Happy times always passed in the blink of an eye.
Uchiha Yato had been delighted, originally planning to have a proper chat with the other Kage-level experts and exchange their experiences and insights.
However, just as he was brimming with excitement, he suddenly caught sight of that enormous Buddha statue.
It was a powerful ninjutsu left behind by Hashirama Senju, something that should have been invincible.
