"Well... let's forget about it."
Mukai, are you sure you're a ninja who uses Ninjutsu?
When faced with Rasa's question, Mukai gave himself a thumbs-up:
"Is there still any doubt about that? I am indeed a master of Ninjutsu."
"But even ninjas who Ninjutsu need to learn some Nintaijutsu, right?"
Rasa scattered the Gold Dust, his lips twitched, and he had a million complaints to make, but he didn't know where to begin.
This is the first time in many years that someone has directly shattered Shukaku's arm during the Shukaku Trial.
Having already achieved this level of strength, there's no point in staying in the trial room any longer.
"There's no need to wait any longer. Mukai is in first place, let's go out!"
As Rasa announced the final results, Fusa Ruru and the other two, who were already celebrating, were now dumbfounded.
Is this even allowed?
Someone actually managed to Shukaku arm?
Fusa Ruru's nose seems to be hurting again.
"Alright, Mukai, Fusa Ruru, Sasa Tarō, the three of you, come with me into the sealed prison."
The final trial will be conducted in the presence of the Third Kazekage and all the elders.
Don't underestimate Shukaku's power just because you've passed the first two trials.
Don't embarrass yourself in front of all the elders.
While giving instructions, Rasa sent his Clone Technique to invite the Third Kazekage and the others in.
Of course, when he was giving his speech, he was looking at Mukai.
It seems that as long as this guy is around, something unexpected will always happen!
Even if this young man is quite strong, he's never really on the same page as the Third Kazekage!
Mukai shrugged; he wasn't arrogant at all!
"During the trial, you must strictly guard your consciousness and absolutely not let Shukaku overwhelm your soul!"
The longer you persist in your consciousness, the easier it will be to awaken the Magnet Release!
effort!"
The Third Kazekage encouraged Mukai and the other two.
Only then did he lead the team to break the seal on the prison and enter the most mysterious place in Sunagakure.
" Third Kazekage, and village elders, please come in."
So, the second round of trials is over?
Are these three teenagers the village's promising newcomers?
They're all so energetic, cough cough..."
The Third Kazekage glanced disdainfully at the elderly Bunpuku and said coldly:
"Just focus on your own task and hurry up, let's begin the final trial!"
Bunpuku, having retracted his arm, looked just like an ordinary old monk.
He clasped his hands together and murmured:
"Strive diligently without overstepping your bounds, neither delaying nor slacking off."
A monk is free from greed; all is illusion...
Let's begin, children. I will do my best to help you withstand Shukaku's mental onslaught.
Let's face Shukaku with love and understanding...
As the Third Kazekage and Elder Chiyo sat down on the chairs beside the wall, he signaled to Bunpuku to begin the trial.
Bunpuku, his body hunched over, slowly released part of his seal.
Soon, accompanied by a burst of arrogant laughter, the three people sitting next to Bunpuku were all pulled into Shukaku's consciousness.
The final trial begins.
The sound of wind and sand awakened Mukai in his consciousness.
Beneath my feet lay endless yellow sand, and the entire space seemed shrouded in darkness.
Heavy footsteps sounded, and a massive claw, as large as a house and covered in Shira runes, came into view:
"Hehehe, my toys have arrived again..."
You little guys, you must make sure you have a great time with Grandpa Shukaku!
Make sure you have a great time...
Konoha Root Core Secret Laboratory
This place used to be frequented by Orochimaru, but ever since he Danzo,
This area, including the barrier, has completely erased any trace of Orochimaru.
In rows of culture tanks, embryos are faintly visible, submerged in green liquid.
Even without Orochimaru, the research here will not stop.
Shimura Danzō on his cane where he concealed his Ninja Blade, stood before the culture tank, greedily gazing at the embryos.
"It's almost time."
Danzo's voice was dry and rough, like rubbing parchment, echoing in the dark space.
"According to the plan, the Shukaku Trial in Sunagakure should have already begun."
Hiruko, did those things you provided really work?
A figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
With white Red Eye, a thin figure, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and his high-necked coat was tied around his waist with three leather belts.
The person who arrived was none other than Hiruko, who had replaced Orochimaru and taken control of this laboratory.
His once gentle face is now replaced by a fervent thirst for knowledge and a pale complexion from years of being deprived of sunlight.
Hiruko his glasses, his gaze fixed intently on the embryos in the culture tank, and replied casually:
"Of course, it's impossible to succeed if we rely solely on those idiots from the Fusa Clan and Sasa Clan."
Hiruko's tone was full of sarcasm:
"Tsk tsk, assassinate the Third Kazekage, kill the One-Tail Jinchuriki, and let their family rise to power."
This plan is ambitious, but the quality of those responsible for its execution is truly worrying!
Lord Danzo, your eye for choosing allies isn't very good.
Danzo's lips twitched, revealing a chilling, cold smile:
Their original plan, of course, would not succeed.
All I need to do is add some factors that will help them succeed to their plan.
While they were secretly Fire Temple to buy the Evil-Sealing Alms Bowl, they had already fallen into my rhythm.
" The Fusa Clan has close ties with the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and has long been dissatisfied with the Third Kazekage. They have wanted to control Sunagakure for quite some time."
All I had to do was give them a gentle nudge.
Shimura Danzō tapped the ground lightly with his cane, producing a dull thud.
"The inside man was planted during the Chunin Ninja Exams; the key lies in those little gifts you provided, Hiruko."
I don't want you to be as unreliable as Orochimaru.
A sickly glow suddenly appeared on Hiruko's face.
He stepped forward and said in a strange tone:
"Unreliable like Orochimaru?"
No, absolutely not! I am the genius who surpasses Orochimaru!
The bone blades I made were coated with a potent anesthetic and a specially formulated poison targeting Kekkei Genkai!
Think about it, Lord Danzo!
When the Third Kazekage was stabbed by a bone blade that his Magnet Release couldn't control, by someone close to him...
The thought of cells collapsing under paralysis, desperately heading towards death, is exhilarating!
His prized Iron Sand are not wary of those around him!
By the time he wanted to retaliate, it was too Rotation, hahaha!
I'm the genius!
Danzo narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"I hope you're not exaggerating; your poison and special bone blade really do work."
Otherwise, you know the consequences.
Hiruko nodded indifferently.
"Rest assured, Lord Danzo, my creation is flawless."
Those bone blades are super-powerful bone blades from the Kaguya Clan, sharper than ordinary Ninja Blade and Kunai.
Just a tiny puncture, a tiny bit, and it would be absolutely fatal! Besides, didn't Lord Danzo have a backup plan?"
"I want the people of Sunagakure to carry out this assassination themselves, rather than having my people clean up the mess."
The Root absolutely must not be exposed, otherwise my profits will be reduced.
Danzo slowly turned around, facing the huge map of the Shinobi World on the wall.
His gaze fell upon the location of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, seemingly able to penetrate a thousand miles and see the turmoil there:
"Some of the Evil-Sealing Alms Bowl contain Kushina's aura, Shukaku will certainly not overlook."
The most perfect arrangement would be to eliminate all the Jinchūriki of Sunagakure.
Hiruko, intensify your research on Wood Release; don't let me down.
"Yes, Lord Danzo. You will find that I am a far superior collaborator than Orochimaru, the absolute best!"
Hiruko's eyes, reflected in the culture tank, were both fanatical and dangerous.
In the realm of consciousness, Shukaku's eyes appeared, his chubby face, made of sand, filled with a ferocious smugness:
"Grandpa Shukaku is here!"
My little toy...
This... this is impossible!
