Chapter 142

"That's it..."

Yeruashi shook his head as he watched the last of Kakuzu's life force leave his body, and then looked at his damaged clothes, which barely covered important areas.

He squatted down and searched Kakuzu's body, finding a rather large wad of banknotes.

Pooh!

Erase Storm closed the Gate and went to the counter ramanau, not included in the attack range of Kakuzu.

"I apologize for the inconvenience."

Transferring funds received from the corpse of Erase smiled at the shop owner: "This is compensation."

Phew!

After these words, his figure disappeared.

The owner of the ramen continued to stare at the place where Yeruashi had just been standing, and only after a while did he start to come to his senses

Realizing that he was involved in a collision between two shinobi, the owner swallowed nervously and muttered, " It turns out that this young man was a shinobi..."

...

After leaving the city of Erase went to the Fire nation.

Passing through a small town, he came across Shinobi Root, who immediately reported where the Konoha front camp is now located.

In a couple of days.

Erase returned to the camp Konoha.

It was immediately obvious that the camp was much smaller than a few months ago, you can hardly meet a young Genin, there were no more than three thousand shinobi in the camp.

The rest were not on the battlefield, but returned to Konoha, by now the war has absorbed a huge amount of resources of the Great Villages, so that the world of Shinobi entered a period of calm and recovery.

"You finally came back, Erase."

Seeing Erase, Orochimaru smiled and said: "When the news of Hanzo's death was received, I was shocked, unexpectedly, you have become so strong..."

Erase grinned: "Ah, this is due to the fact that I spend much more training time than others."

Sannin understandingly and looked at Erase, he might have noticed that the physical development of a student greatly exceeds the actual age, he looks about sixteen years old.

Orochimaru suggested that Yeruashi changed the growth rate of his body with the help of an Improved Genome, this may indeed allow for a rapid increase in strength, but at the same time accelerates aging and shortens life expectancy.

"By the way, the bounty on your head has soared to thirty-two million, so you should be careful, disciple. Maybe you've already had your eye on a very problematic person, ke-ke-ke."

Orochimaru grinned and said in a mysterious voice: "There are rumors in the shadow world...that among the shinobi hunting for high rewards, there is a person who survived a collision with the First Hokage..."

"Eh..."

Erase sighed: "I've already run into him."

Orochimaru was surprised: "Since you're all right, did you kill him?"

"Yes."

Erase nodded, and sat down at the table and poured tea.

Orochimaru was unable to hide his shock: "Hanzo the Salamander and even the shinobi who survived the encounter with Hashirama...Erase, have you already reached the level of the First Hokage?"

At the age of eleven...no, at the age of sixteen to reach the level of the First Hokage, this assumption may seem absolutely incredible, but still, Yeruashi is the owner of an incredibly powerful Improved Time Genome!

Yeruashi shook his head, " No, I'm still a long way from the First Hokage. This man could calm the entire shinobi world at the expense of personal power alone."

Now he is really far from Hashirama.

Not even compared to the Madara of those times.

Now using his strongest attack, Sky Flash, he can hardly cut off the top of the mountain peak, any blow of Uchiha Madara in the form of a Completed Susanoo has such power.

His strongest attack is equal to Madara's usual attack with the Eternal Mangekyu, which shows how big the gap between them is.

Facing either Madara or Hashirama now, he can at best rely on speed to save his life, and if he enters a battle, he may not lose his life, but the probability of being sealed is very high.

Thinking about it, Erase turned to Orochimaru: "By the way, Teacher Orochimaru, I heard that in the Ryuchi Cave, you can learn a special technique that is one step higher than ordinary jutsu..."

"Sage Mode..."

Orochimaru tilted his head and said thoughtfully: "Are you interested in Sage Mode? To begin his practice, you need to get to the Ryuchi Cave and get the approval of the White Snake Sage. I can tell you how to get to Ryuchi Cave, but as for approval...you'll have to deal with this on your own."

"Just tell me where Ryuchi Cave is, Master."

Erase nodded.

Bue!

Orochimaru thought, spit out a scroll and gave it to Erase: "The scroll indicates the location of the Ryuchi Cave, as well as describes the specifics of getting there."

"Thank you, Teacher Orochimaru."

Crack!

As soon as Yeruashi took the scroll, arcs of lightning flashed and destroyed the saliva, then he turned to Orochimaru: "The situation in the shinobi world has become more calm, isn't now the time to elect the Fourth Hokage?"

"The teacher's attitude is getting worse..."

Orochimaru grinned: "He seems to be leaning more and more towards Minato's candidacy, but Danzo is now on my side...and given your support, Hiruzen's choice won't necessarily be decisive."

"Of course I'll be on your side, Master."

Erase nodded and opened the scroll, reading the contents, he frowned.

Ryuchi Cave is located near the Land of Water, if you go there directly, then he will have to cross the entire Land of Fire, about halfway through Konoha.

Yeruashi was thinking about whether he should start mastering the three types of Sage Modes and developing the Sage Body right now, or whether it would be better to open the sixth gate first.

As he practiced the Flesh Tempering Technique with Ryton, he felt that he was nearing the opening of the sixth gate. This barrier seemed especially weak when he attempted to open the sixth gate with the Raiton attribute chakra.

According to his rough estimate, it would only take a few months to open the sixth gate if he trained hard in a state of fivefold time acceleration.

After opening the sixth gate, he should finally reach the level of super Kage, even if he still doesn't reach the level of Madara and Hashirama, the gap won't be too big.

And if he practiced Sage Mode, he would be able to make up for his lack of sensory perception, and there would no longer be a Hanzo situation where he couldn't find the location of his opponent.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Erase decided to return to Konoha.

In any case, he would have to pass through Konoha to reach Ryuchi Cave, so it was worth taking this opportunity to return home. It's time to fix the White Fang Blade and pass it to Kakashi, as well as try to find more powerful weights, with this practice Hachimon Tonko will run more smoothly.

As for being at the front and the war, Yeruashi didn't see the point of intervening in a stable situation, instead, it was much more important to increase personal strength.

It may seem that he is now invincible, but Madara is still alive given everything that happened earlier, Erase inevitably drew his attention.

What if Madara was already targeting him? If he decided to make a surprise strike, it would be very troublesome...

It is impossible to predict what kind of power Madara has in her current state.

Besides. Even if it turns out that the current Madara does not pose any threat to Yeruashi, and the battlefield of the Third World War Shinobi is completely safe, he will still continue to build up his strength, preparing for the Fourth World War Shinobi, which may break out in the future.

Yeruashi prefers not to take unnecessary risks.

This shinobi is invulnerable, but very careful.
