Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Madara Uchiha's voice faded from Obito's heart.

The reason Madara was able to trigger this illusion so precisely was because, at Ah-Huo's urging, he made some minor modifications to the talisman that had previously prevented Obito from revealing his identity…

This makes Ban's strategy appear very far-sighted.

There's a sense of masterful planning, as if one has seen through everything in just over a year…

"So it was the Naraku-seeing technique?"

"Damn it, I knew the clan head was lying to me! How could there be a technique that erases my memories, the Hokage's memories, Kakashi's memories, and Rin's memories just by mentioning his name..."

Obito's eyes were still brimming with blood and tears, but he acted like a child who had just found a beloved possession, wiping away his tears haphazardly. "I'm so pathetic."

"After cultivating for over a year, I can still fall for illusions of this level! If Uncle Wu and Uncle Huan Yue knew, they'd laugh at me for ages!"

"The clan leader is really good to me, even though his face is always cold and he never smiles..."

The so-called Naraku-sight technique is an illusion that allows the victim to see the thing they fear most.

However, due to its unrefined structure, it is easily detected by the enemy and is a very basic "D" rank technique.

While the primary criterion for ninjutsu rating is the difficulty of learning, the difficulty of mastering most techniques is directly proportional to their power upon completion. Techniques with a poor return on investment will be optimized.

However, Obito was still too easily fooled.

Could the Naraku-sight technique used by that Rinnegan be the same as the one he knew?

But the naive Obito still felt that he was not skilled enough.

The scene he witnessed in the illusion was a warning and a test from Madara Uchiha.

It's also a graduation gift...

Not only does it have limbs made from Abi cells, but it also possesses a pair of brand-new Mangekyou Sharingan eyes…

"Oh right!" Obito pondered for a long time before suddenly pausing in surprise.

He's a Mangekyou Uchiha now!

Moreover, based on what he has learned, he seems to be different from other Uchiha because he has Tobi, the son of the Divine Tree, as half of his body... The Mangekyou Sharingan does not pose a risk of blindness, and even if it is overused, it can be relieved by taking a break.

"My eye technique is called..."

"Kamui?"

As Obito read the information brought about by the awakening of his bloodline, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter:

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

That's outrageous! There's actually such a kaleidoscope eye technique?

After learning about Kamui's abilities, even Obito himself couldn't help but laugh...

Because this is just too easy to use!

The left eye blurs to dodge damage, while the right eye distorts space to deal high damage.

Compared to Izuna's "Dark Road Trial," which requires considerable skill, Kamui's is practically wheelchair-like...

Without Tobi's body, Obito would have had to figure out the timing of releasing Intangibility, carefully considering the opportune moment, and calculating when to actively Intangibleize to conserve his eye power...

But Obito, with the battle system framework created by Madara Uchiha, didn't even need to worry about that.

Or rather, even Madara and the other Kage didn't expect that Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan would be the incredible power of Kamui, a formidable contender for the strongest eye technique in the thousand-year history of the Uchiha clan.

"hey-hey…"

"They even gave me an apartment as a gift! A large, single-level apartment..."

Obito sensed the presence of the Kamui dimension and grinned foolishly.

"If I get together with Lin in the future, it seems like we can buy a smaller house, and the pressure won't be so great..."

"Maybe I could buy one within the second ring road! Right next to the Hokage's house..."

"Things like wardrobes and miscellaneous items can be thrown into the Kamui Space. It's so convenient!"

Because Konoha has become the center of the Land of Fire, the Land of Water, and the Land of Rain, and with its constantly evolving technology, it has effectively become the core of the entire ninja world.

Whether in terms of economy, culture or influence.

Therefore, price is naturally a key factor if you want to own a great house in the inner ring of Konoha.

Whether or not someone is willing to sell is also a factor to consider.

Often, it's not about money anymore...

Obito walked to a tree trunk, his arm entered a ethereal state, and he placed it into the trunk, savoring the strange sensation. He was also assessing his own eye power.

"Maintaining a blurred state for three to five minutes is no problem, and burst damage can extend it to six or seven minutes..."

Obito made a judgment, exhaled a long breath, and grinned broadly:

"This time, Kakashi might not be able to beat me!"

"Even Zhishui won't work, not even Brother Qingshui..."

The mere thought of Tobirama stopped Obito from indulging in his fantasies, and he shuddered for no apparent reason.

Based on his stats, Obito felt that he was actually stronger than his older brother, Aokiji.

The problem is that real-world combat is not simply a matter of panels colliding.

In battle, all kinds of unexpected factors and on-the-spot considerations are of paramount importance.

Within the Uchiha clan, after the Third Shinobi World War, even members of the clan were unwilling to spar with their pride, "Blue Water," anymore.

Since everyone knows he is a direct descendant of the Second Hokage, he inherited a series of Tobirama techniques at such a young age, and he is extremely skilled in using the combination of Edo Tensei and Mutual Explosion Tags.

There are also a series of underhanded tricks, such as soul-binding techniques...

Within the Uchiha clan, even among members of the same generation, the competition is characterized by going all out.

At the very least, neither side should hold back, but Tobirama's techniques are clearly not suitable for sparring...

"wrong!"

"I think I forgot something important!" Obito realized belatedly.

Only then did he remember that Madara had instructed him not to reveal his identity after returning to Konoha.

On my left is the Hokage, on my right is the clan head…

Isn't this just turning myself into a sandwich filling?

"The Second Hokage is truly wronged. The clan head is ruthless when it comes to revenge. Now everyone thinks the Second Hokage is the one who did all the bad things..." Obito muttered to himself. "Although the Second Hokage isn't entirely innocent! He targeted Aokiji's parents, but after all, I heard he was also the Hokage's teacher..."

The most crucial point is...

How can we tell the Hokage the truth without harming his bond with Madara?

Let the Hokage know that the clan head's thinking is now problematic, and that the mastermind behind it all is not his teacher, but the ninja world's demon whom everyone thought was dead.

"But the clan leader told me..."

"If you care about your feelings for him, you won't let me say it out loud."

"According to Mr. Ah Huo, the clan chief just now essentially recognized me as his adopted grandson, right?"

Obito felt a sharp pain in his head.

It seems impossible to reconcile loyalty to one's country with filial piety...

"What should I do?"

Although he had been in seclusion in the mountain cemetery for over a year, his progress in all aspects had been rapid.

However, Obito didn't fully address the weakness in "wisdom"...

Or rather, not many of the eccentric figures of the Warring States period had sound logic.

That is, the Second Raikage and Mura, but neither of them were responsible for Obito's entire training. In terms of strategy, Madara directly supervised Obito, but it is clear that the education provided by the Asura of the Ninja World was not very good.

Just as Obito was deep in thought, Ah-Huo slowly emerged from the ground and coughed lightly.

Obito turned around in surprise and immediately hugged Ah-Huo's neck: "Mr. Ah-Huo! You're finally here! What should I do?" Ah-Huo waved his hand dismissively.

"I know everything! You really are something, didn't I tell you Lord Madara would test you?"

"You've made such a mess of things, I don't even know what to say to you!"

Ah-Huo really did give Obito a heads-up.

Even so, it might prevent Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan from activating smoothly, resulting in the loss of an important combatant.

However, based on the Hokage's speech during the eleventh inspection of the Research Department, Ah-Huo, after repeatedly studying it, deeply understood a principle.

That is, an uncontrolled, disordered force that will only have a counterproductive effect…

If you can't hold on to something, it's better not to have it at all!

This was also the fundamental idea behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's instructions to Orochimaru, Hiruko, and others when they were researching "Hashirama cells," "bloodline limit transplants," and "cursed seals."

What's the point of creating so many weirdos?

Despite its strength, standing against Konoha due to various side effects would only result in more losses than gains.

Konoha needs warriors with the will of fire, not unstable elements lost in power.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ah Huo..."

Obito lowered his head in embarrassment, like a student being scolded by a teacher.

"You might think that your reckless awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan was a blessing in disguise, and you're still a little resentful, aren't you?" Ah-Huo said seriously, arms crossed.

"Let me tell you, your talent and bloodline have brought you good fortune, but your inability to calmly assess situations has been blatantly exposed!"

"You must strictly control this in the future. If you let your emotions get the better of you and act recklessly, and you are used by the enemy to do something wrong, it will be too late to make amends!"

Ah-Huo kept giving Obito a heads-up.

You're lucky once, but will you be so lucky a second time?

People's memories are often most vivid when they are experiencing intense emotions.

Ah-Huo's actions were inspired by the Hokage's instruction to Danzo to reflect on his actions during the "fireside chat"...

These are all based on strict reference points!

If Obito is the leaf of the future village, then Akane is his "root"...

"I understand, I understand, Mr. Ah Huo..."

Obito nodded like a chick pecking at rice, tightly gripping Ah-Huo's pale arm:

"Mr. Ah Huo, what should I do now?"

"The clan head said I shouldn't talk about him when I get back to the village, but I've been missing from Konoha for over a year, and the Hokage has visited my grandmother several times..."

"The kids at the ninja academy used me as material for so many model essays!"

"I'm going back with a body full of Abyssal cells and a kaleidoscope of abilities; I can't just stay silent! Besides, the village rules will put me under scrutiny, and I can't just stubbornly defy the village, can I?"

Obito was so anxious that he started sweating.

For him, his own life was important, but betraying the people who were important to him was a far more terrible thing.

"About this matter of yours..."

Ah-Huo chuckled, watching Obito's increasingly impatient expression as he hesitated. He smirked and drawled, "..."

"There are ways to solve this!"

"Mr. Ah-Huo, please teach me!" Obito was overjoyed.

"This is very simple..."

"First of all, if you want to avoid being deceived by others in the future, then you must remember that no matter what happens, as long as the Hokage is still alive, you must always believe in him."

"Keep this in mind, and you won't go wrong on the big picture, do you understand?"

Ah Huo said earnestly.

"Yes, that's what I think too, but I'll pay even closer attention to it!"

Obito nodded solemnly.

"So, let's follow this line of thought..."

"Once you return to Konoha, find a way to avoid contact with anyone else. Go directly to the Hokage and report your experiences over the past year. This includes information about your training, the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the Mountain Graveyard..."

"Just don't mention Lord Madara's matter."

Obito blinked. "But will this work?"

"It can be done."

"Because Lord Madara just didn't ask you to mention his identity. As long as it's not explicitly stated, it means Lord Madara tacitly approves of what you can do." Ah-Huo shrugged: "With Lord Madara's wisdom, he wouldn't make such a mistake."

"And you should know that the Hokage doesn't consider Madara to be his teacher, Tobirama Senju, and he's the only one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who has consistently held this view..."

"Don't overthink it. Maybe when you're halfway through your confession, the Hokage will realize what's going on and won't let you say Madara's name."

"Some things are weightless until weighed, but once spoken, they can be incredibly heavy!"

Ah Huo said with great emotion:

"Tobirama Senju is a dead man, so he can carry endless debts, but Lord Madara will return to Konoha sooner or later. You should think about that slowly..."

Obito listened, completely stunned.

"It's normal that you can't understand it yet."

"To put it simply, everything Madara-sama did—such as his actions against Uchiha Hachiho, the resurrection of the Kage, making Uchiha Aokiji understand that the Flying Thunder God Technique is not omnipotent, and even his schemes against you…"

"And the series of actions that followed were all to ensure that Konoha could grow strong and healthy, so that it wouldn't become a hothouse flower without external pressure..."

"You understand these things, right?"

Ah-Huo looked at Obito.

Obito nodded slowly.

If Madara's plan was as before, to have Kakashi and Rin kill each other in the most brutal way, allowing their twisted emotions to surface in reality...

Obito wouldn't understand a thing!

However, over the past year or so, thanks to Ah-Huo's mediation and assistance, Obito has experienced what it's like to have a "grandfather who loves him but is exceptionally strict"...

In the final step, after hearing Ah-Huo's plan for Obito, he even used a feigned retreat to persuade him to return to the village...

Then the logic all makes sense.

This is something no bad person would do; it stems from a deep love for the village…

However, this love is somewhat extreme, and carries a strong ninja world demon style.

"Don't rush back to the village yet."

"Lord Madara has instigated a war between Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha. After this battle, the Hokage's prestige will reach a new height."

"This is Madara helping the Hokage to take the initiative in battle. The Hokage really loves peace too much."

"Lord Madara will also use this turmoil to take control of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, making them completely controllable 'Konoha's unresolved external conflicts'..."

Ah Huo racked his brains to make Ban's intentions sound better:

"Let's just stay here and watch! You're essentially half a Devil, so you can contact me anytime via telepathy and also access the White Zetsu network..."

"There are still some details about returning to the village, I'll tell you about them slowly..."

Obito nodded seriously.

Ah-Huo told him so much, but Obito only really kept three things in mind.

First, unconditionally trust the Hokage; if you don't understand something, talk to the Hokage about it...

Second, Mr. Ah Huo is his brain.

Third, the clan leader has a difficult personality, so we need to find a way to clear his name!

"Sigh, Lord Madara..."

Ah-Huo and Obito sat cross-legged in the shade of a tree: Ah-Huo said, "You need to pay more attention to his affairs. As people get older, their thinking tends to become very stubborn, so sometimes it's like..."

Ah Huo pointed to his head, implying that he was mentally ill.

But it's hard to say these words out loud.

Obito nodded knowingly, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Because he also felt that the patriarch sometimes seemed to have a split personality, his way of thinking was always changing…

As for how to clear Ban's name in the end, even someone as capable as Ah Huo felt a headache.

They even wanted to revive Tobirama Senju!

Ban's identity will be exposed sooner or later, so he needs to find a way to shift the blame...

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when we return to the village…

It wasn't that Ah Huo wanted to criticize Madara, but after serving him for so many years, Ah Huo truly felt that Madara's emotional fluctuations were sometimes even greater than Obito's! If a series of matters weren't handled properly, who knows what kind of trouble the old man's heart might cause if unforeseen circumstances arose... After all, Madara could still casually bring up the incident of a little girl crying after seeing him back then...

Just as Ah-Huo was racking his brains, unable to find a reasonable logic to clear Ban's name,

At this moment, a large log, the size of a grain of rice, arrived at the mountain graveyard…

Otsutsuki Isshiki surveyed Madara's hiding place and sighed softly.

No wonder it took him so long to find it!

If Ashina Uzumaki hadn't appeared, and Isshiki hadn't been deliberately observing the White Zetsu network, it would have taken him much longer to find this place while wandering the ninja world!

Does this guy really dislike going out?

What Shiki didn't know was that, let alone a year or two, Madara used to stay here for ten-year periods at a time.

Madara's health improved after absorbing the power of the myriad phenomena of the universe that Nagato had acquired through the Rinnegan's modification.

In addition, Obito needed an open space for special training, which finally allowed him to step out of the gate.

As for the other six puppets, these old men naturally had no need to bask in the sun.

On weekdays, he either accompanies Obito in special training or gets together to joke around, offering sharp commentary on the various hidden villages and Kage of the ninja world.

They were having a great time chatting!

"Is this what they call the Demonic Statue of Heretics?"

"The Ten-Tails' hull and chakra have been separated..."

"Kaguya's son is really amazing. To be able to do this much, he is one of the strongest in the Otsutsuki clan. Momoshiki... at least Urashiki and the others don't have this ability."

"As expected of a descendant of the downgraded 'main family'..."

He hovered in front of the Gedo Mazo, squinting, and muttered to himself:

"Kaguya, you didn't expect this, did you? You bastard, you violated the clan's prohibition, but before I could even make a move, you suffered a backlash and were sealed away by your descendants who split off from you!"

Thinking about this, Ichishi felt that he was really unlucky.

When the Otsutsuki clan plants trees, they usually do so in pairs.

There is one main family and one guardian. The guardian can be understood as a branch family of the Hyuga clan.

When planting the sacred tree, the "family divider" acts as a catalyst to accelerate the process.

When they arrived in the ninja world, Isshiki was the head of the main family, while Kaguya served as the "Guardian".

The problem is that Kaguya, as a "branch family" member and "guardian," is very special.

Because she wasn't born that way, but was demoted due to her personality and inefficiency repeatedly failing to meet standards!

Kaguya was once a top-tier talent among the Otsutsuki clan, but her mindset clashed with the Otsutsuki clan's style, causing her to mess up many missions...

Therefore, he was demoted to "Guardian" and partnered with Isshiki.

Isshiki stared at the Gedo Mazo and sighed once again.

"If that weren't the case, how could I have been ambushed by a 'Guardian'?"

If it were another branch family member of the Otsutsuki clan, such as Kinshiki who partnered with Momoshiki.

Yi Shi didn't care at all that the opponent might sneak attack him, because even if he hit, it wouldn't make any difference.

There is a hierarchical gap between the two sides.

But it just so happens to be Kaguya!

To give an analogy, it's roughly like "Hinata from the branch family defeats Neji from the main family"...

"That ninja named Hiruzen Sarutobi said something very good."

Otsutsuki Isshiki went to Konoha. Although he didn't get Hiruzen Sarutobi, he read a lot of the notices on the bulletin board, many of which he found to be quite reasonable.

"Shame inspires courage!"

"Because of the unique nature of the ninja world, I was blinded by its immense power and actually underestimated you, a 'useless' who could only be demoted..."

"But as long as I get through this, I can turn this bitter experience into motivation and a wake-up call."

"I will go even faster than I did at my peak!"

Isshiki's eyes were full of ambition: "I want to cultivate my strength in the ninja world, to obtain everything that surpasses my peers, and even the treasure of the supreme being of the Otsutsuki clan..." "However, the ninja world is still too sinister."

For a thousand years in the ninja world, Ichishiki has been recuperating on one side.

On the other hand, they also discovered that there seemed to be traces of the Otsutsuki clan on this planet tens of thousands of years ago, long before he and Kaguya came to plant the tree...

And it concerns the "Shadow" of the Otsutsuki clan, the whereabouts of the strongest clan leader in history, "Shibai".

This person may very well pass away on this planet!

Therefore, Isshiki was once blinded by this enormous treasure.

He searched the ninja world like a headless fly for a long time without any results, only gaining more and more clues in his hands.

But after seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Gengetsu Hozuki fighting each other without any interaction, Isshiki suddenly woke up.

A mortal, without even a visible bloodline, is gradually elevating his life level, clumsily and ridiculously simulating his imagined bloodline network.

Even so, they still achieved some results.

On the other hand, he claims to be searching for the gods of the Otsutsuki clan, but he has accomplished nothing in the past few centuries, and even the lifespan of his vessel is about to run out! It seems that doing things practically is the highest level of understanding.

"Even if I obtained that person's remains in my current state, what could I do? Even at my peak, I couldn't digest them immediately; I would need to study them for a long time..."

"This is yet another lesson!"

"We must not aim too high, but take things one step at a time, and we must never be inferior to a lower-class creature in terms of character!"

For no apparent reason, the image of Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared in Isshiki's mind.

The proud Otsutsuki sighed once again.

What a wonderful container!

If it were Hiruzen Sarutobi, Isshiki even thought that perhaps after possessing his body, he could chat with him about training... Although ninjas are all inferior beings, Isshiki was still willing to give Hiruzen Sarutobi, who could simulate the Otsutsuki, some respect.

Treated like half a large bamboo log!

"Unfortunately, Kaguya's son chose Hiruzen Sarutobi, so I can only use this half-decayed vessel..." Isshiki glanced at Madara Uchiha, who was deep in thought, and curled his lips.

Just make do with it!

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's physical body, Madara Uchiha, although possessing the so-called "Power of All Things in the World," had a deficiency within him and a limited upper limit.

It still follows the path of the Otsutsuki bloodline, which is nothing new for Isshiki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's "Sealing Technique Construct" and "Bloodline Limits Youth Version" are not even half as attractive to him!

"But it's still better than being a vessel like Cixian."

"We can't repeat past mistakes. If we keep nitpicking, we'll make big mistakes!"

His enemies are no longer just Kaguya.

The Sage of Six Paths felt much more threatening to Isshiki than Kaguya…

That woman only had one moment of triumph in her life, but unfortunately, he was the one who encountered her.

But then things went awry again, and he failed to maintain good relationships with his offspring who had split off from him…

No matter how talented you are, with this kind of brain, you'll never achieve anything in this life!

One move calmed my mind.

"It's already a good thing that we've found a vessel for reincarnation in the ninja world..."

"This one will do!"

It's always best to do it all at once.

However, with the Sage of Six Paths hindering them, they could only try to improve the situation by using Madara Uchiha as an option.

A tiny, rice-grain-sized technique, concealing its form, slowly entered Madara Uchiha's body through his ear. The power known as "Karma" struck him slowly and discreetly!

The "Kujiri" contains various information and power of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Once the transcription is successful, Madara Uchiha will transform into Isshiki Otsutsuki.

And Madara himself naturally became a sacrifice for the new life.

In this process, the "Karma" will provide Madara Uchiha with new power.

Each time this power is used, or if the reincarnated person does not resist, the transcription speed will gradually increase, which is also the design to induce the container to fall.

One method can also follow the transcription process, gradually intervening in the patch's thinking and controlling his actions...

Ultimately, he became the master of this body!

He slowly closed his eyes.

The power of the "Karma" flowed and took root within Madara Uchiha's body.

An inconspicuous black spot gradually appeared on the back of the neck, at the spinal canal.

This time, Ichishi decided to slow down the pace.

He would first use Madara's identity as a cover to establish an organization throughout the ninja world capable of gathering intelligence on various forces, before commencing his operations. "The battle between ninjas is a battle of intelligence..."

Isshiki murmured softly within Madara Uchiha's body, "That makes sense. Even for the Otsutsuki clan, intelligence is a crucial element." As one of the masterminds behind the ninja world, Madara Uchiha's increased activity and exposed presence attracted the even deeper wrath of Isshiki Otsutsuki. The secrets behind the entire ninja world seemed like a dark forest…

Every bookmaker is carefully concealing their movements.

If you don't possess decisive strength after making your appearance, you might be silently devoured by others...

What Yishi didn't know was...

Even without the Sage of Six Paths, in his current state, if he were to enter Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, he wouldn't have it as smoothly as he did in Madara Uchiha's body.

Because the sealing techniques within Hiruzen Sarutobi's body are definitely rudimentary compared to those of the Otsutsuki clan.

If Six Paths: Planetary Devastation is a prison made of refined steel, then the seal within Hiruzen Sarutobi's body is like dozens of layers of duct tape. Though primitive, the sheer number of these seals combined is enough to overwhelm even a less-than-perfect Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Moreover, this is also a manifestation of the materialization of the Will of Fire.

The saying goes, "Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help." It may be a coincidence that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who followed the Will of Fire and the Ninja School, was noticed by the Sage of Six Paths, but in a sense, it was also inevitable.

"What's going on..."

Madara Uchiha suddenly shivered, but felt a warm current surging through his body.

He looked up at the demonic statue of the heretic and nodded thoughtfully:

"Is there progress in my extraction of the power of all things from the Gedo Mazo? I thought I still wouldn't be able to replenish my essence, but it seems to be a gradual process. Luck is finally on my side..."

"Was it Hiruzen's performance that inspired me? It got my blood pumping..."

Madara Uchiha stared at his hands and smiled slightly.

In any case, this is a good thing!

A young body was the obsession he had longed for for decades…

Sensing Madara Uchiha's emotions, Isshiki also laughed.

That's it...

Embrace his power and accelerate the transcription process!

Meanwhile, in the distant ninja world...

The Sage of Rokudo, who was making ramen, picked up a towel to wipe his forehead and laughed as well.

He is intricately connected to every reincarnation of Indra and Asura…

If Isshiki were to roam the ninja world, even the Sage of Six Paths would have difficulty pinpointing his exact location.

By actively seeking out Madara Uchiha, they actually pinpointed his location...

"Tsk..."

"It seems like we need to make some minor adjustments..."

"How should we adjust this? This is a big problem; we still need to focus on fairness and balance..."

The Sage of Six Paths was deep in thought.

"Let's go, we should go mediate in the ninja world!"

Madara Uchiha donned Tobi's robes, feeling the vitality of the flesh, and with a wave of his hand:

"It's time for the Crimson Organization to officially take over Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Let's go talk to Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

And at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was galloping across the battlefield, suddenly froze when he saw the Third Raikage and Onoki approaching.

Onoki and the Raikage exchanged a glance, their faces showing confusion.

no…

Why are they so surprised?

But Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed even deeper.

Why did he hear a woman's voice?

P.S.: Sorry readers, I'm a little late (0r2). I didn't manage to slack off at work this afternoon...
