Child of the Devil, Ōtsutsuki Tōka!

In the Year 61 of Konoha, a massive earthquake struck the Ninja World, radiating outwards from Konoha to surrounding Small Nation.

There is only one reason, or rather, one person— the Child of the Devil Ōtsutsuki Tōka!

In the Land of Water, on the endless sea, a medium-sized sailboat quietly drifts with the current into the depths of the fog. The protagonist being talked about Ninja World is currently aboard this sailboat.

"Child of the Devil? How unoriginal." Tōka casually tossed the intelligence report into the sea, his gaze coldly fixed on the depths of the thick fog.

He could clearly sense an extremely powerful chakra fluctuation emanating from the depths of that thick fog.

Three-Tails... I've found you!

"Give the order to speed up the ship!" Tōka stood at the bow, facing the sea breeze, his figure shrouded in thick fog.

Even Sasuke, who was standing right next to him, couldn't make out the mysterious figure's back.

Sasuke for a moment, then turned and headed towards the cabin. Since Tōka told them to speed up, he must have sensed the exact location of the Three-Tails.

Glug glug...

The sailboat hoisted its sails, sailed with the wind and current, and suddenly increased its speed, cutting through the waves as it sped towards the depths of the sea.

On the foggy sea, the most unpredictable thing is the weather.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Tōka was bathed in the sea breeze, his nostrils filled with the salty smell of the sea, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Sudden!

Tōka, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a fleeting glint of Ice Blue light One Flash his face. "Such a large number of ninjas must be from Kirigakure!"

Their chakra level is only at the Chunin level, with only a few scattered teams having Jonin members.

It looks like a team sent by Kirigakure to guard the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails is naturally fond of water and doesn't like to move. It often sleeps at the bottom of the water. The ninja forces of Kirigakure are not guarding the Three-Tails.

Instead, it guards the area near where the Three-Tails lives, preventing others from approaching.

The sound of footsteps returned from behind. Even without turning around, Tōka knew it was Sasuke returning. He tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"Sasuke, would you like to come for a walk with me?"

"Let's take a walk?" Sasuke frowned slightly, then a look of realization dawned on his face.

Tōka's expression clearly indicated that something was about to happen. Sasuke knew that Tōka's purpose in coming was the Three-Tails, so going to see it wouldn't be a bad idea...

The thought flashed through his mind, Sasuke nodded slightly.

Tōka raised his hand, forming an arc in front of him, and a dark Vortex tore through space as he moved his arm.

Tōka's figure then disappeared into the Black Vortex. Seeing this, Sasuke quickly rushed forward and plunged into the Black Hole.

On a remote island within the Land of Water, in front of a beach surrounded by reefs along the coastline.

Through the thick fog, two hazy figures, one large and one small, could be vaguely seen riding the waves.

The Kirigakure Ninja stationed there quickly noticed the unusual scene on the sea; anyone who could walk on the waves must be a ninja!

Moreover, a ninja who dares to walk on the waves must be a strong person!

"Notify Captain Sakata!" The Kirigakure Ninja on guard duty deactivated his Sensory Technique and shouted loudly to his second-in-command beside him.

"Yes!"

A dark figure immediately darted into the Forest deep within the island.

Above the waves, two figures moved unhurriedly through the hazy fog, their speed unusually fast; in the blink of an eye, they were already close by.

Tōka stepped onto the beach, and the soft, wet sand immediately sank in. Sasuke followed closely behind and arrived at Satō.

"Sensor Ninja?" Tōka looked up at the Kirigakure Ninja standing on the rocky high ground to his left and raised an eyebrow as he asked.

"Have I been discovered...?" The ninja, clinging to the reef and using the boulder for cover, Kirigakure Ninja up. His hiding place couldn't be easily found.

It seems that one of those two was a Sensor Ninja.

What should I do...?

Just as the Kirigakure Ninja hesitated whether to continue monitoring the other party or retreat first, a dark shadow suddenly descended and enveloped him.

Kirigakure Ninja skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her head to look behind her.

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

The two figures, one large and one small, that had been on the beach moments before, suddenly appeared behind him. One was expressionless, while the other had a faint smile on his lips.

The warm smile fell on the eyes of the Kirigakure Ninja, but it was not as friendly as Sasuke's expressionless face. Sasuke's look of disbelief made Tōka's smile freeze on his lips.

"Kirigakure Ninja, can you tell me what you're doing here?" Tōka glanced at the Kirigakure Ninja's Forehead Protector and asked indifferently.

The Kirigakure Ninja drew his Kunai, assuming a fighting stance. He was a sensory ninja, not skilled in combat, but he wouldn't surrender easily.

Tōka's guess was pretty accurate; he was just asking casually.

Bringing Sasuke along was naturally intended to give Sasuke more opportunities to gain experience; fighting against the Chunin Kirigakure would be a good challenge.

"The intelligence is right in front of us, Sasuke-kun," Tōka said meaningfully.

Sasuke was a smart man; as soon as he heard Tōka's words, he understood what he should do and why Tōka was doing it.

Without any hesitation, Sasuke flipped his palm, and a sharp Kunai fell into his hand.

Whoosh!

He lowered his body to gather strength, then leaped forward, Sasuke at the Kirigakure Ninja like a drawn sword.

Clang!!

The two Kunai collided violently in mid-air, the intense friction flashing a cluster of scarlet Kakkō. The Kirigakure Ninja did not fight Sasuke head-on, but instead used the force to jump backward.

He knew that no matter how strong the kid in front of him was, he was only Genin, while the guy next to him...

Swish swish swish!!

After a single exchange, before Sasuke continue his attack, a flock of startled birds flapped their wings and flew away from Forest Forest deep within the island.

The sound of sizzling and hissing had barely begun when a series of dark figures appeared Body Flicker Technique above Jiao Yang.

"Captain Sakata!" The Kirigakure Ninja immediately moved closer and stood in the crowd that had rushed over.

"A brat?" The first person Jonin noticed was Sasuke, who was fighting against the Kirigakure Ninja. As an experienced Jonin, he could tell Sasuke's strength at a glance.

At best, he's only at the level of Genin; why would he appear in a place like this?

With this question in mind, Sakata Jonin to look in the other direction, and Tōka's figure clearly came into his view...

This, this is...

Sakata Jonin's pupils contracted sharply, and he raised his hand to rub his eyes in disbelief.

"Child of the Devil?!"

Konoha did not hide the information about Tōka; instead, it sent the information to the Five Great Nations. Mizukage Mei Terumī was in Konoha at the time and witnessed everything.

Therefore, all the ninjas in Kirigakure had seen Tōka's photo.

"Sasuke, what are you standing there for?" Tōka asked calmly, his eyelids darkening. Although he looked expressionless, those who knew him well knew he was unhappy.

Tōka doesn't really like people giving her nicknames, especially things like "Bone Release Ninja" or "Child of the Devil."

Sasuke was slightly taken aback, feeling the cool mat irritating his skin. His heart tightened, and his hands quickly Hand Seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

As his chakra gathered, Sasuke a deep breath and then unleashed a torrent of fire-style chakra from his mouth.

A blazing fireball hurtled towards the Kirigakure Ninja.

"Water Release · Water Wall!"

In the Land of Water, the air is very humid, and this place is a beach by the sea, so the power of Water Release is naturally stronger.

The fireballs collided with the water curtain and were extinguished without any surprise.

Sasuke a little out of breath. Although he could release the Great Fireball again, it was obviously pointless. He turned to look at Tōka with a puzzled expression.

Sasuke might have had some confidence in their previous one-on-one battles.

But now, facing a group of Kirigakure Ninja, including Jonin, might not have been a problem for him in a few years, but now...

"Is one Great Fireball the limit?" Tōka's gaze wasn't on Sasuke, but his words were directed at Sasuke.

"You're far inferior to Itachi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tōka's figure flashed by like a gust of wind, his ghostly form weaving through the crowd, his afterimages so blurred that it was impossible to discern his exact location.

In less than a breath, Tōka Ge paused and stopped.

Thump!

Along with them, the lives of three Kirigakure Ninja squads also came to a stop.

Despite having already witnessed Tōka's power, Sasuke was still shocked by what he saw before him.

Those aren't just a dozen pigs, they're a dozen or so Kirigakure Ninja! The setup for three Elite Squad: three Jonin, and everyone else Chunin!

"Let's begin the unfinished lesson." Tōka had no idea what Jiraiya was entrusting to the three kids after taking over Team 7.

He decided to do it his way.

The fateful battle between Itachi and Sasuke remains highly anticipated...

"You activated your Sharingan just now, didn't you?" Tōka's question, though phrased as a question, was utterly certain. "Did you see my movements clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke lowered his head and remained silent.

Can you see clearly? It seems not.

Didn't see it clearly? I think I saw some patterns.

"Using Lightning Release to stimulate the cells, unleashing a speed beyond the body's limits." Tōka's figure blurred, flashing three steps in front of Sasuke.

The rapid movement created a strong gust of wind that rushed towards him, causing Sasuke's body to be thrown backward.

"Taijutsu are not my forte, but they won't be my weakness either. And the Kumogakure's Lightning Release Taijutsu will save me a lot of time in Taijutsu training."

"Your Chakra Nature is lightning and fire, making you qualified to learn Lightning Release Taijutsu."

Tōka's understanding of the Kumogakure's Lightning Release Taijutsu and the Konoha Steel Fist Eight Inner Gates is as follows: Lightning Release Taijutsu will have the advantage within the next ten years.

Ten years later, the Eight Inner Gates has the advantage.

Sasuke is unlikely to follow the path of Steel Fist, but looking at all the Kage-level throughout the millennia of Ninja World, there has never been a weakling in Taijutsu.

Therefore, Tōka decided to teach the Lightning Release Taijutsu to Sasuke.

Sasuke doesn't need to train to the level of the Raikage; he just wants to ensure that his Taijutsu won't become a weakness when he advances to Kage Level.

Tōka's purpose in traveling to the Land of Water is to capture the Three-Tails.

Tōka can teach Sasuke how to use Lightning Release to stimulate cells to unleash the body's maximum speed.

However, the specific training method for Lightning Release Taijutsu is only known in Land of Lightning Kumogakure. Today, Tōka is just informing Sasuke in advance.

Because he could tell that Sasuke's heart was starting to become restless.

"Next, we'll head straight to the Land of Lightning." Under Sasuke's expectant gaze, Tōka grinned and gave him a satisfactory answer.

Itachi, shouldn't you show up?

Tōka looked at Sasuke, but there was no reflection of Sasuke in his pupils; instead, he saw the figure of another man with bloodshot eyes.

The sea breeze howled in.

After completely eliminating the Kirigakure Ninja forces stationed on the island, Tōka went to the beach alone, standing by the sea and letting the fierce sea breeze blow over him.

The waves on the sea grew increasingly turbulent, with rolling waves crashing one after another at Tōka's feet.

Tōka's eyes narrowed, and a surge of powerful chakra rushed into them.

Eternal Tenseigan - Awakened!

With its Ice Blue eyes and nine ink-black Tomoe floating silently, a terrifying Dojutsu emanated from its eyes, Sasuke, standing a hundred meters away, to involuntarily activate his Sharingan.

Her crimson pupils trembled slightly as she stared in shock at Tōka's profile.

This time, Sasuke saw Tōka's eyes so closely and so clearly.

"What kind of eyes are they? Just a glimpse from the corner of their eye can make one feel uneasy?"

At this moment, Tōka had no time to pay Sasuke. The Three-Tails was not sealed inside the Jinchūriki's body; it was in its wild, complete form.

Its weight is more than a thousand tons, and with its Three-Tails hidden in the sea, it is obviously impossible for Tōka to dive into the water to catch it.

Therefore, Tōka must bring out the Three-Tails, at least on the sea surface, before he can take action!

The Dojutsu continues to increase...

Tōka loosely clenched her hands, palms facing upwards, bent her arms as if lifting them up, and then slowly raised them upwards.

Although his hands were empty, Tōka's expression was unusually serious, as if he were holding a huge mountain in his hands!

Glug glug...

As Tōka lifted the seawater with both hands, it seemed to boil, with clumps of bubbling water rising continuously.

It's as if a volcano about to erupt is lurking deep in the ocean.

Strangely, however, a thick fog still lingered in the air, and the icy sea breeze swept through like a knife.

"The Three-Tails is hiding in the water?" Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply. Wasn't that the area of sea in front of the beach the one they had crossed before?

Did they just walk over the Three-Tails' head?

The thought of the Three-Tails, submerged in the water, possibly surfacing and swallowing him whole sent chills down Sasuke's spine.

Glug glug!!

The bubbles on the sea surface shrank, but a sense of turmoil grew increasingly clear.

Puff!!

A gray, mud-turtle-like monster with three tails burst out of the water, and water gushed down its mountain-like body.

"Finally got it done!" Tōka breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead.

Tōka looked at Three-Tails, Three-Tails also stared at Tōka, its lantern-sized eyes fixed on the figure in front of it.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in the Three-Tails' eyes, as if it were pondering why it felt so familiar.

Until he saw the golden light in Tōka's palm...

The Three-Tails' pupils constricted sharply as it stared in utter terror at the figure before it. This was the guy who had killed the Fourth Mizukage!

This guy killed it!

"Looks like you still remember me." Tōka looked at the Three-Tails fox, which was many times taller than him, with a mocking expression, the golden light in his palm growing brighter and brighter.

You can't escape, Three-Tails!
