Fierce Clash
Hokage Building
In the rest room, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a crystal ball placed in front of him on a futon Sarutobi Hiruzen Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu were also watching the battle from the crystal ball.
"Uchiha Nara actually learned Tsunade's Ninjutsu. No wonder Tsunade refused missions. Sigh."
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the entire story from beginning to end. When he saw Naraku's Creation Rebirth, he understood the cause and effect and sighed inwardly.
As a Ninjutsu professor in Konoha, he is familiar with almost all of Konoha's Ninjutsu.
The ability to use Telescope Technique by relying on a barrier is a sensory Ninjutsu innovation developed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, relying on Konoha's sensory barrier, used a crystal ball to spy on all of Konoha's bathhouses.
Using a barrier to seal off the area, then setting up a perception barrier, and observing with Telescope Technique — Sarutobi Hiruzen is an expert in this.
Shimura Danzō's hidden sensory barrier within the Four Violet Flames Formation was directly broken by Sarutobi Hiruzen, who hacked into the sensory barrier secretly set up within the Four Violet Flames Formation and was also spying on everything.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen claimed to know nothing about the operation, he still needed to keep track of the situation on the ground, as well as information on the elite Ninjutsu of the Root and Uchiha Nara 'Sarutobi Hiruzen Ninjutsu.
"This Third Hokage member of Root must be transferred to the Anbu!"
Utatane Koharu, however, seemed different from the Third Hokage, constantly observing the others' Ninjutsu.
The three watched the battle between Naraku and Zensui ahead. Now, seeing Naraku fighting against the Root members, especially the Root elites who wielded Wood Release Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu with ease, as if the First Hokage were alive again, they felt even more fear.
Such a powerful ninja is too dangerous.
"That Uchiha Zensui is the most dangerous. He uses Izanagi without losing his sight. Is he even a human ninja who can handle that? The Uchiha are too dangerous! This Uchiha Zensui must be killed!"
Mitokado Homura was equally focused on what he saw. Upon hearing Utatane Koharu's words, Mitokado Homura truly felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Uchiha Zensui's Dōjutsu.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a mix of emotions. Known as the "Hero of Shinobi Hero," he had once overpowered all others. Seeing the battles between ninjas now, he couldn't help but feel that he was outdated.
"These ninjas can only be recruited into the Anbu or disposed of. They're too dangerous; they're a hidden danger to Konoha, and we absolutely cannot allow them to exist! En, Koharu, the burden on our shoulders is still very heavy!"
"It's only right that our teacher entrusted this village to us, for Third Hokage."
Xiaochun, who Utatane Koharu, nodded in response, indicating her support.
"I will fully support you, Third Hokage. You must strengthen control over Root and the Uchiha!"
At this moment, Mitokado Homura was thinking about how to weaken the Root and the Uchiha, as these ninjas had already posed a serious threat to Konoha.
Utatane Koharu dorm, stared intently at the red-haired, Masked Man.
"Such a good kid, tortured by Danzo in Root, I wonder if he can still understand the Will of Fire. If we can recruit him, with the Yellow Flash on the surface and Wood Release ninja like this in the shadows, Konoha won't have to worry for the next thirty years."
"It was my oversight. I was too lenient with Root and didn't pay attention to their personnel. We must find out exactly how many ninja Root has, and we must also find out how many children Root needs to be saved!"
The Third Hokage, pipe in mouth, spoke emphatically. He wanted to save those lost souls like the red-haired man within the Root.
"Fuinjutsu: Four-Symbols Seal!"
Red Moon quickly Hand Seals, the Ninjutsu was formed, he bent down and slammed his palm on the ground, countless dense black runes emerged and quickly spread towards Naraku.
Naraku might not take other Ninjutsu seriously, but as a Naraku of Fuinjutsu, he would never be careless or negligent when it came to them.
"Chidori Current!"
Sparks crackled around Naraku, and a powerful electric current shattered the branches binding him, freeing him from his restraints.
Naraku his remaining Chakra into his left hand, slapped it against a tree branch to support himself, bent his elbow, and unleashed a burst of Chakra, propelling himself into the air to dodge the sweeping black runes.
"Fuinjutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
The red-haired man named Red Moon changed the hand Hand Seals of his ninjutsu and used the Fuinjutsu Adamantine Sealing Chains to intercept Naraku, timing it perfectly.
As soon as Naraku exerted his strength and took off a short distance, several golden iron chains flew out of the tree branch and began to wrap around Naraku. Naraku in the air, his old strength still lingering and his new strength yet to be generated. Upon seeing the golden iron chains, his expression turned solemn and his hands quickly Hand Seals.
The golden iron chains moved with incredible speed, binding Naraku was halfway up in the air, and pressing him down onto the black runes on the ground.
After the black runes wrapped around Naraku, a flash of blue light appeared, especially on Naraku's lower abdomen, where a vortex-shaped mark formed, with a Chakra mark in each of the four directions of the Uzumaki: southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest.
Wow!
Bound by the Four-Symbols Seal Technique, Naraku let out a scream as he was wrapped into a black rune cocoon. The black cocoon then transformed back into black runes and returned to Red Moon's feet.
"Earth Substitution?"
Red Moon noticed that Naraku in the blue light during the Four-Symbols Seal showed a muddy yellow hue, and the cold, stern face behind the mask furrowed.
Originally, Red Moon should have dropped the sealing vessel and received the black runes, but instead, she closed her eyes and, in less than a second, formed the Red Moon hand Snake Seal again.
The roots beneath the trees behind Red Moon surged, and thick roots emerged from the ground, binding and binding Naraku's true form, pulling him out of the earth.
"Hmm? You absorb Chakra so quickly? Since I can't capture you alive, I'll have to kill you!"
Red Moon saw that Naraku had been captured, but noticed that the Chakra Ninjutsu the Deep Forest Emergence technique was dissipating, and in the lush forest, several large trees even had yellow leaves from autumn.
Without hesitation, Red Moon gathered Chakra at his feet, bent his knees, and unleashed a Taijutsu Body Flicker Technique towards Naraku.
"Snort!"
Naraku was originally absorbing Chakra underground, but after being pulled out by Wood Release, he sensed a dangerous aura. Flames erupted from Naraku's bound body, and his entire body began to burn fiercely.
On this trip to the Capital City, some formidable opponents emerged. Naraku had initially thought he would be facing outdated ninjas like Danzo or the Third Hokage.
Naraku, who knew all about Danzo and the Third Hokage's Ninjutsu, didn't take Danzo seriously at all. Little did he know that his opponent was not the Third Hokage or Danzo.
With no idea which unfamiliar ninja would emerge from some hidden corner, no information on their Ninjutsu, and unknown abilities, you have to fight them while searching for their weaknesses.
More importantly, both Uchiha Zensui, who had been lurking for a long time with malicious intentions, and the red-haired man named Red Moon in front of them, were too Yamato and strange.
If this level of skill were placed within the Akatsuki group that Naraku remembered, the two of them could definitely compete for the position of leader.
Naraku's Chakra surged violently, and even more flames began to erupt intensely from his body.
"Fire Style: Ultimate Technique! Heaven's End!"
With a loud shout, Naraku unleashed a torrent of intense, scorching fire within a radius of several dozen meters, igniting the trees within its range and setting them ablaze.
"Uh-huh"
He had a lot on his mind, but the battle unfolded in the blink of an eye. Body Flicker Technique as the red-haired Red Moon's Taijutsu was about to hit Naraku, a pillar of flame suddenly erupted Naraku, causing Red Moon to let out a muffled groan.
