Chapter 546 The Hunter
The blond boy searches for the Grell ore in the ruins.
Wearing a monocle, Hyde, the leader of the main force of the fleet that raids coastal villages, has been wearing a smug smile these days.
"The mine is nearby, Temxun, come with me."
Hiruho hid his hands inside his long sleeves, ignoring Temson who walked away with Hyde.
His Sharingan had already detected the unusual chakra flow in this area.
The existence of the mineral vein was completely clear to him.
To his surprise, the mineral vein itself did not exist as a solid substance, but rather as a flowing liquid hidden underground, like a river.
The Grell ore in Hyde's hand and inside the body of the boy named Tem Xun was a round, blue-green gemstone.
Even the samples Shennong showed him were examples of this, so there must be a device here to shape them.
As Hiruko was making his calculations, the chakra river underground suddenly became active.
He turned his gaze, and Hyde emerged from a cave entrance, his smile unchanged from when he left.
But his clothes were starting to tear, revealing his muscular physique.
His hair had turned from dark red to gray, his lips could no longer cover his canine teeth, and his protruding gums were covered with saliva.
"This is it."
"That's the power."
Hiruko's Sharingan coldly observed the mutating body.
"Do not use the power here recklessly. Before you take it away, you will attract unnecessary attention, and you cannot afford the consequences."
"Take responsibility?" Hyde couldn't help but chuckle at first, his vertical, beastly eyes now filled with excitement.
"What are you talking about, Hiruko? Everything here belongs to me. I didn't take anything away."
Green energy gathers in his hands.
"This is my own kingdom."
Behind Hyde, the blond boy was bewildered by his lapse in composure: "Lord Hyde—"
Hiruko had already gone through a phase of explosive power increase: "Did absorbing too much power at once mess up your brain?"
Hyde flicked his finger and fired an energy blast several centimeters thick at Biruho, his smile growing increasingly arrogant.
"You're all useless now!"
Hiruko raised his left arm, and the energy pulse that was powerful enough to pierce through rock was drawn into his palm by an invisible vortex.
Hyde stood frozen in place, the image reflected in his beast eyes no longer being Hiruko, but rather an illusion forcibly implanted by the Sharingan.
Tem Xun snapped out of his daze, drew his sword, rushed to Hyde, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, and pointed the tip of the sword at Hiruko.
"Back off!"
Biluhu paid no attention to this futile resistance; his attention remained focused on the continuously boiling energy rivers underground.
If this continues, the mine may be detonated.
Where is the processing equipment?
He asked.
Tem snapped, "I won't tell you."
The next second, Hiruko's Sharingan met his gaze. The resistance in the boy's eyes vanished, the sword tip dropped, and he murmured something.
"I don't know, Lord Hyde didn't mention it."
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Hiruko's eyes.
If we can't get the processing equipment, all we can take away are the existing ore samples and some liquid energy.
Just as he was pondering other methods, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
A white haori hung down at her feet.
Hiruko lowered his hand: "Chief."
Cixian's gaze fell upon the boiling light beneath the ground.
"Hidden in a place like this."
The man possessed by the Otsutsuki tree uttered a sound of praise.
"The energy this world possesses is indeed extraordinary."
"Hiruko, I'm leaving this place to you."
Cixian lifted his foot and gently placed it down. Cracks appeared in the ground, spreading out from the toes of his foot, and rubble fell, revealing a vertical passage hidden beneath the rock strata.
Cixian leaped into the darkness.
Hiruko raised his hand, aiming it at Hyde, who was still trapped in the illusion, and the energy absorbed by the Dark Escape transformed into a thin blade.
The trajectory of the slash was crisp and clean.
Before Hyde's gray head rolled onto the stone floor, blood had already soaked his unconscious body.
After finding the Grell mine, all that remained of the bandit leader's assets were his fleet and the mobile fortress.
His core members were three bandits, and the rest were either fools or children. Shennong would have no difficulty taking over this business.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that after killing this idiot, his men became easier to manage.
Hiruko turned around and walked to the blond boy who was slumped on the ground.
Tem slumped to the ground, his sword slipping from his grasp, his gaze falling upon Hyde's fallen head.
"Can't you see it now? Do you really think a bandit can bring about a so-called peaceful utopia?"
He casually took the Grell ore from Hyde's corpse and then took another one from Temson's body.
Having lost the power of the ore, Temu Xun lay slumped on the spot, his gaze unfocused.
Hiruko didn't kill him; there was no point in killing a child who had been deceived and had no strength whatsoever besides a little martial arts skill.
He walked to the other side, examining the two blue-green gemstones in his hand as he went.
This is what Shennong used to persuade him to cooperate in the first place.
His Ghost Sprout Technique has already reached structural perfection, and it is difficult to make structural breakthroughs. However, if he makes progress numerically using sufficiently powerful energy, it may be a new path.
Later, Shennong thoroughly introduced a new leader.
Jigen offered far more advice than Nagato could have provided.
Regarding the fusion of bloodline limits, the leap in life forms, and the deeper levels that the Oni-Garuru technique may touch.
In that case, a complete change of position would not be unacceptable.
All we can say is that the version has been updated to the present, Cixian is stronger, and what he has mastered is more valuable, and he has not really stabbed the original leader in the back.
Having done this, Hiruko felt he had repaid Nagato's kindness.
Hiruko sat down against the stone wall of the ruins, pondering his next move.
Cixian had promised that some of the ore could be kept as research material for him.
Before officially transporting them away, he had to confirm how these samples could function within the framework of the Ghost Sprout Technique.
Day and night alternate without us even realizing it.
The turmoil of the underground river finally subsided completely. Tem Xun had somehow already staggered away from the ruins.
Hiruko continued to study the ore.
Then a loud bang came from above.
Pebbles rained down.
Hiruko's Sharingan caught two streaks of red in that gray-white expanse—the red of the armor.
He activated Swift Escape.
His figure vanished from the spot, and then the man landed.
Long, black hair flew wildly in the aftershocks of the impact.
Hiruko felt a tingling sensation in his back.
His body reacted before his consciousness did.
The Sharingan caught the slight movement of the other person's shoulder blade, and Swift Release pulled the whole person diagonally out of the shadow.
The gravel exploded into powder where he had just been standing.
He had no time to catch his breath as the newcomer followed closely behind.
It was clearly just a simple pursuit based on physical techniques, without using any special techniques, yet the speed was so fast that even Swift Escape couldn't create a safe distance.
The two exchanged several blows in a short span of time. However, Hiruko's attacks had no effect when they struck his opponent's body.
The man standing among the rubble didn't move; he simply watched everything quietly.
Then blue light burst forth at the edge of his retina.
A knife.
It slid diagonally from his ribs to his collarbone. Hiruko lowered his head; his steel-escape technique offered no resistance.
Hiruko slowly turned his gaze.
"you----"
"Uchiha Madara."
He pronounced the name, then looked at another man.
"——-Hadaime."
Two bodies resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation stood before him.
Madara's arm remained in the posture of swinging the chakra blade, and the blue afterglow of Susanoo slowly dissipated around him.
Orochimaru, once again, betrayed them and left after bringing them into the new organization.
Hashirama Senju looked at Hiruko, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Are they children from the village?"
The blade of Madara Susanoo lit up again, and a blue light slashed across, severing Hiruko's body in two.
Madara said, "Just a clown."
Hashirama looked at the two severed bodies, let out a soft sigh, and then his eyes sharpened as he waited intently for his true opponent to appear.
Beneath the ground, Cixian, who was transforming the blue-green river into solid stones and transferring them into another dimension, noticed the movement above. He stopped what he was doing and came to the ruins.
In Jigen's black eyes, he saw more than just two resurrected dead.
"Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha."
Cixian's tone remained as flat as ever.
"Your presence here means your master has chosen to defy me?"
"Owner?"
Ban's lips curled up.
His face, ripped apart by the patterns of filthy earth, was filled with undisguised disdain.
"Who?"
When Cixian looked again, he found that the two of them were not restrained: "Have the toys gone out of control, Orochimaru?"
7
He walked slowly toward the two of them.
"Leave. You are not worth a second glance now."
Madara's smile deepened: "Is that so?"
The moment the provocative words fell, the man in white appeared before Ban.
Before Madara Uchiha could even wipe the smile off his face, he was sent flying by a kick.
The red armor shattered several stone pillars, and rubble and dust scattered in the center of the ruins.
Before the air could even ripple, several shuriken had already slashed in from the side.
Hashirama Senju's throw had no blind spots, but Jigen's figure disappeared as his shuriken pierced through the spot where he had just stood and embedded itself in the stone slab.
A tiny, compassionate string appeared on Hashirama's shoulder.
"You don't know who you're going to be facing."
Before Hashirama could answer, several black rods struck his pressure points and pierced through his body.
Then the pierced areas began to change.
Dark brown wood sprouted from the edge of the wound, and branches twined around the black stick toward Cixian.
"A clone?"
Cixian's pupils were fixed on these branches.
But he discovered that his pupil technique couldn't shrink them.
It was actually a piece of living wood.
He chose to dodge.
At this moment, the entire site began to tremble, and thick tree roots emerged from the ground, quickly covering the entire ground.
As Cixian leaped into the air, he watched the branches hurtling towards him, and black marks began to appear on his body.
He pulled out a long black stick with his backhand, and with a twist of his hand, he shattered the vines one by one.
Madara's figure darted through the gaps between countless intertwined branches, his Susanoo's chakra blade slicing a fierce arc.
Jigen once again used his eye technique, Shona Hikona, shrinking his body and standing on Madara's blade, rushing forward along the blade.
Banna's red kaleidoscope locked onto his movements, but unusually found that her reaction was not fast enough.
Jigen reappeared in front of Madara, and with a single blow, Susanoo's outer armor shattered.
Seven or eight black rods were simultaneously driven into Madara's impure body, causing him to crash directly to the ground from mid-air.
The spotted object fell among the rubble.
"Excellent speed! Excellent power!"
Laughter burst from his throat, filled with undisguised excitement.
"That's more interesting!"
Cixian raised her head.
Hashirama Senju stood atop the enormous wooden golem, its massive wooden fist filling his field of vision.
There was no time to dodge.
Cixian immediately chose to open the alternate dimension and quickly entered it.
The fist pierced through the spot where he had just been standing, shattering Ban's impure body and creating a deep crater in the ground.
In the smoke and dust, Ban's body reformed.
He stood on the wooden figure's fist, looking up at the pillar.
"This power. You have many grievances against me, Hashirama."
The First Hokage said cheerfully, "This is a tactic that matches the Impure World Reincarnation, Madara."
Ban chuckled and saw that Jigen was stepping out of the alternate dimension again, his high fighting spirit manifesting in his words.
"Let's try something new, Hashirama!"
Blue chakra climbed upwards along the wooden figure's thick lower limbs, wrapping around the wood fibers layer by layer.
The armor took shape on the giant's shoulders, and the visor covered his face, which was covered in mottled wood grain.
The ruins collapsed in large sections, revealing the leaden-gray sky above.
Mighty Wooden Dummy.
A blue giant stood in the center of the ruins, a greatsword materializing in its hand.
The length of the knife from hilt to tip exceeded that of the wooden figure itself.
Madara stood on the giant's forehead, with Hashirama standing beside him.
The two of them simultaneously raised their eyes and looked at that point of white.
The air was torn apart into white shockwaves on both sides of the blade, the sonic boom unable to keep up with the trajectory of the blade, and the ground began to collapse before the sound even started.
Cixian stood in the shadow of the blade and raised his head.
To continue the fight, we must unleash more power. Although the underground ore has not yet been fully collected, there is no need to continue the fight.
Having weighed the gains and losses, the man in white disappeared from above the ruins.
Cixian, who had hidden in another dimension, pondered the current situation.
Madara Uchiha, who should have been fighting to the death with the villages in the ninja world, appeared here.
He doesn't plan to go directly to hold Orochimaru accountable.
The first thing to do is to bring back the body you truly desire.
Before he is fully resurrected, let them have the battlefield.
Cixian came to a conclusion.
He sensed the location of the wedge he had landed on, and the next moment, his figure appeared in front of the black-haired boy in white.
At this moment, Hyuga Neji was helping to clear the road outside the village, with the nearest people still hundreds of meters away.
Upon seeing Jigen appear, Neji's previously sealed memories resurfaced.
The fragments that should have been blurry in the dark river suddenly flooded into his consciousness.
He was about to speak, but Cixian acted even faster.
The boy lost consciousness.
Cixian caught his falling body without making a sound.
The two figures disappeared from the side of the village road.
