The Tsuchikage Is Old

Moreover, it wasn't just stones that flew up.

From the best vantage point in the stadium, Karatachi Yagura was seeing rain falling, albeit in the opposite direction.

His subordinates, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, flew into the sky along with the shattered earth.

Most people probably won't live to see the view at the end of the flight, because during the process, the debris of the earth being pulled into the sky is also colliding with each other.

At the very least, if Karatachi Yagura hadn't had the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak, he would have been knocked unconscious, if not killed.

He was flying too.

The Mizukage, who was so focused on revitalizing Kirigakure, suddenly felt disheartened.

Perhaps he was just unlucky, just like the First Mizukage.

Karatachi Yagura looked up at the sky; everything was converging towards that black sphere.

He knew, of course, that the black sphere was the weakness of this Ninjutsu.

But now, he could no longer see the black sphere. The black sphere was being buried very quickly, and at his current speed, he couldn't gather enough Tailed Beast Ball to break through the ever-growing rock sphere above.

Uchiha Shingen dug up the entire earth, revealing a bottomless abyss beneath. Faced with such a massive mass, the Tailed Beast Ball was of little use.

Among the Tailed Beasts, the Three-Tails is not the best. Although the gap between the Jinchūriki can be minimized as much as possible, some gaps are insurmountable.

A deafening roar filled his ears; he had been absorbed into the sphere.

The last thing Karatachi Yagura saw was a large plot of land big enough for a dozen people to train together, with several Mist Ninja, already mangled and lifeless from the impact, looming over it.

Then darkness fell, and only a series of thuds could be heard.

Feeling the vibration, Karatachi Yagura realized that this must be a Sealing Jutsu.

Just as he was thinking this, his eyes suddenly lit up; this was the last thing he saw in his life.

Outside the already formed Chibaku Tensei, an extremely long Totsuka Blade was deeply embedded in this huge rock sphere and was slowly being pulled out.

Within Susanoo, a Chakra different from Matatabi gradually emerged from Uchiha Shingen's hand.

He is very satisfied now.

Now the regret of never having solo-killed a Shadow has been made up for.

Most of the Mist Ninja Army has been wiped out, so we only need to focus on attacking their reinforcements instead of scrambling to catch rats all over the mountains.

And with another Tailed Beast Chakra obtained, he's one step closer to a grand slam.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Tsuchikage Has Grown Old

When he withdrew the Totsuka Blade, Uchiha Shingen had already cut off his Chakra supply.

As the Totsuka Blade was completely removed, the giant rock sphere in the air officially collapsed.

Those who came from the earth, return to the earth.

The debris fell like rain, but most of it crashed into the ground before it could disintegrate.

Those who are drawn up by the Chibaku Tensei will not survive.

It's a bit cruel to do this, but there's no other way.

After all, the Mist Ninja are not like the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja; they are far too good at spreading their attacks, and their destructive power is too great.

The Mist Ninja Army has a very strong grassroots organizational capacity, but as an organization with decades of history, it inevitably picks up some habits, such as...

Let the Mizukage go first.

Even if the Mizukage looked like she was about to kneel.

On the battlefield of ninjas, it's really not easy to strictly distinguish between friend and foe when unleashing your ultimate skill, but it becomes much easier if the enemy has a Kage and your own commander has good teamwork.

Even the arrogant Mist Ninja, though they might assassinate their own Mizukage when they go crazy, have become the most popular Mizukage since the First Mizukage due to Karatachi Yagura Kirigakure over the past decade. Seeing him, it's instinctive for Mist Ninja to gravitate towards Mizukage.

After all, in the eyes of the Mist Ninja, the previous Mizukage was really unreliable, so it was not easy to find such a reliable one.

Of the several thousand Mist Ninja, ninety percent were left behind, and fewer than a hundred escaped.

Among this group of fewer than a hundred people, there was also a Jinchūriki, Uchiha Shingen also sensed other familiar Chakra.

However, with the Leaf Village ninja army already stockpiled at the border, the size of these Mist Ninja was no longer sufficient to disrupt the southern border of the Land of Fire, so they had no choice but to join forces with the main force.

The seven who are best at solo missions and sabotaging the rear have also been sent. How to divide the seven knives is a matter for the clan council.

The Mist Ninja are no longer a problem.

However, this experiment gave Uchiha Shingen a general idea of what he had done with the Rinnegan that he had obtained through trickery.

In conclusion, judging from his ability to easily defeat Karatachi Yagura, he now truly possesses the ability to resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi in the final battle and is qualified to compete with Uchiha Madara.

His raw skill surpasses that of current film masters; he's practically a god.

However, his Rinnegan is indeed different from Uchiha Madara's.

Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan was obtained by drawing upon the power of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who possessed the chakra of both Indra and Asura Chakra, and by activating his own Ōtsutsuki Clan bloodline.

It's like taking a bunch of stuff from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, but since it was a forced take, the amount was limited, so it's not as good as Uchiha Sasuke from the original timeline.

Uchiha Sasuke's eye might have surpassed Uchiha Madara's pair in terms of power, at least in terms of function.

Taking the technique Chibaku Tensei as an example, both Uchiha Sasuke and Hagoromo Otsutsuki directly designated the gravitational source. Hagoromo Otsutsuki could simply authorize it, while Uchiha Madara could not. He had to create his own gravitational source, but he could use many at the same time. Based on this ability, he also developed his technique "Heavenly Justice".

Uchiha Shingen harvested the remains of the Ten-Tails, drawing upon the Tailed Beasts's Chakra. He was slightly weaker than Uchiha Madara, and could only create one gravitational source at a time.

Overall, it has all the functions, but it requires less power.

Of course, it's not without its advantages. He might be able to use this to seize control of the Demon Phase, but that's just speculation. We won't know until we actually encounter it.

Furthermore, even with the Rinnegan, one can defeat the Complete Body Susanoo without activating Sage Mode.

Once you've figured out what needs to be understood, all that's left is to rely on combat to truly master these eyes.

Uchiha Shingen turned back towards the Leaf Village ninja army in the distance.

As he approached, the Konoha Ninja below cheered.

A few hundred people fighting four thousand is completely different from one person fighting four people. In other words, the Uchiha Clan were truly formidable Hyuga Clan they fought together.

The Hyuga Clan ninjas complained that their fingers were numb from poking around all day.

There isn't even a single Genin among these Mist Ninja.

Upon reaching his own camp, Uchiha Shingen canceled his Susanoo and descended.

"Shingen!" Uchiha Fugaku took the lead, "Thank you for your hard work!"

At the same time, he silently recited it in his mind.

The Sage of Six Paths has incredibly sharp eyes!

No wonder Amegakure became peaceful once they had a pair of Rinnegan.

"Chieftain, you know about what happened in the clan's territory, right?"

"Yes, everyone knows." Uchiha Fugaku nodded. "After all, it couldn't be kept secret forever."

"Yes..." Uchiha Shingen also said, "Since Clan Chief Madara has revealed himself in this way, he won't hide himself."

He couldn't figure out what Uchiha Madara was trying to do.

Let's take it one step at a time.

After all, they stopped Shisui from using Kotoamatsukami in time.

At this time, the Mangekyō Sharingan possesses two overpowered Dōjutsu.

One is Uchiha Obito's Kamui, and the other is Uchiha Shisui Kotoamatsukami; both are things that have already transcended the meaning represented by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

If Uchiha Madara suddenly turns on you, then Kotoamatsukami is your secret weapon.

I don't need to change Uchiha Madara's will permanently; influencing him for a time is enough.

The cooldown timer for this thing is really long. In the original timeline, it took ten years, but in this timeline, Shisui only used it once, and it took eight years to complete the cooldown. This was only after he slowly replenished his eye power with Yang Release.

By this time, there wouldn't be another eight years.

"By the way," Uchiha Fugaku suddenly said, "I heard from Shisui that you used the Fourth Mizukage to level that piece of land in the south?"

Before Uchiha Shingen could respond, he continued:

"That's good. It's free, and this way, we won't have to argue about whether or not the area should be demolished."

Uchiha Fugaku naturally had no objections; he was a demolition advocate for that piece of land.

Those who refuse to dismantle the buildings are in the minority; they are mostly elderly people, and their representative is Uchiha Setsuna.

The area to the south is the old site where the Uchiha Clan first moved. The older generation grew up there and has an emotional attachment to it, but the younger generation doesn't want to live there. They feel it's too far from the commercial district, the facilities are outdated, it's too close to the prison, and the living environment is poor.

The elderly people live with their families and descendants, so the whole piece of land is left vacant, which is a waste.

"Chieftain, I'll head west now."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll handle things here. I've already arranged for the support troops to depart."

Uchiha Shingen nodded, got up, and flew into the sky, heading west.

He also saw Matatabi, who was lying down resting. As he flew over, the big cat raised its head and glanced at him.

That glance probably means—how much longer until the game is over?

It probably wants to go back and continue playing with the Uchiha Clan cubs.

If it knew that Uchiha Madara was also in the clan's territory, it probably wouldn't think that way.

However, Uchiha Shingen felt he was overthinking things; not every Tailed Beasts had necessarily seen Uchiha Madara.

The Light-Weight Rock Flying Technique has a very high speed, and its only drawback is that it cannot use other Ninjutsu at full speed.

As Uchiha Shingen entered the western district, he realized that perhaps the west was the most challenging area.

The Rock Ninja are skilled in earthworks, and although they are not as numerous as the Mist Ninja, defensive structures are of little use to them.

The west wall has collapsed.

[Those who sit in the Hokage Building, they're really ruthless...]

Uchiha Shingen had this idea.

The plan to lure the enemy into a trap has been implemented relatively smoothly so far.

According to the people in the Hokage Building, if they didn't have any, so be it; but if they did, they could annihilate a large number of the enemy's elite forces in one fell swoop, thus gaining an advantage on the battlefield later.

Leaf Village knows best what role a skilled fighter can play on the battlefield.

Demolishing a bunch of houses is no big deal; just adjust the fourth phase of construction planning. The construction projects in the Land of Fire have been saturated in recent years, leaving many construction teams without work, which would cause social problems.

The villagers of Hidden Leaf Village began their evacuation long before the Joint Chunin Exams, and everything was carried out in secret in batches; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many guesthouses.

In other words, Rasa suddenly jumped out this time, while the other key targets were all fine and entered the program naturally.

When he flew to the original western wall area, he saw the four villages' ninjas fighting each other.

The combined forces of Iwagakure and Cloud Village are launching a fierce attack.

The Konoha Ninja fought alongside the Sand Village.

The Sand Ninja has few people, but their mechanical skills are really convenient for fighting.

Uchiha Shingen immediately spotted Ōnoki.

There is also Rasa.

Ōnoki has really gotten old.

In the original timeline, he fought with his life on the line, but in this time and place, he hasn't reached that level yet.

Uchiha Shingen also saw Gaara, but he looked rather pitiful.

Who hit him?

Uchiha Shingen may have had his thoughts, but his actions didn't slow down.

He dashed into the densest area of enemy forces in a flash.

Just as it came to a stop at low altitude, Storm Release rays came hurtling towards it.

This is pure Ninjutsu.
