I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

The reason they didn't immediately use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to leave was because the Root organization's base was also protected by a barrier that could isolate space-time ninjutsu.

Moreover, the strength of the barrier is even greater than the barrier we encountered at the Dark Division base.

Even so, this level of barrier can only defend against the "Flying Thunder God Technique," and cannot defend against the "Shrinking Earth to an Inch" technique at the minor completion stage.

Chapter 170

Naraku departed.

However, given the importance of the Root organization's base, the bodies left behind were obviously discovered not long afterward.

night.

Inside the Hokage Building's office.

"Have you found out who did it?"

Sitting behind his desk, Danzo, who had received a transplanted arm, looked at his subordinate who came to report with a gloomy expression.

"Reporting to my lord, based on the memories we have gathered, the intruder is Naraku!" the subordinate reported, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head.

Although Naraku eliminated the Root members present, he did not dispose of their bodies.

Or rather, he simply didn't care that he would be discovered.

"It's that guy again. What are the Barrier Team doing? Didn't they say they had strengthened the barrier? Why can they still come and go so brazenly?" Upon hearing Naraku's name, Danzo's face immediately darkened further.

He truly hated Naraku.

Leaving aside the severe casualties caused by the Konoha Crush plan, the fact that Naraku stole most of the village's wealth accumulated over the years was enough to break his heart.

All of this wealth is now his money.

And if it weren't for the hidden vault outside the village...

In addition, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was very wealthy and provided financial support immediately.

Otherwise, not to mention the logistical costs of foreign wars, even the construction of the village alone would put him in a difficult situation.

After berating the barrier team for their incompetence, Danzo, remembering his own predicament, quickly added, "Quickly, send more people over to strengthen the defenses."

On the Hokage Building side, along with the underground Anbu base, the newly reinforced barrier is the same as the barrier of the Root organization's base.

Now that it has been confirmed that Naraku was the one who infiltrated the Root organization's base, it undoubtedly means that the Hokage Building can also freely enter and exit if Naraku wishes.

Danzo felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two who had been assassinated.

He has finally gained power, and if he were assassinated, he would die with his eyes open in disgrace.

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the subordinate quickly left the office to dispatch more personnel to strengthen the defenses of the Hokage Building.

"Somebody come!"

After his subordinates left, it took Danzo a while to calm down. Then, after a moment of contemplation, he called out to the empty office.

brush!

The next second, a figure dressed in Root organization combat uniform appeared on the opposite side of the desk, knelt on one knee, and respectfully bowed to Danzo.

"How is Tsunade doing?" Although Danzo was wary of Naraku's assassination abilities, his primary concern right now was the power he held.

"Reporting to you, sir, according to our people at the hospital, Tsunade remains unconscious and shows no signs of waking up," a member of the Root organization immediately reported.

Upon hearing this, Danzo felt much relieved.

His biggest worry right now is that Tsunade will wake up.

After all, the one who could pose the greatest threat to his rule in the entire Hidden Leaf Village was his opponent.

"My lord, why don't we just kill Tsunade?"

Those Root members who were placed by Danzo's side were naturally his loyal henchmen.

The current members of Root organization clearly wanted to help their master solve his problems, so they couldn't help but ask a question.

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time!"

He naturally wanted to eliminate Tsunade as a threat once and for all.

Unfortunately, he can't do that right now.

The reason lies with Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru reached an agreement with him and even handed over command of the battlefield to him, one of the terms of their deal was that he could not touch Tsunade.

Danzo scoffed at this, but for the time being, he accepted the condition.

In particular, he now needs to use Orochimaru to break the power of Wood Release.

Feeling the transplanted right arm.

The sense of powerlessness he felt filled him with both disgust and intense desire and greed.

"Just you wait. Once I obtain the power of Wood Release, neither Tsunade nor Naraku will be able to threaten me!"

In the Konoha Crush plan, the battle between Naraku and Hashirama Senju not only elevated Naraku's reputation in the ninja world to a new level, but also made Danzo, Orochimaru, and the likes deeply realize the power of Wood Release.

Orochimaru's cooperation with Danzo was largely due to his use of Wood Release.

The benefits Danzo offered included resources to fully support his research into Wood Release.

Both of them wanted to steal the power of Wood Release.

Right now, Orochimaru is using Hashirama Senju's cells to cultivate a new arm for Danzo.

According to the experimental data provided by Orochimaru, this new arm will develop the power of Wood Release.

Danzo was naturally full of expectations for this.

The kingdom of stars.

The Star Tower has nine floors.

Naraku was examining the Grim Reaper mask in his hand.

"It's a pity the other masks are useless, otherwise we might have been able to find more ghosts and gods."

Naraku felt quite regretful while studying the Grim Reaper's mask.

He regretted storing the other masks in the hall.

The Uzumaki clan's mask collection hall actually contains not just the Death Mask, but a total of twenty-nine masks.

At first, Naraku was pleasantly surprised, thinking that the other masks, like the Death Mask, could summon other demons and gods.

However, upon examining the masks with his divine sense, he discovered that the other masks, whether they were merely decorations or belonged to spirits that had perished, showed no unusual characteristics.

In contrast, the Grim Reaper mask found among them is different.

This mask conceals a very special spiritual contract.

Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't find more ghosts and spirits, Naraku quickly adjusted his mindset and focused on studying the summoning contract inside the Shinigami mask.

"Besides being more complex than ordinary psychic contracts, the other party to this contract seems to be connected to another dimension."

As his research deepened, Naraku, with his extraordinary comprehension and analytical skills, gradually broke the contract of the Death Mask.

he mused.

This world contains many alternate dimensions.

For example, one of the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques, "Kamui," connects to an alternate dimension.

Furthermore, Kaguya Otsutsuki's "Amanokinaka" allows her to freely create any space she desires.

At this moment, as Naraku deciphered the summoning contract within the Grim Reaper's mask, he sensed that the other side of the contract was connected to an alternate dimension.

Like the "Dead Demon Seal," the Death Mask can summon the Death God.

However, compared to the "Dead Demon Seal", the Death Mask is clearly more closely associated with the Grim Reaper.

The psychic contract of the Grim Reaper mask undoubtedly points directly to the Grim Reaper.

"You've given yourself away, haven't you? Let's see how you hide this time!" Naraku's face revealed a playful expression.

a few days later.

In the valley where the Grim Reaper was first summoned, Naraku appeared once again.

Bang! !

Smoke billows.

Four shadow clones of true qi appeared.

The shadow clones glanced at Naraku, the original body, and then dispersed in all directions in perfect unison. They then sat cross-legged and took on the role of guards.

"Reverse Spirit Communication Technique!"

Without hesitation, Naraku bit his finger and smeared his blood on the Shinigami mask to prepare his defenses.

Following the hand seals he had developed over the past few days, he and his companion quickly formed hand seals in front of him and finally pressed them onto the Grim Reaper mask.

True energy flowed from his palm into the spirit contract inside the Grim Reaper mask.

In an instant, the psychic contract spread out complex magical patterns, causing the Death Mask to emit a powerful suction force.
