Chapter 78: I'm Back, and I Will Conquer the Five Great Nations!
Chapter 78: I'm Back, and I Will Conquer the Five Great Nations!
Perhaps the Four Celestial Beings didn't consult the almanac before leaving, but as Yuyi Xuan Yue traveled peacefully on his own, he suddenly found the four ninjas, who were supposed to be elsewhere, approaching him. They surrounded him like predators eyeing their prey.
"Is it unsafe to even step out in the ninja world these days?" Yuyi Xuan Yue lifted his straw hat, eyeing the four strangers with their peculiar ninja tools, and shook his head calmly.
Unsure of the identity of the man before them, but feeling incredibly fortunate, the Water Tiger, who could absorb and sense chakra, rubbed his hand over his body and excitedly said, "It's this guy! My armor sensed an incredibly vast amount of chakra from him, exactly what we need for our plan!"
"Is that so? Wonderful!" Baoguai laughed heartily. "The blessing of the Ancestor! This is truly destiny at work!"
Just like receiving a pillow when one is sleepy, the Four Celestial Beings never expected to encounter someone in the vast forest who could advance their plan to resurrect their Ancestor.
As for the stranger before them possessing immense chakra, his strength was undoubtedly formidable.
But so what?
Compared to facing the infamous Jinchuriki and the mighty Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, backing them, the Four Celestial Beings much preferred the stranger they had stumbled upon.
Regardless of this person's background, once they captured him here in the forest, the outside world would never know what happened.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's capture this guy and resurrect the Ancestor!" Dragon Eye drew his Dragon Eye Tooth Blade, eager to test it out.
"Resurrection?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue was about to swat away the four pesky flies buzzing around him when he suddenly heard one of them mention resurrection. Intrigued, he asked, "It sounds like you're planning to bring someone back from the dead?"
Upon hearing this, Baoguai, who was preparing something discreetly, glanced at Peacock.
Understanding the signal, Peacock lifted his chin proudly and said, "Stranger, to be able to participate in the resurrection of our Ancestor is a great honor for you."
Yuyi Xuan Yue chuckled. "Not just any cat or dog can be resurrected, you know."
Just bumping into a group of people on the road, and they talk about resurrecting some so-called ancestor.
When did resurrection become such a trivial matter?
It truly cheapens the meaning of the word.
Hearing Yuyi Xuan Yue's comment, Peacock's face twisted in anger. "Ignorant fool! Our Ancestor was a legendary figure like Yuyi Xuan Yue or Senju Hashirama! If Yuyi Xuan Yue can be resurrected, then so can our Ancestor!"
'Like me?'
Yuyi Xuan Yue stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Back then, aside from Senju Hashirama, there was Uchiha Madara, but he had never heard of anyone else who could rival them.
"What's your ancestor's name?" Yuyi Xuan Yue asked curiously.
Could there truly be hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the ninja world?
Just as Peacock was about to answer, Baoguai suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Ninja Tool: Iron Prison!"
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, incredibly sturdy iron bars shot out from the ground, forming an elliptical iron prison around Yuyi Xuan Yue, trapping him completely.
"We got him! And it was so easy," Baoguai said, relieved to see Yuyi Xuan Yue imprisoned by the ninja tool.
Dragon Eye sheathed his blade, looking bored. "Is that it? I thought we'd have a real battle. Didn't expect this guy to be so weak."
"So, can you tell me now who this Ancestor of yours is?" Yuyi Xuan Yue tapped on the steel prison that confined him, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he casually continued his inquiry.
Hearing the captive's calm tone, Baoguai felt a twinge of unease for some reason. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and replied in a cold voice, "You'll see for yourself soon enough."
With that, Baoguai formed a series of hand seals.
The next second, the steel prison trembled.
Yuyi Xuan Yue felt the chakra within his body being rapidly absorbed by the iron walls that surrounded him.
"A resurrection ritual that requires chakra, huh?" Yuyi Xuan Yue maintained his calm demeanor as he observed what was happening.
If it weren't for his curiosity about this so-called resurrection of their Ancestor, he could have easily broken free from this minor trick of the Four Celestial Beings.
As if reading his thoughts, the Four Celestial Beings didn't keep him waiting.
Soon, the iron prison bars were visibly filled with a substantial amount of blue chakra. Without hesitation, Baoguai clapped his hands, and a coffin was summoned before them.
"Ancestor, hear our call and resurrect fully!" Baoguai commanded, directing the absorbed chakra into the coffin.
With a loud bang, the coffin opened, revealing an aged corpse within.
Yuyi Xuan Yue looked on with curiosity.
"Who's this guy?" He had expected to recognize the so-called Ancestor that the Four Celestial Beings had boasted about. But after examining the body, he drew a blank.
At that moment, the Four Celestial Beings weren't finished yet.
After channeling a large amount of chakra into the Ancestor's body, Baoguai and the other three simultaneously formed hand seals.
In the next instant, the four advanced ninja tools—the Dragon Fang Blade, Infinite Void Armor, Peacock Twin Swords, and the Luminous Sword—detached themselves from their owners and swiftly flew towards the Ancestor's body.
But that wasn't all. Baoguai went a step further and performed the "Narcissus" secret technique, sacrificing his own life without hesitation.
A dazzling white light filled the area.
The coffin vanished.
In its place hovered the Ancestor, now youthful in appearance, adorned with the four ninja tools—the Ryujin (Dragon God) Tooth Blade, Infinite Kongo (Vajra) Armor, Kujaku (Peacock) Twin Swords, and the Kosei (Light Star) Sword.
"My efforts over the years have finally borne fruit. Ninja world, I have returned." The Ancestor, a man named Qingming, opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings with a sense of emotion.
Peacock, Dragon Eye, and Water Tiger immediately knelt, their eyes burning with fervor and admiration as they addressed their Ancestor. "We pay our respects, Ancestor Qingming!"
Qingming nodded in satisfaction as he looked upon the three, "My descendants, you have done well. From this day forward, I shall lead the Artisan Ninja Village to conquer the Five Great Nations and ascend to the pinnacle of the ninja world!"
Peacock, Dragon Eye, and Water Tiger trembled with excitement at his words.
As expected!
The day their Ancestor returned was indeed the day the Artisan Ninja Village would rise to dominate the ninja world, just as he had foretold in his past messages.
The three were about to pledge their loyalty to Ancestor Qingming, filled with emotion.
However, an untimely soft laugh interrupted them.
Qingming and the other three turned to look at the source.
Within the steel prison, Yuyi Xuan Yue smiled faintly and said,
"Conquer the Five Great Nations? That's an interesting ambition, Qingming of the Ninja Arts. I think I might remember who you are now."
