Chapter 81: Let's blow up Fudu to the heavens!
"It seems Ming has taken care of it."
"Now we just have to wait and see if Konoha comes knocking on our door."
Makoto Kujira sat cross-legged in a secluded seaside cave on the border of the Land of Waves, with the waves crashing against the rock walls behind him and the salty sea breeze rushing in from the cave entrance.
He had just finished reading the secret message sent by Mei Terumi through reverse psychic communication, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Once Konoha comes knocking, it will be confirmed that the fat bastard Suigetsu Hozuki is selling information and betraying his own people. At that time, it will be perfectly justifiable to deal with him.
Although Makoto Karatachi doesn't care about such things, neither does Kirigakure, who is above the level of the strong.
But sometimes, having it makes all the difference in getting things done.
Besides Mei Terumi's reply, there was also a letter from the Third Mizukage.
The scroll highly praised the achievements of the Mist Blade Squad, especially commending Makoto Karatachi for everything he had done. At the same time, it repeatedly emphasized that self-preservation was the top priority, granting him the highest discretionary power to abandon the mission and return directly to Mist Village if necessary.
At the same time, the Third Mizukage also inquired about the Grell Stone, asking if there were any leftovers, and if it would be best to keep some so that the village could study and develop it.
"I have no Grell's Stone whatsoever."
The reason Makoto Goji was bringing this up was to cover up the fact that he had copied the Rinnegan.
Nagato is, after all, Madara's precious treasure and the absolute core of the future Eye of the Moon plan. If he knew that Madara had discovered Nagato's existence and even copied the power of the Rinnegan, he would definitely react.
Of course, Madara might already know about his copying of the Rinnegan, after all, the White Zetsu he created are incredibly ubiquitous, scattering spores all over the world, making them a veritable net of the ninja world.
But even knowing this, I still have to give it my due.
It's a completely different matter for one or two people to know than for the entire ninja world to have their attention focused on them.
Gouju Cheng gave a soft hum and put away the scroll.
According to the plan, Fuguki should have already passed on the carefully prepared intelligence to Danzo.
Given Danzo's suspicious and ruthless nature, as well as his greed for the Hand of God, he will definitely bring people to verify the hunt.
All Gouju Cheng has to do is wait for the fish to take the bait.
With a combination of strategic maneuvering, home-field advantage, and information asymmetry—
Gouju's eyes gleamed.
Danzo, this time I'll make sure you suffer a lot, or I'll write my name backwards!
Without further hesitation, he immediately began setting up the battlefield, burying a large number of specially made explosive tags and trigger traps inside the cave.
Putting everything else aside, my brother Cheng may not have much else on him, but he has enough explosive tags to crush people to death!
By the time everything was arranged, it was already close to dusk.
Gouju Cheng didn't waste any time and formed a hand seal.
"Bang!"
With a puff of white smoke, a figure exactly like Makoto Kuraki appeared beside him.
It is the Shadow Clone Technique!
"I'm leaving everything here to you. Is everything alright?"
"You jerk, you try to show off, but I'll make a fool of myself!"
As the white smoke dissipated, a shadow clone identical to Makoto Kari appeared in the cave.
As soon as it appeared, its face fell, and it looked at the main body with a displeased expression.
Gouju Cheng chuckled and patted his clone on the shoulder: "We're practically family, so you can handle the ignition and detonation, okay? I'll let you be a bomb maniac and blow Guoying to bits!"
"That's more like it."
The clone nodded in satisfaction.
Anyone who has played with firecrackers knows that playing with firecrackers and watching them are two completely different things.
The clone remained in the prepared cave, pretending to have damaged chakra meridians and be recuperating.
Meanwhile, Makoto Gojibana's true form silently left the seaside cave and, like a ghost, stealthily moved to a towering cliff about 500 meters away from the cave.
The view here is excellent, overlooking both the cave entrance and the sea, while also providing excellent concealment through the complex terrain and dense vegetation.
He found a natural rock crevice to hide in, concealing all his chakra and aura. While recovering his chakra, he looked like a lifeless stone, patiently waiting for his prey to arrive.
Time passed second by second.
The sea breeze howls, waves crash against the shore, and the cries of seagulls in the distance intertwine with the rustling of insects nearby, creating a seemingly tranquil coastal sunset scene.
But Makoto Goji's senses covered the surroundings, not missing a single abnormality.
As darkness fell, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea a magnificent orange-red.
Just as the last ray of light was about to disappear.
Gouju Cheng's eyes narrowed.
coming!
Several figures stealthily approached along the coastline from the direction of the Land of Fire.
They were extremely fast and their presence was well concealed; there were five of them in total.
"They really came. They're quick."
"
Gouju sneered inwardly. Judging from the situation, Mei Terumi must have just handed the information to Fuguki, and that fatso sold it to Danzo!
Damn it!
The five men did not rush straight to the cave, but stopped in a cluster of rocks about a mile away from the cave, where they dispersed and hid, seemingly to observe and confirm the location.
After about fifteen minutes, and confirming that there were no obvious traps or ambushes around, one of them formed hand seals, seemingly performing some kind of reconnaissance ninjutsu.
After a moment, he nodded to the leader, pointed in the direction of the cave, and made a few gestures.
Clearly, they confirmed that there was indeed someone inside the cave, and the chakra fluctuations were weak and disordered, consistent with the characteristics of an injury.
A cold glint flashed in the leader's eyes, and he made a hand gesture.
The five people, like unsheathed blades, silently dispersed, forming a loose encirclement formation, and slowly approached the cave. Two of them guarded the outer perimeter of the cave, while the other three went inside.
Their movements were professional and their coordination was skillful, clearly indicating that they were well-trained.
"Quite cautious—"
The jujube tree, hidden on the cliff face, has a panoramic view of everything.
The Root ninjas are indeed different; they are cautious and meticulous in their actions, and everything they do is done perfectly. They are definitely the elite among elites.
However, Makoto Karimoto's trap was set up with great ingenuity.
He buried most of the explosive tags deep inside the cave and under his clone's buttocks, rather than directly on the surface or the cave wall.
Unless the other party has the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan or special detection methods, it is difficult to detect them in a short time!
Three Root ninjas infiltrated like ghosts.
Their movements were so light that even the sound of their footsteps on the gravel was almost imperceptible, and their eyes, hidden behind their masks, gleamed with vigilance in the dim light.
After determining the approximate location of Gouju Cheng, the leader gave a hand signal, and the three of them decisively took action!
The opponent had copied the Sharingan, and to avoid being controlled by the genjutsu, they naturally wouldn't look into Makoto's eyes, but instead chose to go all in.
This style of play!
The three of them simultaneously formed hand seals, one using Wind Release, one Fire Release, and one Lightning Release, aiming them at Makoto Karatachi.
The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind fueled the fire's flames. The raging thunder dragon, aided by the fire and wind tornadoes, swept through the entire cave in an instant!
Faced with such a terrifying and unavoidable combo, the clone frowned deeply.
"Damn it, you want to steal my right to start a fire, huh?!"
"I'll blow your Fudu to the heavens!"
"drink!"
The three Root ninjas had already sensed something was wrong. How could their opponents remain so calm in the face of such an attack?
The combined ninjutsu was so powerful that it completely blocked Makoto Karatachi's figure. At the moment the combined ninjutsu exploded, the ground beneath the clone and the entire depths of the cave seemed to be simultaneously bombarded with hundreds or thousands of explosive tags!
No, not just seemingly!
It means hundreds or even thousands of explosive tags being detonated simultaneously!
A deafening explosion instantly engulfed everything!
Blinding flames erupted from the cave entrance like a volcanic eruption, and scorching heat waves, carrying with them rubble and soil, swept across the area with overwhelming force.
The massive shockwave instantly expanded the cave entrance to more than three times its original size, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky.
The three Root ninjas who rushed into the cave didn't even have time to scream before they were completely engulfed and vaporized in the devastating explosion. The two Root ninjas who were guarding not far outside the cave reacted very quickly, sensing something was wrong the instant before the explosion and retreating desperately. However, they were still hit by the terrifying shockwave and flying debris, tumbling dozens of meters before barely managing to regain their footing.
They were wounded in many places, their masks were shattered, and blood was flowing from their mouths and noses. They stared in horror at the cave that had been completely turned into a sea of fire and ruins.
"You bastard!"
"It's a trap! A complete and utter trap!"
A chill and anger welled up in both of them.
That pufferfish demon in the ditch actually sold fake information.
Goji Makoto wasn't injured at all; this was a trap designed to lure them in!
The flames from the explosion had not completely dissipated, and thick smoke was still billowing.
Suddenly, a blurry figure, like a ghost, stepped out of the billowing smoke!
It's a clone!
The clones released by Makoto Kariju were not ordinary clone techniques, but shadow clone techniques.
Unlike the usual clone technique used for illusion, the Shadow Clone Technique fully inherits the user's abilities. Even with various flaws, such as disappearing when subjected to fatal damage, it also transmits the pain and memories of the injury back to the original body.
But this cannot obscure the power of this technique.
The reason is simple: shadow clones can use God's Hand!
Under the effect of etherealization, any damage is as fleeting as smoke to the clone!
"Impossible—how could he possibly have such an explosion—"
"Something's not right, who exactly is this guy—"
The two Root ninjas who survived outside the cave were still in shock. They were even more horrified to see that Makoto Karatachi had walked out of that level of explosion unharmed.
"The intelligence is seriously flawed! Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
Without hesitation, the other Root ninja endured the pain and prepared to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape.
Their five-man squad lost three members in just a few seconds, without even reaching their target. This wasn't just a matter of mission failure; they'd been completely outmaneuvered!
We must bring back intelligence that reassesses Makoto Kuraki's strength and the danger posed by his tactics!
"You want to leave now?"
The clone sneered, "Too late!"
"Kamui!"
The distorted space suddenly appeared on the fleeing Root ninja.
The surviving Root ninja watched helplessly as half of his companion's body was swallowed up by the bizarre, distorted space. His scream was cut short before the remaining half of his body crashed to the ground.
This completely incomprehensible and undefendable attack shattered his last will to resist.
This is not a battle, this is a massacre!
The target's capabilities far exceeded expectations; the intelligence was wildly wrong!
"Escape! We must bring the intelligence back!"
His intense will to survive unleashed his last strength as he frantically stimulated his body with chakra, then turned and fled madly toward the distant dense forest.
The clone watched the fleeing figure in a panic, a cold smile curving its lips.
Want to run?
Eat me again and I'll unleash my divine power!
The triangular windmill spun, releasing divine power once more, and the distorted space fell directly on that person!
"Kneel before my invincible Kamui—Holy crap, you damn thing, give me some more chakra!"
The attempt to show off with the clone failed, and with a bang, it turned into white smoke and disappeared from the spot.
The divine power that had only formed halfway through merely devoured one of the guy's arms before dissipating.
The Root ninja, who had escaped death, endured the pain of losing his arm and ran as fast as he could.
But after taking only two steps, the space in front of him distorted again.
"————Dude, who the hell is as extravagant as you? I only have one card, do you think I'm some kind of charioteer, using Kamui as a basic attack?"
His true form, Makoto Goji, appeared and swiftly beheaded the man.
But also in that instant.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
A cold, deep shout suddenly rang out like a thunderclap.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous fire dragon, blazing hot and solid as a physical entity, roared out from the dense forest to the side with the power to incinerate everything, rushing straight towards Makoto.
The fire dragon appeared extremely abruptly, and the timing was impeccable.
Just then, Makoto Kujira appeared and made his move, distracting him!
Master!
But I have Kawei!
Gouju Cheng's eyes sharpened, and he perfectly blurred to dodge the fire dragon, while looking up at the same time.
The next moment, a pair of blood-red eyes came into view.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
As the eye power clashed with the eye power, Makoto Kojiki's figure stiffened for a moment, but he regained his senses in the next instant. Still in his ethereal state, he cautiously looked at the guy who appeared in front of him.
Black hair, square face, Jonin vest, Uchiha clan crest!
One of Konoha's top combatants on the Hidden Mist battlefield, the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the current head of the Uchiha clan, known as the Fierce Eye.
Uchiha Fugaku!
Gojiki's heart sank slightly. He hadn't waited for Danzo, but this guy had instead appeared!
"I really never imagined that there would be a bloodline existence like yours in this world, capable of replicating the bloodlines of others."
"That distorted space-time ninjutsu from before, and that technique that grants immunity to damage now—is this the Sharingan power you copied from our Uchiha clan?!"
With a steady, mountain-like figure, Fugaku Uchiha slowly emerged from the shadows of the dense forest. His three-tomoe Sharingan gleamed with a cold red light in the dim light, like a ferocious beast hunting in the night, firmly locking onto Makoto Karatachi.
Or rather, a kaleidoscope in Makoto Goji's eyes!
"Clan Chief Uchiha, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Faced with Fugaku's questioning, Makoto Karatachi wore his signature smile and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he hadn't done anything at all.
"I never expected that someone as lowly as a Mist Ninja like me would be honored by the presence of the Fiend Eyes. I am truly flattered."
"To be able to easily kill five Root elites in an instant, and even destroy the Cangnan Supply Station and the Fengming Valley Transfer Station, you are no ordinary Mist Ninja." Fugaku did not attack directly, but looked at Makoto Karatachi: "I really want to know, from which Uchiha clan member did you copy these eyes?"
As the head of the Uchiha clan and the holder of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Fugaku knew better than anyone what those eyes meant.
This is the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, but at this moment, this power has appeared in an outsider.
The power of replication —
Fugaku may not care that Makoto Karatachi possesses the kaleidoscope—that's his ability—but he does care about where Makoto Karatachi copied those eyes from.
Copying means there's an original!
This means that besides him, there is another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in this world!
"Well—"
Makoto Sho shrugged, looking completely innocent. "It's a trade secret, I can't tell you. But if Clan Chief Fugaku is interested, why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea and chat? I'm actually quite interested in your Uchiha clan too."
"No need for tea."
Fugaku Uchiha's voice was as cold as winter ice, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
"Since you won't tell me, then I'll find out for myself who stole your eyes from!"
Before he finished speaking, his hands suddenly formed a hand seal.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
As the head of the Uchiha clan and a seasoned elite Jonin, he knew that when facing an enemy with strange abilities and unknown methods, the best strategy was to suppress them with overwhelming force and not give them a chance to use their skills!
His extreme hand speed was on full display at this moment, and a terrifying fire jutsu surged out, overwhelming everything in its path as it bombarded Makoto Karatachi.
Gouju Cheng's eyes were half-closed, yet he remained unmoved amidst the raging flames.
No matter what kind of fireballs or fire dragons you have, no matter what kind of phoenix fairy fire sea you have, they are all inferior in front of Shenwei.
With divine power in hand, what does it matter if the heavens and earth collapse?
The blazing flames, like a surging tide, instantly engulfed the location where Makoto was standing. The terrifyingly high temperature melted the surrounding rocks instantly, and the seawater evaporated, forming large swaths of white steam.
But Makoto Karatachi's figure stood silently amidst the flames, like a phantom, unharmed as those ninjutsu that could burn even a Jonin to a crisp passed through his body.
The Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated in his eyes, carrying an almost indifferent calm.
"It's no use, Chief Fugaku."
Makoto Goji's voice came through the flames and explosions, clear and steady, even with a hint of teasing.
"An attack of that magnitude wouldn't even touch the hem of my clothes. Why don't we save our chakra and talk?"
Fugaku Uchiha's gaze grew increasingly cold.
He witnessed everything that had happened before: the spatial distortion and shifting, the attacks, and now the immunity to damage. Moreover, he could clearly feel the flow of pupil power in the other's eyes.
In other words, the power of your eyes is space-time ninjutsu!
Coupled with the Sharingan's powerful basic abilities, it's no wonder he could silently infiltrate Konoha's rear and destroy supply depots, and it's no wonder he could easily kill Root's elites.
Ordinary methods are simply ineffective against such an enemy.
but----
Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath and did not continue to bombard the enemy with ninjutsu.
He looked at Makoto Kujira in front of him, at those blood-red triangular windmills, and the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes suddenly accelerated its rotation. A vast power of ocular energy poured out, and the shape of the tomoe began to twist, elongate, and connect, eventually transforming into a more complex and mysterious pattern!
Kaleidoscope Sharingan!
Since the goal is to deal with the kaleidoscope, then naturally we should use the kaleidoscope to fight against it!
