Chapter 358: Staff Officer Tsuru: Using Special Means to Obtain Dust Release

Outside the Genjutsu of Kyoka Suigetsu,

Aizen watched with great interest at Mitarashi Anko, who had developed a desire to recruit him.

The information he spoke of,

was all superficial intelligence that Ichimaru Gin had gathered during this time in the Samsara Game, including the conflict between Konoha and Orochimaru, and the occupied Land of Fire.

He had originally intended to find some random excuse to try and infiltrate Konoha.

Unexpectedly, Anko's reaction seemed to have a deep connection with that conspirator named Orochimaru.

Aizen was very familiar with that kind of look,

just like Hinamori Momo, who yearned for him; if she were to be killed by his own hands after the subsequent plan matured, she would probably also reveal such a resentful expression, right?

Truly interesting.

Aizen liked interesting things very much, so he agreed as a matter of course.

With the assistance of countless otherworldly players, the battlefield began to turn.

The rampaging Abyss Evil Gods were intercepted by the crowd and could no longer destroy the Land of Hot Water as smoothly as before.

"Frost Barrier!"

Kuzan's entire body was enveloped in low temperatures, constantly emitting frost mist.

He spread his hands,

and a circle of near-absolute low-temperature azure barrier rapidly expanded outward, shrouding the buildings and Pollution Monsters along the way.

The skin of those Abyss Evil Gods, as sturdy as stone statues, began to show fine cracks.

Frostbite status.

The extremely low temperature caused the Abyss Evil Gods' mobility to begin to slow down.

In the sky at the very center of the barrier,

a giant ice bow condensed and emerged, shooting continuously at the Pollution Monsters at the bottom as if it had automatic targeting.

Every frozen arrow shot out could tear open the cracks in the Abyss Evil Gods' wounds.

Bang, bang.

Accompanied by the death of the Abyss Evil Gods, two Pollution Crystals were already pocketed by Kuzan before they even hit the ground.

"Hell Flame!"

After a period of dedicated cultivation,

with the resource tilt from the Navy forces, Akainu, who had previously been suppressed by Uzumaki Naruto, now vaguely showed a trend of having the upper hand.

He released magma like an ocean, covering the entire land, and the scorching heat dyed the earth into scorched soil.

Heads of ferocious Hell Flame demons from Hell wrestled with the Abyss Evil Gods, constantly splashing out scorching magma.

"Wurahaha!"

"What a satisfying battle, it's a completely head-on slaughter; even my Murakumogiri is emitting a happy humming sound!"

Whitebeard turned his body to the side, swung Murakumogiri to its maximum range, and used all his strength,

hacking down on the head of an Abyss Evil God, severing its head to the ground with a single blade.

The dense battlefield was soon plowed into deep, purified furrows by the Marine Headquarters, the Whitebeard Pirates, and Elite players from several Ninja Villages, as if harvesting a wheat field.

"How terrifying, a rare legion-type ability; is he the Whitebeard from the Sea World?"

Onoki's eyes revealed wariness as he silently kept a safe distance from the Whitebeard Pirates.

It was not that he feared the other party; behind him was Iwagakure, and as Tsuchikage, he could not possibly fear anyone.

It was just that Onoki's core ability was 【Gunner General Lv. 33】, a long-range, high-power ability that was very compatible with Dust Release.

The disadvantage was that his melee combat ability was relatively weak.

He was very countered by small, high-burst legions like the Scarlet Trolls,

so even if there was no conflict now, Onoki tried his best to avoid being intruded upon within a safe distance by the other party.

"Dust Release: Charged Electric Laser Cannon!"

The short, elderly Onoki was carrying a tall gun bag, which was almost dragged on the ground by him.

He reached back into the gun bag,

and a wide laser cannon barrel that needed to be carried on the shoulder was pulled out.

Terrifying energy that made everyone feel palpitations continuously gathered in the cannon chamber.

Boom! Accompanied by a huge muzzle blast, a laser cannon beam entwined with Dust Release cut the entire battlefield in half. The purple-red explosive laser particles turned everything they touched into dust.

In an instant, four Abyss Evil Gods died under the Dust Release laser cannon.

"It's the leader of Iwagakure; is he showing off his muscles to the Navy?"

Staff Officer Tsuru looked at the other party's destructive power with some surprise and said to the intelligence recorder beside her: "After we go back, investigate the intelligence regarding Onoki Ryotenbin."

"The laser cannon of a 【Gunner General】 probably requires a full set of top-tier defensive gear to have such power."

"As far as I know, there are not many players in the Ninja World who have gathered a full set of top-tier defensive gear, and Iwagakure is not among them."

Although it was their first time descending into the Ninja World, the Navy and various forces had exchanges in the Samsara Game, and the background of some forces had been probed very clearly.

Up until now,

Orochimaru, Terumi Mei, and the Leader of the Dawn Organization were the Ninja World players who had completely gathered top-tier defensive gear.

Orochimaru relied on the fully controlled Fire Empire, while Terumi Mei had extremely good luck, helping the Bantu tribe rescue their Clan Head 【Bwanga】, who was dying in the Ice Dragon's nest, and obtained a full set of 【Frost Snow Mountain】 defensive gear.

Intelligence regarding the Dawn Organization was difficult to probe, but it had been confirmed that they possessed a third set of top-tier defensive gear.

Apart from that, no one else in the Ninja World had gathered top-tier defensive gear.

"Therefore, it should be related to Iwagakure's Ninjutsu."

After thinking, Staff Officer Tsuru said: "Kuzan spent a large amount of assets to upgrade the Ice-Ice Fruit's ability to 【Tier 2】, mixing it with his core ability 【Heart of Ice Lv. 32】, which far surpasses a standard Heart of Ice."

"Dust Release should be the trump card Ninjutsu of Iwagakure; they won't hand it over to us easily, so we may need to resort to some special means when necessary..."

The 【Dust Release】 sold in the Ninja World Shop,

although it allows the purchaser to master Dust Release, it does not possess the ability to be taught or spread; this is the handiwork of the game merchant.

Even if the purchaser is very clear on the core of the commodity, they still lack the ability to teach it.

As a Bloodline Elimination, 【Dust Release】,

is not cheap in the Ninja World Shop.

The Marine Headquarters has at least double-digit Navy soldiers whose core ability is 【Gunner General】; Staff Officer Tsuru certainly doesn't have the money to exchange for Dust Release for all of them.

Therefore, the only way is to start with Iwagakure.

The means she spoke of include negotiation, purchase, exchange, and even Stealing.

After spending more time in contact with these players in the ninja world, her way of thinking is also undergoing a transformation.

Justice must have flexibility, rather than being rigid.

"Have we won?"

The civilians of the Land of Hot Water looked up, watching the brilliant energy explosion and the Abyss evil god swallowed by the blast,

all of them revealing gazes of hope.

Anko also breathed a sigh of relief; Konoha not being destroyed is the best ending.

To the side, Aizen, who was skillfully bandaging the injured Konoha ninja, revealed a faint, elusive smile at the corner of his mouth and whispered: "This is just an appetizer; the true opponent is the true form of the evil god, right?"

Even if Aizen is not a player,

his strength would not lose to anyone present; he can clearly perceive that the true form of the evil god, which has always been like a backdrop blocking the sky, is like a sun radiating evil, constantly sowing a type of highly potent Pollution Energy.

Is that the Pollution Energy the players speak of? As if to confirm Aizen's words,

the Abyss evil gods that were thrown across the Land of Hot Water like seeds, after being purified to a certain degree,

suddenly let out a low roar with extreme penetrating power from the sun of pollution above their heads.

Boom!

The shockwave of the low roar alone was like a full-version Shinra Tensei, spreading in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the Vacuum Wave stirred up by the shockwave swallowed everything in its path.

All that remained was the desolate earth shredded by the shockwave, and a dense Pollution Aura.

Bang.

Some Elite players who were able to fight back and forth with the Abyss evil gods barely gathered together, putting up various protective barriers to struggle against it.

Ordinary ninja couldn't even resist; they were blown away by the shockwave, swaying within the Vacuum Wave like ragdolls.

Thump, thump!

On the already desolate, sunken earth,

the Lv. 40 Dark Gold evil god makes its official debut.
