Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: The Inescapable Illusion

Someone familiar?

Yes.

From the beginning, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if someone familiar had appeared.

The Fourth Great Ninja War had already begun.

He had to protect Naruto. As the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Naruto couldn't fall into anyone else's hands.

Only the Nine-Tails inside Naruto knew who had just appeared.

That familiar feeling...

Was it the Fourth Hokage?

But why couldn't he sense the other half of his chakra?

The other half of his chakra had been sealed by the Fourth Hokage back then.

Now that the Fourth Hokage's chakra had appeared, if the other half was still inside him, it wouldn't be possible not to sense it.

In fact, after the Fourth Hokage was revived, Obito and the others had already extracted the other half of the Nine-Tails from him.

Now, with the Gedo Statue almost fully revived, only the Eight-Tails and One-Tail remained.

...

"Is that Hinata?"

"She's completely different now!"

"Lord Hiashi, it seems Miss Hinata has grown into an excellent ninja!"

The members of the Hyuga clan looked at Hinata with excitement.

She had faced two Hokages alone and even sent them back to the Pure Land.

Could Hinata's strength have surpassed that of the previous Hokages?

With both Hinata and Ryujiro, wouldn't the Hyuga clan become the most powerful family in Konoha?

Wouldn't all other clans in Konoha have to follow them?

Hiashi didn't know what these people's thoughts were.

Ryujiro and Hinata would inevitably bring changes to the Hyuga clan.

This feeling of power was growing in the hearts of some members of the Hyuga clan.

The revival of the previous Hokages was actually Obito's idea to stall Ryujiro and not interfere with their plans.

In their eyes, Ryujiro was their biggest obstacle, and the war in the ninja world had become more chaotic due to Obito's involvement.

Now, the situation in other villages wasn't good either.

At least, besides Konoha, the other villages' leaders had also been resurrected.

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Countless massive trees burst from the ground, slamming against the earth like giant octopus tentacles.

At the same time, a huge flower bud grew in the center.

"Be careful, the pollen is poisonous," Hashirama shouted to warn everyone.

Poison?

Ryujiro didn't pay much attention to it.

His body was no longer that of a mortal, and a little poison wouldn't affect him.

There was almost nothing in this world that could harm him.

Hinata smoothly entered the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and her immense chakra shocked even Hashirama.

"That girl's chakra is as strong as mine!"

"What kind of power is that? Sage Mode?"

"No! There's no senjutsu chakra on her!"

The Konoha ninjas were deeply shaken by Hinata's Tenseigan form, feeling numb.

They watched from afar as the Wood Release technique covered the entire Hokage Rock, unable to say anything, especially feeling the overwhelming pressure of Hinata's chakra.

Hiashi once again realized the terror of the Tenseigan.

As his eldest daughter, Hinata hadn't disappointed him.

"First Hokage, it's time to end this."

Ryujiro said, standing beside Hinata, and the distant Konoha ninjas felt a deep sense of reassurance from the sight of their silhouettes.

"Yes, it should end now."

"Tobirama, it seems we're old now. It's the young people's era; we shouldn't trouble them."

Hashirama smiled faintly.

"Tobirama, it seems we're already old. It's the era of the young now. We, from the old era, should not cause any more trouble for them," Hashirama said with a faint smile.

Tobirama remained silent.

Konoha's development had surpassed his expectations, and these two had already surpassed him and his brother.

With these two around, he believed Konoha wouldn't have any problems in this war.

"Kyoka Suigetsu."

As Ryujiro spoke, Hashirama and Tobirama furrowed their brows, feeling like something had changed.

But it also felt like nothing had changed.

Ryujiro's actions certainly had some meaning.

"You're now in the world I control."

Ryujiro's gaze was cold as he looked at Hashirama and Tobirama.

What did that mean?

The fight was still ongoing; they were still battling Ryujiro and Hinata within their field of vision.

However, to the outside world, it looked like the First and Second Hokage were fighting the air.

"What are the First and Second Hokage doing?"

"Hinata and Ryujiro are right in front of them, but they're attacking in another direction."

Tsunade frowned, watching her grandfather's strange behavior.

"Are they hypnotized?"

Hypnotized?

Kakashi and the other Jonins were shocked, staring at Ryujiro.

Even the First and Second Hokage hadn't noticed they were hypnotized?

How terrifying.

What were the conditions for Ryujiro's Genjutsu?

Ryujiro looked at the completely entranced Hashirama and Tobirama and said calmly.

"Hinata, go ahead."

It seemed that even Hashirama and Tobirama couldn't escape Kyoka Suigetsu's Shikai.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Truth-Seeking Balls pierced through the chests of the two former Hokages, causing irreversible damage to their bodies.

When Ryujiro released Kyoka Suigetsu, Hashirama and Tobirama were bewildered.

Hadn't they just been fighting intensely?

How could it suddenly...

"That was... Genjutsu?"

Even if Hashirama couldn't escape the Genjutsu, he sensed something was wrong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt that something was off.

"Yes, it was Genjutsu."

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, Konoha will unify the entire shinobi world. Please return to the Pure Land now."

Ryujiro spoke slowly.

Hashirama and Tobirama's eyes widened, and just as they were about to ask something, their bodies crumbled.

Their souls returned to the Pure Land.

Tsunade and the others watched the scene before them in a daze.

Was the fight over just like that?

Were the former Hokages defeated by Ryujiro and Hinata so quickly?

It felt too fast, didn't it?

They felt a sense of loss as if they hadn't been of any help from the start.

Now, it seemed that as long as Ryujiro and Hinata were there, they could handle everything in Konoha, including the war. 

The two of them were equivalent to an entire ninja village.
