Izayoi had no idea that his actions had inspired Zabuza Momochi, leading him to find a different path as a rogue ninja.
After obtaining the materials for creating Human Puppets and Chakra Cores, Izayoi did not immediately return to Konoha.
During this time, every three days, he would create a Shadow Clone with a massive amount of Chakra and return to the village to switch shifts with the Shadow Clone that was about to automatically dispel.
Apart from Hinata and Hanabi, no one in the village knew that Izayoi was just a Shadow Clone.
Having already informed the Hyuga sisters, Izayoi was not in a hurry to return to the village. Instead, he changed his identity and first met up with the Shadow Clone that was collecting Kado's other treasure troves to sort out the gains from this trip.
The result was that Kado's assets were simply uncountable.
The most valuable of Kado's assets were not banknotes, gold bars, or jewelry, but the land deeds.
The land deeds that Kado could hide were naturally not trash.
These land deeds were all for houses or shops in prosperous areas of various countries.
Just selling a few land deeds earned Izayoi more money than several Asuma Sarutobis.
After becoming thoroughly wealthy, Izayoi immediately found a villa that Kado had purchased in the Land of Fire based on the land deeds. Then, in the city where the villa was located, he bought a clothing store, leaving a Shadow Clone to learn from the tailors and designers inside.
The main body did not return to Konoha, but instead took two empty large Storage Scrolls and left the Land of Fire, entering the Land of Rivers.
Rumble...
Above a certain mountain village, dark clouds were gathering, and muffled thunder was rolling.
Before long, the sky began to drizzle.
Even so, in a mine outside the village, villagers with bare upper bodies were still pulling carts of minerals out, and the sound of mining could be heard inside.
In an open space not far from the mine, a large number of tombstones stood.
Even now, several people wearing black raincoats were gathered around a coffin that had just been placed in a pit, holding a funeral for the person inside the coffin.
"Ah... why would someone as good as you die! It really breaks my heart, it really breaks my heart!"
The person leading the wailing was making exaggerated gestures, revealing genuine emotion.
However, none of the surrounding people felt sad; their eyes only showed fear of the person leading.
In their eyes, this clan leader was simply an unpredictable fellow.
At the slightest disagreement, he would hold a funeral for someone!
"Raiga, there's a very strong Chakra approaching this way."
Just as the person leading was performing to his heart's content, a childish voice suddenly sounded from inside the raincoat that was bulging behind him, his tone sounding somewhat panicked: "Be careful, that person can fly!"
Hearing this, Black Hoe Raiga, who was still covering his face and crying, immediately lowered his hands and looked up at the sky with a solemn expression.
In the rain, a black figure descended from the sky.
*"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"*
Before the figure could land and speak, Black Hoe Raiga pulled out his uniquely shaped twin swords, crossed them towards the sky, and Chakra with Lightning Release nature transformation condensed at the tips to form a blue-white ball of light, which shot out violently.
Looking at the Lightning Ball flying towards him, the figure simply stretched out his palm from his sleeve, his five fingers spread open.
Then the Lightning Ball seemed to hit an invisible air wall, exploding with a bang, like fireworks blooming, countless electric arcs flashing and disappearing.
"Indeed, I didn't mistake you. It's you, Black Hoe Raiga, and... the owner of the Kekkei Genkai, Red Eye." Izayoi smiled, "Since the original escaped, I'll just have you two bootlegs become my Human Puppets."
"I'm in a hurry, let's make this quick... Almighty Pull!"
An invisible Attraction, like an unseen giant hand, grabbed Black Hoe Raiga from the ground.
"No hand seals, can't see anything, what kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
Black Hoe Raiga's expression changed drastically, but he wasn't slow to react, crossing his twin swords again, then pouring a large amount of Chakra into the Lightning Blades, converting it all into Lightning Release nature transformation.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Fang!"
The twin swords transformed into lightning, shooting out a series of curved lightning bolts towards Izayoi, like a continuous laser barrage.
This move is Black Hoe Raiga's signature technique, just like Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade.
If the lightning doesn't hit, it will fly into the sky, merge with the dark clouds, and then turn into lightning strikes falling down.
"The move is good, the swords are also good, but... that's all I can praise you for."
Izayoi spread his hands, and a green barrier formed by distorted air due to power accumulation appeared.
"Almighty Push!"
As Izayoi's words fell, the barrier was like a water-filled balloon, reaching its limit and suddenly bursting.
The Repulsion storm contained within instantly dispersed the rain, engulfing Black Hoe Raiga, who had lost the pull of Attraction and was falling downwards, and the Black Hoe Clan who were fleeing below.
Boom————
A deafening explosion echoed throughout the mountain village.
Whether it was the people working in the mine or the residents in the village, they could all hear the explosion.
The nearest mine even felt the entire cave shaking violently.
Fortunately, the cave did not collapse.
When the rain fell again, and the gust of wind dispersed the dust and mist, the cemetery had disappeared, replaced by a huge crater.
The people of the Black Hoe Clan were all dead.
Black Hoe Raiga, who had intimate contact with the earth and endured the Repulsion impact, had broken bones and severe internal bleeding.
However, before being blasted to the ground, Black Hoe Raiga decisively threw away the twin swords in his hand, choosing to protect Ranmaru behind him, so that the latter did not die on the spot, but suffered serious injuries like him.
When Izayoi descended from the sky, Black Hoe Raiga's mouth was full of blood, and he said weakly, "Plea... please, spare... spare Ranmaru."
"Those people you killed probably said the same thing to you, right?"
Izayoi sneered, "You're supposed to be a rogue ninja of Elite Jonin level, why are you talking so childishly?"
After saying that, Izayoi raised his hand and used Attraction to suck the twin swords over, but he did not turn them around to shoot at Black Hoe Raiga and Ranmaru.
Instead, he smiled at Black Hoe Raiga and said, "Help me do an experiment, and show the last bit of value before your death."
Immediately, Izayoi formed a hand seal with one hand, and separated a Shadow Clone with a small amount of Chakra.
Then, both the main body and the Shadow Clone each held a Lightning Blade, channeling Chakra into them and converting it into Lightning Release nature transformation, instantly resembling holding lightning in their hands.
The main body and the Shadow Clone threw the lightning in their hands, piercing through the bodies of Black Hoe Raiga and Ranmaru.
However, the scene Izayoi wanted to see did not appear.
Neither Black Hoe Raiga nor Ranmaru dropped a Perk.
Shadow Clones and killing people don't increase the drop rate. Is there really no other mechanism to increase the drop rate? Izayoi thought to himself, Chakra definitely isn't the standard for measuring strength, otherwise, apart from the Jinchuriki and Naruto, no one would be able to provide me with Perks. So how is strength determined? If it's Perks, then from the age of three, there are only a few people in the Shinobi World who can provide me with Perks. But those classmates in the class dropped Perks, which means it's not based on Perks! Is it based on techniques, or performance?
Looking at the corpses of Black Hoe Raiga and Ranmaru, Izayoi said softly, "I'll try this method one more time. If it doesn't work, I can only be more violent and wrong the Shinobi World a little."
"After all, I have this configuration, how can I let people with worse configurations catch up to my decades of effort in just a few years?"
No one could understand Izayoi's anxiety.
