Chapter 590: Kara's Invitation
Deidara played with clay all day and scoffed at things like wine, women, wealth, and lust, which were very harmful to the body. In a cultivation world, he would be in a typical "primordial yang intact" state. His skin was no worse than many girls'. At 1.66 meters tall and 50 kilograms in weight, his figure was not at all burly.
Blonde hair, earrings, a crop top, and sandals—all these were fine.
He even used clay to slightly modify his face, like wearing a mask. In this respect, he was better than Ino, who was just copying from a secret technique scroll. Ino had never thought that the clay secret technique could have such a disguise effect.
After dressing up, Deidara felt that his appearance was not much different from the real Ino.
His appearance was not a problem. In the dark, no one would be able to tell the difference. But his chakra could not be faked.
"Hey, kid, can we really sneak in like this?" he asked his temporary companion, a young ninja monk named "Sora."
Sora was from the Fire Temple and even had a token from the abbot, Chiriku. However, a week ago, he had discovered that the Konoha ninja were highly suspected of killing his father, Kazuma, a radical ninja who was one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. When he questioned the temple's higher-ups about this, the Fire Temple had played deaf and dumb.
In a fit of anger, Sora had chosen to come to Konoha to find the truth.
He had a power within him. He didn't know that it was actually the Nine-Tails' chakra that his father, Kazuma, had collected during the Nine-Tails' attack. He only knew that this power could make him incredibly strong.
At this moment, facing Deidara's question, he bit his lip. "Don't worry, we can definitely get in."
Chiriku was Asuma's best friend and also the abbot of the Fire Temple. He would sometimes come to Konoha to visit his friend in a private capacity.
Relying on Chiriku's token, Sora and Deidara did not trigger the Sensory Division's alarm and successfully snuck into the village.
After entering the village, the two of them separated.
Sora was going to find Asuma to ask about the truth of his father's death, while Deidara was going to find Sasuke Uchiha.
In the Land of Hot Water, a thousand miles away.
"The Ōtsutsuki clan are the true gods! All of you ninja are going to die!" The leader of the Ōtsutsuki cult was a burly middle-aged man named Boro.
This guy had the combat level of a jonin from a major ninja village. After Sai and the others had taken him down, they found that he could recover his body in an incredible way. No matter how severe the injury, he could recover quickly. Even if his head was cut off by a sharp blade, he could regenerate.
Boro roared wildly, "Hahahaha—I am immortal! This is a gift from God to me! You puny ninja, I will crush you one by one!"
"I know more about the Ōtsutsuki than you do, so a small fry like you should just die." Ino opened her five fingers, and Universal Pull was activated.
Boro struggled desperately, but his burly body still flew uncontrollably towards her.
Boro's body looked burly, but it was actually a creation of technology. His body had obviously undergone a large number of surgical modifications. There were large exhaust ports on his temples, chest, shoulders, and arms. How could a normal person have these things? During battle, his chakra could release a rather deadly poison gas from the exhaust ports. This move had made Sai and the others fight with their hands tied, and they had been in a sorry state.
Ino felt there was nothing to say to a madman like this. Planetary Devastation, go!
Boro had a regeneration core similar to Sasori's in his body. Once this regeneration core was crushed, his regeneration ability would completely disappear.
The leader of the Ōtsutsuki cult was turned into a bloody mess of flesh. All the core members of the cult were eliminated. The uninformed followers were dispersed and would be resettled in the surrounding countries. In the current transportation environment, this separation was basically equivalent to a permanent farewell.
"Ino-kun's style of doing things is as ruthless and precise as ever. A true natural-born ninja leader. If I may be so bold, was that a Rinnegan you were using just now?" Orochimaru revealed himself from the shadows. The bodies of many core members of the Ōtsutsuki cult were scattered on the ground. The thick smell of blood made him can't help but lick his lips.
Ino looked at him and asked calmly, "What? Does Lord Orochimaru want to teach me a lesson? Or was that guy who was messed up by human modification your subordinate?"
"No, no, I can't beat a Rinnegan. I just knew Boro. In the eyes of many believers, Boro was a good man. What a pity... I did come here for something. There is a... hmm, a scientist who hopes I can introduce you two."
What kind of scientist could get Orochimaru to be a lobbyist?
Ino had a guess. She thought for a moment, then gave Sai a look. The former Root ninja all retreated without a sound.
After everyone had left, she asked, "Is it a long way to go?"
Orochimaru shook his head lightly. "No, it's not far."
A quarter of an hour later, in a rather simple tavern on the roadside in the Land of Hot Water, Ino saw a middle-aged man in his early thirties.
His face was slightly old, but his eyes were bright, and he had an extremely calm and confident aura.
The middle-aged man's tone was heavy. "Miss Yamanaka, time is short, so I'll be brief. My name is Amado Sanzu. I'm a member of the Kara organization, but I believe I'm on your side."
Ino smiled. "You believe?"
Amado said seriously, "Friendship comes from both sides, doesn't it? This requires enough trust between each other. But at present, I don't think we have any basis for trust. This requires us to be more frank and more pragmatic."
Ino looked at Orochimaru at the side. Orochimaru was drinking tea by himself and didn't participate in the conversation.
She said, "An ordinary person like you, what do you want to talk to me about? What can you talk to me about?"
Amado threw out the question bluntly. "Does Miss Yamanaka know about the Ōtsutsuki clan?"
Ino answered very cautiously this time. "I know the Sage of Six Paths."
Amado was also being evasive. "The Sage of Six Paths' rebellion against the Rabbit Goddess is both a myth and a history. The Rabbit Goddess came from beyond the heavens. She did not come alone. She had a companion. Now, her companion is still alive, and he is in the Kara organization."
Amado kept looking at his watch, which had a strange countdown on it.
"As you can see, I am just a scientist, not a ninja. I can't use your ninjutsu. To eliminate that Ōtsutsuki, we must borrow the power of you ninja."
He took out a metal block, like a Rubik's Cube. With a few light taps of his thumb, an energy portal, more than a person's height, rose up on the spot.
"If you trust me, you can come with me. I will show you more evidence."
Amado stepped in. Orochimaru also followed in with a chuckle.
