Art is Explosion
Yellow sand filled the sky, and everywhere there were weathered, towering rocks.
On this day, the Ninja Alliance gathered on the boundless battlefield.
The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, and the General of the Land of Iron, Mifune, each led a dark mass of ninjas as they pressed forward.
"Powerful Chakra sensed ahead!"
The Ninja Alliance halted at the sound of the ninja's exclamation.
Konoha ninjas were also visible in the distance, but they remained in place, making the scene on the battlefield even more captivating.
"Uchiha Yoru!"
Before the Ninja Alliance' formation, Obito's figure appeared beneath a spatial Uzumaki.
The moment Obito appeared, he made a snap of his fingers, and instantly a row of coffins appeared on the yellow sand.
Bang! Bang! The coffin lids hit the ground, sending up dust as one fallen ninja after another appeared, especially the successive Kage of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.
"Young man, you're very good."
Madara Uchiha, clad in blood-red armor, calmly appeared on the rocks of the Allied Ninja Alliance. This time, he no longer needed to conceal his strength as before.
He can unleash his full power with Rinnegan and Wood Release.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, one could see hanging from the towering rock formations were the daimyo who had once held great power in the Shinobi World, now all pale-faced and filled with fear.
"Ōnoki, what are you standing there for? Come save me!"
The daimyo of the Land of Earth roared in a disheveled state, while the daimyo of the Land of Lightning trembled so much that he could no longer speak. Both of them were covered in Explosive Tag, inside and out.
At that moment, Uchiha Yoru slowly emerged from the highest rock, a mocking smile on his face as he looked at the Ninja Alliance.
"What are you fighting for? If it's for these daimyo, then I think this war should come to an end."
"I have already won. If it were for your power, I would have won!" At this moment, Uchiha Yoru looked domineeringly at the tens of thousands of the Ninja Alliance.
"These daimyo can grant you power, but after I, Uchiha Yoru, unify the Shinobi World, I will bestow upon you even greater power. Ninjas will replace the daimyo as the rulers of this world."
This domineering declaration, made in front of countless people, is unprecedented in the thousands of years of the Shinobi World.
Overthrowing the daimyo and making ninjas, who were merely tools, the rulers of this continent seemed like a fantasy, but now such a person has actually appeared.
Glug!
Someone nervously swallowed, trembling as they stared at Uchiha Yoru's figure in the distance, muttering, "Can a ninja really replace a daimyo?"
"Tools become masters!"
His direct disclosure of his desire for change completely overturned the understanding of countless ninjas in the Shinobi World.
It's almost universally acknowledged that ninjas are tools; even ninjas themselves see themselves as tools, and the training they receive from the Ninja Academy is precisely that of tools.
But the appearance of Uchiha Yoru was meant to overturn all of this, showing them that ninjas could finally rise up and become masters of their own destiny.
"Young man, are you serious?!"
Madara Uchiha couldn't help but show a hint of admiration as he looked at the group of daimyo covered in Explosive Tag. Their audacity was even greater than his own back then.
"Serious?"
Looking at Madara Uchiha, Uchiha Yoru smiled and said sarcastically, "A ninja who possesses the power to change the world is nothing more than a tool in the hands of these people."
"And what are these so-called daimyo? Bloodline? If we follow the theory of bloodline, then the Uchiha, as descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, should be the sole king of this world."
Looking at the Ninja Alliance, Uchiha Yoru spread his arms and said mockingly, "These fat pigs are not only covered in Explosive Tag, but their bellies are also stuffed with them. Now I'm giving you a choice."
"If you are still willing to be tools of these daimyo, obedient dogs, then go ahead and save your masters. Don't worry! I won't lay a hand on them."
"Similarly! If you still have any backbone, if you want your descendants to rise up and rule the world, if you want ninjas to become the masters of this world, then ignore these fat pigs."
As he said this, Uchiha Yoru's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile.
"Three minutes! The Explosive Tag will detonate in three minutes. If you are dissatisfied with the rule of these daimyo, you don't need to do anything. The Explosive Tag will destroy the so-called Daimyo's Mansion system."
With a gentle wave of his hand, a gust of wind spun past, instantly snapping hundreds of ropes in a row.
Bang bang bang~
The group of daimyo fell to the ground in a disheveled state, but they were too terrified to make a move. Instead, they stared at Uchiha Yoru in fear.
Looking down at the group of daimyo, Uchiha Yoru sneered, "Don't worry, I won't attack you. You're safe, but the Explosive Tag inside you only last for three minutes."
"If you want to live, go find your tools. Sealing Jutsu can seal the Explosive Tag and save your lives."
Seeing Uchiha Yoru's mocking gaze, many of the daimyo below panicked, some even exclaiming in terror, "You! Are you telling the truth?!"
Today they experienced the darkest time of their lives, falling from the clouds into the mire, leaving them with only fear.
Faced with those fearful and resentful gazes, Uchiha Yoru only smiled contemptuously. They were just a bunch of ants; he never took them seriously.
Run!
Upon witnessing this scene, the daimyo of one of the small countries gritted his teeth, roared angrily, and took off running towards the Ninja Alliance.
Once someone does something, someone else will do it too, especially after seeing that Uchiha Yoru hadn't made a move yet, and everyone started to act.
"Wait for me."
"Damn it, what are you all standing there for? Come and save me!"
A comical scene unfolded on the battlefield: a group of ornately dressed, bulky daimyo, looking utterly disheveled, frantically ran towards the Ninja Alliance.
Meanwhile, many daimyo were furious when they saw the Ninja Alliance, complaining that the shinobi just watched them flee in disarray without coming to their rescue.
Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, seeing this scene, revealed an amused smile, crossed his arms, and calmly watched this dramatic spectacle unfold.
The Konoha Ninja watched this scene with cold indifference and mockery; the Daimyo had long been forgotten by them.
On the other side of the Ninja Alliance, amidst the commotion, there were still some ninjas from the Daimyo's Mansion who, having been severely brainwashed, disregarded everything.
"Quickly, save Daming!"
However, while some desperately tried to rescue them, other ninjas quietly intercepted them in the shadows.
"Be careful, it might be a trap. Don't act impulsively."
"Damn it, that's a famous name."
"I know, but this is war. Without the orders of the Allied Commander-in-Chief, no one is allowed to act without authorization."
At this moment, all the pressure fell on the commander of the Ninja Alliance. The Fourth Raikage, Ay, stared wide-eyed in frustration. He had never imagined that the pressure on the commander of the Ninja Alliance would be so great.
"Raikage, give me some instructions quickly."
The cunning and shrewd Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, feigned enthusiasm, appearing to be simply waiting for your orders.
At this moment, countless eyes turned to him; some hoped he would agree, while others did not.
Human desires are never satisfied; if you haven't thought about it before, then so be it.
However, the stark reality is now clear: Konoha has long since demoted the Daimyo to this level, and now they've even acted like villains.
They only need to find a reason, and regardless of the outcome, the status of ninjas will at least be greatly elevated.
The allure of power is deadly.
"Raikage!"
Mifune, the general of the Land of Iron, was Daimyo Faction of the daimyo, but he also saw the ambition in the eyes of many ninjas, who believed that the status of ninjas would be greatly enhanced after the Mifune was replaced.
The Fourth Raikage was sweating profusely with anxiety. He had never felt such pressure before. However, as he watched the daimyo's figure getting closer and closer in the distance, especially when he saw the dark skin of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, he was filled with anticipation.
"Damn it, Raikage, you black egg, are you trying to rebel?! Come save me now!"
"Damn it!" The Fourth Raikage, Ay, who had been hesitant, suddenly felt Murderous Aura after being reprimanded like this. He roared, "All ninjas, be careful! This is a trap! Don't fall for it!"
"Damn Black Demon Raikage!"
"Raikage, you've gone too far!"
After the Fourth Raikage, Ay, the commander of the Ninja Alliance, issued his order, it immediately angered many shinobi from the Daimyo Faction, causing some unrest within the Ninja Alliance.
"My lord, your subordinate has come to rescue you."
"Be careful, Daimyo, I'm coming..."
One by one, ninjas, Samurai, Onmyoji resolutely broke out of formation and ran towards their respective daimyo.
There's a reason why daimyo can exist for over a thousand years; otherwise, they would have been overthrown by ninjas long ago.
"No! It's Genjutsu!"
Suddenly, the Fourth Raikage regained consciousness, his face showing shock. The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, exclaimed in surprise, "Raikage, you were just affected by Genjutsu!"
Good heavens, what a sly old fox! Not only is he playing dumb, but he's also completely shifting the blame onto the Genjutsu.
"Heh, the Sharingan may have hypnotic abilities, but you Fourth Raikage, seem quite interested."
Beneath Uchiha Yoru's mocking smile, it seemed he meant, "You can try to shift the blame, because history is always written by the victors."
"Help me!"
However, a scene unfolded on the battlefield that enraged countless ninjas.
The hypnotic ability of the Sharingan is something that all ninjas understand; it merely amplifies the desires in people's hearts, rather than providing complete control.
"Damn it, you bunch of useless trash, get those Explosive Tag off me now!"
"Quickly, if you can't save me, I'll have you killed, and I'll give your family, your daughter and your wife, to other people to play with!"
"What are you doing? Why haven't you dealt with the Explosive Tag yet? You're useless! You're utterly useless!"
"Asshole..."
The ninjas, Samurai, and Onmyoji rushed forward in a frantic rage to rescue their daimyo, but they were all bewildered by the complex setup of the Explosive Tag.
But these daimyo didn't care about any of that; many of them broke down under the fear of death.
They screamed and cursed wildly, resorting to threats and temptations in an endless stream, all for one thing: to survive.
"Save me! Don't you ninjas have all sorts of strange Ninjutsu? Quickly, take my place and get out of here. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your family after I get out..."
Hurry up!
The ugliness of human nature was laid bare at this moment, and many daimyo, in despair, frantically ran into the allied forces, roaring hoarsely.
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly deactivate the Explosive Tag on me!"
The Explosive Tag on these daimyo's bodies were completely connected by Steel Wire, making them impossible to remove. There was even a thread that stretched from the corner of their mouths into their stomachs.
Anyone who tries to use Water Release to extinguish the Explosive Tag should forget about it.
With complex Explosive Tag setups, this is where a ninja's skills will be tested.
"Calm down! Lord Daimyo, calm down and take a deep breath. Leave the rest to me."
As expected, there were elites among the daimyo's subordinates. Once someone took the lead, the others followed suit.
Elite ninjas, their foreheads drenched in sweat, stood calmly before their daimyo, using sharp Kunai to probe the threads connecting the Explosive Tag. They needed to find the release point; otherwise, misplacing even one thread would activate the Explosive Tag.
"What about the Sealing Jutsu? Didn't Uchiha Yoru say that the Sealing Jutsu would work?"
Some daimyo cried out in despair, and one of the ninjas said sadly, "Daimyo, it's true that you have Sealing Jutsu, but the Explosive Tag hidden inside your body are connected to the outside world. It's impossible for a living person to completely seal them off with Sealing Jutsu."
In other words, if they want to save the daimyo, they must first find the key threads connecting the external and internal Explosive Tag have the doll sever them. Only then can they use Sealing Jutsu to seal the external Explosive Tag.
"You're quick, aren't you?"
As a daimyo roared in fury, the ninja, who had been highly tense and composed, suddenly trembled, and fear flashed in his eyes.
He didn't tremble; a pebble had hit his arm! But the next moment, with a deafening roar, all the evidence was destroyed.
Amidst a shower of blood, the daimyo exploded from the inside out. The combined force of the numerous Explosive Tag killed this Elite Jonin instantly.
"No! Help me!"
After one explosion, a second one followed. A daimyo was terrified by the explosion and, in his panic, clung tightly to one of his subordinates, which caused the Explosive Tag to detonate.
Rumble~
"Calm down, all you need to do is calm down."
There was also a calm and collected leader. At this moment, he calmly tried his best to appease his subordinates. Now, his life depended not only on his subordinates, but also on his future position.
There are still plenty of smart people out there, but that's no match for the explosions of the Explosive Tag one after another.
"No! Something's wrong, this isn't Explosive Tag! It's Clay Bomb!"
A keen-eyed ninja noticed the problem, and just then, a large white clay bird flew overhead. The blond Deidara laughed excitedly, "Art is Explosion, ahahaha!"
"My art is hidden within these great lords; your time is almost up."
"Deidara!" The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, roared angrily upon seeing the figure in the sky.
If Deidara had any sense, he wouldn't be suffering like this at his age.
"Haha, old man, this is my art!"
"The most prestigious daimyo in the Shinobi World, paired with my perfect art of explosion, haha~"
Deidara laughed excitedly, knowing that his explosive art would be remembered by every ninja and might even be passed down through the ages.
The history of the Shinobi World, the former rule of the daimyo vanished under his explosive art of Deidara, how perfect.
