Traveling through Naruto, I am Uchiha Obito?

He issued an indisputable ruling:

"Once this matter is over, deal with Danzo immediately! This is not only your duty as Hokage, but also my final order to you—the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!"

"And what about the other two advisors?"

The Rubik's Cube, always eager for a good show, chimed in at the opportune moment, speaking as casually as if discussing the weather.

"Rubik's Cube, you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless. Which side was this kid on?

"Xiaochun and Yan..."

Tobirama frowned, pondered for a moment, and then coldly delivered his verdict.

"If their crimes weren't so heinous, their lives could still be spared! Let them spend the rest of their lives in confinement atoning for their negligence!"

Tobirama displayed the ruthlessness and decisiveness expected of a competent politician.

"The Second Hokage is wise!"

Rubik's Cube exaggeratedly raised both hands, almost clapping on the spot. At that moment, in his mind, the Second Hokage's exclusive background music instantly switched from the tragic "Wujiapo" to the rousing "If You Were in the Winter"!

Completely sidelined and relegated to the background, Orochimaru's patience finally ran out. While the drama exposing the darkness of Konoha was indeed exciting, the "ultimate material" was now readily available.

The allure of the vortex cube, a fusion of two bloodlines, was so irresistible that he lost all interest in looking at it.

"Hehehe... It seems I've been completely underestimated."

Orochimaru smiled coldly, his hands forming hand seals once more. He channeled powerful chakra into the impure body, forcefully suppressing the remaining consciousness fluctuations of Hashirama and Tobirama, turning them back into pure killing machines.

"Don't even think about being insolent again!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, roared angrily.

"Noisy!"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and his hand seals suddenly changed! An even stronger force of control instantly flowed into the reanimated bodies of the First and Second Hokage!

"Do it!"

Orochimaru gave the order in a hoarse voice.

Chapter 43 is simple, I'll just become a Shadow Master, right?

Chapter 43 is simple, I'll just become a Shadow Master, right?

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Hashirama clasped his hands together! A massive amount of chakra surged into the ground! The entire viewing platform within the Four Purple Flame Formation churned violently, and countless thick giant trees, like awakened primordial beasts, broke through the solid stone slabs and grew wildly!

Giant vines and jagged branches intertwined to form a primeval forest that blotted out the sky, sweeping towards the Third Generation and the Rubik's Cube with terrifying binding and crushing power! The air instantly became humid and filled with a sense of oppression!

"Water Release·Water Breaking Wave!"

Tobirama formed hand seals and suddenly unleashed a condensed torrent of water, as sharp as a high-pressure water jet! The water was as thin as a thread, yet it contained the terrifying power to cut through steel! It silently weaved through the wildly growing giant trees, precisely slicing towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's throat!

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Although the Third Hokage was old, he had a wealth of combat experience! Faced with the overwhelming Wood Release and the tricky and deadly Water Severing Wave, he reacted instantly! He slammed his left hand on the ground, and a thick and solid earthen wall rose up, blocking the path of the Water Severing Wave!

At the same time, he took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and his right hand formed a seal. Three ferocious and roaring giant fire dragons spewed out of his mouth, carrying an intense heat that could burn everything, and crashed into the sweeping Tree World Descent!

boom! boom! boom!

The water slashed fiercely against the earthen walls, producing a piercing screeching sound, sending dust flying everywhere! The three fire dragons collided violently with the wildly growing giant trees, unleashing a deafening roar! Flames and wood chips flew in all directions! The entire barrier trembled violently!

"Wind Release Chakra Mode!"

The Rubik's Cube's eyes narrowed, and its crimson Sharingan spun rapidly, precisely capturing the trajectory of the giant tree's entanglement and the angle at which the water's cutting waves cleaved it!

The nature of his chakra instantly changed! A violent wind-style chakra covered his entire body like a solid armor! He transformed into a blurry blue streak of light, weaving and dodging at incredible speeds and angles through the gaps between the wildly swirling branches of the giant tree and the water ripples!

The Sharingan's dynamic vision, combined with the extreme speed brought by Wind Release, made him as swift as the wind in this forest!

"Now!" Rubik's Cube seized the moment when the giant tree was temporarily suppressed by the fire dragon and the water wave was blocked by the earth wall! He simultaneously gathered chakra in both hands.

"Fire Release: Nature Transformation - Great Flame Rasengan!"

"Wind Release: Nature Transformation - Wind Release: Rasengan!"

In his left hand, a Rasengan burning with crimson flames and radiating terrifying heat!

In his right hand, a blue Rasengan was spinning at high speed, filled with countless tiny wind blades, and emitting a piercing shriek!

Two completely different yet complementary elements are simultaneously formed in the hands of the Rubik's Cube!

The Rubik's Cube flashed, appearing as if teleported to Tobirama Senju's side! Its left hand unleashed a powerful Rasengan, slamming it towards Tobirama's side!

His right-hand Wind Release: Rasengan, with its tearing-through-all sharpness, followed closely behind, aiming straight for Tobirama's back! The terrifying energy fluctuations of the Double Rasengan caused space itself to distort slightly!

"In team fights, prioritize the support role; that's common sense!"

"Humph!"

Although Tobirama Senju was unconscious, his fighting instincts remained! He instantly abandoned the Water Severing Wave technique and retreated rapidly using an extremely unpredictable Body Flicker Technique! At the same time, his hands flew into hand seals:

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

A thick wall of water rose instantly, attempting to block the Rubik's Cube's attack!

Boom! Snap!

The Great Flame Rasengan slammed into the water barrier first! The terrifying heat of the flames instantly evaporated a large amount of water into white mist, while the violent explosion blasted a large hole in the water barrier! The Wind Release Rasengan that followed followed like a drill, piercing deep into the hole!

Pfft——!

The violent cutting force of the Wind Release: Rasengan instantly tore apart Tobirama's reanimated body's right arm! Countless fragments of reanimated material mixed with chakra flew everywhere!

On the other side, although Hashirama Senju's (Edo Tensei) Advent of a World of Trees was temporarily blocked by the Third Hokage's three fire dragons, the vitality of Wood Release was extremely tenacious! He formed hand seals again:

"Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique!"

Countless enormous vines with sharp wooden spikes suddenly burst forth from the gaps in the fire dragon's flames, coiling around the Third Generation like venomous snakes!

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

The third generation reacted extremely quickly, opening its mouth to unleash several highly compressed air cannons, precisely shattering the entangled wooden spikes and vines!

Intense clashes of ninjutsu erupted within the cramped Four Purple Flame Formation!

The explosions and collisions of the Five Elements Escape Technique filled the entire barrier. The purple barrier wall flickered continuously under the intense energy impact, emitting a buzzing wail!

With the speed brought by Wind Release Chakra Mode and the insight of the Sharingan, the Rubik's Cube dodged and counterattacked like a butterfly flitting among the gaps between Wood Release and Water Release.

The dual-nature Rasengan in his hands was incredibly powerful, forcing Edo Tobirama to go all out with each attack.

The Third Hokage, on the other hand, mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique to an unparalleled degree, combining offense and defense. He managed to hold up a space under the terrifying pressure of the Advent of the Tree World, and even managed to seize opportunities to counterattack Hashirama!

"Huh...huh..."

The fierce battle lasted only a few minutes before the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, began to breathe rapidly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was, after all, quite old, and his chakra reserves and stamina were far from their peak. Holding off Orochimaru while simultaneously dealing with the First Hokage's Wood Release suppression was incredibly taxing on him.

The Rubik's Cube keenly sensed the fatigue in the third generation, and a trace of seriousness flashed in its crimson Sharingan eyes.

'As expected of a top-tier powerhouse from the previous generation... Even though his power was weakened by Orochimaru's half-baked Impure World Reincarnation, and he could only unleash 30% of his strength, his combat awareness and ninjutsu coordination... are still impressive.'

'It's already remarkable that the Third Generation has managed to hold on until now... With his current physical condition, he's probably not even at 40% of his peak.'

Rubik's Cube glanced at Orochimaru, who was controlling the battle from afar with greedy eyes.

"Can the third generation hold on?"

With a swift movement, Rubik's Cube used Wind Release: Rasengan to shred several wooden spikes that had attacked the Third Hokage, and asked in a deep voice.

"fine."

The third generation wiped away his sweat, his eyes still sharp, gripping the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel tightly.

"Watch out! Lord Tobirama's Water Release technique is back!"

As Tobirama Senju's right arm, shattered by the Rubik's Cube, rapidly regenerated amidst the dust of the Impure World, his eyes were vacant, and his hands formed hand seals once more. This time, the chakra fluctuations were even more terrifying than before!

"Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade!"

A massive, highly compressed water blade, spinning rapidly like a drill, materialized in his hand and, with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, hurtled towards the location of the Rubik's Cube and the Third Generation.

Orochimaru watched this "performance," which he orchestrated and which was full of blasphemy and power, as if admiring a work of art. His gaze was more fixed on the Rubik's Cube's scarlet Sharingan eyes, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

"rubik's cube!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was resolute, carrying an unquestionable determination.

"I'm counting on you to hold off the next attack! The best way to deal with an Edo Tensei body is with sealing techniques! I'm about to use a technique that requires some preparation, so please... buy me some time!"

As he finished speaking, he stopped looking at the Rubik's Cube and slowly closed his eyes. A vast, extremely subtle chakra, imbued with the aura of death, began to gather and surge within his aging body. An ominous silence filled the air, as if even the purple flames of the barrier had frozen in place.

"It's time..." Hiruzen Sarutobi murmured to himself, a heavy feeling of near-relief washing over him.

"The time has come to atone for the bitter consequences of my momentary soft-heartedness."

"Wait, that technique? Could it be?! Stop him!!!"

Orochimaru sensed something was wrong and controlled the two Hokage to attack the Third Hokage.

"We must kill him before he can perform this technique!"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was preparing to face death, a figure suddenly darted in at an even faster speed!

"Wait a minute!"

The sound of the Rubik's Cube abruptly interrupted his chakra gathering process. A hand firmly rested on the Third Hokage's wrist as he was about to form hand seals. Crimson Sharingan stared directly into the Third Hokage's astonished and confused gaze, the tone unwavering and forceful:

"Third Hokage, it's not time to rush into death yet! You still have a 'mission' personally assigned to you by the Second Hokage... Are you planning to abandon Danzo and those two advisors?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi jolted, a deep anxiety flashing in his eyes:

"Cube! You...! But if we don't use the Reaper Death Seal now, how can we deal with two former Hokage who possess immortal bodies?! They are..."

The third generation's voice was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

How to deal with it?

The smile on Rubik's Cube's face was almost bursting out; he'd been wanting to pull this act for a long time.

"It's simple-"

A dormant power, like a volcano, suddenly erupted from his body!

"Eight Gates Formation, Sixth Gate, Gate of View, Open!"

Boom—!!! A burst of violent blue steam shot into the sky like tangible flames! Muscles bulged, veins bulged like dragons, and a terrifying sense of power instantly filled the barrier!

"Melting Chakra Mode!"

Instantly, fiery red lava patterns covered the Rubik's Cube's entire body, and a layer of flowing dark lava armor covered its skin. The astonishing heat caused the air to distort!

"Wind Release Chakra Mode!"

A sharp, cyan stream of air swirled around the lava armor, spinning rapidly and emitting a piercing shriek!

"Kagura's Mind's Eye - Open!"

Everything within the barrier is now under his control!

"King Kong Blockade!"

With a whoosh, several thick chakra chains, shimmering with dazzling golden light, danced wildly behind the Rubik's Cube like awakened golden dragons, carrying the purest sealing power of the Uzumaki clan. They broke through the encirclement of lava and wind release techniques! With each swing of the chains, the space hummed under the strain!

All forces merged perfectly, with nothing left to hold back!

A vast and boundless chakra, like a tangible tsunami, swept out from his center! That terrifying pressure instantly overwhelmed the aura of the First and Second Hokage, even causing the entire Four Purple Flame Formation to tremble violently! The purple barrier shook wildly, as if it would collapse at any moment!

He slowly raised his hand, enveloped in lava and air currents, pointing it at Orochimaru, who was completely stunned by the sudden change. In his crimson pupils, only confidence in his own power remained:

"—I'll just reach the pinnacle of power, won't that solve it?"

Peak Shadow-level! The real deal! At this moment, the Vortex Cube is the sole ruler of this tiny, desperate place!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely speechless, his old eyes wide open, staring in shock at the young man before him who seemed like a god descended from heaven, as if he were seeing him for the first time.
