"Ahhh... It hurts, my head hurts so much!"
Izayoi felt nothing as the invisible Yin Release Chakra seeped into his body.
This Chakra, much like the Ninja Techniques that were repelled and scattered by the Almighty Push, was blasted away and dispersed by an invisible force of rules before it could even penetrate Izayoi's body. This left the caster with severe aftereffects.
The agonizing screams came from Yamanaka Fu, who had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike and seize Izayoi's body, all in an attempt to help Lord Danzo obtain the Rinnegan.
Izayoi's gaze pierced through the darkness, watching as Yamanaka Fu clutched his head, rolling on the ground in pain, his eyes nearly bursting. Izayoi couldn't help but mutter two words in his native tongue: "What a fool."
Using a mental Yin Release Ninja Technique on an Otsutsuki, especially one who had awakened the Ultimate Eye Technique, was nothing short of a death wish.
Apart from Body Techniques and rule-based abilities, the Otsutsuki's resistance to all other forms of attack had reached inhuman levels.
And this was just the red-level Otsutsuki Bloodline.
If it were a pure-blooded Otsutsuki from another world, their resistance would be so strong that they could even be immune to Ninja Techniques, including Bloodline Entrapment and Divine Technique-level Genjutsu.
This immunity alone would drive ninety-nine percent of ninjas to despair.
"Continue with the area tactics."
No one paid any attention to the screaming Yamanaka Fu.
From the darkness, Shimura Danzo's voice echoed, blending into the Wind Release. If Izayoi hadn't possessed the Tenseigan and the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, he wouldn't have been able to pinpoint Danzo's location.
"Fire Release: Ash Concealing Technique!"
A small opening was torn in the barrier, and four members of the Root Organization quickly formed hand seals, spewing a massive amount of ash into the enclosed space. In an instant, the area within the barrier became a hazy, gray fog.
Before the barrier could close, the four members bit down hard, and a small flame, like a lit fuse, seeped into the barrier, igniting the ash and creating a massive orange-red blaze that was about to cause a tremendous explosion.
"Almighty Push."
The Repulsive Force Storm once again scattered the ash and flames, simultaneously slamming into the barrier with tremendous force.
This time, the Repulsive Force Storm was incredibly powerful.
The barrier, like an inflated balloon, rapidly expanded and severely deformed.
Although it didn't break due to its resilience, the four maintaining the barrier could see it pressing towards them.
Despite being the casters, the flames on the barrier didn't recognize them as allies.
Before they could dispel the barrier, the four casters were touched by it.
"Ahhh..."
As the screams rang out, the Four Violet Flames Formation vanished, and the Repulsive Force Storm expanded outward, shattering the stone bridge and stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
The already dimly lit underground base was now pitch black, with no visibility at all.
Izayoi, who had been about to increase the intensity to test the barrier's limits, was momentarily stunned.
Glancing at the four charred corpses beneath the broken bridge, Izayoi shook his head and murmured, "What a pity, they were such high-quality resources."
After speaking, Izayoi's eyes suddenly flashed as if he had noticed something.
Without hesitation, Izayoi unleashed another Repulsive Force Storm, repelling and obliterating the nanoscale poison bugs that were invisible to the naked eye.
As soon as he landed, various colored Ninja Techniques once again came at him from all directions.
Once again, before they could even touch Izayoi, they were mercilessly scattered by the force of repulsion.
The members of the Root Organization had clearly recognized the power of this ability. Instead of using barriers to trap Izayoi, they employed Earth Release to turn the ground into a swamp and used various long-range ninja techniques to force Izayoi to continuously use that ability, all to gather intelligence for Lord Danzo.
"Why haven't the other squads arrived yet? Did you fail to relay my orders?" Shimura Danzo asked, his voice cutting through the darkness as he looked at Yamanaka Fu, who had slightly recovered. "I notified everyone. If they haven't arrived yet, they must have encountered enemies," Fu replied, clutching his head with a pained expression. "Earlier, I sensed several chakra signatures, likely subordinates of this person. However, their chakra wasn't particularly strong. Unless they were picked off one by one, they shouldn't be a match for those squads."
Hearing this, Danzo's expression softened slightly.
Then, he turned to Aburame Torune, who had repeatedly failed in his sneak attacks, and asked, "Torune, have you figured it out?"
"Yes, Lord Danzo," Torune nodded and replied, "This person's technique is incredibly unique and powerful. It can repel and scatter all ninja techniques, and its cooldown is extremely short. However, there is a flaw. When he wants to unleash a powerful invisible storm, he needs to charge up for a while. During the process of converting his chakra into the nature transformation of that technique, a green barrier appears around him."
"If he uses it consecutively, the second activation, as long as there are no buildings nearby, is essentially an enhanced version of Wind Release: Great Breakthrough that can repel all ninja techniques. If one has a strong physical constitution, they might even withstand the second activation."
"He seems to be aware of this, which is why he rarely uses it consecutively. Instead, he prefers to charge up while stationary or in mid-air. This is actually the best time to attack him, but..."
Torune paused, leaving the sentence unfinished.
Yamanaka Fu picked up where he left off, his gaze fixed on Izayoi, who was being 'held back' by the Root members' relentless attacks. "But his Yin Release Chakra is extremely powerful. The secret techniques of the Yamanaka Clan are useless against him, and it's likely the same for genjutsu. To make him reveal a weakness, we not only need to prevent him from charging up but also stop him from using consecutive activations. That's practically impossible."
"And the insects tell me that his chakra is immense. Trying to exhaust him through attrition might be unrealistic," Torune added.

"Flight, combined offense and defense, a technique that can be used infinitely, and the ability to summon colossal beings—is this the power of the Rinnegan?" Shimura Danzo's eyes burned with fervor and greed as he looked at Izayoi. "The legendary pinnacle of the three great eye techniques shouldn't be limited to just these three abilities."
It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands.
Danzo had already formulated a strategy in his mind.
Without hesitation, he unwrapped the bandage covering his right eye and removed the seals on his arm that concealed the Sharingan. He then gestured a series of hand signals to Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Shino.
Seeing this, Fu and Torune immediately nodded and vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.
Meanwhile, Izayoi, who was enjoying the back-and-forth game of "you attack, I repel; you attack again, I repel again" with the Root members, was in an exceptionally good mood.
Because every now and then, Izayoi would see a blue beam and a green beam flying from a certain direction, penetrating all obstacles and seeping into his body.
Sometimes, even a purple beam would fly in.
With each beam entering his body, a system notification would sound in Izayoi's mind, and he would immediately decompose the Talent into points.
The points kept rising, each time by a random two-digit, three-digit, or even four-digit number.
In the eyes of Shimura Danzo and the others, Izayoi was being suppressed by their firepower, forced to stand still and engage in a battle of attrition.
In reality, in Izayoi's eyes, the members of the Root Organization were all treasures, and he couldn't bear to strike them down with full force.
Even if they accidentally killed themselves, Izayoi would feel heartbroken, no less than a severe financial hemorrhage when he was broke.
If Gato was the world's foremost tycoon, then the Root Organization, in Izayoi's eyes, was a treasure trove of points.
Thanks to Shimura Danzo's pickiness, every member of the Root Organization was at least a Chuunin with a green Talent, up to Jonin Aptitude with blue Talents, and even Kekkei Genkai possessors with purple Talents.
Moreover, few members had only one Talent; almost all of them were elites with two or three Talents to start with.
On the outside battlefield, Human Puppets had to kill several people before a green Talent would drop.
But when killing members of the Root Organization, almost every two kills would yield a green or blue Talent, or even a double drop.
Such a high drop rate was something Izayoi had never encountered since obtaining the Talent Attribute System.
At this moment, Izayoi suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.
His good days had finally arrived.
The anxiety of worrying about leveling up too slowly, being caught up or surpassed by cheaters when the Shippuden arc began, and then the arrival of aliens, with the Shinobi World potentially entering the era of Bloodline Entrapment and Divine Techniques at any moment, was finally cured.
