Chapter 156: Uchiha Akira's Divine Power
Uchiha Akira walked towards Jiraiya, who was lying on the ground. "Kamui: Time Reversal!"
Uchiha Akira unleashed his right eye's unique ninjutsu. An indescribable mysterious power enveloped Jiraiya's body. Jiraiya's body trembled. He didn't feel any healing green light. Time seemed to flow backward on his body. The intense pain wasn't fading; it vanished into thin air as if it had never existed.
Jiraiya could clearly perceive that the broken bones in his body instantly returned to their original state in a way that defied logic. All his injuries were restored in an instant.
Jiraiya suddenly leaped up from the ground and subconsciously moved his body. There was no discomfort whatsoever. His condition had never been better.
Jiraiya looked at his hands in disbelief and then touched his chest. Perfectly intact.
"This… this is…" Jiraiya's face was filled with shock. This ninjutsu was definitely not medical ninjutsu! Tsunade's Creation Rebirth could absolutely not achieve this level! This feeling was simply too miraculous.
"It's the pupil technique of my right eye! It can forcibly revert everything within a specified range to its previous state."
Jiraiya stared blankly at Uchiha Akira, his brain completely frozen. Revert… time? This was beyond the scope of ninjutsu, wasn't it? This should be a power only gods could possess.
"Susanoo, and the pupil technique of my right eye, are only a partial manifestation of my power. You haven't seen the true power of the Rinnegan yet."
Jiraiya's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty. The power of the Mangekyō? The Susanoo, 500 meters tall, capable of splitting the earth. The mysterious pupil technique, capable of reversing time and instantly healing severe injuries. These were merely a part? Then what kind of terrifying existence must the true Rinnegan be?
Uchiha Akira raised his head, looking towards the distant sky. "Let me show you."
The moment his words fell, the Rinnegan in Uchiha Akira's eyes erupted with powerful pupil power, and the chakra in his body surged out frantically. Immediately after, the atmospheric pressure above the plain began to plummet at a terrifying speed.
Jiraiya suddenly looked up. The sky, at some unknown point, had become completely dim. It wasn't dark clouds obscuring the sun. A shadow so massive it couldn't be measured by sight was slowly pressing down from the sky. Initially, it was just a blurry black dot. But in just the blink of an eye, that black dot began to expand wildly. A colossal meteor, its surface burning with dark red flames, tore through the clouds, descending with world-destroying might towards the earth.
Chibaku Tensei!
Jiraiya's pupils dilated. His mind went blank; facing such a terrifying ninjutsu, there was no room for resistance. That was a real meteor.
"This… this…" This was simply divine punishment!
Boom—!!!
An indescribable roar erupted the moment the meteor touched the horizon. The terrifying shockwave transformed into a visible white blast, sweeping in all directions. The earth violently undulated, and deep, bottomless rift valleys spread wildly in every direction. The entire world trembled.
Jiraiya was thrown by the pure physical impact, tumbling over a dozen times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground. Jiraiya stared blankly at everything before him. The original plain had completely vanished. In its place was a giant basin, over tens of kilometers in diameter and bottomless. The sky was enveloped by dust, sunlight unable to penetrate, and the world was plunged into a dim, apocalyptic scene.
Jiraiya finally understood what kind of existence he was facing. Unifying the Ninja World? For someone with this kind of power, that wasn't an ambition at all, but a fact that was bound to happen. Let alone the 5 Great Ninja Villages, even if all the ninja in the entire Ninja World were gathered, they would not be a match for Uchiha Akira.
"I… I understand…" "You… indeed possess the power to unify this world." "And, no one can stop you."
Uchiha Akira slowly descended, standing in front of Jiraiya. "Amenominaka!" The next instant, space violently warped.
Jiraiya only felt a blur before his eyes, and the 2 of them were already back in the Hokage Office.
…
Uchiha Akira leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced. "Alright, let's set aside the grand narrative of world peace for now. Let's address some more practical issues first." Akira spoke faintly towards the shadows in the Hokage Office.
"Go, bring Uzumaki Naruto."
"Yes, Akira."
An Anbu wearing an Uchiha fan mask knelt on one knee, then departed.
Not long after. "Teacher! You called for me!" A vibrant voice broke the dullness of the Hokage Office.
Naruto rushed in excitedly, a brilliant smile on his face. When Naruto saw another person in the Hokage Office, his steps paused. Naruto curiously observed Jiraiya. Long white hair, messily tied behind his head. A forehead protector with the character "Oil" written on it. A strange outfit, and wooden clogs on his feet.
Naruto scratched his head and quietly asked, "Teacher, who is this old man? He's looking at me so strangely."
Jiraiya's body stiffened suddenly. Old… old man? He was still very young, alright! How did he become an old man?
Uchiha Akira smiled. He stood up, walked to Naruto's side, and patted his shoulder. "Naruto. Let me introduce you. This is Jiraiya. One of the Sannin, the Toad Sage. And also your father, Minato Namikaze's teacher."
Naruto's eyes instantly widened. The Sannin? And his own dad's teacher?
Naruto looked at Jiraiya again, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything impressive about this old man. Instead… He felt a bit sloppy, a bit unkempt.
"This guy… is he really the legendary Sannin?" "No matter how I look at it, he seems like a jobless old man who spends all his time drinking and carousing outside… Is he reliable?"
Naruto's face was openly filled with doubt.
Jiraiya's face turned beet red. He wanted to explain, wanted to put on a dignified air of a senior master. But when he thought about how he had neglected Naruto all these years, he couldn't utter a single word. In the end, it could only turn into a long, remorseful sigh.
"I'm sorry, Naruto."
Uchiha Akira ignored Jiraiya's internal struggle. Akira extended his hands, placing them on Naruto's and Jiraiya's shoulders respectively. "Hold on tight."
Before his words finished, the 3 figures instantly vanished without a trace from the Hokage Office.
