The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Was Already Invincible, but Someone Was Even More Ferocious
Uzumaki Ashina was also speechless. He never expected that this guy would be able to forcibly take away Gate of Hades. This thing is no ordinary ninja tool.
This is a tool thrown down by the Death Reaper, comparable to the Six Paths Tools of Kumogakure.
But it's too late to say anything now; the other party has already privatized the Gate of Hades. He's just a lingering remnant, and the other party is the sole heir of the Uzumaki Clan.
Right now, he had no choice. Was he supposed to make things difficult for the descendants of his own clan?
He was merely a lingering remnant, remaining in the deep valley. As for his purpose, even he himself couldn't say for sure; perhaps it was to guard the Gate of Hades, or perhaps it was to await the arrival of a certain day.
"Alas, the Uzumaki Clan ultimately couldn't escape their destined calamity." Uzumaki Ashina sighed, no longer in the mood to chat with Naruto.
Having been around for a long time, he immediately saw that Naruto was no pushover. "You're a cunning old fox, why are you still talking nonsense?" he said bluntly.
"If there is any hope, it would be best if you could revive the Uzumaki Clan."
After speaking, Uzumaki Ashina's figure gradually became ethereal, and his voice grew softer and softer. Finally, with a benevolent smile, he turned into specks of light and vanished.
Along with Ashina, the horde of corpses in the deep valley also went with the Uzumaki Ashina. Naruto and Tenten exchanged a glance; neither of them had any intention of going down immediately. All's fair in war.
After a while, making sure nothing had happened, the two slowly jumped down from the rock face.
"What's going on here?" Tenten asked. After learning everything that had happened, she was no longer afraid of this unfamiliar deep valley.
"It's probably his last wish, something about having descendants or something like that." Naruto's eyes were subtle.
For some reason, Tenten kept thinking about the lie he had just told. The lie he told the old clan chief about having two or three children made him feel a little awkward, but thankfully Naruto didn't mention it.
"Then you..." Tenten looked at Naruto.
"Me? What does his last wish have to do with me?" Naruto shook his head with a matter-of-fact expression. "Making promises without clear details is a very foolish thing to do. I have no reason to be responsible for them."
"But Naruto, aren't you a member of the Uzumaki Clan?" she asked, her face showing surprise.
"Yeah, I'm a law-abiding villager of Konohagakure too." Naruto pouted. "Tenten, you're too young. Reviving a clan isn't such an easy thing."
"Murong Fu has been abstinent for so many years, but he has not yet restored his kingdom."
"Who is Murong Fu?" Tenten was completely baffled.
"A man," he said vaguely. "None of that matters. The most important thing is that we get out of here now. We can't stay here forever."
"Hmm." Tenten is smart; she knows she should listen to Naruto in times like this.
He dismissed the horde of corpses Impure World Reincarnation and stood in the clearing of the deep valley for a while, lost in thought. Then his gaze fell on Tenten, who felt a little uneasy under his stare.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Tenten, we can't go back," he suddenly asked.
"What?" Tenten exclaimed in surprise, but quickly realized that they couldn't get up to this deep valley. Even if Konohagakure sent people to rescue them, they wouldn't be able to find them.
Because once you come down, you can't go back up.
Looking up at the darkness above, Tenten suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If Naruto hadn't forcibly taken the Gate of Hades, they would have had no hope of leaving this place.
This deep valley itself is a Sealing Jutsu, sealing away the armies of Land of Water and the Land of Lightning.
Previously, she thought Naruto was simply crazy, even though Lord Jiraiya had warned him not to go near that door, and even that old man had appeared to stop him.
Naruto stubbornly took the door back, and the old man was eventually forced to tell the truth.
"Isn't that old man your clan leader?" Tenten asked in surprise. "Why... why didn't he lift the seal, or even try to help you?"
"Clan leader?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Is the clan leader obligated to risk his life to help me?"
"But..." Tenten was speechless.
Indeed, the clan chief is dead. He died even before the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed; this place is merely a lingering remnant of his spirit, not his true self.
"Now you know my good intentions, right, Tenten?" Naruto patted Tenten on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"I understand, I'm sorry." Tenten blushed slightly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Naruto added another sentence.
"I knew that old man had ill intentions all along. Anyone can talk a good game, but he's all talk and no action. He's full of promises about strengthening the Uzumaki Clan, but he won't even open a door for them."
"How will we grow stronger? By fishing?"
Tenten:"."
She now feels that she still doesn't understand the person in front of her. Over the years, her old friends have matured and become more stable to varying degrees.
For example, the rebellious young Neji has now become gentle and refined. The freedom-loving Shikamaru has settled into a heavy desk, Choji has gotten married.
But this person seems to have never changed much; their original intentions remain unchanged. Some things are really hard to judge; only an orphan would do such a thing.
"What's wrong, Tenten?" Naruto smiled at her.
"It's alright, that clan leader is really awful." Tenten forced a smile, which was rather cute. "So what do we do now?"
Ever since he landed on this Land of Whirlpools Island, the question that Tenten often says is, "Naruto, what do we do?"
The deep valley seemed to possess a life of its own, silently watching the two. Like a lurking monster, it awaited its next hunting opportunity, sending chills down their spines.
"There's no other way now, we have to open the door," he said.
"Open the door?" Tenten subconsciously looked up. The door that was originally embedded in the rock wall had disappeared, leaving an ugly scar.
Jiraiya had warned them not to approach that door without permission.
"What others say isn't necessarily true. Even the Pervy Sage doesn't understand what this gate is," Naruto explained. "Perhaps he doesn't understand it as well as we do."
"There's no other way now, we can only take the risk and try it." Tenten nodded.
Following the old clan leader's instructions, Naruto understood perfectly and immediately released the Gate of Hades. The Gate of Hades, standing five or six meters tall, was truly awe-inspiring.
Immediately, Naruto cut his finger with a kunai and smeared the blood on the gate. Perhaps sensing the blood of a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, the Gate of Hades began to crack and creak as if it had come to life.
The golden light danced across the patterns on the door, like a surging golden carp.
Tenten, she stared nervously at the door, her hands clenched tightly together. She had already experienced the danger this door posed. Even though Naruto seemed confident, she was still unsure if the door could be opened.
Even if you open the door, what lies beyond? Could it be another deserted island, or perhaps an even more dangerous place?
Just as Tenten was feeling uneasy, the door suddenly cracked open.
Naruto, who was opening the door, had a complicated expression on his face, not because opening the door was difficult, but because he finally understood why the old clan leader had such a complicated look on his face when he saw that Naruto had taken the Gate of Hades of the Underworld.
It was a look of shock mixed with a hint of relief, as if he feared both the extinction of his lineage and the excessive rebellion of his descendants, especially if they resembled blond-haired boys.
Upon first use, Naruto discovered that the Gate of Hades was indeed incredibly powerful, allowing him to freely choose his coordinates. The only drawback was that it wasn't precise and could sometimes lead to unexpected problems.
He first located Konohagakure, intending to open the door directly.
A casual glance caught my eye, and I noticed a symbol with a lit sun pattern. Almost instantly, the sun symbol lit up.
Seeing this, Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself.
"What good stuff is this? I have to try it."
At the same time, strange phenomena occurred above the Kumogakure, the Sand, and all the other ninja villages. Golden clouds swirled in the sky, forming a ring.
It was as if a door had opened in the sky, and something was about to fall from it. This sight immediately alarmed the leaders of the various ninja villages, who all put down what they were doing.
Kumogakure.
"What is that?" Samui squinted at the golden ring that suddenly appeared in the sky, a vague sense of unease creeping over him.
"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of summons," the Yugito Nii said casually, leaning against the window. "Let's wait and see, what's the rush?"
"I'm not in a hurry, it's Raikage-sama who should be in a hurry, my shoulders are so sore." Samui rubbed his shoulders and said lazily.
"Really? If your shoulders are sore, wear a bra that won't strain you. Stop complaining." Yugito glanced at her. "After all... we're all traitors."
"That's none of your business. Just mind your own business." Samui's expression changed, and then he turned and left.
Sand.
"Temari- sama! There seems to be a golden ring in the sky outside!" A girl peered out the office window, turned to Temari, and exclaimed in surprise.
"The sky?" Temari put down the documents in her hand, rubbed her eyes, and assumed it was just another girl's prank, so she didn't take it seriously and turned to look out the window.
The windows of the Land of Wind are always covered by sandstorms, except for the window around the girl's eyes, which is clearly bright and was specially cleaned so she could see the scenery.
This is a type of glass that can be opened from the inside to the outside; it has only been installed in the Kazekage Building. Temari glanced around but couldn't see any unusual phenomena outside, and then smiled and said.
"I saw it, it's spectacular."
"It's true! I'm not lying to you, Lord Kazekage! Lord Kazekage is out!" the girl called out anxiously as she turned around.
"Gaara?" Temari frowned upon hearing this, immediately stood up, and quickly walked to the window. "What happened outside?"
Outside the Kazekage Building, Gaara rose into the air, stepping on a sand base. With his gourd on his back and arms crossed, he stared solemnly at the golden halo.
Below were a few scattered Sand Hidden Ninja; it was already the limit for them to gather these few people in such a short time. The shrill alarm echoed over Sunagakure.
"Damn it, what the hell is that?" Kankuro sat on the rooftop, carrying the junk puppet he had picked up from Sasori, gritting his teeth.
After Sasori's death, the puppets were immediately bought back by Sunagakure. After all, the Shinobi World isn't all about fighting and killing; there are also human relationships and considerations.
These Gundam figures are useless if left in other people's hands. It's better to exchange them for money and let Sand recycle them, so as to maximize the profit.
Iwagakure.
The future Kurotsuchi, Kurotsuchi her hands on her hips, stood atop a high point in Iwagakure, a confident smile on her face. She gazed at the golden halo appearing in the distant sky, a slight grin spreading across her lips.
"Is it finally coming? Those scum from Hidden Mist!"
"Hey! What are you doing!" Old man Ōnoki was furious with his granddaughter, looking at the red figure fluttering in the wind high above. "Come down here!"
"Ara ara, old man, you're too nervous." Kurotsuchi turned around confidently with his hands on his hips. "Even if there are enemies, I can take care of them all!"
"She's gone mad! Someone, get her down!"
"Hahaha, old man, you're too cowardly. Hey, why don't you just abdicate!"
The Hidden Mist.
"What is that?" Chojuro stammered, staring at the golden ring-shaped cloud appearing in the gray sky. "Quick! Quickly inform the Mizukage!"
"Chojuro, there's no need to panic." A charming voice appeared, Mei Terumi suddenly appeared by the window with a smile on her face.
"Lord Mizukage! There!"
"I see. It's a small problem. Chojuro, you need to be brave." Mei Terumi stared at Chojuro, making him blush and lower his head.
Mei Terumi squinted her eyes, wearing a sleeveless blue dress, and smiled happily.
"It's no longer the era of the Fourth Mizukage. Hidden Mist is no longer as weak as it used to be. Even if an enemy invades, as the commander, I need to remain calm."
Konohagakure.
"Hmm? In the sky?" Kakashi glanced lazily outside, his pupils dilating slightly. "What's that? It looks like a door."
Kakashi immediately thought of the door that Jiraiya had mentioned, but then he thought it was absurd and that it was probably just a strange sight.
On the rooftop, the Anbu Ninja all looked up at the slowly rotating golden ring clouds in the sky.
On the other side, in the darkness below the deep valley.
"Naruto! What's wrong?" Tenten couldn't help but ask when she saw that Naruto hadn't moved for a while.
"It's nothing. I almost forgot how to use this thing, but I remember now," Naruto replied, his expression quite interesting.
Thinking to himself, "Damn it, so that's how the golden sun is used—to target all ninja villages. This is like a nuclear bomb being dropped! The Land of Whirlpools is planning to drag all the ninja villages down with it."
Naruto kept thinking, "Holy crap!" He thought the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, was already invincible, but he never expected that someone was even more valiant than him. Whose subordinate was this?
He finally understood why the old clan chief had acted so hesitantly, like a shy young woman getting married. Back then, Naruto thought Uzumaki Ashina doubted his bloodline, but now he understood.
Uzumaki Ashina, had this trick up his sleeve at the Gate of Hades. No wonder his expression changed when he heard that he was from Konohagakure, as if his wife had run off to someone else's bed.
"Damn, the old clan chief's strategic vision is exactly the same as the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's idea of using a teleportation device to locate Kumogakure!" Naruto suddenly felt a strange sensation, and now he finally understood where Tobirama Senju's inspiration for that teleportation device came from.
They're a bunch of war fanatics, each one more valiant than the last.
