Chương 185: Chapter 185

[500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1000PS!]

Let's not talk about how Kisame felt after being mistaken for collateral damage for the first time.

In front of Konoha's assembled forces, Tsunade's gaze went straight past Kisame, who had just been punched away by her, and locked onto the man sitting leisurely on a large rock.

That man!

The young man dressed in white, with the Hagoromo clan emblem on his shoulders!

Tsunade had seen him before.

However, at that time, his face was full of cracks—he wasn't alive.

But now...

With her skills as a medical expert, Tsunade could immediately sense the powerful life force emanating from him, even enough to shock her.

Hagoromo Gensou!

A man from the Warring States period who was on par with her grandfather, Hashirama, and Madara, hailed as an equal to gods, now living his second life.

At this moment, he appeared here!

The worst-case scenario she had predicted had indeed come to pass.

Not only Tsunade, who instinctively clenched her fists, but also Jiraiya, Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, Shikamaru, and the others behind her all looked grim.

The presence of Gensou demanded utmost caution.

In contrast, Gensou himself remained relaxed, still sitting on the rock, scanning the mass of people in front of him before returning his gaze to Tsunade with a faint smile:

"Long time no see, Tsunade."

"No, I should call you the Fifth Hokage now. Carrying on your grandfather's legacy, quite impressive."

For some reason, Tsunade felt a hint of mockery in his words.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, she questioned, "Gensou! After killing the Root shinobi, you dare to appear in Konoha again!"

Gensou replied calmly, "Why not? I'd say I did you a favor. Having all this authority must feel pretty good, right? No need to thank me; consider it a congratulatory gift from an elder."

Normally, hearing such words from Gensou would have made Tsunade charge at him without a second thought.

But as Hokage, she bore a greater responsibility and held back her anger for now.

"This is a gift I cannot accept." She spoke coldly, "What are you here for this time? To give another 'gift'?"

"Unannounced?" Gensou raised an eyebrow, "If I remember correctly, this is the Uchiha clan's grounds, right? I was invited here by the Uchiha. How is that unannounced?"

"This is Konoha! And the Uchiha are part of Konoha." Tsunade replied sternly.

"They were, but not anymore." Gensou announced plainly.

Boom!

As if to affirm this fact.

Blazing flames erupted from the ruins of Naka Shrine behind Gensou, exploding in the air.

Like fireworks, it was a striking sight.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed as she prepared to speak more forcefully.

Jiraiya stopped her, stepping forward and glancing at Kisame, who stood quietly in his Akatsuki attire, before addressing Gensou:

"Senpai, may I ask what brings you here today, alongside the Akatsuki?"

Jiraiya was somewhat concerned about the potential alliance between Gensou and the mysterious and powerful Akatsuki.

If that were the case, it would indeed be bad news.

Gensou didn't hide anything: "The Uchiha are dealing with a traitor, and I'm here as a witness. As for the Akatsuki..."

Gensou glanced at Kisame and said calmly, "This guy came on his own."

Feeling quite uneasy in his current situation, Kisame, who was mentally planning his escape, still nodded in agreement to show it was true.

Knowing that such a person wouldn't lie, Jiraiya sighed slightly in relief.

However, the words "dealing with a traitor" from Gensou also made him understand immediately: "It is true then, Itachi is up there. Along with Sasuke and the other Uchiha."

Itachi was the culprit of the massacre, so Sasuke and the surviving Uchiha seeking revenge was entirely natural.

However, this was still Konoha.

If outsiders were allowed to fight to the death here, even if they were missing-nin...

And for the leader of the village to arrive with such a large force, only to be stopped and left as mere spectators—that would be a massive blow to Konoha's reputation. Especially since the one blocking them was also the one who had eradicated Root.

Although many Konoha shinobi were glad Root was gone, that was only in private.

On the surface, there had to be a united front.

Jiraiya understood that regardless of the danger, Konoha had to act.

Be it against Itachi, Sasuke, or Gensou.

Jiraiya gave Tsunade a meaningful look.

Quickly, a chilling tension began to emanate from Konoha's side.

Seeing this, Kisame squinted his eyes.

Not wanting to get involved in a god-level confrontation, he was ready to flee at any moment.

As for Gensou, he remained calm, even taking a moment to consider his own question.

"Speaking of which, I feel like something's missing here."

"That's it!"

Gensou suddenly remembered.

With Sasuke being up there, he should have heard a certain loudmouth shouting "Sasuke! Sasuke!" by now.

But at this moment, besides Tsunade and Jiraiya, no one else from Konoha had uttered a word—everyone was trained and disciplined.

Gensou carefully scanned the group again.

Kakashi was there, Yamato was there, even Sakura was there.

But Naruto was missing.

And with that, there was no heartfelt "Sasuke" call at the start of this scene.

"Training? Or maybe he wasn't allowed to come due to being the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki?"

Without Naruto, Gensou felt that being the "big bad" who had taken Sasuke lacked a bit of fun.

He shook his head, looked at the poised Konoha shinobi, and kindly reminded them:

"If I were you, I'd stay put and wait for the outcome. Why risk your lives needlessly?"

"You..." Tsunade's forehead veins bulged in anger, "Don't underestimate Konoha shinobi!"

Boom!!!

The ground exploded into a massive crater.

Another battle had officially begun.

Tsunade moved swiftly, dashing at Gensou, her fist ready to strike.

In an instant, the sharp sound of the air splitting echoed continuously.

Still sitting on the rock, Gensou watched calmly.

Just as Tsunade's fist was about to connect...

He raised his palm.

Slap!

Fist met palm!

Gensou remained unmoved.

However, the rock beneath him couldn't withstand the force and shattered.

Gensou stood up effortlessly.

But his hand remained holding Tsunade's fist.

Looking at her from close range, he said calmly:

"Women should be gentle."

Chương 186: Chapter 186

"You can actually block my monstrous strength??"

Tsunade's pupils shrank in shock as she looked at her fist being held back, unable to move an inch.

This was the first time she had encountered an opponent whose strength was not inferior to hers.

"Ninpo: Needle Jizō!"

Sharp, silver-white hair, sharper than steel needles, brushed past Tsunade and shot towards Hagoromo Gensou.

Gensou glanced at the simple robe he was wearing.

Though his body could endure this ninjutsu, if his clothes got torn, being naked would be too indecent.

He released Tsunade's fist, his figure retreating like a gust of wind, easily avoiding the Needle Jizō.

"Tsunade, let's attack together," Jiraiya said seriously as he arrived by Tsunade's side.

Tsunade nodded. "Be careful! His strength is not inferior to mine."

"Understood!"

Jiraiya clapped his hands together, ready to fight alongside Tsunade as they had not done in a long time.

And not only them.

Among the Konoha ninja who had arrived, a large group of elite jōnin split off to assist them.

"Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!"

"Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!"

"Shadow Tentacles!"

"...."

One moment, Gensou had just repelled Tsunade and Jiraiya, and the next, he was surrounded by various strange ninjutsu from all directions.

"Such fancy techniques."

Gensou commented indifferently before clapping his hands together: "Fūton: Daitoppa."

A simple C-rank ninjutsu, but in his hands, it suddenly produced the power of a level ten typhoon. Be it the incoming elemental ninjutsu or secret techniques like the Insect Sphere, they were blown far away in an instant.

Then, Gensou looked around.

Most of Konoha's main forces were here, with the elite forces split between attacking Kisame and heading towards Naka Shrine under Kakashi's lead.

There was no need to worry about Kisame.

However, as for Naka Shrine, since he had declared that no one should disturb it, not even a bug could be allowed in.

Gensou clapped his hands together again.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Poof, poof, poof, poof

Thick white smoke rose, and thirty shadow clones appeared beside Gensou.

Back when he finally completed the initial mission after decades of effort, the system had rewarded him with a technique called "Harem Jutsu"—a technique he would never use.

But the Harem Jutsu was simply a combination of Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu.

Naturally, Gensou had learned the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.

This time, he used it to create an overwhelming number of clones to intercept Kakashi's squad and seal off any paths, allowing no one to disturb Uchiha's revenge.

As for why he didn't go all-out right away—

Gensou looked around with deep meaning in his eyes, observing Tsunade, whose chakra reserves were not much inferior to his own, Jiraiya, who was also exceptional in chakra, and the other Konoha jōnin.

In his eyes, these people were all future precious resources, fuel for his ascension through the Kekkei Sōmō.

If he killed them all, he would lose sources of chakra in the future.

Although everyone in the shinobi world had some chakra to varying degrees, ordinary people compared to ninja, genin compared to jōnin, and even jōnin compared to kage-level, the difference in chakra reserves was like night and day.

Therefore, Gensou's actions needed to be gentle and careful to avoid crushing these fragile "porcelain" in front of him.

Of course, if anyone was so foolish as to seek death, he wouldn't hesitate to kill a few to set an example.

The battle outside Naka Shrine proceeded in an orderly manner under Gensou's arrangements.

Inside Naka Shrine, after scattering Uchiha Itachi's crow army, Sasuke and the others prepared to seize victory and kill Itachi once and for all.

Blood-red tears trickled down Itachi's right eye.

"Amaterasu!"

The ominous black flames that could burn everything instantly descended, devouring the fire-style flames left behind.

Very quickly, the area around Naka Shrine turned into a sea of black flames.

The commotion drew the attention of Konoha's forces below, and except for the headstrong Sakura, Kakashi, and a few others, everyone else instinctively abandoned their intent to rush to Naka Shrine.

Meanwhile—

Within the sea of black flames, Sasuke, who had been specifically targeted, was a step too slow and failed to break free of the encirclement.

The ominous Amaterasu black flames now sealed him in a small area.

Within that space, aside from himself, there was only one other—Uchiha Itachi.

"It's over, Sasuke. Your eyes, I will take them!"

Itachi slowly rose, ignoring the bloodstains at the corner of his right eye, and walked towards Sasuke, his gaze filled with intensity.

Sasuke looked calmly at Itachi as he approached step by step.

"Separating me from the others, trapping me here—you're trying to take me down quickly to take my eyes, right?"

"Itachi, you're still so arrogant! Then let me take your life myself."

Lightning chakra infused Sasuke's blade once more as he charged toward Itachi without hesitation.

Itachi gazed at Sasuke calmly, locking eyes with his determined gaze.

"Tsukuyomi!"

Slash!

Blood spattered.

"Sasuke! Run!"

Seeing Itachi spit blood and collapse in front of him, Sasuke momentarily lost his focus.

"Sasuke! Leave now! We're no match for Itachi!"

Shortly after, Izumi also fell, using her last bit of strength to speak before falling silent forever.

The culprit behind all this, Itachi, once again raised his blade.

One after another, familiar faces—just like that night of the clan's massacre—fell before Sasuke.

Sasuke was initially filled with rage and regret, his three-tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly.

However, he quickly realized something, and fiercely pressed on his neck, where Orochimaru's mark used to be. A blue Hagoromo clan crest suddenly surfaced at that spot.

Under Sasuke's conscious control, the blue crest turned into flowing light that spread across his body.

In an instant, a different kind of energy than chakra filled his entire being.

Blue markings appeared around Sasuke's eyes.

An aura far stronger than before burst from him.

This was Sage Mode!

With his heart still unfulfilled for revenge, Sasuke normally wouldn't have been able to cultivate sage techniques, which require a very stable state of mind.

However, before setting off, as the developer of Sage Techniques, Gensou had specifically placed a one-time-use Sage Mode mark on Sasuke, for use in a critical moment.

Though it could only be maintained for a minute, it was already enough for Sasuke.

Crack, crack, crack

The Tsukuyomi illusion world shattered once again.

In the real world, Itachi, who was half-kneeling on the ground, looked up to see Sasuke, now much faster than before, charging at him like lightning.

"Still not enough, huh..."

He sighed, attempting to activate Susanoo.

But just as a portion of the ribcage formed—

A lightning-infused blade pierced through the ribs effortlessly, continuing without resistance to stab into Itachi's heart.
