"Michikaeshi?"
Tobirama murmured that name.
"Mm." Hagoromo nodded.
Sasuke's figure floated up, his two Sharingan spinning wildly, the purple light of Susanoo like a passage to the underworld.
Immediately, the Underworld Gate Seal was activated.
The fleshy ball suspended in mid-air suddenly froze and began to tremble violently.
In Sasuke's eyes, the ball of flesh that Isshiki had condensed had now transformed into a silver core of light.
Slowly exhaling a deep breath, Sasuke's right eye Ne no Kuni Overturning on the silver light core.
"Then..." Sasuke whispered, blood slowly sliding down his cheeks, "Let's overturn this very order."
The power of the pupils erupted in that instant.
The gradually taking shape Yomotsu-no-Ōkami, draped in a tattered divine robe and with his face hidden behind a "Michikaeshi" mask, slowly raised his hands, holding them upwards, and a rough, ancient stone wedge slowly condensed.
"A divine artifact..."
"An even more ancient divine weapon than Uchiha Itachi's Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror," was Hagoromo's first thought upon seeing this stone wedge.
The stone wedge was covered with a strange pattern.
"Let this stone bear witness: it exists, and will forever return to the cycle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yomotsu-no-Ōkami Ōtsutsuki Isshiki drove the stone wedge in his hand into the flesh ball that was formed by Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Upon contact, the fleshy ball seemed to have encountered its natural enemy and began to slowly melt. A silver light was firmly locked by the stone wedge and then sealed inside it.
Call--
Susanoo dissipated like smoke and dust, Sasuke fell from mid-air, panting heavily.
Hagoromo walked over, and with a wave of his hand, a Chakra enveloped Sasuke. "How is it?"
Sasuke's eyes were tightly closed, and the two bloody marks were a shocking sight. After a while, he finally smiled and opened his eyes again.
Hagoromo was taken aback; Sasuke's right eye was now displaying a golden pupil with an eight-pointed star pattern.
"Teacher, I've absorbed this guy's data..."
Sasuke smirked, stood up, and spoke.
"Can you directly access what's sealed by the stone wedge?" Hagoromo asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, I cannot push him toward destruction, but my eyes tell me that I can bury him in the underworld of concepts, where he can never escape."
Sasuke finished speaking, his right eye transformed back into Mitsudomoe Sharingan.
Is there an erasure clause in the rules?
Hagoromo nodded.
"That's roughly how I understand it," Sasuke said.
Tobirama, watching Sasuke, couldn't understand Sasuke's actions at all with his current strength, and couldn't help but look at Hagoromo.
Are you absolutely sure there are no problems?
Having just been resurrected, he has witnessed even more than he experienced in his previous life.
However, even though Tobirama knew that the Uchiha Clan had been completely integrated into Konoha, he still harbored that idea.
The Uchiha, born evil.
"Don't worry, Sasuke is my disciple, and I could sense everything he just did."
Hagoromo completely ignored Tobirama's concerns and spoke.
With his current abilities, he could naturally see that Sasuke was not lying and that Isshiki was indeed sealed in the stone wedge.
It's even more exaggerated than the Totsuka Blade, which would permanently trap the victim in a dreamlike Genjutsu space, because the Isshiki cannot leave the stone wedge.
The Totsuka Blade is like holding someone in place, but anyone with Orochimaru's abilities can break free through the Cursed Seal, while the Stone Wedge is a constraint imposed by the rules.
The underworld is not a good place.
Tobirama nodded.
What can he say now? In terms of strength, he's the weakest among those present.
There are some abilities he isn't entirely clear about either.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Hagoromo stretched.
Now that the Isshiki of Isshiki, who remained in the Shinobi World, has been resolved, the next step is to gather the strength of the Shinobi World and begin preparations to resist the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Time flies, and five years have passed.
In the now completely different Konoha.
At this moment, the Hokage Building stands beneath the Hokage Rock. In the office, Hagoromo, dressed in a haori, rests his elbows on the desk, looking at the several screens in front of him, his fingertips touching.
"Hokage, all the instruments that will be deployed in outer space under the responsibility of Kumogakure are ready."
The Fifth Raikage, Darui, looked at Hagoromo with a respectful expression and spoke.
"The same goes for Kirigakure."
Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, rested her chin on her right hand, staring intently at the Hagoromo on the screen, and spoke in a seductive tone.
"The same applies to Iwagakure."
Deidara was no longer as impulsive as before. Instead, he sat calmly in the position of Tsuchikage, with the youthful and beautiful Kurotsuchi standing beside him.
After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kitsuchi's body began to deteriorate due to the destruction of his Kara, forcing him to step down as Tsuchikage.
Deidara was initially unwilling to take office, clamoring to attack Konoha in Hagoromo.
After Naruto and Sasuke overheard him, they beat him up several times before he finally behaved himself, and it seems he's even working towards becoming Hagoromo.
Ōnoki could only reply that as long as you take over Tsuchikage, you can admire whoever you want.
And so, Deidara succeeded as the Fifth Tsuchikage.
"Sunagakure is ready at any moment," Gaara a light laugh, more composed than in previous years.
His current identity is both the Fifth Kazekage and Hagoromo's disciple. Fourth Shinobi World War, Hagoromo had an extra disciple slot, and after thinking about it, he decided to accept Gaara.
It's not that Konohamaru and the others are incompetent, but rather that they belong to a different generation.
Konohamaru is now Naruto's apprentice, truly becoming his number one disciple.
"Alright, I will send all these devices up when the time comes." Hagoromo nodded and picked up the water glass next to her to take a sip.
Have you noticed anything unusual lately?
"Everything is normal at Kumogakure at the moment."
Darui spoke to Hagoromo.
The others echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, stay vigilant. I can't keep track of the entire Shinobi World all the time."
Hagoromo rubbed her temples as she spoke. The people on the screen remained silent. It was enough for Hagoromo to say those words; they would be truly foolish to believe them.
"Alright, that concludes today's meeting."
After finishing her Hagoromo, Yu Yi pressed the button and spun her chair around, looking out at Konoha.
After several years of development, Konoha has become more of a huge city than a village.
This is inevitable; development requires more people to come in, and the old model of Konoha is no longer suitable.
As for whether the daimyo agrees or not?
Haha, historical creations like the Daimyo no Daimyo no longer exist.
Now, not only Konoha, but also the major countries are dominated by hidden villages. Their economy, politics, and military power are all concentrated in these hidden villages, and the power structure has been completely reshuffled at the full-scale stage.
When Hagoromo said that it was impossible to monitor the Shinobi World at all times, he wasn't joking.
Even he has to handle government affairs.
