I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

He wants to create a world with Lin.

"Unification is imminent. Right now, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are no match for Konoha. They still have Jiraiya, and Fugaku and Shisui haven't made a move yet. On the other side, there's only A and Onoki. They're no match for Konoha!"

Jue said calmly, "At this point, I already have to decide what to do and use my backup plan."

He had calculated everything, even taking into account all sorts of unexpected events that might follow.

But what they didn't expect was that another prodigy would emerge from the Uchiha clan.

If this continues, he'll probably unify the ninja world, and he definitely can't just sit idly by!

"Oh, does that mean all nine tailed beasts will be taken back by Konoha?"

The fact that the Tailed Beasts were scattered was actually advantageous to them. If they were all in Konoha, unless the Akatsuki attacked Konoha as a group, they would still be no match for them.

While the Akatsuki members are indeed very strong individually, Byakuya is simply too powerful now. In addition, Konoha has many Kage-level ninjas. If someone dares to go to Konoha, they will likely suffer a terrible death.

"Obito, what do you think we should do?"

He didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Obito, clearly handing over the choice to Obito.

After hearing Zetsu's words, Obito also fell into an eerie silence.

What should I do?

"we'll see."

Without giving Zetsu an answer, he still had his own ulterior motives. Black Zetsu gave Obito a meaningful look, and at the same time understood that Obito was no longer a reliable ally.

I thought that since things had come to this point, Obito would choose to revive Madara, but he didn't. So I can only rely on myself.

"I see."

Juejue didn't say much more, and the two old foxes each had their own calculations in their hearts.

On the battlefield.

Orochimaru, who was mixed in with the Allied Shinobi Forces, was so shocked by this scene that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Is this the Wood Release technique I researched back then?

He had studied Wood Release, but this is a completely different concept.

They developed their own Wood Release for landscaping, but someone else's Wood Release directly suppressed the five tailed beasts. And is this Sage Mode from Shikkotsu Forest?

Orochimaru's eyes flickered. Perhaps it was a summoning scroll given to him by Tsunade?

After thinking about it, Orochimaru suddenly felt a little discouraged. He had already prepared to take over Byakuya's body, but the fighting power that this guy was showing now seemed to be quite similar to that of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju back then.

And will this guy prove his guess right?

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with excitement; he suddenly wanted to see the changes in Byakuya.

When the Konoha members saw Byakuya's Wood Release, they were initially surprised, but then they had a strange, indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Back then, Byakuya seemed to have accused Danzo of researching Hashirama Senju's cells. Now that Byakuya knows Wood Release, does that mean that Byakuya is also conducting research in secret?

"Idiots, what are you thinking? That's Sage Art: Wood Release! It's not even mentioned in the Scroll of Seals! So Tsunade must have known about this Wood Release. This scroll has always been kept by Tsunade, which means this guy awakened Wood Release on his own!!!"

Jiraiya's words instantly calmed the minds of the people in Konoha.

Yes!

The Sage Art: Wood Release. Although they hadn't seen the contents of the Book of Seals, it was highly likely that this technique wasn't recorded there.

The fact that Bai Ye was able to use this move indicates that he possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan.

"Does the Hokage have the bloodlines of the Senju and Uchiha clans?"

"Holy crap... this guy has Senju clan blood?"

A strange look flashed across Fugaku Uchiha's face; for a moment, he didn't know how to put it.

Did the Uchiha clan cheat on their partner, or did the Senju clan betray them?

Back when Byakuya was the head of the Uchiha clan, they had no idea that he had the bloodline of the Senju. It's a shame that someone with the Senju bloodline became the head of the Uchiha clan. Fortunately, the Senju clan is now practically extinct.

Listening to the discussions among the ninjas in the rear, Bai Ye smiled slightly. Revealing his Wood Release was something Bai Ye had planned long ago, since this ability was bound to be exposed sooner or later anyway.

There are no traces of experimentation on me; I am all a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths. Isn't it normal for me to have a bit of your ability?

Looking at the Allied Shinobi Forces ahead, a hint of mockery flashed across Bai Ye's lips. He was now quite curious to see what these people planned to do.

Among the crowd, Asuma stared at Bai Ye with resentment, his heart filled with jealousy. He hadn't expected that Bai Ye would even possess Wood Release.

Why do all the good things happen to Bai Ye?

Mangekyou Sharingan, Wood Release, Flying Thunder God Technique, powerful Lightning Release, and the title of Hokage—he even has an incredibly handsome face.

If I have all of these, then can I also have red?

However, before Asma could think any further, he felt a dark shadow flash past him, and then his neck was instantly grabbed, and he was pulled to the middle of the battlefield.

"Asuma, you can really run! You actually managed to run all the way to the Allied Shinobi Forces' side?"

Bai Ye smiled as he looked at Asuma. In fact, Bai Ye himself was not very familiar with Asuma.

My understanding of him is limited to the anime. He is considered an enemy because he has an irreconcilable conflict with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing Asuma's hateful eyes and the way he seemed to want to speak, Bai Ye threw him to the ground to see what he had to say.

Asuma was thrown to the ground by Byakuya, gasping for breath. For a moment, he felt as if his neck had been snapped. After recovering, Asuma clenched his fists and said hatefully, "Byakuya, you bastard! You killed a Hokage and don't deserve to be the Kage of Konoha! Our Kage are always chosen, not killed! And for killing a Daimyo, everyone will despise you from now on!"

His deeds will henceforth be condemned.

For the past thousand years, everyone has been like this, except for Byakuya who killed the Daimyo.

He was a tyrant!

"Oh? Hiruzen Sarutobi was chosen? Wasn't he designated by Tobirama Senju?" Byakuya said, then suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Asuma, asking, "So, the reason you left Konoha was because you had a good father, which is why you weren't considered a rogue ninja and even became one of the Twelve Guardians? Having a Hokage as a father really gives you a lot of leverage!"

Bai Ye's sarcastic tone made Asuma's face extremely uncomfortable.

The reason he left was because he couldn't stand people saying he relied on his father, and he also had some conflicts with Hiruzen Sarutobi. Plus, he was quite rebellious at the time, so Asuma left without thinking.

Looking back, I'm actually a little scared. Just like Bai Ye said, if he didn't have this good father, he would have been a rogue ninja.

But that doesn't mean Asuma wants this matter to be brought up!

After Bai Ye said those words, the expressions on the faces of the Konoha ninja behind him and the Allied Shinobi Forces opposite him were incredibly varied.

The situation is even more similar in Konoha. This scene seems a bit familiar. Before Byakuya killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, he also did a lot of verbal sparring. What do you call this? This is called killing someone and then destroying their spirit!

"Heh, I submitted my departure documents to the village after I left; it's just a matter of right..."

Although Asuma felt a little guilty, he still defended himself, saying that he had only rebelled and left, and that he had indeed submitted some information back later. At the same time, as if he had grasped something, he pointed directly at Jiraiya behind Byakuya and said, "If this counts, then wouldn't all three Sannin be considered traitors?"

Orochimaru definitely defected, but Jiraiya and Tsunade were also away for years, weren't they?

Upon hearing Asuma's words, Jiraiya's face instantly turned green.

He gave us a heads-up before he left. I don't know if it was Tsunade, but she definitely said something before she left. Asuma, on the other hand, just left without saying a word!

"They are the Legendary Sannin. Who are you? Do you even deserve to be called one? If you had the strength of the Legendary Sannin, I would grant you special permission to join the Allied Shinobi Forces right now without being considered a rogue ninja!"

puff

It's unclear who started this, but as soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, someone couldn't hold back any longer.

That's fucking hilarious!

What kind of Sannin are you talking about?

Even Orochimaru, who was mixed in with the Allied Shinobi Forces, was starting to lose his composure. If this meant he could go back, wouldn't that mean he could?

Why don't we go back? If we go back, we can investigate the secrets surrounding Bai Ye.

Of course, this was just Orochimaru's thought. If he really wanted to go back, he definitely wouldn't. His reputation in Konoha was already ruined, and he would have to be a fool to go back.

"So Asuma has already decided to betray the village, right?"

The joking ended, and Bai Ye's smile faded as he looked at Asuma with a calm expression.

In his view, Asma was doomed to die today.

"Betray the village? Does Konoha belong to you? After you killed the Third Hokage and the Daimyo, is your rise to power truly honorable?"

Asma isn't so stupid that he can't speak.

He wanted to seize on this rationale; he hoped that someone from Konoha would stand up and choose to stand with him.

"Are you all truly sincere about fighting alongside Byakuya? This guy killed daimyo and Hokage. Does someone like that even deserve to be Hokage?"

As he spoke, Asuma looked expectantly at the Konoha ninjas behind Byakuya.

However, the ninjas behind them didn't seem to have any intention of moving at all.

Seeing this, Asuma instantly flew into a rage: "Kakashi, Kurenai, Guy, have you all fallen too?"

Let's leave the others aside, but is it possible that no one in the same class is willing to stand up and support him?

"Sorry, Asuma, you'd better surrender sooner rather than later."

After saying that, Kakashi lowered his head and refused to look at Asuma. He could say he had avenged White Fang.

At least this time, he's unlikely to speak out.

Kai didn't speak. He wanted to stop it, but he knew he couldn't. Asuma had betrayed the village, and the Hokage of Konoha was now Byakuya. As a ninja, he had to obey the Hokage's orders!

Seeing that Kai remained silent, Asuma, while hating the two of them, also placed his last hope on Kurenai. He looked at Kurenai with hopeful eyes, thinking that Kurenai had grown up with him and could be considered his childhood friend, and had always understood his feelings.

She would stand by me despite all opposition; that's love!

"I'm sorry, Asuma, but I think the Hokage is right!"

Sorry, Asuma.

Asuma stared blankly at Red, and felt like he was about to collapse.

What gives them the right?!

Why don't they choose to stand with themselves?

"Asuma, your mistake was that you kept fantasizing. It's not that I didn't give you a chance. I said that I would forgive and forget any ninjas who returned from the outside world, but you stubbornly chose to stay with the Daimyo."

And Daimyo is stupid; he doesn't even know what this world is all about. Victory is justice. I don't know how others will judge me a thousand years from now, but I know you are a loser, while I succeeded.

No matter how much you talk, it's all for naught. All your claims are based on the fact that your father is the Hokage. Once your halo fades, you'll just be a Jonin. In school, your classmates fawned over you, and after graduation, you had the best mentors and resources to guide you. Even after leaving Konoha, you weren't considered a rogue ninja.
