Chapter 120: Chapter 120: A Clone's Power
Thud!
"How does he know our abilities?!"
"This guy is too strange!"
Hidan and Kakuzu were covered in wounds, especially Kakuzu, who had already lost two hearts.
They had paid such a huge price just to deal with a shadow clone.
If it were the real body, would they even have a chance to fight back?
Ryujiro's clone gazed towards the location of the real body and slowly said, "It seems everything is over."
Over?
Kakuzu and Hidan couldn't help but frown.
What was he talking about?
In fact, both Kakuzu and Hidan were so frustrated with this fight.
Their mission was to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, yet they ended up entangled with Ryujiro's shadow clone.
The key point was that with their combined strength, dealing with a shadow clone should have been easy, yet they weren't even a match for Ryujiro's shadow clone.
"Enough playing around. It's time to deal with you two," Ryujiro's clone said lightly.
"What?"
"Playing around?"
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu and Hidan were instantly furious.
"Hey! There should be a limit to underestimating and looking down on others!"
Unable to endure any longer, Kakuzu and Hidan teamed up to fight Ryujiro's clone.
However, this time, Ryujiro's clone no longer held back.
Kakuzu and Hidan were simply no match for the clone.
A single branch imbued with Armament Haki was enough to deal with the two.
The branch emitted terrifying sword energy as if it were a real sword, making Kakuzu and Hidan's scalps tingle.
Just having an extra branch in hand created such a huge gap in strength!
This guy was a true monster!
In the end, under the full strength of Ryujiro's clone, the devastating sword energy instantly engulfed the two.
Even though Hidan could survive being cut in half, he couldn't keep his body intact under this sword energy. Hidan couldn't possibly survive this.
The main thing was that this was just a shadow clone of Ryujiro.
Hidan's abilities only worked on the real body, which greatly limited his strength.
Other than Kisame and Itachi, almost everyone in the Akatsuki organization had died at Ryujiro's hands.
Undoubtedly, Ryujiro demonstrated a strength that was overwhelmingly superior.
Akatsuki's mission this time was a complete failure.
The biggest contributors were undoubtedly Ryujiro and Hinata, and many people didn't understand why Hinata had such powerful abilities.
During the meeting, Ryujiro also explained Hinata's abilities.
When Tsunade and the other Jonin heard about the origin of Hinata's Tenseigan, almost everyone in the hall was shocked.
Especially Kakashi, who knew how terrifying the Rinnegan's abilities were after fighting Pain.
The Tenseigan was comparable to the Rinnegan.
It was truly terrifying.
The Hyuga clan seemed unstoppable in becoming the top clan in Konoha Village.
If the Third Hokage were still alive, he would have been wary of such a powerful Hyuga clan, possibly even taking restrictive measures against them like he did with the Uchiha clan.
In this war, Ryujiro and Hinata were undoubtedly heroes of the village.
Although some people had previously harbored dissatisfaction and opinions about Ryujiro, those feelings disappeared after he saved the village.
In their hearts, Ryujiro and Hinata were heroes who saved their lives.
Now, Tsunade understood that Ryujiro's words were not just empty talk.
He really had the potential to lead Konoha to unprecedented heights.
Although Konoha didn't suffer many casualties, rebuilding the village was still a troublesome task.
However, Ryujiro thought of a quick way to rebuild the village.
"You want to borrow Yamato?"
"Yes."
Yamato had now left the Anbu and was a Special Jonin.
Tsunade called Yamato over.
"Ryujiro, were you looking for me?" Yamato said.
"Come with me."
....
Wood Release: Serial Pillar Houses!
On an open space in Konoha, buildings rose from the ground.
Although Yamato possessed Wood Release, his Wood Release was far inferior to the First Hokage's.
However, Yamato was skilled in building houses. In a short time, many new houses appeared in Konoha.
Although Yamato's chakra wasn't enough to support such huge consumption, Ryujiro supplied him with chakra like a perpetual motion machine.
In this village reconstruction plan, Yamato earned a new title.
The Mad Builder of Konoha.
People even thought of him as the strongest construction worker!
In no time, the flattened buildings of Konoha stood tall once again before everyone's eyes.
After Akatsuki's invasion of Konoha, the entire shinobi world seemed to be stirring again.
Especially the Land of Lightning, which summoned the other four major nations to discuss important matters.
This so-called important matter was something any smart person could guess.
The Land of Lightning still wanted to take action against Konoha.
After two invasions, all the major nations believed that Konoha was in a weakened state, presenting an unprecedented opportunity.
The Sunagakure's Jinchuriki had also returned.
Not only that, but his strength was now on par with a Kage-level shinobi, and he was still very young.
Not long after Gaara's return, Chiyo retired and handed over the position of Kazekage to Gaara.
In their eyes, Gaara had grown enough to take on the role of Kazekage.
At this time, Kisame and Itachi who went to the Land of Lightning couldn't successfully capture the Eight-Tails.
It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but the Fourth Raikage seemed to know their plan.
He had been lurking near the Eight-Tails for a long time.
Now, due to frequent use of his Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi's body was on the brink of collapse.
Although it didn't show on the surface, his condition was already beyond cure.
"Even the leader failed."
Kisame, supporting Itachi, said with a complex expression.
Their leader failed, and they also failed to capture the Eight-Tails.
The future of the Akatsuki was bleak and uncertain.
Itachi remained silent. He was also considering whether to return to Akatsuki or not.
He had always been a spy for Konoha within Akatsuki, though no one knew his identity.
Itachi had always prioritized the village.
He had inherited Shisui's will.
Moreover, Itachi had another matter to complete.
Sasuke.
"Kisame."
Huh?
Kisame turned his head to look at Itachi and was stunned the next second.
The Sharingan stared at Kisame, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Sorry."
Itachi said to Kisame, then his figure disappeared into the dense forest.
He could not return to Akatsuki.
Due to Nagato's failure, Obito and Zetsu had to accelerate their plans.
Nagato had become a useless pawn.
Hence, he died at Obito's hands, unlike in the original story where he had scarified himself.
As for Konan, she barely escaped from Akatsuki.
She knew she wouldn't be able to kill Obito and mostly likely would die at his hands.
So, she ran away. She wanted to keep her hatred and avenge Nagato.
In Konan's eyes, everything they were going through was because of Obito.
Ever since Nagato came into contact with Obito, he had changed completely.
And those Rinnegan eyes. Had also been taken by Obito.
If Ryujiro knew about this, he would probably be stunned for a while.
The plot had now completely diverged.
