Chapter 990: Acquisition of the Flying Thunder God Formation!
Chapter 990: Acquisition of the Flying Thunder God Formation!
Izuna held a bloodied Ninjato, standing before the headless corpse of Kanabou Uzumaki.
"I've returned from hell!" she declared.
Her intention was to break down their mental defenses and gather more intelligence.
For instance, she wanted to know if anyone else possessed the Flying Thunder God Formation or where the scroll containing the technique was hidden.
Although the Lander of the Sunbright also had teleportation arrays, they were fixed in location and consumed a significant amount of chakra, making them far less convenient than the Flying Thunder God Formation.
It wasn't that Dang Ping's abilities were lacking, but with too many projects on his hands, he hardly had time to devote to the teleportation arrays.
Even managing to develop them was already impressive, and others could gradually study them afterward.
It was impossible to expect him to handle everything.
However, the Flying Thunder God Formation created by Yamashiro Aobara and Raidou Namiashi was so well-developed that obtaining it would save a tremendous amount of research time.
Considering this, Izuna intentionally took this approach.
Additionally, she sensed danger.
Yamashiro Aobara!
The man gave her a sense of threat, as if he could kill her.
Normally, this should be impossible.
As an elite Jonin, he was far below her level as a Hyper Shadow-tiered individual. With a casual swing of her sword, she could easily dispatch him, but her instincts warned her of a powerful hidden technique he might possess.
For powerful individuals, instincts are often more reliable than their eyes, so Izuna's caution wasn't just about acquiring the Flying Thunder God Formation; it was also a precaution.
She wasn't reckless, nor would she act without regard for her safety just because she had life-saving abilities.
If necessary, she could be direct, but there was no such need at the moment, so she opted for a more cautious approach.
Her Mangekyou Sharingan, Igennaki, had only been used against Yu, and even then, he might have guessed some of its capabilities. Others might know that her Mangekyou had acceleration powers, but they were unlikely to be aware of Igennaki's true potential.
Therefore, her Mangekyou possessed a 'first-strike kill' effect, and she didn't want to expose herself through recklessness.
As for why she pressured them, it was to shatter their mental defenses.
Do you remember the route Izuna took?
Speed and Genjutsu!
She wasn't just a speed-type fighter.
During her battle with Kanabou Uzumaki, she even managed to break through his strongest Genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, solely through her proficiency in Genjutsu.
Her current interaction with the two men was a means to create the conditions for casting Genjutsu.
If it were just about killing, there would be no need for such complexity.
However, sensing danger and desiring their Flying Thunder God Formation, she first eliminated Kanabou Uzumaki, using his corpse to draw attention, then prolonged the conversation to create an opportunity to control them with Genjutsu.
In fact, Izuna succeeded.
A faint red light flickered in Yamashiro Aobara's eyes, revealing the activation of his Sharingan!
Being proficient in Genjutsu himself, and with Izuna, a Hyper Shadow-tiered specialist, casting it, dealing with an elite Jonin would be a breeze.
The only concern was whether there might be some kind of mental protection in his mind, or else a single glance could be enough to defeat him.
As for Raidou Namiashi sitting beside him?
He appeared unaffected, but in reality, Izuna had already dealt with him, and he was merely pretending to be normal under the influence of her Genjutsu.
Should Yamashiro Aobara show any signs of resistance, even without Izuna's direct intervention, she could control Raidou Namiashi to backstab him.
One could say that her tactical mind was ruthless!
As for the Konoha ninjas nearby who noticed something amiss and wanted to rush over to help the two men, they would first have to break through Izuna's Yingfenshen.
Of course, she had another ally.
"Ninjutsu!"
After temporarily controlling Yamashiro Aobara, Izuna immediately summoned a helper using Ninjutsu.
Being a disciple of Dang Ping, Izuna naturally had a contract with the Jinwu Clan.
As for Zhongbingwan?
This Sauru Lizard was indeed powerful, and its abilities were useful, but there was only one of them, and their appearance wasn't particularly appealing. So, Izuna, TenTen, and others contracted with the Jinwu Clan, while Suigetsu, Shino, and Kiba contracted with other clans.
A loud croak echoed as several large Jinwu birds appeared amidst the white smoke.
They weren't Taiyi or other Sage-level Jinwu birds but Jinwu birds of a size comparable to large ninja beasts.
In the past, there weren't many Jinwu birds of this size, but under the influence of abundant natural energy, their numbers had increased significantly, allowing Izuna to summon them at will.
"Izuna!" 4
Four Jinwu appeared, without a hint of the arrogance of the Sacred Land Clan, and they all respectfully greeted Izuna.
"Help me stall the enemies around!"
Izuna gave the order without hesitation.
As a disciple of Dang Ping, her status among the Jinwu Clan was extremely special.
Not only these large Jinwu, but even Taiyi would give her face.
Guagua!
The four Jinwu each took on a side, flapping their wings to create a fierce wind, blowing away the incoming ninjutsu weapons, and then opening their mouths.
A terrifying flame illuminated the surroundings, engulfing the approaching Konoha ninjas.
The stage for large-scale summoning beasts is not for one-on-one battles or small-scale fights; it is on the battlefield.
Because a single attack is equivalent to a high-level ninjutsu.
These three Jinwu perfectly demonstrated this principle.
Even if it was just a simple manipulation of flame attacks, it wasn't too exhausting for them, but for the Konoha ninjas, it was a devastating disaster, leaving them with no choice but to stay back.
As for the strong Konoha ninjas?
They were too busy to come to the rescue, allowing Izuna to run rampant.
illigible text!
After the flames dissipated, Izuna just managed to swing her sword and behead two people.
Puff, puff!
Amidst the continuous sound of flesh and blood piercing, two more headless corpses fell.
Just as the two died, a streak of pitch-black light instantly devoured everything around.
Deep within that darkness was Izuna.
The speed was too fast.
The black light that erupted from Yamashiro Aobara's body had an effect similar to the 'Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique', consuming the surrounding space.
However, a similar effect doesn't mean a similar nature.
One uses sealing techniques to devour space, while the other uses spatial power to tear apart the space around the body.
The trigger condition is the death of Yamashiro Aobara, and even he himself doesn't know about it.
This is the true killing move! A trap that uses oneself to specifically target strong opponents.
No matter how strong one's strength is, they cannot defend against this space-shattering attack.
The key is the speed of activation... with almost no delay.
So even Izuna fell for it.
Of course, the prerequisite for falling into the trap is not knowing this information.
Since even Yamashiro Aobara himself didn't know, Izuna had no way of learning this information from him.
And this style of action made it easy to guess that it was Root's doing.
Whether it's the type of trap or the style, it's as if it's written all over with their name.
Under the moonlight, a figure reappeared.
It was Izuna!
She had indeed been torn apart by space, but the Mangekyou ability she had set up in advance activated, turning her recent death into an illusion.
No matter how powerful the attack, it's useless against Igennaki's unreasonable 'cheating divine skill'.
And since Izuna can use Igennaki both actively and passively, even if she was killed without any reaction, it's impossible to stop this Mangekyou from activating.
If it were Toba, even with dozens of revival coins, it wouldn't work, as it requires the intention or hand seals to use.
But this death, surpassing mere intention, left her unable to activate anything.
Now do you understand the value of the Mangekyou Igennaki?
With this ability, she's not afraid of any seals, death, and so on.
Even Dang Ping envied Izuna's Mangekyou ability.
Too powerful!
The Mangekyou ability, when it comes to combat, is indeed not that impressive. Just look at the so-called strongest physical attack, Amaterasu, and the strongest illusion, Tsukuyomi.
But abilities like Kamui, Tian zhi chang li, and Igennaki, which have no offensive power, are a bit too explosive in effect.
Note that Kamui is indeed considered an 'assist' type.
Even in the original plot, Kakashi could twist people from a distance, but in the strictest sense, it's just space distortion, unrelated to combat, and can only be used in battles.
Izuna rarely uses Igennaki, but when she does, it's almost like giving her an extra life.
The gains are also significant.
The Futonkou no Jyou... obtained.
Next, Kuro Suke's backup plan appeared.
