He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

"Phew." Igogen blew on the light stick and slowly looked down at Hozuki Mishin, who had fallen asleep on the ground.

"The power of technology."

The Ninja World is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. Even the remote and impoverished Land of Snow has developed a remarkable technological tree, complete with refrigerators and color TVs.

You can't make a Dyson ball, but you can still buy a high-priced cheering stick.

He originally intended to 'reward' those energetic students at the ninja academy. After all, ninja academy students are tough and resilient, and if he messed with them, their families would have to thank him.

【Your mercy has allowed the ignorant to deeply understand the wisdom of the will of a hegemon, O Sun!】

Looking at Hozuki Mizushin lying on the ground, Isogen was quite distressed.

Sigh, having too much Yin or Yang attribute isn't a good thing either.

In terms of combat experience, he was definitely inferior to these ninjas who had tasted blood on the edge of a knife. In particular, the ninjas of Kirigakure were driven by a bloodthirsty fanaticism from the very core of their being. The Blood Mist Village didn't just start with Yagura Karatachi; there were signs of it before, but it was intensified and catalyzed by the mysterious masked man.

His current situation is that both his software and hardware are overpowered, but his player skills and awareness are not yet fully matched, which puts him at a disadvantage against opponents of the same level.

But then again.

The tradition in the cultivation world is that the strong bully the weak and the powerful oppress the weak; this is an unchanging truth throughout the ages.

A challenge beyond one's level?

I prefer to bully the weak.

Chapter 37 Explosive Tag Specialist

Wuxian's favorite game is the one where he dominates.

Other Hidden Mist ninjas, led by Konoha's White Fang, all offered their heads and returned to the underworld.

In theory, three elite Jonin can fight a Kage and kill the Kage of a village.

But the Kage who could be killed like that were the floor tiles of the Kage. The abilities of the Kage of the five great villages were not a big secret to those who were well-informed. They were still able to remain unscathed and firmly hold their positions as Kage of their respective villages. Each of them was an outstanding Kage.

Sakumo Hatake was in his prime, possessing extremely formidable combat strength. He managed to kill the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure, and escape unscathed, earning him a great reputation. His strength far surpassed that of the young Sannin among the Kage.

Isogen gripped the shoulders of Hozuki Suigetsu, whose entire body was numb from the electric shock, and applied a simple body-binding sealing technique. He then extended a sharp chakra scalpel from his right palm and began to finely chop Hozuki Suigetsu into minced meat.

"what!"

The eerie cries, like the hooting of an owl, echoed through the forest. The noise and the shrillness of the sound sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Fifty Strings is neither a butcher nor an assassin; he's more like a scientist meticulously examining a precision instrument and making modifications from time to time.

Thin slices of meat, as thin as cicada wings, were stacked up, with efficiency and cutting skills far exceeding those of Akimichi Ichizoku yakiniku.

When his shouts subsided slightly, Uchiha Itsukushima stepped forward a few paces, his face fierce, and shouted sharply.

"Will you tell me or not!"

Hozuki Suishin's eyes bulged, her breath was weak, and she looked like she was about to cry but had no tears: "Go ahead and ask!"

Uchiha Itsukushima paused, instinctively asking, "Didn't we ask?"

Hozuki Suishin didn't even have the strength to roll her eyes.

Uchiha Itsukushima wasn't embarrassed, since he wasn't the one in pain. He looked at Igarashi Yoko, who was slowly wiping the blood splattered on his arm with a white towel, and then at the calm and collected Hatake Sakumo.

Finally, we return to Hozuki Mizushin's tendons, which remained vibrant and pulsating even after being cut open.

That was the effect of Yu Ge using the Palm Immortal Technique while cutting with his knife.

"How did you, from Kirigakure, end up coming from the Land of Grass?"

Next to the Land of Grass are the Land of Rain and the Land of Waterfall, and beyond that is the Land of Earth. The Land of Water, where Kirigakure is located, is opposite the Land of Earth. In between are several countries, including Konoha. It's clear that coming all this way to this place is not for a picnic or spring outing.

It's not that Uchiha Itsukushima looked down on Kirigakure. Not counting Konoha's numerous battles against multiple opponents, Kirigakure was nowhere to be seen during the Second Shinobi World War when Konoha was fighting against numerous powerful forces. The most Kirigakure people you saw were either on normal missions or taking advantage of the chaos of the war.

The arrogant Uchiha clan scoffed at these guys who secretly caused trouble by taking advantage of their geographical location.

At least the Hidden Cloud Village could cause trouble openly and honestly. Their dark skin, characteristic of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, offered almost no hiding place in the eyes of ninjas skilled in intelligence work.

“We have intelligence indicating that important information from Iwagakure has been taken away by spies, and the Mizukage has dispatched us to intercept it.”

Three Jonin and several Chunin, what a luxurious lineup.

The current ninja world is one year after the end of the Second Shinobi World War. During this year, the atmosphere in each village has eased slightly, but they are still on guard. Unless there are special circumstances, if they encounter enemy ninjas outside, they will almost always kill them if they have the chance.

The fact that Kirigakure could muster such a force, while ensuring the smooth operation of the village's mission system and the perfection of its security measures, is based on unconfirmed intelligence.

It has a touch of humor.

"...There weren't originally this many, but later we discovered traces of the Byakugan and confirmed that it was the main family, so the others gradually came to join us."

It was the eye-rolling that caused the trouble.

The Byakugan's war potential is so strong that other ninja villages might as well forgo other bloodline limits, but the Byakugan is essential if possible.

This is the experience gained by countless people who suffered from being looked down upon during the war.

"Who provided you with the intelligence?"

"I don't know, but I heard it was a rogue ninja from Konoha."

The term "rogue ninja" touches the DNA of ninjas who originated from Konoha.

Rogue ninjas are not uncommon; in fact, their numbers are so large that they are related to the establishment of the gold exchange. Rogue ninjas from the great ninja villages are all talented individuals with eloquent speech.

Apart from Kumogakure, the other four villages systematically and almost equally supplied the ninja world with roughly the same number of rogue ninjas.

Several people looked at each other.

Assuming that the rogue ninja's goal was to use the spy carrying important information about Iwagakure to cause local unrest and escape, then why would Hozuki Mishin and the other Kirigakure members be here?

"The mission is important, but it's not as important as being glared at," Hozuki Sui said confidently.

The success rate of that mission is uncertain, and it might even lead to a confrontation between Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

Even if the two countries are not adjacent and Iwagakure is unable to directly attack Kirigakure due to the natural barrier of Kirigakure, wouldn't a Byakugan with huge war potential be more appealing than these uncontrollable risks?

After Hozuki Mizushin bluntly revealed the information she knew, she remained quiet like a sloth.

Uchiha Itsukushima activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

He wasn't lying.

This is one of the reasons why Hozuki Suishin doesn't try to lie; she can't let go of that master who cuts flesh with a chakra scalpel...

The Sharingan excels in intelligence gathering and hypnosis, and the abilities of the three-tomoe Sharingan are widely recognized throughout the ninja world.

If he were in good condition, he would be confident in resisting the Sharingan's hypnosis, but since he's not in good condition right now...

He didn't want to experience the horrific scene of being sliced ​​apart piece by piece by the chakra scalpel again.

As for why he didn't use his Sharingan to control it immediately, it was because he was worried that his brain had been sealed, and if it was touched, it would immediately 'poon'.

After finding out where the Jonin who covered the rear had gone, Hozuki Mishin, a high-ranking secret technique Jonin from Kirigakure, died.

The body was wrapped in a scroll that the person was carrying.

The corpses of ninjas are extremely important resources, and the corpses of bloodline ninjas are even more precious.

Isogen casually collected the explosive tags and other supplies he had found on the corpse.

Sakumo Hatake called out to Hiashi Hyuga and the others, who had obediently moved aside, and brought them to his side.

"We are currently on a mission and cannot take you back to the village. Can you contact the village?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly. Protective measures are essential for the main branch of the Hyuga clan when they go out for training.

He caught a glimpse of Yu Ge, who seemed to be deep in thought, and was secretly alarmed.

To possess such terrifying combat power at such a young age—a genius! An absolute genius!

He had seen Fifty Strings a few times, but wasn't familiar with them.

He is sixteen years old this year, the age when he should be out in the world. In addition, he has no connection with the Hyuga clan and Isogen, except for a few times when he has seen Isogen escorting Hyuga Mizuki home.

He didn't take the child seriously back then, but now it seems that he was the one who wasn't taken seriously!

A chakra scalpel hundreds of meters long?

Who has the chakra to squander like that?

"You've been silent since just now, are you thinking about something?"

After a brief rest, the group continued their journey towards the Land of Rain. During this time, Hatake Sakumo looked at Igorō, who was deep in thought, and asked him a question.

"I'm calculating how many explosive tags it would take to blow Konoha away," Igarashi replied casually.

Just as Sakumo Hatake was about to nod, he suddenly realized something.

"Um?!"

wrong!

Chapter 38 Long Time No See, Dean

"How could you have such a dangerous idea!?" Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath and suddenly realized that the Hokage had specifically told him to be careful of Ivy Gate before they set off.

I initially thought it was just the Hokage valuing geniuses, but who would have thought that while he did value them, it was only in this particular aspect.

Several Uchiha silently bowed to him. The Uchiha respected the strong, and apart from Minato Namikaze, the two leaders were insurmountable mountains for them.

Minato Namikaze was startled.

"Isn't it obvious? The person capable of carrying out such an important intelligence mission was not discovered long ago, but was discovered only after the so-called rogue ninja appeared."

Fifty strings move with a casual attitude, lightly touching the ground with their toes, their movements graceful and elegant.

"It's obvious which family produced the rogue ninja."

No one present was a fool.

Having experienced the Mist Ninja incident, they all had varying degrees of understanding of the complexity of this rendezvous mission.
