Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

"Young man! Please!!"

If he had control of his body, Hashirama Senju would have wanted to bow deeply to Kamui at a ninety-degree angle, or even kneel down in a dogeza salute.

He urgently needs to find out the truth and stop the war to prevent more villagers from being harmed.

Looking at his idiot brother who was "performing as usual," Tobirama Senju could only remain silent.

"Okay, but we have to wait until my third brother finishes fighting first!"

Kamui looked at Hashirama, this simple-minded old man, and wondered why he saw a bit of Lu Ya's shadow in this guy.

Will Lu Ya end up like this guy in the future?

Although I've gotten older, my personality still retains a childlike innocence.

Compared to the black-haired man, the silver-haired man was more deep-thinking, and his scheming was probably even more complex and profound than Orochimaru's.

He had only ever felt this way with his father and Uncle Redfield.

"This..." Hashirama Senju's expression fell a little.

"Don't worry! It'll be quick!" Kamui smiled faintly.

Then, Kamui shouted at Katakuri.

"Katakuri, speed things up! We still have a lot to do!"

Kamui's single sentence instantly made Katakuri, who wanted to force Hiruzen Sarutobi to show more of his techniques, take things seriously.

Katakuri usually fights in his human form, and it's rare for anyone to force him to fight in his beast form.

Urged on by Kamui, Katakuri immediately entered the half-beast form of the Mythical Zoan type Kirin.

Its body grew hard scales, and its head transformed into the head of a Qilin dragon.

"If you have no cards left to play, then this is the end of it!"

"You have no qualifications or strength to force me to awaken my abilities and control the power of the Overlord's Entanglement."

Katakuri wielded the jet-black Earth Dragon Trident, his arms growing three times larger, and the Conqueror's Haki emanating from him became even more ferocious.

He did indeed want to use the world's strong as stepping stones to squeeze out his awakened abilities and potential to control the Overlord's Entanglement.

Unfortunately, even the strongest Hokage from the most hidden village in the ninja world only had this much strength.

He was extremely disappointed!

This old man is even less capable than that mushroom-headed ninja who's currently fighting Lu Ya.

"This next move is going to be really powerful, I hope you don't die!!"

"Qilin's Breath - Celestial Calamity!!"

A dazzling light burst forth from Katakuri's Kirin dragon head.

A golden laser beam, wreathed in orange-yellow Kirin fire, shot out and hurtled toward Hiruzen Sarutobi at incredible speed.

"Hey, hey, hey, I surrender! I surrender!!"

"Spiritual Communication - Fivefold Rashomon!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite frightened and quickly summoned five Rashomon Gates of Hell, which possessed the strongest defensive power, to block the golden energy wave that was even more terrifying than the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

One defensive stone door after another was blasted apart by the golden laser cannon.

It couldn't even adjust the angle of Rashomon to deflect the golden laser cannon.

These seemingly insurmountable Rashomon-like structures were destroyed in an instant, as easily as tofu!

"How could someone be that strong?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were filled with shock, but as an old man who had lived for so many years...

He had no intention of using the Reaper Death Seal to perish together with Katakuri.

After all, even if he were to perish together with Katakuri, there would still be five divine children remaining.

Perhaps dying alongside Katakuri would only further enrage the remaining divine children.

Not only would he fail to become the Hokage who sacrificed himself for Konoha, but he would also become the culprit who destroyed Konoha.

So even if he were to die in battle, he still wouldn't be able to kill Katakuri.

What's more, this monster also possesses the ability to foresee the future.

His success rate in sealing away corpses was less than 40%.

Before the final Rashomon gate was blown up, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly activated two ninjutsu.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Reverse psychic abilities!

He left behind an indistinguishable physical clone, which took the brunt of Katakuri's destructive beam while feigning death.

Meanwhile, the original body was instantly teleported back to the Ape King, a summoning beast that had already been destroyed and returned to the Ape Demon Holy Land.

He had mastered this escape technique to perfection.

They even gave this escape technique a funny name: the True and False Monkey King.

That shadow clone of the fake monkey on the battlefield, it's fine if it's dead.

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared at the Sacred Land of the Monkey King, the memory of his shadow clone being blasted to death came back to him.

died!

He died, unsurprisingly!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside Konoha Village.

Countless ninjas stared wide-eyed as their strongest Hokage was killed!

They were completely annihilated by this earth-shattering, exaggerated energy cannon!

Katakuri frowned. Something was wrong. He died just like that?

His Observation Haki and Foresight Observation Haki didn't seem to detect anything unusual.

The old man's real body was indeed blasted apart.

But his fighting instincts told him that his opponent was not dead.

How come the ninjas in this world have such strong survival abilities?

Even with his Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee the future, he still couldn't see Hiruzen Sarutobi appear.

"The monkey has been killed!!"

Hashirama Senju was a little numb. He still wanted to find Hiruzen Sarutobi to find out the truth, but the monkey was directly blasted into annihilation.

Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru raised an eyebrow; they couldn't believe Hiruzen Sarutobi had died just like that.

A possibility flashed through their minds in an instant.

"So strong!!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were filled with starlight; he was determined to cling to these divine children.

Once he learns the power of these divine children, he will definitely be able to defeat Uchiha Itachi.

Kamui hadn't expected Katakuri to kill the Third Hokage so easily, and he looked at Hashirama Senju with a bit of embarrassment.

I just agreed to let this uncle question the Third Hokage.

The next moment, Katakuri scattered all of the person's ashes.

"Don't rush, big brother!"

"That monkey isn't so easy to kill!"

"He was probably sent to the sacred land of monkeys by the reverse spirit of the ape demon."

Tobirama Senju snapped at Hashirama, immediately silencing the noisy First Hokage.

"It's good that he's not dead! It's good that he's not dead! We must find out the truth before we put him on trial."

Hashirama Senju patted his chest. He would not wrong any innocent person, nor did he want to let any enemy go unpunished.

"They're still alive?"

"I must say, you ninjas have some really impressive survival skills!"

Kamui was slightly startled. He immediately thought of the white-haired ninja who had fought Shanks not long ago, and that guy had also mysteriously disappeared.

These ninjas weren't physically strong, but they were incredibly difficult to kill.

Various clones, substitutes, teleportation... and even space-time techniques for survival.

"The third brother should have finished the fight."

"Orochimaru, you can release these two now."

Kamui is somewhat interested in this Impure World Reincarnation technique; it's a bit like a zombie with the Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, and he'll probably have to sign a contract with it.

Im's Devil Fruit powers, as well as his Shadow-Shadow Fruit and Hobby-Hobby Fruit powers, all require the user to sign a contract to fully control them.

The control talisman used by Orochimaru is probably something similar to a contract.

I don't know if I'm capable of learning this kind of ninjutsu.

This technique can actually revive people who have been dead for decades, and they even retain such complete consciousness.

This is more interesting than shadow zombies, and even more interesting than the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) ability.

Such powerful ninjutsu, with such high strategic significance, is something these ninjas never utilize.

What a waste! It's such a damn waste!

That's utterly brainless!

Even if they aren't used for fighting and expansion, they can be used as teachers to educate the next generation...

No wonder even the strongest hidden village isn't that strong!

If you're not smart, even mountains of gold and silver are useless; you'll just leave them like stones...
