Chapter 64: A bond across time and space – The Sun Rasengan (Ch 64)

Just when Minato thought the battle was over, countless puppet fragments scattered around emitted a faint purple light, gathered and merged in mid-air.
A purple lightning bolt from the sky struck above.
The puppet’s body continued to expand, and it waved its arms to sweep away the surrounding landslides and crash into the tall buildings outside.
Rumbling sound.
“As expected of a ninja from Konoha.”
“In that case, let me show you the ultimate puppet I created using the dragon veins, my perfect body!”
This huge monster is actually much taller than Kasumi’s third-stage Susanoo.
The lightning strike just now was clearly seen by Harumitsu’s Sharingan. The source of the lightning was the tallest chakra tower in the center of Loulan.
If this tower is destroyed, nearly half of the surrounding buildings will probably be affected, and by then, countless civilians in Loulan will be killed or injured.
“Xia, don’t waste chakra. That tower can transmit the dragon vein’s chakra to him in particle form.”
“Shisui, take Her Majesty the Queen to close the dragon vein, and the two of you go evacuate the civilians. Leave this to Minato and I.”
[Xia] spat secretly upon seeing this, raised her hand to wipe away the blood from her eyes, and immediately closed the kaleidoscope.
“Let’s go, young me.”
Aburame Zhiwei has already gone to the underground factory to rescue the refugees. The two of them only need to bring the surrounding residents to the abandoned city area on the edge of Loulan.
How could An Lushan just watch them take the queen away?
He raised the giant blade axe in the puppet’s hand and smashed it towards Tina.
“Wood Release: Wood Wall.”
The wooden stake turned into an arc-shaped barrier, which not only resisted the axe attack, but also grew several thick green vines, which wrapped around the puppet’s arms.
“Minato, now is the time.”
Minato poured chakra into the kunai in his hand, threw it, and formed seals with both hands.
Even if this puppet possesses infinite chakra and can heal itself at high speed, any digital existence is bound to have its weaknesses.
“Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu.”
From kunai one becomes two, two becomes four, and it turns into a rain of pear blossoms. Even Minato has not forgotten Haruki’s advice.
High five.
“Wind Style: Sky-Splitting Palm!”
A gust of strong wind blew, making the shuriken’s power even more powerful.
The puppet’s eyes, torso, arms, and entire body were being gouged with holes and materials were falling off.
It was at this time that, after losing the outer layer of protection made of dragon vein chakra material, Qingguang could see a spider-like puppet monster on the lower left side of his chest.
“Minato, the puppet’s weak point is in the heart.”
When Minato looked at it, he immediately realized that An Lushan had created this puppet using the human body as a template, and his consciousness was residing in the spider puppet.
“learn!”
He threw the Flying Thunder God Kunai and gathered chakra in his right hand.
A flash of yellow flashed by.
“Rasengan!”
Just as the Rasengan was about to hit An Lushan’s body, another lightning struck the puppet, blasting the Rasengan in Minato’s hand apart.
“Damn it, even though we know the weakness, the puppet still recovers too quickly.”
Infinite chakra is really abnormal.
“It doesn’t matter, we just need to delay time.” Qingguang said calmly.
The puppet broke free from Qingguang’s wooden vine and said, “You two clowns, do you really think you can stop me?”
“Since you like to use Wood Release so much, let me burn them all with fire!”
It opened its huge mouth and a gun barrel protruded from it.
“Dragon Vein Great Dragon Fire!”
Purple flames emitting terrifyingly high temperatures gushed out, burning all of Haruki’s Wood Release.
The two men fought with the puppet for a long time until the purple light of the tower disappeared.
Qingguang knew that the dragon vein had been closed.
The Wood Release entangled the puppet again, and Minato used the Shuriken Shadow Clone to shatter the thick shell on its surface. He was about to use the Rasengan to defeat An Lushan’s real body.
The Rasengan in his hand had not yet taken shape and his body movements became slow, allowing An Lushan to seize the opportunity and knock him away with a swing of his arm.
It hit the wall, and with a loud bang, the wall collapsed.
“Damn, is my chakra exhausted…” Minato dragged his tired body out of the ruins.
An Lushan has completely understood the abilities of these two men. The Wood Release boy poses no threat to him and can only restrain him. Only the one called Minato poses the greatest threat to him.
Just kill him first.
“Go to hell, you annoying flea!”
“Super Dragon Vein Dragon Fire!”
The chakra at the puppet’s waist gathered at the entrance of the cave, and even the surrounding air was distorted by the terrifying chakra fluctuations.
Am I going to stop here?
Minato squeezed his eyes shut.
But not only did he not wait for the fierce purple fire, but he felt himself being wrapped in a warm chakra. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the light.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Haruhiru’s entire body glowing with orange light, and a chakra cape like flames flying behind him.
“Senior Harumitsu!?”
The Nine-Tails Chakra mode was activated, Haruki moved one hand forward, and a fox-head-shaped chakra phantom opened its mouth to stop the flames.
“You attack my junior in front of me, your senior. Isn’t that too much of a disrespect for me?”
Haruki turned around and held out his hand: “Minato, give me your hand.”
With an effort, Minato stood up.
The next moment, Minato felt that the pain in his body just now disappeared instantly, the chakra that had been dried up in his body was replenished, and a layer of tailed beast coat appeared on his body surface.
“This is…?”
“It’s the Kyuubi’s chakra.”
“Go ahead and return everything you just did. I will clear the battlefield for you.”
At this moment, the little Nine-Tailed Fox, who was enjoying a massage from several people in Takama-ga-hara, suddenly widened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
“You little bastard, you actually gave my chakra to someone else!”
“What do you mean yours? I clearly exchanged this with you using chakra. It’s mine, okay?”
Haruki retorted, leaving Kyuubi speechless.
It seems to be the case.
“snort!”
“You guys, stop pressing and practice more!”
“Ah!?” Shu Lian, Huo Guang and several Uchiha howled at the same time.
After exchanging a few words with the Nine-Tailed Fox, nine fox tails appeared behind Qingguang and locked up An Lushan’s puppet again.
“You bastard, you possess such a powerful force, but you have been hiding until now!” An Lushan said unwillingly.
How could there be such a sinister person?
Minato said nothing, his hands gathered in front of him, his brain working at high speed at this moment.
The Rasengan in his hand continued to grow larger, emitting light like the sun.
Got it!
This is the bond between me and Harumitsu-senpai.
“This technique is called.”
“A bond that transcends time and space – the Solar Rasengan!”
The puppet’s huge body was no match for the Sun Rasengan.
He was ground into dust until even An Lushan’s ugly body was reduced to ashes.
The battle is completely over.
Minato walked towards Harumitsu, “It looks like everything is over, Harumitsu-senpai.”
Before long, everyone gathered around the Dragon Vein Altar.
“Are we going back?” Minato’s eyebrows drooped.
I know clearly that the bright light before my eyes does not belong to this world, but I still feel reluctant to let it go.
The same goes for [Kasumi] and Shisui.
Qingguang nodded: “After all, Xia and I came here by accident.”
“The candidates of the village are still taking the exam in the Demon Desert. It’s time for us to go back.”
“Please, Your Majesty.”
Tina also already knew the identities of Qingguang and Xia as travelers from another world.
“After you two return to your world, please use the sealing technique to seal the power of the dragon vein.”
“This kind of thing is still too dangerous for Loulan.”
Chanting the spell, his palms floated above the dragon vein altar.
A faint glow emanated from Haruhiko and Kasumi’s bodies.
As they were about to part, [Xia] called out to Xia, “Hey, young me, work harder and remember to give birth to Shisui as soon as possible.”
Without waiting for Xia’s response, she and Qingguang disappeared, turning into tiny specks of light and merging into the dragon vein.
After a moment of silence, Minato looked at everyone and said, “I will use a spell to restrict you all. You can keep your memories, but you must never let anyone else know about the existence of the dragon vein.”
…
Qingguang woke up youyou and saw Xia lying unconscious on his chest, so he woke her up.
“Xia, wake up, go back to sleep, it’s easy to catch a cold here.”
Of course, he did not forget Tina’s instructions and used sealing techniques to seal the dragon vein.
As for whether there will be a rebellious ninja named Baizu here in the future, we will talk about it later.
After returning to the Sand Castle, not much time had passed and the two still had one day of rest tomorrow.
…
Two days later, just one day after the second exam began, the first team that had collected all the scrolls of heaven and earth arrived here.
The Iwagakure team is composed of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki – Han, the son of Ōnoki – Yellow Earth, and the explosive ninja Kari.
“You did a good job, you three.” Ling put her hands on her hips, stood on tiptoe, and patted the three men on the head.
Han didn’t even have to bend down slightly to allow Ling to have her way.
After all, this height of more than two meters is really too exaggerated.
The exam lasted for five days. On the third day, Team Mikoto and Team Might Dai arrived here safely.
For the next two days, Mikoto stayed by Harumitsu’s side. To her surprise, Sister Kasumi’s attitude towards her seemed a lot gentler than before.
It was like he had become a completely different person, leaving her a little confused.
As for the Nara Shikaku team, Konoha’s third seed team, although they collected the scrolls of heaven and earth early on, they had been staying more than ten miles away from the Sand Castle.
It seems like he is planning something secretly.
Until the fifth day.
All the leading jonin accompanied Fei and Bo to the outside of the castle.
“Hey, are you two sure that there is nothing in the Demon Desert that is beyond their capabilities?” Fukai asked Fei and Bo.
The Joint Chunin Exam, even if it’s difficult, shouldn’t be this difficult.
So many teams entered the desert, and there was less than half a day left before the exam was over.
There were only 8 teams that successfully arrived here, and they were all seed teams from various villages.
Fei shook his head: “Before the exam, half a month ago, the village had thoroughly checked the Demon Desert. There was only one ruin with several giant beasts that required a jonin to deal with, and they also used sealing techniques to limit their range of activities.”
How could the Sand Village not take the Ninja World Examination seriously?
After all, there are many candidates from their own village.
Until there were only a few minutes left before the assessment deadline.
Qingguang seemed to see a large number of ninjas rushing towards here from a few miles away.
“What is going on?” Even Hertz, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, not quite understanding what he was seeing.
“Is there something wrong with their brains? Why do they like to advance at the right time?” Yagura said in a cold tone with his baby face.
Until, when there was about one minute left in the countdown, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi came to Harumi, gasping for breath, with their tongues even sticking out.
“Huh…how long until the deadline?” Shikaku asked with his hands on his knees.
“56 seconds.” Xia said after glancing at the stopwatch.
Shikaku, Ding Zuo, and Haiyi took out Bingliang Pills at the same time without hesitation. Ding Zuo even took out the spinach pills, a secret pill passed down by the Akimichi clan.
Also known as Fa Lian Wan.
After taking it, the user’s chakra can immediately increase by more than 30%.
“Senior Qingguang, this is at least an A-level commission.” Shikaku said lightly.
“Ding Zuo, Hai Yi!”
“learn!”
“receive!”
A large number of candidates are rushing here.
However, it was not the examiner who greeted them.
Rather, it is the secret combination skill of the three tribes of Pig, Deer and Butterfly.
“Pig Deer Butterfly·Meat Bomb Yo-Yo!”
Haiyi placed his palm on Shikaku’s head and used secret techniques to transmit the perceived enemy’s position to Shikaku.
Shikaku used the Shadow Slap Technique to control Ding Zuo, who was using the Meat Bullet Tank at full power, and launched precise strikes on the enemy.
“Damn Ino-Shika-Chou!” This scene immediately made Fukai understand what these three Genin brats were going to do.
He was just about to make a move when Qingguang suddenly appeared behind him with his hand on his shoulder.
“The exam will end in 44 seconds. What are you going to do to my lovely subordinate?”
“Could it be that the Hidden Cloud Village can no longer have fun?”
Qingguang’s words were like sharp arrows piercing his heart, because everything that happened right now was still the content of the second exam.
However, no one expected that such a group of weirdos would appear in Konoha.
Facing twenty or thirty Genin, Shikaku and his two companions naturally couldn’t defeat them, but it was more than enough for them to disgust them for a while.
When the stopwatch reached zero, Fei announced the end of the second exam.
Haruki immediately used Wood Release to pull the three people in front of him and asked the ninjas from the medical team to treat them.
“Shikaku, you did a great job. I will ask the Hokage to make an exception for you and make it an S-rank commission.”
As for not being able to advance to the second round, he could not become a Chunin.
That’s not a problem.
With such intelligence and decisiveness, it would be strange if Konoha didn’t allow the three of them to become Chunin.
“Actually, I didn’t plan to do this at first, but they teamed up everywhere to target our Konoha team. It was really too much.”
Nara Shikatake told Harumi everything he knew in the Demon Desert.
During this period, they encountered many Konoha teams, and even the Hyuga clan’s team was not spared.
Without exception, they were all besieged by at least two teams. If they did not voluntarily hand over the scrolls, they would be bullied by the outnumbered.
There were even a few Genin who could not swallow this humiliation and fought desperately, but were eventually seriously injured or even killed.
“I understand.” Qingguang frowned and glanced at the group of candidates from other villages who almost advanced.
The exam was over one day later, and everyone set out for the Hidden Rain Village.
The only ones who successfully advanced were the ninjas that Harumitsu had noticed at the beginning. Unfortunately, Shikaku, Choza, and Kaiichi gave up the chance to advance because of their final actions.
…
In the Hidden Rain Village, inside a closed training ground.
All the candidates and the leading ninjas from each village are here. The examiner for the third exam is Kamida, who escaped from the Haruki Wood Release.
But there is no such thing as enemies meeting each other and being particularly jealous of each other.
After all, Kamida is not a fool. He is definitely no match for Harumitsu, so why would he deliberately target the Konoha candidates?
It was not his turn to deal with the Konoha candidates. Hanzo had already reminded him in advance that he only needed to ensure fairness and justice.
“Everyone, next is the last test, a one-on-one actual combat duel. If anyone wants to quit, do it now.”
“The final winners will compete in the arena of the Hidden Rain Village in a month. Many daimyo and nobles will be watching.”
Everything is proceeding according to normal procedures.
As for Qingguang, he quietly created a shadow clone and sneaked towards the newly built Rain Shadow Building in the Hidden Rain Village.
Inside the Rain Shadow Building, Hanzo was wearing a black hat with the word “Rain” written on the brim.
Although it did not become the sixth major country and only became a neutral country, the five daimyo eventually recognized his identity as the Rain Shadow.
“Come in, there’s no one else here.” Hanzo said to the window.
The sunny light came in through the window, and I took off my raincoat and hung it on the wall, just like going home.
He used Wood Release to get a chair and sat down.
Qingguang joked, “I didn’t expect that the office of the dignified Yuying would be so easy to sneak into. There aren’t even any guards.”
The two of them were like old friends meeting each other.
But people’s hearts are hidden, and only they themselves know what they are thinking.
“Huh, do you think that our Hidden Rain Village has as many outstanding ninjas as your five great nations?”
“I am now worried about where to find teachers for the ninja school. Where can I find people to be my guards?”
“Besides, do I need a guard?”
Hanzo raised his hand and tapped the ventilation tube of the mask on his face, saying somewhat self-deprecatingly.
“That’s true.”
“But from what you said, you don’t plan to establish an Anbu?”
Ever since Tobirama Senju became the Second Hokage, the series of reforms he implemented have been imitated by the five major countries in the ninja world.
They followed suit and established ninja schools, as well as their own “Anbu” villages.
However, each village had made minor adjustments based on their own circumstances, and it was somewhat surprising that Hanzo had given up the ANBU directly for the sake of the Ninja School.
It wasn’t just because he hadn’t yet felt the frailty of age and had not yet turned into the Hanzo who only wanted to survive, but also because his faith had been rekindled by some of his previous words.
But it was all the same to him.
“The Hidden Rain Village is not one of the five great nations. If a neutral country is too powerful, wouldn’t it make you wary?”
He originally wanted to make the Rain Country the sixth largest country, but was eventually moved by the persuasion of the Daimyo of the Rain Country.
After all, Qingguang is not one of us, so we can trust him partially but not completely.
If the Hidden Rain Village takes too big a step, it will easily go astray. It would be fine if it were a neutral country. This is what the Daimyo hopes for.
Although he felt a little aggrieved, after all, the money was paid by Daimyoji, so he had no choice but to agree.
But for now, it seems pretty good.
That’s why he didn’t take advantage of the situation and use this incident to say that Qingguang didn’t do what he promised him.
“By the way, the Tsuchikage and Raikage will also be here to watch the finals in a month. I’ve already received their letters.”
“What are your plans, Konoha? Is Sarutobi Hiruzen coming?” Hanzo asked tentatively.
“I’ll have someone tell the Hokage-sama. It all depends on his opinion.”
Logically, only the top leaders of Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Hanzo should know about this matter, but the Third Kazekage Arashi also knew about it.
Qingguang took out the first generation pendant from under his collar and took a look at it.
It seems like something is really going to happen…
“Isn’t this Tsunade’s necklace?”
“You’re doing pretty well, kid. You’ve made a name for yourself.” Hanzo said with a smile.
“Don’t worry about it.” Qingguang took the necklace back.
However, it caused ripples in Hanzo’s heart.
In this way, Haruki really didn’t lie to himself, he could really decide the future Hokage of Konoha.
This gave him a new idea.
Now that he and Qingguang have established a basis for cooperation and have achieved victory in the first stage, the trust between them has deepened.
So could he take this opportunity to consolidate it?
“Qingguang, I have something to ask of you.”
“explain.”
The fish took the bait again.
This salamander is much easier to catch than the fish in the pond.
“I want to send a group of students to study at the ninja schools of the five major ninja villages. The expenses during this period will be reimbursed by us, Yuyin.”
With the current conditions in Yugakure, ninjutsu are scarce, teaching resources are scarce, and it is impossible to cultivate any outstanding ninjas.
Most of the Yuyin clan’s strength was gained through hard training and actual combat, and they had never received any systematic ninja training.
Without a good foundation, there is no way to reach a high ceiling.
It’s impossible that I’ll meet a talented Yuyin seedling in the future and transplant something for them, right?
Even if some students would become traitors, he had to find a way to establish the Rain Village Ninja School system.
Even if ten are reduced to one, the value of the only ninja that comes back is still better than ten grassroots geniuses. He can spread the word among ten, and ten to a hundred, in the Hidden Rain Ninja School, and continue the tradition.
“Aren’t you afraid that a bunch of traitors will show up?”
“Have you thought it through?” Qingguang asked.
“I know it well, that’s why I have to ask you for help. Only your character can be trusted a little bit.”
“I will send the three best children to Konoha. I just hope you can ensure that they study step by step.”
“If you can really live for more than ten years, they will also have a certain strength.”
“By then, the cooperation between Konoha and Amegakure will not be limited to you and me.”
This is really surprising and unexpected…
Harumi originally thought that Hanzo would let him secretly arrange for a few ninjas with teaching experience.
Unexpectedly, Hanzo directly gave gold coins to Haruki, the three best students of Amegakure.
To be honest, three names immediately popped into his mind.
Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko.
You are so brave, does Madara know?
“Okay, if that’s what you really plan to do, then I agree.”
“As long as you dare to send you to Konoha, our Konoha Ninja School will dare to accept you.”
“For the friendship between Konoha and Amegakure.” Haruki stood up and extended his hand to Hanzo.
“For the friendship between Amegakure and Konoha.”
The two shook hands and reached a consensus.
