The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The feeling of letting out this gas is so satisfying...

But then, Otsutsuki Urashiki laughed wildly and exclaimed:

"Hahaha... Sometimes it's a kind of pleasure to appreciate the ugliness of lowly creatures."

Do you really think the noble Otsutsuki don't use their brains?

I have a map in my mind now, and I've marked every point where you've appeared.

If you circle these points, it forms a perfect circle.

And right now, you are at the very edge of that circle.

You can't retreat any further. If you use that space-time ninjutsu again, you'll only be able to get closer to me.

With my speed, I am fully confident that I can attack you during the gaps in your continuous teleportation.

Besides praying that I'll let you go, all you can do is wait for me to rush to your current location so you can have a chance to escape.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's eyes flashed with deep horror, and he staggered back a few steps, his voice sharp and stern:

I don't understand what you're saying.

You're making it sound like you guessed everything correctly.

"Stupid birdman."

Faced with Uchiha Tonan's insults, Otsutsuki Urashiki felt no anger whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt even more pleased. He looked at Uchiha Tonan below with pitying eyes and said leisurely:

"You want to provoke me and force me to come at you now."

Unfortunately, I'm not as reckless as the other Otsutsuki.

Wisdom is my primary weapon.

As he spoke, Urashiki Otsutsuki's wings transformed into his hands, which slowly opened.

Its body was also gradually rising in height.

"Fear, tremble, you lowly creatures."

I will let you experience the power of being close to the gods before you die.

No, not for inferior beings like you.

"Otsutsuki is a god!"

Suddenly, the golden Rinnegan on Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's forehead shone with a dazzling golden light, and a terrifying surge of chakra was unleashed in an instant.

"Shinra Tensei".

"Oh!"

An overwhelming repulsive force erupted from the center of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.

Rolling snow mixed with mud and rocks shot out rapidly in all directions.

The surrounding mountains were instantly reduced to rubble.

The repulsive force was accompanied by a blinding golden light, which dyed the whole world a golden hue.

Uchiha Tonan's tiny figure was quickly engulfed by the golden light and repulsive force.

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was arguing with Danzo in the Hokage's office, suddenly paused, surprised, and said:

"Such an astonishing fluctuation of chakra."

The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi vanished and reappeared on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, looking up into the distance and muttering:

"It's in that direction."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue-purple barrier rose up around Konoha, enveloping the entire village.

"Swish swish swish~"

Several dark figures appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, it was Danzo and his subordinates, as well as the Shadow Guards responsible for Hiruzen Sarutobi's safety.

Of course, there was also an ANBU squad leader among them, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't recognize him and just assumed that this ANBU member was on a mission nearby.

Danzo, however, said with a solemn expression:

"Hiruzen, do you know what happened?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, glanced at the increasingly solid barrier above his head, and then nodded to Danzo with satisfaction, saying, "You did a great job."

But Danzo shook his head and said:

"Konoha is still under martial law."

The barrier team should be ready to activate the defensive barrier at any time to deal with Madara Uchiha's return.

This was not an order I issued.

The squad leader of the dark guard beside him immediately explained, "This is Lord Tu Nan's order."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in sudden realization and said, "Tunan's reaction is much faster than ours, these old guys."

Then he gave instructions to the remaining shadow guards:

"Notify the ninjas to prepare for battle and be ready to leave the village to meet the enemy at any time."

At the same time, villagers were evacuated to shelters.

"Yes."

Just then, the squad leader of the secret service spoke up:

"Lord Hokage, Lord Tu Nan has ordered that no one may leave the village before he gives the signal."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback by this and said in a deep voice, "Is Tonan fighting the enemy?"

Danzo roared angrily:

"That's ridiculous. How could he, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, risk his life alone?"

If something happens to Nine-Tails, how can he face the village?

I suggest we quickly organize manpower to leave the village and support Uchiha Tonan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and immediately decided, "I'll listen to Tonan."

Danzo was stunned upon hearing this, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief. "Hiruzen, you! That's the Nine-Tails!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face grave, looked at the shadow guards and said in a deep voice:

"What are you still doing here? Go and evacuate the villagers. No ninjas are allowed to leave the village."

"Yes." Several shadow guards responded and used their teleportation abilities to notify the various departments.

After the shadow guards left, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to face the direction from which the chakra fluctuations had appeared, gazing at the sky and murmuring:

We must trust Tunan.

Since he chose to fight outside the village, it was to protect the village.

At this point, the village must reach a consensus. If he says we can't leave the village, then we can't leave the village.

Danzo wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. All his words boiled down to one sentence: "Hiruzen, you are the Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips curved into a warm smile as he glanced at Danzo, his eyes clearer than ever before, and said softly:

"Everything for Konoha."

"Humph!"

Danzo immediately turned around, his back to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and shouted at the Root ninjas in front of him:

"Order all Root ninjas to go and assist the barrier team."

"Yes." Several Root ninjas responded in unison, using Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a strange sense of emotion welling up inside him.

This old friend, who had always been at odds with him, ultimately chose to support his decision at a crucial moment.

Even if the decision might be wrong.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a satisfying drag on his cigarette, gazing at Danzo's retreating figure, who seemed to be sulking, and said softly:

"Thank you."

Danzo turned his head away and said angrily:

"After this, the barrier class will be handed over to me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost choked on the smoke, but finally nodded.

In a resident's home.

The couple sat in front of their newly purchased square computer, their faces filled with curiosity.

But then I saw my husband extend one finger and tap a few keys on the keyboard.

The popular idol drama "Snow Country" was suddenly playing on the computer screen.

Just as the male and female protagonists in the idol drama were about to kiss.

Suddenly, the entire computer began to shake slightly.

Seeing this, the husband frowned, looked puzzled, and patted the computer, saying:

"That's strange, why is the computer imported from the Land of Lightning constantly shaking?"

Feel it.

The wife immediately reached out and placed her hand on the computer, looking surprised:

"Really? This box is amazing! It shakes just like my new washing machine!"

But this thing shouldn't shake, is there something wrong with it?

The husband reached up and touched his chin, seemingly lost in thought, and said:

"In my experience, it's probably infected with a virus, which has made the computer sick."
