In the operating room of Konoha Hospital.
Yamato was lying on the operating table with his face pale and his eyes closed. Strange things like tree branches kept growing out of his broken arm.
Several medical ninjas were sweating coldly, and nurses were coming and going, operating on him while working part-time as gardeners.
This was the first time they had seen such strange symptoms.
If Lord Hokage hadn't sent top-secret information for reference, they would have been unable to do anything about this situation even if they scratched their heads.
Still, there was some scalp tingling.
"No, the cell activity and recovery ability are too high. He will recover before he can undergo delicate surgery. We can only barely guarantee that his cells will not run wild."
The medical ninja who performed the surgery was also sweating profusely and reported in a low voice to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing in the distance.
Although the remaining medical ninjas are still rescuing people, they also know that they are just racing against time.
Because Yamato was injured and comatose, the cells were unable to control themselves and could only be suppressed by external force.
But this is not a solution. Even if they use anesthetics, as long as they stop for a moment, the cells will backfire on the main body.
"...You do your best, and you can delay it as long as you can."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face wrinkled up under his mask, and he forcibly resisted the urge to smoke in the operating room.
According to Kakashi's mission report, Yamato used real wood escape.
This is Wood Release, the Wood Release of the First Hokage.
If Yamato died like this, Mudun might also disappear, and the loss to Konoha would be immeasurable.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yamato who was almost covered by branches on the operating table. Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out sadly and looked at the ANBU waiting outside.
"Jiraiya hasn't brought Tsunade back yet?!"
"Hokage-sama, the message has been sent, Jiraiya-sama should be on his way back."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to pace again, feeling very confused in his heart.
Until now, due to the appearance of Mudun, Kakashi has not bothered to study the "Grael Stone" he took back from Kawa no Kuni.
To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not sure whether Jiraiya could find Tsunade, let alone whether he could persuade Tsunade to come back.
But facing the current powerless situation, we can only pray that they come back as soon as possible.
However, the house leaked and it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was pacing back and forth anxiously, an ANBU squad leader suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Lord Hokage, the Hyuga clan suffered an unknown invasion. After the invaders were repelled, they fought with people outside the village. And, and..."
"And what! Say it!"
"The member on the other side who is suspected of being Akatsuki used a ninjutsu similar to Wood Release!"
As soon as these words came out, Sarutobi Hiruzen's breath suddenly stopped and his face turned red.
"Are you kidding me?!"
The Hyuga clan had been invaded more than once or twice, and to be honest, he had begun to get used to it.
but……
Chiyue? Wood escape?
Sarutobi Hiruzen understood the two words separately, but together he didn't understand them.
One is Konoha's unique blood inheritance limit, and the other is Konoha's undying organization.
How are the two connected? !
"Phew, I understand."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and then managed to recover.
Anbu would never joke about something like this.
It should be certain that the members of Chi Yue are fighting the invaders.
However, the members of Chi Yue used Wood Escape...
Someone from ANBU must have seen it wrong, or it must be a ninjutsu similar to wood release.
"Except for the person who led the villagers to the safe area, all the other ANBU ninjas are coming with me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, then jumped out of the window and walked out of the village.
No matter what, go and make sure for yourself.
At the same time that the entire Konoha Village was alarmed, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally took action.
In Konoha's training ground.
Kakashi, whose left eye was bandaged, stood there, slowly began to form seals with his hands, and softly shouted: "Raikiri!"
Suddenly, amid a sizzling sound, lightning flashed in his right hand.
Soon, the original dazzling blue lightning gradually turned into the purple thunder and lightning that was unleashed not long ago.
"...Is that so?"
After staring at the deep purple lightning on his right hand for a long time, Kakashi breathed out a breath and released Raikiri.
The "Purple Lightning" he accidentally successfully used in the Kawa Country was not reliable, so he rushed here to practice immediately after the eye replacement surgery was completed.
You must take the opportunity to remember this feeling to ensure complete mastery of "Purple Lightning" and the changing properties of thunder attribute chakra.
There is no doubt about Kakashi's talent. Even if he loses one Sharingan, his understanding of Ninjutsu will not be lost.
In a way, the Sharingan given to him by Uchiha Obito not only limited the amount of chakra he could use to perform ninjutsu, but also limited his talent in swordsmanship.
He had been studying the changes in the properties of thunder attribute chakra, but now that he had lost his Sharingan, he quickly adapted to it, and after several attempts, he successfully produced a semi-finished purple electricity.
In this way, even if he is unable to use the high-speed assault "Raikiri", his overall strength has not declined much. Instead, it is a blessing in disguise that he has found a path that is more suitable for him.
——The cooperation of Zidian and sword skills.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I would pick up White Fang Swordsmanship again."
Kakashi smiled bitterly to himself.
But as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"Why does that masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara feel so familiar to me?"
If it hadn't been for the masked man's interception, Yamato wouldn't have used his seriously injured body to forcefully use the Demu Escape, and naturally he wouldn't have fallen into the state of being seriously injured and comatose.
The most important thing is that the masked man was also forced to use the time and space ninjutsu.
Although Kakashi's Sharingan was still taken away due to the unequal intelligence between the two sides, he still felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"...I forgot something. Is that guy really Uchiha Madara?" Kakashi scratched his head in distress.
Just when he was puzzled, an ANBU ninja came to him.
"Lord Hokage has an order to go outside the village to defend against foreign enemies."
Hearing this, Kakashi couldn't help but froze.
Could it be that Tianzhong went after Konoha?
What's the reason for this? Wasn't it just that he took away a piece of "Grael's Stone" during the chaos?
But before he could ask further questions, the figure of the ANBU ninja had disappeared.
"What a disaster, what a disaster."
Looking at the several black shadows jumping on the roof in the distance, Kakashi sighed inwardly and followed them.
After a while, about a thousand meters away from the village, a group of Konoha ninjas stopped.
But when they looked into the distance, they couldn't help but froze in place.
I saw a huge black wooden man standing there, with an equally terrifying black wooden dragon wrapped around his arm, revealing a sense of strangeness and deathly silence under the light of the moonlight.
"Is that... the legendary Wood Escape?"
"No, it's impossible. How could it be Mu Dun? Such a ridiculous thing..."
"Wait a minute, look at the top of the wooden man's head. Is there a figure?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the sound.
A figure wearing a mask and flying around stood there.
And this familiar look was still fresh in the ANBU ninja's memory.
"It's actually Akatsuki? Akatsuki's members used wood escape ninjutsu?!"
"No, how could it be Mu Dun? Look at it, it's black!"
Even though the facts are right in front of them, many people still don't want to believe it.
After all, the person who was hostile to Konoha used Konoha's lost wood escape.
This kind of thing...
However, they soon discovered that the man was not looking towards them, but was looking up at the night sky.
Ever since, people in Konoha also looked up at the sky and found a light spot in the night sky, and the light spot was getting bigger and brighter.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "What is that?"
The ANBU ninja who possesses sensory ninjutsu said in surprise: "That's... a meteorite?!"
Buzz! !
Under the control of the power of the giant reincarnation eye, a stone star that originally surrounded the moon gradually broke away from its original orbit, and crashed into the ninja world at a gradually increasing speed.
The violent friction when passing through the atmosphere caused the meteorite's surface to ignite flames, turning into a sword-like stream of light that cut through the dead night sky, and fell rapidly towards Konoha at an extremely alarming speed.
The fireball tearing up the night sky was consumed by the atmosphere. Although its size was not comparable to the extraterrestrial meteorite in Yuyin Village, its terrifying momentum was still noticed by countless people, who looked at the dozens of meters in diameter with stunned expressions. Fireball from the sky.
In the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village, Onoki was having a headache because of the disappearance of the four tails.
But when he felt the meteorite passing over Iwagakure, he stood up suddenly and went to the window, sticking his butt out and looking around.
"What's going on? Another meteorite?"
"Although the size is much smaller this time, it is very similar to the one in Yuyin Village."
When Onoki was wondering whether it was man-made, he suddenly realized the direction of the meteorite landing.
"Wait! The direction of this fall is... the land of fire, Konoha? Hahahaha!!"
Ohnoki was stunned for a moment, then his old face broke out into a smile, and he immediately ordered to the ANBU outside the door: "Send someone to investigate the situation in Konoha now, and you must send all the information to me in detail."
"By the way, let's send someone to sneak into Yuyin Village to investigate... No, it can't be done."
Ohnoki paced, thought for a moment and changed his words: "Let's go to Yuyin Village in the form of diplomatic trade and find out how they solved the meteorite last time."
Since the last meteorite incident, there has been no news about the people he sent to sneak into Yuyin Village.
Previously, it was because the ninja world was in a period of relaxation, so it was inconvenient to break up with Amegakure Village directly.
But this time he sent a diplomatic envoy. If the Ame Hidden Village killed him without any explanation, then Iwagakure Village would have a reason to intervene.
"But, is it a coincidence? Or...human manipulation?"
After the excitement, Onoki quickly regained his senses, and doubts arose in his mind: "If someone has developed the technology to control meteorites, Amegakure and Konoha should have been attacked by the same enemy."
Faced with the successive meteorite incidents, many people have realized that the situation is abnormal.
The leaders of many villages have issued orders to explore the intelligence, and they are also gloating about how Konoha will deal with this meteorite.
Now that the strength of the five major ninja villages has almost recovered, I believe that it won't be long before the ninja war breaks out again.
If this meteorite can really hit Konoha hard, then they will have to consider whether to start a war in advance.
At the same time, in just a few seconds, the spot of light in the sky turned into a group of fire clearly visible to the naked eye, falling straight from the sky.
In the Hyuga tribe, Hizu also opened his white eyes in shock, looking at the falling meteorites in the night sky.
"Neji, could this kind of power to control meteorites..."
Neji's veins popped out at the side, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Maybe it has something to do with the eyes they mentioned?"
Is it surprising that the guy with the Byakugan just now was actually able to activate such a terrifying ninjutsu?
Doesn't that mean they can too? !
On top of the tall black wooden man, Naruto also looked up at the meteorite hitting here.
The dim night, illuminated by the meteorite fire, became bright again. In a trance, it seemed as if the sky turned from night to day in an instant, making people unable to open their eyes.
Looking up at the rapidly falling meteorite and feeling the restless airflow around him, Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is this the so-called power of the reincarnated eye?"
If it were hit directly, it would probably be destroyed in ashes.
As the firelight in the sky became brighter and brighter, Naruto's expression became more and more indifferent.
"Hoo Chi! Hoo Chi! Is it really too much?"
After completing the control of the reincarnated eye remotely, Otsutsuki Tateto fell onto the flying ninja tool with a pale face, breathing heavily.
Although he has the bloodline of Otsutsuki and has the authority to control the giant reincarnation eye, he does not have enough pure bloodline of Otsutsuki after all, and it is really difficult to control the full power of the giant reincarnation eye.
Just by controlling the position of a small meteorite falling, all the chakra in Tateto Otsutsuki's body has been drained.
This is when the main consumption is on the giant reincarnation eye.
If he relied solely on his own strength, he would not be able to even move the meteorite slightly, let alone control it to fall.
"Haha, did you see that, a lowly ninja?"
Otsutsuki Tateto stood up and looked at Naruto with a wild smile: "Open your eyes and see clearly. This is our real power!"
Although this fallen meteorite is not large in size, it is a meteorite drifting in the infinite universe. The hardness of its material is far beyond that of ordinary rocks.
Coupled with the blessing of the meteorite falling from space, the overall power can barely meet his requirements.
"Hahaha!"
Tateto Otsutsuki shouted loudly: "Untouchables in the ninja world, run away under this power, you will taste the consequences of angering the gods!!"
After saying that, he turned around, planning to use his flying ninja tool to stay away from the area while Naruto was dealing with the meteorite.
In his opinion, under this powerful force and the threat of death, no matter who he is, the only option is to flee in fear.
But unfortunately, Otsutsuki Tateto's hopes were doomed.
"God? Is a guy like you worthy of being called a god?"
As the fierce voice came, the black wooden man raised his arm again.
"There is only one person who deserves this title! This person is definitely not me, and it can't be you!"
boom! !
In an instant, the black wooden dragon on his arm was thrown again.
In the swaying firelight and flying sparks, Naruto, whose whole body was wrapped in blue chakra, quickly rushed behind Otsutsuki Tateto.
When Otsutsuki Tateto heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at the terrifying mask coming towards his face. A great sense of absurdity and fear surged into his heart.
"Life-hungry lunatic!" There was no trace of the arrogance or wantonness on his face, but a look of endless panic and fear.
Anyone can see that with the power of the meteorite above his head, there is not enough time to escape at this time. Continuing to fight will undoubtedly mean that we will die together!
But Otsutsuki Tateto never thought that this guy could be so crazy.
He actually attacked me when both parties should have tacitly agreed to stop and run for their lives!
