Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Kaguya was delighted with her own extraordinary wisdom.

Her profound understanding and rich experience in combat made her a formidable opponent...

This person was so shocked that he had to bow down and be greatly astonished.

Heh heh, this is what geniuses from the Otsutsuki clan are like...

It's normal for ordinary people not to understand.

Even among the Otsutsuki clan, not many know this!

"Would you like to try connecting with me?"

Kaguya pondered for a moment and then said, "Since you're engaged in battle, I can offer you some pointers..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi became extremely vigilant.

Do not…

He had to reject this crazy woman!

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's emotions were stable, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid of Kaguya.

On the contrary, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already on high alert!

Because it could break through his myriad sealing seals, silently pass through his various sealing techniques comparable to a city wall, and merge with the chakra of the nine tailed beasts and appear within his body...

There has never been such a precedent in the entire ninja world!

It can be said that this level of strangeness far surpasses that of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan...

Kaguya's words and emotions felt strangely familiar to Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Where did this Uchiha come from?

Within the Uchiha clan, there is one who can loudly proclaim himself the progenitor of chakra, claim that all the chakra in the ninja world belongs to him, and who can shout words of indebtedness and hatred at strangers…

It can also be considered a purebred race car.

Generally speaking, based on what Hiruzen Sarutobi saw in Tobirama's Notebook, after Uchiha undergoes the transformation into a ghoul, he won't openly go mad, but will instead begin to engage in strange thoughts, appearing quite profound...

It's like when you don't have common topics with your peers, you're unwilling to communicate, and you don't want to feel inferior or do something detrimental...

"This woman is too dangerous."

"The E-Seal must be sealed..."

"I cannot take the initiative to contact him right now."

Various thoughts flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

His solo incursion into the Iwagakure and Kumogakure army camps may seem risky, but it actually reflects his accurate assessment of his own strength.

The village ninjas were unaware that he was undergoing a process of "quantitative change leading to qualitative change." With Spirit Release, bloodline limits, and the sealing palace, he was immune to any problems...

However, Kaguya's appearance disrupted this balance.

A completely unfamiliar and powerful alien entity forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to slow down his communication with it and treat it as a cunning and scheming enemy...

"She must be faking it, right? All that shouting, cursing, and revealing information is actually to lower my guard and make me let my guard down..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered to himself.

The Hokage actually fell into a cognitive bias.

Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously assumed that someone beyond his comprehension must be cunning, logical, and full of backup plans… but that's hard to say…

"I can't afford to have any problems with Konoha right now."

"The period of institutional development and rapid expansion collided, and the inertia of the ninja world was too great..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly.

This is actually a happy kind of trouble.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, his ideal Konoha was one where, even after he was gone, a capable successor could be quickly found, and ideally, there would be a top-tier candidate for the position after that…

This would align with Hiruzen Sarutobi's consistent ideals and vision, and from his personal perspective, it would also relieve him of this burden, allowing him to improve his talent even while relaxing...

But obviously, it's impossible.

Building a system takes time, and it takes a lot of time to influence several generations to reach a consensus.

For example, the prefecture-county system.

It took more than a hundred years from the Qin Dynasty to the reign of Emperor Wu of Han to be fully established.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had slowed down Konoha's development and allowed the village to settle down for a decade or so without expansion or innovation, perhaps he could have begun to achieve what he called "institutionalizing the Will of Fire."

During periods of rapid expansion, institutionalization can only be a sweet treat.

To quickly resolve internal conflicts and unify will, one must take the "strongman" as a model and use an iron fist to suppress all internal contradictions.

The larger the organization and the faster it expands, the greater its need for key "stabilizing forces".

Without time for systemic stabilization, the risk of collapse is higher; the early stages of a startup are often fraught with various risks. Conversely, in the later stages, even with numerous drawbacks and shrinking business and personnel, a startup can survive for an unknown period thanks to its previous scale…

This has been proven time and again throughout history.

Alexander's Macedonian Empire spanned across Eurasia and Africa, but it split and collapsed on the very day he died.

Less than ten years after Genghis Khan's death, the Mongol Empire split into four Khanates.

In the ninja world, where extraordinary powers exist, this speed would only be even faster.

Chakra is a natural amplifier of rhythm.

For the Will of Fire to be truly institutionalized and implemented, the ninja world needs to be completely stabilized and allowed to mature supporting measures to be developed after various problems are exposed, and a consensus needs to be reached among all ninjas.

How many ninjas truly understand his Will of Fire?

At that time, there would really be no need for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The inertia and constraints of the ninja world have been erased, and a new era has officially begun.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot stop.

Because he knew of the existence of "Deus Ex machina," the high returns brought about by Konoha's rapid expansion would have a decisive impact on his talent and combat power.

Therefore, in a sense, Konoha's development must not be rushed, but it must be fast.

As Hokage, he needs to delegate authority steadily, but also take on a lot of responsibility.

The ninja world and Konoha are in a historical period that sounds a bit like a battle between the left and right brains...

This was something even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't do.

Therefore, the Hokage must handle all of Kaguya's requests with utmost care...

He now politely declines any offers of chakra connection.

If the opponent's chakra is so complex that even his Spirit Release cannot break it, let alone controlling himself to remotely manage the ninja world, he could even somehow make himself disappear for a period of time...

For example, he was transported to some other dimension, where his aura was sealed in reverse.

All of these will cause various underlying conflicts to erupt like the explosion of a Tailed Beast Ball!

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that saying that was too arrogant...

But the ninja world and Konoha still desperately need him!

"Let's skip the chakra connection for now. You don't know my trump cards, and I don't know your strength. Let's get to know each other step by step."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said:

"So, your current communication with me is based on the fused tailed beast chakra stored at the core of the second circulatory system created within my body using sealing techniques..."

"We don't need to connect; I'll provide some chakra to open up part of my perspective for you."

If his chakra is connected to this woman's, it's possible for her to contaminate him in reverse.

However, if Hiruzen Sarutobi adopts a "television broadcast" approach, presenting a portion of his chakra separately to her, there will be no problem.

Even if there's a problem with this part of the chakra, it's still essentially locked within the sealed palace in his body and won't enter Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra cycle.

The dual system still has its advantages.

Upon hearing the word "seal" mentioned by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kaguya nearly gasped for breath again in shock.

Sealing Technique…

Her powerful, rebellious son created a unique "subordinate overthrowing superior" power system!

Kaguya suffered greatly...

When the topic of sealing techniques came up, Kaguya felt a mixture of anger and madness, as well as a complex emotion regarding her eldest son's remarkable talent...

Why can't someone with such abilities seriously assist them?

Why do I have to go against her!

"Don't you trust me?" Kaguya thought for a moment and said coldly on purpose.

"It's a lack of trust."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded decisively, and before Kaguya could speak, he said in a deep voice, "Because trust is more precious than chakra..." "If you trust each other as soon as you start interacting, it only means that such trust is cheap deception."

"What I hope to build with you is a deep cooperation and community of shared interests that is built step by step and can withstand complex tests, rather than just empty words."

"Doing this is a sign of respect for you, and it also reflects your respect for me."

"By doing this, we can prevent the trust between us from crumbling over trivial matters in the future."

"what you think?"

Kaguya was about to make a point when Hiruzen Sarutobi cut her off.

no…

Is this guy really going to build trust with me?

Does he know how difficult it is to build trust?

It's ridiculous...

But Kaguya wanted to say something, trying to find a loophole in Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

But it turned out there was actually no problem...

Even though she is in an extremely weak state, the existence that can prevent her chakra from dissipating is enough to make her take a slightly more serious attitude towards it.

Take a closer look…

It seems that's really the case?

Because Kaguya didn't actually control Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind. Perhaps she's only just realized that the chakra link could do this, but at least she hadn't thought of that when she spoke.

This is the true value of someone who can instantly kill Naruto and Sasuke with the All-Killing Ash Bones technique, yet is stunned and moved to tears...

The main theme is "What you dream about, you do..."

"Alright."

Kaguya reluctantly said, "Hmph, you've missed your chance! You'll regret it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored him, only saying softly, "Thank you for understanding..."

Kaguya was taken aback.

She seems to have discovered a blind spot…

The other person seems genuinely emotionally stable, unlike her two unruly children who love to argue and even fight over things! She's very reasonable and speaks eloquently and logically…

Hiruzen Sarutobi carefully transferred a small portion of his chakra into the sealed palace, using genjutsu to create a barrier. This way, even if Kaguya tried to absorb this chakra, it wouldn't affect his main body.

"Can you see my field of vision?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked softly.

At this moment, Kaguya, whose true form was far away on the moon, finally saw her long-lost "precious nursery" once again through Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. "Mine, this is all mine..." Kaguya couldn't help but murmur to herself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He now strongly suspects that this woman may not only be related to the Uchiha clan, but also possibly have some connection with Kaguya of the Kirigakure clan... Her mind seems a bit off!

Riding on the back of the Five-Tails, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally finished making this cross-world phone call.

And behind him.

The main force from Konoha has also arrived!

First, there are the dark areas and roots led by the sun.

Secondly, there are the various Jinchūriki of the Konoha Alliance.

One-tailed Nagato, three-tailed Nakamaro, six-tailed Uzumaki Shio, seven-tailed Tomie...

Minato, almost half of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

After being treated by Tsunade and Tobirama, Danzo and Tobirama's sealing techniques, which had been used against them by Ashina Uzumaki, were broken by Kushina and Uzumaki Shio, allowing them to return to their peak condition.

Hanzo held a blood-stained chain, followed by the salamanders and a large number of Amegakure troops.

Clearly, they heard that their elder brother might be in trouble, so they launched a full-scale attack without even arranging for the ninjas guarding the base...

Kisame gritted his teeth and glared fiercely, Samehada strapped to his back, with Kirigakure's elite troops rushing to the aid of the First Mizukage behind him.

Fugaku and Isshin, the two Uchiha, were still bound by Susanoo skeletons and hadn't had time to remove them yet.

Sakumo's white teeth gleamed with the cold light of his Storm Release technique.

Kakuzu entered the state of Earth Grudge, with black lines raging wildly like a demon.

Jiraiya summoned Fukasaku and Shima, two toad sages standing on his shoulders.

Kurama Genshin stared at the Third Raikage and Onoki in the distance, ready to activate Genjutsu Shinsen at any moment.

Even the researcher, Hiruko, ran to the front line, his arms covered in blood.

It's worth noting that when the other Konoha committee members appeared on the battlefield, the Iwa and Kumo ninja, who had received orders from Onoki and the Third Raikage, had almost no motivation to resist...

However, upon seeing Hiruko, two ninjas' eyes lit up, wanting to test their mettle against this seemingly powerless scientific genius... They were immediately overwhelmed by Hiruko's dual bloodline limits of Steel Release and Swift Release, which made Hiruko somewhat unhappy, feeling that he had not received sufficient respect. He might not be a great fighter, but only relative to the top ninjas of Konoha; he still had some standing in the ninja world!

Behind the Third Raikage and Onoki.

Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails; Killer Bee, the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails; Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails; and a few other high-level combatants, including Kōtsuchi, watched the personnel and military formation behind the Hokage with cold sweat.

It's only been a few years...

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually created such a terrifying village!

Let alone a full-scale attack, even if Konoha were to split into three, it would be enough to reassemble the five great hidden villages with Iwagakure and Kumogakure... "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, you two."

"To be honest, I don't want to commit murder unnecessarily, because it's pointless."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Onoki and the Third Raikage, and sighed softly: "But you two are always clinging to the old ways of thinking in the ninja world, still stuck in the Warring States period..."

"Either he spends all his time imagining an imaginary enemy, or he still sees Shadow as a bandit leader."

"This internal strife is bad for everyone."

"I have no intention of escalating the chains of hatred, so since you two want to decide the outcome of this war through a 'duel of generals,' then I accept."

Behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, the cheers of the Konoha ninja were deafening!

But as he spoke, everything miraculously calmed down instantly…

All I saw was...

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly turned around and smiled at the Konoha ninja:

"You did very well. I remember a few years ago, when I sparred with Orochimaru, we conducted a rapid reaction test on the village..." "Back then, the big guy's performance was only so-so."

"But everything is going very well now..."

Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi, clad in black armor and riding a white horse, calmly standing alone before an army of ten thousand, chatting and laughing with the Third Raikage and Onoki…

The Konoha ninjas all silently remembered this scene.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage who valued his teacher's bloodline and cherished his childhood friendship, was a man of flesh and blood, further solidifying his image as a powerful yet compassionate figure…

"There's no need for everyone to be impatient."

"I know you want to showcase your achievements."

"But the enemies of the ninja world are not just the Iwagakure and Kumogakure in front of us. The day when everyone will help me and the ninja world is yet to come..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly.

After witnessing Kaguya's existence, Hiruzen Sarutobi established a standard for the combined strength of Konoha ninjas.

That is, in the absence of him, one must be able to deal with and delay this existence, which is what Kaguya refers to as the "main family." Being able to do this would be considered as having initially met the standard.

"retreat."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he surveyed the Konoha army's formation, his gaze casually sweeping around.

Yet every Konoha ninja felt as if the Hokage was looking directly at them, and subconsciously straightened their chests, a smile appearing on their faces.

Such scanning is one of the basic techniques used by the Hokage.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order and turned around, the Konoha army, under the reorganization of the Konoha committee members who had recovered, quickly regained its orderly posture during the rapid march.

The sound of footsteps rose in an orderly fashion, echoing heavily across the battlefield, like the strides of a giant.

"This level of organization..."

Onoki and the Third Raikage watched all of this in silence.

At that moment, they both realized how foolish they had been.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to wipe out Iwagakure and Kumogakure, he would have destroyed them long ago…

The reason they haven't taken action yet, but are using a controlled war scenario as training grounds, is probably because they truly inherited Hashirama's will and don't want the ninja world to bleed too much...

"Don't worry, just give it your all."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly, "To fight against the strong is my desire..."

The Third Raikage and Onoki took a deep breath and nodded.

If they hesitate and act timidly because of the terrifying military formation behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, it would render the last shred of dignity of Iwagakure and Kumogakure meaningless, and they would be looked down upon by everyone.

Objectively speaking, neither of them was arrogant enough to hold back against Hiruzen Sarutobi. The fact that they were able to give it their all and demonstrate some skill and strategic value is already a great thing.

"I've learned my lesson, Hokage!"

The Third Raikage roared, and terrifying lightning erupted from his body. His extremely skilled Lightning Release Chakra Mode was activated at this moment, accompanied by a crackling sound.

"Four-handed strike!"

Without hesitation, the Third Raikage unleashed his most lethal technique: the Ultimate Ninja Taijutsu, which uses his body, fully activated by lightning, to concentrate all its destructive power in his hand!

Onoki floated in mid-air, and the ground beneath Hiruzen Sarutobi's feet became extremely viscous and turbulent under his control.

He raised a dusty white barrier in his hand, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, waiting for his opportunity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly smiled.

He suddenly realized that he might also have some Uchiha traits.

I love copying.

In his current combat system, the most practical skills are actually Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Dust Release...

Although his self-developed spirit escape technique is powerful, there aren't many situations in which he can actually use it.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi unleashed a bolt of lightning even thicker than the Third Raikage's, and mimicking him, he raised four fingers and clashed with him!

The Third Raikage's eyes widened!

In this ninja world, are you the Raikage or am I?

In the distance, amidst the army's ranks, the Fourth Hokage, A, stared in disbelief at the scene. As a master of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he immediately recognized the Hokage's proficiency with this mode…

Absolutely an expert among experts!

Even his father might not be able to catch up...

"Too fast..."

Onoki felt a sense of helplessness. The speed at which he could cast Dust Release was not slow, but it was still far from enough to keep up with the speed of these two.

In his past battles with the Raikage, if he wanted to determine a winner, the only way was for one to use "One-Hit Jutsu" and the other to use "Dust Release: Limit Break Technique" at close range...

The key to victory lies in whether Dust Release is used first, or whether Piercing Hand strikes first...

Because of the lessons learned from the Second Shinobi World War, both sides are exercising restraint.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Third Raikage clashed!

Thunder roared, and the shockwaves from the lightning instantly filled the battlefield with arcs of electricity, as if one had entered the interior of a rain cloud! "Impressive physique..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily, steam rising from his arm as he broke through the Third Raikage's power with the immense force of the Boil Release! The Third Raikage's fingers instantly bent, and Hiruzen's palm plunged straight into his chest, sending him flying! Blood splattered onto the ground along the Third Raikage's trajectory...

"How is that possible!"

Killer Bee and the fourth generation of Ai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

That's a body that even a Tailed Beast Ball couldn't break!

What these two people didn't know was that the main feature of the Tailed Beast Ball was its large bombardment area, but the combination of Yin and Yang chakra in essence could not be considered sophisticated.

For physical beings like the Raikage and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the single-target damage of the Tailed Beast Ball is still insufficient.

"Rather than saying Lightning Release Chakra Mode is afraid of Wind Release..."

"Instead of saying that the sharpest form of Lightning Release is the best way to break through armor, it's like using lightning to counter lightning..." Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself as the Third Raikage charged forward once again.

He had already seen through the Lightning Release: Piercing Hand technique…

This is actually a technique somewhat similar to the Eight Gates Formation. The reason why the Raikage didn't use the Piercing Hand technique at the beginning was not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

The previous thrusting strikes were essentially warm-ups and sprints, mobilizing and stimulating the excess chakra within the body, preparing to converge it at a single point...

"I'm just imitating using technology."

"The specific details here seem to be transferable to the Eight Gates Formation, which might make wearing the Eight Gates Formation easier..." Although the battle was not over yet, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already considering the list of spoils after the victory.

"Perhaps I could try learning the Eight Gates?"

"I still have pretty good control over my body, after all, it's a dual-system cycle."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a sudden inspiration; he had found a new way to improve himself.

Although taijutsu was previously considered the lowest level of "ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu" in the ninja world.

However, upon reaching a new level, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized a problem.

Physical damage is always the most realistic form of damage.

There aren't many complicated details like changes in properties or forms; it's simply the kinetic energy theorem!

It can also be used as a trump card.

Kaguya silently watched this scene, and although she had intended to offer her opinions, she remained silent.

Because Kaguya suddenly discovered a problem…

How come the ninjas here use ninjutsu to enhance their physical abilities?

Shouldn't the number of panels be the same as the number of panels?

Chakra can be used like this?!

Kaguya's most frequently used technique is called "Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike," which, simply put, involves clenching a massive amount of chakra into a fist and then throwing punches...

Purely numerical, without a single trick.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could never have imagined Kaguya's "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" idea.

Even someone like him has never considered abandoning skills.

Because technique amplifies fundamental values, the two are always complementary...

Hiruzen Sarutobi faced the Third Raikage with one hand and Onoki with the other, unleashing a burst of chakra!

"Boiling Release: Lava Release Combined Bloodline Ninjutsu: Lava Mist Technique!"

"Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique!"

As the Third Raikage traveled, lava mixed with extremely potent acid mist exploded around him in an instant, as if a divine technique had been unleashed! The extremely high temperature of the molten lava mixed with the intense acid mist created a powerful acidity that clung to the Third Raikage's body like maggots.

Even with his physical body, which far surpassed the Susanoo skeleton, he could hardly endure it at this moment; signs of dissolving appeared on the surface of his body…

But the Third Raikage gritted his teeth and used the pain to continue his charge...

He understood…

A protracted battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi is not advisable because there is a significant difference in their skill levels.

The previous Third Raikage was proud of his physical strength, believing that he would have enough stamina to cope with a three-day, three-night battle. However, when fighting an opponent like Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had to use up all his trump cards from the very beginning.

Otherwise, if the fight drags on for a few rounds, they won't even have the resources to continue fighting.

This is a completely different combat model…

On the other end, Onoki's eyes widened as he watched Hiruzen Sarutobi use Dust Release, a technique even more proficient than his own, and the two beams of light collided! "Was that Dust Release?"

"I heard from the Land of Water that the Hokage knows Dust Release, I thought it was a psychological tactic..." Old Purple muttered to himself, feeling a little bewildered: "And there's Lava Release too!"

The four tails inside him fell silent.

Because he actually recognized the Ape Demon, or rather, he recognized the ape clan...

They were one family hundreds of years ago!

Why is their own Jinchūriki so weak, while the mere Summoning Beast eats so well?

unfair!

A white light emanated from between Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

The power of Spirit Release erupted, striking Onoki instantly in the form of a dojutsu, causing his chakra to become disordered.

He then looked at the Third Raikage…

The Spirit Release eye technique struck him. Although the berserk Lightning Release chakra mode offered some resistance, it still significantly slowed down the activation of his physical body…

The forced entry into the Ippon-straight hand technique was interrupted!

Kaguya was completely stunned at this moment.

It wasn't that she thought Hiruzen Sarutobi's techniques were particularly powerful...

Instead, she felt that her own system was so similar to Hiruzen Sarutobi's!

This wasn't Kaguya flattering anyone; rather, within her combat system, there was a technique called "Ame no Minaka," which connected the five major spaces through the primordial sphere.

During combat, you can switch your home field to gain an advantage.

These are acid fog, lava, ice, supergravity, and desert space…

Aren't Hiruzen Sarutobi's acid mist and lava just like her two dimensions?

Especially Spirit Escape…

Kaguya wasn't particularly skilled in other combat techniques, but she had honed one crucial technique to perfection, which was also her greatest asset in successfully launching sneak attacks…

Its name is "Common Killer Ash Bones"!

The spirit escape technique subtly carried the meaning of "disassembly" and "annihilation," which Kaguya, who was well-versed in this art, accurately detected.

"Could it really be fate?"

A strange thought came to Kaguya's mind.

And at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground.

"Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique - Gravity Field - Full Power!"

He used it to temper his own gravity field, and in the violent outburst, it formed an irresistible giant hand that instantly pulled Onoki, who was briefly incapacitated in mid-air, and the Third Raikage, who was half-out of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, towards him...

"Damn it, I can't use Dust Release..." Onoki felt a surge of despair as he felt the chaotic chakra within his body. Hiruzen Sarutobi's fighting style, so different from any other ninja in the ninja world, was leaving Onoki exhausted, both mentally and physically...

I'm a ninja. If you won't let me use ninjutsu, what's the point of us playing?

Even if you were just absorbing it, that would be one thing. He's the Tsuchikage, and he's seen Kirigakure's Dark Release before. He has room to maneuver in terms of absorption and speed... But then a white light flashed in his eyes, and he sealed himself remotely. Can you handle that?

Even the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique isn't this overpowered!

As the Third Raikage and Onoki flew rapidly toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, the two Kage maintained their fighting discipline, still struggling to use the kinetic energy of gravity to launch another counterattack...

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly: "Ice Age..."

A misty, icy aura rose from beneath his feet, and in an instant, a thick layer of ice sealed Ōnoki and the Third Raikage's bodies, leaving only their heads exposed.

The scene was completely silent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi activated his Spirit Release technique, his fists flashing with white light as he struck out from the left and right as if punching through the void, making the invisible shockwaves seem visible!

The molten lava, lightning, and scorched earth brimming with chakra on the battlefield, still burning, rapidly lost their structural integrity under the intense shock, transforming into invisible chakra…

Like a purification process, it washed away the ninjutsu from the entire battlefield. Then, Magnet Release was activated, and the sand, like a broom, smoothed out the pitted and uneven ground. As for when Hiruzen Sarutobi learned Magnet Release…

Because Fugaku was constantly hyping up how strong his Magnet Release was in Konoha, enthusiastically recommending others join the "Uchiha Magnetism Martial Arts," Hiruzen Sarutobi, in his spare time, took a look at it with a crystal ball for a while and mastered it...

All I can say is that Fugaku's teaching skills are quite good.

At least that's what Hiruzen Sarutobi thought, because he had learned it anyway...

No one expected that the Hokage's victory over two Kage in a single battle would be such an overwhelming one...

It was as if a ninja academy teacher was instructing newly enrolled students.

Kaguya was momentarily stunned.

no…

What does this mean?

Even the supergravity space and the desert space match up, right?

"This…"

"What does this mean?"

Kaguya fell into deep thought. Could it be that someone was setting her up?

However, in this ninja world, it's unlikely that someone would set her up.

Because Hagoromo, with her abilities, would never allow her to escape the seal on the moon, and besides, this rebellious child would also be severely weakened after splitting the Ten-Tails apart…

If the outcome is unknown and the event is automatically triggered, then the person is dead.

"you·…"

"How did you manage to use gravity without it affecting you?"

Kaguya recalled Hiruzen Sarutobi's battle.

What she noticed first was that this person's fighting style seemed to have some logic; his moves were methodical, without any sign of panic or lack of confidence...

In another timeline, Kaguya, who was burned by Amaterasu and ran away, harbored deep doubts.

In fact, everyone was confused at the time.

Even Madara, who wasn't yet the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, stood motionless after being burned by Amaterasu, but the progenitor of chakra simply covered his face and ran away! It's safe to say that Amaterasu, the strongest physical eye technique, received the utmost respect…

At this moment, Kaguya discovered another blind spot.

That is why Hiruzen Sarutobi is not affected by his own techniques.

This brings us to the story of how a certain progenitor of chakra, after entering a gravity-enhanced space, was so affected by the powerful gravity that he struggled to move, even failing to raise his aim before launching the All-Killing Ash Bones...

You missed the target again and again!

"What did you say?"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to the heartfelt cheers from the Konoha ninjas for him, even though he had strongly forbidden the slogan "Strongest Hokage," someone still shouted it out at this moment.

As if it had spread, it became increasingly uniform.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and suppressed the incorrect slogan of Konoha ninja.

But then some clever person had a sudden inspiration and uttered the new claim that "Lord Hashirama has been reincarnated"...

On one hand, the villagers were at their wits' end with him as the Hokage.

On the other hand, Kaguya's question left him stunned.

What is this mysterious woman saying?

Is he pretending to be stupid?

"What are you talking about?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again, a thought suddenly occurring to him:

"What I mean is, your question is full of wisdom. Although it may sound basic, the more basic the question, the more difficult it is to put into practice. So you might as well explain it in more detail..."

"Let's have a good talk; I can learn something from it too."

Kaguya's eyes lit up; it seemed she had finally met someone she could communicate with!

Even within the Otsutsuki clan, few supported Kaguya's long-held belief that "stat-based monsters are actually the hardest to control." Many clan members without stat-based monsters even became resentful of her!

"How did you manage to prevent the effects of gravity on yourself?"

Kaguya asked in a profound and enigmatic tone.

But this still silenced Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This is a question that is generally asked more often among students at the Ninja Academy…

Because it's just too basic.

This is similar to how Mei Terumi's Boil Release acid mist doesn't affect her, allowing her to stand within her own acid mist, and how Rasa and the Third Kazekage don't need to avoid their own Magnet Release fields...

Any Jonin with some skill has a basic understanding of how to adjust techniques.

For the "Professor of Ninjutsu," it was a step that could be simplified, much like hand seals, to the point that Hiruzen Sarutobi thought about it repeatedly but couldn't find any deeper meaning in the question...

It's like Einstein, Newton, and Gauss all coming together; one plus one equals two!

"This is how it's done..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi connected his chakra within his body, and with an extremely intricate structure, he demonstrated the basic principles of ninjutsu construction and operation to Kaguya's vision.

It's like taking things apart and breaking them down in an attempt to make her understand.

Kaguya looked enlightened, but there were still some parts she didn't understand. However, her high emotional intelligence kicked in, and she chuckled, "I understand everything! But this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi won't be easily fooled."

People who ask this kind of question...

He suddenly felt that the other person might not be pretending to be stupid, but rather that there was something really wrong with them...

This is such an overstatement!

But at this moment.

A sudden change has occurred!

A massive wooden dragon roared forth from beneath Hiruzen Sarutobi's feet. The Hokage's gaze sharpened, and he swiftly dodged the perfectly refined Wood Release technique. Meanwhile, in mid-air...

The six Kage, clad in black robes, along with the Second Kazekage, Shamon, whose reanimated form was enhanced, made a total of seven people, slowly emerging from the ground. The Second Tsuchikage looked at Onoki and sighed, "What a sorry sight..."

The Second Raikage, Gold and Silver Brothers looked at the Third Raikage, and the three of them shrugged together.

They didn't say anything...

Because they all understand how frustrating it is for numerical monsters to be countered when they encounter larger numerical values.

"We meet again, Mizukage!"

Only Hozuki Gengetsu waved with a grin, then seemed to be scolded by someone for a while, and his expression tightened from his playful state.

From the moment Ashina appeared, he stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi with shining eyes.

Madara Uchiha was wearing Tobi's clothes.

The wooden dragon was his latest idea...

He absorbed Hashirama's power and also possessed Tobi, the son of the Divine Tree. The two combined to impersonate the inheritor of Hashirama's will and become the leader of the "Scarlet" organization to mediate in the ninja world...

That's perfectly reasonable!

The reason for doing this is that Hiruzen Sarutobi's current strength means that impersonating Tobirama Senju, a second-rate character, would no longer meet the intensity requirements of a real fight...

Madara didn't realize one thing: he thought it was impossible for Tobirama to have Hashirama's power.

However, through word of mouth, a certain Second Hokage has almost become the ultimate scapegoat in the ninja world, and his potential and scientific research abilities have been demonized by the rumors...

Let alone replicating his own brother's techniques and cells...

Satsuki said that Tobirama had studied all the Sages of Six Paths!

Madara Uchiha floated high in the sky, his eyes filled with longing as he looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi:

"The 'Crimson' Organization has officially debuted in the Ninja World!"

"Hono, the successor to Hashirama's will, officially mediates the war in the ninja world..."

"This war is over! The Saga will take over Kumogakure and Iwagakure in the name of the previous Kukage. You Konoha should step down for now..."

The Third Raikage and Onoki's expressions changed drastically.

But nobody cares about them now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.

Through this encounter, he had confirmed Madara Uchiha's identity.

His words clearly implied the familiar patriarchal approach: when Konoha was about to reap the rewards of victory, he wanted to offer a "I'll keep your New Year's money safe for you" gesture...

If Konoha retreats like this, how will battlefield reparations be calculated?

"That person has an odd aura about them!"

Kaguya's voice turned serious, reminding her destined opponent: "Be careful! If you unleash your full power, you won't be able to defeat her!" She sensed the aura of a powerful opponent!

However, Ichishiki didn't sense Kaguya, because Hiruzen Sarutobi's Ten Thousand Seals Body Seal naturally acted as an isolation barrier, and he hadn't been impaled. A glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Did another mechanical deus ex machina appear in Uchiha Madara's body?

It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing...

"You must try your best to keep him calm and avoid direct combat. It would be best to find a way to drive him away..." Kaguya said in a deep voice, "The more power he uses, the faster Ichishiki will acquire the container!"

But after thinking about it, Kaguya felt that this was a bit too much for Hiruzen Sarutobi, and sighed.

With a trace of Isshiki, Kaguya became much more direct in her speech.

This is her most terrifying enemy; even the Sage of Six Paths isn't among them, since he's one of her own…

"Can't we fight?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a sudden inspiration; he had come up with a good idea.

He actually knows an expert who can mediate disputes!

All I saw was...

The Hokage clapped his hands together.

You are impure earth?

That glorious but defiled land!

A coffin slowly emerged from the earth.

The coffin lid opened, and a man stretched out, looking around with a blank expression, his face filled with shock and embarrassment.

"Huh?"

"What do you all do for a living? What are you all doing?"

First Hokage Hashirama Senju…

They have returned to the ninja world!
