Chapter 583: The Ultimate Hokage!
Chapter 583: The Ultimate Hokage!
Huff!
The gentle breeze swept through the arena, carrying leaves and capturing everyone's attention.
Here he comes!
The two most powerful Hokages of Konoha, the ultimate show-offs, appeared together.
Leaves swirled in the air, and two figures stood back-to-back on the field.
Ordinary spectators couldn't see how they appeared, making their entrance incredibly mysterious, especially with the swirling leaves and gentle breeze.
Show-off like the wind, always in my presence!
That's the only way to describe it.
The taller one was naturally Kakashi, and the shorter one was none other than Sasuke, the new master of showmanship.
Even Tang Ping couldn't help but admire this grand entrance.
Some people are just born with a knack for showmanship.
"Can Sasuke win against that monster?"
Uchiha Yae looked over.
She knew that Tang Ping was extremely interested in Sasuke, otherwise, he wouldn't have given him the nickname 'Two Poles'. At the same time, the other party was also the 'disciple' of Hyuga Tsukimi, although he was always left to his own devices.
"I don't know!"
Tang Ping shook his head, earning astonished looks.
For them, Tang Ping was almost omniscient, and in a situation where they could easily judge the outcome with a little effort, saying 'I don't know' was indeed surprising.
"Even if they want to determine a winner, they need the opportunity to do so!"
Tang Ping's gaze shifted upwards to the Hokage and Kazekage sitting on the palace-like viewing platform above.
Even if they wanted to finish the fight, they would need Orochimaru's approval from up there.
"So that's how it is..."
Uchiha Yae instantly understood.
She naturally knew that Orochimaru had dealt with the Kazekage, as she had been keeping an eye on him, and was aware that the Kazekage had now been replaced by a 'snake'.
If the other party were to cause trouble, the Chuunin Exams would not be able to continue.
"What about us?"
Hyuga Tsukimi wanted to know their plan of action.
"We've already done what we needed to do. For now, let's just watch the show and not disturb the peace. If we get the chance, it wouldn't be bad to save the Third Hokage too!"
Tang Ping's lips curled into a slight smile.
Their plan in Konoha had been in the works for so long that it was naturally already completed.
So, all they needed to do was watch the show.
They didn't want to let Sarutobi Hiruzen sacrifice himself as a hero; dying here would be too easy for him.
Even if they wanted him dead, they would let him face judgment first.
And the Forest of Death!
That was their primary target.
Konoha had plenty of opportunities to deal with it, or they could slowly weaken and drain it.
If they really wanted to destroy it, it wasn't impossible for the Six Paths to directly intervene.
Just like when Nagato came to Konoha to collect rice, the final result was using his life to perform the Six Paths: Samsara of Heavenly Life, though it was said to be Naruto's talk no jutsu, who knows if the Six Paths secretly influenced it.
Tang Ping was indeed a coward.
Before reaching the level of the Six Paths, he wouldn't destroy Konoha, at the very least, he wouldn't take the lead. If someone could do it, he could cheer them on, but if he had to do it himself, he was truly afraid of the Six Paths.
Last time, he had unfairly 'shadowed' him.
Although it gave him the Immortal Body, it also delayed him for several years, and without taking advantage of the situation, otherwise, the Tenkudo's territory wouldn't be the same as when he was dormant.
This time, if he dares to come out and destroy Konoha, the Six Paths might very well intervene.
So, this time, they really needed to be more restrained.
However, if the Sand Village causes trouble, then it's none of his business, right?
Tang Ping didn't believe that Konoha would be able to get through this unscathed.
While these thoughts were running through his mind, the Two Poles below had already unleashed his power.
Cree!
The sound of the Thunderbird echoed.
A blue lightning ball appeared in Sasuke's palm.
"Is that the Thunderbird?"
Surprise laced Yae's voice.
Because she had researched this technique extensively, even deriving new jutsu from it, she was surprised.
The time was too short!
Before the Forest of Death, Sasuke definitely wouldn't have been able to do this.
In other words, he learned this during Kakashi's special training.
It didn't sound like much, just learning an A-rank jutsu in less than a month.
But you have to know he's only 12 years old!
And before this, the technique he was most proficient in was the C-rank Great Fireball Jutsu.
Now, in just a month, he had learned an A-rank forbidden jutsu, which was truly astonishing.
You have to know that even Jonin might spend several years or even longer without being able to master an A-rank jutsu, and it's not uncommon.
Even among Jonin, not many possess A-rank ninjutsu, not only due to the lack of opportunities but also because of the difficulty in learning them.
Yet, Sasuke, a mere 12-year-old Genin, has achieved this feat, proving his exceptional genius.
"No wonder he's from the prestigious Uchiha clan!"
"Is that Kakashi's famous Chidori technique?"
"Indeed, it's an A-rank jutsu!"
Various discussions erupted from the spectator stands.
Clearly, Sasuke's talent left them both astonished and unsurprised.
The astonishment stemmed from the rarity of a 12-year-old mastering an A-rank forbidden technique.
The sense of it being unsurprising came from his Uchiha lineage, where such feats were not uncommon.
As for the Uchiha of Tenkudo?
Sorry, under the ninja world's tacit agreement to keep certain names under wraps, few are aware of the Uchiha branch there.
Information theft and suppression are the ninja world's forte; achieving this is no easy feat.
Sasuke's opponent, Gaara, was entirely enveloped by thick sand spheres, creating a dead-angle defense.
With one attacking and the other defending, the final showdown commenced.
"Kougane, what if I told you Gaara has the Uzumaki bloodline?"
Tang Ping addressed Kougane by his side.
At that moment, his position was surrounded by Yae, Tsukimi, and Izumi, with Minoko and Kougane beside him, and Tenkudo ninjas and shrine maidens around them, allowing for a safe exchange.
"Uzumaki bloodline?"
Kougane's pupils constricted, genuinely surprised.
Tenkudo had already brought back all the Uzumaki they could find, unaware of any stragglers.
"That's right, if my guess is correct, his mother should have Uzumaki blood!"
Tang Ping's guess was based on the original storyline he had read before his transmigration.
First, the red hair! Red hair is a distinct feature of the Uzumaki clan.
While not exclusive to them, the odds of a non-Uzumaki having red hair are virtually non-existent.
Then, Gaara was born as a Jinchuriki.
Without a special physique, even adult ninjas couldn't become Jinchuriki, let alone a child.
Lastly, the sealing technique.
Although Gaara isn't adept at this, it's mainly due to a lack of learning opportunities. His mother's exceptional sealing skills, coupled with her ability to turn into sand to protect him, were telling signs.
Once could be a coincidence, but not repeatedly.
As for Temari and Kankuro, they didn't inherit their mother's bloodline, just as Naruto didn't inherit red hair.
"But he might not acknowledge that identity!"
Kougane shook her head.
The Uzumaki clan doesn't force those with their bloodline to return; they don't impose their will on others.
"Makes sense."
Tang Ping glanced at the sand sphere below, now pierced by Chidori, and nodded slightly.
Within the sand sphere, a beastly aura emerged.
Evidently, Gaara, in a fit of emotional turmoil, had begun his Tailed Beast transformation.
Whoosh! A monstrous, elongated yellow claw emerged from the Chidori-torn gap, pushing back the Two Poles.
"The show's about to begin!"
Tang Ping's gaze shifted from the arena to the spectators.
Among them, a familiar figure appeared—Tobi.
He began casting his jutsu.
"Nirvana Shelter Jutsu!"
Feathers gently descended.
The jutsu's effect wasn't impressive; even ninjas with strong resistance to genjutsu could withstand it.
The issue was that for ordinary people, it was nearly impenetrable.
Moreover, its coverage area was terrifyingly vast.
The entire arena was enveloped.
Bang, bang, bang! Villagers, tourists, and tycoons watching the match collapsed.
In the original story, these people were unharmed after the Konoha Crush.
Incredible, right?
Hence, Tang Ping was certain that Orochimaru's Konoha Crush was a setup to 'honorably' assist his teacher.
However, with Tenkudo's vigilance, if Orochimaru didn't want to be honorable, they'd gladly do it for him.
Want Konoha to crumble?
Sure, they love helping, so they'll gladly assist Orochimaru.
After all, someone else will take the fall, and the blame won't reach them.
"Careful!"
"It's genjutsu!"
"Protect the spectators!"
Various voices echoed.
Meanwhile, on the main spectator platform, an unexpected event unfolded.
