Chapter 181: Human sorrows and joys are not the same
Chapter 181: Human sorrows and joys are not the same
“Boom, boom, boom!!!”
In an instant, the earth shook.
The Sand Village was clearly covered with yellow sand everywhere, but from beneath the sand, seemingly endless mud gushed out, instantly submerging almost all possible places to stand. If measured by distance, this was almost a circle with a border radius of more than three kilometers!
The mud rushed up into the sky and gathered into a huge bowl that looked like a sky curtain, trapping everyone inside, including the people of the Iwagakure Village!
It didn't stop here, the seemingly loose soil began to shrink and compact itself continuously.
Soon, it turned into a rock so huge and heavy that the ground outside the Sand Village shook a few times.
Combined Ninjutsu·Earth Release·Earth Cage·Duet.
Under the guidance of Ohnoki, the Iwagakure ninja inside the rock formed hand seals again, and the soil inside continued to roll, turning into mud waves, sweeping away into the distance. Finally, from eight directions, it wrapped Li Zhongren and Ye Cang together.
Each team was also trapped by a rock bowl.
It is obvious that the big bowl outside is to prevent Mitsuha Takanashi from leaving, while the small bowl inside is to prevent Mitsuha Takanashi from attacking the Iwagakure ninjas who are maintaining the joint ninjutsu.
"So, this should be the method that trapped the Third Raikage."
Mitsuha Takanashi and Ye Cang, who had recovered most of his chakra, stood quietly on the top of the tree, watching everything. He seemed to be doing nothing, but in fact, countless roots under the ground were already exploring the way for him.
This is a 360-degree spherical rock, and there are complex barriers mixed in these rocks.
These barriers can prevent others from using earth escape to pass through the rocks. If you want to pass through the rocks, you either have to break them with pure violence, or you have to obtain the corresponding permissions.
Even, Mitsuha Takanashi suspected that these rocks could even stop the Flying Thunder God Technique. After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique had been proven to be not unsolvable. As long as the opponent also understood space spells, at least in positional warfare, the Flying Thunder God Technique could be restrained.
"You cover me, I will try to see if I can break this rock."
"What are you thinking about?"
Mitsuha Takanashi waved her hand.
"Unless it is a lightning-attributed ninjutsu, even if your bloodline limit is at its maximum, it is impossible to break the joint ninjutsu performed by 10,000 people. Save your energy."
As she spoke, Mitsuha Takanashi clapped her hands.
"Wood Release: Adrenaline!"
In an instant, his sacred tree bloodline level directly increased to LV60!
Yes, during these three years, his strength has been improved once again, from LV30 to LV40. Moreover, it lived up to his expectations. After the blood of the sacred tree reached LV40, his blood attributes once again unlocked new abilities.
This time, the unlocked ability is not a ninjutsu, but a passive absorption ability.
In short, he has possessed some of the true abilities of the sacred tree. For example, before, his Wood Release could only absorb chakra, but the ninjutsu that transformed chakra into a form was impossible for him to absorb.
This absorption ability can extract the chakra part after the formation of ninjutsu.
Of course, it is definitely not as terrifying as the sacred tree that eats nine tailed beasts in an instant, but this move gives Kotori Mitsuha the ultimate confidence. Unless the opponent is at the level of Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, who possesses the suppression power that transcends realms, otherwise, no one else can kill him before his ninjutsu ends.
"Wood Release: Civil Engineering!!"
The earth began to shake, and endless soil beneath the ground began to rise under his control. However, the difference was that his earth escape was also mixed with dense roots, some big, some small, some thick, some thin, intertwined with each other, crisscrossing across the fields. These roots were like steel bars in concrete, and they also formed a small bowl, trapping himself and Ye Cang inside.
"So, you want to fight them?"
Looking at Mitsuha Kotori who was sitting on the ground and panting, Ye Cang also sat next to her and asked.
At the same time, outside the bowl, there were bursts of roars and crashes.
There was even the sound of Ōnoki's furious Dust Release: Original World Separation Technique mixed in.
Unfortunately, facing Li Zhongren's LV60 bloodline ninjutsu, all the attacks, even part of the Dust Release, turned into nutrients to nourish and repair his bowl-shaped wall that looked like a reinforced concrete structure.
"Ah."
Mitsuha Takanashi nodded.
"We can't get out if we're trapped in here. There's no doubt about that. Besides, the other side has 10,000 ninjas, and they're Iwagakure ninjas who are extremely good at defense and combined ninjutsu. Facing them, the only result of attacking is that all your chakra will be used up and you'll be killed in the end. In this process, the other side may not even die. After all, most of your attacks will fall on their earth escape techniques."
"So, this is also part of your plan?"
Ye Cang looked at the calm and composed Mitsuha Kotori and suddenly felt relieved. Yes, this man has always been very attentive. If he could be so calm, he must have guessed this.
"Well, after I anticipated Ōnoki's intervention, I deduced that he would eventually target me. After all, I am the core that connects the Sand Village and the Cloud Village."
"As long as I die, no matter you or Minato, you will have to compromise in the end."
"I won't!"
"If you can't do that, then you are just yourself. Even the people who originally supported you will eventually betray you. This is also human nature. You have to remember that human joys and sorrows are not the same. Many times, the things you think are very important are not worth mentioning in the eyes of others."
"If I die, you will be sad."
"The people of Sunagakure won't."
"Neither will anyone from Konoha."
"Even less so for the people of Kumogakure."
"After all, anyone in this world can die, so why can't I?"
"They care more about their own lives than the death of an outsider like me."
"When you say that, I suddenly feel that everything I do seems to be meaningless."
"I remember telling you to love the people, not just one individual."
"People are lovely, but if you look at a certain person individually, there must be something hateful about him." "So, how do we leave here?"
"Wait."
"wait?"
"Well, wait, I have a backup plan."
"What back-up plan?"
"Hey"
Mitsuha Takanashi smiled.
"He is a very interesting and boring person. In short, I am prepared to give him my fame. After that, it all depends on how he goes."
-
"Brother, are you okay?!"
In the village, Yan Ping'an was patrolling the village with Gwen. Suddenly, a huge ball that seemed to cover the sky and the sun appeared on the screen in the sky, trapping Xiao Niaoyou Sanye and Ye Cang inside. He opened the shared space immediately and asked.
"No problem. How about you? How's the team battle mission going?"
"I don't know. This reincarnation space is too crude. Many things that should be there are missing. It doesn't even show the progress of the task. There will be a prompt only when the sun comes out tomorrow morning."
“So, there are still variables, right?”
"Yes, but the whole village is under martial law now. Ordinary people can only stay at home temporarily. Only ninjas can patrol as required. In addition, Tony Stark is working at full capacity to monitor the entire Sand Village. However, the Third Kazekage seems to have lost contact."
"It doesn't matter. I have my own arrangements for this matter. You can go and do your thing."
"Brother Hokage, if you need anything just let me know. I need to speak to Tony Stark here. So, what intel do you have, Stark?"
"You should call me Second Uncle, you bastard."
In the underground base, Tony Stark leaned back in his chair with his feet on the control panel in front of him, looking at the densely packed screens opposite. Of course, he couldn't see all of them because they were for the ninjas. He read the information directly through Jarvis II.
“I’ve discovered some issues here.”
"what is the problem?"
"According to my infrared radar, the infrared reflection concentration in some of the Sand Hidden Buildings is increasing sharply, so much so that the glass has turned red. Now, the closest building to you is a building at nine o'clock. Yes, I'm controlling the puppet to wave at you."
"receive."
Yan Ping'an nodded and led Gwen towards the building.
"Your spider sense isn't responding?"
"No."
Gwen shrugged.
"My spider sense will only react to events that can make me feel dangerous. If the opponent has a strong ability to hide, my spider sense will be ineffective to a certain extent. You may not know that I defeated a lizard monster before. He was a mad scientist who used himself for experiments and turned into a big lizard. He had that ability. I was almost killed by him in the sewer."
"dong dong dong"
Yan Ping'an came to the door, knocked gently, and then pushed hard. The huge force directly broke the door lock, and he pushed the door open and walked in. This is the privilege of a ninja.
Sure enough, in this building that was supposed to belong to a shop, the shop owner and his wife were lying on the bed, breathing rapidly. Not only were they sweating all over their bodies, but their skin was also red from the heat. Looking closely, it even seemed as if they were glowing.
Moreover, it seemed that it was because Yan Ping'an broke in, and it also seemed that the timing was just right.
The two people lying on the bed first straightened their bodies, and then, visible to the naked eye, dense hairs emerged from their bodies. Then, their mouths bulged, their hands and feet turned into claws, and they grew sharp fangs and nails.
"What the hell, werewolf??"
In an instant, Yan Ping'an understood the team's idea. They wanted to release the werewolf virus and infect the entire Sand Village, turning them into werewolves, thus creating huge chaos and destruction. And more importantly, those guys who released the virus could completely hide and not show up. In such a large Sand Village, it would be almost impossible to find them.
"Werewolf? Virus?"
After hearing Yan Ping'an's report, Tony Stark immediately sat up straight, and his lazy eyes became serious. Of course, this was not because he was a good man who loved the people like his own children. He was a capitalist, from the very beginning and from the bottom of his heart. It's just that his bottom line was a little higher than that of other capitalists. His business was not to cheat the poor of their money, that's all.
Therefore, he is still the kind of person who puts profit first.
In fact, even in the original world, when he saved the world and snapped his fingers, it was not for this world, but for his daughter.
Naturally, after realizing the importance of the matter, he immediately entered serious mode.
"Jarvis."
"I'm here."
"Turn off other modes and fully activate infrared detection. At the same time, mark all points with abnormal infrared rays. Start the infectious disease calculation model, analyze the starting point, and then query the database to track down all suspicious people at the starting point."
"Received, order being executed."
Then, Tony Stark's orders were executed one by one.
The large screen in front of me merged into one. This was the floor plan of the Sand Village. Then, each place on it was lit up. These were the points with abnormal body temperatures. Eventually, these points were constructed into a radioactive network through the infectious disease model.
"The center point has been found."
"Searching for suspicious persons"
Soon, with the help of the computing power of Jarvis II, three suspicious people were marked out. They were all masked and dressed in traditional traveler clothes, so their appearances could not be seen clearly. However, these three people made a move and secretly released something in the crowd.
Of course, this is not important. Following these three people, they hid themselves.
"The target has been located. I will continue to track these three people. I will also notify Scorpion and ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to come and help."
"Got it. Leave these three to me and Gwen."
As he spoke, Yan Ping'an exerted force with his hands, and the limbs of the couple in front of him, who had turned into werewolves, were broken. Then, Gwen on the side shot out several spider silks and tied the two of them up like dumplings.
