Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 75
Chapter 75: Third Kazekage: I Have No Way Out
Several hours later, Jiraiya cautiously peered around the corner, pouting his butt. Tsunade took cover on the roof, surveying the area. Orochimaru focused on observing the various courtyards.
“There’s no one on the street.”
“No signs of any activity nearby.”
“The yards are empty, no one is coming out.”
As they reported their findings, Chiba looked troubled. Activating his unique ability, he exhaled in a series of puffs. Instantly, a large amount of dust was expelled from the nearby hut, swirling into the air.
“Solidify!”
As Chiba opened his mouth, the dust solidified into a ball.
“Condense!”
The airborne dust ball suddenly shrank, reducing its size tenfold.
“This ability is truly extraordinary…”
“How can he control dust like that without any Chakra fluctuations?”
“Being able to make it float in the air is simply…”
Witnessing this scene, Orochimaru and the others couldn’t help but marvel at Chiba’s unusual ability. He had mastered the control of dust to such an extent that he could even levitate and compress it.
“If that dust ball were to hit someone’s face, it would certainly have a powerful impact.”
“I wonder, will he eat it?”
“I’m not going to watch.”
From then on, Jiraiya and Orochimaru watched Chiba together, their expressions filled with anticipation. Tsunade claimed not to watch, but her eyes were wider than anyone else’s.
Hadn’t they seen it all?
The only thing they hadn’t witnessed was someone actually eating dust.
“Hehe, what are you all looking at?”
Holding the dust ball in his hand, Chiba noticed the peculiar expressions of the others. However, what’s this?
In the next moment, he threw the dust ball into his mouth.
Gulp~
“He swallowed it, he actually swallowed it.”
“His throat moved, he must have eaten it.”
“But he swallowed it directly, isn’t he afraid of choking?”
Tsunade and Orochimaru clearly saw Chiba swallow the dust ball, a look of disbelief on their faces. Jiraiya, on the other hand, was worried that Chiba might choke.
To be honest, Chiba wasn’t accustomed to collecting dust in front of these three people. However, they clung to him like adhesive plasters and couldn’t be shaken off.
He had been avoiding them all morning, but in the end, they were still trailing behind him. They claimed to be protecting him. Chiba couldn’t see it, but what exactly were they constantly commenting on?
…
Hidden Sand Village, Kazekage’s Office.
Two intelligence scrolls were placed on the table. Kazekage picked up the first scroll and began reading.
“Chiba has mastered the Dust Release Bloodline Limit, collects dust, and establishes a farm in Konoha’s hinterland…”
This was the information passed on by the Sand Village shinobi who had infiltrated Konoha, and it held great significance.
“No wonder, after infiltrating the village, he visited the huts. So, he can become stronger by consuming dust!”
“Also, he’s building a farm. I’m afraid he intends to use livestock to produce manure…”
Kazekage was no fool. He quickly deduced the purpose of the farm.
After a moment of contemplation, he picked up the second scroll. It was the information passed on by Chiyo from the front lines, also concerning Chiba.
“Shit Manipulation? Chiba is actually using the Shit Release?”
Upon seeing this information, Kazekage was shocked. Without this information, Kazekage wouldn’t have been afraid of Chiba at all. After all, his own abilities could easily overpower the opponent.
As the master of Magnet Release, Kazekage could not only fly but also employ Magnet Release Sand Iron for long-range attacks. Furthermore, once the iron sand entered the opponent’s body, it could completely paralyze them.
But now…
“He can assimilate the Bloodline Limits of others by devouring them with his Shit Release?”
This was too terrifying. Even Kazekage couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear. Frowning deeply, Kazekage made up his mind that Chiba had to be eliminated.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
At that moment, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the office. Soon, the new head of intelligence rushed in.
“Kazekage-sama, we’ve received an urgent message from the Uzumaki Country’s crew team.”
“The crew team? Shouldn’t this information come through the Sand Force?”
Kazekage furrowed his brow, sensing that something was amiss.
As expected!
When he saw the contents of the scroll, his expression turned extremely grim.
“All the teams, more than a dozen of them, were wiped out in battle. Their bodies were severed in half, and covered in… shit.”
Shit again!
Uncontrollable rage surged within Kazekage.
“Rosa was impaled through the chest by a massive dust attack from Chiba, and now even Saari has been killed by him!”
What further angered Kazekage was the disruption to their supplies.
All the shinobi sent to plunder the Whirlpool Country had been killed, which meant that the frontline forces were left without support. Now, Kazekage faced only two options.
Either retreat and abandon the Whirlpool Country, withdrawing the frontline troops to the Wind Country.
Or personally lead the Sand Village shinobi in an assault on the Konoha defense forces, forcibly seizing the border of the Fire Country.
“Both options have their disadvantages! But I am the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage in history!”
A resolute gleam flashed in his eyes as Kazekage made his decision.
“Now, immediately contact our undercover agent in Konoha Village and poison the mountain behind Konoha!”
“Poisoning?”
The subordinate was taken aback, feeling a sense of dread towards Kazekage’s current state.
“Yes, poisoning! Even if the insider perishes, I will honor them as a ‘Sand Village hero’!”
“Yes!”
The subordinate quickly left the office.
Gazing out of the window, Kazekage muttered to himself.
“I have no other choice!”
