You Think You Can Throw the Land of Fire into Chaos?

Outside the Feudal Lord's Mansion.

Minato Namikaze remained calm and handed over three pieces of paper.

One for each person.

"What's this?"

Kakashi took the slip of paper; a spell formula was written on it.

I don't recognize him.

Kyohiko didn't recognize him either.

The basic books didn't cover Sealing Technique, but he knew that this should be the Flying Thunder God Mark researched by Minato Namikaze.

Minato has already figured out the formula for his Flying Thunder God Formula?

This means he has likely already mastered the Flying Thunder God.

Kyohiko was secretly surprised.

Minato Namikaze whispered, "You can think of this as a technique that allows me to Body Flicker Technique quickly. If you encounter danger, I can get there instantly."

The current situation is unclear.

He wasn't entirely at ease letting the Feudal Lord send them out for a stroll.

The three of them each carried it on their person.

While Maru Ichikyu did indeed only take them shopping, Kyohiko, who constantly sensed his surroundings, could clearly perceive—

About two kilometers behind them, four people were following them.

Guardian Ninja?

still...

Danzo's subordinates?

Kyohiko found it hard to believe that Danzo would admit Hiruzen Sarutobi, especially since his subordinates had not been completely eliminated.

I just wandered around Maru Ichikyu casually.

but.

His conversations were all about the Feudal Lord and the ninja village, constantly probing the four of them's opinions on the Feudal Lord.

Minato was drenched in sweat and dared not answer directly.

On the contrary, Might Guy...

"Your Excellency, the Feudal Lord? You are a very good person, and you manage a country remarkably well!"

What about the Hokage?

"The Lord Hokage is also great."

Might Guy frankly expressed his views.

Maru Ichikyu smiled and followed Might Guy to Kakashi and Kyohiko, but they did not respond.

Half a day was spent wandering around.

That evening, the Feudal Lord hosted a special banquet for them.

"Kyohiko, I heard your grandmother was from the Senju Clan?"

"Yes, my grandmother's name is Tokah Senju."

Kyohiko nodded.

The Feudal Lord has changed its form.

"So, your Genjutsu must be pretty good too, right?"

"My parents didn't have a talent for Genjutsu, and my generation's talent in Genjutsu is also only average; we're more skilled in Water Style Ninjutsu."

Kyohiko answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Kakashi, shoveling rice into his mouth, secretly rolled his eyes.

Average talent?

This guy's average skill level is on a completely different level from others; he might have secretly trained to a very high level.

If you believe, you've already lost!

He didn't take it seriously at all.

Feudal Lord understood, and continued asking questions. On the surface, there was no discernible inclination, but it seemed more like a test, and it wasn't just directed at Kyohiko.

We arrived at Minato Namikaze.

After their conversation, Minato Namikaze up.

"Feudal Lord Daimyo, if you have any requests, please let us know. If we are unable to fulfill them, we can forward them to the village."

"No, I haven't made any requests."

His Feudal Lord was smugly displayed.

Then he clapped his hands.

Before long, the four of them came out from the side hall.

One was older, around thirty years old.

The other three weren't very old, but Kyohiko estimated that two of them were four or five years older than the other three, and looked more mature and older.

As for the little monk, he should undoubtedly be Chiriku.

After they entered, their eyes were fixed on Kyohiko and Kakashi.

"They are the rogue ninjas who recently joined me. This is Motohashi, one of them is Kazuma, the other is Takemasa, and this is Chiriku. They are ninja monks from the Fire Temple, and they are responsible for protecting my safety."

"That's Feudal Lord explained."

It really was them Kazuma and Chiriku.

So, the ninjas he sensed earlier were subordinates of these wandering ninjas, and not Danzo as he had imagined?

Kyohiko frowned.

But.

If there were such a quantity, how come there are only a few left?

"That's right, the three of them are about the same age as you, so they want to spar with you and see just how strong the geniuses of Konoha really are."

Maru Ichikyu explained.

Motohashi nodded. "That's right, Minato Jonin. I wonder if I would have the honor of learning from you?"

"Of course, no problem."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

It's just a friendly exchange, no problem.

Kazuma other two stepped forward.

The two of them didn't give each other a friendly look, only Chiriku politely bowed and even formed a Seal of Confrontation.

Kyohiko returned the greeting.

Seeing this, Kakashi and Guy also solemnly Hand Seals.

It was only then that Kazuma and Takemasa formed Seal of Confrontation.

Immediately, Kazuma a flick of his wrist, iron claws shot out and swiftly charged towards Kyohiko.

but.

The instant he made his move.

Choke!

A knife was already held in front of his claws.

Sparks flew as the blades clashed, and Kakashi withdrew his sword and retreated.

In an instant.

Boom!

The sparks seemed to ignite the surrounding air, exploding into a giant fireball that engulfed Kazuma's face.

Kakashi's lips curled into a slight smile.

A new sword technique...

Success!

Kazuma quickly retreated, but his skills were indeed remarkable. He swiftly withdrew his hands and used the cloth on his body to extinguish the fire, managing to avoid injury.

However, without a doubt, he lost a great deal of face.

He thought he was not much different from the Konoha Ninja, so he charged forward confidently, only to be ambushed and nearly injured.

Kai went to challenge Takemasa to a duel.

Kyohiko then tacitly faced off against Chiriku.

Their opponent was a subordinate of the Feudal Lord, and they couldn't afford to let him lose too humiliatingly. Otherwise, Kakashi's strike would have injured Kazuma in the very first exchange.

It seems that Kazuma is still not as good as Kakashi.

As for Might Guy...

The opponent seems to be skilled in Earth Style and has extremely strong defense. Without using power above "Gate of Opening," it will probably be difficult to break through in a short time.

"Donor!"

He bowed to the Chiriku.

Kyohiko nodded, then formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand and threw a punch forward.

The Willow Transformation!

Chiriku's gaze was unfocused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, his eyes revealing surprise.

He immediately retaliated with a punch, knocking Kyohiko away, cold sweat already beading on his forehead.

Is this what you call being bad at Genjutsu?

If the opponent were even faster, and had a knife in their hand...

With a few powerful punches, Chiriku knocked Kyohiko back, and his gaze swept over him, instantly understanding everything—

Kyohiko carried a knife on his back and a short blade at his waist.

Obviously.

This was originally a sword technique, but the opponent held back and didn't use their full strength.

If it were a knife, that one strike would have at least injured him, and if Kyohiko were any faster, he would have certainly died.

No wonder the opponent was Jonin!

Chiriku suppressed his pride, immediately performed a Buddhist salute, and said, "Be careful, benefactor. Although I haven't fully mastered it, its power is still considerable..."

"Good."

Kyohiko's eyes lit up.

Talent of the Immortal Clan!

I never expected that Chiriku would actually master it!

Good!

The next moment, he felt a powerful Chakra erupt from Chiriku.

In that instant, Chiriku's face paled slightly.

Obviously.

This move is quite a burden for him right now.

Kyohiko immediately took action.

First...

The speed wasn't increased too much, just about half the usual level.

Draw your sword!

Choke!

As the blade slashed through the air, he felt a terrifying resistance, followed by several invisible fists striking him, instantly sending him flying.

It hurts!

Kyohiko winced in pain.

He hadn't been beaten this badly in a long time.

But.

This, however, sparked his curiosity.

The next instant, his speed increased again.

Chiriku maintained his Chakra, sensing his surroundings. However, he had barely seen Kyohiko stand up when he sensed something else—

The other party has arrived!

Wow, so fast!

Bang!

Kyohiko was knocked away again.

The Chiriku were utterly shaken.

Just now, he didn't even see Kyohiko's movements clearly, but the fact that his opponent was sent flying meant that Kyohiko had completed an attack.

If it weren't for the Senju Kill...

Chiriku was shocked by Kyohiko's strength, unaware that the others were also astonished by the power of his move.

It's rare to see someone of Kyohiko's age in such a sorry state these days.

"This is an absolute defense. Unless I run out of Chakra, you cannot break through my defense. I haven't mastered it very well yet. If I were to fully master it, this technique could have another variation."

Chiriku honestly replied.

"That's really impressive!"

Kyohiko nodded in agreement.

He closed his eyes and amplified his senses.

On Chiriku's body, Chakra formed a shape resembling the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

The covering Chakra completely envelops the opponent, and unless this layer of Chakra can be directly broken through, it will be of no use.

In this state, the opponent's Chakra is incredibly stable, and Genjutsu cannot shake it.

One method is to bombard the enemy with Ninjutsu, forcing them to counterattack frequently, thereby creating Chakra gap in Jiraiya's Chiriku, and then rushing in to deliver a fatal blow.

Hidan and Kakuzu might have done just that.

However, for Kyohiko, the outcome was not important.

He was more concerned with the principles behind the technique.

Kyohiko Hand Seals.

Immediately, the water dragon roared and rose up.

At the same time, he Hand Seals with one hand to maintain the water dragon, while crouching down with the other hand to reach into the ground.

Boom!

The powerful impact continued to slam into that layer of Chakra.

An invisible fist pounded against the water dragon.

but.

Each time it shattered, the water dragon quickly reformed.

After reaching the "Mastery" level, Kyohiko was able to maintain the output of Water Dragon Bullet unless the opponent directly countered his Ninjutsu head-on.

A battle ensued.

Wow!

The water broke out and rushed towards the surrounding walls.

Minato immediately stood in front of the Feudal Lord, Hand Seals, and a gust of wind blew out from his mouth, blowing away the scattered water.

He stared intently at the Feudal Lord, unable to hide his excitement.

The Chiriku is not weak.

The Fire Temple is truly sincere!

Minato Namikaze was also surprised by the power of this move.

but.

At this moment, Kyohiko had a general idea.

The Welcome Thousand-Hand Murder essentially involves gathering a large amount of special Chakra in the body. The Chakra may appear static, but it actually moves rapidly when attacked.

As for "Talent of the Immortal Clan"...

Perhaps it is a special way of utilizing Natural Energy, and it is this power that allows the Chakra of the Chiriku to automatically defend and counterattack.

To break this, the connection between the Chiriku's Chakra and the outside world must be severed.

Or, to disrupt the Chakra of the Chiriku.

If this were Chiriku more than twenty years later, this method would be of little use, but now that he is just beginning to learn this technique, one can sense his naivety through his senses.

After clarifying the situation, Kyohiko already had a solution.

certainly.

Limited to the current Chiriku.

He Hand Seals with one hand, spewing water from his mouth, while gathering Chakra in his other hand and pouring more Chakra into the "Water Wave".

The fists retaliated with a resounding thud.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

Why is this happening?

Chiriku was greatly surprised.

He felt his counterattacks growing weaker and weaker, until finally his Chakra disappeared.

The next instant, a knife was held against his neck.

Kyohiko sheathed his sword and formed a Seal of Reconciliation.

Chiriku paused for a moment, then formed the same Hand Seals.

After the Seal of Reconciliation was completed, the sparring was supposed to end, but he didn't understand.

How did you crack it?

"Your use of Chakra is too rudimentary; it can be interfered with and isolated by my Chakra."

Kyohiko explained, "If your Chakra control is more refined, and you understand this ability more deeply, my method will be of little use."

"So that's how it is..."

Chiriku immediately understood.

It's still because my self-cultivation is insufficient!

If one's cultivation is sufficient, it cannot be easily broken.

He immediately bowed and thanked them.

Kyohiko was naturally not comfortable accepting such a gift.

If I'm not mistaken...

The Talent of the Immortal Clan should be the application of Natural Energy.

Unlike Sage Mode, it is not directly absorbed into the body, but rather the Chakra is refined and then transformed externally using some method.

Knowing the principle...

If I learn Sage Mode in the future, I might be able to imitate similar effects.

Kyohiko glanced at the others and saw that they were still "practicing," so he started talking to Chiriku.

"Could you tell me what this technique is called?"

"Welcome - Senju Kill," but in your Konoha, it's probably called by another name more often.

The Chiriku Path is generally referred to by outsiders as Talent of the Immortal Clan.

"Amazing!"

Kyohiko praised it.

Without a system, to master the Talent of the Immortal Clan at such a young age, Chiriku's talent and abilities are not weak. It's a pity he's a ninja monk from the Fire Temple, not Konoha Ninja.

Trying to get freebies now is twice as difficult.

Unless, of course, he's willing to become Guardian Ninja.

but.

Give up an entire forest for a single tree?

Kyohiko smiled.

A moment later, Kakashi and Might Guy finished their tasks one after the other.

Clearly, Feudal Lord was very satisfied.

Although Kazuma and his companions were no match for Kyohiko and his two companions, this was within his expectations. The fact that they could hold out for so long showed that the three of them were not weak and were more than capable of protecting him.

The money was well spent!

Seeing that the other party was happy, Minato Namikaze took the opportunity to express his desire to return to the village.

Unable to persuade them to stay, Feudal Lord had no choice but to allow them to leave.

Maru Ichikyu said, "Father..."

"They won't become Guardian Ninja, so staying would be futile. It's better to maintain a semblance of peace."

"Feudal Lord said calmly."

Immediately, he looked at Motohashi and smiled, "Mr. Motohashi, you can leave a few people with me, and I can give you some money and even show you some directions."

"Feudal Lord Excellency, I did not come here for the money..."

This Motohashi will respond immediately.

but.

Feudal Lord waved his hand.

"No matter why you're here, I only need a few elites; the rest are unnecessary."

"But..."

We still need to strive for this Motohashi.

Feudal Lord stood up, a hint of weariness on his face. "I'm tired. It's my Shikyu. Let's see them off."

"Yes!"

That night, Motohashi, along with more than twenty wandering ninjas, left Kyoto, holding his breath.

He couldn't believe it.

The Feudal Lord actually refused!

Madness!

Motohashi could hardly contain his anger, but then he thought of the two people left behind and felt a little comforted.

At least the seeds were thrown in.

Whether it can grow into a towering tree depends on the abilities of Kazuma and Takemasa.

"Sir, where do we go next?"

"According to the Feudal Lord, we'll go to the Land of Tea."

"Yes!"

The group headed towards the Land of Tea, but they hadn't gone very far.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

Ahead, a man stood by the river, leaning on a cane.

His pupils contracted, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"It seems you recognize me."

Danzo turned around, his gaze sweeping over them, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "A bunch of wandering ninjas, and they actually recognize me? How can you expect me to trust you?"

"You!"

Under the moonlight, Motohashi's face was deathly pale, and he kept backing away.

Danzo, however, remained completely calm.

He sighed softly and said, "I hadn't noticed you at first, but unfortunately, you have the same goal as me, so I discovered you..."

"You bunch of Iwagakure rats think you can shake the Land of Fire?"

Danzo opened his eyes.

Immediately, he Hand Seals and spat out a Wind Blade.

Under manipulation, the continuous Wind Blade transformed into chaotic and complex lines of death.

Even though those people used Earth Style Ninjutsu, they still couldn't stop Danzo's terrifying Wind Blade Ninjutsu.

Instantly, the outskirts of the city turned into a living hell.

Afterward, he picked up his cane, which was stuck in the ground, and slowly walked towards Kyoto.

In another direction, Kyohiko pressed one finger to the ground, his eyes closed, Chakra spread along his finger.

He quickly Awakening, his expression one of utter shock.

"What's wrong?"

"Those people seemed to have been driven away by the Feudal Lord, but they were all wiped out in an instant by someone else!"

Kyohiko said in a low voice.

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted.

They've all been killed?

Who has such strength?

The Land of Fire...

Minato Namikaze's expression was grave.

"Are you able to sense the other person's Chakra level?"

"Cannot."

If Chakra Sensory Technique, it might be possible, but he can't do it now.

Minato Namikaze rubbed his temples.

Kyohiko's technique...

He had heard about it before from the Third Generation, but in recent years he had been busy practicing Flying Thunder God Technique and Sealing Technique, and had no time to practice other techniques.

Otherwise, he could be of some help now.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and said, "The situation inside the village is complicated. In the short term, our intelligence control is probably much weaker than before, and we may not be able to find any clues about the other side."

"Report this to the Lord Hokage and let him decide."

"This is the only way, but I'm not entirely at ease with Feudal Lord."

Minato Namikaze.

He thought for a moment and said, "You all go back to the village first. I'll go protect the Feudal Lord to prevent them from coming for Feudal Lord."

"I'll go with you..."

"No! Kyohiko, I Flying Thunder God Technique, which can instantly take Feudal Lord away. But I've only just mastered Flying Thunder God, and I can only take one at most. Keeping you around will only be a burden to me."

Minato Namikaze immediately refused, then said sternly, "I am the captain, my words are orders. Take the intelligence and leave."

"Yes!"

Kyohiko stood up.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze vanished instantly.

Kai was stunned.

This is not Body Flicker Technique!

Kakashi recalled for a moment, then speculated, "Space-Time Ninjutsu?"

"Probably. Let's go, staying here won't be of much help."

"Um."
