Chapter 190

"Hehe, we are currently lacking resources and ninja tool equipment. If we do not make rapid progress, then our Konoha base will sooner or later be destroyed by the Akatsuki Organization!" the ANBU leader said coldly. He would not allow the Konoha base to fall; they must unite, even if many more sacrifices are required, to defend Konoha Village until the very end.

At the Hokage Rock, Hiruzen Sarutobi was discussing matters with several ANBU members.

"The will of the Third Kazekage, my lord, must be conveyed; we must ensure the safety of Konoha Village!"

"Moreover, we must not only ensure the safety of Konoha Village but also protect Uchiha Itachi; he is extremely important to Konoha Village!"

"Furthermore, he possesses the Six Tomoe '533' Rinnegan. This time, we must capture Uchiha Itachi!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked. Uchiha Itachi possesses the Six Tomoe Rinnegan. If he truly falls into their hands, then Konoha Village's strength will increase once again, even surpassing its former glory to become a power on the level of the Four Emperors.

At the border of the Land of Fire, inside a valley.

"Finally dealt with those annoying guys!" a young man slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and then said.

This young man was Kuchiki Senya.

After eliminating five Konoha ninja, Kuchiki Senya realized he had been exposed, so he fled with Kakashi, Yugao Uzuki, and Shikamaru Nara.

However, during the escape, he encountered the Tsuchikage, so he went with the flow and followed the Tsuchikage into this forest.

"But killing me is not that easy; you people of Konoha Village are not worthy to oppose me!"

"Kuchiki Senya!"

A low and chilling voice came.

"Tsuchikage, you actually followed me here!" Kuchiki Senya turned his head and said to the Tsuchikage.

"Hmph, Kuchiki Senya, you actually dared to betray our plan; you truly have great courage!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki said, looking at Kuchiki Senya with an icy face.

"Oh? You people of Konoha Village are not worthy to be my enemy? Then I would like to see who is stronger!"

"Tsukuyomi!"

"Tsukuyomi!"

Kuchiki Senya looked coldly at the Tsuchikage and then released his unique genjutsu; the essence of Tsukuyomi lies in using genjutsu on the enemy.

The effect of Tsukuyomi is to use genjutsu to confuse the opponent and then attack the opponent while they are unprepared; this is the characteristic of Tsukuyomi.

"Damn it!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly cast a genjutsu to resist Kuchiki Senya's Tsukuyomi.

"Tsukuyomi!" Kuchiki Senya did not pause at all and cast another type of genjutsu.

Tsukuyomi can be said to be a type of genjutsu that can make people experience illusions and can also control others' consciousness.

"Damn it, this guy actually used Tsukuyomi and genjutsu twice, and the power of both is stronger than before; what kind of genjutsu has he cultivated?" Tsuchikage Ōnoki cursed inwardly while resisting Kuchiki Senya's Tsukuyomi.

Although Tsukuyomi's genjutsu cannot cause damage to the Tsuchikage, it will consume Tsuchikage Ōnoki's chakra, and Tsukuyomi also consumes a lot from Tsuchikage Ōnoki; if it continues, Tsuchikage Ōnoki will definitely be defeated.

"Is this the power of Tsukuyomi?!" Kuchiki Senya's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"When did you learn Tsukuyomi?" Tsuchikage Ōnoki said through gritted teeth; although Tsukuyomi lasts only a short five seconds, it is enough for him to do many things.

"From the day I first learned Tsukuyomi, I have been practicing this genjutsu hard!" Kuchiki Senya said calmly; his face showed no excitement or thrill, and his inner heart remained as calm as an ancient well without ripples.

Because he knew clearly in his heart that all this effort was merely his own one-sided wish; Uchiha Itachi would not like him.

"Then you shall die; such genjutsu will not cause any trouble to me!"

Tsuchikage Ōnoki's pupils turned into the shape of the Mangekyō Sharingan; subsequently, a massive oppressive feeling instantly enveloped this space, as if everything around had turned into sand grains, which then slowly scattered away.

"Earth Release: Sand Armor!"

When this space was crushed by Earth Release, Kuchiki Senya's eyes shimmered with eerie light, and armor composed of flowing sand appeared around his body, blocking the Tsuchikage's genjutsu attack.

"This brat actually mastered the fusion technique of Earth Release and genjutsu!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki said with a solemn complexion...

Just now, his genjutsu was unleashed with the aid of the Sand Armor, but even so, Tsuchikage Ōnoki did not believe his genjutsu could do anything to Kuchiki Senya.

"This power is what I crave, hahaha!" Kuchiki Senya laughed madly, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body; a blood-red Tailed Beast Mode chakra wrapped around his arms, filling his arms with immense strength.

"Earth Release: Magnificent Iron Sand Spear!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki roared, and a sand iron spear over 20 meters long shot toward Kuchiki Senya.

"An attack of this level cannot possibly hurt me; Tsukuyomi!" Kuchiki Senya glanced indifferently at the rushing sand iron spear, a mocking smile hanging on his lips.

In the next instant, Kuchiki Senya cast Tsukuyomi; ripples of pitch black spread out, and that huge sand iron spear instantly became rigid, then shattered with a boom, turning into countless sand grains that vanished.

"How is this possible!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible; this is Tsukuyomi; you are just too weak, Tsuchikage!"

Kuchiki Senya's speed was astonishing; in an instant, he appeared beside Tsuchikage Ōnoki and fiercely kicked his abdomen.

Pfft—

Tsuchikage Ōnoki opened Zhang Zui and spat out a large mouthful of blood; his whole body flew out 2.1 like a kite with a broken string.

"Tsuchikage Ōnoki, prepare to die!"

Kuchiki Senya's eyes were bloodshot; then he raised his right fist, and black tadpole characters floated up one by one; immediately after, he punched toward Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

"Bastard!"

Tsuchikage Ōnoki roared in anger, then took out a scroll and tore it apart; immediately, a dazzling golden light pillar appeared, wrapping his body and forming an indestructible protective barrier.

Boom-boom-boom!

Kuchiki Senya's fist smashed into the golden light pillar; then a roaring sound rang out, a mushroom cloud rose up, and the entire forest trembled.

"Damn it, he actually dodged!"

More than a hundred kilometers away from the battle range, a man covered in blood stood on a rock, panting heavily.

164. We Were Once Close Friends

Just now, he used a life-saving trump card and thus avoided this fatal blow.

This man was Uchiha Madara after being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

In the original story, Uchiha Madara after the Impure World Reincarnation was a top expert in the Shinobi World, with extremely powerful strength; he not only mastered Sage Mode but also comprehended various taboo secret techniques.

In this era, the resurrected Uchiha Madara was a powerful figure.

In this war, Uchiha Madara single-handedly repelled the Konoha ninja army's assault, and finally escaped with the help of the Third Raikage.

"As expected of Uchiha Madara, truly formidable — to actually defeat the Third Raikage!" Kuchiki Senya murmured.

"That's right, you are indeed very powerful, but you still lost to the Third Raikage." Suddenly, a voice rang out from an unknown void, and immediately an old man shrouded entirely in a pitch-black robe was seen stepping through the air.

"Tsukuyomi · Blade of Dreams!" Kuchiki Senya directly formed hand seals, and a silver moonlight blade whistled out.

"Heh, I didn't expect to be forced into using this move — you really are impressive. You are the most powerful junior I have ever seen!" The old man shook his head slightly and laughed.

"Who are you?" Kuchiki Senya frowned. He had never heard of the old man before him, and this familiar feeling, as though he had seen him somewhere.

"Whether you believe it or not, we were once close friends. Right now I merely wanted to test your strength — I hope you don't blame me!" The old man chuckled lightly, and then nine moon-shaped moon slashes appeared behind him.

"Tsukuyomi · Moonlight Bullet!"

The old man extended a finger, and then nine incomparably sharp moonlight bullets shot toward Kuchiki Senya.

"Tsukuyomi · Moonlight Cannon!"

A flash of killing intent swept through Kuchiki Senya's eyes, and then he unleashed Tsukuyomi · Moonlight Cannon.

"Bang bang bang—"

Two powerful forces collided, and the entire forest shook violently for a moment.

"Your genjutsu is indeed very powerful! But…" A crimson glint flashed in Kuchiki Senya's eyes, and then the aura around him surged once more, roughly doubling in intensity.

"I have now reached the Half-Tsukuyomi realm — your Tsukuyomi is completely useless against me!" Kuchiki Senya gave a low shout, then thrust his palm forward.

A massive Rasengan instantly formed, then surged toward the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.

"What?" The Tsuchikage Ōnoki's face changed. He discovered he could no longer use Tsukuyomi, nor could he take even a single step.

"This is my new ultimate technique — Tsukuyomi · Rasengan!"

Kuchiki Senya let out a cold laugh, then controlled the massive Rasengan to violently bombard the Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

"Boom!"

The Rasengan blasted through the Tsuchikage Ōnoki's body without any obstruction. The fierce gust scattered his clothes, revealing his entire form.

"It's actually you!!!" Looking at the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, torn apart by his own Rasengan, Kuchiki Senya's face changed drastically.

This fellow was unmistakably the Tsuchikage Ōnoki from the Naruto World.

Tsuchikage Ōnoki was one of the ninjas born during the founding era of Konoha village. Although he was a waste, he was among the earliest batch of ninjas to join Konoha village.

Tsuchikage Ōnoki's lifelong goal was to reform Konoha village's rules and make ninjas even more powerful.

Then, by a chance encounter, he met Jiraiya — that is, the brother of Hyūga Neji's father.

Jiraiya's older brother — Jiraiya's parents' accident was what caused his father's tragic death.

So after Jiraiya learned the full story, he decided to take Ōnoki away and make him his disciple.

Ōnoki was a clever man. Under Jiraiya's guidance, he successfully cultivated his own unique genjutsu ninjutsu, and possessed strength surpassing other Kage-level powerhouses, which is why he successfully became Hokage.
