Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

The First Hokage...

Kakuzu was somewhat dazed, almost thinking that the person in front of him was the resurrected First Hokage.

This was the most terrifying enemy he had ever encountered in his life, apart from the First Hokage!

Four masks instantly flew onto his shoulders and merged with his body, then the threads transformed into fists...

call out!

Two fists flew in, and strands of silk flew out from within, instantly binding Jingyan's body.

however.

The next second—

Crack!

A muffled clap of thunder sounded.

Instantly, Jingyan's entire body was covered in crisscrossing lightning.

Lightning Armor!

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force came from that direction.

it is good……

What incredible strength!

How is that possible!

Kakuzu couldn't stop at all. He kept trying to entangle himself with the silk threads, but to no avail. He had no choice but to cut the silk threads immediately.

however.

The instant he took to the air.

call out!

A bolt of lightning appeared like a ray of light in the rain ahead.

boom!

A swift chop.

With the blessing of immortal magic and the Hundred Healings Technique, the lightning exploded, transforming into a blade that could cut through everything.

Hell Thrust - Four-in-One Slash!

Although it didn't reach the level of a grandmaster, this strike was more than enough to hit Kakuzu.

The moment Kakuzu saw Kyohiko appear in front of him, it was too late to dodge, and he could only use layers of silk threads to protect himself.

at the same time……

Earth escape·Earth spear!

He used all his defensive ninjutsu to block this slash.

but.

In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu felt a sharp pain in his heart—

The blazing white lightning, like a knife, sliced ​​through everything and pierced directly into his heart.

He looked down in disbelief and saw that his "earth-attribute" heart had shattered!

Kakuzu used his last bit of strength and chakra to break free and avoid being grabbed by Kyohiko.

In the instant of separation, one of the masks shattered and replaced the current heart.

He wasn't given much time to think.

Jingyan paused, then threw out dozens of amber stones.

Each piece of amber contains an image of the Flying Thunder God, which can serve as his coordinates for the Flying Thunder God.

Jiao did not sit idly by and wait for his death.

He realized that the enemy before him was extremely formidable.

Instantly, all the threads burst forth in all directions, and flames and hurricanes blew out from the shoulders at the same time.

Compound Ninja Technique·Fire Wind and Waves!

The firestorm swept outwards, transforming the area around him into an "ocean" of flames and gales.

Kakuzu's attack was not aimed at killing Kyohiko, but rather...

Self-preservation, escape!

however.

Above!

Kakuzu's entire body of threads instantly coalesced into his most powerful punch.

All the threads solidified together, and chakra spread from the tentacles formed by the Earth Grudge Fear, bombarding upwards.

Jingyan also threw a punch.

but.

This attack incorporated a touch of other ninjutsu.

Immortal Technique: Superhuman Strength.

Bang!

The bombardment of chakra energy pulverized each of the individual threads.

Kakuzu lost his Earth Release mask and had no ability to escape, so he kept moving and maneuvering towards the river, hoping to escape by using the river.

however.

The power of this attack was beyond his imagination!

Jingyan's figure appeared in an instant from among the shattered tentacles.

There is no Flying Thunder God, only...

The simplest teleportation technique.

but.

In Sage Mode and Lightning Armor, even the simplest Body Flicker Technique is no slower than the Flying Thunder God Technique.

By the time Kakuzu realized what was happening, Kyohiko was already beside him.

The next second, the blade was drawn!

A horizontal slash.

The simplest slash directly cut through the rain curtain, with wind-style chakra condensing on it, transforming into an invisible energy blade.

A single sword strike intersecting—

Both masks shattered!

"You'll die with me!"

As the two masks shattered, Kakuzu roared, unleashing a burst of wind and flames as his chakra coalesced throughout his body.

These are his only two remaining masks!

Similarly, this was his desperate strike.

Below, White Zetsu instantly dug a passage, but at that very moment, a peculiar chakra spread out.

not good!

White Zetsu immediately tried to run, but it was too late—

In the blink of an eye, the ground solidified into a single piece of amber!

"You dare compare yourself to the First Lord?"

The next moment, suddenly, a huge wooden figure rose up from beneath Jingyan's feet, making him incredibly tall.

Then, a hand pressed down from above.

Kakuzu looked at the sky, with only one thought in mind—

run!

run! ! !

There was no other way out but to run away.

however.

Beneath his feet, amber had already firmly adhered and solidified his silk threads and the White Zetsu, and the amber was still increasing.

Only...

resistance!

Wind and fire attack simultaneously.

The tentacles coalesced, transforming into a sharp spearhead.

Kakuzu gave it his all.

but.

Above him, ninjutsu rained down on him, but the wooden doll remained unmoved, completely unaffected by his attacks.

With the aid of sage techniques, Kakuzu's attacks were like tickling the wooden doll.

If it weren't for the need to capture Kakuzu and White Zetsu alive, dealing with these two would actually be much simpler—

The True Thousand Hands - Top Transformation Buddha - even a few masks wouldn't be enough to survive.

But now.

Above, a giant wooden hand pressed down, with countless amber beads sprouting from it.

Looking at the enormous hand descending from the sky, Kakuzu's eyes were filled with despair.

No match for them!

They're no match at all!

Immortal Technique: Amber Seal!

With the aid of Sage Mode and Wooden Dummy Technique, Kakuzu and White Zetsu were instantly sealed by the amber that sprouted from his palm.

Kakuzu and White Zetsu were captured alive together!

The wooden figure collapsed.

Jingyan grabbed the two humanoid amber figures and looked at the distant Kurosuki Raiga, showing no intention of making a move for the time being.

In the distance, Raiga Kurosuki initially aimed at Yekura.

however.

Just as he was fully focused, his twin swords clashing, and a bolt of lightning was about to strike Ye Cang ahead, a gust of wind howled behind him.

Enemy attack!

His whole body tensed up instantly.

The next second, the lightning on the blade converged onto his body, transforming his attack into a defense.

Ninja Art: Lightning Armor!

however.

As he turned to the side, he saw a young man covered in lightning rushing towards him at incredible speed, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Blades clashing.

One blade spewed forth wind-like blades, while the other was engulfed in blazing lightning.

The two swords clashed, and Kurozuki Raiga was knocked back a step.

but.

The next second, in his other hand, the blade gathered chakra and unleashed a ball of lightning.

Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!

A ball of lightning condensed at the tip of the blade and slashed down with incredible speed. Kurosuki Raiga grinned, but then Kakashi drew another sword instantly.

Boom!

The same Wind Release Ninja Sword Technique.

Wind Kree.

After the lightning ball was split open, Kakashi's right hand instantly changed its attribute, transforming into a raging flame in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, the blades clashed, and wind and fire mingled.

laugh!

The suddenly extended fire blade nearly tore apart Kurozumi Raiga's hand.

Both wielded dual swords and were skilled in lightning release and speed, making their exchange extremely fast; they exchanged more than a dozen blows in the blink of an eye.

Every strike is a clash of chakra sword techniques.

Kakashi was very excited.

Raiga Kurosuki was the first Jonin he had encountered in recent years. The two had similar styles, and their duel gave him the feeling of "meeting a worthy opponent".

Such experience is invaluable!

but.

At that very moment, in the distance, Kyohiko had already captured Kakuzu...

So fast?

Kurozuki Raiya was horrified.

Previously, his only opponent was Pakura, then Kakashi Hatake joined the fray, and now...

Another Yoshimine Kyohiko!

On the side, Yekura simply crossed her arms, showing no intention of attacking.

seem……

Kakashi can handle it all by himself, even without her.

and.

If Jingyan isn't in a hurry, then she certainly isn't.

Raiga Kurosuki gritted his teeth, using the moment Kakashi charged forward as leverage to clash blades and retreat, and then—

Gala!

The dark clouds in the sky collided, and attracted by the blade, a bolt of lightning instantly erupted, hurtling towards Kakashi.

Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!

Yekura was about to make her move.

but.

The next second, she saw Kakashi sheath his sword and form several hand seals in the blink of an eye.

Then--

Zizizi!

The raging lightning erupted in Kakashi's hand, condensing into a ball of silvery-white electric light.

His right palm was completely covered by lightning.

Just as the lightning struck, his figure vanished instantly, and then his palm slashed across his head.

Lightning...

It disappeared into his palm.

It was as if all the lightning was absorbed by the lightning in the opponent's hand.

What kind of technique is this?

Kurozuki Raiga was horrified and quickly crossed his blades, assuming a defensive stance.

however.

The next second, Kakashi had already teleported in front of him.

Open the door!

but.

The purpose of opening the door is not to increase speed, but to allow him to control the speed at high speeds.

He already had the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and with the addition of the "Open Gate" state, his speed reached its peak in that instant.

The next second, just as a burst of lightning erupted beneath the blade of the Black Hoshinogi Raiga, Kakashi's figure flashed by...

He appeared behind Kurozumi Raiga in an instant.

Shadow Dance Leaf!

but.

The difference was that, the next second, his hand pressed directly onto Raiga Kurosugi's heart.

Lightning and water swirled chaotically inside, transforming into a pulpy form of thunder.

In the blink of an eye.

His hand pierced through Raiga Kurozumi's chest.

"How..."

Raiga Kurosu stared in astonishment at his chest.

A hand pierced through his chest.

"possible?"

He couldn't believe it.

A mere boy could unleash such incredible speed in an instant and master such powerful ninjutsu!

Kakashi Hatake...

He regretted it.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have obeyed the Mizukage's orders and defected from the village!

The next moment, he stumbled forward and fell.

Kakashi immediately teleported backward, slightly out of breath, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue.

This blow was not easy for him.

To withstand that bolt of lightning, the chakra consumption increased exponentially, and after opening the door, there was an indescribable exhaustion.

This is the price of the Eight Gates Formation.

But the result was that he killed Raiga Kurosuki!

"call!"

Kakashi exhaled, his whole body trembling with excitement.

The feeling of battle!

"See? I told you you could do it, didn't I?"

"..."

Kakashi looked up at the two humanoid amber figures in Kyohiko's hands and fell silent.

The opponent he had fought with all his might seemed to be weaker than the one in Jingyan's hands, and this guy seemed to be able to defeat enemies even faster than him.

Hey!

Kakashi was slightly disappointed.

but.

He recovered quickly.

From a very early age, Kakashi never thought he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Kyohiko; his goal was to catch up with him from behind.

He was already very satisfied as long as he could catch a glimpse of Jingyan's back.

"Kakuzu..."

"Still alive."

As Jingyan spoke, he added another layer of seal to prevent the two from escaping—

Although the possibility is extremely slim.

Yekura walked over and stared intently at the person next to Kakuzu.

She looked puzzled.

"It's that kind of guy again. How many of them are there?"

"I don't know."

Jingyan paused for a moment, then said, "It's a poor-quality copy of the First Hokage. Madara probably made many of them."

"A clone of the First Hokage?"

Yekura's eyes widened slightly, then she suddenly realized, "No wonder it can also use Wood Release, but its power is nowhere near that of the First Hokage."

"That's normal; it doesn't have the chakra and strength to match it."

As Jingyan spoke, he formed a hand seal.

A barrier appeared.

Immediately following, Flying Thunder God Technique!

He sent both a White Zetsu and a Kakuzu to the Anbu office.

There, his wooden clone was still at work handling official business.

A look of envy flashed in Ye Cang's eyes.

Flying Thunder God.

So convenient and powerful!

"With this hunt over, Madara will have two fewer capable subordinates. It's a pity we couldn't bring the Jinchuriki back with us."

Kakashi regained some of his strength and managed to sit up.

"Of course, Madara wouldn't let the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki wander around, and he might have already transferred the Seven-Tails into this special clone."

Yecang glanced at it and shared his guess.

Kakashi earned her respect through his strength, so she was quite kind to him.

Jingyan shook his head.

"This clone is not capable of holding such strong chakra, so it is most likely that Madara used his Sharingan in conjunction with a summoning contract to control it."

"He's done something similar before."

As Jingyan spoke, he recounted the story of what happened to the Nine-Tails.

"Is this really true?"

Yekura was slightly surprised.

She had indeed heard about the attack on Konoha before, but with Kyohiko in charge, she had always treated it as a joke.

With Kyohiko in Konoha, how could he possibly be attacked?

Who would be so blind as to attack!

result.

It really does.

Moreover, this matter is actually related to Kurama and Madara?

"Obito awakened his Sharingan around that time. I suspect that Madara orchestrated this performance specifically to awaken his Sharingan."

Kyohiko replied.

Kakashi looked at Kyohiko.

Here...

In fact, this was also a result of Kyohiko's indulgence.

otherwise.

The Uchiha clan could never have come into contact with the Nine-Tails' clones.

but.

Compared to the outcome, it's already much better!

Furthermore, those who sacrificed themselves were not mostly killed during the Nine-Tails' rampage, but rather by the chaos within the Uchiha clan.

In reality, none of the people actually killed by the Nine-Tails' clones were actually killed.

The result was—

With the internal problems of the Uchiha clan resolved, the remaining members have completely sided with Konoha, and there will be no more betrayals in the short term.

Yecang was unaware of the details.

She was still thinking more about Obito's Sharingan.

Bizarre and terrifying spatial abilities!

Even she was somewhat helpless in the face of such an ability, and could only use Scorching Release to affect her opponent as much as possible.

Luo Sha was even more helpless.

She hesitated.

Jingyan looked into the distance: "Speak quickly if you have something to say. The ninjas from Amegakure are about to arrive, and we need to retreat."

"How is Luo Sha's daughter?"

Ye Cang asked.

Jingyan glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh, "It's strange of you, you're so concerned about Rasa's daughter..."

He paused slightly as he said this.

"It's not very good, but I've asked Kushina to take care of her and with the help of psychotherapy, she should be able to slowly emerge from this dark period."

"Thanks."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Kyohiko shook his head slightly without replying, then put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder.

"You don't want to go back, partly because you're worried about me, and partly because you're concerned about your immigration status, right?"

Ye Cang remained silent.

She had already "died" once in Sunagakure.

"Why don't you come to Konoha? It's too dangerous to wander around outside in the short term."

"what?"

Yekura paused for a few seconds, then looked at Kyohiko with a strange expression. "Why would I go to Konoha?"

"Temari is in Konoha, and your disciple... that boy named Maki, is living there too. Rasa came to Konoha for this very reason."

"Is she in Konoha?"

Yecang really didn't expect this.

She pondered for a moment, then understood Luo Sha's thoughts and fell silent.

That's exactly the kind of thing that guy would do!

A group of people are gambling on a possibility, but if they fail, the whole group might also be wiped out...

Didn't Luo Sha think about that?

Yekura was furious.

Then, she actually had a fleeting thought of "going to Konoha".

"Can I...use my identity as a member of the Anbu?"

"Okay." (End of Chapter)
