The Sharingan ocular power born of fusion

Shazo's words silenced the four dead Hokage completely.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, Konoha Sannin of Konoha, frowned, clearly disagreeing with Shazo's words, but they couldn't refute them either.

In the past 40 years, not a single war was started by Konoha, and peace was only achieved after the enemy was defeated and collapsed.

The Third Hokage endured immense humiliation in their pursuit of peace, despite failing to destroy Kumogakure. They too experienced and complained about it.

Therefore, no matter how much they disagreed with Shazo, they couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Shazo expressed his understanding, after all, it's difficult to rebuild one's values when you're older.

Fortunately, Orochimaru, Shisui Uchiha, and Uchiha Izumi all highly recognized and fully supported Shazo.

With the support of these three, Shazo gained the support of the majority. After all, all four Hokage were dead; they had the right to express their opinions, but not the right to choose.

Konoha's policy remained as Shazo had envisioned: they would face future crises on their own.

Shazo said with satisfaction, "Very good. Although Konoha will find it difficult to deal with this alone, we are, after all, Konoha, with profound resources."

"Look, we've gathered 10 Kage-level Ninja here."

"With this kind of roaming force, if they were in the Third Shinobi World War, they could definitely sweep away all the Gyuki, and end the war in eight months at most with a complete victory."

The Kage-level Ninja present immediately burst into laughter.

The Fifth Hokage actually included the dead in his calculations, which is quite impressive.

Even Shazo himself couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry, Konoha is ultimately just a village, and its top-tier combat power is quite limited. There's nothing I can do about disturbing you senior Hokage."

"But that's the reality; I can't trust Ninja from other villages."

"Take Sunagakure as an example. Before the Third Shinobi World War began, they were our allies, but it was their Sneak Attack that ignited the flames of the Third Shinobi World War."

"A few days ago, I deliberately set a trap to lure the Sunagakure. The Fourth Kazekage fell for it and launched an attack against me."

"But have you all considered this question: if it weren't me setting a trap, but an unknown enemy attacking Sunagakure, would the Fourth Kazekage, our ally, stand with Konoha or with Konoha's enemy?"

"You see, that's the problem with forming alliances. I have to devote most of my energy to guarding against my allies, and even to monitoring and protecting them."

"The combined fighting strength of an alliance might not even be as good as facing the enemy alone."

"It's very uncomfortable to feel like your fate is in someone else's hands."

"Therefore, I would rather rely on Konoha, at least that way I can focus all my energy and strength on dealing with the enemy, without having to face the endless troubles that come with forming an alliance, and without having to worry about any ally dropping the ball and killing us."

Hashirama Senju couldn't help but speak up, "But if we don't unite the forces of the Ninja World, they could become our enemies."

Shazo smiled and asked, "I'm not absolutely rejecting allies; I just don't actively seek them out."

"First Hokage, when you brought together the various Ninja Clans of the Land of Fire, did you actually recruit Ninja Clans all into Konoha?"

"Weren't there any bastards who infiltrated Konoha and sabotaged the village from within?"

Hashirama Senju was speechless; these were all true.

Tobirama Senju recalled the dangers of that time. Before Konoha was even named, the village was not much different from the enemy country, and various incidents constantly broke out within the village.

Even his brothers were betrayed and assassinated; his close subordinates were bribed, and girls he fancied poisoned him.

His Big Brother worked closely with Madara Uchiha; one was responsible for checking for dangers within the village and protecting the villagers and Ninja, while the other was outside the village, fiercely retaliating and hunting down every enemy who dared to attack it.

It wasn't until Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha wiped out the opponents of the Land of Fire, until the Ninja Clans, unable to bear the casualties, moved overseas and established Kirigakure) modeled after Konoha Village), and until the Four Great Ninja Villages were established one after another, squeezing Ninja Clans's living space, that everything gradually stabilized.

The Senju Brothers suddenly realized that they, too, had become accustomed to the peaceful environment during the ten years of peace and lost their sensitivity to danger.

So the two of them said nothing more and accepted the Fifth Hokage Shazo's, vision for the future direction of Konoha.

Shazo nodded and continued, "As we all know, the more dangerous the crisis in the Ninja World, the more advanced the forces that can participate."

"All of you here are Kage-level Ninja of Konoha, a pillar of strength to deal with future dangers, and a force that I, as the Fifth Hokage, can trust."

Shazo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Including you, Third Hokage, I believe your love for Konoha is genuine. You'd be willing to fight to protect Konoha even if it meant death, right?"

Having just recovered, Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at his murderous enemy with resentment and coldly snorted, "Hmph, I am the Third Hokage of Konoha. I will fight for Konoha even without you saying so."

"But I will never forgive you!"

Shazo scoffed, "I don't need your forgiveness. Besides, do you think that Hatake Sakumo, Dan Katō- senpai, Fugaku Uchiha would forgive you?"

"Our relationship cannot be changed, but as long as you, Third Hokage, fight for Konoha, I will maintain basic respect for you."

Tobirama Senju reached out and tapped Hiruzen Sarutobi on the head. "Monkey, how dare you refer to yourself as 'this old man' in front of me? You've got some nerve!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, slumped down after being slapped, muttering, "I was much older than you when I died, so why can't I call myself 'this old man'?"

Suddenly, Tobirama Senju laughed, "Alright, stop complaining."

"Think about all the mess you made during your time in power, and the Konoha Ninja who died under your thumb, do you really think you don't deserve to be beaten?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless. When he was alive, he was blinded by power and could neither see nor hear anything. Even if he did see or hear something, he could ignore it with various excuses.

But now that he's dead and can no longer hold power, his eyes have naturally regained their clarity, and he has come to a profound understanding of the magnitude of the mistakes he made in the past.

Despite his words that he would not forgive Shazo, he was actually grateful to Shazo for stopping the Uchiha Clan Massacre, preventing the Kumogakure from invading, and preventing himself from dragging Konoha into the Abyssal One.

Sensing the change in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mindset, Tobirama Senju was pleased. He promised, "Monkey, as long as you fight for Konoha Hokage, you can make amends for your mistakes. Don't you think that's incredibly Luck?"

"As long as you fulfill your duty to protect the village and continuously make contributions, one day you will be able to leave in peace, and the Konoha Ninja will forgive you."

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, said sullenly, "I know, teacher, I understand."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Shazo said again, "Everyone, there is something I must make clear: information about the potential major disaster that may befall the Ninja World in the future must be kept strictly confidential."

The Konoha Ninja all nodded and said, "Understood, we will keep it strictly confidential."

Shazo smiled and said, "Yes, I convened this small meeting of Kage-level Ninja because I trust everyone."

"But the four Hokage of Impure World Reincarnation, you possess a huge weakness— the Pure Land."

"Once you are freed from the Impure World Reincarnation and return to the Pure Land, your souls will be in the hands of the Lord of the Pure Land, and you will not even know that your memories have been examined."

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama looked at each other, and Senju Tobirama asked doubtfully, "You mean, the Pure Land has an owner?"

Shazo nodded and said, "Yes."

Hashirama Senju asked, "Who is the lord of the Pure Land?"

Shazo: "It's Hagoromo Otsutsuki Sage of Six Paths."

Apart from Orochimaru, who had prior knowledge of the information, everyone was startled by this legendary name.

Suppressing his shock, Tobirama Senju asked, "Fifth, how did you know this information?"

Shazo said helplessly, "Second, I can't tell you the source of the information, but I've confirmed its accuracy with the Death God."

Hashirama Senju asked, "Then what should we do?"

Orochimaru stood up and pointed to a device in the corner, saying, "The four Hokage of Impure World Reincarnation using the Impure World Reincarnation technique must undo the Impure World Reincarnation in front of this device so that their corresponding memories can be extracted and temporarily stored here."

"And when I undergo the Impure World Reincarnation later, I will transfer the stored memories back."

Tobirama Senju lowered his eyes in thought, then cautiously asked, "Fifth, are you suspecting that the Sage of Six Paths was also involved in the future disaster?"

Shazo blinked, then nodded heavily. "I do have that suspicion."

He then fabricated an explanation. "Besides the Sage of Six Paths, I also suspect Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, or rather, besides Konoha, I suspect every sufficiently powerful force."

"Therefore, the people I disclose intelligence to must possess the strength and intelligence I can trust, and be able to protect themselves and the security of the intelligence."

Hashirama Senju's expression was more serious than ever before. He said earnestly, "Fifth, you did the right thing. I will dispel the Impure World Reincarnation here."

Tobirama Senju sighed, "Don't worry, I can do it too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously, but said nothing.

Minato Namikaze asked pitifully, "Fifth, can I stay a few more days? I want to see Naruto Uzumaki and see how he's doing."

Shazo explained with a smile, "No, it's not about stripping away the memories now, but rather about dispelling the Impure World Reincarnation here."

"Fourth Hokage, you have plenty of time to watch Naruto and also to see how Konoha develops."

"Just don't expose yourself to other Ninja for now."

Minato Namikaze was overjoyed. "That's great! I misunderstood. I'm relieved now."

The meeting ended amidst laughter.

The Konoha Ninja were all busy with their own affairs, and soon dispersed.

Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju were busy with experiments and teaching, so Hiruzen Sarutobi went with them. His current task was to get beaten up by his teacher.

Hashirama Senju and Tsunade were busy with medical research, Shisui Uchiha was carrying out Shazo's mission, Uchiha Izumi was busy with the Uchiha's business ventures.

Jiraiya accompanied Minato Namikaze to visit Naruto Uzumaki.

Shazo Zuo returned to his home, took out the blood of Shisui Uchiha and Kaguya Kimimaro, and hesitated whether to develop the Sharingan first or Awakening the Shikotsumyaku first.

The failed attempt to hunt down Uchiha Itachi and the failed attempt to intercept Obito Uchiha intensified Shazo's burning desire for power, and his previous idea of taking a break vanished.

The brief "exile" by the black mist, in particular, filled Shazo with unease.

That might be because Kaguya Otsutsuki's power is too strong; he still has no idea how to break through it, so he can only focus on continuing to pursue the last two Kekkei Genkai.

He hoped that the speculation about the Kekkei Genkai of the three major organs in the final chapter of "The <Five Spirits Battle True Interpretation>" was true.

Once he completes the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Shikotsumyaku, he will be able to open the path to the Kekkei Mōra Limit.

Only by surpassing the power Super Kage Level and mastering the power of Sage of Six Paths Level cultivator can one possibly become immune to Black Zetsu's power control and prevent a humiliating death.

Shazo looked at the two vials of blood in front of him and made his choice.

His bones remain unchanged, but his Pineal Gland had already undergone significant changes before today, showing signs of transforming into an eye.

Strike while the iron is hot. Shazo selected Shisui Uchiha's blood, then quickly left home and rushed to the Valley of the End training grounds.

Inside the training room, he opened a test tube, poured Shisui Uchiha's blood into his palm, and applied a small amount to his forehead.

Just as Shazo was circulating his Chakra, absorbing Shisui Uchiha's blood into his body, he came into contact with the Nature Transformation Chakra of Wind Style, Lightning Release, and Fire Style.

The three different types of Chakra immediately fused together upon contact with Shisui's blood, forming a completely new, extremely violent, and uncontrollable Chakra.

Just as the Chakra was about to get out of control, Shazo channeled the Yin Release Chakra he had prepared beforehand, enveloping the newly formed Chakra.

In an instant, the raging Chakra calmed down and merged with the Yin Release Chakra that was enveloping it, Nature Transformation into unprecedented power in a second form.

The moment Shazo sensed this new power, he almost lost control and started shouting.

This is the power of the Sharingan!

Moreover, it's not your average Sharingan power.

The power of the Sharingan with Single Tomoe, Futatsudomoe, or even Three-Tomoe Sharingan is not comparable to this newly generated power.

Even though the Mangekyō Sharingan powers of Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Izumi were comparable to those of Shazo in terms of raw power, there was still a significant difference in their perception.

Shazo's pupil power has a strong sense of taming, and controlling it feels like using one's own limbs.
