Raging at the Raikage and Flipping the Table! Life Marks Blow Apart Every Disguise
Inside the camp.
The Hidden Cloud Chunin's forehead veins bulged, his Kunai pressed tightly against the Hidden Leaf medical-nin's neck. "Speak! Why did you take an extra roll of bandage? Are you White Zetsu?!"
The Konoha Ninja's eyes turned bloodshot as he drew his Ninja Blade: "You're talking nonsense! You went to the toilet ten minutes ago, who knows if it was you who came out!"
"Click--"
The sound of swords being drawn filled the air as hundreds of people pointed their weapons at each other, their eyes bloodshot. Trust, that thing, shatters faster than glass. Sakura clenched her fists, wanting to rush in and break up the fight, but found herself completely helpless.
"Shadow Imitation Technique, freeze them all!"
A lazy yet extremely impatient voice rang out. Dozens of dark figures darted out like lightning, skimming the ground and precisely climbing up the group's heels. The ninjas, who were fighting desperately just a moment ago, were instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
Shikamaru emerged from the shadows of the tent, his hands Hand Seals. His eyelids drooped, and his eyes were filled with exhaustion. "Can't you use your brains a little? The enemy hasn't even drawn their swords yet, and you've already started attacking. Do you think the compensation money is too slow?"
"Let me go! That guy is definitely fake!" The Hidden Cloud Chunin desperately, spitting everywhere.
"Whether it's fake or real, you don't need to use your toes to figure it out." Shikamaru released the hand seals and snapped his fingers at the same time.
Two figures landed in the arena.
Ino pressed her hands to her temples, pale purple Chakra dancing at her fingertips. "Mental communication channel activated. Initiating verification of basic codes and memories of relatives within the Third Hokage."
Hinata's eyes bulged with veins, her pure white pupils scanning the entire area. "Byakugan, activate!"
These three moves did indeed expose several imposters who were sweating bullets. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Hinata frowned and raised her hand to stop a Hidden Sand who had just passed the memory test.
"Wait a minute." A hint of doubt flashed in Hinata's eyes. "The way your meridians are structured... is not right."
The Hidden Sand's expression changed drastically, and his right arm suddenly transformed into a wooden spike, aiming for Hinata's face.
Bang! Hinata didn't dodge at all, and with a backhand Empty Wall Palm, she blasted the wooden spike along with half of his body into pieces. Green slime splattered all over the ground.
"This is a huge problem." Shikamaru gritted his teeth as he looked at the wreckage on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked in a low voice.
"These lousy guys can perfectly replicate the target's Chakra wavelength, and even absorb some of their memories," Shikamaru quickly analyzed. "This guy even fooled Ino's test just now. Hinata's Byakugan can see through the inconsistencies, but it's very difficult. With 100,000 Allied Shinobi Allied Shinobi Forces, she wouldn't even be able to see half of them by the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War."
A sense of despair once again spread through the camp.
Even the Sensing Force and the Byakugan can't clear all the mines, so how can we fight this battle? Your comrades might stab you in the back at any moment.
Just then, a piercing sonic boom came from mid-air.
Golden light tore through the sky, and the violent Yang Release Chakra crashed into the center of the camp like a mountain, causing the surrounding tents to shake violently.
Naruto, clad in a golden Hokage Haori, stood atop the severed head of a White Zetsu, his eyes as cold as ice. "Panic already?"
"Naruto!" Hinata's tense shoulders instantly relaxed.
"I've heard about the situation." Naruto scanned the room, then pulled out a stack of palm-sized black scrolls. "Since seeing isn't fast enough, let's use some brute force."
He formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand, and the scroll exploded with a "bang," transforming into countless pieces of paper the size of Explosive Tag covered with red runes, which floated in mid-air.
"This is the Uzumaki Clan's improved 'Life Mark'," Naruto said, pointing to the piece of paper. "No Chakra needed, no memory search required. Just stick it to your heart, and it will directly bind to your core life essence. Those rotten White Zetsu can absorb your Chakra, but they can't absorb the life you were born with!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the communication Water Mirror in the corner of the camp suddenly lit up, emitting the Raikage's furious roar:
"Naruto Uzumaki! Stop trying to twist my words!"
In the Water Mirror, the Fourth Raikage slammed his fist on the table, spittle practically flying off the screen. "You're putting your Hidden Leaf's seal on every single one of the 100,000 Allied Shinobi Forces? Is this mine clearance, or are you trying to put dog leashes around everyone's necks? You're using this opportunity to gather intelligence on other villages, so you think you'll be the one ruling the Shinobi World from now on? I absolutely refuse to agree!"
Upon hearing the Raikage's words, the ninja from another village who had initially intended to take the mark withdrew his hand. His concerns were all too real.
"Old man, is your brain filled with nothing but muscles?"
Naruto didn't tolerate him at all. He strode up to the Water Mirror and sneered.
"You want rules, huh? Fine, I'll set the rules for you."
Naruto suddenly brought his right hand together, his fingertips gleaming with a blinding golden light, and slashed it hard across his left palm.
Instead of spurting blood, an extremely golden Yang Release essence surged forth. He flicked his finger, and the golden light "whooshed" through the barrier, landing precisely in the hand of a Hidden Cloud Sealing Squad captain present at the scene.
"This mark isn't encrypted." Naruto stared at the Raikage in the Water Mirror, his tone extremely domineering. "Check me first. If you can't find out what my underwear is, nobody's leaving this camp today!"
The Hidden Cloud captain, clutching the ball of golden light, was drenched in sweat. He quickly activated his detection technique. A few seconds later, he swallowed hard and stammered into the Water Mirror, "Lord Raikage... this mark... it really only shows pure life force fluctuations, without any backdoor for mind control or intelligence gathering..."
The Raikage on the other side of the screen was speechless, his face turning ashen, unable to utter a single word.
"Hidden Leaf dares to reveal their trump card, do you dare to accept it?" Naruto slapped away Water Mirror's communicator, his gaze sweeping across the entire area like a knife. "Those who are afraid to die, take off your Forehead Protector now and go home to hug your kids. Those who want to live and fight, shove this thing into your chest!"
Without further ado, Naruto raised his hand and waved it, causing countless talismans to rain down from the sky.
The Hidden Leaf ninja didn't hesitate at all, grabbing a card and slapping it against their chests. The Hidden Sand and Hidden Mist ninja exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and did the same.
"Ah--!"
A few seconds later, seven or eight shrill screams suddenly erupted from the crowd.
Those White Zetsu mixed in with the crowd, once possessed by the "Life Mark," had their false life force encountering Pure Yang Release, like hot oil dripping into water. Their disguised skin instantly burned and peeled off like paper, revealing their pale and deformed true forms, writhing in agony on the ground.
"Kill!" Without Naruto's order, the ninjas who had been suppressed for half a day rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, chopping the White Zetsu into mincemeat.
The game of Werewolf was overturned by Naruto in the most violent and unreasonable way.
The panic in the camp was completely swept away, replaced by a boiling fighting spirit. Shikamaru watched Naruto's back and clicked his tongue inwardly: This guy is becoming more and more like the First's unreasonable and intimidating presence.
The investigation was quickly rolled out across the entire military.
Just as Naruto was preparing to use the Flying Thunder God to rush to the next position, the sensory bracer on his wrist suddenly emitted a loud buzzing sound.
Karin, who was not far away, suddenly clutched her chest, her face turned pale, and she knelt down on the ground, her back instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"What's wrong?" Naruto quickly helped her up.
"The network... the Mark Network is connected..." Karin's teeth chattered as she gripped Naruto's arm tightly, pointing northwest. "In the resonance of the mark feedback... underground in that direction... there's a terrifying chunk of flesh ten times larger than Tailed Beast, devouring our life force! It... is alive!"
Naruto's pupils suddenly contracted.
That location is the hiding place of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!
Obito, is it finally time for you to open that eye?
