Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

It seemed to be an illusion, but Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have caught a glimpse of Danzo's shadow in a few particles in a distant alternate dimension...

"What is this?"

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's perception, at the very core of the ninja world, there was a massive energy source that constantly emitted invisible radiation!

"I can't sense any life force in it..."

"And who is this supreme being? It seems to be a remnant..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat shocked.

The ninja world actually contains energy entities that can only be detected by those in his current state? This is truly astonishing…

So, whether it's the Otsutsuki, the Sage, or the natives, they were all later arrivals?

Hiruzen Sarutobi silently marked the location of the remains.

The Naruto also discovered something interesting…

Although the remains are located at the Earth's core, there seem to be some extremely hidden fragments scattered on the surface, which contain some information.

In reality, the 'Shibai remains' that Otsutsuki Isshiki found in the original timeline were these so-called 'remains', not the true body.

The Hokage refocused his attention on the Fire Style in front of him.

At this moment, he could see the Fire Style's domain structure, which he was gripping by the shoulder, was expanding with all its might, and he could also vaguely see a line...

That was a matter of life and death, like fire!

Fire Style's health bar was revealed in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi!

The Hokage confidently curled the corners of his mouth.

Huo Shi, who was struggling to hold on, realized that the man in front of him showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he intensified his efforts, wanting to take Huo Shi down with him...

At this moment, both the Fire Style and Hiruzen Sarutobi were at their last gasp.

The two had long since lost their human form, scorched by the explosive solar energy beams until they resembled two pieces of withered wood, only their inner life force still bursting forth in defiance…

"Why, why, why!"

"Why would someone who has cultivated to your level fight me to the death for the sake of these ants behind you?"

"I've accepted you! Did you hear me? I've accepted you! Let's not continue like this, we can sit down and talk!"

Fire Style let out a deafening roar.

He was filled with deep regret…

The Tibetans shouldn't have been killed!

If Zangshiki were spared, the two of them, working together, could potentially withstand Hiruzen Sarutobi's pillar of sunlight, thanks to Zangshiki's innate ability to quickly recover as long as he wasn't killed, combined with his omniscience and omnipotence.

Even though Zangshiki was severely injured by Danzo, having an extra person with freedom of movement was much easier than enduring Hiruzen Sarutobi's ferocious onslaught alone...

At least the Tibetan style was able to interrupt Kaguya's process of gathering energy from the entire ninja world using Infinite Tsukuyomi, preventing Hiruzen Sarutobi from being significantly strengthened once again...

But it was too late to regret it.

Zangshiki was killed by Hijiri himself, and was driven to the brink of death by Hiruzen Sarutobi's brother Danzo. The outcome was actually predetermined from the beginning.

If given the chance to do it all over again, Huo Shi wouldn't be deterred from killing Zang Shi either. He would probably just make a quick retreat after succeeding, finding it hard to give up such a juicy piece of meat...

"Danzo, you are the best Hokage assistant in Konoha history."

Hiruzen Sarutobi silently recited his friend's name in his heart, gathering all the energy inside and outside his body, and the pillar of sunlight exploded to its maximum in that instant!

The earth crumbled, the dome was pierced, and even the sun seemed to lose its color under the intense light and flames…

Everyone in the ninja world was forced to turn their heads away.

They couldn't look directly at the light.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The intense light and flames dissipated, and the pillars of sunlight vanished.

At the very center, only two charred bodies stood.

I can't tell which is the Fire Style and which is Hiruzen Sarutobi...

The two bodies had long since become molecularly carbonized, leaving only cracked, dark red lines, with charred debris constantly disintegrating and splitting apart…

Tobirama, Orochimaru, and the others rushed over without regard for their own safety.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked, yet none dared to move.

The breathing at the scene was incredibly heavy…

Even Tobirama didn't know how to deal with it.

All I saw was...

One of the black, charred shells moved.

It's Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Hokage released the Fire Style's arm, a ferocious grin spreading across his face. He slowly raised his fist, which was still shedding charred bits, and leisurely pounded it towards the Hokage's chest!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's punch was incredibly slow.

Even the students of Konoha's Ninja Academy could clearly see the trajectory of this punch, but Fire Style no longer had the strength to dodge.

At the moment of contact.

The carbonized fire style completely disintegrated, was erased at the particle level, and then entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, which had a sealing nature, and was completely absorbed!

In the end, the Hokage won this battle!

Tobirama and Orochimaru had a sudden thought.

At that moment, Tobirama and Orochimaru clasped their hands together, understanding each other perfectly, and connected to the 'Ninja Network' using a jutsu, broadcasting Hiruzen Sarutobi's battle record live to the entire ninja world...

For the sake of the ninja world, to protect those who truly burn themselves out in flames!

"Lord Hokage!"

Witnessing the Hokage reduced to ashes, countless ninjas and civilians once again reached out their hands, anxiously focusing their gaze on the Eye of the Moon, continuing to transfer power to the Hokage…

Even though they were exhausted, they absolutely did not want to see the heroes who protected the ninja world fall because of that damned Otsutsuki...

The ninja world desperately needs a Hokage, it desperately needs Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Everyone raised their hands, and light emanated from their hands.

This time, Kaguya is no longer needed as a transit point.

The shouts, cries, prayers, and roars of the people, carried by energy and light, converged into torrents that flowed in all directions into the Hokage's charred and withered body...

The flames of love and hope gently soothed Hiruzen Sarutobi's wounds.

A moment later.

The first thing to crack was the charred shell on the Hokage's chest; a small crack appeared, and as more and more cracks appeared, it became as dense as a spider web.

Golden rays burst forth from the cracks, breaking through the hard shell on its surface!

Having reached the threshold of a new realm through ultimate sublimation, Hiruzen Sarutobi, having absorbed the essence of the Fire Style, began the reconstruction of his physical body and constitution with the help of the entire ninja world.

In an instant.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the Naruto's body began to be reconstructed, from meridians and muscles to skin and bones, with flesh and bones growing wildly...

He has returned to the Hokage as everyone knows him.

But there is only one difference.

A faint golden hue, like the color of the sun, appeared in the Hokage's eyes...

"Everyone."

"I am back."

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his arms, as if embracing the heavens and earth, and whispered, "In the boundless flames, I saw the light of everyone..."

"It was through the collective efforts of all of us that we won this war!"

"I love you all."

"The war is over!"

"And peace has come!"

The ninjas were taken aback at first.

The entire ninja world then became a sea of ​​celebration!

Everyone was chanting Hiruzen Sarutobi's name, expressing their respect and love for the Hokage, and recalling this unforgettable miracle!

Orochimaru and Tobirama looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with smiles on their faces.

Hashirama and Madara whispered to each other, bumping shoulders.

Hizashi rushed over, asking the Hokage about his health with great concern.

Young Sasuke and young Naruto embraced each other, cheering for the victory.

Toneri and Sasuke jumped and danced, celebrating the Hokage's arrival...

The Sage of Rokudo and Hamura stood behind them, the two brothers holding hands and singing an ancient song…

Black Zetsu, Ah-Huo, and the remaining White Zetsu raised their hands and cheered.

The immortals of the three holy sites are no exception.

Everyone is celebrating.

Celebrating the arrival of a new era!
