Chapter 114 An unsolvable combination technique meets an unsolvable opponent; will the score be sett
Chapter 114 An unsolvable combination technique meets an unsolvable opponent; will the score be settled later?
A week-long holiday is over.
Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina continue their mission.
The land of rivers is full of natural beauty, with vast, verdant mountains forming a winding, rugged road network.
A caravan of twenty or thirty people embarked on their arduous journey home.
Compared to ordinary people who were exhausted and panting from constantly going up and down the slopes, the man and woman who were leading the way remained calm and composed.
The girl with her long, straight red hair tied into a high ponytail would occasionally close her eyes and form hand seals, releasing the most advanced sensory technique in the ninja world. Her invisible mind's eye covered an area of tens of kilometers in radius.
Within this sensory range, all people and animals, whether ordinary or ninja, large or small, will have their chakra and life force detected as if by radar.
The man and woman were none other than Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina.
Although the duo of the space-time ninja and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is already the strongest duo in Konoha and even the ninja world, they do not only carry out S-rank missions.
To be precise, S-rank missions are ultra-high-level missions involving the top echelons of the nation and ninja villages, and they are not available at all times.
If you only do S-rank missions, you'll either starve to death or die in battle.
Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina weren't short of money; they were doing missions purely to travel and relax.
Therefore, the caravan was unaware that the strongest duo from Konoha in front of them were not their true forms, but merely shadow clones.
Even if they are just shadow clones, their combat power is still at the ace level.
Kushina Uzumaki's shadow clones possess chakra measured in cards.
Yoru Gojo, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, can also instantly swap the positions of himself and Kushina Uzumaki's shadow clones with his main body in less than a second.
If the enemy targets them, Kagura's Mind's Eye will detect them before they even get close. They don't even need Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina's original bodies to return; their shadow clones can take care of the enemy.
If the enemy can ignore Kagura's perception and approach and kill the shadow clones without anyone noticing, it means that the opponent's strength is terrifying.
For Gojo Yoru, exchanging his shadow clones and the client for this information was a good thing.
The mission failed, so be it. Hiruzen Sarutobi would not blame him or Kushina Uzumaki; instead, he would praise him for his excellent fishing skills.
Compared to the two major strategic threats of space-time ninjas and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the life of the entrusted person is not even as valuable as that of a genin who is used as cannon fodder.
That's how cruel the world of ninjas is.
Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina's true forms were currently in the waterfall area, about fifteen kilometers away from the caravan.
The clicking sound of a camera was barely audible amidst the roar of the waterfall.
If it weren't for the flash, I wouldn't even know that the camera shutter had been automatically triggered.
On the shore of the pond, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina posed for photos in various poses.
Some were arm in arm, some were being carried in a princess carry, some were being ridden on each other's shoulders, and some were even kissing.
After taking normal couple photos, Kushina Uzumaki was still not satisfied and asked Yoru Gojo to use her transformation magic to change her clothes and height, or even turn back into her childhood appearance, to satisfy her various perverse tastes.
Despite her wicked personality, Gojo Yoru did not contradict Kushina Uzumaki. Instead, she was unusually obedient, following orders like a robot.
He did whatever Kushina Uzumaki told him to do, even if it damaged his image or became a black mark on his past.
"————Okay, that's enough for today."
After using up countless rolls of film, Kushina Uzumaki finally finished the photoshoot, completely satisfied.
Watching Kushina fiddling with her camera, Yoru Gojo wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gave her a mischievous grin. He whispered in her ear, "Kushina-sensei's turn is over. Tonight, it's Yoru-sensei's turn~~"
Whether it was the sound of her breath hitting her ear or Gojo Yoru's words that reminded Kushina Uzumaki of some embarrassing scene, a blush suddenly appeared on her delicate and pretty face.
Kushina Uzumaki gently elbowed Yoru, breaking free from his embrace. As she walked ahead, she said, "What Yoru-sensei's turn? I don't know what you're talking about."
Gojou Yoru wasn't angry. Instead, she put her hands behind her head and followed Kushina Uzumaki, muttering in a sarcastic tone: "A liar's nose will become long and pointed, that's called Pinocchio; a person who doesn't keep their word will easily gain weight, that's called 'breaking one's promise and getting fat'; a person who doesn't keep their word will later become hunchbacked and unable to feed their children, because they're too ashamed to face anyone and have no magnanimity—"
Gojo didn't say much, but just repeated these few sentences over and over, his tone sometimes different, as if reminding,
It was like a warning, or a curse—more annoying than being cursed to one's face.
"Alright, alright, stop nagging. I promise you, okay?" Kushina Uzumaki covered her ears with her hands, turned around and glared at Yoru Gojo, then raised her fist and threatened fiercely, "I can cooperate with you to take those kinds of photos, but you have to promise me that you will never show them to a third person, and you absolutely cannot leak them, or I will beat you to death and then commit suicide."
"Hehe—I promise I'll carry it with me at all times, and I'll even sleep in it sealed in a wrist-sized storage roll."
Gojo ran over, picked up Kushina Uzumaki, spun her around a few times, and then suddenly pinned her against a tree and kissed her.
Kushina Uzumaki, whose personality has never been shy, also stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Yoru's neck, and responded enthusiastically.
When her feet got tired from tiptoeing, she jumped onto Gojo Yoru's body and clung to his waist with her legs.
If it weren't for the powerful, cross-dimensional river censorship, which is as strong as the cross-dimensional prohibition, and would take some time to leave, the two of them probably wouldn't have been able to resist using the sky as their blanket, the earth as their mat, the mountains and rivers as their pillow, and singing geese as their accompaniment.
Before even graduating from the ninja academy, the two had already developed feelings for each other and made their feelings public several times.
Over the years, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina's relationship has long since blossomed into something natural.
Just like the relationship between Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, no one was more suitable to be Kushina Uzumaki's other half than Yoru Gojo.
Only Gojo Yoru was able to control the out-of-control Kushina Uzumaki.
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a wildly imaginative idea.
If Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina successfully have a child, and that child inherits their bloodline, wouldn't that make Gojo Yoru even more perfect?
Having made up for his two major weaknesses in perception and medical skills, Gojo Yoru now only has a shortage of chakra.
For an ordinary ninja, the amount of chakra at the ace level is already astonishing.
However, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, this level of chakra was far from sufficient.
A massive amount of chakra is the foundation of ultra-wide-range ninjutsu, and it is also a secret technique that one must master to surpass the Five Kage and become the next generation of ninja god.
Gojo Yoru cannot solve this problem. Even if his combat strength is greater than that of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, his strategic deterrence will always be inferior to theirs.
If Gojo Yoru possessed the level of chakra that Kushina Uzumaki had, it's unimaginable what his potential would be.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi was very much looking forward to them having an even more perfect offspring.
The Land of Rivers is a very small and weak country, which has always served as a buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. Most of its area is undeveloped and beyond the reach of its national strength, remaining a natural landscape.
These places have also become secret bases for various countries. If the land of rivers wants to mine them, it even needs to inform the surrounding countries.
Because of the rugged and difficult roads, the economy of the Land of Rivers could not develop at all, and it was one of the few countries in the ninja world without prosperous areas.
The villages and towns in this country are either built on the mountains or at the foot of the mountains, and are therefore known as mountain villages and mountain towns.
The caravan traveled at a leisurely pace, crossing countless mountains, until finally, as dusk approached, they came across a small town at the foot of one of the mountains.
"Lord Gojo, I'll leave you with this tonight."
"Stay here without worry, protecting you is my duty."
The caravan leader adopted an extremely humble attitude and negotiated with Gojo Yoru in a respectful tone.
Gojo Yoru, who had quietly transformed from a shadow clone back into her original form, responded with equal politeness.
Even so, he and Kushina Uzumaki did not provide close protection for the caravan, but instead sent them to find an inn to stay at.
The caravan leader had no objections. At this price, they had already made a huge profit by hiring the Incarnation of Miracles and the strongest duo from Konoha as guards. They wouldn't dare to make any other demands.
It was this sense of awe that saved their lives.
Just like when she was on a mission, Kushina first used Kagura's Mind's Eye to cover the entire town and see if anyone was watching them. If not, she marked the locations of the local strongmen. Then she went shopping with Gojo Yoru to see what local specialties they had.
After the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan awakens, they can only see things within a radius of one kilometer at the beginning. Without awakening the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, being able to see a few kilometers in the future will be the limit.
Such eyes are already the most advanced sensory eyes in the ninja world, not to mention Kagura's Mind Eye, which can sense objects dozens of kilometers away.
As Madara Uchiha said, five years is enough time for a person to become arrogant.
The one who became arrogant was not Gojo Yoru, but Uzumaki Kushina.
Gojo Yoru never reminded Kushina Uzumaki of the existence of a creature in the ninja world that could become one with the earth and its vegetation.
For the past five years, Gojo Yoru has always entrusted remote perception to Uzumaki Kushina, while he himself has been quietly using his small-scale spatial perception as a backup.
Five years later, despite being limited by his talent, Gojo Yoru still couldn't unleash his full spatial perception without using any seals.
However, by using the normal micro-adjustment of the Yin Seal, and by silently mobilizing and fusing space-time chakra and Yin Release chakra with one hand seal, he can still perceive a certain range of space without using any seals after accumulating power for a period of time.
As always, Gojo Yoru, who is cautious and careful by nature, was no exception this time.
As he released his fully charged spatial perception, his gaze suddenly and imperceptibly drifted towards the eleven o'clock direction.
There was a burly man over there who looked like a local resident, carrying three woven bags that were full and heavy, walking with his head down and body bent over.
These burly men doing manual labor are almost everywhere, making them virtually invisible.
Busy making a living, they looked down more than ahead, unlike other young men who were secretly admiring the beautiful Kushina Uzumaki in different ways.
It was this kind of seemingly insignificant manual laborer who caught Gojo Yoru's attention.
However, Gojo Yoru didn't keep a close eye on the other party. On the surface, he continued to accompany Kushina Uzumaki while shopping, but in reality, his spatial perception was locked onto the burly man, and his space-time chakra was already surging within him.
The burly man was drenched in sweat; even raising his gaze slightly would soak it with sweat.
As he walked past Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina, he had no idea that there was a handsome couple attracting countless eyes next to him.
Even with the ability to sense emotions, no one could detect a trace of hostility or killing intent from the burly man. There was no chakra in his body either; he was just an ordinary person.
This ordinary man, with his back to Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina, had walked less than three meters when a man wrapped in white bandages suddenly appeared behind him without warning. Between his hands, which were in a forward-pushing posture, was a transparent white cube-shaped barrier that emitted a dazzling white light and instantly expanded dozens of times, trying to become a cube-shaped barrier the size of a house.
The burly man was less than three meters away from Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina. The barrier was expanding so fast that it could envelop the two of them in the blink of an eye.
Even the strongest person, even if they are on guard, cannot react in time.
Except for — Gojo Yoru.
Almost the instant the bandaged man appeared, Gojo Yoru pulled Kushina Uzumaki behind him with one hand and unleashed his charged attack with the other.
A transparent black crescent moon collided with the magnified cube barrier. The latter was sliced in half like tofu by the crescent moon, and then magnified dozens of times in an instant, turning into two white walls on the left and right sides of Gojou Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina.
Along with the cube-shaped barrier, the man covered in bandages and the burly man behind him were also cut apart.
To be precise, everything with a diameter of 100 meters was cut apart by this transparent black crescent moon.
Whether it's people or objects, the cut surfaces are always so smooth and straight.
However, compared to this mark, the images on either side of Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina are even more exaggerated.
After the two blindingly white walls disappeared, all the people and things on both sides of the street vanished, leaving behind a huge crossroads in the town.
Everything enveloped in white light was broken down into atomic states.
It's just that the area covered by that barrier wasn't very large; otherwise, the entire town would have disappeared.
In this area, only Kushina Uzumaki escaped unscathed.
The girl was terrified and stood blankly behind Gojo Yoru, at a loss for what to do.
For the first time, she realized how close death was to her.
If it weren't for Gojo Yoru pulling her, she might not even know how she died.
Gazing at the man whose body had been split in two, yet instead of blood splattering, a large amount of white dust floated around him, slowly approaching each other, the bandaged man with black whites around his eyes, Gojo Yoru uttered a technique name: "Impure World Reincarnation Technique—"
The bandaged man was also staring at Gojo Yoru, his body split in two, yet he could still utter a heavy voice: "Spatial perception—"
Before their bodies could even touch, the bandaged man vanished without warning.
A kunai engraved with a magic array pattern fell to the ground.
At the same time, a white corpse split in two emerged from the burly man's body and transformed into a small tree that was also split in two, which may become a special attraction in this town in the future.
On this tree that has split in two, there is also a magic array pattern.
Gojo Yoru's gaze was deep, and his agile mind instantly deciphered the combination of techniques and tactics.
The White Zetsu clone left a Flying Thunder God Technique seal on its body, and then used the Spore Technique to parasitize an ordinary person without chakra, thereby lowering Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina's guard. While they were facing away from each other, the person behind the Flying Thunder God Technique immediately transferred the bandaged man, who had been charging up to use the Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique, to the back of the burly man parasitized by the White Zetsu clone, releasing the killing move almost face-to-face.
This is an unsolvable combination technique.
Because of the stealth of the Spore Technique, which is no less than that of the Mayfly Technique, it parasitized Uchiha Sasuke in the original story, and even Karin, who has Kagura's Mind's Eye, could not detect it.
If Gojo Yoru hadn't been overly cautious and hadn't used his spatial perception to spot a tiny, rice-grain-sized point of light on the burly man, keeping a close eye on him while charging up his Space Escape: Wind Cut Technique, he too would have been instantly killed by this combination of techniques.
The bandaged man is Mu, the Second Tsuchikage, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique. The person behind the Flying Thunder God Technique is undoubtedly Tobirama Senju, also resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Since Tobirama Senju's death, no one in the entire ninja world has been able to learn this S-rank forbidden technique that involves space and time, violates ethics, and desecrates the souls of the dead.
Even though Orochimaru learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique in the later parts of the original story, he didn't perfect this forbidden technique until Shippuden, together with Kabuto Yakushi.
But during that brief eye contact, Gojou Yoru's spatial perception clearly revealed the amount of chakra within the Second Tsuchikage that was at the pinnacle of the Five Kage's power.
Without a doubt, the Second Tsuchikage's strength was almost identical to that of his lifetime.
Currently, the only thing that can overcome the flaw of the Impure World Reincarnation technique is the omnipotent Hashirama cells.
"Uchiha Madara."
Gojo Yoru uttered the name in her heart.
He was absolutely certain that the person he had just stared at was not the Second Tsuchikage, but the ninja world's demon.
Thinking of this, Gojo Yoru couldn't help but smile to himself: "Combination techniques are unbeatable, but I am even more unbeatable. You are indeed very cautious and have calculated everything perfectly, but unfortunately, you have already missed the best opportunity."
After his spacetime bloodline was exposed, Gojo Yoru was eager to develop his spatial perception because he was afraid of assassination attempts by Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu.
Even with the development of spatial awareness, Gojo Yoru remained cautious, especially in crowded places, where he always multitasked.
Because he knew that in addition to the Mayfly Technique, Black and White Absolute also possessed two other divine skills: the Spore Technique and the Disguise Technique.
No matter how strong his spatial perception is, he cannot sense good and evil, and can be deceived by the art of disguise.
As for the Spore Technique, Gojo Yoru had never encountered it before and did not know whether it could evade spatial perception.
It is now confirmed that the Spore Technique is ineffective against spatial perception.
This unsolvable combination of assassination techniques not only left Gojo Yoru feeling somewhat fearful, but also removed a worry from his mind.
The Mayfly Technique and the Spore Technique, two of the three divine skills, had no effect on him.
Once Kushina Uzumaki combined Kagura's Mind's Eye with the Nine-Tails' chakra to develop a version of Kagura's Mind's Eye that senses good and evil, the two of them together would no longer be afraid of the three great divine techniques of Zetsu and the Black Zetsu.
Exposing your spatial awareness in exchange for this intelligence is well worth it.
While his mind raced, Gojou Yoru kept his eyes fixed on the Flying Thunder God Technique in front of him, and his space-time chakra continued to surge and gather power within him to prevent Uchiha Madara from launching a surprise attack.
Just then, he heard a girl's trembling voice: "Night, just now—what happened?"
Who is that guy? Is that the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Faced with Kushina Uzumaki's three questions, Yoru Gojo did not answer. Instead, he formed a hand seal with one hand to create a shadow clone, while his main body teleported away with Kushina Uzumaki.
The main body cannot stay here tonight, and should try to avoid appearing in crowded places in the future, otherwise similar unsolvable combination attacks may continue to occur.
"That kid wasn't so easy to kill after all."
In the dimly lit underground space, Madara Uchiha severed his visual connection with his reanimated body, opened his three-tomoe Sharingan, which gleamed with an eerie crimson light, and murmured, "Being able to react instantly is definitely not just about having a powerful reflex speed. He certainly didn't expect that the assassination attempt would be a combination of Flying Thunder God Technique and Dust Release, but instead of dodging, he directly severed the Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique, indicating that he had already detected the White Zetsu's Spore Technique and had pre-charged his ninjutsu, even sensing the spatial fluctuations of the Flying Thunder God Technique." — His extended sensory technique is definitely spatial perception.
Madara Uchiha's tone was full of certainty in his last sentence.
-
At the same time, he said with admiration and respect, "Five years have passed, and he can still maintain such vigilance. This kid is simply a born assassin. Even in our time, there were few assassins like him."
"What a pity. If he had appeared in our era, the ninja world might not be what it is now."
O
"In this filthy ninja world, only by severing the causal bonds of the world can we create a perfect world without war, where everyone can find happiness."
Thinking of the Eye of the Moon Plan, Madara Uchiha's eyes turned cold again: "Since assassination won't work, then we can only sacrifice the individual for the greater good."
"During war, ninjas are just expendable resources. Since they're all disposable tools, let's use them all for our own purposes and contribute to a perfect world."
The Land of Rain, a rocky mountain region.
As a country with a year-round rainy season, the land of rain is still shrouded in dark clouds and pouring rain today.
On the barren mountainside, two figures, one tall and one short, defied gravity to leap across the eaves—
The wall sometimes transforms into a pool of water, using dense raindrops to reassemble its body.
The camera zooms in, revealing Hanzo and Yahiko, master and apprentice, practicing the Water Instantaneous Body Technique.
Hanzo of the Salamander, whose Body Flicker Technique is unparalleled in the ninja world, seems to have a unique training method that makes Yahiko, who was not good at Body Flicker Technique in the original work, increasingly resemble a demigod in the ninja world.
Not only do they avoid mountain paths, but the places they pass through are also frequently hit by falling rocks from mountaintops or a series of explosions, yet they always manage to escape in time.
After using the Body Flicker Technique to traverse countless mountains the same color as rock, Hanzo of the Salamander finally stopped in a desolate clearing. Turning around, he looked at Yahiko, who was panting heavily but still barely keeping up with him, his calves still strapped with weights. With admiration in his eyes, he praised, "In five years, your Body Flicker Technique has been perfectly combined with Water Release. Even with weights, you can use it without hand seals. When you're a year or two older, you'll be able to completely conquer this rocky mountain area."
"At that time, you only need to continue to improve your synergy with the salamander. Once you can use the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique with the salamander, you will have completely mastered the Instantaneous Movement Technique."
Yahiko's face beamed with joy, but he remained humble, saying, "I still have a long way to go, and there's a lot I need to learn from you, Master Hanzo."
"Don't worry, I will pass on everything to you." Hanzo of the Salamander said with a firm look in his eyes, "The future of Amegakure rests on your shoulders."
Just as Yahiko, with a similarly determined look in his eyes, was about to reply, the expressions of the master and disciple suddenly changed.
"Who is it?!"
Hanzo and Yahiko looked around and saw four purple transparent barriers rising from the east, west, south, and north, which then sealed off to form a huge transparent purple cube.
A series of heavy, splashing footsteps approached from afar.
With their keen hearing, Hanzo and Yahiko, the salamanders, immediately turned to look.
A figure slowly walked out through the rain.
Upon seeing this figure, Hanzo of the Salamander's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in horror, "The Second Hokage, you're still alive?!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Hanzo of the Salamander realized what he meant. With a grave expression, he shielded Yahiko behind him, scrutinized Tobirama Senju, and said in a deep voice, "Cracks all over his body, and those distinctive black sclera—this is the Impure World Reincarnation technique that shook the ninja world during the First Shinobi World War. Does Konoha intend to settle scores later?"
The Impure World Reincarnation technique is a forbidden technique in Konoha that violates ethics, and few people know about it.
After all, when Tobirama Senju was still alive, he often used this technique in combination with the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags technique.
Hanzo of the Salamander assumed that the Flying Thunder God Technique was an S-rank ninjutsu invented by Tobirama Senju after the Flying Thunder God Technique, and that it had been mastered by the ninjas of Konoha. He thought that the ninjas were coming in a fierce manner and were preparing to settle scores later.
Madara Uchiha, who had taken over Tobirama Senju's body, looked at Hanzo the Salamander in front of him with disdain in his eyes.
This kind of person is not even as good as the Second Tsuchikage Mu, who brought two shinobi to Konoha back then, yet he is called a demigod of the shinobi world.
These days, even trash can try to piggyback on the fame of the "hot mom" from Harbin.
Then, Madara Uchiha spoke with disdain: "I heard your Water Release techniques are quite powerful?"
Hanzo the Salamander's expression changed drastically again, and he shouted, "Yahiko, quickly summon the Salamander and have it lead you away!"
Unfortunately, Hanzo the Salamander's warning came too late.
"Water Release—"
Madara Uchiha simply formed a hand seal representing water style and uttered the name of a technique: "Great Explosive Water Shockwave".
'
The next second, looking at the transparent purple cube-shaped barrier from the outside, one could see water surging up from the bottom of the barrier, instantly filling it and turning it into a huge water tank.
