He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

Fifty Strings has a small ambition: to upgrade the firecracker into a nuclear bomb once the Yin-Yang attribute is further enhanced.

Hatake Sakumo landed a successful blow and then closed in on Fifty Strings.

With one hand missing, Lao Zi's combat power plummeted.

The importance of hands to a ninja cannot be overstated. Hand seals, whether formed with one hand, two feet, or even eyelids, are not something ordinary people can do. Although Roshi is powerful, he is still young, and hand seals are not a skill that 'ordinary ninjas' of his age can master.

If he were to perfectly align with the Four-Tails in a later life, he would still possess overwhelming power, but he is still very young now.

His molten escape is weakening.

Lao Zi was already considering retiring.

Things developed in a way that far exceeded his expectations.

The kid in front of him was far stronger than he had imagined, and his methods were strange. There were also powerful enemies watching him closely. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to escape.

Given his status as a Jinchūriki, if the other party can capture him alive, they definitely will.

Although killing him would cause Iwagakure to lose one of its tailed beasts, Iwagakure still has one left. Moreover, tailed beasts can be resurrected after death. Now that Uzumaki Village has been destroyed, each clan has obtained a portion of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, making it much easier to seal tailed beasts and create jinchūriki than before.

With the war recently ended and villages in dire need of rebuilding, Konoha will surely use him to demand benefits from Iwagakure.

The ninja's most important mission share will definitely be included.

Although he and Onoki have a strained relationship, Iwagakure is where he grew up, and he has ties to the village. Iwagakure is not as wealthy as Konoha to begin with, and it would be a shame if he caused everyone to suffer.

With a sharp look in his eyes, just as Old Purple was about to forcibly extract the tailed beast's chakra to break through the blockade, Isogen suddenly stretched out his arms and waved them sharply in front of him. A cloud of powder, obscuring the sky, rushed towards him, and the wind made it even harder for him to react.

I took a big breath without warning.

"Poison?! Despicable!"

Wu Xian's expression was strange: "Old man, are you getting dementia?"

Who are they?

A ninja, huh?

If ninjas don't use poison, are they supposed to just go head-to-head and kill samurai?

Although most ninjas would easily defeat samurai, you can't forget the ninja's original profession!

"No wonder the people in your village ostracize you. With a brain like yours, I'd like to ostracize you too."

Old Zi's face darkened, but it was too late to break free of the restraints. The dust-raising technique of Fifty Strings had such a wide range that it had also enveloped him.

The powder he used was a sedative-hypnotic drug that he had carefully modified based on his current physical condition.

It causes muscle relaxation and weakness by inhibiting the central nervous system.

This was an extra-large version, and it was so effective that even Hiruzen Sarutobi praised it.

Yeah, the first person to try this thing was Naruto.

Cricket Naruto, tremble under the radiance of the Will of Conqueror!

Old Zi's eyes widened, and he bit his tongue hard, trying to forcefully extract his strength to take away Wu Shixian Yuge. Even he, as a Jinchūriki, didn't have the strength, and this brat had just absorbed it, so he definitely did now.

Boom!!

The fifty strings exploded.

The glint in Lao Zi's eyes faded.

So that's how you get through by refreshing your status and removing the effects of the drug!

He was truly powerless.

Regardless of psychological or external factors.

They were defeated by this crazy brat who had been bred in the ninja world for who knows how long.

Just admit it, damn it.

Fifty strings used the wind to send over several detonating tags.

Old Zi's muscles are weak, so he can only move his eyeballs.

That one glance made his eyes widen as if he had caught Onoki having sex with a wild woman.

Adding a sealing spell to an explosive tag—you're a genius!

Powerful sealing techniques are no less powerful than the Sharingan against tailed beasts. In particular, the Fifty Strings Sealing Technique comes from the orthodox Uzumaki teachings and is enhanced by strong Yin attribute, making it extremely valuable.

Sakumo Hatake and the others kept an eye on things from all sides, occasionally harassing the enemy, ready to join the battle head-on at any moment. Then they saw the bizarre scene of Isogen standing while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki lay down.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes flickered, and his expression was very serious. To the others, it seemed that he was thinking about the next steps.

however……

'Kids these days are really something else. I wonder how far Kakashi will go in the future. I don't expect him to be as strong as Igogami, but at least... hmm, I've decided, I'll add a few more courses to Kakashi's curriculum.'

and also.

'Has this Jinchūriki really been captured? Should we test him with the Thousand Years of Death technique?'

At that moment, Kakashi, who was one year old, was lying in a warm baby bed when a sudden chill forced him to open his clear eyes and stare at the familiar ceiling for a long time without saying a word.

Old Zi's pert buttocks tightened.

At this moment, within the realm of Fifty Strings' perception, a group of Root ninjas, all of whom were Special Jonin, were exchanging information with each other.

"The Four-Tails Jinchuriki failed and was captured."

"The plan has exceeded expectations, what should we do now?"

"Reporting to my lord, awaiting instructions."

"The strength of Yu Ge of Fifty Strings exceeds our expectations. Shall we proceed with the plan?"

"...The task is beyond the team's capabilities. We suggest returning to the village and awaiting further instructions."

"agree."

"agree."

Seeing the Root ninja Isogen retreating in an orderly manner in his senses, he was not surprised at all.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the Root organization. People often think that even if they face an impossible mission, Root ninjas will do everything in their power to complete it.

However, this is incorrect.

Those who can enter the Root are all elite ninjas, and each one used is one less available. In particular, this team is very strong, and each of them knows a secret technique. If they are lost in a mission with no reward, Danzo will be furious.

As everyone knows, Danzo's outburst caused all the major and minor ninja clans in Konoha to follow suit, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi was bound to get angry.

The era of the Great Furious.

Igarashi looked at the departing Root ninjas with a strange expression.

"Honestly, since you've come all this way, how could we not let you take something back with you?"

Chapter 48 If he's got the guts, let him attack!

Konoha, Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, conducted a serious inspection of whether the safety and fire prevention measures at the Konoha Village hot spring inn were in place.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and expressed his feelings.

"What a thoroughly enjoyable examination!"

"Lord Hokage, there are two secret letters." The Anbu placed two letters on the table.

Alas, happy times are always fleeting and beautiful.

He picked up the first secret letter and read it carefully. After a moment, he was furious.

Snapped!

"Ohnoki!"

The letter, when pieced together, was roughly a question from Onoki asking whether Konoha was going to go to war with Iwagakure.

The war had only ended a year ago. Had that old bald man, Onoki, gone mad?

Or is it that Iwagakure has so much money they don't know what to do with it?

After his anger subsided, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a deep sense of unease.

Iwagakure is no pushover.

In particular, the Hidden Stone Village under the rule of that bald old man Onoki practically treated ordinary ninjas as expendable resources.

If Isugen knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give me a thumbs up.

Old Deng, how far into the future can your crystal ball actually see?

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Raikage fought alone against 10,000 Iwagakure ninja for three days and three nights to cover the retreat of his comrades, eventually dying from exhaustion.

Those ten thousand ninjas were a trap set by Onoki specifically for the Third Raikage.

Although they weren't all killed, the Third Raikage's unreasonable and overwhelming strength resulted in heavy casualties. At that time, it was still a time of war, and Onoki's actions were completely driven by a desire for victory over personal safety.

Yeah, I don't care about other people's lives.

He sighed, opened the second secret letter, and looked distressed.

"Onoki, has he really lost his mind? If war really breaks out, no, at most it will be a small-scale local conflict, but it will still be disadvantageous to Konoha. Iwagakure is no weak village..."

With a look of confusion and seriousness, he quickly scanned the second secret letter, and two seconds later...

Snapped!

"Fight! If you're so capable, Onoki, then fight your way to the Land of Fire, fight your way to Konoha!"

The guards outside the door were startled by the commotion inside. They instinctively turned their heads and met each other's eyes, filled with doubt.

Is Konoha and Iwagakure about to go to war again?

The Thousand Hands Old House.

Mito Uzumaki's face at this moment was a mixture of surprise, shock, and emotion.
