Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 13 The Terrifying Scythe Form

"Scythe mode activated!"

"fly!!"

A contract formation appeared beneath Yuuki's feet, and his chakra surged toward the Flying Mantis.

The anthropomorphic flying mantis released a puff of smoke, its two arms merged into a scythe, and the rest of its body transformed into a half-body armor, which was then placed on Yuuki's body.

He no longer looked frail; Yuuki's aura had become more sharp and imposing.

"Not bad!"

Yuuki felt the changes in his body and nodded in satisfaction.

The three-tomoe Sharingan has the ability to see through an enemy's attack movements, but seeing it doesn't mean being able to react to it.

After donning the armor, not only do they gain an incredibly powerful weapon, but they also gain a sharper reaction speed!

Even if they can't match the fighting strength of Jonin, they are definitely among the best at the Chunin level.

This is because Yuuki's development is insufficient, and the Scyther has not yet learned chakra.

If you let your Scythers roam freely for a period of time, their strength will even increase!

Immediately afterwards, Yuuki deactivated his scythe form, and the two of them, one human and one beast, stepped off the gashapon machine platform.

"Scyther! Use Slash on that patch of grass!"

Yushu extended his index finger, pointing to a patch of grass!

"fly!!"

The flying mantis leaped into the air and slashed hard at the grass in front of it!

Flying gives them a natural advantage when facing ninjas!

"Such fast flight speed!"

Yuuki subconsciously activated his Sharingan, carefully observing the Scyther's battle trajectory.

A flash of light appeared!

A patch of grass, along with fresh soil, flew up!

Like cutting tofu with a cleaver, you grab it and pinch it!

As expected, Yuuki nodded. The attack power of the Scyther was no less than that of a Chunin. Combined with its flight and ranged skills, even a senior Chunin might not be able to withstand it.

Not to mention, Scyther can continue to evolve!

Yuuki gasped. So, raising a dozen or so Scythers to evolve was equivalent to having a dozen or so Jonin.

The future is expected!

Having figured out the general situation of the summoned beasts, Yuuki decided to divide the habitats for the three major groups.

The unicorn bug doesn't need to be deliberately arranged. After verifying its stealth effect, it can be sent to the edge of the village to eat 'Naruto' food.

Regarding habitat, both green caterpillars and flying mantises need to be carefully considered.

Caterpillars are herbivores, but flying mantises are not!

Speaking of which, will these summoned beasts die? Should we prepare food for the Scyther? Will the small Green Grassland be eaten dry by the fifty-five Caterpie? And what are the conditions for unlocking the next color of the gashapon machine?

Sigh, that's how the psychic space is. The insects only need to think about feeding, but Yuuki has a lot more to consider.

After settling Qingqing Grassland, You Shu felt increasingly exhausted.

Head to the insect hive.

[Detoxifying Ants (3/1000)]

The birth of the Detoxifying Ant is not instantaneous; it requires gradual transformation by chakra.

Even at night, only two more detoxifying ants appeared.

However, what excites Yuuki is that the insect swarm he cultivates through the contract will also receive a return!

The new feature has a general but practical effect.

[Highly Venomous Swarm Resistance: When attacked by a highly venomous ant, each of the ant's antidote ants shares the damage. Fatal damage may only occur when the venom's resistance exceeds the combined resistance of you and the ant swarm.]

"Terrifying!"

Poison resistance may not sound powerful, but it's very useful in the ninja world!

Hanzo of the Land of Rain, the puppeteers of Sunagakure—who among them didn't rely on poison to survive in the ninja world?

Disabling their poison attack will at least weaken their fighting power by half!

After the harvest and inventory were completed, Master You, who had been busy for a day and a night, teleported home.

sleep!

......

Meanwhile, Tsunade rushed to the village overnight.

Late at night, at Mito Uzumaki's residence.

"Grandma Mito, how could Father have died? It was just a simple delivery mission!"

Tsunade had been traveling all the way, and her disheveled hair made her look somewhat disheveled. Her eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and her hands were firmly supporting her on the wooden table.

"The Jonin leading the team have already conducted a secret investigation."

Mito Uzumaki still looks young, but signs of aging are gradually appearing in her eyes and forehead.

She got up wearily, found a scroll and handed it to Tsunade, saying, "Our caravan was being attacked by a group from the Land of Rain while passing through the Land of Rain."

"Yanagi died unexpectedly in battle because he overused his chakra while protecting his comrades in the village."

Undeterred, Tsunade asked, "I've heard that many of the ninjas participating in missions are genin..."

"Where did you hear that?!" Mito Uzumaki sneered. "Don't let false information disturb your peace of mind. Such anxiety makes you easily provoked. How can you shoulder the responsibility of the Senju family?"

The hot-tempered Tsunade swallowed her angry words, her resentment turning into a helpless sigh, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Mito Uzumaki pulled Tsunade into his arms and explained, "You've been traveling all this way, how could the information about Yanagi's sacrifice have just happened to reach you?"

"Besides, it's perfectly normal for genin to escort merchant caravans. The idea that genin shouldn't participate... that's just enemy ninja sowing discord!"

"The situation in the ninja world is tense. If there really is a conspiracy, why target your father? Liu Jian is nearly forty years old, which is considered good among ordinary Jonin. But what does that amount to compared to your talent?"

This time, Tsunade's brows relaxed, and she looked thoughtful, as if there was some truth to it.

"But my father was attacked and killed in the Land of Rain. This is a very serious diplomatic issue, and could even be seen as the fuse for war. Why is the village..."

Faced with Tsunade's questioning, Mito Uzumaki's heart sank, and she softly comforted her, "The village... also has its difficulties. It's only been a day. You should rest first. Tomorrow you can see your father one last time, and then..."

"Okay, Grandma, you should go to bed early too."

Watching Tsunade leave, Mito Uzumaki sighed silently.

There are many suspicious points surrounding Yanagi's death, but she did not tell Tsunade.

Given Tsunade's personality, she would definitely smash the door to the Hokage's office after learning about those suspicious points.

but....

A complex expression flashed across Mito Uzumaki's face.

who can that be?

A monkey? Danzo? Or perhaps an Uchiha?

But a moment later, more names flashed through her mind.

Both domestically and internationally, there are far too many people who hope that the name 'Thousand Hands' will disappear!

In Konoha Village, the era of the Senju clan has long since passed.

She, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is nothing more than a remnant of the old era, dragging the Senju clan along in the new era.

She's getting old, and her eyesight is failing.

I just hope that in my old age, with my failing eyesight, I won't misjudge people!
