[Thump—]
[Pfft—]
[Click—]
The sand enveloping Tos suddenly contracted.
Then a strange sound came from inside.
Immediately afterwards, blood, along with internal organs and bone fragments, gushed out.
[Tos—died!]
Tobirama Senju: "It may seem cruel, but it's actually a very gentle ninjutsu."
Tobirama Senju: "Just as Gaara himself said, he is indeed so powerful that he can make enemies who are no match for him die without feeling any pain."
Uchiha Izuna: Interesting.
Uchiha Izuna: He wraps the enemy's body in sand, then uses the internal pressure to crush the enemy to pieces in an instant.
Uchiha Izuna: Similarly, other escaping techniques are also possible, but it's difficult to achieve the same level of freedom as Gaara.
Tobirama Senju: "Not bad, Water Release can do that too, as can Big Brother's and Naruto's Wood Release."
Orochimaru: "The difficulty lies in the precise control of chakra."
Orochimaru: "There are two ways. One is to crush them directly, and the other is to seal them off completely, using air pressure."
...
Temari and Kankuro looked embarrassed.
However, I was still shocked.
Is this the same type of absolute power as absolute strength?
I only watched it once.
They directly and thoroughly analyzed Gaara's abilities.
Gaara's weaknesses are also quite obvious.
Water escape.
[Moonlight Gale gritted his teeth.]
[Do not make a sound.]
This year's genin... seem a bit too strong.
He held his breath and, using his teleportation ability, silently crept downwards.
The effect of the teleportation technique was also about to wear off.
However, just as Moonlight Gale was about to dispel his teleportation technique to pause before leaving...
In the darkness, a figure suddenly approached at an incredible speed.
[Moonlight Gale felt a chill run down his spine and immediately held his breath.]
[Continue to maintain the concealment.]
[Whoosh—]
Soon, the figure flashed past him.
Even at close range, the figure was moving at extremely high speed.
Hayate Gekko still managed to spot the animal mask on its face.
[Anbu?]
["No..."]
Driven by curiosity.
[Moonlight and Gale followed the direction the figure had gone.]
[Immediately noticed Maki on the upper floor of the guesthouse in the distance.]
[Go take a look.]
[If this mission is completed successfully, I might get more vacation time and extra rewards.]
"Maybe... I can get a decent sword technique... then, Yugao probably won't refuse me... let's study and learn sword techniques together?"
[Moonlight Gale: Try to keep your breath down.]
We soon arrived at a location that wasn't too far away.
[Whoosh—]
[Kabuto Yakushi appears before Maki.]
Looking at Maki, whose face was half-covered by a headscarf, Kabuto Yakushi removed his mask first.
"It's you?" Maki frowned when he saw Kabuto's face.
Where is Orochimaru?
Why didn't he come in person?
Upon hearing this, the Pharmacist's lips curled slightly.
"Lord Orochimaru would naturally not come personally for such a trivial matter."
If Orochimaru were to come, Maki wouldn't be qualified to meet him.
A cold glint flashed in Maki's eyes.
However, it was quickly suppressed again.
[Although it's somewhat embarrassing, if Orochimaru really comes in person...]
He was indeed not qualified to discuss future plans with him.
[It really was him!]
["Kabuto Yakushi...is indeed related to Orochimaru!"]
[Moonlight and a sudden gust of wind caused him to catch his breath.]
[I can't believe I actually made a discovery.]
[And this discovery is quite significant.]
"Hmph!" Maki snorted coldly.
"The Konoha Crush Plan, the Sound Ninja... When will Orochimaru officially make his move?!"
"I need it to be accurate."
"Also, Gaara has been losing control more and more frequently lately."
"Don't tell me, you'll tell me when the time comes!"
Kabuto adjusted his reflective glasses.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, yet it concealed a sinister, serpentine edge.
["certainly."]
"The specific time is set after the third round of the Chunin Exams officially begins... after Uchiha Sasuke... no, after the first round of the competition ends."
Maki glanced at Kabuto Yakushi with some surprise.
[I didn't expect Kabuto to actually give a specific time.]
["Uchiha Sasuke..."]
[Baki was about to bring up the matter of Uchiha Sasuke.]
Gaara has been losing control far too easily lately for some reason.
[If I lose control during the battle... and accidentally kill Uchiha Sasuke, that would be a real problem.]
"It's alright," Kabuto Yakushi suddenly smiled.
"There's no need to worry about Uchiha Sasuke anymore."
[Um? ]
[Maki was taken aback.]
Previously, Kabuto had repeatedly warned against taking any action against Sasuke Uchiha.
"There's no reason why."
"Your most important task is to stabilize Sunagakure first."
"Those guys don't seem to be very obedient."
"Don't let us get exposed."
"Lord Orochimaru paid a considerable price to infiltrate this time."
"Hmph!" Maki sneered. "That's your business. The distribution of profits has already been discussed!"
"Are you trying to raise the price?"
["..."
The two talked as if no one else was around.
[Moonlight Gale heard this and his back was soaked with cold sweat.]
[The attempt to kidnap Uchiha Sasuke... no, it's been cancelled.]
Destroy Konoha... The Konoha Crush Plan.
Orochimaru, the Sound Ninja, and the Sand Village have joined forces.
[Preparing to do this in front of powerful daimyo, nobles, ninja leaders, and others.]
[Initiate the Konoha Crush Plan.]
[They also planned to assassinate the Third Hokage in public.]
Each of these messages made Moonlight Gale's heart skip a beat.
[This is too dangerous!]
["I never imagined... Orochimaru was actually the mastermind behind Otogakure."]
["As an ally… the Land of Wind… no, the daimyo of the Land of Wind might not know, or perhaps… it's a game, a gamble among daimyo?"]
[How could Sunagakure be colluding with Orochimaru and Otogakure to attack Konoha?!]
[The Konoha Crush Plan... Oh no!]
[Moonlight Hayate suddenly realized something.]
So many ninjas... how did they manage to infiltrate Konoha?
There's a mole!!!
This discovery sent chills down Moonlight Gale's spine.
Moreover... the position of an insider is still extremely high.
[It's very likely... that it's the former Hokage's assistant (who has a well-known reputation), and those two Hokage advisors whose positions are now precarious!]
["etc! "]
[Moonlight Swift Wind's pupils suddenly contracted.]
[not good! ]
Just as he was stunned, confused, and shocked...
I didn't notice at all.
The conversation between Kabuto and Maki had stopped for quite some time.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so careless."
"There's no way around it... This is Konoha after all, and besides, it's a ninja with a special bloodline limit."
"Alright, I'll handle this rat," Maki shook his head.
"Well, I'm really sorry then." Kabuto Yakushi narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold killing intent flashing within them.
Their gazes fell upon the tree where the moonlight and the swift wind were hidden.
Only then did the moonlight and the swift wind suddenly realize what was happening.
His teleportation effect has disappeared.
[run! ]
