Chapter 327: The Ultimate Jutsu: Talk no Jutsu!
Chapter 327: The Ultimate Jutsu: Talk no Jutsu!
At the edge of a small stream in the Water Country, a blood-soaked Kaki Ghost Shark tended to his wounds, appearing numb. Nearby, a large and robust corpse lay, recognizable to any Mist Ninja. It was Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost, Ghost Shark's superior, now reduced to a lifeless body. With no other enemies around, it was evident that Ghost Shark had killed his own boss.
Ghost Shark had eliminated his superior for selling out to the enemy, but now he felt lost. His previous missions involved killing teammates to protect sensitive information, but discovering his superior's betrayal made him realize all his efforts were in vain, leaving him questioning the significance of his actions.
"Who's there?!" Ghost Shark finished treating his wounds and took a sip from a hard-earned healing potion. Suddenly, he spun around, sensing a presence in the mist behind him.
"No wonder you're called the 'Tailless Tailed Beast,' your strength is indeed impressive!" A young man's voice echoed, and two figures emerged from the mist.
Swish! Ghost Shark rolled to the side and grabbed the large sword wrapped in bandages nearby—Jellyfish Muscle Blade, the most mysterious of the Seven Swords of the Mist. It was alive, but the bandages concealed its true form.
"I mean no harm; otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for you to finish treating your wounds, right?" The young man, with short black hair and a handsome face, spoke casually as if chatting with a friend.
Recognizing the figure and the elbow-length gloves, Ghost Shark instantly identified his visitor. "Purifying Flame!" he exclaimed, referring to a well-known title among the Mist Ninjas.
"I prefer to be called Dong Ping rather than that title," Dong Ping complained as he stopped in front of Ghost Shark.
Ghost Shark was like a powder keg, and further provocation might set him off. Dong Ping, however, understood Ghost Shark's meticulous mind. Despite appearing relaxed, his aura had locked onto Ghost Shark, ready to respond with full force at the slightest movement. Even without Sage Mode, Dong Ping was confident he could vaporize the entire river, making it impossible for Ghost Shark to escape.
'So powerful!' Ghost Shark's forehead broke into a cold sweat. Although Dong Ping showed no signs of attack, his substantial and domineering aura left Ghost Shark frozen in place.
To be fair, Dong Ping's Chakra was indeed inferior to Ghost Shark's. But sometimes, it's not just about Chakra. Just as in this case, while Dong Ping's Chakra might be weaker than the 'Tailless Tailed Beast,' his combat prowess easily overwhelmed him.
When it comes to Chakra alone, only the most abnormal individuals can rival Tailed Beasts. Yet, Shadow-level ninjas with far less powerful Chakra can dominate Tailed Beasts in battle.
Therefore, even with Ghost Shark's superior Chakra, Dong Ping was not intimidated.
"I'm here to save you from this false world!" Dong Ping revealed his purpose. It wasn't that he wanted to be cryptic; it's just that Ghost Shark, and many other powerful ninjas, fell for this tactic.
Damn! Dong Ping couldn't help but think that it made sense how Naruto could conquer the world with Talk no Jutsu in the future. The version favored him too much.
Ghost Shark, his DNA stirred by Dong Ping's words, momentarily forgot about escaping. Meanwhile, Hyuga Cangyue's eyes, glowing with a blue light, remained hidden in the mist.
Indeed, Dong Ping hadn't forgotten. Ghost Shark had been lured into Akatsuki by the White Eye Wolf's 'Moon Eye' plan, so he sent Hyuga Cangyue to distract him, creating an opportunity for Dong Ping to engage Ghost Shark.
And Kaki Ghost Shark, Dong Ping had long since grasped the situation.
Remember that female Intelligence Division member he personally killed to keep the information secret? The one who had a deep admiration for him.
She would have been a threat to Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost, and her influence was a factor.
Hehe!
With this weakness, coupled with the innate loyalty of the Heaven-Selected Labor Saint Body, there was no fear of betrayal.
"That's right, this world is indeed fake, and everyone is just a pawn and plaything of the Great Tree Clan!"
Dong Ping was about to reveal some harsh truths.
Otherwise, the other party might have been swayed by Obito's 'Moon Eye' plan.
As for Ghost Shark's strict confidentiality, it was well-known to those in the know.
In the future, to prevent information leaks, he would rather summon sharks to devour himself than fall into enemy hands.
He was a total hardliner!
It was his impeccable qualities, both in strength and other aspects, that made Dong Ping remember this 'Heaven-Selected Labor Saint Body'.
The Great Tree Clan.
The true mastermind behind the scenes in the Shinobi World, responsible for all the tragedies that befell it.
Even the 'Moon Eye' plan was just a ploy to resurrect Kaguya.
Ghost Shark seemed like a clueless goose at that moment.
Once he realized that the 'Moon Eye' was a conspiracy, he wouldn't be swayed by the White Eye Wolf and would directly surrender.
Dong Ping even revealed that the Fourth Mizukage was just a puppet of the White Eye Wolf.
Anyway, with his mouth being the tightest in the Shinobi World, there was no fear of leaks, so telling him was no big deal.
Glug!
After hearing all this, Ghost Shark swallowed his saliva and calmed his emotions.
There was no choice; anyone who heard about 'aliens', 'Six Paths Sage', and other such information would react similarly.
Of course, Dong Ping didn't go into many details; he just skimmed over them.
He also left some room for Ghost Shark to verify the information. Once he saw those things, he would understand that what Dong Ping said was the truth of the Shinobi World.
A real world, but one that Ghost Shark sought.
And now, Dong Ping was presenting such a world to him, naturally 'saving' him from his earlier lament.
"Your Excellency Dong Ping, I am willing to serve you!"
Ghost Shark, faced with Dong Ping's precisely targeted verbal barrage, immediately surrendered.
"Next, I will give you a chance to prove the truth I've spoken of. Later..."
Dong Ping intended to have him infiltrate Akatsuki as a spy, but he phrased it as giving him an opportunity.
An opportunity to see the truth of the world.
"Thank you, sir!"
Ghost Shark was incredibly grateful.
It was a done deal!
Seeing the other party's reaction, Dong Ping knew that this tailless beast had become his pet from that moment on.
It could only be said that in the Shinobi World, the strongest was not ninjutsu but verbal jutsu.
Once one learned to speak, even the most formidable enemy could be made to 'reform' and be directly redeemed.
"Also, since you're willing to serve me, I'm willing to give you a chance!" Dong Ping's lips curved into a smile. "A chance for resurrection!"
The other party had actually developed feelings for that Mist Ninja girl, and if it weren't for the mission, Ghost Shark would never have taken action.
It could only be said that in his heart, the mission was indeed more important than the girl.
The first sword of the mission, slay the one in your heart! This was the perfect description of Ghost Shark.
Such a good Worker Saint Body, Dong Ping couldn't bear to let him work alone. If he had a few descendants to work for him, it would be even better.
"Resurrection!!"
Ghost Shark's pupils trembled, as if he hadn't considered it at all.
"Yes!" Dong Ping lowered his voice and said, "Since even the Six Paths Sage exists, what's the big deal about resurrection? If there's someone you want to resurrect, just hand over the body to me!"
After saying this, Dong Ping disappeared into the mist.
The contact methods and codes had just been conveyed, so there was no fear of him digging up the body and being unable to hand it over.
And after Dong Ping disappeared, Ghost Shark's shark face was filled with complexity.
But in the end, he regained his composure and made a decision. He wanted to witness the truth of this world with his own eyes.
If it was indeed as Dong Ping said, then he would wholeheartedly serve him.
He placed the Jellyfish Muscle Blade back in its previous position and sat down, as if he had just finished treating his injuries.
And the person he was waiting for appeared at that moment.
