Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

The center of heaven.

Supergravity space.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt the immense pressure coming from all directions and gently twisted his neck.

This is exactly the training ground he needs!

In the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi needed to activate his "Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique" or rely on Fugaku's Magnet Release eye technique to achieve "Gravity Tempering"...

But doing so is far inferior to Kaguya's supergravity space.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer needs to focus on maintaining the domain, and its strength surpasses the limits of Earth Release techniques or the limitations of ocular power... "The gravity here is truly terrifying..."

"If we were to enter this place rashly, most of the Konoha committee members would likely find it difficult to adapt and engage in regular combat."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said from the bottom of his heart, jumping slightly to feel the greatly reduced jumping power.

Urashiki, who was standing to the side, struggled to support his knees with his palms. After hearing these words, he raised his head and looked at the Hokage with a puzzled expression.

What on earth is this guy talking about?

Why can you keep jumping around like that?!

"Apu, you're a genius, your talent far surpasses mine..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Urashiki and said seriously, "If it were me in my younger days, I would have found it difficult to move once I stepped into this ancient forbidden land..."

"But you're different!"

"Your basic physical attributes still allow you to stand upright. You possess boundless energy and untapped talents, but having lived on the moon for so long, you haven't been able to fully realize them..."

Pu Shi blinked with difficulty.

really?

Is he really that strong?

In fact, what Hiruzen Sarutobi said wasn't entirely wrong. Urashiki's talent was at least above average among the Otsutsuki clan, but his attitude held him back a lot.

Urashiki possesses multiple Noble Phantasms, relying on powerful external aids, so he doesn't care much about planting trees or consuming Chakra Fruits. Among Chakra Fruits, it's extremely rare to find one similar to the "Burial Emperor Star" in the ninja world, where consuming too many would lead to a diminishing returns effect…

Furthermore, the Otsutsuki clan's "rigid rationality" means that without the intervention of the Great Bond of the Shinobi World, their training offers very limited improvement. Therefore, Urashiki has been living off his past achievements for who knows how many years…

It wasn't until he encountered Hiruzen Sarutobi that Urashiki realized that his pride in his bloodline and strength seemed insignificant in the face of a true monster... "Enter your second stage, Urashiki." A glint of light appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

After the Naruto talent entered the fast lane, Spirit Release was no longer something that could be described as a "secret technique," "bloodline limit," or "bloodline elimination."

It is gradually becoming a talent skill similar to Kaguya's "All-Killing Ash Bones"!

"I can see that there is some stagnation in the flow of chakra within your body. This may be the key reason why you are unable to improve yourself. I will help you break through these barriers during our sparring sessions..."

What Hiruzen Sarutobi saw was the materialization of the "deathly rationality" within Urashiki's body.

However, the Hokage decided to smash it to pieces, punch by punch, during their sparring session!

This wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi unilaterally wanting to help Urashiki improve; rather, within Konoha, there was truly no one else with Urashiki's physique who could spar with him to his heart's content…

Kaguya, inside Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, watched this scene and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

It's important to know that Hiruzen Sarutobi helped her improve through hands-on instruction and genjutsu simulations; he never actually hit her in the face with an elbow...

It's still a bit different for her!

Even so, Kaguya was still awestruck by Hiruzen Sarutobi's talent...

When she first entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, the Hokage at that time was just an ordinary ninja who used crudely made sealing techniques to restrict some of her chakra...

It was slightly unusual, but not enough to surprise Kaguya too much.

However, as they spent more time together, Kaguya unknowingly realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi had grown into a monster she couldn't comprehend! It was as if, while Kaguya was weaving chakra threads for him, Hiruzen was devouring and digesting a chakra fruit…

"Perhaps Hagoromo is right." Kaguya sighed. One Hiruzen Sarutobi was far more powerful than an army of 100,000 or even a million White Zetsu...

And then there's Konoha, which is gradually gaining control of all its natural energy...

"Thank goodness, thank goodness I had a stroke of luck that made Hiruzen my Jinchūriki." Kaguya chuckled softly, a thought flickering in her mind. Hiruzen's continuous improvement had actually given Kaguya a sense of "unworthiness," a feeling that his talent was too great, and she worried he might break his promise in the end…

However, the emotionally stable Hokage patiently told Kaguya that the two of them were comrades, brothers, and had a relationship of mutual support and progress.

Indeed, that is true.

Without Kaguya's help, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have been able to realize his inexhaustible talent at such a terrifying speed. "Second stage?" Urashiki took a deep breath and entered his previously proud "Crane Mode," finally managing to stand up with some effort.

In the past, when Urashiki was in this state, his personality would drastically change due to his immense power, making him arrogant and conceited. However, since being forced to do this by Hiruzen Sarutobi, this flaw has quickly disappeared...

Just like Nakamaro when he first entered Konoha, his inherited mental condition was cured by the Uchiha...

"Come on, let's fight, Aura."

"Only by constantly pushing your limits under immense pressure can you break free from the shackles that restrict you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't activate Sage Mode or enter the Eight Gates; instead, he threw a punch at Urashiki in his normal state! The force of this punch was just enough for Urashiki in his second stage to barely handle…

The two of them began a hand-to-hand combat in the most primal way within the supergravity space!

"My forehand is weak..."

"My backhand technique is poor!"

"Show some fighting spirit, Apu! Let me see your limits!"

Within the hypergravity space, Hiruzen Sarutobi's stern voice echoed continuously, and the sounds of fists colliding echoed like rolling stones! How much time had passed...

Urashiki finally couldn't maintain the second stage, and his Crane form quickly faded, causing him to fall to the ground.

After being relentlessly beaten by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Urashiki's stagnant physical strength seemed to loosen slightly under the powerful punches imbued with Spirit Release and the Will of Fire...

"You tried your best, Aura!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also quite satisfied with Urashiki's strength; as long as it matched Urashiki's normal form, it would be effective training for the Hokage himself. "Let's go, somewhere else..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi carried Urashiki on his back, and guided by Kaguya, they arrived at the icy space.

Urashiki, carried on his shoulder, weakly said, "Hokage-sama, I can't go on..."

"Instead of continuing to train, relax your body."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "A balance of tension and relaxation is the natural order, but ordinary relaxation is ineffective for our bodies, which is why we have to come here..."

"First, apply a cold compress to the ice and snow, then apply a hot compress to the lava. This will maximize the body's ability to eliminate fatigue and begin self-repair."

Pu's lips trembled slightly.

Are there no limits to human potential?

"Lord Hokage, I... I might not be able to adapt to your methods..."

He wanted to say that if he wanted to kill him, there was no need to be so subtle...

Just give me a few good punches!

"Don't worry, Apu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "I will protect you with Spirit Release and sealing techniques. You have already completed your first body tempering, which is a very good start."

"You'll gradually get used to it."

Is there going to be a next time?

However, in his extreme exhaustion, Urashiki felt that his body was indeed undergoing some inexplicable changes, as if he had eaten a small piece of a chakra fruit...

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's encouraging gaze, Urashiki nodded as if possessed:

"I'll do my best, Hokage-sama!"

"By the way, Kaguya..." Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject, then said to the weaver inside him, "You should try some real combat too. I'll control the intensity, so get ready..."

"Similar to the state of Kurama and Lady Mito, you should be able to do it too, right? I'll use a shadow clone to hold part of your chakra..." Kaguya's expression changed.

No?

Are we going to fall out with her?!

Kaguya clearly remembered that Hiruzen Sarutobi had just struck Urashiki three times with his elbows, causing Urashiki's golden Rinnegan to bulge out between his eyebrows... "Should I train too?"

"You're being rude..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly, "This is for your own good!"

During the Naruto era, Hiruzen Sarutobi utilized Kaguya's Amenominaka's multiple dimensions to conduct special training resembling a "psychic time chamber"...

Urashiki stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi amidst the snow and ice.

now.

An idea that should never have crossed his mind...

That is the Hokage. Compared to the current strongest member of the Otsutsuki clan after the disappearance of the Otsutsuki god Shibakai, who is superior to the entire clan with his own will, who is stronger?

The Otsutsuki clan also possesses the Will of Fire.

However, the full name of their Will of Fire is "Fire-style Will"!

"Perhaps Lord Fire-type is still stronger? After all, he possesses the legendary three forms..." Urashiki thought uncertainly to himself.

"However, unless something unexpected happens, it's impossible for Lord Hishiki to descend upon the ninja world... He doesn't even care about ordinary chakra fruits, he only pursues Lord Shibakai's corpse..."

Urashi sighed.

He felt incredibly pessimistic about the future of Isshiki and Momoshiki in the ninja world…

If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't intervened, the Otsutsuki pursuers might have been able to win. But if Hiruzen Sarutobi was included, then Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and the others wouldn't be much different from being hit by a speed bump...

Their natural skills are not good.

However, what Urashiki didn't know was...

After noticing Isshiki's repeated requests for help and his emphasis on the special nature of the ninja world, Ōtsutsuki Hishiki had developed a slight interest in this place and was considering taking a look around...

At that time, the clash between Hiruzen Sarutobi and the strongest member of the Otsutsuki clan, Hishiki, could perhaps be called a "clash of the Will of Fire"! And in Konoha.

Danzo and Kurama, a human and a fox, both dressed in green bodysuits, are running laps around the village with Might Guy, both smiling.

Recently, the two of them and the fox have been getting along very well...

"How's your training in the Eight Gates and Seven Days Breathing Technique going? Combined with the Earth Spider Clan's forbidden natural energy techniques, and the wind element..."

Kurama chuckled and asked Danzo, "I knew it. The former lieutenant had the strongest Will of Fire. He was always worrying about how we should fight back if a powerful enemy invaded."

"Be prepared for danger even in times of peace!"

Danzo said with a smile, "I've barely gotten the hang of it! With Mito-sama's guidance, I've developed a stronger will, and I believe I can do it..."

The practice of the Eight Gates requires an extremely pure will.

Logically speaking, Danzo was not qualified to practice.

Physically, I meet the requirements, thanks to the presence of specialized Hashirama cells; there aren't any major issues with my physical health...

However, willpower is very difficult to quantify.

To break free from the deep-seated constraints of the body through willpower, one must constantly hone oneself with a pure and unwavering mind, guided by the will to protect... Clearly, Danzo, with his previously complex mind, could not do this.

But now, with a changed mindset, the Sunshine Danzou went to Mito and, using the "Kotoamatsukami" he had seized from Itachi of the alternate dimension, completely eradicated the darkness and obsession that had lingered in his heart for decades...

He did not issue any mandatory orders, but simply had Kotoamatsukami help him cleanse all pretense and scheming.

Having transcended time and space, he rediscovered his desire to protect Konoha alongside Hiruzen, his pure and resolute determination to burn everything for the village, and gained the aptitude to train in the Eight Gates.

Just like Hiruzen Sarutobi's "Ten Thousand Seals Body Seal," the entire process was witnessed by Mito.

"You're not bad either, Nine-Tails Committee Member. As expected of the most knowledgeable tailed beast, you've actually modified the Eight Gates into a technique that suits you..." Danzo smiled and gave Nine-Tails a thumbs up.

"You flatter me, you flatter me! I was just thinking that we need to have some trump cards up our sleeves, so that we can have a chance to fight back when facing enemies of extraordinary strength..." "We can't let the Hokage charge into battle alone!"

Nine-Tailed Fox waved its hand modestly, but its nine tails kept swaying.

Clearly, he was quite pleased with the mutual flattery between himself and Danzo...

What Danzo was referring to was the "heavy particle mode" that Kurama was currently researching. The two of them, Danzo and Kurama, were now with Might Guy, learning from this master of the "Eight Gates Technique".

Danzo and Kurama both enjoy life in Konoha now.

However, Danzo knew that his brother Hiruzen was still training relentlessly, seemingly growing stronger without stopping, as if facing some indescribable imaginary enemy…

He couldn't accept the thought that if the ninja world truly encountered such a powerful enemy, he wouldn't be able to help Hiruzen...

The same applies to the Nine-Tails.

It's not a fox anymore...

It is the Nine-Tails Lord who has countless companions!

Whether it's Madara Uchiha, the Ten-Tails, or even beings like the Six Paths Elder...

If Konoha were to encounter such an enemy, Kurama would never want to be as powerless as it was in the past, without even the strength to resist, or even become a tool of the enemy!

It needs the power to protect what it cherishes!

The "heavy particle mode," which gradually evolved from the "Eight Gates," is Kurama's goal and answer for itself.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ninja world.

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes and pondered.

He heard from Izuna about his ending and final chapter in another dimension…

It's barely passable.

But it still didn't satisfy him.

"I must do better than him..."

"I am the founder of Konoha, the tester and verifier of the Will of Fire, not a madman obsessed with the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi..." Madara Uchiha took a deep breath.

At this moment, the "wedge" of the first style took deeper root in his body.

But Ban's resolute will and determination, in this contrast, slowly reached a new level!
