Zabuza looked at Yuki Haku and asked, "Haku, how much time has passed?" In his perception, the battle should have lasted for 30 minutes.
Yuki Haku looked at Zabuza, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Three seconds have passed. What's wrong, Lord Zabuza?"
Zabuza's heart Zabuza a beat. He had thought thirty minutes would be a long time, but he hadn't expected that Uchiha Kō's Genjutsu had only lasted 3 seconds in reality. 3 seconds was enough to kill him!
If Uchiha Kō had cast Genjutsu on him for a whole day in the real world, he might have been beaten into an idiot, right?
He looked at Uchiha Kō with awe and fear in his eyes, while Uchiha Kō smiled and looked at Zabuza: "Not bad. To last thirty minutes against me and to unleash that unexpected strike, that's quite impressive!"
Zabuza knelt on one knee. "Lord Hokage, I am well aware of my own strength. To Lord Hokage, it may be like a child's punch, but to me, your Lord Hokage is like a god's!"
This wasn't him lying; it was the truth. For some reason, the punch that Uchiha Kō had just delivered, fueled by his burning red blood energy, had caused him to tremble from the depths of his soul.
He had a deep, unsettling feeling that this punch would severely injure him!
Uchiha Kō waved his hand. "Alright, now that you have your own Ninja Blade and have sparred with me, is there anything else?"
Uchiha Kō still admired Zabuza. In the original story, this guy had both hands broken and his Chakra exhausted. In order to prevent Haku from being trampled by Gato, he went up with Kunai in his mouth!
Not only did they break through the encirclement of numerous warriors, but they also routed them, clearing a path to Gato!
Zabuza forcefully killed Gato, and finally collapsed to his knees, exhausted. When Uchiha Kō first saw this scene, he was moved to tears!
Zabuza shook his head. He was already overjoyed to be able to join Konoha and receive a wealth of mission resources, not to mention that Uchiha Kō had bestowed upon him the Executioner's Kubikiribōchō and personally sparred with him.
The battle just now might have been nothing more than a minor skirmish for Uchiha Kō, but for Zabuza, it was a very rewarding experience!
Uchiha Kō's fighting style made him realize his shortcomings and deepened his understanding of swordsmanship! He was confident that he could take the step of becoming Kage Level shinobi within three years.
Uchiha Kō nodded. "In that case, Zabuza step back. Although the Genjutsu battle didn't cause any physical damage to you."
"But it's still very mentally taxing. Go back and get some sleep. Also, this is your reward for this mission." With that, Uchiha Kō tossed out a scroll.
Zabuza aback. He hadn't expected that he, a mere relegated Uchiha Itachi and the others.
He took the scroll, feeling a warmth in his heart. He didn't open it immediately, out of respect for the Hokage Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō shook his head helplessly. In fact, he didn't care about those so-called etiquettes, but he couldn't help it. No matter who it was, they all bowed and showed him respect.
"Here's three billion as payment for your operation. Also, you've just arrived in Konoha and will need money for everything. If this three billion isn't enough, contact me anytime, and I'll arrange a loan for you," Uchiha Kō said with a smile.
Zabuza shook his head. "That's enough, Lord Hokage! Do you know of any vacant or currently for sale houses in Konoha? Haku and I would like to go buy one."
Uchiha Kō nodded. This amount of money was indeed enough to buy a house, and as for daily life, Haku clearly had culinary skills, so it shouldn't cost much.
After buying the house, you'll probably save a lot of money! Uchiha Kō waved his hand, and the two left.
As the two left, Uchiha Kō breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and murmured, "If I had known, I would have told Lu Ming not to be so extravagant!"
At the same time, he enjoyed the comfort of the chair and fell asleep without realizing it.
After an unknown amount of time, when Uchiha Kō awoke, he frowned and sensed that Ryūchi Cave was sending him a message. So he went into the forest, opened the scroll, and summoned Manda.
Manda appeared somewhat terrified, its eyes turning bloodshot as it lunged at Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō frowned, wondering why the Manda brothers were behaving this way!
However, since he's not awake, let's beat him awake first! Uchiha Kō activated Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode, Golden Scale Armor appeared on his body, radiating supreme dragon pressure, and purple facial makeup appeared on both sides of his jawline.
With purple eyeshadow in his eyes and his pupils transformed into vertical serpentine pupils, Manda's chaotic, bloodthirsty thoughts were significantly suppressed after sensing the aura of the Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode.
With a wave of his hand, Uchiha Kō unleashed a palm Natural Chakra, pressing Manda firmly to the ground!
The Manda roared, but after sensing the aura and Natural Chakra of Uchiha Kō, it regained its senses, its pupils slowly focused, and its previously chaotic and violent aura gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kō released Manda and asked, "Brother Manda, what exactly happened? Ryūchi Cave sent me a message? And as soon as you came out, you were with..."
Uchiha Kō didn't continue speaking, but simply looked at Manda, waiting for his reply.
Manda his teeth. "Xiao, something's happened! Ryūchi Cave has been invaded by outsiders!"
Uchiha Kō immediately became serious and asked, "Where is the White Snake Sage? How is she? And what about the snake sages of Ryūchi Cave?"
Manda shook his head. "There's no time to explain, hurry up! Ryūchi Cave is at a critical juncture, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you a message!"
Uchiha Kō knew the situation was urgent, so he Teuchi and explained, "Wife, the White Snake Sage has been kind to me, and I can't leave it unpaid."
Tsunade was initially worried, but then she remembered her husband's personality—he was the kind of person who would repay a debt of gratitude and avenge a wrong!
To avoid arousing Uchiha Kō's suspicion, she took a deep breath and smiled, "Okay, come back soon! My invincible husband!"
Uchiha Kō smiled slightly, hummed in agreement, and then hung up the phone.
Tsunade looked at the phone after it was disconnected, feeling a little disappointed. But just then, Tsunade suddenly felt a message from Shikkotsu Forest!
Tsunade's expression changed. The incident at Ryūchi Cave was already puzzling enough, but now that Shikkotsu Forest was also in trouble, it meant that this was not an operation targeting just one family!
Jiraiya was writing his ninja chronicle somewhere in Konoha when a message came from Mount Myoboku: "Mount Myoboku is in mortal danger! Little Jiraiya, return immediately!"
Upon receiving the news, Jiraiya hardened. He immediately put away the unfinished book and then used Summoning Technique.
Summoning Gamabunta, Gamabunta was fighting a bloody battle, he was momentarily stunned when he was teleported to the Ninja World.
Upon seeing Jiraiya, it suddenly understood. Without saying much, it placed Jiraiya and said, "Thank you for your help, Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya shook his head. "The Great Toad Sage is looking for me, how could I possibly sit idly by and ignore him!"
Gamabunta's lips curled up, which is why so many Toad had a good relationship with Jiraiya.
Because this man has a heroic spirit; if a friend is in trouble, he must come to help!
Meanwhile, Tsunade also went to Shikkotsu Forest and left a note at home. At this time Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Rou should still be out shopping!
Uchiha Kō arrived at Ryūchi Cave, and his first action was to look around! Then, a twitch appeared on his lips. Damn, why is the forest surrounding Ryuchi Ryūchi Cave now completely barren?
He once practiced the Inorganic Reincarnation here, so why are some of these trees burned and others cut down?
Manda also spoke up, "Brother Xiao, hold on tight! The immortals are currently engaged in a fierce battle; I'll take you to lend a hand!"
Uchiha Kō snapped out of his daze, nodded emphatically, and the next moment Manda moved swiftly, rushing towards the place with the strongest Chakra fluctuations in this world.
The White Snake Sage did not transform into his true form at this moment, but instead remained in human form. He simultaneously unleashed the Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art, sending nine white dragons rushing out towards a figure.
The figure simply waved his hand, and Tagorihime rushed towards the white immortal's Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art.
The White Snake Sage gritted his teeth and finally released the Nine Dragons Shining Heaven Art. But Tagorihime did not stop. She spat out venomous fangs and stabbed at the White Snake Sage.
The White Snake Sage raised his right hand and activated the Inorganic Reincarnation. The earth trembled instantly, and a stone wall rose from the ground, blocking Tagorihime's attack!
At the same time, the White Snake Sage Immortal stared intently at the figure, whose lips curled up and whose hands waved.
Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime simultaneously launched their attack, one releasing a bewitching incense and the other wielding a sword as they charged towards the White Snake Sage!
With a roar, Garaga charged at the two goddesses, who had no choice but to abandon their attack on the White Snake Sage and focus all their efforts on blocking Garaga's attack!
After all, the White Snake Sage might show mercy because of their identities, but Garaga wouldn't. She has a firm will to follow the path of snakes and is bloodthirsty by nature.
Therefore, that figure had no way to control her!
The White Snake Sage looked at Garaga and the Three Divine Princesses with worry in his eyes, while turning his head to stare coldly at the phantom in the sky.
"Sir, has my Ryūchi Cave offended you?" The White Snake Sage's voice was icy and filled with killing intent.
What a disgrace! Since the founding of Ryūchi Cave, no one has ever dared to be so arrogant, coming into this world and first controlling the Three Divine Princesses under her command.
Then they destroyed the dense forest of Ryūchi Cave and launched an attack on the sacred site of Ryūchi Cave!
The figure slowly spoke, "If Ryūchi Cave submits to me, I might consider sparing your lives, provided that, White Snake Sage, you swear allegiance to my Ōtsutsuki Clan!"
As they spoke, the mist surrounding the figure dissipated.
