I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

"This is really... should we thank them?"

Yun Ting shook his head speechlessly, then looked around again. Yun Ren really had only himself to blame this time.

He's always liked to steal other people's things, and now he's finally reaping the consequences.

They actually believed in the so-called legend of the Box of Bliss.

Is it because I put too much pressure on myself that I acted recklessly and took a gamble?

Noticing Ai, who was being held by Wu and was on the verge of death, Yun Ting sighed slightly.

It looks like my work from now on will be much easier.

On the other side, Wu, who had just noticed Yun Ting's arrival, had a face full of greed.

He sensed a flavor from the newcomer that was far more exquisite than the combined flavor of Ai in his hand and a large number of Cloud Ninjas.

If the Box of Bliss were to devour this person, then my strength would surely increase by leaps and bounds.

Thinking of this, Wu couldn't help but drool.

Then, upon seeing three thousand Konoha ninjas swarming towards Yun Ting, it could no longer contain its joy and burst into laughter:

"I never imagined that after some of them escaped, a new batch of even more delicious food would arrive! Today is truly my lucky day!"

"Food? Delicious? You mean us?"

Upon hearing Wu's words, Yun Ting looked around and, realizing that the other person was referring to them, not only wasn't angry, but instead showed amusement.

"Today is indeed a lucky day. But not yours, it's mine."

The moment Yun Ting finished speaking, a large number of trees sprang up from the ground and rapidly emerged from around his feet, wrapping around him.

With a flap of its wings, Wu timely dodged through the dense trees.

However, the wormwood in its paws was snatched away by a tree, leaving it somewhat disappointed.

Then, noticing that a large number of trees were completely entangled in the Box of Bliss and were squeezing it in an attempt to destroy it, Wu chuckled in mid-air and said, "Another ignorant person. The Box of Bliss is not something that mere mortals can destroy."

Yun Ting ignored it and simply increased the force of his attack on the Box of Bliss.

The power that could easily crush steel in the past could not damage the Box of Bliss in the slightest. Not to mention, a large number of trees that had deliberately poured into the mouth of the box were also severed from their connection the moment they entered.

"As expected of a weapon forged by the Sage of Six Paths. To truly destroy it, one would probably need the power of the Six Paths."

After a brief test, Yun Ting, no longer focusing on the Box of Bliss, turned his attention to Wu, who was speeding towards him, shouting, "Delicious food, here I come!"

"Nonsense!"

Yun Ting clapped his hands together.

Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World Technique!

This signature ninjutsu of Konoha was unleashed for the first time within the Hidden Cloud Village.

In an instant, the earth within a one-kilometer radius of Yun Ting was torn apart, and countless trees grew rapidly from the ground, forming a lush forest rarely seen in the Land of Thunder.

The next second, the seemingly beautiful forest revealed its ferocious fangs.

Thousands upon thousands of vines were rapidly growing and flung towards Wu in mid-air, while countless wooden spikes detached from the trees like machine guns, raining down on Wu.

Yun Ting made some modifications to the Tree World Descent Technique to address its ineffectiveness against aerial targets, and the results are now in.

However, these methods still had no effect when facing Wu.

The opponent's body was now incredibly agile, far beyond its physical size. It not only easily dodged attack after attack, but also continued its relentless charge towards Yun Ting.

"Extremely sensitive to murderous intent?"

Seeing this scene, Yun Ting calmly said.

It's very simple to break through this ability of the opponent.

In the original work, Ryuzetsu and Naruto have already provided the answer.

The former never felt any fear or apprehension towards the incarnation of the Immaculate One; while the latter, in Sage Mode, suppressed any murderous intent in his heart.

Yun Ting could not do it without killing intent, but he could temporarily block it.

So he calmly clapped his hands again.

Sage Mode activated.

The next second, the Wood Release attack, now imbued with new power, struck the completely unprepared Satoru with perfect accuracy.

Boom!

Wu's massive body was instantly sent flying backward, his mouth filled with disbelief as he exclaimed:

"How is this possible???"

He had already said the same thing to Ai before.

However, the two are completely different in nature.

One was able to hit him solely due to his speed advantage; the other was that his own warning system regarding negative perceptions completely failed.

In terms of severity, the latter is clearly far more serious.

Undeterred, Wu took action again.

However, it was quickly ejected again.

"It's actually true!" Wu's face was grim as he realized that his best means of survival was useless.

However, it did not think of running away; instead, it looked at Yun Ting with even greater murderous intent.

Given that this being is so restrained in its abilities, it is best to kill it immediately upon its return to the human world, just to be on the safe side, to prevent future troubles.

so......

"It's just a matter of risking your life! Box of Ecstasy! Unleash your power!"

At this moment, as if influenced by Ai, Wu directed the numerous nutrients accumulated over the years within the Box of Bliss to burn wildly from this moment on.

Although doing so would lead to a significant decrease in one's own strength afterward, in the present moment, under the stimulation, Wu's strength would surge like never before.

If we can eventually devour this guy playing with wood and the large number of people behind him whose taste is no less than that of the Cloud Ninja, we can make up for a lot of losses.

Then, in the time that followed, the Box of Bliss, which was tightly wrapped by a large number of trees, suddenly burst into black flames, burning all the nearby trees to ashes.

Wu's entire body was also engulfed in ominous black flames.

Not only did it not harm it in the slightest, but it also made its body grow stronger and its skin harder in the following period of time.

At the same time, Yun Ting, sensing the terrifying speed at which his enlightenment aura was growing, finally frowned slightly and said:

"This guy... just how much food did the Cloud Ninja give it?!"

The Wu before my eyes is clearly much stronger than in the original work.

"Furthermore, I came here to eliminate the Cloud Ninja. How come it seems like I've ended up helping them get rid of a major enemy?"

It was clearly the Cloud Ninja's home turf, but their master had vanished without a trace, leaving two enemies to fight each other on their own territory.

This kind of thing was unimaginable in the ninja world before.

However, since we're already here, Yun Ting will just be a good person this time.

"You should leave Kumogakure first."

Given the aura that Wu was currently displaying, to prevent those around him from being accidentally injured, Yun Ting gave an order to the group of Konoha ninja behind him.

"Yes!"

Thanks to their prestige, the Konoha ninja obeyed orders without hesitation and quickly withdrew from the breached barrier.

Just then, Wu, having completed his power surge, attacked Yun Ting once again.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The forest, which had already become its own territory, immediately took action, and in an instant, a barrage of attacks swept towards Wu.

This time, however, the latter evaded the attack quickly.

It's not that my keen senses have been restored, but rather that they've become even faster!

Wu's current speed is in no way inferior to Ai's peak period.

Whoosh!

In an instant, an incredibly sharp sound of air being torn apart echoed continuously above the Hidden Cloud Village.

If viewed from above, one would see an incredibly fast black shadow carrying a powerful sonic boom cloud, charging toward the finish line where Yun Ting was located, no matter how the vast, sky-covering sea of ​​trees tried to stop it.

The principle that speed is the only way to win is perfectly demonstrated at this moment.

"When I read the original work, I always thought that the so-called enlightenment was a fraud. Now it seems that he does live up to the rumors."

Yun Ting watched the scene unfold before him with utter composure.

Even though Wu has now surpassed him in speed, it didn't change his expression at all; on the contrary, his interest in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Such strength is enough to serve as a facade," Yun Ting suddenly said.

Just then, Wu, who had been traversing the area of ​​the Tree Realm and was about to reach Yun Ting, lunged forward while suddenly opening his mouth and unleashing an extremely unpleasant sonic boom.

It was the sound of ultimate bliss.

In an instant, the powerful sound waves arrived at Yun Ting ahead of time.

Just as Wu was hoping that the sound of bliss could buy him even a second's time.

But Yun Ting, who seemed to have seen nothing happen, frowned and said:

"Don't you know how awful your shouting is?"

Wu's expression changed slightly.

Although there have been examples of Ai breaking the sound of bliss before, those people struggled for a long time, unlike the person in front of them who was completely unaffected.

Has the ninja world developed so rapidly in recent years?

It had barely reappeared in the world when Ai already caught its attention.

Now, someone even stronger than Ai has appeared.

Wu was beginning to doubt whether he could fulfill his wish of conquering the ninja world.
