Mist Has the Upper Hand
"Huh?" Shiyu was surprised. She didn't expect the system to be resurrected again after the last bloodline fusion.
Before he could speak to the system, Gray Fang of the Hatake Clan asked, "Lord Shiyu, are you worried about Kakashi?" Gray Fang had naturally changed how he addressed Shiyu at this point.
"Hmm, Kakashi and Rin are going to face a crisis this time. I want to see if I can save them."
"Don't worry, I won't fight another battle for Konoha, but I'm willing to take the risk again to save my friends!"
Nao and Grey Fang immediately understood. During the war, Kirigakure suddenly launched a sneak attack on Konoha, and Konoha's forces were all on guard against ninjas from other countries. Konoha would definitely send elites like Kakashi Uchiha Shisui, who were still in the village, to resist Kirigakure.
In an emergency, it would be reasonable to send Genin.
"Indeed. The Hatake Clan all believe that Shiyu is loyal and righteous. However, Shiyu's purpose was not only to rescue Kakashi and Rin, but also, more importantly, to meet the Three-Tails."
If Shigure absorbs the bloodline of the Three-Tails this time, then all the bloodlines of the Nine-Tails, except for the elusive Six-Tails and Kumogakure's Eight-Tails Killer B Kumogakure, will be absorbed by Shiyu.
For the sake of the bigger picture, Shiyu decided to go to the battlefield where Konoha and Kumogakure were fighting alone.
Some people tried to persuade Shiyu, but Shiyu ultimately waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to persuade him further.
When he was alone, Shiyu began to question the system.
"System? What's going on? Why are my eyes so itchy? Did the evolution fail? Before, when I absorbed some bloodline, I would become extremely powerful, right?"
The system apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, host. The Senju bloodline of that Danzo last time was weakened and insufficient to fuse with your Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which is why you failed to evolve."
"Then take a look at the bloodlines I've collected." Shiyu immediately had the system check for her.
"My God! How long has it been? You've collected so many bloodlines again? This is the bloodline of the Senju Clan! And it has incredibly strong vitality! If you choose to fuse with it this time, it will definitely be a breakthrough evolution!" The system was also greatly surprised.
"Haha? Didn't you sense any other bloodline power?!" Shiyu continued to ask.
"Oh! And another thing! This is the Rinnegan bloodline power that Hagoromo Otsutsuki once awakened! My god! You actually obtained this level of bloodline power directly? And there's also some Uzumaki bloodline. But this Six Paths power is absolutely top-tier!"
"Furthermore, I sensed the power of the Uchiha Clan's bloodline... no, this seems to be the eye power from the Pure Land? It seems a powerful dead person bestowed upon you the power of the Uchiha!"
"And a portion of the Tailed Beast's bloodline? It seems you're about to collect Nine Tailed Beasts' bloodlines!" The system was increasingly astonished by the bloodlines Shiyu had obtained.
"I'm wondering, if I fuse these powers now, how long will it take for me to awaken? There seem to be other Konoha clan bloodlines that haven't been fused yet? What if I fuse all of these bloodlines?" Shiyu asked.
"This... this time could go on indefinitely. I can't say for sure; it depends on your own patience, host."
"Although your bloodline is strong, absorbing other bloodlines will first cause you great pain, and secondly, your body will need time to adapt, during which time you may faint. Therefore, please finish your own business first, and then find a safe place to fuse with them," the system suggested.
"Kakashi, Rin, Team Guy are all in danger. I can't fuse with them now. If I miss this opportunity, I might not be able to obtain the Three-Tails' bloodline power."
As for the Six-Tails and Eight-Tails, Shiyu will naturally have a chance in the future, but the Three-Tails, and even the Mizukage, may be controlled by Madara Uchiha.
This time, Shiyu wants to have a showdown with Madara Uchiha.
"Saving Rin might stop Obito from turning evil." Shiyu thought so, but he felt the chances were still slim. After all, this was the original story, and that mysterious Otsutsuki Woman might try to stop Shiyu from changing the future.
"Alright! System, could you first fuse some reincarnation power to restore my eyes?" Shiyu asked tentatively.
"If it's just about restoring you to your Eternal Mangekyo state, that's fine, and you won't even need to faint, nor will I disappear." The system then healed Shiyu's eyes.
"Finally, I can see! Honestly, evolving a pair of eyes made me feel like Danzo gouged out my eyes, and I still haven't succeeded in evolving." Shiyu shook his head, finding it somewhat laughable. It seemed that absorbing the First Hokage's bloodline from Danzo's body was indeed a mistake.
"Alright! Let's go!" Shiyu then entrusted the matter to Kakuzu and the others, who went to build Shiyu's base in the Land of Land of Rice, while Shiyu himself used his abilities to quickly head towards the Land of Fire.
Shiyu used the Flying Thunder God to travel continuously, disregarding the loss of chakra, and arrived at the place where Konoha and Kirigakure were fighting in just one day. However, Shiyu he found there was quite surprising.
Konoha's strength is undeniable, but due to the turmoil in the Shinobi World, Konoha has had to dispatch a large number of ninja troops to guard the border to prevent sudden attacks from other countries and villages.
However, taking advantage of the battle between Konoha and Kumogakure, Kirigakure suddenly launched a surprise attack on Konoha's rear. Although Shiyu had mentioned Kirigakure's actions before, it was clear that Konoha High Command had forgotten about it, or perhaps they had been blinded by victory and no longer cared.
"Although there were no major battles along the way, we frequently encountered the corpses of Konoha Ninja. Judging from the condition of the bodies, they had been injured by various sharp weapons."
"The corpse was cleanly severed; throughout the Shinobi World, only the Kubikiribōchō could achieve such an effect."
"And these two corpses, bound together with thread, missing limbs, and charred black, were clearly sewn up first and then caught in the blast wave that reached the Shinobi World. Only Nuibari and Exploding Blade Shibuki could achieve such lethality. It seems to be the duo Kushimaru Kuriarare and Munashi Jinpachi."
"There were also other Konoha Ninja died in different ways, all killed by seven different swords."
"It seems Konoha has suffered heavy losses! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have already reached our doorstep. I wonder if Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu are in any danger?"
"Has Might Duy already sacrificed himself? I shouldn't be too late, right?" Shiyu wasn't sure, so she could only extend her Byakugan observation eyes indefinitely and carefully investigate the surrounding dozens of kilometers.
"The Kirigakure is so ruthless this time?! They've driven Konoha to this point?" Shiyu was shocked. The Konoha Ninja were scattered by the Kirigakure. The Kirigakure Village ninjas were already of higher quality than Konoha, and now they had the advantage in numbers.
"Might Guy and the others are in danger! I have to get there right away!" Shiyu then disappeared in a flash.
