Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 136: The Earth Kage, Ōnoki!

"Ah, I don't know why, at my old age, I still have to go out for this kind of mission.

Oh, my poor back," an elderly man lamented, clutching his waist with a face full of melancholy.

This was none other than the man known as "Ōnoki of Both Scales," the Third Tsuchikage—Ōnoki himself!

His presence here was to seize the secret techniques of the Immortal Organization, as well as uncover what the Akatsuki was planning.

According to their investigations, an organization named Akatsuki posed a significant danger.

Their members boasted extraordinary strength, and much of the information about them came directly from Akatsuki itself.

"Come on, come on. If your back hurts, shouldn't you get out and move more? Don't you agree?"

A lively young girl said playfully, then shifted her gaze to a chubby man nearby.

This girl was Kurotsuchi.

As for the portly ninja beside her, it was Akatsuchi.

Kurotsuchi's father, Kitsuchi, was holding the rear line in Iwagakure and hadn't come along.

Only the three of them had arrived at Kusagakure—two Jōnin and one Kage-level ninja.

Such a luxurious lineup could dominate anywhere.

However, unbeknownst to them, a pair of individuals had already spotted their group.

These two weren't strangers—they were none other than Hōzuki Suigetsu and Yakushi Kabuto of the Immortal Organization!

After their recent training, both Suigetsu and Kabuto had achieved Kage-level strength.

Against one Kage and two Jōnin, they were confident it wouldn't be a problem.

However, Ōnoki wasn't an ordinary Kage.

He had survived the Second Shinobi War and was one of the strongest among Kage-level combatants!

"They're from Iwagakure, right?" Suigetsu grumbled, baring his teeth.

These guys were always so despicable and sneaky, constantly coveting their secrets. Did they really think they were pushovers?

"In that case, let's settle this here," Kabuto said with a smile.

The three of them weren't worth his concern.

According to intelligence, the woman and the man were both Jōnin, while only the old man was Kage-level.

But given how old he was, there was probably no way he could exert even half of his full strength.

So why should they be afraid or worried?

With that, Kabuto and Suigetsu directly blocked their path.

"You're here for us, aren't you?"

"Spying on our secret techniques—is this the style of Iwagakure?"

"So, there really are people hiding in the shadows," Ōnoki said, gazing at the two before him.

However, the impatient Kurotsuchi immediately rushed forward.

She aimed a sidekick straight at Kabuto.

Kabuto raised his arm to block, but his arm turned bright red from the impact!

The strength behind that kick shocked Kabuto.

Although she was just a Jōnin, she had managed to deliver such a powerful blow.

This girl wasn't simple!

"Take this!"

When Kurotsuchi saw her kick hadn't achieved the desired effect, she followed up with another flying kick.

This time, however, Kabuto chose to evade instead of taking it head-on.

Meanwhile, Akatsuchi began forming hand seals to unleash a ninjutsu to assist.

But he clearly forgot about Suigetsu.

Suigetsu swung his large blade fiercely at Akatsuchi, forcing him to roll away in a hurry without even finishing his seals.

"You ignorant brats dare—" Ōnoki was about to say something to rally morale.

But before he could finish, Suigetsu had already smacked Akatsuchi flying with his weapon!

Ōnoki was utterly stunned.

How could this youngster defeat Akatsuchi?

Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi was also sent flying back by Kabuto...

Seeing this, Ōnoki realized he couldn't stand idle any longer.

Otherwise, his granddaughter and Akatsuchi might lose their lives.

In that case, it was time for him to act!

"This old man hasn't moved his bones in a long time.

Since you've provoked me like this, let me show you my strength!" Ōnoki declared.

With that, he began floating into the air.

Seeing this, Suigetsu and Kabuto paused momentarily.

"It seems he's not as easy to deal with as we thought."

"Good thing we came prepared," Suigetsu said, suddenly dashing toward a certain direction.

Ōnoki thought they were trying to escape and immediately gave chase.

However, when he caught up, he found Suigetsu entering a large lake.

Suddenly, a giant water golem extended its hand to grab Ōnoki!

"Hmph! Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A white sphere of light formed between Ōnoki's palms.

The sphere shot toward Suigetsu's arm.

Boom!

With just one hit, Suigetsu's arm was blasted into a cloud of steam.

Fortunately, Suigetsu's body had unique properties; otherwise, that single strike might have cost him his life.

On the other side, Kabuto had already knocked out and tied up Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi.

With these two hostages, Ōnoki wouldn't dare act recklessly.

After all, they could use them to threaten him directly!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Orochimaru had been intercepted by Suna's ninjas.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to stop me?"
