In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning Chapter 093

“The target is the jinchuriki and the tailed beasts. Could that organization be related to that masked man?”

Before Liu Sheng could reveal more information, the intelligent Minato Namikaze immediately thought of the masked man from the Nine-Tails incident.

“As expected of Lord Fourth, you are correct.”

Liu Sheng nodded and continued, “The Nine-Tails incident back then, and the Uchiha clan massacre when I was seven, are both related to that masked mastermind and that mysterious organization with the Rinnegan. This is the information I gathered from the brains of two members of that organization whom I eliminated.”

“Liu Sheng-kun, which organization did you eliminate?” Orochimaru immediately asked, eager to hear Sasori of the Red Sand’s name.

However, Liu Sheng’s answer left him slightly disappointed: “I killed Kakuzu, the S-rank missing-nin from Takigakure, and Hidan, the S-rank missing-nin from Yugakure.”

“Kakuzu?”

Hashirama Senju tilted his head, stroking his chin and muttering, “That name sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Was he a shinobi from our era?”

“Kakuzu was an elite Jonin from Takigakure, and also their strongest shinobi. He received a mission to assassinate you, Elder Brother, but failed. After that, the guys from Takigakure feared our retaliation, so they blamed Kakuzu. Then, for some unknown reason, Kakuzu stole Takigakure’s forbidden jutsu, Earth Grudge Fear, and defected.”

Tobirama Senju explained, “That incident was quite famous back then. He must have survived until this era thanks to Earth Grudge Fear.”

“So it was him! I remember now!”

Hashirama Senju slapped his palm with the back of his hand again, then his expression turned regretful, “It’s not easy for small villages to cultivate such strong shinobi, so I didn’t pay attention back then. It’s all my fault for forgetting to greet them, otherwise, such a misunderstanding wouldn’t have occurred.”

“…”

Orochimaru and the others fell silent.

Although Hashirama Senju was a bit silly, his words made Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi’s hearts tremble, feeling an unparalleled aura of dominance and pressure.

Just how powerful must a person be to feel that cultivating such strong shinobi is not easy, not only forgiving the strongest shinobi of an enemy village who tried to assassinate them but also blaming themselves for not informing the hostile ninja village not to blame their own people?

Is this the magnanimity of the God of Shinobi?

“Lord Orochimaru, Kabuto-senpai…”

At this moment, Liu Sheng’s voice suddenly pulled Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi back to reality.

Subconsciously looking at Liu Sheng, their pupils suddenly contracted.

They saw their bodies once again lose control, and branches climbed up from their feet.

Liu Sheng chuckled, “Please sleep for a while.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, who were affected by the Paralysis Jutsu and Silent Killing Binding Jutsu, had all their remaining chakra drained.

At the same time, the branches wrapped around them shimmered with blue light, transforming into black runes that spread across their bodies, sealing their consciousness.

Soon, both Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi lost consciousness.

However, the Impure World Reincarnation bodies of the three Hokage remained unchanged.

The unsolvable aspect of Impure World Reincarnation is that unless the caster dispels the jutsu, the only way to counter it is through sealing.

Even if the caster is killed, the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu will not be dispelled.

If the deceased reanimated by Impure World Reincarnation knows the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu and can perform them to release the jutsu’sbindung before the caster strips them of their consciousness and bodily control, then they become an immortal body that fears nothing but sealing.

Precisely because of this, Impure World Reincarnation, Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and Eight Gates Released Formation are known as the Three Great Divine Techniques of the Hokage world.

After all, these three jutsus performed exceptionally well during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

After sealing Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, Liu Sheng looked at Minato Namikaze and said, “Lord Fourth, Jiraiya and Naruto are on their way to the Land of Rice Fields. Their target is Lord Orochimaru. Would you like to meet your son?”

“Jiraiya-sensei and Naruto?”

Minato Namikaze’s eyes immediately lit up, and he asked curiously, “How many years have passed? How old is Naruto? Has Jiraiya changed at all?”

“Naruto is twelve years old this year, and he’s my classmate. As for Lord Jiraiya, I’m not particularly familiar with him,” Liu Sheng replied, “If you’re curious, you can go meet them or reveal yourself, but you’ll have to give me your ninja insights first.”

“What do you want?”

Minato Namikaze was somewhat tempted, but his expression remained serious as he looked at Liu Sheng.

Without needing to investigate, he could tell that Liu Sheng was not allied with Orochimaru.

Liberating their souls from the Shinigami and reanimating them all must have been orchestrated by Liu Sheng, all for the purpose of obtaining their ninja insights.

As long as Liu Sheng wasn’t an enemy but an ally, Minato Namikaze wouldn’t mind handing over his ninja insights.

Especially after learning about the masked man’s identity and the mysterious organization’s intelligence, Minato Namikaze would hold nothing back if he could help.

After all… that organization’s target was his son!

The stronger Liu Sheng was, the safer Naruto would be.

“I need your Flying Thunder God Jutsu and the cultivation insights for the Uzumaki clan’s sealing jutsu.”

Upon hearing Liu Sheng’s words, Tobirama Senju looked at Minato Namikaze with some surprise: “Fourth Hokage, you also learned the Flying Thunder God Jutsu?”

“Fourth Hokage?”

Hashirama Senju finally reacted, his eyes lighting up: “Has Konoha already reached the Fourth Hokage?”

Tobirama Senju’s forehead was covered in black lines as he retorted, “Big Brother, were you even listening? This junior just mentioned that the current Fifth Hokage is Tsunade, so Konoha has already reached the Fifth Hokage.”

“Oh, right, Hahaha…”

Hashirama Senju scratched the back of his head and laughed loudly.

Both Liu Sheng and Minato Namikaze had already gotten used to Hashirama Senju’s absentmindedness.

“The Flying Thunder God Jutsu was given to me by Jiraiya-sensei, who exchanged it with his merits. Thanks to this jutsu from Lord Second, I was able to become the Fourth Hokage.”

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and chuckled, offering a compliment, then turned to Liu Sheng and said, “Liu Sheng-kun, do you have any blank scrolls and a brush?”

“Yes.”

Liu Sheng took out a prepared storage scroll and retrieved the blank scrolls and brush stored inside.

At the same time, he also used Wood Release to create a table and chair for Minato Namikaze to write down his cultivation insights.

Then, Liu Sheng looked at Tobirama Senju and said, “Lord Second, I need your forbidden jutsu insights.”

“Alright.”

Tobirama Senju did not refuse either, reminding him, “However, it’s best to use forbidden jutsu like Impure World Reincarnation sparingly.”

Before Liu Sheng could speak, Hashirama Senju frowned and said, “Tobirama, you shouldn’t teach such forbidden jutsu that offend the souls of the deceased to our descendants, and I told you back then that this…”

“Big Brother, shut up.”

Tobirama Senju interrupted Hashirama Senju’s next words and scolded him, “So many years have passed, who knows how many people have learned my forbidden jutsu? This should be left for future generations just in case.”

“Alright…”

Hashirama Senju looked dejected, squatting on the ground and drawing circles.

Liu Sheng’s mouth twitched slightly, then he spoke, “Lord First, I need your Sage Mode and the Wood Release secret art that isn’t recorded in the Wood Release scrolls, the one that turned the land into the Valley of the End.”

“You mean the True Several Thousand Hands?”

Hashirama Senju looked at Liu Sheng in surprise, “How did you know about that Wood Release technique?”

“As long as you understand the Uchiha clan’s Susanoo, you can calculate the area of the Valley of the End.”

Liu Sheng lied without batting an eye, “That kind of area couldn’t possibly be accomplished by a Tailed Beast, Susanoo, or even the Wood Golem Jutsu. In fact, the Wood Golem Jutsu is like a child compared to an elephant in front of that technique; they’re not even on the same level.”

“Hahaha… truly an excellent descendant. Not only are your hair and eye colors the same, but your mind is as clever as Tobirama’s.”

Hashirama Senju stood up and laughed, “True Several Thousand Hands is a Sage Art secret technique I developed by increasing the proportion of senjutsu chakra and fusing it with Wood Release chakra.”

After speaking, Hashirama Senju looked troubled and said, “However, I don’t know how to teach you Sage Mode. One time, when I was extracting chakra, I suddenly discovered an energy in nature. By absorbing it, a special energy naturally formed. After learning about the Three Great Holy Sites, I realized this was senjutsu chakra.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng’s eyes immediately flashed with a sharp glint. No wonder he hadn’t found Hashirama Senju’s name on the scroll when he signed the contract with Shikkotsu Forest. This was indeed a passive ability after achieving mastery of the Sage Body.

So, Liu Sheng said, “It’s alright, I’ve already signed a contract with the Shikkotsu Forest Holy Site. Lord First, you just need to teach me the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.”

“Alright.”

Hashirama Senju agreed without hesitation, then reminded with a serious expression, “True Several Thousand Hands requires an immense amount of senjutsu chakra. Before you can raise your senjutsu chakra and Wood Release chakra to a 5:5 ratio, do not attempt to use this Sage Art on your own, or the natural energy might harm your body.”

“I understand.”

Liu Sheng nodded seriously, then took out blank scrolls and pens again, using Wood Release to create tables and chairs for Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju.

The three Hokage were like students at the Ninja Academy, diligently writing at their desks. This scene was full of contrasting humor.

If he weren’t afraid of offending them, Liu Sheng would have almost pulled out a camera to capture this moment; it would definitely be their black history.

Before long, Hashirama Senju stood up and handed the scroll to Liu Sheng.

After all, he only wrote down one Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. As for the other Wood Release techniques, Liu Sheng already had the training methods.

Some advanced Wood Release techniques that he hadn’t mastered yet would naturally be mastered once Liu Sheng could instantly convert his chakra to Wood Release chakra at a higher proportion.

Looking at the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands in his hand, Liu Sheng’s mood was very pleasant.

As long as he mastered this technique, even without the Sharingan, he would be the strongest person below the Six Paths in the future.

Once his Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyo Sharingan, surpassing Hashirama Senju in his prime would be inevitable.

At that time, his combat power might even be comparable to Six Paths Obito.

Not long after, Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze also finished writing.

Although they had a lot of insights to write, it was nothing compared to the documents they had to handle during their terms as Hokage.

“Thank you very much for your help, former Hokage-sama.”

Liu Sheng, who took the scrolls, bowed to the three Hokage.

“Junior, do not fall into the abyss of forbidden jutsu.”

Tobirama Senju instructed, “Ninjutsu and forbidden jutsu are merely tools for us to use against our enemies.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Liu Sheng nodded seriously, then smiled, “Lord First, Lord Second, would you like to go back to Konoha and see Auntie Tsunade?”

“No need.”

Hashirama Senju spoke first, “The dead should not interfere with the world of the living. Although I’d love to see how Tsunade has grown, momentary joy would only bring greater sadness.”

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze, who had been tempted to go see Jiraiya-sensei and Naruto, immediately dismissed the idea.

Just as Lord First said, they couldn’t affect the lives of those who had already moved on from the past for their own selfish desires.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze had left a failsafe inside Naruto. As long as the Nine-Tails’ seal weakened, his and Kushina’s chakra would appear, allowing them to witness their son’s growth.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze couldn’t help but say to Tobirama Senju, “Lord Second, can you release the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu?”

“A piece of cake.”

Tobirama Senju smiled confidently, “This kid named Orochimaru didn’t strip us of our consciousness or bodily control. Even if my strength is only one-tenth of what it was, I can still seize control of the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu.”

“Big Brother, Fourth Hokage, come over here.”

Once Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze were on his left and right, Tobirama Senju quickly formed hand seals, crouched down, and slammed his hands on the ground: “Impure World Reincarnation — Release!”

Black runes spread across the three of them, all emitting a dazzling white light.

White dust began to fall away, and the souls of Hashirama Senju and the other two detached from their bodies, floating upwards.

Before leaving, Tobirama Senju said solemnly to Liu Sheng, “Junior, Konoha is in your hands.”

“Remember not to tell Tsunade about us,” Hashirama Senju also instructed.

Minato Namikaze’s voice was gentle as he pleaded, “Liu Sheng-kun, please take care of Naruto for me.”

“I understand, I will, rest assured.”

Liu Sheng nodded with a serious expression.

Watching the three Hokage ascend, Liu Sheng searched through the pile of white dust to find the mediums used for their Impure World Reincarnation and stored them in his spatial backpack.

Immediately after, Liu Sheng approached Orochimaru, activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, placed his hand on Orochimaru’s head, and infused Yin Release chakra. He quickly completed the hypnosis and asked, “Do you still have any mediums for the Impure World Reincarnation of the previous Hokage?”

“Yes.”

“Where are they all?”

“They… they’re all inside my body.”

“Besides your body, are there any other places?”

“No… no.”

“Very good, spit them out.”

“Yes… retch…”

Liu Sheng stepped back a few paces, watching the dazed and expressionless Orochimaru vomit out scroll after scroll, as if his body were a bottomless pit.

Liu Sheng’s forehead was covered in black lines.

Good heavens, so much storage capacity. What exactly did Orochimaru transform his body into?

Taking out a pair of gloves from his spatial backpack and putting them on, Liu Sheng then retrieved a towel and wiped the mucus off the scrolls. Only then did he use Wood Release to create a box to store them, which he then put into his spatial backpack.

After doing all this, Liu Sheng’s body sank into the ground, having used the Mayfly Jutsu.

Once Liu Sheng had traveled far away, the branches on Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi naturally fell off, and the black runes covering their bodies quickly dissipated.

When they regained consciousness, Liu Sheng and the former Hokage had already disappeared.
