Chapter 784 : Chaos in the Ninja World (2)
🕑 Added 2024-10-29 01:22:59 +0000 UTC“Heh, I didn't think I'd run into Sasori of the Red Sand here. What an honor.”
Fujin was genuinely happy. He couldn't even hide the glint in his eye! The last time they met, Sasori had given Fujin quite a gift. Fujin had even traded some of it with Hiruzen and got his hands on a very useful rank S jutsu. Even though he still wasn't very comfortable with handling the other puppets, there was no reason to decline another generous gift. He couldn't help but wonder whether Sasori would give him the legendary puppet of the Third Kazekage during their second meeting!
A chill passed down Deidara's spine as he shivered involuntarily and wondered, ‘I have never seen such a passionate gaze. Why is he staring at Sasori in such a manner? It's almost as if he found some great treasure!’
Sasori, despite having changed his body to a puppet, immediately lost his temper. Needless to say, he had already connected the dots when Zetsu reported Fujin's abilities. However, he never imagined that Fujin would look at him in such a brazen manner on their second meeting. There wasn't a hint of doubt in his mind that Fujin wanted to steal more of his clones.
He cursed, “It was you wasn't it, Suzuki Fujin? You are the one who stole my puppets!”
The Konoha ninjas, who were following Fujin, were dumbfounded. None of them ever imagined that their commander would be accused like this by a rogue ninja. Konomi wondered, ‘What in the hell? He stole puppets from Sasori? Is that even possible? No wonder he is so angry. I can feel his bloodlust.’
To the surprise of the Konoha ninjas, Fujin immediately replied aggressively, “Bullshit! This is the first time I have seen you. Don't try to sully the reputation of Konoha ninjas without any proof.”
Fujin's words confused the Konoha ninjas. They wondered who was lying. While they would normally believe their commander, they saw no reason for Sasori to make such a ridiculous lie. Even Deidara was confused. He thought, ‘Such a passionate response, it almost makes me believe him. However, what was the glint in his eyes earlier? No, Sasori should be the one telling the truth. Still, to steal his puppets… What a lunatic!’
Unlike the confused fellows, Sasori was even more enraged. Not only had Fujin humiliated him by interfering with his mission, defeating his puppetry and stealing his invaluable puppets, but he also refused to take credit for any of those achievements! For a moment, Sasori wasn't sure what was more humiliating.
A dozen puppets suddenly appeared around Sasori, and he said, “It doesn't matter whether you lie or not; I'll refine you into my next puppet.”
Seeing the puppets, the Konoha ninjas became slightly nervous. Sasori may have gone rogue over a decade ago, but his reputation still remained. No one wanted to deal with his countless, unpredictable and poisonous traps. Thankfully, Fujin ordered, “Retreat. I'll handle these two. Don't come close to our battlefield.”
The Konoha ninjas nodded and immediately retreated. While some were worried for Fujin, the ones who saw him fight in the arena were confident in his abilities.
Deidara put his hands in his bag and began eating clay with the mouths on his hands while looking at the retreating ninjas. However, before he could make a move, Sasori said, “Let them go. We can't afford any distraction against him.”
Deidara frowned and asked, “Wouldn't it be better if we forced him to protect his weaker allies?”
Sasori answered, “No, he isn't soft like the recent generations of Konoha ninjas. He is as ruthless as their older generations.”
Sasori moved a few fingers, launching several poisonous needles at Fujin. However, a breeze appeared, blocking them with ease. Soon after, Fujin expelled large amounts of chakra, immediately transforming into winds.
Sasori and Deidara retreated while Sasori warned, “Don't underestimate him and be careful of those winds. If you enter its range, you'll die.”
Deidara was surprised. He didn't expect Sasori to control his anger so easily and have such a high opinion of Suzuki Fujin despite being humiliated seconds ago. While Sasori was undoubtedly angry, he clearly recalled how useless his puppets were against Fujin's technique. It was the first time in his life that he had been defeated so easily. As such, Sasori treated Fujin as his greatest enemy instead of with disdain.
The Wind Domain took form as Fujin moved forward. Several Wind Blades flew towards Sasori and Deidara as Fujin asked loudly, “You wouldn't run away after accusing me, would you Sasori?”

‘Lava Release: Melting Apparition jutsu’
‘Water Release: Great Waterfall jutsu’
On the high seas, two supercharged jutsus clashed. The Mizukage faction ninjas breathed a sigh of relief. They were fighting against the rebel forces when Terumi Mei suddenly appeared on the battlefield and unleashed a massive wave of lava at them. They were completely caught off guard. Fortunately, before the lava could reach them, an equally strong Water jutsu stopped it.
Mei turned her head and said, “Mangetsu, I didn't expect you to be here.”
Mangetsu chucked, “Yeah, I was on my way to the main battlefield when I had a feeling that something was off. To think you would appear on this battlefield. If you win here before the main battlefield is settled, you could move these forces to flank our main army. A nasty maneuver indeed.”
Mei sighed and asked softly, “Why do you keep serving the Fourth Mizukage, Mangetsu? His reign has caused nothing but pain to Kirigakure. Join forces with me. Together, we could settle the war quickly and end the suffering of our people.”
Mangetsu grabbed Shibuki and replied, “Not only have you betrayed the village, but you are also trying to convince me to do the same. Why don't you stop this pointless resistance and surrender? It'll bring peace to the country. Besides…”
A smirk appeared on his face as he asked, “Do you think Lord Fourth is that weak?”
Mei's expression became dark. She knew very well how strong Yagura was. No one in Kirigakure had the strength to defeat a perfect Jinchuriki. The rebels had avoided him so far. However, they would eventually have to face him to win the civil war. But that was an issue for later.
On this sea, Terumi Mei, the strongest ninja in the rebel camp, and Hozuki Mangetsu, the strongest ninja after the Fourth Mizukage in the Mizukage faction, faced off in an epic battle.
——
“This is all very convenient. I'll eliminate the two of you at the same time.” In an inn, Jiraiya faced off against Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame to protect Naruto and Sasuke. Two of the strongest ninjas in Konoha were confronting a pair of Akatsuki members each at the same time!
——
‘Shit! We're completely outmatched! If this continues, we'll be wiped out! Even Orochimaru-sama could be captured by Kumogakure. If that happens…’ Kimimaro analyzed grimly as he coughed blood.
Darui was extremely strong just by himself and was supported by two Elite Jounins. However, it was Yugito who made Orochimaru's subordinates feel helpless. A near-perfect Jinchuriki was too strong for them. Even at his peak, Orochimaru wouldn't take her lightly.
To make matters worse, 36 more Kumogakure ninjas had joined in the battle. While they lacked in strength, they took away the numerical advantage of Orochimaru's subordinates and put them at a heavy disadvantage even in this aspect. In just a couple of minutes, four of Orochimaru's subordinates had sacrificed their lives.
‘Dance of the Seedling Fern!’
Kimimaro dug his right arm into the ground and sprouted a bone forest around him! Thousands of blades of bones rose from the ground, piercing several Kumogakure ninjas. Due to her massive form, even the cloak around Yugito was pierced.
Kimimaro huffed as he said, “I'll stall them, Orochimaru-sama. You must escape.”
Orochimaru immediately left with the rest of his subordinates. Had Kimimaro been in good condition, there was some hope of him making it out alive. Unfortunately, his condition had only worsened after Rasa's final blow. Even without this battle, he didn't have much time left to live.
Orochimaru could only sigh at how rapidly he kept losing his most reliable subordinates. Kabuto, Guren and the Sound Four, all had died due to his plans of attacking Konoha! And now, Kimimaro was about to join them.
——
‘How did we go from hunting that snake to fighting this monster? My art has no effect on him… The birds just explode whenever they enter those winds. Even the shockwaves of the explosions don't reach him. I suspect that he might repel even the C4 Karura!’ Deidara sighed helplessly.

Chaos for real haha. Thx for the chapter 😁
Devil Hex
My bad, didn't see.

I think you greatly underestimate jiraya, overestimate kisame (beaten by guy without problems) and above all underestimate how sick Itachi can only give 40/50% given that he can't be found by sasuke who is TOO dying. Jiraya is currently the strongest known ninja (so I'm not considering pain) in the world by at least a couple of inches above everyone except Itachi (who however can't give his best)

When i saw pain invading konoha and pain going all out against 6-8 tails, i understood he was going easy and/or was very restrained fighting in amegakure against jiraya. Also, you seem to underestimate itachi and kisame individually. Not to mention fighting and cooperating in pair. They can decimate almost everyone on 1vs2 that is not an alien or alien boosted.
Antonio Fazio
Eta?
Antonio Fazio
if only he had a summoning contract with them.....
Mohammed Sheekh
his sage transformation requires ma and pa, without them he can go into sage mode
Antonio Fazio
brother is a scene from canon. And in any case with the sage mode jiraya eliminates 3/5 of the pain without having information
Devil Hex
😅

Jiraya is strong, but in 1vs2 against Kizame & Itachi, i bet my money on the duo easily. Jiraya could only win depending of Itachi level of acting
Diametric
We saw him obliterate that mine
Diametric
Steal, to still his puppets... What a crazy guy!
Loc Le
Good title, so many fights happening all at once.
Qweku_v
Thanks
Devil Hex
👍
Chopper4ever
Can you make it 3 line gap when changing the pov. Sorry me kinda blind and need it a little more obvious
Devil Hex
Thanks
Zypharus
Still, to still his puppets… What a crazy guy!’ Still → Steal Btw thanks for the chapter!
Devil Hex
It's the reverse for me 😵💫 Anyway, alright. Lemme see what I can do :)
rain
I do see them, but the color scheme for patreon makes it difficult for me to distinguish right away, its better for sites like webnovel.
Devil Hex
😅 I'm not sure if adding lines is a good thing in a book... Kinda why I avoid those. However, you can see the change of pov/scene by the number of lines between them. You can see normal paras have one line gap between them while these have 2 line gaps.
Gummyking2
I always liked to think jirayia was good enough that he rarely needed to use sage mode
rain
maybe im dumb, but i definitely need some sort of line break something like __________ this between each POV switch, theres a lot in this chapter.
Antonio Fazio
Two words: sage mode
Jorge Leon Castanos
this chapter was fire
Devil Hex
Just some glimpses. (Early 200s, that Kumo arc where Fujin lost his squad)
Yamir
Nice!
Gummyking2
I hope jirayia is OP as well, we haven’t seen him fight yet I don’t think..
