Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Collapse of Base

The power to destroy a nation erupted suddenly.

The ground trembled as if two giant demons collided, their destructive force affecting everything around them. Even the clouds in the sky split apart.

After a long while, Orochimaru's base miraculously survived, but the shockwave was too powerful.

The base showed cracks, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.

The forest where the battle took place had been flattened, with several massive craters forming dark, bottomless abysses.

Sasuke lay collapsed in one of the pits, gasping for breath, staring blankly at the sky.

He had lost.

He had lost to his brother.

Was the power he had gained so weak?

The legendary power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was just this?

During the Warring States period, Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan could dominate all the Hokage except for Hashirama.

But now, was it because the times had changed?

Was the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan so weak?

Was his brother's immense eye power gained by becoming a Hollow?

Thinking back to Orochimaru, although he hadn't caused Sasuke any substantial harm, Sasuke would not have survived the explosion without Susanoo.

The hope for revenge...

Sasuke couldn't see it.

Thud, thud, thud!

Heavy footsteps echoed in Sasuke's ears, making him anxious, unsure if it was due to instinctive fear or his fear of his brother.

He quickly got up, looking fearfully at Itachi, especially at the hollow void in his chest, feeling a twinge of panic.

This guy...

Is he really the resurrected Itachi?

Clearly, the Mangekyo Sharingan had merged with his own eyes, so why did this version of Itachi still have the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and why was it even stronger?

Why!

Sasuke roared in frustration internally.

Itachi looked at Sasuke, who was fearful of him, with a complicated expression.

"Do you now understand the gap in power?"

"The power that seems grand and capable of destroying everything is nothing in front of Ryujiro."

"You must have seen the abyss that runs through the vicinity."

"That abyss was created by Ryujiro. Can you really bridge such a vast gap?"

That abyss?

Sasuke's pupils shrank sharply. He had noticed the endless abyss before but thought it was caused by some natural disaster in the area.

But now Itachi told him.

It was caused by Ryujiro.

"The shinobi world will be ruled by Konoha in the future. No matter what you do, it's useless."

"Besides..."

Itachi's lips curled into a bitter smile. "It was my wrong choice back then."

Sasuke's eyes reddened, bloodshot, as he stood up angrily and questioned, "Then why did you choose Konoha?"

"Is the village more important than our clan!"

Sasuke, who had never experienced Itachi's situation, would not understand.

Now, Itachi regretted his choice back then, thinking there might have been other ways to solve it.

In fact, his father was unwilling to turn against Konoha's leaders, but due to certain voices within the clan, he was pushed step by step to make that choice.

His father also had Mangekyo Sharingan.

Couldn't two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan intimidate those within the clan and resolve their predicament?

The Uchiha clan was home, and Konoha was also home. Bearing the double agent's identity had exhausted Itachi physically and mentally.

"The clan is home... Konoha is also home."

"At that time, the Uchiha clan had long been ostracized by the villagers. Even if the coup succeeded, what we gained would be an empty shell."

"Sasuke, I have nothing more to say to you."

"Mom and Dad's last words to me were to take care of you."

"You are the most beloved younger brother in our family. We will always love you."

"So..."

"Live well and don't do anything foolish."

Thud.

Sasuke looked at Itachi's serious expression and genuine emotion, memories flooding his mind.

Tears streamed down Sasuke's face.

He collapsed to the ground, crying out in frustration, his voice echoing around him.

After his voice died down, Sasuke lay on the ground.

Seeing this, Itachi tenderly picked him up.

Just as he was about to take Sasuke back to the base, the base suddenly shook violently, the cracks around it widening and spreading.

"Rumble—"

In an instant, countless stones fell, and the base, weathered by time, finally collapsed.

A figure darted out of the base. Kabuto, looking back in confusion at the collapsing base, then at Itachi, stood stunned for a long time.

Itachi was also dumbfounded, staring at the ruins in front of him.

Meanwhile, in a certain void, a figure floated in the air, holding a Truth-Seeking Ball staff, with captivating Rinnegan eyes and a robe of the Six Paths, looking like a sage.

If anyone were here, they would undoubtedly exclaim, for this figure resembled the Sage of Six Paths from the legends.

This person was the Sage of Six Paths, who had been watching over the shinobi world.

At this moment, Hagoromo Otsutsuki frowned, watching everything happening in the shinobi world. The current development was beyond his expectations.

Especially the ninja named Ryujiro, whose abilities were not from ninjutsu or the shinobi world.

At one point, he saw a mysterious power in Ryujiro, creating life, and sometimes, his attempts to observe Ryujiro were ineffective, only occasionally seeing bits and pieces.

What shocked him even more was that even the Shinigami broke free from the Pure Land's restraints, becoming a living being, and the will left in the Shinigami was instantly erased by Ryujiro.

Such methods...

Would definitely affect the balance of the shinobi world.

Not belonging to ninjas or the shinobi world...

Could it be that Ryujiro, like his mother, was an outsider?!

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Koyuki Kazahana

To the Sage of Six Paths, beings from outside the world were unpredictable factors capable of destroying the shinobi world.

However, no matter how he looked at Ryujiro, he seemed human.

If he was indeed like his mother, an outsider, then could there be others apart from the Otsutsuki clan?

The Sage of Six Paths, born in the shinobi world, though carrying Otsutsuki blood, knew little about the Otsutsuki clan.

The only member he knew was his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Now, Konoha's actions seemed brutal even to the Sage of Six Paths.

Changing the current state of the shinobi world without regard—could this truly bring lasting peace?

"Hamura," he mused, "You gave your chakra to that young girl. Do you really believe the shinobi world can achieve lasting peace?"

Reflecting on the long history of the shinobi world, Hagoromo Otsutsuki regretted founding the Ninshu.

Without it, perhaps the world wouldn't have ninjutsu. It was his son, Asura, who discovered the changes in chakra, leading to the creation of ninjutsu.

Unifying the shinobi world?

Hagoromo wasn't planning to interfere in the shinobi world's affairs just yet.

After all, he was a deceased person. But Ryujiro's ability to alter souls was too concerning.

Such methods had already severely disrupted the balance between the spiritual and physical worlds, reminiscent of the Edo Tensei created by the Second Hokage of Konoha.

Ryujiro's techniques were even more terrifying.

However, thinking back, the Land of Earth and Stone Village, now part of the Land of Fire, hadn't suffered mass slaughter from Konoha.

Ryujiro only dealt with a few rebels, indicating he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.

Hagoromo decided to continue observing.

If things got out of hand, he would intervene.

He still doubted Ryujiro's identity as an outsider, suspecting that perhaps Ryujiro had been possessed by someone else.

In the Land of Lightning, Konoha's army advanced.

Leading them, Hinata showcased her immense power, demoralizing the ninjas of Cloud Village. It was an unquestionable victory.

Hinata demonstrated the mighty power of the Tenseigan to the world. That power, surpassing human limits, split the entire Land of Lightning in two.

Three days after clashing with Konoha, the Land of Lightning surrendered, and its daimyo declared that the Land of Lightning no longer existed.

Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning became Konoha's territory, renamed the Lightning City.

This news spread, causing upheaval in the shinobi world. The Land of Water grew anxious, knowing they were Konoha's next target.

Though aware they might not be a match for Konoha, no nation wanted to see its downfall. Konoha's actions had surpassed everyone's expectations.

However, despite conquering several nations, Konoha did not slaughter the original inhabitants but integrated them into the Land of Fire, making them part of Konoha.

Did Konoha intend to dominate and rule the entire shinobi world?

Such grand ambition—how could Konoha harbor such thoughts?

The Land of Water sought to ally with smaller nations to resist Konoha, but none wanted to be cannon fodder.

Some villages even pledged allegiance to Konoha, seeking its protection, growing more trusting under Konoha's aegis.

The unification trend seemed unstoppable.

In the Land of Snow, a figure walked through its territory, commanding respect and fear, especially with his large black sword.

The Land of Snow had transformed.

The tyrant Doto Kazahana, who seized the throne ten years ago, fell to Mihawk's sword in a single strike. The new ruler was Koyuki Kazahana.

Mihawk, whose swordsmanship was divine, had shown strength beyond the comprehension of the Land of Snow's people.

Doto's subordinates were like ants before Mihawk, falling one after another.

Upon reaching the royal palace, the guards greeted Mihawk with reverence, "Lord Mihawk."

Mihawk did not respond, walking straight in after the doors opened.

The guards, relieved, wiped the sweat from their brows.

"Phew! Mihawk-sama's presence is as daunting as ever."

"Just one glance fills you with fear."

"His aura is like his black sword."

"He saved our Land of Snow. Doto and his men were no match for him."

"Who would have known Doto was the one who killed the previous ruler? It's tragic."

Two guards sighed in awe.

Everyone greeted Mihawk respectfully as he passed, but he remained cold and silent.

No one resented him for this; they were used to his silent demeanor.

In a lavish room, a maid knocked gently, "Lady Koyuki, Lord Mihawk is here."

"Please, let him in!"

Koyuki Kazahana stood up, her pale face blushing slightly.

"Lord Mihawk."

As the ruler of a nation, Koyuki still held deep respect for Mihawk.

"Is there something you need from me?" Koyuki asked softly.

Mihawk looked at Koyuki and said, "My leader wants to see you."

"Leader?!"

Koyuki's eyes widened. When Mihawk saved her, he mentioned he wasn't acting out of sympathy but under his leader's orders.

Such a powerful figure like Mihawk had a leader—an unimaginable thought for Koyuki.

Her heart raced. Was Mihawk taking her to meet this leader?

"Lord Mihawk, is your leader here in the Land of Snow?" Koyuki asked tentatively.

Mihawk shook his head. "The leader is arriving soon."
