You Should Feel Honored

What kind of deep-seated hatred would drive someone to do this?

A ninja of the Five Kage level actually camped out and went to take on someone else's Chunin?

Flying Thunder God Chakra, does that mean you can be this reckless?

And they worked on it for almost ten years, eventually even destroying Cloud Lightning Gorge.

That's fucking ruthless!

And then there's the rumor that it was Leaf Village Uchiha Shingen who pulled off the trick of pushing Kumogakure to their limits to force them to pay reparations...

If someone like that became Hokage, it would be a disaster for his colleagues.

If it weren't for the fact that Uchiha Shingen had many friends, the entire industry would probably have risen up in rebellion.

But not everyone can afford to rise up in rebellion; Rain Village couldn't.

"Don't panic, Nagato was just there; he didn't fight Uchiha Shingen." After thinking for a long time, Konan could only manage to utter this sentence.

She suddenly felt it was absurd. Yahiko back then, Nagato later, both aimed to change the world. In short, they looked down on the existing rules of the Ninja World.

But now, she is eagerly anticipating Uchiha Shingen to follow the rules.

"You can't say that, Holy Maiden. What if the Fifth Hokage doesn't acknowledge it?"

Someone immediately offered their opinion.

"Yes, to be honest, we and Leaf Village have never really gotten along very well..."

It's more than just not getting along...

The crowd grew increasingly panicked.

Some even timidly suggested, "Holy Maiden, perhaps we shouldn't call the Fifth Hokage by his name directly, in case he uses it as an excuse..."

Konan looked at it and thought...

Isn't this the kind of deterrent power that Nagato has always wanted?

Furthermore, Nagato wasn't as petty as Uchiha Shingen!

Kakuzu and Sasori exchanged a glance, instantly communicating.

This village is ruined.

[No, it's long gone.]

Having witnessed the changes in the Ninja World, the two naturally knew that Amegakure was abolished when it entered the Hanzo era.

Its false prosperity was built on Nagato's strength.

When faced with greater strength, they will naturally be exposed as weaker.

The hall remained noisy and chaotic, a typical day for Rain Village – daily meetings with no results.

Kakuzu and Sasori exchanged a glance, and the two got up and left.

As they stepped out of the hall, the door closed behind them, and the noise immediately subsided.

"This woman can't control the situation," Scorpion said. "I think we'll have to run away soon."

"It doesn't matter." Kakuzu unmoved. He even wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the Earth Grudge Fear within him told him—No! You don't want to!

"Oh, by the way, you borrowed some money from me last time. Even if you're running away, at least settle the debt first."

"It's not your money I borrowed, and Amegakure isn't pressing you for it, so why are they?"

"If Nagato dies, that's my money."

Kakuzu bluntly stated his views on money.

He's a bit short on cash lately, and if Nagato doesn't come back, he wouldn't mind withdrawing his wages in advance.

For example, withdrawing a 100-year share in advance.

"Then how about this: when you withdraw the money, I'll help you; consider it offsetting the account."

"That's acceptable," Kakuzu thought for a moment and found it reasonable. "But you can't take a share of the money."

"I won't split it! You can have it all!"

After discussing financial advances and reconciliation issues, the two fell silent again.

Scorpion was even a little bewildered.

"Perhaps, as Uchiha Shingen has been saying in his recent letters, times have changed," he suddenly said.

Kakuzu glanced at his "junior".

He had experienced this kind of confusion before.

The "old chicken" who hasn't truly adapted psychologically reacts this way when it first feels the world has become unfamiliar.

Since the other party was willing to help him make money, he decided to try to comfort them.

"Times are constantly changing," Kakuzu said, "But I've always been here."

Scorpion's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"That sounds good. Tell me about how you got beaten up by the First Hokage back then. I'd like to hear it again..."

Kakuzu was furious and about to unleash his fury when suddenly, the tower began to shake violently.

Through the window, he saw a streak of red light pierce the rain and rush towards them.

Enemy attack!

Chapter 107 You should feel honored

The dark clouds in the sky Dotō and roared like raging waves.

Lightning flashed like a giant serpent, illuminating the great city below, where towering buildings stood.

"The Chakra here is indeed much more abundant."

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki smiled rather subtly.

His coming here with Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki was the right thing to do.

"Lord Momoshiki, why not eliminate all the places called ninja villages? The power of these creatures should be concentrated here."

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki casually unleashed Chakra attack while speaking.

"Kinshiki, you're an old hand at this; you should know how much pressure to apply."

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki laughed.

He knew that Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki was saying that on purpose, but he didn't mind.

That's called tacit understanding.

"The bugs have all come out."

The village was attacked by unknown forces, and the Rain Ninja rushed out of various tall towers, which looked like an anthill covered in smoke from the air.

However, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's attacks were a type of attack that the Rain Ninja had absolutely no idea how to deal with. Due to their novelty and the combination of strong winds and heavy rain, even though the Rain Ninja forces reached their respective defensive positions, they could only take hits.

The casualties weren't heavy, but they were completely on the defensive.

Coupled with their lingering fear of Leaf Village, many Rain Ninja mistook the indistinct enemy in the sky for Uchiha Shingen —frankly, the only ninjas who could mistake him for someone else right now are the Fifth Hokage and the Fourth Tsuchikage.

As a result, the will to resist was severely diminished on the spot, leaving them bewildered and helpless.

Seeing the Rain Ninja running around aimlessly in the rain, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki smiled contentedly.

These natives are so weak.

They probably only know how to bully their own kind using Chakra.

At this point, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki no longer had any concerns about the world.

According to his observations, the creatures in this world are social beings.

If there were sufficiently powerful creatures, they should have appeared long ago.

"That place has decent Chakra." Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki looked at the tallest tower in the city with great interest.

In Byakugan, there were two very conspicuous clusters of Chakra.

Like two torches standing out starkly from a swarm of sparks.

It's impossible for him not to notice.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki naturally saw it too, and without saying a word, immediately struck the other side a few times.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's main fighting style is to refine Chakra into various weapons, or to use Chakra to launch various special attacks, the latter also based on Chakra refining technology.

Chakra refinement is a basic skill widely used and learned by the Ōtsutsuki Clan. However, no matter how basic something is, if one can master it, it can become a skill that provides one with security.

That's how Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki is.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki chose Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki as his guardian precisely because he greatly admired this quality in him.

After all, he was also skilled in Chakra refining, except that he refined elixirs, while Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki refined tools; these were two different technical branches.

Chakra alchemy is a technique that only members of the main clan can learn. Although the levels are different, it does not prevent Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki from appreciating Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's depth in Chakra alchemy.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's Chakra attack was completely unaffected by the torrential rain, striking the tower in a perfect straight line.

The fiery red Chakra smoothly cut into the building's exterior wall, then spread along the insulation layer like tongues of fire, instantly turning the tower into a giant torch.

As the Chakra continued to act internally, its structure began to crumble and teetered on the brink of collapse.

But before it collapsed, two figures rushed out.

"These two creatures are quite something," Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki said to Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki smile. "They even managed to break free from your restraints."

"Yes, Momoshiki, this is the first time we've seen an individual like this since we came to this planet."

Looking at the two who had already landed below, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki also thought they were two good candidates.

His imposing body also began to slump downwards.

As he landed on the ground, Rain Ninja surged around him.

Judging from their appearances, it's immediately clear that Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki are not Leaf Village ninjas.

It couldn't possibly be the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Shingen.

The Rain Ninja's courage has returned.

"It's not time for you insects to struggle yet." Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki Chakra pulsating like flames on his five fingers.

Then Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki slapped the ground with his hand.

The sudden shockwave sent the surging Rain Ninja flying like pieces of paper, and then an even greater destructive force rose from the ground.

The neighborhood, once lined with towering buildings, was destroyed amidst cries of agony.

The ground rolled like a carpet, and in an instant, the surrounding buildings collapsed like building blocks. A terrifying gust of air spread in all directions, engulfing more people and objects.

The sky roared like a giant bellow, and the ground seemed to churn like ten thousand horses galloping.

Those who hid in the building, whether or not they were ninjas, were buried immediately.

It all lasted only a moment. The block was razed to the ground, and the dust that was kicked up was quickly suppressed by the rain before it could even swirl around. The rushing water began to turn red.

Rain Ninja's courage vanished again, and the survivors ran away in tears and cries, heading for even further away.

Only two people rushed out of the ruins and then turned and ran.

Theoretically, they are also Rain Ninja, but their running style is clearly different from other Rain Ninja.

"You can't leave." Although the eldest Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki from attacking, after all, his shoulders were broad enough.

With a wave of its two giant hands, more than a dozen Chakra weapons flew out, striking with remarkable precision the escape routes of Kakuzu and Sasori.

Facing the incoming red weapon, neither Kakuzu nor Sasori turned back; they continued running.

Scorpion flicked his finger, and from some unknown corner, a whole bunch of puppets suddenly appeared. Although they were obviously temporary, handmade consumables, their sheer number made them easy to spot.

The group of puppets swarmed towards the incoming red weapon.

Boom!

Amidst the explosions, there were flames and the glint of light belonging to Chakra weapons.
