XX-level Hokage

Looking into Hinata's eyes, Mashiro suddenly remembered this. In the memories she had gained, the Tenseigan was an existence that could be compared with the Rinnegan, and it was also the final form of the Byakugan. As the purest Byakugan user, Hinata was the most likely to evolve into the Tenseigan.

After sending Hinata back, Mashiro was still thinking about the matter.

"The evolutionary process of the Rinnegan is: tomoe Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and then combined with Senju cells, which are Yang-attribute chakra, to finally form the Rinnegan."

The Tenseigan is incredibly peculiar; it seems to have evolved directly from the Byakugan. So, what kind of special process would be needed for the Byakugan to undergo such a dramatic change? It seems I'll need to go to the moon soon. Mashiro touched her pure white eyes, lost in thought.

"What would Hinata be like on the other side? A hot-tempered Hinata would be interesting." Mashiro, lying in bed, suddenly started daydreaming. Then she gently closed her eyes. Her mind began to drift.

The following evening, Dou was repairing a broken window in the orphanage. Suddenly, someone appeared behind him.

"I wonder if Lord Mashiro has come to see me on some important matter?" Kabuto turned around and looked at Mashiro humbly. "Kabuto, are you still lost in your own world?" Mashiro looked at Kabuto and said with a hint of pity and annoyance.

"What is Lord Mashiro saying?" Kabuto asked, his eyes lowered, seemingly confused. The second match was truly beginning.

Mashiro, who was in the audience, turned and left after a quick glance at the two people who had just appeared; she had more important things to do.

Halfway through the match between Shino and Kankuro, news arrived that the Sound Village had launched an attack on Konoha.

All the ninjas present left, leaving only Genma Shiranui to maintain the match, while the Third and Fourth Kazekage watched quietly. Soon after, Kankuro, to preserve his strength, announced his surrender.

"Second match: Shino Aburame wins. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the next match will now begin. Third match: Sasuke Uchiha vs. Gaara. Please enter the arena, both candidates," Genma Shiranui announced.

Meanwhile, outside Konoha, a battle was taking place between Konoha and the Sound Ninja.

Mashiro was standing near the Ninja Academy at this moment, and any Sound Ninja who came near would be immediately cut in two.

Dealing with the Sound Ninja is not difficult for the Konoha ninjas, and so far the battle has not resulted in any major casualties.

Just as things were looking up, the Sand Ninja suddenly joined the battle, launching an attack on Konoha alongside the Sound Ninja.

Kurenai was dealing with a Jonin from the Sound Village. She had just used genjutsu to control him when a Jonin from the Sand Village suddenly launched a sneak attack.

Hong was completely caught off guard and hurriedly dodged, but her right hand was still injured and bleeding. Hong looked at the two ninjas in front of her and her heart sank.

"Be careful, this woman's genjutsu is very powerful," the Sound Village Jonin said to the Sand Village Jonin after regaining his senses.

"It's alright, the sand is just blinding. As long as it blocks her vision and prevents her from making a judgment, it'll be fine." After saying that, the sand ninja formed hand seals, and flying sand surged up to cover Red. Red covered her hands, looking at the swirling yellow sand in front of her, her face extremely pale.

"Water Release: Water Net" "Lightning Release: Thunder Roar"

Just as Hong was pondering how to escape, a surge of water erupted from the ground and enveloped her, followed immediately by a lightning blade hurtling towards her from the yellow sand. "Not good!"

At this point, Hong had nowhere to run and could only close her eyes in despair. But the expected pain did not come.

Her eyes reddened, and Mashiro appeared before her without her noticing. "What a jerk!"

Mashiro said jokingly, then touched the stone wall blocking the lightning blade in front of him and looked at Mashiro, his red eyes glazing over.

The two ninjas, seeing Mashiro appear out of nowhere, wanted to continue their attack.

But Mashiro didn't give them that chance. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"

A gigantic fireball hurtled towards the two of them. "Oh no!"

Seeing the enormous size of the fireball, the two hurriedly used Water Release: Earth Release.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

The two of them, in perfect unison, chose this ninjutsu that consumed the least amount of chakra but was most effective against fire.

But this was exactly what Mashiro wanted.

Just as the two were spitting out water, two shadowy ninjas appeared from their shadows and plunged two kunai into their hearts.

"You seem quite surprised by my appearance," Mashiro said, turning to Kurenai after dealing with the two. Kurenai bit her lip, remaining silent.

Seeing that Kurenai's clothes were soaked, Mashiro took off her own robe and covered Kurenai with it, then used medical ninjutsu to heal her arm.

"Your right hand is really injured. As a genjutsu ninja, trying to fight against a ninjutsu ninja of the same level without anyone else around... I really don't know what you were thinking. Go to the hospital first; the others should be gathering there." After saying this, Mashiro disappeared into the shadows.

Meanwhile, in the venue, the third match was underway when Gaara suddenly lost control, transforming into One-Tailed Mode and carrying Sasuke as he ran out of the venue. Naruto saw this and hurriedly chased after him.

"Lord Hokage, the Sand Ninja have also launched an attack on Konoha." An Anbu member appeared beside the Third Hokage and said, "I understand."

As the Third Hokage spoke, Orochimaru revealed his true form and placed a sword against the Third Hokage's neck.

"All ninjas in the venue, evacuate the crowd, all participants, leave the venue!" the Third Hokage shouted calmly.

"The show is about to begin." Just as Kurotsuchi was about to leave, Zhenzi suddenly appeared beside her and said, "When did you appear?" Kurotsuchi asked, puzzled.

"Protect yourselves." Shinji pinched Kurotsuchi's cheek and joined the battle. The Konoha Crush Plan begins now!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Killing the Snake

Just as Orochimaru and the Third Hokage were fighting, the Anbu who were still at the scene went to support the Third Hokage, and the Sound Five appeared and used the "Four Purple Flame Formation". "Now there are only the two of us left here, teacher." Orochimaru said to the Third Hokage inside the Four Purple Flame Formation.

"Orochimaru, I've always had a question: why did you become like this? Whether it was you, Jiraiya, or Tsunade, they all left Konoha in the end. Did I do something wrong?" The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru, his old, cloudy eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Teacher, you didn't do anything wrong. You made the right choice for yourself. It's just that we have different positions. But there's no point in saying this now. Can you persuade me to return to Konoha?" Orochimaru said sarcastically.

"Since that's the case, Orochimaru, this time I will definitely make up for my mistakes and leave you here." The Third Hokage took off his Hokage robe and switched to battle mode. Taijutsu and ninjutsu clashed continuously, but Orochimaru was always at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the Third Hokage.

"You're still going strong, Master. But I wonder if you can hold your own against these two." Orochimaru said with a smile, putting some distance between himself and the Third Hokage. He then took out a scroll and summoned two corpses from it.

"Oh no!" The Third Hokage seemed to understand what Orochimaru wanted and hurriedly tried to stop him.

But it was too late; Orochimaru pressed his hands to the ground. "Reincarnation of the Earth"

Immediately afterward, the corpse disappeared, and two coffins rose from the ground. The coffins opened, revealing two figures inside, both dressed in old-fashioned skirt armor, one in red and one in blue. One had long black hair, and the other had short white hair. Their appearances were exactly the same as the First Hokage and the Second Hokage on the Shadow Rock.

"Orochimaru, you're destroying the dead!" the Third Hokage said, his anger barely contained.

"Teacher, you're still so corrupt. I originally wanted to summon Minato, since he's the Hokage you personally chose. Unfortunately, the summoning failed for some reason. But these two are enough," Orochimaru said with a sinister smile.

Immediately afterwards, the two Hokage emerged from the coffin and then quietly opened their eyes.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two Hokage, the Third Hokage's face became extremely solemn, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Who are you? A monkey? Long time no see, you've gotten quite old." The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, said to the Third Hokage with a smile.

"Reincarnation? It seems someone used a forbidden technique I left behind." The Second Hokage, Senju Mima, looked at his own body and said coldly.

"Judging from the looks of it, we seem to have been summoned as an opposing force. It seems we'll have to trouble you, Sarutobi." Hashirama looked around and said regretfully to the Third Hokage.

"First Hokage, Master, I never imagined I would meet you again under these circumstances, and to see Konoha in this state, I feel incredibly sorry for you," the Third Hokage said in a heavy tone.

"You are my disciple, and now the Hokage. There's no need for any flattery; I believe Konoha will become better under your leadership," Mika said, arms crossed. "Let's stop with the old folks' banter; it's about time to begin," Orochimaru said.

"Having just awakened from the slumber of death, I never expected to be greeted with battle. What a pity," Hashirama sighed.

"A ninja's destiny is to fight, I think you understand that perfectly well." Then Orochimaru began to form hand seals. Hashirama and Makoto's bodies became more and more realistic, and their eyes became more and more empty.

The Anbu outside the Four Purple Flame Formation were now in despair. The First and Second Hokage were legendary figures, especially the First Hokage, who was the God of Ninjutsu! Who could possibly stand against both of them at the same time?

"Prepare to experience the pain of being betrayed by your own master. This is something I specially prepared for you," Orochimaru said with a maniacal laugh. "Orochimaru, you have fallen into demonic possession," the Third Hokage sighed.

"Now who can stop me, Master?" Orochimaru said sinisterly.

Immediately following, the First Hokage's Wood Release and the Second Hokage's Water Release attacked simultaneously. "I can!"

Mashiro appeared behind Orochimaru without anyone noticing.

Hearing the voice, Orochimaru turned his head and saw Mashiro smiling.

The First Hokage instantly appeared beside Orochimaru, now flanked by two Hokage: the First facing Mashiro, and the Second facing the Third. "Even if you are truly Uchiha Zero, so what? Do you think you can defeat the First Hokage in your current form?" Orochimaru said, looking at Mashiro.

“Perhaps, it really is possible.” Mashiro said, snapping his fingers. The First and Second Hokage, resurrected by the Reanimation Jutsu, instantly exploded and turned to dust. “This is impossible?!” Orochimaru exclaimed in shock.

If the materials for the first and second generations are correct, and the incantation is correct, then the problem can only lie in the body prepared in advance, Kabuto!

Orochimaru looked at Mashiro with a grim expression and asked, "How did you convince Kabuto?"

"It's nothing, I just helped him find himself," Mashiro said calmly.

Orochimaru was right; it was indeed Kabuto who did it. Kabuto had placed explosive tags inside the two bodies Orochimaru used for the Impure World Reincarnation beforehand. Just now, Mashiro...

The explosive talisman inside the body was detonated, the carrier disappeared, and the rebirth from the earth naturally became ineffective.

"Orochimaru, surrender!" At this moment, the Third Hokage also came over.

"Hahahaha, I never expected to fail in this way, Manda!" Orochimaru laughed, summoning Manda in an attempt to escape. "Come forth!" The Third Enma also summoned his own summoning beast.

After emerging, the Monkey King quickly assessed the situation, instantly grew larger, and knocked Manda to the ground. Orochimaru, who was on Manda's back, was also forced to fall to the ground again.

“You can’t escape.” Mashiro appeared next to Orochimaru and said.

"Is that so?" Orochimaru's body transformed into dozens of venomous snakes and slithered in all directions.

As Mashiro watched the venomous snakes, his shadow stretched out, and dozens of various shadowy ninjas appeared, killing all the snakes one by one. Under the attack of the shadowy ninjas, Orochimaru was forced to revert to his original body.

He stared grimly at Mashiro before him and the Third Hokage behind him, his hands clasped together. "The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique"

After a puff of smoke, Orochimaru transformed into a white snake with eight heads and tails, which was Orochimaru's strongest form.

"Is there no other way?" Mashiro laughed, looking at Orochimaru who had transformed into the Yamata no Orochi. "Grass Sword Sky Blade"

Orochimaru spat out eight katanas from his eight heads, four of which shot towards Mashiro and four towards the Third Hokage.

At that moment, Mashiro's kaleidoscope on her chest began to spin. "Illusion: Thousand Crows"

This is a genjutsu that Mashiro created in her previous life, a genjutsu specifically designed to attack the soul. It was a backup plan she left for Orochimaru in her previous life.

From Orochimaru's perspective, four Kusanagi swords were piercing Mashiro's body, but Mashiro's body suddenly transformed into a flock of crows. The crows flew onto him and kept pecking at his flesh.

"Ahhhhhhh"

In reality, Orochimaru's eight heads roared.

Mashiro clutched his injured arm. The Kusanagi Sword was incredibly sharp, and Orochimaru's attack speed was extremely fast. The Third Hokage used Enma to block the attack for him, but even after summoning four layers of earthen walls, Mashiro was still injured in the arm and a section of his hair.

However, looking at Orochimaru's current state, Mashiro was still extremely satisfied. This genjutsu required a huge amount of chakra, and even though Mashiro possessed the chakra talent of the Uzumaki clan, her chakra was still almost depleted. Moreover, this genjutsu was almost useless against ordinary people with intact souls, so it could be said that it was specially made for Orochimaru.

He gave the Third Hokage a wink, and the two of them attacked Orochimaru simultaneously.

"Five Suitable Techniques: Dalian Bullet Technique" "Melting Escape: Funeral Procession"

Two composite ninjutsu techniques, each incorporating one of the five elemental ninjutsu, collided through Orochimaru's body. All eight of Orochimaru's heads were shattered, the Yamata no Orochi disappeared, and a white snake the size of a scaly serpent fell to the ground.

Mashiro picked up the Kusanagi sword that had just stabbed him and plunged it into the white snake's head. Orochimaru, dead!

Chapter 33: Group

Mashiro looked at the lifeless body of the white snake on the ground, drew the Kusanagi sword, and then two dark figures suddenly appeared, pulling the white snake's body into the shadows.

"Is he dead?" The Third Hokage, wielding the golden cudgel, stepped forward and asked. "If nothing unexpected happens," Mashiro replied.

Whether Orochimaru is truly dead or not, Mashiro cannot say for sure. In her previous life, Mashiro had also killed Orochimaru once, just like now, eliminating him along with his original body. However, in the final battle, Orochimaru still appeared.
