Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 118: Reactions of All Parties

Soon, the results of Konoha's two battles against Kumogakure and Iwagakure spread throughout the world.

Yuta's name completely resounded across the land.

Capturing the perfect Jinchūriki, Killer Bee!

Killing the Fourth Raikage!

With the power of Eight Tails, he single-handedly wiped out Kumogakure's elite army!

Then, he took Eight Tails into Kumogakure. With one Tailed Beast Bomb, he reduced the Raikage building to rubble!

After that, he went alone to attack Kusagakure, sinking the entire island where Hozuki Castle was located!

The Kusagakure ninjas sent to stop him were completely annihilated!

But the most terrifying display of power was yet to come!

With absolute dominance, he crushed the 5,000-strong Iwagakure army led by the Third Tsuchikage Onoki!

The Iwagakure army was utterly defeated and fled in terror!

Only about a thousand managed to escape back to Iwagakure. And even those survivors were mostly injured.

The Iwa ninjas who escaped knew the truth better than anyone.

If Yuta had wanted to kill them all, he absolutely could have done so.

And he hadn't even used the Eight Tails in that battle.

After defeating the Iwagakure army, Yuta simply chased them for fun like herding a pack of fleeing sheep.

Yet, even then, thousands more died during the retreat.

How could a giant that was more than hundreds of metres fly?!

A single swing of its blade could slice through a mountain!

The Susanoo soared through the sky, but it didn't even hunt them seriously.

It just sliced here and there but thousands of Iwa ninjas still perished.

If Yuta was truly keen on their destruction, not a single one of them could have escaped.

Inside Sunagakure

Fourth Kazekage Rasa shuddered as he read the battle reports.

He suddenly became glad that he had hesitated to launch a war against Konoha.

When Kumogakure and Iwagakure had first invaded of the Land of Fire, Rasa had briefly considered taking advantage of the chaos.

According to his original plan, Sunagakure would wait and watch.

If Konoha began to crumble, Sunagakure could swoop in and seize a portion of the Land of Fire's land.

The Land of Wind was poor. The Land of Fire, however, was rich beyond belief.

But now?

Looking at the results of the war, he realized that his decision to stay put was unquestionably correct.

If Sunagakure had suffered the same fate as Kumogakure and Iwagakure, it would have been their end.

Their country was already struggling and the Daimyo barely funded them.

The village was getting poorer by the day, and their forces were dwindling compared to the other Great Villages.

If thousands of ninjas had died in this war, Sunagakure might have been reduced to a second-rate village, like Kusagakure or Amegakure.

"Yuta..."

Rasa muttered the name in awe as he stared at the reports.

"What a terrifying monster!"

This war had been won almost entirely by him alone.

It was like a legend from the days of the First Hokage and Madara.

Having someone like that in Konoha was an absolute nightmare for Sunagakure.

'It's a pity that Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead.' Rasa thought with some regret.

If Hiruzen and Danzo had still been alive, Yuta might have been eliminated in Konoha's own political conflicts.

Just like Konoha's White Fang, who had been crushed by his own village.

...

"Tsunade-sama, there's another letter from Jiraiya-sama."

Shizune said, handing a scroll to Tsunade as she walked out of the casino.

Shizune sighed.

Before entering, Tsunade had been carrying a suitcase full of money.

But now?

Forget the money!

Even the suitcase was gone too.

Tsunade probably owed even more than before.

"Another letter? So annoying!" Tsunade groaned, opening the scroll impatiently.

As expected, Jiraiya first reported about the war, then just like in his previous letters, he begged her to return and become the Hokage.

Tsunade barely paid attention to Jiraiya's pleas.

Hokage?

Why would she bother?

It was a thankless job.

If Jiraiya cared so much, why didn't he do it?!

He had time to sneak around doing 'research' for his books, but when Konoha actually needed a Hokage, suddenly it was her responsibility?!

But as she continued reading, her expression slightly changed.

Jiraiya had written about how Yuta was considering abolishing the Hokage position altogether.

Tsunade didn't care who would become the Hokage.

But the Hokage itself was her grandfather's legacy. And she wasn't going to let it disappear so easily.

"Ugh... such a hassle!"

She scratched her pale blonde hair in frustration.

"Shizune, pack up. We're heading back to the village."

She was in deep debt anyway so she might as well lay low in Konoha for a while.

Kirigakure

Inside the Mizukage's Office

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura sat alone in his office as he had dismissed his guards.

This was, of course, Obito's doing.

Under his genjutsu's control, Yagura had been isolated.

If too many people interacted with him, someone might notice that something was off.

"Complete body Susanoo?"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Obito muttered in disbelief as he read the reports.

"Yes. A complete body Susanoo." Black Zetsu confirmed.

He hadn't witnessed the battle himself, but White Zetsu had gathered intelligence from around the battlefield.

According to the reports, Yuta's Susanoo had legs, wings on its back, and no weaknesses beneath its feet.

There was no doubt about it. This was definitely a complete body Susanoo.

"Impossible!"

Obito scoffed, "Yuta shouldn't even have an Eternal Mangekyō, let alone a complete body Susanoo!"

Obito knew the process of unlocking the Eternal Mangekyō.

For an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan to evolve, one would have to transplant the Mangekyō of a blood relative.

That was why he paid such close attention to Itachi. It was because Itachi had a younger brother, Sasuke.

But Yuta?

He had no brother to transplant a Mangekyo from.

And even if he had somehow obtained an Eternal Mangekyō, that alone wouldn't be enough.

To manifest the complete body Susanoo, one needs to train their pupil power to its absolute limit and possess an enormous chakra reserve.

Even Madara himself had only unlocked it after years of refinement.

Yet Yuta had already mastered it?

"I don't know how he did it,"

Black Zetsu admitted, "Maybe he has a unique Mangekyō pupil technique that enhances the Susanoo?"

Obito scowled beneath his mask.

Mangekyō pupil techniques were unpredictable. Even his own Kamui was incredibly rare and powerful.

Could Yuta have unlocked an ability that strengthened his Susanoo?

Even if that were true, it still didn't explain one thing.

How was Yuta using the Mangekyō without any signs of blindness?

When Madara was young, he nearly went blind before unlocking his Eternal Mangekyō.

If even he couldn't escape that fate, how could Yuta do it?

Obito clenched his fists.

"Ordinary Mangekyō leads to blindness. The only solutions are the Eternal Mangekyō or transplanting First Hokage's cells. There's no other way, right?"

"Correct." Black Zetsu confirmed without hesitation.

Obito fell silent, falling deep in thought.

Then, he spoke, "Tell Nagato to send someone after him. I want to know what kind of pupil technique he has."

He had to find out how Yuta had achieved this.

Because as things stood, Obito didn't even dare to face him directly.

Yuta knew about Kamui and he could use complete body Susanoo.

If they fought, Obito would be forced to rely on Kamui's intangibility and Izanagi just to survive.

His hands trembled in frustration.

"I should have killed him when I had the chance!"

In the past, Obito had tried to use the Susanoo but because of only having one eye, he had been unable to use it.

He couldn't even use the Susanoo but Yuta could already use the complete body Susanoo!

Damn it!
