Chapter 121: Fate is hard to change? (6400 words), monthly ticket]
Clang!
Just when everyone's attention was focused on the cooperation between Toner and Kato Dan, a long knife was thrust out of the chest of the elderly ninja standing next to Kato Dan.
I saw his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
He didn't realize how the other party appeared next to him at all.
Slowly turning around, he saw a pile of sand behind him quickly rising up, slowly turning into the shape of a person, and the long knife was being held in his hand.
"when?!"
It's just that he couldn't speak anymore. Looking at Kato Dan's body standing not far away, very bad thoughts swept through his whole body, but it was a pity that other than this thought, he could no longer act.
, the power in the body was quickly lost as the long knife was separated from the body.
Everyone has noticed what's going on here.
Thinking back to the time when the sand ninjas performed the sand manipulation technique on a large scale just now, because there were so many people, they didn't notice anyone disappearing.
There is a high probability that this Jonin, who was good at Sand Hidden Technique, was lurking in the sand at that time, slowly approaching Kato Dan's location.
Complete the assassination in one fell swoop.
Everyone rushed back with all their might.
But the distance is really too close, even if Toneri or Kato Dan's soul returns at full speed, they can't catch up.
This is also the reason why the other party can rest assured that he can deal with the other person first before dealing with Kato Dan.
So close!
Tsunade, who was fighting Chiyo, had eyes wide open.
This time, she really ignored the attack of Chiyo's puppet and ran towards Kato Dan with all her strength.
I saw a sneer on the corner of the sand ninja's mouth, and the long knife in his hand stabbed Kato Dan's heart without hesitation.
Ding!!!
But what surprised him was that he didn't feel the feeling of tearing the flesh when he stabbed it, because there was a relatively shorter knife in front of him.
He is a shorter person.
Looking at the kid in front of him, he glanced at Toneri who was rushing back at full speed from the corner of his eye.
"Earth clone?"
Predicting the danger Kato Dan might encounter in advance, Toneri deliberately left an earth clone to follow Kato Dan in order to prevent Tsunade from getting lost, just to prevent accidents from happening.
blocked!
Tsunade's face was filled with joy. Even though her body was covered in scars after being attacked by Chiyo's ten Chikamatsu people, she was still happy inside.
Everyone who rushed back was also surprised.
Only Shiren frowned, and instead of slowing down, the speed of rushing back accelerated again.
This man's strength has not been very conspicuous in the previous battles, and Toneri has not paid much attention to it, because he seems to be a relatively young existence among the many jonins of Sand Ninja. It is normal for young people not to show their strength.
But at this moment, Shiren suddenly discovered that this person gave him a very familiar feeling.
He has short brown hair, wears the standard ninja armor of the Sand Ninja outside the black ninja uniform, and is lined with mesh underwear. He has black pupils. When he lowers his head and coldly eyes, he seems to see a circle around his eyes.
Light dark circles.
After the long sword was deflected by Toneri's earth clone, the shiny long sword turned into golden sand grains in an instant.
Toneri's earth clone's pupils shrank suddenly, and he remembered who this person was!
"Magnetic Escape - Quicksand Thousand Needles of Gold!!"
All I could see was that the corners of his raised mouth turned into sand together with the knife in his hand, surrounding Toneri's earth clone and Kato Dan's body.
A large number of needles formed from the sand, constantly causing damage to Kato Dan's body.
"No!!!"
Tsunade, who originally thought she could rescue her in time, shouted with red eyes.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, then got up and ran for two steps before falling back to the ground.
Toneri, who was running back, slowly stopped, and with him was the soul of Kato Dan with a bitter and helpless smile on his face.
He could clearly feel the energy in his body slowly passing away.
The soul power is slowly dissipating.
The feeling became more and more obvious, and the soul that could originally see the essence gradually became blurred.
The disappearing sand condensed and formed next to Chiyo.
He held a scroll in his hand and handed it to Chiyo: "Elder Chiyo, I got the thing back."
"Well done, Luosha!"
Chiyo took the scroll handed over by Luo Sha with a smile. The moment he took it, the entire scroll turned into powder.
Luosha!
Toneri's expression turned cold when he heard his name, it was indeed him!
Tsunade smashed the gold sand covering Kato Dan's body with one punch. When she saw Kato Dan's body covered with scars inside, her entire chest was almost completely broken, and all her internal organs were shattered and turned into minced meat.
He immediately put it down, wrapped his hands in rich green chakra, and used all his palm power.
However, Kato Dan's injuries were still too serious, and almost none of his internal organs were intact.
Even if Tsunade has tremendous medical ninjutsu, it is impossible to save her when so many organs are missing.
But she didn't give up, her eyes were red, and a lot of tears crazily overflowed from her eyes. The tears gradually blurred her eyes, and it looked as if her blood-stained hands were integrated into Kato Dan's body.
"Break!!Break!!Break!!!"
Tsunade shouted in a low voice, but everyone could hear the heartbreaking tone in her voice.
"I will fight with you!!"
Losing two companions at once, Akimichi Daofeng was so angry that he swallowed the last remaining red pepper pill in one gulp.
The originally fat body lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the huge chakra flowing throughout his body could hardly be accommodated. The excess chakra spurted out from his back, turning into light blue butterfly wings.
butterfly!
"Secret Technique-Super Doubling Technique!"
Akimichi Michofeng rushed into the group of Sand Ninjas without any scruples. With his huge size at this time, there was almost no physical strength that could stop him.
Nearly invincible in a short period of time.
Toneri stood there, looking at Kato Dan whose soul was slowly dissipating, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
For Kato Dan, who has only known each other for less than a few hours, it is hard to say how close the relationship between them is.
However, he could feel Tsunade's love for him, Kato Dan's gentle character, and his careful and protective heart towards Tsunade.
This kind of personality is very similar to Toneri's good friend Minato.
I originally thought that leaving an earth clone next to Kato Dan would be able to save him.
At least, slow down the enemy's advance a little.
But I never expected that the person who took action was actually Rasa. He learned the magnetic release ninjutsu from the Third Kazekage, and he also had a special Rasa body constitution!
The fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure Village in the future will be the father of Gaara, the next one-tailed jinchuriki!
Rasa, who was not yet twenty years old at this time, already had the strength of a jounin, and because he was extremely good at sand manipulation, he hid it very well and made Toneri's preparations go to waste.
"Is this Kato Dan's life? It can't be changed?!
If we can't even save Kato Suan's life, then"
Toneri looked at Kato Dan who was slowly disappearing, and saw that his soul's mouth was opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something.
"Huh? The backup is in the forehead protector?"
At this time, Tsunade threw herself on Kato Dan's body, forgetting everything, and worked hard to heal Kato Dan.
But now the Suna Ninja had no time to care about them, because after eating the red pepper pills, Akimichi Michifeng sacrificed all his fat, and the fighting power he exploded made him almost invincible in a short time.
Theoretically speaking, after taking the Akimichi clan's red pill, if they don't get the treatment they deserve, they will die.
"Beautiful, is there any chance to save him?"
Toneri came to the sealed space again and looked at the huge Erwei.
At this time, there is one person and one tailed beast, and their eyes are the same, one blue and one yellow.
Toneri was still a little unwilling. He had foreseen Kato Dan's death, and he also tried to change it. However, he thought of the beginning and the result, but not the process.
Luo Sha's magnetic escape explosive power exceeded his expectations.
It may sound a little cold-blooded, but he doesn't care very much whether Kato Dan will really die, but it is very important for whether he wants to participate in something in the future, try or even challenge to change something.
If Kato Dan still dies despite his anticipation and efforts, does that mean that the same will be true for Minato and Kushina in the future?
So he wants to make changes.
Erwei looked straight at him, and could feel the unwillingness in Toner's heart.
But even it can only see life and death, but cannot change life and death.
silence
After a moment, Erwei said:
"I don't have the ability to save him, but if I just want to keep his soul, maybe I can give it a try."
Hearing this, Shiren's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "How to do it?!"
Slowly opening his eyes, Kato Dan's soul next to him looked at Tsunade crying on his body, his eyes full of heartache.
However, after losing the support of the body, the soul becomes a rootless duckweed. At this time, most of his soul power has dissipated. In just one or two minutes, the soul will go to another country.
"Brother Duan, I have a way to keep your soul, and maybe I can resurrect you in the future. But if I do this, I need to get your consent and temporarily give up the reincarnation. When the time is right, the opportunity for resurrection will come."
Toneri's two eyes of different colors flashed.
At this time, Kato Dan's soul has lost its original form. The only one who can see through yin and yang and be flexible is Toneri, who inherited the two-tailed eyes.
Kato Suan looked at Toneri in surprise. He knew his state and no one should be able to see him again.
"If you agree, just wink."
Restricting the soul from going to another world and rebirth may seem to others to be blaspheming the soul and living beings.
But Toneri has long seen through this bullshit blasphemy against life. In the next few decades, the entire ninja world will not allow the souls of another world to rest in peace. Even Senju Hashirama, who is as powerful as the god of the ninja world, will from time to time.
The earth is summoned.
The second generation, a master of black-tech ninjutsu research, developed the "Dirty Land Reincarnation" by himself, and played with it himself.
In the future, Kato Dan will also be summoned by Orochima Kabuto through the Reincarnation of Evil Earth, so it seems that if he keeps his soul, it might be a good thing.
Hearing Toneri's words, Kato Dan didn't hesitate and immediately blinked.
With his consent, Shiren immediately took action.
Any later and the soul will be forced to leave.
The hands formed a seal in one second.
"Psychic art!"
Bang!
A petite silver-blue cat appeared in front of him.
It is Xiaolan who has been integrated into the chakra of the second tail and received a certain period of teaching.
At this time, it looked like a psychic ninja beast, so I just needed to apply for a forehead protector for it.
Xiaolan's eyes also have the same blue-yellow pupils as Toneri, so it can also see where Kato Dan is.
The method Erwei mentioned was to use Xiaolan's ability to understand the characteristics of yin and yang to keep the broken soul in its body.
Several black tentacles extended from Toneri's body, grabbing the almost invisible soul of Kato Dan.
Although Kato Dan can no longer speak, he still has the ability to think. He can clearly sense that the black tentacles on Toneri's body are all composed of Yin attribute chakra.
And his spiritual transformation technique is essentially a type of Yin Escape. Only Yin Escape can capture Yin Escape.
After restraining Kato Dan, Toneri's voice sounded again.
"Brother Duan, your soul is relatively weak. I can only temporarily seal your soul to prevent it from being absorbed by that world. Xiao Lan also has Yin attribute chakra in his body, which can nourish your soul.
When your soul becomes strong enough, you may be able to use the art of spiritualization more freely, or maybe I will find a way to resurrect you.
For the time being, you should sleep for a while."
Kato Dan nodded gently. His body lost vitality, which had a great impact on his soul.
As Kato Dan's soul entered Xiaolan's body, it seemed to be drunk, staggering and unsteady.
Sleepy eyes.
However, as Kato Dan's soul entered his body, the chakra fluctuations in Xiao Lan's body showed an explosive growth. The Yin attribute chakra in the spiritual transformation technique also brought an explosion to the Yin attribute chakra in Xiao Lan's body.
form of growth.
Shiren's eyes lit up.
"Does the soul still have such an effect? Or is it because this is the effect of spiritual transformation?"
If any human soul can cause such an effect, then
Can you become invincible on the battlefield?
This is the first attempt, and it will take multiple tests to get the results.
It seems that there will be a new research direction in the future, which I have never been exposed to before, the study of the soul.
Stopping to think, now is not the time to relax. He quickly came to Tsunade's side and saw that her chakra stored in the Yin seal had been exhausted, and the Baihao Jutsu was over, but Tsunade still bit her.
He used the palm senjutsu to heal Kato Dan's body.
Pulling Tsunade away from Kato Dan's body.
Tsunade, who was usually very powerful and could not be shaken no matter how hard Toneri tried, now pushed her to the ground with just a push.
"Sister Tsunade, as a medical ninja, you should know that Brother Dan's body has completely lost its vitality. No matter how strong your medical ninjutsu is, you can't save him!!
Can’t do it anymore!!”
Toneri's voice was like a bolt from the blue, extinguishing Tsunade's last glimmer of hope.
Looking at Tsunade sitting on the ground in a daze, Toneri opened his arms for the first time and hugged her, and gently said in her ear:
"Sister, I know you are in pain, I know you are sad, but as long as you remember, I will always be by your side!
I have a way to save my brother, but not now, I already have a certain direction, believe me!"
Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes barely regained some sparkle.
Immediately, a poignant smile appeared on his face, uglier than crying: "It's all my fault. It was my blessing and curse on him."
Following Tsunade's line of sight, she found that she was staring at the emerald green pendant around Kato's neck.
Toneri gritted his teeth and grabbed the necklace. Although he felt sorry for Kato Dan for doing so, Tsunade must not fall here, otherwise they would really not be able to leave today!
He took off the necklace, tied it around his neck, looked directly into her eyes, and said without giving up: "It's all a coincidence. Now, I'll prove it to you!"
The pendant belonging to Senju Hashirama, the "cursed" pendant containing a large amount of wood attribute chakra, will be inherited by him from this moment on!
Tsunade stared blankly at Toneri, who had a determined look on his face, and at the emerald green hanging around his neck.
Tears flowed silently again.
"Sister Tsunade, we need you! If you can't hold on, we won't be able to hold on anymore. Brother Daofeng, who blocked his life, has taken the red pill, and his future brother is also in danger.
Have you forgotten what you promised me at the beginning? Listen to me this time!"
Toneri needs Tsunade to regain her composure. Even if she doesn't have much fighting ability, as long as she is there, the backbone of them will be there.
She took out the special pills given by Tsunade from her ninja bag and stuffed them into her mouth.
At the same time, he grabbed Tsunade's hand, filtered the chakra from the two tails wrapped around her body, and slowly injected it into her body to accelerate her body's recovery.
The person in front of him had resisted the autumn winds of the Sunagakure people alone, but at this time he was beginning to fail.
Shiren gritted his teeth.
"Do we really want to abandon everyone here?!"
He was still confident that he could escape from the siege of the Sand Ninjas with his speed.
But in this way, even if their mission failed, mission failure is still a small matter. If they lose Kato Dan, Akimichi Michofu, and Tsunade, Konoha will suffer a great loss, and it may even change the pattern of the entire ninja world.
.
But it wasn't easy for them, and it was even worse for the Sand Ninjas.
Some time ago, with Kato Dan's spiritual transformation technique and Toneri's extreme killing skills, the two of them were able to kill each other's ninja almost every second.
Whether you are a jounin or a chuunin, the outcome is the same.
lost heavily.
Coupled with the subsequent outbreak of Akimichi Dofeng, he already had the strength of an elite Jonin. After burning his own calories in exchange for chakra, he unexpectedly exploded with strength comparable to that of a Kage.
The destructive power of the Super Multiplier Technique made the Sand Ninja miserable.
Judging from the losses alone, the losses of Sunagakure Village can be said to be several times that of Konoha.
Tsunade, who had somewhat recovered, and Akimichi Michifu, who was brought back by Toneri in time, fought with him, Ito Mirai, who was good at using long swords, a jounin who didn't like to talk much and was good at Konoha-style swordsmanship.
Both of them were scarred at this moment, especially Qiu Daofeng, who passed out directly after saying a few words to Toneri.
If they don't get timely treatment, both of them will have only one ending: death!
But when Toneri just brought the two of them to Tsunade, she seemed to have completely changed. She was very resistant to being close to them, or to the blood on their bodies.
Seeing this scene, Toneri's heart sank again. Even with his presence, Tsunade, who witnessed Kato Dan's death in front of her, still suffered from hemophobia.
Chiyo, who was unwilling to give up, and her ten Chikamatsu people who were in dilapidated condition, led the remaining Suna ninja and slowly approached here.
Suna Ninja's losses were so great today, only if Tsunade and Toneri, who were jinchuriki, were left behind, their deaths would be considered worthwhile.
Closely following Chiyo was Luo Sha, who used magnetic escape to control the sand, which was also one of the biggest variables today.
"Looks like I'm still a little late."
Just when Toneri was staring at Chiyo with all his attention, a slightly gloomy voice sounded in his ears.
Toneri was stunned when he heard this voice, and then his face showed an expression of ecstasy, and he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Orochimaru-sensei!"
An earth-like human figure slowly rose from the ground and stood beside Toneri.
The slender tongue kept licking his lips, and in the golden eyes, there was a black snake pupil, and the cold eyes stared at Chiyo unabashedly.
The corner of his eye scanned the entire scene, stopping for a moment on the lifeless Kato Dan, and finally focused on the somewhat lost Tsunade.
The cold murderous intent made it difficult for Toneri standing next to him to bear.
For the first time, Toneri felt the angry aura exuding from Orochimaru, who rarely had any mood swings.
Orochimaru was angry!
"Orochimaru!"
Chiyo immediately recognized the person who appeared. The frown on her brow and the sweat on her palms all showed that she was feeling uneasy inside at this time.
Now they are all a bunch of remnant generals, and Orochimaru is in peak condition. If a battle breaks out at this time, it will definitely be unbearable for them.
And the most important thing is that Orochimaru is clearly being watched by her younger brother Ebizo, but now he appears here. Does this prove that Ebizo
Chiyo's heart was crazy and tangled.
A voice in her heart told her that this was definitely the best opportunity to severely damage Konoha. If Tsunade could be kept here, then the Suna Ninja would not suffer too much of a loss this time.
But there was a more rational voice in her heart that told her that her brother might be seriously injured and needed her, and with Orochimaru here, they would most likely fail, not to mention that there was someone over there who seemed to be using the power of the tailed beast.
A Konoha boy who is as pure as fire.
Such a Konoha boy couldn't kill him here, which made Chiyo extremely unwilling.
But at this moment, reason defeated all impulses.
"withdraw!"
Chiyo slowly retreated with the remaining injured and disabled generals of the Sand Ninja, guarding against Orochimaru's sudden attack.
Toneri had the urge to rush forward and leave them alone, but Orochimaru beside him held his shoulders tightly.
"Orochimaru-sensei?"
When the Suna Ninja disappeared from sight, Toneri looked at him in confusion.
Orochimaru's eyes were cold. He had no less murderous intention towards the Sand Ninjas than Toneri, but he still said helplessly:
"I am a clone. It is not easy to scare them away. Another elder of Sand Hidden Village, Ebizo, is now leading many Sand ninjas not far from the No. 1 stronghold. I still summoned them through you.
Snake, he reluctantly sent the clone here."
Hearing this, Toneri was stunned, and then he understood why Orochimaru could hold back.
Even if he is a clone of Orochimaru, his secret will soon be revealed when fighting against ninjas of the same level.
Then it will become more troublesome.
"Leave quickly before they react. I will send a message to the old man and ask him to send someone to meet you halfway.
Tsunade's condition is not good, and the situation of the other two is not optimistic either. You have to take responsibility.
I'll come to the rear, you go."
Orochimaru just took a deep look at Tsunade. With his understanding and trust in his companions, he knew that Tsunade had been hit hard, but he believed that Tsunade could persevere.
Because she is the strongest medical ninja!
Toneri put the bodies of Kato Dan and another older ninja into the scroll, picked up the scrawny Akimichi Michifu and Ito Mirai, and left quickly with the lost Tsunade.
Orochimaru watched them leave with a glint in his eyes.
He murmured to himself: "Is this the power of the tailed beast? Is it a complete body? Is it still lacking? Tailed beast chakra?
