The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The snow melted quickly, and the rising white smoke instantly enveloped the two of them.

The two veteran ninjas instantly hardened their expressions and simultaneously used the Body Flicker Technique to appear on a distant rooftop.

Danzo, however, said with an angry expression:

"Someone has poisoned the snow. If I'm not mistaken, they used a special method to send the poison into the clouds last night."

Is this an attempt to poison everyone in Konoha? What a ruthless method!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were grave, and he sighed heavily.

"This insidious tactic must have been devised by the enemy currently fighting Tunan."

Moreover, it seems that this toxin is particularly effective against chakra.

It seems Konoha might not be able to hold out much longer.

At this moment, on the battlefield more than 50 kilometers away.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki has stopped Shinra Tensei.

The blinding golden light had dissipated.

But all the forests, mountains, and rivers within a radius of more than ten kilometers had disappeared.

All that remains is a huge circular sinkhole.

Melted snowmelt continuously flows around the sinkhole, forming streams that flow down the sinkhole walls and into the sinkhole, gradually creating a small lake.

Otsutsuki Urashiki stared with astonishment at Uchiha Tonan, who was floating on the lake, rising and falling with the waves, and said leisurely:

You really surprise me.

I never imagined you would hide your body in another dimension to escape harm in reality.

Are there many people in this era who possess this kind of space-time ninjutsu?

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan was soaked in sweat.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, his face filled with horror, and he stammered:

"Is this... is this really something that humans can achieve...?"

Impossible... Impossible...

Seeing Uchiha Tonan's performance, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was extremely satisfied and chuckled:

"The power of the Otsutsuki is beyond the comprehension of you inferior beings."

I admit I was a bit careless at first, which is why you made me look so pathetic.

But if I get serious, killing you is really no different than killing an ant.

At this point, Urashiki Otsutsuki still felt unsatisfied and began to threaten Tonan Uchiha, saying in a chilling tone:

"Now, there are no more spatial mediums of yours around here, right?"

Watch out, I might appear right in front of you in the blink of an eye.

Of course, you can also use your space-time ninjutsu to stay hidden in another dimension.

However... if you connect to another dimension for an extended period, I might be able to detect your spacetime coordinates.

But Uchiha Tonan shook his head repeatedly in disbelief, saying:

"No! This is all fake... How could there be such a powerful person in this world!"

I clearly possess the greatest talent in the world, yet I still work so hard, never slacking off for a single day or night.

Why are you so much better than me?

As Uchiha Tonan spoke, his expression gradually became frantic, as if his originally firm will had been destroyed and disintegrated by Urashiki's powerful attack.

Seeing this, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki felt a surge of pride and spoke in a condescending tone:

"Although it sounds cruel, that's just how the world is."

The achievements of a race over millions of years cannot be surpassed by any single individual through mere effort.

What you humans call talent is nothing but a joke to me.

"Is this a joke...?"

Uchiha Tonan murmured, looking utterly lost.

Suddenly, a neurotic smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's face, and he said in a confident tone:

"Yes! It's an illusion, it must be an illusion!"

Everything that just happened was fake.

"I am the strongest; I am the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan quickly formed hand seals and spat out a breath at Otsutsuki Urashiki in the sky.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

The raging sea of ​​fire instantly illuminated the surrounding scenery in fiery red, engulfing the Ōtsutsuki Urashiki in the sky.

However, when faced with this exaggerated fire jutsu, Urashiki Otsutsuki's eyes flashed with contempt, and he immediately opened his mouth and inhaled sharply into the sea of ​​fire below.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's mouth was like a bottomless abyss with immense suction power, drawing in the sea of ​​fire in just a few breaths.

After finishing, he even closed his eyes to savor it, and said leisurely:

"This level of chakra is among the best I've ever seen in inferior beings."

However... anything that's ninjutsu is just food for me.

As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes, gazing indifferently at the trembling Uchiha Tonan below:

"I must say, your chakra tastes really good."

Should we continue to struggle?

If you kneel down and admit your mistakes and repent, I might consider letting you end your suffering sooner.

Uchiha Tonan's hands remained in the hand seals, his mouth gaped open, his eyes filled with despair, as he muttered:

"Even ninjutsu...was consumed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan knelt weakly on the water's surface, staring at his disheveled reflection. His lips trembled as he murmured softly:

"There's still a chance, there's definitely still a chance... If Fire Release doesn't work, then Water Release will..."

After saying that, a last glimmer of hope flashed in Uchiha Tonan's eyes, and he knelt on the water's surface and began to form hand seals.

Otsutsuki Urashiki keenly noticed that Uchiha Tonan's hands, which were forming hand seals, were trembling violently.

So you haven't completely lost faith yet?

The more you struggle, the more I'll make you understand what despair truly means.

Even Urashiki Otsutsuki himself didn't realize that he had already put collecting the Nine-Tails' chakra second.

Subconsciously, he wanted to psychologically torment the inferior creature in front of him who had made him look so pathetic.

Uchiha Tonan took several seconds to complete the hand seals, then roared in a hoarse voice:

Water Release: Whirlpool Water Blade!

Suddenly, the small lake at the bottom of the sinkhole churned up, and a high-speed rotating column of water crashed towards Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.

Urashiki Otsutsuki slowly raised his hand, preparing to launch a small-scale Shinra Tensei to shatter Uchiha Tonan's vortex water blade.

After all, Water Release is a physical attack, which is completely different from Fire Release's heat attack.

Especially with such a large quantity, rashly absorbing ninjutsu through the mouth would likely have a certain impact on the body.

But just as Urashiki Otsutsuki was about to launch Shinra Tensei, he glanced at Uchiha Tonan kneeling on the ground below.

Uchiha Tonan's hands were clasped together, as if in prayer.

Otsutsuki Urashiki easily read the unease, despair, fear, and a glimmer of hope in Uchiha Tonan's eyes.

Is this your last struggle? Then let me extinguish your hope completely.

After thinking it over, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki lowered his hand and opened his mouth slightly.

The next moment, Urashiki Otsutsuki seemed to transform into a giant whale in the deep sea, sucking the swirling water blade into his mouth in one gulp.

To be honest, the powerful impact of the whirlpool water blade made Urashiki Otsutsuki feel slightly uncomfortable.

My mouth was so sore I could barely close it, and it was burning with pain.

But to maintain his air of superiority, Urashiki Otsutsuki kept a relaxed and carefree expression, saying nonchalantly:

"I was feeling a bit thirsty."

"Hiccup~"

After saying that, he paused to let out a perfectly timed burp, then licked his lips with a lingering satisfaction, and looked down at Uchiha Tonan, saying:

"Is that all the quantity...?"

Suddenly, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki blinked, somewhat doubting whether he had seen correctly.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan had already stood up, and there was no expression of despair or fear as expected.

Instead, they looked at me with concern.

Huh? Did I use too much force and scare this guy crazy?

That would be no fun.

But then Uchiha Tunan's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he asked in a concerned tone:

Are you alright?

The tone... made it sound like the two of them had a very good relationship.

Urashiki Otsutsuki tilted his head and muttered:

"This guy seems to have really gone mad; he suddenly feels bored."

Suddenly, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki felt a familiar pain surge through his body, and his eyes widened sharply.

"Uh... Pfft~"
