Chapter 15: The Dead

"What is this?"

The scene in front of her was beyond Ayane's comprehension.

She had seen many techniques, but the 'psychic technique' that Orochimaru used at this time was obviously fundamentally different from ordinary psychic techniques.

Because Orochimaru does not summon living creatures, but 'dead people'.

After seeing the two people coming out of the coffin, their appearance can be said to be the most familiar household name for Ayane, who was once a Konoha ninja.

But in Ayane's cognition, these two people died at a very early age.

What remains in today's era is only ethereal legends.

I saw the two people coming out of the coffin, their bodies and skin exposed to the sun, and the cracks on their bodies gave people the feeling of cracked porcelain. The two of them slowly opened their eyes, their bodies moving slightly, and pressed their palms against their necks, as if they felt very stiff there.

Subsequently, the degree of flexibility of their movements is not much different from that of living people.

In the eyes that opened, there was a strange dark erosion, symbolizing foreboding.

The man on the left has long black hair and wears a black ninja suit with red stacked armor on the outside, and the armor on his left shoulder has the emblem of the ancient clan tattooed on it. The wrists of both hands are also protected by red iron wrist guards.

His eyes were calm, looking at his surroundings blankly, and he didn't seem to react to what was going on.

It stands to reason that he is already dead, right?

This familiar breath is undoubtedly the world of the living.

The man on the right, on the other hand, has silver hair and red eyes, with three red marks on his cheeks, and is wearing a black ninja suit like the man on the right, with blue layered armor on the outside to protect his body, and white down on his shoulders and a back.

Coldness and wisdom were evident from his face, his eyes piercing people's hearts, as ruthless as the blade of a knife.

He was different from the man on the right, he just looked down at his palm and reacted to what was happening to him.

"Is it the art of reincarnation in the soil...... It was used on me, the creator......"

He had already died in the past war, fighting with Yun Yin's two golden horns and silver horns.

Not only did those two have a nine-tailed chakra, which could transform into a small tailed beast, but they were also descendants of the Six Dao Immortals, who could control the powerful Six Dao Artifacts.

At that time, in order to evacuate his subordinates safely and leave the seeds for Konoha to grow, he chose to break off the queen without hesitation, and after killing the silver horn, the golden horn also killed him, and I don't know how to develop later.

Now that he has to return to this world of living people, his spirit has also produced a moment of trance.

He turned his head, and there was no one behind him, then he turned his head again and looked at Ayane who was standing not far in front of him, and the white eyes of the other party were particularly eye-catching in his eyes.

"White-eyed...... Is the Hyuga family...... I'm sorry, little girl, but the old man seems to have caused you trouble......"

He didn't know who Ayane was fighting against, but now that someone had channeled them, it was pretty obvious what they meant.

The surrounding terrain had changed, and before they could come out, there had been a terrible battle.

A large number of trees had collapsed, and the ground had been looted several floors, and even in his time, there were not many ninjas with such strength.

Ayane didn't answer, just silently watched the two.

The founder of Konoha Ninja Villageβ€”β€”

The original Hokage Senju Pillar.

The second generation of Hokage is between a thousand hands.

Once the top ninja in the Megatron ninja world.

Now that she appears as the living dead, Ayane has left a shadow in her heart...... Orochimaru, what a troublesome ninja.

Compared to Jiraiya and Tsunade, he is the most troublesome of the three ninjas, mainly studying forbidden arts.

Ignoring his soft fist, his body was like a piece of unbeatable hob meat.

This forbidden technique that summons the dead to battle is still used...... The technique of touching life and death, no matter from which point of view, is not simple.

"No era can escape the battle...... Really, I've told you more than once that you don't always study this strange forbidden technique, and if you die now, you'll cause trouble for the younger generations of the village. ”

The black-haired man on the side, the god of ninjas, Thousand Hands Pillar, also reacted, understood his own situation, and had already summoned what his technique was, and complained to his younger brother next to him.

"I didn't know that this would turn out like this, and besides, I also wanted to leave a means for the village to deal with the enemy, the three of them were too young to deter the rest of the ninja world."

If they can make use of this ninjutsu, combined with the mutual multiplication detonation charm he left behind, they can definitely give the enemy a head-on blow.

Unlike this brother who has no heart and lungs and always wants to send the tailed beast out of the country, he can be said to have done his best for the development of the village.

"Since it is a dead man, he should not cause trouble to the living, and the time that belongs to us has passed."

"Big brother, shut up for me!"

The face of the door was frighteningly cold, and he ruthlessly scolded his brother Zhuma.

"Yes......"

The pillars were dejected, and they were angry again.

However, in the bottom of his heart, he still doesn't agree with this approach, he should have forbidden him to study this forbidden technique, it seems that the other party secretly conducted human experiments behind his back.

His Hokage's order feels so useless.

"It's all because of your too naΓ―ve ideas that I've worked so hard, I told you a long time ago that sending the rest of the ninja village tailed beasts won't win their gratitude. Soon after your death, Yun Yin used the power of the two-tailed beast to declare war on Konoha, and I also died in that war. ”

He snorted coldly and said what happened next.

"Yes...... Is it? ”

Pillar touched his face awkwardly, not knowing how to explain to him.

"I just want everyone to sit down and talk to Kazuki together......"

"Idiot."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Pillar bowed his head and sighed.

Ayane glanced back and forth between the two, the original Naruto God had no majesty, which was unexpected, but the second Hokage was a representative of the realist school who paid attention to reality.

After thinking about it, she had more important things to do, and these two people didn't seem to want to fight when they came out...... What the hell is that guy Orochimaru doing?

Therefore, Ayane got up and jumped, ready to break through the defense line of the two and continue to pursue the three Orochimaru.

The snake was so disgusting that it had to be peeled off and concocted.

As soon as she made a move, the bodies of the two of them, Pillar and Kazuma, also immediately made corresponding movements, got up and jumped, blocking in front of Ayane.

Kazuma's face was unhappy, this was not his intention at all, it was in this body that was given the technique to automatically deal with the enemy.

As soon as an enemy moves, their bodies will also make a strategy to stop them.

And the sorcerer isn't here, he's a sinister guy.

The three of them were entangled together, and the fist thrown between the pillars was blocked by her palm, and on the other side, a sharp water blade was condensed in her hand, slashing towards her neck.

Seeing this, Ayane's body turned, coiling up the chakra airflow.

"Back to heaven!"

Bumper.

The blade of water breaks.

The bodies of the two of them, Tsuruma and Kazuma, were also immediately bounced out, and their figures settled on the ground, staring at Ayane carefully.

"It's so weak."

After a brief period of surprise, Ayane gave such an evaluation.

That's just the most basic Huitian, and as a result, even such a Huitian can be on par with the two, which directly lowers Ayane's expectations in her heart.

She had seen Madara Uchiha shoot, the complete Susa Nenghu, with a single sword, he could flatten mountains, split forests, and create cliffs on the plains.

The strength is unpredictable.

As a ninja god of the same level as Madara Uchiha, or even stronger, it turned out that the attack was easily blocked by her one-style return to the sky, which is also too unreasonable.

The same is true of the second generation Hokage, the other party is the same as his brother Tsuruma, they are both famous ninjas in the Warring States Period, and in the past era, the second generation Hokage has always been called the fastest ninja in the ninja world.

Not only that, many ninjutsu schools in Konoha were developed by the second-generation Hokage.

The fourth generation of Hokage wave Feng Shui Gate battle with the art of the flying thunder god that rampant in the ninja world, the original developer of this technique, is also the second generation Hokage of Kazuma.

"We're not in our prime...... That being said, in that case, use Huitian as you please, you are different from the Hyuga people I've seen...... It seems that Konoha is booming now, and there is a good ninja like you. ”

He praised it without hesitation.

The Hyuga clan is a famous family of Konoha and was once personally recruited by his brother Tsuruma to inherit the limited ninja clan.

Their white eyes are of great strategic importance on the battlefield.

Ayane, who has white eyes, is naturally regarded by him as a member of the Konoha Ninja Village.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, such an excellent ninja has appeared in the Hyuga clan, and it is a thriving scene to think that Konoha will not be far behind at this moment.

"Konoha ...... Flourish? ”

A strange smile appeared on Ayane's face.

If this sentence were changed to ten years ago, the knife would be considered correct.

But today's Konoha is already dying.

Her teacher Hachiki Sakumo committed suicide, the four generations of Hokage and his wife died in battle, one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, defected, and Tsunade traveled through the ninja world, but he didn't know where to go, and he also ran away in sadness because of the matter of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force...... So much so that the three generations of Hokage, who are now very old, have re-supported Konoha and formed a tail at the root, which doesn't look like a vigorous development no matter how you look at it.

"What, what's the problem?"

He was surprised.

"It's a big problem, second generation."

After Ayane finished speaking, a cold cold air flashed in her pure white pupils, and she rushed straight towards the two of them.

Zhuma's face changed, and his hands were folded.

"Wood Escape: Tree Realm Descends!"

Countless trees emerged from the ground and grew wildly, and the hideous trees shuttled at a rapid speed, winding towards Ayane's body.

Ayane's hands were unprotected and rushed straight forward.

The sound of clicking kept coming, and the trees that touched Ayane's body were directly shattered, turning into sawdust and scattering in all directions.

In the stunned eyes of the pillars, Ayane's figure landed in front of him like a ghost, and the palm of his hand rested on his forehead, striking lightly.

The upper body of the column shattered, turning into confetti that carried the smell of decay, and scattered all over the ground.

"The body is light and fluttering, obviously it is an entity, but it feels like it is not an entity...... It's a strange technique. However, in this way, you are the only one left, the second generation of adults. ”

Defeating Tsuruma lightly is not something difficult to do in Ayane's opinion.

The strength of these two people is too 'weak', as Kazuma said before, they are resurrected in this state, not in their heyday.

There must be some constraints to bringing the dead back to life.

Otherwise, this technique is simply terrifying.

"What you just said was 'a big problem'...... What is the meaning? ”

He didn't care about the death of the pillars, and his brother wasn't alive anymore.

All he cared about was what Ayane had just said, 'It's a big problem...... Did he make a mistake?

"I left Konoha eight years ago, so you should understand, right? I'm not a Konoha ninja right now. ”

Ayane laughed as if she hadn't laughed.

"What?"

His eyes widened.

Ayane said this, and of course he understood.

Defect ninja.

However, the defection of the ninjas of the Hyuga clan was inconceivable to him.

"You're from the clan?"

"No, I'm a separation."

β€œοΌŸβ€

The person who separated the family was caged in the brain, how did he defect?

"You can't talk nonsense, little girl, how can a ninja who has split up defect? Did you untie the caged bird? ”

The voice came from behind.

Ayane turned her head and saw a scene of countless confetti condensing, and the body of the original Hokage Pillar was being restored in a strange way.

"You're not dead yet."

"The trouble with this technique is that the resurrected person has an immortal body and an infinite chakra...... Can only be targeted with sealing. That's why I forbade the study of this technique in the first place, it's so evil that if it's abused, it will cause a lot of trouble to the living. ”

Pillar was kind enough to explain to Ayane.

"Oh, I see, thank you for your answer."

"No, it's nothing, speaking of which, it's us who are causing you trouble. You haven't answered my question, though. ”

The pillars stared at Ayane.

"Literally, I'm a ninja who splits up, but I'm unlocking the caged bird."

"That's right...... It's really powerful, the caged bird spell, even Mito didn't think he could do it at the beginning. That thing is closely connected to the brain, and Mito said that it can only be lifted if the 'death' condition is triggered. ”

Pillar looked admiring.

He felt tired, his stupid brother didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at all.

The people who split up defected, and the caged birds were lifted...... Then, freedom for those who are divided by the Hyuga family, it is like an addictive poison, and it will definitely cause division within the Hyuga family.

The Hyuga clan is an indispensable force for Konoha, and now that this has happened, Konoha's situation seems to be a little bad.

"Two, it's almost time for small talk. I still have business to do. ”

If Orochimaru is allowed to escape, things will become very tricky.

"But if you don't defeat us, you won't be able to go there and find the sorcerer."

Pillar said solemnly.

Although the strength of the two of them is not the strength of their heyday, it is not much of a problem to stop Ayane.

Because they are immortal, infinite chakra, as long as they are not sealed, they can always entangle Ayane.

Ayane didn't explain, but looked up around.

The pillars also followed her line of sight, and saw that the surrounding trees were densely packed with people.

About dozens of people.

None of them had strong chakra fluctuations.

One of the red-haired men, with a golden chakra chain extending from his back, broke through the air and struck, making the pillars subconsciously want to dodge.

Ayane reached Tsuruma's side first, and used her knife to cut a large hole in Tsuruma's chest, and Tsuruma was incapacitated for a brief moment.

The golden chain also happened to touch the body of the pillar, continuously absorbing and suppressing the chakra in the body of the pillar, so that he could not move after recovering there.

"This is the same Kongo blockade as Mito...... Are you a ninja of the Uzumaki Clan? Why ......"

Pillar looked at the golden chains that wrapped around his body, his eyes full of doubt.

Why do the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan get involved with the Hyuga clan?

As far as he knew, the Hyuga clan and the Uzumaki clan were not closely related.

And Ayane is not an ordinary Hyuga ninja, she is a defector ninja who has split up.

How could the Uzumaki clan, who have always trusted Konoha, unite with Konoha's traitors?

What happened in the current ninja world?

Zhu Ma suddenly felt that the times were developing too fast, and it was no longer the era he knew.

"Not only that, but there are also the rest of the Hyuga ninjas...... and the Uchiha. ”

The operation was not blocked, and he, with his sentience, escaped the attack first.

He twisted his head and swept towards the crowd around him, where he keenly noticed the presence of another Hyuga ninja.

In the crowd, there is also a ninja of the Uchiha clan who opens the three-hooked jade writing wheel eye.

This is like a hodgepodge of forces that soften together, making Kazuma's heart feel more and more uncomfortable.

What happened to Konoha after his death?

Forget about the Uchiha clan, why even the Uzumaki clan, who are close to Konoha, have to be associated with the traitors of the Hyuga family, and they look like they respect Ayane.

This simply subverts the three views between the doors.

Ayane has no interest in answering for Kazuma, and she has to pursue Orochimaru.

"Leave twenty people behind, remember to use the sealing technique to deal with them, and the rest will come with me."

Although Zhu Jian said that in addition to the sealing technique, you can also use Yin Yang Escape to target this forbidden technique.

It's a pity that Yin Yang is a legendary secret art, and even Shiraishi has not been able to master such a secret art.

The doppelganger made by Baishi is just a pure Yin Dun and Yang Dun combined with natural energy, adding his own soul fragments to create things, which is essentially different from Yin and Yang Dun.

"Yes!"

Ayane's figure disappeared from the spot, and half of the surrounding crowd also left, following Ayane to pursue the three of Orochimaru.

At the moment when Ayane left, Kazuma's body also moved again, wanting to stop Ayane.

His body was given such an order, and everything could not be decided autonomously.

When he made a move, the ninjas of the Oni Country who surrounded him did not show any timidity.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

The Uchiha's ninjas were the first to attack with fire escape.

He deliberately avoided the other party's writing wheels, and his state was not good at dealing with the writing wheels, and if he was controlled by the illusion of the writing wheels, things would be in trouble.

Tsuruma is restrained by the Uzumaki Clan's Vajra blockade, and is currently unable to fight with him, leaving him with the rest to survive on his own.

The seal from his hands instantly summoned a stream of water to extinguish the fireball.

The water that extinguishes the fireball continues to spread in all directions.

Immediately after, chakra accumulated in his mouth, and with a slight spit out, a large number of water needles flew out of his mouth, making the ninjas of the Oni Country who wanted to attack him scramble.

The assault ninjutsu that I saw didn't cause a small country, and I also roughly knew the strength of these ninjas, and I wanted to deal with it by myself now, which was too reluctant.

Over there, the ninja of the Uzumaki clan took out a piece of talisman paper from his ninja bag, walked to the pillar, and pressed it on the pillar's chest.

A strong restraining force was felt in the column, suppressing the chakra inside him, and locking his body firmly in place, unable to move.

In this rune paper, there is a powerful sealing technique.

Seeing that the sealing rune paper worked, the ninja of the Uzumaki clan removed the golden chain from the pillar, and then turned to look at the battlefield on the other side of the gate.

Under the siege of the ninjas of the Oni Country, Kazuma was only tired of coping, and his strength was greatly limited, and many secret techniques could not be used.

Seeing this, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan avoided having too many dreams at night, and directly controlled the golden chains behind them and attacked the door.

He was the only one in the audience who had this ability, which was why Ayane kept him here.

In the face of the undead ninja, the use of sealing is the best way to deal with it.

"As Konoha's alliance, why do you want to assist Konoha in defecting ninjas?"

Unraveling the caged bird's Ayane and leading the Hyuga clan to defect en masse, in the eyes of the Kazuma, is just an expected move.

The Uchiha clan is also mixed in, which can only show that the seriousness of the matter is greater than imagined.

But why are the Vortex Clan involved?

This is something that cannot be understood.

"It seems that Your Excellency does not understand the truth of the matter, and the country of the vortex will perish after your death."

The ninja of the Uzumaki clan manipulated the golden chains to attack Kakuma, and explained to Kakuma, disturbing his mind.

"How is that possible?"

He looked incredulous.

The Vortex Country is a neighbor of the Fire Country, and Konoha only needs less than half a day to support the Uzumaki Clan.

Even if the Uzumaki Clan suffers some kind of disaster, Konoha as a neighbor has plenty of time to rescue the Uzumaki Clan.

Pillar's eyes widened, and his mind was in chaos.

He had always been grateful to the Uzumaki clan.

Although Mu Dun can suppress the tailed beast, the sealing technique of the human pillar force is extradited from the Vortex clan.

Most of Konoha's sealing techniques are also taught by the Uzumaki clan.

In order to thank the Uzumaki Clan, he specially requested that the Uzumaki Clan's logo be engraved on Konoha's ninja uniform, representing the unfading friendship between Konoha and the Uzumaki Clan. And when the Uzumaki clan is in danger, you can also rely on the power of Konoha to protect their clan.

The destruction of the Vortex Country, where the Uzumaki clan is located, made the pillars even more dazed for a while.

"That's the way it is, the country of the vortex has perished, and the immigrants of the Uzumaki clan have been wandering in the ninja world for more than ten years, hiding like rats in the dark corners of the ninja world...... It was the Uchiha who rescued us. ”

Looking at the suddenly complicated face of the Kazuma, the ninja of the Uzumaki clan was also extremely emotional.

Konoha is not Konoha under the rule of the past generation or second generation after all.

"Konoha now...... Who is in charge? ”

He asked through gritted teeth.

"Your good student Ape Flying Sun. Under his leadership, Konoha has experienced the second and third ninja wars in a row for nearly three decades, and now suffers heavy casualties...... The situation is not good. ”

Continue to disturb the mind between the doors, and strive to find the flaws between the doors.

Monkey! I don't know why, but a nameless fire suddenly pops up in my heart.

Pillar sighed.

"Alas...... War, ah......"

The Second and Third Ninja World Wars.

In other words, after his death, there was also the first ninja war, and Kazuma should have died in that battle.

Judging from the information given by the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan, it has been decades since the time of his death, and three large-scale ninja wars have broken out.

Let the pillars have the illusion of returning to the Warring States period.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Pillar sensed something, and he lowered his head to look at his body, which was emitting a white glow that enveloped it.

"This feeling...... Did the surgeon remove the procedure......"

There was a sense of relief.

I was relieved to hear that Konoha had not been eliminated from the great era, but I was also worried about the current pattern of the ninja world.

However, this worry was quickly erased from Zhuma's heart.

He is already a dead man, and the world of the living is dominated by the people of this world.

He has completed his mission, and no matter what regrets and remorse, decades ago, he should have let go of all of them, and he should no longer be nostalgic for the world of the living.

At this time, he also looked at his glowing body.

"Hmph, it seems that the sorcerer has not completely completed this art, and regarded us and that little girl as the test subjects of the forbidden art? It's a nasty feeling. ”

Unlike the pillars, Kazuma knew that it was not the sorcerer who took the initiative to lift the technique of reincarnation of the soil, but the technique of reincarnation of the soil, which was originally imperfect.

Forbidden techniques are not so easy to master, especially this forbidden technique that reverses the boundary between life and death.

He had only completed the most basic parts at the beginning, and there was still a long way to go before the actual finished product.

But...... He glanced at the crowd around him, his eyes flickering.

Konoha's affairs worried him a little.

Want to go back?

As the developer of the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique, Kazuma knew all the secrets of this technique, and even kept a hand at the end just in case of today's situation.

In order to avoid becoming a puppet in the hands of others as a developer.

Unraveling this technique was a breeze for him.

Unraveling the technique, and then fixing the ninjutsu with the soul, you can ensure that you are not summoned by the world of the dead.

Just as the idea came to his mind, a voice came into his ears:

"Don't do anything superfluous."

Turning his head, he saw that his elder brother was staring at him with a terrifying look that seemed to imply a warning.

Of course, he knew what kind of traps were left in the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique.

"Big Brother ......"

"We are dead, don't cause trouble to the people of this world. We have already done everything that can be done, and even if the village is destroyed, it can only show that they are not angry and cannot complain about others. ”

"But ......"

"Don't you even listen to me?"

Tsuruma continued to stare at him with that cold gaze, which made Kazuma's heart tremble subconsciously.

He knew that Pillar was angry.

At this time, the column is the most dangerous.

"I see, don't show such a terrible expression all at once......"

He sighed, lowered his raised hands, and watched as the confetti on his body flew away, and finally did nothing.

The illusory light and shadow of the spirit body detached from the confetti body, and looked at this strange and familiar time and space with a complicated gaze, flying towards the sky, turning into green smoke and disappearing.

"Sorry for the trouble, apologize to the little girl for us...... Konoha ......"

The spirit between the pillars that flew into the air sighed faintly.

I can only hope that they will do it for themselves.

As dead people, they have fulfilled the promise they made at that time, and if the future generations cannot fight, even if they help them through this time, they will perish in the future because of other things.

They who are already dead can be blessed silently.

This is not the world they should be in.

The spirit between the pillars also flew into the air, turned into green smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

After the confetti scattered, two strange corpses lay on the ground, causing many Oni no Kuni ninjas to look at each other.

This kind of ninjutsu is too weird.

But it also seems that this forbidden technique has great limitations.

"The three forbearances are really not to be underestimated...... Leave the two to dispose of the body, and the rest assist Ayane-sama in encircling Orochimaru. By the way, how is the encirclement pulling? ”

The Uzumaki ninja asked.

"It's already pulled, and next, you just need to catch the turtle in the urn. The three of them can't escape. ”

Ayane was in charge of the feint, and they were in charge of pulling the siege.

Orochimaru also noticed this, so he didn't hesitate to escape with the other two, not daring to stay.

What a sinister and cunning snake.
