Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

Second Master Qian Shou interrupted their bickering with a dark face. "What the hell is this? Why are you still talking nonsense? Why don't you fight? What's the use of just talking?"

After saying that, he fired a high-pressure water gun at the ever-growing sacred tree in front of him...

1199. Handsome Scorpion: That bastard is so strong

"Grab your weapons and let's go!"

"Kill them!"

Seeing their boss leading the charge, the henchmen around him were immediately emboldened and grabbed their weapons, eagerly following in his footsteps.

Sometimes, that's how it is with friends. When there's a super cool leader in the team, the underlings immediately become more imposing. What's more, this leader is none other than the Second Hokage who just boasted to them about killing a "flawless" ninja.

In no time, everyone rushed to the foot of the divine tree, throwing all sorts of ninjutsu at it without restraint.

"Stop, stop, stop! Beautiful lady, Ebizo, you two are getting on in years, don't get involved in those young people's activities. Just find a chair and watch the show quietly, it wouldn't be good if something happened to you. Karin, keep an eye on your great-grandmother and your great-uncle..."

Seeing that Chiyo and Ebizo were about to rush forward, Masato quickly pulled them back and said to Karin with a pained expression.

These two are so old! They shouldn't have been sent to the battlefield in the first place. They should have stayed in the village instead...

"My great-grandfather has been raped again, I need to go help him...!"

As Shinto drew his Uchiha Greatsword to help chop down the tree, Tsunade ran over and nervously pointed towards Madara's direction.

After all, one of the people being attacked was her own grandfather. If it weren't for protecting her younger brother, she would have rushed up to help... Unfortunately, the level of the players on the field is too high right now, and without her protection, her younger brother would easily be eliminated.

"I know, I know. Your grandpa's practically indestructible. At most, he'll get a few lashes from Uncle Ban. Don't panic..."

Shinto turned around and saw that, good heavens, Senju had been turned into a hedgehog by Madara and was lying motionless on the ground.

The savior isn't much better off; he's been beaten so badly he can't even get up. Only the second male lead with his pants down is left fighting Madara to a standstill...

...

"Idol! To express my admiration for you! And to show my respect for a strong person like you, this sword strike is the culmination of my decades of understanding of the way of the sword! Please accept my sword!"

"Sage Mode activated!"

"Sage Art: One-Sword Style: White Lightning!"

The white-haired father and son, who were frantically chopping down the sacred tree in the distance, slipped and almost fell.

You, Onoki's great-uncle, if you're going to plagiarize, at least change a couple of words, okay?

Ohnoki:? ? ? ? ? ?

A massive, thousand-meter-long sword aura, white with hints of black and red, slashed towards Grandpa Ban.

"hiss!"

"Is that sword energy?! (?Д?)ノ"

"So powerful..."

The crowd that was frantically chopping down the divine tree stopped and looked at the super sword energy that stretched for a thousand meters, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

The second male lead, who was evenly matched with the old man, sensed something and turned around to see a super huge sword aura slashing towards them. The second male lead was also terrified. This was something his ancestral giant could not withstand!

"Hmph! Sage Art: Thousand Hands of the Forest - Top Transformation Buddha!"

The resurrected Madara is now incredibly powerful, even his best friend's ultimate move is effortless for him, and a colossal Thousand-Armed Buddha rises from the ground to meet the super sword energy.

"Boom!"

"What?!"

The super sword aura didn't disappear after cutting down the Super Thousand-Armed Buddha as Madara had imagined. Instead, it cleaved the Super Thousand-Armed Buddha in two and then slashed towards Madara with undiminished momentum.

"Damn it... Ah!"

"boom!"

After the enormous sword cleaved Old Man Ban in two, it didn't stop for a second, forcefully splitting the entire battlefield in two, creating a bottomless chasm in the middle.

"Holy crap! This...this power is absolutely incredible! (｀?Д?′)ゞ"

"The battlefield has been split in two... Siguoyi!"

"Where...Where's Madara Uchiha? I think I saw him get slashed just now. Is he dead?"

"He should be dead... Such a powerful attack would kill even a god..."

"..."

Everyone stared in disbelief at the battlefield after the super sword energy had passed. This sword had actually cleaved the entire battlefield in two! Just how ferocious was it?

As expected, the golden lion did not disappoint them. It was the center of attention wherever it went. Many people were seeing such powerful swordsmanship for the first time. It was already amazing when it cut down Uchiha Obito.

But compared to the sword strike just now, it was nothing more than a drizzle.

"This bastard is actually this strong..."

The handsome Scorpion in the crowd was greatly discouraged. He had been determined to defeat this bastard uncle since he was a child. Over the years, his strength had been steadily improving. He thought that even if he couldn't break through the bastard uncle's defense, he had at least narrowed the distance between them. He was on the third floor, and maybe the bastard uncle was on the fifth floor. As long as he put in more effort, he could surpass him and kill him.

But when that bastard uncle beat up that Uchiha Obito, he discovered that this bastard uncle wasn't just on the fifth floor, but probably on the seventh or eighth floor. Although he was quite shocked, he wasn't disappointed. As long as his goal was stronger, he would be motivated to become stronger, and one day he would be able to kill that bastard old guy.

But now, seeing the power of this sword energy, Handsome Scorpion suddenly realized that this bastard wasn't just on the seventh or eighth floor, but might already be standing on the rooftop... A sense of despair inevitably welled up in his heart.

As the most talented puppeteer in Sunagakure in hundreds of years, he could be said to have developed puppetry to an unprecedented level. However, judging from the power of that sword aura just now, he began to doubt whether he could really climb to the rooftop...

If he can't climb to the rooftop, then what was the point of all those years of effort...?

"Hey! You're different from your uncle. Your uncle was exceptionally gifted from a young age, a genius among geniuses. You can't look at him with normal eyes. Scorpion, you're already very strong..."

Chiyo, seeing her beloved grandson's state, knew perfectly well that he had been bewitched by her nephew's sword energy.

It's unclear what grudge this uncle and nephew held in their past lives, but for so many years they've been like cats and dogs, always biting each other whenever they're together, and even she can't stop them. Perhaps her precious grandson has heard people around him boast about his uncle since he was little, and ever since he was introduced to puppetry at the age of three, he has always aimed to surpass his uncle.

In fact, in her eyes, her beloved grandson's talent was already the strongest in their Wind Kingdom in hundreds of years. And the facts proved that her judgment was correct. Her beloved grandson had developed puppetry to a new level, and it would be difficult for anyone to surpass him in puppetry in the future.

Unfortunately, no matter how talented his precious grandson is, he is still within the normal range of geniuses. It is too difficult for him to surpass his nephew, who has turned the mutated Magnet Release into an auxiliary skill!

In her entire life, besides her nephew, she had only ever seen two other extraordinary individuals like him: Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha...

1200. If they died so easily, they wouldn't be idols.

"Heh...this is the strongest in the ninja world..."

Orochimaru, who was protecting Nawaki alongside Tsunade, had a gleam in his eyes.

As a top scientist, he had studied the cells of most of the strongest ninjas in the world, including Golden Lion Shiki. However, the more he studied Golden Lion Shiki's cells, the more extraordinary they seemed.

In fact, Shiki's cells look ordinary, no different from those of a normal person. Unlike the First Hokage's cells, which possess powerful Yang Release chakra, Shiki's cells did not contribute to his amazing vitality and enormous chakra, making his Wood Release unprecedentedly powerful.

Unlike Madara Uchiha, who possessed powerful Yin Release chakra and became invincible after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

There wasn't even a trace of Magnet Release in Shiki's cells. He didn't seem as powerful as Nawaki. Everything about him looked ordinary.

However, these ordinary cells, when he performed transplantation surgeries, whether transplanted into small animals or lions and tigers, all of them exploded into fireworks without exception. This once made him give up his research on the Golden Lion Cells, as even the first generation of cells had not achieved such a violent reaction.

With his perfect Sage Mode, powerful swordsmanship, and unparalleled physical defense, it's impossible to say that Shiki's cells are ordinary. Therefore, he has always suspected that Shiki's cells are even more powerful than those of the first generation, making it impossible for him to study them.

That incredible sword aura just now confirmed his deduction; even the First Hokage at his peak couldn't withstand that super sword aura...

But now his interest in studying the Golden Lion Cells has been rekindled. He really wants to end this war as soon as possible, and then find a place where he won't be disturbed by the world, so that he can quietly study his longevity techniques and the Golden Lion Cells.

...

The second male lead stood motionless before the chasm, staring blankly at the bottomless abyss. If anyone was most deeply affected by this super sword energy, besides the slain Madara, it would only be him.

He was only a short distance away from the sword energy that was slashing towards him. That super sword energy was practically grazing his face. At that moment, he truly felt death brush past him.

Just a hair's breadth away, so close... if that sword energy had been even slightly off-target...

"Hey! Handsome? Are you alright?"

Shinto approached the second male lead, who was standing there dumbfounded. Seeing his dazed expression, he waved his hand in front of his face. This was one of the key figures in sealing the old man's mother; if he went mad, things would really get out of hand...

"You...you bastard! You almost killed me, you know?! I was so close to dying! ヽ(#`Д′)?"

After a long while, the second male lead finally came to his senses and angrily berated the old man.

He was so close! He was terrified. Luckily, he hadn't drunk too much water today. That old guy has absolutely no team spirit; he was so close to Madara Uchiha, yet he still tried to kill him...

"Haha, it's been so long since I've been this excited, I forgot you were here too. But don't worry, I'm a veteran driver with decades of experience, my steering control is absolutely top-notch..."

Masato chuckled and patted the second male lead on the shoulder to comfort him.

However, he was also a little uneasy. He was so excited when Tsunade came to his door that he forgot that the second male lead was fighting Madara to a standstill. He only noticed the second male lead when he unleashed his sword energy, and he was really worried that he might have killed the second male lead as well.

Thankfully, the second male lead was surrounded by an aura, making him invisible even at such close range. Otherwise, once the old man's mother appeared, the savior alone wouldn't have been able to protect her. Who knows if the aura that caused the old man's mother to lose her intelligence was the savior's or the second male lead's, or if the effect of losing her intelligence only occurred when both of them were together...

"He...is he dead?"

After calming down, the second male lead looked at the spot where Uncle Ban had been slashed and disappeared. He had indeed seen Uncle Ban cut in two, but there was no body to be found here.

"It's not that simple. If he died so easily, he wouldn't be my idol."

Shindou shook his head, because his Observation Haki had already shown Madara sneakily approaching the Ten-Tails.

"But I clearly..."

The second male lead was about to say that he clearly saw Madara get slashed, but then he suddenly remembered when he slashed Danzo in Konoha. Danzo's amazing actions immediately silenced him. The other party was a formidable figure in the history of the Uchiha clan, and his actions were probably even more skillful than Danzo's.

"boom!"

"Kid, I have to admit you're the strongest ninja after me and Hashirama, even if you were born in our era. But... you think you can defeat me with just that? You're still too green!"

However, as soon as the second male lead finished speaking, Madara was already standing on the head of the Ten-Tails, forcibly putting on a cool and arrogant act to calm himself down.

It was so close! It was incredibly close! That super sword seemed to be locked onto him, and he couldn't dodge it at all. If it weren't for his combat experience and the fact that he used a forbidden technique when the super sword energy was only 0.0001 centimeters away from him, he would have been dead. It's hard to imagine that this kid's swordsmanship is so powerful.

"Ugh! How annoying! Idol, you're praising me so much, it's making me feel embarrassed! Um... the rest of the time is yours, please continue..."

After Masato finished speaking, looking shy and expectant, he looked at him and said, "Please continue, don't stop."

"....-_-||"

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. What the hell is wrong with you acting like you're embarrassed...?

"(▼he▼me)....Damn brat, don't cry later...Six Paths Ten-Tailed Coffin Seal!"
