Shinnosuke silently walked out of the tent, his steps slightly heavy. The conversation he had just had with his father was still echoing in his ears, and he felt an unprecedented sense of irritability and oppression.
The father was always protecting Tobirama...:
No matter what Tobirama did, his father could always find a reason to defend him.
Even now, at times like these, his father still tries to persuade himself to understand Tobirama's predicament.
"understand?"
Shinnosuke murmured to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Then who will understand Father?"
This Konoha village seems to have never truly understood the Sarutobi clan, or the pressures that their father, Hiruzen, endured.
Whether it's the grudges left over from the time of the First Hokage and Madara, or the complex conflicts between Tobirama and the Uchiha clan, or the impending doomsday crisis, all of these have been pushed onto Father alone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dedicated his life to the village's bullets, only to be met with Tobirama's cold accusations and denials in the end.
As Shinnosuke thought this, his anger was gradually replaced by a resolute determination.
"The Box of Elysium..."
He recalled the prisoners he had escorted and the various rumors he had heard about the Box of Elysium when he was transporting them to Ghost Lantern Castle.
Legend has it that the Box of Elysium was a weapon of war from the time of the Sage of Six Paths, possessing unimaginably vast chakra and immense power.
At this moment, the power of his Outer Path Dharma Image eye had decreased by 30%. If he could obtain the massive amount of chakra within the Box of Bliss...
Perhaps this would restore or even further enhance the power of the Dharma Image, thereby enabling them to fight against Uchiha Abyss and other Sharingan infected individuals.
He glanced at the night sky.
The night was deep, and the stars twinkled, foreshadowing the arrival of some kind of destiny.
A cold determination slowly flashed in Shinnosuke's eyes.
"Since Konoha is no longer the village I once loved so deeply, I can only rely on my own strength to rebuild it into the way I envision it."
Shinnosuke had made up his mind. He slowly took a step and disappeared into the darkness.
He began working on his plan.
On the other side, at the training field.
Kakashi stood quietly, sheathing his sword.
Orochimaru and Tobirama slowly emerged, watching Kakashi's astonishing fusion of swordsmanship and escaping techniques.
"The swordsmanship and chakra fusion you just used are somewhat similar to the legendary Storm Release."
Orochimaru said with interest, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Kakashi nodded in agreement: "In order to counter the Hollowfication space-time ninjutsu, I must develop a new ninjutsu."
"The Storm Release beams possess high density, high speed, and tracking characteristics, which may be able to effectively interfere with or even suppress the transfer and etherealization of space and time."
Upon hearing Kakashi's idea, Tobirama snorted and pulled out a thick, ancient scroll from his pocket, tossing it directly to Kakashi.
"Here, take this."
Kakashi gave a slight nod, took the scroll, and looked at Tobirama with a slightly puzzled expression.
Tobirama explained solemnly, "This scroll records the special life forms that have appeared in the Senju clan since the Warring States period, including the Ice Release and Storm Release that you want to develop. It contains various related secret techniques."
Orochimaru, standing nearby, couldn't help but look at Tobirama with slight surprise: "This is truly unexpected. Lord Tobirama would actually hand over such a precious scroll to Kakashi without hesitation."
"My pursuit of ninjutsu has never been limited by family affiliation."
After giving Orochimaru a wary look, Tobirama said to himself, "I was the one who suggested the founding of the Ninja Academy... Don't underestimate my magnanimity."
Orochimaru smiled slightly: "As expected of you, Lord Tobirama."
Kakashi picked up the scroll and slowly unrolled it. Inside were many powerful techniques used by members of the Senju clan throughout history who had awakened special life forms.
At this moment, Orochimaru asked, "Kakashi, when are you planning to go to Ryuchi Cave?"
"I want to go to Ryuchi-dong right now..."
There are 34 days left until the destruction of the ninja world.
The Ghost Lantern Castle exudes an indescribable sense of oppression and gloom.
The city lord, Wuwei, slowly stepped onto the city wall with his hands behind his back, his steps heavy yet steady.
His gaze, deep and unfocused, drifted into the distance, his heart heavy with complex emotions. "Lord of the City."
His subordinates behind him looked worried. One of the ninjas finally mustered his courage and spoke in a low voice...:
"Recently, there have been rumors circulating about the end of the world..."
Wuwei shook his head slightly, interrupting his subordinate's question: "Everyone fears the end of the world, but Ghost Lantern City has its own destiny and mission."
"As long as we grasp the secret to opening the Box of Elysium, even if the apocalypse truly comes, we will have the protection of Hozuki Castle."
The city lord's words were calm and firm, offering everyone a temporary sense of comfort.
They nodded in unison, a hint of confidence in their eyes, and looked back at the thick and sturdy city walls before them. For hundreds of years, Ghost Lantern City had stood in the Land of Grass, and no enemy had ever been able to successfully invade it.
The city walls are covered with countless barrier seals and mechanisms. They have withstood countless storms and have never been breached. They are the pride and reliance of the Grass Ninja.
However, at that very moment, a heavy and eerie roar suddenly echoed from the darkness in the distance.
Boom!
The voice was extremely deep, like a giant stomping the ground, carrying a chilling pressure as it gradually approached from the darkness in the distance.
What was that sound?
The grass ninjas on the city wall looked up in surprise, gripping their weapons tightly and scanning the distance with tense eyes.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The heavy thuds grew more frequent and closer, and the entire Ghost Lantern Castle seemed to tremble slightly from the vibrations.
An overwhelming sense of fear rose in everyone's hearts. They had never heard such a voice before, and they could not imagine what terrifying being could bring such immense power.
Finally, with a loud bang, the land outside the city suddenly rose violently, and four towering and terrifying giant Buddha statues slowly rose from the ground!
Each Buddha statue is tens of meters tall, its entire body is dark and cold, its face is solemn and murderous, and it stands far above the walls of Ghost Lantern City, as if it were a judge from the underworld.
Wuwei's gaze sharpened, and his expression suddenly changed drastically: "What is that?"
The four Buddha statues, each with a different form, all exude an indescribable sense of gloom and eeriness.
Most terrifyingly, a scarlet vertical eye faintly flickered in the center of their foreheads, and that eye slowly opened...
He revealed his eerie and chilling Sharingan!
"Sharingan..."
"How could that be?"
Just as everyone was in a panic, a figure in a black cloak silently appeared at the top of the highest Buddha statue.
He wore a mask from the Konoha Anbu, beneath which were revealed a pair of scarlet Sharingan with three tomoe. His gaze was extremely cold, seemingly able to pierce through the fear in people's hearts.
"Ghost Lantern City!"
Shinnosuke's voice was low and icy, completely devoid of any emotion.
"Hand over the Box of Bliss, or this city will be wiped out from the ninja world forever."
Suppressing his unease, Wuwei demanded, "Who exactly are you, daring to threaten our Ghost Lantern Castle?"
However, Shinnosuke had no intention of answering.
He gently raised his palm, then waved it indifferently.
"Disappear completely!"
In an instant, countless eerie, blood-red Buddha hands suddenly emerged from the bodies of the four enormous Buddhas.
Each Buddha's hand was terrifying, and within its palm opened countless blood-red Sharingan eyes. Those Sharingan eyes were cold and merciless, staring intently at the Grass Ninja on the city wall like judges.
"Everyone, form ranks!"
The grass ninjas formed hand seals, and various ninjutsu and weapons converged into a torrent of attacks, erupting with a roar in an attempt to stop those ferocious and terrifying Buddha hands.
However, these attacks were as fragile as children in the face of countless blood-red Buddha hands.
The Buddha's Hand passed through the explosions and flames of the ninjutsu without any hindrance, slamming against the solid city wall!
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed as the city wall collapsed instantly under the massive impact, bricks and stones shattered, dust billowed, and blood splattered, creating a scene of utter carnage.
The entire Ghost Lantern Castle was as if it were facing the end of the world.
Immediately afterwards, another shocking event struck the already devastated battlefield of Ghost Lantern Castle.
Beneath the four Buddha statues, the ground gradually rose, and withered trees slowly crawled out from the ground, extending densely like endless tentacles of hell, wildly spreading into the shattered Ghost Lantern Castle.
Every inch of the wood was stained with blood, as if it were greedily drawing blood and life from the wood.
"Wood Release?"
Wuwei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
A grass ninja tried to cut the dead trees in front of him with his kunai, but was horrified to find that the dead trees were as hard as iron. Instead of breaking, they quickly clung to his arm.
He screamed and struggled, but in an instant he was completely enveloped by the dead wood...:
The screams abruptly ceased as a withered, mangled body was pulled into the wood and instantly transformed into nutrients.
The dead tree seemed to be nourished, spreading even more wildly, devouring the fallen grass ninja corpses and remains at an alarming speed.
Once they have absorbed enough life force, the four colossal Buddha statues will once again unleash an even more astonishing power...
The already terrifying Buddha's hands became even more ferocious and thick, and the aura of each Buddha became even more eerie and terrifying.
"Everyone, listen up!"
"Attack from four directions simultaneously; we cannot allow them to continue their rampage!"
At a command, dozens of elite Grass Ninjas gritted their teeth and charged forward, their figures swiftly traversing the shattered city, forming hand seals and unleashing various powerful ninjutsu, rushing towards the four terrifying Buddha statues as if facing certain death.
However, before they could get close, the Buddha's crimson Sharingan on his forehead suddenly lit up, and the powerful pupil energy acted like an invisible cage, freezing the charging ninjas in place.
Fear and despair appeared on the faces of the grass ninjas. Their struggling movements froze in mid-air, as if they had been deprived of all ability to move. They could only watch in horror as the huge blood-red Buddha hand hanging high above mercilessly fell.
"don't want!!"
The blood-red Buddha's hand slammed down, the ground suddenly shattered, and in fear and despair, it turned into a blood mist, a horrific sight too terrible to bear.
Shinnosuke, who coldly looked down at everything from above, remained completely unmoved.
With the complete collapse of the city walls, several prisons within the city that held serious criminals from the Land of Grass were also completely destroyed.
A large number of prisoners, dressed in their finest clothes and filled with madness and excitement, seized the opportunity to swarm out, eager to escape the prison that had held them captive for decades.
Before they could even take a few steps, they were completely entangled and devoured by the eerie, withered tree that had been waiting for them. Their screams echoed between heaven and earth, and in the end, they all became nutrients for the growth of the Buddha statue.
"I don't want to die...:"
"Help me! Help me!"
The prisoners' cries of anguish rose and fell, but they were destined to be nothing more than nourishment in this blood sacrifice.
On the ruins of the completely destroyed Hozuki Castle, corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood flowed out like a babbling brook, seeping into the cracked soil.
The entire city was shrouded in an atmosphere of stench and terror, utterly transformed into an unspeakable hell.
Shinnosuke looked down at the horrific tragedy unfolding beneath his feet.
The feelings that have been suppressed for so long have finally been released...
At some point, a strange smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.
At first, it was just a faint smile, as if it came from a slight sense of satisfaction.
But soon, the smile became more and more obvious and distorted.
"Heh...hehe..."
A soft laugh emanated from beneath the mask, tinged with a hint of madness.
"Hehehehe."
Gradually, the laughter became clearer and more unrestrained, eventually transforming from a faint chuckle into a maniacal and ear-piercing laugh.
His shoulders trembled slightly, uncontrollably.
He slowly raised his arms, as if embracing this hellish land covered in sores!
Hysterical laughter kept gushing out from deep in his throat.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
The laughter, filled with an indescribable madness and distortion, echoed endlessly above the ruins of Ghost Lantern Castle.
strength.
Is this what great power is?
The few survivors remaining in the city were terrified upon hearing the laughter. They desperately covered their heads and tried their best to hide, fearing that the terrifying being would notice them.
