"Wait, my mission has changed—"
"What happened? Mine changed too."
What does this 'escape' mean?
……
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi decided to abandon his plan to use "Super Shinra Tensei" to plow through the land again, and instead chose a simpler and more convenient method—raising his fist.
Information edit: The concept of fission has been introduced.
Nuclear fusion punch, 50 million tons of equivalent.
The intense heat instantly annihilated all exposed matter within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, followed by ubiquitous destructive radiation. The shockwave, carrying material dust, swept all the way to the edge of the Land of Fire, and the dust that accumulated in the sky would bring a three-month-long "nuclear winter" to this land.
Bathed in the intense radiation of the world's first-ever blooming of the "dream of technological progress," Lin Yi finally stopped, satisfied: "Now that's a bit more painful."
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 633 The Land of Fire Nuclear Explosion Incident (Part 2)
Even if they wanted to cover up the incident in the Land of Fire, they couldn't make a story about it.
A mushroom cloud shooting straight into the sky, nuclear radiation with endless consequences, and nuclear dust spreading continuously to neighboring countries... Imagine taking the nuclear bomb known as "Tsar" that was once detonated on Earth and detonating it in the heart of Konoha in another world, and this is the scene that people are seeing.
For the first time, faced with such weapons that could destroy a country and exterminate its people, the daimyo, who were the behind-the-scenes supporters and controllers of the ninjas, could no longer stand still. Not only the Land of Fire, but also the surrounding Lands of Earth, Wind, and Lightning mobilized all their forces to investigate the relevant information.
Caught between the great powers, countries like the Land of Rice Fields (a small country where Orochimaru founded the Sound Village) were particularly unfortunate. The monsoon winds blowing from south to north carried nuclear dust to this small country, which was less than one-twentieth the size of the Land of Fire. Compared to the Land of Fire, this small country experienced what "annihilation" meant much earlier.
It was precisely the desolate scene unfolding within the Land of Rice Fields that prompted the three major powers outside the Land of Rain, which was less affected by the sea, to immediately unite and launch a forceful military intervention against the already preoccupied Land of Fire under the pretext of investigating the "development of large-scale destructive ninjutsu".
The first to be affected were naturally the ninjas. The daimyo of various countries, who once regarded these ninjas as useful and sharp weapons, began to distrust the ninjas within their borders after receiving some of the "truth" about the disaster that had occurred in the Land of Fire. Since the Land of Fire was able to produce "ninjutsu" that was not only terrifyingly destructive but also had even more severe aftereffects, who could guarantee that the ninjas within their borders would not come into contact with and learn this "ninjutsu"?
If one day someone gets angry and uses such a "ninjutsu" in the country, how can the daimyo's family and status continue to be maintained?
Any status or position is based on the power held by both parties, and now, this unheard-of "ninjutsu" clearly has the potential to reverse status and position.
If people from the 21st century in World Zero were to look at this, they might see in these daimyo's reactions to "forbidden ninjutsu" a bit the same as the attitude of the world's superpowers when they first saw a nuclear bomb.
In order to protect their lives, property, and family status, the daimyo of various countries, after learning a certain amount of information, rushed their ninjas to the Land of Fire like they were dealing with a plague. Some of the most famous and powerful ninjas were even given the death order: "If you don't complete the mission, you'll die there." They did everything they could to protect their status, even threatening to cut off resources from their respective ninja villages.
It's important to understand that ninjas are not engaged in productive labor. They usually rely on accepting missions from daimyo to earn money and purchase resources such as food. If this channel were cut off, at least half of the ninjas who had not yet grown up would starve to death, along with the general population.
Thus, the threatened ninjas, harboring resentment towards the daimyo and the ninjas within the Land of Fire who were disrupting the "rules of the game," set foot in what was once the most prosperous nation in the center.
Only by confronting this horror can they understand what they are facing.
On their first day of transiting through the Land of Fire, the ninjas from the Land of Lightning, who came from the north, noticed the continuous gloom overhead.
"...According to intelligence gathered by the ANBU ninjas hiding in the Land of Fire, these clouds are not composed of ordinary water vapor, but are a mixture of a large amount of dust and water vapor condensed together, and contain a large amount of substances that those 'outsiders' call radiation, which is extremely destructive to both the human body and the natural environment."
"Many people in the Land of Fire have been affected by this. The basic symptoms are hair loss and skin ulceration. Many people who cannot bear this pain have committed suicide."
Upon hearing the report from the Anbu, the current Fourth Raikage, Yotsuki Aoi, clenched his fists tightly. Even though they were on opposing sides, witnessing the desolate state of the Land of Fire inevitably evoked feelings of shared sorrow, especially given the fact that no news had come from the Leaf Village ninjas since…
Shaking off these anxieties, Yoruzuki asked, "What about the impact on the Land of Lightning?"
The ninja from the Anbu bowed his head and said, "The impact may be greater than expected. Due to the influence of the monsoon, the 'radiation cloud' mentioned by the people of those foreign lands is approaching the Land of Lightning in large numbers. The Land of Rice was completely covered three days ago and is currently trying to seek support from other major powers. Based on the situation faced by the Land of Rice, we can estimate what the Land of Lightning will encounter next."
They handed the scroll to Ye Yue'ai, and the Anbu awaited orders.
After reading the scroll, the Fourth Raikage's brows furrowed deeply: "How long will it take to dissipate?"
"The shortest period is one month, and the longest is three months."
Looking up at the endless gloom in the sky, and thinking about the possibility of having to stay in this environment for three whole months, Yoruzuki Ai's already less-than-ideal mood became even more irritable: "Get to Konoha as soon as possible. They have to give the Land of Lightning an explanation for what happened!"
"Yes!"
The same thing happened in the northwest and west of the Land of Fire. Although the impact was not as severe as that of the Land of Lightning, the neighboring Land of Earth and the Land of Wind were still affected to some extent. The most intolerable thing for them was that the ninjas were being secretly targeted and guarded against by the Daimyo. They immediately led their respective Kage, along with a large number of elite ninjas who had been "exiled," to head towards Konoha Village.
Five days later, thanks to the ninjas' great endurance and stamina, the first group of ninjas who traveled day and night to the Land of Earth arrived at the former site of Konoha Village.
Using the power of chakra and ninjutsu, he continuously increased his height, and everything that came into view was unbelievable to the Tsuchikage.
"Konoha, how could this be..."
Looking at the map in his hand again and again, the occasional glimpses of wreckage at the edge of his vision became further evidence. All of this undoubtedly proved that the "basin" below, radiating a glassy luster, was the location of Konoha Village.
No matter how absurd all of this was, he had to admit and accept that Konoha, which had dominated all ninjas and ninja villages, had become history.
He had fantasized more than once about defeating the Tsuchikage of this powerful ninja village, but unexpectedly found that he felt no joy, but rather unease.
"Where should the ninja go next?"
Unlike the slow-witted natives, the information about what happened to Orochimaru and what happened to Konoha was transmitted to every transmigrator in less than half an hour after the incident, and no one doubted it, because the source of this information could not possibly deceive them.
Side Quest: Back on Track
P.S.: Fourth update
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 634 The Land of Fire Nuclear Explosion Incident (Part 2)
Side Quest: Back on Track
Instructions: Prevent the plot from spiraling out of control and bring it back on track.
Rewards: Determined based on contribution level
Duration: Until the plot completely goes out of control and cannot be reversed.
Failure penalty: None
It has to be said that the fact that the God of the Main God issued a mission to the transmigrators in a certain world for the "first time" did not make them feel informed, but rather more afraid. They had encountered the God of the Main God Space, reincarnators, and missions that meant certain death quite often. Being half-dead and serving as a mission and exchange platform was one thing, but if the "God of the Main God Space" really returned to normal, the first ones to run away would be these transmigrators who valued their lives. At that time, who would care about the original inhabitants and the plot?
Fortunately, they did not encounter such a terrifying situation. The "God" seemed to have at least reacted to the plot of this world going out of control, giving the transmigrators a task and then letting them act on their own without interfering.
"In my opinion, it must be that the senior figure made too much of a commotion in this world, which made the 'God' unable to stand it anymore, so he issued this mission."
"That's what I think too. Otherwise, why didn't the 'main god' react when Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and Kaguya Otsutsuki mysteriously disappeared? Now everyone is on a mission."
"Speaking of which, this veteran is really ruthless. Although he can get a lot of reward points, after deducting the part for killing the righteous characters in the story, it is probably less than tens of thousands of points. For those tens of thousands of points, he directly turned Konoha into a basin. Anyway, I can't understand the thinking of those big shots."
"If they could really understand, there wouldn't be so many newbies who died without even knowing how they died. You know, back then there were more than 5,000 newbies hanging around in the newbie village, and they never expected that a nuclear bomb would fall on their heads, and it was the 'Tsar' level one at that."
Unlike the natives who had no idea about the concept of "nuclear fission," the transmigrators associated the mushroom cloud with "nuclear bombs" almost instantly. With the subsequent chain reaction of strong light, radiation, high temperature, and shock, any transmigrator with basic common sense could figure out what the culprit was that caused Konoha Village to be reduced to ashes.
Of course, newbies who have not yet come into contact with the "Nuclear Fusion Fist" system still optimistically believe that it is a "Tsar Bomba" brought to this world by a veteran at a huge cost, a weapon of mass destruction that can only be used once.
Even with this understanding, they dared not act rashly.
After all, in a world where power can be directly exchanged from the "Main God Space," reward points are largely equivalent to strength. Winning by spending money is no longer just talk; it's something that happens all the time. Since this veteran was able to spend a huge amount of money to exchange for a Tsar nuclear bomb and drop it on Konoha, his reward points would definitely crush everyone present. Even if all the transmigrators in the entire Naruto world were combined, they might not have half of his assets. Is it possible to just rush up to him and tell him not to cause trouble?
There are indeed some incredibly adorable newbies, but before they could even try to "act cute" to the experienced veteran, they were quickly defeated by the other transmigrators around them—if they angered the veteran, they could be hit on the head with a small-yield nuclear bomb, something they couldn't withstand.
It's a small matter to court death, but it's a big deal to endanger others.
With this in mind, the transmigrators are currently in the intelligence-gathering stage. Compared to the natives, they are not in a hurry. After all, the worst-case scenario is leaving this story world. There is no need to compete with a veteran of the "pay-to-win" item-based game for reward points. Even if they win, doing so would only result in a loss of 800 points for themselves and a thousand points for the enemy. They are unlikely to take any action before they have sufficient benefits.
Of course, because of this "veteran's" actions, not only the natives but also the transmigrators have all turned their attention to the Land of Fire, and naturally no one will continue to pay attention to the missing Uchiha Obito.
Three hours later, the transmigrators, whose stealth and intelligence-gathering abilities had been enhanced, brought the latest news from the vicinity of the Konoha Village ruins.
"The ninja from Iwagakure in the Land of Earth have arrived in Konoha. They have found the protagonist's team on the edge of the heavily irradiated area and are currently searching for other survivors."
"Speaking of which, Naruto is truly destined to be the protagonist. He just happened to be the one who accepted the mission and dodged this terrifying nuclear explosion."
"Maybe the veteran deliberately waited for Naruto to leave before dropping the nuclear bomb. Otherwise, killing the main character would cost too many points, and his abilities would be weakened..."
"Idiot, he's a 'pay-to-win' player. He has a lot of points, but not many other things. As long as he has points, he has everything. What's there to be afraid of if his abilities are weakened?"
"Who are you calling an idiot?!"
"saying you!"
……
Several transmigrators, frustrated by the disappearance of Konoha Village and the interruption of their mission, started fighting and were quickly separated.
"If you want to fight, go ahead and fight outside. But if you expose our location and cause our next operation to fail, don't blame me for being impolite."
The deterrent effect on the city-level "strongmen" was quite effective. At least two transmigrators who had just barely reached the army level had already controlled their emotions and stopped causing trouble.
Having realized how difficult it is to lead a disorganized group, the transmigrator reorganized his thoughts and said, "We have two choices now. The first is to stay in the strong radiation and return to the old site of Konoha Village to leave this world. However, we will have to spend a considerable amount of money to clean the radiation we are carrying. Of course, those who are still here with me should have chosen the second option, which is to complete the 'back on track' side quest given by the main god."
No one objected.
“Very good. After discussing with several other transmigrators, there are quite a few ways to complete this task, but only two are truly feasible. The first is for us transmigrators to take the initiative and use our own strength to ‘persuade’ that veteran.”
At this point, as expected, he saw the newcomers' hesitant looks: "--Of course, that's impossible. No one can guarantee his stance. If he's just throwing away that Tsar Bomba for a few tens of thousands of points, that's fine. At most, it's just paying a small price. But if this veteran is completing a large-scale chain mission that requires the destruction of Konoha, then our rash actions may provoke his hostility. No one can guarantee that he only has one nuclear bomb, so we abandon this method."
"The second reason, although the process will be much more complicated, can at least guarantee our own safety."
Holding a map of the Naruto world, the transmigrator said, "Gentlemen, let's start the Fourth Shinobi World War ahead of schedule."
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 635 The Art of Spirit Communication
The actions of the transmigrators are easy to understand. If they can't win a fight themselves, they'll have characters from the story take their place. With their absolute advantage in intelligence, they can make the natives act according to their wishes with minimal cost. For example, they can tell Sasuke and Itachi about their plans, or provide Orochimaru with other degraded versions of the Sharingan. These simple actions can be exchanged for considerable rewards. However, in the past, no transmigrator dared to do so because it would cause the plot to go out of control.
But things are different now. The plot has been completely thrown into chaos by a nuclear bomb dropped by the "veteran". Rather than letting things remain deadlocked, it would be better to take the initiative and guide the characters back to the general "plot". Although losing Konoha Village will introduce many variables, the "Ninja World War" plot can still proceed as usual – the ninjas from the other four countries are there.
As for Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, who were originally the villains of the Fourth Shinobi World War, they have disappeared.
Can't you see the "ultimate BOSS" wielding a nuclear warhead right in front of you? If you can defeat him, it will be a great victory for the ninjas. Otherwise, they should just go to bed and relax.
After determining the basic strategy, the transmigrators split up and took action. Some went to contact the ninjas of the Land of Lightning, some were in charge of the ninjas of the Land of Earth, and others went to the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, which had been observing without getting involved. These were all the transmigrators' targets.
While these transmigrators were making their move, they obviously didn't expect to escape Lin Yi's gaze. In front of the "item-based" and "pay-to-win" players, any disguise was destined to be meaningless. Rather than wasting time on something that would lead nowhere, it would be more satisfying to grab a few more unsuspecting native cannon fodder before it was all over. Presumably, this "pay-to-win" transmigrator didn't have the leisure to hunt down transmigrators one by one.
In a sense, they were on opposite sides, but just because Lin Yi wouldn't do something himself doesn't mean he wouldn't have someone else do it.
Having prematurely ended his "personal storyline" thanks to the power of the Rinnegan, Uchiha Sasuke, now in a state of detachment and indifference towards this world, unexpectedly discovers the transmigrators' plot to instigate the Fourth Shinobi World War. This matter was originally unrelated to him, but the "price" Lin Yi paid for giving him the Rinnegan surfaced in his mind—
"For the sake of world peace, choose between stopping or dying."
Faced with Sasuke's outburst of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), the transmigrators immediately engaged in a fierce battle, only to be thoroughly dealt with by the Rinnegan. Before dying, Sasuke passed on a message to the other transmigrators.
One of the reasons why Uchiha Sasuke's plot seems to have gone awry.
Following the big news caused by Lin Yi, the "veteran," the combat power of the "second male lead," who was originally second only to Naruto Uzumaki, the "male lead," which was inconsistent with the original plot, also attracted the attention of many transmigrators. From then on, Lin Yi perfectly completed the task that Obito Uchiha wanted to take the transmigrators' attention away from him.
The next step, naturally, is to deal with these "eyes" cleanly.
For a while afterward, the time travelers found that their lives did not improve as the number of instigated ninjas increased.
Sasuke Uchiha, who obtained the Rinnegan, the Akatsuki organization trained to become the "Six Paths of Pain," and the occasional mercenaries from another world (members of the Armed Detective Agency and other imaginary organizations, considered to be a legion brought in at great cost by veterans of the "pay-to-win" style, although this view is not wrong). The first two were alright, as they spent a lot of energy preventing the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War while dealing with the transmigrators—inevitably confronting the ninjas of the remaining four great nations. The latter, however, completely ignored the characters in the story and just kept focusing on attacking these transmigrators.
As a result, in less than a month, the transmigrators suffered heavy casualties, forcing the "Fourth Shinobi World War" to be started ahead of schedule.
When Naruto Uzumaki learns from some "channel" that Sasuke Uchiha is connected to the culprit behind the destruction of Konoha, and even obtains the truth about the Rinnegan power from the culprit.
However, Sasuke Uchiha learned that Naruto Uzumaki, like his past self, was bound by the hatred of Konoha's destruction and did everything he could to bring about the "Fourth Shinobi World War".
One day, their chance encounter set the stage for a major battle.
What was Lin Yi doing at this moment?
Unlike the transmigrators' imagination of using a large number of reward points to "recruit troops" from the Main God Space to actively prepare for war, and unlike the dark scene imagined by the natives of secretly manipulating the politics of major countries in an attempt to end the history of ninjas, Lin Yi was just conducting an experiment.
An experiment built on the "loopholes" in the rules of this world.
The art of mediumship.
Summoning techniques are a special type of ninjutsu, belonging to the category of space-time ninjutsu. Essentially, they involve summoning creatures to assist the ninja in battle, making them a very practical and unique combat-type ninjutsu.
Spiritual communication is mainly divided into two types: blood-based spiritual communication and non-blood-based spiritual communication.
The former involves the caster establishing a blood pact with any living being, then summoning it using ninjutsu when needed—a type of space-time ninjutsu. In other words, the summoned creature actually lives in the real world, and the purpose of summoning jutsu is to bring it from afar to one's side.
However, after scanning the entire Naruto world more than ten times with his mind, Lin Yi still couldn't find any space where these summoned creatures lived. Instead, he found quite a few places like the "edge of the world" where he couldn't explore any further or he would be transferred back to the central area.
Because of the precedents of "A Certain Magical Index" and "One-Punch Man", Lin Yi quickly determined that this was a loophole in the rules.
Just like Academy City, where there are no demon gods but there are legends about them, and the One-Punch Man world, which has no concept of faster-than-light speed but no actual faster-than-light speed, this "fragment"-created Naruto world also has similar rule loopholes and logical errors, namely "a world where there are no summoning beasts and a space where summoning beasts live".
Given the unique nature of this vulnerability, Lin Yi had a bold idea.
The wrist was severed, and the blood, which was simulated by the information entity, spilled onto the ground. The "channel" leading deep into the body was carefully opened, and soon a definite feedback was transmitted.
--Can.
"So, that means I have my own summoned creatures now?"
Lin Yi smiled as he sensed the "creature" he had connected with that was outside the closed system.
