After sealing Kaguya, Team 7 was trapped in Amenominaka. With a wave of his hand, the Six Paths Elder summoned the souls of the Five Kage from the Pure Land, directly summoning Naruto and Sasuke, who were at the Six Paths level at the time, the dying Uchiha Madara, and the other two members of Team 7.
This means that the Sage of Six Paths absolutely controls spatial abilities.
If you ask how strong the Sage of Six Paths is, Meikyō doesn't know, but he can at least determine a lower limit.
The Sage of Six Paths possessed the Rinnegan and Senjutsu when he was young, and he and his younger brother Hamura mastered the Six Paths Yin Power and Six Paths Yang Power respectively during their youth.
After sealing Kaguya, he sealed the Ten-Tails into his body. At this time Sage of Six Paths, as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, had mastered both Yin Power and Yang Power, as well as the Kekkei Tōta and condensed the Truth-Seeking Orb.
Meikyō estimates that, among the Six Paths realm, Hagoromo Otsutsuki is definitely one of the strongest among the strong. Just the fact that he was so strong just by bestowing power upon Naruto and Sasuke shows how powerful he is.
However, it's unclear what state the Sage of Six Paths is currently in.
But Meikyō felt that the two sides were not enemies.
Regardless of whether they are considered descendants of the other party, both sides are certainly on the side of the Ninja World when facing the Otsutsuki.
Back to Konoha.
Dan Katō and the others then focused their energy on the enthronement ceremony of the Fifth Hokage.
Meikyō, the person in question, was actually unharmed.
He simply continued sitting in the small recliner and began to ponder.
Shisui's Dojutsu has been copied by himself.
The power of the Water World is astonishing.
Of course, it also consumes a lot of eye power. According to Shisui's usage, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan would be exhausted after just one use, and the Rinnegan probably wouldn't be able to withstand it for long either.
However, this does not mean that there are no ways to reduce consumption in the Water World.
"Shisui awakened his Sharingan around the time Uchiha Itachi died. According to the information Shisui gave him when he returned, he spent three days in Itachi's Tsukuyomi World, but those three days in the Tsukuyomi World only translate to a fleeting moment in the outside world..."
The Shisui activated this Dojutsu was probably because he deeply desired to freeze time at the moment before his best friend's death. No, considering all factors, it would be to Infinity stretch that moment, which best reflects the effect of Shisui's Dojutsu.
Water World is a Dojutsu, but it actually has two forms of expression, manifested through the left and right eyes respectively.
The effect in the left eye is the time slowdown that was shown earlier.
Centered on the caster, Water World unfolds. Within this Water World realm, the closer one is to the caster, the slower time flows.
The right eye's Dojutsu only affects the caster, accelerating the caster's own time flow and allowing the caster to move at a relatively fast speed within the Water World.
The consumption of pupil power depends on the speed of time flow and the size of the influence range of the Water World.
Since the right eye only affects the caster, it consumes slightly less pupil power. As for the left eye, if it only affects a small area, such as when the caster is fighting an enemy in close combat, the consumption of pupil power will not be too great.
Meikyō believes that the normal usage should be to use it alone, to suddenly slow down the enemy during battle, or to speed up oneself at a critical moment.
When used at a critical moment, combined with appropriate tactics and combat methods, it can be enough to bring about a huge change in the battle situation.
Using it even once in a single battle is enough to change the situation or even end the battle.
Such energy expenditure is within an acceptable range, even for an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan.
Like Shisui, relying on his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, whose ocular power is of high quality and he is not afraid of going blind, he can affect a wide area of thousands of meters with a single use. Moreover, because he knows that Meikyō's speed is fast, he slows down a lot of it, which means that he also needs to consume a lot of ocular power to accelerate himself.
With that in mind, it's no wonder that your eye power is being consumed in large quantities!
If an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan did this, they would probably exhaust their eye power and go blind on the spot before even using it.
"With the Water World technique, plus my own spatial abilities, and the two techniques I developed before, I should now be 50% confident that I can take down Psykos-Orochi all by myself."
Meikyō sat on the recliner, legs crossed, deep in thought.
Previously in the One-Punch Man World, he had already awakened the Rinnegan, but had not yet copied the space-time Blast ability. When he teamed up with Tatsumaki, they were on the receiving end of the pressure when facing Psykos-Orochi.
That guy really has the ability to smash an entire continent.
If Genos in his Ultimate Power form hadn't combined with Drive Knight to transform into Dragon King form, giving them an extra super-powerful fighter with a duration of less than twenty seconds who helped them and Tatsumaki turn the tide, they might not have been able to defeat Psykos that time.
As for himself now, he is a level above what he was back then, and he is confident that he is no weakling among the Six Paths level experts.
"I should be able to defeat Boros in his third stage, the energy-released form, but I estimate that I would not be a match for him in his Fourth Stage, the Boros who can destroy the entire surface of the earth in one move."
Meikyō thought of the battle he had witnessed back then.
Boros's Roaring Star Cannon, when faced with Saitama's Serious Punch, resulted in Earth losing halfway.
Even with his current abilities encompassing space and time mechanisms, Meikyō dared not say he could withstand such a terrifying attack.
The reason is simple.
Eight Gates Might Guy's Evening Elephant is powerful enough to distort space, and Night Guy's move is definitely a threat to a Six Paths level expert like himself.
Pure Taijutsu, pure strength.
A force, if large enough, can affect space.
A typical example is the relationship between gravity and space.
But even Night Guy is no match for the Roaring Star Cannon, which can destroy the earth's surface in one move.
Moreover, at that time, Saitama and Boros were strong not only in strength, but also in speed that matched them.
As is well known, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, when an object is traveling at the speed of light, the surrounding environment is essentially at rest.
While the speed of Serious Punch and Roaring Star Cannon isn't as exaggerated as the speed of light, it's not so easy to dodge them using time-related abilities.
"In terms of overall strength, I should be stronger than Boros in his energy release state now, but I rely more on my newly acquired spatial and temporal abilities. I'm more of a mechanical monster. In terms of pure physical stats, I'm still quite a bit behind Boros in that state."
Meikyō sipped his tea while assessing his current strength.
I shouldn't be afraid of Kaguya anymore.
In terms of ability configuration alone, his spatial ability is a counter to Amenominaka's spatial switching ability, and he has now broken free from the Chakra system's limitation of being Kekkei Mōra Limit.
With the two new trump cards he developed earlier, he should also have the ability to injure Kaguya.
Of course, the opponent's methods such as All-Killing Ash Bones and Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb also have the ability to harm or even kill oneself.
However, considering the difference in combat experience between the two sides, Meikyō did not think that he would be afraid of Kaguya in the present moment.
"Add to that the combination of Minato and Kushina, who are almost unbeatable below the Six Paths level and can only stall for time, and Fugaku and Shisui, two mechanic-based monsters. Their combined abilities should be comparable to the level of Kakashi with dual Kamui in the original timeline, and they can play a certain role in battles at the Six Paths level."
"With our current lineup, we should be able to easily crush Madara and his team."
Meikyō stretched and stood up from the recliner.
"It should be about time."
"Xiuling, it's been over fifty years, your skills have improved quite a bit."
Inside a room in the Hokage Building, Uchiha Yu chuckled as he smoked his pipe, looking at Uchiha Meikyō, who was standing in front of a mirror, wearing the new Hokage Robe.
"Oh dear, so many years have passed, and the village is changing rapidly. Young people like to buy fashionable and good-looking clothes. I've been a tailor for seventy years, and my eyesight is failing. I definitely have to keep up with the times. However, I only did half the work on this dress. My granddaughter did the design and everything. Her skills are no worse than mine when I was young."
An elderly woman with white hair and reading glasses sat on one side and smiled.
She made the Hokage Robe for the First Hokage more than fifty years ago, as well as the robe for the Second Hokage.
Because she was the most skilled tailor in the Senju Clan at the time, and is now one of the few people in the village who still retains the surname Senju.
In order to increase their legitimacy as much as possible, the later Third Hokage also commissioned this person to make a set exactly the same as the First Hokage.
Later on, it became custom-made for the Hokage Robe to be made by their company when the Hokage succeeded him.
"Yes, yes, Lord Meikyō, lift your head, I'll draw your eyebrows again."
The old man's granddaughter, a well-known stylist in Konoha, is currently standing beside Meikyō, doing her makeup and hair.
"This... I mean, the previous Hokage didn't have such complicated styling when they took office, did they?"
Meikyō felt like a doll, being manipulated by a stylist.
"It's different. When the previous Hokage took office, the teacher personally helped them with their appearance. Although it was just a simple makeup to make them look more energetic and imposing, at least they had their looks done."
"When the Fourth Hokage took power, it was also done by me and Lady Tsunade together."
"As for you..."
The old lady pushed up her Glasses.
"Like the Fourth Hokage, you are quite handsome, it would be a waste not to give you a makeover."
Meikyō couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
"Don't move!"
The female stylist patted Meikyō's hand, then pinched Meikyō's face and gently lifted the corner of her mouth.
"Come on, smile. Yes, that's it."
The female stylist looked at her work with satisfaction.
"Is it finished? It looks quite good. Next, we just need the remaining two Kage to arrive and witness it before we can begin the succession ceremony for the Fifth Hokage."
Tsunade looked at the Meikyō in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
Meikyō is now wearing a redesigned Hokage Robe, with a red and white haori draped over it that is similar in style to the Demon Slayer Corps Meikyō she wore before, and looks very similar to the one worn by Rengoku Kyojuro.
The only difference is that the Demon Slayer Corps' haori has the words "Demon Annihilation" on the back, while the blue-black haori that Meikyō wore before had the Uchiha Clan Crest tattooed on it.
Now it has changed back to the five characters "Fifth Hokage".
The inner garment retains most of the original Hokage Robe style, but has been changed to a fitted style, making the wearer look more upright.
In addition, the female stylist's carefully styled hair and light makeup made Meikyō's already handsome appearance even more striking.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
"Meikyō, something's happened."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the former Hokage, and Dan Katō, the current Hokage who is about to become the former Hokage, entered the room together.
The others exchanged a knowing glance and, except for Tsunade, all withdrew.
"Third Master Dan, what happened?"
Meikyō asked the two of them.
"The Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails have all been placed on Turtle Island. The Third Tsuchikage originally planned to personally escort the supplies to Turtle Island and then return. However, it seems that the information was leaked. Not only was the information about Turtle Island leaked, but the four Tailed Beasts were also captured by Uchiha Madara, who personally took action. Even the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, has disappeared after the defeat, and his fate is unknown. Now, Iwagakure is also in a state of leaderlessness."
Dan Katō said with a serious expression.
"Is the source of the intelligence accurate?"
"The Fourth Raikage told us this personally right after arriving in Konoha using the Heavenly Transfer Technique. They later confirmed the spy's identity and discovered that Turtle Island been destroyed by Uchiha Madara when they tried to contact it using a summoning beast through prepared means."
"That... it really is true."
Meikyō shook her head, not uttering the words "pig teammate."
"We told them long ago that we would send the Tailed Beast to Konoha, but those guys kept refusing with the excuse that you can't put all your eggs in one basket, saying that the Tailed Beast couldn't be all in Konoha. Now, their eggs have broken first."
Tsunade covered her forehead with a helpless expression.
"After all, these people are still worried that if their Tailed Beast come to Konoha, they won't be able to return. Now, sigh..."
The Third Hokage also shook their heads.
"So what do we do now?"
"Tsunade asked."
Dan Katō and Hiruzen Sarutobi did not return; instead, they turned their gazes toward Meikyō.
Now, he is the one who truly gives orders in Konoha.
He is the Hokage!
"Keep the original plan in place. Let Obito and Minato continue to follow Nohara Rin and Kushina, and then invite the Fourth Raikage, the Fifth Kazekage, and the Fifth Mizukage to witness the succession ceremony of the Fifth Hokage!"
Meikyō turned around, straightened the collar of his Hokage Robe, and said calmly.
