From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 161 Fruit (5k)

dead again?
The moment Sawara Kiri heard the result, this inexplicable thought immediately popped into his mind.

He found that he never seemed to have a good ending in the eyes of the system and others.

However, this ending was just a momentary pause for him, but it was like a bolt from the blue to others.

"How can it be?!"

Almost at the moment when these words fell, Miss Yayoi couldn't help but speak in a hurried voice.

Unlike the countless future lines that Sawara Kiri had predicted at the system level, this was the first time she had obtained solid information from the future population.

However, for someone like her who has long regarded Sawara Kiri as her inner pillar, this result is undoubtedly completely unacceptable.

Hatake Kakashi seemed to have anticipated this outcome. He lowered his head helplessly and continued, "This is indeed the outcome. It is also because of this result that the entire ninja world has been in turmoil until now, and the momentum that was originally developing has been completely interrupted."

"The only thing to be thankful for is that Lord Sawara left a sufficiently rich legacy to the Konoha ninja before his death. Whether it was the all-domain barrier or the sky-based chakra cannon, they barely helped Konoha to maintain its position as the overlord of the ninja world."

"However, we are powerless in other areas outside the Fire Nation."

"In fact, the Land of Water had already completely collapsed before this. Even the Hidden Mist Village was unable to rebuild. A large-scale civil war broke out within the Land of Wind. Apart from us, only the Land of Earth has been able to maintain its vitality intact."

At this point, not only Hatake Kakashi, but even the three young ninjas behind him couldn't help but lower their heads slightly.

Naruto Namikaze couldn't help but sigh.

Konoha in their era was indeed strong enough, and it had always been in a relatively peaceful environment before they started their mission.

But it is also because of this that, after starting to go abroad on missions and gradually seeing the miserable scenes outside, they could not help but sigh and even mourn.

Just as Kakashi said, the unrest in many small countries has become so serious that they can't even meet their basic food needs. In the Land of Waves where he had been, there had even been large-scale cannibalism. Only the area within the Land of Fire has been able to remain intact thanks to the power of Konoha - even so, it was thanks to the large-scale logistics system established during the Fifth Hokage's tenure.

Even though he is now a first-class jonin and has experienced countless missions, when Naruto Uzumaki recalls the scenes he saw back then, he still can't help but feel a little emotional.

If it weren't for the contribution of this adult in front of him who looked about the same age as him, would their country really be as stable as it is now?

He was not born in a peaceful era, but was born in a sufficiently strong country.

For Naruto Namikaze, this feeling was extremely profound.

However, Sawara Kiri was not misled by the words of these future people. He frowned, as if he had caught some doubts, and said puzzledly:
"Wait a moment."

"According to what you mean, in that world, I, Minato and the others all died in the battle of Konoha in the 51st year?"

"Didn't I, in that world line, ever come to Loulan?"

"How long will Konoha Village remain in a state of war preparation?"

"According to my personality, if I knew this news, I would not be so unprepared."

Sawara Kiri still has some self-awareness, especially when it comes to saving his own life - in fact, it's not his fault. Anyone who has experienced a childhood as an undercover agent and grows up successfully will probably develop a character that values ​​life very much.

Unless he really becomes limitless in the future.

"No, I have prepared it."

Hatake Kakashi's voice interrupted his thoughts: "According to my impression, since the 42nd year of Konoha, the whole village has been developing a secret technology. It was not until I became a special class that I learned that the ultimate trump card is a series of high-powered techniques that combine multiple special techniques such as nuclear escape, micro escape, and space escape."

"It's just that the requirements of those techniques for the users are too high, and the level of secrecy is also very high, so most of the Konoha high-level officials have only learned part of them."

"This large-scale war preparation research and development lasted throughout the 40s. I don't know why, but after 49, Your Excellency began to gradually cut funding until the original economic development route before the war was restored."

"However, it was precisely because of the preparations made back then that we were able to perish together with those members of the Otsutsuki clan."

"After that war, the plates within the Land of Earth collapsed on a large scale, and a narrow sea of ​​more than a thousand kilometers was opened up between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire."

"The massive climate change didn't settle down until five years later."

"Eh!?"

The moment they heard this secret, not only the people around Sawara Kiri, but also Naruto Namikaze and Sasuke and others widened their eyes.

"Is the Narrow Sea actually left over from that battle?"

"Is that something a human can do?!"

Obviously, even they are not qualified to access the various secrets of that era, and the management of this kind of related information is obviously very strict.

"ocean."

Orochimaru's pair of golden snake eyes stared quietly at Sahara Kiri. He was so excited that he subconsciously stuck out his tongue and moved it half a circle around the corner of his lips.

Sawara Kiri, how many more surprises can you bring me?
This level of power is probably something that even the combined efforts of all the tailed beasts cannot achieve, right?
But, how powerful is his enemy that requires this guy to do this?
Although they were talking about issues that endangered the safety of the entire world, Orochimaru was more interested in being able to achieve this kind of god-like power.

If I have to say, perhaps only the legendary Sage of Six Paths can master such great power, right?
Among all the people present, only Sawara Kiri remained calm, without any unnecessary emotions arising from the fact that his future self had reached that level.

Instead, he continued, "Besides escape techniques, what about sealing techniques, weapons, or special bloodline development, as well as large-scale summoning beasts? Haven't they appeared before?"

Hatake Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, and frowned as he recalled carefully for a while.

As Hatake Sakumo's successor and one of the highest-ranking officials in his own timeline, the intelligence he had access to was obviously all that Konoha had.

However, after thinking for a long time, Hatake Kakashi still shook his head slightly: "Apart from the large-scale adjustments on nuclear escape and space escape techniques, the fifth generation did not develop more."

“This may be the pinnacle of human power.”

There was a sense of comfort in his tone, but also a hint of helplessness.

Although the Fifth Generation is extremely talented and developed powerful techniques such as the "Unlimited Technique" at a very young age, he may also have many inspirations that have not yet been realized.

However, since something like that happened in the future, it is highly likely that all of Godaime-sama's subsequent experiments failed, with only those few successful paths remaining.

Although he himself thought it was already unbelievably amazing, this gentleman still seemed to be very dissatisfied with his future self.

Kakashi Hatake smiled bitterly in his heart. This should be a field that a mediocre person like him would find difficult to reach.

However, a smile slowly appeared on Sawara Kiri's face.

It turned out to be the case.

Even though there was little information that could be obtained from Hatake Kakashi, Sawara Kiri still keenly discovered one thing.

No matter whether it is nuclear escape, micro escape or some other random escape techniques, they are actually just bloodline techniques already existing in the ninja world developed according to his original knowledge system.

This is totally inconsistent with his current conditions.

Obviously, the Sawara Kiri in that world line is just a copy extended according to his existing conditions, but without any system support.

If that is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, you just said that the budget cuts started after 49. What's going on?"

Hatake Kakashi thought about it and said, "It's probably because they can't afford it."

"At that time, I had not yet been promoted to the special class, so I didn't know much information. My impression was that not long after I graduated from the technical college, there was a sudden decline in overall military spending, and it seemed that the security was completely relaxed."

"As for the specific reason, I don't know."

"I'm afraid only the senior officials who experienced that era personally would know."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sawara Kiri nodded as a matter of course. It would be amazing if every senior executive could record all the information of that era. There are always some things that cannot be left on paper. Even if the person involved wants to know, he can only guess, not to mention young people like Kakashi who entered the senior management system more than ten years later.

He pondered in his heart, but his expression deliberately became more solemn, and he said calmly:
"If what you said is true, then it might be a little dangerous."

"The Otsutsuki clan on the other side are likely to have the ability to travel through time and space." "According to my usual practice, if I had experienced the Dragon Vein incident, I would probably have been preparing for battle until the corresponding time node appeared, and then I would have been able to relax my vigilance."

"Obviously, for me in your world line, the other party appeared in the 40s with a high probability. In addition, the other party should not be just one person, but a whole group."

"The reason why military spending has dropped so much is probably because we killed one or two of the opponents, most likely the strongest among them, which gave me confidence at that time."

"In addition, the enemy's strength and even the relevant intelligence I know about that line should also have some errors from what you are saying now."

"Given all these errors, it's not surprising that we would die at the hands of the other party."

Hearing this, Hatake Kakashi's expression suddenly froze and he looked at him in surprise.

It seemed as if no one had expected that this adult would accept his own death so easily, and that so much information could be deduced based on just this little information.

It was as if he didn't care about his own life or death at all.

In fact, Sawara Kiri was not as relaxed as he had imagined. Now he had just accepted the reality that "him without a system" died at the hands of the Otsutsuki.

It seems that I still need to work harder to win my heart.

Thinking this in his heart, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Uchiha Yayoi.

Miss Yayoi was staring at him with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way."

Looking at her nervous appearance, Sawara Kiri instead revealed a relaxed smile.

"Ah."

Uchiha Yayoi nodded vigorously.

Then, Sawara Kiri turned his head and suddenly looked at Orochimaru, asking, "Lord Orochimaru, if I want to use the dragon veins as the energy and information basis to build a systematic project that can transcend and observe various world lines, is it possible to complete it?"

After hearing his words, everyone present was stunned. They were completely unable to imagine what a product that could observe various world lines would look like.

Only when Orochimaru heard his idea, his golden snake eyes almost burst into dazzling light.

He quietly looked at Kakashi and the others who had traveled to this time point, and then smiled at Sawara Kiri:
"Of course it's possible."

After getting this result, Sawara Kiri turned around and looked at the future people, and said, "Kakashi, did Konoha in that world ever build an experimental project named 'Chaldea' or 'Humanity Continuation Guarantee Agency'? If it's just a name, I should still keep it in the file."

The moment Hatake Kakashi heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his entire body seemed to be inspired with an unprecedented sharpness, and he said solemnly:
"Never."

A sunny smile gradually appeared on Sahara Kiri's face, and he said gently:

"Then let us change history from now on."

"Yes!"

Hatake Kakashi suddenly became excited.

Just as the Konoha group was preparing to take action.

the other side.

A tall man with a sturdy build and a thick beard was holding a red-haired woman in his hand and running quickly in the passage under the Thousand Towers.

Following him were only dozens of humanoid metal puppets.

At this moment, the expression on this burly man's face was barely calm, but the panic seemed to be emerging from the depths of his eyes.

'how come? ’

'Why do they appear at this time?'

'damn it! '

"This is completely different from the time the adults told us, so we have to start planning ahead of time."

An Lushan, no, to be precise, it should be the top-ranked defecting jonin of the Sand Village, Baizu, who was thinking rapidly in his mind, gritting his teeth in unwillingness.

It has been two years since he followed the instructions of the adults and escaped to this timeline from Konoha in the 63rd year.

During these two years, he has been trying hard to play the role of "An Lushan", assisting Queen Luya and always looking for opportunities to deprive her of control over the dragon veins.

According to the time given to him by the adults, he should have at least four years to prepare, and only then will that damn bastard Sawara Kiri show up here - by that time, it will be too late for him to save the situation.

However, the opponent's actions underwent large-scale changes, forcing him to immediately change his plan and kidnap Queen Luya to go to the core of the dragon vein.

What is even more worrying is that those future people who were expected to appear have also changed the time of their appearance!

what on earth is it? !
If they were there, how much information would that bastard Sawara Kiri get, and how should he save the Kingdom of Wind?
The intense chaos made his head feel heavy.

As a traitor to the human side and a servant of the Otsutsuki clan, the only thing that can support his actions now is the promise of the adults that they will leave the Wind Country as a human protection area after conquering the world, and that he will also become a carrier of the gods.

If Sawara Kiri and his gang are allowed to develop, causing the scale of the war to become even larger than the original timeline, then it will become unknown whether this area can be preserved.

The only thing that is certain is that as human beings, we are absolutely unable to defeat the "gods" of a higher level.

Even Sawara Kiri, who is the pinnacle of humanity, cannot do it.

He is the one who truly endures humiliation and saves the world!

Driven by this sense of mission, Baizu must immediately implement the plan even if it is difficult.

Soon, the passage in front of us passed by at high speed.

The centipede's figure suddenly appeared in the center of a dark, seemingly deserted place.

He first threw Queen Luya to the ground, and then formed seals with his hands according to the technique given by the Otsutsuki masters.

"drink!"

The next moment, his palm immediately pressed on the queen's abdomen and lifted it up suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, a huge amount of chakra flowed into the ground through his palms and body.

Under the seemingly deserted site, a large area of ​​fine and complex sealing patterns had been laid out at some point, and the entire pattern was directly connected to the underground dragon vein.

As the dragon vein energy was activated, the formation suddenly burst into a strange glow, and quickly flowed along the centipede's body into the center of the countless abandoned puppet limbs in front of it.

Almost in an instant, these countless abandoned puppets were connected to each other under the activation of the dragon vein chakra, and pieced together into a colossus that was huge beyond imagination at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Seeing this giant statue, Baizu felt relieved and whispered, "This thing should be able to delay the time a little."

Then, he raised his head and shouted at the giant statue in front of him:

"go with!"

"Kill Sawara Kiri!"

As the voice fell, a red light flashed in the eyes of the giant statue.

Before he could make any move, the centipede had already picked up the queen again and immediately flew in the next direction.

There is the core area of ​​the entire dragon vein system.

As a man from the future, no one knows better than him what kind of power Sawara Kiri can unleash.

There was only one thing he could do to deal with a monster that could rival a god.

——In the backpack behind the centipede, there lay quietly a fruit as big as a stone.
