Simultaneous Time Travel: What Villain? I'm the Protagonist!

As dawn broke, golden ripples spread across the sea. The army of the Feathered Immortal Sect stretched out across the water, their golden light blending together to form a second ocean.

More than a hundred Jonin spread their chakra wings and floated in the air, a thousand Chunin stood on the water, and tens of thousands of Genin rode in boats.

Sheng Ren hovered at the forefront of the army, his golden wings fully spread, each feather radiating a divine glow. His gaze pierced through the morning mist, locking onto the Mizukage Building in the center of Kirigakure.

"According to the plan, attack in three directions." Sheng Ren's voice was transmitted to the consciousness of every commander through the faith network. "Xia Rixing, you lead the left flank to land from the east, focusing on attacking the administrative area of ​​Kirigakure. Night Hawk, the right flank will attack from the west, targeting the ninja tool depot and training grounds. Death Burial, you lead the elite squad to directly raid the Mizukage Building."

"Yes!" the three commanders replied in unison.

"Remember our principles: do not kill those who surrender, do not harm civilians, only punish the ringleaders. Now—"

Sheng Ren formed a hand seal, and his wings flapped suddenly, sending a golden beam of light soaring into the sky.

"attack!"

Golden beams of light exploded in the sky like signal flares, and the army of the Feathered Immortal Sect surged toward Wuyin Village like a golden tide.

Almost simultaneously, alarms blared throughout the Hidden Mist Village.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"It's the army of the Bear Kingdom! Their numbers... their numbers are incalculable!"

"All ninjas, prepare for battle!"

The Hidden Mist Village ninjas quickly assembled, but their reaction appeared somewhat chaotic. Some ninjas followed orders and went to the defensive line, while others hesitated, and a few even secretly retreated—these were Hidden Mist ninjas who had been exposed to the Visualization Technique or had been turned over in the past three months.

"What's going on? Why is someone backing away?" a Kirigakure Jonin roared.

"Captain, look...look over there," a Chunin stammered.

The Jonin looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The boundless horizon was dyed into a golden sea by the sunlight, and in the depths of the golden sea, a figure slowly emerged from a whirlpool. The figure towered into the clouds and dominated everyone's sight.

His golden wings had now swelled to the point of blotting out the sky, each feather as if cast in gold, reflecting a sacred and majestic light in the morning glow. His enormous body stood within the golden pillar of light, like a mythical deity descending to earth.

"What...what kind of monster is that?" The voice of the Kirigakure Jonin trembled.

"No...it's not a monster..." another Hidden Mist ninja murmured, "It's a god...a god has descended...the God of Ascension!!!"

At this moment, all the Hidden Mist ninja felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. It wasn't the pressure of chakra, but something more fundamental and primal—a suppression at the level of life itself. Like ants looking up at a dragon, like mortals looking up at a god.

Sheng Ren slowly raised his right hand, palm down, and gently pressed it against the Kirigakure defense line.

"Immortal Technique: Formless Waters"

Golden raindrops poured down as if they were real, striking the Hidden Mist Village's defensive barrier in an instant. The barrier, capable of withstanding dozens of S-rank ninjutsu, shattered like glass before the golden raindrops, dissipating into countless points of light.

With a single strike, the Hidden Mist Village's proud defensive system completely collapsed.

Before the Hidden Mist members could even react in shock, Sheng Ren struck again:

"Celestial Art: Celestial Wood Vitality"

The originally torrential raindrops now seemed to have gained a touch of vitality. The golden raindrops fell on the earth without causing damage; instead, they seeped into the soil like sweet dew.

In an instant, withered trees came back to life, the cracked earth began to heal, and the wounded ninjas on the battlefield were surprised to find that their wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This...this is a healing ninjutsu? How can it have such a wide range of healing?" A medical ninja from Kirigakure stared in shock at his completely healed arm, where there used to be a deep, bone-revealing knife wound.

Not only were their physical injuries being rapidly repaired, but their chakra depletion and mental exhaustion were also being rapidly restored. Golden light enveloped the entire battlefield, and the Feathered Immortal Sect ninjas fought with increasing ferocity, while the Hidden Mist Village's resistance began to waver.

"He's... healing us?" A Kirigakure chunin stared in disbelief at his restored strength.

"No, he's undermining our morale." Another Kirigakure Jonin's face was ashen. "This is psychological warfare! Don't be fooled!"

But it was too late.

"It really is true! The God of Ascension, the God of Ascension has come to save us!"

"The God of Ascension has come to save us!" The Mist-Hidden Defense Line began to crumble.

They were not defeated by force, but by their faith.

Those Hidden Mist ninjas who had practiced visualization techniques over the past three months were now filled with fanaticism. They dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and worshipped the enormous golden figure in the sky.

"Stop! What are you doing!" the commanders of the Hidden Mist Village roared, but their orders were ignored.

More and more people began to waver, and surrender began.

One, two, ten, a hundred… hordes of Hidden Mist ninja laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground. They were not defeated by power, but by hope.

"attack!"

The army of the Feathered Immortal Sect roared and seized the opportunity to surge into Wuyin Village like a flood bursting its banks.

However, Kirigakure was, after all, a major ninja village, and not everyone chose to surrender.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

Countless water-style ninjutsu techniques were unleashed by the Hidden Mist ninja, creating towering waves that surged towards the golden torrent. However, the ninjas of the Feathered Immortal Sect were prepared—

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

The wind, fire, and lightning elemental ninjutsu erupted from the Feathered Immortal Sect's ranks, colliding with the Hidden Mist Village's water-style techniques. The wind fueled the fire, the fire borrowed the wind's power, and the lightning was conducted through the water, instantly creating a chain reaction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions occurred one after another around Kirigakure Village, and the fog, water vapor, and smoke mixed together, obscuring the view.

On the east side, Xia Rixing led the left-wing force to land first. They didn't directly attack the Hidden Mist's defenses, but instead formed ranks on the beach, with Xia Rixing standing alone before the formation:

"Wind Release: Free and Unfettered Black Gold Sword Wave!"

The wind, sharp as a sword blade, howled and tore apart everything in their path, including Hidden Mist Ninjutsu and defensive fortifications.

Summer Star's red hair danced in the gale. She was the first Jonin of the Feathered Immortal Sect to master Wind Release: Free Profound Gold Sword Wave. At this moment, she was using all her strength to suppress the entire eastern front by herself.

The defenses of the Fog Shadows have shown clear signs of faltering.

To the west, the right flank of Night Hawk swiftly destroyed all the defensive fortifications surrounding Mist Village.

"Fire Release: Sevenfold Azure Flame!"

Nighthawk flicked his hands, and a strange emerald green flame appeared. It wasn't hot, but once you got stuck, you couldn't break free.

"Oh no, this flame is burning my chakra!" a Kirigakure Jonin cried out in alarm as he tried to use Water Release, only to find his chakra being constantly depleted.

"Water Release: Water Flow Technique!" The companions who were not affected by the fire quickly released Water Release to try to save people, but after the water flow hit the flames, the fire not only did not decrease but increased.

"Is this fire immune to water?" But something even more terrifying happened: the emerald green flames spread along the path of the water flow, instantly engulfing the Hidden Mist ninjas who were trying to come to his rescue.

Night Hawk stared expressionlessly at everything before him. The Azure Flame Seven Refinement Flame was no ordinary flame; unless the caster restrained it, the flame would never go out.

Meanwhile, the ANBU squad led by Death Burial had already quietly infiltrated the Hidden Mist Village and headed straight for the Mizukage Building.

On the top floor of the Mizukage Building, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, or rather—Black Zetsu, coldly watched the army outside the window.

"They've finally arrived." Yagura's voice carried a chilling murderous intent. "What a grand welcoming ceremony. Morihito, it's no wonder I valued you so much."

Seven figures quietly appeared behind him.

"Lord Mizukage, when shall we make our move?" Hoshigaki Oni stepped forward, his words conveying an eagerness to act immediately.
