Hiruzen Sarutobi, You Hokage Are Truly Shameless

Carrying the massive staff that his summoned beast had transformed into, Hiruzen Sarutobi regained his confidence.

"Uchiha Byakuya, today I will definitely deal with you..."

"Let you know the power of the Hokage!..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared, swinging the massive staff and attacking Bai Ye.

Don't underestimate this staff; it was incredibly thick and heavy.

Yet, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands, it was surprisingly agile. He swung it with immense power, a sky-shattering assault aimed at Bai Ye.

Furthermore, the staff could continuously extend and retract, posing a significant threat to Bai Ye for a time.

"Kamui..."

Faced with such an attack, Bai Ye had no choice but to use Kamui.

Dense blurs of the staff passed through Bai Ye's body, leaving him completely unharmed.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, is this the strength of the Hokage you spoke of!? This is truly weak..."

"If the First Hokage and Second Hokage knew the Third Hokage only had this much strength, would they die with their eyes open!?..."

Bai Ye continued to mock Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Damn it, you accursed Uchiha..."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with rage, and a flood of Negative Energy flowed into Bai Ye's hands.

[Felt Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger, +1500 Negative Energy, Taijutsu +90]

"Hiruzen, what's going on!?..."

"The attack clearly hit him, how did he dodge it..."

Even the Monkey King, transformed into the staff, was extremely puzzled that the attack hadn't hit Bai Ye.

As the staff wielded by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Monkey King knew with certainty that the attack had indeed struck Bai Ye.

However, Bai Ye had evaded their attack through some unknown method.

"This is a Space Ninjutsu!..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a grave expression.

"Space Ninjutsu! That's a bit troublesome..."

"Right, Hiruzen, I remember your Second Hokage knew Space Ninjutsu. As his disciple, didn't you learn it?..."

The Monkey King seemed to recall something and asked.

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face flushed. Although he was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu" and proficient in all of Konoha's ninjutsu, he knew absolutely nothing about Space Ninjutsu.

"Ahem, Enma, now is not the time for this. Let's first find a way to break through his Space Ninjutsu!..."

To ease the awkwardness, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly changed the subject.

"Understood, let's continue our assault. All ninjutsu have weaknesses..."

The Monkey King followed suit, and the two of them cooperated, continuing their attack on Bai Ye.

Did Bai Ye's Sharingan, Kamui, have a weakness? Of course, it did.

Just like Obito's Kamui, Bai Ye couldn't stay in the other dimension for extended periods.

Bai Ye could maintain his presence in the other dimension for a maximum of five minutes.

However, it wasn't easy for Hiruzen Sarutobi to force Bai Ye out of the other dimension.

"Hoo hoo... Boom boom..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's attacks continued, but no matter how he attacked, he couldn't harm Bai Ye.

Moreover, with his relentless assault, Hiruzen Sarutobi's stamina was severely depleted, and he was panting heavily.

"Hey, Hiruzen Sarutobi, are you giving up already?..."

"I didn't expect your strength to be so mediocre, and you seem a bit... weak."

Bai Ye continued to mock Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was panting.

"Good opportunity, Ruyi Staff extend..."

Seeing Bai Ye's demeanor, the staff in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand rapidly extended and slammed towards Bai Ye.

"Bang..."

A loud impact sound echoed as the staff fiercely struck Bai Ye.

However, at the critical moment, Bai Ye activated his Susanoo to block the attack.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you are truly shameless, resorting to a sneak attack..."

Bai Ye said with disdain.

Bai Ye finally understood. Hiruzen Sarutobi's earlier display of weakness was a ploy to deceive him and prepare for a sneak attack.

It was fortunate that Bai Ye reacted quickly and activated his Susanoo at the last moment, blocking the attack.

"Deception is the art of war...

Against an enemy like you, there's no need for mercy..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said without a hint of shame.

He only wanted to defeat Bai Ye and reclaim the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. For that goal, what was wrong with using schemes and tricks?

"You are truly shameless... I don't think you should be called the Strongest Hokage, but the Most Shameless Hokage..."

Bai Ye said with disdain. At the same time, with a thought, Susanoo rapidly condensed, transforming into a long sword and slashing towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Block this for me..."

Facing Bai Ye's attack, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately raised the staff in his hand to parry.

"Bang... Boom..."

With a massive collision, the staff in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand successfully blocked Bai Ye's attack.

"He actually blocked it!?"

Bai Ye looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with some surprise.

"Hmph, Enma possesses the Adamantine Body. You cannot break Enma's Adamantine Body..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with great confidence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very confident in the strength of his summoned beast.

He had previously joined forces with his summoned beast many times to defeat countless powerful enemies.

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that together, they could also defeat Bai Ye.

"Is that so? I'd like to see how hard you are..."

"Dojutsu: Futsu-no-Mitama..."

Bai Ye once again controlled Susanoo to raise its long sword and attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This time, Bai Ye not only used the power of Susanoo but also the ability of the Dojutsu Futsu-no-Mitama.

Under the power of the Dojutsu, Bai Ye's seemingly ordinary attack suddenly increased several times over.

"Bang... Ah..."

A massive collision sound, followed by a scream.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt an invincible force rushing towards him. The staff in his hand flew out, and simultaneously, the staff exited its transformed state, reverting to its monkey form.

"This... How is this possible..."

"You actually broke Enma's Adamantine Body..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression quickly changed from confidence to astonishment.

"Enma, are you alright!..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked towards his summoned beast.

"Pfft..."

Enma first spat out a mouthful of blood, then said weakly, "Hiruzen, I can't. All my ribs are broken, I can't fight anymore..."

Enma said briefly and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Enma's injuries were too severe; it could no longer maintain its summoning state.

"Damn it, is this the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?..."

Seeing his summoned beast disappear, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned even uglier, staring at Bai Ye's eyes in disbelief.

Although he knew the Mangekyo Sharingan was incredibly powerful, he hadn't expected it to be this strong, defeating his summoned beast in one move.

Having lost his summoned beast, Hiruzen Sarutobi lost a significant advantage. Coupled with Bai Ye's unpredictable spatial Ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely at a disadvantage.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, your monkey is gone. Now it's your turn..."

As Bai Ye's voice fell, he controlled Susanoo and charged towards Hiruzen Sarutobi again.

"Boom..."

A huge explosion, and countless smoke billowed up.

Is it over?

But when the smoke cleared, there was no trace of Hiruzen Sarutobi anywhere. Only a piece of wood, shattered into fragments, remained.

He escaped? Although his strength isn't much, his speed of escape is quite fast...

As expected of the most shameless Hokage...

Bai Ye thought disdainfully.

As the Hokage of Konohagakure, he abandoned all the Anbu and fled.

What a shameless act!?

Just then, Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He immediately deactivated Susanoo and closed his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"It seems I absolutely cannot overuse my Mangekyo Sharingan before unlocking the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan..."

After the fierce battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Bai Ye's eye power had been severely depleted.

If the fight continued, Bai Ye's body wouldn't be able to take it.

The only way to resolve the side effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan was to unlock the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

With a thought, Bai Ye's status screen appeared before him.

"700k Negative Energy..."

This was Bai Ye's earnings during this period. He wasn't far from one million Negative Energy, and soon he would be able to unlock the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and freely use the power of his eyes.

At the same time, with countless attribute points, Bai Ye's abilities had all been raised to S-rank.

It could be said that Bai Ye was now a complete Kage-level expert, and even among Kage-level experts, he was a top-tier existence.
