Jiraiya's words made Naito's mouth twitch slightly, and then he was too lazy to pay attention to him, but continued to think about Orochimaru.
It is normal for ninjas to improve their strength rapidly in the early stage, but after reaching the shadow level, it becomes very difficult to go further. Many ninjas only reach the peak of their lives in their thirties and forties, and then they can no longer make progress.
Orochimaru can still continue to improve, but the speed is expected to become very slow. Naito estimates that Orochimaru's strength has not reached the peak of the shadow level after three battles.
After all, according to the performance in the original work, when Orochimaru defected, Sarutobi Hiruzen still seemed to have the ability to kill Orochimaru.
Of course, this also reflects from the side that Sarutobi Hiruzen is very strong.
In the original work, I almost didn’t think much of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but since some ANBU said that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the strongest Hokage in history, even if this method is very watery, it still shows how strong Hiruzen Sarutobi is.
As for how strong it is... he can use the changes in chakra properties of the five attributes freely, and his mastery of various forbidden arts and secrets is definitely no less than Danzo. Naito estimates that even if Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reach the super shadow level during his peak period, he would still be able to master it.
The degree of half-step phasography.
Existences above the Kage level are extremely rare in the ninja world.
Naito simply divided the existences above into two levels, the Super Shadow Level and the Six Paths Level.
Nagato, who possesses the Samsara Eye and can exert some of its power, is at the Super Shadow level.
The representatives of the peak super shadow level are Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Both of them have terrifying strength that can easily sweep a country by one person and overwhelm the entire ninja world.
Further up, those who possess the power of the Six Paths, condense the Seeking Jade and activate the Six Paths mode, are the existences belonging to the Six Paths level.
Whether it is the Sixth Path level or the Super Shadow level, they have almost crushing strength when facing existences of ordinary Shadow level or even below the Shadow level. Yu Ye's current strength is still completely insufficient when encountering a strong person of that level.
Yes, so Yu Ye still needs to become stronger.
After teaming up with the three ninjas and defeating the **** boss Sansho Hanzo, Naito was ready to practice all the way until he could open the fourth gate of the True Eight Gates Dungeon, and he would no longer pay attention to the coming second ninja war in a short period of time.
local war.
"Okay, let's go."
After Tsunade looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya, she nodded with a serious face, and then the four of them led an elite force and left the Konoha camp.
Since we are just holding back Sansho Hanzo, we naturally don't need to lead too many ninjas, we can just bring some elites.
As the four people left, Konoha's camp became completely empty.
Just after the four people left, Konoha's camp suddenly squirmed strangely, and a white figure emerged from the muddy ground.
It’s Bai Jue!
"I'm leaving now. I think I'm going to fight Sansho Hanzo...Forget it, I'd better report it to Madara-sama first."
Bai Jue looked at the direction in which Yu Ye and the four people were leaving and muttered to himself, then he got into the ground again and disappeared.
…
An unknown underground place in the ninja world.
In the dark depths, there was a slightly dim flame burning, and an old man who seemed to be dying at any time was sitting there.
This old man looks so weak that he can fall down with just a poke.
However, there is an aura of disdain in him, as if he is above everything and arrogant to all things!
Those eyes were unruffled, just looking at the ground in front of them in a daze, but the depth inside them was as unexplorable as an abyss.
He...is Madara Uchiha!
Alongside Senju Hashirama, he truly stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world!
"That ghost Onoki, the Two Scales, hasn't grown much at all. It seems that Iwagakure Village is not participating in the war at all."
Silently, White Zetsu appeared in front of Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara's eyes became slightly brighter and he spoke calmly.
"Yes, Madara-sama, Iwagakure Village has shrunk and even given up some of the territory it occupied."
Bai Zeze spread his hands towards Uchiha Madara, and then continued: "By the way, Madara-sama, the Naito you are paying attention to is about to fight against the demigod of the Hidden Rain Village, Sanshouyu Hanzo."
"Demigod? Humph!"
When Uchiha Madara heard this word, there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes.
Sansho fish Hanzo, what is that, and you dare to call yourself a god?!
Even if he is just a demigod, it will not work if he has a divine character!
"Such a fool can also take the title of god... The current ninja world has indeed been in a mess since Hashirama's death, but this is also conducive to my actions."
After shaking his head, Uchiha Madara said in a deep voice, "Just continue to observe secretly. If the ghost named Naito died in the hands of such a guy, it would not be worth paying attention to."
"Yes, Madara-sama."
Bai Zetsu nodded at Uchiha Madara, then disappeared into the ground again.
Uchiha Madara's eyes once again became silent and dim, as if they were an abyss that could not be peered into.
…
In the Land of Rain, in a slightly muddy hilly area, Naito and Tsunade and their group are moving forward rapidly.
At this time, the weak division of strength can be clearly seen.
Naito, who was the fastest and perhaps the strongest, ran at the front, and closely behind, almost side by side with Naito, was Orochimaru.
As for Tsunade, she is one point faster than Jiraiya. In the original work, Jiraiya may not be at the bottom of the list in terms of strength, but now that Tsunade has mastered the teleportation technique of Taijutsu, she is one point stronger than Jiraiya.
Along the way, Naito deliberately increased his speed and found that Orochimaru could still keep up, so he became more and more certain that Orochimaru should have made a breakthrough and transformation on the battlefield, and had almost reached the Kage level.
As I walked, a forest appeared in front of me.
Naito slowed down, and Orochimaru and others also slowed down, and soon the group came to the front of the woods.
"The art of ninja, the art of Soulin."
Orochimaru took a few steps forward, formed a seal with his hands, and pressed it on the ground. In an instant, dozens of snakes swished into the woods and disappeared, while Orochimaru closed his eyes.
After about a few minutes, Orochimaru opened his snake eyes and said: "There is no ambush."
"Okay, keep going."
Yu Ye bowed his head and immediately led everyone into the woods. After quickly passing through the woods, he continued to move deeper into the Kingdom of Rain.
Along the way, even Yu Ye himself was very vigilant and would carefully explore the path when encountering the woods, because no one knew whether Sanshouyu Hanzo would ambush somewhere.
Other Kages may not engage in such behavior as ambushes, but Sanshouyu Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure Village who acts extremely cautiously and rarely takes action without victory, would think it is normal for him to commit such an ambush. (Unfinished)
