The shock wave caused the broken soil on the roof to fall down. Takuma instantly pulled out Ninja Blade, protected his two companions behind him, stretched his body like a fully drawn bow, and shouted in the direction of the explosion, "Who is there?!"

Rinto didn't move. He turned sideways and swept all the drawings and notebooks on the board into his backpack. He zipped it tightly before raising his eyes and looking into the depths of the rainforest.

Several waves of Chakra are rushing this way, including Kakuzu, the cold Chakra with Earth Grudge Fear's rotten smell, and Root's unique, Sealing Jutsu cold Chakra, there were almost twenty people in total, divided into two groups, fighting each other while rushing, the explosions came one after another, getting closer and closer to the inn.

"Mr. Rinto, go back quickly!" Takuma was so anxious that his voice trembled. He took a step forward to block Rinto, "We, let's hold them back first, and you hurry up and leave through the back door! We'll stop them!"

"No need." Rinto raised his hand and pulled him aside, his brows furrowed tightly. It wasn't fear, it was annoyance. He had just smoothed out Yin-Yang Release's fusion configuration, but before he could refine it, this group of people came to the door, making his head spin.

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard wall of the inn was blasted open by a Wind Release, and debris and rotten wood flew everywhere. The black Earth Grudge Fear tentacles rushed in first, carrying corrosive venom, and went straight to where Rinto was standing. When the door came to the house, Kakuzu's figure rushed out from the smoke, his scarlet eyes stared at Rinto, his tone was full of cruelty. "Uchiha Rinto! I let you run away last time, this time I will see where you hide!"

Behind him were four Akatsuki rebellious ninjas, who spread out in a fan shape as soon as they landed, with the Ninjutsu in their hands ready to go.

Almost at the same time, the roof of the inn was also broken open, and five ninjas fell from the sky. The Kunai in their hands carried the sealing spell. Instead of hitting Rinto first, they aimed at Kakuzu first. The people threw them away, and the leading ninja shouted coldly, "Kakuzu! Lord Danzo wants people, it's not your Akatsuki's turn to intervene!"

"Heh, what is Danzo?" Kakuzu sneered, Earth Grudge Fear flicked his tentacles, and blocked Kunai. At the same time, he separated two tentacles, and while drawing them towards Gen's ninja, he still went straight to Rinto, "I will decide his fate and skills!"

The scene instantly turned into chaos.

Akatsuki's rebellious ninja and Gen's ninja fought together first. Ninjutsu The roar of the collision made people's ears hurt. Fire Release burned the dead trees in the yard. Water Release poured water vapor into the sky, and the miasma in the rain forest was exploded. The shock wave was scattered everywhere, and the tentacles of Kunai, Explosive Tag, and Earth Grudge Fear were flying around. It was impossible to tell who was the enemy and who was the friendly force. There was only one common target - Rinto.

Takuma and his two companions gritted their teeth and drew their swords to face them, but they were just ordinary Chunin. They were faced with S-level traitorous ninjas and elites from the Gen. They were at a disadvantage as soon as they fought. They were knocked out within two moves and fell into the muddy water, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't get in the way." Rinto said, not sarcastically, but truthfully. If they stayed here, not only would they not be able to help, they would also distract him from protecting him, which would delay things even more.

He did not hide or Hand Seals, but stood at the door of the house, watching two Earth Grudge Fear tentacles rush in front of him, and two more sprang out from the ground, blocking all the directions he could dodge. Kakuzu had suffered from him before, and he learned his lesson this time, and the tentacles were wrapped with a layer of sealing spells to prevent him from dismantling the Chakra structure.

"Let's see how you can take it apart this time!" Kakuzu roared with determination and determination to win.

Rinto's fingertips moved slightly, and the pale golden Chakra condensed into a pinpoint-sized point on the fingertips. It was not a large-scale barrier, not a disassembly, but a precise puncture.

Two Chakra Threads, which were so thin that they were almost invisible, penetrated through the gaps in the tentacles and accurately hit the core node of the sealing spell. Just like tearing off the most critical rope of a fishing net, the originally tight seal instantly disintegrated.

Then, he gently twisted it with his fingertips.

The tentacles of Earth Grudge Fear that rushed over froze in mid-air for an instant. The living cells inside were necrotic at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tentacles that were originally strutting their teeth and claws softened into rags, fell into the muddy water, and were quickly corroded until only a layer of skin remained.

Kakuzu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart suddenly shrank - he clearly added a seal, how could it still be broken?!

"Impossible! How did you..."

"Your seal has too many loopholes." Rinto's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a simple experimental error. He ignored Kakuzu's shock, glanced at the melee crowd, and frowned even more. It was so noisy, and the explosions were going on, that it made his brain hurt, and he almost forgot all the details of the configuration optimization he had just thought about.

What he wanted was not to win, but to get rid of all these flies at once so that they would not bother him endlessly in the future.

At this moment, three ninjas bypassed Akatsuki's men and rushed over in a triangle formation. They held Hand Seals in their hands and shouted in unison, "Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal·Lock!"

Three black seal lines spread out from their palms, forming a large net in the air, and hooded Rinto. This was the Sealing Jutsu specially prepared by Danzo to restrain him. can lock the flow of Chakra within the range. No matter how it changes the Chakra structure, as long as Chakra is locked, nothing can be done.

Upon seeing this, Kakuzu also immediately stopped controlling Earth Grudge Fear and asked four of his subordinates to release Ninjutsu at the same time. Ninjutsu with the four attributes of fire, wind, thunder, and earth came at them at the same time, and the seal net attacked from the front and back, blocking all Rinto's escape routes.

Takuma struggled to get up in the mud and shouted, "Mr. Rinto be careful!"

Rinto did not hide, but took a step forward.

He did not release Ninjutsu, but simply spread the newly perfected Yin-Yang Release fusion configuration inside his body. The pale golden halo slowly spread over ten meters with him as the center.

It's not defense, it's not attack, it's rule rewriting.

The first thing that crashed into the halo was the sealing net. The black spell that could originally lock Chakra, the moment it hit the halo, it was like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, melting silently. The Chakra nodes that formed the seal were blocked by Yang Release's life energy was dispersed, and Yin Release's rule framework was directly reconstructed. The sealing net that could trap Jonin didn't even last for half a second before it scattered into tiny Chakra light spots all over the sky, and was sucked clean by the surrounding vegetation.

Immediately afterwards, there was Ninjutsu with four superimposed attributes. The moment the violent fire, wind, thunder, and earth crashed into the halo, it was like pressing the pause button. The violent Chakra was instantly dismantled. The killing move that could have destroyed half of the station was scattered into harmless hot wind and earth debris, and Rinto's clothes Kakuzu were not even touched.

The whole courtyard fell silent instantly.

The people who were fighting all stopped and looked blankly at Rinto standing at the door of the house, forgetting to tie the seals in their hands.

Whether it was the original Sealing Jutsu, the Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear, or even the Ninjutsu they casually placed, they all became a joke in that light golden halo.

"What the hell is this?!" A ninja shouted out loud, his hand holding Kunai shaking.

Kakuzu's face turned completely pale. He has lived for nearly a hundred years, fought against Second Hokage, and faced First Hokage. He has never seen this kind of ability - it is not Kekkei Genkai, it is not a forbidden technique, it is the absolute control of Chakra and the energy rules.

Rinto didn't give them time to react. He was fed up and just wanted to finish it quickly and go back to polish his configuration.

A flick of the fingertips.

More than a dozen hair-thin Chakra Threadss rushed out silently. They were not rushing to kill people, but accurately penetrated into the meridians of everyone present. Whether it was Akatsuki's rebellious ninja, Gen's ninja, or even the Takuma three who had just been beaten away, they all felt a gentle but irresistible force rushing in along the meridians.

The next second, everyone froze.

They found that the Chakra in their bodies was completely messed up. The Hand Seals that they knew so well could not be condensed into Chakra; even if they were forced out, Chakra would bump into the meridians, causing numbness all over the body and making them unable to stand still.

There were only three people, Takuma. Chakra was just stabilized without any damage. Even the injuries he suffered just now were healed a lot by the energy of Yang Release.

"Get lost."

Rinto's voice was very light, but it carried an unmistakable coldness. "If you follow me again or make noises with me again, it won't be as simple as locking Chakra next time."

Kakuzu gritted his teeth and stared at him, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, but he did not dare to take another half step forward. He could feel that the Earth Grudge Fear structure in his body had been manipulated by the other party again. As long as he dared to move Chakra again, those hearts that had been fused for decades would instantly disintegrate.

He knew very well that he was completely defeated today. Let alone grabbing Rinto's technology, whether he could get out of this rainforest alive all depended on the other party's mood.

"Let's go!" Kakuzu gritted his teeth, shouted, turned around and rushed into the rain forest, not even caring about the men he brought with him. Seeing this, the few traitorous Akatsuki ninjas also turned around and ran away in a panic, crawling on the ground and disappearing into the trees.

The remaining ninjas' faces were as white as paper. They were sent by Danzo to arrest people, and now they were destroyed without even touching their clothes Kakuzu Chakra, Let alone arresting people, it was hard to say whether they could escape the beasts in the rainforest. The leader of the ninja gritted his teeth and glared at Rinto, but did not dare to say a single harsh word. He turned around and ran away with his men, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In less than three minutes, the two menacing groups of people ran away.

All that was left in the yard were the blasted-out walls, half-burned dead trees, and mud, water and gravel all over the ground.

Takuma helped his two companions stand up and walked to Rinto. His face was full of awe and fear, and he bowed deeply to him. "Thank you, thank you! Mr. Rinto, if it weren't for you, we would be today..."

"It's okay." Rinto waved his hand, turned around and walked into the house. He immediately opened his backpack and made sure that the drawings and information inside were not splashed with mud and water, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Takuma followed behind, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "Mr. Rinto, we can't stay here any longer. If they run away, they will definitely call for help. Neither Danzo nor Akatsuki will give up. You'd better come back to the village with us. There is a village defense formation in the village. Even if they come, they can't get in."

Rinto just picked up the charcoal pen and was about to write down the optimization points of the configuration that suddenly came to mind during the fight. He paused after hearing this.

He frowned and thought for a while. He really couldn't stay at the inn. This time it was Kakuzu and Gen's people. There might be more troublesome people coming next time. He would be disturbed every three days, so he couldn't do research at ease. Returning to Takigakure? It would be a quiet place, but he didn't want to owe any favors, nor did he want to be disturbed by people from the village.

Just when he was hesitating, the communication talisman in Takuma's arms suddenly lit up, and the rapid buzzer sounded particularly harsh in the quiet hut.

Takuma hurriedly took out the communication talisman, and pressed it on his fingertips to activate Chakra. Grand Elder Ishikawa's anxious voice immediately came from inside, a little panicked, and there were noisy shouts of death and explosions in the background, "Takuma! Where are you?! Take Mr. Rinto and leave! Don't go back to the village! There is a group of masked people, armed with Explosive Tag and forbidden magic, breaking through the village's defense line. The target is the secret in the ancestral hall!"

Takuma's face turned pale instantly, and the communication talisman in his hand almost fell to the ground. "Chief, elder? How is the village doing now?!"

"We can't stand it anymore!" Ishikawa's voice was breathy, "It's Akatsuki's people! Not only Kakuzu, but also one that can explode, and one that can suck Ninjutsu! They are not going for Rinto at all, they are coming for the secret!"

Rinto's hand holding the charcoal pencil also stopped.
