Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Ashina Uzumaki activated Kagura's Mind's Eye, sensing Nagato's chakra...

Upon closer inspection, Ashina's expression grew increasingly strange.

Are these still members of their Whirlpool Clan?

He could sense distinct Uchiha and Hyuga auras within Nagato's chakra, and even the One-Tailed Beast's chakra seemed to have been internalized by him. He could even detect a trace of the Kaguya clan's chakra...

Where did this ultimate Frankenstein's monster come from?

Nagato scrutinized Ashina Uzumaki, his expression equally strange.

Mito's father, the legendary strongest sealing ninja, was actually a rather eccentric and unreliable old man... This made it hard for Nagato to imagine how the young Ashina Uzumaki had so arrogantly erected a sign at the gates of Uzushiogakure, telling the Second Hokage to get out immediately...

"Speaking of which..."

Nagato paused, gazing at Ashina's striking red hair, which mirrored his own, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you really make the Second Hokage leave back then?"

Uzumaki Ashina was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, nodding cheerfully: "Yeah, yeah, that white-haired brat thought he was invincible with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but I still managed to sense it..."

As people get older, they tend to reminisce about the past.

Even things that annoyed me at the time have a unique flavor when I look back on them now.

"But that guy has grown into something I can't understand..."

Ashina Uzumaki shook his head with a sigh: "Me and those idiots always thought that the person behind our resurrection was Tobirama Senju, but we never imagined it was Madara Uchiha!"

After Isshiki took control of Madara and went berserk, control of Ashina and the others naturally transferred to him.

However, Isshiki had no intention of keeping Madara's identity a secret; it meant nothing to him.

This made Ashina and the others realize that after all these years, they had mistaken their leader...

"Thinking about it now, Madara and Tobirama aren't really that different... They just have different styles of doing things, one is hot-tempered and the other is cunning..."

"They may seem to be at odds, but the core of their thinking is quite similar."

"In my opinion, the only difference is that one was born into the Uchiha clan and the other into the Senju clan. If they were from the same clan, they would probably be inseparable and become brothers..."

As Ashina thought of this, he instinctively reached for his phone to post the trending topic "Madara and Tobirama are essentially brothers" on the ninja forum, but then he sighed.

I'll post it later...

Now is not the time; he's still being controlled!

"Oh, this..."

Nagato, his face strained, said, "So, Lord Tobirama and Lord Madara, according to you, they really are a pair of star-crossed lovers... So, because they're not from the same clan, they were forced into this tragic love story, right?"

"You have the potential to be a swindler, kid. After the war, send me a private message on the Ninja World Forum to follow you..." Uzumaki Ashina laughed heartily, his aged voice echoing across the battlefield.

I love listening to this Warring States period joke!

"Your eyes..."

Ashina Uzumaki composed himself slightly and asked seriously, "How did you do that, kid?"

Ashina knew that Nagato had transplanted the Byakugan and Sharingan.

But this is, after all, a "transplant," merely a filling of external material; it shouldn't affect Nagato's chakra...

"I don't know either…"

"The research department said that my body has an extremely strong natural compatibility, so not only did I get the Byakugan and Sharingan, but I also later received the Cursed Seal, Hashirama cells, and some cells from the Kaguya clan..."

Nagato shrugged:

"And there really wasn't any rejection reaction, completely different from when I had the Rinnegan before..."

What Nagato didn't know was...

Years of modifications to his body using the Rinnegan gave Nagato a foundation of the power of all things in the universe, making him a good "base" material, compatible with various "insertion materials"...

Combined with his own talent and the technology of the research department, all these factors made Nagato the first ninja in Konoha to achieve initial success in bloodline fusion...

It has a hint of being a "man-made miniature six realms"!

As for Nagato's eyes, they were also undergoing changes and growth in accordance with his body, and with the subtle guidance of the ramen shop owner and the florist, they were showing the initial form of the differentiation between the "Tensekaigan and Rinnegan"...

Perhaps the future will be a state of "half reincarnation, half rebirth"...

This is one of the reasons why, in the current Konoha landscape, Nagato is the leader of the "non-native Konoha region," and of course, it is also inseparable from his dual identity as a member of the Hokage lineage and the Uzumaki clan...

Everyone is extremely optimistic about his future election as a member of the Konoha Committee!

"Times have really changed."

A glint of insight flashed in Ashina's eyes as he said softly, "That's more like it! In the past, we always thought that ninjas were getting weaker with each generation..."

"A truly good era is one where everyone becomes stronger!"

"As expected of Hiruzen, the strongest Hokage who brought my 'Ten Thousand Seals Body Seal' to its fullest glory, a man who, though not from the Uzumaki clan, is worthy of being the honorary head of the Uzumaki clan, and my disciple whom I have long admired..."

Nagato's lips twitched upon hearing this.

How can this old man be so good at faking accidents?

Just because you're Mito-sama's father, you're spouting nonsense, aren't you!

"but…"

"We should also thank that so-called 'evil immortal,' otherwise how would we have had the opportunity to rightfully fight against the younger generation? If this era belongs to you, then prove it to me!"

Ashina Uzumaki twisted his neck:

"I'm currently under control, which is why I can talk to you so much. My resistance is strong, but it's my limit... You all need to be careful. Controlling Madara's existence makes him incredibly powerful..."

Nagato nodded thoughtfully.

Ancient Sengoku period ninja?

The strongest sealing technique?

Nagato really didn't take him seriously...

The idea that older is always stronger only applies if a technique has been used to break through a generational gap...

However, the Warring States period was connected to a single country and village, not to mention that Konoha was constantly developing under the light of the Will of Fire, so there was absolutely no possibility that it was weaker than the Warring States period!

Nagato had that kind of confidence.

"Just hang in there a little longer..."

"You won't be able to speak in a moment, one last question..."

"If the leader of the Crimson Organization is Lord Madara, then that means those legends are misunderstandings? Many things about the Second Hokage are misunderstandings..." "In fact, the Second Hokage doesn't even exist in the ninja world?"

Despite facing a formidable enemy, Nagato could not suppress the burning gossip within him.

There's nothing we can do about it...

Because "Where did Tobirama go?" is a topic of immense interest and heated discussion throughout the entire ninja world, it is undoubtedly the top trending topic... Whenever a similar post appears, even if there are many similar posts on the front page, it can attract an unusually large number of discussions and replies, with all sorts of speculations and inferences emerging...

"Misunderstand?"

Ashina Uzumaki smiled: "At first, I thought the same thing as you... but to think that way would be to underestimate Hiruzen's teacher, the original sin of the Senju clan..."

"Tobirama Senju was a real person!"

Ashina Uzumaki said with extreme seriousness, "Kid, you must remember, Tobirama Senju is a ninja who learns, adapts to the times, and innovates. That's the fundamental reason why he's so strong..."

"He doesn't seem to be part of the Scarlet Organization."

"But he had orchestrated everything, and could even manipulate the Gedo Mazo and the Rinnegan in another dimension, knowing the whereabouts of Izuna from the Scarlet Organization and Aomizu from Konoha..."

"Perhaps the evil sage inside Madara was also sealed away by Tobirama, but this is just my personal speculation, and I don't have any strong evidence yet."

Nagato was stunned.

So, that great one's hand has already reached into another dimension?

Nagato's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her glass-like eyes widened.

"That's what I was saying..."

"I've heard Orochimaru and Jiraiya mention that kind villagers often bring us extremely valuable research materials, saying they found them somewhere in their homes..."

"At first, everyone thought it was due to the villagers of Konoha having a family tradition of martial arts, but later they also found it strange..."

"Now it all makes sense! We've finally found the reason behind it..."

"This must have been done by Lord Tobirama!"

Ashina Uzumaki nodded in deep agreement, saying:

"Yeah, that's just Tobirama's personality! He can't bring himself to do it openly, so he always has to go around in circles. Many Sengoku ninjas had this problem..."

"Unlike me, I've always used encouragement in my parenting, and I've always believed that Hiruzen can do it!"

Nagato glanced at Ashina Uzumaki with a puzzled look.

If it weren't for Old Deng's special status, Nagato would have really said something unpleasant...

He's been trying to take advantage of the Hokage ever since he appeared!

Unbeknownst to many, perhaps starting from when the Sage of Six Paths actively pressured Hagoromo Otsutsuki, some of the Sage of Justice's subtle maneuvers were silently transferred to Tobirama...

Today, even some minor acts of fairness by Otsutsuki Hamura are attributed to the concept of "Tobirama"...

"alright…"

"I can't control myself anymore, we have to fight!"

Ashina Uzumaki let out a long breath, his Rinnegan flashing with purple light: "Watch out, kid! My abilities are gravity and repulsion, and I also possess the sealing techniques of the vortex..."

"If I touch you, you're in for a world of trouble..."

Before Ashina could finish speaking, Nagato began to unleash his chakra on the spot!

The second stage unique to high-ranking Konoha ninjas…

And the Will of Fire: Don't wait until you're low on health to activate the second phase; go all out from the start when facing a strong enemy!

Nagato strictly adhered to this principle.

now.

With the combined power of Hashirama's cells and the cursed seal, flame-like sage eyeshadow appeared beneath Nagato's eyelids.

The One-Tailed Beast within him also continuously supplied his Jinchūriki with chakra; Shukaku's sealing patterns covered Nagato's entire body, and a touch of deep purple appeared around his eyes...

Meanwhile.

A faint layer of bone armor emerged on Nagato's body, combined with the deep purple chakra of the One-Tailed Beast after their minds were connected, covering his entire body!

Layers of Vajra-like protective rings were wrapped around both sides of the forearm as arm guards.

Combined with the dark, crystalline color in his eyes, Nagato seemed no longer to be human…

Ashina Uzumaki stared in disbelief at the scene.

Suddenly, his role as both the "gravity" and "repulsion" of the Heavenly Dao seemed utterly insignificant...

Are modern ninjas using too many tricks?

"I'll see you off!"

"If you lose control and are forced to harm Konoha ninjas, you will surely feel terrible... This will also affect the reputation of our Uzumaki clan!"

As Nagato spoke, he suddenly sprang up!

The fist struck like a collapsing mountain, tearing through space with its force, and came crashing down on Ashina Uzumaki!

Shinra Tensei!

At this moment, Ashina Uzumaki unleashed his full power, using a powerful repulsive force to resist Nagato's overwhelmingly strong physical body.

The repulsive force and the punching force collided, the powerful impact seemingly shaking the earth...

"Although what this kid said is true..."

"But he doesn't look like a Uzumaki clan ninja at all. He looks like an artificial monster that came out of Tobirama Senju's secret laboratory..." Uzumaki Ashina thought to himself.

His original plan was to educate the younger generation, then attempt to limit himself and be sealed away, thus showcasing the demeanor and style of a master… but Nagato doesn't seem to intend to give him that opportunity…

The force of the punch and the repulsive force collided, seemingly evenly matched.

As Ashina was still considering his next move, he saw Nagato's muscles bulge and jut out, his hands clasped together forcefully, the sound of his palms colliding being extremely heavy...

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Nagato's crystal eyes were fixed on Ashina Uzumaki, and he let out a roar like a wild beast:

"Super Planetary Devastation!"

An extremely condensed black core appeared in mid-air, from which countless diamond chains extended, binding not only Ashina Uzumaki himself but also the surrounding White Zetsu...

Upon seeing this move, the Konoha ninjas instinctively activated their "Will of Fire Technique," becoming a unified whole through the interconnectedness of their chakra, and swiftly retreating against the aftershocks of the repulsive force...

"This young man's fighting style..."

For a moment, Ashina Uzumaki was somewhat dazed.

Nagato gave him a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of Hashirama Senju…

Pure and powerful!

Ashina's vortex continuously generated repulsive force, but against Nagato's trump card, "Super Planetary Devastation," the repulsive force was clearly no match for this level of gravity...

The sandstorm and earth fragments swept up by "Super Planetary Devastation" were quickly replaced by sealing jutsu patterns appearing on the surface, thanks to the power of the One-Tailed Beast...

"Desert Burial Seal!

"This is not a civil war within the Uzumaki clan..."

"It is proof that the Will of Fire has triumphed over the Warring States period!" Nagato recalled Fugaku's self-criticism in the Guard Department and the Jonin Class, and with a sudden inspiration, he used it to shout.

A battle of love and hate among the Uchiha?

Actually, it's a good topic for publicity...

Ashina Uzumaki was sealed tightly within Planetary Devastation, surrounded by countless fragments of rock, sand, and adamantine seals, locked in place by a core filled with powerful gravity…

But Ashina's expression changed after taking one last look at Nagato, and she smiled with relief.

"You're quite the talker, kid..."

Not only can he fight, but he also possesses the Will of Fire…

Thus, the future of the Uzumaki clan...

Only when the next generation is entrusted to Nagato can we truly rest easy!

During the Nagato campaign.

On the other side of the battlefield.

The battle originating from the Hidden Mist is also underway.

Hozuki Gengetsu stared at Nakamaro for a moment, then couldn't help but ask:

"The Orphan of the Mist..."

"Did you really write this?!"
