Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 330 Seal
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning churned and surged within the clouds, leaving the small island in the sea almost in pieces.

Four enormous black portals transformed this area into a square cage, imprisoning this space.
The pink figure hovered in the sky, gazing indifferently at the scene below.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, Sasuke, Naruto, and Hashirama Senju joined forces to besiege Isshiki Otsutsuki.

No matter how powerful Yi Shi is, it's impossible for him to survive among four top masters.

However, before long, the man who had been hiding in this land for thousands of years was already covered in wounds.

At this moment, Yi Shi knelt on the ground, his pair of star-shaped pupils staring gloomily at the four people who surrounded him.

He was surrounded by some kind of spatial magic, preventing him from using spatial teleportation to escape.

Moreover, due to Kaguya Otsutsuki's existence, his information was almost transparent.

Those eyes were fixed on Naruto and Sasuke. Even he was extremely wary of the Yang Release and Yin Release techniques these two possessed, and their combined strength was flawless.

Of the four, only Hashirama Senju was the weakest.

However, no matter how weak the opponent is, they are not ninjas who can be defeated quickly.

and……

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked up at the sky with apprehension.

There's another one there.

Furthermore, he did not sense any aura from the other party.

What does this mean?
This shows that the opponent's strength has completely surpassed that of Isshiki Otsutsuki, to the point that Isshiki can no longer even sense the opponent.

But at this moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki's gaze was fixed on Senju Hashirama.

The other party possesses a pair of Rinnegan eyes and has extremely abundant vitality.

If the other party is used as a pact, then there is still a chance to turn the tide...

Isshiki had considered targeting Sasuke, who also possessed the Rinnegan, but he had a deep-seated feeling that Sasuke's Rinnegan was extremely special, and that if he chose Sasuke, he would die.

But at this moment, there was no time left.

He gave Kaguya Otsutsuki one last hateful look before charging towards Hashirama Senju.

As long as this body dies at the hands of Hashirama Senju, then I can establish a contract with Hashirama Senju.

"He wanted to implant a contract in Hashirama Senju."

"We need to stop him."

Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke calmly, and at that moment she made her move.

Naruto and Sasuke also rushed towards Isshiki without hesitation, transforming into golden and blue streaks of light as they charged directly at Isshiki!
"Successful!"

As his hand was about to touch the black-haired man, a smile unconsciously crept onto Isshiki's lips.

however……

In a blur, the space in front of the man with cascading black hair shattered instantly, and a delicate hand reached out from it.

Upon seeing this, Yi Shi's expression changed instantly, and his body shrank dramatically in an attempt to escape the grasp of that hand.

However, Yi Shi found that no matter how he dodged, that hand always followed him and grabbed at him!

"Oh, I got you."

A figure emerged from that space; it was none other than Sakura, who was there to keep order.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura's hand instantly grabbed the shrunken move!
"what?!"

At this moment, the shrunken form stared in horror at the hand that seemed to cover the sky, wanting to escape, but no matter how it ran, it could not escape the range of that hand!
"Shrink?"

"This ability is getting a bit boring."

Sakura's pale hand clenched tightly around the technique, and she calmly spoke while looking at the technique in her palm.

"you!"

Yishi wanted to say something, but the immense force enveloping his entire body prevented him from speaking. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"He has a small ten-tailed cat."

"If you seal it within your own body, you can enter the Six Paths."

Sakura looked at Hashirama Senju.

"I see."

Hashirama Senju nodded as he looked at the scene before him.

He didn't refuse.

"Haruno Sakura!"

"You'll regret your choice!"

"My clan will not let you get away with this!"

On the verge of death, Otsutsuki Isshiki let out a furious roar of resentment.

How could there be such a person? Even within the Otsutsuki clan, there are very few strong individuals like him. Even if there are, it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years to reach that level.

The human in front of me isn't even twenty years old!

"is it?"

"It's as if the Otsutsuki wouldn't have come if I hadn't killed you."

Sakura calmly glanced at Isshiki Otsutsuki, and with a slight exertion of her palm, all of Isshiki Otsutsuki's bones were shattered and his internal organs were ruptured!
In just a moment, he was dead beyond any hope of survival!

Sakura tossed the Ōtsutsuki, hidden for a thousand years, out like a tattered sack, staring at her own palm.

A surge of chakra flowed through his palm, attempting to seep into his body.

This Otsutsuki Isshiki actually wants to use Sakura as a host for his contract.

Pink chakra burned in his palm, and a roar echoed from the darkness.

At this moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki was finally completely dead.

"You can handle the rest yourselves."

"I am leaving."

She glanced back at Hashirama Senju before her pink figure disappeared from the scene.

As Sakura left, the black portal that had been sealing off the surroundings gradually disappeared.

"Hey, Sakura's leaving already?"

Naruto scratched his head.

"Let's go find that ten-tailed beast."

Sasuke ignored Naruto and looked at Hashirama Senju. Before leaving, Sakura chose to seal the Ten-Tails into Hashirama Senju's body.

Sasuke would naturally lend Hashirama Senju a hand.

"Let's go..."

Hashirama Senju sighed as he looked at Isshiki's corpse on the ground, which had been restored to its original state and turned to ashes.

His eyes held a complex expression.

It's been three years...

He witnessed the country's prosperity, and everyone was getting better step by step.

The people have food to eat and clothes to wear; there is no war, no death, and no oppression.

Although there are still some shortcomings, they are not a big deal compared to the overall situation.

Own……

Is it really wrong?
With Isshiki's death, Hashirama Senju and his companions found the Ten-Tails and successfully sealed it inside Hashirama Senju's body.

As a result, Hashirama Senju successfully entered the Six Paths level.

With his Rinnegan, he was able to easily control the Ten-Tails without much effort.

The death of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki caused no ripples. The only news that day was a weather forecast on television that an unidentified typhoon had struck Uzushima Island. Meteorologists said this was a normal natural phenomenon and that everyone should keep their doors and windows closed and minimize going out.

……

Time flies like water.

Twelve years have passed since Hashirama Senju achieved the Six Paths level.

Naruto has grown from a naive young boy into a reliable man.

It's worth mentioning that after Kakashi got married, Sasuke also got together with Uchiha Hikaru and they had a daughter.

"Hiyu!"

"How are your preparations for the final Chunin Exams going?"

The blond boy with a beard looked at the black-haired girl beside him with curiosity.

"I can definitely do it, but Boruto, just don't embarrass Uncle Naruto."

The black-haired girl named Feiyu looked at her teammates and spoke calmly.

"Hey, why do you say that!"

"You underestimate me."

The boy named Boruto stood with his hands on his hips, looking indignant.

"I wonder if His Majesty will appear in this Chunin Exams." Fei Yu ignored the boy beside her and instead looked at the Hokage Building in the distance with admiration.

"Your Majesty, you don't know?"

Boruto scratched his head, a hint of admiration also appearing in his eyes.

"But the possibility is probably very small."

“Recently, it’s been Uncle Kakashi and Lord Tobirama handling things, and His Majesty hasn’t shown up for several years.”

As Boruto spoke, a hint of disappointment appeared in Hishi's eyes.

"What are you two talking about?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out at that moment.

"mom!"

Fei Yu turned around in surprise.

All that could be seen was a beautiful woman dressed in a dark blue Uchiha clan uniform who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Aunt Guang."

"We're wondering if His Majesty will show up."

Hearing Boruto's words, Hikaru, who was already in his thirties, patted Boruto's head and looked at the cliff behind the Hokage Building with some emotion.

"Maybe……"

……

In a colorful mine, a pink-haired woman stood quietly, gently stroking an iron coffin covered in mysterious patterns.

Twelve years have passed, and time has left no trace on Sakura.

Only in those calm eyes seemed to lie a hint of maturity born of time.

"Have you really decided?"

Besides Sakura, there are three other beings here.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Slug Sage, and Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju looked at the still young pink-clad girl in front of him with a complicated expression.

"After that, I'll leave it to Lord Slug."

Ignoring Hashirama Senju's complicated gaze, Sakura calmly looked at the tiny slug sage standing to the side.

"Please don't worry, Sakura."

The Slug Sage remained as gentle and kind as ever.

Sakura nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Hashirama Senju and said softly:
"Fifteen years."

Do you still think I did something wrong?

Hashirama Senju stared silently at the pink figure before him without uttering a word, and the space fell into a moment of silence.

After a long silence, the man finally spoke:
"you are right."

"After you leave, I will protect this country."

"Anyone... unless I'm dead."

"Don't even think about letting this country suffer the slightest damage."

Looking at Hashirama Senju before her, Sakura smiled slightly.

After fifteen years, this stubborn man has finally come to accept his own beliefs.

"In that case, the country will be in your hands from now on."

"If you find it difficult to handle government affairs, you can ask Kakashi."

"Kakashi has that ability."

Hearing Sakura's words, Hashirama Senju asked, "What if Kakashi were to pass away?"

Six Paths level beings have a lifespan about three times that of ordinary people, so Kakashi's lifespan is naturally not as long as that of Hashirama Senju, who had already achieved Six Paths.

"After Kakashi, there's Shikamaru from the Nara family."

Hashirama Senju continued to ask:
"What happens after Nara Shikamaru?"

Sakura replied, "After Shikamaru, you can consult Konohamaru from the Sarutobi clan."

Hashirama Senju: "What happens after Konohamaru?"

Sakura continued, "Hiyuu of the Uchiha clan is intelligent and quick-witted. She can become Tobirama's apprentice. After Konohamaru, Hiyuu of the Uchiha clan can shoulder the responsibility."

"What happened after Uchiha Hiyori?"

Hashirama Senju continued speaking, only to be met with Sakura's calm gaze.

"After the Scarlet Rain..."

"By then, a hundred years would have passed since the empire was established..."

Senju Hashirama was silent.

By then, the first and second generations of the empire had almost all died out...

Even Tobirama recently fell seriously ill.

"That's all."

"Let's go."

Sakura waved her hand, indicating that Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hashirama Senju could leave.

The two did not speak, but simply left quietly.

"Sakura, why are you doing this?"

The slug fairy looked at the girl in front of him with a puzzled expression.

He sealed himself in this iron coffin, awaiting a certain opportunity to be born in the future.

"Who knows?"

Sakura smiled and gently stroked the mysterious patterns on the iron coffin.

This is the coffin where Uchiha Hikari was originally, which allowed her to live from the Warring States period hundreds of years ago to the present.

Sakura has now meticulously designed this iron coffin to allow the creature inside to live longer, and to draw chakra from the outside and inject it into the coffin, thus granting herself a longer and more enduring life.

Sakura had already modified her original Yang Release ninjutsu into Yin-Yang Release ninjutsu.

Even in their dreams, they continuously strengthen themselves, and their souls also grow stronger.

Sakura has now completely surpassed the Sage of Six Paths, but she has not yet broken through the limit of lifespan.

Why do you want to do this?
There's also an Otsutsuki clan member who forced Sakura to do this.

Otsutsuki Shibaju, also known as the god of the Otsutsuki clan.

Although the original work says he died, Sakura simply doesn't believe that someone who transcends dimensions is dead.

Only by reaching Sakura's current level can one understand how difficult it is to let someone like that die.

Therefore, to prevent no one from being able to withstand her in the future, Sakura chose to seal herself away and continuously grow stronger using Yin-Yang Release ninjutsu.

By the time he is reborn, countless years will have passed in the ninja world.

It could be decades, or it could be centuries...

It could be... several thousand years, or... tens of thousands of years.

Why go to such lengths?

Sakura didn't know, but having lived in this ninja world for over thirty years, she wasn't averse to it.

After all, this power was given to her by the ninja world.

This ninja world nurtured Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tobirama Senju, Naruto, Sasuke, her father, mother, future, and many others Sakura knew well.

So what's wrong with using this power to protect the ninja world from all worries?

Even if I ultimately fail, I have done my best.

Sakura has a clear conscience.

But for many, this farewell is likely a final goodbye...

Sakura sighed as she thought of this.

"Lord Slug, I'm counting on you after me."

"If Kaguya makes any unusual moves, you can wake me up."

Sakura looked at the Slug Sage.

"Okay, leave everything to me."

The slug immortal looked at the girl before him, and for the first time, sadness appeared in his eyes.

Under the Slug Sage's gaze, Sakura lay down in the iron coffin. As the coffin lid closed, the iron coffin disappeared from its original spot with a puff of white smoke and arrived in the Wet Bone Forest.
