Chapter 203: Return 【47】

Valley of the End.

Feng Ye stood atop the massive statue of Senju Hashirama.

On the opposite side, the towering statue of Uchiha Madara was devoid of Uchiha Obito's presence, and the surrounding area lay in ruins with no sign of him.

"Kamui in conjunction with Reverse Summoning... That's quite a hassle."

Feng Ye shook his head.

Reverse Summoning wasn't exactly an ideal escape tactic. It was pointless to use over short distances, and over long distances, the lack of communication made timing its use a challenge.

However, with the White Zetsu here, Obito could relay information over vast distances, and Kamui's intangibility—a nearly absolute defensive ability—could buy him enough time to wait for the Reverse Summoning.

In terms of raw power, Obito was still far from the level of the Six Paths.

But when it came to survival skills, even Kaguya Otsutsuki herself would struggle to finish him off quickly. With the addition of Reverse Summoning, there were very few abilities that could stop him.

Feng Ye was in a similar situation; even if he faced Kaguya now, she wouldn't be able to do much to him in a short time. The only ability he truly feared was Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"His survival skills are indeed formidable. To counter them, one would need the power to stop time, an attack as powerful as Night Guy that can distort space, or a ninjutsu that can interfere with space." Feng Ye mused to himself.

In fact, soul-based secret techniques and high-level illusions should also be effective, but he wasn't skilled in illusions, and his opponent was from the Uchiha clan, so that type of technique was basically useless. Unless he obtained Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, he might have some chance.

After a moment's thought, Feng Ye's figure flickered, and he began making his way back toward Konoha.

The Nine-Tails was currently within him, and the Three-Tails was with Rin. If Black Zetsu wanted to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki, it would have to find a way to defeat him first; otherwise, it was all just talk.

As time passed, his strength would only grow more formidable. Further development of his time abilities or advancement in the Eight Inner Gates would undoubtedly enhance his power.

At this point, the ninja world was essentially under his control.

Feng Ye soon arrived back at Konoha, where the ninja were busy clearing the battlefield, treating the wounded, and assessing the damage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya, both severely injured, had been taken to the hospital, and the current captain of the Konoha Anbu was overseeing the situation on the ground.

"Lord Feng Ye!"

The nearby Konoha ninja paused in their tasks as they noticed Feng Ye's return.

At that moment, most of them, even the Anbu members, couldn't help but display reverence toward Feng Ye. Everyone knew that after today's battle, the dynamics of Konoha would be irrevocably altered.

The power Feng Ye had displayed far surpassed that of the Third Hokage and Jiraiya; it was akin to the might of a 'God of the Ninja World'.

One could say that,

Even if Feng Ye made no further moves, the heads of the major clans and the captains of the influential departments in Konoha would likely pay him a visit one by one.

Even though Feng Ye was still officially just an elite jonin in name and held no real authority, in the eyes of many ninja, he was already indistinguishable from the Hokage, especially after Minato Namikaze's sacrifice to seal the Nine-Tails.

Feng Ye was the new Hokage!

Aside from a small number of ninja absolutely loyal to Hiruzen, most had come to this consensus. The reason was simple: only Feng Ye could truly protect Konoha! In the face of the previous crisis, if Feng Ye hadn't been in Konoha, the village might have been destroyed. Only a ninja capable of safeguarding Konoha was qualified to be its leader!

As for age and experience,

These considerations paled in comparison to the survival of Konoha.

Feng Ye replied calmly, "He got away."

"..."

This statement made the nearby ninjas catch their breath.

As expected, Feng Ye had won! The enemy had been defeated and fled.

However, the fact that such a terrifying foe was still alive was like a hanging sword over their heads, making it difficult to rest easy. They feared that it could strike at any moment.

But along with their fear, there was also a sense of relief. Feng Ye's ability to crush their opponent brought reassurance; with him in the village, there was no need to worry about its destruction.

This also strengthened the resolve of those who hoped for Feng Ye to become the Hokage.

"Lord Feng Ye, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya are both severely wounded and are currently being treated by the medical unit..."

Someone briefed Feng Ye on Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya's conditions, their gaze inquiring.

In fact, Feng Ye's position did not encompass these responsibilities, and even the Anbu captain and heads of various departments present outranked him. Yet, at this moment, everyone's attitude was similar, positioning themselves as subordinates.

Feng Ye started walking towards the village, saying, "Treat all the injured, assess the losses, and strengthen our defenses and vigilance. Other villages may make their moves."

As his words landed, Feng Ye vanished from the spot.

In truth, Feng Ye's instructions didn't differ much from Hiruzen Sarutobi's final orders. But seeking Feng Ye's approval and receiving directives from him carried a different weight.

Staring at the spot where Feng Ye had disappeared, the nearby Konoha ninjas exchanged glances, each noticing the strangeness in the others' eyes. They all understood that after today's events, Hiruzen Sarutobi's faction would likely never be able to oppose Feng Ye again.

...

In a bedroom somewhere.

Feng Ye pushed open the door and entered.

This wasn't his bedroom but Minato Namikaze's home. Inside, a frail Kushina Uzumaki lay in a baby crib next to an infant.

"Minato?"

Kushina spoke weakly.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, losing the Nine-Tails didn't result in immediate death. She could still cling to life for a while, but it was only a matter of time.

Regular Jinchuriki who lost their tailed beasts would explode like fragile balloons, but Uzumaki clan members were like deflating soccer balls, slowly losing their lives.

"It's me," Feng Ye replied as he walked to the bedside, his gaze falling on the baby. "Have you chosen a name?"

Hearing a voice that wasn't Minato's, Kushina's eyes widened in realization, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Is it... Feng Ye?"

She looked down at the baby in her arms and forced a smile. "His name is Naruto—Namikaze Naruto."

My throat is a bit uncomfortable, so it took a while to write this chapter. Sorry, it looks like I'll have to take it slow from now on.
