If things went well, he might even be able to fuse with the God Tree in the end. Then Ziyun would be able to thrash Hashirama Senju.
As for the Snow-Snow Fruit, Ziyun remembered that it was the Devil Fruit ability of Monet, an officer under the Shichibukai Doflamingo. It was a Logia.
But Monet was too weak and was taken out with one slash by Zoro two years later, so there was no telling just how powerful the fruit was.
Ziyun had no intention of eating it either. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was several levels above the Snow-Snow Fruit in both power and coolness, so there was no need for him to eat it.
If he came across the even cooler Logia Glint-Glint Fruit in the future, though, Ziyun might consider it.
The Fusion Fruit, however, was definitely worth trying to obtain. With it, Ziyun could at least thrash the Uchiha Clan's Susanoo.
At this point in time, the Uchiha Clan had no outstanding talents, but Ziyun estimated that at least someone possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.
At the very least, the Uchiha Clan Head had definitely awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the clan head.
If he was going to make an enemy of the Uchiha Clan, the Fusion Fruit couldn't be more suitable.
As for the Mangekyo Sharingan Advancement Card, that was good too. It could advance a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan directly to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Ziyun asked the system whether he could possess the Sharingan. The system answered that of course he could, but the same old rule applied: he had to buy it with mission points.
Ziyun then checked how many points it would cost to buy a pair of Sharingan. Even the lowest-tier One-Tomoe cost 30,000, Futatsudomoe cost 50,000, and Mitsudomoe cost a whopping 100,000 points. He was a long way from any of them.
What was more, he had to buy One-Tomoe first, then Futatsudomoe, buying them one at a time. After all, Ziyun wasn't a member of the Uchiha Clan and couldn't awaken them himself.
Of course, Ziyun had asked the system about it: after buying them, even without Uchiha Clan blood, he would be able to switch freely between the Sharingan and his normal eyes. The system would modify them.
Still, if he had that many points, Ziyun would rather buy the Perfect Sage Body. After all, it would improve his current abilities the most.
If he had points to spare, Ziyun might consider buying a pair of Sharingan to play around with. After all, having transmigrated to the world of Naruto, it would be no fun not to try out that Kekkei Genkai.
"Just defeating three Elite Jonin gets me such generous rewards. Since when did you get so generous, system?" Ziyun teased.
That was right. Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were only at the Elite Jonin level right now.
Orochimaru might be able to reach Quasi-Kage Level with the aid of some powerful Ninjutsu and secret techniques, and Tsunade could reach it with her secret technique, the Yin Seal, but Jiraiya was currently only an Elite Jonin.
Although he would become the strongest of the Three Sannin in the future, he was indeed the weakest of the three right now.
"Nonsense! I've always been generous, okay?" The system sounded a little displeased, but its voice was pleasant, and to Ziyun, it sounded more like it was acting cute.
"All right, enough talking. I need to hurry up and finish this mission." Ziyun was looking forward to it.
Defeating the three and bestowing the title of Three Sannin on them was a pretty impressive feat in Naruto.
In the original story, the Three Sannin had been given their title by Hanzo of the Salamander. Hanzo might have only been Kage Level, but he was nicknamed Demigod.
The name Three Sannin would also bring Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya endless glory in the future.
Every ninja who encountered them would have to marvel that they truly deserved the name "Konoha Sannin."
Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were proud of the title themselves. It certainly seemed impressive.
But if Ziyun bestowed the title, it might be even more impressive than if Hanzo of the Salamander did it, and Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade's reputations in the Shinobi World would grow as a result, without anyone realizing it.
That would be doing Orochimaru and the others a favor, wouldn't it?
Ziyun then went to the tent at the center of the camp and found the Third Raikage.
"Uncle Raikage, we just won a major victory over Konoha, and their leadership is in conflict with the Senju Clan, so their morale is low. Now that the Hidden Sand Village and the Land of Rain have joined the fighting too, we should put some pressure on Konoha."
Ziyun came up with a reason on the spot.
"Oh? Ziyun, have you come up with another tactic?" The Third Raikage grew interested when he saw Ziyun.
"No tactic. I just think we can try facing Konoha head-on. I'd like to lead a squad to teach Konoha a lesson. Charging ahead with the force of a tiger is how the Hidden Cloud Village should fight."
Ziyun spoke with a smile.
"Oh? You've learned to do things my way too? Hahaha! Ziyun, you really are worthy of being the Raikage successor I chose. As shinobi of the Hidden Cloud, we should charge ahead with the force of a tiger. When we win, we keep fighting until our enemies are scared out of their wits and run at the sight of a Hidden Cloud Forehead Protector!"
The Third Raikage roared with laughter, finding Ziyun more pleasing to the eye by the moment.
The look in his eyes made Ziyun wonder if he was the Third Raikage's illegitimate son.
The Third Raikage then placed the eight hundred Hidden Cloud Village ninja under Dodai's command at Ziyun's disposal and told him to go all out.
"Ziyun, which Konoha force are you planning to attack this time?"
As soon as Dodai saw Ziyun, he handed command over to him.
Dodai was absolutely loyal to the Raikage. Since Ziyun had been selected as the Fourth Raikage, Dodai was naturally just as loyal to him.
"Teacher Dodai, we should pick the softest persimmon. Hatake Sakumo is a Kage Level powerhouse, so I'll leave him to Uncle Raikage. I'll go after Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the others."
Ziyun then led Dodai and eight hundred Hidden Cloud ninja in an attack on the Konoha camp.
"Lord Orochimaru, the sensor ninja up ahead have just reported the latest intelligence. The Hidden Cloud Village is launching an attack on our camp."
A ninja wearing a Konoha Forehead Protector and assigned to sensory duties reported to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru didn't answer. He was concentrating on developing ninja tools and clothing made from insulating materials.
Of course, these were specially made to deal with Yeyue Ziyun.
After all, his Lightning Transformation Technique was far too troublesome, and Sealing Jutsu, the one thing he feared, couldn't even touch Ziyun.
Fortunately, Orochimaru had discovered this weakness, so he planned to step up production and teach Yeyue Ziyun a lesson the next time they met.
After all, the brat had mocked Konoha last time.
"Who's leading these Hidden Cloud ninja? Is it the Third Raikage?" Jiraiya asked from the side, without disturbing Orochimaru.
He was very concerned about the answer because Hatake Sakumo had fought the Third Raikage last time.
According to Captain Sakumo's information, the Third Raikage was incredibly powerful. His destructive power and defenses were nothing like a human's.
Hatake Sakumo had said that fighting the Third Raikage was like fighting a Tailed Beast wearing human skin!
If the Third Raikage was leading them, Jiraiya thought it would be better to retreat.
"Reporting to Lord Jiraiya, they're being led by Yeyue Ziyun and Dodai, the Third Raikage's assistant. There's been no sign of the Third Raikage."
The Konoha sensor ninja reported truthfully.
"Oh? Yeyue Ziyun? I didn't expect to see him again so soon!"
A look of anticipation appeared on Jiraiya's face when he heard Ziyun's name.
During their last encounter, Ziyun had destroyed their supplies and mocked and insulted him to boot, but he had also exposed his weakness.
This time, he definitely wouldn't be as troublesome as before, and Jiraiya would make him pay.
He would repay Ziyun twofold for the humiliation he had suffered.
"Hey, Tsunade, why are you still so down? We're about to run into Yeyue Ziyun. Aren't you looking forward to teaching him a harsh lesson and getting revenge for last time?"
Jiraiya looked at the dispirited Tsunade and tried to curry favor with her.
Ever since the Senju Clan had fallen under suspicion and been sent back to Konoha, Tsunade had been listless, as if her soul had left her body.
"Oh, I know," Tsunade replied flatly, not wanting to talk to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya didn't dare say anything more. He was afraid that one more word would earn him a beating from Tsunade.
How did Jiraiya know that, you ask?
He had been beaten plenty over the past few days. It was experience bought with blood and tears.
At that moment, Orochimaru had time for a break as well. He turned and asked, "How long until Yeyue Ziyun and the others arrive?"
"An estimated one day."
"One day is enough. Go set some traps and slow them down."
Orochimaru flicked out his snakelike tongue and licked his lips. Over the past few days, he had rushed to develop more than a dozen sets of ninja clothing made from insulating materials, along with ninja tools.
He hadn't expected them to come in handy so soon.
He then distributed the tools and clothing. Orochimaru himself, Tsunade, and Jiraiya naturally each got a set first.
The remaining sets were given to the strongest Jonin present.
This time... he would make Yeyue Ziyun pay.
Meanwhile, Ziyun was leading eight hundred Hidden Cloud ninja forward. He could already sense the presence of the Konoha camp.
"Be careful. Konoha has set traps here."
Five hundred meters from the Konoha camp, Ziyun stopped and activated his Observation Haki.
Explosive Tags and ninja tool traps were buried everywhere. If they charged straight in, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
But Ziyun had a way to deal with them.
He charged straight into the traps, setting off all the Explosive Tags and ninja tool traps.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Thousands of Explosive Tags and hundreds of traps all exploded against Ziyun. Lightning flashed everywhere, and fragments of lightning flew constantly from his body. It was a terrifying sight.
"Lord Ziyun! Aren't there traps over there?"
"Why are you putting yourself through this...?"
Seeing this, the eight hundred Hidden Cloud ninja behind him cried out in concern.
"Don't worry, Ziyun will be fine. He's using his body to clear the traps set by the Konoha ninja for us."
Dodai told the Hidden Cloud ninja behind him not to make a fuss, lest they alert the Konoha ninja.
"Lord Ziyun is too good to us..."
"Boo-hoo, I'm so moved I could cry."
"Lord Ziyun is worthy of being the successor chosen by Lord Third Raikage."
Seeing this, the eight hundred Hidden Cloud ninja present were completely overwhelmed by Ziyun's actions.
