Ninja Pot Shadow

"What a brilliant plan. I never expected that that seductive bitch Towa could leave me with such a huge trap."

Ino was a little annoyed. She had come to watch the power tournament as a spectator, but unexpectedly, she, the referee, was now going to have to fight herself.

Unfortunately, this guy is hiding in his own time loop, comes from the future, and has a blood feud with the murder of his mother. From any perspective, he is her enemy, the Supreme Kai of Time, and she can't shake him off.

"What a nuisance, I'll take care of you in a minute," Ino said calmly.

As Fu took the lead in absorbing the energy of the Cosmic Tree, his power and speed far exceeded expectations. He gripped the longsword in his backhand and punched Ino in the face.

Ino suddenly disappeared from his sight. Without thinking, he slashed at an empty space to the side with his longsword, which was covered in dark red flames.

Ino jumped through time again, but a fraction of a second slower. A strand of her hair, which had turned silver due to her mastery of Ultra Instinct, was severed by Fu's sword.

"You've got some skills, you're better than your mother." Ino's voice was still behind him when she had already reached Fu's left side and silently struck out with her palm.

The force of the impact on her palm was as if she had struck an incredibly hard star core. Her arm was slightly numb from the shock, but she still used all her strength to push Fu back more than ten steps.

She rubbed her wrists: "This is all energy absorbed from that cosmic tree, isn't it? Aren't you afraid of overdoing it and killing yourself?"

In her eyes, Fu was originally just like Goku or Vegeta, or even a little lower. But now, after absorbing a huge amount of energy, he has almost surpassed the God of Destruction and reached the level of an angel servant.

Chapter 968 Tomorrow Will Be Better (The Finale)

"You cannot defeat me now, Lord Supreme Kai of Time. My fighting power far surpasses yours." Fu's body erupted with crimson energy flames. It was clear that his control had indeed weakened, but the enormous energy within him was undeniably powerful.

Ino gave her a strange look, then scoffed, "I take back what I said before. You're not as good as your mother at all. You just look smart, but you're actually far inferior to your slutty, cheap mother."

Her words made Frey's eyes turn red with anger. Anger was one aspect, but the key issue was that too much external energy had affected his mind.

"One move to finish you off!" Ino instantly viewed over three thousand timelines and found the optimal solution.

With her authority over time, dealing with enemies is basically a matter of one move. If one move isn't enough, then a hundred moves or a whole day won't help.

"Divine Art: Descent of the Tree World!" Ino formed hand seals in an extremely rare manner this time. After fifteen seals, she chuckled. If the enemy can go, so can I. If the enemy can use the Cosmic Tree, so can I. Using Wood Release as the foundation and divine power as the guide, she quickly drew the will of the Cosmic Tree over.

Fu turned around abruptly and discovered that countless roots and vines had suddenly appeared in the void outside the Realm of Nothingness.

This turn of events was completely unexpected.

He kept swinging his sword and slashing, and Ino maintained her "seduction" of the Cosmic Tree. Fuh slashed wildly, and the roots of the Cosmic Tree grew more and more as he cut them.

"What the hell are you doing? How can you control the Cosmic Tree?" All the composure on his face vanished, and just as Ino was about to speak, he threw out the longsword that he had been holding for a long time.

Ino's body was pierced through; the energy contained within the sword was immense, and it tore her body apart in an instant.

As Fu Ning looked around, a smile just appearing on his lips, Ino walked out from the other side: "It seems you haven't integrated Kabuto-senpai's memories, and you don't even know our Konoha's most famous Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

Countless roots and vines wrapped around Fu's hands and feet. The Cosmic Tree was conscious, but like the Omni-King, this giant tree also possessed the ruthlessness of the "Way of Heaven." It was grateful to Fu for allowing it to be reborn, but it would never allow its energy to be taken away. At this moment, it densely wrapped around the thief, and the roots even pierced into his body. With a "gurgling" sound, the stolen energy was forcibly drawn back through blood and life force.

"Poor thing, rest in peace." Ino stopped her ninjutsu and let Roots pull the desiccated Fu away from the Realm of Nothingness.

Fu was quite powerful, but he was too greedy and tried to control energy that didn't belong to him at all, which is why Ino easily killed him.

On the other side, Tonton, using its weight, sat on the Cricket Bird and killed it, even squashing its droppings. Exhausted and panting, it looked up and glared at Ino with a hostile expression.

"I'll treat you to red bean soup when we get back, a big bowl of it!"

Tun Tun was particularly serious, pursing her lips.

"Two big bowls!"

The pet pig even shook its head.

"Three big bowls, that's the most I can ask for! ...Deal! I'll write you a note, remember, no begging for more! The village's finances are really tight right now..."

Ino wrote a note in the name of the Seventh Hokage, indicating that Tonton should go back to the village and ask Old Lady Koharu Utatane for red bean soup!

She dispelled the psychic spell and returned to the Realm of Nothingness.

“I’ve already taken care of the enemy’s mastermind, but this guy is immortal. What do you think, Your Majesty?” She threw the merged Zamasu out of the time trap.

Zeno was still very weak. When he saw the fused Zamasu, he was stunned for two seconds before he understood Ino's intention.

With a wave of his hand, the administrator of the multiverse could not prevent the annihilation of the immortality granted by the Super Shenron. The fused Zamasu was wiped out from the very source by the Omni-King, completely erasing him.

Ino clenched her fists, and Broly, along with the spatial labyrinth, shattered into fragments.

After ensuring the safety of the Omni-King, the Grand Priest personally took action. Before Ino could even see what happened, he had already severed the Cosmic Tree. The giant tree was unwilling to succumb and let out a roar that shook the entire multiverse at the last moment. However, under the Grand Priest's nonchalant strike, it was still reduced to countless energy fragments.

……

The tournament of strength did not determine a final winner.

The High Priest made a wish to the Super Dragon, restoring the six universes that had been erased to their original state.

The God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai gathered together, awaiting their final fate.

After nodding to the Omni-King, the High Priest glanced at Ino, who then raised her hand in a gesture of invitation.

The high priest floated in mid-air, gazing upon the many gods and the warriors who had come to participate in the Tournament of Power.

He calmly stated, "We are a unified whole. The multiverse can accommodate different voices and support different directions of development. The purpose of the Great Assembly of Power is to showcase the power of intelligent life, but in reality, the power of intelligent life comes from all aspects and cannot be confused..."

The Omni-King nodded slightly: "The High Priest is right."

Ino noticed that all the gods' eyes were on her, and she nodded in agreement: "...Me too, I mean, um, the High Priest is right."

The High Priest continued, "This Cosmic Tree incident has revealed a truth: civilizations can become more diverse. We not only need the wisdom to build civilized universes, but also the power to protect them..."

The Omni-King was delighted and couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim, "The High Priest is absolutely right!"

Seeing that the gods were all unusually silent, Ino could only clap her hands twice and say, "...Yeah, that's great."

The High Priest's lengthy discourse was almost equivalent to the King's "edict of self-reproach."

The 1st, 12th, 5th and 8th universes that the Omni-King liked before were indeed very civilized, but when Fu, Zamasu and Broly rushed over, they had almost no power to resist. The Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction were preoccupied with "farming" and "civilized universes" and forgot how to fight. Faced with powerful enemies, their fighting power was incredibly low.

If Ino hadn't single-handedly stopped Fu and the others, those gods would have met a terrible end.

Civilizations in a multiverse certainly need something, but we can't go to extremes. If everyone becomes civilized, who will fight? A balance of civil and military strength, walking on two legs, is the true path to long-term stability.

The Omni-King lowered his standard for the average index of a level 7 civilization. He officially ordered the gods that the Great Conference of Power would be held again in 10,000 years, and that universes whose average civilization index had not reached level 4 must participate.

During these ten thousand years, the warriors who were previously listed on the Investiture of the Gods could freely choose whether to go to the underworld to rest after their lifespan ended, or to become new gods.

Sun Wukong was not deified, but he gained the favor of a high priest, who seemed to be considering taking him as his son.

Jiren and Frieza were both posthumously granted the title of God of Destruction.

……

Upon returning to the Nest of Time, Ino cleared away the influence of the Cosmic Tree on numerous timelines.

Hinata brought over a cup of tea and asked, "So, the Tournament of Power ends just like that?"

Ino held his wife's hand and nodded, saying, "Yes, although the ending was a bit unexpected, the Tournament of Power has indeed come to an end. Next, the multiverse will definitely enter a new era."

Hinata sat down next to her: "So, will the future be better?"

Ino smiled and said, "The future is none of my business. Let's just enjoy the present!"
