"The sunset is so red!"
"Mountain City Green Leaf!"
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's reanimated bodies making their move, their identities could no longer be concealed, and they were all recognized by the Konoha ninja. If they could accept it before, seeing Kurenai Yuhi made it truly difficult for them to understand.
Those were ninjas who died on the night of the Nine-Tails, ninjas who fought against the tailed beasts to protect Konoha. Can't such people rest in peace even after death? Thinking of this, the morale of the Konoha ninjas dropped a few more points, and no one took the initiative to charge. Instead, they all started to use ninjutsu to attack.
The battle became intense, with Konoha, Konan, and Pain locked in a fierce and lively struggle.
Pain and Konan fought against the First and Second Hokage, while Pain's Asura Path used ranged attacks to block Hayama and occasionally launched a round of attacks covering Konoha's positions.
Kurenai Yuhi's genjutsu had no effect on the Akatsuki, and she finally drew her ninja sword and used taijutsu to attack. Aoba Yamashiro's reanimated form was practically useless in this battle, unable even to get close to the enemy.
The animal and hungry ghost realms could not escape the pursuit of the explosive talismans. In the end, they made up their minds to cut off the entire piece of the place where the explosive talismans were attached and then went into the mouth of Yama to be repaired.
Meanwhile, the Konoha ninja, coordinating with the newly arrived sealing forces, battled the rampaging giant summoning beast, hoping to seize the opportunity to complete the seal. For a time, the situation managed to hold out, with Konoha even showing signs of a counterattack thanks to the immortality advantage of the Edo Tensei. However, after witnessing Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods, the overall atmosphere on the scene became extremely strange.
"Hmm, an interesting attack method."
On the Hokage Rock, Hyuga Kaze watched the chaotic battlefield with a smile. Of course, he wasn't happy to see Konoha damaged; if it really came down to Konoha, he could have easily dealt with them in no time.
Although Hyuga Kaze appears to be watching a show, he is actually watching intently with gleaming eyes, even using his Mind Mirror Technique and Tenseigan. At the same time, Hyuga Kaze's Eight Trigrams Domain has already resonated with the universe, completely enveloping the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
In Hyuga Kaze's eyes, Pain and Konan's bodies were as transparent as if they were invisible; he could see every single one of their attacks with perfect clarity. He had a complete grasp of everything, from the attributes and quantities of their chakra to the location and order of their flow through the meridians.
Unfortunately, even though he could perfectly replicate all of Nagato's chakra manipulation techniques, he could never truly replicate Nagato's ability to analyze chakra. Even if he could now unleash the same attack as Nagato, it was only a simulation using Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams True Essence; the true essence of the techniques was vastly different.
Because the most important chakra transformations in Nagato's body are completed in his eyes, and the Rinnegan, which is on the same level as the Tenseigan, is the only thing that Hyuga Kaze cannot see through and analyze.
"The chakra system still holds many mysteries!"
Hinata Kaze watched Nagato and the others' battle with a sense of dejection and couldn't help but sigh. He still couldn't accomplish his main purpose for coming to Konoha today.
Having reached his current level of strength, there are not many secrets left in the ninja world for him, but there are still many mysteries about chakra, an external power system, that Hyuga Kaze wants to uncover.
Despite Hinata Kaze's seemingly oblivious indulgence in flower arranging and other arts, he has never slacked off in his study and improvement of Baguazhang.
Hinata Kaze has always had one concern about his training: his strength is improving far too quickly. Although he has excellent conditions provided by the system, various materials he has painstakingly collected for reference, basic training knowledge within Baguazhang, and countless advanced martial arts techniques, the rapid pace of improvement still makes Hinata Kaze somewhat uneasy.
What he seeks is immortality and eternal life; the speed of his strength improvement is secondary. The most crucial thing is to have a solid foundation without any hidden dangers.
Of course, this concern gradually diminished as Hyuga Kaze's cultivation deepened and he gained more self-reflection. Hyuga Kaze assessed his current cultivation as having a strong sense of using the illusory to cultivate the true.
Although his body has now been completely transformed into true essence, his foundation is chakra. As a power exclusive to the Otsutsuki clan, capable of traversing the cosmos, existing eternally, and possessing and reincarnating, chakra is far more powerful than the weak power displayed by ordinary ninjas in the ninja world.
Judging from Hyuga Kaze's final transformation of his chakra into true essence and his insights into Kaguya Otsutsuki through the power of the blessed land, chakra itself is an extremely high-level energy. Its complete form is at least at the power level of the seventh level of the Eight Trigrams Palm, which should not be something that ordinary people in the ninja world can possess.
The reason why chakra can be generated in the human body in the ninja world is because the Sage of Six Paths scattered chakra seeds, but their foundation actually belongs to the Otsutsuki clan, or even to Kaguya Uchiha.
Hyuga Kaze's use of borrowed chakra to practice the Eight Trigrams Palm is equivalent to possessing a high-level energy within his body beforehand, albeit in small quantities, with the Otsutsuki clan's mark at its core. Even though this mark no longer possesses a core will, it still has a backdoor and a certain degree of mechanized intelligence, but it is generally not activated.
Then, with his high-level Eight Trigrams Palm technique, the cultivation was accelerated by high-level energy. After a while, Hyuga Kaze completely refined the chakra seed, converting the chakra into true essence. However, his deep foundation had already been established. In addition, with the various skills and physical buffs rewarded by the system, and the unrestricted absorption of the natural energy of the ninja world, his cultivation speed was naturally fast.
To draw an analogy, imagine a senior master in a martial arts world erases their own will and bestows their innate true essence upon you, making you tame it from a young age. Then, you cultivate using this true essence as the core, absorbing rare and precious materials every day, so naturally your cultivation speed will be fast.
Now, Hyuga Kaze has enough confidence to face the future fluctuations in the ninja world. At present, he wants to thoroughly analyze the power foundation of the Otsutsuki clan and absorb the beneficial parts into his own power system.
He hadn't forgotten that his journey was to all the heavens and myriad realms, and that the Bagua Palm, in its later stages, emphasized the Bagua's interpretation of heaven and earth, with heaven and earth returning to the Bagua. Although one could cultivate by following the steps without self-comprehension, Hyuga Kaze wanted to delve deeper into his thoughts and gain a more refined grasp of his power.
Only in this way can he have enough confidence to venture into all the heavens and myriad worlds, pursue the eternal and unique realm of all the heavens and myriad worlds, and make his power applicable no matter which world he goes to.
"Hmm, Danzo's trump card, huh? Interesting!"
Coming to his senses, Hinata Kaze's attention returned to the battlefield.
Just as Hyuga Kaze was lost in thought about his training path, Shimura Danzo, after delaying for a while, still led the Root ninjas and his prepared trump cards to surround Pain and his group from behind, preparing to annihilate these enemies in one fell swoop.
