Konoha: Starting from Sage Transformation

"It's Shukaku, that monster is here."

In Sunagakure's base camp, a certain Jonin shouted with a look of horror.

He had seen this monster when he was a young genin, and had seen with his own eyes many of his seniors who were invincible in his eyes were killed by this monster like bugs, so he still remembered everything about this monster.

Now that he heard Shukaku's voice again, the despair and powerlessness he felt when facing this monster immediately came to his mind. Strong fear suddenly surged into his heart, and he instantly lost the courage to fight it.

For a moment, the thought of living quietly began to grow rapidly in his heart, and then he decisively abandoned his companions and subconsciously ran in the direction of Sunagakure Village.

There is no chance of winning, and only by escaping back to Sand Hidden Village can there be a chance of survival.

This was the only thought in this Jonin's heart at this time.

Not only this Sunagakure Jonin has this idea, but many other Jonin who are no longer young have this idea, that is, those young middle genin who have not personally experienced how terrifying Shukaku is before they rush out. A head-on confrontation with Shukaku.

If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Because Ebizo of the martial arts faction died in the battle, Sha Yun, a moderate, has now become the frontline commander of the Sunagakure camp. When he saw a large number of ninjas disobeying orders and escaping without authorization, he was almost furious, but no matter how angry he shouted, He brought a group of backbone forces to block it, but the effect was still minimal.

"Damn Ebizo, he will die sooner or later, but he died on the battlefield and lost one of his tails. As a result, I was asked to clean up this mess. Why am I so unlucky?"

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Sha Yun said with a look of despair.

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, he first failed to manage the extreme militant elements in the army, allowing the enemy to take advantage of it and instigating them to attack Konoha, causing a catastrophe. Now he lost the front line area. Even if he goes back alive, he will definitely be beaten to the end.

When he thought that the power he had worked so hard for most of his life was gone overnight, Sha Yun felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

"Clan leader, stop talking. Shukaku is coming soon. As long as we live, with our family's status in Sunagakure, you will definitely be able to make a comeback."

Seeing that Sha Yun was about to collapse, one of Sha Yun's confidants quickly comforted him.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and heartbroken that the moderate leader behaved so badly at a critical moment.

"Escape? Where to escape? We are already surrounded. There is no way to escape."

After hearing this, Sha Yun still said desperately.

Although his personal strength is not as strong as Ebizo's, he is a rare perceptive ninja, and his perceptive ability is very good.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to quickly discover a group of Uchiha ninjas led by Chizuru after they broke into the military camp.

Unfortunately, because the Third Kazekage was eager to go to the Land of Rain to take advantage, he took advantage of the peace talks between Sunagakure and Konoha to draw many elite ninjas from the fighting sect in the army to go to the Land of Rain. There were not many strong men left in the army. There are too many, and they can't stop a group of Uchiha ninjas who are like wolves and tigers.

In the end, a group of fighting ninjas were taken away by Chizuru and other Uchiha ninjas using illusion control.

Now, relying on his excellent perception ability, he could clearly discover that there was a large amount of Shukaku's chakra in the sandstorm that enveloped Sunagakure's base camp, and that there was a large amount of chakra reaction outside the Salon roll that formed the sandstorm.

If his guess was correct, the people outside the salon were all Konoha ninjas, and these people were waiting for them to break out of the salon formed by Shukaku, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Moreover, there are chakra reactions of multiple Jonin levels and above in all directions. It can be seen that the Konoha ninjas are well prepared. In order to kill them, they must have laid a dragnet outside.

"Chief, you are the commander-in-chief. Now is not the time to say these depressing words. The power of the sandstorm is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't break out now, we will have no chance. Should we just stay here and wait to die?"

Hearing that Sha Yun still didn't plan to escape, his confidants felt anxious and continued to persuade him.

Sha Yun was silent. How could he not know that the sandstorm was getting stronger and stronger, but it also proved that the hope of escape was getting smaller and smaller.

Of course he personally didn't want to die. Since the hope of escape was very slim, it was better not to escape. The chance of staying alive would be greater.

He is Sha Yun, the leader of the moderate Sunagakure faction, and he is of great use. He does not think that he will be killed if he chooses to surrender.

That's right, after discovering that there was little chance of escape, his first thought was to give up resistance and surrender to survive.

For Sha Yun, this is not an unacceptable thing. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is better than risking a huge risk to break out of the sandstorm like other Sunagakure ninjas, only to be hit by a large number of dense hidden in the sandstorm before they can break out. The air blade was cut into pieces and then buried in yellow sand.

How can it be so easy to break out of the sandstorm created by Shukaku? Except for the ninjas who can escape into the ground, other ninjas running on the ground will be immediately attacked by countless wind escapers in the sandstorm once they are exposed to the sandstorm. The wind blade attack formed by Carat.

Ordinary middle genin simply don't have the ability to survive such a terrifying sandstorm for a long time. Only jounin with many means can break out of the sandstorm.

But the sandstorm is only the first line of defense. There are many Konoha ninjas waiting for work outside, and the chance of escape is really slim.

Instead of fighting for the tiny chance of escape, he felt that the chance of surrendering and surviving was actually greater.

On the other side, outside the salon, Shukaku's more than 20-meter-tall body was running happily on the sand, like a dog that had been locked up for a long time and was having fun outside.

But the huge noise it made while having fun was considered by a nearby Konoha elite ninja to be hysterically mad, destroying everywhere and venting their dissatisfaction.

However, even though most of its energy was spent on having fun, it still used Wind Release Chakra combined with its unique sand manipulation ability to create a huge salon roll to surround Sunagakure's base camp, leaving no chance for Sunagakure inside to escape. Chance.

"Chizuru, are Kirito okay? This big tanuki is getting more and more violent. It's not really out of control."

Outside the sandstorm, the rope tree standing on a huge sand dune looked at Shukaku who was having fun not far away, and asked Qianzuru beside him with some worry.

As soon as these words came out, many nearby Konoha ninjas pricked up their ears to listen and turned their attention to Chizuru, Kirito's most trusted partner.

The question asked by the rope tree was what worried all of them.

They know that Kirito is very powerful, but tailed beasts, creatures that are beyond common sense, cannot be overestimated. They heard that Shukaku was released by Kirito on his own initiative, saying that he asked Shukaku to use all his strength. The conditions for taking action against Sunagakure.

And Shukaku was getting more and more violent, looking like he was out of control.

If Shukaku hadn't attacked them without distinction between friend and foe, they would have almost thought that Kirito had lost control of Shukaku.

At this time, Qianzhe's body was covered with blood-stained bandages, her face was very pale, and her whole body was a little sluggish.

Obviously, Chizuru's mission to sneak into Sunagakure's base camp did not go smoothly. A fierce battle broke out and she was seriously injured in the battle.

In fact, only five of the thirteen Uchiha ninjas who performed this mission came back alive.

Uchiha Kaze was also involved in this operation. He was unlucky and was besieged by three Sunagakure Jonin. Even though he activated the curse seal and temporarily raised his combat power to the Jonin level, he still failed to come back alive and finally committed suicide. Shi's fire escape ninjutsu pulled a Sunagakure jounin to death together, leaving no remains of his body.

War is so cruel. If you are not strong enough, if you are unlucky and are besieged by a large number of enemies of the same level, you will die.

"Instead of worrying about him, you might as well worry about yourself. You look so sick. Instead of staying in the military camp to rest, you have to come here to join in the fun and become a burden."

Chizuru heard Naoshu's words and deliberately raised his voice.

"I'm not a burden. Just wait. I'll kill a ninja who breaks out of the sandstorm for you to see."

When Qianhe said this, Naoki suddenly felt like a cat whose tail was guessed, and said with fury.

After saying that, he ran away angrily, staring in the direction of the sandstorm.

After a while, he successfully discovered that a Sunagakure Jonin puppet master broke out of the sandstorm with the help of the machine-light shield sealing mechanism on the puppet.

Without waiting for the other Konoha ninjas to take action, he decisively used the Eight Gates Armor Technique, opening four gates in one breath, instantly bursting out with a terrifying speed that exceeded the elite Jonin, and then used the secret of Konoha Taijutsu: Konoha Dragon God General The enemy was killed on the spot.

After easily killing an enemy Jonin, Naoki looked at Chizuru triumphantly and shouted: "I am not a burden."

Seeing this, Chizuru just snorted coldly, and then looked at Shukaku who was still 'crazy' in the distance, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Tsunade's younger brother has grown up too, Minato, you have to work harder."

On a sand dune outside the sandstorm, Orochimaru witnessed Nasuki combining the Eight Gate Dungeon and the Konoha Dragon God to easily kill a Sunagakure Jonin puppet master, and he didn't seem to lose any strength afterward. He immediately spit out a small part of his tongue and licked it. He licked his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He has studied the forbidden physical technique of the Eight Gates of Armor. Unfortunately, his body is not suitable for practicing this kind of physical technique, and he personally does not have the time to practice this physical technique for a long time, which requires a lot of time to polish the body. practice.

But this did not prevent him from knowing the power of this physical technique.

Once a ninja who practices this forbidden taijutsu can open the four gates, he will have the strength of a jounin level in a short period of time, and if the practitioner's physique is very good, the strength that can be improved will be even greater.

However, the physical sequelae of gaining great strength in a short period of time are also very serious. Once the time passes, it can range from instantaneous loss of strength to death on the spot.

And Naoki was able to open the four gates when he was only 11 years old, and he looked relaxed after the completion. This shows that he is very talented in practicing the art of eight gates of armor. His physique is a mixture of the blood of the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan. Very suitable for practicing this forbidden physical technique.

At this moment, Orochimaru saw from the rope tree a taijutsu ninja beyond the shadow level rising slowly like the rising sun, with amazing potential.

"The bloodlines of the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan are indeed unique."

Orochimaru looked at Naoki's stupid and not very smart look, and was filled with emotion.

Minato was also feeling a little emotional about the strength of the rope tree at this time. He did not expect that the strength of the rope tree had made such a big breakthrough recently. It had only been a few days since he had seen it. It was really incredible that his strength had improved so much.

He had just competed with Rope Tree in the arena a few days ago. With the terrifying speed of Flying Thunder God, he defeated Rope Tree.

But now, Rope Tree is wary of his Flying Thunder God Technique. With the strength Rope Tree has shown now, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to defeat Rope Tree again. The amount of chakra in the opponent's body is no joke. Give it to him. It feels at least two or three times more powerful than Orochimaru-sensei.

"Teacher Orochimaru, please rest assured, I will definitely work harder to practice and not let you down."

Minato responded with a serious look on his face.

He is now desperately chasing Kirito. He thought he should be the person closest to Kirito among his peers, but now it seems that there are many people chasing behind him, and some of them are already quite close to him, which makes him feel... A strong sense of urgency.

"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. I'm very satisfied with your current growth rate. As long as you practice step by step, your Flying Thunder God Technique will definitely become famous in the ninja world in the future."

Orochimaru understood Minato's inner anxiety and persuaded him.

What he said was true. Minato, who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, was destined to achieve extraordinary things in the future, and in his opinion, even if the rope tree opened the door to death in the future, he would not be Minato's opponent.

In the future, as long as Minato solves the problem of insufficient physical fitness and chakra, he will be able to dominate the world by relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Moreover, Minato's outstanding talent is not only in practicing the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but also in other ninjutsu. It is not as good as the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu he taught, which is even better than him.

In his eyes, Minato was the most talented ninja he had ever seen, second only to Kirito.

And who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Kirito is already showing off his talents at a young age, and his achievements in the future may not necessarily be higher than Minato's.

"I understand, Mr. Orochimaru, I won't act out of emotion and compete for the short term. I will live well. After all, I want to be Hokage in the future, and I can't die so quickly."

Minato received encouragement from Orochimaru and said with a smile.

Although his teacher usually behaves a little strangely and has a somewhat eccentric style, he really has nothing to say about his teachings. He sincerely trains him as a disciple of Yibo, even giving him the precious Longdi Cave psychic scroll. .

In this regard, he must not be able to live up to the expectations of Orochimaru-sensei, and will do his best to help Orochimaru-sensei become the fourth-generation Hokage, and then become the fifth-generation Hokage himself.

"This child is indeed talented, but like me, he lacks outstanding blood, and he resists my body modification technology. It will be very difficult to break through the physical fitness and chakra capacity of ordinary people in the future, and we must find a way."

Orochimaru looked at the smile on Minato's face, and then looked at the rope tree that was still shouting proudly, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

. . .

As time goes by, fewer and fewer ninjas can break out of the sandstorm, and the overall situation seems to have been determined.

Shukaku was still having fun, but when he was getting ready, Kirito's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "It's almost time, let's do it. It won't take long for the people from Sunagakure Village to come here to provide support."

"What's the rush? I haven't had enough fun yet."

Shukaku replied dissatisfied.

"Don't force me to lock you back now. Your little tricks won't work. Even if you come out at the same time, you won't be able to break the seal in my body. You have been in my body for a while, so you should be very clear about your investigation. Carat cannot erode my seal.”

Seeing Shukaku's refusal, Kirito reminded him faintly.

This Shukaku seemed carefree, very sloppy, and a little naive, but in fact, he was a very clever man. He had been secretly eroding the seal in his body since he came out.

Not to mention, this Shukaku is indeed a tailed beast that also masters the sealing technique. Its chakra control is so good that ordinary ninjas may not be able to tell that it is secretly breaking the seal.

But how could Kirito not notice Shukaku's little moves? He just didn't care, because Shukaku's chakra is essentially just ordinary chakra after all, and it is incomparable to the magic chakra. It is impossible to break the chakra created by him. Sealed with magic chakra.

At least while he was alive, this was an impossible task for Shukaku.

"Hmph, you stinking human being, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, I will break your sealing technique."

When Shukaku saw that his little move was discovered, he suddenly became a little angry and made more noise outside.

But after all, he did not continue to be willful. After about a minute, it finally stopped playing and slowly approached the Sandgakure base camp that was covered by a sandstorm. Then with a wave of his hand, the sandstorm began to disappear quickly, revealing the Sandgakure that was almost buried in yellow sand. Base camp.

Then, Shukaku said loudly: "Come out, little bugs inside. I'll give you a minute. If you don't come out, I will personally take you out of the sand."

The sound was deafening. Sha Yun and others who were hiding in the sand-covered Sunagakure base camp were shocked when they heard the sound and hesitated whether to take the initiative to come out now.

At this moment, the Suna ninja who are still in the Sunagakure base camp are basically smart, and they don't want to die.

Soon, some Sand Ninjas emerged from the sand, and then looked at the hill-like Shukaku with fearful expressions, raising their hands in the air to show their harmless surrender.

Shukaku looked at these cowering Sand Ninjas, and there was a familiar figure among them. His huge golden eyes instantly showed strong murderous intent. He ignored what Kirito said to it on the spot and slapped Sand Cloud in the face. past.

After he was captured by Sunagakure, this human had spied on it many times and tortured his good friend to share his blessings.

Damn this sand ninja!

Shukaku suddenly made a move, and Kirito couldn't stop him for a while. Just as Sha Yun was about to slap Shukaku to death, a stream of black iron sand suddenly surged out from the ground, forming a huge fist of iron sand, and it hit Shukaku. Crane's hands touched.
