raised his pale right hand from his fiery sleeve, pushed up his round-framed black sunglasses, and asked in a deep voice.

"Oh, the treasure vault has been moved. You know, Kakuzu doesn't like keeping his money in the same place for long. It'll be there soon."

He answered calmly.

"Indeed." Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly, his face behind his sunglasses returning to its icy expression.

"Tell me what you've been up to lately, and why you came back wearing sunglasses. That's not like you, Orochimaru."

As Zetsu spoke, he turned around and looked back. In his eyes, Orochimaru, wearing sunglasses, looked just like a blind man.

Orochimaru laughed and said, "I've been traveling around the ninja world, looking for promising talents that will interest me."

"Is that so?" Zetsu led Orochimaru to the doorway of a dark room and said in a deep voice, "We're here."

creak-

Zetsu pushed open the door, revealing a brightly lit and simply furnished interior. Zetsu led Orochimaru inside.

Suddenly the door closed.

A figure familiar to Orochimaru emerged from behind the vermilion pillar; it was none other than Kakuzu, wearing a mask and with a gloomy expression.

"hehe……"

Orochimaru still wore a smile, his eyes sweeping over Zetsu beside him behind his sunglasses. He took a half step back, and his hands moved slightly beneath the sleeves of his fiery cloud robe.

He sighed inwardly, just as Yin Yuejun had said, he could never go back to the Akatsuki organization.

"Orochimaru, you deserve to die!"

Kakuzu slowly walked towards Orochimaru.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru calmly countered.

hiss--

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips. He noticed something amiss behind him and immediately turned around to look.

A faint wriggling sound came from the area hidden by the enormous body.

Hiruko, dragging her hunched body, slowly crawled out from the side of the door, blocking Orochimaru's escape route.

Sasori's cold gaze fixed on Orochimaru's back, and he scoffed dismissively:

"I've disliked you for a long time, I don't know why, I just can't stand the sight of you."

"Heh...it's just a little money from the organization, is it really worth making such a fuss?"

Orochimaru, still smiling, calmly left Zetsu's side, turned around, and faced the three Akatsuki members to his left and right.

As he spoke, he took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of Sharingan eyes with three tomoe.

All those present were S-rank rogue ninjas. Orochimaru wasn't afraid of just one of them, but two would certainly be a headache.

"Sharingan..."

Kakuzu and Sasori's eyes lit up as they looked into those eyes, which were renowned throughout the ninja world, each lost in their own thoughts.

"The leader is right, you recently went to Konoha."

Absolutely calm.

"So what? Does that mean my actions interfered with one of the organization's plans?"

Orochimaru teased.

Kakuzu's tone was icy:

"Even without the leader's orders, I've wanted to take action against someone like you for a long time. Your head is worth a lot of money and can make up for the recent losses in the treasury."

Black Zetsu within Zetsu's body narrowed its eyes, its mind racing with thoughts. Only when Madara and Obito were the last members of the Uchiha clan dead could its plan to save its mother be more secure.

However, due to Orochimaru's actions, a Uchiha named Uchiha Yinyue appeared out of nowhere!

Black Zetsu hated Orochimaru so much that he almost ground his back teeth to powder.

"That means there's no room for negotiation..."

Orochimaru shook his head helplessly, his three-tomoe Sharingan scanning Sasori and Kakuzu.

Having acquired the Sharingan, Orochimaru needed real-world data to analyze how much these eyes enhanced his abilities.

Although he knew that he wouldn't be able to collect much data from this encounter.

hiss-

The sound of tearing cloth rang out as Orochimaru ripped off his Fire Cloud Robe and tossed it carelessly to the ground, revealing the pale yellow cloth robe he usually wore.

Battle broke out.

Orochimaru fought two opponents alone.

I'm just watching the show.

Five minutes later.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The basement was completely destroyed, the stone pillars collapsed, and half of the ceiling fell down.

Orochimaru's lower body was crushed by a boulder, and countless puppets dressed in red stood around him, their sharp blades piercing through his body.

"Cough cough cough—"

Orochimaru lay on the cold ground, his face ashen, coughing up blood, his Sharingan still activated.

Kakuzu flicked his sleeves, still seemingly unsatisfied, and approached Orochimaru. He bent down and reached out to grab Orochimaru's eyes, saying in a deep voice, "Your strength isn't much, but these eyes are quite impressive."

Before he could finish speaking...

Sasori, standing nearby, coldly reminded him, "This is just one of Orochimaru's snake clones."

"..."

Kakuzu's eyes twitched.

Suddenly, Orochimaru's body underwent a strange transformation, turning into countless multicolored snakes that burrowed into the crevice and vanished without a trace.

"I hate these snakes the most!"

Kakuzu stomped a viper to death and kicked it away, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"I'll go tell the leader that I'll go after this guy!" Scorpion controlled Hiruko and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Jue spoke:

"The leader has a new mission for you. The situation in the ninja world has changed, and the plan to capture the tailed beasts needs to be put on the agenda."

Sasori and Kakuzu stopped in their tracks.

……

It is located a few kilometers away from the Akatsuki base.

In a forest somewhere.

Orochimaru, wearing sunglasses, received feedback from his snake clone and sighed helplessly:

"Just as Yinyue-jun said, my actions to aid Yinyue-jun have involved the interests of the Akatsuki leader or the masked man behind him. There's no way I can go back to that organization."

With that, he disappeared into the shadows.

After getting the Sharingan.

Orochimaru's first headache was the issue of chakra allocation.

If given the chance, he would still want to take over Itachi's body, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fully utilize the capabilities of those eyes.

……

……

A land of water, on the border, a western island, where seabirds fly and waves crash against the beach.

A ship approached the dock from afar, and on the deck, a group of Uchiha looked at the harbor with excitement and anticipation.

"Once you reach the border, cross two islands, and you'll arrive at Kirigakure Village."

Terumi Mei excitedly explained.

Yin Yue nodded slightly and returned to the cabin from the bow of the ship, where she happened to run into Tsunade, who had been lying in the cabin for two days. Tsunade's expression was cold.

He looked around and saw no one.

Yin Yue calmly asked, "Shall we talk?"

"..."

Tsunade looked disdainful and was about to leave when she saw Yin Yue take out the "green medicine".

The two arrived at the starboard side of the deserted ship, behind the railing in the corridor.

Holding the green potion in her hand, Tsunade was lost in thought, unable to concentrate on studying this strange drug, and handed it to Yin Yue.

"I will take responsibility for what happened that night."

Taking the green medicine, Yin Yue put it away, feeling slightly guilty as she looked at Tsunade's face.

Tsunade glared at Yin Yue, her voice harsh, "What you left inside me, I've already expelled with my chakra. We have nothing to do with each other!"

Yin Yue: "???"

After saying that, Tsunade turned and left, leaving behind the promise of Yin Yue:

"I've heard about your situation from Shizune. I promise you, once this Mist Village incident is over, I can find a way to revive the person you cherish most."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's anger, which had been plastered across her delicate face, froze. She paused, momentarily stunned. Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, a startled cry came from above the ship:

"Enemy attack at six o'clock!!!"

The voice just fell.

The ship trembled, the sea surged, and the passenger ship chartered by Terumi Mei emitted black smoke as it was sliced ​​apart from bottom to top by something sharp.

Rumbling--

The ship capsized.

Yin Yue, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Nono, and Ao, who escaped from the cabin, along with the rest of the Uchiha and Shizune holding a piglet, stood on the surface of the ship that was about to sink into the sea.

Tamao, Nanfeng, and the others plunged into the sea and soon rescued the captain and sailors who were almost drowning.

Everyone looked up.

At the bow of the ship, two figures carrying strange knives were facing away from them.

Terumi Mei's pupils trembled slightly.

Suigetsu Hozuki, carrying the large sword Samehada on his back, turned around, his gaze landing on the graceful Mei Terumi in the crowd, and he remarked:

"To think you'd associate with the Uchiha clan, Mei Terumi, you've fallen!!"
