For Konoha
For Black Zetsu ...
I can finally feel a little more at ease!
When Shirou Emiya truly acknowledged that the Akatsuki wanted to intimidate the entire Shinobi World, he was destined to become an enemy of the entire Shinobi World. The ninjas would not tolerate the birth of such a destructive weapon of war!
Compared to Shirou Emiya's truly insane plan to resurrect the Ancient Era Rabbit Goddess Kaguya Otsutsuki and rise above humanity, the Akatsuki's War Weapon Project seems so gentle and endearing, yet it would never be accepted by anyone...
In this world, if a weapon capable of destroying a country is not in one's own hands, then no one would want that weapon to appear.
Especially...
Shirou Emiya must really be able to manufacture weapons of war!
This Ancient Era ninja knows too many secrets of the past and possesses extremely powerful strength. He must also truly have the means to create weapons of war!
"Really..."
Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze and Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him and said in a deep voice, "It's exactly what the Great Toad Sage said. Lord Shirou's methods of trying to change the Shinobi World are indeed so extreme that they're unacceptable..."
"It doesn't matter."
"People are always foolish enough to see only the so-called future that is right in front of them, but they cannot see across time the rise and fall of dynasties over thousands of years..."
Shirou Emiya disregarded Jiraiya's thoughts, raising his hand to reveal a jade-green Chakra Scalpel. His gaze fell upon Jiraiya: "However, predetermined fate cannot be changed, nor can it be rewritten based on personal will..."
Just like...
Just like the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.
When Jiraiya heard the word "destiny," he subconsciously thought of the Child of Prophecy and looked at Nagato and Konan standing behind Shirou Emiya.
This man...
I already knew that my disciple was still alive!
He even knew long ago that Nagato, who was still alive, would inevitably clash with his other disciples!
"Alright."
"Make way."
"You should know that you can't possibly be my match."
Shirou Emiya calmly raised his eyes to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen at the forefront. "And until my plan is complete, I have no interest in engaging in pointless killing..."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen silent, still standing in the same spot.
Both he and Jiraiya were well aware of just how powerful Shirou Emiya.
Swordsmanship, Ninjutsu, bloodline limit...
They are all among the most outstanding beings in the world.
To be honest...
The pressure of the battle is immense...
It was even bigger than when they faced off against Nagato and his trio.
"If we don't stop you at this moment..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed with some regret, his short, old figure blocking Shirou Emiya's path with unwavering resolve. "I'm afraid that by the time that weapon of war is completed, we won't have the chance to stop you like this..."
This is the best opportunity.
Because Konoha is at its strongest right now!
It was even the moment when he, the Hokage, most wanted to burn himself out!
"Prepare for battle!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen swiftly formed hand seals, his gaze fixed intently on Shirou Emiya, and loudly declared his declaration of war, "Although I never imagined I would one day fight Lord Shirou, now that things have come to this, I, who bear the title of Hokage, cannot back down!"
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen formed the hand seals for the Summoning Technique, the robust Monkey King Enma suddenly appeared from within the Summoning Smoke, transforming into an Adamantine Staff that landed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, gripping his Adamantine Staff, charged forward while issuing his battle orders. "Minato, you take care of Lord Shirou. Jiraiya, cover me!"
"Yes!"
Minato Namikaze vanished from his spot in Body Flicker Technique!
"I see!"
Jiraiya quickly began forming hand seals simultaneously!
This combat order was not unannounced.
After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen had personally witnessed Minato Namikaze defeat Pain and Tobirama Senju Deva Path Pain. Having Minato Nagato, who was skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique Minato Namikaze, deal with Nagato was the most likely scenario to produce quick results!
As for Sarutobi Hiruzen himself...
The old man already had his own plans in mind!
Clang!
The Chakra Scalpel and the Adamantine Staff collided in an instant!
Shirou Emiya's Chakra Scalpel flashed across the Adamantine Staff, directly slashing at the hand holding the staff in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand. This forced Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes to narrow, and he had no choice but to release the Adamantine Staff!
In an instant...
Sarutobi Hiruzen lost his weapon!
As if the Chakra Scalpel in Shirou Emiya's hand had inexplicably acquired a magnetic force, he moved his wrist slightly and used the Chakra Scalpel to quickly lift the Adamantine Staff was the Monkey King Enma's incarnation, spun it around, and flung it straight at Jiraiya, who was Hand Seals!
"What kind of swordsmanship is this...?"
Jiraiya was completely dumbfounded when he saw such a fancy sword technique for the first time in the Shinobi World. He could only hurriedly kick the Adamantine Staff back into Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand!
"Caught it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen up, and the Adamantine Staff in his hand suddenly extended three feet, Adamantine Staff towards Shirou Emiya's chest!
Shirou Emiya's emerald green blade of light extended from his palm, and he swung his arm with Chakra Scalpel, slashing the Adamantine Staff aside!
"Fire Style..."
Jiraiya joined his fingers together to form Hand Seals, and opened his mouth to spit a ball of fire at Shirou Emiya in order to support Sarutobi Hiruzen's attack!
"Fire Style!"
Shirou Emiya suddenly raised his other hand!
A fireball suddenly burst from his palm Jiraiya. The fireball burst from the ground, forcing Jiraiya to flip over and scramble to the side!
"It's that same trick again..."
Jiraiya hurriedly watched as the fireball landed and exploded!
It's that kind of powerful, unpredictable Ninjutsu again!
But...
He and the teacher were in a sorry state...
The progress on Minato Namikaze's side is going quite well!
Minato Namikaze moved at high speed beside Nagato, making Nagato's Rinnegan dizzy and unable to catch his figure at all!
Spacetime Techniques...
They have such a huge advantage in battle!
Nagato felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at Minato Namikaze!
Minato Namikaze's Kunai pierced Nagato's feet, and he swung his Rasengan at Nagato's body. The moment Nagato made his move, Minato's figure vanished!
To be honest...
It is difficult to deal with someone who Rinnegan.
Especially after dodging the Rinnegan's attack, it's hard to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack. However, Minato Namikaze has gained some experience and even found an opportunity based on Nagato's attack intervals!
"Chance..."
Minato Namikaze dodged Nagato's attack and then hurled his Rasengan at him, already prepared for the possibility that Rasengan might break through Nagato.
But...
Someone was faster!
Shirou Emiya wielded his Chakra Scalpel to force Sarutobi Hiruzen, then landed beside Nagato, calmly staring at the Fourth Hokage. With a single, ruthless strike, he severed Minato Namikaze's arm!
"!!!"
Minato Namikaze was so startled that he quickly took a few steps back!
"How could this be..."
Minato Namikaze didn't care about his severed arm, because he knew that his Impure World Reincarnation Body would soon be restored. He just looked at Shirou Emiya, who had appeared in Nagato Body Flicker Technique protect Nagato, with some doubt and uncertainty, and vaguely sensed a familiar feeling.
"This is... the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Flying Thunder God Technique...
How could the opponent possibly use the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Minato Namikaze immediately realized the trouble they were about to encounter!
A ninja skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique cannot be stopped. Shirou Emiya will likely take Nagato and Konan away using the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Just as expected!
Shirou Emiya reached out and grabbed Nagato and Konan's shoulders!
If no one stops him, he will immediately leave with his two subordinates and completely get rid of the threat from the Konoha ninjas!
But...
He never got that chance!
The battle-hardened Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately realized Shirou Emiya's purpose!
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, brandished his Adamantine Staff and pointed it at Shirou Emiya. The Adamantine Staff in his hand suddenly extended, instantly shoving Shirou Emiya's body backward away from Nagato and Konan!
"Lord Shirou!"
A look of surprise instantly appeared on Nagato's face.
"It's alright."
Shirou Emiya's figure had disappeared from the spot.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen then regretfully controlled the Adamantine Staff in his hand and quickly retracted it. He knew that this sneak attack was unlikely to yield any further results...
However...
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not notice.
A Flying Thunder God Seal appeared on the Adamantine Staff in his hand.
"Watch out, Lord Third Hokage!"
Minato Namikaze seemed to remember something with some shock, and as he watched Sarutobi Hiruzen retract his Adamantine Staff, he hurriedly reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen be careful!
On the Ape Monkey King Enma's Vajra Staff...
The Flying Thunder God Seal was left on it in that very instant!
Whoosh!
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen had reacted and put down the Adamantine Staff in his hand, he saw Shirou Emiya appear in front of him, his emerald green Chakra Blade suddenly sweeping towards the Third Hokage's neck!
Just one strike...
This Third Hokage will be beheaded!
However...
Someone saved the elderly Hokage.
The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Body Flicker Technique appeared beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, dragging his elderly disciple back a few steps to avoid the Chakra Scalpel!
At the same moment!
Shirou Emiya relentlessly swung his sword and pursued relentlessly!
At the same moment!
A person stood in front of Shirou Emiya with bare hands, grabbed Shirou Emiya's Chakra Scalpel, and kicked Shirou Emiya in the chest, forcing him back!
"..."
Shirou Emiya calmly crossed his arms to block his kick.
"I don't want to fight Lord Shirou..."
There was sadness in the eyes of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. He seemed to have returned to the moment when he faced life and death with his old friend, Madara Uchiha. He looked at Shirou Emiya with an extremely heavy expression.
"But, for Konoha..."
