Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 125 Father, hurry! Go kill Li Yao now!

"Hiruzen, what... Heavenly Pillar!!!"

While others dared not venture into the backyard of the Third Hokage's residence, the Third Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, had no such reservations.

Upon entering the backyard, Biwako was prepared for a fight. Seeing her husband squatting on the ground looking helpless, she thought something had happened and wanted to ask him. But when she went over, the sight of her son's skeletal figure and her daughter-in-law's naked body covered in sticky fluid instantly came into view, causing Biwako to scream.

"Heavenly Pillar!!!"

Biwako rushed over and immediately picked up her son with immense heartache and anger, as if she were holding a large baby. Tears had already broken through her bloodshot eyes and streamed down her face.

"What's going on? Hiruzen!!!"

Biwako turned to her husband angrily and questioned him.

The three generations remained silent. He didn't know how to answer his wife. He had sent his son to track down Li Yao, but he never expected his son to end up like this.

Seeing her husband's remorseful, angry, and silent expression, Biwako was so angry that she wanted to slap him, but at this moment she wanted to know what had happened.

What heartless beast turned his son into this state?

"Aya...Ayase!"

Biwako turned her gaze to her daughter-in-law and noticed that her daughter-in-law, whose eyes were glazed over and who appeared to be severely traumatized, was still naked. She quickly took off her own coat and covered her daughter-in-law's body, which was radiating energy.

Afterwards, Biwako and the third generation questioned their daughter-in-law.

However, at this time, Sarutobi Ayase's mental state was severely damaged, and she had fallen into her own world, unable to hear the Third Hokage and Biwako's words at all.

"Let them get some rest first."

In the end, it was Enma who spoke first, which brought the Third Hokage and Biwako back to their senses, and they each picked up their sons and daughters-in-law and went back to their rooms to rest.

On the way, San Dai told his wife that Li Yao had done this to their son, and he became convinced that Li Yao was responsible.

At this moment, Li Yao, who was not to blame, returned to the belly of the Black Iron Giant Eagle. Looking at the empty space, he silently sensed the location of the Black Iron Chains and the Vajra Sealing Chakra that were still in Sarutobi and the other person's bodies.

A moment later, Li Yao released the control over the chakra within the two individuals, allowing it to dissipate, and then smiled.

He sensed the presence of the Third Hokage's chakra from the vague chakra left in the bodies of his son and daughter-in-law.

There is no doubt that Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife have returned to Konoha.

"Reverse psychic magic, huh!"

Li Yao had heard of this ninjutsu, which was said to be the inspiration for the Flying Thunder God Technique, and was not unfamiliar with it.

The sudden disappearance and reappearance of Sarutobi Tenjuro and his wife beside the Third Hokage can only be explained by this ninjutsu.

Surely the two of them can't use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"That's good, it saves me a lot of time."

"I imagine the Third Generation must be very happy with the human stick gift I gave him right now."

Li Yao chuckled and controlled the black iron giant eagle to fly north at high speed. He could imagine the painful scene when the third generation saw his beloved son turned into a human stick. He must be very angry, very regretful, and very hateful to him.

very good!

That's it!

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

Although he couldn't see the pain on the Third Generation's face, Li Yao was still feeling happy, which proved that his revenge plan was correct.

Death can happen in an instant.

Living is eternal suffering.

A week later.

Li Yao crossed the Arctic region and arrived at a large island.

This area is covered in ice and snow all year round and is uninhabited, but it is home to a variety of animals of all sizes.

This place is nice, but it's cold for others, and there's no wood to burn for warmth, so it's hard to imagine anyone surviving here for long.

However, it was just right for Li Yao. With his Wood Release and Fire Release abilities, he didn't have to worry about not having enough wood to burn for warmth and to roast meat.

There's no need to worry about not having a place to stay and keeping warm.

This is a good place to live in seclusion; Li Yao's journey north was worthwhile.

"Wood Release: Three Rooms and One Living Room Technique".

In a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the other, near the mountainside, Li Yao had a sudden thought, and a sturdy wooden house facing the sea rose from the snow and ice.

"When I emerge from the valley, I will be invincible."

Upon entering the wooden house, Li Yaosheng started a fire to warm himself while taking out roasted meat from the black water space where chakra was condensed in his storage space. He was filled with anticipation for the future.

While Li Yao was living in seclusion in the Arctic Circle.

The ninja world has descended into complete chaos, and the true Ninja World War has begun.

After the Third Raikage launched a surprise attack on the northern border forces of the Land of Fire without declaring war.

The Third Tsuchikage personally led the army, launching an undeclared war against the Land of Lightning.

Unable to find Li Yao, the Third Tsuchikage chose to attack the Land of Lightning to avenge his beloved daughter, since the Third Raikage was also responsible for injuring her.

The Land of Water also joined in the fray, launching surprise attacks on the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, similarly without declaring war.

From then on, the five great nations of the ninja world were plunged into a chaotic war.

Each country is at war with at least two other countries simultaneously.

The Land of Fire, surrounded by the five great nations, is fighting against all five, including the four great nations and Amegakure.

The extended battle lines became too much for Konoha to handle.

The Third Hokage had no choice but to send the Uchiha clan to the battlefield as well.

However, the Third Hokage played a trick, only sending the Uchiha clan leader, a neutral faction, and pro-Konoha ninjas to the battlefield.

All the hawkish ninjas within the Uchiha clan who were unfriendly to Konoha and Hiruzen Sarutobi were kept within the clan and prevented from going to the battlefield.

Although these people were angry, it was to no avail.

With the neutral and pro-democracy factions joining forces under the leadership of the clan chief, the minority submits to the majority, the hawks defend the home, and the neutral and pro-democracy factions go to the battlefield. The decision has been made and cannot be changed.

With the participation of the Uchiha clan and the support of other ninja clans, the Third Hokage was confident that they could get through this most difficult period.

Because of the Third Tsuchikage's surprise attack, the Third Raikage returned.

The Third Hokage didn't need to go to the northern border; he remained in Konoha to oversee the overall situation.

this day.

noon.

During his lunch break, the Third Hokage was enjoying the milk sleep service provided by Hokage's secretary, Chiba Megumi, when an urgent knocking sounded at the door.

"Come in."

The Third Hokage straightened his expression and quickly left the milk service. At that moment, the Hokage's secretary, Chiba Megumi, also straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes, took a black notebook, and stood a step behind the Third Hokage on his right, wearing large black-rimmed glasses.

"Lord Hokage."

The person who pushed open the door was a ninja from the Sarutobi clan, who was also a member of the Third Hokage's ANBU guard, responsible for protecting his son and relaying information to him.

At that moment, the Sarutobi clan's ANBU ninja entered and immediately said to the Third Hokage, "Lord Tenshu has woken up and says he wants to see you... right away."

call out!

Before the Dark Guard could finish speaking, the Third Generation, worried about his son's safety, had already disappeared from the office, using the Body Flicker Technique to rush to his secret room at home.

Inside the secret room, Sarutobi Tenjuchi lay on the bed, while his wife, Sarutobi Ayase, gently wiped the sweat from his body with a wrung-out, hot, damp cloth.

Looking at his wife, whose face was expressionless and who looked like a walking corpse, even though she had become a limp body and had a desperate thought of ending it all, Sarutobi Tensuke still felt heartache for her.

He knew that his wife had become like Li Yao, her body and mind filled with his image, and hatred had become her hope for survival.

The only way to quickly free his wife from the torment of endless hatred is... to kill Li Yao as soon as possible.

"Heavenly Pillar!"

Soon, the third generation returned to the secret room. When he came in and saw that his son had woken up, a huge weight was lifted from his heart. As long as he was alive, there was still hope.

The ninja world is full of strange and wonderful ninjutsu, including ninjutsu such as possession and immortality, as well as secret ninjutsu that can restore the body and limbs.

At least the Wood Release cells can restore the son's body to its normal state.

He has now restarted the research project to recreate Wood Release.

With Li Yao's successful example as an example, he will definitely be able to perfectly transplant the First Hokage's Wood Release cells to his son for fusion, helping him to restore his healthy body.

"Father, quick, go kill Li Yao!"

On the bed, seeing the Third Hokage appear, Sarutobi Tensuke, who had lost both hands and three legs and was unable to turn over or move, squinted at his father and shouted loudly with a ferocious expression.

Seeing his son trying to turn over but only able to squint at him, the third generation's eyes instantly welled up with tears, but they were quickly burned away by the flames of anger.

Li Yao!!

That damn Li Yao!!

Suppressing the anger that was about to explode within him, the third generation quickly walked up to his son, making sure that his son would stop looking at him sideways.
