The world I hear is completely different from yours.

My last sentence actually contained so much meaning?! Did I really think that much? To glean so much from a simple sentence—even the reading comprehension questions in the Chunin Exams weren't this difficult! Were you two Rain Ninja the top humanities students in the Chunin Exams back then?!

At this moment, Konan, who had been silently watching everything from behind, tugged at Nagato's sleeve: "Nagato, is the function of this Ultraman mask really just persuasion and lecturing? It seems more like a brainwashing illusion technique!"

“It’s not brainwashing illusion, it’s talk-no-jutsu.” Nagato Yuki answered firmly, “Because brainwashing doesn’t require speaking, just a glare is enough. But this mask can only exert its power if it can speak, so the power of this mask is talk-no-jutsu, but other people’s preaching requires long speeches, while this mask’s preaching only needs a short sentence.”

After saying that, Nagato stepped forward, gently pushed open the conference room door that had been kicked open by the Rain Ninja, turned around and said to Yahiko, who had a blank expression, "Now is not the time to be dazed. They outside need your strength."

"!!!" Yahiko immediately came to his senses, and then, facing the sounds of fighting coming from outside, he led the charge out.

At this moment, the Akatsuki's stronghold had long since become a battlefield of carnage. Laughter, screams, and the clash of weapons mingled incessantly. Flames, corpses, blood, remains, and people fighting madly together formed a hellish scene. In this vividly colored picture, people were constantly wailing in pain, constantly falling and dying, weaving together a death symphony directed by the Grim Reaper.

Then, Yahiko stepped into this hell, stood at the highest point of the battlefield, and looked down at the living beings below.

"Stop it, all of you!!!" Yahiko shouted.

Ultraman Mask Special Feature: The Strongest Talk-no-Jutsu Activated for the Third Time!

boom!!!!

In the eyes of everyone on the battlefield, the moment Yahiko finished speaking, endless holy light descended upon the battlefield! The bloody atmosphere between heaven and earth was instantly swept away, and the warm light shone on the people, driving away every trace of killing intent in their bodies. They all involuntarily stopped their movements, staring blankly at the prophet Yahiko standing on the high place, their hearts filled with endless worship. That was something that no human could do; it was something that only a god could do!

"Now it's all over. No matter what you did before, I forgive you now!" Yahiko said loudly. As a leader who was determined to achieve world peace through non-extreme violence, he was willing to forgive the Rain Ninja who suddenly launched the attack. It was all for the sake of world peace!

Ultraman Mask Special Feature: The Fourth Activation of the Ultimate Talk-no-Jutsu!!

In the eyes of everyone on the battlefield, a huge green halo appeared above Yahiko's head, illuminating every corner of the battlefield and shining into the hearts of everyone.

It's actually a bold, forgiving green color!! If Tian Qing were here, she would definitely shout it out loud.

That's right, this scene is exactly the same as the legendary highest level of power in the One Piece world: the green-colored Haki! As the pinnacle of all Haki, the green-colored Haki is much more difficult to cultivate than Haki such as Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki, because only those whose beloved has been taken away countless times and who have worn countless green hats on their heads can comprehend this green-colored Haki!

Clang! Clang! These are the sounds of weapons falling to the ground from the hands of people on the battlefield!

Upon hearing Yahiko's words, the people on the battlefield were moved to tears, dropping their weapons and weeping bitterly: "My God, the prophet Yahiko actually said he forgave us? How could such sinful people as us be forgiven? What a merciful prophet Yahiko!"

People looked up at the huge green halo above Yahiko's head, and their hearts were filled with boundless admiration. Then they raised their fists, shouted Yahiko's name, and vowed to fight for the Prophet for the rest of their lives!

On the distant mountainside, Ye Cang stared in disbelief at everything happening on the battlefield: "This power... truly worthy of being the Six Paths of Pain. Only such a powerful being is qualified to be the mastermind behind the world!"

PS Today's update

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Ninja Who Doesn't Want to Pass on the Flame Isn't a Good Hokage

Looking at the people on the battlefield who had stopped fighting each other, Yahiko felt a surge of joy. He was truly happy because he had finally found a practical way to achieve world peace without resorting to extreme violence.

When he saw the people on the battlefield who had been fighting each other and thinking only of stabbing their weapons into the bodies of their enemies all drop their weapons and stand together under his banner as if they had forgotten the bloody hatred they had fought before, he suddenly realized that he had found a goal worth fighting for his whole life. It was the original intention that he had shared with Nagato and Konan when they founded the Akatsuki organization: to achieve eternal world peace without using extreme violence.

“I’m sorry, Nagato,” Yahiko said softly to Nagato behind him, “I’m afraid I can’t return this mask to you. I need its power.”

In response to Yahiko's sudden request, Nagato Yuki simply and succinctly replied in a soft voice, "Yes."

However, after a few seconds, Nagato continued, "But you need to be careful. Activating this mask's ability to modify other people's trust information requires a lot of energy. If you wear it continuously, it will constantly drain your body's energy without any regard for your safety. Therefore, to avoid harming your body, please do not wear it continuously."

"Of course, I'll be careful." Yahiko seemed oblivious to the warning in Nagato's words and answered softly, but those around him could hear the perfunctory tone in his reply.

So what if the power of this mask is harmful to the body? Aren't there many powers with similar side effects in the ninja world? In order to obtain the power to realize their ninja way, countless ninjas will recklessly borrow this power that will eventually kill them, just like moths to a flame. After all, they have long since become indifferent to life and death because of the high-risk and high-mortality profession of ninja.

This is especially true for someone with a strong will like Yahiko.

Therefore, even if the mask will eventually drain him of all his strength and leave him emaciated, Yahiko will still use its power without hesitation.

"This must be what Jiraiya-sensei meant by the Will of Fire?" Yahiko recalled Jiraiya-sensei's previous teachings and clenched his fist inwardly. "I will use myself as kindling to ignite the fire and illuminate the world. This belief of mine will be passed down from generation to generation. The heroes of later generations who inherit the will of fire will take up my flame and become kindling for the new era, continuing to illuminate the dark world, dispel the endless darkness of war, and let the world forever bathe in the dawn of peace!"

The first Lord of Cinder, Yahiko, was born!

Then Lord Yahiko of Cinder issued a command to his supporters on the battlefield: "Move! In the name of Lord Yahiko of Cinder, all advance towards Amegakure! It is time to end this civil war!"

Ultraman mask special feature: The ultimate talk-no-jutsu activated!!!

In the eyes of everyone on the battlefield, Yahiko, with his green halo of forgiveness above his head, once again shone with dazzling brilliance, like a sun illuminating the world! And his deafening declaration to end the war deeply shook their hearts: As expected of Lord Yahiko, such a great ambition, just like a dazzling banner leading us to the light!

So everyone raised their arms and cheered for their king, uttering their most sublime praise: "Praise the sun!"

Not long after, news that surprised the world came from the Land of Rain, which had just been embroiled in a bloody civil war: Yahiko, the leader of a small organization with little power, called himself the "Lord of Cinder" and quickly ended the war in just a few days. He also brought all the people of Amegakure under his command with almost no bloodshed, becoming the new leader of Amegakure.

Then the Land of Rain announced its withdrawal from the Third Shinobi World War and began actively calling on the major powers to calmly sit down and negotiate, and to stop the pointless war. Unfortunately, after the Land of Rain issued its announcement, no country responded to the call of this small nation. After all, how could a small country like the Land of Rain possibly have much influence? The announcement was even used as a joke by other major powers.

“There’s no need to pay attention to those pointless rumors,” Lord Yahiko said quietly, sitting on the main seat, to the messenger who had returned to report. “One day, the sun’s radiance will shine on the whole world!”

..........................

In the Land of Fire, the Third Hokage, Ameharu, looked at the notice sent by the Land of Rain with a suspicious expression: "What on earth is Yahiko up to?"

Previously, under the guise of a meeting, Ameyo prevented Shimura Danzo from escaping and also eliminated the traitors within the Anbu who had secretly defected to the Root organization, preventing the entire Root organization from following Danzo's orders to go to the Land of Rain. This caused Danzo and Hanzo's plan to jointly deal with the Akatsuki organization to quickly fail.

Afterwards, Ame received news that Hanzo and his group had been assassinated by someone from the Akatsuki. Considering that the Akatsuki was still very weak, Ame naturally assumed that it was because Nagato had awakened the Rinnegan during the battle. Moreover, Yahiko did not die, and Nagato did not turn evil. Therefore, from the outcome, it was a win-win situation.

But what happened next was a bit unexpected for Tianqing. The ninjas of Amegakure actually clamored to wipe out the Akatsuki organization and started a civil war in the Land of Rain? Weren't they afraid that Nagato Uzumaki, who had awakened the Rinnegan, would kill them with a single Shinra Tensei?

As more and more intelligence about the civil war in the Land of Rain came in, even more surprising things happened to Tensei. The Rain Ninja actually managed to infiltrate the Akatsuki's stronghold, but Nagato, who had "awakened the Rinnegan," still hadn't appeared? What was going on? Why was the course of events so different from the original script?

The last piece of intelligence regarding the civil war in the Land of Rain was even stranger. Yahiko suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield, radiating brilliant light, and then everyone on the battlefield became his followers? What did this nonsensical intelligence mean? Tian Qing stared at the intelligence report with a completely confused mind. Could it be that Yahiko suddenly awakened and became the god of third wheels, vowing to illuminate the whole world and blind all the scoundrels?

Unfortunately, the Konoha spy who had infiltrated the battlefield never sent back any more intelligence. Instead, he resolutely declared that he would remain in the Land of Rain forever, and then cut off all contact while shouting slogans such as "I will fight for Lord Yahiko for the rest of my life and strive to pass on the torch," thus cleanly and decisively betraying Konoha.

Like this Konoha spy, all the other spies sent by various major powers to infiltrate the vicinity of the battlefield also betrayed their village. Under the influence of Yahiko's powerful persuasive words, they all reformed and became Yahiko's subordinates, striving towards the great goal of becoming the torchbearers of the new era.

PS First update

Chapter Thirty: The Most Important Thing for Konoha Men is Endurance

While the Land of Rain swiftly joined the war and withdrew even faster, the Land of Wind's army had already turned the Land of Valleys upside down. In particular, the valley where Minato Namikaze and Sasori had fought was considered the battlefield where the missing Third Kazekage might have fought the enemy, as traces of Sasori's use of Magnet Release were faintly visible there.

The Sand Village invested a great deal of manpower and time in this valley, carefully exploring it and sifting through everything inside. They were determined to find a clue to the whereabouts of the Third Kazekage, with the spirit of searching high and low.

However, it was all in vain; the scorpion's highly corrosive venom successfully destroyed all clues that could have caused further trouble.

A deep roar broke the silence of the military camp in a Sand Ninja tent.

"What?! Still nothing found?" Maki, the vanguard commander of the Sand Ninja Army, stared with bloodshot eyes at the ninja who had just returned from the excavation site in the valley to report on the search results, and roared in a low voice.

After a long silence, he sighed deeply: "Let's terminate the investigation and have them withdraw to regroup."

"Lord Maki!" A Sand Ninja captain stood up immediately and said urgently to Maki, "Let me lead my men to search one last time, just one more time!! This time I will definitely find a clue!!"

The Third Kazekage, known as the "Strongest Kazekage," held immense weight in the hearts of the Sand Ninja. His sudden disappearance was utterly unacceptable to these fervently devoted followers, driving them to search tirelessly for any clues related to him, willing to pay any price. The Sand Ninja captain who had just stood up was one of them.

"No!" Maki flatly refused the Sand Ninja Captain's request, then handed him a piece of intelligence: "This is intelligence we just received. The other major powers have already completed their troop mobilization during this time and will soon launch an attack on us. We don't have much time to waste! We must immediately let our exhausted soldiers rest, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"But!" The Sand Ninja captain was about to say something, but seeing Maki's resolute expression, he had no choice but to sit down reluctantly.

Immediately, the camp fell into an anxious silence once again.

"Something terrible has happened! Lord Maki!" A ninja's hoarse voice shattered the silence in the tent: "One of our logistics units has just been attacked by the enemy! All the supplies and provisions have been burned!!"

"What?!" Maki roared in fury, leaping to his feet and charging towards the tent's exit, weapon in hand. "All Jonin, follow me! These damned enemy ninjas, we'll teach them a lesson this time!!"

When the army of the Land of Wind launched a large-scale invasion of the Land of Valleys, the Land of Valleys, as a major commercial center, still had many caravans from all over the world staying there. Among them were naturally many ninjas from various countries who were hired by the caravans to act as their guards.

When the Sand Ninja army demanded a unified inspection and management of all caravans under the pretext of a search, an irreconcilable conflict naturally broke out between the two sides. Although most of these ninjas were subsequently surrounded and eliminated by the Sand Ninja army, a small number of ninjas from other countries successfully escaped the Sand Ninja's encirclement and began to wage guerrilla warfare against the Sand Ninja army in the Valley.

Among them, the Sand Ninja Army hated the most a four-man squad from Konoha.

Kakashi Hatake crouched in a concealed bunker, watching the distance. After spotting the figures appearing on the horizon, he shouted into the radio on his arm, "Sand Ninja reinforcements spotted in the distance! Expected to arrive in three minutes. Obito, haven't you dealt with things on your side yet?!"

"Right away, right away!" Hearing his comrade's urging over the radio, Obito Uchiha quickly raised his hands, forming hand seals and squeezing out the last bit of chakra from his body: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"

A massive fireball appeared in the air and slammed heavily into the Sand Village's supply truck. Although Obito Uchiha's chakra supply was insufficient due to his depleted chakra reserves, as a member of the Uchiha clan with a natural affinity for fire-style techniques, even with a limited amount of chakra injected into his ninjutsu, the fireball he unleashed was still a large, intensely hot, and highly powerful fireball, enough to burn the Sand Village's supply truck, along with its weapons and provisions, to ashes.

"Minato-sensei, the mission is complete! The last transport vehicle has been destroyed!" Obito Uchiha, barely able to stand with his chakra depleted, shouted into the radio.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

A golden light flashed, and Minato Namikaze appeared behind Obito Uchiha, placing his hand on Obito's shoulder.

Swish!

The next moment, Minato Namikaze had already teleported Obito Uchiha into a secret cave.

"You've worked hard, Obito. Rest here and recover your strength. Leave the rest to us!" Minato Namikaze turned around and disappeared into thin air again.

Obito Uchiha watched Minato Namikaze's agile figure with a hint of envy in his eyes, then reluctantly walked towards a small, isolated cave nearby, intending to quickly eat some soldier rations and rest.

This cave was dug not long ago by Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake. It is located in a secluded spot in a large mountain. The cave is divided into four separate smaller caves, which serve as individual rooms for each member of the team. Moreover, each cave has a fairly complete ventilation and water supply system. Compared to other foreign ninjas who were being chased by Sand Ninjas and had nowhere to rest, the Konoha quartet's accommodation conditions were quite good.

Before entering his own room, Obito Uchiha glanced at Rin Nohara's room: the door was closed, and the markings on the door indicated that the room's occupant was resting inside: "Rin... her body is about to give out too, isn't it?"

During their time conducting guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, every member of the squad faced immense pressure. The constant battles severely strained their bodies, and with almost no time to rest, coupled with the continuous consumption of chakra in life-or-death struggles, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara quickly began to falter.

That is why, now that Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara are exhausted and have little chakra left, they can only do things like releasing ninjutsu to cause destruction, and are completely unable to participate in the battles that follow.

"As expected of Minato-sensei and Kakashi!" Obito Uchiha thought enviously as he munched on a cold soldier's ration. "Minato-sensei is a genius, but Kakashi's chakra level was about the same as mine before, yet he possessed such terrifying endurance in battle thanks to that Saint Cloth!"

PS: Bonus Chapter

Chapter Thirty-Two: I'll Shoot You with Your Cannon Barrel

Whoosh! Flying Thunder God Technique!

Minato Namikaze teleported behind Kakashi Hatake and asked, "How's the situation now?" Kakashi was gazing into the distance.

"Judging from the number of people, there should be about fifty Jonin. They should arrive here in about two minutes," Kakashi Hatake said without turning his head.

In the midst of days of arduous battles, the boyish Hatake Kakashi had long since shed his childishness and transformed into a seasoned veteran. Regarding the upcoming battle, Kakashi felt no more apprehension or anxiety, only calm contemplation and a touch of excitement: "If I can achieve more victories this time, I will be one step closer to my goal of revitalizing the Hatake clan."

In the original story, at this point in time, Kakashi Hatake's sensitive father, Sakumo Hatake, had already committed suicide under immense public pressure in the village. However, this time it was slightly different because, due to Ame-san's intervention, Sakumo Hatake never became famous.

Originally, Hatake Sakumo made his name as "Konoha's White Fang" during the war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind in the Second Shinobi World War. However, because Ame no Sei single-handedly killed the Kazekage with a single shot while piloting a Gundam, ending the war, Hatake Sakumo lost the opportunity to become famous in one battle and remained an ordinary Jonin of Konoha.

Because the title "Konoha's White Fang" wasn't widely known, even though Sakumo Hatake later abandoned his mission to save his teammates, damaging Konoha's reputation, the public backlash against him wasn't significant. After all, at that time, Sakumo was just an ordinary Jonin from a village, not the internationally renowned "Konoha's White Fang," so correspondingly, few people cared about his mistake.

After all, not many people pay attention to an ordinary person's wife cheating. Only the famous Wang Baoqiang, who was cuckolded, was able to kick Wang Feng off the top of the headlines. It's the same principle.

Therefore, Sakumo Hatake did not commit suicide in the end; instead, he remained a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and apathy) Jonin in the village. His son, Kakashi Hatake, naturally felt ashamed of this and, with the desire to revitalize the Hatake clan, became a ninja and went to the battlefield.

"So this time, I must restore the reputation of the Hatake clan!" Kakashi made up his mind in his heart and looked coldly at the Sand Ninja who were running towards him at high speed in the distance.

"How is your Cloth in condition now?" Minato Namikaze asked again. Although Kakashi had already explained the condition of his Pegasus Cloth when preparing the battle plan, Minato Namikaze still asked again before the battle began because it was a matter of great importance.

"The Cloth is in excellent condition right now, and I feel my chakra is still plentiful!" Kakashi stroked his Pegasus Cloth, a surge of sincere admiration welling up in his heart for the Cloth's creator, the Third Hokage, Tensei: "This Cloth only needs to draw a certain amount of blood to continuously replenish chakra. It not only enhances the user's burst power but also greatly improves a ninja's endurance in combat. If it weren't for this Cloth, I probably would have collapsed on the ground a while ago because my chakra supply was similar to Obito's, given that I couldn't replenish my chakra!"

"Speaking of which, Minato-sensei, how's the condition of your Gold Cloth? Does it still require blood to be drawn from time to time?" Kakashi turned to Minato Namikaze and asked. The golden Gold Cloth on Minato Namikaze complemented his blond hair, which made everyone think that the nickname "Little Sun" was more fitting than "Golden Flash."
