I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 130 The Four Red Sun Formation: Hinata and Sakura's Performance, and the Conclusion of the Incident.

"Such a scene...the world of the living."

As soon as Hashirama Senju stepped out of the coffin, he complained helplessly, "Is it Tobirama's technique again? Honestly, I told him not to develop ninjutsu recklessly, or he'll cause trouble for future generations."

"Don't always complain about your younger brother. The First Hokage's cells were also amazing. It was not easy for me to get a vial of Hashirama cells."

Bai Mao started to tease, then gave Uchiha Obito a deep look and laughed, "I was originally planning to reunite you old friends, but business is more important."

This guy...

Seeing the mocking look in Hyakko's eyes, Obito Uchiha cursed inwardly, knowing full well that Hyakko had once again doubted his identity.

Maybe this guy already knew he wasn't Uchiha Madara, and was just putting on an act.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

At this moment, Hashirama Senju had been stripped of his consciousness and turned into a tool. He clapped his hands and unleashed his signature Wood Release technique.

This Hashirama Senju was not created using the Impure World Reincarnation technique with White Zetsu clones; he was merely a product infused with White Zetsu cells, essentially a semi-finished product.

After all, Hashirama Senju, resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique with a White Zetsu clone, was too powerful. Even if he didn't know how to undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique, unless Yagyu's original body intervened, the Hundred Faces couldn't control him.

Just like Orochimaru could control Tobirama Senju, but couldn't control Hashirama Senju.

The imperfect Hashirama Senju could be easily controlled by the Hundred Faces, and his strength far surpassed that of Orochimaru during his battles with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Rumble...

The earth trembled violently, and huge tree branches burst forth from the ground like snakes unleashed from their cages, quickly growing into towering trees that jostled together to form a green sea of ​​trees that surged toward Class 7 and Class 8.

Such a scene is visually striking.

Faced with that enormous expanse of green waves moving at incredible speed, there was no way to escape unless one could fly.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

At that moment, Yagyu clapped his hands, creating an equally impressive green wave that collided with the sea of ​​trees under Hashirama Senju.

In an instant, the vast grassland transformed into a forest, and it remained there permanently.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

Before the earth stopped shaking, Yagyu formed hand seals again, channeling his chakra into the sea of ​​trees to remotely create four wood clones.

"Ninja Technique: Four Red Sun Formation!"

The four wooden clones shouted in unison, and four red, transparent barriers immediately rose in the east, west, south, and north directions, forming a huge cage.

"This is... the Four Crimson Sun Formation, which only four of the Five Kage can activate!"

The well-informed Chiyo exclaimed in surprise.

"Has it grown to this level already?"

Kakashi Hatake, who had already lifted his headband, looked at Yagyu, whose true form hadn't made a move. While feeling shocked, he also felt a strong sense of security, just like Sakura.

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake seemed to travel through time to the early days of Konoha and experience the feelings of his predecessors.

The four wood clones all possess Hokage-level chakra and have such wide-range techniques; no wonder the entire ninja world is no match for the First Hokage.

"You guys go around the barrier and keep going. I'll deal with these guys."

Yagyu turned around and said something to Class 7 and Class 8, then appeared inside the barrier without warning.

"It's up to you, Yagyu."

Naruto shouted loudly, his eyes having turned into red vertical pupils at some point.

Knowing that Yagyu possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, Team 8 was not worried about Yagyu's safety and obediently nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Class 7, Class 8, and Chiyo used their teleportation abilities to bypass the Four Red Sun Formation along the red flame barrier and continue their journey towards the mountains of the Land of Rivers.

"The Four Red Yang Formation, and it was even cast by a wood clone..."

Inside the cave, the White Zetsu, who was temporarily acting as the guide, no longer spoke in a rude tone. Instead, he said incredulously, "This Wood Release ninja... could he have already reached the level of a ninja god?"

Black Zetsu remained silent, but he was equally shocked.

At only sixteen years old, he possesses such chakra; this reincarnation of Ashura is even more terrifying than Hashirama Senju.

With his current strength, Uchiha Sasuke probably couldn't even defeat one of his wood clones.

For the first time in a thousand years, Black Zetsu had seen the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra, and the difference between them was so great!

"You are trapped. Do you need me to cast the Transformation Technique again?"

Pain, who also knew the situation through his Rinnegan, looked at the three of them and asked.

To be precise, his gaze was fixed on Uchiha Obito.

"Leave the leader to me!"

Obito Uchiha shouted, "I'll use my ultimate trump card to help Senpai Hundred Faces and Senpai Itachi escape the barrier!"

"You can leave now."

With a fighting spirit in his eyes, Hyakko said, "I want to stay and fight that Wood Release ninja."

"yes!"

Within the barrier, Obito Uchiha immediately used Kamui to take Itachi Uchiha away.

Meanwhile, Hyakume and Yagyu began their performance.

There's nothing we can do about it!

If Yagyu didn't know the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could have completely missed this incident.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade asked him to abandon his S-rank mission and instead use the Flying Thunder God Technique to support Team 7.

Now that he's involved, Yagyu needs to get Hyakko to play his trump card so that he can reasonably play a minor role.

Thus, Yagyu and Hashirama Senju engaged in an astonishing duel within the barrier.

The violent earthquake was so intense that even the seventh and eighth teams, who had already left the forest and were about to reach the edge of the grasslands, namely the mountain range of the River Country, could still vaguely feel it.

"Yo... Konoha ninja, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

When Class 7 and Class 8 reached the edge of the grassland, that comical voice reached their ears again.

Looking at Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi, who seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time, the expressions of Team 7 and Team 8 changed drastically.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto shouted.

"Of course, it's based on my trump card!"

Obito Uchiha raised his head high, his tone filled with pride, and said, "How could a mere barrier possibly trap me, a former intern who has been promoted to a full member?"

"Damn it, Rasengan!"

Naruto, who was gradually losing his mind, was faintly emitting red chakra as he rushed towards Obito Uchiha.

"Naruto, calm down."

Upon seeing Naruto's emotionally unstable state, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but recall his conversation with Jiraiya when he returned, and quickly followed after him.

Kurenai Yuhi exchanged a glance with Class 8 and nodded silently.

A duel unfolds at the entrance to the mountains of the land of rivers.

Just like in the original story where the new generation was prevented from finding Itachi and Sasuke, Obito used Kamui to toy with the out-of-control Naruto and his assistants Kakashi and Sakura.

However, Obito Uchiha soon switched opponents with Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha will deal with Team 7, while Obito Uchiha will delay Team 8.

"This guy's scent disappears from time to time, and he ignores all attacks. This technique isn't a teleportation technique, but a space-time ninjutsu."

Shino Aburame, who controlled countless insects and repeatedly passed through Obito Uchiha's body, immediately analyzed his ability.

"Yakumo..."

Kurenai Yuhi glanced at Yakumo Kurama beside her.

Kurama Yakumo shook his head and said, "No, my Yin Release chakra couldn't penetrate his body in time to pull him into the genjutsu space."

"This person's chakra is not strong."

Hinata, having activated her Byakugan, suddenly said, "Itachi Uchiha's chakra is only slightly stronger than Kurenai's. They... are not the real thing!"

"Is it a special kind of clone technique?"

Kurenai Yuhi said with a grave expression, "It seems their goal is simply to stall us here."

"Avoid this guy and focus your attacks on Uchiha Itachi first."

"yes!"

Kurenai Yuhi immediately gave the order for Squad 8 to change their strategy.

However, even though it was just two clones, Class 7 and Class 8 were still held up for more than two hours.

After successfully implanting the crow that was transplanted from Kotoamatsukami into Naruto's body, Itachi Uchiha, who had been holding back, was defeated by Naruto's Giant Rasengan.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha defeated, Obito Uchiha, after calculating the time, panicked and had his pressure points sealed by Hinata, before being blasted apart by Sakura's punch.

"Boss, both Itachi-senpai and I have lost."

Inside the cave, Obito Uchiha said dejectedly.

"There are still more than two hours left to cover this distance, which is more than enough."

Pain looked at Hyakko and asked, "Hyakko, how are things on your end?"

"Not bad, not much chakra consumed."

Bai Mao chuckled and said, "The Konoha Wood Release ninja seems to want to seal Hashirama Senju, and did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave. If that's all, I can hold him off for a few more hours."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Pain then said to Sasori and Deidara, "Once the seal is broken, I will send Tobi to support you. You must retreat quickly."

"OK."

Sasori of the Red Sand responded, but what he was really thinking was anyone's guess.

Two more hours passed.

After sealing for three days and three nights, the Akatsuki finally succeeded in separating the One-Tailed Shukaku and sealing it inside the Gedo Mazo.

boom--

Almost the instant the seal was completed, the mountain trembled violently.

"The barrier has been broken. You'd better hurry."

Pain left behind these words, then formed hand seals that turned the Gedo Mazo into a huge cloud of white smoke, engulfing the entire cave.

After the white smoke dissipated, white light shone into the cave, where several figures stood at the entrance, confronting Sasori and Deidara, who were standing next to Gaara's corpse.

A great war is about to break out!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hyakko and Yagyu were also locked in a fierce battle under the watchful eye of the White Zetsu clone.

The Hundred Faces, which possessed Hashirama Senju's body, along with Yagyu's original form, used various Wood Release ninjutsu to continuously expand the forest's area, gradually occupying most of the grassland.

"Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Just as Pain released the Gedo Mazo, Hundred Faces deliberately revealed an opening, allowing Yagyu to successfully trap Hashirama Senju's body with Wood Release.

"Impure World Reincarnation - Release!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Hundred-Faced Elephant Reincarnation Technique of Hashirama Senju was immediately dispelled, turning into a sky full of white dust.

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

After leaving behind this message, Hyakko also dispelled his clone technique, transforming into an unfamiliar ninja.

Meanwhile, the White Zetsu clone who was monitoring this scene hurriedly fled the area.

They were all terrified of Yagyu, who could discover the art of the mayfly.

Acting is really tiring!

Sensing the departure of the White Zetsu clone, Yagyu couldn't help but mentally complain.

Fortunately, the only people he is connected with are Gaara, his future brother-in-law, and Naruto, his classmate of six years. The tailed beasts inside both of them are the most special existences.

Gaara is the irreplaceable key.

As for the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, there are several ways to replace it.

With Yagyu's cooperation, the Akatsuki organization has obtained the key to activate the Gedo Mazo.

The tailed beasts that follow are much simpler.

Yagyu just needs to patiently wait for the Fourth Shinobi World War to arrive!

Then, Liu Sheng's figure disappeared without warning.

When it reappeared, it was not next to Sakura and Hinata.

Instead, he appeared on a cliff, then used Red Eyes Illusion to hide himself, observing the cave with far-sightedness and X-ray vision.

At this moment, only four people remained in the cave: Hinata, Sakura, Chiyo, and Sasori of the Red Sand, making it three against one.

Kurenai Yuhi, Shino Aburame, and Yakumo Kurama went to support Kakashi Hatake and Naruto, helping them retrieve Gaara's body.

This time, Yagyu didn't make a move. Instead, he sat on the cliff and watched Hinata and Sakura fight.

At this moment, Hinata and Sakura had already begun their battle against Sasori of the Red Sand.

Unlike the original story, the two women displayed overwhelming dominance.

The two women, having activated the Yin Seal, experienced a dramatic surge in chakra.

Sakura charges in at close range, Hinata assists from the side, and Chiyo provides support from behind.

Even though Sasori of the Red Sand can control a large number of puppets and is very skilled at using poison, he cannot gain any advantage at all.

Those puppets were all taken down by Sakura and Hinata with a single punch or a long-range Bagua Palm attack.

When Sasori released a large number of poison needles, Hinata used her Reverse Technique to deflect them all.

Chiyo, who was originally the main character, was completely unable to help at this time.

Ultimately, with Hinata and Sakura working together, Sasori, whose attributes were severely countered, was shattered by a single punch from the two girls, his heart exploding on the spot.

He didn't even leave a last word.

Devastating and pleasing to the eye.

The two women's performance greatly pleased Yagyu.

One is a master of steel fists, the other is a master of taijutsu who combines strength and gentleness. Hinata and Sakura are now practically teenage versions of Tsunade, and there's also Tsunade who knows Gentle Fist and bloodline limits.

As long as they don't encounter a strong opponent who can counter their physical skills, the two women working together would definitely be at the Kage level.

With such strength when the two of them team up, Yagyu was very curious about what it would be like if Karin, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino teamed up.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the outcome has already been decided.

Unlike the original story where he faked his death and self-destructed, Deidara hadn't even used Gaara's body to lure Team 7 away for long before the world before him underwent a dramatic change.

The clear world became severely choppy; the rivers and clouds in the sky were no longer flowing.

Realizing he was under a genjutsu, Deidara tried to disrupt the flow of chakra within his body, but he couldn't break free. Even with his left eye, which was specifically used to break Sharingan genjutsu, he still couldn't escape.

At that moment, Deidara panicked.

What's even more alarming is that one of his hands was destroyed by Gaara.

While he was still in a daze, his other hand was also broken by Kakashi Hatake's Kamui.

Having lost both arms, Deidara's strength was severely diminished, and he was quickly shot down from the sky by the natural disaster created by Kurama Yakumo.

Without his hands, Deidara could no longer use his clay clones. Trapped in the illusion space, he was also unable to escape using Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique as in the original story.

Even more fatally, he couldn't even manage a real self-destruction.

Almost the instant he landed, the earth turned into a swamp, imprisoning Deidara's body.

Immediately, countless insects swarmed in, invading Deidara's body and rapidly devouring his chakra.

Under the combined attack of Yakumo Kurama, Kakashi Hatake, and Shino Aburame, Deidara was even weaker than Sasori of the Red Sand, and was almost instantly defeated.

However, Yakumo Kurama ultimately lacked experience.

Seeing Deidara being captured, she instinctively dispelled the illusion.

After everyone returned to the real world, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, and Obito Uchiha's figure flew out from it.

"Deidara-senpai, I've come to save you!"

"hooligan!!!"

Obito Uchiha dragged Deidara's body and fled quickly.

Looking at Uchiha Obito's comical escape posture, Deidara, who was originally filled with resentment and despair, seemed to see the most handsome man in the world.

If Deidara weren't missing his arms, he would have loved to hug Obito Uchiha and give him a big kiss.

Deidara is fearless!

But he didn't want to die such a miserable death!

Next time they meet, he'll definitely show the Konoha ninja his explosive art!

In the end, the two twisted and disappeared, leaving behind the resentful Class 7, the self-blaming Yakumo Kurama, and the comforting Class 8.
