Konoha: Starting from Sage Transformation

"Dead, yes, I am indeed dead."

Orochimaru, who entered the sage mode, heard Lao Zi's surprised words, and immediately showed a terrifying smile, spat out a long snake letter, and replied in a slightly exaggerated tone.

Isn't he already dead? His original body was killed by Tohsaka Kirito a long time ago, as well as his soul. If he hadn't split a complete soul seed in advance and parasitized it on a certain experimental subject with good qualifications, he would It's really dead.

However, he had experienced the feeling of death once, and he still remembered it deeply.

Therefore, he has indeed 'died' once.

"Hmph, I don't care if this disgusting guy like you is dead. Since you dare to provoke me, you should be prepared to be burned to death by me."

Lao Zi said coldly.

As he spoke, lava balls shot out from his mouth.

Molten Escape·Lava Ejection.

Every lava ball exudes terrifyingly high temperatures, and as long as the rock is touched, it will melt and pierce through it in an instant.

Orochimaru turned a blind eye, only to see his tail covered with white snake phosphorus penetrate into the ground, and a solid earth wall stood in front of him, blocking all the incoming lava balls.

At the same time, an earth snake emerged from the ground beneath Lao Zi and quickly wrapped around his entire body.

The body of the earth snake is very tough. Lao Zi struggled desperately, but was unable to break free for a while.

Whether it is an earth wall or an earth snake, they are all created by Orochimaru using the magic technique of Inorganic Reincarnation. This magic technique from Ryūchi Cave has been completely mastered by Orochimaru and can be used flexibly in battle.

Taking advantage of Lao Zi's difficulty in breaking free from the shackles of the earth snake, a long blue chakra snake spit out from Orochimaru's mouth, and then cooperated with the earth snake to further restrain Lao Zi.

Sealing Technique·Spirit Snake Sealing.

This is a sealing technique developed by Orochimaru based on another magical modification of the improved King Kong seal that suits his personal taste.

Of course, this sealing technique still inherits the original restraint effect of the improved version of the sealing technique on tailed beasts.

It was precisely because he mastered this powerful sealing technique to restrain the tailed beasts that he, Uchiha Madara, worked hard to capture the four tailed beasts on the spot. Fortunately, he only had to be responsible for capturing one tailed beast.

In an instant, Lao Zi found that the chakra in his body was strongly restricted and difficult to mobilize.

Because of this, the Tailed Beast Clothes and Melting Chakra Mode on his body came into contact with him.

"This is a sealing technique! Bastard, let me go quickly."

Lao Zi instantly realized what trick Orochimaru had just used, fear appeared in his heart for the first time, and then he cursed.

The Jinchūriki are most afraid of the sealing technique.

"Just go to sleep first. You will be free soon. You will never need to be discriminated against and ostracized by the villagers again."

Orochimaru ignored Lao Zi's curse and smiled evilly.

The next moment, his golden snake eyes suddenly turned into a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes. After Lao Zi saw it, his cursing suddenly stopped.

Genjutsu·Sharingan.

After witnessing the power of the Rinnegan with his own eyes, Orochimaru had naturally longed for the Sharingan.

Therefore, after successfully helping Uchiha Madara quietly control Takigakure Village, he found an opportunity to use the Fuzo Reincarnation to seize the body of a Uchiha ninja he liked, thus successfully gaining the power of the Sharingan.

The only pity is that he can't get the Mangekyo Sharingan yet.

However, he already knows the conditions for opening the Mangekyo Sharingan. He has personally found two Uchiha ninjas who have the potential to open the Mangekyo Sharingan. Both of them are brothers, and they both have people with whom they have deep bonds.

He planned to wait for Uchiha Madara to attack Konoha, find an opportunity to let these two people activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, and then take away their eyes.

After Orochimaru used the Sharingan genjutsu to control Lao Zi, a white and black weirdo emerged from the nearby ground. It was Hei Zetsu who had been hiding in the dark to watch the battle and was responsible for keeping watch.

"Thank you for your hard work, but I didn't expect it to be done so easily. Master Madara was indeed right to send you to deal with him."

Black Zetsu glanced at Lao Zi, who had lost the ability to resist, then turned his head and praised Orochimaru.

When Orochimaru heard this, he immediately released the sage mode and returned to his normal state. Then, without looking at Black Zetsu, he said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I have some things to do nearby, so you should leave first." One step."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Black was absolutely indifferent to Orochimaru's cold and distant attitude. As soon as Orochimaru left, its man-eating grass-like body wrapped Lao Zi's entire body, and then, like Orochimaru, disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye.

The four-tail capture was successful.

The lava mountain also returned to calm.

. . .

The next day, Sunagakure officially launched a war against Iwagakure, and a fierce battle broke out between a large number of ninjas gathered at the border.

Iwagakure, as always, used the collective tactics they were good at, concentrating their power by collectively using the same ninjutsu, and exerting the powerful combat effectiveness of the ninja legion. Various collective earth escapes caused huge trouble to the Sunagakure ninjas.

However, Sunagakure gained the upper hand in the war this time.

A puppet master of hundreds of people controlled thousands of puppets to launch a suicide charge against Iwagakure's position without worrying about casualties. The puppet army formed by this puppet master army brought huge casualties to Iwagakure.

And because the puppets controlled by these puppet masters are standardized puppets, even if they are damaged, suitable parts can be found as soon as possible to replace them. The sustainable combat capability is much stronger than Sunagakure's former puppet master army.

In addition, it is very easy for standardized puppets to cooperate with each other. As long as the puppet masters have rehearsed and trained in advance, they can use the puppets to form various battle formations to cooperate in combat, and even set up sealing killing formations to trap the enemy.

Therefore, on the battlefield, this new puppet master force was like a sharp knife, easily cutting through Iwagakure's defensive formation and seriously threatening Iwagakure's heart.

For a time, Iwagakure could only defend passively and retreated steadily, losing a large amount of land that had been taken from the Kingdom of Wind.

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Building, Tsuchikage Office.

Onoki, who had not slept for almost three days, stared at a pair of severe dark circles under his eyes. After listening to the new battlefield information conveyed by the secret technique Hongtu, he said with an ugly face: "I understand, tell Huangtu that the enemy must be stopped at the national border. They must not be allowed to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Earth.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to stand up and move his somewhat stiff body, but there was a sudden clicking sound from his waist.

"Ah~, my waist."

The next second, Ohnoki covered his waist with his hands in pain and screamed.

"Lord Tsuchikage, please go and rest as soon as possible. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to hold on."

Hongtu quickly went over to convince Onoki, persuaded him, and then used Palm Immortal Technique to treat Onoki's old waist.

Onoki was silent after hearing this.

How could he possibly sleep when the enemy was almost at his doorstep? What was even more frightening was that the whereabouts of Lao Zi, the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, were now unknown, and Iwagakure was now in the most dangerous moment in history.

As a Tsuchikage, he must find a way to get rid of the current dangerous situation as soon as possible.

"Lord Tsuchikage, let's seek help from Konoha. Judging from the situation in front of us, Sunagakure has already planned this war. If we have Lao Zi here, no matter how powerful their new puppet army is, It is also impossible to break through our Iwagakure's defenses.

Sunagakure must be closely related to the mysterious power targeting our Iwagakure. It would be difficult for us Iwagakure to compete with them just by relying on our own strength. "

Seeing that Ohnoki still wanted to hold on stubbornly, Hong Tu felt extremely distressed, and then he felt cruel and spoke out his proposal.

"Shut up, how can we Iwagakure take the initiative to bow to Konoha? Don't even think about it."

Ohnoki refused without hesitation, and then glared at his daughter-in-law.

Facing Onoki's angry gaze, Red Earth was frightened, but she did not flinch. She looked directly into Onoki's eyes and mustered up the courage to say: "Lord Tsuchikage, the enemy can capture Lao Zi without our knowledge. What other forces do you think can do this in the ninja world?"

As soon as these words came out, Ohnoki's angry eyes quickly dimmed.

What Hongtu just said was like a sharp knife, easily cutting through his strong shell, leaving his weakness exposed to the air.

Yes, what forces in the ninja world can capture Lao Zi without Iwagakure's knowledge?

There are only two answers.

One is Konoha and the other is Uchiha Madara.

As far as he knew, Konoha had been busy improving its strength recently, and that scary boy had been staying in Konoha because of Uchiha Madara, which basically eliminated the possibility of Konoha taking action against Lao Zi.

What's more, from the perspective of profit, Konoha now has no reason to continue to provoke their Iwagakure under the threat of Uchiha Madara.

Therefore, the only one who is most likely to take action against Lao Zi is Uchiha Madara.

Unfortunately, Iwagakure had no evidence and did not dare to confront Uchiha Madara.

Judging from the traces left by the battle at the scene, Lao Zi fought with the enemy for a very short time. It can basically be concluded that Lao Zi fought with the enemy for a few rounds before being defeated and caught.

Lao Zihe, a four-tailed Jinchuuriki, is still a melting ninja, and is considered a first-rate powerhouse among shadow-level powerhouses, but even so, he was easily defeated by the enemy.

If it wasn't that the enemy was too powerful, it was that the enemy had been prepared and used some kind of ninjutsu that seriously restrained Lao Zi to subdue him instantly.

But no matter what, they Iwagakure are very dangerous now.

Because when Lao Zi was arrested, it happened to be when Ohnoki left Iwagakure Village.

It can be seen that the whereabouts of Chiyo and Lao Zi's arrest were all a conspiracy, and two powerful shadow-level experts fell into it.

One can imagine how deep the water behind this conspiracy is.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Ohnoki couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, because the enemy must know that he left the village alone.

In this way, if the enemy's conspiracy this time is against him, what will be the result?

He couldn't imagine what Iwagakure would be like after he fell.

"Lord Tsuchikage, it's time to make up your mind. The fighting situation on the front line is very bad. Unless you go to take charge in person, Loess and the others may not be able to withstand Sunagakure's offensive. But once you leave the village, the village will be lost. The only shadow-level combat force, that mysterious hostile force is likely to take the opportunity to attack."

Seeing that Onoki finally couldn't hold on any longer, Hongtu sighed.

If she could, she actually didn't want to tear off her father-in-law's disguise at all, but Iwagakure's current situation was really critical and she couldn't drag it out any longer.

In fact, the reason why the front line failed was that there were no shadow-level experts on the one hand, and on the other hand it was due to mysterious hostile forces. Onoki actually secretly transferred many of the elites on the front line back to the village to strengthen the village's protection. .

But now that the front line is losing and they are retreating steadily, it has seriously affected the stability of Yanyin Village. They must stabilize the war situation as soon as possible, or even turn defeat into victory. However, in this way, the village's protective power will inevitably be greatly reduced.

This is where Iwagakure is in danger. The enemy is not only Sunagakure, but there is also a more difficult enemy hiding in the dark, and that enemy is supposed to be familiar with Iwagakure.

"Red Earth, everything you said is right, but we Iwagakure are not at the point where we need to ask Konoha for help. We Iwagakure must rely on our own strength to tide over the difficulties."

After Onoki pondered for a while, he regained his composure and shook his head at Hongtu.

It's not that Ohnoki is greedy for vanity and can't save the face to ask for help. In fact, Iwagakure's request for help from Konoha will only greatly damage the glory in the hearts of countless Iwa-nin, and will make countless Iwa-nin who are fighting bloody battles on the front line lose their fighting spirit.

There are still tens of thousands of ninjas in Iwagakure, and Ohnoki is also there, so how can he ask for help from Konoha? Is it possible that their Iwagakure is worse than Amagakure?

Hongtu didn't think as much as Ohnoki thought. Her husband was currently fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the front line. He might die in battle and she would become a widow.

Emotionally, she didn't want Iwagakure to make unnecessary sacrifices. She thought for a moment and then said an explosive message: "Lord Tsuchikage, Madara Uchiha has mastered the art of reincarnation in dirty soil. I heard that he once summoned Mu-sama. Come out, if Master Wu is behind all of this to help the enemy target Iwagakure, do you think we, Iwagakure, can bear all this on our own?"

The next moment, Onoki suddenly raised his head and said to Hongtu with a serious face: "Where did you hear this news?"

At the same time, he finally understood why his whereabouts were discovered.

Because almost all of what he has learned comes from his teacher Tsuchikage Mu, if he is among the enemies, Iwagakure will be transparent in front of the enemy, and many secrets cannot be hidden, including Lao Zi's secret in the lava mountain. Practice this top-secret message.

Seeing this, Hongtu was about to reveal her source of information, but Ohnoki flew out of the window before she could say anything, and then rushed high into the sky.
