Uchiha’s God of Muscle - Chapter 220
The battle was without any suspense and ended quickly.
The enemy’s powerful firepower was blocked by the four Susanoos. No matter how many bullets and artillery fire they fired, they could not harm the Uchiha clan at all.
When the two sides closed the distance, a hundred Uchiha elite ninjas completely eliminated the knights in less than a moment.
And captured the steel fortress.
This fortress can move quickly underground and has strong firepower. It can be said to be a mobile military fortress.
It is exactly what the Uchiha clan needs right now.
With this fortress, the Uchiha clan’s mobility has been improved again, and they can quickly travel to any place in the ninja world at any time to achieve strategic shifts.
This means that no matter how many troops the five major ninja villages gather, they will not be able to form an effective encirclement and suppression of Uchiha.
From now on.
The Uchiha clan will take the absolute initiative in this war against the entire ninja world.
Seeing Uchiha defeat the enemy with overwhelming force, Yoshihiko once again felt deeply shocked.
“Lord Fugaku, I really don’t know how to thank you…” He walked up to Fugaku and said very uneasily.
When Fugaku heard this, he just glanced at Yoshihiko lightly, and the scarlet kaleidoscope burst out with sharp light.
“!”
Yoshihiko was suddenly shaken and fell into a trance. It took him a while to return to reality.
He fell into Fugaku’s illusion and his memory was read by him.
“The Uchiha clan saved you twice, but you broke your promise and betrayed us to Danzo and Konoha. Do you have anything else to say?”
Fugaku looked at Yoshihiko expressionlessly and said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tetsubi on the side drew out his Ninja sword with a clang, and put the cold-gleaming blade on Yoshihiko’s neck.
As long as Fugaku gives the order, Yoshihiko’s head will be removed.
Uchiha is not a good person, especially for a treacherous guy like Yoshihiko, and he will not show mercy.
“…”
Yoshihiko was covered in cold sweat, his legs were shaking, and he was extremely frightened.
By now.
Perhaps there is only one way to save the lives of him and everyone in the caravan.
Thinking of this, Yoshihiko swallowed his saliva and quickly said to Fugaku:
“Lord Fugaku, I know where the lightning Stone is. I am willing to hand it over to Uchiha and beg for your forgiveness…”
Is the lightning Stone something that Konoha Anbu and those knights are vying for?
Fugaku looked at Dan aside, seeking his brother-in-law’s opinion with his eyes.
Dan nodded.
Fugaku understood and turned to look at Yoshihiko again:
“In that case, let me use the lightning Stone you mentioned in exchange for your life and the lives of the wandering people.”
More than ten minutes later.
More than ten kilometers away from the woods just now, there is a beautiful valley that is rarely visited.
The valley is full of vegetation, birds are chirping and flowers are fragrant, and a small stream flows through. It looks quiet and peaceful.
But this tranquility was quickly broken by a loud noise coming from the ground.
Rumble.
As the ground shook violently, a flock of birds flew up in the valley. Immediately afterwards, a huge steel fortress emerged from the ground.
Several figures walked out of the fortress.
As soon as the ferret Niroko landed, he became very excited. He lay on the ground and sniffed fiercely, and then ran all the way to the depths of the valley.
“As long as you follow it, you can find the location of the lightning Stone.”
Yoshihiko explained to everyone in Uchiha, showing a flattering smile.
No wonder he cherished this ferret so much. It turned out to be the truth.
Soon.
Everyone followed Niroko and came to a mediocre piece of grass. They saw it circling in circles, jumping and jumping, looking very anxious.
Tetsubi stepped forward, picked up Niroko, formed a seal with one hand, and sprayed hot flames from his mouth.
Sure enough.
After burning the grass, complex patterns appeared under the grass, flowing with a faint light, which seemed to be some kind of sealing technique.
Right here.
According to Yoshihiko, buried under this seal is the lightning Stone vein left behind by the ancient empire.
With the protection of the sealing formation, the energy of the mine was not leaked, and it was able to be buried here safely for hundreds of years without anyone discovering it.
He stepped forward.
The main function of this seal is to hide the breath of lightning Stone. Its defensive strength is not high. As long as it is successfully found, it is not difficult to crack.
Then, Dan raised a fist and smashed it towards the ground.
There was a loud bang.
Dan’s seemingly ordinary punch shook the entire valley, and the ground beneath his feet sank instantly, forming a huge pit.
Whoosh.
Dan fell into the pit, looked up and looked around, and immediately saw a sea of blue light.
Those are pieces of sky-blue crystal ore, inlaid on the surrounding walls, giving off a faint glow.
Dan stretched out his hand to take down a piece of ore, and immediately felt a familiar energy coming from the palm of his hand, making his whole body warm and full of strength.
Yes, it is natural energy.
The members of the previous knight order used the lightning Stone to transform into werewolves, bats, apes, etc., greatly enhancing their own abilities.
Similar to the sage mode, it can also be regarded as a use of natural energy.
“Dan.”
At this time, Fugaku, Tetsubi, Itachi and others also entered the underground one after another and looked at the ore on the wall in surprise.
After rough calculation.
The number of lightning’s Stones stored here is much greater than Dan imagined, and the energy contained is extremely huge. If used properly, it can be enough to rebuild a rich and powerful country.
With so much ore, in addition to being used to practice senjutsu and arm the Uchiha clan, the rest can also be used as energy for the steel fortress.
This trip has been fruitful.
Soon, the entire underground mineral vein was moved into the steel fortress by the Uchiha clan, without even a piece of ore falling.
“I’m going back.”
After taking away part of the lightning Stone, Dan activated his Kamui again and teleported himself into the Kamui space.
At this time.
“Meow.”
A ninja cat appeared and sent information to Itachi.
After receiving the information, Itachi stuffed two bills into the cat’s paws as payment for running errands. The ninja cat licked its paws and left with satisfaction.
“Father.”
Itachi came over and reported to Fugaku, “Kakashi said that they have followed Kabuto to Rice Field Country and found the location of the Otogakure.”
When Fugaku heard this, his eyes narrowed and he quickly decided on the next action plan.
“Go and have a look.”
With his order, all members of the Uchiha clan entered the Steel Fortress and used the lightning Stone as a power source to drive it.
Boom.
The fortress was like a giant pangolin, plunging into the ground and quickly escaping into the distance.
Only Yoshihiko and Niroko, whose memories had been erased, were left standing blankly in the valley.
……
The Country of Rice Fields is a small country to the north of the original Country of Fire.
In the Fourth Ninja War, which swept the entire Ninja world, the reason why Rice Field Country was able to survive alone and not be annexed by other big countries was because of one word:
Poverty.
To put it simply, this is a place where birds don’t poop.
After carving up the Country of Fire, all the major countries were full, and naturally they lost interest in a shabby place like the Country of Rice Fields.
After all, for a big country, annexing Rice Field country would not only be of no benefit to itself, but also feed a bunch of poor people in Rice Field country, which would completely increase the burden on itself.
In addition.
After the new ninja world pattern is formed, new buffer zones are also needed between the major countries.
The Kingdom of Rice Field happens to be located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Earth, Wind, and Thunder. If a war breaks out in the future, this place will be the chessboard for the game between the great powers.
Because of poverty, Rice Field Country has never had its own ninja village.
Until Orochimaru came here.
He bribed the daimyo of Rice Field Country with money, and after obtaining approval, he established the Otogakure in this country.
It is different from other ninja villages.
The Otogakure is not employed by the daimyo of Rice Field country. It is not even a village in the actual sense, but consists of several underground bases.
These bases are distributed in various places in Rice Field Country, from forests to deep mountains to the sea. They can be regarded as three burrows.
Orochimaru is hiding in one of the bases.
After Kabuto left Sunagakure, he finally returned to Otogakure after a long journey.
Deep in the woods, there is a building lower than the ground, with a snake symbol painted on the door. At first glance, it looks like an inconspicuous cave.
Kabuto walked in.
Although the entrance of the building is very small, once you enter it, you will find that it is a huge maze built underground, with all kinds of living facilities.
There is a different world.
This is Orochimaru’s lair, and no one knows its location. As Orochimaru’s confidant, Kabuto was the first person invited and qualified to enter this place.
Kabuto walked in the dark corridor, with a row of cells on both sides.
Behind those cold iron bars, there are prisoners one after another. Some are covered in wounds and wailing, some have sallow faces and numb eyes, and some are dying with vitality.
These prisoners are all ninjas captured by Orochimaru from various places.
He imprisoned them in prison, used this group of people as experimental materials for developing new techniques, and conducted a large number of human experiments. He was even more cruel and cold-blooded than the Second Hokage back then.
Suddenly.
A prisoner rushed to the cell, stretched out his hand, and begged Kabuto, “Please, help me…”
Kabuto stopped, pushed up his glasses with his hand, and smiled at the other person.
“It is your greatest honor to be Orochimaru-sama’s experimental material. I don’t know how many people envy you.”
After saying this, he walked away under the astonished eyes of the prisoners.
Crunch.
Pushing open a door, Kabuto entered a spacious and tall room.
Inside, various experimental instruments, scrolls and materials, computers and display screens are arranged in an orderly manner. It is a quite high-end laboratory.
Under the bright light, Orochimaru was standing in front of a microscope, concentrating on observing the cell tissue in the culture dish.
Kabuto walked up to Orochimaru and did not interrupt the latter. Instead, he remained silent and waited patiently.
One stop takes more than ten minutes.
It wasn’t until Orochimaru finished this observation that Kabuto shouted respectfully: “Orochimaru-sama.”
“Oh, it’s Kabuto, you’re back. I thought you died in Sunagakure.”
Orochimaru smiled slightly and joked.
“It seems that the top brass also know about the Uchiha clan’s attack on Sunagakure Village. The subordinates did encounter some dangers. Fortunately, they were lucky and were able to escape.”
As Kabuto spoke, he couldn’t help but show a trace of fear on his face.
“Tell me exactly what happened.”
Orochimaru washed his hands, sat down on the chair, and crossed his legs gracefully.
“Yes.” Kabuto responded, reporting in detail what he saw on the night the Uchiha attacked Sunagakure.
While listening, Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes flashed, and deep greed emerged from the depths of his eyes.
He once fell into Uchiha Shisui’s illusion “Kotoamatsukami” and was almost killed instantly. He knew very well how terrifying the Mangekyou Sharingan was.
Now.
Seeing that the Uchiha clan used a hundred people to fight against the five major ninja villages, it stirred up the turmoil in the ninja world. The power of this clan gave Orochimaru a strong desire—
He wanted to capture a strong Uchiha man with the Mangekyo Sharingan as a container for his next reincarnation, and then use the forbidden technique of corpse reincarnation to seize all the opponent’s abilities.
But Orochimaru also knew that with his current strength, he was far from being able to compete with the Uchiha clan.
He was hit by Shisui’s illusion, and his soul level has not recovered yet, and he is still in a relatively weak state.
As for the Otogakure under his command, since the village was just established, there was only a group of rotten fish and shrimps. Letting them fight against the Uchiha was tantamount to throwing an egg against a stone.
So.
In order to achieve his goal, Orochimaru decided to use the power of another forbidden technique.
The Edo Tensei.
Orochimaru has been studying this technique for a long time, but it was not until recently that he made breakthrough progress.
Thinking of this.
“Come with me, I’ll show you something.”
Orochimaru stood up, said something mysterious to Kabuto, then turned and walked towards the depths of the laboratory.
The two came to a new room.
A row of candles was lit in the room, and the dim candlelight swayed, reflecting the spells carved on the floor.
The technique was very complicated, and Kabuto could only recognize it. It had the words “dirty” and “earth” written on it.
“Let me go!”
At this time, a strong prisoner, escorted by two sound ninjas, entered the room tied up.
Bang.
He was pushed to the ground and fell right in the middle of the technique.
“You, what are you going to do?”
The prisoner had a premonition that something was wrong. He looked at Orochimaru in horror and struggled to stand up.
Orochimaru sneered silently, raised his hands, quickly completed the seal, and slapped the last palm on the ground.
Buzz.
With Orochimaru’s chakra infusion technique, Edo Tensei was activated.
They saw countless dust rising from the ground, like rice dumplings, covering the prisoner, causing him to scream.
But soon, his screams subsided, and his whole body transformed into a new appearance wrapped in dust.
It was a handsome young man who was in his early sixties and had short red hair.
Although the whites of his eyes were black and there were cracks on his face like porcelain, which made him look a little different from ordinary people, Kabuto next to Orochimaru still recognized the identity of the red-haired boy at a glance.
“Lord Sasori!”
Kabuto was taken aback and blurted out.
Yes, the handsome young man in front of me was Orochimaru’s former partner when he was working at Akatsuki——
Sasori of Red Sand.
