Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Shinto didn't expect that Hidan, who couldn't die, would back down so quickly, and he lowered his fist with some regret.

Honestly, it's been a long time since he's had this much fun exposing someone.

Although this brat isn't very hard, it's just the right amount of hardness, and the key point is that it's impossible to kill, which is the most crucial aspect.

If this kid weren't his best friend's little brother, he'd want to kidnap him and take him back to the village to keep as a pet...

"......"

Hidan, who's immortal, is trembling uncontrollably. What's with that regretful tone...? ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

"Old Zi, you see? This is what happens when you disobey. Obediently go with my brother to hand over the reins to Onoki, and go back to undergo reform. You're not a kid anymore, you should set a good example for the younger ones!"

"There's nothing left to say," Masato said to Old Purple, whose shoulders were tightly bound and tied in a knot, and whose eyes were twitching incessantly, in a tone that sounded like a father scolding his disobedient son.

"...Hmm! (╯︵╰)"

Old Purple, being scolded like a son, nodded with difficulty. All he wanted now was to escape the clutches of this blond devil as quickly as possible. Looking at the several large bumps on the silver-haired brat's head, not only him, but even the Four-Tailed Fox in his belly felt a chill. Those who haven't been beaten can never imagine the excruciating pain...

Although he wasn't the one who got beaten up, the long-sealed memories resurfaced once again on the big bump on the silver-haired brat's head.

"Is he alright? Should we knock him out?"

Even though Old Purple was bound hand and foot, he had no injuries whatsoever, and Kakuzu was still worried.

Just kidding. He and his little brother fought the Five-Tails Jinchuriki before and were covered in sweat. If it weren't for his little brother being such a tank, he might not have been able to handle it. Now, this Four-Tails Jinchuriki doesn't seem to have any injuries at all. He obviously hasn't been beaten up. If the two Jinchuriki teamed up, he might not be able to protect them.

"It's alright, Lao Zi is an acquaintance of ours, he has experience in this area, he won't cause any trouble."

"Old Zi, you're right, aren't you?"

After Masato finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow at Roshi.

".....Hmm! (╯︵╰)"

Although it was rare for this blond devil to say something like "he has experience in this area"... Old Purple still nodded firmly and forcefully. Ever since he saw Kakuzu, he knew that things were probably different from what this blond devil said. Onoki didn't go to ask Sunagakure for help, but instead paid Kakuzu to take them back.

If that's the case, then things will be much easier to handle afterwards.

As the top-tier player on the black market, Kakuzu's price is not low, especially since it involves taking away their Jinchūriki, which would definitely cost an astronomical sum. Currently, the village's finances have always been a major problem. The debt from that high-stakes gamble between their former daimyo and the daimyo of the Land of Fire is still not fully repaid in installments.

Ohnoki must have already suffered a financial collapse by spending such a large sum of money this time; he can't possibly do it a second time.

If that's the case, we can simply go back with Kakuzu and Onoki, behave ourselves for a while, and then sneak out after Onoki lowers his guard.

If they really run away this time, the next time the Golden Lion comes, it might not just be all talk...

"Alright, I'm leaving the person to you. It's been a long time since I've been out, so let's take advantage of this opportunity to get some fresh air... Sayonara!"

Shinto nodded in satisfaction, handed Oshi over to Kakuzu, waved goodbye, and flew towards Konoha to watch the show.

"Hiss...! That damned old bastard, don't give me a chance, or I'll definitely kill him. (-"-Angry)"

With the old bastard gone, Hidan, who felt he wouldn't die, thought he was back to normal. After rubbing the bump on his head and grimacing as the pain subsided, a new round of verbal sparring began.

Anyway, I've been beaten up for so long, and apart from the pain it's a little, it won't kill me, so what's there to be afraid of!

"...Stop talking nonsense, let's take him and leave quickly, lest things get complicated..."

Kakuzu, too lazy to pay attention to his underling's hindsight advice, carried the bound and gagged Old Purple and, after speaking to his underling, headed towards Iwagakure with peace of mind.

My little brother is beyond saving, but he's still my little brother, and it's not good for him to keep getting beaten up. I'll just tell him to keep his good friends away from him in the future, as long as he doesn't get beaten senseless.

........

"Boom boom boom!"

"Holy crap! What's going on? This is... an airplane? ⊙０⊙"

Arriving above the Land of Fire, Masato was about to take a deep breath of fresh air when a series of loud explosions came from not far away. He activated his Observation Haki and looked in the direction of the explosions.

Good guy!

Masato almost fell from the sky.

What did he see?

More than a dozen flying vehicles were bombarding a Konoha base in the Land of Fire, and each of them was firing energy cannons with considerable power, capable of inflicting damage at least at the level of A-rank ninjutsu.

The most crucial question is here.

The technology tree in the Naruto world is very distorted. Although there are advanced scientific experimental devices, there isn't even a single communication telephone. Moreover, he has been in this world for over fifty or almost sixty years. Let alone fighter jets, there aren't even any sheep yet. And now fighter jets have appeared!

A sense of ultra-modern civilization washes over you; the technological leap is quite significant!

"Could it be that some fellow countryman brought some kind of technological system with him and transmigrated here? No, I have to get one and have Snake Uncle study it..."

For scientific and technological problems, Orochimaru is the right person to consult. First, take down a flying machine and ask him for answers. If Orochimaru can build that thing, then the chances of other people from his hometown transmigrating to his world are slim. But if even Orochimaru, the top scientist in the ninja world, can't build it...

That would be a big problem!

Damn it, Kaguya hasn't even appeared yet, and now another guy pops up who clearly has a system and wants to unify the ninja world and reach the moon.

This dungeon is a completely different story!

1052. The little girl actually has feelings for Snake.

While these aircraft aren't particularly maneuverable, they're incredibly fast, deal high damage, and most importantly, they can fly. If they added rockets, atomic bombs, nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, or something similar, the Akatsuki wouldn't have to struggle so much to destroy the world...

"boom!"

Realizing he couldn't care less about going to Konoha to watch the show, he quickly flew over and confronted the nearest aircraft. Carrying a laser cannon, he unleashed a powerful punch that blasted the aircraft to pieces. Regardless of whether the aircraft was piloted or whether there was anyone in the cockpit, he carried the massive iron lump and flew towards Orochimaru's youth talent training center.

"(⊙_⊙)? Did you guys notice that something like this is missing from the top..."

Because things happened so fast, the Konoha underlings who were shooting down at the planes in the sky suddenly realized that one of the metal objects seemed to be missing.

"boom!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique... Forget about that, just take these things down! Holy crap! What the hell is this thing...?"

........

"Great scientist! Come out and receive this package, help me see what this thing is..."

"Who goes there???"

"Golden...golden lion?! っ?Д?)っ"

Shinto arrived at Orochimaru's Youth Talent Training Center and roared with his Observation Haki, startling the students there.

A girl with light blue hair walked over with a few henchmen. When she saw the person in question, she was shocked but remained vigilant.

It must be said that Orochimaru's brainwashing skills are no less than Hiruzen Sarutobi's; he truly deserves to be considered Hiruzen Sarutobi's chosen successor...

"Huh, this great scientist has a little girl hiding here. I thought he didn't have that kind of hobby..."

When Masato saw this girl who seemed like a leader, he said with an "I understand" expression.

"You bastard..."

The girl leading the group was probably an experienced person herself. She seemed to understand Masato's expression. Her face turned red with embarrassment and anger. However, considering that the other party was looking for Lord Orochimaru, the gap between the two sides was too great. The image of Lord Orochimaru, who was knowledgeable, handsome, and cool, appeared in her mind. All sorts of strange emotions made her temporarily control her impulse to fight.

"Holy crap... young lady, you don't actually have feelings for that great scientist, do you? That's no easy feat! (⊙▽⊙)"

He had only meant it as a casual joke, but seeing the girl's expression, he understood.

Although he's still single, he's never been without experience, even if he hasn't eaten pork in all these years.

While Snake's character is somewhat dark and his ninjutsu is rather disgusting, his status as a top scientist completely overshadows these minor flaws. In addition, Snake possesses a kind of androgynous handsomeness, and given his age of eighteen, it's quite reasonable for young girls to be experiencing first love.

However, Orochimaru is someone who aspires to immortality, utterly ruthless! Romantic relationships are completely irrelevant to him. In the Naruto world, most men need women primarily for procreation, but Orochimaru can handle procreation on his own; he doesn't need women at all...

Flirting with Orochimaru is N times harder than trying to woo Tsunade!

"Hehe... You all go now, leave this to me."

At that moment, Snake Uncle emerged from the ground. He had heard and seen what had just been said and Honglian's reaction. If this bastard continued to make fun of him, his reputation would be in jeopardy. Everyone knew this bastard was a big mouth...

"Come quick, help me figure out what this thing is! I found it in the Land of Fire. There were over a dozen of these bombs bombing a base in Konoha. This thing is even more convenient than Onoki's map-wide cannon, and it's quite powerful..."

Snake came out, and Masato, too lazy to continue joking, pointed to the still-smoking aircraft on the ground and gave a brief account of what had happened.

"I heard about a group of mysterious people attacking the Land of Fire recently. It wasn't just the place you mentioned; many places in the Land of Fire were attacked, and even Konoha was bombed. However, with Tsunade and Sakumo there, Konoha didn't suffer too much damage. Now it seems to be this group. Judging from the symbol, it seems to be the Land of the Sky that has risen from the ashes..."

After circling around the metal lump, Snake pointed to a sign and said calmly.

"Sigh, but what's the deal with this Land of the Sky? I've been in the ninja world for decades and I've never heard of such a country. By the way, with your skills, could you even make this thing?"

Masato greeted him with a smile. He had been in the ninja world for so many years and had traveled almost all over the map. He had even been to the Land of Stone, which was not marked on the map. However, this was the first time he had heard of the Land of Sky.

Does the ninja world have such a country?

However, what he was most concerned about was whether any fellow villagers had accidentally entered the wrong instance.

"...Hehe, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. This country's geographical location is very special, and not many people know about it. Moreover, it was destroyed decades ago. During World War II, this Sky Country tried to launch a sneak attack while Konoha was at war with other villages. However, it is said that they were researching an evil chakra—or rather, dark chakra—that they wanted to use to create artificial tailed beasts. But because it was wartime, Konoha didn't have time to deal with it, so my Hokage teacher sent Zixiao to lead people to destroy the Sky Country..."

"Making this thing isn't difficult; all you need is a power source. Those Sky Ninja use this dark chakra as their power source..."

"Stop! Say something I can understand. Just tell me if you can make this thing. You've said a whole bunch of things and I don't understand a word of it. Tailed beasts can be artificially created?"

Seeing that Snake was going on and on about science without stopping, Masato quickly interrupted, rattling off a whole bunch of technical terms, none of which Masato could understand...

"As long as there is a power source, it is very simple to make this thing. The so-called dark chakra is a special kind of chakra that can affect people's emotions. Although tailed beasts can be artificially made and may have some of the abilities of tailed beasts in some aspects, the difference is still very large. Other tailed beasts are formed from the chakra of nature, and even if they die, they will be resurrected after a few years. But this kind of artificial tailed beast will not. If it dies, it really dies."

Orochimaru nodded confidently. While he might not be the most formidable fighter, when it came to survival and scientific prowess, who in the ninja world could compare?

1053. My idol is Madara, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

"Sogga, besides you, how many other people know about this so-called artificial tailed beast? Do you have the address of the Land of Sky? Since you're free anyway, why don't you go and take a look? I'm quite curious about this artificial tailed beast..."

Upon hearing what Snake Uncle said, Shindou's eyes darted around, and a long-lost flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

An immature idea has emerged.

Obito and the Akatsuki wanted to revive the Ten-Tails, but the Ten-Tails only has nine normal holes in its body. If another tailed beast were to emerge, I wonder where they'd fit it...

However, before implementing this idea, we must first make sure how many people know about this so-called artificial tailed beast.

"...This happened decades ago. I only saw the record in the Hokage Building's archives back then. There probably aren't many people who know about this now...I do know the address. I went there once to study this so-called Dark Chakra, but it had already been sealed away at the time. Now that the Land of Sky has been revived, I want to go and see it too."

Seeing that the guy's smile was even more sinister than his own, Snake knew that this guy was definitely up to no good, which piqued his interest. After Snake finished speaking, he habitually licked his lips.

"That makes things easier. We'll go check it out in a couple of days. By the way, is that Uchiha brat with you? How's he doing? What's his talent like? You don't have designs on his body, do you? Your soul is severely depleted right now, and the Sharingan has mental attributes. If you have designs on it, I advise you not to take the risk. Someone else's body is always someone else's; it's never as good as your own."
