Naruto: Starting as Tsunade's Desk Mate

Page 37

The sky was instantly obscured by iron sand, which gathered into a dark cloud that pressed down on the Konoha camp, unleashing a dense rain of iron needles.

Jiraiya noticed the Third Hokage's attack and immediately used ninjutsu to defend himself, causing a large amount of earth and rocks to rise up and cover the entire camp.

However, the Third Kazekage was incredibly cunning. He seized the moment Jiraiya was casting his technique, and his iron rain transformed into spears, piercing through Jiraiya's body.

Jiraiya was severely injured. The young Jiraiya was still relatively weak and far from reaching the level of a Kage-level fighter. He wasn't even a Kage-level fighter yet, and he immediately suffered a kneeling injury.

"Jiraiya!"

As soon as Tsunade stepped out of the tent, she saw Jiraiya injured. She immediately summoned a giant slug and provided each Konoha ninja with a small slug for use in healing.

An Yan, who came out with him, reacted quickly and saved Jiraiya in a split second, almost causing Konoha to lose a Kage-level seed player.

Tsunade began treating Jiraiya, whose abdomen was filled with a large amount of iron sand, which was extremely difficult to treat. However, Tsunade had already developed a technique to extract the small ailments, which could be easily resolved.

An Yan stood guard around Tsunade, and Minato and the other two rushed over when they heard the commotion, protecting Tsunade.

"Latent Shadow Snake Hand!"

Orochimaru had already exchanged several blows with the Third Kazekage. Although Orochimaru had studied forbidden techniques for many years and was much stronger than in the original timeline, he was far from reaching the level of the later, more ruthless Orochimaru. Facing a master like the Kazekage, he could only barely hold on, and every move was fraught with danger.

Orochimaru was about to die at the hands of the Third Kazekage.

An Yan made his move; since he was present, there was no reason for him to let his teammates sacrifice themselves.

He instantly appeared in front of Orochimaru, slapping his hands left and right to disperse the chakra attached to the iron sand. A large amount of iron sand fell weakly to the ground. Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retreated, taking over from An Yan to protect Tsunade.

The Third Kazekage stood in the sky, coldly watching An Yan. In his view, An Yan was the strongest fighter in this camp, and if he defeated him, everyone in the camp would die.

A massive amount of iron sand rained down on An Yan. Faced with the torrent of black iron, An Yan raised his hand and unleashed a ninjutsu without a hand seal: Wind Tunnel.

A large amount of iron sand was directly swept onto the spiraling wind blade by the storm. The fine wind-style chakra dispersed all the chakra attached to the iron sand, and then it was orderly sealed into the scroll by An Yan.

The scroll swallowed a large amount of iron sand. An Yan put the scroll away and looked up at the sky.

The Land of Rain is perpetually rainy, and the sky is always overcast, making it the perfect time to unleash that attack.

An Yan raised his hand to the sky, and thunder rolled in the sea of ​​clouds. A thunder dragon poked its head out, and the image of the dragon formed by the lightning was lifelike.

The ninjas on the battlefield were stunned. The dragon's head was so lifelike, like a real divine dragon, and the hundred-meter-long lightning dragon charged straight towards the Third Kazekage.

This is An Yan's S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu, Heavenly Thunder Descends, which he created by drawing inspiration from Sasuke's Kirin.

Chapter 70 The Strongest Wind Shadow Falls Down

A hundred-meter-long lightning dragon flashed with dazzling light in the dark Land of Rain, charging directly toward the Third Kazekage.

The ninjas watching from all sides felt a burning sensation in their eyes; the light seemed to possess the power of lightning, with an unstoppable momentum.

Before the Third Kazekage was even hit, his hair stood on end. Looking at the unstoppable lightning dragon, he felt that if he couldn't withstand this attack, he would surely die!

This lightning dragon is not a simple lightning ninjutsu; it seems to draw upon the power of nature, containing the might of heaven and earth, while ninjas are undoubtedly insignificant in the face of heaven and earth.

At the critical moment, the Third Kazekage unleashed his full power, releasing his chakra without reservation.

"Magnetic Escape - Iron Sand Boundary Technique!!!"

As the Kazekage shouted at the top of his lungs, the earth shook violently, and all the iron objects around flew over and turned into iron sand particles. The kunai and shuriken on the Konoha ninjas and even the headbands on the Sand ninjas were sucked away, leaving only the ninjas looking at each other in bewilderment.

The black iron sand, like ink, surged from the cracked earth, converging from all directions to form a massive inverted pyramid above the Third Kazekage's head. With such defense, the Third Kazekage even felt it could protect against Tailed Beast Balls.

The Third Kazekage was full of confidence.

Just before the Thunder Dragon crashed into the inverted pyramid, An Yan suddenly appeared beside the pyramid, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer most of the condensed iron sand away, and then disappeared instantly, turning the original pyramid into a small mound.

The Third Kazekage's pupils trembled violently—this is bad!

The raging lightning struck the "small mound" directly, instantly turning the iron sand into molten iron.

The thunder dragon struck the earth, and the soil within a radius of tens of meters below the Third Kazekage turned into a hot, glassy substance.

Seeing that the Third Kazekage was still floating in the air and that the ninjutsu had not achieved the desired effect, An Yan was slightly dissatisfied. He had risked being struck by lightning to reduce the Third Hokage's defense by more than half with the mark of the Flying Thunder God Kunai that had been absorbed, but he still failed to hit him.

At the critical moment, the Third Kazekage used readily available materials, including iron sand that kept rising from the ground, to make several simple lightning rods, which dispersed the power of the lightning and thus escaped disaster.

After narrowly escaping death, the Third Kazekage is extremely wary of An Yan. He is now considering whether to retreat immediately, as An Yan's strength should not be underestimated.

However, An Yan didn't give him a chance to think. Seeing that the lightning attack was useless, he launched an attack directly.

An Yan instantly appeared in front of Feng Ying and threw a punch—a punch of superhuman strength.

However, An Yan had made so many moves on the battlefield that the Sand Ninja had already gathered some information about him, and the Kazekage knew that he could move at lightning speed.

Therefore, the moment An Yan disappeared, the iron sand around Feng Ying scattered and spiraled rapidly to protect himself, which at first glance looked like some kind of innate qi.

However, An Yan was fearless. He broke through Feng Ying's defenses with a single punch and appeared beside him in the next instant, delivering a punch right to his head.

The Third Kazekage was knocked down from the sky and crashed into the ground, creating a huge dent. An Yan did not smile, though; the feeling of that attack just now was not quite right.

An Yan watched as the Third Kazekage was shot down; it had indeed transformed into a sand-iron clone.

As expected of a master of the Shadow level, his life-saving tricks are numerous and sophisticated. It seems I'll have to use my brain a little more.

The Third Kazekage's attack methods rely heavily on iron sand from the external environment, so let's bring it into the domain.

Looking at the Third Kazekage who had reappeared not far away, he put his right hand in front of his chest and struck a pose similar to that of Gojo Satoru.

"The field expands!"

An Yan and the Third Kazekage vanished in an instant, causing the Sand Ninja around them to panic. The Third Kazekage had suffered repeated defeats in his battles against An Yan, and now he had been taken to an unknown place, which made the Sand Ninja very worried.

They rushed to the battlefield, wanting to check on the Kazekage's whereabouts, but Orochimaru blocked their way.

"Gentlemen of Sunagakure, do you think Konoha is just for show? The Ten Thousand Snake Formation!"

Orochimaru made his move immediately, and thousands of venomous snakes scattered rapidly, attacking the Sand Ninja. The Konoha ninjas behind him also launched a charge.

The two sides immediately engaged in battle.

Within the domain, the Third Kazekage looked at the surrounding bamboo forest and was secretly shocked. He could sense that this was an alternate dimension, no longer belonging to the ninja world.

However, before the third generation could think too much, a wooden dragon rushed towards him.

Feng Ying subconsciously wanted to manipulate the iron sand, but there was no trace of iron element here, so he could only use the Five Elements Escape Technique instead.

Since it's wood, it should be attacked with fire.

Feng Ying spewed out a large amount of flames, setting the bamboo forest ablaze. However, he regretted it the next moment. This was a confined space, and once the flames started, the oxygen in the space was consumed in large quantities.

The wooden dragon was ignited by the flames and transformed into a fire dragon, charging directly towards the wind shadow.

The Third Kazekage dodged the fire dragon's attack with a few quick movements, but before he could catch his breath, hundreds of wooden spears pierced through him.

"Wood Release - Cutting Technique".

The relentless attacks left the Third Kazekage flustered. He hastily formed a hand seal and used an Earth Release ninjutsu to envelop himself.

An Yan revealed a cold smile. If they were outside, the Wind Shadow would be protected by Earth Release, and most experts would not easily go forward to check, for fear of falling into a trap. But it was different inside the domain. An Yan could clearly sense the Wind Shadow's location.

An Yan opened his left and right hands, each holding a Rasengan.

Following the Wind Release Rasengan, these are the Earth Release Rasengan and Fire Release Rasengan. Although they are not as powerful as the Sage Art Rasenshuriken, they each have their own unique advantages.

An Yan unleashed an Earth Release: Rasengan, instantly turning everything outside the Third Kazekage's ninjutsu protection area into a puddle of soft mud. Even the Earth Prison formed by the ninjutsu began to soften, slowly sinking into the ground and turning into a swamp.

As the Third Kazekage watched himself being sucked into the ground, he rapidly formed hand seals. Using Earth Release, he clapped his hands together, causing the surrounding earth to rise and lifting him out of the swamp. The environment transformed from a swamp into ordinary land.

However, just as Kazekage was casting his technique, An Yan appeared behind him without him noticing and struck him with a Fire Release: Rasengan.

This time I felt right.

The scorching Rasengan roasted the Kazekage's internal organs, and smoke billowed from his body, just like Guy after opening the Gate of Death. His skin was cracked, and he was clearly beyond saving.

After a series of battles, Fengying was finally caught off guard by Anyan, who delivered a fatal blow.

Chapter 71 The Sand Ninja Surrender

When An Yan appeared on the battlefield with the corpse of the Third Kazekage, the outcome of the battle was self-evident.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. The Third Kazekage, the Sand Village's strongest warrior, had actually died here!

The fighting spirit in the eyes of the Sand Ninja vanished quickly. Without uttering a word, they retreated silently without hesitation.

The Sand Ninja retreated immediately, and the Konoha members tacitly refrained from pursuing them. The battle had already been decided, and there was no need for further pointless fighting.

Moreover, if the Sand Village is really pushed too far, many more people from Konoha will die.

A few days later, Chiyo and Ebizo, the last two capable members of the Sand Village, officially announced their unconditional surrender to Konoha on behalf of the Sand Village.

After discussion, the Konoha leadership decided that the Third Hokage would send Koharu Utatane to conduct the next round of talks. Danzo had originally wanted to come, but because Danzo was a militant, Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried that Danzo would cause trouble and ruin the hard-won peace, so he stopped him from coming.

While Koharu and Chiyo were arguing about war reparations, in a makeshift laboratory on the border of the Land of Fire, An'yan and Orochimaru were busy dissecting the Third Kazekage.

The Magnet Release technique developed from Shukaku is indeed very valuable for research. Even Hiruko traveled all the way from Konoha to join An'yan and Orochimaru's research.

Under the shadowless light, the Third Kazekage's body lay on the cold experimental table, his abdomen cut open, with many parts already removed.

“Incredible…” Orochimaru, wearing sterile gloves, carefully fiddled with the parts he had taken from the Third Kazekage. A wisp of pale blue Magnet Release chakra swirled around his fingertips, and his snake-like eyes were filled with fascination.

"With a mortal body, he mastered magnetism and controlled it with such finesse. He mastered and sublimated the power of the One-Tailed Beast."

"Magnetic force that mortals can control is far more useful than the innate power of the One-Tailed Fox."

An Yan manipulated the microscope, recording the changes in tissue cells under special chakra stimulation, while chatting with Orochimaru.

“Magnetic Release, a technique that can be passed down, is far more valuable than Shukaku’s Magnet Release talent.”

Hiruko operated the complex instruments with incredible speed, a waterfall of data scrolling across the screen. Thanks to the vast database and standardized processes that Konoha had built up over the years in the field of bloodline limit research, their efficiency was astonishing.

"Basic energy structure analysis complete... Coupling point between chakra meridians and magnetic field identified... Core gene sequence fragment extracted..."

Hiruko reported the progress of the experiment at a rapid pace, his voice tinged with fatigue but also with immense excitement: "We have successfully established the chakra model of Magnet Release."

The collaborative efforts of three top researchers have produced an amazing chemical reaction.

In less than three days, a complete set of detailed information about Magnet Release bloodline limit—from basic principles, chakra circulation paths, gene expression characteristics to preliminary training methods and application techniques—was compiled into a book and sealed in a scroll marked "Top Secret".

This means that from this moment on, the Konoha Ninja Academy archives will have an additional bloodline limit direction that Konoha itself can select and cultivate—Magnet Release.

In the future battlefields of Konoha, a new generation of ninjas who can manipulate iron sand and control magnetism may emerge.

From today onwards, Konoha can also have its own Magnet Release ninja.
