"Then, let's start with the One-Tail."
After saying that, Yuzuru set off again.
Our destination this time is Sunagakure!
Sitting on the back of the white-feathered falcon, Yuzuru continuously nurtured the branch of this God Tree with his Senjutsu Chakra.
What he wanted was not just any ordinary God Tree.
It was simply Chakra aggregate, a device that converted all energy into Chakra.
He wants to cultivate his own God Tree, using Natural Energy and Chakra as a foundation to grow a completely new God Tree.
The God Tree itself can devour the energy of all life, but Natural Energy can also create all things, just like a cycle of reincarnation.
Only such God Tree can be called God Tree, rather than a demonic tree that plunders all life.
" Yuzuru, we've reached the spot you mentioned."
The white-feathered falcon beneath him emitted a melodious cry.
"Okay, thanks."
"You're welcome. Do you need me to help you with some trouble?"
"These people don't need your help. We'll just stay here for a little while and wait for me. I'll be right back."
Okay, good luck!
After she finished speaking, she saw Yuzuru leap from her back into the Sunagakure.
What is that?
Many people in Sunagakure saw Yuzuru descend from the sky and became curious.
Without a word, Yuzuru conjured a giant ice golem wielding a greatsword and wearing heavy armor, which landed on its head.
"Hello, ninjas of Sunagakure."
Yuzuru sat atop the ice man's head, looking down at the crowd below.
"What a huge ice man! That's... that's Minazuki Yuzuru, the most wanted criminal in the Shinobi World and an S-rank missing-nin from Konoha!"
His signature Ice Release had already made Yuzuru famous.
Instantly, Sunagakure went on high alert, and he was surrounded by a group of ninjas.
" Minazuki Yuzuru, what brings you to Sunagakure?"
Rasa flew through the air using Magnet Release, looking straight at Yuzuru opposite him.
"Do you know what? I hate it when ninjas look me in the eye. As the lowest of professions, you only deserve to kneel on the ground and look up at me!"
After saying that, the Ice Man swung his sword down, the chilling icy blade slashing towards Rasa.
Rasa dared not be careless. He used Iron Sand to slow down the speed of the greatsword's descent while dodging to the side.
Although the outcome was good and he himself was unharmed, all the Iron Sand that had been near the greatsword was frozen and stuck to the surface of the greatsword, greatly increasing the destructive power of this icy greatsword.
Watching the ice sword slice through the streets of Sunagakure as easily as cutting tofu, the buildings crumbling beyond recognition, and the surrounding ninjas either hacked to death or suffering cell death from the cold, while those a little further away had already become ice sculptures, this scene sent chills down Rasa's spine.
The destructive power of this Ice Release is even more terrifying than Wood Release; it is pure destruction.
"What exactly do you want? We, the Sunagakure, have not provoked you, have we?"
The Ice Man slowly sheathed his sword, planted it in the ground, and placed his hands on the hilt, clasped together.
"Indeed not, but this is a reminder to you: ninjas are only fit to kneel on the ground and look up at me, even if you are a Kage."
"Don't think that we, the Sunagakure, are afraid of you. No matter what, we are one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and we can't be defeated by just one person."
Rasa stubbornly insisted.
"Heh, just a bunch of dogs kept by big shots."
Yuzuru snapped his fingers, and a fifty-meter-diameter ice ball appeared in the air, hurtling towards Sunagakure.
"Go play by yourself, I need to get something."
Upon seeing the ice ball, everyone in Sunagakure turned deathly pale.
They finally understood why Minazuki Yuzuru was able to snatch the Nine-Tails and the Fourth Hokage and his wife from Konoha, and why the rest of the people didn't dare to utter a sound.
This is simply beyond human capability.
Rasa tried his best to block it, but the Iron Sand only slightly slowed down the falling ice ball, because as soon as it touched the ice ball, it would lose his control and the Iron Sand would freeze on it.
His control over the Iron Sand was simply insufficient to support him lifting such a large ice puck.
"All ninjas, using Fire Style as the primary method and Wind Release as a secondary method, must use all their strength to melt this ice ball."
As a result, all the Sand Ninja, regardless of whether they were specialists in Fire Style or not, started using Fire Style; otherwise, they would really die here.
The wind fanned the flames, making the fire quite imposing for a time.
The ice hockey puck showed signs of melting, but remained firm.
Just then, a huge figure appeared on the field.
"Haha, I'm finally out! Damn Sunagakure, watch me... Wait, what's this?"
As soon as Shukaku appeared, it sensed something was wrong. It wasn't that it was getting dark, but rather that a huge ice ball was falling.
Without the slightest hesitation, it began to help.
There's no way to help. If Gaara dies, it will die too. Although Tailed Beast don't die completely, they will lose a lot during the three-year reconstruction, even their memories. That feeling is extremely painful.
"Damn Sunagakure."
Just then, it didn't notice that there was someone behind it.
"I've found you, Shukaku."
At the same time, the Ice Man, which had been waiting in ambush, finally reacted. It swung its sword again, cleaving Shukaku and the ice ball in two. As for the ninjas below who hadn't had time to escape, it was just a matter of casually finishing them off.
He deliberately avoided Gaara, but severely injured Shukaku, causing it to lose half of its Chakra.
But this scene terrified everyone else even more.
"That's simply beyond our capabilities."
Upon seeing half of Shukaku's body, Yuzuru immediately froze it and stuffed it into a sealing scroll.
"This hockey puck and the iceman are my gift to you. So, good luck!"
After obtaining what he wanted, an ice dragon appeared behind Yuzuru. He rode the ice dragon to the side of the white-feathered falcon waiting high in the sky and leaped onto its back.
" Yuzuru, your strength is getting stronger and stronger."
"Thanks to the Hakujun's training."
"Of course, Lord Hakujun is very powerful."
"What's our next goal? Where do we go?"
"This way, Iwagakure )."
After saying that, the white-feathered falcon flapped its wings and took flight, rapidly approaching Iwagakure.
Although the journey was long, she loved the feeling of soaring freely; they were the darlings of the sky!
"No need to rush, let's fly slowly and let the news spread faster."
"Well?"
"If we don't crush them with overwhelming force, they won't understand what true power is. The Shinobi World needs a sword hanging over their heads; the pressure will force them to seek solutions. When that happens, that's when the academy will emerge."
"I don't understand, but if you need any help, just call me. And, of course, there's plenty of grilled meat."
"Alright, alright, you little glutton. No wonder Hakujun said you have the best talent, but you're the most playful."
"Hehe, I'm only a little over a hundred years old, still a child."
Yuzuru:...
Two days later, after deliberately slowing down and taking the opportunity to hunt and roast meat for Shiraba Hayabusa, they finally arrived at Iwagakure.
At this time, Iwagakure was already on high alert.
The ice man descended from the sky, smashing the gate of Iwagakure) to pieces.
"Looks like you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, Ōnoki, and the two of you."
Yuzuru stood atop the ice man's head, quietly watching them.
" Minazuki Yuzuru, do you think we'll be the same as last time? Last time it was just a sneak attack from you. This time, I'll show you what the true Will of Stone is."
Ōnoki's expression was serious, and considering his height of about one meter, well, forgive Yuzuru for not being kind enough to laugh.
" The Will of Stone? Where is it? I only see a pack of wild dogs being self-righteous."
"You ninjas, you're all up to nothing but petty theft, exploiting ordinary people, acting as lackeys of daimyo and nobles, yet you have the audacity to spout nonsense about peace and will."
Ultimately, they were just a bunch of weapons that couldn't even be considered human. Once they lost their usefulness, they were like the samurai of the past, kicked aside like unwanted dogs, and eventually slowly extinct and died out.
"What did you say?! How dare you insult a ninja like that, Minazuki Yuzuru? You'll regret this!"
Ōnoki began Hand Seals. As someone who had mastered the Kekkei Tōta, he was indeed extraordinary. Although the charging time was long, the power was truly terrifying.
"Purple, let's go!"
"Oh!"
The two Jinchūriki simultaneously activated their Tailed Beast Mode and charged towards Yuzuru.
" Earth Release ·Earthquake Core!"
Below, the Iwagakure Ninja collectively used Earth Release, and instantly, the ground beneath Ice Man's feet began to collapse, sinking straight into the ground.
"That's enough, Minazuki Yuzuru!"
On both sides, Roshi and Han had already extended their tails to bind Yuzuru, and the enormous strength made it impossible for him to break free.
" Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
"Oh? Interesting. I must say, you guys are quite skilled at using Earth Release."
No sooner had he finished speaking than " Yuzuru " was struck by Dust Release, vanishing along with the Ice Man's head.
The ice man then melted rapidly, turning into a vast expanse of water at the bottom of the pit.
"No one can defeat us who possess the Will of Stone."
Ōnoki said confidently.
Below, all the ninjas cheered in unison, and even the spies from other ninja villages hidden among them were shocked.
They never expected that Minazuki Yuzuru would actually die in Iwagakure.
However, considering the destructive power of Dust Release, it's not so surprising, after all, it's the only Kekkei Tōta in the Shinobi World.
"Clap clap clap."
Suddenly, applause came from the sky, making Ōnoki was still feeling smug, freeze in shock.
"Oh dear, this is terrifying!"
At that moment, everyone saw that Minazuki Yuzuru was standing quietly on the back of a giant Hakujun, looking down at them.
" Minazuki, Yuzuru!"
Ōnoki's expression immediately darkened.
"Don't be so serious. Look, didn't you work hard to take down one of my Ice Clone? You're the first to do so so far, so you should be proud."
After saying that, Yuzuru snapped his fingers, and thirty-six ice mirrors appeared in the air, each containing a pair of scarlet eyes.
"You know what? I'll say it again: your Will of Stone, like Hashirama Senju's Will of Fire, is, in my opinion, pure bullshit."
"Roar!"
As Yuzuru's voice faded, ice dragons over twenty meters long simultaneously emerged from the thirty-six ice mirrors in the air.
At the same time, the ice figure that had just dissipated somehow reformed, and with the replenishment of Yuzuru's Chakra, its size increased to 100 meters.
At this moment, the giant dragon soared through the air, and the ice man stood like a war god.
