Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

With Kagura having retrieved all three tailed beasts, the duel seemed to have returned to square one.

However, the lightning pillar that struck like a god had clearly consumed a significant amount of Hiruko's chakra.

He lowered his raised right hand, but his slightly trembling body still revealed a trace of his weakness.

Seeing the Three-Tails disappear, Hiruko was unaware that Kagura had recalled it, only assuming that it was because the Three-Tails had been blasted to pieces.

He took a deep breath, looked at Kagura standing to the side, and said:

"Alright, we're back to where we started."

Let's keep fighting.

However, Kagura did not make any move in the face of his challenge, but calmly looked at him and said:

"If I remember correctly, you should have already used four different bloodline limits."

Hiruko replied indifferently:

"Yes, but so what?"

Kagura shook her head, speaking calmly and confidently:

"If that's really the case, and you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve, you have no chance of beating me."

Upon hearing this, Hiruko was slightly taken aback, and then an extreme anger welled up in his heart.

Looking at Kagura's calm eyes, or perhaps it was just his imagination, he even sensed a hint of pity in them.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Kagura, roaring:

"Even now, do you still carry that so-called genius pride?"

But I'm no longer an ordinary person!

Even your prized bloodline limits are now fused with four different types within me!

What makes you think you can beat me?

Seeing that Hiruko was somewhat embarrassed and angry, Kagura decided not to waste any more words with him.

Suddenly, a set of blue armor appeared on his body, clearly indicating that he had used the Ninjutsu: Lightning Release Armor.

Immediately, his figure transformed into a blur as he charged towards Hiruko.

Seeing this, Beiruhu showed no panic, but instead revealed a sinister smile.

Just as he was about to use Swift Escape to rush towards Kagura, he saw Kagura forming a hand seal as she charged forward.

Startled, he instinctively stretched out his right hand, preparing to use Dark Release: Absorption Hole to absorb the ninjutsu Kagura was about to unleash.

However, the next second, he suddenly felt a rumbling sound coming from the ground.

Before he could react, the ground around him cracked open inch by inch, and countless tree roots, like giant dragons, surged out.

While Hiruko was slightly stunned, his entire body was already entangled by countless tree roots, rendering him unable to move.

Seeing Kagura about to reach him, his face darkened, and he prepared to unleash other ninjutsu to save himself.

If he can escape the confinement of these trees, he can easily dodge Kagura's attacks with his speed.

Just as he was about to make a move with his right hand, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

A pair of Sharingan eyes adorned with mysterious and ornate patterns.

In a daze, he found himself suddenly in a black and white world.

The trees that had bound him had all disappeared, and Kagura, who had been charging towards him, was now standing leisurely in front of him.

"This is..."

He looked up and around, muttering to himself with a hint of confusion.

"This is my world. I used my Sharingan on you."

Upon hearing this, Hiruko instantly understood.

He looked at Kagura warily, muttering to himself:

"Is this the power of the Sharingan?"

"Did you use an illusion on me?"

Kagura nodded calmly and began to explain:

"Don't worry, I don't like torture and killing. I only brought you in here because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hiruko felt a sudden change in his surroundings.

The black and white world had disappeared, and he was still bound by countless tree roots. At this moment, Kagura rushed in front of him.

Kagura's blue armor had disappeared without her noticing, and powerful lightning chakra was now gathering in his right hand.

As for his right hand, which resembled a chopstick, it had already pierced through Hiruko's steel-like armor, passing right through his chest.

This was Kagura's ninjutsu, Lightning Release: Lightning Cruelty Level, which she used to concentrate Lightning Release in her hands in order to break through Hiruko's defense.

Hiruko looked down at his chest in disbelief, and when he saw his right hand, which was now completely embedded in his body, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

Blood began to flow from his nose and mouth as he suffered a severe blow, and he gasped for breath.

Without a shred of pity, Kagura pulled her right hand from his chest.

As Kagura moved, a large amount of blood flowed from the wound on Hiruko's chest.

Hiruko felt as if all the strength in his body was being slowly drained away with the loss of blood, and his whole body began to go limp.

Seeing that the enemy had completely lost the ability to move, Kagura controlled the trees and released Hiruko from his restraints.

As the trees rustled slightly, the released Hiruko collapsed weakly to the ground.

At this point, he was unable to do anything except gasp for breath.

He looked unwillingly at Kagura standing in front of him, and with his last strength said:

Kagura...

cough......

Could it be that...

Are ordinary people destined to be unable to surpass talented people...?

Kagura did not answer his question, but simply stood there quietly watching him.

However, Hiruko clearly didn't expect to get a response from Kagura. After a few seconds, his panting finally stopped.

Looking at the dead enemy before her, Kagura bent down and gently closed his unseeing eyes.

Looking at her former classmates, Kagura sighed inwardly.

Although he was a Naruto fan in his previous life, that doesn't mean he had watched all the Naruto-related movies.

Therefore, he was truly unaware of the villainous character, Hiruko.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would either try to guide Orochimaru onto the right path, just as he did with Orochimaru.

Either we nip such villains in the bud.

If it weren't for a lack of understanding, Kagura wouldn't have needed to spend so much time investigating his abilities.

In Kagura's view, the so-called battle, besides strength, is based more on information.

After all, even the strongest person can often die at the hands of a ninja.

Over the years, apart from Madara, whose strength was far inferior, Kagura has been able to plan his tactics before fighting against most other opponents, which is due to his understanding of their abilities.

This was the first time he had used such a cautious fighting style against Hiruko.

But when you've revealed all your cards, and you don't even know I possess the Wood Release ability, you're already destined to fail.

As for the question raised by Beirut before his death...

It's not that talented people are more likely to win in this world; it's just that talented people are often more capable.

Chapter 35 Do you want to eat first, or...?

"Well...

Um..."

With a groan, Hiashi Hyuga opened his eyes, rubbing his still-aching head.

What came into view was Kagura's familiar back view and the fire in front of him.

"This is..."

He had just woken up and was still a little disoriented.

Hearing the pattering rain outside, he instantly realized that he must be in the Land of Rain.

Looking at the familiar scene before him, he even had a moment of hallucination.

Does this mean we haven't arrived in the Land of Wind yet, but are on our way to our destination?

Just as this thought popped into his head, he saw his two companions still unconscious beside him.

Scenes from his previous battle with Hiruko flashed through his mind.

No, we've already been to Sunagakure, and we were even intercepted by the enemy on our way back.

Thinking of this, his eyes instantly cleared, and he immediately sat up straight and became alert.

Sensing his movement, Kagura, who was focused on cooking dinner, turned her head to look at him.

Seeing his tense expression, Kagura probably knew what had happened without even asking.

He scooped up a spoonful of soup, tasted it, and calmly offered words of comfort:

"Okay, don't be nervous."

You are safe now.

If you can still move, wake those two up, then hurry up and have dinner.

For some reason, hearing Kagura's voice immediately eased Hiashi's tense emotions.
