Chapter 695: Hatred for Hawk Sauce, Understanding Hawk Sauce, Becoming Hawk Sauce!
Boom!
Although the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb is merely a B-rank Fire Release, when used by Touhei, its power is comparable to an A-rank technique. These flames are white, and he consumes more chakra to enhance both the quality and quantity of the attack. Even a tailed beast would be injured by this strike, let alone a flesh-and-blood body.
Someone like Ai, with an incredibly powerful physique, might have a chance to survive, but Tsuchikage Daidai... not only would he not survive, but there wouldn't even be a trace of him left.
After the fire dragon dissipated, only a charred crater remained, and nothing else. It's evident that Daidai must have had shuriken on him, but even those were completely destroyed, showcasing the sheer power of the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb.
The 'Merciful' Fire Release, when used by Touhei, becomes terrifyingly powerful. The key to its strength lies in its high temperature, vast quantity, and rapid speed. If one can't counter these aspects, Fire Release becomes a flashy yet ineffective technique in battle.
"Uchiha Touhei!"
Ai's eyes reddened as he glared at Touhei, who was floating in mid-air, cloaked in a white flame robe, and maintaining his levitation by continuously spewing flames from his feet. He glared at him with such intensity that he seemed ready to devour him without any sauce.
"Brother!"
Even Kirabi, uncharacteristically, didn't sing his usual chant.
Tsuchikage Daidai was both Kirabi's teacher and guardian, and although Kirabi didn't like him, it wasn't because he hated him; it was due to Daidai's strict discipline. Now, seeing his teacher die before his eyes, Kirabi couldn't help but feel enraged.
At this moment, Kirabi wanted Ai to agree to avenge his teacher.
"Bee!"
Ai extended his hand to stop Kirabi, his intention clear as day.
He was not permitting it.
The losses were already significant, and the Cloud Village ninjas couldn't afford to take any more risks.
Even if Touhei was pretending to be weak, Kirabi had to admit that he didn't have the capital to take any more risks.
Whether it was him or Kirabi, if something happened to either of them, the Cloud Village would be in danger.
After all, this wasn't a time of peace, and if they suffered more losses, it wouldn't be surprising if the Stone Country ninjas launched an attack on them immediately.
"Yes!"
Although Kirabi wanted to avenge his teacher, seeing his brother's reddened eyes, filled with suppressed rage, he eventually nodded in agreement.
Of course, this was also because the Niugui within him had been injured during the previous battle, leaving him in a less-than-optimal state, and he understood that this wasn't the right time for revenge.
Cough, cough!
Just as Touhei was about to say something, he suddenly couldn't control his light coughing, and as he coughed up a large amount of blood, it instantly evaporated.
Of course, this blood was fake, and Touhei's real blood, after his transformation, was no longer vulnerable to flames.
Acting!
He needed to spread the information that he was 'severely injured'.
"Uchiha Touhei, you're just a spent arrow now. Aren't you afraid?"
Ai, who was about to retreat, paused and tested him.
Touhei's heart had been pierced, and the fact that he was still standing was already a testament to his limits. This weakened state might very well be an act.
"Hmph, even if I'm heavily injured, I can still take care of you two black bastards!"
Touhei directly insulted them.
If it were any other powerful opponent, he wouldn't resort to such tactics.
But against the Cloud Village ninjas, he felt no psychological pressure.
The despicable acts they had committed were indeed beneath contempt.
Moreover, he personally disliked black people.
Having crossed over to this world, he naturally wanted to express his true feelings, and this place didn't adhere to the concept of political correctness.
Even if he didn't know what 'black bastard' meant, the term 'bastard' was clear to both Ai and Kirabi, and they understood it as a derogatory title.
"Uchiha Touhei, do you want to die?"
Ai was furious.
Although the term 'bastard' had already spread throughout the ninja world, no one would dare use it in front of him.
Except for Daioh! Their mutual grudge ran deep, and they wished each other dead.
Now, Touhei dared to mock him and even used a more offensive title, which enraged Ai.
"Just you Cloud ninjas?" Touhei turned away disdainfully. "This time, you're lucky. I hope you can bring me more fun in the future!"
Insults and mockery!
Combined with his carefully staged 'severely injured' state, this would undoubtedly drive the Cloud ninjas to attack the Skyguard Tower without a second thought.
As Touhei's figure disappeared from sight, Ai finally released his grip on Kirabi's right hand.
Drip, drip!
His left hand, clenched into a tight fist with excessive force, had his nails digging into his palm, causing it to bleed.
If it weren't for this, Ai feared he wouldn't be able to control his inner anger and might choose to take the risk of keeping Touhei alive.
For Tsuchikage Daidai, his role was that of a teacher and friend, and now, witnessing such a person being killed before him, one could imagine the turmoil in his heart.
Tohei, unaware of Ai's thoughts, would have undoubtedly mocked him if he had known.
"When you chose to surround and attack me, did you not consider the consequences?"
Only with the determination to be killed can one have the qualification to kill.
This was a well-known principle.
On the other side, Tohei, after flying several kilometers with his Flame Cloak, slowly descended to the ground.
"No one is following us, right?"
Upon landing, he immediately turned to the side and asked the person behind the tree.
As he spoke, a figure similar to his own emerged from behind the tree.
Bang!
Midway through her walk, the smoke dissipated, revealing Hyuga Tsukimaru.
She had used Transformation Jutsu to disguise herself as him, providing perfect assistance.
Even if someone noticed her, they might mistake her for his 'Shadow Clone', ensuring her information remained secure.
"No one is following us. Those two have already retreated!"
Hyuga Tsukimaru gave an affirmative response.
She had been hiding in the shadows, using her Reincarnation Eye to monitor the situation, providing her with a clear understanding of the entire situation.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Tohei nodded, and his body underwent a transformation.
The 'wound' on his chest melted and turned into lava, quickly healing the injury.
After confirming that the wound had disappeared, Tohei deactivated his 'Elemental Transformation' state, returning to his physical form.
At this moment, the terrifying wounds on his body instantly vanished.
However, he didn't stop there; he quickly took out a roll of bandages and threw it to Hyuga Tsukimaru.
She caught the bandages and immediately wrapped them around his heart, while also applying some powder to his face.
Soon, Tohei's face turned as pale as paper, with bandages wrapped around his chest.
Even Tsunade would not be able to detect any flaws; she could only know that he had suffered severe injuries and blood loss.
As the pinnacle of the medical field, Tohei was an expert in disguising injuries.
"Let's go, we're returning to Konoha to report our mission!"
After perfecting his disguise, he led Hyuga Tsukimaru back to Konoha.
The following period was the final calm before the great war.
Tohei eagerly anticipated this war, as only through conflict could the ninja world's order be reshaped.
Additionally, certain matters could only be accomplished during a ninja world war.
For example, the situation in the Land of Water!
Currently, Kirigakure held control over millions of people, occupying a small percentage of the territory.
In the past, expansion would have been impossible, as it would have made them an enemy of the entire ninja world.
However, if they expanded during a ninja world war, no one would have the time to cause them trouble.
If they created a fait accompli and then had the other major countries acknowledge Kirigakure's legitimate rule over the Land of Water, they could join their ranks. To resolve the issue of the Skyguard Tower, the major countries would have no choice but to agree, even if it meant biting the bullet.
If they refused, the target would shift from solely the Skyguard Tower to both the tower and Kirigakure, complicating the situation significantly.
Taking advantage of the chaos!
With this strategy, Kirigakure could solidify its control over the Land of Water, leaving no room for outsiders to interfere.
In the end, they could even stab the major countries in the back at a critical moment.
Brilliant!
Regarding the Land of Wind, due to insufficient preparation, they might not be able to swallow it whole, but they could take the opportunity to force the nobles and daimyo to commit 'seventeen kunai suicide in the back.' Then, they could slowly absorb it.
Even if others noticed the problem, they wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation.
See that!
Without a ninja world war, the Skyguard Tower would have no way to break free from its current constraints.
Therefore, Tohei pretended to be ill, giving the daimyo, the nobles, and the other major ninja villages a glimmer of hope, fearing that they wouldn't target him and initiate a ninja world war.
"Hmm... Why does my approach feel so familiar?"
Tohei reflected on his actions and felt something was amiss.
Soon, he realized the reason.
Wasn't this the style of the Eagle King from before his crossing over?
Stirring up conflicts, then taking advantage of the situation to expand or benefit from them, and rising through war.
It wasn't just similar; it was an exact match.
Hating the Eagle King, understanding the Eagle King, and becoming the Eagle King!
Tohei had made this determination.
Although he had cursed the Eagle King before his crossing over, now that he had the qualifications to do the same, there were only two words left to describe it.
So fragrant!
With these thoughts, he returned to Konoha.
