JST Chapter 139: A Stage Set for Chaos
🕑 Added 2024-12-26 22:30:44 +0000 UTCTobirama, oblivious to the silent Kazuki, continued to be excited, his eyes shining with a spark of madness. "Kazuki, this is definitely good for you!" He insisted fervently. "Shikotsumyaku will allow you to manipulate your bones at will. In addition, it will greatly increase your regenerative capacity and improve your body's vitality."
Gesturing energetically, he added: "If you combine this with continuous training under the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, your body will be as tough as a Susanoo!"
Kazuki continued to listen in silence, while Tobirama spoke without stopping.
"Tobirama, tell me the truth..." Kazuki broke the silence with a grim tone. "Am I the product of your forbidden technique?"
"Did you fail to collect the chakra or cells of the Kaguya clan, or did you die in battle before you had time? Now you want me, a semi-finished product, to finish the job?"
Tobirama's expression froze. He was only thinking about how to make Kazuki stronger, but forgot about this matter...
Even though Tobirama was in a state of soul, he couldn't help but start sweating.
At this moment, Tobirama wanted Kazuki to resurrect Mito and have a good talk about the rumor that Kazuki is the product of a forbidden technique...
Of course, it was just a thought.
Even the flexible Tobirama didn't dare to try this kind of thing easily.
Kazuki stared at Tobirama, shook his head and sighed. "Forget it, Tobirama, just lie to me this last time, don't tell other lies in the future, otherwise I will be angry."
"I won't mention this matter again..."
Tobirama felt very aggrieved. He was really innocent! And he had never lied to Kazuki...
Kazuki added with a wry smile: "As for the Shikotsumyaku… you're right. This Kekkei Genkai that is on the same level as the Sharingan and the Byakugan, if they don't value it in Kiri, then I will take it to protect it."
Kazuki could hardly help but laugh. In his mind, he was thinking about how he would explain if he displayed multiple Kekkei Genkai in the future.
Although he had no need to give explanations to anyone, for the people close to him, he felt that he should at least give them a reason.
Tobirama volunteered to jump up and asked Kazuki to take the initiative to absorb the Shikotsumyaku...
But in Kazuki's opinion, a mere ninja from the Kaguya clan is not enough to satisfy him.
Just like the Hyuga clan, these shinobi clans whose bloodline is gradually diluted, the power of just one person is too weak.
It was necessary for the entire clan to become his wings, filling in the gaps in their bloodline to advance towards the path of absolute power.
...
Meanwhile, on the Kirigakure team.
"So this is Konoha? It's nothing special, right?"
Zabuza said with a cold expression and a serious voice: "Even in this kind of village, can there be a Shura and a God of the Shinobi World?"
Mei sighed silently and did not respond.
If it were not for the order of the Third Mizukage, she really didn't want to come to Konoha.
As a kunoichi with a Kekkei Genkai and surrounded by confidants of the Mizukage and members of the Kaguya clan who were practically on the verge of rebellion, Mei couldn't help but feel like she was being used as cannon fodder.
"Our village is still better, little demons!" Suikazan Fuguki smiled. "Although our village is restrictive and that little demon Zabuza even killed all of his classmates during the graduation exam, those left are true elites."
"On the battlefield, the shinobi of the Blood Mist will be the strongest."
Kisame narrowed his eyes and looked at Konoha in silence. He has a special mission on his shoulders.
If the opportunity to frame Konoha arose, he was under orders to eliminate Kaguya Jinzaburo and Terumi Mei, the two shinobi with the greatest potential from the clans with Kekkei Genkai.
"I don't care about all that. This test allows you to kill, right?" Jinzaburo's expression showed a sickly smile. "I just want to fight, fight to death!"
Inwardly, Suikazan Fuguki cursed, but outwardly he replied with a smile: "Yes, you can kill. Do it freely..."
Although the Third Mizukage had ordered him, along with Kisame, to look for an opportunity to eliminate Jinzaburo and Mei, Fuguki did not feel confident in accomplishing the mission.
After all, this was just a chunin exam. If the jonin couldn't deal with Jinzaburo, what hope did the softies of Konoha, immersed in their peace, have?
The Kiri-nin walked slowly through the village. Some Konoha shinobi greeted them and guided them to the meeting point.
Moments later...
The Suna-nin also arrived in Konoha.
Unlike Kiri's large group, only two people represented Sunagakure: Chiyo and her grandson Sasori.
"Grandma, is Hatake Sakumo still in this village?" Sasori arranged his red hair with an elegant gesture. His eyes, filled with killing intent, flashed as he said coldly: “I have to kill him with my own hands!”
Chiyo nodded. "Sasori, you will have a chance to kill that white-haired bastard, and I will help you..."
But she added firmly: "However, this time, we are only here to gather information. You must control your emotions and not reveal too much. Once the war breaks out, you will be able to do as you wish. This is all for your parents' revenge."
Sasori nodded seriously, his cold eyes scanning the village.
Chiyo sighed silently. Her hatred towards Konoha was so deep that she couldn't get rid of it.
Her son and daughter-in-law had been killed by Hatake Sakumo, and her only grandson had fallen into darkness from loneliness. Sasori had resorted to forbidden techniques: human puppets, body modifications… and Chiyo, although aware of these atrocities, did not dare to stop him, fearing to break the fragile bond they shared.
Interestingly, when rumors of Hatake Sakumo's downfall spread, while others wished for his death, Chiyo hoped he was still alive. At least this way, Sasori had a goal in his heart.
...
Meanwhile Kazuki watched Chiyo and Sasori with a subtle smile.
Konoha was putting on an appearance of weakness that they were trying to cover up with a strong appearance in these chunin exams. Excluding Uchiha Obito, the remaining genin looked like a bunch of older guys like Might Duy.
In contrast, the other villages had sent shinobi with jonin-level abilities.
Sasori, for example, already possessed the power to assassinate the Third Kazekage... and yet he had been sent to this exam!
The Iwa-nin arrived shortly after.
The leader was Kitsuchi, son of Tsuchikage Onoki. At his side was his bodyguard Akatsuchi.
Iwagakure seemed to have no interest in pretending. Among those sent were experienced jonin such as Higashikawa, Moya and others.
From his face to his body and even his own temperament, he has nothing to do with Genin.
The last to arrive were the Kumo-nin.
The leader of the group was Dodai. He was accompanied by Darui, Cee and Omoi, future elites and protectors of the Raikage.
Omoi looked at Konoha's appearance that had been carefully arranged by Kazuki and sighed.
Despite the richness it reflected, he felt that Konoha lacked a certain spark.
"Speaking of which, how dare Konoha respond to Raikage-sama so strongly in this state?"
Looking at the unsuspecting villagers, he sighed. "These people don't even seem alert. They really think we've come to sign a peace agreement."
"If we started a war now, we could easily crush them."
Omoi frowned, a look of doubt on his face. "I always have a feeling that it's unreal. This can't be that the Konoha shinobi deliberately put on a weak posture so that we can take the initiative to start a war?"
Dodai frowned and scolded: "Omoi, you're letting your imagination run wild again. Use your eyes, not empty assumptions."
Dodai squinted his eyes, looked at the passing Root extras, and said confidently: "These Konoha shinobi and residents are all unguarded. Look, I can only see relaxation in their eyes, which is not something that can be easily faked..."
"Only when someone truly believes that we have come to seek peace and prevent war, can they show that kind of calm. If it were as you say and Konoha had the confidence to face the entire shinobi alliance alone, do you think this would be possible?"
Omoi thought for a moment and nodded. "You are right, Dodai-sama"
"Even if Konoha were powerful, its shinobi would not be able to remain calm at the prospect of taking on the entire shinobi world. This relaxed atmosphere can only be due to the relief of believing that we have brought about a peaceful solution."
Dodai patted him on the shoulder with an approving smile. "Trust yourself more, Omoi. Your caution is admirable, but don't overdo it."
...
Meanwhile, atop the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Yashiro silently approached Kazuki, who was watching everything from the top. "Kazuki-sama, shall we start now?"
Kazuki smiled calmly and nodded. "It's time. Let them see how fractured the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha is."
With that brief order, Kazuki activated the plan.
The Konoha plot is set in motion!
