Resolution and Changes

On a small plain outside Konoha.

Rings of energy ripples spread outward from a certain area.

Even the resilient grass on flat ground was flattened by the wind.

The nearby death was also affected; leaves rustled wildly, and animals and insects in the forest scurried about in a daze—a truly astonishing sight.

Needless to say, in the nearby area, dust Sha Tu were blown by the wind and unknowingly entered the mouths of the three Sunagakure members.

Kankuro had just opened his mouth wide when he accidentally swallowed a huge mouthful, and now he was spitting it out wildly, but he couldn't get it all out.

Baki and Temari were utterly shocked.

Even without the Fifth Hokage's intervention, many Jonin from Konoha stepped forward, unleashing a barrage of unimaginable killing moves, and seemingly without much effort, they defeated the One-Tails Shukaku.

"Konoha is really too powerful..." Baki squinted, trying his best to shield his eyes from the sandstorm.

Thirty years ago, the rivalry between the two countries was a close contest.

But now it's on a completely different level. "Where does the village's way out lie?"

Before the three could think any further, a black shadow slid across the ground like an arrow, easily striking their shadows from behind.

"I can't move my body! This technique is..." Temari trembled, unable to control herself, and assumed a strange posture with one hand raised and the palm hooked down.

"The Shadow Imitation Technique secret technique passed down through the Nara Clan Konoha!"

Nara Shikaku appeared behind the three and chuckled, "My son told me that you seemed to have met the Kazekage's children once before."

"So that's their identity. I'll pry their heads off later."

Beside him, Yamanaka Inoichi chimed in, "The war is almost over."

Just then, a cloud of smoke suddenly burst forth from the now quiet audience seats.

However, since many powerful Jonin were in the vicinity of the battle with the One-Tail Beast, no one had noticed the unusual situation there yet.

With the Four Violet Flames Formation, many powerful Shadows could easily see and sense the commotion created by Shukaku, and the powerful impact of the Day Tiger was even more obvious.

"Is that Might Guy?" the Third Hokage asked in surprise.

"I never imagined he had mastered the Eight Gates Formation to such a degree!"

"The young people in the village have completely taken up the mantle of the older generation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply; the current state of Konoha filled him with immense relief.

Entrusting the village to Shuichi and the others was the best decision he ever made.

Shuichi grinned. "Konoha is at its strongest in history right now."

"My Lord Hokage, you will inevitably suffer some injuries in the coming days. Please don't blame me for not controlling myself properly."

"Hahaha, I'm so happy to see the village in its current state after being resurrected!" Hashirama Senju laughed heartily.

"Young Hokage, hurry up and take action! Send us back to where we belong. You definitely have the ability."

As you wish!

Shuichi closed his eyes for a second, and when he opened them again, his star-like golden eyes were fixed on the front, his blue mask was gorgeous and elegant, and the infinite power within him seemed to be about to burst out.

Sage Mode, activated!

BOOM!

Three Shadow Clone appeared beside Shuichi.

One of them held out his hands, and the surging water swirled and gathered like a pale blue tornado.

Once the giant water mass had accumulated enough, jets of water shot out continuously from the center.

Sage Art · Water Release · Water Wave!

Thump thump thump thump--

The thick, powerful jets of water stretched on and on, truly a human cannon.

Each time water hits the Gold Dust wall, its weight sweeps away a large portion, and after a while, it seems to be completely penetrated...

Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Walls!

The Third Hokage opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of mud, which then spread out and formed a multi-layered earthen wall in front of him.

The First Hokage also bit his finger and, with a single slap, summoned the Triple Rashomon, almost splitting the Barrier in two to prevent the water column from attacking him again.

Another Shadow Clone Shuichi raised his hand and Hand Seals.

Countless Lightning Arrow spewed from his mouth, as magnificent as fireworks, shooting wildly towards the opposite position.

If Sasuke were here, he would probably be dumbfounded. How come his signature Lightning Release Ninjutsu is treated like it's worthless?

Please, Great Sage, quickly retract your supernatural powers!

Whoosh whoosh--

Endless Lightning Arrow easily pierced the Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, rapidly destroying Rashomon. The threat enveloped them in the blink of an eye, forcing the First Hokage and Second Hokage to reorganize their defenses.

The Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence and the Water Wall continued unabated, and the commotion within the Four Violet Flames Formation never ceased from the beginning.

The Barrier walls were already on the verge of collapse, Sound Four, despite their immense physical exhaustion, activated their State Two.

Rasa, who had been forcibly controlled, suddenly found himself able to speak because Orochimaru's control had loosened.

But he had absolutely no idea what to say; he was utterly horrified.

Although it is not in the desert,

He had all the Gold Dust on his body, but the Gold Dust, which he had focused on for defense, was forcibly depleted by Ninjutsu.

What exactly is that creature on the other side?!

As for the spectators, Xiang and the others were practically turned into mentally impaired children, only able to stare blankly at the devastating scene.

If a time traveler were here, they would definitely be unable to resist making sarcastic remarks.

Are you even a ninja anymore?

It's clearly the main combat plane from the Raiden game.

Or perhaps it's one of the perpetual motion plants from Plants vs. Zombies?

They're playing URF mode from start to finish!

The First Hokage's Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence continued to activate, quickly filling the vast Barrier space.

Seeing that the Shuichi's remaining Shadow Clone attacked again.

Explosion Release: Infinite Big Bang!

A large, inconspicuous clump of dirt crashed into the Sea of Trees, instantly creating countless small explosions.

It blasted a large passage in front of them, and at the same time, a large number of ice Kunai scattered out, covering the area inside the Barrier.

With a flick of his Shuichi sheathed the Roaring Sword and charged towards the figures like an arrow released from a bow.

Within the field of vision,

The three Hokage stood ready for battle, their fighting spirit heightened.

Seeing the countless ice crystals on the ground, they understood that these were all the coordinates for the Flying Thunder God's movement, and instinctively tensed their bodies.

Sure enough, Shuichi vanished in a flash halfway through, but the Hokage didn't see him at all.

It was the Second Hokage, with their superior reaction and perception, who noticed something was wrong first.

Turning his head, Rasa, with several Black Rods stuck in his body, slowly collapsed.

Before they could react, taking advantage of Tobirama's distraction and the instant the three Hokage broke their cover,

A Shadow Clone suddenly appeared in front of the Third Hokage and threw a punch.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nimbly retreated to avoid it.

Another person suddenly appeared from behind him, and two ice spikes pierced his head and abdomen with lightning speed.

The Third Hokage, who was still conscious, was completely unable to move; it was a strange feeling, as if even his soul was frozen.

"It really is Yin-Yang Release! Even the Impure World Reincarnation Body is powerless against it!"

The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru, who controlled them, understood everything perfectly.

Although it's unclear why Shuichi start, his level of skill is finally being revealed.

Swish!

Senju Tobirama activated the Flying Thunder God and disappeared.

Orochimaru's talismans allow them to combine their own experience and instincts to fight rationally.

The Second Hokage is indeed operating according to this mechanism now, because if he had actually encountered Shuichi during his lifetime, the most reasonable tactic would have been to escape, run, and stall for time...

The white-haired figure flickered around within the Barrier, clearly not wanting Shuichi get close and catch him, even though his chakra was being depleted extremely quickly.

Shuichi's expression remained calm as his mind raced, recording all of Tobirama's surgical arrangements.

At a certain moment, Shuichi suddenly crouched down and simultaneously activated the Flying Thunder God Technique with the Second Hokage.

The two appeared at a short distance apart, facing each other with their backs to each other.

With his chakra ready, he quickly reached for his waist.

Holding the Silver Pistol to his ear, he aimed it backward, activated his Explosion Release, and fired—bang!

The bullet, ground from Black Rods, was fired instantly, whizzing past the Second Hokage's shoulder with a soft "whoosh."

The impact of the flat-nosed bullet spread from a single point to a wide area, leaving a hole in his entire shoulder and half of his chest; there was no way to run anymore...

Half a minute later.

Shuichi looked at the fallen First Hokage with some surprise. The other man also had Black Rods stuck in his body. He was surprised that he could defeat the God of Shinobi so quickly.

"First Hokage, even if you didn't have your peak strength, you shouldn't be like this now..." Shuichi asked.

Has he regained self-control?

"That's right, the young Hokage."

The First Hokage laughed, "That guy named Orochimaru just now let go of the restraints, so it was easy for me to break free."

"He might have other objectives in this operation, so hurry up and seal me away. With Hokage as strong as you protecting the village, I have nothing left to regret."

"Then I'll have to offend you!" Shuichi said politely.

The Black Rods was pulled out and the talisman was affixed, then wrapped with a large amount of sealing paper, and the four mummies lay neatly in place.

The Sound Four, unaware that they had been betrayed by their leader, were suddenly struck by a violent tremor as the Four Violet Flames Formation was forcibly broken with a "pop".

The purple figures flashed out in quick succession, and the four people were struck and knocked unconscious almost simultaneously.

Upon discovering the battle was over, Elephant Squad rushed over, "Lord Hokage..."

"Yes, it's all over now!" Shuichi smile.

He put the straw hat back on and said to Mei Terumi beside him:

"This unexpected incident has disturbed our distinguished guests; it is an oversight on the part of Konoha, and we apologize for the embarrassing situation."

"Not at all, Lord Hokage, you're too kind. The changes in the Ninja World are always unpredictable." Mei Terumi slowly exhaled.

"Your village's performance this time has truly broadened my horizons, especially Lord Hokage's strength; calling you the God of Shinobi wouldn't be an exaggeration."

"Haha, you flatter me. I'm still far from perfect." Shuichi said, emphasizing the importance of humility.

Just then, faint chakra fluctuations emanated from a distant point in the southeast, undetectable to anyone but a ninja with exceptional sensory abilities.

Shuichi immediately said to everyone, "Excuse me, because of what happened to the village, I must excuse myself for a moment..."

"Xiang, regarding the cleanup measures, pass on my orders; I will return soon."

"Yes!"

He narrowed his eyes, then vanished from the spot with a Flying Thunder God Technique, disappearing without a trace...

In the forest,

Two figures, one in front and one behind, were moving at an astonishing speed.

As they passed through the dense forest and arrived at a waterfall, two Kunai flew out one after the other at an unknown angle, collided with a clang, and landed not far apart.

These Kunai are so similar, and both have spell markings on their handles: a snake on the left and Uchiha Crest on the right.

Swish!

Two figures flashed out at the same time.

Orochimaru a comatose boy slung over his shoulder, smirked and looked over with a wicked smile.

"Now no one will bother us here, Itachi! Heh heh heh..."
