From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 183 Enemies of Life and Death (5k)

"Hoo, hoo"

The breathing was extremely heavy. Just by listening to the heavy breathing that was about to stop, you could tell that this was a dying person.

Otsutsuki Urashiki tried hard to prop up his body, and the tiny powder in his hand spilled onto the ground. The pale shape of something roasted could be vaguely seen in it. Large mouthfuls of blood sprayed onto the ground, staining it with dark red spots.

The surface of the twisted palm was covered with burnt marks that gave off a faint meaty aroma.

"That. Damn, inferior race"

At this time, Otsutsuki Urashiki had lost one eye, and his entire lower body had disappeared. Only the lower half of his body was left crawling on the ground with difficulty, leaving a deep dark red mark on the ground behind him.

He lay on the ground, struggling to maintain his minimum level of life.

After waiting for a while and feeling a slight chakra flow gradually emerging from his body, he suddenly opened his single eye.

It turned into a deep blue six-magatama Rinnegan.

"Heaven's Eternal Stand: Time Rewinds"

In an instant, the light and shadow changed, and his entire body changed from half to a whole body - but compared to his original appearance, he looked much smaller.

Only about ten years old.

"thump."

He was unable to hold on to the ground for a moment and fell headfirst to the ground again.

"Is this the only way to recover?"

When he spoke, even his voice sounded much more childish.

However, Otsutsuki Urashiki's expression was very ugly.

Unlike the development process of humans, all Otsutsuki will be adults after being born from the egg of the sacred tree, which also represents their most basic heyday. As for the subsequent growth, it depends entirely on the various powers drawn from the fruit of the sacred tree.

After using up the last of his power of time and space, Otsutsuki Urashiki barely managed to save his life, but the situation he now faces is even more miserable than Otsutsuki Isshiki who was also beheaded in the past - he now only has the most basic physical fitness of an Otsutsuki member, and even the eye power brought by the fruit of the sacred tree that he once absorbed has completely subsided.

If it takes another thousand years or so, maybe we can get back to the peak, but by then it will be too late.

Unlike others, Otsutsuki Urashiki knew very well what kind of horrible changes would happen in the world in the next short hundred years - the Otsutsuki clan, who ruled this galaxy region, would be slaughtered by the humans whom they regarded as an inferior race - naturally, this also included him who was hiding in the ninja world.

"We must find a way to get rid of him"

"If I can't do this, I will definitely die in twenty years, at most fifty years."

Otsutsuki Urashiki took a deep breath. Although he looked young, he was particularly naive at the moment, but his expression was still heavy and fierce.

However, is there any method in this world that can allow him to recover his strength quickly?

Fruit of the sacred tree? Impossible.

There was too much movement.

No one knows whether that bastard Sahara Kiri still has the ability to unleash the same power as before.

If he discovered me in advance, I would probably be bound up in the laboratory as a specimen for research like my future tribesmen.

This kind of humiliation is something the Otsutsuki clan absolutely cannot endure.

Return to the clan?

Also unlikely.

Not to mention that they now have a direct connection with the Otsutsuki clan, which will cause the future Sawara Kiri to have time and space coordinates for this world and directly cross the world and timeline to attack him. Just saying that with his current fragile body, it is impossible for him to cross the long space distance like a normal Otsutsuki and ask Lord Shibai for help.

No matter how you think about it, it's a dead end.

Otsutsuki Urashiki gritted his teeth and looked at a human survival site not far ahead on the road, his thoughts becoming increasingly heavy.

It seems that there is only one way.

It is not so much about cooperating with the humans in this world, but rather temporarily enslaving these stupid humans.

If he remembered correctly, under the development of Sawara Kiri, future humans also demonstrated quite terrifying abilities, and were even able to fight head-on with ordinary members of the Otsutsuki clan.

This in itself shows that these humans have extremely high potential for development.

As long as he could take advantage of the internal strife among these inferior races and force Sawara Kiri to die in the internal struggle, there was a great possibility that his future would be cut off.

"Humph, the inferior nature of the inferior race."

Xiao Pushi hummed in a childish voice, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

However, a glimmer of hope arose in my heart.

After all, as long as there is no interference from "outsiders" like them, even the future Sawara Kiri cannot interfere with the normal struggle between humans - this is the result they have obtained through many "experiments".

Besides.

Otsutsuki Urashiki looked at the two pieces of "meat" held in his two small palms, and a heavy look appeared in his eyes.

"We have to find them a body."

"It's abominable if I'm the only one."

Xiao Pu Shi cursed softly, but there was nothing he could do.

These two idiots are his only companions in this lonely world.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Otsutsuki clan is not an inferior race. As long as some of their body structure still exists, they can invade through energy and take over the body of another person to give them a new life.

By then, they will not be without the ability to fight.

'But it all has to happen fast enough.'

Xiao Pu Shi thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking about it, the meridians around his white eyes began to bulge slightly, as if he had suddenly sensed something, and the small figure quickly hid in the bushes.

After a while, two tall, dark-skinned ninjas suddenly fell from the treetops and bent down to check the traces on the ground.

"Did you find anything?"

"There are only a few charred marks and bloodstains, and it is almost completely burned."

"Could it be that someone is having a barbecue nearby?"

"Not too possible."

The Kumogakure ninja who spoke up looked solemn, raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance: "Since the perception ninja said there is a spatial fluctuation, it should be correct. It is likely related to the battle over there just now."

Hearing this, the young ninja behind him also became solemn, with a hint of fear on his face, and subconsciously lowered his voice:

"So, that is the power of Sawara Kiri?"

"It is very likely so. The border sensing ninja said that it is not far away, near the border of the Land of Hot Springs."

The older Kumogakure ninja also subconsciously lowered his voice, his eyebrows trembling slightly.

Unlike the young man behind him, he had fought Sawara Kiri head-on and luckily survived.

The scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart, which was like a god's miracle, was enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.

Until now, even if they sensed the opponent's chakra fluctuations not far from the border of their own country, they did not dare to go forward to check, and only dared to come to the nearby edge traces to check.

There is no other reason.

It's too scary.

Although the mark left by the previous slash of sword was only about two hundred kilometers, the sudden burst of light and fire was enough to terrify all the perceptive ninjas within a radius of one thousand kilometers. The flying clouds rushed straight into the sky, as if to tear the sky apart.

As long as you have eyes, you will know that kind of place is definitely not something they can spy on.

"We really still have hope for this kind of monster."

"Shut up!"

Just as the young Kumogakure behind him was groaning in a low voice, the older ninja suddenly raised his voice, turned around and scolded, and said seriously: "No matter how strong he is, he is still a human being. As long as we Kumogakure can preserve ourselves, there will be hope for the future!"

"Isn't that what happened to Hashirama Senju back then?"

"In the end, he died early!"

"We must still have hope for independence!"

"Yes!"

Hearing his teacher speak like this, the young Yunyin immediately became serious.

However, just as the two of them were about to return to the camp to report, they turned around and saw a small little boy with a pair of pure white pupils, timidly poking half of his head out from behind the bushes and leaning towards them.

"This is."

The young Yunyin was stunned at first, and then immediately revealed a look of ecstasy and spoke subconsciously.

However, before he could utter the name, the older Kumogakure in front of him stopped him and glared at him sternly.

When he turned around, his dark face softened again. He bent down and waved in the direction of the little boy, saying kindly:

"Little boy, why are you here?"

"I, I got separated from the caravan."

After just a moment's hesitation, Xiao Pushi spoke weakly - he was really pretending.

The moment they heard this, a little joy suddenly rose in the hearts of both the older and younger Yunyin.

This is a roll of the eyes!

And there is no nasty caged bird above my head.

Could it be the bloodline of the Hyuga clan's caravan that was lost outside?

If we can bring him back to the village.
Thinking of this, the hearts of the two Yunyin began to beat wildly, and a hint of greed flashed in their eyes.

But they didn't notice.

The little kid opposite was also staring at their bodies with covetous eyes.

"Sawara Book of Friends: Character 'Otsutsuki Urashiki'"

"Bond level increased↑"

"Otsutsuki Urashiki bond level: zero → one"

"First time to obtain the lifetime characteristic: Enemy of Life and Death"

"Heart knot points +1"

"Oh no." Looking at the line of words appearing on the panel, Sawara Kiri subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

They gave him a big gift before leaving, so he really has to thank them.

"but."

“Could this mortal enemy be because I actually died once?”

Sawara Kiri looked at this so-called characteristic, revealed a somewhat helpless smile, and gently stroked his flat chest with his hand.

At this time, all the wounds on his chest and torso had been restored to their previous state under the power of the "Zanka no Tachi", and were even strengthened a little by the previous chakra.

However, the feeling of having my heart ripped out before could not be more real.

At that moment, even though he knew he had a trump card to save his life, when he didn't use it and was fully immersed in the battle, he subconsciously thought that his life was really going to end like this.

This experience is invaluable, but also terrifying.

If he didn't have a trump card and was really besieged by four Ōtsutsuki at the same time, death would almost be his inevitable outcome.

Therefore, the arrogance of being "invincible" that was originally forged during the Second Ninja World War was shattered a little, gradually returning to its original state, and with it the desire to further strive for progress.

"The strength is still too weak."

"What's more, the Otsutsuki clan is professional. They beat the younger ones first and then the older ones."

"If this continues."

Sawara Kiri's expression became slightly more solemn.

Although he still had a knife in his hand, it was only enough for a short fight.

If after using this trump card he was still not strong enough to survive being beaten by several Ōtsutsuki, his death would be almost certain.

"My future self is really stingy. It's all mine after all, so what's wrong with a little more?"

Sawara Kiri complained about herself unhappily.

It feels like a student staying up late to finish homework at the end of summer vacation.

But that's just talk.

In the end, you have to rely on yourself to become stronger.

The only thing that worried him now was that he was already strong enough for the profession of ninja.

Even if it was the reincarnation of Hashirama Senju in his prime, Sahara Kiri had absolute confidence that he could survive from his hands. If it was a sneak attack like Kakuzu did, it was not impossible for him to kill the opponent accidentally.

But because of this, all roads ahead are blocked.

You can only rely on yourself to develop.

“It’s hard work.”

Sawara Kiri felt a little sad in his heart.

He was only eighteen years old, and at such a young age he had to shoulder the burden of paving the way for the ninja world.

How difficult is it?

Sawara Kiri shook his head helplessly.

Also.

He raised his head and looked at the scorch mark in front of him that should have spanned several hundred kilometers, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison.

Although no one can put him in jail now, he will probably have to face a long list of compensation issues for the various roads, water trucks, forests and farmlands destroyed along the way.

It's too close to residential areas.

“Land fever.”

Just when he was worrying about how to solve the remaining problems, several figures were already flying towards him in the distance - the direction after the Otsutsuki space moved was not far from the original place.

The people who came were Kono Motoichi and three other team members.

However, when they saw the battle scene in front of them with their own eyes, they all stood there in a daze.

The long charred mark penetrated their entire field of vision like an abyss. Even though they had anticipated that this scene was definitely unusual when they looked at it from a distance, the shock they felt when they saw it with their own eyes was something that was difficult to describe to others.

Before this, these students who had just graduated had only known about the powerful strength of this number one figure in the ninja world from the words of their teachers and others.

But this isn't a ninja anymore, right?!

Finally, it was Harada Kintada who reacted first among the three and quickly walked to Sawara Kiri's side:

"Sir, your injuries are serious."

Before he finished speaking, he had already noticed Sawara Kiri's neat and clean muscles - but his shirt was completely burned, and only his trousers were torn and partially preserved, probably because he used chakra to protect himself.

Obviously, no injuries were left.

"It's okay, it's been solved."

"It's just that there are still some troubles left. We'll deal with it when the time comes."

In front of the students, Sawara Kiri would naturally not show any expression of bitterness and hatred - that was what adults should think about.

Children should live in a carefree environment.

He still has this sense of responsibility.

Therefore, he always maintained a calm expression when he spoke.

But when he paused, he seemed to remember something and said awkwardly: "By the way, do you have the universal capsules with you? All of mine were burned. Can I borrow a set of clothes to wear?"

"Sawara-sama, please wear mine!"

"You brought women's clothing? Lord Sawara, I have matching ninja shoes! They're all new!"

"What's wrong with women's clothing! I'm..."

There was another quarrel among the few people, and they argued for half a day.

It seems that only at times like this will ninjas reveal a bit of childishness that is consistent with their age.

But it's pretty good.

At least Sawara Kiri doesn't have to go out on the road naked.

After the group had left for a long time, he returned to the caravan to cancel the mission, collected traces of the battlefield as quickly as possible and returned to the village.

In the night, blurry figures appeared from a distance.

Not just one or two groups of people, but many teams.

After they appeared, they subconsciously confronted the figure opposite for a while.

The reconnaissance operation did not begin until some kind of tacit understanding was reached and the area searches were separated.

Obviously, this is a team sent by various hidden villages to investigate the situation.

This naturally includes people from Konoha.

However, because they already had enough intelligence, they did not worry too much about the issue of regional searches and each was busy with their own things.

The traces of Sawara Kiri's battle cannot be concealed.

Not to mention the Land of Lightning, which is only a short distance away from the border of the Land of Hot Spring, the ninja villages in several other countries also discovered the aftermath of the battle, which was so horrifying that it shocked the entire ninja world.

What kind of enemy is Sawara Kiri fighting? Why is his power even stronger than before? Does this guy have any limits? What kind of inspiration can his various skills bring to the development of ninjutsu?
All of these are the most precious treasures for each ninja village.

No one can ignore.

At the same time, this battle also gave rise to a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the shadows of each hidden village.

——There actually exists someone in this world who can fight with Sawara Kiri like this.

If it was before Sawara Kiri appeared, they would probably just be shocked.

But now, this is indeed a huge benefit to them.

This represents the hope of escaping the oppression of Sawara Kiri and Konoha!
Unfortunately, they were unable to find anything except the most basic traces.

All were burnt to ashes.

After wave after wave of people left.

Then a slender figure slowly stepped out from the shadows.

Jigen, or Otsutsuki Isshiki, was looking quietly at the charred earth.

It's different from the world seen by ordinary people.

To him, every chakra confrontation that took place here was so conspicuous.

There were still a lot of traces of battle and energy fluctuations in the air.

However, this made him more worried, alert, and even terrified.

"This is."

"Traces of the Otsutsuki pupil technique?"

"And there's more than one."

Cixian stared blankly at the battlefield in front of her.

As early as the moment Otsutsuki Momoshiki and others appeared, he had already noticed their figures. The only thing he didn't expect was that their goal was
It's Sahara Kiri as well? !

Even more shocking is that he won.

Cixian leaned down and touched a burnt mark.

He could clearly feel that it was the remains of an Otsutsuki clan member that had been burned into inorganic matter.

"Not even a trace of chakra that can be transformed into a 'wedge' remains?"

"What exactly is this."

Otsutsuki Isshiki finally realized it.

The body he was targeting didn't seem to be a harmless little white rabbit.
