Chapter 248 The cheat system seems to have been ruined; the funeral.
Night, a time-traveling room.
With a bang, Ishikawa quickly pushed the door open and entered, only to be greeted by the scene of Nohara Rin closing the door and returning to the Third World War timeline.
"Is Lin really that shy?" Ishikawa was speechless as he watched the door close rapidly. He had rushed back to tell her that Kakashi was going to become the Fifth Hokage.
However, remembering that Nohara Rin had sneaked back from there, Ishikawa immediately understood and reached for the doorknob without thinking further...
The most urgent task now is to see if his cheat system can help him resolve the negative effects of Shukaku's chakra.
The next instant, as Ishikawa reached out and grabbed the doorknob, there was a click, and his right hand was as if it were welded to it and could not move!
At the same time, a familiar, tingling electric shock spread throughout my body and finally flowed into the Five Elements Sealing Technique space.
Within the sealed space unseen by Ishikawa, before the frantically cursing Yin Shoukaku could react, a thick bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and exploded with a deafening roar!
"What kind of sealing technique is this? It even has lightning attacks?! Damn Konoha brat, I'll definitely kill you when I get out of here, I'll definitely... Ah~ Why is it happening again?!"
Shukaku, its mouth emitting smoke, broke through its defenses once more, its eyes widening in fury as it watched the lightning bolts raining down from above.
What's most infuriating is that every bolt of lightning that appears takes away a portion of his chakra and merges it into that kid's body, which is both powerless and terrifying!
The thought of Shukaku gradually losing its chakra and becoming a Jinchūriki's power sent chills down his spine...
Damn it, are Konoha's sealing techniques really that powerful? No wonder the Nine-Tails stayed obediently inside that blond guy's body; it must have been because it was careless back then!
They should have run away as soon as they came out, but now they've not only been split in two but are also being gradually weakened. It's outrageous!
At this moment, Shukaku deeply missed the wonderful life it had in Gaara's body. This constant fear and anxiety—this was no life a tailed beast should endure…
Shouldn't a Jinchūriki be someone whose vessel is consumed by a Tailed Beast, causing them to live in fear? How come it's the other way around in this case?
"Here it comes, here it comes! This long-lost feeling of being overpowered is finally back! It was worth the huge risk I took to become a Jinchūriki. This was definitely worth it." Ishikawa thought to himself, feeling the rapid replenishment of his cells and the transformation and surge of his chakra.
Although his body was paralyzed and he couldn't enter the sealed space to check on Shukaku's condition, Ishikawa knew with his toes that it was all thanks to Shukaku.
I wonder if today's attack will be able to drain Shukaku dry and force him to activate Shukaku Chakra Mode.
It lasted for a full ten minutes.
Amid Ishikawa's anticipation and Shukaku's agonizing wait, this forced connection broke the record, lasting a full ten minutes before suddenly separating.
"My chakra has doubled, and it feels different!" Ishikawa exclaimed as he stood up two minutes later.
Feeling the powerful 4 chakra, Ishikawa thought of something, stretched out his right hand, and chakra surged in his palm, quickly condensing into a Rasengan.
"Hiss, this, this is..."
The next second, Ishikawa stared in disbelief at the subtle patterns that appeared on the surface of the Rasengan.
"Magnetic Release! This is Shukaku's Magnet Release chakra!!"
Although the Magnet Release: Rasengan before us wasn't as powerful as the one used by Six Paths Naruto, it was indeed Shukaku's Magnet Release power.
Thinking of Shukaku's expertise in Magnet Release and Wind Release, Ishikawa immediately realized that he had no intention of testing the power of Magnet Release: Rasengan, and quickly dispersed his chakra to take out the chakra test strip.
As Ishikawa channeled his chakra, the chakra test strips quickly changed. Magnet Release couldn't be detected, but the cutting effect indicating Wind Release had appeared.
"Although I don't plan to pursue the full-attribute ninja route due to limited energy, having Wind Release is better than nothing, and I can learn a few more Wind Release techniques to keep as secret weapons. This is a great deal, a real steal!" Ishikawa threw away the discarded test paper and immediately turned his head to look at the doorknob with burning eyes.
If it happens every time, what if it happens again?
Since Shukaku is the one who'll suffer losses anyway, why hesitate? Just go all in and buy in!
Without hesitation, Ishikawa checked the time and immediately reached for the doorknob, ready to unleash his cheat code and squeeze Shukaku again.
"crunch..."
"Huh??" Accompanied by an unusually familiar voice, Ishikawa, who was overjoyed, did not receive an electric shock, but instead the door was suddenly opened by him!
Yes, the inner wall portal that had baffled him in the World War III timeline was opened by him with such ease and normalcy!
"What's going on? Is the power out? Or did I open it wrong?" Instinctively, Ishikawa immediately closed the door and looked at his right hand with suspicion.
He paused for half a second, then reached out to open the door again.
With another creak, the time portal that only Nohara Rin could open was once again opened by Ishikawa.
With a bang, Ishikawa immediately slammed the door shut, staring at the doorknob with a mixture of surprise and delight...
Good news, he can finally go to the Third World War timeline without going through Nohara Rin.
Bad news! It seems he's ruined this cheat code. I don't know if it just ran out of power today, or if it'll never run out of power again!
[Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow night to watch it. I hope it doesn't all go to waste like this...] With a sigh, Ishikawa lost all interest in the World War III timeline and went straight to the bathroom to wash up and go to sleep.
He's had a busy day, he must be exhausted! Yeah, mentally exhausted...
The next day.
The gray sky was covered with dark clouds, as if the entire village was shrouded in endless sorrow.
On the roof of the Hokage Building, two neat black square formations are distributed on both sides.
Ishikawa, dressed in black mourning clothes, followed behind Kakashi with a sorrowful expression. Behind him were Karin and her two companions, also dressed in black mourning clothes, along with Naruto and Sasuke.
"Everyone, we are gathered here today for this memorial service to mourn the Third Hokage and all the other heroes who sacrificed their lives for the village. In this invasion, they gave their lives..."
Hokage advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado stood at the front, holding white chrysanthemums in a somber and sorrowful tribute.
As people around us continued to cry, it seemed as if even the heavens were moved, and a light drizzle soon began to fall from the sky...
【Third Hokage, I'm sorry, but I had no choice for the sake of Konoha!】 Following the flow of people, Ishikawa offered chrysanthemums and silently mourned for half a second while looking at the Third Hokage's portrait.
Regardless of any dark history the third generation might have had, they had generally treated him fairly well. Therefore, this apology from Ishikawa was truly heartfelt…
However, Ishikawa didn't dwell on it too much; the Third Hokage's death was his own choice. Kakashi was there at the time; if the Third Hokage hadn't wanted to die, he would have had a chance.
However, he still chose to sacrifice himself. This resolve alone is worthy of the Third Hokage of Konoha.
"Oh, right, since everyone's here today, I have something to announce!" Just as everyone was about to leave after their prayers, Koharu Utatane suddenly called out to them. "In a week, the village will hold the succession ceremony for the fifth head of the village."
"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha is the Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake, who is famous throughout the world..."
"What?! Kakashi-sensei is going to become the Fifth Hokage?!" Almost the instant Koharu Utatane finished speaking, Naruto's eyes widened in astonishment.
Sasuke and Sakura, standing nearby, also stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Their lazy teacher, who was always late and loved juvenile delinquent magazines, was going to become Hokage?!
You must be kidding...
