Chapter 197 The Channel Connecting the Earth and the Moon (4000)

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead...

This news swept across the entire ninja world like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The man who once fought on the battlefield finally died.

Died on Tsunade's wedding day...

Sarutobi Hiruzen served as Hokage for decades. During his tenure, he worked hard to govern the country, won the Second Ninja World War, recuperated, and used the Third Ninja World War to push Konoha to an unprecedented height.

This legendary man...

water country

Kirigakure Village Water Shadow Building

Goji Yagura frowned slightly as he looked at the information in his hand.

If it were any other time, he would even open a bottle of good wine to celebrate when Sarutobi Hiruzen died, but now Sarutobi Hiruzen died at a very inappropriate time.

As a member of the Sunset, Goju Yagura clearly understands the power of the Dawn.

Moreover, the Sand Village was attacked some time ago, which should have been extremely beneficial to their side, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's departure almost equalized the advantage.

The more important thing now is, once Sarutobi Hiruzen dies, who will take over as the leader of the Sunset?

Goju Yagura naturally knew that no matter who else took the position of leader, it would not be his turn.

However, a country cannot be without a leader for a day, and if it is not handled properly, big problems can easily arise.

Karatachi Yagura thought for a moment, then took out a pen and paper, wrote down his analysis of the current situation, and asked who would be the next Hokage.

Leader Canyang will undoubtedly be the next Hokage.

Konoha would never allow the leader of the Fallen Sun to be separated from the Hokage.

After finishing writing, Gotachibana Yagura looked through it again to make sure there were no omissions, then handed it to his secretary to be mailed out.

He has not had a moment's rest since the war ended.

He was also responsible for the reconstruction of the village's ninja forces, especially the training of new ninjas.

However, this also led to the discovery of several good seedlings.

Mangetsu Hozuki of the Hozuki clan, the civilian ninja Mei Terumi, and Zabuza Momochi, who is also a civilian ninja, are all excellent people.

Looking at the secretary's departing back, Karuju Yagura sighed softly, with a complex look in his eyes.

What an eventful time...

But precisely because of this, he must seize every opportunity to make the once behemoth Kirigakure rise again.

dong dong~
"Enter."

Karuju Yagura spoke up.

As the door was pushed open, Hei Chu Lei Ya walked in.

As soon as the tall man entered the door, he spoke impatiently:

"Mizukage-sama, according to reliable information."

"Three-Tails is resurrected!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Goji Yagura's eyes lit up instantly.

The death of the Three-Tails undoubtedly caused the Hidden Mist Village to lose an important fighting force. In addition, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki has not yet completed the perfect Jinchuriki with the Six-Tails. This has made the Hidden Mist Village, which was already competing with the Sand Village for the last place among the five major countries, even worse.

Now that Sanwei has been resurrected, this is rare good news.

"it is good!"

"Organize a force immediately to capture the three-tailed beast!"

Karatachi Yagura was about to give an order, but then he thought of the previous battle between the tailed beasts, and then continued:
"I will lead the team myself!"

He has already witnessed the true power of the tailed beasts. Once he becomes a perfect jinchūriki, it means he has the stepping stone to reach the level of Kage.

Now I am almost thirty years old and it is difficult to improve my strength.

It would be better to let the talented young people in the village become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

Karuji Yagura thought for a moment, then continued to instruct:

"Go call Mei Terumi over here."

Although Mei Terumi is only seven years old now, this child seems to have an extraordinary talent for techniques. If she can become a Jinchūriki.

Then there would be enough chakra for her to squander.

"Yes!"

—

The Frost Kingdom is located at the junction of the Thunder Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. It is the most direct channel between the two great countries.

The Land of Lightning only needs to cross the ocean to reach the territory of the Land of Fire directly through the Land of Frost.

Therefore, this small country serves as a buffer zone between the warring countries of Fire and Thunder.

Moreover, the geographical location of this place is extremely important. It is connected to the Kingdom of Fire to the south, the Kingdom of Earth to the northwest, the Kingdom of Taki to the west, the Kingdom of Thunder to the east, and it also borders the Kingdom of Fields.

It can be said to be a strategic location that is no less important than the Rain Country.

But because of this, years of war have resulted in the Frost Country's national strength being the weakest in the ninja world.

Even the poor Soup Kingdom is stronger than the Frost Kingdom.

Jiu Xing was wearing a thick cloak to resist the wind and snow, and stepped on the snow in the Frost Kingdom.

The Frost Kingdom in the north is covered with snow all year round, which is one of the reasons why the Frost Kingdom's national strength cannot develop.

"Is it this way?"

Jiu Xing looked up into the distance and saw the forest covered with snow, a vast expanse of white.

The cold wind with snowflakes blowing on the face made people shiver.

"It should be. Crescent Moon Valley should be just ahead."

A slightly petite figure walked out from behind Jiuxing. She was wearing the same thick cloak as Jiuxing, and her pair of white eyes were gleaming in the snow.

It was Hinata Nao.

While Kaoru was practicing the art of multiplying detonating tags, Kyuuki and Nao also embarked on a journey to find the Samsara Eye.

According to the secret passed down orally from generation to generation by the elders of the Hyuga family, this Crescent Moon Valley is the place where the Hyuga rebel finally disappeared.

"In that case, let's go over there without further delay."

Jiuxing wiped the snow off her face, and walked into the snowy forest step by step with Nao.

Nao followed behind Jiu Xing and said as she walked:

"According to my father, this Crescent Moon Valley leads to the sky."

Hinata Nao stepped deep and shallow in the snow and spoke.

However, before she could finish her words, she bumped into Jiu Xing in front of her.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Nao rubbed her red nose and said with some dissatisfaction.

However, Jiu Xing squatted down in front of her, pointed at her calves which were not covered with snow and said:
"This is too slow, come up by yourself."

Nao glanced at Jiu Xing with a little surprise. The other person's red hair hanging on her face was particularly conspicuous in this snow-white world.

Nao was not pretentious. With a sweet feeling in her heart, she lay directly on Jiuxing's back and put her arms around Jiuxing's neck.

Jiu Xing stood up with Nao on his back, weighed Nao and joked:
"You've gained weight recently, haven't you? You've lost a lot of weight."

As soon as these words came out, the sweetness in Nao's heart disappeared instantly, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"I'm so sorry I got fat..."

She has indeed been staying in the library recently, and her training level is indeed much less than before.

Moreover, Nao felt that she had a physique that was prone to gaining weight, and unexpectedly did not refute Kyuuki's teasing.

"Hold on tight."

Jiu Xing bent down slightly, gathered chakra in his feet and exerted force suddenly, and the whole person bounced high into the sky like a cannonball!
Nao hugged Jiuxing tightly and looked at everything around her. The forest under the wind and snow was very spectacular, and the sky and the earth were all white.

The experience of having her beloved carry her on his back and gliding high in the sky was something she had never had before.

Jiuxing leaped with Nao and flew hundreds of meters. As the two gradually landed on the ground, a thick golden chain flew out from Jiuxing's hand and instantly tightly bound the two towering trees.

Jiu Xing stepped on the golden chain, and the weight of the two people plus the kinetic energy directly bent the two ancient trees.

Then the two of them suddenly shot up into the sky like an arrow!
As the two of them moved forward quickly, Crescent Moon Valley appeared before them. "It's in front."

Nao put one arm around Jiu Xing's neck and pointed to a valley ahead with one hand.

Almost at the same time, Kyuuki and Nao opened their Kagura Heart's Eye and Byakugan respectively.

In Nao's Byakugan vision, there was an extremely distorted place deep in a mountain in the so-called Crescent Valley ahead, even her vision was distorted.

And in Jiu Xing's Kagura's mind's eye, there was an extremely blurry area of ​​chakra in front of him.

There is only natural energy in nature, which is the fairy chakra, but the natural energy can only be transformed into fairy chakra after being filtered by the fairy user.

Under normal circumstances, chakra does not exist in nature.

In other words, the chakra-fuzzy area in the Crescent Moon Valley is the target of him and Nao.

The space-time channel between the earth and the moon!

"Let's go there."

Following Jiu Xing's response, his figure suddenly accelerated, and soon he arrived in the Crescent Valley.

With the huge range of perception of Kagura's mind's eye and Byakugan, the two easily found the passage leading to the mysterious place.

It was a cave hidden behind a huge rock.

He easily crushed it with the Great Crimson Lotus Rasengan, and took Nao into the bottomless passage.

For some reason, the cave glowed with a golden-green fluorescence, allowing for unobstructed vision.

With the help of this light, the two quickly reached their destination.

A pool of water emitting a faint golden-green fluorescence.

"This is……"

Nao looked intently, and felt that the pool of water in front of her eyes had twisted into a whole, and she could not see anything at all.

Even Jiu Xing's Kagura mind's eye couldn't detect anything.

The pool of water in front of him was like a mosaic, blocking his perception.

However, Jiu Xing's attention was not entirely on the pool of water. He easily found one of his targets.

With this pool of water as the center, a huge magic circle fills the space, protected by the surrounding rugged rocks.

After moving the rubble, an ancient yet simple symbol appeared in front of Jiu Xing.

Jiu Xing stroked the symbol, his eyes sparkling.

found it……

As expected, this is an ultra-long-distance space-time transfer array connecting the Earth and the Moon.

"this is?"

Nao looked over curiously at Jiu Xing's strange movements.

"You recognize this?"

Jiu Xing looked at Nao expectantly.

He didn't recognize this symbol, but he could guess that it belonged to the Otsutsuki.

Whether it is the Box of Paradise in Jiuxing's hand, or the turtle that traveled through time and space in Boruto, they all belong to the Otsutsuki.

The value of these tools is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary ninja tools.

"Well, this text is Hugh."

Nao nodded.

She likes to study history on a daily basis and has some knowledge of texts from hundreds of years ago.

However, the appearance of ancient characters here is enough to prove that the Hyuga rebel did come to this place.

"stop……"

Jiu Xing whispered, with a gleam in his eyes.

His research on sealing techniques is among the best in the ninja world.

Naturally, I know what the word "rest" means.

Eight gates.

This Eight Gates is naturally not the Eight Gates of Might Guy, but one of the Eight Gates of Dunjia.

The three odd numbers are Yi, Bing and Ding.

The eight gates are open, rest, birth, injury, stop, view, shock and death.

To escape means to hide.

Jia refers to the six Jias, namely Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen and Jiayin.

This "Xiu" represents the Xiu Gate among the Eight Gates.

Jiu Xing came to a place near the pond according to a specific pattern, turned over the gravel under his feet, and another symbol appeared in front of him.

“This is open.”

Nao looked at the symbol in front of Jiu and obviously understood what Jiu Xing had discovered.

As expected, this Earth-Moon passage is composed of eight gates.

It is not only the human body that has eight gates, there are also eight gates between heaven and earth.

Those who have mastered the art of sealing can even use the eight gates to distinguish good and bad luck and yin and yang, which is also an important part of geomancy and yin and yang.

With the clue, Jiu Xing quickly cleared the rubble in this space.

A complete magic circle appeared before his eyes.

A huge magic circle filled the entire space, mysterious and responsible. All the ancient symbols gathered in Jiuxing's mind under Nao's interpretation.

Originally, Jiu Xing thought that the Otsutsuki clan's teleportation array was something he had never encountered before.

It seems that Kushina, Karin, and Kaoru had already completed the prototype of such a teleportation array!

However, this also proves that the Uzumaki clan and the Hyuga clan are indeed closely connected with the Otsutsuki clan.

Jiu Xing was able to understand the formation with the help of Uzumaki's sealing technique, and Nao was able to recognize the words with the help of the ancient books of her clan.

But what is important right now is not this, but the other end of this channel.

"Jiu Xing, did you find anything?"

Nao looked in shock at the giant magic circle surrounding the mysterious pool of water.

"Well, this is a teleportation array. The other end is in an unknown place."

Jiu Xing responded while looking at the pool of water in front of him.

Now that the teleportation array is almost clear, it's time to head to their destination.

Moon!

"Are you interested in taking a look?"

Jiu Xing curled up a smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at the pool in front of him.

He didn't know whether the group of Otsutsuki on the moon had internal strife, but he knew this.

No matter what those Otsutsuki above are like, they will not be his match.

Now for Jiu Xing, 99% of the ninjas in the ninja world are no match for him.

The only opponents are the unknown Uzumaki Nagato and Uchiha Hikaru.

If she could obtain the Rinnegan, it would be almost certain that Nao would be able to achieve the Rinnegan chakra mode given her bloodline.

This way, we will be more confident of defeating Dawn.

Moreover, the puppet technology of that group of Otsutsuki is also extremely tempting.

"Now that we are here, how can we not go and take a look?"

Nao looked at Jiu Xing's extremely interested description and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

I guess I have no chance to refuse at this time.

But aren't you interested?

　In the finale of the movie, Hiashi Hyuga clearly told Kakashi that Hinata was on the moon. Obviously, he knew what was on the moon, which means that the Hyuga clan had information about the Otsutsuki on the moon.
