From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 182: Save a Knife (5k)

The blooming stream of fire flowed like an inverted waterfall, and its temperature was so hot that it was difficult to get close to. In just a moment, it destroyed every trace of chakra of the Otsutsuki in front of him from the surface to the innermost body. It scattered in the air like ashes and turned into endless dust. Even pure energy could not retain a single bit under such a blow.

A slash across the world.
Otsutsuki Momoshiki was half-crouching on the spot, and his white pupils clearly reflected every moment of the opponent's disappearance.

In addition to this, there was the feeling of oppression that he was all too familiar with and all too frightening.

With such a blow, they had no chance at all!
At this moment, the crazy thought of escape once again emerged from the depths of his heart.

However, there was only a brief pause as Sawara Kiri had already pulled back his hand, and the long leg that was originally stepping on the chakra short stick in the opponent's hand was suddenly lifted up. The surging airflow spread out in circles of floating ripples in the air under this sudden explosion, carrying a huge force that seemed to be able to collapse a mountain in an instant.

"boom--"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki was distracted for a moment, causing him to take the blow head-on. His pale chin seemed to be sunken into the depths of his skull under such a huge force, and one could even faintly hear the slight sound of bones breaking. His whole body floated into the air with such terrifying force, accompanied by a slight shrill scream.

However, after these two attacks, Urashiki and Kinshiki had already climbed out of the previous pit, with tiny bloodshot eyes all over their originally pure white eyes, and they spared no effort to fly towards the direction of Sawara Kiri.

However, all their movements seemed so slow in Sawara Kiri's eyes at this moment.

Step back and twist the body.

The foot that had originally flown out stepped on the ground and sank deep into the charred soil, leaving a pit, while the other long leg kicked forward like a giant axe along with the force of the step.

The speed was so fast that no sound could catch up. In the sight of the naked eye, all that was left was a pure white lotus blooming from the high-temperature and distorted air - that was what the sonic boom looked like to ordinary people.

"boom!"

He first kicked Otsutsuki Kinshiki in the chest as he rushed forward, his entire calf sinking deep into his body. The heavy force made his spine from the abdomen to the back seem to explode, and the rushing blood spurted out of his mouth with a "puff" sound, splattering into dots of scarlet peach blossoms.

However, the Otsutsuki clan is not a purely physical clan. Instead, they are a chakra-based race that can even exist in an energy form when they are on the verge of death.

Although his entire body seemed to be pierced through by the kick, Otsutsuki Kinshiki still struggled to release the giant axe in his hand, stretched out his hands forward, and tried to hold his calves.

However, Sawara Kiri, who was temporarily infused with the power of three swords, was not very proficient in the use of the 'Zanka no Tachi' at the moment, so how could his reaction keep up?

Use the force and kick your legs.

The calf that had stepped into his body a moment ago tore open his body from the side, creating a blurry cloud of blood and bone fragments. It kicked the opponent's left arm at a speed so fast that ordinary people could not see clearly, making a sharp scream.

"Snapped--"

The terrifying force actually wrapped around Jin Shi's body, causing him to tilt to the side and completely lose his balance.

However, in just this brief pause, Otsutsuki Urashiki had already crossed the dark space door from the other side and appeared beside him, swinging the fishing rod in his hand forward with all his might, drawing a cherry-colored arc in the air.

In his eye sockets, the original white eyes had turned into a pair of scarlet six-magatama Samsara eyes.

"Tensubami Ryusei-no-Mikoto"

Purple light spots like bullets suddenly condensed on the originally bent fishing rod and shot towards Sawara Kiri's torso.

Try your best and they will have the upper hand!

No matter how powerful Sawara Kiri is, as long as he has not reached the level seen in the future, his body will still be his fatal weakness.

The explosive attack approached the surface of his body in one breath.

in!
Otsutsuki Urashiki's eyes widened, and the blood in his scarlet six-magatama Rinnegan eyes was about to overflow from his eye sockets.

The next moment, a tiny spot of purple light touched Sawara Kiri's body.

However, almost at the moment it touched his body, the originally invisible extremely warm air flow suddenly burst out, emitting unprecedented light and fire, which easily swallowed up the fragile light like a tsunami and burned it into invisible.

Pu Shi's originally ferocious expression suddenly froze.

Momoshiki's body was still hanging upside down in the air, and Kinshiki's body, with half of it broken, remained tilted, and the brilliant flames that engulfed Shinshiki were still gushing out.

In this almost static, ultra-high-speed battle, even Sawara Kiryu's movement of turning sideways to look at him seemed so 'slow'.

However, the murderous intent contained in those blue eyes was so clear.

An overwhelming sense of crisis suddenly arose in Pu Shi's heart.

Almost at the moment he experienced this feeling, the scarlet six-magatama Rinnegan in his eye sockets suddenly twisted, changing from red to blue.

"Heaven's Eternal Stand: Time Rewinds"

At the same moment when this eye technique was performed, Sawara Kiri, who had been keeping a distance from him just now, suddenly appeared in front of him like a flash. Under Sawara Kiri's feet, there were still lingering clear blue chakra aftereffects of the "Technique Forward·Blue" that spread out after compressing the space, but her palm had already touched his body.

"Hypostyle: Chi (200%)"

"Boom."

A dull sound like beating a drum was heard.

Otsutsuki Urashiki, who was still in an attacking posture in the previous second, suddenly had a circle of clear "holes" spreading out with the center of his body as the base point, as if his entire torso was swallowed up by the torn imaginary mass, and the whole person flew backwards along with this huge force.

"Wow—"

The body rolled backwards along with the thrust, creating a gully on the ground that spanned dozens of meters.

However, Otsutsuki's eye technique took effect immediately, causing his body, which was originally spreading out in a diffuse manner, to suddenly stop, and then quickly pieced together as if time had flown backwards, reassembling into the state it was in 0.5 seconds ago.

There was still an intense and indelible fear in those blue six-magatama eyes.

In just a moment, the encirclement of the three people was easily torn apart.

However, Sawara Kiri was not so optimistic.

The power he himself possessed was still too weak, and the Ōtsutsuki's "mass" was indeed too strong. Even a close-range attack like the one just now could only barely knock off half of the opponent's life.

There are still two swords left of the power of the future.

There are three of them.

His gaze shifted to the side and lingered for a moment on Otsutsuki Urashiki, whose face had healed again but was as pale as paper.

Is it the Otsutsuki who specializes in time and space escape?

It’s not easy.

They must be gathered together and slaughtered.

If that's not possible, then use deterrence first.

As he thought this in his mind, the fire flow on his body, which had been condensed to the extreme under the "Rising Sun Sword", gradually covered his entire body, as if he was wearing a blazing cloak, increasing the high temperature that seemed to be able to ignite the heaven and earth by one point. His momentum and will were condensed to the extreme at the same time, locking onto the three people in front of him.

Just by looking at his eyes, the three of them immediately realized something. Under this strong murderous intent, their skin was covered with layers of rare goose bumps, and even their souls seemed to be trembling.

Otsutsuki Momoshiki reacted the fastest, his face twisted, and he screamed:
"Run away separately!!!"

"He won't last long—"

Almost at the moment when he shouted this sentence, his body surface suddenly changed. His originally thin body suddenly swelled up a lot, black lines spread out from the center of his eyebrows to the eye sockets on both sides, and two horns squeezed out of his originally flat head, gradually extending and bending backwards. All the muscles in his body tensed up, and the total amount of chakra that was originally suppressed in his body skyrocketed, but it was not an increase out of thin air, but burning the essence of life, even the loose robe on his body was torn.

There was a thud as his feet hit the ground.

Even the strength that was not fully utilized when fighting desperately just now was used greatly in the escape.

The whole person suddenly rushed towards the hole that Sawara Kiri had torn open on the golden side wall of the cage like a shadow.

The moment they heard his reminder, Otsutsuki Urashiki and Kinshiki reacted immediately.

In this state, Sawara Kiri is not something they can handle at their level, but his power will eventually dissipate, so they just need to seize the opportunity.
At their current situation, the Otsutsuki team, whose one man was killed in an instant, no longer had any reason to continue holding on, not to mention that they now had sufficient reasons, so they fled without hesitation.

Otsutsuki Urashiki, who looked pale just now, immediately bit into pieces the small fishing basket that had been hanging behind his waist. His body also swelled like Otsutsuki Momoshiki. Not only that, his hands also turned into wings. As his body expanded, his flexibility did not decrease at all. He flapped his wings and flew into the sky.

Only the most miserable Otsutsuki Kinshiki could only stagger and lower his body, burying his whole body in the mud, and using his natural earth escape power to rush out in the direction of the gap in the barrier.

It has to be said that any one of the three who survived the "encirclement and suppression of Sawara Kiri" campaign, even Otsutsuki Mashiki who was killed with one sword before, probably had his own unique skills to escape.

But, can you escape?

Sawara Kiri suddenly took a step forward. The space originally sealed by the "cage" had already had a gap, so it could not stop his steps at all.

With a flash of his body, he suddenly appeared in front of Otsutsuki Momoshiki who was running wildly.

Leg sweep.

"boom--"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki, who was already extremely fast, was hit by this unimaginably heavy blow and flew back at a speed several times faster than when he came. He didn't even have time to see Sawara Kiri's appearance clearly before his body was on the verge of breaking.

Sawara Kiri had no desire to linger at all. He took another step and flew high into the sky.

Otsutsuki Urashiki, who wanted to fly out of the sky just a moment ago, didn't have time to see Sawara Kiri's appearance clearly. His head and neck, which were constantly stretched forward, were hit by a sledgehammer and were heavily crushed.

"Fuck!"

Like a falling bird, it smashed heavily into the position where Otsutsuki Momoshiki had been before, and overlapped with him.

The most difficult one to deal with is Jin Shi who sneaked underground.

That huge body, even though its escape technique was a little slow, was about to touch the edge of the cage.

However, before he could break through the passage in front of him, the huge body deep underground suddenly felt a clear vibration, as if a giant raised his foot and stepped hard in front of him.

The entire charred earth sank several meters deep.

Before he could react, he saw a seemingly slender arm plunge into the deep ground with a "puff". The terrifying force did not allow people to even have the slightest room to react. Otsutsuki Kinshiki's huge body was pulled out by the scruff of the neck like a young kitten.

Then, with a whistling sound, it swept towards the two Otsutsuki who were stacked together.

"boom!"

There was a dull explosion.

Amid the howling dust and smoke, the three men already looked despairing.

Sawara Kiri just stood quietly at the gap in the cage, looking at them with a serious gaze.

The flames wrapped around the surface of the blade in his hand became more and more fierce.

"Bastard!"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki struggled to get up from the ground. The moment he shouted, his face was distorted, and one could faintly see the fear and despair in the depths of his eyes.

At this moment, they no longer had a chance of escape.

In this horrible despair, there was only one thing they could do.

resistance!

Resist with all your might.

The flames on Sawara Kiri's body became increasingly calm, but the blade in his hand became darker and darker, and he slowly raised the blade.

Although this power is not yet proficient, it should be enough if it is just to barely swing the blow.

It was as if she had seen through his intentions, or perhaps she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

At this moment, Otsutsuki Momoshiki no longer had the thought of risking his life to escape. Instead, he raised his hands high like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, his eyes full of ferocity.

"Urashiki, I can only buy one second!"

"quick!"

At the same time, without anyone's instructions, Otsutsuki Urashiki, with blood still in his mouth, took out a small pink turtle from his waist. He completely ignored Momoshiki, who was at the same level as him, and recited something quickly and softly in this commanding tone.

"Om-"

The eyeball in Momoshiki's palm suddenly opened, with a bit of bloodshot, and the golden Samsara Eye burst out with supreme pupil power that was close to the peak that his body could endure.

"High Emperor Spiritual Venerable"

Even the weakest among them, Otsutsuki Kinshiki, stretched out his hand and firmly blocked Urashiki behind them.

Then, Sawara Kiri was seen holding up the blade.

Swing a knife.

"Zanka no Tachi: North: Ashes of Heaven and Earth"

next moment.

The familiar darkness, like ink, permeated the vision of the three of them. Even the Byakugan and Samsaragan, with a 360-degree field of view, could no longer see any other substance.

All his eyes could see was the knife in front of him.

The pitch-black blade that looked like the end fell so slowly, but the terrifying power it unleashed was beyond the reach of any of them.

That is the domain that belongs exclusively to the gods, to Otsutsuki Shibai.

"call."

The sound of the blade falling was so light.

"Boom--!"

However, the unbridled burst of flames destroyed the peaceful final mood.

The entire dark scorched earth seemed to be swept by a swirling hurricane. The temperature was completely beyond the planet's tolerance and directly wiped out all the matter within a few hundred meters in front of it. The exploding flames filled the entire area covered by the "cage". The chakra that was broken due to the inability to control the force was affected by the shattering of the surrounding golden barriers.

One, two.
Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the "cage", and then melted and dissipated quickly like ice burned by a candle.

"Snapped!"

All broken into pieces.

Otsutsuki Momoshiki, who was in the front line of this blazing pressure, tried his best to release his own unique eye technique.

"Gao Huangchan Lingzun" was in an overloaded state, absorbing as much of the fireworks spreading in front of it as possible, quickly converting them into the most basic chakra and swallowing them into the body.

However, how could he withstand this level of power?

It took less than 0.1 second for his body to expand and grow rapidly. His pale skin turned red under the power. It was unknown whether it was due to overload or simply burnt by the high temperature. Then his stomach also swelled. His body grew from 1.9 meters to 2 meters and 3 meters.
Half a second later, the surface of the skin all over the body cracked as if it could not bear it anymore, like a water ball with countless holes pierced, leaking a stream of fire that was enough to burn a human to death, and the whole body turned into charred black.

The one-second promise he made was impossible to fulfill.

Immediately after he was burned to pieces was Otsutsuki Kinshiki, who was struggling to block behind him with his earth escape technique.

That seemingly huge body is not even as big as Momoshiki's.

However, the aftermath spread in an instant, and he was instantly burned into charred bones.

Seeing his two companions being burned into this state right in front of him, Otsutsuki Urashiki's originally scarlet eyes seemed to be torn by blood.

However, even in such an urgent situation, there was no hope of escape.

With a ruthless heart, he immediately turned around and used the space-time properties of "犂" to forcibly tear open a dark passage in this space.

At the same time, his hands suddenly reached out towards the charred bodies of the two men.

"Zheng!"

The pitch-black blade finally fell on him, cutting him in two from the waist, and swept away along with the rushing flames, all rushing into the depths of the boundless passage in front of them.

Even with such a result, Urashiki, whose face was burnt black, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips with difficulty.

next moment.

The roaring stream of fire ran through the entire passage, like a mighty flood, suddenly destroying the forest within dozens of kilometers in front of it.

The caravan and Kono and others, who were dozens of kilometers away, seemed to have noticed something and suddenly raised their heads towards the distance.

Then, they suddenly stopped where they were, staring in amazement at the knife that was like a fire dragon that swallowed up their entire field of vision and tore a stream of charred flames at the far end of the horizon.

Everyone opened their mouths in shock.

"Is this the power of Lord Sawara?"

Looking down from the sky.

The originally intact forest was split in half by this powerful blow of the knife. Even the clouds in the sky that were accumulated by the high temperature were split into two, with a small part in the middle.

Sawara Kiri quietly looked at the empty land in the distance, with only a charred mark that was hundreds of meters wide and countless kilometers long running through everything in front of him.

However, there was no trace of satisfaction on his face, instead his brows were slightly frowned.

"There is one less."

Sawara Kiri was keenly aware of this.

If there is even a trace of energy creature like the Otsutsuki left, it is possible for them to come back to life.

He raised his head and felt the sudden ripples in space that appeared thousands of kilometers away. He let out a long sigh and looked down at the charred black knife in his hand.

"After all, this power does not belong to me, and my control is still too poor."

Sawara Kiri thought to himself, and suddenly gathered all the surging power in his body, compressed it all into the black knife in his hand, and slowly inserted it into the scabbard.

In an instant, the aura floating on the surface of his body became somewhat calmer again.

Only the burnt clothes on his upper body could prove that he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.

Let’s keep this knife for now.

It's not just for Otsutsuki Urashiki who is not dead yet.

It is also for travelers from other world lines who may appear from nowhere and at any time.

He is enough to be the only traveler in this world.

As Sawara Kiri thought about this, his sense of vigilance grew stronger.

He took two stabs but still couldn't kill her completely
The power of the Otsutsuki is simply too dangerous.
