Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

"I will definitely train hard from now on! I'll beat him down! I'll avenge my sister!"

Naruto solemnly promised.

Muzan picked at his ear piercing; he wouldn't argue with a child.

How can you take Naruto's words seriously?

Even if the Sage of Six Paths were to appear in the future, he would still have to take a bite out of him.

Naruto, you should stop dreaming.

"They might not necessarily be defeated by the leader of the Eternal Bliss Sect!"

Muzan retorted, "Didn't the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult also leave?"

Naruto was taken aback. Oh, right!

Although my sister consumed too much chakra, wasn't the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult driven away by my sister?

So the older sister won!

Naruto proudly raised his chin; he knew it, his sister was the best!

Muzan quickly tapped the screen a few times.

【Ding! 】

[Please confirm whether to fuse and upgrade Phantom Body Flicker Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kagura's Mind's Eye?]

【whether】

Muzan clicked "Yes".

"Muzan, what are you doing?"

Naruto watched as Muzan waved his hand in the air and couldn't help but lean closer to ask.

Muzan: "...I'm developing a new technique."

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise: "Wow, that's amazing!"

How is Muzan so powerful?

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

Naruto covered his mouth and distanced himself from Muzan, afraid of interfering with Muzan's development of new techniques.

Kagura's Mind's Eye can lock onto chakra, making it the strongest detection technique, and it's suitable for merging with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Phantom Body Flicker Technique is a special ninjutsu developed by Uchiha Shisui that requires the Sharingan to activate.

By combining the skills Phantom Instantaneous Movement, Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kagura's Mind's Eye, the resulting skill would definitely be sufficiently cunning.

【Ding! 】

[Phantom Body Flicker Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kagura's Mind's Eye confirmed successful!]

[Integration in progress...]

[Skill fusion successful!]

[The fusion skill is currently being upgraded...]

【1, 2, 3...】

[Skill upgrade successful!]

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking a new skill—Guardian Speed!]

Flip the card.

The skill descriptions appeared before Muzan's eyes.

[Guardian Divine Speed ​​Skill Introduction: Spatial traversal does not require the Flying Thunder God Technique. By locking chakra to locate spatial coordinates, the caster and attacks can freely traverse between spatial coordinates visible only to the caster; physical clones can appear at any spatial coordinate and can swap spatial positions with the main body; within the perception range, the caster can automatically teleport to the best evasion point before an enemy attack is launched; by establishing spatial coordinate connections, all spatial coordinates can be connected simultaneously for multi-person spatial movement.]

From now on, the Flying Thunder God Technique will no longer require kunai or incantations to activate.

Without the Flying Thunder God Kunai and the technique, the attacks will only become more concealed, making them harder to defend against.

Muzan nodded in satisfaction.

Overall, the upgraded skill suited his taste perfectly.

Rei Amamiya couldn't sleep anymore. He opened his eyes and immediately heard Naruto's joyful shout.

"elder sister!"

"you're awake?"

"Are there any discomforts?"

Would you like some water?

Are you hungry?

Naruto kept talking nonstop.

Rei Amamiya shook her head at Naruto: "I'm not feeling unwell, I don't need water, and I'm not hungry."

Naruto quieted down, stared intently at Rei Amamiya, and said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness my sister is alright."

Rei Amamiya rubbed his head and asked, "How is the situation in the village now?"

Naruto immediately thought of the Third Hokage who had sacrificed himself. He choked up and looked cautiously at Rei Amamiya, unsure whether he should speak.

"The Hokage is dead."

Seeing that Naruto was stammering and unable to speak for a long time, Muzan spoke bluntly.

If he doesn't speak, how can the main character's story continue?

Rei Amamiya's pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door of the ward.

Naruto quickly followed and tried to stop him.

Chapter 442 Afraid of oneself? ? ?

"Sister, your injury hasn't healed yet, you need to rest more..."

Naruto grabbed Rei Amamiya's hand and looked at him pleadingly.

Rei Amamiya paused, then squatted down in front of Naruto, placing his hands on Naruto's shoulders.

"Naruto, I'm alright now. I can't stay here any longer; I have my responsibilities."

Naruto stared blankly at Rei Amamiya.

He didn't react until Rei Amamiya let go of his shoulder and disappeared from his sight.

As Naruto stared at the empty doorway, he realized for the first time the weight of the word "responsibility."

……

Hokage Building.

The body of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was placed in a black coffin.

Jiraiya stood before the coffin, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi lying quietly inside, feeling a sense of unreality.

Kakashi stood next to Jiraiya and glanced at him.

Jiraiya asked, "How is Zero?"

Kakashi looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse and said, "He overused his chakra and fell into a coma."

Jiraiya nodded: "It's good that you're alright."

He had fought against Rin, the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult.

It's fair to say that if Rinzo hadn't shown great kindness, he might not be standing here alive.

It was already extremely difficult for Rei Amamiya to force his opponent to retreat and protect Konoha from their clutches.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse with complicated expressions.

"Let the funeral be held tomorrow!"

"Turn to the next room," said Xiaochun.

No one objected.

Footsteps came from behind everyone, and their eyes all turned to look behind them.

"Lord Amamiya!"

One of the ninjas whispered.

Kakashi frowned, immediately pushed through the crowd, and walked towards the door.

Rei Amamiya came into his view.

Rei Amamiya was pale, and the fatigue on her face had not yet faded.

He walked step by step toward Hiruzen Sarutobi's coffin.

His gaze was fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi's coffin, as if he couldn't see anyone around him.

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and he clenched his hand that he hadn't reached out.

Rei Amamiya stopped in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi's coffin. After seeing Hiruzen's body, his pupils trembled and his legs went weak.

Kakashi moved, but a figure was faster than him.

Jiraiya carefully held onto Rei Amamiya's arm.

"How could this be..."

Rei Amamiya's eyes slowly reddened, his pupils moved stiffly, and he gripped Jiraiya's arm tightly: "How could this be... Hokage-sama..."

Jiraiya looked at Rei Amamiya's pale, chapped lips and sighed deeply in his heart.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the person who admires and is closest to the teacher the most is probably Rei Amamiya.

Jiraiya had always observed Rei Amamiya's attitude, and he could sense that Rei genuinely respected his teacher.

Therefore, Rei Amamiya was the one suffering the most at this time.

First it was Minato and Kushina, then Shisui and Itachi, and now, even our teacher has left…

Jiraiya couldn't offer any comfort to Rei Amamiya.

That's how a ninja's life is—constantly losing, until only one person remains in the end.

Tears silently slid down Rei Amamiya's cheeks.

His hands rested on the coffin as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's face: "It's all my fault... I came too late..."

Upon hearing Rei Amamiya's words, Jiraiya frowned: "Rei, don't take everything on yourself. You protected Konoha and the villagers from Rin. You've done everything you could."

The ninjas' eyes were fixed on Rei Amamiya.

If it weren't for Lord Amamiya, they might have died long ago.

Not only them, but also the villagers of Konoha.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village will suffer a devastating blow.

Jiraiya patted Rei Amamiya on the shoulder: "Rei, the village needs you now."

Jiraiya's words seemed to infuse Rei Amamiya's body with powerful energy.

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane exchanged a glance. Homura nodded, while Koharu looked at Rei Amamiya: "The village was attacked by Orochimaru and Rinzo, the leader of the Eternal Paradise Cult. The Third Hokage was killed. We must choose a successor Hokage!"

Jiraiya's gaze fell on Rei Amamiya, a slight smile playing on his lips, tinged with satisfaction: "Do we still need to choose?"

Mitokado Homura stated bluntly, "Amamiya Rei, the village has decided to appoint you as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Rei Amamiya raised his head, glanced at Jiraiya, and said blankly, "But... I'm still too young..."

Jiraiya chuckled: "Minato was also very young when he succeeded as the Fourth Hokage, but he still did an excellent job, didn't he?"

Jiraiya seemed to know what Rei Amamiya was going to say and continued, "You are a ninja trained by both the Third and Fourth Hokage. The Third and Fourth Hokage believed in you, so you must believe in yourself too, Rei!"

Mitokado and Koharu nodded.

"That's right, the village ninjas will also assist you."
