"Boom!"
Great Earthquake
It seems that the four members of the Kyōai underestimated the power of the missile; the 30-meter-deep crater could not completely negate the missile's explosion.
As the exploding pillar of fire shot into the air, the ground cracked open again, and the four of them quickly retreated.
Choji quickly asked, " Kyōai- kun, what kind of Ninjutsu is this? How could it produce such a terrifying explosion?"
The pillar of fire slowly shrank, Kyōai finally breathed a sigh of relief, "This isn't Ninjutsu, it's a ninja tool, a technological ninja tool from the Nuclear Ninja Village, the Dongfeng Type 1 Chakra Missile."
The Lord God: "Making trouble? Whose trouble?"
Kankuro asked, "Is it based on the same principle as the Explosive Tag?"
Kyōai nodded and said, "Yes, more or less, except it can carry out long-range strikes. This missile was launched from the Land of Spring."
" The Land of Spring!" Kankuro in shock, then suddenly realized, "You mean, this missile can also reach the Sunagakure?"
If that's the case, the Sunagakure leadership will likely have to reassess the potential of the Nuclear Ninja Village.
Kyōai chuckled, "How could that be? We're allies, and the production of a missile takes a very long time and is very costly. This one is the only one that has been successfully produced since the founding of the Nuclear Ninja Village, and it still has significant flaws."
Kankuro: "(°ー°) I don't believe you for a second."
Choji hadn't thought that far ahead, "By the way, who were those three people who flew down with the missile?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than laughter from the three men echoed from the still-spreading crater.
"Gurgle! That feels so good! Cough cough cough, this smoke is a bit much!"
"Oh, that's great!"
Dongfeng Express, mission accomplished!
Kyōai clutched her head. "It's the Nuclear Shadow and two elders from our Nuclear Ninja Village."
From within the smoke and dust, a section of a blade emerged and was slowly swung twice. It was none other than Shirofukuji's greatsword, Murakumogiri. With these two swings, all the smoke and dust were blown into the sky.
The three elders stood back to back in the center, their clothes disheveled. The one in Shirofukuji had most of his beard blown off, and Ainz's skull mask was also shattered by the explosion, revealing... another skull mask.
Choji squinted at the three men in Shirofukuji, "Hey, those three... they seem a bit off. Their pants are practically blown off."
Kankuro said, "If you're telling me that those three were standing right in the middle of the explosion and were completely unharmed, who are you kidding? And what's with that guy wearing the skull mask?!"
Kyōai: "That's the Fifth Elder Ainz, the one who drew the map of the Land of Rivers' power distribution. He's in charge of intelligence gathering for the Nuclear Ninja Village."
Choji also asked, "Where are that bald guy and that old man with the big knife? They're almost two stories tall! Are there really people that tall?"
While Kyōai, Ai, and the others were talking, Sōretsu, Kendon, and Ujin ignored the still scorching heat and sat cross-legged on the ground, closed their eyes, and stretched out their hands to absorb Natural Energy. A ball of white substance slowly condensed in their hands.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
The three elders used Flying Thunder God to arrive beside Sōretsu. Shiro, Shirofukuji, stared wide-eyed. "Oh! Is this... the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu that the First Elder was talking about?"
Ainz: "So it was Masked Man. No wonder he's the strongest ninja, possessing both beauty and wisdom!"
Kikin: "That's right."
Hearing the three of them chattering, Sōretsu nearly lost his mask, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared, "Shut up!"
Looking at the three elders of the Nuclear Ninja Village drooling, Kyōai helplessly covered her head. "That tall guy with the big sword is the Second Elder, and also our Nuclear Shadow Lord."
Kankuro was incredulous. "What? He's the Nuclear Shadow? Good heavens! He looks handsome and imposing, but his voice sounds exactly like Hongshi's!"
Choji nodded in agreement. "I think so too! The more I look at it, the more it resembles it."
Kankuro looked around and saw that the crater created by the missile was now just scorched earth, and the heat was intense. There was no trace of the orcs. "Seriously, they were stupid enough that such a terrifying explosion didn't even hurt them. Even Gaara's absolute defense couldn't have done that at this distance."
The Lord God: "You've probably never heard of Iron Crotch Technique."
Gaara's Sand Release has unique defensive capabilities, but under the same conditions, it's impossible to achieve this level of effectiveness.
Actually, Chakra missiles may seem very powerful at first glance (and they really are), but many ninja villages have ways to defend against them. Gaara's Sand Release is a very good anti-air Ninjutsu, as Earth Release of the Iwagakure, the Chakra Cannon of the Hidden Cloud Village, and Kakashi of Kumogakure who can fight Konoha to a standstill. Although they are threatening, they are not as powerful as you might imagine.
Kyōai, "Don't worry, this technology will be given to you after the Nuclear Ninja Village is established."
Kankuro and Choji both couldn't believe it. "Really... really?"
Kyōai nodded and said, "Of course, due to the limitations of the materials, this is the strongest power of the Chakra missile. Moreover, Hades and Poseidon, one of the Seven Ninja Warlords Under the Shadow, once said that a common enemy of the entire Shinobi World is about to arrive, and we are also contributing to the Shinobi World."
The Lord God: "(°ー°) Hades... Poseidon... I think I know who it is."
Kankuro was somewhat puzzled. "A common enemy of the Shinobi World?"
Kyōai sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing to begin practicing the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu: "I don't know exactly what it is, but Hades- sensei is the smartest. If he says it exists, then it must exist. Sorry, I need to start training now."
Kankuro wanted to ask more questions, but Kyōai had already entered a meditative state, so the two of them didn't want to disturb her any further.
The emaciated Choji rubbed his stomach. " Kankuro, I'm so hungry, shall we find something to eat?"
"Oh, you must be Choji."
Just then, Kikin's voice suddenly came from behind them. "Why are you so skinny, like Monkey?"
Choji, upon learning the identity of Elder Kikin, was startled but seemed too weak to speak, "Well, I took two Meng Medicine Pill, and that's how I ended up like this."
" Meng Medicine Pill?" Kikin rubbed his chin. "Could it be another one of those weird pills that Kendon Kairyū researched? The effects are too strong. If I take two more, my heart and brain will be gone, and I'll die on the spot."
Choji nodded and said, "Yes, Kendon, that's what Mayonna told me too!"
Kankuro interrupted, "Wait a minute, I won't ask when you got here, but when did you meet Choji?"
Kikin coughed twice. "That's what Sōretsu said!"
Sōretsu: "I didn't!"
Kankuro continued, "I have one more question!"
Kikin picked his nose. "Hey, you're annoying."
Kankuro couldn't fathom Kikin's strength and didn't dare to be too presumptuous. "You three elders rode over on missiles, how come you're completely unharmed?"
Kikin took a deep breath. "Have you ever heard of Iron Crotch Technique?"
Kankuro and Choji: "???"
The Lord God: "I knew it!"
Kikin looked around. " Choji, our Elder has high hopes for you. Putting everything else aside, look how hungry you are. Wait for me, I'll go hunt some wild boars and roast them!"
"Gurgle..."
Choji's stomach completely agreed.
Kankuro wasn't very hungry at the moment, but in order to obtain more information, he replied, "Okay, I still have plenty of Chakra. I'll go with you."
