Konoha faced another challenge

Aleister is the Board Chairman of Academy City, and his character is incredibly powerful.

He was once recognized as the World's Strongest magician and had lived for over a thousand years.

To achieve his goals, he single-handedly created the current Science Side power and established a complete system for developing individuals with special abilities.

As the ultimate boss who combines the powers of both factions, Aleister possesses extremely terrifying power, but also has a huge, insurmountable flaw.

His consciousness was so powerful that every thought and idea could be infinitely amplified, eventually becoming a vivid and independent personality.

A personality developed based on such a "possibility" is full of contradictions.

On the one hand, his personality is extremely pure and strong, possessing an indomitable determination.

On the other hand, it is also incredibly fragile; as soon as the possibility of the source is denied by the facts, the entire personality will collapse.

In this state of extreme contradiction, Aleister Klaue went mad, becoming an unprecedented super schizophrenic.

In order to maintain his own consciousness, he shut down most of his thinking ability and handed over most of his thinking power to the computer.

However, the mechanization of his consciousness plunged his body into a crisis of collapse. In order to maintain his own life, he went a step further and handed over the operation of his life to machines.

Aleister froze his entire body, including his brain, forcing himself into a state of hibernation.

His rigid and excessive mechanization allowed him to adapt seamlessly to life in the vat, and he didn't mind his unconventional upside-down posture at all.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto and Misaka Shazo especially liked to call him: the Hanging Man.

"Well Hanging Man, now that I'm standing before you, shouldn't we change the terms we discussed earlier?"

Misaka Shazo's verbal tic disappeared because what appeared here was not a modified body, but Shazo's Electromagnetic Force clone.

The clone directly carries the soul, bypassing the limitations of the physical body, and her behavior is closer to that of Shazo in her previous life.

Yes, Shazo has become feminized.

Misaka Shazo smiled and squatted down, waving her hand to Electromagnetic Force to bind her scattered silver hair together, revealing Aleister Klaue's beautiful face.

She exclaimed happily, "She's so beautiful that you can forget about her gender!"

Ignoring Shazo's offense, Aleister calmly stated, "You're right. As the stronger party, you should set the terms."

Misaka Shazo laughed, "Hehe, I like your attitude."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Chairman, I will not take your life or your freedom, nor will I disrupt your goals."

The hibernation of his body and mind stripped Aleister of most of his power, leaving him utterly powerless against the Invincible Esper right before him.

After computer analysis, survival became the top priority, and Aleister, controlled by the machine, signed a shameful humiliating treaty.

Fortunately, Misaka Shazo didn't go too far. She didn't turn him into her slave; she merely stripped him of any power that might threaten her and the Beautiful Girl around her, and plundered half of the Nanomachines "Sky Floating Wires".

Misaka Shazo would never seize Aleister's power; that would be a bottomless pit, a tragedy filled with work that only supercomputers could handle.

What she wanted was very simple: safety of life and happiness in life.

The Ninja World, the Land of Fire, Konoha.

Shazo Zuo lay lazily under the big tree in the yard, enjoying the warm spring sun, but he felt a little troubled.

More than a year has passed since his last return to the Dream Dimension, and he has not yet Dream Dimension. Summer of Konoha year 58 is fast approaching.

The lack of new power and knowledge over a long period of time has significantly slowed Shazo's progress.

Xia Shazo has completely digested the Dugu Nine Swords and integrated it into his own combat system. He is only a little short of completing the fusion of the last Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Genkai Flame Style.

Then the fusion of Kekkei Tōta can begin.

The thought of being able to perform Kekkei Tōta quickly lifted Shazo's spirits. He began to imagine what changes would occur in his body after completing his Kekkei Genkai, and what new tricks he could play with Kekkei Tōta.

Beside Shazo, Uchiha Izumi also closed her eyes to enjoy the warm sunshine, except that she had two wads of cotton stuffed in her ears.

Paper.

Because standing next to Shazo and Quan was the only elder of the Uchiha Clan, Shisui Uchiha.

This man was relentlessly urging Shazo to step forward again and take charge of the overall situation in Konoha.

Konoha, which had just enjoyed three years of peace, is now facing new challenges.

As expected, the challenge still came from Kumogakure) and from the Fourth Raikage A.

In fact, only this ninja village, which retained its strength intact during the Third Shinobi World War, has the confidence to challenge Konoha.

After three years of peace, Konoha recovered its strength quickly, and its economy flourished, leaving Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure far behind.

Only Kumogakure, having preserved its strength in the two most recent major wars and finally completed its initial accumulation, has shown a development speed exceeding that of Konoha.

Beyond economic development, Kumogakure has also seen a surge in talented Ninja over the past three years, surpassing Konoha for the first time in terms of sheer strength, including the total number of Ninja Jonin.

At this moment of celebration, the Fourth Raikage keenly sensed the danger.

The Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire are too far apart in terms of their foundations; both their population capacity and economic potential have reached their limits.

In a few years, the Land of Lightning will become the biggest obstacle to the development of the Hidden Kumogakure.

In other words, Kumogakure wants to continue to develop, the Land of Lightning first needs to expand outwards, acquiring better land and a larger population.

The Raikage therefore wants to start a war!

For the Land of Lightning, the only profitable target for war is the Land of Fire.

Thus, the Ninja of Kumogakure) rallied together to form Ninja Army and once again came to the Land of Hot Water.

Shisui Uchiha's incessant chatter eventually disrupted Shazo's reverie. He tilted his head and said, "Shisui, neither you nor I are the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. The one who currently controls Konoha is the Third Hokage."

"Konoha is in danger, and it's only natural that the Third Hokage should handle the problem. Are you trying to push me out here to seize power?"

Shisui Uchiha stammered, "Huh? Shazo, I only asked you to deal with the threat from Kumogakure, I didn't urge you to seize power."

Shazo scoffed, "Shisui, you're older than me, but you don't understand things at all."

"What do you think power is? Is it the title of Hokage? Is it the appointment of the previous Hokage? Is it the ability inherited from your parents?"

"Neither. Power is the ability to solve problems, and the credibility accumulated after successfully resolving them."
