In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

"No, no, I wasn't brainwashed... I was rescued from prison by Lord Kenshin..." Karin began to tell Reiyu a story.

Lingyu stopped crying, her eyes slightly glazed over. She usually loved listening to stories, but she stopped crying and began to be drawn in by Xianglin's gentle words.

"Back then... my mother..." Karin started to speak, but then suddenly burst into tears and began to cry.

"Sister Xianglin, don't cry!" A look of panic appeared on Lingyu's face.

Deidara was also moved. He hadn't expected the two to be such loyal and affectionate people, and to comfort each other. It was truly a remarkable friendship.

"You haven't finished telling me your story yet!" Lingyu blurted out in a panic.

Deidara was speechless. "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chapter 75 Hyuga Kenshin

A blinding light shone into Konoha Prison from outside, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Kisame frowned deeply and looked outside warily.

"If they appear at this time, it means reinforcements have arrived?"

Sure enough, a large group of people rushed in from outside, carrying various ninja tools. They were all wearing Jonin uniforms. Leading them were Might Guy and Sarutobi Asuma, who had just received an emergency mission notification and rushed to the scene immediately.

Upon entering the room, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was Ibiki Morino's tragically decapitated body and the bloodstains covering the floor.

The ninjas gasped in shock. Might Guy's face contorted with resentment as his gaze met Kisame's. His thick eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"Unforgivable!" Teacher Kai swiftly activated the Eight Gates at lightning speed, unleashing a burst of energy as he kicked at Kisame.

"So fast!" Kisame was slightly stunned. The man with thick eyebrows and a mushroom haircut in front of him did seem to have some strength.

Kisame extended his Samehada to block the attack, and with a slight exertion of his fingers, flung Might Guy into the air.

"Hmm!" Might Guy took a deep breath and began to make a deceptive gesture. He placed his hands at both ends in front of him, making the shape of a white crane's wings, and then brought his hands together in front of him.

"The morning peacock!"

A powerful red wave crashed down from the sky at an extremely high speed.

Kisame stood there, stunned. The moment the attack was launched, a powerful gust of air surged around him, blowing his hair around!

"As expected, it's very strong!" Kisame's shark eyes widened, and he stretched out his sharkskin to shield himself.

"Boom!" Kisame stood firm, while Might Guy continued his attack, and the two were locked in a stalemate.

Suddenly, a swirling chakra vortex slashed from beside Kisame, flashing with blue light.

The newcomer was none other than Sarutobi Asuma. He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and held a specially made chakra sword in his left and right hands. He spun around and slashed at Kisame like a high-speed spinning top, leaving only afterimages of his attack.

"Brother Kisame, I'm here to help you!" Hozuki Suigetsu, wielding twin swords, charged forward.

"Clang!" The chakra blade struck Suigetsu's flounder, producing a muffled sound.

Mizuki smiled slyly, and suddenly a water blade shot out from the tip of her twin swords, extending towards Sarutobi Asuma.

But Asuma reacted extremely quickly, and a layer of wind blades gradually attached to his chakra blades. The wind blades met the water blades, and they managed to fight to a draw.

Asuma took a step back, a hint of astonishment in his eyes. He stared intently at the seemingly young Mizuki, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burn!" Asuma, with his exceptional combat experience, gave his opponent no chance to breathe, quickly unleashing Ash Pile Burn. A large amount of smoke enveloped Suigetsu, and then Asuma exhaled a Fire Release technique.

The flames immediately ignited the smoke, creating a series of explosions.

Before Shuiyue could react, he immediately used his water transformation technique, freezing his eyes in an instant as he was about to be hit by the series of explosions.

A tall, slender figure swept past, lifted Shuiyue up, and landed her aside, successfully avoiding the Ash Burning.

Zabuza snorted coldly, drawing his Executioner's Blade and pointing it at Sarutobi Asuma.

"Let's have a contest between adults, why bother arguing with kids?"

"Hey, I'm not a child!" Shuiyue retorted.

"Your brother is about the same age as me, so you're just a kid!" Zabuza retorted dismissively.

“According to you, your dad and mom are about the same age, so your aunt is younger than them, so she must be a child!” Shuiyue retorted.

"You brat!" Zabuza impatiently threw a punch at Suigetsu, saying quickly, "Auntie is auntie, and I am me!"

Sarutobi Asuma had no interest in watching the two bicker, so he grabbed his chakra blade and charged forward again.

In the distance, the white-powered magic mirror ice crystals transformed into a series of barriers, trapping the Jonin.

Countless ice crystal mirrors trapped everyone inside, and the light projected from the mirrors illuminated everyone's entire body.

The ninjas huddled together, looking around warily.

"Is this an illusion?" one of them questioned.

"No...this is not an illusion, this is...a bloodline limit." A bespectacled man frowned; he had seen illustrations of this scene in Konoha's ancient books.

Although the drawing is rough, the mirror depicted in it corresponds perfectly to the objects in front of it.

"As expected, this is the bloodline limit of Ice Release." The bespectacled man frowned.

"Watch out, everyone! Something's attacking!"

Just after one of them shouted, everyone gradually noticed that several people wearing the same uniforms as them were slowly walking towards them through the lenses in the distance. As the people approached, they were immediately stunned and stood there in shock.

Because the person walking towards them is none other than their own reflection.

But these images seemed to have their own thoughts, moving their expressions and forming hand seals.

"Iwai! What do we do in this situation!" A ninja looked at the bespectacled man beside him.

"I...I don't know either, it's not written in the book!" The bespectacled man trembled as he looked at the image that resembled everyone else's.

"However, the ancient books say that after the hand seals are formed, the spell will be completed very quickly..."

Before the word "activate" could be uttered, a large amount of chakra ninjutsu was launched towards the group from a distance.

Hidden within the ice crystals, Haku smiled faintly. Three years of systematic training, coupled with his genius status as a bloodline limit expert, had brought Haku's strength to the level between the Kage and the Anbu, surpassing the Anbu level. Dealing with ordinary Jonin was naturally no problem for him.

As the ice crystals shattered, countless ninja corpses piled up like mountains. Unable to defend themselves against their own ninjutsu, they panicked and lost their best opportunity to defend themselves. In their focus on self-preservation, they died directly from their own ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Asuma was about to step forward and unleash his Wind Release technique to send the two flying when he suddenly found himself unable to move.

"Oh?" Asma froze on the spot. Suddenly, he noticed that his body had been driven into the ground by some kind of wedge, and a dark twilight background appeared before his eyes.

A man walked past him, dressed in a black robe that covered his entire body, with nothing in his hands and a swirling black mask on his face.

Sarutobi Asuma froze on the spot, remembering the character that the previous three generations had specifically emphasized.

—The mastermind behind the night of the village's betrayal, the behind-the-scenes leader of the Root organization, the most powerful trump card of the emerging ninja village, Kagehime, the Hyuga clansman with the black robe and swirling mask, Hyuga Kenshin!

"It's you!" Sarutobi Asuma broke out in a cold sweat. A strong sense of oppression acted on Asuma, rendering him completely unable to move.

Kai glanced at it and immediately froze on the spot.

That familiar figure, the man who once plunged him and Kakashi into the lowest point of their lives, the man who almost killed him and Kakashi together.

"So it's finally here, hasn't it? Hyuga Kenshin!"

Kai was slightly stunned when Kisame's Water Barrage attack suddenly surged like cannon fire, hitting Kai directly in the face.

"Boom!" Kai's body fell like a bird.

Chapter 76 The Genius Who Works Hard

Kai lost his footing and, like a firework that had burned out, fell straight down from the sky.

"Hoo!" Kai took a deep breath, preparing to adjust his body and land at any moment. Kisame formed hand seals and launched another water barrage.

With his eyes wide open, Kai unleashed his power once more, adjusting his arc in mid-air to narrowly dodge Kisame's attack.

Kai's tense face immediately relaxed slightly. He fell straight to the ground, when suddenly a black shadow appeared at his feet before him.

Upon closer inspection, Kai was stunned.

"Hyuga Kenshin!" He turned his head slightly, looking at Asuma who was bound to the side, and then glanced at the Jonin who had been completely defeated on the other side. A surge of youthful passion ignited in his heart.

The greatest enemy of Konoha Village right now stands at his feet.

"This operation was indeed related to you! Hyuga Kenshin!" Kai's heart was ignited, like a thawing fire, and he stared intently at Yoriichi, as if he were his long-time nemesis.

For so many years, Matt Kay has lacked an opportunity to prove himself.

They were never able to catch up with their best friend Kakashi...

At this moment, he felt as if he were in a vortex of memories, watching Kakashi slowly run forward from childhood to adulthood, while he could only stand behind and keep shouting.

"Wait for me! Kakashi!" Guy's voice was clear and loud; it was him when he was a child.

Kakashi seemed not to hear him, and instead ran even faster.

Kai then realized that others would never stop to wait for him; even if a genius worked hard, they would only get further and further away from him.

Kai was exhausted and longed to rest, but then his father's voice rang out in his heart once again.

"Kai, don't give up! If you can't be a genius ninja, then be a genius of hard work!" Might Guy, dressed in a green bodysuit, closed one eye and gave him a thumbs up, his gleaming teeth flashing.

"Yes, even if I can't be a genius, I can still be a genius through hard work..."

Kai began to catch up with Kakashi step by step, until the distance between them slowly narrowed. His eyes were full of anticipation, hoping to catch up with him.

Genius...he's about to catch up with a genius!

"Kakashi, you're a genius who never stops striving. You're the kind of person who deserves to be my opponent!"

"Crack!" The screen suddenly shattered like a lens, and when he came to his senses again, he found himself on the battlefield of "Night of Betrayal".

He and Kakashi were fighting together, under a red moon, on a tree-style release that rose from the ground.

The enemy before them was dressed in a black robe and moved with astonishing speed.

"Scandium!" A violent kick sent him flying, pinning him to the wooden stake.

"So strong!" Kai clutched his injured chest, watching Kakashi being defeated by the black-robed Hyuga Kenshin, while he himself was unable to stand up and continue fighting.

Until the enemy leaves their range...

They failed, a profound and utter failure, and a strong sense of frustration enveloped Kai.

Even after that battle ended... he remained just as absent-minded.
