Chapter 104 Let's solve it all at once
After Souji led Sasori to annihilate two thousand Kirigakure soldiers.
Not long after, in addition to the Mizukage, Shinnosuke Sarutobi from Konoha also received the message.
After confirming it was correct several times, Shinnosuke was stunned.
The two of them, along with their summoning beast, annihilated the entire Kirigakure force of two members, including the leaders of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as well as several Jonin and Special Jonin, on the enemy's home turf in the ocean.
Even if Mochizuki Souji is truly a Kage-level fighter, such a record is still terrifying, isn't it?
Of course, this is not only Mochizuki Souji, but also his mysterious puppeteer and top-tier summoning beasts.
Dragons can fly in the sky, which is a huge advantage.
However, regardless of how an advantage is acquired, as long as it is usable, it is still part of one's strength.
Shinnosuke couldn't help but wonder if Jiraiya and Orochimaru, the two legendary Sannin, could do the same thing.
Although it was just a gut feeling, Shinnosuke felt that neither of them could probably do it, or even...
Although those two are also very strong, elite Jonin like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are definitely no match for them in a one-on-one fight, but no matter what, it will still take some effort to deal with elite Jonin.
And in the process, they also have to face attacks from others...
There are two thousand ninjas, including Jonin and Special Jonin, who should not be underestimated!
Mochizuki Souji actually accomplished what even the Sannin might not have been able to do.
"I never imagined that our generation would have such a powerful person besides Minato Namikaze... But this might affect Minato Namikaze a bit, right?"
Shinnosuke thought to himself with some emotion.
He is 27 years old now, only a few years younger than Souji and Minato, so he is considered to be of the same generation.
As a combat profession, ninjas naturally admire the strong.
Upon learning of Souji's achievements, Shinnosuke felt inferior and his opinion of Souji naturally began to change.
However, I also have some concerns.
Given his status, he knew that Minato Namikaze was currently being pushed to succeed him as Hokage.
Although I've heard that Mochizuki Souji and Namikaze Minato have a good relationship, if Mochizuki Souji's performance is significantly stronger, it might still have some impact...
Besides Shinnosuke, there is another troubled person.
Souji's terrifyingly strong performance in battle spread instantly among the Konoha ninja army, and Kakuzu also easily found out about it.
Naturally, this caused considerable distress.
"Annihilating two thousand Mist Villagers... This Mochizuki Souji seems stronger than expected..."
"What should we do now?
This is a ryo deal, it seems like such a waste just to give it up..."
Kakuzu pondered for a while, then quickly made a decision.
"Mochizuki Souji will eventually make another move against Kirigakure.
I'll go there and wait for an opportunity. When they're fighting, I'll make a sudden move at a crucial moment."
"It would be best if we could capture Mochizuki Souji.
Even if we can't, we can just leave immediately. I possess 'Earth Grudge Fear,' which grants me immortality. Even if I can't kill him, can't I at least escape?"
With the Mizukage recalling the other two units, Kirigakure took no further action, and peace was restored to the coastal areas of the Land of Fire, freeing them from the constant threat of Kirigakure incursions.
However, this means it's no longer as easy to accumulate a large amount of prestige.
The Hidden Mist Village has already regrouped; if they were to attack again, they would have to face the Mizukage and the Jinchūriki.
Although you could simply sneak past, suddenly burst out and kill some people, then immediately run away to avoid fighting the Mizukage.
However, running away as soon as you see the water's shadow would be a bit embarrassing.
I, Mochizuki Souji, am now a dignified elite Jonin of Konoha, one of the top figures in the ninja world, and I also have my pride.
With that thought in mind, the Souji looked at the system message.
[Upon reaching 800,000 reputation points, the reward is the True Dragon Nine Seals.]
[Renowned reputation reaches 900,000, reward: 900,000 Chakra]
[Fame: 935600 (Renowned throughout the ninja world)]
Two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone have 40,000 reputation points, plus eight Jonin, another 40,000, dozens of Special Jonin, and a total of 2,000 Chunin and Genin.
This battle earned them approximately 140,000 reputation points.
With a current reputation of over 930,000, it's not far from reaching 1 million reputation to upgrade its ultimate skill level.
I received another chakra bonus, bringing my total chakra to 1 million.
This enormous amount of chakra even surpasses that of most ordinary Kage-level beings.
While it's possible to summon five layers using Rashomon, it will deplete all the summons at once, so in practice, only four layers can be used.
Even if used to block a Tailed Beast Ball, if the opponent is not a perfect Jinchuriki and cannot fully mobilize the power of the Tailed Beast, then the Fourfold Rashomon should be able to block it.
A Tailed Beast Ball emitted by a complete Tailed Beast would require five Rashomon gates to block.
However, there are not many perfect Jinchuriki in the current ninja world.
It's a miracle that the old monk Bunpuku didn't die last time. Killer Bee has only just become a Jinchuriki and still needs time to get used to the Eight-Tails.
He is still far from becoming a perfect Jinchuriki.
So there's absolutely no need to worry about that.
As for the True Dragon Nine Seals...
In the original work, Akatsuki used a technique called Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals to extract tailed beasts from their jinchūriki.
The True Dragon Nine Seals given by the system, as its name suggests, is comparable to the Illusionary Dragon Nine Seals.
However, after modifications by the system, it has been changed so that even if the tailed beast is extracted from the Jinchuriki's body, it will not cause the Jinchuriki's death, and it also does not require the use of the Gedo Mazo (Demonic Statue of the Outer Path).
This technique... seems to be able to help me solve the problem of the tailed beasts.
In the previous conception of the Kage, we had considered taking in Jinchuriki as members, but at this point, several Jinchuriki are either too old or too young.
It's not a good idea to let people like that fight.
However, now that we have the True Dragon Nine Seals technique, we can extract the tailed beasts without harming their lives, and then seal them into members of the Kagebu or even ourselves, depending on the situation.
Anyway, it can be pulled back at any time.
After considering for a while, the Souji summoned Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
"Pass down the order: everyone prepare yourselves, we're launching a full-scale attack on Kirigakure!"
"Huh? We're taking the initiative?"
Shinnosuke looked surprised, then became quite embarrassed.
"But our troop strength is far inferior to that of Kirigakure..."
"Don't worry, I know. I don't want everyone to fight the Hidden Mist head-on when we are outnumbered.
You just need to hold back the enemy as much as possible. I will be the main force of the attack."
"This... does Lord Mochizuki also intend to rely on you and a few subordinates to deal with Kirigakure this time?"
Shinnosuke was even more surprised.
"That's right, the main force of the Konoha Ninja Army will be under your command.
I have no requirements, just do a good job of restraining and diverting attention."
After saying this, Souji ignored Shinnosuke's surprised expression and turned to look in the direction of the island where Kirigakure was located.
With a small number of troops remaining in Kirigakure and the loss of 2,000 men this time, the main force of Kirigakure should still have a total of about 12,000 men.
There were so many people, including five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and a large number of other Jonin and Special Jonin.
Collecting the final 60,000 or so reputation points will be a piece of cake.
Let's just take down Weiming, the Mizukage, and even the entire Kirigakure all at once!
