Chapter 152: See Yourself, See the World, See All Living Beings
Chapter 152: See Yourself, See the World, See All Living Beings
"Of course not."
The voice of the Fourth Raikage rolled.
He is not stupid. Now there are 10,000 Kumogakure ninjas lying here. If he goes to fight with Takanashi Mitsuha without any hesitation, the other party can completely ignore him and just kill these ninjas. Without these ninjas, Kumogakure will be nothing but meat on the chopping board.
However, he would not let Kotori Sanye go, even though he knew that it was reasonable for Kotori Sanye to kill his father. After all, it was his father who gave the order to capture or kill Kotori Sanye first.
But it doesn't matter, just like his father said, in the world of ninja, there is no reason, only strength.
"However, I am not sure. If Minato Namikaze in this state goes to Konoha and starts killing, how many people will die at his hands?"
"Whatever, you can try it."
Li Zhongren shrugged.
"I really want to try and see who is faster between him and me. Do you want to compete?"
"Hahaha, that's cruel enough. As expected of Konoha Shura."
The fourth generation Ai looked at Li Zhongren and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He didn't see any hesitation, but was eager to try. As expected, there was only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. Being cruel to others is nothing, but those who are cruel to themselves are the real scary. You know, with the current strength of Namikaze Minato, against those weaker ninjas, combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can basically kill them at the first sight.
In other words, if he gave the order for Minato Namikaze to kill Kushina Uzumaki, he would do so immediately.
But this did not make the Konoha Shura give in at all. He even had an idea that as long as he issued this order, the inheritance of Kumogakure might exist, but Kumogakure Village would definitely disappear from the ninja world.
"Let's duel, how about that?"
After a moment's silence, the Fourth Generation Ai spoke.
"You know why, and I know why. This is a private matter between you and me. It does not involve the two villages."
"can."
Li Zhongren nodded. He knew that the other party knew the truth. He killed the third generation of Ai, but he would not feel guilty about it because it was Yunyin who attacked him first.
"How about we decide who is better and who is worse, and who lives and who dies?"
"it is good."
The Fourth Generation Ai controlled the huge black lightning giant and jumped lightly away from the group of Kumogakure ninjas who were still lying on the ground. Li Zhongren did not do anything unnecessary, but followed the Fourth Generation Ai out of the first battlefield and came to a wide place.
"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"
Li Zhongren clapped his hands, and a thick wooden dragon woven from roots rose from the ground and rushed directly towards the Fourth Generation Ai. Then, the Fourth Generation Ai waved one arm, and black lightning crackled in the sky and collided with the wooden dragon's head.
The black lightning was swallowed and absorbed by the Wood Release.
However, the giant dragon that absorbed the black lightning also broke into pieces and turned into dust.
Finally, the lightning and the wooden dragon disappeared in the air.
"Lightning Release: Annihilation Web!!"
"Wood Release: Root Realm Arrives!!!"
A huge, all-encompassing black net woven with lightning fell from the sky. The mesh was so dense that there was almost no space for people to pass through. The net was so large that it was impossible to escape in a short time.
However, Li Zhongren did not intend to dodge. He stamped his feet fiercely, and the whole earth trembled. Dense roots swept up and intertwined with the black lightning net. The lightning net could not continue to descend, but the roots were also constantly being consumed.
Finally, the lightning net and the roots dissipated once again.
"call"
After taking a slow breath, the fourth-generation Ai controlled his huge body and took a few steps back. Yaoyao looked at Li Zhongren who was standing on a giant tree in the distance.
The battle between the two of them had lasted for more than half an hour, and the entire land looked as if it had been plowed by a giant.
However, neither side was injured.
In fact, for now, the battle between the two is as boring as his father's battle with the Eight-Tails last year. There is no skill at all. Wood Release absorbs black lightning, and black lightning annihilates Wood Release. It is purely a fight of whose chakra can't hold on first.
It is true that he has absorbed the chakra of 10,000 Kumogakure ninjas and is now comparable to the tailed beasts, but who is the opponent?
The other party is the fiancé of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and he has also developed a miraculous thing called chakra battery. To be honest, it is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior to consume chakra against him. No one knows how many chakra batteries he has, and no one knows how much chakra the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has poured into it.
After all, in this world, no one can compare to the Nine-Tails in terms of chakra reserves, because the records of their Kumogakure are that the Nine-Tails' chakra is infinite, truly infinite, or in other words, the speed at which it regenerates chakra is always greater than the speed at which it consumes it.
Therefore, if this continues, when I have used up all the black thunder, I will be the only one who loses in the end.
Of course, the reason why he knew this was that he still fought with Mitsuha Takanashi for half an hour.
There are also two things to do.
First, he had to make sure whether the opponent had the ability to fight sustainably. After all, before this, he was the kind of ninja who could win with just one move.
Facts have proved that you don't need to compete with a Wood Release Ninja in a protracted battle. After half an hour of fighting, the opponent summoned five or six wood dragons alone, and it seemed that he was still able to do it with ease.
The second is to set traps.
In the battles of ninjas, unless you have reached the level of the God of Ninja, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a fight for consumption and intelligence.
A war of attrition can tear the enemy apart head-on. For example, his black thunder is enough to destroy any enemy ninja troops on the front battlefield.
Intelligence is the characteristic of black thunder itself. Use this characteristic to catch the enemy off guard.
However, he was actually waiting for Mitsuha Kotori, for example, his Wood Release: Cyberpunk, which he knew was definitely as destructive as his Black Thunder, but unfortunately, she was not in a hurry at all.
Then he has to make the first move.
Anyway, considering the time, it's almost time.
"Snapped!"
Thinking of this, the Fourth Generation Ai controlled the two hands of the Lightning Giant and slammed them together, forming a huge Si Seal. This seal is the seal with the fastest chakra flow among the twelve seals, after all, the area of contact between the two hands is the largest.
"Lightning Release·Black Thunder·Silent Thunder Heaven Attraction!"
In an instant, a black mist rose from the ground where the two men had fought before, instantly covering an area of several kilometers in radius. Then, densely packed lightning, so numerous that it was impossible to describe in words, appeared out of thin air.
But at this moment, the sky is clearly clear and there is not even a cloud in it.
Moreover, the directions of these lightning bolts were not chaotic or disorderly, but all pointed towards the location where Li Zhongren was.
"boom!!!"
Thunder is lightning, and lightning is light!
Therefore, when these lights came on, the endless lightning had actually been directed at Li Zhongren and struck him.
Instantly, Li Zhongren and the tree under his feet were blown to ashes.
"finished?"
In the distance, on the tallest building in Kumogakure, Tutai and Mabroth were looking quietly into the distance.
In fact, logically, he wanted to stop this battle because it was meaningless. The Sandaime was already dead, and what the Fourth Hokage should do was to lead Kumogakure to move forward.
However, he also knew that the Ai family had such a temper. The fourth generation Ai did not kill Minato Namikaze on the spot, but used him to force Mitsuha Takanashi to duel with him, in order to establish a balance and avenge his father.
"Maybe."
Mabrot nodded. "I remember this move was to use black lightning to diffuse, then continuously absorb static electricity in the air. When it accumulates for a certain period of time, once it is released, it can produce a force greater than a natural thunderstorm. Moreover, the speed of this move is the speed of light. No one and no ninjutsu can be faster than light, unless he knows in advance..."
Looking at a tree root slowly emerging from the ground, with Li Zhongren emerging from the root unharmed, Mabroth closed his mouth.
"That's a good move."
Li Zhongren clapped his hands.
“I almost died.”
"Have you seen this trick before?"
The Fourth Generation Ai couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, because the last time this move appeared in the ninja world was at least several decades ago, or even earlier. How could he know it?
"Hey"
Li Zhongren couldn't help but smile. Although he couldn't see the expression on Fourth Generation Ai's face, he knew that he must be very surprised. But that was understandable, because Fourth Generation Ai was a fish with no loopholes.
He can discover and use the difference in electric charge to create intensive thunderstorms to kill the enemy, but he doesn't know that in the world he lives in, it is said in elementary school textbooks that when you feel the hair on your body suddenly stand up, your skin feels a slight tingling, or even hear a slight popping and "chirping" sound, this is a sign that lightning is about to hit you.
However, for most ninjas, they would just regard this as a side effect of fighting against a Lightning Release Ninja.
So, when he realized this, he immediately used the Wood Clone Technique, and his real body instantly hid underground.
"So, do you have any other tricks? If not, I can fight you all day long."
"Are you stupid, Mitsuha Kotori?"
Hearing this, the Fourth Generation Ai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm waiting for my 10,000 Kumogakure ninjas to recover their strength. What are you waiting for? Or do you really think that I will fight you to the death one-on-one in front of my own home? You can't be so naive, can't be, can't be."
"Oh, me."
Li Zhongren rubbed his nose, looking as if he had not expected it. After all, as he had said before, the Cloud Ninjas have always been shameless.
"I'm waiting for Minato Namikaze to wake up."
"Huh?? Hahahahaha."
Hearing this, the fourth generation Ai's laughter resounded throughout the earth, as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"My Ai family has been passed down for more than 200 years. I am the third person to master the state of mind, and I did it with the help of my father. How can he do that?"
"Well, his name is Namikaze Minato."
"Hey, Sanye, don't praise me like that. I'll get shy too."
"What???"
The Fourth Generation Ai couldn't help but turn his head. Namikaze Minato, who was controlled by him with black thunder, had woken up at some point and looked at him quietly with a pair of deep blue eyes.
"clatter!"
Then, Minato Namikaze snapped his fingers.
Everything around seemed to have changed.
The black lightning disappeared
The ruined land disappeared..
The mocking look in Kotori Mitsuha's eyes disappeared.
Between heaven and earth, only the Fourth Generation Ai and Namikaze Minato were left.
The two stood several meters apart, staring at each other.
“You really did it.”
The fourth generation Ai's voice was a little bitter, because he relied on his father's help, and in a sense, he did not completely master the state of mind. For example, he had no way to come in again, and if he came in, he would still be controlled inside.
"Chat?"
"What to talk about?"
"What have you experienced in the past year here?"
"Fight, keep fighting."
The Fourth Ai shrugged.
"Finally, with the help of my father, I defeated it. What about you?"
"It is also another me. However, there was no fight between us. We just exchanged ideas. It thinks that I should kill you, kill Minister Tsuchidai, and kill Mabroth. Only in this way can 'I' complete my plan, control the Frost Country Channel, and make it a blood vessel of the ninja world."
"But I finally convinced him."
"Ok?"
"It's about persuasion. Actually, you've all taken the wrong path. Ask your state of mind. Ai, the answer is right on the puzzle. It's impossible to defeat yourself by fighting. I heard that Kirabi defeated himself in the real waterfall by rapping."
“I thought he was joking.”
The fourth generation Ai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"He has never been a decent person. So, what did you tell yourself?"
"I told him that I am healthier than you, younger than you, and more talented than you. As long as I am alive, you will never be my opponent. Instead of killing you, it is better to let you continue to fight for the Kingdom of Lightning and repay the debt owed by your mother. He thought about it and felt that what I said made sense, so he let me pass."
"., you are good friends with Kotori Mitsuha. He is the kind of person who is openly arrogant. No one can force him to make a choice. He is the kind of person who would rather die together than compromise. As for you, you are secretly arrogant. However, fortunately, neither of you has the kind of invincible and competitive heart, otherwise you two will definitely fight in the future..."
"Maybe, haha."
Namikaze Minato shrugged.
"Sanye told me that there are three levels of life: seeing oneself, seeing the world, and seeing all living things. I think that humans, as the most intelligent creatures in this world, must always do something for the human race after satisfying their own desires and seeing the magnificence of the world."
"Ai, come and help me. For thousands of years, ninjas have been fighting and killing each other. I think this is very boring. Maybe you and I can't completely end the chaos, but what we do may be able to set an example for future generations. Who knows, one day, there will be no more wars in this world?"
"Myself, the world, and all living beings."
The fourth generation Ai took a breath slowly, and after a long time, he shook his head.
"Ai, meet the Fifth Raikage, Minato Namikaze."
