Rasa was struggling to fight Orochimaru when suddenly a man rushed out from the side and severely injured Orochimaru.
Orochimaru managed to force the two back and escaped with the main force.
The man returned to the Sand Village camp with Rasa.
He removed his straw hat, revealing a pair of red eyes, and said to Rasa, "Lord Kazekage, I've come to negotiate terms."
"I hope you can liberate the Blood Pond Clan from the Uchiha Clan's imprisonment, and my clansmen and I are willing to serve you."
Rasa was overjoyed to hear this. A Jonin with a bloodline limit, capable of severely injuring the Sannin, was willing to join Sunagakure, and he also had an entire clan behind him.
Although the three Sannin were severely injured in a sneak attack, and their families still need the Sand Village to rescue them, this is a sure-fire deal.
Luo Sha immediately agreed to his request, promising to try to save the Blood Pool Clan regardless of the outcome of the war.
He was then assigned to the camp where the One-Tailed Beast was located, to guard the One-Tailed Beast Jinchuriki nearby.
Although he didn't become a commander because he joined halfway through his career, his status is by no means low.
-----------------
Let's go back to the present.
Looking at Konoha's army, Blood Pond Ryusuke narrowed his eyes, preparing for battle.
Chapter 51 A Near-Perfect Jinchūriki, Bunbuk
The Sand Village army, relying on their camp, set up a tight defensive formation. The Jonin took their positions, leading the Chunin in preparation for the impending battle.
At the forefront of the Sand Ninja army stood three men: the defense commander, Jonin Kousuke; the Jonin of the Blood Pond Clan, Blood Pond Ryusuke; and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, monk Bunfuku.
Fenfu looked around, and the scene before him filled him with helplessness and sorrow.
He said painfully, "Why fight each other? Couldn't all this killing be avoided if people understood each other?"
"Endless war will only drag Sunagakure into hell. What have we gained after countless warriors have died in the war?"
His voice was filled with sorrow and pity; the thought of becoming one of the executioners tormented him.
"There's nothing left but pain and sorrow. Why can't we develop peacefully?"
Bunpuku recalled the damage that past wars had caused to Sunagakure, with countless people dying and countless others being displaced.
The Sand Village has never gained any advantage in the war, and even the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has gradually become disappointed, with rumors already circulating that the Sand Village's budget has been reduced.
"Old monk, what do you know? Just obediently be your ultimate weapon. Do you understand the price of resistance? Your temple and the orphans you adopted are all being taken care of by the village."
Kōsuke stared coldly at Bunfuku and threatened him fiercely.
Bunpuku was not a ninja, but a true monk. During his spiritual connection with Shukaku, Shukaku even praised him for his qualities being similar to those of the Sage of Six Paths, who loved all things equally.
He was not someone who sought fame and fortune. The reason he went to the battlefield and became a killing machine was because the temple where he came from and the war orphans he adopted had been taken advantage of by Sunagakure.
Just like the future Yakushi Nonou, who was forced to become Danzo's spy because of the orphanage and the orphans she adopted, and eventually died at the hands of Yakushi Kabuto.
Fenfu had no other choice. If he was unwilling to go to the battlefield, his temple would not receive any offerings, and the orphans he adopted would be driven out and die alone on the roadside.
Left with no other choice, he could only become a weapon of war for the Sand Village, killing for the sake of the village. His heart would be filled with pain, but he hoped to win a future for the children.
"I really am just a hypocrite," Fenfu muttered to himself, then silently recited the Rebirth Mantra, praying for his impending death and hoping that the deceased could be reborn in an era without war.
"Old monk, you're still the same. You'll have a hard life like this." Shukaku said helplessly as it looked at Bunpuku's reflection in the sealed space.
Although Bunpuku was not a perfect Jinchūriki, he maintained a very friendly relationship with Shukaku.
If it weren't for his own weak chakra, he would have been the first perfect Jinchūriki, capable of communicating with the One-Tailed Shukaku, instead of Killer Bee, the Eight-Tailed Jinchūriki, and Yagura, the Three-Tailed Jinchūriki.
"I'm counting on you for the battle to come, Shukaku," Bunpuku thought to himself. He clasped his hands together, knowing that for the sake of his beloved, he had no choice but to get his hands dirty.
"Leave it to me, old monk." Shukaku wagged its tail. Although it loathed the Sand Village ninja, it also disliked Konoha. To help its friend, it didn't mind going on a killing spree.
Or rather, Shukaku, who doesn't yet accept humanity, is very happy that it can kill at will.
Kousuke looked at the Konoha ninja army and solemnly said to Ryusuke Chinoike, "Ryusuke, you and several other Jonin will deal with Orochimaru later. This time, we must keep him here."
"Last time, we accidentally let him escape, which dragged the war into this long. Otherwise, we would already be in the Land of Fire. We absolutely cannot repeat the same mistake this time, understand?"
“Understood. I will definitely keep him this time. The wounds I inflicted on him last time won’t heal so easily,” Blood Pond Ryusuke replied.
Kosuke turned to look at Bunfuku, giving him a serious warning:
"Bunpuku, you're going to transform into the One-Tailed Beast and charge right into the middle of Konoha's army. Don't hold back, understand?"
Fenfu lowered his head, his tone heavy: "I will do it."
Shukaku said irritably from inside the sealed space, "This guy really makes me angry. If it weren't for your sake, I would have killed him the first time I came out."
"I'm sorry, Shukaku, it's my fault for binding you," Bunpuku said painfully to himself.
"Fine, I'll hold Konoha accountable for everything. I'm going to wipe them all out next." Shukaku laughed loudly in the sealed space, while Bunpuku watched helplessly, silently reciting scriptures.
"They're here. As expected, Orochimaru is leading the team. Our side is definitely the main attack point." Kousuke clenched his fist nervously.
He turned to the Sand Ninja and rallied them: "Don't be afraid, we still have the upper hand. As long as we hold out against the initial onslaught, our reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Oh!" the Sand Ninja shouted, their morale high.
In the previous battles, the Sand Village had not been at a disadvantage, and after Orochimaru and Tsunade were eliminated, they even dominated Konoha. Now, their momentum is unstoppable, and they are just waiting for reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack.
Orochimaru, leading the Konoha ninja world, stopped a kilometer in front of the Sand Village's defensive line. He looked at the three leaders and said to Shisui:
"It seems we don't need to search anymore; the other side has already stepped forward." Orochimaru stretched out his tongue, licked his lips, and said coldly.
"Shisui-kun, that man is yours to handle. Don't let him interfere with my battle with the One-Tailed Beast."
"Understood, Lord Orochimaru. This was a mistake by our Uchiha clan. I will eliminate it."
Shisui's firm reply was that the imprisoned clan had escaped their cage and nearly killed a key figure in the village. This was a stain on the Uchiha clan, and it could only be washed away with the blood of their enemies.
“Naoya-kun, you, along with Watanabe Keisuke and Suga Takahiro, will deal with the enemy commander, ‘Kamaitachi’ Kosuke.”
“That man’s Wind Release technique is superb and should not be underestimated. We don’t have a suitable ninja to counter him, so we can only rely on you to work together to hold him off.”
Orochimaru spoke solemnly to the other Jonin, his already gloomy and terrifying face becoming even colder.
"You must hold them off until I finish dealing with the first one."
"Yes, before I die, I will not let him interfere with you, sir." The others responded in unison, not daring to take Orochimaru's orders lightly.
"Attack!" Orochimaru shouted, taking the lead, with the ninja army following behind him, charging forward.
The ninjas from both sides began throwing kunai and shuriken at each other. The Jonin began to position themselves, making sure no Jonin from the opposing side was isolated and had the opportunity to slaughter Chunin.
Just as Blood Pond Ryusuke was about to charge at Orochimaru, Uchiha Shisui rushed out from the side and intercepted his movement.
“Your opponent is me!” Uchiha Shisui said coldly.
Chapter 52 Sharingan VS Blood Dragon Eye (For reader 20220702082813241)
“U...Chi...Ha…” Blood Pond Ryusuke looked into Uchiha Shisui’s eyes and said, word by word.
Upon seeing the Uchiha clan ninjas, he first felt a sense of fear, because the long history of imprisonment instilled a deep dread in all the ninjas of the Blood Pond towards the Uchiha.
However, this fear was quickly replaced by hatred and anger.
"After more than a century of imprisonment and the cries and deaths of countless clansmen, I must kill you, Uchiha ninja. This is the first step for our clan to return to the ninja world."
Blood Pond Ryusuke clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and said through gritted teeth.
If this shadow is not broken, even if the Blood Pool Clan escapes the Hell Valley of reality, they will still be trapped in the Hell Valley of their hearts.
"How did you escape from Hell Valley? Tell me, and I won't kill you." Uchiha Shisui didn't answer, but calmly asked in return.
Shisui must first figure out why Blood Pond Ryusuke left. Was the barrier damaged, or was there some other reason that allowed Blood Pond Ryusuke to leave?
During their long imprisonment, the Blood Pond clan must have harbored deep hatred for the Uchiha clan.
If Shisui put himself in their shoes, he would also hate it if his clan were imprisoned in a hellish place like Hell Valley, unable to leave for generations and unable to see a future.
If the barrier has truly failed, and the Blood Pond Clan has come to the ninja world, they will inevitably seek revenge against the Uchiha. He must warn his clansmen to be wary of attacks.
"I'll tell you when you're dead!" Blood Pond Ryusuke roared, "Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"
Blood Pond Ryusuke continuously spat out high-pressure wind balls from his mouth, shooting them towards Shisui. The wind balls were like machine gun fire, relentless and continuous.
Shisui dodged in an instant, his figure flashing behind Ryusuke like a ghost: "Uchiha Style: Gale Sword".
With a single swing of his sword, the enormous flaming blade hurtled towards Blood Pond Ryusuke.
Before Blood Pond Ryusuke could react, he was struck by the Flame Blade.
With a muffled thud, Blood Pond Ryusuke turned into blood and dissolved on the ground, filling the air with a bloody smell.
"What, it's actually a clone?" Shisui frowned, and his Sharingan began to quickly observe his surroundings, trying to detect anything unusual, but he found nothing.
"Blood Escape: Blood Thorns".
Suddenly, the blood that had been struck by Shisui burst forth, transforming into thorny spikes that hurtled straight at him.
Shisui truly lived up to his reputation as a genius of the Body Flicker Technique, dodging the attack from in front of the thorns at the last moment.
The thorns returned empty-handed, turning into blood once more and spilling onto the ground.
Blood Pond Ryusuke crawled up from the bushes beside him, his eyes fixed on Shisui, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He was just a hair's breadth away from inflicting a wound on Shisui.
"It seems I'm really unlucky. This age and this Body Flicker Technique must be Uchiha Shisui, who recently rose to fame in the Land of Water."
Ryusuke Chinoike was somewhat resentful of his luck; he had drawn the worst possible match and encountered an extremely agile type.
"Don't even think about it. I've already learned about the abilities of your Blood Dragon Eye from the clan and Lord Orochimaru. I won't suffer even the slightest injury."
Shisui looked at him coldly and said, as an enemy, the Uchiha naturally had information about the Blood Dragon Eye, and with Orochimaru's personal experience, Shisui had long since figured out his tactics.
The Blood Dragon Eye is an extremely powerful bloodline limit that can greatly enhance genjutsu abilities and allow the user to manipulate blood to unleash various special ninjutsu.
The most terrifying thing is that once the enemy bleeds, the Blood Dragon Eye can manipulate their blood and even turn them into human bombs.
Orochimaru had a cut on his body from being slashed by gold dust during his battle with Rasa.
It was originally a minor, insignificant injury that was almost healing on its own, but then Ryusuke Chinoike interfered, using the power of the Blood Dragon Eye to try and turn Orochimaru into a human bomb.
Orochimaru realized something was wrong and, like a hero cutting off his own arm, decisively used the Orochimaru-ryu Substitution Technique to refresh his condition and cut off the part of his soul that had been corrupted by the Blood Dragon Eye.
