At the School of the Afterlife, mirrors had a special meaning; each mirror represented a person and hid a memory. The scene before him shocked Chen Ge. He had been at the school for so long and had not seen much mirrors. It turned out that all of them had been hidden there. "Mirrors represent memories, and memories hide one's secrets. The door pusher has been spying on everyone's past."
The door had the same color as the wall; they practically were one and the same. With the reports covering the outer wall, after the death of the door pusher, no one would expect such a room to exist behind the wall of shame.
"This door pusher had a unique hobby. The despair behind the door twisted him, or he gave up on himself and opened his arms to embrace the abyss." Chen Ge was curious about every door pusher, and the School of the Afterlife's door pusher was the only dead door pusher, so he was worth studying.
"Keep close to me." Chen Ge dragged Xu Yin into the hidden room.
"I'm not lying to you. This is the headmaster's office that you wished to come to. The door pusher is the school's owner, and this room is the most hidden room in the school." The doll argued for his innocence, but Chen Ge's attention was distracted by the things inside the room. He did not notice the doll's change. The room was not big. It had no windows, and the only point of connection to the outside world was the door.
"This is the most suffocating room I've ever been in." Bai Qiulin carried the mirror, but he did not follow Chen Ge. He only took a glance and shook his head. "Trapping oneself inside a room filled with mirrors, looking at one's reflection always, even a Specter would rarely decide to do something like that."
"Don't underestimate these mirrors." Chen Ge picked up the broken mirrors on the ground carefully. He held the piece before his eyes, but the reflection was not his own. The mirror was empty; it looked strange and rather pitiful. "The School of the Afterlife is different from other scenarios, and one of the reasons is the existence of these mirrors. Regardless, the secret behind them should be found in this room."
There was barely anywhere to stand in the room; the mirrors and their pieces overlapped over each other, reflecting one another. It was like the school's consciousness above their head, everyone's memory and consciousness overlapping together.
"I've led you to the headmaster's office, so that should prove to you my sincerity." The doll pulled on Chen Ge's clothes to have Chen Ge look at him.
"Hmm." That was Chen Ge's only reply. He was attracted by one of the mirrors in the corner of the room. Most of the mirrors in the room were broken, with irregular edges and blood or stain on their surfaces, but the mirror at the edge was perfectly preserved. It gave off a faded red light, and blood streamed down its surface like something was trying to come out.
"Whose mirror could this be? From the appearance, it looks like a girl's mirror. Could it be Chang Wenyu's?" Chen Ge was suddenly reminded of a problem. If there was a mirror that corresponded to every student in the school, was it possible that Zhang Ya's mirror was there as well?
Shaking his head, Chen Ge pushed this thought out of his mind. Zhang Ya had already killed the door pusher, so why would she leave her mirror behind? With that in mind, Chen Ge's curiosity grew. "Xu Yin, go and get that mirror."
Chen Ge caught the doll, afraid that this was part of his conspiracy. So, to be careful, he would not have the doll have any contact with anything in the room. Listening to Chen Ge's order, Xu Yin walked to the corner, but once he stepped on the mirrors on the ground, all the mirrors started to bleed. Cracks formed, and the mirrors were like mouths that opened up to consume Xu Yin.
"Come back!" Chen Ge yelled. Once Xu Yin stopped, the mirrors in the room slowly returned to normal. Chen Ge felt a tug on his shirt, he turned back to see a new line had appeared on the doll.
"Once you touch the mirrors, the school's consciousness will target you. What happened earlier was a warning."
"I can only look at them but not touch them?"
"Not really. The warning should only work on Red Specters. If it's just a normal lingering spirit, the reaction won't be so intense."
"What if it's a living person?" Chen Ge returned the doll to Xu Yin. "The door pusher and the school's consciousness would not have expected a living person to enter this room. When I picked up a broken mirror earlier, it did not react at all."
"I have no clue…"
Chen Ge stopped asking for the doll's opinion. With a careful step, he moved into the room. Like he expected, nothing changed.
"Xu Yin, guard right there, and don't move."
Moving slowly forward, Chen Ge was stepping on the pile of broken mirrors. "Sorry for the offense." Every mirror held a memory, so Chen Ge apologized in advance to make himself feel better. Lowering his head to look, this place was like a mirror cemetery.
"Only the mirror in the corner has blood flowing on its surface. Whose mirror could it be?" Chen Ge already possessed the painter's mirror, but that information came from a non-smiler, so it could not be trusted fully. Chen Ge could trip easily from the pieces underneath his feet. Being injured was a small thing; Chen Ge did not wish to break the mirrors. He slowly moved his body, and it took him a minute to reach the corner. He squatted down to study the mirror before him. This mirror was different from the others. When he saw the mirror, more blood appeared on the surface like this was not a mirror but a beating heart.
"There is something inside the mirror." Chen Ge used his Yin Yang Vision and realized that the mirror covered in blood was reflecting the room that he was in. Inside the enclosed place littered with broken mirrors, a man in a red shirt was squatting in the corner looking at a girl's mirror with extreme focus.
"Wait a minute! This scene is similar to what…" Chen Ge prepared to retreat when the man in the corner suddenly turned around. The man looked eighty percent like Chen Ge, and the scary thing was that his facial features were still changing, becoming more and more like Chen Ge's.
"A scapegoat?" Chen Ge was still moving back when the man in the mirror screamed. He pulled madly at his face, until he dug pieces of flesh out like the face represented extreme tragedy.
As the man in the mirror went mad, a loud voice came from outside the corridor. Then Chen Ge heard the old headmaster. "Chen Ge! Something is wrong with the school's consciousness! The eye is bleeding!"


The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. 
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

The shuddering aura emanated from the center of the ancient city and permeated to every single corner, shrouding over every cultivator!
On the South city wall, many cultivators were about to charge up to kill the spirit tiger and monkey. However, they paused in their tracks all of a sudden.
On the East city wall, the young lady transformed from the little fox panted slightly.
The Golden Lion's massive figure fell to the corner of the wall, coughing out huge mouthfuls of blood with a tuckered expression.
Although it was a pure-blooded ferocious beast, it could not withstand the combined force of dozens of Glass Palace cultivators - it was severely injured the moment they clashed!
However, the dozens of cultivators did not continue in their pursuit.
Every single cultivator in the ancient city felt a chill down to their bones and turned around instinctively.
Nobody knew what would happen after two Demon Revealing Mirrors were knocked over.
All the cultivators wanted to know if the remaining two Demon Revealing Mirrors could support the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation and continue locking the monster incarnate where he was!
Even the heartbeat of the Sealer, Elder Xiu, in midair skipped a beat.
At that moment, it seemed as though time had frozen.
One breath.
Two breaths…
Su Zimo was still motionless where he was.
Although there were two Demon Revealing Mirrors missing, the runes of the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation were still present and hovered above Su Zimo's head with a firm lock!
Elder Xiu was the first to react as he yelled, "Everyone, don't panic! The runes of the formation are still present and that beast can't break free! The rest of you, head over to guard the Demon Revealing Mirrors on the West and North city walls!"
"Nothing must happen to the two Demon Revealing Mirrors!"
Elder Xiu bolted towards the West city wall as he spoke.
"Fufufufu!"
Suddenly, Su Zimo laughed from the middle of the formation in the ancient city in an unsettling manner.
Elder Xiu was not wrong.
Su Zimo was still unable to break free after two Demon Revealing Mirrors were knocked over.
However, it was also logical that the strength of the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation would diminish after two columns of light were gone.
With the diminished strength of the formation, another power within Su Zimo's body had already been unsealed!
Turning around, Su Zimo glared at the back of Elder Xiu coldly.
Elder Xiu who was in midair suddenly frowned.
He could vaguely sense that someone was glaring at him from the back; it was like a piercing light.
Immediately after, he felt an extreme sense of danger surging from the depths of his heart!
It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Elder Xiu turned around.
Immediately, his eyes were widened with fear in them, as though he had just witnessed an incomparably horrifying scene!
In the middle of the ancient city, a white light was bouncing in Su Zimo's right eye, intensifying and turning brighter!
"Visual technique?"
Elder Xiu could not react from his stupor in time.
A bedazzling beam of light shot forth from Su Zimo's right eye, illuminating the entire world like day as though it was a blazing sun!
Illumination Eye!
The first power to break free after two Demon Revealing Mirrors were knocked over was the Illumination Eye!
Illumination Eye was cultivated through gazing at the blazing sun day and night.
In reality, it had already transcended beyond the power of Inner Core and was almost on the same level as the Heaven and Earth powers.
In other words, the power of Illumination Eye was a type of Dharmic power!
Boom!
An incomparably brilliant beam of light shot forth and penetrated the void, almost crossing half the ancient city as it pierced Elder Xiu's abdomen!
The world seemed to have gone still.
Instantly, the darkness in the ancient city was purged away by the beam of light.
A gigantic hollow wound appeared on Elder Xiu's abdomen and his body was almost snapped.
In fact, there was no trace of blood around the wound - everything was scorched into ash by the power of Illumination Eye and it was terrifying!
The beam of light did not strike Elder Xiu at his vitals.
However, all life had been wiped away from Elder Xiu at that moment.
Illumination Eye had already burned away every single bit of life in his organs!
In reality, that body was already a corpse at that moment!
The only reason why he did not fall immediately was the presence of his Essence Spirit.
Unfortunately, he was almost at the end of his lifespan to begin with and his Essence Spirit was extremely weak. Even if it could break free from the shell of his body, it would not last for more than three breaths!
The murderous intent that shrouded the ancient city alone was more than enough to destroy his extremely fragile Essence Spirit!
Elder Xiu's dimmed and he no longer had any hopes left.
His death was certain and he did not have any regrets.
His true concern was that the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation was most likely unable to hold down the monster incarnate any longer!
The true target of the visual technique was not him, but the Demon Revealing Mirror on the West city wall behind him!
The beam of light penetrated his body and struck the West city wall.
Five cultivators that were standing guard in front of the Demon Revealing Mirror were pierced by the beam of light instantly.
One of them had a full half of his body cut off entirely.
Another cultivator's head was sliced into half!
Boom!
Eventually, the beam of light from Illumination Eye struck the Demon Revealing Mirror and knocked it onto the ground.
Another column of light from the Demon Revealing Mirror disappeared from Su Zimo.
Night loomed down once more.
At the same time, a dark fog enveloped everyone's minds.
Although the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation was still present, the runes surrounding it had faded considerably.
"All Glass Palace cultivators, listen up! Hurry and leave this place, escape as far as you can!"
Elder Xiu exhausted the final bit of his strength and bellowed.
Immediately after, Elder Xiu's glabella shone and a black mountain peak the size of a thumb appeared in midair.
Dharmic power fluctuated right after.
The black mountain peak expanded rapidly with the wind and blanketed Su Zimo's head with a large shadow before crushing down!
Elder Xiu knew that he was dead for sure and this was the final thing he could do.
It would be for the best if he could kill Su Zimo on the spot.
If not, he would still make his death worthwhile if he could buy enough time for the remaining Glass Palace cultivators to escape.
"Ah!"
The moment he knew that monkey and the spirit tiger had attacked the city, Su Zimo was already fuming with rage.
Now that three Demon Revealing Mirrors had been knocked off and the pressure on him was relieved considerably, he could not help but rear his head and release a deafening roar filled with killing intent!
The final Demon Revealing Mirror that was remaining and the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation could no longer seal his Inner Core!
Su Zimo's eyes shone brightly, dark as ink, and his black hair swayed in the air.
Blood qi surged in his body while his Inner Core circulated wildly, releasing a scarlet demonic qi around him - his body was expanding at a rapid pace!
Crackle!
Pang! Pang! Pang!
Su Zimo's tendons and bones sounded at the same time as he flesh expanded.
Right in front of everyone, that body that was around seven feet tall instantly grew to more than a hundred feet - he was like a towering ancient fiendcelestial with a torrential ferocity!
Many cultivators on the city walls were already scared out of their wits.
Right in front of them, the massive figure grew to a height that was even taller than the city walls!
What happened was way too shocking!
Like a demon king and divine being, that figure seemed like it could crush and destroy everything in its path!



He is a young man without a spirit root. It is believed that this denies him the chance at cultivation. However, a mysterious lady imparts a Supreme Demon Classic to him and from then on, he starts his path of cultivation.
He undergoes a total transformation to emerge as the most fearsome and powerful fiendish demon in his era, that even immortals and fiends are fearful of him, and saints are at his beck and call.
Mastering the Supreme Demon Classic is the turning point in his life. He is able to unleash his immense and divine power from within, illuminating the entire universe!

As soon as Aarvi heard Zain who usually stays silent every time over her missions, and her team member's panicked voice uttered Leon's active changing positions, she knew she was in danger. 
Aarvi could hear the quick breaths of many over the call who wanted nothing but her safety. 
Life sure is weird. She was naive and simple, she got the people who didn't care about her. Now, all of them know she is sinister yet they wanted to see her safe.
Her team members were also amazed by looking at Leon who seemed like he was going crazy and was actually so smart to find the trick when they felt their eyes still swirl at the mirrors. Now they understand why Aarvi keeps her guards so high when they are against Leon Harmon.
Instead of doing what others were expecting, Aarvi chuckled, "Catch me if you can." She provoked Leon and walked to the center of the hall as though she was walking on a ramp. 
Her confidence and composure didn't waver a bit.
While playing Leon, Aarvi purposefully didn't step in the center spot of the hall of mirrors. The mirrors in the center could create the most distorting reflection.
Zain let out a light chuckle calming his nerves when Leon ran into the mirror wall. 
'Ugh, it must have hurt terribly.' Many thought when Leon was seeing stars above his head stumbling on his feet to balance himself.
Zain realized his over-smart Pumpkin was purposefully going clock and anticlockwise in the hall hence Leon only knew B and C passageways whereas Leon didn't know the reflection angles changed once she entered the center of the hall.
Leon didn't give up and tried to focus. But before he could pass a passageway, one last time Aarvi slammed the iron rod on his stomach and lurked behind the mirrors.
Leon crouched as he held his perfectly sculpted abs on his shirt and let out a groan in agony. The pain was excruciating so he could guess the force she used, nevertheless, he also knew it wasn't even ten percent of the pain Ava Kelly went through.
'My Pumpkin is savage.' Zain could make out she vented a little of her irritation.
She announced tossing the iron rod, "It's my game, Leon Harmon and you lost." Her win wasn't important unless he lost it.
She effortlessly exited the storage room ticking her checklist.
Confirming Leon about her existence - Check.
Playing Leon's mind - Check.
Making him face the failure - Check.
Inflict some pain - Check.
Be unharmed - Check.
Undisturbing the engagement - Yet to be checked.
A new mission added - What actually triggered Leon? Finding Leon's mysterious weakness.
Leon felt the iron pole roll over next to his feet. Breathing uncomfortable, he grabbed it and hit the mirror wall. Leon noticed the light entering while she was stepping out, "Ava Kelly…" 
'Tal ~sh' Added with his words, the mirror broke and collapsed on the floor.
Aarvi's team members gasped because one needs to use a lot of strength to break that mirror wall.
Leon who felt each step unbearable bumped into the mirror so he started breaking each mirror that came in his way.
Some sharp pieces cut his shirt and some pierced his skin but he walked like they weren't painful.
How can he feel the physical pain when 'Ava Kelly' ignited the fire in him that was flaming him?
---
Aarvi who exited the hall of mirrors started seeing herself everywhere. Her mind wasn't adjusting to normal and her dizziness was making her sickly.
[Pumpkin?]
[Boss?]
"Ms. Evans, shall we help you?" Alex asked, seeing her lean on the wall, shaking her head.
Aarvi knew she needed rest else it would be hard to recover from the images of her moving between mirrors. She long back knew the effects of playing in the hall of mirrors but she didn't expect them to be so hard.
Waving her hand off, "I am alright." She responded to all.
She didn't give in to her frailty. If she could manage inside for so long, she didn't want to fall weak after it. 
If Leon had followed her out, wouldn't she have tried to escape him? So why not a few more minutes?
Holding the wall for support, she walked frowning her brows, blinking her eyes to get adjusted out of the mirror room.
[Pumpkin, you need to rest.] Zain plainly said.
He knew she hadn't slept half of the night, her vigorous demanding brain workout made her body vulnerable. He didn't know if he should scold her for pushing herself inside the hall so much or be proud of her.
Aarvi hummed with a smile on her face. Zain always watches in silence and hangs up the call, to wait for her call after she settles down, it was the first time he couldn't hold himself but speak.
Exiting the lobby, Aarvi felt her head spin due to loud music in the hall. The music had started for the entry of Sean and Sara and colorful lights hurt her strained eyes.
The typical Sean's style, loud and flamboyant.
From her position, she could see Sean dancing to the music and enjoying it with his friends. Although one could easily say he is still young looking at his yet to be matured face, he gave justice to the three-piece suit he was wearing.
Instead of suaveness, he was dashing in the formal grey suit that perfectly fitted his slim physique. He had matched with a white shirt that supported his black plain tie. Wrapped in the double-breasted vest and blazer, he did look like the youngest handsome groom of Mocon.
Many in the hall still couldn't believe the spoiled prince of the Mocon is getting married at such a young age. Disbelief was written on many girls' faces while they stared at a lady who gracefully danced to the music.
Sara Dawson was really cute by appearance. In the insanely inexpensive gorgeous grey color couture gown, she didn't fail to garner the eyes of most of the people in the hall. Not everyone was interested in her but in her dress.
Sara was wearing the off-the-shoulder gown that had a dramatic huge tulle flower at her waist with a cloth falling like spiral leaves. One side of her shoulder was designed like a flower petal giving a dreamy look to her small face.
The specialty of the dress was, it had used the real gemstone red zircon all over the dress. The gemstone was designed like a red flower for the new beginning and the embroidery of leaves held the diamonds to indicate happy life. 
Aarvi had heard the dress itself cost a few million excluding the Zircon diamond choker and earring.
Aarvi realized why Sean was in a formal suit. It was obvious Sara made him wear the suit of her choice.
Nonetheless, Aarvi was neither entertained by what she glanced at nor by the hyped-up vibe of the hall. She craved for, "Aaron." She mumbled, taking a step back due to a throbbing headache and dizziness. 
She wanted to ask Alex for her wallet to fetch her mobile or ask her team to connect Aaron to the call. Before she could utter a word, a dark olive green blazer hung on her bare shoulders and an arm securely wrapped around her from behind leaning her on him.
Aarvi smiled knowing Aaron was still waiting for her. She was content for having him right behind her to lean on, just like every time.
Breathing out slowly, she turned to him and softly stated, "Let me look at you and cure my dizziness."
Zain, her team, and the Shadow team: "..."
One by one all hung up the call before she could shove more dog food.


'Each betrayal begins with trust' 
~~~
‘Endure a while’ was what her grandfather said.

She endured the curses.
She endured the pain.
She endured the unfairness.
She endured the behest.
She endured the down heart.
She endured many things but what did she get in return? 

Betrayal from her own people.

‘This cruel world is not for innocents.’ She had to learn it forcefully laying on the deathbed wishing to leave the world forever.

But fate plays cruelly.

Now she is back to the same world to stand strong and smile at the evil.

Excerpt:

Aarvi Evans typed a message shamelessly on her mobile, [I need a kiss.] Her lips tugged to a rare mischievous curve clicking on the send button.

It wasn’t even fifteen minutes, her mobile went off. She walked out of the private room of the restaurant and answered the call, “Hel…”

She was suddenly yanked to the opposite private room. Before she could absorb the situation, the door was shut, she was pinned to the wall and a pair of thin soft lips pressed on her forehead calming her nerves.

‘How naive!’ She hadn’t thought he would actually ignore his client just to give her a kiss.

A kiss!

Aaron Rivas would have called her naive if he could hear her thoughts. The next second, Aarvi’s petite face was showered with gentle pecks without leaving an inch unattended.

Aaron paused and said, “Cupcake! you hadn’t mentioned where you needed the kiss.”

He didn't let her react and locked her lips.

"Tch."
Mira clicks her tongue as she forms a triangle with her palms after which yellow beams begin to fire out of her mirrors to counter the blades.
The collision between metal and the energy attacks rocks the arena continuously as the participants begin to get riled up by the rather intensifying stakes of the match.
Dan uses the clash as a distraction to move in on Mira's position with the latter seemingly oblivious to that fact as she concentrated on taking out the blades heading towards her.
Dan quickly circled around her with his eyes on the prize but before he could get close a massive beam shoots from the sky and blows up the earth in front of him sending the latter crashing back due to the blast.
Dan turns his attention to the sky to find six distinct mirrors aimed at him.
"I guess she is better than I thought."
Dan thinks to himself with a smirk.
"I'm not like the other fighters you have faced before now. I will not be losing this round."
Mira remarks as she turned all her mirrors in Dan's direction seeing as she had taken care of all the knives shot towards her.
"That is very good."
Dan remarks while nodding his head as he got to his feet.
"Your offense is quite formidable. But then, what about your defense??"
Dan asks as he snaps his fingers after which all the knives that Mira had shot down began to rise up again, floating in mid air due to Dan's manipulation.
"Tch, seriously…"
Mira clicks her tongue as she realizes that she was completely surrounded by the knives.
"How do you plan on evading this??"
Dan asks as he goes on one knee.
"By taking out the source of the attack before he strikes."
Mira remarks as she quickly tries to blast Dan away but then….
"No, you go on the defense."
Dan retorts as he snaps his fingers and the knives immediately shoot towards Mira at supersonic speeds.
"Oh shit."
Mira quickly bends low with her mirrors coming around her to from a protective dome.
The knives smash at the mirrors and the barrage of blades continue with no end in sight.
"Shit he has got Mira pinned down."
Killian thinks to himself as he watched the match with a worried look on his face.
"How do you plan on getting out of this??"
Dan asks as he watched the mirror dome crack under pressure from the incessant knives attacks.
"I can't let him beat me. He has got me pinned just like that crazy girl in the last round. Unfortunately unlike the crazy girl, he doesn't seem to be planning on falling unconscious anytime soon. I need to fight back."
Mira mutters to herself as she tried to keep her mirror wall cohesive so as to prevent any knives from getting through.
"Fine then, I'll do that."
Mira remarks as an idea comes to mind.
"Hopefully it works."
Mira mutters as she slams her palms on the ground.
"Mirāāto : Rifurekushon ( Mirror art : Reflection )."
Mira says.
Just then, the rays of the sun falls heavily on the mirrors surrounding Mira causing Dan to put up a brow.
"Hmm, what's going on??"
Dan thinks to himself as he noticed the rays falling heavily on the mirrors.
Soon after the rays of light are reflected back out twice as strong in an omni directional wave of light that caused everyone in the arena to cover their eyes due to the intense brightness.
Dan is cut off guard by the exceedingly bright glow causing him to release his technique with the knives after which all the knives falls to the ground.
"Shit, what the hell is that??"
Dan thinks to himself as the continues to obscure visibility.
"Nice, it worked. He isn't attacking anymore. Now…."
Mira trails off as she quickly moves in Dan's direction with her mirrors around her.
"I can't see anything."
Dan mutters to himself as he staggered back.
Mira comes within meters of him and places a mirror on his chest after which she yelled in a loud voice.
"Mirāburasuto ( mirror blast )."
The mirror placed on Dan's chest pulses incredibly after which a powerful beam is shot out of it.
The beam slams straight into Dan and sends him flying all the way back into the arena wall, causing a huge explosion that rocked the entire combat arena on impact.
The reflected light soon dims with the spectators looking down to behold a rather wondrous scenery.
The attack Mira had used on Dan had carved up a part of the earth on it's path.
*****************
"Yes. That's my girl."
Killian celebrates mentally with a smile forming on his face.
"A rather amazing strategy. She used the reflected light to blind her opponent and used that to land a decisive hit."
Jeroam remarks while nodding his head.
"This is looking to be a rather wonderful affair between fighters."
Roman remarks while nodding his head.
**************************
Mira was watching the area Dam had crashed through with a keen eye.
"If Killian is right about his assessment regarding this guy then that means that attack wouldn't have taken him out completely. I need to stay on guard."
Mira thinks to herself.
"Damn… that one did a number on me. I don't think I'd be able to withstand one of those."
Dan mutters to himself as he stared at Mira standing at the middle of the arena with her mirrors faced in his direction.
"She broke the metal plating I was using. I even sustained considerable damage."
Dan remarks as he inspected his body while still stuck in the wall.
"Do you plan on mumbling to yourself all day or are you coming out of there to finish this match."
Mira yells out in a provocative manner.
"Hmm." Dan squints his eyes as he struggled to pull himself out of the Raza sized crater he had created with his body.
"I need to take him out before he steadies himself."
Mira thinks to herself as she quickly dashes forward.
"Tch, not even giving me a chance to recover properly." 
Dan mutters as he sights the incoming Mira.
Mira quickly fires a barrage of beams at Dan's location with the latter moving out of the way to avoid the blast.
"I can't just stand on ceremony and wait for her to blast me to oblivion."
Dan mutters as he slams his palms together and forms a sword between them after which he dashes forward.
"I can take him."
Mira remarks as she stops in her tracks and forms a gun with her fingers after which she makes a shooting gesture with all mirrors around her firing at Dan at a rapid rate.
"Tch."
Dan quickly moves to the right to avoid the barrage and began to circle around Mira with the latter following after him with her continuous assault.
*****************
"She is actually pressing Dan back."
Ilara remarks vaguely astonished by the match happening below.
"I told you not to put Mira aside. She maybe be rather annoying at times but that doesn't stop the fact that she has been training for this for a while now. She isn't a pushover."
Okoye remarks with Sai scoffing at her words.
"What is it??.. Do you still think Mira is a pushover??"
Okoye asks.
"Oh please, it's clear to see that she is scared."
Sai remarks while rolling his eyes.
"Huh… Scared??... That's not true."
Okoye retorts as she alternated her gaze between Sai and Mira.
"Look at her. She is scared that if she lets up for even a second, Dan would take advantage of that window. It would seem she and Killian have analyzed Dan well enough to understand how he fights."
Sai remarks.
"Hmm." Okoye doesn't reply as she turns her attention back to the match below.
********************
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Mira doesn't let up in her assault as she continually blasts Dan with the latter narrowly avoiding the incessant attacks as he looked for an opening.
Dan pauses for a brief moment and hurls his sword towards Mira with immense force. Mira doesn't let up as she casually shoots the sword down.
Dan uses the blade as a distraction as he quickly flicked his finger with all the knives scattered around the arena floating into the air.
"Trying to repeat the same trick again won't work."
Mira remarks as she releases her fingers and crosses her hands with her mirrors forming a circular covering around her.
"I know how you fight. You don't know how I fight. This match is mine."
Mira remarks in a menacing tone as she bends low and slams her palms into the earth after which all the mirrors light up and begin to fire in every which way around the arena.
"Let me see you dodge this."
Mira mutters to herself.
"Hmm."
Dan puts up his palm and an iron shield quickly forms in front of him though it was not fast enough to block all the beams that moved in his direction with some of them burning his sides. 


A twist of fate or more like an unexpected turn of events send four individuals on a journey across the realms of Ra'as, a world of superpowers and extraordinary individuals.

Raia felt a prickling sensation on her forehead as soon as she stepped inside the house. Others seemed to have experienced it too by the way the last two people who entered before her—Dean and Lester—were unconsciously touching the center of their brows. No one was speaking about it so maybe they'd already dismissed it as something unimportant. 
 She couldn't blame them. The welcoming ambience of the interiors was distracting. It smelled of aged wood and floor wax. Everything was clean and impeccably arranged, the polished floors would've passed as mirrors themselves. One could stand in the doorway and get a clear view of every essential facility in the first floor. 
 White curtains hung over the two huge jalousie windows in the living room, their fabric was thin enough to allow a good amount of sunlight to stream through. The set of furnitures were pretty basic, but that only made the entire space seem completely breathable and relaxing.
 Her heart leaped as the door closed behind her like a thunderclap. For a moment, she felt as though she'd left a piece of her outside.
 "Mister Rudy's wife will be here in a few minutes to prepare our dinner," Sarah said, referring to the old man from earlier. "You guys want to go upstairs now? I'll show you the rooms." She motioned to the curved wooden staircase beside the hallway connected to the dining room.
 "You girls just leave your bags here. We'll take care of them," Dean offered, from which Michael had grumbled, "Wait dude, we will?" 
 They all shuffled their feet, dragging their travel bags and suitcases near the foot of the stairs, their wheels skidding across the wooden floor.
 A crease formed between Raia's eyebrows. Her shoulder bag was one thing, since she'd been carrying it with her the whole time, but how come she couldn't remember bringing her suitcase in? Come to think of it, she couldn't recall the others walking through the door holding their bigger bags either—just the ones already strapped around their bodies.
 Did the caretaker bring the rest of their luggage in all on his own? But she didn't see him. And it was as if these bags had magically appeared under their grasp. 
 "Oh thank you guys," Rachel and Trisha said at the same time and they both giggled.
 Raia ran a hand across the side of her neck, confused, but she still scooched her suitcase next to the others. She stepped away and threw a befuddled gaze at the door. Just how exhausted was she?
 "Rai, let's go upstairs. Let's leave the boys here." Trisha called out, waving a hand in the air.
 "Since when did the girls lose their two hands?" Michael muttered in sarcasm as she walked past them. 
 Lester slapped Michael's arm. "Stop whining like a babe, Micks. Carrying bags won't kill you." He bent over to grasp the handle of the two biggest suitcases, and Raia failed to resist feasting her eyes on those biceps.
 "Dude, my back will."
 "How old are you?" Lester looked up, scrunching up his face. He caught her staring at him and her cheeks burned hot in an instant. She looked away and hastened toward the stairs. Her heart raced like crazy as she made it upstairs. She seriously needed to learn how to control her reactions, otherwise, one of these days, people would figure out her silly crush on Lester.
 And that would be freakin' awkward for sure.
 A long narrow hallway greeted them upstairs, floorboards squeaking underfoot. Raia's eyes widened in astonishment. Sarah's grandmother surely had some sick fetish here. Rows of mirrors hung on either walls, all in various shapes and frame designs. There were flat and concave ones, and most of them were retro style. 
 "Is your grandmother a collector? I feel like I'm in an art gallery or something." Rachel said with amusement. 
 "No offense, Sarah, but this kinda creeps me out." Trisha wasn't wrong about that, considering the goosebumps racing up Raia's arms. These mirrors felt like they were trying to steal a chunk of her soul.
 "Oh it's fine." Sarah waved her hand dismissively and leaned against the unoccupied portion of the wall. Rachel and Trisha went ahead and examined the mirrors closely as if they were precious artifacts.
 Raia wouldn't touch any of them.
 "It's her obsession, back when she was still normal," Sarah added.
 "Normal, huh?" She winced as her gaze swept around the hallway. "I surely wouldn't want to meet her other version." 
 Sarah stepped toward her and patted her on the shoulder. "Raia dear… you actually remind me of her sometimes." 
 Raia glared at her and Sarah chuckled before ushering them into their rooms. 
 Raia was relieved the room assigned to her hadn't been turned into a mirror museum. She expected she'd be getting a smaller one, but this was surprisingly spacious. The cream-colored canopy bed situated in the middle could easily fit two people. Thank God there were three pillows on it. Anything less and she wouldn't be able to sleep. 
 A tall hardwood cabinet stood next to the doorway, and close to the window was a round table with two wooden chairs. A fan was mounted to the wall opposite the bed and under it was a vintage-looking dresser with an adorable stool shaped like a marshmallow. A white cloth shrouded the dresser's mirror which she would've yanked off if she wasn't already sick of seeing mirrors. 
 She walked over to the open window, warm and fresh afternoon wind pouring through the gaps of the black curved grill. Her fingers ran along the edge of the windowsill, its wooden surface wide enough to be sat on. She could get a partial view of the backyard from up here, spotting a fish net hammock hanging under a massive tree. 
 "Are we really gonna do this now, Babe? We might miss dinner." 
 Raia froze at the clear sound of Trisha's voice as if she was just standing behind her. 
 "A quickie, then?" That was Lester. What the heck? Smooches and giggles filled her ears and she turned, grimacing at the wall separating her room from Lester and Trisha's. How thin is this wall?
 She was about to knock on the wall to check its integrity, but Trisha's loud moan made her stop. 
 "Please tell me this isn't what I'm gonna hear during our entire stay here," she muttered, pursing her lips.
 "Ohh, Babe…"
 "Oh for God's sake!" She threw her hands up and before she could turn her back, she glimpsed traces of figures moving underneath the cloth covering the dresser mirror.

In the late 1990s, a group of spiritual dimension explorers attempted to access the Akashic Plane, the place where all thoughts and events of reality are recorded: past, present, and future. Something went terribly wrong with their quest and they were pulled deeper into the Dark Plane. They had been trapped, bound to the worst demon of all. Now the next generation must find a way to liberate their guild from the eternal curse. Even if it means sacrifices and tragedies in exchange for finding the true Soulbound Breaker.

"Everybody group up this mist is weakening our power! And those tridents are powering them up! Once your group up in some form, have one side attack, the trident, and the other attack their main body at the same time! Their not invulnerable even with this mysterious trident!" Kazami used his Qi to reinforce his voice and loudly informed them all while continually jumping back to Brenda.
Kazami was able to deduce the mist's weakening effect in a split second as he clashed with the trident; it should've killed the shark as he was in his divine power state.
But when he unleashed his fist, he felt more cumbersome and slower than usual, and he was able to handle some strange power when clashing with the trident.
Even with Brenda, he noticed her attack should've crushed its whole hand as it was an attack from her bloodline state something that breaks even 5th level Origin Formation, people.
Hearing this, the group all commenced to pairing up with each other to finish off these sharks.
"I will assist you two." Slade had hurriedly approached and spoken to them. Nodding their head, everyone then heard the strongest shark declaring,
"Hahaha! Do you hear that my brothers? They think they got us figured out! Fall back now!" He ordered, but Kazami wasn't going to let them join up again.
"Yu, go all out and block the strongest one-off and also separate the weaker ones!" He roared to her and capturing the idea, Lun Yuo initiated her divine powers to its highest state, which taxes her harder than usual being in the mist.
But she still was able to sprout several vines that came out the red ice where the strongest one was standing surrounding him and blocking him off from the others while it did that the vines also was shooting towards the weaker ones intending to separate them.
"The hell is this?!" The strongest one screeched and smashed his trident against one of the vines thinking it would break easily but,
"I can't completely break it?!" The vine did have along cut in it, but it was still blasting towards the lesser sharks.
The sharks watched several vines come at them; the nine others got forced to evade around the vines as the speed of the vines didn't give them enough time to use their tridents.
The vines led to the sharks falling right into their trap and having to fight the paired up people as the vines kept chasing them about.
"I think this should be enough besides your vine left one for us to deal with," Hilles said as he and Myla were both next to Lun Yuo and faced against a shark beast.
Turning off her divine powers, Lun Yuo felt slight dizziness but focus up to take on the shark in front of them, who was only a peak Spirit Formation shark.
"Do you honestly think that guy shitty strategy will work?! You won't even know how you die now!" The shark boldly declared, and with his trident shining, he swung it down, unleashing a big wave of blue shark Qi.
At their distance, it will be impossible for them to dodge it and realizing that Hiles went in front of the two and released a powerful defensive cultivation skill named,
"Masked Wall!"
He called out, and a transparent earth Qi wall sprouted out in front of them, shielding them from the shark attacks.
"Covering like a turtle, eh? Let me see how long you can last against my endurance." He challenged, and as it cost him no energy at all, he sends out another wave of the same attack. After one attack, he would immediately send out another one making sure they couldn't go anywhere.
"I can only hold on for a little bit; I have to pour everything in this wall since this mist is lessening our power, and his attacks are relentless. Do you two got something to strike this guy?" Hiles asked them while fueling his wall against the shark attacks.
"Ah, I have something! My skill is "Mad Mirrors," which allows me to create ice mirrors that can either blast out endless icicle spears or send me to my opponent in a flash!" Myla cried out, and this got Lun Yuo to think of something and explaining an idea to her she said;
"I got an idea, if you can create four ice mirrors, aim it only at the trident, then while he busy and defending against it, I rush and hold the trident in place while you flash to him and freeze him. Got it?" Lun Yuo had a sound plan as they all notice, the sharks will only use their trident to attack and never get too close to attack them.
Nodding, they didn't waste any time, and Myla went to the right edge of the wall just barely scraping out and started her skill.
Both of hand was entirely in blue ice Qi as a strand formed between her two hands which gave birth to four ice mirrors. Concentrating even harder, she pours all of her power into this attack pushing the mirror to be even more potent than usual.
As the shark was firing away from his trident without a second thought, he didn't pay attention to the ice mirrors.
He barely reacted in time to an icicle spear shooting his way, and the power coming from the attack wasn't something he could tank even with the trident strengthening his body. He stopped attacking the wall and swung at the spear with his trident breaking it apart.
"That the be-" He was going to mock until he now fully paid attention to four mirrors shining in bright blue light, and immediately when he sawed the mirrors, it shot out endless firm ice spears towards him.
Focusing on the spears, he, in a rapid and fluent motion, spun his trident in a circular motion in front of him, blocking all of the spears coming at him.
While Myla was doing this she nodded at Lun Yuo and getting the signal, she aroused her divine powers and rushed in between the spears flawlessly maneuvering around them in a way the shark didn't even notice.
"Hey, you do know once you burn, it's your death... Huh?!" Before he knew it, there was Lun Yuo right in his face, and wasting no time, her hand shinning green had successfully grabbed the spinning trident not even affected by the trident glow and wrap the trident up with vines.
"What! How can you even touch my trident?! You should be burning up in a silver light!" But no matter what he thought, Lun Yuo wouldn't let go meaning almost all of his advantages were useless.
Realizing the dire situation he was in, the shark was going to bite his tongue to escape from this predicament, but a hard rock launched into his mouth, making him bite on to that, shattering some of his teeth.
The shark couldn't even process how did that happen when Myla appeared like a ghost above him and holding out her hand she shouted;
"Below Zero!"
Strings of ice blue Qi shot out of palms and latched onto the shark. The shark was slowly getting encased in ice, but before he could fully freeze, his eyes went mad his trident shined brighter than ever before. It shredded the vines that were on it and were even burning Lun Yuo hands.
"DIE WITH ME!" 
He fiercely shrieked, but guessing on what the shark planned to do, Lun Yuo eyes went half green now, and she yanked the trident out of his and tossed it high in the air.
"Run back to the wall!" 
Lun Yuo shouted to Myla, but not before she thrust a vine that sprouted from her hands through the shark head, killing him. They managed to make it back to the wall, and Lun Yuo turned off her divine powers and then;
'BOOOOM!'
A blue blast blinded their eyes, and they still had to form a barrier around themselves as the wall didn't entirely block the blast.
Once it was over, the trident fell to a huge hole formed on the red ice surface. The three were exhausted from this battle as they had to unleash all their energy in every attack.
Walking over, Lun Yuo picked up the trident floating in the water. Suddenly the trident was starting to glow blue, and not wanting anything to happen, she quickly activated her divine powers and suppressed the trident blue glow.
With it, in her hands, she started to think,
'This could be our ticket to victory.'
Then, the three of them felt a suffocating pressure coming from where the peak Origin Formation shark was.
…
At the same time, Kuzumi, Muji, and Ju Jia paired up with each other and was facing against another peak Spirit Formation shark and were trying to come up with ideas on how to attack the trident.
Ju Jia had created a hard blizzard where they were fighting and Kuzumi, and Muji was following her not to get lost and confuse the shark senses.
The shark could see clearly in the mist, but the blizzard massively messed with its senses and vision, making it harder for him.
"Enough with the cheap tricks! You can't run forever!" The shark exclaimed while sending out blue shark Qi attacks to whatever previous spot the three were hiding in once it discovers it.
"You have blade Qi. Cause I just got an idea on how to beat this shark. Follow my lead." Kuzumi said to Muji while in a blind spot for the shark.
"Tch, I'll give these prey one thing at least they're better at running around than the last bunch." The shark beast mocked, but then he felt something sharp graze his face in a second.
Sharply turning around, he tried to identify where they were, but again he felt another sharp graze on his other side. It became a repetition process where the shark kept trying to feel out what was grazing him, but whatever it was, outmatch his reaction speed.
While the trident did give them astronomically prowess in attacking and extra bodily defenses, their other abilities, such as senses or speed, would still be far weaker than what the trident was providing them.
Even if he tried to relly on his hearing for the attack, it proved useless as the quick attacks were soundless. 
"Don't fuck with me!" Finally, having enough of getting scratch, he yelled and raised his trident above, pouring a lot of power into it and making the trident shine a bright blinding blue light.
During this, from the snow right under him, a sturdy blue blade Qi sprung out and struck his head, knocking him off balance.
The shark was dazed and confused from that surprise attack, almost falling backward on his ass. But suddenly he stops falling and couldn't move his trident no matter how hard he pulls. Turning his head behind, it was Kuzumi with her pupils half silver being in her most active state.
Her hand was pure silver and was preparing to yank the trident out of his hand, and Muji was coming in for the kill, but out of nowhere, the shark eyes went utterly blue, and his trident flashed a blinding blue. He shook Kuzumi off and shot out of there faster than the three of them could react too.
"The hell was that about it?" Ju Jia question, but right then, they all heard a loud and booming voice accompanying by overwhelming pressure.
"Looks like judgment day has come for all of you!!"

Zabuza appeared behind Tazuna, Sasuke and Sakura. Sasuke looked at Naruto. He just smiled at Sasuke. 
But then Sasuke looked at Naruto. He was smiling.
"Shadow clone Jutsu"
Naruto created 10 clones. He swung his sword, but Naruto's clone used Rasengan to Zabuza. Zabuza turned to water.
"water clone, I see"
Meanwhile, another Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi and swung his sword. But when the sword split Kakashi's body in two, Kakashi's turned into water.
Then Naruto rushed toward Zabuza with Rasengan.
"Eat this, Rasengan"
Zabuza defended with his sword, but then he was sent flying. But then Zabuza turned to water.
Then Zabuza appeared behind Naruto, putting a kunai in Naruto's neck.
"Who are you? You can use Yondaime Hokage's jutsu?"
Naruto just laughed and detonated himself. "Clone explosion Jutsu"
Zabuza was sent flying, he entered the river.
He stood on the water and made a hand seal. 
"Water style: Dragon Bullet Jutsu"
Zabuza manipulates the water in the river into the shape of a giant dragon. The giant water dragon rushed toward Naruto and his teammates.

"Fire style: Dragon Bullet Jutsu"

But then two Naruto made hand seal 
"Water style: Dragon Bullet Jutsu"
"Earth Style: Dragon Bullet Jutsu" 
The water and earth dragons appeared and rushed to Zabuza. The water and earth Dragon hit Zabuza.
Zabuza was thrown for hundreds of meters.
Suddenly, the needles were thrown from the forest, another Naruto came up and deflected the needles with kunai.
Naruto said "Don't steal my enemy"
Suddenly a man with a mask appeared.
He said "thank you very much. I have been searching for the opportunity to kill Zabuza for a long time"
Kakashi "That mask… you are a Kirigakure hunter-nin"
A masked man "Impressive. You are correct indeed."
Sakura "Hunter-nin?"
A masked man "Yes, my duty is hunting down missing-nins. Let me hunt him, brat. Hand him to me"
Zabuza was lying on the ground. After receiving Naruto's Jutsu, he got severe injuries and couldn't move.
But then Naruto took Zabuza's sword, Kubikiribocho. Then he swung the sword, beheaded Zabuza. Zabuza's head was rolling on the ground.
Naruto said "Nice sword. Now he is dead, you don't need to kill him"
"YOU"

The sea of flames melt the demonic mirror and the frozen river, and Haku went out from the mirror.
But suddenly one Naruto appeared and aimed a Rasengan on Haku.
"Rasengan"

Naruto rushed toward Haku and swung Kubikiribocho, beheaded Haku.
Sakura cried loudly "Kyaaaa" and then she and Tazuna started vomiting.
Meanwhile, Sasuke asked Kakashi "Sensei, Between you and Naruto, who's stronger?"
 Kakashi said to him "Of course it's him"
After hearing this, the jealousy in Sasuke's heart grew stronger.
Meanwhile, Naruto started to save Haku's card, the bloodline from Yuki clan, Ice release.
"Now, Let's rob Gatou…"

During pre-gennin class, Naruto looked at Iruka standing straight and proud before him.

 Suddenly, a series of skill cards appeared. 「Shuriken Master」 「 Clone Jutsu」 「Transformation Jutsu」 「Intermediate Physical Ability」 Which skill card do you wish to extract? 

then he looked at Sasuke...


“Wait… what? This golden finger… you must be pulling my leg! Not only skill cards but I can also extract bloodline like Uchiha? Oh My God… what is this?!”

* * * * *
When Cao Cao came back to his senses, he was in a world of pure white.

Inside the light, countless images of himself were floating.

He soon noticed that he was surrounded by countless mirrors.

He was surrounded by walls of mirrors in every direction.

(A labyrinth of mirrors)

A world of pure white light.

In the space where everything was made from mirror, the light that shone in from somewhere was reflected without escaping anywhere and the world was filled completely with pure white light.

The mirrors that surrounded him from four directions reflected the scenery.

He couldn't even make a distinction between the sky and earth, as if he was standing inside pure white light.

A fantastical scenery.

Cao Cao couldn't grasp at all whether in front of him, there was a wall of mirrors or a road to proceed forward.

Even though everything should be happening in his mind, similar to a 'spiritual body', it felt completely similar to his original flesh and blood body.

The flesh and blood body and the spirit were bound to each other at an atomic level. Something that couldn't be done in the actual physical body wouldn't be able to be performed in this spiritual body; both were tied with each other.

It was at that moment--

Cao Cao heard a splash.

He spontaneously ran in the direction of the sound, but the direction where he was running to was a wall of mirrors.

There, a particular scene was showing on one of the mirror's.

What the image showed, was a young boy with black spiky hair throwing a rock across the water surface.

"This time, I will reach the other side for sure."

However, someone else had thrown a rock even before he could. It was a boy of similar age with a bowl cut hair shape.

"Just aim it a little higher than you'd expect."

"Who are you?" The boy with black hair demanded.

"Right now, I'm just your rival at stone keeping."

"I asked you who you are!"

"It's Hashirama. Although I can't tell you my last name due to various reasons... ..."

Then--

The scene cut off and shifted to another mirror.

Cao Cao immediately spun around.

- - - - -

The two boys had grown slightly older and they were at the same riverbank.

"We're shinobi. We never know when we are going to die. If there was a way where neither side had to die..."

"It would be where both sides revealed their insides and hid nothing from each other... ...And poured each other drinks and drank together like brothers."

The scene revealed the two boys becoming friends quickly, and constantly sparring with one another to train and improve their respective skills.

It shifted again.

This time, the two boys had become respective leaders of their clans but, their battles continued on, neither sides relenting.

Until--

Flying Raijin Slice!

"Izuna!"

"Izuna, hang in there!"

This is...

Cao Cao's mind started to hurt as he saw this scene.

Intense feelings erupted inside him.

Anger, sadness, hatred, love--

I knew it...

Izuna...

However, he willed himself to continue watching.

Currently, the two boys from young were facing each other again, along with their respective clan members, including the one who killed Izuna.

"What happened to Izuna?"

"My little brother ended up dying from that day's wounds..."

"Leaving me powers that will help protect the Uchiha!"

Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan...

Cao Cao knew the words even before it was said.

Susanoo.

Wood style : Deep Forest Bloom (Mokuton : Kajukai Kōrin)

A drastic battle engaged between the two, with defeat going to the black hair male.

Eventually, the two clan leaders had decided to make peace with one another.

Uchiha Madara. Senju Hashirama.

The Uchiha and Senju had formed an alliance.

"What should we name our village?"

"How about... ...The Village Hidden in the Leaves? Konohagakure."

For a time, everything was peaceful.

However, even though there was a period of peace...it didn't last.

What the mirror showed next was the start of everything.

- - - - -
"This is the stone tablet that has been passed down the Uchiha for generations. The special text requires visual prowess to decipher. This is what I am able to decipher so far--"

"One God seeking stability split into light and shadow. And it is these opposites together that give rise to all things in the universe. This is a universal truth."

"In short, it states that true happiness can be found when two contrary powers cooperate together. However, it could be interpreted differently."

"I'm going to leave the village. I've found a different path to take. Cooperation is merely a quiet form of conflict."

"You just can't see it, Hashirama--"

"What's beyond this--"

"The dreams of the far future."

- - - - -
The image became blurry and the wall of mirror broke.

BOOM!

Sounds of explosion.

Cao Cao entered through a narrow path and soon, he came out to a slightly open spot like a plaza.

He was surrounded on all four sides by mirrors again.

"Will you destroy everything that we've accomplished up till now, Madara?"

"Nothing will come of us battling each other. This fight will only hurt...the village and shinobi."

"I've already reached it!"

"Then so be it."

"Sage Art : Wood Style, Shinsu Senju(Veritable 100 Armed Kan'on)"

"Here I come, Madara!"

"Come, Hashirama!"

STAB!

"I will not forgive anyone who threatens the village--"

"Be they a friend...sibling...or even my own child..."

Madara collapsed on the water surface.

"You've changed...Hashirama."

However, unbeknownst to him, Madara wasn't dead.

Izanagi...

The mirror shattered apart into particles of light.
- - - - -
"Wake up to reality. Nothing ever goes as planned in this world. The longer you live, the more you realize that only pain, suffering and futility exist in this reality."

Cao Cao turned his head.

This time, the mirror showed an elderly Madara talking to a young boy.

"Listen to me. In this world, wherever there is light, there are always shadows. As long as there is the concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish desire for peace gives rise to war. And hatred is born in order to protect love. These are all nexuses, causal relationships that cannot be separated. Normally...that is..."

"A world of only victors, a world of only peace...a world of only love--"

"I will create such a world."

"Madara, teach me how to create such a world. This world of dreams."

"I don't need your thanks anymore. Come, look into my eyes."

"After I received the cells of Senju Hashirama, nothing happened at first. It was only when I was starting to die of old age...that my Rinnegan awakened. I was then able to summon and extract the husk of the ten tails from a Seal stone. I call it the Gedo statue."

Infinite Tsukuyomi--

A world of dreams.

I know all these...

I remember now...

"Now go on..."

"Until the time when I will be revived..."

"You shall be..."

- - - - -
"I won't allow you to do anything further."

"I just severed the Karmic cycle of this world, from their suffering, pain and futility."

"Naruto, you're the one who is interfering with everyone's happiness. I've transformed hell into heaven. I've finally corrected Hashirama's mistakes."

"I just want to be the savior that ends the long history of fighting among shinobi."

"Just know this--"

"It's all over."

STAB!

Cao Cao received a slight feedback to his head.

"You're wrong, Madara."

"You are not the savior...nor is this the end of things."

Black Zetsu.

"What are you saying...I created you...You are my will incarnate."

"Wrong again. My will is..."

"Kaguya's!"

"Why did this happen--"

"Hashirama..."

"Where...did I go wrong..."

- - - - -
"Is that you, Hashirama?"

"Mm."

"I guess neither you, nor I, could achieve what we wanted."

"It's never that easy! Our job is to do all we can, and bequeath the rest for future generations to accomplish."

"So naive...as usual..."

"You...were always...the optimist."

"But perhaps..."

"That is the correct path."

"But you dream..."

"Still lives on."

All mirrors around Cao Cao finally shattered.

Hah...

Cao Cao collapsed to the ground.

I remember everything...

The plan...

Hashirama...

Uzumaki Naruto--

Uchiha Sasuke--

My failure--

Right now, Cao Cao was receiving the feedback from all these dreams.

That's right...

I am...

Suddenly, a mirror appeared right in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face was largely rising to the surface in that mirror and at that instant, the face started to change.

This guy is--

From the mirror, a fair skin man with spiky black hair stepped out from the mirror.

Cao Cao could not help but leak out--

"You are--"

- - - - -
"Uchiha Madara."

The Monkey King nodded and immediately shouted, "Transformation: Adamantine Staff!"
With another puff of white smoke, the monkey king disappeared.
Almost at the same time, Enma performed the transformation technique, Sandaime leaped high in the sky, it was as if he flew up momentarily.
When the body of Sarutobi Hiruzen was midair, the Adamantine Staff elongated rapidly as it penetrated the white smoke, reached the feet of Sandaime, and extended further at the lightning speed.
The speed of elongation was far beyond the imagination of anyone, and in just a few breaths, Sandaime caught up with the flying queue of the Ice Mirrors.
'Uh… is that also how it works!?' – Suijin saw that Sandaime used the Adamantine Staff and almost caught up with him, and he was taken aback!
Without waiting for Suijin to recover, Sandaime who was just behind the ice mirrors printed some hand seals at a fast pace, took a deep breath, his chest bulging to the limit, and then shouted, 
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
WHooooosh!
The moment Sandaime spit out the hot billowing fire Jutsu, the red-hot bellowing fire swallowed the long line of ice mirrors floating in the air.
However, Suijin had already reacted before, the moment Sandaime's seals were completed, he had already used the Water Clone Technique and his Suijin body had already escaped under the fluorescent cover of the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals in the moonlight.
Therefore, although the Ice mirrors were damaged, because the Jutsu used by Sandaime was very powerful even though it is just a B-Class Fire Jutsu, Suijin still wasn't swallowed by the flames.
Gently landing on a tree in the forest, Suijin raised his head to see the flames that illuminated the dark forest with orange translucent light and muttered, "The old bones have not deteriorated yet!?"
Sandaime also landed on a big tree on the opposite side not far away, holding the shrunken Adamantine Staff, and stared coldly at Suijin.
Seeing the cold look he was getting, Suijin chuckled, "Hokage-Sama is really very experienced, surprisingly, he forced me to come out of the Ice Mirrors, it appears that you still haven't gotten old, huh, Sarutobi Hiruzen-dono!?"
Sandaime coldly glared at Suijin and said, "You dare to enter my Konoha and cause such chaos, no matter your identity and affiliation, you will not escape today!" 
Looking at the murderous intent of Sandaime, Suijin smirked and decided to play with him for a bit. "Don't be so sure, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the person responsible for the Kyuubi's chaos, and the death of Konohagakure's beloved Yondaime Hokage and his wife is still on the loose, your words don't hold much weight!"
"What, you are…!?" – before Sarutobi could ask anything, Sauijin interrupted him, "Hahaha… does that shock you? You want to know more about it, don't you? Too bad Hokage, coz' I ain't giving out anymore!"
Frankly speaking, Kuroto has never liked Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is unworthy of the epithet, 'God of Shinobi!' After all, his strength is too weak compared to Shodaime-Sama!
How many people are capable of defeating Senju Hashirama in the history of the Shinobi World, even if the Otsutsuki of the mythical era are taken into account?
The answer may not be clear, but one thing is clear, it is that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not among them!
Not to mention, Sandaime acts like an amiable old grandpa, but in actuality, he is a hypocritical old coot, who just silently let Konoha deteriorate, in the name of his personal kindness!
Where was that kindness, when Uzumaki Naruto had to bear the hatred of the entire village!?
Where was that kindness, when Uchiha Itachi had to bear the burden of killing his entire clan, hatred of the only brother he loved so much, and the fate of death as a rogue-nin!?
Sarutobi Hiruzen isn't kind!
If he was, then he couldn't have let such cruelty befall the citizens of his village!
He is just an old coot, who is hesitant to get rid of the tumor plaguing and deteriorating Konoha internally because he believes that the tumor is still necessary for the stability of the village!
Whether in terms of personal strength or character, he is unworthy of being a Hokage!
Calming himself down, Suijin focused at the front, because no matter how weak compared to the Shodaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still not someone to be taken lightly, after all, his teacher Orochimaru also suffered so miserably at the hands of Sandaime in the main story, and currently the geezer is a decade younger, not someone Suijin can casually ignore, with the current strength of Suijin body!
Just the Fire Style Jutsu overhead clearly indicates that Sandaime has an immense chakra pool!
Coupled with being hailed as the 'Professor' because of his proficiency and mastery of all the ninjutsu Konoha has to offer, be that Bokijutsu, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Fuinjutsu, Kinjutsu, Juinjutsu, and more!
Anyone with a non-overwhelming strength will feel a headache when dealing with him.
Thinking of this, Suijin suddenly thought, 'I don't know when will Shisui arrive?'
Since he didn't want Sandaime to take the opportunity, so making up his mind, Suijin started printing hand seals, "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Suijin expelled a large volume of water high in the air from his mouth, that cascaded down like a giant waterfall at Sandaime.
Sandaime's expression remained unchanged and he easily avoided the attack by leaping back using the Adamantine Staff.
Suijin naturally expected such a thing to happen and didn't expect the 'Great Waterfall Technique' to cause any harm to the Professor, the only reason he used this technique was that he needed a huge amount of water vapor that would be produced because of the heat left by the previous Fire Release Jutsu used by Sandaime.
Without waiting for a moment, Sauijin printed the hand seals and stomped heavily on the ground with his right leg, "Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
As soon as his feet landed, a wall of water rose from the ground and shot high, but Suijin wasn't finished yet, as he put his palm against the high-pressure water wall and shouted, 
"Ice Release: Ice Condensation!"
Under the action of the Ice nature chakra, the high wall of water was instantly frozen into an ice wall.
On the other side of the wall, Sandaime stared at Suijin's action with a shocked, and doubtful expression.
He was really shocked at the volume of the Chakra the other party was using in all of his techniques, but he was doubtful as to why would he make an ice wall between the two of them?
It couldn't be that he thinks that just a mere wall of ice will give him the opportunity to escape, right?
However, without giving him much time to wait, feeling the sudden drop in the temperature because of the cold ice wall. Sandaime looked at the sudden darkened sky that hid the full moon behind a layer of dark clouds.
With a thinking expression, Sandaime analyzed, the 'Fire Dragon Flame Bullet' I used heated the air too much, the 'Great Waterfall Technique' he used increased the moisture in the surroundings creating hot vapor, and finally the Ice Wall he used cooled down the rising vapor leading to the formation of rainclouds above us, that will rain at any moment… oh no!' 
The clouds were blocking the moonlight and Sandaime immediately, guessed the intention of the enemy, but it was already too late to stop him.
Pitter-patter…
Without making them wait too much, it soon began to rain.
Suijin hiding on the other side of the Ice wall laughed loudly, "Will the one entitled as the 'God of Shinobi' be able to resist the power of nature!?"
At this time, a lot of the Anbu appeared at the side of Sandaime.
Looking at the huge ice wall before them, everyone had a solemn expression!
The arrival of the Anbu made Suijin frown and immediately said, "Hokage-dono, I suggest that you better send away these miscellaneous fishes, or…" – Suijin didn't need to speak any further, as he knew Sarutobi Hiruzen was wise enough to understand what could be the consequences if not.
Suijin doesn't want to kill the Anbu ninjas, after all, everything he is doing is to make sure that the damage Konoha suffers is the least, and if he; himself was to kill the Anbu Shinobi, then there would be no point in doing everything!
Besides, Suijin is already tired of keeping his strength on the same level as Sandaime, he isn't sure whether he would be able to control his strength to the level that he doesn't hurt the Anbu members.
Sandaime also knew what it means to fight an Ice Style shinobi on a rainy day, and understands that the Anbu wouldn't able to do much in this level of battle, therefore, he told them, "Step back!"
Some of the Anbu tried to retort, 
"Hokage-Sama, please let us fight him!"
"Yes, Hokage-Sama, it is our duty to protect Konoha from the likes of him!"
"We will not let the 'Will of Fire' we inherited from our predecessors to be trampled upon, nor will we let some bounty-nin, disrupt the peace that so many of our own died for!"
Sandaime shook his head, "It truly warms this old man's heart that each of the Konoha Shinobi inherits the 'Will of Fire'  in their hearts, but let your Hokage protect you this time, the enemy is not someone to be taken lightly, I do not wish for my people to die before me, therefore, you will all spread around to make sure he doesn't escape, while I will personally deal with him! This is an order!" – The majestic momentum displayed by Sandaime left everyone in awe, and they subconsciously couldn't refute Hokage-Sama's command.
All the Anbu members, including the Hokage Guards, spread far away in a huge circle, enclosing both Sandaime-Sama and Suijin within it. 
Although everyone was far away, each one was at the battle-ready state. If there was even a single moment where the fight turned against the favor of Sandaime-Sama, they wouldn't hesitate to kill the enemy!
At this moment, Sandaime turned towards Suijin and said, "I guess I am grateful towards you for not killing any of my Shinobi, as a sign of my thanks I will give you a chance to surrender yourself peacefully, you will not be killed, that I can assure you!"
Suijin shook his head, "Thanks but no thanks, I am fine as I am!"
With a sigh, Hiruzen's gaze hardened as he said, "In that case, this old man will finally have to move his old bones to bring you down for disrupting the hard-won peace that so many of my Shinobi died to bring!"
"But the question is, can you?" – Suijin asked.
"You will know soon enough!" – Sandaime said.
"I guess, I will!" – with that said, Suijin nodded, and printed the hand seals, "Be careful Sandaime Hokage-dono!"
"Humph!" – Sandaime coldly snorted, while holding the Adamantine staff at the back.
Suijin completed the hand seals as an icy cold Chakra swept the entire battlefield,
"Ice Release: The All Killing Rain!"
The Icy cold Chakra violently exploded with Suijin at the center, all the raindrops falling from the sky momentarily halted in their path and turned into countless sharp Senbons!
