Kapitel 9: Chapter 9

"Hmm... This is a not a difficult choice at all," our main character mused, a smile playing on his lips as he swiftly reached a conclusion.

In the next moment, with a breath exhaled, a towering figure, standing at 8 feet 8 inches tall, materialized before him.

The man's muscular physique, partially clad, exuded an aura of dominance, accentuated by his long white hair and intricate tattoos, presenting an imposing and formidable presence.

"Where... am I?" The newcomer appeared disoriented for a fleeting moment, seemingly ready to voice his inquiries, but our main character swiftly silenced him with a gesture.

"Save your questions for later. Be quiet for now; I'm waiting for something important," our mc commanded, and his directive was promptly obeyed.

With this powerful new ally summoned, our protagonist felt assured of his safety in this Naruto world. He doubted even Prime Hashirama could match Prime Raizen in strength.

All he needed to do now was wait.

Back in the sorrowful forest, an air of death hung heavy over the landscape.

"Sho."

The mere utterance of the simplest incantation of hado was enough to snap the necks of these hapless mortals. They didn't even have a moment to resist.

Their bodies contorted grotesquely, broken beyond recognition. If our mc were present, he would have been stunned to witness how such a common and basic kido spell could wreak such havoc.

Even the infamous brothers, Ginkaku and Kinkaku, would soon meet a similar fate.

"BANG!"

Eighteen ninjas of Kumogakure lay dead amidst the chaos, while the transformed brothers, now in their four-tail beast form, were tossed about mercilessly by the unseen force of Hado #1. Sho.

"Return, for you are not my equals, boys. Go back and live to see another day. Do not force my hand to end your lives," Head Captain Yamamoto advised the two brothers.

His sole mission, assigned by our protagonist, was to preserve the life of a man named Tobirama Senju.

For three weeks, he had operated clandestinely within the ninja world, observing every move made during the First Shinobi War.

And today marked the culmination of his efforts, as Tobirama acted as a decoy, luring death's grasp away from his students.

"AHHHHHHH! Die, old man!" the enraged brothers roared as they hurled massive tailed beast balls toward Head Captain Yamamoto.

"So it shall be. Byakurai," Head Captain Yamamoto calmly uttered, raising his wooden staff toward the two brothers.

"BANG!" A slender bolt of lightning emanated from Yamamoto's staff, and then the heavens above opened up, unleashing torrents of massive lightning pillars that engulfed the entire scene.

The brothers and their beast balls were swiftly reduced to naught but dust in the wake of this cataclysmic display.

It served as a poignant reminder of the overwhelming might wielded by a true Kido Master, illustrating how even the most rudimentary techniques could unleash havoc in the hands of a skilled practitioner.

What remained were the charred remnants of the two brothers and their men.

Amidst the aftermath, the man in question, meant to be saved, was cocooned in adamantine sealing chains, enveloping him like a mummy.

Though his eyes remained uncovered, he witnessed the spectacle of an unfamiliar old man effortlessly decimating the highly skilled Kinkaku Unit.

Head Captain Yamamoto directed his gaze towards a specific point and addressed someone unseen. "Now release him, girl. That man is under my protection."
