Makoto was the first to leave the makeshift tent and head outside.
He made his way to Konoha's camp, found his special Black Hawk from the tarmac, and took off into the sky.
The remaining Kages looked at each other for a few seconds before realizing the seriousness of the problem and following suit.
-At that moment, all of them realized that they had perhaps stood at the cusp of history. What they did next would affect the future of the entire world.
"Please wait, Hokage-sama!"
The people shouted so, each exerting their own methods to keep up with Makoto.
Air control was one of the most important strategic advantages in this era, and the vast majority of ninja could not fly. But the experts who could reach the Kage level, most of them had their own solutions.
For a time, a large number of people rose in a huge crowd throughout the temporary camp. They followed Makoto's figure closely and quickly disappeared into the snow curtain.
The quality of the Black Hawk that Makoto was using was the best in itself, and in the case where he didn't spare any chakra, it was even faster. The people behind him, rushed to keep up with his pace.
On the surface, Makoto acted decisively, steady as an old dog, as if he had a perfect plan.
However, the speed of change in the current situation in front of Makoto was far beyond his imagination.
He really did not expect that the seventh prince would be so crazy.
But since things have happened, then all they can do is to see the moves, funeral happy to do, as far as possible to pursue a good result...
Makoto rushed along while thinking quickly in his mind, looking for the best possible ending for the Seventh Prince and the ninjas in this matter.
He wasn't quite sure just how long he had been traveling through the clouds, and by the time he reacted, he had already broken out of the clouds and reappeared under the lead-gray dome of the sky.
The royal capital was already at the bottom of his feet.
Now that it was snowy, it was precisely a silver dress. It was only when Makoto looked towards the earth that he realized that the flames in the royal capital had all been extinguished. Although the entire city was still in a bit of a panic, the riots had stopped.
On the contrary, the second prince's barracks outside the city looks majestic and majestic, but inside is a lot of contradictions, seems to have the intention to kill... and Makoto was worried about the complete opposite, obviously before the seven princes are still rioting here, now it's more quiet, and the horror of the burning and looting did not spread out without a bottomless line, on the contrary, it's the second prince's troops here...
When he hesitated, the people behind him all caught up.
"There is no enemy, could it be an intelligence miscalculation?" Makoto deliberately said so, and called Hyuuga Hiashi, "Hiashi, search the surrounding area to see if there is something missing!"
-Makoto's Hokage Guard was already mostly scouting ninjas, and this time, they even borrowed Hyuuga Hiashi.
Everyone didn't want to fight Pain, and were more concerned with the Prince's fight instead. Only this kind of thing, a moment is not good to say through.
Hyuuga Hiashi had a lot to say, but before, he chose to carry out the order first.
Although it had only been two years, the benefits that Makoto had secured for Konoha were too much. By now, he already possessed a prestige that was equal to or even exceeded that of Sandaime.
"Byakugan, open!"
Hyuuga Hiashi was not a bad fighter, and more crucially, in a traditionally large clan like Hyuuga, he was better at figuring out what the boss was thinking. Therefore after he had pretended to scout around a bit, what he reported was the situation in the Second Prince's military camp.
"Hokage-sama, martial law has begun in the military camp over there... it seems... it seems..."
Hiashi didn't say exactly what it seemed, but it didn't matter anymore.
Kakashi: "Is it the speech from before? ...Instead of chaos at the Seventh Prince's place, it's chaos at the Second Prince's place... It's all about hearts and minds!"
-It's not that the seventh prince's charisma is so amazing that he can make people dismount and surrender with just a few words, it's really that the conditions on the second prince's side are just too bad.
In this day and age, eating empty paychecks and drinking soldiers' blood were considered commonplace.
It would be a strange thing if they didn't take advantage of it.
The Guards Corps indeed has high morale and strong combat power, but that is because almost all of the Guards Corps are the second sons of nobles - they were originally intended to replace ninjas, but unfortunately they did not succeed in the end.
That's why when these ordinary legions in front of him were mobilized, their morale was extremely low, even to the point that the second prince had to pull them in with promises of slaughter.
Granted, the capital of his own kingdom was not a small city in another country, and the cost of actually doing so was incomparably huge. However, in the context of the general background of the seizure of the first prince, there are things that are...
But suddenly, these ordinary legionnaires found that the original when the big head soldier can also continue to be promoted, can also get enough pay... This military heart will naturally be shaken up.
A loyal and capable subordinate suddenly left the company, either because he was aggrieved or because the money was not given enough.
This is the unchanging truth of the ages.
It was useless for the second prince to say more.
The old soldier has been in the army for so many years, what kind of shit have I not seen before.
In the army, the officer is always promoted first, followed by the officer's relatives, the officer's subordinates, and the officer's dog.
Maybe a person stays in the army all his life and is still a big soldier, while a dog has become an air marshal.
The big head soldier can rise up, either accidentally made a heavenly merit, the chief took away most of it, more or less also share some out, or it is for some chief as the heir...
But the seventh prince was different.
He looks very unreliable.
But... he really dared to kill nobles.
And it's killing pieces after pieces.
-The nobles who were killed were not thrown away, they were all hung on street lamps and city walls.
He killed so many nobles, so he would have to recruit a lot of people to fill them in... Why does there have to be a noble above him?
It's the same with them and without them anyway.
The Seventh Prince definitely didn't think of so much, but it was undeniable that some things, even if it was just a sign of change for the better, made people's hearts race.
That is to say, the second prince reacted quickly, even if martial law was imposed, and he also carried out some rewards to win over, otherwise
In any case, public sentiment has changed!
The Seventh Prince's crookedness has now opened Pandora's magic box!
"The right thing, the advanced thing, the thing that meets everyone's deeper needs, will ultimately triumph over those corrupt things..."
In the whistling wind, I don't know who opened the mouth, and came such a fine murmur.
Hyuuga Hiashi, who always had his Byakugan open, suddenly looked up to the sky if he felt something.
"This chakra reaction is... there is an enemy there!"
The Hyuuga clan's scouting ability was known throughout the world, and someone in the crowd immediately cast Futon (Wind Release), dispersing some of the clouds above the dome of the sky.
A dozen or so ninjas wearing red cloud robes on a black background appeared in their field of vision.
"-It's Akatsuki organization members, they're there!"
Makoto looked up, and it was indeed as they said.
Those Akatsuki organization members in the back were obviously miscellaneous soldiers. But the ones flying in front of them looked more familiar.
Respectively, they were the masked Namikaze, Kakuzu, Aunt Snake, Kazehana Doto, and even... Konan.
The hell knows how these few people were grouped together, anyway, they did appear in front of them. And in the hands of those stragglers, there were also several pitch-black chakra armor carried.
Futon's movement was not small, Makoto discovered them, and they discovered Makoto as well.
Compared to the preparedness of the allied forces, Akatsuki's side was clearly alarmed.
"Crap, why did these guys suddenly leave the temporary camp and run into the royal capital?"
For Kazehana Doto, it didn't really make any difference where the actual battle test of the Chakra Armor was conducted.
However, after some chanting from Namikaze, she still chose to pick the testing site in the royal capital.
This was partly due to the face of Namikaze and Kakuzu, and partly due to safety considerations - after all, the Chakra Armor was an elite equipment, and in order to bring out the highest combat power, the Chakra Armor would need to undergo some precise adjustments before going into battle. This would take a bit of time, and with Makoto's character, it was certain that he would not be directly involved in the war between the two princes.
Kazehana Doto was both a prince and a ninja, and no one knew better than him how dangerous the battle for the throne was right now.
It looked like two people were chasing that supreme position, but in reality, it was a dark abyss.
Hundreds of people, nobles, daimyo, ninja... everything...
As long as one is wrapped up in that endless abyss, there is no possibility of getting out again.
A cunning fellow like Makoto would surely send an agent down. But the possibility of him personally coming down is really too low...
Kazehana Doto consciously thought that there was no problem with his judgment, but what he didn't expect was that they had directly bumped into the brigade of villages led by Makoto before delivering the equipment over the king's capital.
Such a luxurious scene had only been experienced by the Sora Ninja back then.
"Damn, it's really shady... What should we do now!"
Kazehana Doto's heart was incomparably anxious, he knew very well that his Elite Jonin level strength after putting on the Chakra Armor was definitely not a match for these monsters in front of him, and for a while he directly panicked.
"Don't panic, we still have a chance." Namikaze was not very old, and usually did not look very reliable, but when it came to this kind of emergency, instead, she was the most stable, "Activate the Chakra Armor, and throw them at the king's capital!"
"Those Kages are now most afraid of being involved in the battle for the throne, and absolutely refuse to make the slightest mistake! They don't know what's going on, and they'll do their best to intercept those Chakra Armors, so you guys take the opportunity to go first!"
"This is the Land of Water, the Kiri knows the situation here best, I'll go stall the Kiri!"
This was definitely not the best idea.
At the very least, Kazehana Doto was a bit reluctant to part with the Chakra Armor.
He knew that in this kind of chaotic battle, Konoha could easily seize his Chakra Armor.
He asked himself that he had a certain technical advantage in this area, but Konoha had too many talents and plenty of money. With a physical object, it might be possible to crack or even imitate it.
But there were great horrors between life and death, and Windflower could not think of anything better to do than to listen - after all, Namikaze was saying that she would go and take on those Kiri elders himself, not that they should go.
"Take care of yourself!"
Kazehana Doto said to Namikaze, then activated a chakra armor and turned on all the functions inside.
In an instant, the originally pitch-black chakra armor began to overflow with brilliant chakra rays, making people unable to help but think that this was some kind of terrifying weapon that possessed heaven-destroying power.
"Taste this!"
"All of you guys, go to hell!"
In the midst of the panic, Kazehana Doto also had a few moments of urgency. The fact that he shouted so much made people subconsciously think that this blackened pile was some kind of terrifying thing.
As Kazehana Doto roared, the Chakra Armor turned into a meteor and charged towards the allied forces.
Buzz!
Hastily meeting each other, the Kages didn't expect that the Akatsuki organization was so crazy that they would just zoom in without a care in the world.
After all, the sky was not as good as the ground, and Kages' response was ultimately a bit worse. Faced with the unknown attack, some people choose to avoid, some people choose to resist. The more principled ones, on the other hand, attempted to knock away the chakra armor that had already begun to rampage, to prevent them from spreading to the people below.
As the people went their own way, a not-so-small gap immediately appeared in the originally stable formation.
"-Go!"
Seeing this, Kakuzu didn't hesitate, and directly led Namikaze away.
And Namikaze also rushed towards the Kiri Elder's side, just as she had said.
In the entire allied army, the Kiri Elders' group was at the very back.
It wasn't that they were greedy and afraid of death, but compared to the topmost elites of the other villages, they were really inferior.
Moreover, they were using Konoha's Black Hawk machine, which they had not practiced at all before, and it could be said that their proficiency was almost non-existent, so naturally they could not catch up with the others.
However, in the face of Namikaze's strong attack, the Kiri elders did not choose to escape, but bravely chose to counterattack.
After all, they had several people, while the other party had only one, flanked by the allied forces to assist, if they couldn't even beat this kind of advantageous game, their faces really couldn't hang on - the other party only had one person, grinding even grinding her to death!
This was what the Kiri elders thought in their hearts, except that the turn of events was a bit beyond their imagination.
Namikaze rode an eagle, and several Kiri elders formed a battle formation. However, before the two sides began to make contact, a strange light began to flicker in Namikaze's pupils.
"Amenotejikara!"
The formations of several Kiri Elders were instantly broken, and one unlucky Kiri Elder was actually directly displaced to the distance, allowing Namikaze to drive in.
"Not good, it's a Time Space Ninjutsu!"
"Quick defense!"
The elders of this era were bound to be veterans of a hundred battles, and no matter what was in their hearts, their hand skills were bound to be not weak.
Because of the Yondaime Hokage, the threat of Time Space Ninjutsu as a tactical jutsu was greatly increased. Before understanding the nature of Namikaze's Ninjutsu, the first reaction of the elders was not to recklessly go up and surround them, but to defend and wait for reinforcements.
Tactically, this was not wrong, it was just...
"You guys are too slow!"
With an eagle whistle, Namikaze quickly approached a Kiri elder.
"Eat my blow - Otsutsuki Hiji!"
T/N: I wish I'm hallucinating, but the 2nd half of above literally translate to "Otsutsuki 'Elbow Blow'" and it's not in the wiki
The name of the move that Namikaze made was odd to the extreme, but that didn't stop the move from being ferocious. What clearly seemed to be a very ordinary elbow strike went straight through the Kiri Elder's defenses and punched him right through.
Under such a heavy blow, the Kiri Elder was instantly killed.
-Just from the damage, this unimpressive Otsutsuki Hiji was already at the level of Gai's Six to Seven Gates.
Their companions were instantly killed, and the remaining Kiri elders were inconsolable.
The number of long-lived ninja has always been small, the older people, the more they cherish their peers.
Now that Namikaze had killed one person in seconds in front of them, how could the others not be angry.
But even so, they didn't rush up to take revenge, instead, they pulled even further apart.
"Any Time Space ninjutsu, must have its own weakness, the world has never had a perfect jutsu... Now that the advantage is in me, don't be overwhelmed by hatred!"
Although it was ruthless, the battle method of the ninja world was like this. Even in their grief, the Kiri elders maintained their level.
"Bah..."
Namikaze, who had directly killed a Kiri elder with a single strike, spat out a mouthful of blood; she hadn't actually been injured in the battle just now. But she was still spitting out blood now, and one of the elders even noticed that a crack had appeared on Namikaze's hand.
These cracks didn't look like sword wounds, instead, they kind of looked like dry and cracked earth.
These cracks looked abnormally hideous, and one couldn't help but worry if Namikaze's arm would break in the next moment as a result.
"Found it, the brokenness of this guy's jutsu - when she uses that time-space ninjutsu just now, her body will suffer a huge backlash! She can't use it more than once in a row!"
The Kiri elders made the most realistic judgment based on the situation in front of them, but it was a pity that they couldn't see the disdain behind Wavewind's mask.
"It's not my world after all... The more I do, the faster I'll be away from the final moment... Otherwise, with these stragglers... I'll have one Susanoo Just... I must find this world line of me... and Naruto... quickly -
"I have to tell them... I can't waste all those years like I did before because I was too afraid to reveal my heart... cough..."
Between thoughts, a large number of reinforcements finally surrounded them.
Just facing the crowd's siege, Namikaze was happily unafraid.
"Come on! -
"Although the target at the beginning wasn't you guys... but who let me get carried away on a whim..."
In the next moment, the rose of the battlefield, bloomed over the capital of the Land of Water.
People were surprised to find that there was such a young expert in the Akatsuki organization.
In terms of expressiveness, she might not be comparable to Pain, who possessed Shinra Tensei, but when it came to actually fighting, she was incredibly difficult to deal with.
If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't often lay down deadly blows, she might have already been killed out by her.
But even so, the Kiri elders still one after another all died in her hands... There is no way, if it is a ground battle, the Kiri elders who are familiar with the terrain may still be able to escape, but it is an aerial battle, and the one used is still not too familiar with the Konoha Black Hawk...
Without talking about the chaotic battle between the allied forces and Namikaze, the rest of the group entered their own battle circle.
Makoto was slightly slower, making sure that he was a bit slower than Kakuzu before he started to pursue.
And at this time, Aunt Snake and Konan blocked in front of him together.
The three of them tacitly did not start a battle over the royal capital, and after slightly moving some distance, the three of them hovered above the Second Prince's military camp.
Makoto was riding the Black Hawk, while Aunt Snake was riding on top of a paper kite with Konan.
"It's really been a long time, Hokage-sama. -
"I really didn't expect it, but the little kid who followed behind Minato back then has now become a big man on his own. -
"Perhaps if I had killed you at that time, I wouldn't be in such trouble now."
Aunt Snake continued to display this Oscar-level acting skills of her own, Makoto didn't reply, but just smiled in response.
After smiling, he looked at Konan.
"It's been a long time since I've seen... you, seriously speaking, we should still be meeting for the first time, senior sister Konan."
"I've already met you, Godaime Hokage."
Konan was beautiful, but her expression was always cold, making it hard to figure out what was going on in her mind.
"When was it?"
"It was during the Imperial Trial Combination." Makoto did not expect Konan to answer, but she still said it, "I have to say that you are still really... impressive. -
"I sometimes wonder why I couldn't have met you earlier."
"Oh? Why?"
"If I had met you earlier, Yahiko wouldn't have had to die, right? ...If we were companions... you, this scum, would never have let Yahiko and us suffer."
Sister Konan's comment was really bizarre, and for a while Makoto didn't know if he was praising him or scolding him.
"That... senior sister, we can actually be friends."
"If Jiraiya-sensei knew that we were constantly fighting each other, he would definitely be sad."
He had given Nagato a chance before, and now he was also giving Konan a chance.
Because the current Konan... can still turn back.
The current Konan hadn't really killed many people - the Nagato of this world line had always seemed to have the sense to keep Konan away from blood.
At this time, she did not kill Ajisai or murder a group of Konoha ninjas.
She didn't do it, so there's still a way back.
...Makoto is considered to be in debt, and he is surely going to fall into the infernal hell for eternity anyway.
Isn't it good to be a renowned sect, why do you have to go and be a terrorist.
Doing the same thing anyway.
Probably because of the mention of Jiraiya, Konan's expression softened for a moment.
She should be remembering the time she spent with Jiraiya-sensei.
Those times were sandy, and a few people would even pretend to be frogs together. But for Konan, that should be the happiest time in her life.
Jiraiya-sensei was powerful, and as long as he was there, the storm would not fall on them.
They could grow to their heart's content under the shelter of Jiraiya, and every day they could gain a great deal of knowledge, slowly becoming stronger as far as the naked eye could see...
Still, the next moment, Konan's eyes became stern.
"What nonsense are you talking about! -
"Are you trying to make me look down on you!"
Understood.
Makoto's hands were like butterflies through flowers, and he completed the jutsu in an instant.
"Senjutsu Bomb!"
While Makoto's side was casting the jutsu, Konan's side was already riding a paper kite, preparing to escape towards the distance.
It wasn't that Konan was in fear of Makoto, but Nagato had already fought Makoto a few times before, and both sides were well aware of each other's fighting styles.
This guy Makoto was famous for his genjutsu, and she absolutely could not be caught by his genjutsu, or else she would be a dead man.
At the same time, Makoto's melee combat ability was also extremely fierce - this guy in particular had an extremely low lower limit, and would definitely coat his weapons with intense poison.
Under these two fighting styles, whoever was in melee combat with him would be quite unlucky.
But on the flip side, Makoto's long-range attack ability was always relatively weak.
...The attack range of most genjutsu is not very large, which is why he was named by the bijus during the Fourth Ninja War.
On the other hand, what Konan's Unsealing Technique was best at was long-range attacks as well as battles of attrition.
Because it was an encounter, Konan couldn't use the 600 billion explosive tags she was famous for. But if it was the Unsealing Technique...
But Makoto didn't give her that chance.
Konan's reaction could already be considered quite fast, but Makoto's tactics had really never occurred to her.
She had already prepared herself mentally to resist Makoto's first wave of attacks, but what really appeared in front of her was a mass of Makoto's flesh that had been infused with chakra... It was Makoto, wasn't it?
That one meatball was hideous and disgusting, making people nauseous.
Before Konan could figure out what these things were for, these meatballs had already flown towards Konan's paper kite.
Konan's flying skill was not comparable to those Kiri elders. She easily dodged the attacks of those meatballs, but these meatballs directly exploded themselves without taking an attack.
Konan's paper kite looked thin, but its defense was quite respectable, and this kind of attack that was not a direct hit could not directly destroy it.
But for some reason, she still felt the paper kite begin to tremble wildly - that was the sign that the jutsu was about to collapse.
Konan had used this jutsu countless times and had never seen anything like this.
Instead, Aunt Snake licked her crystal moist lips and guessed the origin.
"This feeling... is natural energy... no, there's also chakra... but it's not natural energy, as well as chakra... I get it, it's a dirty bomb! -
"This guy Godaime deliberately projected his own body, and then using those flesh, he opened senjutsu mode... He doesn't have the talent for it, and senjutsu mode is bound to fail, but that's exactly what he wants - he passes the plural failures of Senjutsu Mode, mixing the chakra and natural energies around him into a slurry. -
"At this range, both ninjutsu and senjutsu are greatly hindered!"
Aunt Snake didn't know about the senjutsu bomb, but with her own experience, she still roughly guessed it - even though Aunt Snake herself didn't know how to do Senjutsu, Jiraiya did, and she had an ambiguous relationship with the Ryuchi Cave.
"Temporarily contaminate the use of Ninjutsu and Senjutsu? ...It really is something you can do... But in that case, it still won't be able to defeat us!"
If Konan wanted to leave, she could actually still leave now. After all, Makoto clearly hadn't launched a follow-up attack of her own, but she was still determined to maneuver with Makoto for a moment or two.
For one thing, it was to create a little opportunity for the heavily surrounded Namikaze, and for another... she was eager to personally compete with Makoto.
She had observed Makoto fighting other people in the ring, but she was more interested in measuring, first hand, Makoto's wareness.
...Nagato's comments about Makoto were something that Konan hadn't forgotten to this day.
Saying so, Konan simply lifted the paper kite. Aunt Snake reacted quickly and directly threw out two large snakes that could fly from her sleeves.
The two rode on the backs of the large snakes and re-stabilized.
Makoto's Senjutsu Bomb was rather ineffective against this kind of solid creature - after all, solid creatures wouldn't stay where they were and foolishly inhale a large amount of mixed energy.
However...
"No matter who dies, there's no way to explain today... Launch a super bullish attack and muddle through."
Konan was eager to try to see the depths of Makoto, but Makoto's battle intent was not high.
In public and private, there was no benefit to killing Konan right now.
Killing Konan would only upset Jiraiya and cause his hate value at Nagato to skyrocket again... Why bother?
Then, let's smash her to the point where she can't even use her jutsu.
The Senjutsu Bomb had already proved its feasibility in theory and in actual combat, but Makoto didn't know where its limits were.
Now the opportunity is rare...
Screech.
Makoto maneuvered the Black Eagle and continuously tangled with the two women in the air. At the same time, he also secretly raised his own genjutsu to the extreme.
More and more chakra was gathering at his eyes.
The Suo Clan's kekkei genkai didn't necessarily have to be triggered by the eyes; as a type of Yin Release, it actually only required chakra to activate.
It was just that Makoto was used to it.
But this time when Makoto wanted to activate a Super Senjutsu Bomb, he suddenly felt that both his chakra and his eyes were a bit out of control.
Too much and too strong chakra gathered in his eyes, even causing an extremely severe stinging sensation in his eyes.
Even worse, the nerves around him also boiled with it.
At this moment, Makoto didn't have the leisure to check his expression, but he could probably guess that the vicinity of his eyes must be as hideous as the Hyuuga clan unleashing their white eyes.
...What's going on!
Since Makoto had awakened his kekkei genkai, he had unleashed it countless times in various situations, and his kekkei genkai had never let him down.
When he unleashed the Senjutsu Bomb before, he didn t have any problems either. How come now...
Makoto realized that it was bad, but it was too late.
An excessive amount of chakra had gathered at his eyes, and not only that, an unrivaled suction force had been generated at his eyes, attracting chakra from all parts of his body along with it.
With no other choice, Makoto could only open his ninjutsu bag and take out a few canisters of chakra from within.
These were Reibi Chakra.
Makoto had used it just in case.
Unexpectedly, it was used again so soon.
The huge suction force coming from the eyes quickly tore through the chakra jars, absorbing the power inside.
Makoto could clearly feel that his eyes were not satisfied. But fortunately, these clouds of chakra seemed to satisfy some sort of minimum bottom line.
Thus, a marvelous change unfolded since before Makoto's eyes.
In front of Makoto, the entire world turned gray and white.
Countless currents of darkness tumbled forward above the earth, eventually slowly forming a tide that swept across the entire world.
This was not a true power.
Rather, it was the residue of a certain thought... that was hatred.
The things in this world, but when they die, they will inevitably leave their hatred behind. No matter how weak a creature is, as long as it has its own intelligence, it will leave behind its hatred.
Perhaps, there are also some creatures that leave behind their blessings and fulfillment. Yet what is that in the face of endless hatred.
The greatest pain is not physical pain, but mental torture.
Regret, humiliation, anger, hostility, when it is realized that all the reasons are actually because of oneself, all these emotions will double back, constantly gnawing, squeezing and ravaging at the heart.
That's why people habitually like to find excuses for their own mistakes, and find an outlet for their hostility and humiliation. This is not just an escape, or a subconscious means of protecting their emotions.
But the reality is inescapable, and avoidance never give any strength, only when people to face the inescapable pain and reality, accept the torment, will get beyond the reality of the courage.
This courage is the power that a person really has.
Strength in pain.
Love and hate are one, but hate is always easier than love.
That's why there is more and more hatred in this world.
And in this world, extreme emotion was also part of power!
At this moment, Makoto finally understood why this world was like a muddy pond - Sage of Six Paths, you are really happy. You have restored the pure land and are happy in it. How should you deal with the hatred outside?
Perhaps... it is actually the other way around?
Makoto couldn't guess the thoughts of those few big brothers for a while.
But no matter how much he guessed, his eyes were still running themselves. It was just like a machine that had a switch flicked, once it received enough energy, it would definitely run.
Strange powers began to converge towards Makoto's eyes, and some sort of great power began to manifest in the world.
A silver-colored aperture appeared in front of Makoto's eyes.
Makoto's eyes maintained the inexplicable jutsu going on, but his body began to wither.
He couldn't even help but spit out a large mouthful of blood.
But once the jutsu started, he couldn't stop at all.
Small black orbs, one after another, began to float behind him - Truth-Seeking Ball that he had been begging for!
Now it wasn't him manipulating the eyes, it was the eyes that were leading him!
However, each Truth-Seeking Ball that appeared devoured a large amount of his chakra, and even... life force.
This was the hallmark phenomenon of having severely less chakra than the standard catalyst criteria for jutsu.
Chakra was a combination of life and spiritual energy, and when there was not enough physical energy, it was possible to gain extra power by squeezing the cells.
However to do so is to force the cells to die... When a sea of cells die out, the ninja is finished.
Makoto actually did not care too much about other injuries outside of the brain, all of which could be replicated anyway. But the situation in front of him...
Not only Makoto, even Konan and Aunt Snake felt that silent atmosphere of terror.
The atmosphere was shaking and the earth was trembling. In people's hearts, they couldn't help but feel endless fear.
That was the natural fear of a mole cricket, of a god.
At this moment, it was as if Makoto was the master of this world.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him.
But all people could see was a blurry silhouette wrapped in chakra. A huge circle of light appeared in front of him, and after the circle of light, a single seeker jade was silently spinning...
Winds, began to arise.
These ardent winds soon turned into a huge tornado.
Power that was enough to extinguish the world began to brew within it.
"Damn it... this is Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
At this moment, Makoto finally remembered what this move was called.
He wanted to stop, but he simply couldn't.
"What the hell is he doing... No, we have to leave quickly!"
Konan was not quite sure what was happening to Makoto's body, her instinct from life was just urging her that she should run away at this moment.
Run as far away as possible.
But Aunt Snake refused her offer.
"His Ninjutsu... isn't quite right... it might be out of control, we must stop it immediately! Otherwise the consequences are unimaginable!"
"But right now he's too dangerous, if we lean in, we might..."
Aunt Snake pondered for a split second, but still rushed towards Makoto.
"Ten thousand snakes..."
Aunt Snake channeled out her watchful psychic beast, then forced the crazily screaming Ten Thousand Snakes to attack Makoto, who was already covered in white light.
This strike was weak.
For those terrifying eyes.
But it was also this strike that stimulated the eye's self-defense mechanism.
Before it could build up its strength to its limit, the Truth-Seeking Balls rushed into the circle of light together, merging with the manic storm.
Eventually, an incomparably huge silver short sword appeared in front of Makoto.
"Damn it... quickly dodge away!"
At this moment, Makoto was simply like a child swinging a giant hammer, he was unable to control the direction of the silver sword at all, and could only barely skew it.
Thumbing...
The silver short sword was like a knife cutting through butter, making its own pronouncement to the entire world.
The Ten Thousand Snakes, known for their ferocity, didn't even last a split second, just being grazed on the edge and directly split in two.
It was fortunate that Aunt Snake reacted quickly, relying on Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes' block, as well as Makoto's deflection, to escape in the nick of time.
As for the others, they weren't so lucky.
The mountains toppled, the great river broke, and the sky dome tore... apart in one strike, and a thousand mile sword scar appeared above the earth!
The ninjas fighting in the air were swept away, and even Konan, who was still some distance away, was similarly swept away to an unknown place.
This is not a battle, it is basically a beating of a small child.
Wherever the short sword passed, all beings were defeated. Even if it wasn't fully formed yet, it was still invincible - this shouldn't even be a power that humans should possess!
In a trance, Makoto felt that the sword was not supposed to be this powerful.
But at this moment, he could no longer consider so much.
Puff.
Makoto finally spat out a mouthful of blood, and the silver sword in front of him finally dissipated completely.
-Even the most powerful jutsu, without chakra, it can only end.
Makoto, whose body was almost drained of chakra, almost like a dry corpse, landed on the ground, and while he still had a little bit of strength, he took out a few secret pills in his ninjutsu bag and ate them.
The value of these secret medicines, each one can be said to be a mountain of gold, but at this time Makoto where to care so much.
Silky warmth flowed through Makoto's body.
In any case, he survived... although he might have to trouble Tsunade again afterward.
Under the silver sword, the world seemed to fall into a final silence. It was unknown how long it took before the ragged Hyuuga Hiashi came to his side with great difficulty.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Hiashi, you're still alive... Where are the others? Is everyone alright?"
"Alive, everyone is alive! It's just that some people are in a coma..."
...Because of Makoto's final collection of strength and the silver sword's self-collapse, the allied ninjas suffered few casualties, they were just in a sorry state.
"Hokage-sama, your eyes..."
No one knew exactly how many strange ninjutsu and kekkei genkai there were in the Naruto world, but the changes that occurred at Makoto's eyes just now had long been seen by Hyuuga Hiashi.
Before the situation was tense, he was not in a good position to open his mouth, but now that such a change had happened to Makoto, he had to open his mouth and ask.
The Hyuuga clan, has always had a secret.
They came from a noble birth, the bloodline of Otsutsuki Hagoromo , who was the blood brother of Otsutsuki Hamura - that is, Rikudo Sennin.
The bloodline left behind by Otsutsuki Hamura split into two parts, with one part remaining on the moon while the other came to the earth, forming the current Hyuuga family.
The Hyuuga clan had always been proud of their lineage, and it was from this that it originated.
And now Makoto's eyes...
"My, my eyes..."
Makoto strained to the extreme and fished out a small mirror from his accompanying ninjutsu bag, only to realize that at some point, his eyes had taken on the appearance of Tenseigan.
No, it wasn't the kind of rounded and flawless Tenseigan used by Otsutsuki Toneri in the original work, his current transmutation eye was more or less sharp, as if it was a half-baked product that lacked some kind of key thing...
It lacks the power of Byakugan!
In the original work, Otsutsuki Toneri was the one who seized the eyes of Hyuuga Hanabi to bring Tenseigan to perfection. And now... was the reason why he felt a stagnation like a knife cut before, was it also because of the lack of the Hyuuga clan's Byakugan power...
No, that wasn't the most important thing right now!
When did the Tenseigan come to him?
And it's just as well that he doesn't know, once the Hyuuga clan knows that the Tenseigan is in his possession, what will be the reaction?
From the beginning of Makoto's rise to power, the Hyuuga clan had appeared to be very deferential. Apart from resisting him once during the Konoha doctor's exam session, the rest of the time, it was basically whatever he said.
The Hyuuga clan had also always done their best to fulfill the orders he issued.
Although this could not hide his distaste for the Hyuuga Elders, the relationship between the two sides had indeed always been above par... could the Hyuuga clan's demonic fascination with kekkei genkai, if they were to learn of Tenseigam...
The worst case scenario is nothing more than to wash the Hyuuga blood all over again.
But this is not what Makoto wants.
If you want to wash the big clans, it shouldn't be now, and it shouldn't be with such violent means.
That would inevitably cause irreparable damage to Konoha...
Then... to kill Hyuuga Hiashi?
Makoto didn't do that.
"You are very tired, you have been affected by the enemy's genjutsu in close combat, and even had some strange hallucinations... -
"But as a seasoned ninja, you will naturally ignore these illusions that defy common sense... That's right, that's it."
The light in Makoto's eyes flashed, and Hyuuga Hiashi wanted to say something else, but he had already fainted to the ground as his legs went limp.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Makoto only felt another burst of dizziness as he fell to his knees and gasped for air.
"This Tenseigan is awesome is really awesome, it's this blue consumption is really unbearable... Just an incomplete strike, it almost drained all of my chakra. -
"If it wasn't for the fact that I habitually carry a few jars of chakra on my body, I might have to meet the Sage of Six Paths today... -
"In the past, I always thought that as long as I played a little more steadily, 3 points of stamina would be enough to use, but now I see that if I want to fully harness Tenseigan, I'm afraid that I need to have at least 7.5 points of essence... -
"Cough cough..."
Makoto spat out blood and didn't slow down for a long time.
Fortunately, just at this time, Aunt Snake also came to his side.
"Is everything alright..."
Right now, Aunt Snake was also in a very bad state, her originally soft black hair had completely turned into an explosive head. However, she didn't care about this, but instead strained to help Makoto up.
"It's fine... can't die yet..."
"That's good... By the way, your eyes..."
Aunt Snake licked her tongue as she looked at Makoto's exposed Tenseigan.
-This guy shouldn't be trying to kill for his eyes.
Of course, this was only his worst guess.
After all, the current Aunt Snake was different from the original Aunt Snake in that she no longer needed the Living Corpse Reincarnation to renew her life while possessing more important, and more interesting, subjects such as Chimera buds.
What Aunt Snake seeks is technology, immortality, something more interesting.
Power was important, but it wasn't everything.
The two had worked well together before.
And now ...
Makoto looked at the mess around him and finally made up his mind.
"That... I'm in a complicated situation... Can you do me a favor? I think you're the only one in this world who can do me this favor..."
"What... is it?"
Aunt Snake seemed to have guessed what it was, but she still cocked her head and asked so.
"We are enemies."
Before Makoto could even say his request, a system mission completion dialog box popped up on its own.
It's that weird task where the favorability level exceeds 100 and the two sides can't be in the same camp... Damn, you're done, aren't you?
So you are here waiting for me!
