Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 142 Is it really Uchiha Madara? It's over, this world is finished!

Are they going to separate us?

On the other side of the battlefield, Hikari realized that she had been separated from Haori and the others by Iwagakure, and she found it somewhat amusing.

Does doing this really make sense?

However, she wouldn't engage these enemies; instead, she simply followed along and continued to deliver heavy blows to these Iwa ninja.

She never showed any mercy to her enemies; the memories of the Warring States period, no matter how much she loathed them, were etched into her soul.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Boiling Release: Mist!"

However, after they had spread out far enough, she suddenly noticed that the Iwa ninjas were quickly dispersing, and then two ninjutsu attacks were coming at her.

"Would you like to order separately?"

As soon as she uttered the words to herself, a slightly golden chakra suddenly appeared on her body.

Having obtained so many tailed beasts and spent three years, Hikaru has naturally completed the 'color adjustment'.

However, to be on the safe side and at least ensure that Yui's identity wouldn't be exposed, she still used Amaterasu Flame to cover Susanoo!

Sizzle, sizzle—

Thick fog and water dragons carrying heat slammed heavily into the light, but just as the Susanoo on the light's body let out a roar.

The two techniques couldn't even touch her before they were completely eroded and evaporated by the Amaterasu Flame!

Hikaru didn't know what Uchiha Izuna's personality was like, but in her opinion, the Uchiha Madara played by Haori had some personality problems.

Things that could be resolved quickly are instead handled like a cat playing with a mouse, gradually breaking someone's mentality down before finally taking drastic measures.

She prefers to strike directly and decisively, rather than waste any words with you!

"Although Hagoromo also likes to talk nonsense, at least he doesn't ramble when he takes action."

As she was thinking this, two figures appeared in front of her.

One of the two was dressed in full red armor, while the other wore a long robe with a black background and red clouds, and he also had a huge ninja sword in his hand.

"Oh, I'm pretty lucky."

She completely ignored the guy wielding the giant ninja sword. She knew that person was Juzo Biwa, after all, she had been to the Land of Rain several times, so it was impossible for her not to recognize him.

Her attention was focused on another person, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!

"You actually came running up to me. I don't know whether to say you have commendable courage or that you're just desperate to die."

"None of you are leaving here!"

Han said coldly. He knew perfectly well that these people wanted to capture him, but as a ninja, he was not afraid.

If Onoki were here, he would probably be stuck in the back, but now that Onoki has joined the battle, no one cares about him anymore.

"I understand, it seems you're looking for death."

Guang nodded slightly, her tone remaining extremely calm.

"Then I'll give you a ride."

"Don't underestimate us! You're all going to die today!"

Han's gaze was icy. He had heard about Old Purple before, but as a ninja, he still needed to maintain enough confidence.

He also wanted to see what kind of power these guys possessed.

He didn't notice that Pipa Juzo, who was standing next to him, hadn't said a word the whole time, and his eyes were even a little unfocused.

This guy hasn't forgotten what happened three years ago. He's cursing his bad luck for bumping into this guy.

"Yeah?"

Guang tilted her head slightly, and then spoke as if casually.

"Then you might as well die."

As soon as the words were spoken, both Han and Pipa Juzo felt a constant sense of oppression surrounding them!

The next instant, pitch-black flames appeared before their eyes.

"I knew it."

Juzo Biwa cursed inwardly, but fortunately he was prepared. Almost instantly, with the chakra from the black flames, he turned into a puddle of water and fell to the ground.

He had long since mastered the art of combining water clones with the Substitute Technique!

"Oh!"

Han, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat prepared. As soon as he sensed the danger, he covered his entire body with the chakra of the tailed beast.

He leaped up, looking at the burning flames on his body, and the chakra belonging to the tailed beast automatically fell off.

However, he still felt a sharp pain all over his body. How could the Amaterasu Fire be anything simple?

"Boiling Release: Steam Armor!"

The moment he broke free from the Amaterasu Flame, Han didn't stop for a moment; his chakra surged throughout his body.

A powerful surge of steam, accompanied by the chakra of the tailed beast, reappeared, and he charged towards the light!

His speed became incredibly fast with the help of steam, and his power was greatly enhanced by the tailed beast chakra.

"what!"

He roared and then kicked the light Susanoo hard.

It was the power that had once kicked away Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode in the original work, even if it was only a hasty kick at this moment.

But at the very moment that kick landed hard on Susanoo, almost visible to the naked eye, dense cracks appeared on Susanoo, resembling a spider web!

Even light, under such force, involuntarily took a step back.

However, Guang remained calm, and even Han, who was attacking while wearing a mask, could sense his composure.

"Is that all?"

Even Guang asked a question with a leisurely air, then with a burst of chakra, Han's figure flew backward rapidly.

He landed heavily on the ground, cracking the surface, and his posture looked particularly strange.

"It must feel terrible to have a broken leg."

As she watched the Amaterasu Flame detach from Han's body once again, she gently shook her head.

"Even if you can recover, how long can you hold on?"

You'd be better off learning from that loquat boy next to you; at least he'd suffer less.

"snort!"

Han didn't speak; he continued to gather chakra.

"It seems you've made up your mind, then..."

Guang shook her head, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

boom--

In that instant, the earth began to tremble violently, and a suffocating and unsettling chakra spread almost throughout the entire forest!

The ferocious power was awe-inspiring, followed by terrifying howls and ear-piercing roars that echoed throughout the forest.

"Is the haori starting to get serious?"

Hikari frowned slightly, but just as she was pondering, Han and Pipa Juzo moved at the same time!

"Perfect opportunity, take her down!"

They were all elite ninjas, so they immediately noticed that Guang was distracted and seized this rare opportunity to launch an attack.

"Since we've already taken it seriously..."

In that instant, Guang's eyes regained their clarity, and as she looked at the two rapidly approaching figures, a cold smile appeared on her face beneath the mask.

"It's time to end here!"

hum-

A suffocating chakra began to ripple through her body, and in the blink of an eye, the Susanoo on her body, stained with Amaterasu's flames, quietly grew larger.

Although it lacks a half-body, heavy armor still covers Susanoo's body.

"goodbye."

The sword was drawn and swung, its ultimate power emitting a hiss at that moment!

At that very moment, the world suddenly darkened, and an extreme force seemed to tear the sky apart.

Moreover, Guang keenly sensed that the ground beneath their feet seemed to be moving strangely—

"Is the battle between the seniors almost over?"

On the other side of the battlefield, Shisui, slightly out of breath, sensed the roaring chakra and the constant tremors from the earth, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Although he hadn't seen any concrete results, he believed that once Hagoromo or Hikaru started using such power, the battle wouldn't be far from over!

"I need to step up my efforts too."

Shisui took a deep breath and looked at the masked lunatic in front of him. He was no stranger to this guy.

Although he had never personally fought this guy, he was well aware of his situation.

It's fair to say that this guy is practically flawless in some respects.

The power of that kind of spatial magic is such that even if you know it has weaknesses, you always have the illusion that it is difficult to break or even know where to start.

Fortunately, Shisui had anticipated this situation and had consulted with Haori and Hikaru about how to deal with it.

However, the answers he received seemed inconsistent; one suggested using illusion magic directly, while another advised confronting the opponent's hand.

"Just use them together, no matter which one you choose; there will always be opportunities."

Shisui muttered to himself, and by then his breathing had returned to normal.

"The recovery speed is quite fast, but I'm curious about something."

Obito had no idea what Shisui was thinking. He also noticed the unusual atmosphere around him, but he didn't pay it any mind. He stared at Shisui and asked.

"Who exactly are you people, and what is your purpose in coming here?"

"Our goal has always been clear: to become the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Aren't you getting in the way a bit too much?"

Shisui recalled the information that Yuri had given him, and then recalled the general tone of his grandfather's voice.

After thinking about the 'villain's' words again, he finally spoke in such a cold tone.

"It's you brat who's back and getting in our way that's a bit of a surprise. Looks like the lesson we learned before wasn't enough."

Shisui didn't know what the lesson from three years ago was, but that didn't stop him from saying it.

"Damn it!"

Obito cursed angrily, as if his sore spot had been hit, and looked at Shisui in front of him and whispered.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll send you on your way. Your eyes are mine now!"

Obito cursed and charged forward instantly, stretching out his hand as countless thorns spread across his arm.

These are some of Obito's achievements over the past three years, and his growth over these three years is far more than just this!

"Wood Release?"

Shisui was extremely cautious. His eyes darted around rapidly, and at the same time, his hands quickly formed hand seals.

"Ninja Art: Phantom Body Flicker Technique".

With a slight turn of his Sharingan, he instantly created several figures, which quickly dispersed and then swarmed towards Obito.

huh, huh, huh-

As he sprinted forward, Shisui pulled out a kunai and shot it at Obito, and at the same time, he couldn't help but form hand seals again.

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

"A trivial skill."

Obito let out a cold snort, and without dodging or flinching, he charged straight at the kunai.

These densely packed kunai pierced through his body without posing any obstacle to him.

The thorns in his hand swept out, and he didn't care whether the still water around him was an illusion or the real thing, he swept it all away!

"Um?"

However, to Obito's surprise, he discovered that all his attacks had missed, and that the figures that the guy in front of him had created were all fake.

"Where is the real body?"

Obito pondered to himself, not paying too much attention to the attacks from the phantoms around him.

However, the next moment, when he clearly felt the sound of something cutting through the air coming from all directions, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead!

"Wait, is it all true?"

hum-

With a series of sounds, Shisui's short sword slashed across his body. If Obito hadn't entered Kamui quickly enough, he would have been hit!

"What's going on? How can it all be real? Is it a Body Flicker Technique or an illusion? And why does this move look so familiar?"

Obito's mind raced, but he didn't stop there. He snorted and his chakra surged.

boom--

Surrounding him, towering trees instantly sprang up from the ground and swept wildly towards Zhishui!

"Tch, this Wood Release technique."

Such a large-scale and wide-ranging Wood Release technique made Shisui dare not continue his attack, especially since he was not Obito and naturally did not have the ability of Kamui.

His clones are a combination of illusion and teleportation techniques; they are not truly without a physical form.

However, his speed was outrageous. In the blink of an eye, he escaped the area surrounded by Wood Release and landed on the outer edge.

"It seems to be a combination of illusion and teleportation."

The moment Shisui withdrew, Obito's figure slowly rose from the vines, coldly staring at Shisui.

"But I seem to have seen this ability before. Uchiha Shisui from Konoha Village had a similar ability. You wouldn't happen to be Uchiha Shisui, would you?"

"."

Shisui was genuinely startled by Obito's words, but he managed to remain calm and composed despite wearing a mask.

He doesn't like lying, but as a ninja, sometimes acting skills are still necessary; otherwise, how can he disguise himself as an enemy to obtain information?

"Still water."

Shisui quickly adopted his grandfather's emotions, while secretly gathering chakra.

"I heard that kid seems to be doing quite well here, and from what you've said, he seems to have mastered my abilities quite well as well, which makes me quite relieved."

"The tone he used when looking at a junior suggests they have similar abilities."

Obito was also a little confused. If he hadn't seen Shisui before and knew that kid's chakra aura, he would have really thought that the person in front of him was him.

There might be a way to change the aura of chakra, but Obito was too lazy to think about it now. According to traditional logic, he seemed to have figured out the identity of the person in front of him.

"You're not Uchiha Kagami, are you?"

"Whether it is or not, who knows, who can say for sure?"

Shisui gently shook his head. He had already figured out the battle plan in his mind, and he knew what to do next.

Boom, boom, boom—

The earth was shaking violently, and a destructive force was spreading rampantly.

Shisui looked at Obito, his eyes flickered slightly, and in an instant, a surge of orange chakra gathered around him!

"But you're still as repulsive as ever, and this time I won't hold back."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the orange figure reached the third stage.

Covered in armor, the Tengu's mask was so ferocious, and hidden inside was the fusion of dragon veins and tailed beast chakra.

These past three years at Zhishui have been anything but wasted!

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

Obito snorted coldly upon seeing the Susanoo appear, and immediately used Wood Release to continue his attack.

"Susanoo: Yasaka no Magatama".

Shisui's Susanoo did not draw his sword; he merely turned his eyes slightly, and in an instant, light emanated from Susanoo's chest.

A series of 'magatama' formed from Yin Release chakra appeared in his hand. In the next instant, these magatama spun rapidly and crashed hard into the Wood Release entanglements that were coming towards him!

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

A series of deafening roars rose and fell, and huge plumes of smoke and dust billowed upwards.

Under this series of explosions, Obito's Wood Release technique could not advance an inch and was blocked at the outer edge.

Obito remained standing amidst the explosion, coldly watching the attack launched by the giant Susanoo.

"That's a really strong defense, but..."

In an instant, Obito's figure moved slightly, his whole body became extremely distorted, and then he disappeared into Shisui's Susanoo!

"Defense starts from within, you know?"

The moment he spoke, Obito's hand stabbed fiercely towards Shisui, and a terrifying Wood Release technique was already brewing in his hand.

"I've been waiting for you, you know that?"

However, Shisui only tilted his head slightly, and at that moment his eyes met Obito's completely.

"Kotoamatsukami: Radiance!"

hum-

A bizarre burst of Yin Release chakra erupted wildly, and the extreme power spread so far that Obito was momentarily stunned!

Sa—

With a swift swing of his short sword, Shisui severed Obito's arm, which was preparing to unleash Wood Release, severing it from any further threat.

Meanwhile, his eyes were spinning wildly, and he was wearing colored contact lenses that had taken him three years to modify and create, completely unafraid of being noticed.

Besides, it's too late for Obito to realize it now!

"here it is"

Obito was only slightly distracted before he was instantly transported into a bizarre illusionary space.

Everything here is pitch black.

Only the red full moon in the sky was slowly rotating in the shape of the Sharingan, and he could no longer see anything else.

"Another illusion?"

Obito was filled with a mixture of shock and anger, as if recalling the scene from many years ago when he was taught a lesson by Uchiha Akira.

What terrified him even more was that he seemed to sense that this illusion space was even more solid than Uchiha Hotaru's!

"Within this space, I can control everything."

Just then, a voice rang out, and looking up, I saw a figure standing proudly in mid-air under the crimson moonlight.

He was completely dark, so his appearance was not visible at all, but his blood-red eyes were so unsettling.

"Damn it!"

Obito cursed loudly, and his Mangekyou Sharingan began to operate at full power, but Shisui simply shook his head slightly.

"There's no need to struggle. Your fate is sealed. No power can withstand this illusion."

At this point, the whole world seemed to burst into flames, and Obito knelt on the ground, clutching his head in agony!

"This flame represents your spiritual energy, meaning your spirit is currently burning."

And when the flames die down, your life will end; go in peace.

As Obito howled, the flames grew ever stronger, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​fire at that moment!

"it's over……"

Shisui murmured something, and then his figure began to slowly fade away. Just then, he suddenly frowned.

He noticed that the flames burning around him seemed to have become illusory.

"What happened?"

Shisui's expression was somewhat strange, but he didn't have time to think about it. In an instant, he noticed that the outside world seemed to have undergone a huge change.

A power, condensed to its absolute limit and seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, suddenly erupted—

The power of the fifth stage Susanoo, frankly speaking, has basically reached the limits of human capability.

Although human limits are still divided into different levels, such as Sasuke, Madara, and Hashirama Senju, all three of them have reached their limits.

But no one would have thought that Sasuke could defeat Madara, and Madara was even more terrified by Hashirama's attack.

Just like Yuri now, although he has also reached this limit, he even has the support of the Dragon Vein Chakra and the power of the Tailed Beast.

However, if he were to actually confront Hashirama at his peak, he would probably choose to fight and retreat.

But Hashirama Senju is Hashirama Senju, and the person Haori encountered was not Hashirama Senju!

hum-

The long sword was suddenly swung out in an instant, and in that instant, the whole world seemed to fall into chaos.

The blade flashed, and the earth groaned. Onoki Kirishin lowered his head almost instinctively.

At that moment, however, a massive cloud of smoke had already covered everything.

Perhaps because of the different way they drew their swords, a winding canyon of unknown depth appeared beneath the feet of Onoki and his companions, stretching into the distance as if its end were nowhere in sight.

Along the way, countless landslides occurred, with endless rubble falling from the ground and crashing into the deep ravine!

"Can someone who's reached this level even be considered human?"

Orochimaru stared blankly at the canyon that resembled an abyss, his mind replaying the question.

Nagato, who was in the distance, no longer used Pain's gaze to look at the Susanoo. He was lucky; he was not in the trajectory of Susanoo's attack.

He raised his head and gazed at the giant in the distance; at that moment, he had made up his mind completely.

Run, this mission from Iwagakure has far exceeded expectations, and he will absolutely not gamble everything of the Akatsuki on this.

At the same time, he also needs to obtain more white solvent in the future, and he absolutely will not allow this to happen again!

"Is Madara Uchiha really still alive?"

Kakuzu was a monster who had lived for countless years. When he looked at the Susanoo in front of him, whose color was wrong but whose power was by no means weak, he couldn't help but tremble.

Soon, his gaze turned angrily to Onoki beside him. What kind of opponent had that damned bastard found for them?

"It really is him. This world is finished."

Onoki's eyes were also glazed over; he was truly terrified by such world-destroying power!

In the original story, when facing the fifth stage of Susanoo, the five Kage, including him, were already on the verge of collapse.

However, Madara Uchiha's Edo Tensei was suddenly broken, and he got tired of playing with them and didn't bother with them anymore, which allowed them to recover.

But now the Uchiha shows no sign of stopping, how can Onoki bear it?

"What kind of expressions are those?"

Yuri stood quietly atop Susanoo's head, arms crossed, looking down at the five people below, pondering how to end this situation.

It's gotten this far; continuing like this would be inappropriate.

Although he wanted to unite the entire ninja world, there was a prerequisite: that he himself, as the "Hokage," was doing it.

He didn't want to give it away as a wedding favor.

Moreover, even if this credit were given to Minato, would Minato accept it under the influence of Jiraiya and the Third Hokage?

That's obviously impossible.

Even if Minato had ideas, he wasn't prepared, and he was also worried about the opinions and thoughts of other villages.

"Ugh."

As Yuu sighed at this thought, he couldn't help but curse Hashirama Senju in his heart.

"It's all that idiot's fault, is he out of his mind or what?"

After experiencing the fifth stage of Susanoo, Hagoromo realized that it wouldn't be difficult for the "God of the Ninja World" and the "Shura of the Ninja World" to subdue all the villages if they really wanted to.

As a result, Hashirama Senju stopped, which not only sowed the seeds of war but also made the subsequent subjugation work extremely difficult.

Even if a haori wanted to make one, there would be many things to consider.

One is culture, and the other is people's hearts.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about the problem.

These thoughts, though numerous and chaotic, only passed through his mind in an instant.

"My battles with you are nothing but child's play. If we wait a few more years, Orochimaru might be able to please me."

After all, you have a very good skill, but it seems you haven't learned it yet.

Alright, enough chit-chat, it's time for you to hit the road!

The chakra sword was raised high, and that destructive power was once again gathered.

Just as he was about to strike, the space around Onoki and the others suddenly distorted.

Obito suddenly appeared, grabbed the silent Pain with one hand, and then shouted.

"Come with me!"

Although Pain, Orochimaru, and the others were stunned by the attack, they reacted with lightning speed at this moment.

They didn't bother to ask Obito why he was missing an arm, and quickly placed their hands on him.

Onoki seemed to have sobered up a bit by now. Without hesitation, he leaped up and transformed into a streak of light, rushing madly into the distance!

However, at that very moment, the fluctuations of dragon vein chakra suddenly appeared in the distance, and the Flying Thunder God mark on the haori also began to faintly resonate.

"That's really the right time."

Yuri muttered something under her breath, but the next instant, Susanoo's long sword still fell heavily.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to be facing its end once again.

"Damn Onoki, you damned old man!"

Inside a cave within the Land of Rain.

The space just spun slightly, and in the next instant, several figures appeared. However, the moment they appeared, Kakuzu began to curse loudly.

Kakuzu really couldn't hold back anymore. He was indeed a bounty hunter, he was indeed greedy, and he was indeed challenging those he considered his missions.

However, one must consider the goal when seeking wealth. This time, Onoki has really screwed them over!

Madara Uchiha! That's Madara Uchiha!

Even if Kakuzu dared to attack the First Hokage back then, it was out of 'youthful ignorance'.

Although he wasn't thrown a kunai from a hundred meters away, he was still instantly killed in one move. It was only because Hashirama Senju was kind-hearted that he let him go.

Later, when he left Takigakure and wandered the ninja world, he truly witnessed the power of the ninja god and the ninja demon!

That kind of power can truly break a person's spirit.

He originally thought that he had outlasted the two of them, which could be considered a victory, but he never expected that he would suddenly see that power again today.

Even if the color is wrong, that attitude and that power, especially that power, are something that ordinary people simply cannot imitate!

"Uchiha Madara?"

Orochimaru couldn't help but murmur to himself. He and Sasori exchanged a glance, and then they both looked at Obito.

At this moment, Pain's gaze also turned over. His main body had been taken away long ago, so he could control Pain in the Land of Rain.

He hadn't forgotten that this guy called himself Uchiha Madara!

When Obito saw the looks in these people's eyes, he suddenly regretted it. He thought it would have been better if these people had just died in the Land of Grass.

"Some things are very complicated and very difficult to explain."

After hesitating for a moment, Obito finally had no choice but to speak up. If he didn't make things clear, these people probably wouldn't let him off the hook.

Moreover, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "How the hell did Madara Uchiha show up?"

He had seen Madara Uchiha in person, that sickly old man who looked like he was about to die at any moment, how could he possibly possess such power?

That kind of power was so exaggerated that he still finds it shocking.

Perhaps the only thing that gave him some comfort was the fact that his divine power might not be afraid.

Obito glanced at his arm and fell silent. Kamui didn't seem safe either!

"We're not afraid of trouble. All we want to know is what you know and who you really are."

Nagato controlled Pain's cold voice. What he really wanted to ask was not Obito's identity. To him, this Obito was an imposter, and whether he knew or not was meaningless.

What he wants to know now is who the real person is; that's the most important thing.

"I am Uchiha Madara, and that will never change."

Obito gritted his teeth and finally said in a low voice.

His words made everyone present frown. Although this guy was particularly troublesome, compared to the one who had just slaughtered everyone, did he even deserve to be called Uchiha Madara?

However, at this moment, Obito spoke again.

"However, I inherited everything from Uchiha Madara: his name, his knowledge, and even his power!"

"So I am Uchiha Madara, there's no need to discuss that excessively. As for that guy..."

"They're not from this world at all. They simply used the power of the dragon vein to travel through time and space, even across worlds, to get here!"

"It's not just him, it's all the same, now you know?"

After saying this, Obito closed his eyes wearily; he was truly exhausted.

Shisui's frenzied burning of his spiritual energy nearly cost him his life; if he hadn't decisively used Izanagi...

They took advantage of the lull in his 'death' to escape, and now he is truly dead.

However, the burning of mental energy cannot be replenished, and he doesn't know how long he will need to rest to make up for it.

"So, that's why Madara Uchiha's Susanoo is a different color?"

After an unknown amount of time, Kakuzu finally spoke softly.

"I remember it was originally blue, but what do you mean by them not staying long?"

"I had contact with one of their people with Scorpion, and it seems that once they reach a 'critical point,' they will leave this place."

Orochimaru licked his lips, appearing relatively calm, after all, he had encountered a similar situation three years ago.

Now, Obito's words confirmed his suspicions, making him even more curious about his future self.

In addition, he also needs to find suitable materials for the Impure World Reincarnation.

The only one who could deal with Madara Uchiha was Hashirama Senju.

"Are they people who don't belong to this world?"

Nagato couldn't help but mutter to himself, but his expression quickly turned grim.

"What does that guy know? And why does he know my eyes so well? Is it something that happened in the future or some other world?"

At this moment, Nagato couldn't help but let his mind wander, but he knew that he wanted to change everything, or to know everything.

He really needs to recover his physical health first, because only by gaining power can he raise questions or solve problems!

"Uchiha Madara?"

With a deep sigh, Nagato glanced at Konan, who was standing beside him with worry, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Perhaps, this is what God should be like."

-

"It's over. Looks like we can head back now."

Inside the forest, after watching Hikaru seal the Five-Tails' chakra, Hagoromo smiled and said something.

"Are you both alright?"

"Of course I'm fine. But you, aren't you being a bit too high-profile?"

Hikaru handed the scroll to Haori, then gave a soft hum and asked a question.

The transformation of the haori into the fifth stage of Susanoo was truly the most high-profile ever. The display of such power not only instilled fear in people's hearts but also made them yearn for it.

At least Hikari didn't seem to have much fear of such power, perhaps because she knew that the person wielding this power was Haori.

Her only worry was whether Yuzhi would be able to use this power again later and whether anyone would notice.

"Don't worry, my personality is different from Madara Uchiha's. Besides, all that disguise we did wasn't for nothing."

Yuzhi smiled and shook his head. He took the scroll and put it away casually before continuing.

"It seems that the problem here has been basically resolved. The Iwagakure forces have collapsed, and peace is just around the corner."

Although she didn't go to see the casualties in Iwagakure, Hagoromo could roughly guess how bad things were there.

After all, his strike avoided both Hikari and Shisui, but not the Iwa ninja!

He himself dared not imagine what would happen if he were directly enveloped by such power, but then he thought of what Madara said in the original work.

Those who have witnessed the fifth stage of Susanoo, except for Hashirama, all died, which gives you an idea of ​​the destructive power of this force.

"It's just that the consumption is quite high. If it weren't for the Eternal Eye and the fact that my body has been enhanced by bloodline, White Zetsu, and Glorious Evolution, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on even with the Eternal Eye."

God knows, is this fifth Susanoo exclusive to Indra and his chakra reincarnation? Using it with the haori feels like a flood of chakra being released.

"Alright, let's go."

Yuzhi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he was using it without any problems, and he believed that things would get better and better in the future as he honed and improved his Eternal Eye.

He glanced at Guang and Shishui, then smiled and asked a question.

"Or perhaps you want to see the devastation on the Iwagakure side?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested."

Hikaru shook his head, while Shisui remained silent for a moment before asking curiously.

"Senior, after this experience I have a better understanding of our power. Actually, I have a question I'm very curious about."

Why would a senior with such power hide it? And why didn't they just use that power to unify the ninja world?

Shisui's question was rather sharp, and even Hikaru looked at Haori with curiosity at this moment.

Upon hearing this question, Yu Zhi smiled and then slowly began to speak.

"Because of human nature."

It was also because of culture, everything he had been taught in his previous life.

Furthermore, the waters of the ninja world are incredibly deep.

Yuzhi silently thought to herself that Shisui's problem was not complicated at all, and Yuzhi herself had even thought about it.

Therefore, Yuzhi didn't find the answer particularly difficult.

"Actually, conquering the entire ninja world might not be that difficult for us right now."

"But what will you do after you conquer it?"

"The best opportunity to conquer the ninja world was during the time of the First Hokage, but he did not do so, which led to the current situation of various small countries and five major ninja villages."

"They have developed different cultures and have different histories, and it is extremely difficult to eliminate all of this."

"What would happen if we used the most brutal methods?"

What would happen after the conquest was a question that neither Shisui nor Hikaru had carefully considered.

This left both of them looking bewildered; they realized that unifying the ninja world was no easy task after all.

However, they knew that if they did it in the most brutal way, the entire ninja world would probably be in turmoil.

"It's a common human flaw that people fear the strong, but they also loathe living in the shadow of fear."

Haori walked over, took Hikari's hand with one hand, and put her other hand on Shisui's shoulder.

"Ruthless suppression and cold-blooded treatment will arouse people's instinct to resist, just like what I did to the Uchiha."

"If I had only used overwhelming power to oppress them from the beginning, would the Uchiha clan be so united and working together as one now?"

"Obviously not. A family that has lost its vitality and is filled with numbness is tragic, and they must be constantly on guard against someone rebelling."

"Similarly, the same applies to a numb ninja world."

"Therefore, after conquering them, how to achieve cultural integration, how to gain everyone's approval, and how to form cultural acceptance in the most efficient way are not things we can do now."

"Conquering is easy, but protecting is the biggest challenge. Given our current status, what do you think we can do?"

At this point, Hagoromo paused for a moment, and his chakra began to subtly activate.

Besides, he hadn't told Shisui and Hikaru that they might have to deal with aliens in the future, a group of numb people who were even betraying them all the time.

It's hard to say whether they'll become traitors in the future, which is not what Yuzhi wants.

"I was so foolish, senior."

Shisui lowered her head in shame, while Hikari winked at Haori, sensing that Haori was truly concerned about this matter.

It would be better if it weren't so perverted.

"Alright, let's go."

Yuri smiled; he sensed that some survivors of the Iwa ninja were searching for him.

"No matter what, we can see the future we want."

-

"That's really tragic."

In the forest, the Third Hokage was leading a group of Konoha ninjas on a cautious exploration, hoping to find any valuable targets from Iwagakure.

When they saw a beam of light appear in the sky, and then those people disappeared without a trace, which met the criteria for "leaving" that Jiraiya had once mentioned.

The third generation leader arrived quietly with his men. In fact, they were quite worried. If they really encountered them, it would be terrible!

But seeing the dead and wounded Iwa ninja everywhere, all the Konoha ninja couldn't help but gasp.

They could never have imagined that a person's destructive power could reach this level!

The Third Hokage was also shocked, but when he saw the large group of miserable Iwa ninja, he couldn't help but smile again.

"Good riddance! Serves you right for daring to cause trouble for Konoha!"

The Third Hokage was overjoyed. Before the battle even started, Iwagakure had been utterly defeated. How could he not be happy about such a good thing?

"Is that really Madara Uchiha? That's amazing!"

However, as they walked towards Iwagakure's original position, the smile on the Third Hokage's face slowly began to fade.

A feeling of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death" began to brew in his heart. Just imagine, if that guy could strike hard against Iwagakure, would he do the same against Konoha?

As they ventured deeper into the land, gazing upon the crumbling earth and especially at the abyss-like chasm, all the Konoha ninja stopped in their tracks.

The Third Hokage's expression also became somewhat solemn and blank. He wondered what would happen if such an attack landed on Konoha.

"this"

The Third Hokage couldn't help but compare the power of the haori with that of "Uchiha Madara" just now, and at that moment he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Yuri hasn't fully matured yet. Even though she's already very strong, the gap between her and Uchiha Madara is still enormous!

If what he fears actually happens, then...

At this moment, the Third Generation dared not think any further. He suddenly had a thought that even he himself found self-deceptive.

"Please don't let it really be Uchiha Madara."

If it really is Madara Uchiha, then this world is truly doomed.
