"The most important thing about a strong person is absolute control over their own power. Only by controlling every bit of power can they bring their strength to its limit, or even surpass that limit."
You are merely weaklings whose power has surged, and you haven't even broken through on your own. You have power but no corresponding realm. Fighting in this state will only amplify your weaknesses, and your combat power will increase rather than decrease.
Alas! In the end, he was nothing more than a pawn created by that cunning old fox!
With a sigh, Wang Hao was truly disappointed in the two main characters.
While the ability to unleash one's full potential is a privilege reserved for the protagonist, allowing them to defeat the main villain afterward, this rule doesn't apply to him, as he's no ordinary villain!
However, he really couldn't kill these two guys. After all, they were the protagonists of the next era. If he wiped them out, it would definitely attract the attention of the planet's will, and then it would be difficult for him to hide here.
So for now, we can only cripple and defeat these two guys, and then see if that cunning old Sage of Six Paths, has any other tricks up his sleeve.
In fact, this incident is basically over now. He hasn't figured out how to deal with that Destruction Divine Baleful Intent yet, so we don't need to worry about him for now.
He was more interested in the Sage of Sage of Six Paths ' backup plans. The more backup plans he forced out of the Sage this time, the easier his future plans would be.
Our main mission this time isn't to defeat you!
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly grinned, and Wang Hao, as if sensing something, turned his head to look. He saw a huge, strange box floating above the pit where the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent was located, and on the box stood a grass ninja with his hands forming hand seals.
" Village Hidden in the Grass! The Box of Ultimate Bliss!"
Upon seeing the headband insignia of the Grass Ninja, Wang Hao quickly realized that their trump card was the Box of Ultimate Bliss, which appeared in the Hokage storyline.
As the grass ninja man formed hand seals, the sealed gate of the Box of Ultimate Bliss suddenly opened, unleashing a powerful suction force that devoured the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent and Fiend in the pit below.
Terrifying roars emanated from the Box of Ultimate Bliss, revealing a demonic aura strikingly similar to that of the monsters from the Land of Demons, clearly indicating that a terrifying monster was sealed within.
That wasn't all. The Chakra arrays that Cloud Lightning Ravine had sealed off Mito Uzumaki suddenly activated, transforming into countless Chakra chains that sealed off the central area and protected Naruto and the others inside.
"Haha... Demon Wang Hao, you've lost this time!"
Naruto Uzumaki, having reattached his arm, laughed heartily, taunting Wang Hao with his words as if wanting to see Wang Hao's exasperated reaction.
Who told you I lost?
Wang Hao was completely bewildered. He didn't understand when he had lost. He was the one who had humiliated the two main characters!
"..."
This expression left Naruto Uzumaki speechless, unsure of what to say.
"You went to great lengths to break the seal on the demon in Cloud Lightning Ravine, hoping to use its power. Now that the demon has been sealed away, your plan has failed!"
Sasuke Uchiha calmly, but he was also very puzzled by Wang Hao's reaction, which was completely different from what they had expected.
"Who told you I was going to use that thing's power? That old schemer, the Sage of Six Paths? You really are a clueless idiot. I don't even know why Itachi Uchiha would choose to sacrifice himself for you. You're far inferior to Itachi!"
Wang Hao shook his head slightly, feeling even more disappointed in the two main characters of Hokage.
Although the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent is powerful, it is too powerful. Even if he were to reach the Heaven Realm, he might not be able to utilize it, let alone with his current cultivation level. Forcing contact would only destroy him.
He had no interest in this kind of accumulation that was neither enjoyable to consume nor worth discarding; at most, he would extract a Sisi insight into it.
Moreover, he had been worried about how to deal with that thing before, since the destructive power of the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent was too strong. Although it did not have the characteristic of the World-Destroying Evil Baleful Intent that devoured all things in the world and grew continuously, it was still very terrifying.
Ordinary methods simply cannot contain that thing. Leaving it in the Land of Lightning is always a hidden danger. If it is not careful, it will erupt and wipe out the entire Land of Lightning. Now that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths has sent these idiots to take over, he is overjoyed!
As for whether the Sage of Six Paths would refine the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent, it's not that he looks down on the Sage of Six Paths, but even if the Heavenly Mandate of this world were to be restored, it would probably have to take a detour when it comes to the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent.
It is important to know that the power of destruction is the most difficult to control and refine, even in the Primordial Great World, let alone a pure destructive power like the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent. Forcibly refining it will only destroy oneself as well.
Throughout countless eons in the Primordial World, no great being has ever been known to cultivate the Dao of Destruction. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were known as Demon Gods, dared not touch this forbidden Great Dao.
Even if the Sage of Six Paths took it back, it would be a hot potato, and would only cause that old guy to worry about the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent.
After all, something like the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent cannot be sealed away by a Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Sure enough, after absorbing one-tenth of the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent, the Box of Ultimate Bliss began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
The Sage of Six Paths, who was hiding in the shadows, noticed the state of the Box of Ultimate Bliss and quickly integrated all the chains formed by the Chakra technique array into the Box of Ultimate Bliss of Box of Ultimate Bliss to strengthen its power.
The Box of Ultimate Bliss was stabilized, but Naruto and the others who were being protected were now exposed.
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the Box of Ultimate Bliss behind them, its power surging, and then at Wang Hao slowly approaching them. They were so angry they almost cursed him out.
This is outrageous!
"Looks like that old schemer Sage of Six Paths, only has this much trick up his sleeve!"
A slight smile played on Wang Hao's lips. He had once again witnessed the Sage of Sage of Six Paths ' bottom line. The Sage definitely had even more powerful methods, but they were certainly limited, or the price to pay for using them would be too high to be worthwhile.
This intelligence is very important!
We won't let you near!
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha stood in front of Wang Hao, their faces resolute, clearly not wanting Wang Hao to get close to the Box of Ultimate Bliss and break the seal on the demon.
The next moment, three beautiful figures flashed over quickly. They were Sakura Haruno, Hinata, and Karin Uzumaki, who had been guarding the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
They had just witnessed the vast difference in strength between Naruto and Sasuke and Wang Hao, so they dared not let Naruto and Sasuke fight Wang Hao alone again, otherwise people would really die.
"If I'm not mistaken, your plan, or rather the Sage of Six Paths ' plan, is to use the Box of Ultimate Bliss to seal away the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent and then teleport it to your time period, right?"
Stopping in his tracks, Wang Hao withdrew his gaze from the Box of Ultimate Bliss and looked at Naruto and Sasuke with a strange and unsettling expression.
These words caused the five men's pupils to shrink; Wang Hao had clearly hit the nail on the head.
"In that case, you need to be careful. Although the World-Destroying Divine Baleful Intent is dangerous, there are many ways to deal with it. However, once it merges with the demons in the Box of Ultimate Bliss, your situation will be dire."
Wang Hao kindly offered a reminder; this time he wasn't trying to fool anyone, but genuinely meant well.
The Destruction Divine Baleful Intent is unstable; once it comes into contact with too much demonic energy, it will transform into the Destruction Demonic Sha, which is similar in nature to the World-Destroying Evil Baleful Intent, and that thing is much more dangerous.
These words made Naruto and Sasuke's hearts sink. Although they didn't believe what Wang Hao said, they still kept it in mind.
"Let's talk about the future! As long as what you say interests me, I won't interfere with the Box of Ultimate Bliss's seal on the Destruction Divine Baleful Intent."
With his arms crossed, Wang Hao controlled the ground beneath his feet to raise a set of stone table and chairs, gesturing for Naruto and Sasuke to take their seats.
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged glances, said nothing, and after confirming that there were no traps in the table and chairs, they took their seats one after another.
" The Tenseigan isn't pure. If I wasn't wrong, your Tenseigan was probably created by extracting the Tenseigan Chakra from the Caged Bird Cursed Seal Hyuga Branch Household!"
After staring at Hinata's sky-blue Tenseigan for a while, Wang Hao roughly understood the origin of those eyes.
Hinata remained silent, which was clearly an admission of consent.
"It seems that the overall strength of the future you live in has improved considerably. Can you tell me why?"
After observing Sakura Haruno and Karin Uzumaki, Wang Hao noticed that both women had reached the Early Six Paths Level realm, which piqued his curiosity.
Logically speaking, these two girls don't have any special abilities; at most, they could only reach the Mid Kage Level, and it would be impossible for them to advance to the High Kage Level, let alone the Six Paths Level.
Something had clearly happened here. What puzzled him even more was that, according to his senses just now, the Chakra circulation within these three girls was incredibly sophisticated, far surpassing the traditional methods of Leaf and many times Gao Ming.
"Many of Leaf's ninja clans and powerful ninjas have inexplicably received gifts from a mysterious person, and coupled with changes in the world environment, Leaf's overall strength has increased extremely rapidly."
Sasuke Uchiha gave an ambiguous explanation.
There was no other way; they now had to find a way to stall this demon Wang Hao, and selectively revealing some information was a good approach.
"I see."
He was taken aback at first, then seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on Wang Hao's face.
Based on this vague information, he basically determined how to complete a side quest.
"So, Hinata, can you tell me how you ended up with Naruto, who's such an idiot when it comes to emotional intelligence? Or, as I've seen, was it orchestrated by someone who rescued you as a Hero, and you were so moved that you offered yourself to him?"
You're the idiot!
Naruto Uzumaki, is furious. What does this guy mean by this?
Naruto!
Holding his best friend's shoulder, Sasuke Uchiha looked at Wang Hao and coldly asked, "You just said that Naruto and Hinata's meeting was arranged by someone?"
"Isn't it obvious? The Tailed Beast Jinchūriki are a strategic weapon of mass destruction for every ninja village. The best way to turn this weapon of mass destruction into our own is to establish a strong bond."
For example, those idiot parents were arranged by the Leaf higher-ups to have Kushina Uzumaki kidnapped by so-called Village Hidden in the Clouds ninjas. Then, Minato Namikaze, whom Hiruzen Sarutobi valued, happened to discover this, chased after her, and performed a Hero rescue. Afterward, the two got together happily and ended up having this idiot.
With his legs casually crossed and arms folded over his chest, Wang Hao didn't mind making a few more sarcastic remarks about Leaf's higher-ups, since most of them were the truth anyway.
He had asked the Third Raikage out of curiosity before, and the old man said that they would only do Tailed Beast Jinchūriki if they were out of their minds.
Furthermore, although the Village Hidden in the Clouds ninjas who kidnapped Kushina Uzumaki were indeed their people, they had already lost contact with the Land of Fire a month before the incident.
Having received this information, Wang Hao could easily figure out that the encounter between Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki was arranged by the Leaf higher-ups.
You have to understand that although Kushina Uzumaki hadn't become the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki yet, she was the only candidate in Hidden Leaf Village. He didn't believe the Third Hokage wouldn't send people to keep a close watch on her.
Even if the Third Raikage himself came, he wouldn't have the ability to kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Vice Admiral Hidden Leaf Village.
Do you really think the title of Hidden Leaf Village's strongest ninja village is just a joke?
Even the impatient Naruto fell silent, and Wang Hao turned his gaze to Karin Uzumaki had remained silent all along.
"From what I saw, your mother was drained of her blood and died by the people of Village Hidden in the Grass. Didn't you visit your mother when you went to Village Hidden in the Grass to retrieve the Box of Ultimate Bliss?"
Upon hearing this, Karin Uzumaki, who was already terrified of Wang Hao, shuddered and then clutched her head in fear, trembling as if she were caught up in some terrible memory.
" Karin!"
Reaching out to place her hand on Karin Uzumaki's shoulder, Chakra to awaken her. Sakura Haruno then glared angrily at Wang Hao, that despicable guy.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the situation of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Iron in your time!"
Shrugging, Wang Hao steered the conversation back to business.
"In our time, the Land of Iron and the Land of Lightning had long since become a desolate wasteland, seemingly destroyed by some terrible Scourge."
After careful consideration, Sasuke Uchiha revealed some information.
