From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 247: Rivals Across Time and Space

The moment the sword passed by, a blazing fire dragon followed the roaring hurricane and whizzed past, following the trajectory of Sawara Kiri's figure, leaving a charred hole on the large area of ​​land behind him, emitting a rumbling sound.

Sawara Kiri still maintained the posture of sheathing the sword and slowly exhaled.

The burning pain transmitted from all the cells in his body forced him to remain in this posture for a few seconds before he could barely regain the ability to move from the stiffness. He turned his head and looked at the body lying in the middle of the charred ravine behind him.

After falling to the ground, the headless body of An Zhiju squirmed twice almost instinctively like an earthworm. Large pieces of pure white gelatinous polymer appeared on the surface of the gap on its neck, which continued to condense into the shape of tentacles and tried to connect with each other in the direction where the head fell.

However, it had only extended less than ten centimeters when it was blocked by some unusual rules, as if it had hit the surface of an invisible wall. A tiny flame suddenly ignited and burned the top of the surface of the synapse extending from the tentacle, making a sizzling sound.

Because he only used one strike of the sword, the fire dragon that appeared in the eyes of the people around him at that moment seemed like an illusion, as if it was just a condensation of his spirit.

However, Sawara Kiri was very clear that it was not an illusion.

His palm stroked the second katana at his waist.

The handle and scabbard of the knife looked plain and simple, and even the blade was pure silver-white like a mirror. Judging from the style alone, it seemed to be much worse than the B-level Black Knife Qiu Shui.

However, when it comes to its status, it is the exclusive weapon of the protagonist in the old classic animation "Shakugan no Shana", symbolizing the "fire of heaven's calamity" and is specially used to kill the monster "Mistis" that transcends the limitations of time and space and survives on the power of human existence. It has a great power at the level of "rules".

Most importantly, the owner can choose the time to use it, giving Sawara Kiri a chance to show weakness to the enemy.

He had tried it before.

Neither Yayoi's Susanoo nor Kushina's Kurama robe could withstand the sharpness of this sword.

However, before actually fighting against An Zhiju, he was still a little nervous.

Fortunately, Zhidian Zha Na did not fail at the critical moment.

"call--"

Seeing that the headless corpse on the ground finally began to gradually disintegrate and turn into the most basic gray-white inorganic matter, Sawara Kiri finally let go of the huge stone in his heart.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a figure rushing into his arms like an arrow, making a dull 'bang' sound.

"fog!"

"Ngh. It hurts, it hurts!"

Looking at Yayoi who bumped into him, Sahara Kiri suddenly cried out in pain and quickly patted her on the back, signaling her to let go quickly.

Uchiha Yayoi was startled when she heard this, and her eyes, which were red due to nervousness, could not help but freeze. She immediately skillfully pulled open his clothes and looked inside.

Then, under Sawara Kiri's clothes, large patches of dark red blood were seen from the bottom of her skin, just because of the blow just now, and her whole body was soft, as if she had no strength at all.

"Fog?! What's going on?"

Yayoi's heart couldn't help but tense up again.

God knows whether Mr. Wu used any forbidden techniques to squeeze his body in order to reach that level of strength.

She was indeed a little reckless just now.

Seeing Yayoi's pale and nervous face, Sahara Kiri felt warm in his heart. However, if he joked in this situation, he didn't know what she would do, so he naturally gave up the idea of ​​teasing her and whispered to comfort her:
"It's okay, it's just that the chakra is over-refined."

"With Tia here, I'll be almost fully recovered in a week or two."

After hearing what he said, Miss Yayoi's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but she was obviously more cautious in touching him than at the beginning. She took the initiative to come to his shoulder and held up one of his hands.

“You don’t have to be so careful.”

Sawara Kiri murmured a few words, but Miss Yayoi, contrary to her usual behavior, warned like a mother:
"Fog, be obedient."

Sawara Kiri immediately stopped talking.

He was supported by Yayoi and walked forward, while he looked at the panel prompt that had just lit up on the system.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did he was shocked.

"Sawara Book of Friends: Acquired Character 'Ōtsutsuki Shibai (Outer World Line)'"

"Heart knot points +5"

"Bond level increased↑"

"Otsutsuki Shibai (outside) bond level: five → six"

"Otsutsuki Shibai's (outside) knot (deep) - the second confrontation"

"Just one more time, just one more time! I will definitely defeat that inferior creature! The man who trampled on the light of God!"

"Actually, we lost again?"

"A bond is formed, a rival that transcends time and space"

"Special Reward: You can randomly select one [SS-level ability]"

"Achieving a bond: the common destiny of gods and humans"

"Special Reward: You can randomly select one [SS-level talent]"

"Look, what's so good about having sex with a woman? Or is the big gift bag given by my brother enough?"

Looking at these shallow lines of himself, Sawara Kiri's blue eyes widened and even his pupils shrank significantly.

He completely ignored Sister Tongzi's nonsense and subconsciously stared at the lines of handwriting.

Level five bond?
when?
I?
When he noticed the words 'Otsutsuki Shibai (outside)' on the prompt panel, he suddenly understood something.

Yes, bond is the recognition between one person and another.

Because Otsutsuki Shibaai's point of identification is still with him, he inherited the bond from the original world line.

By the way, I also resolved a deep-seated knot, "The Second Confrontation".

This knot in his heart can be said to be the easiest one he has ever gotten rid of since he activated the system.

I don't even know when it was opened.

I didn't expect that there would be such benefits after winning this game.

As Sawara Kiri thought about it, her heartbeat quickened significantly.

Yayoi, who was supporting him as he walked back, seemed to sense his sudden excitement and subconsciously turned around to ask:
"Fog? What's wrong?"

"Yeah, it's okay."

With an obvious smile on his face, Sahara Kiri whispered, "After this battle, I see an opportunity for a breakthrough."

"After returning, my strength should be able to be greatly improved."

Uchiha Yayoi was stunned when he heard this, and looking at his happy look, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up:

"You have to wait until your injuries are healed before you can practice."

"of course."

Sawara Kiri also knew that her current physical condition was not suitable. Although there were mostly no accidents when she accepted her abilities before, what if something unexpected happened?
He is the cautious second generation of the ninja god.

Naturally, your life should come first.

While they were being affectionate with each other, Kushina was in the distance, hugging her arms and looking like she was about to get goosebumps:
"Hey, Minato! Look at them."

"They haven't even gotten married yet, but they already look like an old married couple."

"Don't learn from Yayoi!"

"Eh?"

Minato looked weird, "Isn't that good?"

Suddenly, Kushina's expression when she looked at Minato became a little subtle. No wonder Minato and his grandmother looked more and more alike recently. Did he already advance their relationship to the mode of an old married couple in his mind?
"Ugh."

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Kushina put her hands on her hips and sighed about something unknown.

However, since it's Minato, there's nothing we can do about it.

"Whoosh-"

While they were still muttering, Mr. Orochimaru on the side had already shot out like the wind at an unprecedented speed, rushing into the ground that was gradually covered with ice and snow, grabbing the two parts of An Shibauri's body, and quickly shooting out countless small snakes, collecting the scattered body fragments around.

The standard attitude of a fanatical scientific expert.

Really dedicated.

But time waits for no one.

"buzzing"

After An Zhiju's body fell to the ground, this huge world of ice and snow inexplicably began to shake slightly.

At first, Minato Namikaze thought it was an illusion caused by the drastic change in sense of space.

But as time went on, this feeling became more and more obvious.

His expression began to tense.

At this time, Orochimaru, who had already collected all the materials, returned to his usual leisurely attitude and said:

"Minato, go back."

"This world won't last much longer."

"Lord Orochimaru?"

Namikaze Minato looked incredulous.

Sahara Kiri had also been helped to the front by Yayoi, and said calmly: "This world is not the real world, but an illusory world created by Otsutsuki Shibai with his eye power."

"The actual size of the entire planet is about the size of an ordinary asteroid."

"It can hold on until now only because that guy's pupil power is strong enough."

As he spoke, his voice couldn't help but carry a hint of sigh: "In terms of absolute strength, he is indeed much stronger than me."

No one knew the outcome of the battle just now better than Sawara Kiri.

Even Otsutsuki Shibai, who descended as a puppet, is still superior to him.

This severely suppressed his arrogance.

but.

His eyes turned to the two prompts on his panel.

What will happen next may not be certain.

The next moment, a group of people, led by Minato Namikaze, leaped back to the ninja world.

Soon after, this world completely frozen by ice and snow gradually began to disintegrate.

The atmosphere then disintegrated, lava covered the surface of the earth, and the water vapor solidified at extremely low temperatures also spread into the vast outer space.

The whole world turned into a wasteland again.

It once again became one of the most inconspicuous meteorites in the asteroid belt and disappeared in the sea of ​​meteorites like it.

On the other side, Konoha.

Ever since Sawara Kiri disappeared and the village became quiet again, Tsunade and others have led a group of young Genin who participated in the Chunin Exam back to the village.

In fact, as early as Tsunade sensed the strong chakra erupting from the center of the village, they had already set off, and entered the village just in time when Sawara Kiri and others disappeared.

When Tsunade heard the relevant information from the ninjas around her, she suddenly became furious.

Good job, Sawara Kiri, and Orochimaru!

You two bastards, you kept such a big thing hidden from me?!

Is she still the Fourth Hokage?

That's Otsutsuki!

However, after the anger passed, an intense worry followed.

This time, not only Sawara Kiri disappeared, but even Orochimaru, the stabilizing force, also disappeared into that unknown space. Only Jiraiya, the intelligence chief, was left, and he was seriously injured, making her feel inexplicably empty as if no one had to rely on him.

This was the first time she faced such a situation since becoming Hokage.

But from this small detail, it can also be seen that this time, these two bastards, Sawara Kiri and Orochimaru, can be said to have given it their all.

How powerful are the opponents they face?
Tsunade didn't know.

Also because of this strong worry, she did not go back to the Hokage Building after she came back. Instead, she simply stood on the planned battlefield space with a group of ninjas, quietly waiting for their return.

Fortunately, Sawara Kiri didn't keep her waiting for long.

In just a few minutes, a group of people appeared out of nowhere at the coordinates where Flying Thunder God Kunai was located.

Seeing that they were safe and sound, Tsunade's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened, and she stepped on her clogs and rushed over habitually:
"Fog! You bastard."

The words are not finished yet.

Her subconscious action of hugging was frozen abruptly under Uchiha Yayoi's suddenly sharp gaze. At the same time, she also realized that she was not at home and there was a large group of subordinates watching her.

Then, the open hands flexibly changed to an examination posture, one hand grasped his arm, and the other hand pressed on his chest. The posture looked like an experienced doctor, and he also spoke in a calm tone:

"How did you get hurt so badly? What happened to the guy who attacked Konoha?"

"Ok?"

"Luckily you have that little thing inside you, otherwise the over-refining of chakra alone would kill you!"

Looking at her skillful appearance of groping up and down, Uchiha Yayoi couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the three magatama in the center of his pupils turned quietly.

This old woman always makes people feel uncomfortable for no reason.

However, considering that she was examining Wu seriously, the girl forced herself to suppress the emotion in her heart and quietly watched her touch and grab here and there.

Sawara Kiri obviously noticed the small change in Yayoi's expression. He smiled stiffly and subconsciously tried to shift his target. He then focused his eyes on the Konoha crowd that had been surrounding the battlefield and whose number was increasing.

At first, when the ninjas in the front row saw the figure appearing in the center of the battlefield, they all froze for a moment and subconsciously held their breath.

But immediately afterwards, a wave of enthusiastic cheers broke out from the mouths of the ninjas in the front row.

As the news was passed between the front and back rows, the result of victory made the tens of thousands of people in front of them shout like dominoes being gently pushed by fingers, and they burst into earth-shaking shouts.

Sawara Kiri's name resounded through the sky.

"Military morale is available."

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Orochimaru behind him spoke calmly.

"That's natural!"

Tsunade, who had just finished the inspection, looked at the traces of blood gradually oozing out of Sahara Kiri's body, and spoke angrily, saying coldly: "If they want to fight, then I will fight with them to the end!"
