A series of Fire Release, Earth Release, and Wind ReleaseNinjutsu rapidly altered the terrain.
This hillside in the Land of Grass was completely transformed by the large-scale Ninjutsu.
The smoke cleared.
Where the Rock Ninja investigation team had just been standing, a dozen masked KonohaAnbu reappeared!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face hidden beneath a hood, stood on the still-scorching earth, holding the Enma staff, his expression cold.
"Finish the on-site investigation as quickly as possible, and bring over the few Rock Ninja who are still alive."
At Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, two Anbu members wearing animal masks immediately dragged over two dying Rock Ninja.
"Konoha, so it was you, a sneak attack—"
The previously high-spirited Rock Ninja leader now had only half a broken body left.
One arm and one leg were severely scorched.
"Apply the serum!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even glance at the captive.
He was staring fixedly at a large crater on the hillside.
"Who did the Rock Ninja fight here? How many of you were lost, and how many of the enemy?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's rapid-fire questions made the heavily injured Rock Ninja stare at him strangely.
"You don't even know if Konoha did it, so why did you launch a sneak attack on us?"
Bang! A loud noise.
The giant staff, transformed from Enma, smashed down hard on one Rock Ninja's ankle.
The tendons, bones, and flesh of the Rock Ninja's ankle instantly turned into minced meat with blood splattering everywhere.
With a muffled groan, the Rock Ninja hunched over.
His head, however, was yanked up by an Anbu, and Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to ask, "I ask, you answer. Don't ask unnecessary questions, or I will crush every bone in your body, piece by piece."
The Anbu grabbed the Rock Ninja's hair and began to apply force, pulling the Rock Ninja's face until it was taut.
Intense pain, combined with the stimulating effect of the hallucinogen, made the Rock Ninja's consciousness somewhat blurry.
As if recalling a memory, he slowly recounted the various intelligence the Rock Ninja had obtained.
"We had arranged to meet with the Rain Ninja in the city to discuss ore trade, but we encountered an attack by Hanzou. Some Ninjas who escaped here encountered eight to fifteen enemy pursuers. Based on the evidence collected at the scene, we infer that the Explosion Release Ninja leader fought the pursuers at the end, and they ultimately perished together!"
The Rock Ninja licked his lips with difficulty. "Because a large amount of traces of the Explosion Release Secret Technique were found at the scene, the range of the final self-destruct Ninjutsu covered an area exceeding 175 meters."
"Switch to the other one!" Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the remaining Rock Ninja.
This long-haired Rock Ninja was even more severely injured.
But he seemed to resist the effects of the "truth serum," his mouth full of blood, only cursing with his head lowered.
"Damn Konoha, you ambushed us, the Tsuchikage will not let you off. You will die a horrible death. You want to make us vent our anger on the Rain Ninja? This kind of low-class scheme will not succeed—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly. "Instigating a conflict between two countries, that really sounds like your handiwork."
Seeing that no more information could be extracted, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly dispelled the summoning of Enma, and a giant hand reached out, grabbing the long-haired Rock Ninja by the neck.
"I don't care about Ōnoki. I just want to know, did you kill Danzo Shimura?"
Cough cough!
The Rock Ninja began to cough violently, spitting out a large amount of blood foam.
This Rock Ninja was unexpectedly decisive, swallowing some kind of drug directly!
"Dead?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious. "Secret Technique Interrogation!"
With a toss, the Rock Ninja who had died from poisoning was thrown by Hiruzen Sarutobi into the hands of a brown-haired Ninja.
The brown-haired Ninja pressed both hands onto the brain of the deceased Rock Ninja and directly activated the Yamanaka Secret Technique.
[Memory Extraction Technique]
Hiruzen Sarutobi squatted beside the nearly forty-meter-wide crater, his fingers lightly touching the edge of the pit, his eyes revealing a cold look.
"The edges are too smooth; it looks very much like the [Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing Technique]! It is highly likely to be Danzo's handiwork, but I didn't expect... he actually perished together with the enemy?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gently twisted the rough gravel, the anger rippling in his eyes slowly receding.
"Someone as cautious as you, why would you die here!"
Konoha, Uchiha Compound.
The spacious patriarch's courtyard was filled with people.
Except for the seven sisters sent on missions, all 124 Misaka Sisters of various builds in Konoha were wearing special masks.
They formed the brand new [Sister Legion].
Nearly a hundred White Zetsu had worked hard to build a secret base in Konoha, only to be completely captured by the Misaka Sisters in just five and a half hours.
The excellent record of "not a single one escaped" made Uchiha Fucheng feel incredible.
To reward the two Misaka Sisters with the most outstanding performance, Uchiha Fucheng specially customized two ChakraNinja tools.
As a special grand prize, they were awarded to 0017 and 0009.
The weapon given to 0017 was even engraved with a large character [General].
Since this battle, 0017 was also called [General] by the Misaka Sisters!
Her title was almost as well-known among the sisters as 0007 [Bond Sister], 0018 [Little God of Wealth], and 0015 [Sister Moon].
Now with over three digits of Misaka Network nodes, the most prominent change was in Mikoto herself.
Previously, when there were only twenty or thirty Misaka Sisters, the effect of the increase in Mikoto's Railgun power and electromagnetic wave detection range was not obvious.
With the amplification of the three-digit Misaka Network this time, Mikoto immediately experienced the joy of "full-map damage output."
The power of the small metal steel ball was limited, so she switched directly to a full-steel Kunai!
A thick Kunai was launched as a Railgun!
The attack range could exceed 500 meters.
This was several times the attack range of the previous coins and small steel balls.
The attack effect was even more exaggerated.
The defensive Ninjutsu formed by Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall was pierced through eight layers at once in front of the KunaiRailgun.
This kind of piercing damage with maxed-out attack power was something even Uchiha Fucheng's own Susanoo dared not take head-on.
And the detection capability augmented by the sisters was even more exaggerated.
Three-digit Misaka Sisters activated at full power.
It could allow the electromagnetic wave detection range to form a huge sphere covering Mikoto as the center.
This 60KM diameter spherical detection area was almost comparable to the radar detection range of fourth-generation fighter jets on Earth, or even larger.
However, more Misaka Sisters also brought stronger physical load side effects.
As the main body, if Mikoto mobilized over a hundred Misaka Network nodes at full power, she would likely have a nosebleed immediately, and her brain would overload.
The current optimal solution was to call no more than 40 Misaka Sisters at a time, using nearly 45% of the total network power to enhance Mikoto's abilities.
After Mikoto became familiar with this energy, she would gradually increase the synchronization rate. This would allow her to gradually increase her network invocation efficiency for the Misaka Sisters.
"The invocation of memory and computing power should never be overloaded during normal times. Otherwise, like last time, nosebleeds would be considered light; be careful of frying your brain directly."
Uchiha Fucheng reminded her seriously, "Mikoto, take the sisters to familiarize yourselves with the newly built apartments in the compound. This time I specifically built three large apartments, all customized for the sisters. In the future, all Misaka Sisters will have their own personal accounts and point systems, and their point systems can be linked to Uchiha contribution points."
Uchiha Fucheng's words made the sisters, who had already become familiar with each other, overjoyed.
"Yay!"
Taking advantage of the group of sisters cheering and dancing, several bolder little tricksters mixed in with the cheering sisters, caught Uchiha Fucheng, and kissed him.
