Chapter 161 : Unconscious!

"Boom boom boom boom!!!!!"

At the moment of impact, in the eyes of the elders, everything seemed to freeze.

Their pupils could even mirror the movements of two colossal energy entities.

But in an instant, a thunderous roar finally erupted.

"Boom boom boom!!!!"

"Whoohoo whoa whoa!!!!!!!"

It was as if the sky and land clashed, stirring up countless cyclones and hurricanes. Everything around them turned into mere debris before their might.

The once sturdy earth was peeled away layer by layer, and the colossal trees deeply rooted in the ground were sent flying and shattered, scattered in all directions.

Amidst the deafening smoke, dust, and the wreckage of trees, two figures still stood at the very epicenter.

However, soon, one of the figures began to waver and eventually dissipated.

Ryūshō gazed at the Hollow Susanoo before him, finally collapsing to the ground. His weary eyes gazed dazedly at the God of Light, radiating infinite light and heat in front of him.

Before closing his eyes for the last time, a multitude of thoughts flooded his mind.

"The formidable Kazuhiko! The awe-inspiring God of Light!"

"Only a powerful individual like this is worthy of forming an alliance with the Uchiha clan!"

"Whether it's Senju Hashirama or Uzumaki Kazuhiko! Only the strong can ally with the Uchiha!"

"For so many years, this is the first time in such an intense battle. My strength is much greater than I had imagined..."

Finally, fatigued eyes and depleted chakra led him to close his eyes.

All distractions dissipated...

Kazuhiko observed Ryūshō on the ground, and the giant warrior, God of Light, on his body transformed into specks of light in the sky, resembling numerous golden fireflies.

In the end, it dissipated gradually into the air.

Kazuhiko casually sheathed his knife.

Looking at the fallen Ryūshō, one could tell without looking that the current Ryūshō had simply exhausted himself and fallen asleep.

At this moment, the Uchiha elders on the side rushed forward.

"Clan Head!"

"Ryūshō-sama!"

Observing the approaching group, Kazuhiko assured them, "Don't worry; your Clan Head's life is not in danger.

"Come and assist your Clan Head!"

Finally reaching Kazuhiko, a few people took charge of their Clan Head from him.

Upon checking, they realized he was just asleep, prompting them to release a long sigh of relief.

The fifth elder quickly handed a robe to Kazuhiko on the side.

"Thanks," Kazuhiko expressed, accepting the robe and slipping it on.

The fifth elder nodded silently and made no further remarks. He then pivoted and initiated Healing Jutsu treatment for his fellow elders, showcasing his skills as a medical practitioner.

Onlookers gazed at Clan Head Uzumaki with a mixture of emotions.

It was only now that they comprehended why the Uzumaki Clan Head had the audacity to proclaim himself as the new god of the ninja world. 

Observing Ryūshō falling unconscious, traces of blood lingering at the corners of his eyes, they understood that mercy had no place in his actions.

Facing such an offensive, they considered it implausible to defeat their Clan Head swiftly. A young man stood before them, embodying the strength that left them feeling like witnesses to history.

The title of the new God of the Ninja World wasn't an exaggeration; even in their hearts, Senju Hashirama hadn't possessed such strength at such a young age.

The first and second elders, having witnessed the battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, found this moment particularly poignant. Watching Kazuhiko spar with the clan leader, it felt as though they had been transported back to the Warring State era, witnessing the clash of Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage.

Years later, a similar battle unfolded before their eyes, but this time, victory belonged to the head of the Uzumaki clan, with the Uchiha suffering defeat.

They pondered in their hearts, "Is the Uchiha clan destined to always play a supporting role? Regardless of their power, there will always be more formidable geniuses to overshadow them. First, it was Senju Hashirama, the god of the ninja world; now, it's the new god, Kazuhiko."

Unbeknownst to them, in the future, Naruto would still be a force to reckon with, suppressing their Uchiha clan's second pillar.

The two elders sighed, setting aside the complexities in their eyes. Regardless, Kazuhiko would be their future ally, and having such a powerful ally brought them satisfaction and joy.

Soon, they retraced their steps with their Clan Head. This time, the group was less agitated, preparing to return.

The second elder carried Ryūshō on his back.

Finally, other Uchiha members discovered their location. Kurogane and Uchiha Fugaku hurried over, their expressions marked by surprise.

"Is it over?" they asked Kazuhiko with disbelief.

Uchiha Fugaku immediately noted his father being carried, realizing that Kazuhiko had emerged victorious.

"Father!" Uchiha Fugaku rushed forward to confirm that his father had merely passed out from exhaustion.

Turning to Kazuhiko, he muttered, "He actually won..."

On the sidelines, Kurogane, grateful that preparations had been made, remained unaware of the ace his clan leader still held in reserve.

He always had an enigmatic confidence in Kazuhiko, perhaps because he had been pushed hard by Kazuhiko in the past.

He consistently believed that no one could stand against Kazuhiko. So, when he glanced at the drowsy Clan Head, his initial reaction was, "See, I told you the Uzumaki Clan Head would definitely win..."

Rather than feeling sorrow, he felt a sense of pride in saying, "I foresaw it all."

Both of them turned to look behind, only to find a section of land severed before them.

A massive crater lay exposed in front of them, with no place for the shattered trees and leaves to settle on the ground.

The ground cracking had become commonplace, and colossal trees occasionally shattered as if struck by a direct hurricane.

If the deep hole in the old quarry could be likened to a puddle, then the vast crater in front could unquestionably be considered a lake.

They gazed in astonishment at the scene before them, struggling to fathom what kind of battle could cause such devastation.

Just as the two were taken aback, other Uchiha clan members began arriving one after another.

However, by this time, Kazuhiko and several elders had already departed.

Having noticed the continuous influx of people, they had deliberately avoided them.

The Uchiha individuals who arrived stood dumbfounded in front of the deep crater, resembling a landscape after a natural disaster.

Everyone stood frozen, trying to comprehend the remnants of the previous battle.

Yet, everything before them surpassed their understanding.

They couldn't fathom what kind of battle could leave such marks.

In their minds, it was inconceivable that this was merely the aftermath of a clash between two individuals.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "So who won...?"

Kurogane, standing nearby, casually replied, "Clan Head Uzumaki emerged victorious."

Upon hearing this, everyone snapped back to reality.

"Bravo!"

"We didn't expect the Uzumaki clan head to come out on top."

"The Clan Head's strength is truly astonishing. Who would have thought the Uzumaki Clan Head could still win..."

"The remnants of this battle are truly fearsome!"

"This is a true powerhouse! Fortunately, our Clan Head is a powerhouse capable of facing him..."

"Yeah, we never knew the Clan Head was so formidable before."

"Yes, the Clan Head was already powerful, but the opponent was too strong. Losing to such a foe is not shameful."

"That's right, losing to the man hailed as the new God of the Ninja World is not a disgrace!"

For a while, everyone began a fresh round of discussions, and the regret of missing the final showdown was pushed aside.

At this moment, Kazuhiko looked at several Uchiha elders beside him.

"Everyone, I hope the alliance can be confirmed as soon as possible. I believe my strength can still meet your satisfaction. Any objections?"

The elders nodded in agreement. With such strength, they were content. There was certainly no issue.
