“Let’s go, Leticia, let’s go see how Orochimaru and the others are doing.”
“Yes.”
Leticia retracted her wings and jumped directly into Wang Xiaoming’s arms. She wrapped her arms around Wang Xiaoming’s neck and lifted a leg. Wang Xiaoming quickly reached out to hold Leticia, and then he was stunned for a moment.
“What’s wrong, Master? Is something wrong?”
Leticia wrapped her arms around Wang Xiaoming’s neck, her face full of smiles as she asked.
“No, not at all, perfectly correct!”
Wang Xiaoming reacted from his daze, shaking his head with a smile.
“Leticia, you really understand me more and more.”
Don’t I understand you, Master? If we’re not in a hurry, you’d never miss an opportunity to hug me.
Amidst Leticia’s disdainful eye-roll, Wang Xiaoming chuckled as he held Leticia, directly dragonified his wings, and then soared into the sky, flying towards the Konoha Village arena from the sky.
Along the way, ninjas from Konoha Village, Otogakure, and Sunagakure were constantly fighting, but the number of Jonin in Konoha Village was significantly higher than the opponent, resulting in Konoha consistently holding the advantage in the battles.
Furthermore, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, made an appearance, directly summoning a large toad, wielding a sword in each hand, and hacking away at the opposition.
Everyone was a summoning beast, but Jiraiya’s toad was able to use various weapons because its forelimbs were closer to human arms, which could be said to give it a complete advantage in battles of the same level.
Wang Xiaoming ignored them and directly returned to the sky above the arena, holding Leticia as he watched the battle between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage below.
Very similar to the original plot, Orochimaru still chose to show Hiruzen Sarutobi his new body, but he didn’t tell Sarutobi that he had obtained eternal life. After that, he still chose to use Impure World Reincarnation to have the First and Second Hokage fight Sarutobi.
Because it was the first summoning, Orochimaru didn’t dare to completely let go, and could only let the First and Second use about ten percent of their strength to fight Sarutobi. As a result, Sarutobi fought back and forth with the two of them. One didn’t use the true power of Wood Release, and the other didn’t use Flying Thunder God. Everyone was just playing around, having a very happy time.
After seeing Orochimaru playing with the souls of the dead like this, the Third Hokage also felt that he couldn’t let Orochimaru run rampant outside anymore. He chose to exchange his life for Orochimaru’s life.
So he used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, wanting to drag Orochimaru’s soul to die together, but unfortunately, Orochimaru’s soul was not dragged away. Originally, Orochimaru used the Kusanagi Sword to seriously injure and kill the Third, but this time, because he had replaced it with Kimimaro’s body, Orochimaru didn’t even need the Kusanagi Sword. The Third grabbed Orochimaru’s body, allowing Orochimaru to directly release his bone blades at close range, instantly turning the Third into a hedgehog.
The Third didn’t even have time to pull out Orochimaru’s soul before he kicked the bucket himself, and then died on the spot. It could be said that Orochimaru was unscathed!
How important a powerful body is. If Orochimaru had used a Uchiha’s body, he could have directly killed the Third with his Sharingan. Using Kimimaro’s body, he directly stabbed the Third to death with bones, allowing Orochimaru to avoid the tragedy of having his hands sealed that would have originally happened. How touching.
After killing the Third Hokage, Orochimaru was considered to have completed his mission. The main body of the Konoha Crush plan this time was completed, and he was about to start running away. As for the life and death of Sunagakure, that was not something he cared about.
Wang Xiaoming was in the high sky, watching Orochimaru running away below. Through the Blood Clan’s ability to sense his own kind, he clearly sensed Orochimaru’s direction and route. Hmm, he was going in the direction of the Land of Rice Fields.
Flapping his wings, Wang Xiaoming hugged Leticia and directly accelerated to land, stopping in front of Orochimaru.
After Orochimaru saw that the person who descended from the sky was Wang Xiaoming, he immediately stopped and respectfully saluted.
“Lord Xiaoming.”
“Orochimaru, are you satisfied with your new body?”
“Of course I’m satisfied, this body is really amazing.”
Orochimaru grinned, smiling happily.
“It’s good that you’re satisfied.”
Wang Xiaoming was also very satisfied.
“Now that you’re very satisfied, then next, you will provide me with a place, and I will also start my plan.”
“Lord Xiaoming, what is your plan?”
Orochimaru was very curious about Wang Xiaoming’s plan.
“This time I came out, not only to find my lost brother, but I also have a mission given to me by my family.”
Wang Xiaoming’s expression was serious.
“Humans have abused the power of the earth for too long. Most importantly, while humans are abusing the power of the earth, they are continuously causing damage to the earth. So this time, my main goal is to return the power of chakra to the earth!”
496. Jinchuriki, receive your swords!
Konoha suffered a lot of losses. Not many civilians died, but many Genin and Chunin were lost. After all, the first wave of attacks from Otogakure and Sunagakure required some sacrifices to resist. When the civilians were evacuated, Konoha began to fight back, and only then did Konoha feel a little more comfortable, but the initial losses had already been determined.
The Konoha Crush plan ended with Orochimaru’s departure. Konoha suffered heavy losses, with a large number of Chunin and Genin, and most importantly, the Third Hokage.
Sunagakure suffered even heavier losses. The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, died, and the One-Tail Jinchuriki died. The One-Tail even disappeared on the spot because of the death of the Jinchuriki. To get the One-Tail again, they would even have to wait until the One-Tail was reborn in a few years.
They didn’t know that the One-Tail had been taken away by Wang Xiaoming, so they could only assume that the Jinchuriki was killed, and then the One-Tail had no choice but to find a way to be reborn.
Wang Xiaoming, who had obtained Shukaku, had already left Konoha and came to the Land of Rice Fields with Orochimaru.
In the ninja world, in addition to the five great countries of the Land of Fire, Land of Lightning, Land of Water, Land of Wind, and Land of Earth, there are also many small countries. These small countries all have Daimyo, and they also have relative ninjas, but the ninjas here are relatively weak, which resulted in the entire country being easily entered and exited by ninjas from the five great countries. The Land of Rice Fields is one of these small countries. The Daimyo here is very miserable and can be assassinated at any time.
After defecting from Konoha, Orochimaru came directly to the Land of Rice Fields, established a base here, and then established the Otogakure. As everyone knows, every village needs a certain amount of ninjutsu reserves, but the thing Orochimaru lacks the least is ninjutsu. He basically knew all of Konoha’s ninjutsu, except for those family secret techniques!
Wang Xiaoming followed Orochimaru back to the Land of Rice Fields, and then immediately asked Orochimaru for an open space.
“Lord Orochimaru, what is Lord Xiaoming going to do?”
On the open space outside Otogakure, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto stood aside. Both of them were very curious as they watched Wang Xiaoming standing in the center of the field, wanting to know what Wang Xiaoming was going to do.
“I don’t know either, but since Lord Xiaoming requested such a large open space, it must have his profound meaning.”
Although he said so, Orochimaru already had some guesses in his heart. Orochimaru had heard Wang Xiaoming say that he wanted to return the power of the earth. What is the power of the earth? It is chakra. In the ninja world history that Wang Xiaoming said, chakra was originally the power of the earth. It was the people of the Otsutsuki clan who used the God Tree to extract chakra from the earth and condense it into chakra fruit, which finally allowed ninjas to appear in this world.
Later, the power of the God Tree was even divided into nine parts, which are the current nine tailed beasts. These nine tailed beasts are a part of the power of the earth. So, is Lord Xiaoming planning to collect the tailed beasts?
“Of course, we may be able to ask Lady Leticia. Lady Leticia, can you tell us what Lord Xiaoming’s plan is?”
Orochimaru turned his gaze to Leticia next to him.
“Master’s plan is very simple, collect the tailed beasts, all the tailed beasts.”
As expected!
Orochimaru felt that he was very smart, and guessed Wang Xiaoming’s plan all at once.
“Is it to revive the legendary God Tree?”
“Perhaps it is so, but that is Master’s plan, not something we should know.”
“That’s how it should be, Lady Leticia.”
Orochimaru understood Leticia’s meaning, don’t ask too much, don’t say too much, just do the work. Orochimaru agreed with this very much, he treated his subordinates like this.
But the most important thing is that if Wang Xiaoming really intends to do that, then it will be interesting. The tailed beasts are mainly in the hands of the five great countries. No matter how it is operated, it will offend the five great countries. Is Lord Xiaoming planning to offend all five great countries at once?
But, so what? With the power of eternal life and a family of eternal life behind him to support him, what are the five great countries!
That’s right, Orochimaru now considers himself Wang Xiaoming’s dog. Nothing can affect his loyalty to Wang Xiaoming. Eternal life and knowledge are too tempting for him. Even if he knows that his body will be controlled by Wang Xiaoming, so what! Orochimaru’s bottom line is very low. As long as he gets what he wants, he can do anything!
Under the gaze of Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, Wang Xiaoming slowly raised his right hand.
“Est.”
A silver-white, gorgeous long sword appeared out of thin air. Wang Xiaoming grasped the hilt and slashed directly at the air in front of him.
“Yugito!”
“Yugito? Is that the name of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?”
The name Wang Xiaoming shouted caused Orochimaru some confusion. The reason Orochimaru could thrive in the ninja world was because he placed great importance on intelligence. He had his pawns in all five major countries. It was truly impressive how he could gather intelligence and operate to such an extent all alone.
When he heard the name of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, he became very curious. What was Wang Xiaoming planning to do? What was the meaning of shouting a name out of nowhere?
Just as Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto were puzzled, black shadows shot out from the distant forest like cannonballs, heading straight for Wang Xiaoming.
“Ene…”
Seeing this, Yakushi Kabuto quickly wanted to warn him, but he only managed to say one word before the black shadow arrived in front of Wang Xiaoming and braked suddenly. The braking caused a terrifying gale, like a Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, blowing on Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto’s faces. They both had to take a slight step back and adopt a defensive stance to prevent themselves from being blown away. Fortunately, the gale had no killing power, only impact.
“This is!”
In the gale, Orochimaru also saw clearly what the black shadow was: Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning!
As the Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, her treatment was completely different from that of Jinchuriki in other countries. Because the Hidden Cloud Village was full of reckless people with simple and crude minds, they surprisingly had good relationships with the tailed beasts. Becoming a Jinchuriki was even a welcome thing in the Hidden Cloud Village.
However, for safety, the Jinchuriki were kept inside the village. But now, she had appeared here, and strangely, she was kneeling on one knee, using both hands to catch the sword that Wang Xiaoming swung down!
“Could it be!”
A look of horror appeared on Orochimaru’s face.
“That’s right, that woman was summoned by Master.”
Leticia gave Orochimaru a timely explanation, confirming the guess in his mind.
“To be able to summon someone just by saying their name, is such a thing really possible!”
Yugito was completely bewildered. As a ninja of the Hidden Cloud Village, and also the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, she was highly regarded in the village, even considered an idol. Deeply expected by everyone in the village, she worked very hard and constantly trained her ninjutsu.
Today, she was training her ninjutsu as usual, chatting with Matatabi, the Two-Tails, inside her. Among the tailed beasts, the Two-Tails was relatively easy to communicate with and had a relatively gentle personality. But during her daily practice, her entire body suddenly went out of control and rushed towards a certain direction.
The Land of Lightning was located in a highland area, so one could imagine how dangerous the journey was.
Originally, Yugito thought that someone was controlling her through a special ninjutsu, but later she discovered that this was not the case. It was already bad enough that her actions were out of control, but later on, her speed continued to increase, even to the point where she was flying directly above the ground. It was truly flying above the ground, without even touching the ground!
But it didn't stop there, it continued to accelerate, as if it wouldn't stop until it reached its destination! She flew all the way, accelerating all the way, and flew straight to the Land of Rice Fields, stopping in front of Wang Xiaoming on one knee.
At the moment she braked, Yugito only felt that her knees were no longer her own. Her braking wasn't a gradual stop, but a sudden kneel about fifty meters away from Wang Xiaoming, sliding all the way on the ground until she reached Wang Xiaoming, her knees plowing a furrow in the ground!
But she didn't care about her knees anymore. She was looking at the man in front of her, filled with fear.
Her body was unmovable, she had no idea what was going on, but she just couldn't move. Apart from the area above her neck, the rest of her body was as if it had solidified.
Even if she didn't have a brain, she understood that it was the person in front of her who had made her fly all the way from the Hidden Cloud Village. She had no idea what kind of technique this was, it was too strange!
“Yugito?”
Wang Xiaoming looked at the woman with light yellow hair in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
“Who are you? Do you know what you are doing!”
Yugito tried to intimidate Wang Xiaoming with her identity. She was a Jinchuriki, and also the Jinchuriki of the martial-spirited Hidden Cloud Village. Although the Land of Fire was superficially the strongest in this world, the one you absolutely couldn't provoke was the Hidden Cloud Village. Martial spirit wasn't just talk, the Raikage were all reckless men generation after generation, and they would just fight if they couldn't decide what to do. Even the Third Hokage had a headache when he saw them.
Did this person dare to provoke someone from the Hidden Cloud Village? Was he not afraid of being hunted down by the entire ninja world?
“Of course I know what I'm doing. I'm just recovering the power of the earth.”
As Wang Xiaoming spoke, he put away Est and punched Yugito directly in the abdomen. Using the God-Slaying Vibration Technique that could tear apart all barriers from the Strike the Blood world, he directly broke the seal on Yugito's body. Bluish-purple chakra instantly erupted from Yugito's body, completely enveloping her. The Two-Tails appeared!
The giant blue cat, with two tails, was constantly burning as if it was on fire. The Two-Tails, Matatabi, had completely appeared!
The giant tailed beast appeared on the ground. It was clearly a chakra aggregate, but it had a huge weight, and its limbs directly stepped out of the depressions on the ground.
“Meow!!!”
The Two-Tails immediately meowed once it came out, then lowered its head and growled at Wang Xiaoming, its face full of vigilance.
“The Two-Tails has been released.”
Yakushi Kabuto squatted down slightly, seemingly ready to fight at any time. He didn't want to fight a tailed beast, but in this situation, he was afraid he would have to fight later.
“Don't worry, Kabuto. Since Lord Xiaoming was able to summon the Two-Tails, he will definitely be able to control it.”
Orochimaru wasn't worried. He trusted Wang Xiaoming very much. He could casually throw out the concept of eternal life, so the tailed beast was definitely not a problem, especially since this tailed beast was released by Wang Xiaoming himself. Since he could release it, he could definitely solve it.
And Orochimaru's expectations were completely correct. After the Two-Tails appeared, Wang Xiaoming didn't say a word, he just reached into his space pocket, took out a Master Ball, and threw it at the Two-Tails.
During his month in Konoha, Wang Xiaoming not only researched the bloodline powers of the three major clans, but also did a lot of research. Chakra was, in essence, a type of energy. Wang Xiaoming didn't have the idea of sealing the tailed beasts inside his body, so he needed something to temporarily store the tailed beasts, something to absorb energy. For the current Wang Xiaoming, it was too easy to make.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming directly created ten Poké Balls. As for why he made them look like Poké Balls, it was also a kind of childhood memory. Wang Xiaoming even specifically designated them to only absorb the chakra of the tailed beasts.
The first Poké Ball was used to absorb Shukaku, the One-Tail, and the second was naturally Matatabi, the Two-Tails.
The Master Ball that was thrown out exploded directly, then automatically aimed at Matatabi and began to absorb it frantically. Blue chakra was continuously absorbed into the Master Ball, and Matatabi looked at the Master Ball with a dumbfounded expression, wanting to escape but unable to escape at all. The powerful suction force made it unable to resist at all. In less than ten seconds, the giant Two-Tails was completely absorbed, leaving behind Yugito, who was a Jinchuriki.
Because of the disappearance of the Two-Tails, Yugito fell from the sky and landed directly on the ground, quickly losing her breath. As a Jinchuriki, once the tailed beast was extracted, she would die quickly. Wang Xiaoming didn't know what kind of strange setting this was. They were just sealed inside you, but when they left, they would take away your vitality. But that was the rule of this world.
As for Yugito's death, Wang Xiaoming had no fluctuations at all, just like when he faced Gaara of the Sand before.
Among the Jinchuriki, there were indeed some good guys, or rather, some innocent guys, but it definitely wasn't the two of them. Gaara killed many people, and the Hidden Cloud Village would fight and kill people without saying a word. Their deaths were not a pity.
Putting the Master Ball back into his hand, Wang Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction, threw it into his space pocket, and then let Est appear again, preparing to summon the next one.
As for the Three-Tails, it should be free now, so there was no Jinchuriki. Considering that the Three-Tails didn't have the ability to put its hands together, Wang Xiaoming was afraid that if he used [100% Sure Catch] on it, Est would directly crit it to death with a sword, so he wouldn't summon the Three-Tails next.
Then...
“Roshi!”
