"As expected of the future Sannin. They sensed they were being watched through ninja instinct alone."
Ziyun looked at Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, who had yet to be named the Sannin in the real world, and muttered to himself.
With their current strength as Elite Jonin, it was impossible for them to know for certain that he was watching them from another dimension.
The only explanation was that their instincts as ninja had warned them.
After all, most powerful people reacted instinctively before danger struck. That response was a ninja instinct honed through countless life-or-death battles.
Unfortunately for them, that instinct was useless against Ziyun.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, the three of them could never know he was spying on them from another dimension.
After watching the three of them for an entire day, Ziyun finally discovered where Konoha had stockpiled its supplies.
"Konoha really is careless. They only assigned this handful of guards to supplies this important?"
Having found Konoha's supplies, Ziyun looked at the few guards, the strongest of whom was only a Jonin, and couldn't help commenting.
In truth, Konoha wasn't to blame. Its defenses weren't particularly weak. An entire squad was stationed here, including two Hyuga Clan members who constantly used their Byakugan to scan the surroundings. They had already been quite cautious.
But who could have guessed that Ziyun possessed an overpowered ability like the Door-Door Fruit?
"In that case, I'll teach you a lesson so you'll remember it."
Ziyun grinned mischievously, then quickly showed himself.
Crackle!!
Turning into lightning, Ziyun flashed past the ten ninja in less than a second.
"Shigan!"
Each time he flashed in front of a ninja, the silent Six Powers assassination technique, Shigan, claimed a Konoha Ninja's life.
In less than a second, the seven or eight Konoha Ninja were all dead, including the Jonin.
Jonin also had the instinct to sense danger, but Ziyun's lightning speed was too fast, and the Jonin had been completely off guard. He had never imagined someone would suddenly break in here.
"20 Million Volts: Thunder Bird!"
Facing the unguarded warehouses, Ziyun unleashed a Thunder Bird. The raging lightning instantly reduced the supplies in the several large warehouses to ash.
"This is bad! We're under attack! Our supplies have been hit! Hurry and inform Lord Orochimaru!"
The ninja closest to the supplies reacted quickly, shouting the alarm.
"They got here fast."
Ziyun, who had instantly used the Door-Door Fruit to enter the other dimension, saw Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya hurry over.
Although Ziyun could have simply left, the system hadn't indicated that the mission was complete. It would have been a shame to leave just like that.
Ziyun still wanted to get Advanced Armament Haki: Ryuo as soon as possible and start training in it.
So the moment the three appeared to put out the fire, Ziyun emerged from the other dimension and charged at Orochimaru first.
Orochimaru was the commander-in-chief of the main force, so it was best to take him out first.
"Thunder Dragon: 30 Million Volts!"
Lightning burst from Ziyun's body, transforming into a diving thunder dragon that flew toward Orochimaru.
With a bang, the thunder dragon struck Orochimaru. White smoke billowed, and Orochimaru turned into half a broken log.
"As expected of Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite disciple. You've fully inherited that old coward's talent."
Ziyun looked at the broken log and laughed mockingly.
"Yeyue Ziyun, you're the one who destroyed our supplies!"
Orochimaru appeared nearby and stared at Ziyun with intense hatred. Tsunade and Jiraiya also spotted Ziyun.
It was that troublesome fellow from Kumogakure again. This entire war had started because of him!
Now he had actually dared to come straight to Konoha's main camp. He really was a brave man who didn't fear death!
"Damn you, Yeyue Ziyun. You injured me so badly last time, and now you've come to destroy our supplies. You really don't take Konoha seriously at all."
Jiraiya looked at Ziyun as though his eyes were about to spit fire.
After all, Ziyun had given him a vicious Thousand Years of Death in front of all of Konoha's villagers and higher-ups.
His standing in Konoha had now plummeted, and it was all thanks to Ziyun.
"Does your chrysanthemum not hurt anymore? Looks like Konoha's Medical Ninjutsu really is impressive."
Ziyun laughed, his voice dripping with mockery.
"Hmph, pretty boy, even if you praise me, I won't be happy." Tsunade snorted and attacked Ziyun.
"Konoha's Sealing Jutsu is even more impressive!"
"Sealing Method: Five Elements Seal!"
At the same time, anger welled up in Jiraiya. He rapidly formed Hand Seals and used the Sealing Jutsu, Five Elements Seal.
Konoha's geniuses hadn't been idle these past few months. Every one of them had devoted themselves to practicing Sealing Jutsu so they would have a countermeasure if they encountered Ziyun.
"Five Elements Seal concentrates Chakra in all five fingers and uses the five Chakra natures of wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth to seal monsters. It's extremely difficult, an A-rank forbidden technique. How scary~!"
Seeing Jiraiya use Five Elements Seal, Ziyun laughed.
He now knew the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu inside and out, so he wasn't afraid in the slightest.
Even if he confronted it head-on, Ziyun had a way to break the Five Elements Seal. But after thinking it over, he decided it was better to kill Orochimaru first.
Turning into a flash of lightning, he instantly dodged Jiraiya's snail-like attack and arrived in front of Orochimaru, ready to send him to the afterlife with a Thunder Bird.
Bang!
Another cloud of white smoke dissipated, and Orochimaru's body once again turned into half a log.
"Substitution Technique again? You really are afraid of dying, Orochimaru."
Ziyun mocked him once more.
As expected of Orochimaru, who had survived through to Shippuden in the original story. Killing him really was difficult.
Ziyun had no doubt that Orochimaru was among the longest-lived people in Naruto.
"You really do joke. Who wouldn't fear an unnecessary death?"
The current Orochimaru had yet to witness Nawaki's death and had not made immortality one of his goals.
But that did nothing to stop Orochimaru from wanting to live.
Until an opportunity arose to kill Yeyue Ziyun in one strike, Orochimaru had no intention of approaching Ziyun in person. After all, his speed was comparable to lightning.
So the Orochimaru talking to Ziyun now was probably a substitute as well.
Seeing that Orochimaru was difficult to kill, Ziyun switched his targets to Tsunade and Jiraiya.
But those two weren't easy to kill either. After their last fight, Jiraiya had carefully read Ziyun's intelligence, so he was able to guard against him.
As for Tsunade, she was both a healer and a fighter. Even if she took one of Ziyun's attacks head-on, she could immediately heal herself. Her healing power was truly astonishing.
"You Konoha Jonin are all as strong as monsters, every last one of you. How scary~!"
"In that case, there's no need for me to waste any more time."
Seeing that he couldn't deal with the three of them anytime soon, Ziyun set his sights on the Konoha Ninja.
He had come to slow Konoha's advance, so there was no need to get too entangled with the three of them. Killing more Konoha Ninja was also a good choice.
Ziyun charged into the Konoha Ninja army at lightning speed, catching them off guard.
Like a god of death harvesting lives, Ziyun brought down a Konoha Ninja every time he struck.
Genin, Chunin, even Special Jōnin couldn't withstand a single blow from Ziyun. They were all killed instantly.
Only a handful of Jonin and Elite Jonin could dodge Ziyun's sudden attacks.
"Quick, all ninja below Jonin, get out of here! Don't bunch up!"
Orochimaru roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Ziyun had not only destroyed a large quantity of supplies but also killed so many Konoha Ninja. This battle was a complete failure.
Worst of all, they were powerless to stop him. Ziyun was naturally immune to most Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, and the only effective counter, Sealing Jutsu, couldn't reach him. It was enough to make them grind their teeth in hatred.
"I'll cover you. Retreat, quickly!"
Jiraiya took the initiative to attack Ziyun, striking at him with another Sealing Jutsu, only for Ziyun to pierce his abdomen with a Thunder Bird.
Unfortunately, this Jiraiya was a Shadow Clone, there to slow down Ziyun's slaughter of the Konoha Ninja.
It seemed Jiraiya's battle sense was pretty good too. He had learned Orochimaru's cowardly technique so quickly.
They couldn't really be blamed for playing it safe. Ziyun's abilities were just that troublesome.
Attacking him in person without being certain they could kill him was no different from courting death.
"Hurry and inform Captain Hatake Sakumo. Have him lead the Konoha Ninja skilled in Sealing Jutsu here as reinforcements."
With no good way to stop Ziyun, Jiraiya could only send someone to call for reinforcements.
"Hmph, as expected of Konoha, the greatest village in the Shinobi World. There are so many of you against just me, and you still need reinforcements? Your skin really is thicker than a city wall!"
"I've taught you a lesson this time. Remember to be more careful next time."
Hearing that, Ziyun snorted and vanished from where he stood, departing at lightning speed.
Most of the Konoha Ninja had already retreated, and the remaining Jonin, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others wouldn't be easy to deal with quickly.
Rather than stay here and waste his energy, he might as well go destroy the supplies of the force led by Hatake Sakumo.
More importantly, Ziyun didn't want to expose his Door-Door Fruit ability.
If that ability were exposed, Konoha would be on guard against it. So unless it was the most critical moment, Ziyun wouldn't reveal it outright.
