Chapter 53 "Contact those two people as soon as possible."
---
A large piece of land was completely allocated to the Country of Fire. It also signed several provisions that would benefit the Country of Fire. Additionally, the Raikage personally apologized to both the Hyuga and Hokage.
More importantly...
After this battle, the Kingdom of Thunder suffered heavy losses, and it is clear that they will need a long time to recover. Since then, they have lost the qualification to compete for dominance with the Country of Fire.And the Country of Fire, after this battle, has completely solidified its image of invincibility. The other four nations no longer harbor any thoughts of competing with them.
As for the Fourth Hokage, Kirito...
Because of his brutal attack on the Fourth Raikage, and his actions in directly leading the army to strike the enemy's base camp, his popularity and prestige have skyrocketed, unmatched by anyone.Uchiha Kirito has become synonymous with invincibility.
Throughout the entire Country of Fire and Konoha Village, Kirito has received unparalleled support and fanatical worship!However, at this moment, what is more important to Kirito is...
The Sign-In System.
[Ding ....Dong....]
"Congratulations, Host has signed in at the Thunder Country, Cloud Shinobi Village! You've received great rewards"
Kirito was overjoyed as he looked over. This time, the reward was...
Once again, incredibly rich.
First, the Thunder Fruit, which has finally developed to 100%. It also unlocked its ultimate ability... Ten Thousand Thunder.This terrifying large-scale move is enough to destroy an entire island! Originally, it had to be cast with the aid of the Ark's Proverbs, but now Kirito can unleash it on his own.
The three abilities of the Thunder Fruit are now complete:
- Two hundred million volts, Thor.
- Huge black ball lightning.
- Countless violent thunder strikes bombarding the earth, Ten Thousand Thunder .Kirito has mastered them all
Additionally, his First Hokage Sage Body template has improved by 20%. It has now reached 50% completion—a terrifying level.This is equivalent to having half of Senju Hashirama's Chakra.Though it's only half, anyone who knows how terrifying the God of Shinobi's Chakra is understands that this is enough to sweep through the entire ninja world.
As for his Mangekyō Sharingan.It has evolved to 40 % The left eye's ability has doubled, and the right eye's ability, now allows four teleports.Moreover, the development of the Eight Inner Gates Formation has increased to 80%.Kirito is only a step away from unlocking the Eighth Gate's final stage: the Gate of Death.
Of course, even if he could open it, Kirito would not do so lightly.
The most important aspect is this: once his Mangekyō Sharingan evolves to 50%, he will unlock the true SusanooThis is the most terrifying power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.Kirito knew that with one more sign-in, he would be able to unlock Susanoo. He eagerly anticipated what kind of immense power his Susanoo would hold.
All in all, Kirito's strength has skyrocketed with his mastery of the Thunder Fruit, Sage Body Chakra, Sharingan, and Eight Inner Gates.
...
Afterward, Kirito led the army back to Konoha Village. He was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from all the ninjas and civilians. Kirito's reputation and prestige had reached an all-time high.Meanwhile, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was grim.
"It seems that the plan has to be changed..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a somber smirk.
"Have we contacted Jiraiya recently?" he asked.
An Anbu agent frowned. "Not yet"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. "Jiraiya... even if we find him, he might not side with me. Though he's my disciple, he's sometimes too kind and weak—not someone capable of doing great things."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.The three disciples he personally taught—Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru—were all prodigies, dragons among men. However Orochimaru defected, Tsunade suffered from blood phobia due to the loss of her loved ones, and now wanders the world, while Jiraiya has been traveling, claiming to search for the "Child of Prophecy."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered and continued, "If even one of them had been loyal to me, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"
He smirked and asked, "What about Orochimaru?"
Anbu hesitated.
"Hokage-sama, do you really intend to contact Orochimaru? He's a traitor to Konoha Village."
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer Hokage, his close confidants still called him "Hokage-sama," and he accepted it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen replied, "In extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary means.What we lack the most right now is combat power, and Orochimaru.. if necessary, we can work with him."
"But will he cooperate with us?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered, "What Orochimaru craves, more than anything, are the First Hokage's Wood Style cells and the Sharingan. If I tell him we can work together to wipe out the Uchiha clan and allow him to study the Sharingan freely, do you think he'll cooperate?"
Anbu felt a chill but quickly nodded. "Yes."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke coldly, "Contact those two people as soon as possible."
"Yes."
That all for today.OM ..Namh! Shivye.
