Chapter 51 Main Mission 2: Possibilities of Ordinary People

Is there a connection between Uchiha and Wood Release?

Senju Tobirama didn't know how long he had been dead, and his first reaction was that Uchiha was going to use Wood Release.

"Hahahaha..." Unlike the suspicious and cautious Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama suddenly laughed heartily. He asked Shingon, "What do you want Wood Release for?"

"I just think Wood Release is very useful." Shingon said, "It's very useful for building houses and growing crops."

This answer was somewhat beyond Senju Hashirama's expectations. After all, in his hands, Wood Release was mostly used for fighting.

Could it be that times have changed and the ninja world has finally reached peace?

The view from the roof was pretty good. Hashirama Senju looked towards the interior of Konoha Village. Compared to his time, Konoha was indeed much more prosperous, but in his perception, the village did not seem peaceful!

Senju Hashirama retracted his gaze and looked at the Third Hokage in front of him.

Senju Tobirama obviously also realized the situation in front of him. He asked the Third Hokage: "Monkey, what's going on?"

"Second generation sir..."

The Third Hokage tried to explain the situation, but was interrupted by Orochimaru, who buried a kunai with runes on it into the back of the heads of the First and Second Hokage, eliminating their self-consciousness.

"Teacher Sarutobi, now is not the time to reminisce." Orochimaru said.

"Orochimaru." The Third Hokage had a murderous look on his face. He knew that at this point, it was too late to reverse the situation.

The unconscious First and Second Hokage began to attack the Third Hokage, but the Third Hokage bit his finger and summoned a Monkey King.

The Third Hokage asked the Monkey King to help resist the attacks of the First and Second Hokage, while he looked for an opportunity to attack Orochimaru...

Shingen didn't expect that the two sides would start fighting over a disagreement, and he hasn't even got the authorization for Wood Release yet.

Looking at the four people and a monkey fighting in a ball, Shingon wanted to stop them. However, before he could open his mouth, Orochimaru inside suddenly took advantage of an attack from the Third Hokage and retreated to his side.

Orochimaru looked at Shingon through the four purple flames. He curled his lips and said with a smile, "Interesting."

Shinyan returned the smile and said, "Uncle Snake Pill."

The Third Hokage caught up at this time. He looked at the two of them, especially Shinon who was standing outside the Four Purple Flame Formation with a faint smile on his face but an unexpectedly calm gaze.

"Master Sandaime." Shingon turned to the Third Hokage and asked, "Do you need my help?"

The Third Hokage was stunned, and he suddenly remembered the conversation between Shingon and the First and Second Hokage - asking for authorization to use Wood Release.

At this moment, the Third Hokage did not have time to think deeply about the purpose of Manabu seeking authorization from the First Hokage. In this brief moment of staring at each other, he suddenly had an illusion that asking Manabu to help would solve the current predicament, but...

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru again, looking at this disciple who had once made him so proud...

"Good boy, go help evacuate the villagers." The Third Hokage finally said to Shingon, "My disciple made a mistake, and I, as your teacher, have no choice but to take responsibility."

It was his carelessness that led Orochimaru astray, and it was also because he was soft-hearted and let him go after noticing Orochimaru's behavior, which led to the result today. He has an unshirkable responsibility, so if it is to be ended, it has to be done by him as the teacher himself.

Today's battle is the final battle between him and Orochimaru.

Shingon stared at the Third Hokage. He saw the determination to never look back in his steady figure, and also saw the blazing fighting spirit on his old face that was as raging as a raging fire.

"I understand." Zhenyan said, "Then I'll leave this place to you."

Zhenyan turned and left, without looking at the fight behind him.

The ones who took action this time were Orochimaru and the ninjas from Sound Village who sneaked in under the pretext of taking the Chunin Exams. It seemed like a big force, but there was no chaos in the village. There were only three main battlefields, one was the rooftop where Orochimaru fought with the Third Hokage, and one was the venue for the previous ring match.

The stadium was cast into an illusion, and most of the spectators fell into a deep sleep. The Otogakure ninjas who sneaked in did not attack the sleeping spectators, but only entangled with the awake ninjas. It seemed as if Orochimaru had done this on purpose.

As for the purpose, Orochimaru probably didn't want anyone to disturb the fight between him and his teacher, so he asked his men to entangle those Konoha ninjas who might get in the way.

Shingon had guessed something vaguely, so he followed the Third Hokage's instructions and did not interfere in the battle between master and disciple.

As for the third battlefield, outside the village, Orochimaru's men summoned two giant snakes outside the village, and the two giant snakes were preparing to attack the outer wall of Konoha Village.

Since there was no major chaos in the village, the villagers naturally did not need to evacuate. Shingon went to the third battlefield, which was also the direction where Naruto and Gaara left.

After arriving, Shingon stood on the outer wall of Konoha Village. There were already ninjas fighting there. He observed the situation and said to the ninjas who were fighting the snake, "Everyone, move aside."

A ninja took the time to look at Zhenyan, and after noticing that he was not wearing a ninja helmet, he said, "This is not the place for you, don't interfere with our fight."

"I'm here to help," Zhenyan explained. "If you don't move away, I'm afraid I might hurt you by mistake."

"you……"

The ninja who was speaking was caught off guard and was hit by the snake's tail. He flew backwards. A gap appeared in front of the snake at this time. The huge snake head spit out scarlet tongue and rushed directly towards the wall of Konoha Village.

Shinyan was still standing on the wall. Seeing the big snake rushing over, he did not dodge, but directly covered his fist with chakra, and then punched out...

With a loud bang, the big snake disappeared instantly.

The ninja who was fighting another giant snake nearby heard the noise and looked over. He saw Shingon retract his hand, rub his arm and say, "I think I used too much force..."

Everyone: “…………”

Shingon flexed his arms, turned to the other snake, and said to the ninja over there, "Hey, you guys should make way too."

This time no one objected. After hearing the truth, everyone moved away from the snake.

Zhenyan punched out again like a beast, and soon there was another bang.

With one punch each, Zhenyan sent both big snakes back to their hometown, Longdi Cave.

The big snake was gone, and the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence. After a while, a slight "gulp" sound was heard, and someone swallowed and asked, "Is this the new jonin in the village? Why haven't I seen him before?"

Someone recognized Zhenyan and said, "Isn't this the owner of the Uchiha Milk Tea Shop?"

“Is the owner of the milk tea shop actually a ninja?”

"I heard that the owner of the milk tea shop didn't have any talent for cultivation, so he just sold milk tea?"

Hearing everyone's comments, Zhenyan explained: "I really don't have any talent. I just put the chakra on my fist and then punched it out."

Everyone: “…………”

Zhenyan's expression and tone were so sincere that everyone present began to doubt life for a moment. Is this what life is like without talent?

Just as everyone's three views were swaying in the wind, a roar suddenly came from the woods outside the village: "Stupid fox, come out and fight me if you have the guts!"

Everyone looked over and stood there in shock...

"It's the Tailed Beast!"

"How could a creature from the Sand Village appear here?!"

"Is Sunagakure going to attack Konoha as well?"

The ninjas present suddenly became confused, but before they could come up with a solution, a burst of orange chakra burst out from the forest...

This familiar pressure instantly reminded some Konoha ninjas of the Nine-Tails incident.

"Oh no, it's the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"The Nine-Tailed Fox is coming out!"

"Quickly notify the Hokage!"

Compared to the One-Tail, the people of Konoha were obviously more afraid of the Nine-Tail. Some people had already left to inform the Hokage, and the remaining ninjas were also facing a formidable enemy. However, after waiting for a long time, the big orange fox did not show up...

Jiu Lama: “…………”

Jiu Lama was a little embarrassed. His mortal enemy had come to attack him, but he was stuck in the sealed door...

Minato Namikaze sealed it himself, so he naturally wouldn't let the tailed beast threaten his son's life. Of course, in order to allow his son to cheat, a gap was left in the seal, but this gap was too small compared to the giant fox, and it was almost impossible to squeeze out. Kurama could only let his chakra seep out little by little.

At the current rate, Kurama will probably have to wait until tomorrow to penetrate enough chakra to allow Naruto to enter Tailed Beast Mode...

The fat cat on the opposite side has already come out, and Mingren is still reading the message at home. He also noticed something unusual.

Before, Naruto chased Gaara away, and Sasuke followed him. Sasuke helped him stop Temari and Kankuro, so Naruto and Gaara had already had a sparring match, but before the two of them could decide the winner, Shukaku in Gaara's body couldn't wait to settle the score with Kurama.

After all, Jiu Lama once said that even if he gave up his eight tails, Shouhe would not be able to defeat him. This statement was passed on to Shouhe intactly. Shouhe naturally could not tolerate it, so as soon as he saw Jiu Lama, Shouhe could not wait to come out and compete with Jiu Lama.

However, after Shouhe had been teasing for a long time, the big fox did not come out, so he could not help but laugh and said, "Stupid fox, can you do it?"

Naruto entered the sealed space and found that Kurama was blocked by the sealed gate.

Naruto stood outside the sealed gate and stared at Kurama inside. Neither the man nor the fox spoke. After getting along with each other for so many years, even if they were not friends yet, they were definitely not enemies. Now facing a common opponent, the man and the fox had a rare feeling of mutual understanding.

Naruto walked to the sealed door. When Jiraiya came back, he handed him the key to the Eight Trigrams Seal. Now he only needed to raise his hand and peel off the sealing talisman on the door to open the seal.

Naruto looked up at the gate, raised his hand, and without any hesitation, took off the talisman with the word "seal" written on it.

...

On the other side, in the desert outside the Hidden Mist Village, Shingon was bored waiting, so he started to browse the comic forum. When he saw the latest comic update, he immediately clicked on it.

The latest comic, as expected, is about the Chunin Exams tournament. As the main character, Shingon watched two matches on the forum: Sasuke vs. Ningji, and Shikamaru vs. Temari. The third match was skipped by the comic author because Kankuro admitted defeat.

Shingon couldn't wait to click on the next page, wanting to see Naruto and Kurama fight Gaara and Shukaku. However, on the next page, before Gaara even got on the ring, he was carried away by Temari and Kankuro. At the same time, chaos broke out on the field.

First, someone cast an illusion, and then the ninjas from Konoha Village and Sound Village started a melee. At the same time, Naruto chased Gaara out, and Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, held the Third Hokage hostage.

Zhenyan had not expected such a chaotic situation, and what he had not expected even more was that the shadow appeared again...

Just before Orochimaru fought the Third Hokage, in one of the comics, Orochimaru looked at the corner of the roof and said to a black shadow there: [Interesting.]

The comic then turns to the battlefield between Naruto and Kurama and Gaara and Shukaku. Before the fight between Gaara and Naruto is decided, Shukaku can't wait to come out.

However, there was a problem on Kurama's side, and the scene cut into the sealed space, where Naruto removed the seal on the gate.

The comic author inserted several flashbacks here, showing different periods of Naruto's life, and most of the locations are in the Ninja School.

[Xiaojiu is not a demon fox!]

[A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. I am talking to you about reason.]

[I think you are still a bird demon, a bald bird demon whose feathers have been plucked!]

[You can say Xiaojiu, why can't I say you?]

[A sharp-beaked bald bird monster!]

[Hit me if you want, I’m not afraid of you!]

Most of the scenes start with reasoning and end with fighting. Naruto usually has the upper hand. Occasionally, when he is injured by his opponent, orange chakra will appear and Naruto's wounds will heal quickly.

In the flashback, Naruto grows bigger and bigger, until finally, Naruto's back overlaps with him opening the sealed door in the sealed space at this time.

Mingren and Jiulama faced each other for the first time without any obstacles.

[Hey, Xiaojiu, we will win, right?] Naruto looked up and asked the big fox. The battle between him and Gaara has not yet been decided.

[Humph, of course!] Kurama replied, his chakra boiling with fighting spirit.

The scene changed, and outside the sealed space, Naruto had completely transformed into a tailed beast and entered the Nine-Tails mode.

A huge golden fox and a fat sandy-colored vampire cat face each other.

[Stinky vampire!] The big vampire started the conversation first.

[Stupid fox!] Fat fox cat was not to be outdone.

The two tailed beasts have entered into a battle state, but before the official fight, the two tailed beasts recalled a scene at the same time.

The comic of memories is divided into two frames, the left one is Kurama's sealing space, and the right one is Shukaku's sealing space. The tall figures of the two tailed beasts are facing the screen, and in front of the two tailed beasts there is a back that cannot be ignored.

The back figure was shrouded in shadows, but one could see that it was a young boy with long hair.

The comment section below the comic instantly became lively because of the two appearances of the black shadow.

[Shit, so this chaos is all the work of the shadow?]

[After reading the latest comic, I was totally shocked!]

[What is the identity of the black shadow?]

[He can see the tailed beast and is in league with Orochimaru. I guess he must be the ultimate villain]

[Isn't it possible that the Tailed Beast is controlled by the shadow?]

[I think it’s very possible that the black shadow’s target might be the protagonist!]

[I don't believe that Mingren and Xiaojiu have such a good relationship]

[Xiao Jiu might be Black Shadow's undercover agent, waiting to betray the protagonist at the critical moment]

[So who is this shadow?]

[Blind guess: someone from Konoha]

[The black shadow also saw a person from the Sand Village, so he might be from the Sand Village]

[I looked back at the previous times the shadow appeared, and it seems that this shadow is not wearing a ninja forehead]

[Isn't the black shadow a ninja?]

[Impossible, the black shadow must be a ninja]

[Ninja +1]

[Ninja+2]

…

[I guess he is not only a ninja, but also a very powerful jonin]

[The black shadow was just an ordinary villager passing by.] The speculation in the comments section was too outrageous, and Zhenyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he came out to explain under his visitor account.

[Ordinary villagers???]

[I seriously suspect that the person above has never read the comics]

[I suspect the above person has never read the comics]

[If you haven't read the manga, please don't comment.]

[I have already read the comics. Don’t you really think that the shadow just happened to pass by?] Zhenyan spoke again.

[How can an ordinary villager pass by a tailed beast? This doesn't make sense!] Someone came out to question.

[Is it possible that the enthusiastic villagers saw the tail beast about to fight, so they kindly advised it to take care of the house and not to damage it recklessly?] I speak the truth and do not lie. I explain every comment seriously.

[Even the dreams of the person upstairs are not as outrageous as yours!]

[Everything is possible. I swear on my conscience that Black Shadow is definitely not a villain.] Zhenyan replied that it was the comic book author's angle that was wrong.

[If everything is possible, then I can only say that the probability of the shadow being an ordinary villager is the same as the probability of the layer master entering the comic and becoming a shadow]

[You are absolutely right!] Zhenyan gave a thumbs up to the person above him.

After seeing Zhenyan’s latest comments, the comic readers thought that Zhenyan was convinced and turned to discuss other plots.

And Shingo also withdrew from the comics forum because he received the memories transmitted by the shadow clone.

Before leaving, Shingon left behind two shadow clones, one of which pretended to be the original body for cover, and the other was to pass on the news. At this time, the shadow clone's memory came, which meant that Konoha was over.

In fact, when Shingo saw the comic update, he had roughly guessed it, and the shadow clone's memory was transmitted a little later because it helped to do some finishing work in the village.

Now that Konoha is over, it's time for him to go back.

Shingon looked at the two people who had accompanied him to enjoy the scenery of Sand Village for a day, and said, "Thank you very much for your company. See you later!"

Noticing that Shingon was about to leave, Minato Namikaze seized the opportunity to ask, "What exactly is your purpose?"

"Is it about controlling all the ninja villages?" Jiraiya asked immediately.

The suspicions of the two people are very similar to the suspicions of Black Shadow in the forum, but he is indeed not a villain. As the saying goes, every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country. He is just an ordinary man who happened to encounter injustice and chose to stand up.

"You can think more broadly." Zhenyan looked at the backs of the two people and clarified for himself, "Is it possible that I am just an ordinary person passing by?"

Namikaze Minato: “…”

Jiraiya: “………”!
