From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 267 You only think about yourself
"Om-"

The low blast of the air raid sirens covered all of Konoha, spreading across the empty streets.

Long before receiving the early warning from the front line, the Anbu and Konoha Guard had already transferred all civilians to the underground air-raid shelters. At this time, only a few people were still staying on the periphery waiting for news.

At the moment when the red moon rose, all the members of these teams paused, their bodies stiffened in place, and a clear angular pinwheel pattern appeared on the back of their hands.

The situation inside the underground air-raid shelter was even more chaotic.

The undermanned Konoha Guard struggled to maintain order in the surrounding area, but the noise never ceased.

Even though Konoha had already temporarily requisitioned half of the underground space and even the former headquarters of the Root as a resettlement place for the villagers, the hundreds of thousands of civilians who squeezed in at once still made the air in this large underground space filled with turbid air. Everywhere you look, there is a mess, and from time to time there are a few people trying to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

Some of them were just attracted by money or beauty, while others were spies planted in Konoha by other villages in advance.

However, in troubled times, severe punishments are called for. In such an emergency, the members of the Konoha Guard will naturally not show mercy.

Nara Shikaku, the temporary village commander, stood at the door waiting anxiously. From time to time, the long-wave radio in front of him would receive a few short messages reporting on the battle situation on the front line.

However, since a while ago, the radio station has not received any news.

Not only the front line, but even the several outposts they set up outside the village had no response.

Even though they have enough confidence in Lord Sawara's strength, after seeing this unprecedented situation, they can't help but feel a little anxious.

He held a piece of white paper tightly in his hand, with only a short message written on it.

【Do not go out】

'What on earth does this mean?'

'What's going on out there?'

Although Nara Shikaku thought this in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel worried.

In this situation, he could only stare blankly at the iron door that isolated them from the outside world, waiting anxiously.

Waiting for results.

The hidden plan laid by Sawara Kiri and others was absolutely correct.

In other villages outside Konoha, the scene had completely changed at this time.

In the Sand Village, where most of the Konoha garrison had just been evacuated, the last few Konoha ninjas responsible for maintaining basic order were now lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the street.

A former Sunagakure jonin who initiated this special operation did not have time to show an ecstatic expression before a red moon appeared in the center of the originally gloomy night.

In an instant, a deep angular pinwheel pattern appeared in the center of the back of everyone's hand.

Everyone lost their minds in an instant and stood there in a daze.

If you look at them with the "Six Eyes", you can see tiny strands of chakra gathering into streams from their bodies, pouring into the center of the boundless sky, and concentrating straight towards the distance.

Whether civilians or ninjas.

This is true wherever the moonlight shines.

Even the Shell Organization, which was buried deep underground and had not been seen for a long time, noticed the changes in the sky.

Otsutsuki Isshiki even appeared in person under the moonlight, watching the scene in silence.

Under the protection of the Six Paths of Samsara, Kakuzu and others behind him were still able to remain conscious, but when they saw this scene, most of them looked confused.

"Master Isshiki, what on earth is this?"

Kakuzu asked subconsciously.

Otsutsuki Isshiki gave an irrelevant answer and sighed quietly: "We, the insignificant human beings, have spent our entire lives trying to get our hands on the power that belongs only to the gods."

"I'm afraid that guy doesn't realize that he is just a pawn in the hands of God."

"pity."

"Humph."

He stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, a mocking smile on his face.

Kakuzu still didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just stood aside quietly. After a long while, he carefully asked:
"Well, Master Isshiki."

"Should we take the initiative now?"

Otsutsuki Isshiki was startled when he heard this, and then immediately glanced at him with some annoyance, but then he forced himself to restrain himself and said hatefully:
"What's going on?"

"My strength has not yet fully recovered!"

Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, and his tone became more cautious than before:
"Then us"

"Continue with the original hidden plan!" Otsutsuki Isshiki said, and strode back to his shell.

Then aren't you just hiding?
Kakuzu secretly complained in his mind, but he also understood.

No matter how the external situation changes, no one can afford to offend this adult now.

Just shrink back first.

The same scene was happening everywhere at the same time.

Iwagakure, Kumogakure, the destroyed Kirigakure, and various small ninja villages.
All those who have chakras.

There is no quantitative change, but it will eventually converge into qualitative change.

The ultimate sublime.

The result of all this was reflected on Uchiha Hikari who was standing in front of everyone, making her entire body seem to be enveloped in a center of pure light, presenting this power that surpassed all human imagination in a form visible to everyone.

The huge tree behind the girl is like a giant signal tower, continuously receiving power from all kinds of humans and creatures from all directions.

Until all the great power is gathered in those scarlet eyes.

Uchiha Hikaru just stood there quietly, but he made people inexplicably feel a sense of fear.

That is not a sense from the subjective judgment level, but comes from a deeper level, originating from the cellular will, the instinctive trembling of lower-level organisms when facing higher-level organisms.

Uchiha Yayoi could not help but grit his teeth and look forward. The dark Susanoo had already been activated to the third stage, protecting everyone around with difficulty.

But even though she possessed a Mangekyō Sharingan of the same level as the woman opposite, she could clearly feel that the Susanoo she had activated was being constantly eroded by some invisible pupil power under the dark red moonlight, inch by inch, minute by minute, like a scale being weighed down by a weight, and it was uncontrollably falling to the other side.

Even when she had faced several Ōtsutsuki before, she had only ever felt such a strong sense of oppression in front of Shibai alone.

No matter how reluctant she was to admit it, Uchiha Yayoi was clearly aware of it.

I am no match for the woman in front of me.
The only one who could stand safely in front of her was Sahara Kiri.

Relying on the "Unlimited Technique" that was activated instinctively to block out all eye power that could interfere with the light in a selective manner, Sawara Kiri still looked calm. Even when he saw with his "Six Eyes" countless chakras pouring into Uchiha Hikari's body in front of him, his expression did not change at all.

On the contrary, Uchiha Guang was a little surprised.

She has already controlled several large and small ninja villages, and the total amount of chakra contained in her body is no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.

Even the strongest Nine-Tailed Fox is incomparable to it.

However, after activating "Sealed Tsukuyomi", she clearly felt that the total amount of chakra she possessed had increased several times in one go, far exceeding her previous expectations.

This power was so huge that it was difficult to control that even her eyes could not help but glow with a bright light. The terrifying aura wrapped in a hurricane-like explosion spread continuously in all directions, forming a chakra column composed entirely of chakra that rushed straight into the sky.

The corners of the girl's lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but smile.

She stretched out her hand in the direction of Sawara Kiri:
"fog."

"Did you see it?"

"The world is now at peace."

"War and conflict will cease to exist wherever the moonlight reaches."

"As long as I gather all the power into one person, the remaining people will live the peaceful life they dream of, just as they have always desired." "We no longer need to continue fighting."

"As long as this technique can last, we can live forever."

"Is that all?"

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was speaking excitedly, Sahara Kiri suddenly interrupted her and sighed softly.

The girl was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard this and looked at him in confusion.

"What a fragile peace."

Under the gazes of everyone, Sawara Kiri walked towards her step by step, with no intention of stopping the words.

"Peace? For a lifetime?"

"How confident are you that you said this?"

"It's just a control-type eye technique. Once it's out of control, it's completely out of control. Even now, right in front of you, there are still tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas hiding deep underground on our front line. They can't be covered by your gaze at all and are still moving freely."

"With someone like you, do you have the confidence to shoulder the lives of everyone in the ninja world?"

Listening to Sawara Kiri's words, Uchiha Hikaru's expression froze for a moment, and even the false wish of 'peace has been achieved' seemed to have a cold crack.

She subconsciously wanted to deny:
"It's just that"

Unfortunately, Sahara Kiri did not give her a chance to refute, but continued:
"Just what? A fish that slipped through the net?"

"what about me?"

"I'm standing right in front of you."

Sawara Kiri stopped and stared at Uchiha Hikari in front of him quietly from a distance, his tone calm:
“Don’t say what you can’t do.”

"Be it a lifetime or world peace."

“That’s such a heavy word.”

"Light."

"You are a person who only thinks about yourself."

These were apparently very ordinary words, but they suddenly broke down the defense of the girl in front of him.

She subconsciously widened her beautiful eyes and looked at the man in front of her with unprecedented coldness.

We share the same ideals, walk the same path, and long for world peace.
All of this is not a reason for the other party to stop me from moving forward on the path I have chosen.

At this moment, Uchiha Guang seemed to suddenly understand something.

It's like I absolutely cannot allow others to question the path I'm taking.

Mr. Wu, the same is true.

"So that's it?"

The girl couldn't help but sigh and lowered her head.

Just as it has happened before on this land.

After all, between ninjas, the conversation will be with swords and knives, blood and fire.

Trying to gain the approval of others through words is ultimately a fantasy like a bubble.

"fog."

Uchiha Hikaru slowly raised his head as he spoke.

However, what appeared in those scarlet eyes again was no longer the love as sticky and deep as honey, but a firm determination without any hesitation.

"I'll make you recognize me."

Upon hearing this, Sahara Kiri suddenly smiled: "That's how it should be."

next moment.

"boom--!"

The collision of red and blue resounded across the land.

The tremendous power hidden deep within the two people's bodies is like two seas suddenly pouring into a sunken valley, reflecting each other with different colors.

But what appeared to others was only the light that filled their entire field of vision.

Even the dark sky is illuminated by this boundless brilliance.

After a moment of shock.

The two of them took a step forward at the same time.

"Boom!"

The heavy footsteps staggered onto the ground, leaving a deep mark on the fragile surface.

The kunai and the short sword clashed with each other, and at the moment when the blades, wrapped in chakra, collided with the space, there was even a thin membrane in between.

Although it clearly did not touch at all, a circle of diffused cloud suddenly broke out in the center of the surrounding atmosphere, turning into extremely sticky.

Sawara Kiri did not stop his movements for a moment. He held the kunai upside down and slashed along the blade, while his other hand was raised in a palm position, pointing at the opponent's jaw.

Before he could stretch out his arm, the dagger in the girl's hand had already pushed aside the tip of the kunai and stabbed forward fiercely.

But before he could use up all the strength in his hands, a huge force suddenly came from his chest and abdomen.

Sawara Kiri supported himself with his toes and turned around, then he instantly retracted his palm push and suddenly kicked forward.

The advantages of height and long legs were fully demonstrated in the extremely close range of physical combat. Even though the tip of the knife was obviously longer than his arm, it could only stay an inch in front of his chest for a moment, and then the girl's whole body was thrown out by this blow.

Uchiha Hikaru gritted his teeth and steadied his body in mid-air, rolling over and pressing his palms on the ground several times to stop the retreating force. His scarlet eyes kept shrinking, trying to catch Wu's figure, and his hands quickly formed seals.

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

The flames that suddenly gushed out of its mouth, with the blessing of a huge amount of chakra that was so terrifying that it surpassed that of most tailed beasts, exploded into a fire far beyond the scale of an ordinary person.

The rushing dark red was like a huge wall that blocked the entire edge of vision, pushing horizontally towards the direction where Sawara Kiri was. No matter whether it was the ground under the feet of the two or the dense forests around them, they were all crushed into a deep charred black like grass leaves under a tsunami, and spread directly in the depth for several kilometers.

However, when the flames dissipated, Uchiha Hikaru's sight suddenly disappeared from Sawara Kiri's sight.

'where? ’

Scarlet kaleidoscopes whirled like pinwheels, but the flat open ground was empty.

As if she suddenly thought of something, the girl turned around abruptly.

In an instant, the dark blade edge suddenly came into her eyes.

"Zheng!!"

The harsh sound of metal friction echoed between the two of them.

A deep and dark shield blocked both sides.

At this moment, Uchiha Hikaru no longer dared to hesitate, and with all his strength, the dark red Susanoo suddenly expanded at an unprecedented speed and directly condensed into the fourth stage.

At the same time, a sword and shield that had never been seen before appeared in her Susanoo's hand.

Looking at the weapon in her Susanoo's hand, Sawara Kiri seemed to remember something and was very interested:

"The Totsuka Sword and the Yata Mirror?"
