Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 136: The Nine Seals of the Illusory Dragon

The appearance of Granny Chiyo silenced everyone in the council chamber.

Only Temari breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, she didn't have to hold on any longer.

Although she became Gaara's bodyguard because of her relationship with him, she was insignificant and couldn't argue with Granny Chiyo.

Not to mention that she couldn't match his influence.

He had been in power for decades and wasn't easily toppled.

If he insisted on not saving Gaara, perhaps everyone present would give up.

It can only be said that everything was the fault of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Gaara had been assassinated since he was young.

It was called testing the stability of the Jinchūriki.

I really don't know what kind of theory this is.

Even if it were placed on a normal person, they wouldn't be able to bear it, let alone Gaara.

This also led to Gaara occasionally losing control, leaving a disastrous impression on the residents of Sunagakure.

Even if he became the Kazekage, he couldn't erase the inherent impression people had of him.

It must be said that Gaara was quite pitiful.

Granny Chiyo sat in the Kazekage's seat.

No one objected.

From the Third Kazekage to the Fifth Kazekage, Granny Chiyo had already experienced the Third Kazekage.

But she was not only living long, her strength also ranked among the strongest in Sunagakure.

In terms of puppetry, no one could surpass her except for the defected Akasuna no Sasori.

"I am aware of the situation," Granny Chiyo said coldly. "Although Akatsuki is powerful, how will outsiders view Sunagakure if the Kazekage is captured and not rescued? You people have stayed in the village for too long and have lost your spirit."

Although Fuyu was very unhappy, he couldn't find any reason to refute.

And he didn't dare to confront Granny Chiyo.

Compared to the unstable Gaara, she was the most powerful woman in Sunagakure.

Most of the people present had received her favor.

"For now, let's put this matter aside. The important thing is to rescue Gaara."

Granny Chiyo stood up and said, "Akatsuki only has two people. Without space-time ninjutsu, they won't be able to leave the Land of Wind so quickly. As long as we intercept them in time, we can save Gaara. Therefore, to speed up, we don't need a large force to pursue them."

She glanced at the people in the chamber and fell into a moment of contemplation, but soon made a decision.

"Fuyu, Baki, Kankuro, and Temari, the four of you come with me. We will go to the place where Gaara disappeared."

Baki was Gaara's teacher and supporter.

In addition, he was powerful, so it was natural to bring him along.

As for Fuyu, even he was a little surprised.

After the conversation just now, he had already revealed his identity as an opponent of Gaara.

Isn't it just asking for trouble to let him go?

But he quickly understood the reason.

Granny Chiyo was worried that he would cause trouble if left behind, so she simply brought him along.

Although Fuyu was unwilling in his heart, his body could only be forced to participate.

He led the four of them to the place where Gaara was taken.

Granny Chiyo looked around and quickly noticed the slightly different color of the sand.

Only Gaara's gourd sand had this texture.

Due to the desert, much of it had been buried.

But fortunately, not all of it had disappeared.

After Granny Chiyo explained, except for Fuyu, the other three showed excited expressions.

"Gaara is truly remarkable to leave clues in such a crisis," Baki praised.

In fact, it was left by Li Xiang.

"Enough talk, let's set off immediately."

Granny Chiyo leaped up and quickly disappeared.

The four of them hurriedly followed.

At this time, Hoshigaki Kisame and Li Xiang had already arrived at a mountain range in the northeast border of the Land of Wind.

Rain Shinobi Village was too far away, and going back would waste time.

Moreover, it would be easy for people to guess that Akatsuki's base was in Rain Shinobi Village.

This would inadvertently bring danger to Rain Shinobi Village.

At least Sunagakure and Iwagakure might directly invade with a large army.

The best way was to find a hidden place to perform the tailed beast extraction ritual.

Following the map given by Nagato, Li Xiang arrived at a deep cave in Yamanaka's stream.

A profound mountain cave came into view.

After they entered, a huge stone fell and blocked the entrance.

In the dim environment, Hoshigaki Kisame dropped Gaara.

After a moment, the colorful illusion of the Deva Path Pain appeared.

It was the Body Flicker Technique.

He glanced at Gaara, didn't say anything, and began forming hand seals.

Immediately, the ground shook.

A behemoth rose from his back.

It was none other than the Gedo Statue.

Its hands emerged from the ground, forming ten stone pillars.

The Deva Path Pain landed on his middle finger and said lightly, "You two, take your positions."

Hoshigaki Kisame and Li Xiang randomly chose two stone pillars.

After a moment, illusions kept appearing.

Konan, Juzo, Deidara, Kakuzu, Hidan, Aoi, Deva Path Pain, Li Xiang.

Plus two Jonin from the Rain Shinobi Village.

A total of ten people.

Because the Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals required ten people to perform.

The effect of this ninjutsu is to extract the tailed beasts from the Jinchuriki and seal them into the Gedo Statue.

"Before we begin, Juzo, send out White Zetsu clones to investigate nearby. If you find any Sunagakure ninja, report it immediately."

Deva Path Pain said in a deep voice, "For the next three days, I won't allow anyone to disturb us."

"No problem."

Juzo smiled and said, "Sunagakure ninja are nothing special, after all, the strongest one is right in front of us."

He was referring to Sasori, Chiyos grandson, the strongest puppeteer in the ninja world.

In the original work, he died at the hands of Chiyo and Haruno Sakura.

Of course, from the battle situation, it is highly likely that he was holding back.

Sasori is actually very similar to Deidara.

Their betrayal of the ninja village was not because they lacked emotions, but because the ninja village did not support their ninjutsu.

The former violated the rules by using ninjas as puppets, while the latter simply bombed everything, causing severe damage to Iwagakure.

"Begin."

Deva Path Pain raised his finger and said coldly.

The others immediately stopped talking and made the same hand seals.

The stone pillars they were on lit up with a blue-green light.

In the light, a word condensed.

Each word represented their respective code names.

The Gedo Statue above Deva Path Pain's head opened its mouth and nine blue dragons formed by Chakra poured out.

The giant dragons descended from the sky and entered Gaara's body.

In an instant, he was enveloped in light.

A few seconds later, screams rang out.

Blood-red pillars of light flew out from Gaara's eyes, mouth, ears, and other places, heading towards the Gedo Statue.

The ritual officially began.

Three days later, all of Shukaku's Chakra will be extracted.

Li Xiang suddenly felt that Fa Yi's method seemed more effective.

But the goal of the Akatsuki organization is to return Shukaku to the Gedo Statue itself.

In the end, the nine tailed beasts will gather and the Ten-Tails will reappear in the world.

The difficulty is different, so the speed is very slow.

Li Xiang maintained the Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals.

He was taught this sealing technique by Konan on his first day joining the Akatsuki organization.

In a sense, the Akatsuki organization has ten members because of it.

The time quickly reached the third day.

It has to be said that Chakra is versatile.

In the past, going without food for three days and nights would make one hungry and think about eating everything.

But Li Xiang felt it was okay.

Not as hungry as he imagined.

At this moment, Juzo opened his eyes and said, "Five Jonin from Sunagakure have arrived nearby, led by a small, elderly woman."

Sasori immediately glanced at him.

Although the illusion couldn't show any expression, it was clear that he was no longer as calm as before.

Sunagakure, and an elderly woman, it's obvious that it's Chiyo.

"Five Jonin, this lineup is quite impressive."

Hoshigaki Kisame grinned, but there was no panic in his tone.

Here, only he and Li Xiang were the real bodies.

If there's a need to intercept, they are the most suitable.

The rest of the people can also help, but they can only use the Phantom Technique.

A special ability from the Rinnegan.

Create a clone using a living sacrifice.

It probably only has 30% of the original's chakra, but it can use the original's weapons and bloodline limit.

For ordinary ninjas, it's not very useful.

But the members of the Akatsuki organization are all experts, even with only 30%, they are comparable to the average Jōnin.

Especially ninjas like Hoshigaki Kisame, who have an abundance of chakra.

In the original work, with only 30%, he forced Might Guy to open the Sixth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates and defeated him with the Peacock technique.

If it were another Jōnin, they would most likely kneel.

But this technique requires a living sacrifice.

Hoshigaki Kisame and Li Xiang did not bring a living sacrifice like the Scorpion in the original work, who brought the Anbu from Sunagakure.

There is currently no suitable sacrifice.

"There's one more hour."

Pain of the Deva Path did not hesitate and ordered, "Hoshigaki Kisame and Yayu, go and intercept. After the time is up, you can leave on your own."

"Yes."

Li Xiang jumped off the stone pillar.

Except for him and Hoshigaki Kisame, the rest are all illusions, so it's quite easy to leave.

As for Gaara, there's no need to worry.

He was extracted to guard the crane, and it's a situation where he's bound to die.

Pain of the Deva Path and the others won't be idle and try to finish him off.

But according to Granny Chiyo's Forbidden Technique, unless Gaara turns into minced meat, he can be saved.

A giant rock rises.

Sunlight shines in.

Li Xiang squinted his eyes and left the cave.

The giant rock falls again.

In addition to obscuring the line of sight, a barrier is also set up outside.

Even if Hoshigaki Kisame and Li Xiang unfortunately die, the people of Sunagakure will have to put in some effort to get in.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Can't start by setting a flag.

Li Xiang stands by the river and thinks.

In the original work, there were also five people who came.

They were Chiyo, Kakashi, and the Uzumaki Naruto team.

But it's definitely different now.

But according to Jue's description, Chiyo is definitely there.

The remaining four.

It's possible that it's Baki, Kankuro, and Temari.

After all, there aren't many well-known Jōnin in Sunagakure.

Regardless, he and Hoshigaki Kisame both appear to be quite dangerous.

Especially him.

Hoshigaki Kisame and Samehada's combination is simply endless.

Plus, he has a lot of chakra, so there's no problem at all.

But he's not the same.

Li Xiang estimates that he probably can't defeat Chiyo alone.

The others might be able to put up a fight.

But at most, it would be two.

He definitely can't handle three.

Putting aside his combat experience, he's just an ordinary Jōnin.

But he also has an advantage.

The bloodline of the True Ancestor makes him unable to die.

But he'll try to avoid being hit if possible.

His plan later is to let Hoshigaki Kisame attract the firepower.

Then he'll take action depending on the situation.

Anyway, just drag it out for an hour.

After a while, the sound of rushing wind comes from a distance.

In an instant, it arrives in front of them.

Li Xiang glanced and, as expected, it was just as he expected.

Except for the unfamiliar Jōnin, Fuyi, the rest are quite familiar.

"Where's Gaara?"

Temari has a hot temper and immediately starts questioning when they meet.

On the other hand, Chiyo is more cunning, scanning her surroundings and quickly noticing the giant rocks in the river.

Hoshigaki Kisame sneered and formed hand seals.

Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!

Infinite chakra transformed into a surging ocean.

Even though Li Xiang knew that his chakra was abundant, he didn't expect such an outrageous scene right from the start.

In an instant, his location was completely submerged by the rushing water.

His field of vision was mostly blue.

The ocean descended.

The range was more than a thousand miles.

Chiyo and the others were shocked.

It was truly unbelievable!

They were not clear about Hoshigaki Kisame's identity, but as soon as this ninjutsu was used, they immediately understood how troublesome he was.

Temari took out the large fan from behind and swung it forcefully.

Tornado Hurricane!

A tornado appeared out of thin air in front of her, blowing the incoming waves back.

The waves split in the middle.

Chiyo's expression became serious as she said, "They disappeared, everyone be careful!"

At this moment, chakra appeared under their feet, allowing them to stand on the surface of the sea.

Kankuro looked at his feet and couldn't see the bottom.

This kind of chakra was truly astonishing.

"They're coming!" Chiyo reminded.

The surface of the sea continuously arched, and in the next moment, countless sharks appeared.

Shark Skin!

Under Hoshigaki Kisame's control, the sharks surged towards them, covering the sky and earth.

Chiyo took out a scroll.

After a burst of smoke, ten puppets dressed in white appeared.

White Secret Technique: Kinsatsu Jinnin!

Chiyo's fingers quickly flicked.

Three puppets gathered together, forming the shape of the character 'crowd'.

They simultaneously formed hand seals.

A violent whirlwind immediately blew out from the gap in the middle.

The rushing sharks were immediately swept in and turned into dust in an instant.

Various weapons emerged from the remaining puppets' bodies. With the cooperation of Temari and the others' attacks, they managed to kill all the sharks in a moment.

But it had no meaning for Hoshigaki Kisame.

A larger shark suddenly appeared and opened its mouth, biting towards Chiyo.

Temari saw this and the fan in her hand flashed again.

The storm turned into sharp blades that pierced into the shark's mouth.

But to her surprise, it was useless.

This huge shark actually absorbed all the chakra.

Chiyo quickly manipulated the nearest puppet to rush in front of the shark. A scroll flew out from its body, turning into an earth wall.

While the others were engaged in a heated battle, Li Xiang was lurking in the water.

As a Water Style ninja and a member of the Kagetsu clan, he was like a fish in water.

It was fortunate that it was Hoshigaki Kisame.

Otherwise, the other ninjas wouldn't have the ability to create such a perfect environment for him.

Li Xiang formed hand seals.

His target was Fugai.

Because he noticed that this guy had already separated from the other four ninjas.

Besides protecting himself, he didn't care when Chiyo and the others were attacked.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see the contradiction.

He was just slacking off.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to slack off and blend in.

But White Zetsu was nearby, so it would be too obvious if only Hoshigaki Kisame took action.

Water Style: Instant Water!

Li Xiang shuttled through the water at an extremely fast speed, instantly appearing behind Fugai and locking his hands around his neck, dragging him underwater.

This was a unique ninjutsu from the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Apart from various miscellaneous Forbidden Techniques, if he were to say the strongest Mizukage, no one would object.
