Konoha: The Foundation's revelation at the outset shocks the world.

Just as Deidara was thinking,

Xu Fu suddenly glanced at the bushes on his left.

He then gently raised his hand, and a tentacle covered in scales shot out from his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, the two ninjas were pulled to Xu Fu's side by the tentacles.

Then, under the horrified gazes of Deidara and Sasori,

The tentacles were covered with four lines of the same color, which instantly pierced the skin of the two ninjas.

In an instant, the skin of the two ninjas aged at a visible speed, gradually turning into two bloodless, dried-up corpses.

"Comfortable! An absolutely wonderful taste!"

After draining the two ninjas of their life force, Xu Fu licked his lips, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

Then his skin began to recover slowly, gradually returning to the skin of a young man in his twenties.

Upon seeing this scene, Deidara and his companion's eyes were filled with terror.

The two were willing to swear to the heavens that if God were to give them another chance, they would never be so foolish as to run back.

But Heaven seemed not to hear their prayers. Instead, Xu Fu turned his head and looked at the two men with a sinister gaze.

"My two lords, I now give you two choices. The first choice is to submit to the Dragon Mother, and she will grant you great power. The second choice is that I will now turn you into beings just like them."

Originally, upon hearing Xu Fu's first choice, Deidara and his companion were prepared to choose the second.

In their view, any outcome is better than becoming someone like the immortal Yu the Great.

Although scorpions are now considered monsters, compared to the immortal Yu the Great,

Scorpion believed that he still had the appearance of a human being, even though his entire body had been transformed into a puppet.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Scorpion chose the second option.

However, when Xu Fu mentioned the second option,

Scorpion knew then that he had spoken too soon.

Then, to Deidara's horrified gaze, Sasori was drained of his blood by Xu Fu and turned into a withered... puppet.

Looking at the blood-drained scorpion, Deidara's eyes were filled with deep fear, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

As Xu Fu turned his gaze toward him,

Without hesitation, Deidara uttered three words: "I choose one!"

Beauty and ugliness are worthless in the face of life!

Most importantly, he must preserve his life to create great art.

How could I possibly die!

Moreover, there is an old saying that goes, "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

He was simply doing what any normal person would do when faced with a life-threatening situation.

"But! I must have my own personality!"

Although Deidara chose the first option, he did not want to become a mindless monster like Yu the Great.

"Of course, Daenerys will grant you all your wishes."

...

At this moment in the valley, as the group of skeletons launched their attack on the ninjas who came to seize the treasure,

They also understood that if they wanted to survive, they had to unite and fight against the skeletons together.

Immediately, all the ninjas in the valley launched an attack on the skeletons.

Gaara also summoned Shukaku and launched a fierce attack on Bai Qi.

Just at this time,

Suddenly, the place where they were standing began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, an old, mechanical voice resounded throughout the entire ninja world.

"The remnants of evil have resurfaced; clever ambushes and armored weapons are needed to suppress the evil spirits."

As the sound ended, several deep pits suddenly appeared in the ground of the valley.

Following closely behind, countless terracotta warriors and some tall bronze figures resembling mechs emerged from the deep pit.

The scene was extremely majestic and awe-inspiring, shaking heaven and earth.

After these terracotta warriors appeared, they immediately attacked the skeletons.

After they joined the battle, the skeletons that had been suppressing the Sunagakure ninjas were forced to retreat in defeat.

At that moment, Xu Fu appeared on the battlefield with Deidara.

Looking at Xu Fu appearing on the battlefield,

Gaara was startled, and then countless ninjas discovered Xu Fu.

They then launched an attack on Xu Fu.

Seeing the ninjas' attacks, Xu Fu snorted coldly and with a light wave of his hand, his body was covered in black scales.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the ninja's attack vanished into thin air.

Looking at the scene on the light screen,

Tsunade and the others' eyes widened instantly.

This guy, who appeared out of nowhere, is incredibly fierce.

To dissipate so many attacks so easily, it's simply inhuman!

Then, with another wave of his hand, Xu Fu pulled the ninja who had just attacked him to his side.

In just a few moments, it turned into a dried-up corpse...

After turning these ninjas into mummies, Xu Fu wasted no time and obtained the guqin (a seven-stringed zither).

He waved again.

Shortly afterward, a massive palace rose from the ground above.

After they had completely exited the palace, Xu Fu led Deidara into it.

Inside the palace, a black coffin, exuding a terrifying aura, lay quietly in the center.

The moment Xu Fu entered the palace,

More terracotta warriors emerged from the ground, and the moment they appeared, they launched a frenzied attack on the palace, seemingly trying to smash it down.

Meanwhile, the Qin generals who were engaged in battle with Gaara and the others...

At this moment, they were also frantically running towards the palace.

Gaara and many other Sunagakure ninjas were rendered incapable of fighting due to the fierce counterattack of these generals.

Gaara was knocked unconscious and only survived thanks to Temari's desperate rescue.

"Qin Emperor! You shouldn't have woken up!"

Here, a terracotta warrior's eyes gleamed, and he spoke in a mechanical voice.

"Heh! Yu Fu, do you still want to suppress me? Look at yourself, you've been corrupted to this state, you can no longer suppress me! The way of machinery can't withstand the erosion of time in the long run."

After the terracotta warriors finished speaking, a deafening sound suddenly came from the black coffin.

Subsequently, countless wisps of black mist emanated from these black coffins, and slowly, these black mists formed the image of a giant black dragon.

"Ouch~~~~"

As the black dragon's body slowly took shape,

An extremely malevolent roar then resounded across this land.

Upon hearing the roar of the evil dragon, countless ninjas knelt down, clutching their ears and writhing in agony.

The terracotta warrior that had just made the sound was shattered in an instant.

Even if this terracotta warrior is shattered.

The voice of the fish-like creature can still be heard from the mouths of the other terracotta warriors.

"Machinery is eternal! Rest assured, I will suppress you forever! Don't even dream of the possibility of being reborn!"

Just then, a mocking voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"That's truly a pity! The path of the Serpent Father has declined, and this world will eventually return to the embrace of the Dragon Mother!"

As that mocking laughter rang out.

Xu Fu, who had been standing still from the beginning, suddenly chuckled.

Then he took out the guqin that he had hidden earlier. The moment the guqin appeared,

Yu Fu's voice then became excited.

"The Fuxi Qin! No! It's a replica!"
