Wu Jie and Xiang Rin were currently flying above the clouds, heading towards Kusagakure.
The three secret techniques they obtained from Shennong were Physical Vitality, Physical Regeneration, and Physical Metamorphosis.
The Physical Vitality Technique can manipulate cells, strengthening and augmenting them, like a full-scale enhancement of the body's physical quality with lightning-attributed chakra.
The Physical Regeneration Technique is exactly what its name implies: it can regenerate wounds in a short time.
As for Physical Metamorphosis, this ninjutsu can only be completed by combining the basics of the previous two ninjutsu with Dark Chakra.
This ninjutsu allows the user to achieve a certain degree of immortality. When injured, body cells are continuously activated during the high-speed regeneration process, and each time is stronger than the last. It is a theoretically infinitely strengthening secret technique.
According to Shennong himself, even after activating the Eight Gates and opening the Gate of Death, the Physical Metamorphosis Technique could enable the user to avoid death from the Gate of Death's side effects. As for whether he was boasting, it was unclear.
Looking at the effects of these three ninjutsu, one knew that they were all within the scope of Yin Release. Wu Jie hoped to use this to help Xiang Rin enter the threshold of Yin Release.
Of course, the most important one was the Physical Vitality Technique which could reorganize cells to eliminate hidden injuries from the body.
The remaining blueprints and manufacturing books, Wu Jie would equip them to the army of the Land of Whirlpools.
The ninja tools of Empty Village had a very important characteristic: they did not require chakra attributes. As long as colorless chakra was infused into the ninja tool, it could be used.
This also meant that when the Land of Whirlpools recruited troops, the only condition was to be able to control chakra.
As for whether they could use ninjutsu, or if they had chakra attributes, these were not important at all. This could greatly expand the scope of military resources, allowing them to quickly catch up with the military strength of other villages.
Moreover, judging by the battle records of Empty Village, their techniques possessed a nearly one-sided suppression against ordinary ninjas, but their limitations were too great; they simply couldn't contend with those truly superhuman individuals who freely roamed the battlefield.
However, these superhumans were always a minority. Wu Jie and Xiang Rin naturally wanted to find a way to deal with those people. What they truly needed was this large-scale equipped army of ninja tools to clear out the ordinary ninjas who were as numerous as stars.
It's a pity, Wu Jie and Xiang Rin didn't have much talent in scientific research. Their hobby was medical ninjutsu. In terms of scientific research and manufacturing, they didn't have talent in this area. It seemed they had to think of other ways to find such talents.
Wu Jie was pondering where to find such talents, when Xiang Rin suddenly said to him, "Brother Wu Jie! Someone's ahead!"
Someone?
They were both flying above the clouds at this moment. In this ninja world, who could fly to such a place to intercept them?
Wu Jie naturally assumed the other party was coming for the two of them. Otherwise, the sky was so vast, how could they just happen to run into each other?
Wu Jie lifted his head and looked forward. A black dot stopped two kilometers away. Wu Jie and Xiang Rin were currently flying at supersonic speed, and in just a few seconds, they arrived in front of the other party.
At this moment, he also saw the other party's appearance clearly. It was a mature woman with blue hair, wearing a single paper flower on her head, dressed in a black cloud long robe, with a huge white paper wing gently flapping behind her.
Information about the other party instantly appeared in Wu Jie's mind.
Konan, the actual manager of the Akatsuki organization, and 'God's Messenger,' revered by the people of Amegakure as 'Angel.'
She possessed manipulation techniques—it was unknown if they were secret arts or bloodline limits—that allowed her to fight using paper. Her unique Origami Technique could transform paper into anything, and even the Sharingan's visual prowess couldn't detect anything unusual.
Wu Jie and Xiang Rin stopped about a hundred meters away from Konan. They floated in the air with the help of Wind Escape and the Peacock King technique.
Wu Jie was gauging the other party's intentions. After all, he had the Great Blade Muscle snatched from Hōzuki Genzō, and he had also kidnapped an Akatsuki member with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. He couldn't judge what the other party's attitude would be.
And Konan, at this moment, raised the level of importance for the Uzumaki brothers.
Because flying at supersonic speed was truly too fast, even she and Tendo Pain could not achieve this speed!
Konan's face was calm. She knew that ninjas were all arrogant, and the stronger the ninja, the more so. Most of the current members of Akatsuki were recruited by her, and they had always agreed to join directly when she began sending out invitations.
Only by defeating the opponent would they, after joining the organization, honestly act as puppets, not always thinking of doing all sorts of chaotic things. Otherwise, it would be like that fellow Orochimaru, not thinking about the Edo Tensei at all, but instead thinking about the Uchiha's Sharingan.
Therefore, it was better to give them a good beating first.
Konan made up her mind, and the aura around her changed. Wu Jie and Xiang Rin also felt this. The bright sun hung high overhead. The sky was clear and blue, as if wanting to draw people in. White clouds drifted beneath their feet. Everything was so peaceful and silent.
Konan raised her right hand and showed them the ring with the character '南' (South) carved on her hand. At the same time, she said, "Akatsuki, Konan, codename, White."
Wu Jie also chuckled and said, "Uzumaki, just Uzumaki."
Konan nodded, then said, "Then I'm coming."
As her words fell, her right hand pointed towards the two. Then, hundreds and thousands of paper sheets detached from her back, forming themselves into the shape of shuriken in the air, spinning as they flew rapidly towards the two!
"Paper Shuriken."
The incoming were not kind!
Thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands, of paper shuriken seemed to transform into a wall, rushing towards the two!
Wu Jie immediately flapped his dual wings and retreated several meters. Xiang Rin simultaneously clasped her hands together. The efficiency of the Kongque Myōō technique's operation instantly increased greatly!
Her dual wings behind her instantly expanded to tens of meters, then folded behind the two, forming a purple shield that enveloped them!
Clang clang clang clang clang!
Like a tidal wave, the paper shuriken struck the purple shield, emitting a crisp metallic clatter. Most of the paper shuriken were repelled, but a small number pierced the shield a bit, getting stuck in it!
And right at this moment, the paper shuriken stuck in the shield suddenly showed the character 'Explode' and then began to emit flames!
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!
The explosion that started from inside the shield directly blew it apart. A huge hole instantly appeared on the purple shield, and countless paper shuriken spewed out from it, lunging at the two!
Xiang Rin immediately detached her huge wings, then formed a pair of smaller wings again. The Eye of Indra on Wu Jie's forehead also activated at this moment.
Wu Jie created a wind tunnel, allowing the two of them to quickly descend into the clouds, dodging the paper shuriken's assault!
And as the two hid in the clouds, looking for an opportunity, the surrounding white clouds instantly began to transform like paper seals, transforming into explosive tags, and then...
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
A fierce explosion instantly engulfed them!
Konan actually used the Kami no Shishū (Paper Person of God's Retribution) to simulate white clouds, setting a trap here in advance!
"Shield of the Crane!"
With a whoosh, a sand ball covered in red stripes shot out from the explosion. Its target was Konan, who was not far away!
Then the sand ball shattered, and Wu Jie and Xiang Rin flew out of it, flying towards Konan at an even faster speed!
However, the previous paper shuriken had not lost control. Under Konan's manipulation, they formed a circle in the air, like a river, directly blocking the path in front of the two!
At the same time, the end of this river turned back, shooting towards them!
Wu Jie and Xiang Rin moved agilely in the air, propelled by Wind Escape and their wings, dodging Konan's attacks.
Xiang Rin also used her Kagura's Mind Eye at this moment to detect the surrounding situation. A moment later, she nodded to Wu Jie. "There are no other chakra reactions nearby."
Only Konan alone?
Wu Jie couldn't be sure of this point. After reaching a certain level of strength, most ninjas had the ability to hide their own chakra reactions.
But for now, let's just assume she's alone.
Thinking of this, Wu Jie said to Xiang Rin, "The enemy's attitude is unclear. Let's try to deal with her first." As his words fell, Wu Jie's wings behind him flapped, and he instantly turned to face the surging paper stream!
The Yin-Yang Staff also appeared at this moment. He then swung the Paper Shuriken, which was like a surging ocean, in front of him. This was the Crane Seal's Wind Release combined with the Nine-Tails' chakra, plus the Yin-Yang Power of the Eye of Indra.
In an instant, dozens of Drilling Air Bullets, two meters in size, appeared along the trajectory of his staff!
A howling gale erupted!
These dozens of Drilling Air Bullets directly scattered forward like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
The moment the Drilling Air Bullets and paper shuriken collided, an invisible wind blade, compressed within the Drilling Air Bullets, instantly shot out!
The interior of every Drilling Air Bullet contained countless invisible wind blades. When these dozens of Drilling Air Bullets exploded at the same time, they instantly created an impenetrable wall in front, and all the paper shuriken were cut into pieces by the dense wind blades!
At the same time, Xiang Rin's back once again sprouted two large wings. Four purple wings violently flapped. Xiang Rin also used the Crane Seal's Wind Release within the sealed space to bring her speed to the extreme. Then, a purple stream of light instantly carried the agitated Xiang Rin to Konan's side, and at the same time, she brought the muscle-blade in her hand down on Konan!
