Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The medical ninjas inside the cave discovered Obito Uchiha and immediately went on alert. Meanwhile, Biwako was delivering Kushina Uzumaki's baby.

Seeing Obito Uchiha silently enter the cave, the medical ninjas charged at him with a death wish. Obito swung his kunai and swiftly moved among the medical ninjas.

After Obito Uchiha passed several medical ninjas, he shook the blood off his kunai, and the medical ninjas all collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Kushina Uzumaki's birth was complete, Biwako lifted Naruto Uzumaki, and Minato Namikaze did his best to maintain Kushina Uzumaki's seal.

Obito Uchiha appeared, and as a result, he picked up Naruto Uzumaki at Biwako Lake.

"The fourth generation has reached a point where he must choose between his wife and his children."

Although the location of Kushina Uzumaki's expected birth was a top secret, it couldn't be kept from the village's higher-ups.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Biwako made an agreement that the medical ninja would send a message periodically.

The message sending time has passed, and there has been no response.

After all, it was the Nine-Tails. Just to be on the safe side, Hiruzen Sarutobi notified Jiraiya and the other two to go and check it out together.

Jiraiya and his two companions hurried off, while Hyuga Hoshino, wearing a mask, stood quietly ahead on the road.

Hyuga Hoshino turned his head, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan staring at the three of them.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan"

Jiraiya and Orochimaru turned their heads away, avoiding looking into Hyuga Hoshino's eyes.

Tsunade promptly summoned a slug clone, using the slug to disrupt her chakra and avoid being affected by genjutsu.

"Three interesting brats. Oh, they held on. No wonder she's Hashirama's granddaughter."

Hyuga Hoshino's Mangekyou Sharingan was a disguise, but his eye power was genuine. Tsunade instantly felt the same pressure that Senju Tobirama felt when facing Uchiha Izuna.

The Three Sannin: Such a strong sense of oppression. Who is he, and why does he call his great-grandfather (the First Hokage) by his name? The armor he is wearing seems to be from the Warring States period.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

Jiraiya spoke first, his eyes unwavering in their seriousness. Orochimaru flicked his tongue, brushing it across his dry lips.

Tsunade suddenly had a guess, and her face turned grim. First, he was from the Warring States period. Second, he knew her great-grandfather. Finally, he possessed the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.

So, could he be Madara Uchiha? But given Madara's personality, he wouldn't wear a mask. Who is he really?

"Hahahaha, a mere illusion technique, and you're already this shocked. As expected, apart from me and Hashirama, everyone else is just a grain of sand."

"Impossible, you can't be Uchiha Madara. He's dead, and Uchiha Madara wouldn't hide."

"As expected of Hashirama's granddaughter, does Konoha really have my corpse?"

Tsunade frowned, but Orochimaru showed an expression of surprise. He had studied the Impure World Reincarnation technique and naturally sought out the physical structures of powerful ninjas.

He had entered the ancestral cemetery of the Uchiha clan. Although there was a tombstone for Madara Uchiha, the cemetery was empty.

Jiraiya scratched his head in annoyance. What were they talking about? Was the masked man in front of him Uchiha Madara?

"Hashirama's granddaughter, this is a reward for you."

Hinata Hoshino removed his mask, revealing a face resembling the statue of Uchiha Madara from the Valley of the End, only much older, with wrinkles covering his face.

The three of them gasped. Could he really be Madara Uchiha?

Orochimaru's face showed an expression of great interest. Danzo was able to obtain the forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan, such as Izanagi and Izanami, so of course he could also see them.

The only price for using the technique was the loss of an eye; Uchiha Madara in front of him had both eyes intact.

Jiraiya instinctively wanted to pass on information, but when he looked at Madara Uchiha, he felt that he might not have a chance.

"Children's tricks, white-haired brat, do whatever you want."

Tsunade's expression grew increasingly grave. Could the three of them really handle a powerful opponent who could fight her great-grandfather without being defeated?

Jiraiya's information was transmitted to Hiruzen Sarutobi. After reading it, Hiruzen Sarutobi loosened his pipe and smashed it on his leg, not feeling any burning sensation for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he hurriedly slapped his thigh. The burning pain made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel as if he were dancing on the spot.

Danzo also received the news and sneered, "Another Uchiha Madara? Does he really think Uchiha Madaras are so easy to find? It was Uchiha Madara who stopped the Sannin, so who is breaking the Nine-Tails seal now? Uchiha Madara 2?"

"Ryuma, take some men and go there to warn the Uchiha clan."

"Yes."

After much deliberation, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided that he should go and support the Sannin.

Just then, Obito Uchiha appeared in Konoha and used the Summoning Jutsu.

The Nine-Tails regained its sight and roared to the sky. Obito Uchiha glared at it, and a three-tomoe pattern appeared in the Nine-Tails' eyes.

He became visibly agitated, and seeing the situation was turning against him, Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!"

"Hiruzen, who is the enemy this time?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at the Nine-Tails and said, "Our enemy this time is the Nine-Tails. We must not let it destroy the village."

"Alright, let's all come at once then."

"The Vajra Ruyi Cudgel, extend."

The fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi knocked the Nine-Tails out of Konoha with a single blow shows that he was not incapable of fighting the Nine-Tails.

He simply had another idea: perhaps it would be better for Minato Namikaze to die in this disaster. If Minato Namikaze survived, it could be an opportunity to let him regain control of Konoha.

Moreover, as Hiruzen Sarutobi grew older, he began to fear death and was afraid of sacrifice.

Jiraiya grew increasingly anxious upon seeing the Nine-Tails appear in Konoha. "Tsunade, Orochimaru!"

Just mentioning the name was enough for the two of them to understand Jiraiya's tactical plan, as usual, based on their tacit understanding.

Orochimaru's long-range ninjutsu bombardment creates conditions for Tsunade's close-range combat, while Jiraiya is responsible for mid-to-close range, supporting Tsunade or returning to defend against Orochimaru.

"The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes".

A large number of venomous snakes appeared at Hyuga Hoshino's feet. "Interesting ninjutsu, not bad brat."

"Susanoh."

The white skeleton that appeared was the first stage of Susanoo. Hyuga Hoshino had copied Indra's chakra, and with the incomplete Otsutsuki bloodline, he could slowly recover as long as he didn't exhaust the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan all at once.

"Why not use it?" With the venomous snakes kept at bay, Tsunade closed in at lightning speed. Hyuga Hoshino laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you guys want to dance too?"

Susanoo's arm slammed towards the approaching Tsunade, and Orochimaru and Jiraiya exchanged a glance.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet".

"Wind Escape·Great Breakthrough."

The fire, aided by the wind, bypassed Tsunade and rushed towards Hyuga Hoshino.

I've created a group; the link is in Chapter 54. Feel free to join if you're interested in discussing it.

Chapter 57 Hyuga Hoshino Dancing

"A weak and pathetic Fire Release technique, Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."

The larger sea of ​​fire instantly overwhelmed the sea of ​​fire created by Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

The two were taken aback; their combined ninjutsu had been easily broken.

"Water Release: Multiple Water Barrier".

"Earth Escape - Ten Thousand Mile Earth Flow Wall".

The sea of ​​fire rushed in swiftly, and Jiraiya and Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, creating a water barrier and an earth barrier intertwined.

The sea of ​​fire struck the two-person defensive line, the water barrier was evaporated, and the earthen barrier was burned.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru, seeing the approaching sea of ​​fire, formed hand seals once more.

"Earth Escape·Earthquake Core."

"Water Release: Sky Curtain".

The ground beneath their feet sank, and Orochimaru set up a water curtain at the bottom of the pit to prevent them from being injured by the aftershocks of the sea of ​​fire.

Hyuga Hoshino's Susanoo's arm moved swiftly, slamming heavily onto the ground as it unleashed its Great Fire Extinction. Judging from the feedback, it likely missed.

Tsunade successfully bypassed the sea of ​​fire and approached Hyuga Hoshino from the side, delivering a punch that instantly caused a bone fracture in his skeleton.

With a flick of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Hyuga Hoshino's skeletal structure returned to normal, and he threw another punch. Tsunade responded with a punch of her own. The disproportionately large and small fists collided, and Tsunade was actually locked in a stalemate with Susanoo's arm.

"As expected of Hashirama's granddaughter."

"I am not anyone's granddaughter, I am just Tsunade."

"Whose limit do you think this is?"

As the skeleton gave rise to flesh and blood, Susanoo, resembling a living person, was formed. Feeling the increasing force on Susanoo's fist, Tsunade reduced her strength and was pushed into the pit created by Jiraiya.

Hinata Hoshino stood still, immovable, like an Alien Empera who never moves.

He deliberately dispersed his Susanoo and slowly approached the crater step by step, his steps heavy, as if giant rocks were falling from the sky, striking the hearts of the three Sannin.

"So this is the kind of person Grandpa is facing? He can't win at all."

"What if we collapse here and the village falls?"

"Heh, is a village like this really worth our sacrifice?"

The three ninjas seemed to be arguing, but they managed to come up with a plan again during their conversation.

Orochimaru sensed that the high-concentration chakra aggregate had disappeared, meaning that Hyuga Hoshino had released Susanoo, proving that they still had a chance.

Tsunade leaped out and descended from the sky, unleashing her "Painful Heaven Kick".

"Child's play."

Grasping Tsunade's calf firmly and tossing her aside, Orochimaru spat out the Kusanagi sword and attacked almost silently from the other side.

Hyuga Hoshino reached out and, using the perception of his Mangekyou Sharingan, caught the blade and flicked it back.

Orochimaru felt a tremendous force coming from the blade, which almost made him bite off his tongue.

Jiraiya didn't rush up; he's probably preparing for Sage Mode. This is getting more and more interesting.

"Dance, Hashirama's granddaughter, let me see your limits."

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand"
