Chapter 417 Spirit Transformation Technique Saves Konoha, Arms Fall from the Sky
"Huh? Why is the spell marking on these explosive tags different from the ones we use?" On the streets of Konoha, Lee, following Neji's instructions, found several explosive tags and scratched his head in confusion.
"Let me see, could it be some kind of super dangerous special version?" Tian Tian couldn't help but step forward and widen her eyes, but even with her extensive knowledge, she still couldn't find anything.
"I've never seen this kind of explosive tag before!" Tenten sighed in distress, holding the explosive tag. Neji was about to say something when Might Guy suddenly widened his eyes, "Wait, this is..."
"Teacher Kai, you know about this?" Xiao Li's eyes lit up instantly as he jumped in front of Kai, his gaze burning with excitement. "Wow, as expected of Teacher Kai, he actually discovered such secret information! Tell us quickly, what kind of explosive tag is this??"
"I can already feel the restless, passionate energy of youth! Today is the day for Class Kai to shine! Come on, Teacher Kai!!"
“Lee, now is not the time to be competitive. Although I also really want to show the Fifth Hokage how powerful our class is, in the face of such a critical matter concerning the crisis of Konoha, we must prioritize the mission!” Might Guy looked at his excited disciple and raised a finger to lecture him, “If you don’t understand this, you will never become a Chunin.”
"Yes, Teacher Kai!" Xiao Li's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he picked up his notebook and began to write furiously.
"Uh…"
Neji and Tenten exchanged a speechless glance. Neji frowned and pressed on, "Guy-sensei, tell me quickly, what kind of explosive tag is this? Perhaps there's some important information hidden inside!"
"Important intelligence?" Might Guy's expression hardened, then his eyes widened as he stared intently at the explosive tags. "Yes, that's it! I remember it!!"
Under the excited and expectant gazes of Neji and the others, Might Guy stroked his chin and nodded repeatedly, then narrowed his eyes, "Ahaha, but I seem to have forgotten where I saw this before..."
Neji, Tenten, Little Lee—

"Those are explosive tags from thirty years ago, the old version of explosive tags." Just as Neji and the other two were completely bewildered, Tsunade's voice suddenly rang in their ears.
"Lady Tsunade..."
"Advisor..."
"Tsunade-sensei..."
Upon seeing that it was Tsunade, the Hokage's advisor, Guy, Neji, and the other two immediately turned around and greeted her respectfully.
Because Tenten also joined the Konoha Medical Training Program, she also respectfully calls Tsunade "Teacher"!
"Thirty-year-old detonating tags? Could it be that the enemy used an older version to save costs?" Neji asked immediately, but then dismissed the question.
Even if the old version can save costs, the number of explosive tags will not decrease much even if the new version is replaced, so it will not have much impact on the destructive power.
"Or perhaps the enemy set these up a long time ago, which is why these are older versions of the explosive tags that have been replaced?" Shikamaru appeared in a flash, questioning, "Sorry, you guys were too loud, I was on the next street."
"As expected of Shikaku's son, he noticed this so quickly." Tsunade smiled and nodded, praising him generously, then turned her gaze to Neji.
"So Neji, I need your eyes to confirm this answer."
As they spoke, Shizune, who was next to Tsunade, immediately unfolded a detailed map of the Konoha area. "Please mark the locations where the explosive tags are concentrated, Neji."
"I see." Neji suddenly understood, immediately took the map, and leaped onto a nearby high-rise building. "Byakugan - Activate..."
The next instant, as a dense array of spider-like explosive tags came into view, Neji gasped again and quickly memorized and marked their positions.
"Just as I thought, the enemy set up the explosive tag trap at least thirty years ago." A few minutes later, Tsunade looked at the marked map and confirmed it with certainty.
"Why would you say that, Lady Tsunade?" Kakashi, Junto, and the others who arrived upon hearing the news were all surprised and puzzled, then looked at the map thoughtfully.
"You young people may not know, but these areas with dense explosive tags used to be residential areas or important departments of Konoha. The guy who set up the explosive tags wanted to destroy the entire Konoha in one fell swoop!" Tsunade's eyes flashed with anger as she gritted her teeth. Such a dangerous mechanism had actually existed for at least thirty years.
The thought that Konoha had been sitting on a powder keg for the past thirty years, ready to be detonated and destroyed by the enemy at any moment, sent chills down Tsunade and Kakashi's spines.
"Shikamaru, you and Shizune go to the archives to check the plans and deployments from thirty years ago. I need to know who was in charge of building these things back then. Everyone else, search the entire village for suspicious individuals. Since it hasn't been triggered or activated for thirty years, this situation definitely means the enemy is about to make a move!" Kakashi decisively ordered, and everyone immediately nodded and scattered to search.
Meanwhile, inside the Hokage Rock in Konoha, Kakashi finally found a clue and got to the point.
"Have they been discovered? Heh, isn't it too late to realize it now?" An old man wearing a headscarf looked out the window at the Konoha ninja running around below and grinned maliciously.
"Moreover, you've all been fooled! Those explosive tags were just a smokescreen to attract your attention. After all, with the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, these mechanisms couldn't possibly go undetected once activated!"
"So my real target for the explosion is actually this Hokage Rock, which you Konoha ninjas are so proud of. If we destroy this mountain, a massive mudslide will engulf the entire village!!"
"Hmph, the pain that Konoha brought to Kagerou Village thirty years ago, today you will pay for it with blood and tears." With boundless hatred and loathing in his eyes, the old man revealed a gleeful expression as he walked up the stairs to the top of the Hokage Rock and found the most important detonator.
"Spiritual communication..."
Slowly forming hand seals to summon a flying bird for escape, the old man drew his kunai and thrust it towards the detonator without hesitation.
At the critical moment, just as the old man made his move, a blue-white spirit instantly entered his body at a speed invisible to the naked eye. "This...this is...?"
"Sorry, you've been discovered..." Ishikawa's spirit said with a faint smile, as he controlled the old man to throw away the kunai and take a few steps back to create distance.
He didn't remember where Naruto found the old man, but he did remember that the old man was going to detonate a mechanism at the Hokage Rock to destroy Konoha!
Therefore, we can simply wait and see.
The reason we didn't act immediately was because we were afraid that something unexpected might happen to our accomplices and cause further complications!
"Damn it, even if you control me, it won't change the fate of Konoha's destruction. Anyway, I've lived long enough, so taking Konoha with me to the grave isn't a loss." As if he had expected this, the old man, though unwilling, still roared confidently and decisively.
Almost simultaneously, the ninja beast Asuka, seeing that the old man had not detonated the mechanism, let out a mournful cry and kicked at the Third Hokage Iwa's face with its claws covered in explosive tags.
"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade..."
In the blink of an eye, just as the bird was about to strike, a defiant low growl suddenly rang out.
The next instant, the high-pressure typhoon slammed into the bird like a cannonball, sending it flying hundreds of meters before it exploded in mid-air!
"Sorry, you're not the only one with companions." Looking at the dumbfounded old man who seemed struck by lightning, the spirit of Ishikawa glanced at Shukaku and nodded in satisfaction.
Next, the whole village will reap the benefits of this unexpected windfall...
Well, we've inadvertently given Konoha another boost in resources for the Fourth Shinobi World War. With everyone having a hundred explosive tags, are you scared yet?
