" Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique!"
From the back mountain of Konoha, a low shout came, and the ground beneath Uya's feet collapsed with a roar, revealing terrifying cracks that spread densely in all directions.
The ground here had been repeatedly trampled by Uya, deliberately increasing its density to an almost extreme degree, but it still couldn't withstand the super- Added-Weight Rock Technique.
That's right, in the past month, Uya has mastered an upgraded version of the Added-Weight Rock Technique!
It was precisely because Uya's soul had become stronger and his control over Chakra had increased that his talent in Ninjutsu had also become stronger. Even though earth-style was not an attribute that Uya was born with, he now controlled it exceptionally perfectly.
With the Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique, even if Uya cannot develop Sage Mode training method for the time being, his physical enhancement will not stagnate.
Uya estimated that in order to fully withstand the ultimate super- Added-Weight Rock Technique, his physical strength would need to be increased by at least 100%!
At that time, even if one did not reach the physical requirements of the Sixth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation, one would probably be close.
"Huff... huff..."
The Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique is far superior to the ordinary Added-Weight Rock Technique. Even though Uya deliberately reduced his Chakra output to weaken its power, he still trembled violently all over.
Under the current Super Added-Weight Rock Technique, Uya is barely able to stand, as Uya needs to maintain the Super Added-Weight Rock Technique Ninjutsu at the same time.
While honing his body with super- Added-Weight Rock Technique, studying Senjutsu, and enjoying a joyful daily life with Kushina, Uya thought things would continue like this. However, half a month later, he suddenly received unexpected information.
In the underground black market, the assassin ninja ' Bloody Hand ' wielding the Totsuka Blade has reappeared!
Since the Second Shinobi World War, Uya has been searching for the final Totsuka Blade, but in the vast Shinobi World, finding someone is just too difficult.
Despite having access to Konoha Anbu intelligence network and the underground black market to gather information at any time, Uya has been unable to find any trace of the Bloody Hand who wields the Totsuka Blade.
But this time, Bloody Hand suddenly appeared.
This was so unexpected, it was astonishing.
Uya didn't get the information from the underground black market this time, but from within Konoha. The reason was that this Bloody Hand was actually trying to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!
And incredibly, he actually succeeded!
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is almost always protected Jonin a team of Konoha from Konoha, and under normal circumstances, no one tries to assassinate him, even though he is just an ordinary person.
For example, if the Land of Lightning dares to send ninjas to assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Fire, then the Land of Fire can also send ninjas to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
Even if they can't be killed, these are just ordinary people whose names will surely tremble with fear.
Therefore, it is common practice for daimyo to assassinate each other. Even if the Shinobi World War breaks out, it is only ninjas who fight, and the daimyo are not dragged onto the battlefield.
This Bloody Hand assassinated the Land of Fire Daimyo and then killed three Jonin Konoha, but the last Jonin left a secret mark on his body.
This mark allows us to track him down.
Therefore, Konoha, which was in turmoil due to the assassination of the Land of Fire Daimyo, immediately dispatched Anbu Ninja to hunt down Bloody Hand.
Uya sensed something amiss using her Shockwave Sensing when the Konoha Anbu Ninja were mobilized, and then went directly to the Konoha Anbu.
Although Uya currently lacks real power, no one would stop him from accessing Uya if he wanted to, not even Uya Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Assassinated the daimyo of the Land of Fire? That's interesting. Was the bounty placed by the Land of Wind or the Land of Lightning?"
Uya stroked his chin as he walked out of the Konoha Anbu, muttering something to himself.
Assassinating a daimyo isn't too difficult, but afterwards you'll face the furious pursuit of that country's ninja village!
The Shinobi World is indeed vast, but if you truly anger a major ninja village and make it determined to search the entire Shinobi World for someone, it's still quite possible to find them.
Especially now that it's a period of peace, Konoha Ninja can enter other countries' territories to hunt down their enemies after receiving reports.
After obtaining information about Bloody Hand's location, Uya left Konoha alone, heading in the direction pursued by Konoha Anbu.
Whether the Daimyo of the Land of Fire lives or dies is none of Uya's Uya, and he doesn't care. However, the Totsuka Blade that Bloody Hand is something Uya is determined to obtain.
After such a long search, Uya has pretty much confirmed that there are only three Kusanagi Sword: Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, Ame-no-Habaki Sword, and Heavenly Totsuka Blade.
The Ame-no-Murakumo Sword and the Ame-no-Habaki Sword in Uya's hands seemed to sense each other, indicating that obtaining all three swords would likely cause some special changes.
It seems the Totsuka Blade was lost a long time ago; Sunagakure only managed to steal two Kusanagi Sword from the Kusanagi Clan.
The Kusanagi Clan seems to have been searching for the lost Totsuka Blade all along. Of course, the Kusanagi Clan has now been wiped out, leaving only Uya. The specific reasons for this are buried in history and can no longer be found.
After tracking them all the way, to Uya's surprise, after circling around the Land of Fire, they actually came full circle!
The most dangerous place is the safest place. This must have been the idea behind the ace assassin ninja, Bloody Hand. Unfortunately, he assassinated the daimyo, enraging both the Land of Fire and the Konoha High Command.
A near-door search was conducted throughout the Land of Fire, and although he eventually hid back in the palace where the daimyo of the Land of Fire resided, he was eventually found.
However, the result after it was found was surprising.
The Konoha Anbu Ninja specifically tasked with hunting down Bloody Hand consist of two special teams, each composed of Jonin, totaling eight Jonin!
It doesn't sound like much, as if Uya could slaughter them all as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, but this is almost war-level power.
These two Konoha Anbu squads, with four members killed by Bloody Hand, escaped once again!
Although the intelligence that came this time indicated that Bloody Hand was also injured, the battle situation was still incredibly astonishing. The Konoha High Command was shocked and prepared to have Hatake Sakumo personally take action.
However, at that moment, Uya's words were relayed back to Konoha by a few defeated Anbu Ninja.
"Leave it to me."
With just that simple sentence, Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo, stopped his attack, and the Konoha High Command quickly withdrew the ninja squad they were preparing to send out.
Even if Hatake Sakumo were to go, there would be other ninjas to assist him, but Uya... doesn't need any of that!
Konoha had no intention of sending ninjas to assist Uya, because they knew that such assistance would be a burden to Uya.
