XX-level Hokage

"Roughly speaking, he should be considered one of my clansmen," Mashiro said. "Clansmen? The Hyuga clan?" Mirai continued to ask.

“No, not from the Hyuga clan, but rather we have some deep connection with the Hyuga clan,” Mashiro replied. “Oh, I see.” Although Mirai still didn’t understand, that didn’t stop her from nodding in response.

At the speed of the Thunder Train, Mashiro and Mirai arrived in the Land of Wind in the afternoon. They disembarked at a station located in the desert.

"Get off here. Aren't we going to the Sand Village?" Mirai asked, looking around.

“There’s no need to go there specifically; I can vaguely sense his presence.” As she spoke, Mashiro gently closed her eyes and turned to look in one direction.

"Mirai, wait for me at the station for a moment, I'm coming over." After saying that, Mashiro spread her paper wings and flew away before Mirai could agree. Watching Mashiro's departing figure, Mirai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to quietly follow.

In a desert within the Land of Wind, atop a sand dune, Pu Shi was intently examining a green tortoise in his hands. "What's this? When did the Otsutsuki clan start taking up the hobby of playing with tortoises?"

Just then, a clear, crisp sound rang out. Pu Shi instantly put away the tortoise and turned to look.

Mashiro appeared behind him at some point, floating in the air. "You are... a member of our clan?" Pu Shi looked at Mashiro with some confusion.

She possessed a certain aura of the Otsutsuki clan, yet she used ninjutsu from a lower-class race. "Are you Kamashiki?" Mashiro asked.

Kamashiki picked up a red fishing rod, nodded slightly, and said, "I am Ōtsutsuki Kamashiki." "My name is Ōtsutsuki Goshiki. Momoshiki sent me here," Mashiro said calmly.

"Wu Shiki? Wu Shiki with the Enhanced Wedge? I've heard of you, but I didn't expect your body to be female this time." Pu Shiki said with a hint of teasing, without doubting Mashiro's words.

"This is no time for jokes. You should know about the deaths of Momoshiki and Kinshiki," Mashiro said. Upon hearing this, Urashiki nodded heavily.

"Momoshiki found me before he died and asked me to come to you, saying there was a prophecy that we needed to resolve," Mashiro continued.

Chapter 254: (Part 2)

"A prophecy? Did Momoshiki really activate this ability before he died? What did he say?" Pu Shishi asked in a deep voice, showing no surprise.

He said he saw an outsider arrive here who would pose a great threat to the Otsutsuki clan, and that we needed to work together to kill him. "Mashiro said.

"I understand. After I kill those two guys and avenge Momoshiki, I'll go find that outsider." Pushiki nodded and said.

"Kill Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha? They defeated Momoshiki. What are you planning to do?" Mashiro asked calmly.

“Relying on my own strength is too risky, so I chose to use the power of the plow.” As he spoke, Push took out the green turtle that he had just hidden.

Looking at the pink-skinned, green-shelled turtle in Pu Shi's hand, Mashiro opened the panel.

[A treasure of the Otsutsuki clan, brought to Earth by Otsutsuki Isshiki, was lost in the deep sea due to certain special reasons, and was later discovered by...]

Once salvaged, only members of the Otsutsuki clan can activate the plow's true form (which resembles a tortoise).

"The plow? I remember it disappeared a long time ago? You found it?" Mashiro asked softly.

“Plow was brought out of the tribe by Yishiki, but since he didn’t possess the power of time, he couldn’t use his true power. For some reason, after Yishiki died, Plow fell into the hands of a lower race, where I accidentally discovered it and took it over,” Pushiki replied.

“The power of time.” Mashiro instantly understood the plow’s function. “So you plan to go back in time?” Mashiro asked.

"That's right, go back to those two guys' childhood, kill them when they were young, and change the future of this world." Pu Shi said smugly. Mashiro remained silent, quietly watching Pu Shi.

"Why don't we go back in time together and take care of them sooner so we can come back sooner, destroy this world, and kill that outsider?" Pu Shi said to Mashiro.

Mashiro didn't reply, but instead said, "I've always been curious, as such a powerful treasure of the clan, shouldn't there be some significant limitations?" "Of course," Mashiro replied, "the power of time has always been mysterious and powerful. To use the plow, one not only needs the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, but also the power of time..."

The amount of chakra required to plough it is enormous, and any alteration of the past must be done with extreme caution, lest it inadvertently affect one's future self. Without a second thought, Kamashiki Shinji explained all the limitations of plough.

“Okay, I understand. This thing is mine.” Mashiro suddenly laughed and said.

"?" Upon hearing this, Pu Shi immediately sensed something was wrong and became alert. "You're saying..." Pu Shi began, but before he could finish speaking...

An invisible slash struck Pu Shi, instantly leaving a bloody mark on his body.

"Are you insane?! Don't forget the clan rules: no one in the clan can kill each other." Clutching his chest, causing the bloodstain to heal instantly, Pu Shi said with a benevolent air.

"As expected of someone with the Otsutsuki body, the slashes formed by the transformation between illusion and reality do almost no damage. But that's perfect, I've never faced a pure-blooded Otsutsuki head-on before," Mashiro said with great interest.

"You're not a member of our tribe, so who are you?! Why do you have the aura of the Great Jianmu tribe?" Pu Shi asked coldly, pulling out his red fishing rod as he put it away.

"Who am I? Just a passing traveler," Mashiro said calmly.

Before Pu Shi could question her again, Mashiro launched an attack instantly. "Harmony: Burial"

Flames rose from the ground, water dragons came from all directions, lightning struck from the sky, and fierce winds swept everything up, lifting up boulders and compressing them into a huge stone coffin.

All five attacks swept towards Bush.

But the instant he was attacked, Pu Shi transformed into several red origami cranes and vanished from Mashiro's sight. He then suddenly reappeared in front of Mashiro and swung his red fishing rod at her. However, the rod was blocked by a stone wall that appeared out of nowhere.

After failing to launch an attack, Pu Shi instantly activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, creating a black portal out of thin air and entering it.

Mashiro was not surprised by the failure of the attack, and muttered to herself, "Does she not have the ability to absorb ninjutsu like Kaguya and Momoshiki?"

Kaguya and Momoshiki's ability to absorb ninjutsu is different from the basic ability of the Rinnegan, the Preta Path. The Preta Path has too long an animation before absorbing ninjutsu. It's manageable against opponents of lower levels, but against enemies of the same or higher levels, it's basically useless in actual combat.

This is why Madara used the Preta Path ability when fighting the Five Kage, but not when fighting Mashiro.

Mashiro watched as Kamashiki disappeared, sensing that he was nearby. Just then, Kamashiki suddenly appeared behind Mashiro and kicked her.

But he was blocked by the shadowy soldiers who suddenly appeared from the shadows. The shadows spread out, and several shadowy ninjas tightly hugged Pu Shi's body. Then Mashiro turned around, reached out and grabbed Pu Shi's neck.

"I think I understand why you used the power of the plow to deal with Sasuke and Naruto. Your abilities are excellent for both self-defense and support, but they are basically not offensive." After saying that, white flames spread from Mashiro's hands to Urashiki's entire body.

An extremely cold force began to corrode Pu Shi's entire body. "Not good!"

Pu Shih once again transformed into a red origami crane and disappeared from Mashiro's hand.

Watching Pu Shi flee, Mashiro extinguished the white flames burning in her hand. This was the new bloodline limit she received as a reward for increasing her favorability with Kurotsuchi: Extreme Escape.

The system's new bloodline limit is simply the random combination of two familiar chakras; which two are selected is determined by the system.

The system drew fire and water attributes. Thus, the Ultimate Escape technique was born.

Specifically, it manifests as a white gas with an extremely low temperature, similar to another form of Ice Release.

While familiarizing herself with the Extreme Release, Mashiro innovatively injected a portion of the excess Yin attribute chakra in her body into the Extreme Release's cold energy, causing the cold energy to undergo a qualitative change, turning into a burning white flame, and the temperature became almost zero degrees Celsius.

Appearing in the air several miles away from Mashiro, the Pu Shi Building was panting heavily.

“No, we have to get back to the past quickly. We have to deal with those two guys and her in the past.” With that, Pu Shi pulled out a plow. With the infusion of chakra, the plow instantly transformed, and then a portal to another dimension appeared.

Just as Pu Shi was about to step into the Time Gate, Mashiro suddenly emerged from his shadow and reached out to grasp the plow.

"It's useless. Although I don't know what methods you used to obtain the power of the Otsutsuki, you cannot gain the Plow's approval without the power of time." As he stepped into the Gate of Time, Pu Shi said with a mocking tone.

"Is that so?" Mashiro chuckled.

Her eyes instantly turned into pale blue Rinnegan.

"Blue?!" Pu Shi instantly sensed something was wrong, Ran Ya Tianchen activated!

With the infusion of Mashiro's chakra, the plow changed again, and the time gate that Pu Shiki had constructed began to distort.

The time portal then transformed into a time black hole, entangling the two and instantly sucking them in. Soon after, the time black hole began to shrink.

Just as it was about to disappear, the future arrived here.

"Strange? Mashiro's aura seems to disappear here. What is this?" As the future arrived near the time black hole.

The time black hole unleashed its final power in an instant, a powerful suction force drawing her in. Then, the time black hole vanished.

There was no trace of the three people left in the desert.

Chapter 255: Revision (Part 1)

A wave of dizziness washed over her, and when Mashiro opened her eyes again, she found herself in a lush, green valley.

Looking at the shadows of the trees covering the ground, Mashiro suddenly realized something, and her shadow unconsciously merged into the shadows. Not far from her, Pu Shi was also looking around in confusion.

"It seems there was an accident during Plow's time travel. It seems I have to kill you to continue my plan." Pu Shi said in a low voice, looking at Mashiro. "Oh, I look forward to your performance." Mashiro instantly activated her Otsutsuki form.

He stretched out his hand, and the three Truth-Seeking Jewels behind him instantly transformed into three spears, which pierced towards Pu Shi in an instant.

Left with no other choice, Pu Shi used the Thousand Paper Cranes Instantaneous Movement technique again to dodge Mashiro's attack, and then appeared behind Mashiro. But this was exactly the moment Mashiro had been waiting for.

The moment Urashiki appeared, three more Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into black spears, piercing through his body in an instant. "You..." Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as Urashiki looked at Mashiro in disbelief.

The transformation time of the paper crane is almost zero. No one can react instantly unless Mashiro foresees its location in advance.

"Your Instantaneous Movement ability shouldn't be usable continuously, and I suspect that after activating it, you'll have at least a one-second downtime where you can't use any other abilities," Mashiro said calmly, turning to look at Pu, who was pinned down by the Truth-Seeking Ball.

This is a lush valley with many trees and shrubs. And these trees and shrubs provide almost complete shade.

Upon observing the environment, Mashiro immediately used the Shadow Soldiers to manipulate the shadows on the ground. The Shadow Soldiers shared the same perspective as Mashiro.

Therefore, as long as they are still in this valley, no matter how fast Pu Shi is, his position will be instantly locked by Mashiro.

You must have other tricks up your sleeve. Otherwise, it would be a real shame to have eyes that are the same color as mine. "Mashiro extended a finger and pointed it at Pu Shi.

Pu didn't speak. "Then, Ghana."

Mashiro drew a "一" shape in the air with her finger.

In an instant. Click!

Several large trees were cut in half.

But Pu Shi had vanished from the spot, along with Mashiro's Truth-Seeking Balls, disappearing without a trace. "Time reversal?" Mashiro murmured, looking at the three Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind her.

In her Otsutsuki Mode, Mashiro possesses nine Truth-Seeking Balls, but due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang chakra within her body, she can only barely conjure six at this time.

Three of the chakra orbs were used by Mashiro as a one-time attack on Urashiki, but Urashiki dodged them with a Thousand Paper Cranes Instantaneous Movement and then disappeared from the spot. The remaining three orbs were inserted into Urashiki's body to seal his chakra.

Now, three Truth-Seeking Balls have reappeared behind Mashiro, and with the "Time Reversal" reward from Kamashiro's favorability bonus, she has deduced the ability Kamashiro used.

Suddenly, Pu Shi appeared beside Mashiro and lashed the red fishing rod hard at Mashiro.

Mashiro dodged to the side, but was struck by Shiki's Heavenly Wooden Elbow Strike. Raising her arm to block, Mashiro was knocked back several steps.

Then, Pu Shi pressed his advantage, and the fishing line instantly pierced through Zhen Shiro's body.

“Using time rewind to foresee my actions is a wasteful tactic,” Mashiro said softly. “Whether it’s wasteful or not depends on the situation. Against you, it was worth it,” Pu Shi said.

Just as Mashiro said, Pu Shi had actually attacked Mashiro many times.

After each failure, Urashiki would rewind time, allowing him to completely predict Mashiro's every move. However, due to the time limit of Urashiki's time rewind, he could only predict Mashiro's actions for the next seven seconds. It was this complete prediction within those seven seconds that enabled Urashiki to successfully attack Mashiro.

"From now on, the chakra within your body belongs to me." Pu Shi laughed wildly and pulled hard on the fishing rod. But he pulled in vain; the hook came back empty.
