Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth.

This vast, lawless plain became the battlefield where the Otsutsuki clan and the ninja first clashed.

Sensing the information transmitted by the Scarlet Organization members before the connection was lost, Isshiki frowned slightly:

"They all lost decisively...so quickly, much faster than I expected..."

"Humans with the Will of Fire are truly terrifying," Isshiki muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Isshiki no longer wanted to refer to the natives of the ninja world as "inferior beings"...

Having spent nine hundred years wandering the ninja world, plotting resurrection for ninety years, and only in recent years have I finally set aside my arrogance, gained a deep understanding of this planet's power, and truly appreciated the terrifying speed of progress of the Konoha ninjas...

"For the past few hundred years, they were just an insignificant mob. Although there were one or two slightly outstanding ninjas, they fought each other endlessly and died naturally in the midst of internal strife..."

"But the Will of Fire has united these ants, unleashing a power that even the Otsutsuki must take seriously! This is not right; this is not the speed of normal growth..."

"This isn't growth, it should be called an explosion!" Isshiki said to Momoshiki in a deep voice.

Although the members of the Scarlet Organization are not under Isshiki's precise control, Isshiki can still see them during battles...

One style clearly shows...

In Konoha, all the lower-ranking ninjas have acquired the "meme" of the God Tree!

Moreover, a significant number of ninjas also possess natural energies that are highly compatible with chakra.

The structure of surgical techniques is also constantly being innovated…

Even low-ranking ninjas now have the potential to harm the Otsutsuki!

It has achieved a qualitative leap from zero to one...

"This seems rather tricky. No wonder Lords Hiroshiki and Kuramashiki have shown such special interest in the ninja world..."

Momoshiki nodded silently:

"However, they are still in the developmental stage, and their life level has not yet undergone a leap..."

"We still hold the advantage... but we absolutely must stop the expansion of the ninja world now, and not let these natives expand any further!" Isshiki observed the battlefield, his heart sinking, and he silently communicated with Momoshiki:

"The Hokage hasn't arrived yet! He's someone we must treat with utmost care. Can you contact Urashiki?"

The changing situation made Isshiki want to find more helpers.

He had initially thought that the Scarlet Organization could at least deplete some of Konoha's manpower...

Even with the hastily assembled White Zetsu army, the situation remained one-sided...

What's more troublesome is that Konoha's rapid growth over the past three years has made Isshiki feel uneasy.

It seems there's an information gap!

"I've already analyzed the information Madara Uchiha obtained... Damn it! He said something about Konoha's second number, but he doesn't know any of the important changes. He's completely living in his own world..."

"Ichishi thought to himself, annoyed."

However, what Yi Shi didn't know was that he had already been exposed.

With the combined efforts of Izuna, Akari, Obito, and Black Zetsu, Madara, much like the former Hidden Mist Village, entered the "Madara Clan's World," where information was monopolized by goodwill...

The technique within him was naturally also affected, and along with Madara, it was filled with false information.

"I wonder where Urashiki went. He should have arrived long ago..."

Momoshiki snorted coldly:

"I bet he's off gallivanting somewhere. After this mission, I'm definitely going to impeach him severely! Just because he has a few ancestral treasures doesn't mean he cares about the traditions of his clan..."

Yishi sighed.

Urashiki didn't come; he was actually thinking of retreating on the spot...

But there was nothing he could do; as someone burdened by guilt for a failed mission, he had no right to order Momoshiki around…

"We have no choice but to fight!"

Even if the Hokage hadn't appeared.

"If the Hokage intervenes, I'll engage in a symbolic battle, give them my due, and then retreat..."

One style is deep in thought:

"Where is the Hokage? Momoshiki and I showed up, but he didn't show up. He just sent these Konoha committee members to deal with us..."

"This isn't right. The Hokage isn't arrogant."

As Yi Shi pondered the matter, he became increasingly vigilant.

Such a response and arrangement…

It's as if the Hokage foresaw that the threat they posed could be contained by the ninja world.

They were used as whetstones, allowing the ninja world to directly confront the threat of the Otsutsuki and undergo profound tempering...

And Yi Shi's guess was half right...

#

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi held a wooden dragon brand cigarette between his fingers, the smoke swirling silently.

The alternate dimension, the rapid development after the basic unification of the ninja world, the anticipated explosion of long-term projects, the formal entry of the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura, Toneri, and others into the village...

All these factors combined led to a qualitative change through a complex quantitative change, allowing the Hokage to achieve a leap in his level of existence.

On the office desk sits Urashiki's radar treasure.

"These coordinates roughly represent the Ōtsutsuki clan's assistant, Zangshiki..." Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the light spot on it, distinct from Isshiki and Momoshiki. At the start of this war, the major shareholder of Ichiraku Ramen, a model business in Konoha, came to the Hokage's office and handed him the power of the Six Paths Yin-Yang...

"Hiruzen, I am the Sage of Six Paths."

"These invaders are Mother's own kind, extremely dangerous! But with the Six Paths Yin-Yang Power I've cultivated in this Pure Land for a thousand years, and with you and me backing us up, defeating them in the end shouldn't be difficult..."

"But we can't always let the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, or you, the Hokage, carry the burden alone. If possible, please let the ninja world face the Otsutsuki's might alone this time!"

"I will act as a safety net, doing everything in my power to ensure the souls of the wounded and injured are received so that they may be resurrected later."

"This is a rare test of the ninja world's growth and resilience!"

After undergoing a qualitative leap in his life level, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki were two old foxes who were pretending to be weak but were actually strong.

But to his surprise, the Sage of Six Paths revealed his identity so readily and decisively, even coming to his door to present a generous gift with the power of the Six Paths Yin and Yang, displaying a very respectful attitude…

What Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know was...

The Sage of Six Paths has always been extremely generous to his disciples and successors, a practice that has been true for over a thousand years.

"Even without the Sage of Six Paths, I'm not in a position to move right now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi squinted and looked out the window, locking onto a blurry location in the vast sky.

The faint aura emanating from there made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel vaguely wary and uneasy.

Even the so-called "Otsutsuki Assistant Zangshiki" in Urashiki's radar treasure, under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control, would occasionally flash in position, but this mysterious existence could not be revealed.

"Fire style?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi squinted as he pronounced the tongue-twisting name.

As Urashiki said, the head of the Ōtsutsuki clan enforces the will of the entire clan...

"With the arrival of the assistants and the clan leader, it's quite a lively scene..."

"Even if it weren't for the Sage of Six Paths' request, I can't make a move now. I need to start warming up and gathering my strength..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was fixed on the battle between the strongest member of the Otsutsuki clan in the distance. The best way to win was to start by burning himself to suppress all of the opponent's mechanisms and then kill him in one fell swoop.

However, even Hiruzen Sarutobi needed a certain amount of time to enter this state…

"The final battle against the Otsutsuki clan?"

"Hold on, ninjas whose hearts burn with the will of fire..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes slightly.

Kaguya, however, inside him, looked terrified.

It wasn't because she learned of the arrival of Hishiki, the strongest Otsutsuki...

Rather, it was because, as the being within Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kaguya was most able to sense the Hokage's burning body...

The burning energy was sealed and restricted by Hiruzen Sarutobi's physical body, preventing it from spreading to the outside, but it stirred up a huge storm inside!

Chakra underwent a fission-like process, collapsing from its most basic form and transforming into extremely bizarre particles.

In Kaguya's vision, Hiruzen Sarutobi was constantly heating up, and the invisible radiation seemed to materialize, outlining deep and ethereal patterns...

Kaguya herself was protected within the "second heart" formed by Hiruzen Sarutobi's Ten Thousand Seals, remaining unaffected...

"Hiruzen, what are you doing?!"

Kaguya couldn't help but ask loudly.

Such fluctuations made Kaguya wonder if even at her peak, she might not be able to withstand a punch from Hiruzen in this state… “What kind of technique is this… When did Hiruzen develop it?”

Kaguya's feelings were complicated.

Over the years, she thought she knew Hiruzen Sarutobi very well, but she hadn't realized that this man had researched such a terrifying technique without batting an eye... But thinking about it carefully, this approach was exactly in Hiruzen Sarutobi's style...

He's always like a mountain, silent and unassuming, quietly doing what he can to ensure everyone's well-being, but he doesn't tell anyone, only smiling and encouraging everyone's progress...

But when a real crisis arrives, they always step forward.

"Of course, it's to deal with the monsters of the Otsutsuki clan..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was hoarse, tinged with laughter but seemingly trembling with pain: "Arrogance is the original sin of survival..." "Faced with such an opponent, I must try to end the battle as quickly as possible, without giving him any extra space, to establish victory from the very beginning." Hiruzen Sarutobi gave this technique a very old-fashioned name...

It's called "The Technique to Protect the Ninja World"!

With his expertise and mastery of ninjutsu, he built a powerful technique based on the Eight Gates and the Nine-Tails' heavy particle mode, embellished with the Seven-Day Breathing Technique, Sage Mode, and the Ten Thousand Seals Body Seal, and using Spirit Release as its core!

It allows one's chakra and cells to enter a state similar to "fission," exponentially increasing the basic values ​​in all aspects.

Including attack, defense, perception...

And enhance the "decomposition" feature!

When Hiruzen Sarutobi fully enters the "Guardian Fission" state, the characteristics of his Spirit Release will be explosively enhanced, allowing him to disintegrate and disable the opponent's mechanisms with extremely high priority...

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was warming up himself, was actually using the enhancement brought by the prefix to further anchor the position and state of the Fire Style with the enhanced perception in order to confirm that the opponent had appeared in his true form.

At their level of existence, unless someone is a fool like Kaguya, or someone is fooled by a shadow clone in a desperate gamble, they can sense each other.

This is also why members of the Otsutsuki clan of the same level can sense each other...

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's advantage lies in the fact that his sealing ability can effectively mask this obvious "pre-cast animation," unlike the Eight Gates Formation, which requires a significant warm-up...

Kaguya listened silently to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

She knew all too well how terrifying the arrival of the Tibetan and Fire styles was...

The rapid development of the ninja world has attracted terrifying covetous eyes.

This is the ultimate test!

However, Kaguya couldn't help but be moved when she saw Hiruzen Sarutobi enter this state without hesitation.

What she saw was not only the decisiveness in the face of a powerful enemy, but also an attitude called "responsibility"...

"Hiruzen, this technique is too terrifying..."

"Can your body handle it?"

Kaguya asked hesitantly.

"You have to endure it even if you can't handle it, you have to fight even if you can't win, and you can't give up even if things are difficult..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a light laugh, "The backlash will naturally be severe, but with you here, I believe it will be much better..."

"Once this state ends, the chakra within my body is predicted to disintegrate into a chaotic flow. At that point, I'll likely be unable to manage it, and I'll need your help, Kaguya..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked directly at Kaguya and said with a faint smile:

"You are me, and an important part of this technique."

"Over the past few years, you have been very diligent in your training, and your understanding of techniques is far beyond what it used to be... Most importantly, you laid the foundation for my bloodline threads; my foundation was woven by your own hands..."

No one knows my body better than you.

"Therefore, only you can handle the aftermath for me..."

This statement may sound ambiguous, but it truly reflects the bond between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kaguya.

Kaguya blushed inappropriately and subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Is this what it feels like to be trusted?

Although she was overjoyed, Kaguya was still nervous, because it involved Hiruzen Sarutobi's life or death...

If she doesn't do it well...

"Hiruzen, I still don't have confidence..."

"If I don't do a good job... will you be in danger? Can I really handle it?"

Kaguya pursed her lips and said softly.

Compared to her past self, Kaguya felt that she was indeed a completely different person now…

From understanding and mastering techniques to advanced combat and the composition of chakra origins, under Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands-on guidance, they all made rapid progress, undergoing a transformation akin to being reborn...

But when it comes to fighting against the Fire Style, and even more so to serving as Hiruzen Sarutobi's backup hidden energy source...

This responsibility and pressure brought Kaguya both the comfort of being completely trusted and the fear.

"Kaguya, I believe in you, and you must believe in the ninjas of the ninja world too..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly, "Do you remember what we talked about? The Will of Fire technique, which connects the chakra of ninjas into a single entity, you said it's similar to Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

Kaguya's eyes lit up:

"Hiruzen, you mean..."

"To heal injuries, or to provide assistance in battle..."

"That's right. While you're in 'Protecting the Ninja World State,' it's inconvenient for you to use ninjutsu. However, since we're operating on two parallel paths, we can also use the main body within the moon to fuse Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Will of Fire technique together..."

"I'll transfer the big guy's chakra to you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded.

This silly woman has finally come to her senses…

In reality, even without Kaguya, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have been unable to withstand the backlash.

However, this is a golden opportunity for Kaguya to withstand the pressure and grow into the "True Goddess of the Rabbit"...

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that the love and trust among comrades could transform Kaguya...

Join forces with him to win this war against the Otsutsuki!

PS:

The treatment went relatively smoothly!

The doctor said he needs to be observed for a few more days, so Xiaofan needs to take two more days off to stay at the hospital with the old man.

I'll definitely update regularly once I get home. Thank you all for your understanding! (or2222)
