Chapter 228: The Final Chapter of Jiraiya's Tale of the Gallant - The Frogs in the Well Finally Disperse into the Ocean
This also piqued Kitahara Kaede's interest. In the ninja world, other abilities are not rare, but the ability to fly is something that all villages lack. Apart from the ninjas of the Sky Ninja Village, only a very few ninjas in the ninja world possess the ability to fly.
For example, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, possessed the ability to fly, which was the effect of mastering the Earth Release technique, Super Light Heavy Rock Technique.
Thinking of this, Kitahara Kaede immediately made his move, throwing a kunai inscribed with a special technique. Tsurugi Fubuki quickly dodged, and just when she thought she had avoided the attack, Kitahara Kaede suddenly appeared in front of her, piercing through the energy shield formed by her chakra armor with a Chidori attack, and then slit her throat with the kunai, ending her life. The whole process was incredibly fast, and even Hyuga Keiko, who was fighting her, did not have time to react.
Seeing Kitahara Kaede intervene in the battle, Hyuga Keiko finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid of Tsurugi Fubuki, but some of Tsurugi Fubuki's ninjutsu were indeed quite rare, and she could also fly kites, making it difficult for a close-combat ninja like herself to fight.
"This chakra armor is a good thing. Collect it and bring it back to Konoha," Kitahara Kaede instructed Ayato Genryu and Hyuga Keiko.
The two immediately understood and began to peel off their armor.
Kitahara Kaede, on the other hand, turned her gaze to the Wolf Fang Avalanche in the distance.
Feeling Kitahara Kaede's gaze upon him, Wolf Fang Avalanche was terrified. He had caught a glimpse of how Kitahara Kaede had instantly defeated Tsurugi Fubuki, and all he wanted to do now was escape.
However, the more he tried to escape, the more he was unable to break free from the entanglement of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
These two are the main characters, and even though he is stronger than both of them, he still struggles against their combined strength.
In particular, both of them possessed powerful ninjutsu, far surpassing the strength of ninjas from small villages like his. If it weren't for his chakra armor, which could amplify his chakra and block fatal attacks, he would probably have been defeated long ago.
Seeing the current situation, he no longer dared to confront them head-on. He thought that taking down Feng Hua Xiao Xue would be a piece of cake, and he could even claim credit with the daimyo Feng Hua Nu Tao. Who knew it would turn out like this?
No one expected that the teenage boy from Konoha would be so terrifying.
Kakashi Hatake, who was about the same age back then, was already a Jonin, yet he still had to fight and retreat when facing him. But this Konoha boy was even more outrageous than Kakashi Hatake was back then.
But given the strength he's shown so far, why doesn't he have any reputation in the ninja world?
If Kitahara Kaede had a reputation commensurate with his strength, he wouldn't have made such a huge misjudgment.
Thinking of this, he immediately spread the wings on the back of his chakra armor, intending to escape.
"Trying to leave?"
Kitahara Kaede then drew the Thunder God Sword from his waist.
"Breathing of Thunder, First Form: Thunderclap Flash".
In an instant, Kitahara Kaede's figure flashed like lightning, directly rushing over.
The deafening roar shook the entire snowfield. If Sasuke Uchiha's use of Lightning Breathing was like a lightning snake, then Kitahara Kaede's Lightning Breathing was a lightning dragon.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Wolf Fang Avalanche, who was about to take off, and shattered the chakra shield that Wolf Fang had just gathered around him with a single sword strike, slashing him to the ground.
"Bang!"
Wolf Fang Avalanche's entire body crashed heavily to the ground.
The kill was instantaneous, and the entire process went exceptionally smoothly.
Although the Wolf Fang Avalanche had already exhausted a lot of chakra and stamina from Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, the fact that Kitahara Kaede could so easily annihilate it still stunned everyone.
"this..."
At this moment, Fuuka Koyuki finally confirmed Kitahara Kaede's strength. She had seen Wolf Fang Avalanche before. It was this person who directly defeated her father's guards, allowing Fuuka Nutō to easily usurp the throne.
Therefore, she was well aware of Wolf Fang Avalanche's strength, but she never expected that Kitahara Kaede could kill him so easily. No wonder he was so confident from the very beginning of this mission.
"He's gotten stronger again," said Xiang Tianyuanlong, watching Kitahara Kaede's impressive sword strike. "Still as flashy as ever."
He hadn't seen Kitahara Kaede go all out for a while, and every time there was a gap in time, Kitahara Kaede's strength would increase dramatically.
Even now, he simply can't fathom Kitahara Kaede's strength; it's definitely far beyond his comprehension.
Hyuga Keiko felt this even more deeply. Even within the Hyuga clan, where masters abound, she was certain that even the clan's current strongest fighter, the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, would not be a match for Kitahara Kaede.
She became increasingly curious about what kind of eye technique Kitahara Kaede had awakened that could enable him to make such great progress in such a short time.
"Brother Feng, that's amazing!" Naruto Uzumaki quickly caught up and exclaimed. "Much better than that arrogant Sasuke."
When he first learned about Thunder Breathing, he asked Kitahara Kaede to teach him Thunder Breathing as well.
However, he soon returned disappointed. Kitahara Kaede explained to him the knowledge of chakra nature transformation. Naruto Uzumaki's chakra nature is wind, and he has not yet reached the Jonin level, so he has not yet cultivated his own chakra nature transformation.
Therefore, he is unable to practice Lightning Breathing, which requires Lightning Release chakra.
So all he could do was stare and envy.
That Thunder Breathing First Form move is so cool!
It's hard to say which is more powerful, Lightning Breathing or Rasengan, but in terms of looks, Lightning Breathing is definitely incredibly cool.
Strength is temporary, but handsomeness is for a lifetime.
So Naruto Uzumaki stopped insisting on learning the Lightning Breathing technique.
However, Kitahara Kaede promised Uzumaki Naruto that if he ever developed (or drew) any Wind Breathing techniques in the future, he would teach them to him, which made him give up.
Kitahara Kaede knew that even if he did draw the Breath of the Wind, it might not be suitable for Uzumaki Naruto, because it wasn't just about the change in chakra attributes, but also about whether he had the talent to learn swordsmanship.
Sasuke Uchiha clearly had this talent, which is why Kitahara Kaede taught him Lightning Breathing immediately.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke couldn't help but roll his eyes. He wanted to retort, but for some reason, he thought of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, and how Naruto should have had a peaceful life as a prince, but it was ultimately ruined because of the Uchiha clan.
So he felt a little guilty and didn't want to say anything bad about Naruto.
However, he was still incredibly shocked by Kitahara Kaede's strength. Was this really a Kage-level powerhouse?
Even though he and Naruto Uzumaki couldn't defeat this powerful opponent when they joined forces, he couldn't even last a single move against Kitahara Kaede.
He then recalled the video of Kitahara Kaede's diary, in which Kakashi Hatake confronted Orochimaru and even felt that dying together with Orochimaru was just wishful thinking.
Now he finally understands that the difference between a Kage-level expert and a Jonin is truly astounding.
So, being a Jonin can be considered as stepping into the upper echelons of each village, but being a Kage is a different story altogether; even without holding a specific position, they can still have a huge impact.
Following the strong is a ninja's nature; only by following the strong can they easily survive on the battlefield.
This is beyond doubt.
Whether it was the legendary Sannin of that time or Minato Namikaze who rose to prominence later, it was the same.
When you reach a certain level of competence, many people will naturally gravitate towards you.
A Kage-level ninja is a powerful figure who would be the village's leader in any ninja village, and would be a super strongman.
The reason why Kage-level powerhouses have such influence is that their strength is significantly superior to that of Jonin-level powerhouses.
If I want to revive the Uchiha clan, I need to have at least Kage-level strength.
In fact, the Uchiha clan already has Kage-level powerhouses, and more than one. It's just a pity that Itachi Uchiha is a traitor and is being hunted down, and Kenji Uchiha is the mastermind behind all of this.
Another person, Kitahara Kaede, although also of Uchiha blood, had absolutely no interest in changing his surname to Uchiha.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
However, Sasuke Uchiha was also thinking about the differences between the Lightning Breathing technique that Kitahara Kaede had just used and his own. It was obvious that his was much more powerful.
Ignoring the sentiments of the others, Kitahara Kaede approached Fuuka Koyuki and, as agreed beforehand, said, "Ms. Fujikaze Yukie, today's attack has clearly exceeded the scope of our previously agreed-upon B-rank mission. This matter needs to be reported to the village for handling."
Upon hearing this, Kazeka Koyuki quickly said, "I, Fujikaze Yukie, no, I, Kazeka Koyuki, as the princess of the Land of Snow, now formally issue a commission to Konoha Village, changing the original guard mission to assist me in restoring my country. This is an S-rank mission. Once this mission is completed, I will send an envoy to Konoha to explain everything."
Kitahara Kaede blinked. Fuuka Koyuki truly lived up to her reputation as an actress; her performance was flawless.
Kitahara Kaede naturally accepted this new mission. There was no difficulty in completing the mission; all he had to do was defeat Kazehana Nutō.
After this incident, the crew lost interest in continuing filming and rested on the boat.
After admiring the sea view from the bow of the ship for a while, Kitahara Kaede returned to her private room on the ship, took out her diary, and began preparing her diary entries for the day.
After seeing so many seascapes, I suddenly thought of the frogs in the well eventually scattering into the sea. When Jiraiya said this, what kind of feelings did he have?
For ninjas, how they live is not important; how they die is what matters most. The value of a ninja's life is not determined by how they live, but by what they do before they die.
Perhaps this is a kind of carefree spirit unique to Jiraiya.
