Chapter 278 The Disheartened Hiruzen Sarutobi

Chapter 278 The Disheartened Hiruzen Sarutobi

There is a consensus in the ninja world that when a ninja fuses two chakra natures, he will gain the power of a bloodline limit.

Meanwhile, in Iwagakure, the village of the Land of Earth, the Second Iwakage ingeniously fused two bloodline limits.

The power of the fusion of two bloodline limits resulted in the unique bloodline elimination technique in the ninja world: Dust Release!

The power of Dust Release is undeniably strong. Its ability to annihilate everything already surpasses the vast majority of bloodline limits, excluding those like the Sharingan and Byakugan.

For Uchiha Izumi, the only way he could have obtained Dust Release was probably if the Third Iwakage, Onoki of the Two Scales, committed evil deeds and he had to carry them out in a righteous manner before he could obtain the power of Dust Release.

However, as Uchiha Izumi began to explore the power of all things in the universe, he successfully obtained the Dust Release, a bloodline limit, simply by attempting to fuse the three chakra natures!

"Does it consume more chakra than Lava Release?"

Uchiha Izumi looked at the radiant light at her fingertips and felt the chakra being depleted within her body, then spoke thoughtfully.

He remembered that during the Five Kage's battle against Madara Uchiha, even though the power of Dust Release was extremely strong, Onoki of the Two Scales only used Dust Release to sweep away Wood Release from beginning to end.

Now, feeling the chakra drain from Dust Release, Uchiha Izumi probably understands the situation with Onoki of the Two Scales.

However, while I can understand, Uchiha Ikezumi has never been someone who lacks chakra!

In particular, the existence of the Water Pact allows Uchiha Izumi to continuously unleash Dust Release like a perpetual motion machine!

"It's not just Dust Release that's subject to bloodline elimination; if I continue experimenting, it seems I could obtain other bloodline elimination methods?"

Uchiha Izumi also became interested. There are seven types of chakra nature, and the bloodline limit obtained by mixing two types of chakra in different proportions is also different. This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi does not have his own bloodline limit.

Each bloodline limit has gone through countless generations of exploration by a bloodline limit family to finally find the right chakra ratio.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi possesses five chakra natures, he clearly lacks the chakra nature ratio of a bloodline limit.

However, under the influence of the power of the myriad phenomena, Uchiha Ikezumi could instinctively sense how much chakra ratio would maximize the probability of giving birth to a bloodline limit, or even the power to assist Uchiha Ikezumi in creating the bloodline limit elimination!

That night, strange noises could be heard from time to time coming from Uchiha Ikezumi's house. It was Uchiha Ikezumi experimenting with the power of the myriad phenomena of the universe.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, the night was not peaceful either.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to the Hokage Building, he looked at the empty office and a feeling of indescribable loneliness suddenly welled up in his heart.

Since his daughter-in-law colluded with the Hidden Cloud Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi has not returned to the Sarutobi clan's territory for a long time.

Before, when Uchiha Izumi left Konoha, Utatane Koharu was still able to get out and about, but now, even Utatane Koharu has been killed by the escaped Hyuga Hiashi.

"Uchiha Kagami, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"Without realizing it, it's just Mito and me left?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was shrouded in the smoke he exhaled, his gaze deep and somewhat melancholy.

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that he seemed to have forgotten what Kagami Uchiha looked like, and even Danzo Shimura's appearance was becoming somewhat blurry. On the contrary, his arm left a deep impression.

As for Koharu, he had seen her not long ago, so he wouldn't forget her so quickly.

"It seems I've really failed as Hokage—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. After truly witnessing Izumi Uchiha's strength, Hiruzen Sarutobi helplessly realized that no matter how much he wanted to deal with Izumi Uchiha, he was no longer his match.

"Perhaps it's time to hand over the Hokage position to Tsunade!"

"Let Tsunade worry about the Tenseigan, and let Tsunade worry about Uchiha Izumi too. As for me, it's time to step down!"

""

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He had already considered stepping down as Hokage, but Koharu Utatane was even more unwilling than him. Now that Koharu Utatane was dead, it seemed that there was no need for him to continue serving as Hokage.

The deep moonlight enveloped Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure, as well as the figures of the other people in Konoha.

"Jiraiya, can't we really let that kid Neji entrust his Tenseigan to our Mount Myōboku for safekeeping?"

"What you saw today is not the full power of the Tenseigan. The Great Sage once said that the Tenseigan harbors an exceptionally powerful force, and if that force were to erupt, the entire ninja world would shatter!"

Fukasaku looked at Jiraiya beside him and asked one more question, still unwilling to give up.

In Fukasaku's opinion, Uchiha Ikezumi's decision to give the Tenseigan to Hyuga Neji was the stupidest decision imaginable.

However, it was also fortunate that Uchiha Ikezumi had given the Tenseigan to Hyuga Neji. Otherwise, if Uchiha Ikezumi had been in control of the Tenseigan, Mount Myōboku would have been better off hiding its own prophets instead of searching for the Child of Prophecy.

"If I dared to tell the old man about this, I'm afraid he'd immediately label me a traitorous ninja!"

"Even without mentioning the technique in the Tenseigan that can destroy the ninja world, the power of the Tenseigan itself is already terrifying. It is also a product of the Hyuga clan and a trump card of Konoha. Its importance is probably no less than that of the Nine-Tails."

"How can I possibly open my mouth?"

Jiraiya smiled bitterly. He believed that Mount Myōboku was real, but he was ultimately not a lackey of Mount Myōboku.

Why was the Tenseigan entrusted to Mount Myōboku for safekeeping? In the end, wasn't it because the power of the Tenseigan was too strong, so strong that Mount Myōboku began to feel afraid and wanted to take the Tenseigan back and hide it away?

At this moment, Jiraiya began to unconsciously wonder if the search for the prophesied child at Mount Myōboku was truly only for the sake of peace in the ninja world.

In the end, Naruto didn't bring about much change to the ninja world. It was just that the major ninja villages were wary of Naruto and Sasuke's power and didn't dare to launch a ninja world war.

As for Naruto's role being to fight against the Otsutsuki clan from outer space—

Isn't Boruto the one who fights against the Otsutsuki clan?

Could it be that the prophecy of Mount Myōboku bringing peace to the ninja world actually resulted in Naruto giving birth to Boruto?

At this moment, the two toad sages, Fukasaku and Shima, had not yet noticed that Jiraiya had begun to have some doubts about Mount Myōboku. They were just frowning and still thinking about how to bring the Tenseigan back to Mount Myōboku.
