Bang!
Kenshi created a shadow clone ten thousand meters in the air.
At this point, Kenshi had perfectly transformed into Kenshi.
His body was adapted to the Lightning Release Armor mode. The shadow clone he created was also in Kenshi's physical state, so he could use the Lightning Release Armor mode.
Zzzzt… The shadow clone thought for a moment and activated the Lightning Release chakra mode.
At the same time, the Black Iron Chains and the Diamond Seal were wrapped around the shadow clone, one inside the other, eighteen layers in total.
Kenshi looked over. In the air, a hundred meters away, a giant sphere made of golden chakra chains stood still in the air.
With Kenshi's current chakra strength, plus Kenshi's defense in his physical state,
The shadow clone, with such heavy defenses, would be able to withstand even a small Tailed Beast Ball.
This level of defense was perfect for testing the power of the Wind Release Slash.
"Let's see. The Wind Release Slash, which is comparable in chakra strength to the Dust Release kekkei tōta, what kind of power does it have?"
Kenshi raised his right hand, brought his sword fingers together, and held them upright. Wind Release Slash chakra gathered on his sword fingers, condensing into an extremely refined wind blade. It was light and transparent, like a wisp of silk, invisible to the naked eye.
In Kenshi's chakra perception, the nature strength of the Wind Release Slash chakra was already on par with the nature strength of Dust Release chakra. He just didn't know if its power was as strong as Dust Release.
Clang!
Kenshi slashed his sword fingers downwards towards the golden chakra chain sphere in the distance.
In an instant, the world seemed to stand still.
At this moment, the air in front of Kenshi seemed to become solid, like a thick piece of transparent glass. You could clearly see the air being cut in half.
Boom!
The shadow clone, which was wrapped in layers of Diamond Seals and Black Iron Chains and was also using the Lightning Release chakra mode, exploded.
The Diamond Seals and Black Iron Chains wrapped around the outside also collapsed in the air because their structure was destroyed.
The Wind Release Slash didn't disappoint Kenshi's expectations. It directly cut through all the Black Iron Chains and Diamond Seals, splitting Kenshi's shadow clone, who was using the Lightning Release chakra mode, in two.
"Hahaha… good, that's it!"
Kenshi couldn't help but laugh through his shadow clone. The power of the Wind Release Slash was truly terrifying. The slash that could cut through even molecules was indeed powerful.
The key was that the Wind Release Slash chakra strength was already comparable to Dust Release chakra.
This was the key of keys.
If the Wind Release Slash chakra strength was only comparable to kekkei genkai chakra, then it might not be enough to fuse into a kekkei tōta.
But a single Wind Release Slash chakra, comparable to a kekkei tōta, was already qualified to fuse with other single-attribute chakra of the same level to form a kekkei tōta.
"Good, Wind Release is complete, Yin Release is also enough. It's just the other five attribute chakra that are missing."
Kenshi believed that Lightning Release and Water Release should be completed soon. The remaining Yang Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release might take a little longer.
But it didn't matter. The Spirit Assimilation Technique was already complete, and the torture method for the Third Hokage was also complete. Next, he would just continue to develop the Perfect Transformation Technique and wait for Obito's Kamui Sharingan to be born.
After all, with him around, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki would never have a chance to revive.
"Let's go find a guy named Shennong."
Back on the ground, Kenshi called out to Xiao Yezi. The two of them left the Land of Waves and went to find Shennong, a ninja from the Land of Sky in the movie.
Kenshi couldn't remember the plot of that movie.
But he remembered the Zero-Tails in it.
He was very interested in the principle of absorbing the darkness in people's hearts to create dark chakra.
The Perfect Transformation Technique was still stuck on the step of being unable to reverse chakra into spiritual energy and physical energy.
The Zero-Tails was a chakra creature created by humans. It should have a method of how to decompose chakra into spiritual energy.
…
The Land of Wind.
In the barren desert, the source of water was often groundwater.
The exit of groundwater would often form an oasis.
At this moment, in a small oasis.
A red-haired boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was controlling a giant scorpion puppet. He stared vigilantly at the man shrouded in black iron sand across the oasis lake.
"Huff, huff… why?"
The Third Kazekage gasped for breath, glancing at the two guards who had fallen beside him. He looked at Sasori, who was standing on the scorpion puppet, his face full of bewilderment.
He didn't understand why Sasori, who was born into one of the three great clans, would assassinate him?
Sasori, as a famous genius puppeteer in the village, was already favored by the Sand Village's strongest puppeteer unit.
It could be said that, in terms of fame, only Kazeyuki, the little devil who used Wind Release, could surpass Sasori in the Sand Village.
But Kazeyuki, who was born a civilian, would never become Kazekage. There would be people who would deal with that little devil without him having to do it himself.
At that time, the position of the next Kazekage, the Fourth Kazekage, would be Sasori's.
Only Sasori, who was also born into one of the Sand Village's three great clans, was qualified.
He had arranged for Sasori to join his guard unit, which was a way of cultivating the next Kazekage.
The three great clans all knew this implication. He believed that Sasori understood as well.
But why?
Why would Sasori assassinate him at this critical moment, when he was secretly going to the Daimyō's mansion to prepare for war?
If he killed him, Sasori would only be able to defect. There was no other possibility. The people of the Sand Village weren't fools, and his clan wasn't stupid either. As long as they used the Memory Investigation Technique, Sasori wouldn't be able to hide.
The Third Kazekage couldn't figure out why Sasori would do this.
"For the sake of eternal art!"
Sasori said calmly, as if assassinating the Kazekage was just an experiment for his new puppet. But the flash of hatred in his eyes as he looked at the Third Kazekage revealed that there was another hidden reason for killing him.
Sasori had always believed that the Third Kazekage, who was ambitious but didn't have the strength of the First Hokage, was the culprit behind his parents' deaths.
If the war hadn't been so intense, his parents wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't have been deprived of his parents' company.
From the day he became the Third Kazekage's guard, the plan to assassinate the Third Kazekage had taken root in Sasori's heart.
It was just that the Third Kazekage was, after all, the strongest Kazekage in history. It was difficult to succeed in a normal assassination. He usually didn't leave the village. Sasori could only wait.
Now, he had finally waited for his chance.
With the Land of Water's Daimyō's mansion being destroyed, the Daimyō's mansion in the Land of Wind increased its financial support for the Sand Village.
The Sand Village's strength increased dramatically as a result.
Unlike other hidden villages, where it took talent and time to enhance the strength of their ninjas,
The Sand Village's puppeteers had a simple method of enhancing their strength. If they had enough money to buy more and better materials, metals, and various raw materials for making poison, they could enhance the puppeteers' strength in a short period of time.
Therefore, after the Sand Village's puppeteers greatly increased their strength, the Third Kazekage couldn't sit still anymore.
Now was the time when the Sand Village was the strongest compared to other hidden villages.
If they continued to delay, the strength that the puppeteers had gained in a short period of time would be erased and narrowed by other hidden villages.
So, launching a war now was the most suitable.
Therefore, the Third Kazekage secretly went to the Daimyō's mansion in the Land of Wind with three guards to discuss the matter of launching a war with the Daimyō.
Sasori's chance had finally come.
While resting in this oasis, he poisoned the water that everyone, including himself, drank. It was just that he had an antidote, and the others didn't.
As the only genius puppeteer in the Sand Village who hadn't experienced war but was known as the "Red Sand Scorpion," Sasori's poison was naturally extraordinary.
Even though the other two guards carried various antidotes, they couldn't undo Sasori's poison. They quickly died from the poison.
Only the Third Kazekage, relying on his powerful control over his body and his strong chakra, temporarily suppressed the poison in his body and could still move.
But Sasori wasn't in a hurry.
The Third Kazekage could suppress it for a while, but not for long.
In this desert oasis, far from the village, the Third Kazekage was traveling secretly. There were no Sand ninjas around.
In the end, the Third Kazekage wouldn't be able to suppress the poison in his body and would be killed by him, Sasori.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!"
The Third Kazekage obviously knew that if he continued to wait, he would be the one who died. So, even though using chakra would prevent him from fully suppressing the poison in his body, he still made a move.
As long as he could kill Sasori quickly and get the antidote from him, he could survive.
"Sasori, you've forgotten that the puppeteer's nemesis is my Magnet Release: Iron Sand Control."
Even though he was caught off guard by Sasori's assassination, the Third Kazekage's eyes were still confident.
Back then, he had been able to suppress Chiyo, who was also from one of the three great clans and was also a famous ninja, and take the position of the Third Kazekage.
He had relied on the absolute restraint of Magnet Release Iron Sand Control over puppeteers, leaving those puppeteers speechless.
"Of course I know how powerful the Third Kazekage is."
Sasori's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. Then, he jumped off the scorpion puppet and continued to take out three more puppets, resisting the Third Kazekage's iron sand, creating distance and maneuvering with the Third Kazekage.
The Third Kazekage had gotten one thing wrong.
The ability to control iron sand was indeed very effective against puppets.
But when a puppeteer focused on creating distance, preserving himself, only using puppets to control them remotely and maneuvering with him, and had a lot of puppets, he couldn't do anything to the puppeteer.
Especially now that he was poisoned.
As time passed, the Third Kazekage, who couldn't take down Sasori, lost his confidence. It was replaced by the madness of a desperate man.
