Chapter 384 Target the Moon, Fire!

In Konoha, Naruto went to the hospital to visit Jiraiya.

Through the light screen, Naruto learned a lot, including his background and Jiraiya's identity.

Furthermore, according to the original trajectory of fate, Jiraiya would also be Naruto's teacher.

Furthermore, aside from his lecherousness, Naruto generally approves of Jiraiya's character. In Naruto's eyes, Jiraiya was a great ninja.

Naruto was saddened when he heard that Jiraiya had been killed by Orochimaru.

However, when Naruto summoned the toads of Mount Myōboku, he learned from them that Jiraiya was actually still alive, which made Naruto very happy.

(At Konoha Hospital, Jiraiya expressed his gratitude to Naruto.)
If it weren't for Naruto, Jiraiya wouldn't have returned to Konoha so quickly. He would have at least stayed at Mount Myōboku to recover from his injuries before coming back!
But if Jiraiya returns too late, Tsunade's anger might be even greater, or she might not be as angry as she is now.

Jiraiya felt lucky that he hadn't been killed by Tsunade.

This is also a good thing for Jiraiya, at least he's no longer the Hokage.

With Tsunade becoming Hokage, Jiraiya felt much more relaxed.

Once he had recovered from his injuries, he went out to investigate Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru showed him mercy, he couldn't just let it go unpunished.

However, Jiraiya was too optimistic. When the Hokage's secretary, Shizune, entered Jiraiya's hospital room with a thick stack of documents, Jiraiya was completely stunned.

"Mute, what does this mean?" Jiraiya sat up in surprise.

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Jiraiya still held onto a glimmer of hope.

Shizune then placed the thick stack of documents she was holding in front of Jiraiya.

"Lord Jiraiya, this was sent to me by Lady Tsunade. Please take care of it." Shizune was also a little embarrassed.

Shizune also felt that Tsunade might have gone a bit too far. She almost killed Jiraiya, and before Jiraiya's injuries had even healed, she actually asked him to help process some of the Hokage's documents.

Yes, it's a portion of the documents, but it's the majority.

Jiraiya was completely stunned after hearing what Shizune said.

The hope was dashed, just as Jiraiya had thought.

At this moment, Jiraiya was on the verge of tears.

Shizune tried to comfort Jiraiya, but it clearly had little effect.

Not long after, Shizune left.

After all, as the Hokage's secretary, Shizune still has a lot of work to do.

Jiraiya didn't notice Shizune leaving at all; his gaze was fixed on the documents Shizune had put down.

Having served as Hokage, Jiraiya would know that this is most of the documents!

Even if these documents are processed properly, there will be a large number of documents tomorrow.

Therefore, even if Tsunade becomes Hokage, Jiraiya will not have an easy time.

The advantage is that the title of Hokage is now in Tsunade's hands. In addition, Tsunade can at least handle some documents, so she doesn't have to dump all the documents on Jiraiya. In this respect, it's still better than when Jiraiya was Hokage.

……

Somewhere in the ninja world, Orochimaru has further developed the power of the Rinnegan.

Although it was just one Rinnegan transplanted into the body, even a single Rinnegan contained immense power.

As Orochimaru developed the power of the Rinnegan, he was amazed by its strength. It truly deserved to be the top of the three great dojutsu in the ninja world, far surpassing the Sharingan and Byakugan.

Even the Mangekyou Sharingan is no match for the Rinnegan.

However, if the Byakugan evolves into the Tenseigan, it should be comparable to the Rinnegan.

It was precisely because of the deepening development of the Rinnegan that Orochimaru was able to summon the Gedo Mazo.

After awakening the Rinnegan, summoning the Gedo Mazo seems unremarkable. However, the fact that he only had one Rinnegan, and it wasn't Orochimaru who awakened it—he merely stole Madara's Rinnegan and transplanted it into himself—makes it quite astonishing that he could summon the Gedo Mazo using the power of the Rinnegan.

With his hands forming hand seals, Orochimaru used the power of the Rinnegan to unleash the Outer Path Summoning Technique.

Suddenly, a colossal creature appeared before him through his spiritual senses; it was none other than the Heretic Demon Statue.

The Gedo Mazo is the shell of the Ten-Tails.

Furthermore, the Gedo Mazo also absorbed some of the Tailed Beasts' chakra.

However, the Gedo Mazo needs to absorb a large amount of tailed beast chakra to revive the Ten-Tails.

Orochimaru was also very interested in reviving the Ten-Tails.

Now that Orochimaru possesses a Rinnegan, if he were to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, he could very well reach the Six Paths level.

There are differences even among those at the Six Paths level, but even the weakest Six Paths level is still an extraordinary existence.

The ninjutsu that Orochimaru currently possesses are almost all ineffective against Six Paths level cultivators.

After summoning the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru took out a scroll.

The scroll contained a significant amount of tailed beast chakra.

Orochimaru also studied the Tailed Beast Chakra, so he was still able to produce some Tailed Beast Chakra. Although this was still far from reviving the Ten-Tails, injecting it into the Gedo Mazo would bring him one step closer to reviving the Ten-Tails.

Then, Orochimaru unfurled the scroll that sealed the tailed beast's chakra and laid it on the ground. Next, he bit his right thumb, smearing blood on the scroll.

He quickly formed several more hand seals.

"boom!"

As he completed several hand seals, Orochimaru placed his hands on the scroll, and instantly, the sealed tailed beast chakra was released.

A large amount of mixed chakra emerged, not only from the Nine-Tails, but also from other tailed beasts.

After releasing his chakra, Orochimaru then channeled the tailed beast chakra into the Gedo Mazo.

Orochimaru also developed the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon, but he was unable to use it on his own.

It's okay if you can't use the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon; you can just inject the tailed beast's chakra into the Gedo Mazo.

Although it will take time for the Tailed Beast chakra to be digested after being injected into the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru doesn't have a better solution right now.

If one could unleash the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon, the efficiency would certainly be even higher.

Before long, Orochimaru had poured all the Tailed Beast chakra he had collected into the Gedo Mazo.

Upon closer inspection, the demonic statue of the heretic has undergone some changes.

……

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

A lump of black substance emerged from the ground; it was Black Absolute.

Black Zetsu has already taken control of several high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Because the Hidden Cloud Village has developed a terrifying technological weapon, a chakra cannon, that could potentially destroy the moon.

Therefore, Black Zetsu planned to use the chakra cannon developed by the Hidden Cloud Village to destroy the moon.

If we destroy the moon directly, Black Zetsu's mother will be able to escape!

However, the Ten-Tails has not yet been revived.

"If the Ten-Tails didn't revive, then even if Mother did, her power wouldn't be too great," Black Zetsu thought to himself.
This is a problem.

However, Kaguya is, after all, a member of the Otsutsuki clan. Even if she were weak, she would still surpass most of the ninjas in the ninja world!

Besides, even if the moon is destroyed, Kaguya Otsutsuki might not be able to escape.

Black Zetsu was just trying it out.

Many of the original plans are no longer feasible.

In fact, over the past thousand years, Black Zetsu has considered destroying the moon directly. However, destroying the moon is no easy task.

It's important to know that after the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki joined forces to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hamura went to the moon.

With Hamura on the moon, it would be very difficult for him to destroy it.

After Hamura died, there was a branch of Hamura's descendants on the moon.

Therefore, for thousands of years, Black has never been without the idea of ​​destroying the moon, but simply hasn't had the right opportunity.

Now, it seems like a good opportunity, so Black Zetsu wants to give it a try.

All five great ninja villages have developed technology, but in terms of technological level, the Hidden Cloud Village is undoubtedly far ahead, and the Chakra Cannon is the most advanced technological weapon developed by the Hidden Cloud Village.

Whether Black Zetsu can truly destroy the moon remains to be seen.

I haven't tried it, but I heard it's possible.

Several high-ranking members of the Cloud Village, who were controlled by Black Zetsu, secretly transported a chakra cannon out of the village.

Outside the Hidden Cloud Village, Black Zetsu was also closely observing the chakra cannon.

Black Zetsu was also quite curious about the internal structure of this chakra cannon.

Using this chakra cannon requires inputting chakra.

To unleash the full power of this chakra cannon, a significant amount of chakra is required.

If the Cloud Ninja controlled by Black Zetsu were to input their chakra, it would take them most of a day.

Black Zetsu doesn't have that kind of patience.

Therefore, Black Zetsu supplied chakra to the chakra cannon.

Black Zetsu came prepared; he had gathered a large amount of chakra.

As the Black Absolute Chakra Cannon was fed with chakra, it quickly reached its full charge.

The Chakra Cannon has reached 100% power; this is its current limit.

Of course, if the Hidden Cloud Village makes further breakthroughs in technology, it will be able to upgrade the chakra cannon, at which point its 100% power output will be much stronger than it is now.

"Target: Moon. Fire." Black Zetsu looked up at the moon.

Several Cloud Ninja, controlled by Black Zetsu, operated chakra cannons, specifically targeting the moon.

This is very far from the moon. Even Black Zetsu doubted whether the chakra cannon could reach the moon, let alone destroy it.

But we should at least give it a try.

Once the moon was aimed at, the chakra cannon fired.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, chakra projectiles formed beams of light and shot into the sky, heading towards the moon.

Then, a beam of chakra pierced through the moon.

It all sounds like a long story, but it actually happened in a very short time.

Even Black Zetsu's eyes widened in surprise.

You have to understand, Black Zetsu is very knowledgeable. Over the past thousand years, he has seen many high-tech products, such as steel fortresses and steel warships.

Black Zetsu had also seen the combination of chakra and technology.

However, this was the first time Black Zetsu had ever seen such a technologically advanced weapon as the Cloud Village's chakra cannon.

However, the single shot failed to destroy the moon.

However, the chakra beam also pierced through the moon, causing considerable damage.

Since one shot wasn't enough to destroy the moon, let's fire a few more!

With that thought in mind, Black Zetsu channeled chakra into the chakra cannon once more.

……

Throughout the ninja world, countless people witnessed a beam of light piercing through the moon.

In Konoha, Tsunade, who was drinking sake in an izakaya, was also looking at the moon in the sky in surprise.

"This this……"

Tsunade almost suspected that she was hallucinating.

That was just now...

A beam of light pierced through the moon.

That must be a chakra beam! But who in the ninja world can unleash such a chakra beam? At least Tsunade can't.

So, the question arises: who created that chakra beam that pierced through the moon?
Suddenly, Tsunade shuddered.

She remembered what the light screen had said.

The moon's appearance was created by the Sage of Six Paths through a sealing technique called Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.

The Sage of Six Paths used Chibaku Tensei to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

So, if the moon is destroyed, will Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is sealed away, be able to escape?
Thinking of this, Tsunade's expression turned serious.

For the ninja world, Kaguya Otsutsuki's escape is not a good thing!

In the original course of fate, it was ultimately Sasuke and Naruto who sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki once again, which explains the situation.

Now, Naruto and Sasuke are both growing very fast, especially Sasuke who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. But with their current strength, even if they team up, they probably still wouldn't be able to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki!

But then Tsunade thought of the Ten-Tails.

The Ten-Tails probably hasn't been resurrected yet!
But once Kaguya Otsutsuki is freed, will the resurrection of the Ten-Tails be far behind?
……

After infusing the collected tailed beast chakra into the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru embarked on a journey to find a Jinchuriki.

In order to revive the Ten-Tails, we still need to collect the Tailed Beasts.

However, Orochimaru was stunned when he saw a beam of chakra pierce through the moon.

Regardless of his ninjutsu skills or technological level, Orochimaru was not capable of creating a chakra beam that could pierce the moon.

At that moment, another beam of chakra appeared, piercing through the moon once more. This time, Orochimaru could see it clearly, and judging from the angle at which the chakra beam was emitted, it seemed to be coming from the Land of Lightning.

"Is it Kumogakure?" Orochimaru looked in the direction of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning with surprise and uncertainty.

As far as Orochimaru knew, the Hidden Cloud Village had a very high level of technology.

Of the five great ninja villages, Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) places the greatest emphasis on technological development.

The development of technology inevitably affects ninjas. For this reason, Konoha is very conservative in its technological development, as are Sunagakure and Kirigakure. On the contrary, some small countries without ninja villages attach great importance to the development of technology.

Kumogakure can be said to be the ninja village in the ninja world that values ​​technological development the most!
Orochimaru was still quite shocked to learn that the Hidden Cloud Village had developed a chakra weapon capable of destroying the moon.

Furthermore, even if the Hidden Cloud Village develops a chakra weapon capable of destroying the moon, they shouldn't use it on the moon so casually! Destroying the moon and potentially allowing Kaguya Otsutsuki to escape wouldn't be a good thing for the Hidden Cloud Village!

Then, that would not be the original intention of Kumogakure.

This reminded Orochimaru of Black Zetsu.

Orochimaru thought it was very likely Black Zetsu.

Orochimaru is now facing a problem: should he continue to revive the Ten-Tails?

He wanted to revive the Ten-Tails because he wanted to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, not to revive the Ten-Tails for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Looking at the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru even considered whether to extract all the chakra from it. However, it was just a thought. Although he had the Rinnegan, he didn't yet have the ability to extract the chakra from the Gedo Mazo.
