In the dense forest on the border of the Land of Fire, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the strange man in front of him with murderous intent.
His heart was already filled with unprecedented rage. He had completely lost patience and tolerance for this mysterious figure who kept deliberately imitating the Second Hokage, Tobirama.
Samadhi Fire...:
Hiruzen's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly unleashed terrifying ocular power!
The powerful and blazing flames of immortal magic that had just been summoned...
It surged forth from his body in an instant.
Endless, inextinguishable flames, like raging fire dragons, swept through the entire dense forest...
The trees and land were completely swallowed up and burned to ashes in an instant!
The sky was ablaze with crimson light from the flames.
It's extremely shocking...
The massive black club in Hiruzen's hand simultaneously emitted a powerful and chilling killing intent!
Combined with the power of the Samadhi Fire, it went straight for the mysterious man's chest.
That person remained frighteningly calm in the blink of an eye.
With a flash, he actually activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again at the critical moment!
The figure appeared behind Hiruzen swiftly, like a ghost.
He then drew his sharp longsword!
Without hesitation, he thrust straight at Hiruzen's back!
Hiruzen, however, reacted with extraordinary speed, his massive black staff spinning at an astonishing pace...:
With an overbearing stance... he stirred up a sharp gust of wind and swiftly turned to counterattack!
It directly blocked the opponent's sneak attack!
"Boom!"
The massive black club and the longsword collided violently, creating a shockwave that dispersed the surrounding flames and dust.
However, in the next instant, the mysterious man's body softened rapidly in a bizarre way.
With extreme flexibility, it absorbed most of the black staff's attack force and actually blocked Hiruzen's fatal blow!
"Ha, can you even stop it!"
Hiruzen sneered, and the power on the black giant club instantly increased several times over!
A deafening roar!
The mysterious man's half-body instantly exploded into countless fragments, and his mangled body flew out horizontally.
Strangely, the masked figure showed absolutely no sign of pain or panic.
Instead, with a chilling calmness, completely unconcerned about his already destroyed half-body, he continued to mock:
"Monkey, you look very tired... It seems these kaleidoscopes are really a huge burden for you."
Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Hiruzen calmed down a bit...:
The behavior of this mysterious person was far too bizarre.
But before he could make his next move...:
Even with his body half-broken, the mysterious man still managed to forcefully hold onto his giant black club!
At the same time, it rapidly recorded and devoured the remaining Samadhi Fire and chakra traces on it!
Something's not right.
Hiruzen immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly withdrew the black staff.
That person possesses a special sealing technique within their body, the effect of which is to deplete their own chakra...:
It's just a simple ninjutsu technique, but the effect is very noticeable...:
Such exquisite ninjutsu manipulation.
Could he really be a teacher?
However, at this moment, Hiruzen clearly felt that his body had become unusually weak.
His Mangekyou Sharingan eyes closed rapidly, his breathing became rapid, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The immense burden brought about by the double kaleidoscope is now fully revealed.
In order to reactivate Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.
He spared no expense in expending a large amount of his eye power to transfer a portion of the Fugaku Mangekyou Sharingan's power into Shisui's eyes.
Now, because of Obito...
Any Mangekyou Sharingan will have its power suppressed by three layers...
This resulted in him experiencing severe depletion of his pupil power every time he used the dual kaleidoscopes.
A sense of foreboding instantly welled up in Hiruzen's heart!
Oh no...
The flames and smoke gradually dissipated, and the darkness that had permeated the forest gradually returned to calm.
At that moment, the figure of the mysterious man slowly materialized and stood not far away once again.
He was completely unharmed, as if the fierce battle and attack had had no effect on him whatsoever.
However, at this moment, his figure appeared slightly ethereal, with a faint sense of transparency...
seem.:
The true form had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to withdraw from the battlefield.
The illusory figure silently watched Hiruzen: "Monkey, is all this fuss you've been working so hard for just this level of Sage Mode...?"
What a pity for Shinnosuke.
The tone was extremely contemptuous.
Faced with such mockery and provocation, Hiruzen did not show any anger or loss of control.
With a sudden swing of the giant black staff, a burst of violent Sage Chakra erupted, instantly shattering the illusory figure in front of him into countless fragments!
"Hehehe..."
As the phantom shattered, Hiruzen slowly spoke...:
"Since you want to play, then let's continue playing."
His voice echoed through the woods, carrying an awe-inspiring firmness and domineering presence.
"Whether you are the true teacher or Orochimaru... the one standing before you now is the Hokage of Konoha in this era!"
After saying this, Hiruzen slowly turned around.
His figure appeared even larger amidst the blazing Samadhi Fire.
"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi... the strongest Hokage of this era..."
Beside the stream.
Naruto was already fast asleep in a tent not far away.
Meanwhile, in the open space outside the tent, Kakashi was still busy in the darkness.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were focused and serious.
With his hands quickly forming hand seals, and as Earth Release chakra slowly surged, four huge and solid mud and stone pillars rapidly condensed on the ground.
He slowly released his immense Sage Chakra, channeling the power of Inorganic Reincarnation into the four stone pillars.
Suddenly, a strange and eerie resonance began to occur between the four enormous stone pillars...
The stone pillars seemed to come alive, vibrating against each other, with magical power flowing between them!
The energy field grew stronger and stronger, gradually presenting an unprecedented and strange phenomenon.
Just as Kakashi was fully focused on the experiment, Hiruzen's voice suddenly sounded slowly behind him:
"Kakashi, what are these stone pillars... for?"
Kakashi paused slightly upon hearing this, then turned around and was surprised to find that the Third Hokage had quietly appeared behind him at some point.
Dust and burn marks from the recent battle were still faintly visible on Hiruzen's robes, clearly indicating that he had just experienced a fierce fight.
Kakashi didn't seem to care; he simply nodded slightly.
"I'm trying to use Sage Mode to create a device that can maximize the conduction of chakra, and these stone pillars are my test subjects."
As Kakashi spoke, his gaze returned to the four enormous stone pillars before him, and he continued to explain.
"I am currently unable to create a truly stable black chakra rod that can hold chakra, but these earthen stone pillars can serve as a temporary substitute."
The black chakra rods behind Nagato are made of the best material.
But even Kakashi couldn't obtain it...
"Through inorganic rebirth and the resonance between them, I hope to maximize the efficiency of the transmission of celestial power..."
Hearing Kakashi's earnest and honest explanation, Hiruzen nodded thoughtfully.
His gaze shifted to Naruto, who was still asleep not far away.
Kakashi's all-night efforts were clearly aimed at finding a way to save the ninja world as soon as possible.
After a long silence, Hiruzen finally spoke slowly, his voice low and calm:
"Kakashi, your idea is good. However, relying solely on earthen pillars for conduction is not the most ideal solution."
He paused slightly, then began to speak, drawing upon his existing knowledge.
"To achieve truly efficient and stable chakra and sage art transmission, in addition to those black rods, we still need to use those special chakra metals."
"Only this substance can truly achieve the effect you want."
Kakashi paused for a moment upon hearing this, then gave a helpless smile: "I understand that... but chakra metal is incredibly valuable, and given Konoha's current situation..."
"You don't need to worry about that. From now on, all of Konoha Village's chakra reserves will be completely at your disposal."
Upon hearing Hiruzen's decisive decision, Kakashi was slightly taken aback: "Third Hokage, these supplies...?"
Hiruzen smiled slightly, revealing a rare hint of relief and trust.
"Kakashi, the ninja world is facing an imminent crisis. All of Konoha's resources exist to resolve this immediate crisis." He looked at Kakashi earnestly, his eyes sincere.
"You just need to focus on what you're good at. Whatever resources and support you need, I will provide them to you without reservation."
"Thank you, Hokage."
Hiruzen looked at Kakashi and said with a touch of emotion:
"The future of Konoha ultimately depends on you young people. This old man can only do these things now."
"Whether it's Tsunade or you... you are the true future and hope of Konoha."
Then, Hiruzen gently patted Kakashi on the shoulder, turned around, and slowly walked into the night.
Kakashi watched the Third Hokage's departing figure, standing there for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.
After my plan has temporarily gained support.
Kakashi's exhaustion of the past few days finally overwhelmed him.
I started to feel drowsy.
It took a whole ton of effort...
Kakashi drifted off to sleep.
Consciousness arrived in a much more distant era...
In the 51st year of Konoha, that night, the entire sky was dyed blood red.
A gigantic and ferocious nine-tailed fox rampaged through Konoha Village, radiating violent chakra and blazing flames.
The once peaceful and tranquil Konoha was shrouded in an apocalyptic terror.
The village was ablaze, thick smoke billowing out, and screams and cries mingled into a chaotic yet tragic symphony.
The entire village of Konoha was plunged into endless despair that night.
At this moment, Kakashi suddenly found himself on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory.
Looking around blankly, he found the Uchiha clan's territory unexpectedly quiet and silent.
The Uchiha clan did not mobilize; all the clan members silently gathered in the open space in the center of the clan's territory, awaiting instructions for support from the Konoha leadership.
Kakashi walked through the crowd and quietly entered the center of the clan's territory, where he was surprised to see the Uchiha stone pillar standing behind Uchiha Fugaku.
As a highly respected and senior member of the clan, Uchiha Ishihashi's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.
He remained silent, gazing into the distance with a somber expression, as if pondering something unspeakable.
"Elder Stone Pillar, where is Zhishui?"
Fugaku suddenly spoke up and asked.
Shizhu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "Clan leader, it seems that Zhishui went to Yuan's place."
Did they go to Yuan's place?
Many people were surprised...
Young Master Yuan... it seems like he hasn't even activated his Sharingan yet, right?
Upon hearing this answer, Fugaku's face immediately showed a hint of doubt and surprise.
Uchiha Abyss?
In Fugaku's memory, although Fuchi was very talented, he unfortunately lacked combat talent.
Why...?
Did Shisui go to find him on purpose?
Confused and puzzled...
Kakashi's consciousness had unknowingly entered Uchiha Abe's residence.
He was not unfamiliar with this place; in fact, he was extremely familiar with it.
The last time I experienced the endless cycle of illusions in Ryuchi Cave, it was in this very place.
The same room, the same fragrance of flowers, once again strongly assaulted Kakashi's senses.
The entire room was filled with a rich and sweet floral fragrance...
The fragrance seemed to possess some kind of eerie power, constantly permeating everyone's mind and spirit.
Inside the room, Shisui and Yuan sat facing each other.
At this moment, Shisui stared at Uchiha Gen sitting opposite him.
The handsome Uchiha Gen seemed to be admiring his own good looks...
He seemed completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere around him, his expression calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face.
In his deep pupils, a vivid and eerie square Sharingan suddenly bloomed.
Shisui also activated his kaleidoscope without hesitation.
A bizarre and deadly battle of eye techniques is silently unfolding between the two.
The room was deathly silent, as if even the air had frozen, with only the power of the two Mangekyou Sharingan shining through!
They clashed and collided with each other in the air, violently impacting consciousness and soul.
Kakashi stood outside, sensing two completely different yet incredibly powerful ocular auras!
My heart was gradually filled with a nameless fear and shock.
After a long silence, Uchiha Gen spoke first: "Tonight, Konoha must be in deep mourning..."
Shisui was silent for a moment: "Are you grieving over the deaths of so many villagers?"
"yes."
Upon hearing Uchiha Gen's reply, Shisui couldn't help but retort angrily, "What a joke! You're not sad at all!"
"Is it too short?"
Uchiha Gen smiled.
He was laughing very happily, but beneath his handsome face lay an unintentional eeriness.
"Shisui, how long will it take me to express my grief... three months... three years... or thirty years?"
"People die every day in the ninja world. Am I supposed to constantly grieve and remember them? Wouldn't that fill the world with constant weeping? Wouldn't that be incredibly noisy?"
As the two Kaleidoscope Sharingan stared at each other, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy. At this moment, Uchiha Gen continued, "So what we need is sincere mourning. As long as it's sincere, one second is enough."
Faced with Uchiha Gen's delirious words...
Shisui's expression turned grave: "You're too dangerous... Yuan."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen winked mischievously: "I hope that one day, after the Uchiha clan is wiped out, the villagers of Konoha will mourn and grieve for us."
