Uchiha’s God of Muscle - Chapter 218
In the Land of Fire, there is a temple in the remote mountains and forests.
The Konoha government-in-exile is hiding here.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was used to living a life of fine clothing, fine food, and being served by others. After becoming the king of a subjugated country, he was unable to adapt to the life of escape. Fortunately, he found this temple.
In order to protect the exiled government, one of the twelve guardian ninjas of the daimyo, a monk named Chiriku, disguised himself as a temple abbot.
In the back hall deep in the temple, everyone in Konoha, led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, is concentrating on studying forbidden techniques——
The Edo Tensei.
It is an S-level forbidden psychic technique. It can recall the soul of the dead ninja from the pure land to the human world, attach it to the reincarnation container, and resurrect it in a physical form.
The second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama developed the Edo Tensei. He used it many times during his lifetime and became famous in the ninja world with this technique.
However, the reputation of this technique is not very good.
Many people use words like “despicable” and “evil” to comment on Senju Tobirama, and they despise him as a person. Even his eldest brother Senju Hashirama said that the Edo Tensei is not a good ninjutsu.
After all.
In the final analysis, this technique desecrates the body and soul of the deceased, making people unable to live in peace even after death. It is indeed extremely immoral.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is known as the “Professor of Ninjutsu” and has mastered thousands of ninjutsu, but learning the forbidden art of Edo Tensei also poses extreme difficult for him.
After so many days, there is still no big progress.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had to lament that the Second Hokage was a true genius, and as a disciple, he could not match him.
At this moment, Jiraiya, who had gone out to spy on information, hurriedly returned to the temple.
From his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen learned about the major events that happened in the ninja world during this period.
All related to the Uchiha clan.
“Are these things…all true?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt unbelievable.
Although both Uchiha Dan and Shisui were dead, the Uchiha clan emerged with four pairs of kaleidoscopes, controlled three tailed beast jinchūriki, and even used the first Hokage’s Wood Golem technique.
Uchiha’s strength is increasing day by day, and even the five major ninja villages are unable to do anything. It is simply terrifying.
The good news is.
Uchiha has attracted the attention of the entire ninja world with the power of his clan. In contrast, no one cares about Konoha’s government-in-exile.
After pondering for a moment.
“Remember, don’t tell the Daimyo these things, otherwise he will be stupid again and clamor to find the Uchiha clan to help him restore his country.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen warned Jiraiya.
“Don’t worry, I have already explained it to the others.”
Jiraiya nodded.
We have to speed up the progress.
Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that the situation in the ninja world is constantly changing and turbulent all the time. If he does not have enough power, he can only be a spectator.
In order not to miss the opportunity, in order to save Konoha, I can only take the liberty of disturbing the dead and rely on the power of the ancestors.
Thinking of this.
“I’ll trouble you next.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya with a serious face, took out a prepared list and handed it to the latter.
Jiraiya took it and looked at it, his expression suddenly shocked.
The names above include the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina, Hatake Sakumo…
Basically, it includes the famous and powerful people in the history of Konoha.
Jiraiya also knew that the prerequisite for performing Edo Tensei was to extract a certain amount of the body of the deceased. Under the current circumstances, to put it simply and straightforwardly, it is——
Grave robbery.
This kind of behavior that lacks great virtue is difficult for Jiraiya’s character to accept, but for the sake of Konoha, he has to do it.
“As long as we can resurrect the people on this list, with their help, we will definitely be able to defeat the four great ninja villages, oust Danzo, and retake Konoha.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, his eyes burning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were not the only ones hiding under the undercurrent of the ninja world.
The country of birds.
In a quiet forest somewhere, a flock of birds suddenly started flying.
The raging water rose from the ground and soon formed a huge lake.
Water escape: Exploding water and rushing waves.
Kisame Hoshigaki stood on the top of the water flow with his sword on his shoulder, looking down at the enemy below.
It was a middle-aged man with a rough appearance, wearing purple clothes and a breastplate, with a ponytail and a big beard. He looked very individual.
He is the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Roshi of Iwagakure Village.
Due to a personality disagreement with Tsuchikage Onoki, Roshi ran away from the village of Iwagakure earlier and became a wandering monk.
He was once targeted by Akatsuki and hunted by Biwa Juzo, but he successfully counterattack, causing the latter to die.
“Here we go again, you guys are really endless.”
Roshi frowned and said impatiently. Then he glanced at the edge of the woods not far away and found that there were two more theatergoers.
It’s Obito and Kakuzu.
Let’s kill the guy in front of us first.
Roshi withdrew his gaze, his eyes condensed, and he immediately formed a seal.
Chi chi chi chi.
In an instant, a red tail grew out from behind him, and his entire body was wrapped in a layer of high-temperature lava, activating the Molten Chakra Mode.
Then, as soon as he stepped on the water, he shot up into the sky like a cannonball and shot towards Kisame.
“interesting.”
Kisame grinned, picked up Samehada and stepped into the water, slashing at Roshi fiercely.
Boom.
After a big battle, the magma collided with the water flow, causing steam to rise into the sky.
Wait until the moisture dissipates.
Boom.
Roshi, who lost his fighting power, was thrown in front of Obito.
“This guy is very strong. It’s not easy to catch him alive.” Kisame said, while retracting his Samehada.
Roshi raised his head with difficulty, looked at Obito’s face, and said slowly:
“I know you, you are that Uchiha Obito…”
Obito’s information had long been made public by the Uchiha clan and printed into leaflets and distributed to the entire ninja world.
“Then you should also know that Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan can easily control tailed beasts.”
Obito said expressionlessly, and as soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet kaleidoscope appeared in his eyes.
Roshi’s eyes suddenly became dull, and Obito used illusion to control him.
Obito has also heard about what happened in the ninja world recently.
The Uchiha madmen all transplanted Hashirama cells, created four pairs of kaleidoscopes, and controlled three Jinchuuriki, with the help of Tobi.
Beating the ninja alliance to a pulp.
The most terrifying thing is that Uchiha Dan has not taken action yet.
Obito couldn’t help but become more and more anxious, and felt a huge sense of crisis.
Therefore, after he ordered Zetsu to find out the whereabouts of the four-tailed Jinchuuriki, he took the first step and took control of Roshi.
lest he be robbed by Uchiha again sooner or later.
……
Who is Uchiha’s next attack target? Iwagakure, Kumogakure, or Konoha itself?
This is an issue that the entire ninja world is concerned about.
With Sunagakure’s lessons learned, all the major ninja villages immediately returned to defend their homeland, hoarding heavy troops and laying down layers of defense lines.
Everyone tensed up, waiting for Uchiha’s next move.
But surprisingly, after some time passed, the ninja world was calm and nothing happened.
The reason is actually very simple.
The Uchiha clan is also human and can feel tired.
During this period, Uchiha first left Paradise Island and rushed to the coalition base camp, and then marched long distances to attack Sunagakure at night.
After thousands of kilometers of running and continuous high-intensity battles, even if all Uchiha members had Hashirama cells transplanted, they were still flesh and blood and had gradually reached the limit of their physical strength.
Moreover, it is obviously a very unwise act to launch an attack forcefully while knowing that all major ninja villages have deployed heavy troops and waiting for the Uchiha clan to surrender themselves.
So.
As the leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku decided to find a place to rest temporarily.
Finally, the Uchiha clan returned to the Kingdom of river and came to a deep mountain forest far away from human habitation to camp and rest.
Even if the enemy realizes Uchiha’s intentions and sends troops to encircle and suppress him again, he will not be able to find this place for a while.
After Uchiha recharges his energy and returns his physical strength to its peak state, the next action will inevitably be another thunderous blow to the enemy.
In the camp.
As a whirlpool-like fluctuation appeared in the space, Dan, who had been sitting in the Kamui space, finally returned to the ninja world.
“Uncle.”
Itachi shouted, walked forward, and reported Uchiha’s actions during this period to Dan in detail.
“Hm.”
Dan listened, nodding from time to time, his expression always calm.
What surprised Itachi was that after listening to it, he suddenly asked:
“You said that you encountered a caravan claiming to be a wandering people in the Kingdom of River?”
“Uh, yes.”
Itachi was stunned for a moment and replied. He didn’t expect that his uncle would be most concerned about this trivial matter.
“What’s the name of their leader?” Dan asked again.
“It’s an old man named Yoshihiko. He also has a pet ferret. Uncle, do you… know him?”
After Itachi answered truthfully, he asked curiously.
Dan shook his head and said calmly:
“I just heard some legends about the wandering people.”
In fact.
Through Itachi’s description, Dan already knew the origin of the caravan.
About hundreds of years ago, in the forests of the Kingdom of River, an ancient empire was born, which was much more powerful than the five major countries today.
The secret of the empire’s prosperity is hidden in a stone called Lightning stone.
The Stone is a crystal-like mineral vein buried deep underground, accidentally discovered by the founder of the empire.
It is said that it contains huge life energy, which can not only quickly ripen crops and bring about a bumper harvest, but also cure all diseases, make the body strong and live long, and even have the effect of reviving the dead.
Thus, it became the cornerstone of the empire’s glory.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.
While people are enjoying the various benefits brought by the lightning Stone, they have overlooked one point – the powerful energy it contains can also cause huge damage.
Later, due to an incorrect use, a space-wide disaster swept across the entire empire.
Overnight, the empire was destroyed.
It was like a dream.
As a time traveler who is familiar with the plot, Dan naturally knows that the so-called lightning Stone is actually an underground mineral vein formed after absorbing a large amount of natural energy.
It just so happens that he has been exploring the senjutsu recently.
If this kind of stone really exists, it should be very helpful to Dan.
Thinking of this, he ordered his nephew:
“Pay attention. If you encounter that caravan again or hear news about them, remember to tell me as soon as possible.”
“Well, I understand.”
Itachi nodded solemnly.
Although he was curious as to why his uncle was interested in that caravan, he didn’t ask any more questions and just kept Dan’s instructions in mind.
At the same time.
Since being separated from the Uchiha clan, the Wandering People’s caravan had no dangers along the way and finally arrived at Konoha Village smoothly.
As a result, as soon as he entered the village, Yoshihiko was shocked when he heard the news of the destruction of Sunagakure.
He originally thought that Uchiha was going to flee to the depths of the desert of the Land of Wind to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the ninja coalition forces, but he did not expect that they would directly destroy Sunagakure Village.
He was still praying for the Uchiha clan, but now he realized that those guys were a group of out-and-out murderers.
After realizing this, Yoshihiko once again summoned the caravan members and told them privately——
Don’t tell anyone about the caravan’s encounter with the Uchiha clan, otherwise they will get angry.
the following few days.
The caravan took a rest in Konoha and purchased a large amount of goods, preparing to transport them back to the Country of Wind for sale and earn the price difference.
At the same time, considering the dangers they might encounter on the road, the caravan spent a lot of money to hire new guards from Konoha.
Everything is ready.
However, despite Yoshihiko’s extreme caution, trouble still came to the door the night before departure.
And it’s big trouble.
Clang.
Several ninjas wearing armor and animal masks broke into Yoshihiko’s room and surrounded him.
Yoshihiko’s expression changed. He recognized these people as Konoha Anbu, and his heart suddenly jumped up and down, feeling extremely uneasy.
“Come with us.”
An Anbu spoke coldly, with a tough tone that did not allow Yoshihiko to make any refusal.
“OK.”
Yoshihiko took a deep breath and responded calmly.
Ten minutes later.
Under the guide of the Anbu, or escort, Yoshihiko walked into the Hokage building, came to the Hokage’s office, and saw an old man on crutches.
“I show my respect to the Hokage-sama.”
Yoshihiko bowed quickly, not daring to look directly into the other person’s eyes.
“Relax, and tell me wht you know.”
Danzo said calmly, with a sense of majesty in his calm voice.
Yoshihiko was shocked when he heard this and slowly raised his head.
He only hesitated for less than a second before breaking his promise to the Uchiha clan and telling the truth about the caravan’s encounter with the Uchiha.
For a businessman like Yoshihiko, an oath is like a toothache curse, and flexibility is his way to survive.
Although he felt a slight sense of guilt in his heart, Yoshihiko told himself that even if Konoha learned the information about Uchiha, there was a high probability that nothing could be done.
“Oh?”
Faced with Yoshihiko’s confession, Danzo seemed a little surprised, but then he shook his head, “That’s not what I’m talking about.”
Yoshihiko was stunned for a moment and said with a puzzled look on his face: “Then I don’t know what you want to ask.”
“Lightning Stone.”
Danzo only said two words, and Yoshihiko’s expression changed and he took two steps back.
At this time.
A drunk man was brought into the office by two Anbu. Yoshihiko recognized the other person as someone from the caravan at a glance, and his heart suddenly sank, and he finished shouting.
Sure enough, an Anbu looked at Yoshihiko and said:
“This guy drank too much in the izakaya and told others that he was a remnant of the empire. As long as he found the lightning Stone left by his ancestors, he could master invincible power and even unify the ninja world.”
Another Anbu picked up the kunai and placed it directly on Yoshihiko’s neck, with a cold light flashing in his eyes:
“Tell Lord Hokage everything about the Lightning Stone. If you don’t tell us, we can still torture you and then kill everyone in the caravan.”
Facing the threat, Yoshihiko showed a helpless smile.
He had no choice.
In order to survive, he could only choose to tell everything and assure Danzo that the Stone was real.
Danzo’s eyes lit up, and he ordered the Anbu on the spot:
“Send someone to follow them to the border of the Kingdom of river, search for the ruins of the ancient empire, and retrieve the Stone for me!”
