Chapter 271: Kakashi Hatake's Curiosity [27]
Chapter 271: Kakashi Hatake's Curiosity [27]
"Fengye?!"
Kakashi Hatake heard Fengye's words and looked at the figure before him in shock, especially when he saw the Fire Shadow Divine Robe that Fengye was wearing, with the words 'Fifth Fire Shadow' on it. A myriad of emotions surged within him—astonishment, joy, and delight.
"Fengye, you... are already the Hokage?!"
Hatake, overwhelmed with joy and astonishment, had just asked a question when his body moved on its own again. In an instant, he appeared in front of Fengye, and the short sword in his hand slashed down towards Fengye.
The short sword, which had been snapped in half by Fengye's previous snap of his fingers, now had one half remaining. Under Kakashi's chakra control, it still condensed a blade-like substance.
"Watch out!"
Kakashi's pupils constricted as he loudly warned without hesitation.
This was a purer form of the Hatake Sword Technique than the previous attack and was almost comparable to a strike from his peak period. Aside from sidestepping, even retreating wouldn't avoid it!
Just as the blade was about to land on Fengye's head, Fengye exhaled lightly and made no attempt to dodge or block. He simply raised his left hand and formed a single hand seal.
Buzz!
Kakashi's movement froze in place. The blade was a foot away from Fengye's head but couldn't descend any further.
Kakashi paused, then looked down at his body and saw countless black technique formulas floating around him, immobilizing him completely.
"This is..."
"...a body-freezing technique that was released with just a moment of contact earlier?"
Realizing what had happened, Kakashi relaxed a little. Looking at Fengye, his eyes filled with relief, and he asked, "You've grown, Fengye. How's Kakashi?"
"He's fine."
Fengye looked at Kakashi and lowered his hand, saying softly, "Do you want to go back sooner, or do you want to stay here and look around some more?"
"Well..."
Kakashi's thoughts were interrupted as a large group of figures rushed out of Konoha, led by a person he was very familiar with—Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas.
Tsunade first looked towards the distance, where the Nine-Tails was going berserk and wreaking havoc. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she noticed Kakashi and Fengye not far away.
"Senior Shuomao?"
She asked in surprise.
Kakashi also turned his eyes to Tsunade, a hint of nostalgia in his voice as he said, "It's Tsunade... Looks like a lot of time has passed since my death."
Tsunade looked at Kakashi in astonishment for a few seconds before reacting and asking, "Is this the Impure World Reincarnation Technique?!"
"Yes..."
Kakashi replied and was about to say something when—
Buzz!!
A terrifying chakra erupted from a distance, attracting everyone's attention.
A giant wooden man, comparable in size to the Nine-Tails, suddenly rose from the ground. The wooden man had a wooden dragon wrapped around him, binding the body of the Nine-Tails. At the same time, his two huge hands lifted to block the Nine-Tails' claws.
Rumble!!!
Just a simple collision caused the whole earth to vibrate and rumble. The aftermath turned into a howling gale, making it difficult for some of the nearby Konoha ninjas to steady themselves.
Tsunade's face changed slightly as she watched this scene, and she said, "This is a Wood Style Ninjutsu..."
Thinking of Kakashi being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, a shocking thought immediately came to her mind, and she looked in the direction of the wooden man.
Looking into the distance, they could vaguely see a familiar figure on top of the wooden man's head—it was her grandfather, the First Hokage of Konoha—
Senju Hashirama!
Kakashi, who had been immersed in nostalgia upon seeing a familiar face, now had his nostalgic mood swept away, replaced by an extremely tense look. He couldn't care less about learning more about Konoha's current situation and said, "The First Hokage has also been controlled by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. Evacuate the women and children from the village immediately!!"
"You need to prepare the sealing technique right away. Both the First Hokage and the Nine-Tails need to be controlled with a sealing technique!
Although the Nine-Tails seemed to be going berserk and blocking Senju Hashirama, Kakashi was well aware that even the aftermath of a battle between the Nine-Tails and Senju Hashirama would be enough to destroy Konoha in an instant.
When Kakashi Hatake spoke, the Konoha ninjas present didn't show much reaction; only a few of them glanced at each other.
Seeing this, Kakashi was taken aback.
Fengye looked at Kakashi and smiled faintly. "Don't worry, Father. Just stay here and watch; there won't be any danger."
"No!"
Seeing the indifference of the nearby ninjas, Kakashi immediately lowered his voice. "The strength of the First Hokage is far greater than you imagine, and it's unrealistic to rely on the rampaging Nine-Tails to hold him off!"
He hadn't witnessed Senju Hashirama's strength in his lifetime, but on his journey with Hashirama, he had sensed the almost terrifying chakra emanating from him.
That was definitely not something an ordinary ninja could withstand! Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, at his peak, would fall far short!
After glancing at each other, the nearby ninjas still didn't react much. Tsunade, however, took a breath and, having recovered from the news of the First Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation, turned to Kakashi and said, "Senior Kakashi... Fengye is the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails is currently being controlled by Fengye."
Kakashi was stunned.
Fengye was... the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails?!
He turned to look at Fengye, who was now facing the battlefield where the Nine-Tails and Hashirama were fighting. There was no sign of tension on his profile; only composure and calmness remained, the Fifth Hokage's divine robe gently fluttering in the wind.
This scene made Kakashi realize that Fengye was no longer the child he once knew. In the years since his death, Fengye must have experienced countless wars and ultimately ascended to the position of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. The current Fengye had surpassed him!
"I suppose..."
"...a dead man like me is overly concerned about other matters."
Since Fengye, as the current Hokage of Konoha, could remain calm in such a situation, Kakashi, as a deceased person, decided to leave the matter in the hands of the living.
Perhaps Konoha had already prepared countermeasures, and the women and children might have already been evacuated.
Kakashi shook his head inwardly, finding it amusing.
Then, his curiosity got the better of him, and he turned to Fengye, wanting to know how Fengye had become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, what had happened in the years since his death, and how Konoha was faring now.
Kakashi looked at Tsunade and asked, "How many years has it been since my death?"
Tsunade replied, "Thirteen years."
Kakashi was slightly surprised. He had thought that at least twenty years had passed, but it had only been thirteen. That meant Fengye was at most nineteen years old?!
"Only thirteen years?"
"I never expected Fengye to become a Hokage at such a young age... What happened after my death?"
Kakashi looked at Tsunade, his curiosity getting the better of him, and continued to ask.
Given Fengye's age, he shouldn't have become a Hokage at this time. Instead, it should have been Orochimaru, Jiraiya, or Tsunade who took on the role.
While it made sense that Fengye was the Fifth Hokage, with there being a Fourth Hokage before him that Kakashi didn't know about, he was still curious about who that Fourth Hokage was and how Fengye had become the Hokage.
