One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

As the reputation of Kusagakure grew, the three young Kusagakure ninjas also came into the view of the major villages in the ninja world.

Onoki looked at the three documents laid out on his desk.

"Hmph, just some relatively strong young Jonin. The Raikage's son isn't all that great either, not even as good as my own..."

A loud "boom" came from another room in the office, and Onoki's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"Damn it, that brat Deidara, he's not even 10 years old yet, and he's always fiddling with bombs. What did he blow up this time..."

The Third Mizukage looked at the intelligence report on the table, his face grim, his tone carrying a hint of killing intent. Opposite him was Suigetsu Hozuki, who was kneeling on the ground, his face filled with fear.

"That's enough, no need to explain anymore. Since he's your subordinate, then you can deal with him yourself!"

"The genius of Kirigakure chose to defect many years ago. Whatever the reason, he must die!"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon nodded hurriedly in fear, his voice trembling.

"Understood, Third Mizukage. I will certainly do a good job of cleaning up the mess and atone for my sins..."

"Hmph, I hope you won't disappoint me again. When patience reaches a certain point, only death can make amends..."

The Third Mizukage, with his squinty eyes and delicate features, made the fierce-looking Suigetsu Fuguki tremble in fear...

The Third Raikage of Kumogakure looked grave, but did not send any more ninjas to provide support. After all, there had been many frictions on the border between the Raikage and the Earth Kingdom since he returned to the village, and he could not act rashly anymore.

Looking at the intelligence scroll personally written by Tu Tai in his hand.

"The Nest Insect Master, Yahiko, is skilled in Water Release summoning beasts, two ugly, fleshy worms that can split into smaller insects to attack. Their skin is covered with a special oily substance that gives them great resistance to Fire Release..."

"The Imprisonment Master, Wuwei, is skilled in fire-style sealing techniques. These techniques can hinder chakra-gathering ninjutsu, and anyone who gets too far away from him will spontaneously combust and die..."

"The water beast of the grass, Kisame..."

Seeing the heavy circles drawn around Kisame's name, the Third Raikage carefully examined the information and realized that this was the biggest enemy hindering A. However, he was not in a hurry. He casually put the intelligence scroll into the hidden compartment and muttered to himself.

"The new generation of prodigies of the Grass Ninja, huh? I'll make you my sons, the stepping stones to the strongest Raikage!"

Inside the Kazekage Building in Sunagakure, a fierce argument was taking place, with the Third Kazekage looking displeased and his eyes filled with anger.

"My two advisors, please return to your residences and take good care of yourselves!"

Ebizo, who was usually very composed, clenched his fists in unusual anger.

"The environment in Sunagakure has finally started to change. Recent statistics show that the number of sandstorms has decreased by one-tenth compared to usual. Why are you still making this decision? Please rescind your order..."

"Enough, Ebizo. I have made my decision. There is no time for Sunagakure to hesitate any longer. Once we obtain those eyes, Sunagakure will surpass the other four great ninja villages!"

The Third Kazekage's face contorted with greed, his mind filled with the descriptions of Nagato given by his subordinates—that incredible power…

Although Chiyo was dissatisfied, she did not show it. Instead, she calmly patted Ebizo, who still wanted to argue his point.

"Enough, Ebizo!"

"It's time for us to retire. Let's hand the village over to the Third Kazekage. It's also time for Sasori to spend some more time with us..."

Ebizo sighed softly, then nodded slowly, and left the Kazekage Building one after the other with Chiyo...

Meanwhile, in Konoha, a village renowned for its talented individuals, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dodged a Wind Release jutsu that grazed his scalp by turning his head in the training ground, and couldn't help but feel somewhat annoyed.

"Enough, Danzo, let's end this sparring session here!"

"Hmph, such a good opportunity to annex the thriving Kusagakure, Hiruzen, you actually chose to give it up. You'll regret it..."

"Alright, Danzo, there's no need to say anything more. A mere sparring match hasn't made you give up your ideas yet!"

Danzo Shimura clenched his left hand, then reluctantly let go. He suggested taking advantage of the situation to seize and control Kusagakure under the guise of providing support, but Hiruzen Sarutobi refused.

The other party noticed his dissatisfaction and suggested a friendly spar to vent his frustration.

"You'll regret this decision, Hiruzen!"

"I am the Hokage. No unauthorized actions are allowed. Keep an eye on your Root!"

"Hmph" x2, ╯^╰.

The two men simultaneously let out a soft hum, then left the ravaged training ground, leaving behind a group of ANBU (Anti-Secret Service) members to clean up the scene...

In a confined space, the sounds of intense physical combat echoed continuously.

A blue dragon-shaped phantom appeared and disappeared in mid-air. A masked youth, whose blue dragon head on his right arm emitted a bright light, kicked another person into the ground, where they fell into a deep pit.

"Damn it, I've been kicked to death thousands of times, using the same power, and I even have so many buffs stacked up, why can't I ever beat you, Old Deng..."

Li Qing, dressed as the Divine Dragon Venerable, stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching the grass mushroom below, which was slowly reshaping its body.

"Those who are all show and no substance will not allow the power of the dragon to become a tool for slaughter. I will not bring shame upon the dragon!"

He was vaporized by the Tailed Beast Ball and inexplicably appeared in this space. Then the system prompted him that as long as he defeated the Dragon Slayer Lee Sin, he could not only become a Dragon Warrior, but also be resurrected immediately!

Furthermore, Li Qing's physical attributes are exactly the same as Cao Zhi's, and Cao Zhi can also enhance himself with other hero skills. Logically, he should be able to easily defeat the opponent. However, in half a month, he experienced all kinds of deaths, including being kicked to death, slapped to death, and hammered to death...

Fortunately, he could resurrect infinitely within the space, otherwise he would have given up long ago...

Cao Zhi slowly climbed out of the pit, and the pit instantly returned to its original state. Looking at Li Qing, who stood before her like a sculpture, she sighed deeply.

"Old Deng, you can kill me if you want, but can you stop pretending like this..."

"A mere phantom clone of a system, does it have to be this arrogant?!"

However, Li Qing, who was standing with his arms crossed, ignored Cao Zhi, because the system-replicated Divine Dragon Venerable would not attack on its own initiative, but would only react when the challenger launched the first attack.

Cao Zhi slowly sat cross-legged on the ground. Although his physical condition was the same as before in the past half month, his strength had unexpectedly increased a lot. In terms of physical skills, he could easily beat his previous self. He couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

"We can't afford to be impatient for quick results anymore; we can only place all our hopes on the rest of Kusagakure..."

"Damn it, with Kisame and Kakuno still here, and that Void Queen who's eaten her fill and disappeared somewhere, the village should be able to hold out until I resurrect..."
