The Ninja God Who Isn't Very Good at Talking

Before he could finish speaking, a roaring sound came from ahead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked over at the sound, his eyes widening in surprise.

"That is..."

In the distance, a giant tree rises into the sky from the buildings, its umbrella-shaped canopy spreading out in the air.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't consider that to be Tenzo.

Tenzo couldn't possibly create such a Wood Release!

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood immediately.

As usual, he goes to attack the front row, Senju Muzoku sneaks up to the back.

But...

I'm almost seventy now! Shouldn't we switch places?

Traitor! You've come just in time!

Orochimaru! What have you done!?

"Teacher Sarutobi, you can't just say things like that. I didn't summon anyone." Orochimaru's figure emerged from the ground ahead, his voice leisurely. "That area is under the jurisdiction of the Kumogakure. My target is only you."

"Orochimaru, what exactly do you intend to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped, sighed, and said, "You're not the kind of person who acts out of boredom or resentment. What is your purpose?"

Lord Wu Zu, let's be reasonable. You go to the front row first this time, and I'll follow shortly.

It's not that I'm being lazy, it's just that I genuinely feel something's wrong with this rebellious student. We're all teachers, so you can understand my mindset!

Out of the corner of his eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw something move and then disappear from the shadows of a nearby building.

Very well, Wu Zu when dealing with his own people, Lord Wuzu still acts like a human being!

They didn't push him, an old man, to his death.

As expected of the man Wu Zu, his righteousness is boundless!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, feeling completely satisfied, was much more at ease.

"Teacher Sarutobi, you seem to be in a better mood all of a sudden."

"You bastard! Orochimaru! You've broken my heart!"

Orochimaru: "... How come I don't see that? You're clearly happy, aren't you? You've finally realized it? I've surpassed you now."

"Heh..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. "Orochimaru, is this your goal? Is this all? To prove yourself to this old man? This isn't like you at all."

"Whether it looks similar or not is another matter. I'm just saying it seriously, so you should take it seriously too," Orochimaru sneered.

That old geezer, so stubborn!

At that moment, in a neighborhood of Hidden Leaf Village, a person emerged from the shadows.

The Senju Muzoku stepped out of the alley and looked up at the Wood Release technique raging not far away.

[Where did Orochimaru get Madara's tissue? That's worth investigating.]

Upon being summoned and seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Senju Muzoku realized that the future had taken a completely different turn from what he remembered.

He, who should never have existed, was Impure World Reincarnation Tensei to fight Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uchiha Madara, who shouldn't have been Impure World Reincarnation at all, has also appeared.

However, neither the big fool nor the rich dog were summoned by Orochimaru.

This plot has gone way off track!

It was correct to persuade the wealthy dog to replace the Impure World Reincarnation version in the Book of Seals, even if it was just a precaution. But now the backdoor has come in handy, hasn't it?

How can such a dangerous technique be written down in its original form in a book? Wouldn't it be better to just teach it orally? What if there's some freak with a wicked heart who can read dozens of lines at a glance and has an amazing memory? How dangerous!

[Without Hashirama, Madara wouldn't be able to stop him, and with that level of precision...]

This wasn't the first time that the Senju Muzoku had used the Impure World Reincarnation as a vessel to carry out its activities, and it was able to analyze the precision of the Impure World Reincarnation immediately.

His current strength is about 90% of what it was when he was alive.

From this perspective, Uchiha Madara is the same, but even with only 90% of his power, he would still be enough to easily defeat any ninja of this era, unless...

There's a big cheat code.

The Senju Muzoku walked towards the direction of the Wood Release technique.

The way he moved was somewhat un-"ninja-like" to modern ninjas.

Ninjas generally prefer to move with their arms hanging back to reduce air resistance. At the same time, with their arms hanging naturally behind them, they are poised to strike and can launch an attack when they encounter an enemy.

This is also the first skill that beginners at the Ninja Academy need to master. New students often fall and develop thick skin in their first year because they don't have a good sense of balance.

During his lifetime, Senju Muzoku interacted frequently with those Chakra warriors and quite enjoyed learning from their ancient martial arts.

For example, by constantly adjusting the center of gravity to achieve the fastest acceleration in the shortest time, one can enhance instantaneous explosive power; by training core strength, one can increase flexibility; and by strengthening direct attacks on the enemy's weaknesses, one can also increase one's own local evasion ability.

After achieving these feats, and incorporating the advantages of ninjas in using Chakra, the Wu Zu technique gained its reputation for shrinking distances and creating vast worlds in a short distance.

This is how he earned the title "Ghost Senju".

He denies the title of "Evil of the Forest," calling it slander.

Why?! Everyone else is killing people, but you guys seem to be the only ones killing fewer people. Why is he the only one who's evil?

A gust of wind rose beneath his feet, his figure moved like lightning, and the wind whipped his clothes, which were not covered by armor, into a fluttering motion.

Disappeared from the street, vanished in a flash on the rooftop.

He landed on the Hokage Rock.

The core area of the battle is right here.

Thinking about it carefully, this should be the location of the Nine-Tails' rampage. I wonder if Naruto Uzumaki is still living such a miserable life in this timeline.

This is precisely the darkness of Hidden Leaf Village, which cannot be avoided.

The darkness of an organization is either obvious or it is stabbed in the back.

The more prosperous and wealthy an organization is, the more it tends to favor the latter.

With Senju Muzoku, one looks down at one's feet.

Even if the face of a wealthy dog were carved into a rock, it would still be the fiercest one.

What a handsome face, how did it become so ugly?

If the big idiot is here, there's no reason why the rich dog shouldn't be.

Great, now that everyone Impure World Reincarnation, the fights won't hurt.

Senju Muzoku gazed ahead. In the very heart of Hidden Leaf Village, the giant tree vines appeared erratically, one here, one there.

This is a mobile warfare strategy.

The roof is better; it's so convenient, you don't even need to ask anyone for help.

Suddenly, the Senju Muzoku saw a figure flash by in the air.

That looks like... a blond guy?

This Body Flicker Technique is absolutely essential.

Moreover, the Wood Release technique was also used to pursue this person.

With Senju Muzoku, he swayed and followed.

The opponent's Body Flicker Technique is very strong, but it's still too straightforward, which is a common weakness among ninjas.

With Senju Muzoku, it was easy to block the opponent's path.

However, both those blocking the way and those being blocked were extremely surprised.

Senju Muzoku slightly as he looked at the handsome blond young man in the Hokage robe ahead.

Shouldn't the Fourth Hokage be dead?

The Nine-Tails didn't cause any trouble?

Namikaze Minato was also surprised to see the Impure World Reincarnation body clad in brown armor in front of him.

Besides the First and Second, there are also!?

"Minato, what are you doing?" The fiery red figure dodged the Wood Release's grasp as it descended towards them.

Uzumaki Kushina spotted the Senju Muzoku at a glance.

"There's another one?" She was also surprised.

The First Hokage and the Second knew each other, since they passed by the Hokage Rock Tenten, but this one, he didn't recognize.

The armor styles of ninjas during the Warring States period were actually quite similar, making it somewhat difficult for Uzumaki Kushina to distinguish whether someone was an ancestor of Leaf Village based on their armor style.

Moreover, it is also Impure World Reincarnation.

Therefore, she judged it to be an enemy that did not require her to attack with respect.

She first landed Namikaze Minato, wrapping one of her tails Namikaze Minato him to replenish his Chakra, while with the other hand she swung her Tailed Beasts claws at the Edo Impure World Reincarnation ahead.

Seeing the fox claws coming at her, Senju Muzoku moved her feet to perfectly dodge them, heading straight for the wooden branches that were heading towards Uzumaki Kushina.

The high-pressure water gun sliced off a branch, and then the Senju Muzoku rushed in, like a wild boar burrowing into a cornfield.

Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina stared in disbelief as the Impure World Reincarnation body dismantled all the newly emerged Wood Release with his bare hands, even uprooting them.

So... this isn't an enemy?

That's incredible! He used his bare hands to smash through Wood Release?

"Huh? Why are you two staring at me?" Senju Muzoku dismantling this area, noticed the Konoha Ninja, who appeared to be the Fourth Hokage and his wife, staring at him. "Go do what you were doing."

Although his gossip-loving spirit was burning brightly, important matters came first.

The fact that he could dismantle Wood Release with his bare hands isn't really surprising. These fragmented, unorganized Wood Release can certainly be dismantled. He's currently in Impure World Reincarnation, so he's not afraid of anything.

Senju Muzoku used a tracking technique to cut a piece from the root that had already been pulled out of the Wood Release.

He lacks Chakra perception, so this is the only way he can compensate for it.

The feedback from the secret technique arrived quickly.

We've found the big idiot!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The God of Shinobi Wasn't Very Good at Speaking

Senju Muzoku and his wife Namikaze Minato, and having received feedback from the secret technique, he quickly left.

Gossip can be satisfied anytime, but the three brothers haven't hung out together in ages!

This unfamiliar future... it seems promising!

To Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, the armored Edo Impure World Reincarnation body vanished in the blink of an eye, but a cluster of Wood Release that had just appeared nearby collapsed with a deafening roar.

"Was she also a senior member of the village?" Uzumaki Kushina sighed. "She was incredibly strong."

She really likes this somewhat violent fighting style!

She looked back at her husband.

If a husband is even slightly physically fit and not quite so refined, he'd be the perfect husband.

As Leaf Village's top goji berry expert, Namikaze Minato could tell what Uzumaki Kushina was thinking just by looking into her eyes.

But his more than ten years of experience Hokage were not for nothing.

"Kushina, let's go," Namikaze Minato said. "With this senior here, you don't need to worry about Wood Release. We'll go help everyone repel the Cloud Village."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded, and then the couple headed north.

At this moment, Senju Muzoku had already spotted the two figures in the distance using the tracking technique.

One person wore red armor, the other blue armor.

Sure enough, they were all summoned by spirits!

There's one more person at the very back; that should be the one who cast the spell.

But it wasn't Orochimaru; it was a Cloud Village from the Hidden Cloud Village.
