From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 165 Return (5k)

The war was over, and the Thousand Towers, which had been intact just now, had now turned into a ruin swept by a storm. If this place had not been located in the very center of the entire Loulan Kingdom, I am afraid that just one battle would have caused countless casualties.

Only the young man who had just stepped on the god was still standing on the ruins. The wooden body under his feet seemed to have gone through thousands of years in an instant. It corroded and rotted rapidly at a very fast speed, and finally turned into a pile of unrecognizable mud. The huge amount of dragon vein energy wrapped around her body surface, and the chakra extending from this energy, also dissipated without knowing it, and completely melted into the air.

He stood quietly at the top of the ruins. The wounds on his body were healing at an astonishing speed. His whole body seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of white smoke. However, he was still holding a small black bead in his hand, observing it carefully.

The whole battle seemed long, but in fact, at their level, it only took a dozen seconds in total.

Miss Sarah, the crown princess of Loulan, looked at the Thousand Towers, which had been in good condition just now, and turned into this state in the blink of an eye. She is still stunned until now.

By the time I realized what was happening, I felt so wronged that tears almost fell from my eyes.

It was not until then that everyone present finally reacted.

"It's as strong as a monster."

"Injuries of that degree were healed in an instant, and other abilities except for space attacks were unable to touch his body at all."

Uchiha Sasuke still has his Sharingan open until now, and he is probably one of the people who sees the clearest among all the people present.

However, after seeing the violent attack launched by Sawara Kiri just now, the arrogance of "each generation is stronger than the previous one" that was previously in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"of course."

However, Hatake Kakashi has been shrouded in the enchanting aura of Sawara Kiri ever since he can remember. Although he has shown superhuman talent, when compared with his target Sawara Kiri, he is nothing. A beacon that he can never catch up with no matter how hard he tries, after chasing for decades, he naturally developed a very strong ability to accept.

At this moment, seeing Sasuke also involuntarily expressing the same emotion as he did before, he couldn't help but smile and said calmly:
"He is the Godaime-sama after all."

"The strongest Hokage ever."

Originally, when Naruto, Sasuke and others heard this rumored name, they couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced, but now, after seeing the other party's fighting style with their own eyes, the anger in their hearts suddenly calmed down.

However, he did not lose his fighting spirit.

Naruto Namikaze looked at the back and suddenly revealed a sunny smile:

"Decided!"

"Just aim to surpass him."

"Otherwise, even if you take the position of the Eighth Generation, you will probably feel that you don't deserve the title!"

Uchiha Sasuke, who was stunned just now, glanced at him when he heard the words. Seeing the iconic smile on his face, he suddenly snorted for no reason and said disdainfully:
"idiot."

"I am the future Eighth Hokage."

"what?!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, the seniors are still watching."

Sakura, who was trying to stop the fight, looked at these two idiots who had been fighting for the top spot since they were in the ninja school, and couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression on her face.

Hatake Kakashi was watching with a smile on his face, not taking this little thing to heart at all.

It's a good thing for young people to have fighting spirit.

If he hadn't worked as hard as he did before, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve even this much result now, right?
As a teacher, Kakashi felt somewhat comforted.

the other side.

Orochimaru and the others had already come to Sawara Kiri's side, and their golden snake pupils subconsciously glanced at the bead in his hand:
"Is this the power source of that clone?"

"Ah."

Sawara Kiri tossed the bead in his hand, threw it to Orochimaru, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is most likely the core of the sacred tree, or a seed or something like that."

"oh?!"

As early as in the conversation with Kakashi's team just now, they had already relied on future intelligence to reveal information related to the Otsutsuki clan to Sawara Kiri and others. Naturally, they also knew what level of treasure the so-called seed of the sacred tree was.

At this moment, when they saw that this small bead was the seed of the sacred tree, both Orochimaru and Jiraiya's eyes seemed to light up unconsciously.

Sawara Kiri continued to remind: "If you just look at it with your naked eyes, you may not be able to detect too many clues."

"I just used the Six Eyes to observe it. This bead must have been compressed by the dragon vein energy. There are still quite a lot of traces left on it. At the same time, there are also extremely fine sealing patterns on the surface. The whole thing is quite complicated. I can't quite understand it for a while."

"If possible, I hope Lord Orochimaru can study it carefully later."

"Ah."

Ever since Orochimaru took the bead, he has been constantly using chakra to sense the internal structure, just like Sawara Kiri just did. Even when Sawara Kiri was talking, he only pricked up one ear and listened, and his eyes never left the bead from the beginning.

However, Sawara Kiri was extremely tolerant of this rare scientist in the ninja world, and did not take this little thing to heart at all. Instead, he looked up at the underground hole that Kaguya Otsutsuki had just emerged from:
"Before that, let's go take a look down there."

"If I'm not mistaken, the formation below is the key factor in gathering the energy of the dragon vein."

As he spoke, he turned around and called out to Kakashi's team, "Kakashi, come over and help. When it comes to future technology, you guys are probably more capable."

"Also, do you have any relatively practical scientific research tools?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem to leave a few for us as backup, right?"

"Yes!"

Hearing the greeting, Hatake Kakashi also quickly walked forward.

However, for a combat team like them, it would be quite difficult to carry a few scientific research ninja tools with them.

Kakashi thought for a moment, took out a few capsules from his ninja tool bag, and brought them to Sawara Kiri, saying a little embarrassedly: "Sawara-sama, if you must talk about scientific research-type ninja tools, there should only be these few exploratory ninja tools. I wonder if they can meet your requirements."

Hearing this, Orochimaru immediately raised his head, stared at the capsule in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Then we will accept it with pleasure."

He is really not polite at all in this regard.

Hatake Kakashi didn't care about this little thing.

Until their time, Lord Orochimaru was still the evergreen in the ninja scientific research community, and Kakashi knew his character very well.

After finishing these trivial matters and noticing the urgent gaze of Princess Sarah, Sawara Kiri led his group to jump underground and directly into the dragon vein barrier at the core deep underground.

Noticing the figure lying on the ground, Sarah's heart suddenly felt like it was pulled, and she rushed over and held her body:
"mom!"

Orochimaru first followed to the side of the formation, carefully observed the surrounding seal patterns, and found that most of them were parts that he could break. Then he put aside some of the thoughts in his mind, walked to the side of Queen Luya, walked past Sarah, put one hand on her forehead, and carefully felt it. Then he said hoarsely in the tone of coaxing a child:

"Don't worry, it's just that his mental strength is overdrawn, his life is not in danger."

"I'll probably recover after sleeping for a day or two."

Hearing this, perhaps because she was frightened or her body was stiff, Sarah stopped crying and stared blankly in the direction of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru seemed to be used to this kind of scene and smiled gently:

"don’t worry."

"Also, are you interested in being my assistant?"

"."

Sara looked at him timidly, then looked at her mother in her arms, and whispered, "Excuse me, can I wait until my mother wakes up before I give you an answer?"

After seeing the devastating scenes just now, Sarah no longer dared to have any rebellious thoughts towards these ninja masters. She only hoped that Loulan Kingdom would not suffer such a disaster again.

However, while feeling uneasy, I also inexplicably yearn for it.

If I were strong enough, my mother wouldn't have been abducted by An Lushan like before, and the country wouldn't have been destroyed like this, right?
Young Sarah thought silently in her heart.

Sawara Kiri only took a glance and then looked away.

Lord Orochimaru, the professional child kidnapper, is coaxing a child again.

It's obvious that he's attracted by her bloodline that can control dragon vein energy, right?
Of course, Sawara Kiri naturally couldn't say anything about such things. At least what Orochimaru was doing now was beneficial to most people.

As he thought about this in his mind, he walked towards the dragon vein energy barrier located in the center of the underground.

Sawara Kiri gradually opened his "Six Eyes" to the limit, carefully sensing the delicate energy that slowly seeped out from the ground. Even if he was just standing here, he could clearly feel the countless dragon veins that gathered here and finally condensed into a violent and hidden power like a volcano.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took out the seed of the sacred tree he had just brought back, and used chakra to connect the seed with the war.

"Om-"

The next moment, the seed of the sacred tree was seen actively absorbing the energy of the dragon vein and floating up out of thin air in front of him.

Everyone present first subconsciously showed a look of vigilance.

However, after seeing Sawara Kiri standing there, he couldn't help but relax a little.

Even though Sawara Kiri is still relatively young compared to Kakashi and the others, he seems to be born with this power that can make people feel at ease.

It was enough that he was still standing there.

Almost at the same moment, this formation began to operate passively.

A corresponding beam of light also rose from the ruins in the distance.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that that should be the direction from which Kakashi and others appeared.

Although the ripples in space were still very subtle, Kakashi's team and others were all dazzled.

Sure enough, since I can appear at this point in time, there is a chance to go back!

"Sama Godaime-sama."

Although Hatake Kakashi was surprised, he still turned his head and looked in the direction of Sawara Kiri, obviously asking for instructions.

Sawara Kiri thought for a moment and smiled at them:
"You also have your own era. You shouldn't have stayed here. It's enough that you have left us so many messages from the future."

"Thank you so much for this time, Kakashi."

"I don't deserve it, Godaime-sama."

He raised his head, looked at Sahara Kiri on the stage, and said sincerely: "We also hope from the bottom of our hearts that you can change this directionless era."

"Please, make sure you survive the dangers ahead."

Hatake Kakashi looked at him quietly.

Sawara Kiri just waved his hands, as if he didn't care about life or death at all, but his tone seemed to be filled with unparalleled confidence:
"Of course."

"I am the strongest!"

Hearing this, Hatake Kakashi looked at him quietly, and suddenly revealed a relaxed smile.

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the group of people carried the centipede corpse on the ground and walked towards the direction where the light column rose - no one knew how long this passage could last.

But before leaving, Naruto Namikaze turned his head and looked at the man who was looking at him in the crowd, showing a sunny smile and mouthing something.

Minato Namikaze looked at him, as if he understood, and nodded slightly.

live.

Love is the most twisted curse, but also the most sincere wish.

Carrying the love from his wife and future son, Minato Namikaze will never let this feeling down.

Hatake Sakumo simply met Kakashi's gaze, and the father and son tacitly did not say much. Just the glances were enough to convey their mutual trust.

After all, his son has grown into a ninja who can be relied on by everyone, right?

Everyone looked towards Kakashi's team.

In just the moment of being immersed in the beam of light, everyone present felt a strong ripple in space and time.

The next moment, they all disappeared.

All that was left in front of them were the few capsules in their hands.

However, after their figures disappeared, the surface of the capsule, which had been as smooth as new, suddenly became covered with tiny traces of rust, as if it had experienced the passage of countless years.

It's like it has gone through countless changes over a long period of time.

Orochimaru noticed this accurately.

However, his research in the field of time and space cannot be said to have just begun, but it can be said that he has not yet entered the door. Even if he has discovered corresponding phenomena, he cannot explain them for the time being.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the more unknown something is, the more it can stimulate his desire to research.

really.

Curiosity is the only driving force in this world that propels human progress.

"It seems that we need to include this place in the protection area."

When all the members of the Future Team disappeared, everyone fell into an inexplicable melancholy. Jiraiya suddenly changed the subject and looked at the circle of formations on the ground with a stern look:

"If we want to maintain observation of time and space as Sawara-kun said, it would be a little unsafe to keep it inside Loulan."

"No one can guarantee that there is only one centipede in the world."

The moment they heard these words, everyone present couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, as if they had just realized this.

"really."

Sawara Kiri's voice was equally solemn, and he looked straight at the seed of the sacred tree floating in the air in front of him: "The importance of the seed of the sacred tree alone is enough for us to not ignore it."

"Besides that, although I don't know why the other Otsutsuki clan didn't directly set the time node to this stage, we still have to make preparations in advance."

He turned to look at everyone, and said seriously, "Please don't underestimate the ability of the Otsutsuki clan because of the strength of that woman just now."

"If what Kakashi and the others said before is true, the other Otsutsuki clan members who appeared in the future are likely to be dozens or hundreds of times stronger than her. Even the future me who has been preparing for the battle with the strength of the entire village for many years will have to die at their hands."

"I hope you all understand the dangers involved."

Although he is still young, it can be seen from his words that this young man already has some of the qualities of the future Fifth Hokage.

Orochimaru nodded calmly: "The idea proposed by Kiri-kun before is a very good one."

"If we can establish an organization that has the ability to transcend time and space and observe the entire world online as a whole, it will definitely be a great benefit to us."

"With the help of a carrier that transcends time and space, such as the sacred tree seed, it should be possible to accomplish it."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the seed floating in the air.

Although it is still a ruin now, everyone can imagine what it will be like in the future.

"That's great." Sahara Kiri seemed relieved and smiled at Orochimaru.

Sarah listened to them quietly.

Although most of what they are talking about is building something here, it is most likely that they are here to protect them, right?

As a princess, she naturally has a desire to possess her country's treasures - this is not selfish, but a pure standpoint.

However, after seeing her mother fainting in her arms due to overdrawn by An Lushan, and large areas of buildings around her being destroyed at any time, she has now deeply realized the vulnerability of ordinary people to ninjas.

If only she could become a ninja.
The girl couldn't help but pursed her lips and subconsciously thought so in her heart.

Wait until a few days later.

Queen Luya woke up from her coma and learned about a series of events that had happened during this period. After regaining power, she and her group took the seeds of the sacred tree, copied the underground barrier seal, and returned to Konoha.

But besides this, there are some other troubles.

Although no one present said anything, Sahara Kiri was very clear that the bloodline limit in his body that was pointed out by Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the bone layer that was almost the same as the corpse veins, would definitely not be hidden from the eyes of those who stood at the top of the ninja world.

The problem now was how to reveal all these 'little things' to the Sannin.
