Chapter 216 - 214: Supporting the Frontline

Chapter 216: Chapter 214: Supporting the Frontline

"Boss! Some guy suddenly popped up and said he wants to destroy the world. He completely looks down on you! Sister Konan, don’t you agree?"

Kano, in her Kashi persona, ran to the Akatsuki Organization to complain to Pain, and even rushed to Konan’s side to cry and vent.

Konan couldn’t help but pat the cute girl’s little head, sighing inwardly:

Two years have passed, and she even has another wrinkle at the corner of her eye, yet this child hasn’t grown taller at all. Could it be that she’s already an adult and won’t grow anymore? But she really looks like a child; with people like her, their age is often quite absurd.

"Kashi, how old are you this year?"

"I’m 15. I feel like you’re thinking about something very rude."

"No, no. Big sister just wanted to tell you that running and jumping around helps you grow taller. You’re still young, so there’s still a chance you’ll grow."

"Don’t comfort me. I know my height is hopeless. Actually, being a loli is quite nice too."

"Kashi, who is this person you’re talking about?"

Pain’s Deva Path looked at Kano, his expression calm but tinged with a hint of displeasure. His ideal was world peace; if the world were destroyed, there would be no peace to speak of.

"It’s a guy named Moryo. I don’t know his specific origin, but it seems he’s also unkillable."

"Oh? Really?"

Nagato clearly didn’t believe it. He didn’t believe there was anyone in the world who couldn’t be killed. Even Hidan, who possessed an immortal body, had been finished off by someone.

"My intelligence is limited; that’s all I know."

"In that case, Zetsu, go gather some information. If anyone dares to interfere with our plan, then as a God, I shall deliver the appropriate judgment upon them."

"Hehehe, alright then. Kashi, lead the way."

"You got it!"

Kano left behind a Shadow Ninja this time and prepared to lead Zetsu to the Land of Swamps.

Wearing her Akatsuki robe, Kano went to a high point in the Hidden Rain Village and leaped high into the air with Zetsu.

"Shadow Dragon!"

A pitch-black winged dragon flew out from the shadows. The two Akatsuki members landed on the dragon’s back and sped toward their destination.

"Hey, Kashi, how is the plan coming along?"

"We’re still missing the Chakra of the Ichibi, Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tailed. But those will be easy to get; I’ll just go talk to them, and they’ll be willing to share some with us."

"Then Mother’s resurrection depends entirely on you."

Over the past two years, Black Zetsu had naturally tried to find Obito. However, Kano had not only changed Obito’s appearance but had also taken him away without leaving a trace, leaving Black Zetsu with nowhere to look.

Later, Black Zetsu sought out Kashi because Obito had gone to find her before he disappeared.

Kashi had made things clear to Black Zetsu: she had captured Obito, but she could also help fulfill the plan—not the Eye of the Moon Plan that Obito knew about, but the plan to resurrect ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Black Zetsu was initially shocked and wanted to flee, but after being caught by Kano and hearing her explanation, it acknowledged her. It felt that Kano’s plan was even more reliable than its own.

At the time, Kano also felt that resurrecting ōtsutsuki Kaguya wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Hadn’t she created the God Tree precisely to defend against other ōtsutsuki? Furthermore, she had once fallen in love with a human (in the anime), which showed she had emotions (and she’d even fallen for Naruto’s Reverse Harem Jutsu).

So, she decided to help this filial son, Black Zetsu, even though its actions were indeed quite despicable. But if Kano put herself in its shoes—if her most important person were sealed away—she might do things even more despicable than Black Zetsu.

Besides, if she managed to kill the likes of Kinshiki, Momoshiki, and Isshiki and then extracted their shadows, just how powerful would she become?

"Except for the Six-Tails Jinchuriki who still has a breath of life left, the others were accidentally killed. If you had told me sooner that you had a way to deal with those outsiders, I wouldn’t have had to be so ruthless."

"Well, nobody notified me when you guys started collecting the Tailed Beasts. You only asked for my help when it came to the Seven-Tails. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even known you’d started."

At that time, Kano was participating in the second stage of the Chunin Exams. She was shocked when she heard the Akatsuki Organization was coming for the Seven-Tails. Were they excluding her in a private group chat? Besides, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fuu, had already become her friend, so she couldn’t bring herself to strike.

If it had been any of the others, she definitely would have been extremely decisive.

Fortunately, extracting Tailed Beasts takes time. Kano still managed to retrieve the shadows of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi and the Five-Tails Han. She hadn’t had time to retrieve the other two yet.

"That was Nagato’s arrangement. He saw that you were still young and didn’t want you to take on such dangerous missions. Isn’t Nagato listening to you obediently now? The task of finding the Tailed Beasts has been fully entrusted to you, while everyone else has started looking for the ōtsutsuki."

"So, did you find that ōtsutsuki who was ambushed and killed by your mother?"

"Not yet."

"Forget it, he’s probably hidden quite well. We’ll take our time. You should also promote a good reputation for your mother and do more good deeds. That way, others in the Ninja World will be willing to help her deal with the outsiders."

"I’m working on it, I’m working on it. Master, please stop nagging."

"Alright, we’ve arrived. Go investigate on your own; I have other things to do."

"Okay!"

After dropping Black Zetsu off, Kano prepared to support the frontline. Those brainless stone men probably couldn’t kill the Ninjas—at most, they’d cause some injuries—and leaving them to her students for healing would be more than enough.

Riding the flying dragon, Kano intended to go buff the frontline.

The Ghost Legion had more than one marching route. Some chose to set traps and ambushes at narrow passes, while others chose to use the mountains and rivers to assist their assault.

As for those in flat terrain, they had to find ways to hold the line with brute force.

Kano changed her clothes and descended from the sky!

"Everyone! I’ve come to lend you a hand!"

This time, besides keeping a few Shadow Ninjas as life-saving measures, Kano sent all the other Shadow Ninjas out to intercept the Ghost Legion.

"Kano-chan’s special performance is about to begin! Everyone, are you ready!"

Kano’s sudden appearance immediately made the eyes of all the warriors light up in surprise.

"Look! It’s the konoha songstress!"

"Holy crap, it’s the real person! Not through a screen!"

"konoha songstress! You’re my fan... no, wait, I said it wrong, I’m your Idol!"

Only a few present were Konoha Ninjas; most were soldiers from various large and small nations. As the most dazzling Idol in the entire Ninja World, it would be a lie to say they didn’t like her. However, they were just commoners; unlike the wealthy who had annual memberships in Konoha Village, they couldn’t even afford the price of a single concert ticket.

Now that they could hear the konoha songstress’s live concert for free, how could they not be excited!

"Then, let’s begin!"

A one-person band using the Shadow Clone Jutsu, plus an Amplification Barrier. The singing, mixed with a marching tune, spread across the entire battlefield! The sweet voice was intoxicating, and the cheerful melody felt as if it had feathers and wings, as if a train would come crashing into the enemies at any moment.

The wonderful singing seemed to possess magic; everyone’s blood boiled with excitement, and they felt filled with inexhaustible strength! The fear and confusion in their hearts were swept away!

The Shadow Ninjas were also strengthened by the song and began their assault on the Ghost Legion.

The most terrifying damage dealers were naturally Shadow Hiruzen and Shadow ōnoki. Their Ninjutsu output was truly horrific; with the Five Release Great Combo Technique and the Dust Release sweep, a stone soldier would vanish on the spot if hit by either.

Just these two unleashing their ultimates without restraint instantly wiped out 50% of the Ghost Legion within sight.

"It’s been a while, and I really shouldn’t underestimate you! Now this grand rescue has become a late arrival, so I’ll just have to add the finishing touch! Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"

A large area of land turned into a swamp, and a massive number of the Ghost Legion were swallowed by the earth.

And Kano saw who had arrived.

"Pervy Sage!"
