Chapter 86 Is the Will of Fire real?
Manda was immobilized again, but having collected all the flesh and blood and Sage Chakra, Fukuyo had no interest in torturing him any further.
He leaped up, bent down, and stared at Manda's lantern-sized vertical pupils with his scarlet Sharingan.
"Manda, from now on, you'd better listen to Nawaki and Orochimaru-sensei, okay?"
The voice carried an unquestionable command and indifference, causing Wan She to shudder.
Upon hearing Fukuyo's voice, Nawaki immediately jumped for joy.
Watching her boisterous younger brother gesturing wildly, Tsunade smiled along, feeling even more grateful to Fukuyo.
Not only was Kushina saved by Fushiko, but she was also freed from confusion thanks to Fushiko's words of comfort.
The brat is incredibly lucky to have met Fu Heiyao.
Not only did they treat his broken leg, but they also helped him tame the spirit beast.
If Fukuyo were to become Hokage in the future, Tsunade believes that even Nawaki would hesitate before voting for him.
"It seems that brat Fukuro is indeed as Minato said, cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Jiraiya nudged Orochimaru with his elbow.
Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, but a touch of emotion welled up inside him.
Although it's a bit shameful to ask a disciple to help him prove himself, from another perspective, isn't it his good fortune to have such a disciple?
Those who feel ashamed are just sour grapes.
Moreover, the purpose of the master-disciple succession is to enable the disciple to surpass the master, and Orochimaru simply accelerated this process a bit.
"I admit you're stronger than me." Manda also had his pride. After a brief moment of fear, although his attitude towards Fushiko improved, his attitude towards Orochimaru and Nawaki remained the same.
"You have my approval, and I will not ask you to offer sacrifices."
"But that only applies to you. What right does that brat have to make demands of me?"
Ryuchi Cave operates on a law of the jungle, and Fukuyo was stronger than Manda, so he had to admit defeat.
But what are Rope Tree and Orochimaru compared to them?
"There's no room for negotiation. They're not strong like you, and I won't give in!" Wan She said to Fu Heiyao in a roundabout way, trying to bluff her way out.
"You still don't understand, Wan She." Fu Heiyao shook his head. "I'm not giving you a choice."
At first, Manda didn't understand what this meant, until the moment the black lightning flashed, he understood.
A burst of pitch-black current, operating at full power, erupted across the surface of the snakes, its electric light drilling through their scales and spreading throughout their flesh, accompanied by a continuous series of crackling sounds.
Black lightning has almost no killing power; it can only be used to intimidate with its binding effect or to ambush people in conjunction with black flash.
But when it comes to tormenting people, if Fu Heiya wanted to, that would be hell.
"No... Lord Uchiha... I was wrong!"
How can one describe this torment?
It feels as if ten thousand insects are crawling into every part of your body, wantonly gnawing at your flesh and blood.
The pain that penetrates the soul echoes repeatedly between consciousness and body.
The excruciating pain and itching made Wanshe want to tear off its own scales and flesh, but Wanshe's entire body was immobilized by Fuheiyao, leaving it only able to passively endure the pain.
With the White Snake Sage above, what an evil Uchiha!
Although he had heard that all Uchiha were brutal and evil, Manda didn't care. He thought the Uchiha just hadn't met him yet.
But today, he saw it and deeply realized that the Uchiha were not to be trifled with.
"My surname isn't Uchiha." Fu Heiya silently increased the battery level.
Wan She gasped upon hearing this, even wondering if Fu Heiyao was deliberately messing with him.
With those gleaming Sharingan eyes, who would believe you if you said you weren't an Uchiha?
But at this moment, Manda had no choice but to believe it, because the electric current had reshaped his language system.
"I'll confess everything... no, I don't want any more sacrifices, please spare me!"
"It's resolved." Seeing that Wanshe had given in, Fu Heiyao nodded in satisfaction and leaped down from Wanshe's head.
With the Sharingan genjutsu dispelled, Manda didn't dare linger for a moment and immediately returned to Ryuchi Cave.
"If Wanshe relapses in the future, just tell me, and I'll cover the after-sales service." Fu Heiyao didn't take this seriously.
If Manda thinks he can be safe hiding in Ryuchi Cave, Fukuko will make him understand the power of the Sharingan again.
Rope Tree nodded vigorously, feeling that Fukuko was simply his savior.
"What incredible power!" Jiraiya exclaimed as he walked up.
"I initially thought you were joking about joining us to fight Hanzo, but it turns out you were serious."
"Now that you possess Susanoo, we don't need to worry about your safety."
Orochimaru remarked sincerely.
The main reason he previously felt that Fu Heiyao was a bit arrogant was precisely because of this.
Ten-year-old Fu Heiyao actually tried to fight Hanzo with them?
If it were anyone else, even Orochimaru would have whipped them into a spinning top with a snakeskin belt, but if it were Fushiko Kuroyo, the master and disciple of the same school... he could only choose gentle discipline.
The results are obvious.
Orochimaru even felt that Fukuyo had completely surpassed him.
After all, even the strongest summon, Manda, whom he needed to appease, was rendered powerless by Fukuko.
Tsunade didn't say anything, she just stood there with her hands on her hips and grinned foolishly.
The rest is much simpler.
Rope Tree summoned the giant serpents that often slew in battle.
At first, the giant snakes were very hostile, but after being baptized by the double baptism of Fukuko Sharingan and black lightning, they all became obsequious as if their personalities had been reset.
If I had to describe it, it would be like taming a wolf into a dog.
Two more months have passed.
With Nawaki's help, the Orochi, who had completely lost their temper, were reborn on the Amegakure front.
He and Minato, who had a contract with Mount Myōboku, were invincible on the battlefield, and even Jonin would suffer a defeat when they encountered them.
The two are known as the shining twin stars of Konoha.
As for Fu Heiyao, his title as the strongest of the new generation has never changed.
Because whenever Fu Heiyao charged ahead, the speed at which he slaughtered people when he captured Rain Village strongholds and battle lines was terrifying.
No one in the camp treated him like a child; even many Jonin looked at him with awe.
As for why it was awe, it was because Fu Heiyao's gaze seemed to have a real killing power.
Aside from acquaintances, strangers feel dizzy just from a glance from him.
Over time, Fu Heiyao's image in the eyes of others evolved into one of awe.
However, the ninjas in the camp did not bully or ostracize him because of this; on the contrary, Fukuko was very popular.
The rumor that Fukuyo was just bad at expressing himself, which came from an unknown source, and his reliable image of always arriving in time on the battlefield due to his mobility and protecting the Chunin and Genin behind him, made his popularity soar, even surpassing that of Jiraiya.
There are even quite a few female ninjas who like the cool and aloof persona, which annoys Fukuyo.
He even mentioned this point in a letter to Kushina.
Kushina, who was practicing in the underground sealing chamber of Akebono's house in Konoha, was furious when she received the letter from the shadow.
"I'm not angry at all!"
Kushina, clenching her fist so tightly it made an explosive sound, barely suppressed the urge to rush onto the battlefield.
"Still too weak. It's time to bring up the matter of Jinchūriki with Grandma."
Kushina kept a straight face, deciding to give Fushiko a surprise when he returned.
With the salamander antidote now in mass production, a large quantity of the antidote has been sent to the Rain Shadow battlefield.
Amegakure, which was already at a disadvantage fighting on three fronts, has begun to shrink its battle lines.
Almost all the Jonin from the Amegakure front were gathered in the command camp, and Fukuko, as a newly promoted Jonin, was naturally among them.
No one questions his worth, because everyone has witnessed every single one of his battles.
His unparalleled speed and mobility in killing have led some to compare him to Hanzo.
They believe that Fushiko will become a demigod belonging to Konoha in the future.
Orochimaru, who had been promoted to commander-in-chief, nodded as he surveyed the assembled Jonin and then pointed to a point that had been specially marked on the map.
"Dragon's Hidden Town." Orochimaru's deep voice carried a hint of certainty.
"This is the strategic center of Amegakure. Once we break through here, we can dismantle Amegakure's logistics and transportation capabilities in one fell swoop."
This would threaten the entire Land of Rain. It can be said that as long as we capture this strategic point, we will be invincible.
After that, whether it's coercing Hanzo to help us fight against Sunagakure or achieving a complete victory in this war, it's all within reach.
"Since Dragon's Hidden Cave is the lifeblood of Rain Village, Rain Village will definitely guard it closely," Nara Shikajin said.
"The recent advance on the front lines has been too rapid. The importance of Dragon's Den is self-evident, and I don't think Hanzo would overlook that."
.
"According to the latest intelligence, Hanzo hasn't appeared on the Sunagakure front for some time now." Jiraiya said solemnly, agreeing with Shikajin's thoughts.
"There is a very high chance that Hanzo will appear in the defense of Ryuin."
The thought that a demigod might personally guard Dragon's Den caused many Jonin to exchange bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.
Although everyone is provided with multiple antidotes for salamander, the toxins in Hanzo salamander are truly different.
In addition to being more potent, it also has a strong paralyzing effect; if you are caught in the poisonous fog of the salamander, you will definitely lose your ability to move within seconds.
In the chaos of the battlefield, this means death.
"Let's proceed cautiously. Hanzo's strength as a demigod is still too great," said the Hyuga clan.
As someone who seeks stability, Hyuga instinctively doesn't want to take risks.
"This war is no longer limited to Amegakure." Orochimaru shook his head.
"According to secret information, Iwagakure has secretly joined forces with Amegakure and is providing them with assistance."
"Kumakure and Kirigakure are also eager to make their move. If Konoha doesn't want to be dragged into the quagmire of war, it needs a strong push."
Fukuyo discovered many discrepancies between Orochimaru's intelligence and the original work.
Because they received the antidote six months or even longer in advance, the speed of the Rain Shadow Front's collapse was beyond imagination.
Konoha suffered relatively few losses, which undoubtedly greatly displeased the surrounding wolves.
Therefore, they all prepared to enter the fray, attempting to drag Konoha into the mire.
Although Orochimaru's words made sense, there were still many dissenting voices.
It's still because of Hanzo.
Konoha's frustration with Amegakure is almost entirely due to Hanzo.
His power is overwhelming.
With his Water Instant Body technique combined with the Salamander, he moved like a dragon on the battlefield, and almost no one could stop him unless the Hokage appeared.
Even Orochimaru and his two companions could only barely restrain them, but that was because Hanzo was wary of Konoha's desperate measures.
As one of the vital water-based resources of Amegakure, if Konoha dares to launch a fierce attack on this place, Hanzo will definitely fight to the death.
At that time, Orochimaru and his two companions will likely be unable to protect themselves, and the reckless Hanzo will undoubtedly slaughter their own forces in a frenzy.
Therefore, the previous battle between Konoha and Amegakure was a technical one; they couldn't avoid fighting, but they also couldn't fight too fiercely.
"There's no need to worry about that. We'll keep Hanzo occupied," Tsunade said confidently.
"Excuse my bluntness, gentlemen," Lu Ren voiced his concern, or rather, the concern of most of them, "with your strength, even with the addition of summoned beasts, you cannot restrain Hanzo."
Shikaren naturally understood that Orochimaru's words made sense. If the situation dragged on to the later stages, Amegakure and Sunagakure, who were sworn enemies, might even cooperate.
Moreover, there's the ever-watchful Iwagakure.
But Hanzo is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed in any plan.
If they can't defeat him, even if Konoha wins by sheer luck, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. They won't be able to hold onto Dragon's Hidden Village and will only hand over the spoils of victory to the enemy.
"Then add me."
Fu Heiyao paused in his tapping of the table, then looked at the others. "The four of us will hold Hanzo back."
"?"
As Fukuyo spoke, the Jonin did not mock him as expected, but instead frowned.
"Konoha's situation hasn't deteriorated to the point where children are dragging demigods into it," the Uchiha clansman scoffed. "If this is an order, I will go."
"I can go too!"
"We can't be inferior even to children."
Many Jonin exchanged glances and gritted their teeth.
"Is this the Will of Fire?" This scene left Nara Shikajin somewhat bewildered.
He thought of the Third Hokage's recent addition to the teaching materials, mentioning the ever-burning Will of Fire.
Knowing full well that it would cost them their lives, they still went without hesitation to protect the new buds.
For the first time, he felt a slight wavering regarding the Will of Fire, which his family did not approve of.
"Quiet." Orochimaru's voice was deep but penetrating, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him as soon as he spoke.
"Shikajin is absolutely right." Orochimaru first affirmed Shikajin's words, then added, "Ordinary ninjas are no match for Hanzo, let alone able to restrain him."
"However, Yao-kun is an exception."
