Art Is Eternity!

"This is... Wood Release?!" Sasori's eyes flashed with surprise.

The deeds of the First Hokage are known throughout the Shinobi World, and all nations have a consistent account of his strength: he was incredibly powerful! Incomparably powerful.

Along with the First Hokage, he is remembered for his unique Wood Style Secret Technique.

Throughout the Shinobi World, all sorts of strange Kekkei Genkai.

However, only the First Hokage could use Wood Release from beginning to end.

The man in front of me, wearing Spiral Mask, actually used the same Wood Style Secret Technique as the First Hokage, and its power was astonishing!

Boom!

Just as Scorpion was momentarily stunned, Wood Dragon's body bent and coiled into a ball, then suddenly straightened up like a spring and shot towards Scorpion in the sky.

"Not good!"

Sasori's expression changed slightly. He quickly controlled the Third Kazekage to rise higher and fly towards a greater height. At the same time, he used the Magnet Release Secret Technique to create an even larger Iron Sand cube, which was placed in front of him to block the path of the Wood Dragon.

Boom--!

Although the giant Iron Sand cube was smashed open by the Wood Dragon, Sasori took the opportunity to fly to a higher place. After feeling that he had maintained a safe distance, Sasori looked down and smiled smugly, "Even if you have learned the First's Wood Release, you cannot escape the limitation of gravity!"

"Can this height be considered flying?" Shiraha leaped up, and Wood Dragon, who was landing in mid-air, ducked down and caught him.

' Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!'

Rumble~

The earth trembled.

A Wood Golem, nearly 100 meters tall, was crouching on the ground.

The Wood Dragon, originally over thirty meters long, resembled a scarf wrapped around the neck of the Wood Golem, while Shiraha stood atop the Wood Dragon's head, gazing at Sasori not far above.

"This... this..." Kakuzu dropped open, his expression somewhat bewildered. He had been defeated by the First Hokage's Wood Clone back then, and his knowledge of the power of Wood Release was limited to legends. For the First Hokage, an opponent like him would probably only need to use Wood Clone Technique.

"How could this be... Oh no!" Scorpion's smile froze, and the hundred-meter-tall giant suddenly pushed off the ground, leaping into the sky.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Wood Golem's body shot towards Sasori.

Iron Sand Gathering Assault!

Iron Sand World Method!

Iron Sand Drizzle!

Sasori controlled the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet, continuously unleashing various Magnet Release Ninjutsu. However, the Wood Golem simply waved its hand and blocked them all. The massive Iron Sand cube was like a building block that a child could easily move in the Wood Golem's hand, and then it was thrown away.

Iron Sand Sky Wings!

The Human Puppet rapidly expanded its Iron Sand Wings and flapped them to fly higher. However, faced with the explosive speed of the Wood Golem, it didn't have time to rise higher before being slapped and falling straight down, creating a large crater in the ground.

As the Wood Golem and Wood Dragon fell from the sky, Shiraha released both techniques to prevent the commotion from becoming too great.

If this weren't deep in the mountains, it would probably attract a lot of attention.

Of course, the most important reason is that these two techniques consume an enormous amount of Chakra, leaving less than 30% of the Chakra in this materialized body.

It seems I need to find a way to increase the Chakra of this avatar.

Otherwise, the true power of Wood Release cannot be unleashed.

The Wood Human Technique he just used was probably not even as good as the wooden puppet that the White Creature used that day.

Not to mention, he couldn't even compare to the First Hokage.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before Wood Release can be used to achieve the same level of power as the First.

After landing on the ground, Shiraha arrived at the edge of the crater created by the scorpion's body. Looking at the motionless scorpion in the crater, he said in a calm tone, "Stop pretending. Your body has probably been modified as well. One slap won't kill you!"

Click!

Suddenly, the scorpion's body in the pit made a sound like a puppet moving its joints. Then, the scorpion's broken body was pieced back together, and it crawled out of the pit.

Beneath him, the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet remained motionless in the center of the crater.

At this moment, Kakuzu arrived beside Shiraha, preparing to attack Sasori.

"Wait a minute," Shiraha suddenly said.

Kakuzu paused. If it were before, he would naturally ignore Shiraha, but the situation was different now.

After witnessing Shiraha's terrifying Wood Release, Kakuzu's mindset underwent some changes.

Even if he wasn't the First Hokage, he's still inextricably linked to the First.

He was able to live to be over eighty years old thanks to the Earth Grudge Fear technique. Could the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was known as the God of Shinobi, really have died from his injuries after his great battle with Uchiha Madara?

Couldn't the First Hokage have faked his death?

Although the possibility is very low, Kakuzu doesn't want to take the gamble.

At least for now, ' Kodama ' is an ally, not an enemy, so Kakuzu doesn't want to provoke him.

After seeing Kakuzu stop, Shiraha looked at Sasori beside him, whose hand was controlling the Third Kazekage Human Puppet in the pit.

"Scorpion, I advise you not to act rashly. Our patience is also limited."

Scorpion paused, looked at Shiraha, and asked, "What exactly is your purpose?"

"At first, we just wanted your head, after all, it's worth 10 Million Ryo, which is no small matter. But now I've changed my mind, you can obviously create greater value if you're alive."

I now formally invite you to join our ' Infinite Ring ' organization and become one of us.

Shiraha said.

"The Infinite Ring?" Sasori was taken aback. "I've never heard of such an organization in the Shinobi World. With your strength, such an organization should be quite well-known."

Shiraha: "We are a newly established organization that has not yet attracted the attention of major powers. In addition, there are only four core members, including the leader and ourselves."

"A new organization?" Scorpion fell silent, clearly contemplating the current situation. He had no interest in joining a new organization; he didn't need companions, nor did he want to be bound by them. However, this organization was obviously quite powerful, and he didn't have much of a choice in the current situation.

"Who is the leader of this organization? Compared to you, who is stronger?"

After a moment of silence, Scorpion asked.

"Once you join the organization, you'll eventually meet the leader. The ' Dragon King ' is far more powerful than me," Shiraha said calmly.

Kakuzu's Kakuzu narrowed, but considering that Shiraha had recently defeated the Third Raikage in a direct battle, it seemed that what Kodama said made sense.

However, in Kakuzu's opinion, Kodama did not seem to have used his full strength in the battle just now, and his true strength was definitely stronger.

"Much stronger than you?!" Scorpion's expression changed in surprise, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Even though he turned the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage in history, into Human Puppet, he was still suppressed by the Masked Man in front of him. And the "Dragon King" is even stronger?!

"What is the purpose of your organization?" Scorpion couldn't help but ask.

Shiraha: "The first stage is accumulating funds, and the second stage is establishing a nation. Of course, the organization's ultimate goal is to pursue eternity!"

"Pursue eternity!" Scorpion's eyes lit up.

Indeed, only eternal life has value, and Art is Eternity!

I never expected that the leader of the Infinite Ring Organization would be such a person of taste.

Thinking of this, Scorpion asked, "Can I refuse to join?"

Shiraha chuckled lightly and countered with, "What do you think?"

"Okay, then I'll join the organization," Scorpion nodded.

"Welcome," Shiraha said with a smile. "From now on, your codename will be ' Luban '!"

"Luban?"
