Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 477 Good evening, Third Hokage

"No matter what your answer is in three days, all of us Sand Ninja will retreat back to the Land of Wind within these three days."

So confident... Hearing Yekura's words, Orochimaru's heart tightened. The Sand Ninja were fearless and not afraid that Konoha would not agree to a ceasefire.

What are their trump cards?

Orochimaru was puzzled, but he didn't voice it.

Yekura turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and turned to Orochimaru's Wood Release clone, chuckling, "Actually, I'd love to see Konoha disagree with the decision to cease hostilities."

If they disagree, that bastard brother-in-law will make a move, and at that time, Konoha will feel the despair inflicted upon them by the strongest Kazekage in the history of Sunagakure.

Yecang is looking forward to the day when her brother-in-law will personally take action.

"What do you mean?"

Watching the woman fly away, Orochimaru had no idea what Pakura was thinking.

However, he understood that the Sand Ninja must still have some trump cards up their sleeves, and once they were revealed, they could take his life.

Otherwise, Yekura wouldn't be so confident.

Back at his original body, the Wood Release clone told Orochimaru everything that had happened.

"I hope that old man, the teacher, doesn't make the wrong decision!"

Having learned the contents of the conversation from his Wood Release clone, Orochimaru could only hope that his teacher, the Third Hokage, could see the current situation clearly.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was unaware that his teacher, the Third Hokage, had already decided to expand and prolong the war in order to protect his power.

Moreover, the relevant orders are on their way.

……

Leaf.

After a busy day, the Third Hokage suddenly remembered something and instead of heading home, he went to the Anbu base.

Meanwhile, Li Yao, who had spent the entire day training with Shinobu at the Minato residence but hadn't seen Minato return, sighed inwardly.

"I'll have to wait until next time!"

Minato was so engrossed in his mission that he didn't come back to see him and Shinjiro riding the carousel, which Li Yao found a bit of a pity.

Fortunately, there's still plenty of time; we'll eventually see the water gate return.

"I'm leaving now!"

After perfectly transforming into Minato, Li Yao told Shinji Nai that he was going to do a mission, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

"call!"

Upon seeing this, Xin Jiuna breathed a sigh of relief, and the last trace of unease in her heart was completely dispelled.

Ok!

I'd say it's alright!

In the entire ninja world, only Minato was able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even if there truly were a perfect transformation technique that made it impossible for anyone to tell the difference between reality and illusion.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique is a unique ninjutsu of Minato, and it is a ninjutsu that no one can copy.

So, today's people are indeed from the Water Gate.

"I wonder if I'll be able to get pregnant this time?"

Xin Jiunai suddenly touched her swollen belly, went back to lie down on the sofa, smelled the lingering scent of love in the air, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

She had told Minato that she wanted a child, but Minato always said it wasn't convenient during the war and that they should wait until after the war was over.

I never expected that Minato would be such a completely different person today.

"Hmm... Could that be the side effect, or rather, the powerful aspect, of the Perfect Transformation Technique?"

Shin-Kyuna's eyes lit up as she suddenly had an idea.

The reason why Minato is acting so strangely and completely like a different person today is probably due to the effect of the perfect transformation technique he developed.

Perfect Transformation!

Since it has the name of perfection.

Not only have their chakra and physical information completely changed, but even their daily tone of voice and thought process have become those of a different person.

Only in this way can the perfect transformation technique deceive everyone and be worthy of the name "perfect transformation technique".

"If that's the case, then we'll have to make Minato use the Perfect Transformation Jutsu more often in the future!"

……

"Good evening, Third Hokage!"

In the familiar secret room of the Dark Side base, the Third Hokage woke up in bed, opened his blurry eyes, and heard a familiar voice that seemed to have been absent from his ears for a long time.

Li Yao stood by the bed, head bowed, smiling at the Third Generation.

"You...I...um!"

The Third Hokage, whose memories had just been unsealed, was a little confused. Looking at Li Yao, he didn't recognize him because he hadn't received the memories immediately. Instead, he thought Li Yao was an enemy because he was unfamiliar with him, and he wanted to jump away instantly.

But the tightness he felt throughout his body made him realize instantly that he was being tied up.

Who are you?

The Third Hokage yelled, his body instinctively trying to unleash his chakra to break free of the restraints, only to discover that his chakra had also been sealed.

At that moment... the unsealed memories suddenly flooded into the Third Generation's mind.

A minute later, the third generation's brain finally fully received the sealed memory.

"ah!!!!"

"Li Yao!!!"

"Ah... I'm going to kill you!!"

"what……"

Receiving the Third Hokage's restored memories was like reliving all the torment he suffered the night before and the entire process of his wife unleashing white chakra with Li Yao right before his eyes.

The surge of anger, fear, humiliation, and other emotions in that short moment amplified the Third Generation's emotional senses, making him unable to resist unleashing a torrent of curses at Li Yao.

"Huh... This has this effect even after the memory seal was reopened!!!"

Li Yao didn't care about the Third Generation's angry curses, but he was somewhat surprised to see the Third Generation's strong reaction.

"What's the reason?"

Li Yao began to ponder.

After his memories were sealed in the morning, the Third Hokage seemed to have forgotten some kind of pain and resumed his identity as the Third Hokage of Konoha. He spent the whole day experiencing the power and desires of being the Hokage, and he seemed quite satisfied with his life as the Hokage.

Now that his memories have been unsealed and restored, he is like someone who didn't want to remember the pain of the past, whose memories have been brought back to him, and the pain of the past is once again impacting his heart.

"Past traumas!"

"Memory Shock!"

Li Yao pondered carefully, and the pain transformed into a shock of memories, which should be the key to the abnormality of the three generations.

"Ha ha!"

"Great, this makes it even more fun!"

Li Yao didn't know if his guess was right, but the Third Generation's reaction provided him with another way to torment him.

The human body has a limit to its pain tolerance; once that limit is exceeded, the body will actively block out the pain.

Li Yao felt this deeply.

When the third generation used fine needles to prick his fingernails, he blocked out the pain several times and felt no pain at all.

Unfortunately, this pain shielding means that pain can be felt again once it is disturbed by external forces.

And at that time, the pain that is felt again will be doubled.

If the human body is like this, so too is the human spirit and mind.

After experiencing an extremely cruel and painful event, some people suffer great mental and physical trauma. When this trauma becomes unbearable, they will automatically block out this memory.

Only in this way can this person continue to live like a normal person.

Compared to pain, which is a physical barrier to perception.
