Chapter 196: Chapter 89: The Night Breeze is Cool
Whirlpool Village, within the prison.
Kamihane's spirit form sat cross-legged in Iwaya Taishi's mental world, his eyes closed. As the clear light in his palm slowly faded, he had digested all the information.
"To be on the safe side, I should look at a few more people."
Next, his spirit form repeatedly passed through the foreheads of the prisoners. In a short moment, he had examined the memories of no less than ten people.
The results were all the same as Iwaya Taishi's memories. Even the tasks of the executioners matched each other.
"So, they plan to destroy the Land of Whirlpools using this kind of scheme?"
He opened his eyes slightly, and his spirit form also maintained his body's habits, subconsciously touching his translucent chin.
"So, because my existence has weakened the current Hidden Leaf, the Hidden Sand, Hidden Mist, and Hidden Stone are taking advantage of Leaf's weakness and dare to attack the Uzumaki Clan… Hmm… Did I cause the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools?"
"No!" He immediately rejected his own idea, his will resolute. "What does it have to do with me? The Uzumaki Clan is in this state entirely due to Hashirama Senju's problems. What is meant to happen will still happen, it's just a matter of time, like… the First Shinobi World War."
He leaned back in mid-air, his thoughts racing.
"As long as I don't interfere, then the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan is inevitable. Am I to take a share of the spoils, or should I just wait and see?"
Before heading to the dungeon, his spirit form had actually done two things.
First, he sought out the residences of Whirlpool Village's high-ranking personnel, entering their minds to look for clues about Sealing Jutsu.
As expected, the memories regarding Sealing Jutsu, like the name of Sealing Jutsu itself, were locked behind powerful seals, making it impossible to examine them.
Then, unwilling to give up, Kamihane flew around the entire Whirlpool Village eight times, with the aim of finding a hidden chamber where the Uzumaki Clan might store scrolls of secret techniques, which was how the Hidden Leaf Village did things.
Unfortunately, he still found nothing.
He did discover the restricted area mentioned by Uzumaki Kurami, but it was shrouded in restrictions even more powerful than Whirlpool Village's Barrier. He simply couldn't break through as only a spirit form.
The Spirit Transformation Technique was good in many ways. After the spirit left the body, it could ignore any physical means and treat terrain as nothing, but unfortunately, it was restrained by Barrier Jutsu. After all, the essence of Barrier Jutsu was a kind of range-type Sealing Jutsu.
In the shinobi world, there was nothing that Sealing Jutsu couldn't handle. Even numerical and mechanical monsters like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, as long as they were hit by the Six Paths Sealing Technique, would still be instantly killed.
This was why Kamihane could entrust his hope of suppressing the Karma to Sealing Jutsu.
He couldn't confirm whether the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu had actual scrolls. If it was really passed down orally, then it would be difficult.
According to information from the original timeline, after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the major shinobi villages that benefited from it didn't show any signs of possessing any Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu.
The proof was that the Hidden Sand Village's One-Tail Shukaku was still unstable and could only rely on Priest Fū's Buddhist compassion to continuously reform it to keep it quiet.
After it was sealed into Gaara's body, a "mysterious man of value" had to confirm its value. Relying on Gaara's own will to suppress Shukaku? Was this not pure nonsense?
If they had really obtained Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu, whether it was the Four Symbols Seal or the Eight Trigrams Seal, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
As for the Hidden Mist Village, it goes without saying that they are a village where whether a sealing is successful or not all depended on personal fate. Success meant a perfect Jinchūriki; failure… wouldn't even have their name recorded… If they had really benefited from the Uzumaki Clan, it wouldn't have been like this.
It was unknown whether the Hidden Cloud Village participated in this operation in the original timeline, but based on the later results, they had always used the Iron Armor Seal, which had nothing to do with Uzumaki Sealing Jutsu…
All signs indicated that while these people had destroyed the Uzumaki Clan, they had not obtained the miraculous Sealing Jutsu.
Kamihane thought hard and finally made a decision.
With a thought, his spirit form immediately withdrew from a prisoner's forehead, rising straight up, penetrating the layers of earth, and finally possessing one of the Uzumaki clansmen guarding the dungeon.
Kamihane instantly caused this person to fall asleep, thereby taking over the body. He turned around, walked into the dungeon, and entered the cell.
Amidst the prisoners' confused gazes, Kamihane raised his hand and directly tore off the sealing talisman on Iwaya Taishi's body. Then, he turned around, walked out of the cell, and locked the door with a "bang."
He left an order in the Uzumaki clansman's mental world, using Genjutsu Control to manipulate him step by step away from the dungeon, while his spirit form withdrew and smoothly possessed the bewildered Iwaya Taishi.
"Iwaya Taishi" smiled slightly, did the same, tore off the talismans on everyone, and allowed the prisoners to regain their mobility.
"As expected of the Captain!" A small Hidden Stone ninja immediately ran to Kamihane, his face excited.
"Everyone, do you remember our mission?"
Kamihane raised his eyes slightly, his dark gaze appearing somewhat sinister in the dim cell. He ignored the Hidden Stone ninja in front of him, his gaze passing through the crowd, locking onto the jōnin from the Hidden Sand and Hidden Mist Villages.
"Of course, I remember!" the small ninja responded, his face showing a willingness to die. "We will find the Uzumaki Clan and fight them to the death. Even if we die, we will die honorably in battle!"
"Captain, we… Ugh!"
A Chakra Blade suddenly pierced out, clear and azure, directly tearing through his back and piercing his heart. Warm blood splattered on everyone's faces.
The Hidden Stone ninja's eyes widened, and he looked in shock at the Chakra Blade piercing his chest. The excruciating pain made his entire body convulse. He struggled to take his last breath, trembling as he raised his head, meeting a gaze colder than glaciers.
There was no emotion in Kamihane's eyes, cold as an iceberg. Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, he slowly opened his mouth. "You came here seeking death. What's wrong with me granting you death?"
He glanced at the other two, who were moving restlessly, his voice deep. "You… what are you waiting for?"
As soon as his words fell, a muffled groan of pain was heard. The Hidden Mist Village jōnin took action, snapping the neck of his subordinate.
The Hidden Sand Village jōnin didn't want to be outdone. With a flick of his hand, five slender threads quietly extended, quickly wrapping around the necks of the three people in front of him. A fierce look flashed across his face, and with a force of his five fingers, the threads tightened sharply!
The three people thrashed on the ground for a while, but they didn't even make a sound before they lost all signs of life.
Among the three, there was more than just his Hidden Sand subordinate.
The Hidden Mist Village jōnin narrowed his eyes. Decisive killing intent filled the air.
At this moment, he no longer held back. With just his iron fists, he killed anyone he saw. Some of the chunin and genin finally couldn't bear the fear in their hearts and also took action, resulting in a bizarre melee that began in an instant.
Kamihane raised his hand and held it, and azure light stretched out in his palm, turning into a slender blade. The blade was transparent, thin as a cicada's wing, and under the faint moonlight, it looked like smooth jade.
He stepped out, and six identical figures suddenly appeared around him. The blade tore through the air, like a lion pouncing into a flock of sheep, and large amounts of blood spurted out, staining the walls red.
Azure light erupted, and slashes came from all directions. Severed limbs and torsos were thrown around randomly, and muffled groans of pain rose and then abruptly stopped.
The space in the cell was already small, and no one could escape such an offensive. Even the two jōnin had terrified looks on their faces, and they were successively cut in half in their clumsy attempts to defend, dying on the spot with hatred in their hearts.
In a short while, Kamihane had slaughtered all the prisoners.
The azure blade dissipated. His spirit form swept through Iwaya Taishi's mental world and turned into clear light, escaping like a comet streaking across the night sky and returning to his body.
Iwaya Taishi still lost all signs of life, falling limply to the ground because his Spiritual Core had been erased by Kamihane.
The night breeze was cool, and everything was as normal.
