Chapter 229: The God Save Kirigakure
Chapter 229: The God Save Kirigakure
Uehara was a little arrogant.
Well, maybe more than a little.
Sasori and Deidara couldn’t help but look at Uehara. How could someone like him say that she almost hurt his finger?
But to be honest, Uehara really had the qualifications to say that.
Just now, when Terumi used the fire to detonate the acid, Uehara casually set up another layer of defensive light shield and blocked the explosion.
This kind of battle really made people feel despair.
Terumi, who was obviously launching an attack, was sent flying by the shock wave brought by the explosion. There were many injuries in her body, but Uehara and the others in the center of the explosion were not even hurt.
Terumi’s hair slightly trembled, and her dark green eyes flashed with horror and uneasiness. Even her surprise attack ninjutsu could not hurt them, then what should she do to stop Akatsuki’s group!
If even she was defeated, then no one would be able to stop them!
Terumi forced himself to stand up, and nervously looked at the three people, and slowly circulate the chakra in her body.
“Don’t show this expression, Your Excellency Terumi!”
Uehara couldn’t help but smile, slowly walked towards Terumi, and slowly said, “Ninjas can’t only fight and kill, but also learn the ways of the world. In this aspect, you are much stronger than others…”
Uehara tilted his head and raised an example, “For example, we, Akatsuki, want to capture Sanbi. Just now, I heard you mention that you took the initiative to transfer back to the ninja forces stationed near Sanbi. Isn’t this very tactful?”
“Bastard!”
Terumi gritted his teeth and a stream of water gushed out from his mouth. It gathered into a water whip, “Suiton, Suiben (Water Release: Water Whip)!”
The water whip suddenly attacked Uehara!
Uehara casually reached out and grabbed the water whip. He suddenly used the water whip to drag Terumi to his side!
Uehara suddenly released the whip and pinched Terumi’s chin with one hand. He gently stroked her long hair with the other hand, revealing her full appearance.
Uehara chuckled and rubbed her cheek, “Really… I can’t tell that this face is a woman in her thirties at all!”
“Bastard!”
Terumi was furious!
Terumi shook her head and broke free from Uehara’s grip. She opened her mouth and was about to spit out a corrosive acid at Uehara!
Bang!
Uehara turned over and kicked Terumi on the neck. He kicked Terumi and sent her flying. The strongest ninja in Kirigakure fell into the ruins with her head up and fainted.
Sasori closed his eyes, speechless. He shook his head and sighed, “You are really bad!”
“I have already shown mercy.”
Uehara looked at the unconscious Terumi and chuckled, “Back then, this woman thought that I was a stray in Country of Water and gave me a bag of biscuits. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let her go so easily.”
“What else do you want?”
Deidara couldn’t help but rub his forehead. He looked at Uehara speechlessly, “Your way of showing mercy is really special… I feel that your arrogant attitude just now was even crueler than killing her!”
“Alright, let’s go!”
Uehara waved at the sky. An ancient dragon descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
Uehara was the first to jump onto the head of the ancient dragon and stroke its scales, “Let’s go, Sasori-senpai, Deidara. Let’s go and see how Sasuke is doing!”
Sasori jumped onto the dragon’s back and looked at Uehara in confusion, “Eh? You won’t do anything before you leave?”
“Of course I’ll do something.”
Uehara nodded and slowly extended his palm.
The chakra within his body gathered bit by bit, “Fūton, Renkūdan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)!”
The effect of Wind Power was too powerful, enough for Uehara to use any wind ninjutsu. Even Ichibi’s wind ninjutsu did not have any pressure in using it.
Sasori was slightly surprised as he looked at the wind ball gathered in Uehara’s hand, “You can even use Ichibi’s Wind Ninjutsu?”
“Yes, I am a genius in Wind Ninjutsu!”
Uehara threw the ball of wind in his hand at the center of Kirigakure and chuckled, “Then let the wind destroy this place!”
The ball of wind suddenly fell to the ground!
In the next moment, the wind that gathered in the ball instantly swept everything around it, and even expanded the sea of fire that Pillar of Flame had created earlier!
“It’s actually even stronger than Ichibi’s Drilling Air Bullet…”
Sasori looked at the wind that swept out from the center of Kirigakure with a solemn gaze. He couldn’t help but look at Uehara, “Every time you destroy a Ninja Village, are you spreading the horror of Akatsuki?”
Deidara laughed and said, “Last time it was Sunagakure, this time it was Kirigakure, what village is next?”
“Idiot!”
Sasori couldn’t help but hold his forehead and said coldly, “We caught Sanbi. Yonbi Jinchuriki is in the organization’s base. Which village do you think will be destroyed next?”
“…”
Deidara’s expression changed. He suddenly looked at Uehara and muttered, “The next one is going to face that old man Onoki. That old man is not easy to deal with! The task of capturing Gobi Jinchuriki might not enough with just a few of us. “
As a former disciple of Onoki, Deidara knew how terrifying Dust Release was. If he was serious Onoki might be the strongest among the five Kage today.
“Let’s talk about it when the time comes!”
Uehara sat on the ancient dragon and looked down at the village that was ravaged by the fierce wind and flames. He gently patted the scales of the ancient dragon, “Well, there is no need to look at it. Let’s go!”
The reward for this attack on Kirigakure was already in his hands.
Unfortunately, there were not many ninjas who were defeated or killed by his last move this time. There were only about three to four thousand people.
Sunagakure’s situation was something that could only be encountered by luck.
After all, at that time, Sunagakure was still reorganizing its Ninja Army, so most of the Ninjas were gathered in the village.
Kirigakure’s Ninjas were divided into many batches, and many people were out on missions because the ocean in the Ninja World was basically dominated by Kirigakure.
Uehara looked at the profits brought by Dark Harvest, and if it really didn’t work out, he would wait for the Ninja World War to come again!
Dark Harvest: After defeating a Ninja, you will get a part of the strength from the enemy. Each time you increase your life energy by 10 points, chakra energy by 10 points, and natural energy by 10 points. Current accumulation: 189,750 points of life energy, 189,750 points of chakra energy, and 189,750 points of natural energy.
This battle also increased Uehara’s three-dimensional attributes by almost a quarter, directly increasing it to 250,000 points.
In addition, there were several other rewards.
[Side Mission: Defeat Ao(1/1).][Mission completed.][Reward skill: Heightened Senses. ]
[Heightened Senses: When you open your keen perception, everything from a kilometer away will appear in your vision. The skill has no cooldown time and has no consumption.]
This skill was still acceptable.
Although Uehara could use his Destiny to spy at any time, this skill did not need any Chakra. It could be activated permanently. The only uncomfortable part was that he might be seeing things.
[Side Mission: Defeat Terumi(1/1).][Mission completed.][Reward: 100 gold coins.]
It appeared again.
Did this woman not have any black spots?
No one actually wanted to defeat her?
Fortunately, there was still a reward that Uehara wanted the most.
[Side Mission: Successfully destroy Kirigakure(1/1).][Mission completed.][Reward: Passive innate skill – Water Power.]
[Water Power (Passive): Able to freely control Water attribute Chakra and use Water Released Ninjutsu at will. This is one of the components of Truth-Seeking Ball.]
Well, from today on, Uehara can be said to be the strongest water-style ninja!
Even if Tobirama was alive, it was impossible for him to be stronger than his water-style ninjutsu. Water Power was the ultimate water attribute of chakra nature change.
The most important thing was that as long as Uehara can find out how to obtain the Yin and Yang power, he should be able to condense a Truth-Seeking Ball!
Who would have thought that in the next moment, a new innate skill would appear on the system panel?
[Ice Power (Passive): Able to freely control Ice Attribute Chakra formed by Wind Power and Water Power, and use Ice Release Ninjutsu at will.]
“…”
Uehara began to touch his chin.
If he could freely create ice-release ninjutsu, he would inexplicably think of a bunch of messy moves, which seemed to be a bit interesting!
“Thank you for your reward, then I will use snow to put out the fire for you!”
Uehara snapped his fingers and rode the ancient dragon to take Deidara and Sasori to the place where Sanbi was.
After they left, the temperature of Kirigakure’s air quickly dropped, and the originally clear sky gradually began to have some more color.
Following that, the temperature actually became lower and lower. Not long after, it began to rain, followed by snow, and finally hail.
It was obvious that Uehara was not used to it.
The bad weather of this rain, snow, and hail might have caused a huge loss, but at this moment, it became the weather that saved Kirigakure’s life.
When Terumi, who was lying in the ruins, was awakened by the cold, she looked at the crackling hail in the air with some astonishment and walked back to the widest place in the village.
A group of civilians was kneeling on one knee on the ground, praying for the blessing of God. It was the mighty power of God that extinguished the fire, which allowed them to be reborn in the hands of Akatsuki and the others.
This was the miracle of his coming.
God did not want to see Kirigakure burn into ashes, so it rained down heavy rain and heavy snow, saving their village. Even if it was raining hail in the sky, it did not delay these people kneeling on the ground to thank God for his gift.
Of course, this was because God did not want to see the Kirigakure disappear and be destroyed. The power that was sent down in a hurry directly changed from rain to snow and then hail.
“What are you doing?”
Terumi coughed lightly and looked at the few Anbu in the surrounding. Among them was the little guy she had always thought highly of, Chojuro.
“Terumi-sama!”
Chojuro looked at Terumi in surprise and whispered, “Everyone is saying that the gods in the sky are protecting our village that’s why we can avoid this fire…”
“…”
After a long silence, Terumi did not respond to Chojuro. Instead, she dragged her injured body and left this place.
Was there really a blessing from the gods?
Terumi did not feel good. If the ninjas in the village could be stronger, how could it be possible for everyone to believe in the gods in this situation!
Terumi slowly walked to a place to avoid the hail. She squatted down and hugged her body tightly, just like an ordinary woman, trying to make her body feel warm.
At this moment, she did not have her previous image.
This woman who had been supporting Kirigakure all this time felt tired today. She had worked hard enough but did not protect her village.
In the end, it was the weather that saved the Ninja Village.
After a while, Terumi suddenly turned to look at the few Anbu who surround her. She whispered, “You guys go and command the reconstruction of the village. Chojuro, stay behind. I have something to tell you.”
“Yes, Terumi-sama.”
The Anbus jumped and left.
Terumi glanced at the only Anbu left behind and lowered her head again, “Chojuro, go to Konoha right now and tell our allies about our situation…”
“Yes.”
Chojuro nodded slightly and suddenly asked, “Terumi-sama, the troops stationed near Sanbi have returned. Do you want them to continue monitoring Sanbi?”
Terumi raised her head and looked at Chojuro as if she was looking at an immature child. A smile appeared on her face.
However, at this moment, the smile on her face was somewhat desolate, “There is no Sanbi anymore. Akatsuki attacked us just to let us know their horror. They did not hide their purpose at all. They just wanted to catch Sanbi.”
After Terumi finished speaking, she seemed to think of something. She slowly clenched her fist and stood up again, turning back into the dignified and solemn woman.
Terumi looked at Chojuro and whispered, “Also, go to the Anbu headquarter to find out the information about Rokubi Jinchuriki and invite Konoha to ambush Akatsuki in Rokubi’s hiding place!”
Since the purpose of Akatsuki’s organization was to capture Bijuu, then there was a great possibility that Rokubi would be attacked.
They might as well take this opportunity to ambush Akatsuki!
“By the way, tell Konoha.”
Terumi recovered her powerful momentum, looked at Chojuro beside her, and ordered in a deep voice, “If we ambush Akatsuki this time, we can take Amegakure’s people with us. Are they not the village that knows Akatsuki best? “
Most importantly…
Terumi really wanted to see Uehara again.
Because only Uehara had a chance of contacting Mangetsu.
