Konoha: Sage Body

"DONG!!!"

Shukaku's paw collided with the iron fist, which was like two huge beasts, instantly erupting a jellyfish-like airwave, along with a loud vibration that made a large number of nearby ninjas cover their ears in pain.

Shukaku's power was undoubtedly very strong. If that paw landed, even if the ground was made of steel, it would immediately be punched a big hole.

However, the fist formed from the iron sand was extremely sturdy, and was firmly rooted in the sand below like an old tree's roots. In the end, it skillfully dispersed the power from Shukaku's claw into the surrounding sand, thus very smoothly blocking Shukaku's claw attack.

"Sandaime Kazekage!"

Shukaku looked at the iron sand fist below that blocked its claw, and it realized who had arrived, and suddenly shouted angrily.

It was this damned guy who had been suppressing it for the past decade or so, treating it badly and calling it an animal.

At least half of its hatred for the Sunagakure stemmed from this damned human.

When enemies meet, they are extremely hostile.

Shukaku immediately began to carefully search for the location of the Sandaime Kazekage.

But the next moment, a large black snake pounced from behind the sand dune, wrapping its huge, long body around Shukaku's entire body.

This large black snake was actually made up of a large amount of iron sand. On top of it was Sandaime Kazekage, who was looking down at Shukaku from a high vantage point. His eyes revealed a deep disdain.

As a ninja who could easily suppress Shukaku many times over, in his eyes, Shukaku was nothing more than a beast with power but no idea how to use it. As long as he was a little more serious, there was no danger.

Shukaku was infuriated when he saw Sandaime Kazekage, and without saying a word, opened his mouth wide.

An air cannonball formed from a large amount of highly condensed Wind Release Chakra was instantly released from its mouth, quickly hitting and destroying the head of the Iron Snake and Sandaime Kazekage.

Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet!

The Iron Snake did not collapse without its head, but quickly gathered the scattered iron sand around it to reform a new head.

Sandaime Kazekage also reappeared on top of the snake's head.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Clone Technique!

"As expected, it's still just a beast that only knows destruction. It's still so rash. Kirito Tosaka, come out. I know you can't be controlled by such a beast that has power but doesn't know how to use it. Come out and talk to me. Sunagakure and Konoha are currently in talks, and we don't need to go to this extent."

The Iron Serpent Sand Snake appeared, and the Sandaime Kazekage spoke in a tone that contained anger.

When Shukaku heard the Sandaime Kazekage scold it, the already enormous anger in its heart flared up even more, but before it could open its mouth, the Iron Serpent Sand Snake that was wrapped around it melted away, and a large amount of iron sand covered its body and sealed its mouth.

For a time, Shukaku was wrapped in the Sandaime Kazekage's iron sand and was temporarily unable to move.

At the same time, the sand cloud on the ground, and the rest of the Sunagakure who had survived Shukaku's sandstorm, were helped by the iron sand cloud and flew into the air, preparing to escape the encirclement of the Konoha ninja.

At this moment, most of the Konoha ninja on the battlefield focused their attention on the high-profile appearance of the Sandaime Kazekage. They noticed the departure of the Sunagakure, but not many of them were willing to pay any attention.

Until a voice appeared in their minds: "Leave those people behind for me."

When the Konoha ninja heard this voice, the first to act was Chizuru, who instantly used the Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique and turned into a flash of lightning, heading straight for Sayun and the others.

Next came Nawaki and Hanare, one erupting with four gates and charging into the sky with a ball of green chakra flames, while the other grew a pair of lifelike chakra wings and soared into the air.

As the three of them moved, the other Konoha ninja also rushed towards Sayun and the others using various techniques or directly using powerful ninjutsu to attack from a distance.

"Hmph!"

Sandaime Kazekage noticed the actions of the group of Konoha ninja and let out a cold and piercing hmph.

A large mass of black iron sand gushed out of the sand and turned into a wave of iron sand that rushed in all directions, engulfing many Konoha ninja walking on the ground as well as a large number of ninjutsu.

Only a few Konoha ninja were able to continue moving against the tide of iron sand.

Seeing that a small number of elite Konoha ninja were about to approach the wounded men such as Sayun, Sandaime Kazekage was preparing to launch another attack.

This time, Sunagakure definitely suffered heavy losses. Nearly 3,000 Suna-Nin in this base camp, 90% of whom died in the sandstorm created by Shukaku.

As the Kazekage, he had to bring back the remaining Suna-Nin here.

If possible, he also planned to kill a group of elite Konoha ninja along the way.

But how could Kirito possibly let Sandaime Kazekage have his way? With a sigh, he instantly suppressed Shukaku's consciousness, and then with a thought, a pillar of sand suddenly rose from the ground, rescuing a large number of Konoha ninja trapped in the black iron sand.

Not only that, but the iron sand cloud that was dragging the Suna-Nin away was caught by two huge hands of sand and unable to move any further.

At the same time, a powerful chakra fluctuation appeared, and all the iron sand trapped in Shukaku's body was shaken and blown away.

The next moment, Shukaku's huge body quickly disappeared, and the one-tailed Jinchuuriki Kirito Tosaka officially appeared in front of Sandaime Kazekage, who now had a pair of iron sand wings.

"Nice to meet you for the first time, Kazekage-sama. What a pleasure."

As soon as Kirito appeared, he greeted Sandaime Kazekage with a friendly smile.

However, Kirito's friendly greeting and bright smile were full of sarcasm in Sandaime Kazekage's eyes, which was very piercing and heart-wrenching.

A large number of the unjustly killed Suna-Nin were still watching him from the yellow sand below. He was in no mood to engage in empty politeness with Kirito, so he shouted, "Kirito Tosaka, do you really intend to make us from the Sunagakure do battle to the death with you from Konoha?"

"You're joking, Kazekage-sama. Wasn't Konoha just fighting for its life against you Sunagakure? You were the ones who provoked us. Now that you're weak, how dare you turn the tables? It's as if Konoha bullied you Sunagakure.

As the frontline commander of Konoha in the Land of Wind, I am duty-bound to destroy your Sunagakure. Moreover, this time it was your people from Sunagakure who took the initiative to sabotage the peace talks, so I had no choice but to take the initiative and destroy this Sunagakure frontline base camp."

Kirito heard these words from the Sandaime Kazekage and an expression of surprise appeared on his face before he sarcastically said:

From beginning to end, this war between Konoha and Sunagakure was started by Sunagakure. Konoha has suffered greatly, with a large number of ninja dying in the process, and countless Konoha ninja on the front line all hated Sunagakure.

Now, hearing Kirito's fearless sarcasm directed at Sandaime Kazekage, they were all very happy, and their fear of Sandaime Kazekage vanished. Then, they all attacked the Suna-Nin of Sayun and the others again.

In front of Sandaime Kazekage, they killed Sayun and the other Suna-Nin one after the other, leaving only the spineless guys kneeling on the ground with their hands raised.

Sandaime Kazekage was so furious that he almost passed out.

But instead of rushing to Sayun's aid, he focused all his attention on the Konoha teenager in front of him.

When masters fight, every move is lethal, and the outcome can be decided in an instant.

Previously, when facing Shukaku, a tailed beast whose mind had been clouded by anger, he still had the energy to rescue Sayun and the others, but now he is facing a peerless opponent who can forcibly suppress the will of a tailed beast. Unless he is as clouded by anger as Shukaku, he simply does not dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Moreover, not far away is Orochimaru, a poisonous snake, eyeing him hungrily.

He has personally witnessed the power of this poisonous snake, and the two young poisonous snakes he taught are also here. How dare he be distracted again.

What makes him most helpless is that Chiyo is currently not in the village, resulting in him being the only one here to face Konoha and others. No one can share the pressure for him. He is truly under a lot of pressure right now.

"Kirito Tosaka, don't make things up. Sunagakure took the initiative to initiate peace talks with Konoha, so how could we possibly take the initiative to sabotage the peace talks? Your current actions are sabotaging the peace between Sunagakure and Konoha. I advise you to stop immediately, or else the entire ninja world will not be able to tolerate you."

Sandaime Kazekage managed to suppress his anger and continued to try to reason with Kirito, trying to threaten Kirito with the big hat of sabotaging the peace talks.

Unfortunately, Kirito had come prepared and was not swayed by Sandaime Kazekage's words.

The next moment, he suddenly turned into a purple human lightning bolt and shot off in a certain direction.

Sandaime Kazekage, who was flying in the air, saw the direction Kirito left for and his face suddenly changed. Then his entire body turned into a pile of iron sand and scattered from the sky.

On the other side, on a sand dune more than ten kilometers away, the real Sandaime Kazekage opened his eyes, and a strand of chakra on his left finger disappeared with it.

He was currently the only Kage-Level powerhouse left in Sunagakure, and of course he could not risk his own life.

Therefore, when he went to support the Sunagakure frontline base camp, he sent an iron sand puppet formed by combining Puppeteering and Magnet Release.

He just didn't expect that he would be fighting Kirito Tosaka from such a distance, and the other party would discover his location so quickly.

"This kid's perception ability is just too terrifying."

Sandaime Kazekage stood up from the ground, stared in a certain direction, and cursed inwardly.

A few seconds later, a purple humanoid lightning bolt appeared in his eyes, and then stopped in midair in front of him, revealing Kirito's true appearance once again, and continuing to remain in midair.

Lightning Release: Lightning Transformation Technique.

After repeated research and practice over this period of time, Kirito has now almost completely mastered the free switching of this ninjutsu. He has also developed a Magnet Release flying ninjutsu with the help of this lightning transformation ninjutsu.

The principle is to use the Lightning Transformation Technique to create a powerful electromagnetic force within one's own body, and magnetize one's own body, thereby using the electromagnetic force to counteract one's own gravity, and ultimately allowing one to truly fly.

Kirito looked down condescendingly at Sandaime Kazekage. Without any nonsense, he launched an attack as soon as he got up. A golden laser suddenly shot out of his right index finger, piercing Sandaime Kazekage's skull.

Storm Release: Laser Technique!

This was the first ninjutsu he developed after forming the Storm Release Bloodline Limit.

The principle is to form a Storm Release chakra into an extremely penetrating energy beam. This jutsu not only does not require the formation of seals, but also has outstanding power and speed. Most importantly, it also has the characteristics of Storm Release, and can be manipulated freely like water.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of chakra.

If Kirito had not become a One-Tailed Jinchuuriki before, with his normal amount of chakra, he would have used up all of it after releasing it five times.

Kirito watched as Sandaime Kazekage's head was easily pierced by his new Storm Release jutsu, and there was not much joy on his face. He sighed and said, "Sandaime Kazekage, I think that as the Kage of a village, you should have more courage. Do you really dislike fighting me face-to-face? I'm only 11 years old, I'm still a child."

The next moment, Sandaime Kazekage, whose head had been pierced by the laser, spoke: "Konoha brat, stop showing off your talent. I admit you're very good, and I'm ashamed to be in your presence, but you're still a bit lacking if you want to kill me."

As soon as the words fell, a large amount of iron sand suddenly gushed out, and then a large number of shuriken formed from the iron sand and shot towards Kirito at high speed.

Kirito did not dodge, and let the large number of shuriken shoot over.

As a result, all the shuriken pierced through his body, leaving him unharmed.

At the same time, one kilometer underground, Sandaime Kazekage, wrapped in a large amount of iron sand, watched Kirito's performance through the eye formed by the third eye on the iron sand puppet.

His face grew increasingly ugly as his heart grew heavier and heavier. Apart from being proficient in Magnet Release, he was also proficient in Earth Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release and Puppet Arts.

After he had witnessed Kirito in person using the Iron Sand Puppet Technique, he quickly realized that he was probably no match for Kirito. Now, after witnessing Kirito use the Storm Release jutsu in person, he was even more certain of this.

His judgment was not bad; when he was young, he had encountered ninjas using the Storm Release jutsu, so he immediately realized that the jutsu Kirito had just used was a Storm Release jutsu he had never seen before.

He was both shocked and terrified.

Fortunately, he noticed Kirito coming his way and dived underground as soon as he could, leaving behind an iron sand puppet to confuse the enemy. Otherwise, he would have been dead already, as he had carelessly left his real body on the ground.

The Storm Release technique just released by Kirito was so fast that he was hit before he could react.

He feels a sense of fear just thinking about it.

Because this means that Kirito is already capable of killing him in seconds. If he were an average Kage-Level powerhouse and didn't know that Kirito can use this Storm Release jutsu, he might have been killed by Kirito with this jutsu right from the start.

Even if he did know, if he lacked the necessary defensive measures, he would still be dead.

"This is no fun, are you planning to force me to attack Sunagakure?"

Kirito sighed again on hearing this.

With the Spirit Transformation Technique, he naturally knew where the Sandaime Kazekage was.

This old man was very cunning and had been moving underground the whole time, with his real body already over a kilometer away. It was obvious that he wasn't going to fight him seriously.

His main target tonight is this Sandaime Kazekage. If he can get the other guy killed, he will not only reap a lot of military glory and precious Enhancement Points, but he will also completely break the backbone of Sunagakure, making it impossible for Sunagakure to threaten Konoha for a long time.

Unfortunately, this Sandaime Kazekage is much more stable than he expected. He is not at all as careless as in the original plot, and was poisoned by the young Sasori and died in the end.
