Sakura Haruno had countless fantasies about her life as a ninja.
She thought that after graduation, she could grow up quickly, become a Chunin, then a Jonin, and finally marry Sasuke, giving birth to the child she loved most.
Then you can watch your child grow up.
And now, in this Chūnin Exams...
Despite her nervousness, Sakura Haruno believed this was the first step towards her life plan, and she was determined to achieve her perfect life starting with becoming a Chunin.
But she never expected that her first step in life would seem to have gone wrong!
First came the mountain-sized Shukaku, and then the toad that was just as big as the Shukaku that Naruto summoned.
Although Gawain quickly swatted the toad away, Sakura Haruno hadn't even had time to break free from the battle with the Sand Ninja before she couldn't help but look towards the Forest of Death at the edge of the village, along with her enemy!
At this moment, most people in the village, like Sakura Haruno, involuntarily stopped what they were doing.
Even those caught up in the war were now so captivated that they lost all will to fight.
Gazing into the distance, Sakura Haruno murmured to herself in disbelief.
"What is that... what is that?!"
"It's the legendary secret technique of the First Hokage. If I remember correctly, its name should be... Top Transformed Buddha!"
Beside him, Kakashi Hatake muttered the answer to himself. He had only heard of this ninjutsu from his father, and this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes!
Back then, when his father killed the children of the Sand Village elders and became a hero in the village.
Kakashi Hatake once proudly asked his father how far he was from becoming the strongest ninja in the Shinobi World.
Faced with Kakashi Hatake's question, Sakumo Hatake smiled and shook his head, saying...
"It should be able to withstand a slap from the Top Transformed Buddha."
"The Top Transformed Buddha, what kind of ninjutsu is that? Can I learn that kind of ninjutsu?"
"Only Wood Release can use such a ninjutsu; it's a true secret technique that only the First Hokage ever used!"
Because of this conversation, Kakashi Hatake always remembered the name "Top Transformed Buddha".
Only now does Kakashi Hatake finally understand why his father's smile seemed so forced in the past.
Even at his peak, did his father truly believe he could withstand a slap from the Top Transformed Buddha?
Only now, when I finally saw the Top Transformed Buddha, did I realize it.
It turns out this Buddha Form has so many palms...
Not far from Kakashi Hatake, Guy froze for a moment, then kicked his opponent to death.
Who told the opponent to be stunned?
After defeating his opponent, Guy approached Kakashi Hatake, clenching his fists with concern.
"Over there... that's the Third Hokage and the newest Hokage's assistant facing off together, right?"
Are you sure they can really defeat that kind of power?
If all else fails, perhaps today will be the day I burn myself out!
Kakashi Hatake, take care of the village, I need to go there...
"Etc!"
Kakashi Hatake was stunned by Guy's words, and he looked at his old friend in surprise.
Do my old friends really believe in the power of the Eight Gates?
In the distance, there seemed to be a power so immense it could shatter even the sky—a power far beyond what mortals could imagine!
Even so, Kakashi Hatake believed that Gawain could handle it, since Gawain also had space-time ninjutsu. Even if he couldn't win, Gawain could run away!
So, although Kakashi Hatake felt that Guy was a bit too eager to sacrifice himself, Kakashi Hatake still grabbed Guy and said something to him.
"We are Jonin, so we should do what Jonin are supposed to do."
The Assistant Lord has already dealt with the Tailed Beast of the Sand Village. As long as we hold off the remaining ninja, the village will not suffer any damage.
We must trust our mentors!
"Oh, and of course we must also trust the three generations of masters!"
At this point, Kakashi Hatake shook his head, then opened his Sharingan and looked expectantly into the distance.
How will that mysterious figure deal with this unconventional ninjutsu?
Just as Kakashi Hatake was speculating, Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but spit his cigarette onto the ground.
"Can Gawain and the old man really handle that kind of thing?"
"I don't know, but don't call the Third Generation Elder 'old man,' even if he is indeed your father!"
Kurenai roared at Asuma fiercely, then continued to cast genjutsu, controlling the wounded and wailing villagers, who were then packed up and sent to Konoha Hospital by the Chunin present.
Meanwhile, in the distance...
Facing the towering Buddha Form, which stood like a mountain, Gawain raised his hands and slapped them hard in Tobirama Tobirama's incredulous gaze.
"Even without any special magic, I can still use this Wood Release."
Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha!!!
Boom!!!
The sight of the second colossal Buddha Form rising from Tobirama ground left Tobirama speechless, his mouth agape in disbelief.
He can even use his older brother's most proficient ninjutsu with ease?
In the years since my death, Konoha has produced such an amazing successor?
Most importantly, his eyes aren't those of an inherently evil Uchiha!!!
Etc...
Wood Release!
This is... this is the bloodline of the Senju clan!
Could this child in front of me be Tsunade brother?
If you think about it, considering how mature the monkey looks, Tsunade's younger brother should indeed be growing up by now!
Excited, Tobirama looked expectantly into the distance; he was no longer worried about Konoha's safety.
The Fifth Hokage of Konoha actually possesses power comparable to his elder brother, so what is there to fear? As long as the inherently evil Uchiha doesn't cause any trouble, then this generation of Konoha can only be described with two words.
Invincible!!!
Beside Tobirama, Minato Namikaze stared in astonishment at the two colossal Buddha Form standing opposite each other in the distance.
"Wait, let me think about it."
The First Hokage, and then the Fifth Hokage, were all ridiculously strong.
Although the Second and Third Hokage did not possess that kind of domineering power, they were both remarkably intelligent inventors and ninjutsu experts.
So out of the five Hokage, it seems like only I am... um...!
Minato Namikaze suddenly felt like crying; he felt like he was holding everyone back...
Just as Minato Namikaze was wallowing in self-pity, Orochimaru suddenly appeared beside Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze, who was lost in thought, was startled by Orochimaru. He couldn't help but reach out and instinctively try to grab Orochimaru by the neck.
Orochimaru waved his hand, and Minato Namikaze was immediately immobilized.
At the same time, Tobirama realized that this suddenly appearing effeminate young man was probably the culprit whom the Fourth Hokage knew... the one who controlled him and the others.
Then, Tobirama spoke with a cold expression.
"Has the decision been made before us? Are you feeling lost about the future?"
"That's true. Hmph, after witnessing that kind of power, you should understand that once figures like my brothers appear, the outcome of all wars in the Shinobi World will no longer be decided by us!"
"Indeed, Second Hokage."
Amidst Tobirama's sarcastic remarks, Orochimaru let out a leisurely sigh.
"Even though I used the body of the Fourth Kazekage to Impure World Reincarnation the First Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the power that the First Hokage can exert now has reached the limit of what he can use."
However, the True Several Thousand Hands summoned by the First Hokage are much, much smaller Koby those summoned by the so-called Hokage.
In this way, Konoha has truly produced an extraordinary successor. No wonder the master promoted this young man to the position of assistant to the Hokage on the spot.
The same ninjutsu, but different in scale; it's clear that the First Hokage is about to lose.
"After the failure of the previous successor, I'm afraid I really won't have the chance to do anything more!"
At this point, Orochimaru nodded to Minato Namikaze and smiled.
"But even if I don't have the chance to realize my plans, I don't want to be trapped here."
Minato Namikaze, before today, I had actually reincarnated as an unconscious version of you, leaving behind some Flying Thunder God marks in my village.
After the first generation ends, take me away from here.
I was ultimately arrogant, and I also underestimated the influence that genius can bring.
Even without me, Konoha Village doesn't seem destined to descend into decadence as I had imagined...
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru forcibly took over Minato Namikaze's consciousness and quickly communicated with the Flying Thunder God mark left in the Otogakure laboratory.
Meanwhile, in the Forest of Death.
The two, one large and one small, each possessed True Several Thousand Hands, and launched an unparalleled attack on each other!
The earth was instantly torn apart, and smoke quickly rose to the height of the clouds.
With a deafening explosion, Konoha Village seemed to have been hit by an earthquake, and a considerable number of houses collapsed!
And after the smoke cleared...
Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands were reduced to a pile of wreckage, leaving only Gawain's Thousand- Thousand-Handed Buddha still sitting there.
In the air, Hashirama's Impure World Reincarnation form slowly reassembled, and he nodded appreciatively at Gawain, who smiled despite the pain.
"This is the future I've always dreamed of, haha! We old folks should be like burning firewood, bringing light to future generations. And future generations should be like you, perfectly inheriting everything from us old folks, and surpassing us as well as you are today!"
How exciting! My vision of Konoha Village.
Kid, the guy controlling me doesn't seem to be forcing me to keep fighting, so how about we talk? Let's talk about everything that's happened in recent years.
How is Tsunade doing now? Did he have a child with you? Was it a boy or a girl?
And also, how is the Uchiha doing now? If a powerful guy like you appears, shouldn't there also be a destined figure among the Uchiha? Are the Uchiha alright? Do they still hate Madara, or hate Tobirama and me?
Tell me quickly, I'm afraid I don't have much time left.
"Etc."
Responding to Hashirama's anxious urging, Gawain raised his hand and spoke.
"We'll have plenty of time to chat later, Hashirama. As for now, the guy who summoned you is probably planning to run away."
I need to subdue him first, then we can have a proper talk.
Of course, it would have been great if, back then, I had more than just you, Ashura, to chat with; your father, that bastard, would have been there too!
At this point, Gawain suddenly clapped his hands.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
The next instant, Minato, who was in the distance planning to Minato Namikaze with Tobirama and Orochimaru, suddenly felt a kick in his butt.
After one kick.
Thump!
Minato Namikaze landed on the ground in shock, finding himself still in the Forest of Death.
"I can't believe it," Tobirama said incredulously Tobirama he fell with him.
"It can reverse the space-time ninjutsu of Flying Thunder God within the realm of space-time!"
Damn it, the Shinobi World has developed so quickly in the years since I died?
It's simply unbelievable!
"That's unbelievable, I think I messed up..."
Orochimaru, who had fallen onto the dripping floor, slowly stood up and looked at Hashirama and Gawain, who emerged from the black hole, with a cold smile.
"But if you think winning is that easy, you're definitely overthinking it, junior!"
"Let's do it!"
Orochimaru shouted and urged Hashirama to continue attacking Gawain, but Gawain suddenly slapped the air.
"Quiet!"
After the sound, Gawain's pupils suddenly dilated, then rippled outwards in waves.
"That's... the Rinnegan?!?"
Tobirama grew increasingly dazed; at this moment, the most intelligent Hokage seemed more like a fool than the less intelligent Hokage.
After Gawain's pupils completely changed, he suddenly raised his right hand and shouted sharply.
"The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
As Gawain's voice rang out, Hashirama two stared blankly at their bodies.
Their bodies, Impure World Reincarnation functioned like machines and were devoid of consciousness, were now genuinely feeling the warmth of the sunlight!
In the distance, Hiruzen, who was rushing towards this place, stopped in a Hiruzen.
Jiraiya was single-mindedly focused on subduing Orochimaru, also stopped.
"That's... the Rinnegan!!!"
Could it be that Gawain's true identity is actually my former disciple... Nagato?
No, that's impossible! The Great Toad Sage himself confirmed Gawain's identity!
Wait, now is not the time to think about these things.
The crucial thing now is... damn it!!!
The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage...
It actually came back to life completely!!!
Amid Jiraiya's indescribable exclamation, Gawain couldn't help but frown.
Even with his cellular activity, the thought of reviving a few people would still cause him some discomfort.
Resurrection is indeed the most difficult thing.
Looking at the three Hokage beside him who had completely lost control, Orochimaru showed a blank expression for the first time.
"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven..."
Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven...!
This is a legendary ninjutsu that truly triumphs over life and death! This is... this is the true essence of immortality!!!
Amidst Orochimaru's cheers, Tobirama first clenched his fist in disbelief, then suddenly reached out and slammed Orochimaru to the ground!
"That damned effeminate brat, that born evil trash, how dare you control me to attack my village!!!"
Brother, go and ask that younger generation if they can revive your sister-in-law.
If not, then this time you should at least keep trying to expand the Senju family line!
This time, hahahahaha!
This time, our world won't have that inherently evil Madara Uchiha!
Hahahaha!!!
Tobirama was that rational. Since the other side had forcibly revived them without their request, should they then stand on moral high ground and condemn the other side for breaking the balance between life and death?
What kind of balance is this? I'm already alive, do you expect me to commit suicide and return to the Pure Land?
Right now, I should be seeking revenge on those trash from the Kumogakure clan!
Damn Six Paths Ninja Tools, damn First Encounter Kill!
You guys are really damned!!!
