Becoming the Tsuchikage in the Naruto World

Chapter 309: A Master-Disciple Situation

With three ninjas killed in an instant, this was not yet the worst situation the Cloud ninjas faced. Because their formation was now in chaos, they could no longer maintain the tight defense they had before.

No longer able to remain calm, Ayumi Tahara shouted loudly, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, does your Konoha want to start a war?"

"Alas, alright. Clan Head Hiashi, please stop," the one who spoke was not Hiruzen, but Tsunade.

And when Tsunade spoke, she deliberately paused for a moment. In that instant, the Cloud side lost two more people.

And after hearing Tsunade's words, Hiashi also deliberately feigned a moment of shock, and only then said, "Everyone, stop."

And then another Cloud ninja was slapped to death.

At this point, only four Cloud ninjas remained.

When the fighting stopped, Hiashi said, "Hand over Hinata."

Hashiryū was unwilling and looked at Ayumi.

Ayumi sighed, then slowly walked forward. Her mouth opened and closed, and finally, she uttered two words, "Do it!"

As soon as her voice fell, the other three Cloud ninjas, who were already prepared, along with Ayumi, disregarded their injuries and immediately activated some kind of forbidden jutsu.

After Ayumi activated the forbidden jutsu, her originally dark skin immediately turned blood-red. She shouted loudly, "Lightning Release: Heavy Lightning Burst!"

As soon as her voice fell, her entire person directly exploded, turning into a sky full of lightning that shot out in all directions.

At this time, the other three also showed the same symptoms. However, the three did not immediately self-destruct but took the opportunity to rush towards their nearby lodgings.

The killing effect of Ayumi's self-destruction was not great, but the paralyzing effect of the lightning was excellent. The Hyuga ninjas surrounding them, as well as some nearby Anbu, were all affected. Even Ishiro's side was somewhat impacted.

And the three, Hashiryū and the others, took this opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

Boom!

Another explosion. Another Cloud ninja chose to self-destruct like Ayumi. The power of this self-destruction was smaller, but it also caused an approaching Anbu squad to miss their chance to intercept.

Finally, Hashiryū and another Cloud ninja leaped over this intercepting Anbu squad and rushed into their residence.

Ishiro was stunned as he watched. He knew what the Cloud ninjas were trying to do. They wanted to teleport the Byakugan. As long as the Byakugan was teleported back to the Cloud Village, then they would all have died a worthy death.

"But, the thing for teleportation is gone." Ishiro sighed softly.

At this time, Tsunade, the strongest on the field, reacted the fastest. She was the first to rush into the courtyard. Unsurprisingly to everyone, the third explosion sounded as expected.

Tsunade's steps were inevitably hindered.

The faces of everyone present were ugly. Although they didn't know why the Cloud ninjas were desperately rushing towards their residence, they certainly had a plan.

A plan that they were willing to sacrifice everyone's lives for would certainly not be a small one.

But just when everyone thought the Cloud ninjas had succeeded, a crazed shout suddenly came from the room. The voice was filled with hysteria, mixed with a trace of confusion.

A few seconds later, Tsunade and the others, having recovered from their paralyzed state, rushed into the room where Hashiryū was.

Hashiryū was standing blankly in the room, staring motionlessly at the empty floor. The black cloth that had been shielding Hinata from the Byakugan had disappeared and had been thrown to the side by him.

Hiashi ignored the completely crazed Hashiryū and immediately rushed forward to pick up Hinata. Several Hyuga branch family ninjas immediately came forward and protected Hiashi in the center.

After a careful check and finding that his daughter was only knocked out by a drug and was not injured, and her Byakugan was also intact, Hiashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, was present, Hiashi did not speak but retreated to the side with his Hyuga branch family members.

He couldn't leave yet; the secret of how Hashiryū had shielded against the Byakugan had not yet been unraveled.

Since Hashiryū was still in a crazed state, Tsunade did not speak. She wanted to wait for him to calm down before taking action.

But she was destined to be disappointed. Hashiryū did not give Tsunade the chance to capture him. Although he didn't know who had taken the base for the Heavenly Transfer Technique, the fact that today's operation had failed was a reality.

In this situation, he could not live under any circumstances. Otherwise, Lord Raikage would have no opportunity to threaten Konoha.

And so, with another explosion, the Cloud ninja delegation was completely wiped out.

Ishiro did not watch the final scene; he had long anticipated the result. By taking the base for the Heavenly Transfer Technique, he had caused the failure of the Cloud delegation's operation. At this point, only with the entire delegation perishing in Konoha could the Fourth Raikage use the threat of war.

Ishiro at this time went to another place: the Hyuga clan's territory.

Originally, Ishiro had thought that Orochimaru's operation would end quickly, but who would have thought that he had run into trouble.

Orochimaru had indeed obtained the data on the Caged Bird Seal, but when he came out of the Hyuga clan's secret room, he was blocked by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen and Tsunade, who had anticipated that something might happen, had been on high alert recently. As soon as there was movement on the Hyuga clan's side, the two of them had rushed over.

When Orochimaru took advantage of the Hyuga clan's attention being drawn away by the Cloud delegation and successfully entered the Hyuga's secret room, he had also successfully drawn out Hiruzen, who had already steeled his resolve.

Ishiro had been attracted by the aura that erupted when the two confronted each other. The excitement over here was much greater than on the Cloud's side.

Perhaps Hiruzen had given orders beforehand. Although there were Anbu near the Hyuga clan territory now, none of them had approached.

Ishiro was also disguised as an Anbu, so he learned from the others and only watched from a distance.

"Hurry up and fight, hurry up and fight," Ishiro chanted in his heart. For some reason, Ishiro could always greet Konoha's misfortune with an unparalleled sense of joy.

After a long while, after the situation with the Cloud delegation had completely calmed down, Hiruzen spoke, "Orochimaru, stop now."

Orochimaru licked his lips exaggeratedly with his unusual tongue and said with a smile, "Teacher Sarutobi, you are still the same. You will never understand. You don't understand the true meaning of a ninja. You don't understand the true meaning of chakra."

Hiruzen was not fooled by Orochimaru's deliberate mystification. He said bluntly, "To be spoken of as knowing nothing by my own disciple, I am truly embarrassed."

"Orochimaru, since you have chosen to make a move against the village's ninjas, then let's settle things once and for all today!"

After speaking, Hiruzen began to form hand seals.

It was unknown for what reason, but although they were in the Hyuga clan's territory, Hiruzen had no scruples when he attacked. Ninjutsu of various attributes came from his hands with ease.

After more than a dozen rounds, although neither of them had used their full power to cast large-area A-rank ninjutsu, the affected area had almost encompassed the entire Hyuga clan territory.

Even the Anbu like Ishiro who were watching from the side had to create distance between themselves and the two.

Hiruzen was truly worthy of the title "Professor of Ninjutsu." Not to mention his easy use of various attribute ninjutsu, the sheer variety of his combination ninjutsu made even Ishiro marvel in his heart.

Hiruzen, in his prime, was indeed not comparable to his aged state in the original story.

Orochimaru, also a Kage-level, was actually suppressed from the very beginning.

Ishiro watched from the side, feeling like his horizons had been greatly broadened. This was the first time he had seen how a multi-attribute ninjutsu-type Kage-level powerhouse fought.

Ishiro felt that compared to Hiruzen, he was still lacking a lot. This gap was not just in lack of experience, but also a great difference in foundation.

From the number of B-rank ninjutsu Hiruzen had cast so far, it had already far exceeded Ishiro's, not to mention the many other ninjutsu Hiruzen certainly knew but hadn't used.

"Isn't the Hokage very busy? Where did Hiruzen get the time to train these ninjutsu?" Ishiro was somewhat puzzled.

In comparison, Orochimaru, who was also considered a ninjutsu-type ninja, was more than just a notch below.

Watching Orochimaru, who had already used the Snake Body Replacement Technique for the second time, Ishiro was somewhat puzzled. Why wasn't Orochimaru running yet?

The Cloud ninjas were all dead. There was no need for Orochimaru to stay anymore!

Orochimaru's goal was the Byakugan. He should have also considered the matter of failing to steal the Byakugan, which was why he had made a move on the Caged Bird Seal.

But since his backup plan was already complete, Orochimaru should be leaving quickly now.

Could it be that staying behind still gave him a chance to obtain the main family's Byakugan?

Hiashi and Hinata were both at the former residence of the Cloud delegation right now.

Ishiro couldn't figure it out. So he quietly withdrew from the crowd of spectators.

Ishiro planned to go back to the Cloud delegation's residence again to see if Orochimaru had any other backup plans.

However, after walking a few steps, his attention was drawn away. Dozens of meters in front of him, a group of Hyuga clan members were gathered.

These people were mainly the old, the weak, women, and non-combatant members, and there were many of them.

Surrounding this group was a circle of combat-type Hyuga ninjas. Ishiro recognized the person in the lead; it was Hizashi Hyuga.

These people had escaped while Hiruzen and Orochimaru were in their standoff.

At this time, all the Hyuga clan members were looking at Orochimaru, who was fighting a great battle in their clan territory, with angry eyes.

However, Ishiro suspected that the anger of many was actually directed at Hiruzen.

Because tonight, Orochimaru had not used any large-scale ninjutsu with great destructive power. The fact that the Hyuga clan territory was almost razed to the ground was mainly thanks to Hiruzen.

But what attracted Ishiro's gaze was not these people who were casting angry looks at the Hyuga territory, but a little boy who was hugging one of Hizashi's legs and looking at him curiously.

The little boy had a white cloth wrapped around his forehead and was observing Ishiro with pure white eyes. This little boy was Neji Hyuga, and also the main target of Ishiro's trip.

Ishiro focused his attention on his Mind's Eye and carefully sensed Neji.

He already had chakra, and quite a lot of it, much more than when Ishiro had first started extracting his own.

Ishiro, through his Anbu mask, met Neji's gaze for a few seconds, and then slowly walked away.

Hizashi, as if sensing something, glanced at Ishiro's retreating back but didn't pay too much attention. At this time, the number of Anbu and regular ninjas active nearby was already very large.

It wasn't uncommon for some to come over on their own without having received a mission.

So, Ishiro leaving alone was not particularly abrupt.
