Naruto: I Survived Two Wars Without You, System!

"System, copy Onoki's red skill listing [Dust Release Heir]."

Kei Yamanaka cast one final glance at the unconscious Onoki before walking away. From afar, he copied the Dust Release ability.

Explicitly documented in official records as the sole known Kekkei Tota.

There was no doubt about the destructive power of Dust Release.

As long as it was performed using Sage Chakra, even members of the Otsutsuki Clan would hesitate to withstand directly a Sage Art Dust Release capable of reducing anything into atomic particles.

Of course, he copied this skill listing not just for its immense power.

He also valued its Wind and Fire Chakra Nature Transformations.

In the Narutoverse, the ultimate power was Kekkei Mora, formed by fusing all seven Chakra Nature Transformations.

Kaguya's son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, had been categorized under Kekkei Mora in the databooks.

In other words,

That Rinnegan-Sharingan hybrid eye was itself a form of Kekkei Mora!

Techniques like Amenominaka, Otsutsuki Teleportation, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, and Rabbit Hair Needle were specific manifestations of that inherited ability.

Among the remaining Otsutsuki Clan members besides Kaguya,

Only Pu, who could freely switch between Byakugan, six-tomoe red Rinnegan, and blue Rinnegan, along with Kaguya's son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, possessed Kekkei Mora.

Even Tao and Isshiki Otsutsuki, who also bore Rinnegan, were merely categorized under Kekkei Genkai in the databooks!

Kei wasn't someone who only recognized the Rinnegan.

With prior knowledge,

He naturally opted for the most advantageous conditions!

Complete mastery over all seven Chakra Nature Transformations, fused through System Ability into Kekkei Mora, combined with his innate Sage Arts!

Awakening his ultimate eye power!

The golden skill listing [Yin-Yang Sage Ascendant] dramatically boosted his command over Yin-Yang Release, while the red skill listing [Wood Release Jinchuriki] greatly improved his mastery over Earth and Water natures.

For the remaining three elements—Wind, Fire, and Lightning—

No matter how he calculated, he would require two additional copies.

So naturally, the first choice was Dust Release, which combined Wind, Fire, and Earth natures.

[Skill Listing successfully copied! Congratulations, Host, you've obtained the red skill listing 'Dust Release Heir'.]

Upon hearing the system's voice notification, Kei refrained from activating the skill right away.

Instead, he turned around to look at Jiraiya approaching him.

"Why do you look so deep in thought?"

"Perhaps it's because I suddenly feel like something I've chased for years is finally within my grasp."

Jiraiya stood hands on waist, watching the retreating teams from Iwagakure and Sunagakure, his expression curiously complex.

"Don't tell me you're saying the Child of the Prophecy you're looking for is actually me. I'm definitely not some blue-eyed youth or your apprentice."

"A prophecy? Haha! What I've pursued all along has always been the possibility toward lasting peace. Even if that possibility is so slim others call it a miracle!"

"So now you're seeing that miracle?"

Kei chuckled lightly.

Carefree, relaxed, and indifferent to minor concerns, yet unwavering in his beliefs.

Though admittedly lecherous.

But even so, Jiraiya truly was a charming man!

"I saw it! Never this clearly before! Hahaha~"

Jiraiya laughed heartily, as though a thousand-pound weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

The Iwagakure ninja, led by Onoki and Kitsuchi, had clearly already accepted Kei Yamanaka's proposal.

That guy Fuki earlier had seemed indecisive enough, but with Iwagakure on board, the Sunagakure leadership would have no choice but to reluctantly go along with the inevitable course of events.

Surely they didn't expect Sunagakure—already one of the weakest among the Five Great Ninja Villages—to take on two villages alone?

"What say we pay Sunagakure a visit in a few days?"

Kei raised an eyebrow and extended the invitation to Jiraiya.

He didn't know much about that Suna official, Fuki, who only appeared briefly in the original storyline and had even tried to assassinate the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara.

But he did know Chiyo.

A mother hell-bent on revenge for her son's death!

Unless she felt completely hopeless, she'd most likely show up during the talks to stir things up.

He wasn't one to sit back and let enemies unleash their signature jutsu first.

Since he could sense the warning signs, wouldn't it be better to crush them before they spread?

"...Just the two of us?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin, instantly figuring out what Kei had in mind.

Still, as powerful as Wood Release was...

if the two of them went alone and got surrounded...

"How about I just bring along Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Kushina? Then you can summon all those massive beasts from the three great summoning lands too?"

Kei gave an annoyed eye roll.

It was just Sunagakure. How many top-tier shinobi could they possibly field at this point?

Was there really any reason to look so worried?

"Brilliant idea! Sunagakure won't dare twitch a finger when we show up, hahaha~"

Jiraiya threw back his head and roared with laughter.

He instinctively figured Kei was messing with him.

"Hmm... That makes sense."

Kei pondered for a moment and gave a slight nod.

After all, his reputation in the ninja world wasn't well known yet. Unless he made a dramatic entrance with Sage Art: Wood Release and caused some major destruction, how could he truly intimidate those Sand ninja who had never seen him before?

Whether it was Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, or even Madara Uchiha...

Each of them had carved out their own prestige through brute strength.

Let Hashirama summon the Daibutsu, and Madara unleash Full Form Susano'o.

As for Tobirama...

Nah, better not invite him. Madara-sama might get annoyed otherwise.

If the Three Sannin showed up with their massive summoned beasts, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki unleashed the Nine-Tails,

while Kei stationed the Four Vajras right at Sunagakure's gates,

on that day, Sunagakure would relive the terror of being dominated by those people...

...and the shame of being trapped like caged birds.

Kukuku~

Even if Chiyo soaked her brains in a swamp gas tank, she'd still know the right call to make!

"C'mon, you're kidding, right? Your technique only borrows ancestral powers, right? You can't literally drag them here for real, can you?"

Seeing Kei's increasingly unnerving look, Jiraiya gulped hard.

"You didn't say we had to use your jutsu! The Second's techniques are just fine."

"...You mean?"

"[Impure World Reincarnation], of course. Orochimaru has been studying it recently, and his progress has been pretty good."

"Wouldn't it be rude to disturb our predecessors like this?"

"The First once told me to bring him out for a walk more often whenever I have time. How is this considered disturbing? Besides, I'm summoning them for lasting peace for the ninja world. Isn't that also the dream of the First and Madara Uchiha? I'm simply giving them a chance to fulfill their dream."

"Count me in, absolutely!"

With a sharp motion, Jiraiya bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

Oh cripes~

How could someone like him be left out of a moment like this — the great sage and frog oracle Gamatengu Jiraiya from Mount Myoboku!

"Don't worry, don't worry, you won't be left out for sure!"

Kei Yamanaka couldn't help but laugh.

After a pause, he suddenly recalled again Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, whom he'd left behind at the old hideout in Amegakure.

His laughter came to a sudden halt as he moved closer and whispered into Jiraiya's ear,

"Do you still remember the three apprentices you took at Amegakure?"

"How could I possibly forget something like that! Haha~ Have you met them already? How have they been lately?"

"I did meet them, although only briefly. As for recently? Probably eaten so much seafood they're practically vomiting?"

"That sounds like they're living pretty well! I haven't tasted any seafood in ages myself."

"Right. When you see them later, you can say something comforting."

"??? "

Jiraiya stared at Kei Yamanaka with a huge question mark above his head.

What does that mean?

When you see them later?

Comfort them?
