Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

The power of the Rinnegan is so complex and profound that it cannot be fully mastered overnight.

The outcome of the contest between the two remains to be seen.

Based on the above considerations, Black Zetsu did not inform Obito Uchiha about the second pair of Rinnegan, but chose to keep it a secret for the time being.

Therefore,

The fierce battle between Shisui and Obito Uchiha continues.

same,

The war among the others has never ceased either.

"It's Wood Release..." Bai glanced at the ice block wrapped in vines and branches, then looked at Tenzo and the others with increasing caution and vigilance. Legend has it that the First Hokage relied on Wood Release, which was invincible throughout the ninja world, so he dared not be careless.

"Sakon, Kidomaru, Tayuya, Jirobo, together..."

only--

The moment Bai gave the order,

Konoha took the initiative and made the first move.

In this battle, Konoha was on the offensive. Yamanaka and his men kept their mission firmly in mind: they were there to rescue people, not to stay and passively take a beating. No matter what kind of monster stood in their way, they had to fight their way through as quickly as possible.

"Ninja Art: Mind Disorder Body Technique"

Shan Zhongfeng formed a triangle with his hands.

A transparent and invisible mental shock burst forth from the open triangle, striking precisely the largest and fattest among the group of people opposite. The reason it didn't hit Bai Xiaoshou, who was clearly the leader, was simple: the fat man looked the weakest.

The mountain clan's spiritual techniques are not the kind of moves that are guaranteed to work once you're hit.

When dealing with enemies whose mental strength is weaker than one's own, it is naturally a sure thing, with almost no resistance. However, it may not be effective against opponents with strong mental strength. For example, the Uchiha clan ninjas have extremely high resistance to the mental techniques of the Yamanaka clan.

Rather than risk a blunder by freezing Inuzuka Hana in one shot, it's better to pick on the weaker targets first.

This is not,

After being hit, Jirobo's body moved uncontrollably, and he threw a punch at his female teammate next to him. Unfortunately, his movements were a little slow, and his teammate was quite alert and dodged the powerful punch.

The cracked ground was the only proof that this punch was delivered with absolutely no hesitation.

"Jirobo?"

Bai frowned.

"My hands won't obey me... Damn it!" Jirobo's forehead veins bulged, clearly he had used all his strength, but it was still no use. His hands were out of control and he launched a series of blows at his companion.

"Jirobo, you useless idiot, you can't even control your own body, just die already."

Tayuya started cursing.

Although she was the only female member in their group, she unfortunately lacked any feminine gentleness. Her mouth was like a viper spitting venom, not elegant or subtle at all. Her language was so straightforward and simple that it was astonishing. Putting everything else aside, Captain Bai frowned as soon as he heard it.

That's so improper!

He swears constantly, what kind of behavior is that? No matter how many times I've told Tayuya to stop, he never learns. He's such a clingy person.

but,

Is it a spiritual secret technique of the mountain tribe?

Just as Lord Orochimaru said, it is indeed a method that should not be underestimated!

"Tayuya, shut up."

Bai shouted, "And Jirobo, release the cursed seal and see if you can break free of the control! Sakon, Kidomaru, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting to be controlled by them and play the same trick of Jirobo and Tayuya, killing each other?"

Sakon and Kidomaru, having been reprimanded, wore sullen faces.

However, Haku had repeatedly thrashed them, and their numerous crushing defeats made them unable to muster the courage to oppose him. Instead, they vented their frustration and anger on the Konoha ninjas on the other side.

Kidomaru's cheeks bulged out and kept wriggling, as if he were chewing sugarcane or something similar.

Immediately,

He opened his mouth and vomited violently.

He spat out spider webs, which flew towards the mountain wind.

This is the [Secret Technique: Spider Nest Opening].

Kidomaru, who has six arms, comes from an ancient clan in the ninja world. Members of this clan are born with six arms and possess unique family secret techniques. Although they cannot compare with the top powerful clans that dominate the ninja world, such as the Senju and Uchiha, they are still a force to be reckoned with during the Warring States period.

Unfortunately, when the system of one village per country was established, this clan failed to keep up with the times. When they fought against Iwagakure, they were almost wiped out. Only a few people escaped, and now only Kidomaru remains as a descendant. He was found and taken under the command of Orochimaru, who had unparalleled curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

"You're the one, masked man. Come and have some fun with me!"

Sakon glanced at Tenzo, who was using Wood Release, and then turned his attention to Aburame Torune.

He is different from Kidomaru.

Sakon excels in close combat.

He didn't like opponents like Tenzo and Yamanaka Fu. Fortunately, not all the enemies on the other side were ranged attackers. There was also a man wearing a nearly airtight protective suit. According to his observation, this man did not show any special ranged attack methods. He was using shuriken to help fight off those exploding birds, grasshoppers, snakes and the like.

Judging from the surrounding area, this was the most suitable prey for him to deal with.

As for the one who uses Wood Release, let Haku deal with him!

As the saying goes,

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Aburame Torune saw Sakon rushing towards him and was stunned for less than a second. How dare he rush directly in front of him... He couldn't let go of prey that had come to his doorstep, so he simply stopped and temporarily helped Hyuga Hinata's actions.

Instead, they approached Zuo Jin.

With a "whoosh," the gloves were removed.

Then--

He threw a punch.

His fist collided with Zuo Jin's.

The two men, whose strength was roughly equal, both felt the pain reflected back from their fists, and then, without prior agreement, they pulled back and created distance between themselves.

At the instant the fists collided, Aburame Torune sensed that an unusual chakra had invaded his body. However, in the blink of an eye, the [Phosphorus-Destroying Insects] he had been nurturing within him were activated. The nano-sized poisonous insects devoured the abnormal chakra, leaving not a trace behind.

Yes, Aburame Torune is the son of Aburame Shiguro.

He perfectly inherited the talent of the Poison Insect Master; no, it should be said that he surpassed his master.

From a young age, his body was inhabited by a highly toxic nano-sized venomous insect called the "Phosphorus Worm." This is a variant of the "Phosphorus Worm," which can only survive within biological cells and reproduces by destroying those cells. Its lethality is terrifying. Even his father, Shiro Aburame, who is also a venomous insect user, dared not, and could not, easily approach his child.

Both are poisonous insects.

Aburame Shiguro's poisonous insects were cultivated by himself based on the Parasitic Waste. Although the poison was extremely potent, it was still a poison in the conventional sense, a toxin that could be neutralized by an antidote. However, the Parasitic Waste in Aburame Torone's body, though called a poisonous insect, did not release toxins. Instead, it directly destroyed the target's biological cells to reproduce, thereby achieving the effect of killing the enemy. To put it somewhat far-fetchedly, being killed by the Parasitic Waste and being killed by a sword are essentially the same type of thing.

In other words, there is no antidote for phosphorus worms. The only way to save them is to quickly remove them before they spread to vital organs, or to cut off the parts that have been invaded by the worms to prevent further spread.

Of course, there are gains and losses.

Shiro Aburame's poisonous insects can be released from her body to fight.

However, the Phosphorus-Bacteria inside Aburame Torune's body cannot survive in the air; they can only survive in biological cells. If you want to inject the Phosphorus-Bacteria into an enemy's body, you can only do so by taking advantage of the moment when limbs come into contact.

That is,

Aburame Torune was also a ninja skilled in close combat.

It is the same type as Zuo Jin.

"······elder brother?"

Suddenly, Zuo Jin seemed to have gone mad, screaming wildly, "Brother? Brother? Answer me! Answer me now!" Countless black curse marks crawled up his face, and his whole body exuded an extremely ominous aura.

"You masked bastard, what have you done? Where is my brother?"

Zuo Jin was enraged.

He lunged at Aburame Torune, brandishing his fists.

"elder brother?"

The oil-producing woman frowned, inwardly cursing her bad luck, wondering if she had stumbled upon a lunatic.

Why did she suddenly ask me for a brother?

What the hell is going on?

Where am I supposed to find an 'older brother' for this guy who doesn't seem to be very bright? Seriously, doesn't this guy even notice that his fists have turned black?

He calmly watched Zuo Jin rush towards him, without even making a move to defend himself.

Because there's absolutely no need to do that kind of thing.

The phosphorus-destroying insects have spread to the point that even if he were to collect all of them now, it would be too late to reverse the situation.

When he was about two meters away from Aburame Torune, Sakon stumbled, tripped, and fell to the ground with a thud at Aburame Torune's feet. His body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and a muffled, painful roar escaped his throat. He struggled to lift his head, glaring at Aburame Torune, and questioned him once more: "You bastard, you did what to me, what to my brother... what did you do?"

Zuo Jin doesn't understand.

Why did the eldest brother, Ukon, who has always been hopeless and unsuccessful, fail this time?

Despite having awakened a bloodline limit called "Parasitic Demon Destruction Technique" during Orochimaru's experiments, Ukon possesses the terrifying ability to automatically decompose and reconstruct cells or proteins within his body using chakra. By dispersing his own body, he can then enter the enemy's body and destroy their meridian system.

It is precisely because of the terrifying nature of this ability,

Only then were the two brothers able to stand out from Orochimaru's thousands of experimental subjects, escaping the tragic fate of being the lowest-level experimental materials, just like Tayuya and Jirobo, and becoming Orochimaru's trusted subordinates.

Normally, Ukon would merge into Sakon's body and sleep. This way, in battle, Ukon could stealthily merge into the enemy's body during close combat, then erode and destroy the enemy's cells, causing a slow and painful death...

Logically speaking,

This is how it should develop!

but,

Ukon's aura vanished in less than two seconds after he invaded the masked man's body. The Parasitic Demon Destruction Technique had no effect whatsoever, and he was now inexplicably unable to move, feeling excruciating pain all over his body, as if he were being torn apart by a thousand knives.

He couldn't understand it.

I completely cannot understand why it turned out this way.

"Feng, are you alright?"
