Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 424 On the Eve of the Central Continent Team's Return, I Want to Be Hokage!
What can you do in 24 hours?
It can do many things.

For example, sleeping for twenty-four hours.

Or you might play games all day and drop from Silver to Iron III.

Taking a tour for a day is also a great option.

However, most people are forced to work a day and then check after get off work to see if the damn author is slacking off again with only two updates.

I'll scroll through short videos until late at night, then close my eyes and go to sleep.
But the Central Continent team must make the most of every second in 24 hours!
Fang Yu stared at the scarlet countdown on the Reincarnation Wristwatch, his eyes gradually turning cold.

“We can’t wait any longer.” He looked up sharply at the horizon that was gradually being shrouded in black mist. “Once the global Kayako system merges, we won’t even have a place to hide.”

Li Yingqi frowned: "But there is no pure land left in this world, not even Buddha statues can stop them."

“Then leave!” Fang Yu’s voice was firm and resolute.

Cheng Xiao's eyes widened: "Leave? Captain Fang, you don't mean to think about..."

“That’s right.” Fang Yu’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Since there’s nowhere to escape on the ground, then let’s go to the sky.”

He turned to look at Ma Gu: "Check it out, who on Earth can launch manned rockets right now?"

Ma Gu's fingers flew across the keyboard. After a moment, he looked up and said, "Elon Musk of SpaceX! His Starship just completed its third test flight recently, and theoretically it can carry multiple people into low Earth orbit!"

“Very good.” A ruthless glint flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes. “Then let’s ‘borrow’ one from him.”

SpaceX headquarters, Texas.

Elon Musk stared at the unusual data on the screen, his brow furrowed.

After the global internet outage, his Starlink system became one of the few remaining means of communication.

But at that moment, the constantly flashing alarms on the screen made him uneasy.

"Boss, all signals from Japan and South Korea have disappeared, and large-scale anomalies are also starting to appear in Europe and eastern Asia," the engineer's voice trembled.

Musk was about to speak when suddenly!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the headquarters door was smashed open by an invisible force!

Amidst the smoke and dust, seven figures slowly walked in.

The leader was a black-haired youth, surrounded by faint lightning, with eyes as cold and sharp as knives.

"Who are you?!" The security guards raised their weapons, but the young man simply raised his hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

All the firearms were instantly punctured by the high-voltage current and exploded into pieces!
“Elon Musk,” Fang Yu’s voice was calm but undeniable, “I need your starship, now.”

Musk tried to remain calm: "Impossible! Starship is still in the testing phase; manned flight is extremely risky!"

"Risk?" Fang Yu sneered and tossed a tablet over.

In the video, a dark "tide" is spreading at a visible speed, with pale limbs and twisted black hair. Countless Kayakos are surging into the city from all directions!

"Did you see those things?" Fang Yu's voice was icy. "In twenty-four hours, they will merge into a global monster, and no one left on Earth will survive."

Musk's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Now, you have two choices." Fang Yu held up two fingers. "First, obediently start the starship and take us away. Second..."

The lightning that danced at his fingertips surged, illuminating the entire control center!

"I'll kill you, then drive it away myself."

Three hours later, the Starship Falcon Doomsday Ark stood on the launch pad, fully fueled.

Musk sat behind the console, his face ashen, watching the operators' fingers fly across the keyboard as they typed commands.

Fang Yu stood behind these people, his gaze sharp and intense.

“Listen, this starship is designed to carry a maximum of thirty people, but its life support system can only last for three months at most,” Musk said in a last-ditch effort.

“That’s enough,” Fang Yu interrupted him. “We just need to hold out for thirty days.”

Cheng Xiao, Momo, and the others had already boarded the ship one after another, while Li Yingqi and Zhao Yingkong stood guard at the cabin door, watching the distance warily.

Because Elon Musk needed to know about Kayako, Kayako has started appearing around the area.

Fortunately, the area around the factory was sparsely populated and still within the control of Li Yingqi and Zhao Yingkong, so Kayako did not overpopulate.

However, things always need a catalyst.
When a Kayako accidentally wandered into a Walmart supermarket, it began to reproduce infinitely. Every person who saw a Kayako would generate a new Kayako.

Gradually, the entire area became a playground for Kayako to spread terrifying memes.

The sky was gradually shrouded in black mist, and Kayako's shriek could be faintly heard.

"They're here!" Ma Gu's voice came through the communicator, filled with terror.

Fang Yu grabbed Musk and said, "Time's up, launch!"

"But...my family! I still have so many family members who haven't come yet."

"Stop waiting! We are the last spark of humanity, understand? If you wait any longer, you will extinguish the last hope of all mankind!"

"Start now! Immediately! Right now!"

Musk gritted his teeth and pressed the launch button.

"boom!!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, blazing flames erupted from the stern of the starship, and the immense thrust slammed everyone into their seats.

Through the porthole, Fang Yu saw that the ground was completely submerged by Kayako.

Countless pale arms stretched towards the sky, as if trying to grasp this last hope of humanity.

The starship broke through the clouds, and Earth gradually shrank in view.

"We...really escaped?" Cheng Xiao's voice was somewhat dazed.

Fang Yu did not answer. He looked down at the Reincarnation Watch; the countdown was still going on—[03:23:17].

"It's not over yet," he murmured. "The Supreme God's mission won't be this simple."

------------

On the other side, Konoha Village.

A cold wind suddenly swept across the entire shelter plaza, extinguishing all the torches at the same time.

A huge phantom slowly emerged behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Grim Reaper's pale face devoid of emotion.

Meanwhile, Uchiha U was already suspended three hundred meters in the air, the patterns in his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotating, as if he were watching a comical performance.

"No, this shouldn't be happening." Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips trembled as he could feel the Grim Reaper's fingernails piercing his back.

This forbidden technique, once activated, cannot be stopped, and now... there is no target.

Death roared with hunger, greedily sniffing the scent of souls in the air. Since it couldn't catch the intended sacrifice, the soul of the caster was a good alternative.

Hiruzen Sarutobi staggered and turned around, reaching out to his former subordinates. His skin withered visibly, like tree bark that had been drained of moisture.

A deathly silence fell over the shelter.

The resurrected ninjas turned away, embracing their relatives, while even the most loyal ANBU stood rooted to the spot.
They dared not gamble with the lives of the village, themselves, and their families, to experience another life-or-death separation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's knee slammed heavily into the ground, the crowd reflected in his cloudy pupils.
Those villagers he had sworn to protect, now only had relief in their eyes?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with confusion, but the Grim Reaper had already plunged his pale arm into his chest.
The pain was indescribable, as if every inch of one's soul was being immersed in magma.

In the last moment before his consciousness faded, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not see Danzo's figure.
Did they choose to flee because they saw that the Uchiha's abilities were too troublesome?
That's it
Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

His body fell forward like a broken puppet, his Hokage robes fluttering gently in the night wind like a tattered flag.

Death licked his lips with satisfaction, swallowing the extracted soul into his belly. The phantom gradually dissipated, leaving only a withered corpse and a desolate silence.

"Good death! Good death! Good death indeed! Ahahahahaha!"

Uchiha Yu's roar echoed in the night sky as he slowly landed beside the corpse.

"Next, I'm going to kill those three old bastards: Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura."

The Eternal Kaleidoscope swept across the face of every Konoha ninja.

Who agrees?

Lightning appeared around him.

"Who objects?!"

The night wind blew across the ruins, swirling up a few burning scraps of paper, like a silent funeral.

No one answered, and no one dared to meet Uchiha U's gaze.

They just wanted to get home as soon as possible and end this painful battle.

Uchiha Yu looked towards the more loyal ones, such as the veteran Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

If Akimichi Choza dared to step forward and object, Uchiha U would yell, "Go! Go pick up your arm! I'll make you pick it up!"

Nara Shikaku was a smart man; he stepped forward and said, "You've avenged the Uchiha clan; I hope you won't attack the village again."

There was only pleading, not a threat of mutual destruction.

It seems everyone understands the difference between the village and the Uchiha clan.
“Of course.” Uchiha Yu put away his murderous expression and turned to look at the destroyed village. “Tenzo, I will assist you from now on, and together we will use Wood Release to build houses for the villagers.”

Yamato, who had died at Lei Ying's hands, was resurrected and looked puzzled. "Build, build a house?"

Uchiha Yu smiled.

His laughter was incredibly arrogant!

"I want to show Hiruzen Sarutobi what real power is."

"A qualified filmmaker!"

The villagers and ninjas nearly choked to death on their own water!

Is this kid going to become Hokage?
Is he crazy?

To demonstrate his resolve, Uchiha U stepped over Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse and approached the terrified villagers.

"I will double your quality of life! I will restore Konoha to its former glory!"

"Only in this way can we truly kill someone by destroying their spirit!"

"I'm going to show Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo what it's like to be in management. They've been doing the same thing for years and it's all a mess, while I, a mere kid, can make sure everyone can eat meat and live in a big villa!"

After saying this, he left gracefully.

The villagers were left looking at each other, bewildered and scratching their heads.
Uchiha U didn't rush to search for Danzo and the others, knowing that the three old men couldn't have gone far. Instead, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to the Land of Rain.

After a search and some coercion, Uchiha U finally met Nagato and Konan.

He looked at Nagato, whose black rod had been reinserted into his wheelchair, and shrugged. "I was in a rush and didn't bring any fruit or eggs. Sorry."

Xiao Nan's body trembled uncontrollably, clearly suppressing her anger: "What brings you here!?"

"It's nothing much. I just heard that there's a rogue ninja from Takigakure named Kakuzu in Akatsuki, who wields the Hokuto Ring, so I came here to find him."

Nagato coughed twice. "What if I don't tell you?"

Uchiha Yu sighed, "Then I'll have to start with Ms. Konan."

Nagato glanced at Konan, who was already preparing to attack, gave her a look, and then asked, "What do you want with Kakuzu?"

Uchiha Yu stretched comfortably, and in front of the two of them, he ripped open his shirt, revealing something that shocked Konan and Nagato beyond belief.
Four-colored masks representing wind, thunder, water, and earth!

He pulled his clothes up and said calmly, "Find Kakuzu to complete mine."

"Earth's Resentment!"
