Chapter 116 The Secret Technique for Opening Rashomon
The Hokage is absolutely certain that he will not send him to the Cloud Village front, no matter what.
Since it's not suitable to stay in the village for the time being, I might as well travel around the ninja world and recruit the people I like into the Kage club.
Actually, killing the Mizukage directly before was somewhat out of necessity.
As one of the Five Kage, the Mizukage Yagura is naturally very strong.
However, despite his baby face, the intelligence gathered by Konoha shows that he has a rather domineering and assertive personality.
Unlike independent figures like Sasori and Kakuzu who lack power, the decisions made by the Mizukage concern the future of Kirigakure.
Such a person cannot be subdued simply by force.
Therefore, the Mizukage had no choice but to humble himself and serve as a stepping stone for him to use in establishing his authority.
Being able to openly kill one of the Five Kage would greatly enhance his reputation in the ninja world.
[Killed Kage-level ninja Yagura Karatachi, reputation +200,000]
[Killing someone with the title of Water Shadow grants +100,000 reputation points]
[Defeat Kage ninja Kakuzu, reputation +100,000]
[Recruiting the Kage-level ninja Kakuzu, reputation +100,000]
[Significantly impacts the battle situation, reputation +100,000]
[The Hidden Mist Village announces its complete surrender, significantly impacting the ninja world's situation; reputation gains +500,000]
[Reaching 2 million reputation points will reward you with the Rashomon unlocking secret technique]
Name: Mochizuki Souji
[Identity: Elite Jonin]
Chakra: 1 million
[Ninjutsu: Mochizuki-ryu Kunai Combat Technique, Mochizuki-ryu Kunai Throwing Technique, Others]
[Prestige: 2,268,600 (Ninja World Overlord)]
[Example: Never misses a shot: Ignoring the difference in strength and all means, it will always hit the target (no limit)]
[Ultimate Kill (Level 6): Ignores all means, guarantees a kill on the target, only effective against Kage-level and below (Kunai-only)]
[Upgrading the Ultimate Killer skill to level 7 requires 10 million Prestige]
Sure enough, as strength increases, so does the rise in prestige.
At first, it took some effort to get 100 reputation points.
Later, when unlocking the Level 6 Ultimate Killer required 1 million reputation points, it felt like an unattainable dream.
But now he has gained a million-ryo reputation in one go!
Although such opportunities are hard to repeat, after all, apart from Konoha, there are only the other four Kage and the four great ninja villages in the entire ninja world.
As expected, although the system doesn't speak, it will always prepare everything for him.
The latest reward is the Rashomon unlocking secret technique.
Rashomon is essentially a gate to the underworld.
Due to its extremely sturdy nature, ninjas use summoning techniques to summon it as a defensive measure.
But having acquired the secret technique to open it, he will be able to open the seemingly forever sealed Rashomon, and after that…
The passage from the human world to the underworld will then open!
As for what we're going to do in the underworld?
Let's go into the upgrade dungeon!
According to the knowledge that comes with the rewards from the system, this world does not have a complete underworld like the mythology of Earth.
Whether it's the Grim Reaper sealed with the Reaper Death Seal or the King of Hell summoned by Pain's Hell Path, they both appear to be gods, but in reality, they are merely manifestations of the laws of the world.
These deities have no self-awareness; they act solely on instinct, that is, according to the laws of the world.
Even in the mere ninja world, if a method is found, they can be summoned at will, and the deities will not even refuse.
Since it lacks even self-awareness, it cannot be considered the ruler of the underworld.
The underworld reincarnation system in this world is simply that when a person dies, their soul enters a different dimension, which is the underworld.
Since gods have no self-awareness, the underworld naturally has no judgment or punishment.
The dead simply remain in the underworld, and just as the living naturally age and weaken until they eventually die, the soul of the dead also continues to dissipate.
The consumed soul elements will then be used to reconstruct the souls of new lives on earth.
This is the natural cycle system of this world.
The more powerful the deceased, the stronger the quality of their soul, and the longer it will take for them to decompose and dissipate.
In other words, going to the underworld allows you to see the shadows of past generations... including even Hashirama Senju.
Just like in the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work, the Impure World Reincarnation can summon the souls of many powerful dead people in the Shinobi World over the past few decades.
For these powerful beings, even a few decades are not enough for their souls to dissipate.
Therefore, the underworld, which gathers countless powerful individuals, is the perfect place for him to build his reputation!
First, go to Kusagakure and Takigakure to recruit people.
If you can find Tsunade, go find her. If you still can't find her, then form a group and go to the Underworld to level up.
At the same time.
The Cloud Village Ninja Army's operational center is located at the border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost.
The Raikage looked down at the huge map, arms crossed, brows furrowed, looking quite troubled.
Fourth Raikage (A), the young master of "Hidden Cloud Village, was no longer as arrogant as he had been at the beginning of the battle. He said in a deep voice:
"Father, it seems we have no choice but to split up and deal with Iwagakure and Konoha separately!"
"It seems this is the only way..."
Raikage nodded slowly.
"I'll leave this place to you and Killer Bee. I'll go back and hold the line against Onoki!"
"You guys have no problem dealing with Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, right?"
"Of course, no problem! Dad, you can rest assured!"
"Fourth Raikage (A),!" A answered loudly.
Killer Bee, who had recently become the Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki, also answered in his usual rapping tone:
"Konoha ninjas are nothing but rotten fish and shrimp.
I can wipe out a hundred or eighty with a single breath!"
Raikage nodded with a satisfied look on his face.
"Then it's decided. This place is in your hands! Do your best and show the Konoha folks the bravery of Kumogakure!"
Thus, it was decided that the Raikage himself would return to Kumogakure to take charge.
Not long ago, some very shocking news suddenly came.
Having made prior arrangements with Kumogakure, Kirigakure simultaneously launched a pincer attack on Konoha... and surrendered completely to Konoha!
As promised, Kirigakure launched a near-full-scale attack, assaulting the coastal areas of the Land of Fire from the sea, and within just a few days...
The elite Jonin team, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, were all wiped out!
Mizukage Yagura, died in battle!
More than 10,000 ninja from Kirigakure, represented by their Grand Elder Genji, personally went to Konoha to declare their complete surrender to Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi!
This is an unbelievable message, like a dream come true!
At first, Raikage couldn't believe it, but after confirming it through multiple channels, he still received the exact same message.
Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages in the world, was inexplicably destroyed in just a few days!
Immediately afterwards, Iwagakure took action again, switching from defense to offense, with the Tsuchikage Onoki leading more than 10,000 ninjas from the sea...
It is foreseeable that they intend to bypass the two kingdoms of Land of Hot Water and Land of Frost, which are at war, and directly attack the Land of A where the Hidden Cloud is located!
The situation suddenly reversed!
