"Is this even ninjutsu?"
"This... how are we supposed to intervene?" Asuma looked around and finally stared blankly at the intense clash between the Nine-Tails and the Wood Golem ahead.
Kurenai had seen more of the world, having witnessed the battle between Obito Uchiha and Kushina, so her reaction wasn't as exaggerated, though she was also shocked.
"It's hard for us to intervene now, but when their chakra is almost depleted, it will be our turn to provide cover."
Sarutobi Hiruzen recovered from his shock and said with relief, "Kurenai is right. The reanimated body recovers chakra faster than Naruto."
"We need to seize the opportunity to help seal the First Hokage. Dragging it out will be endless trouble."
"But I really didn't expect Kogetsu, Naruto, and Sasuke to be this strong already."
"Konoha not only has worthy successors, but we also don't need to worry about threats from other villages."
"If the other villages don't know what's good for them, hehe... Danzō's ideas would suit them well."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was a dove, it didn't mean he wanted to be one. It was just that Konoha's strength had been too severely damaged in the past, and he couldn't afford to be tough.
The best choice was to endure humiliation. If they fought head-on, Konoha might fall into a great crisis, and the foundation built by their predecessors might be destroyed!
With their current strength, why be a dove? If any village dared to cause trouble, they would destroy that village!
Asuma glanced at his old father in surprise, then nodded in agreement.
On the southern battlefield, the clash between the two Perfect Susanoo was slightly less intense than the one in the middle, but fiercer than the one in the north.
Every collision of weapons and bodies kicked up violent winds, forcing even Kakashi and Guy to shield themselves with their hands.
"Wow... what a blood-boiling, shocking, and amazing battle!"
"Kakashi, your two students have grown too exaggeratedly. They have interpreted the meaning of youth to the fullest!"
"They've left you, their teacher, far behind now."
Before the next wave of wind arrived, Guy danced with excitement, speaking like a machine gun, words popping out rapidly.
"It wasn't just me who taught them. Lord Hokage, their mothers, and their aunts all taught them."
"But seeing them so outstanding, having grown into pillars of Konoha, I, as their teacher, am also very gratified."
Although Kakashi was wearing a mask, his eyes were curved, obviously smiling, his tone happy and relieved.
"That's true."
"Hey... don't you have a Sharingan too? Why can't you use such a cool war god?"
Kakashi said somewhat speechlessly, "I only have one Sharingan. That requires two Sharingan, and most likely Uchiha blood as well."
"Ah, I asked a stupid question." Guy turned sideways, blocking with his hands, a little embarrassed.
Uchiha blood was a hard requirement for Susanoo. If one's mastery was deep enough, they could use it without eyes.
Because the third power, Susanoo, was not in the two Mangekyō Sharingan, but hidden in the body or soul.
Kakashi was able to use it in the original story entirely because Obito gave his remaining Six Paths power to Kakashi.
Six Paths power possessed the ability to turn the rotten into the magical and break conventions, using chakra as a medium without needing Uchiha blood.
"It doesn't matter, Guy. Be ready at all times."
"We absolutely cannot let Sasuke fall into Madara Uchiha's hands," Kakashi said seriously, making a similar blocking motion.
"Don't worry, I'm always ready. Even if I open seven gates at once, my current physique can last for a while."
"Even if I open the Gate of Death, I won't let anything happen to Sasuke. His will for Konoha is greater than mine," Guy looked up with a firm expression.
"No need to be so radical. There's still me. I'll act first."
"Using my power, the power Obito left me, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan," Kakashi said in a deep voice, covering his left eye.
"Alright. Speaking of which, the Uchiha clan is truly a powerful and strange ninja clan."
"Two Uchiha are harmful to Konoha, and two Uchiha are using their power to protect Konoha."
"Ah, powerful and strange indeed."
"Here it comes again. This one is fierce. Retreat quickly."
...
West of Konoha, in the middle battlefield of the three.
The two sides were still locked in combat, the earth still trembling. The collision of two behemoths and four Tailed Beasts had forcibly created a large and deep pit.
If left untreated, this place would become a sizeable lake by some afternoon.
During the grapple, the Hamura stone statue had been damaged and shattered countless times, but it was continuously restored by the power of the Tenseigan.
As time passed, Obito Uchiha lost his patience. Now he was both annoyed and helpless!
Sensing that his chakra was running low, Obito Uchiha wanted to leave. He had the Demonic Statue and the four Tailed Beasts work together to knock the Hamura stone statue to the ground, then retreated and stopped attacking.
"Masked Man, I told you, you can't outlast me."
As the Hamura stone statue stood up, Kageyama Kogetsu flashed to the top of its head, smiling.
Obito Uchiha said indignantly, "Hmph, you're ruthless, but don't celebrate too early."
"When I'm ready, the next battle will be to the death!"
"Don't think you have victory in the bag. There are only two Tailed Beasts in the Demonic Statue."
"Last time, Nagato and I couldn't exert the full power of the Demonic Statue with seven Tailed Beasts either."
"When all eight Tailed Beasts are in place, and Madara Uchiha and I control it together, your doomsday will come!"
Kageyama Kogetsu put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly. "I'm not afraid. Perhaps my strength alone is not enough to defeat you, but with everyone's strength combined, you may not win."
"Hmph, we'll see about that."
Having suffered a fourth setback, Obito Uchiha left his final harsh words and merged into the space-time vortex along with the white smoke of the disappearing Demonic Statue and the four Jinchūriki Pain...
Poof!
The Hamura stone statue disappeared into a large cloud of white smoke. Kageyama Kogetsu's figure vanished and instantly appeared in the purple crystal control room on the forehead of Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo.
Opposite them, Obito Uchiha had already appeared on the shoulder of Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo.
"Father." Sasuke smiled.
"Well done. As expected of my son!" Kageyama Kogetsu smiled and praised him unstintingly.
A godson was also a son. There was nothing wrong with him saying that.
Sasuke didn't say much, but the smile on his face became even richer and brighter.
Opposite them, Obito Uchiha persuaded Madara Uchiha to retreat.
"Today has been an eye-opener. To meet three such outstanding juniors at once."
"It won't be easy to leave, so as a senior, I've prepared a gift for you!"
As he spoke, Madara Uchiha formed hand seals, and the four arms of his Perfect Susanoo also formed hand seals simultaneously. Then, the Perfect Susanoo spread its wings and flapped vigorously, flying straight up into the sky...
As the two left, on the northern battlefield, Hashirama Senju was put into a coffin, which vanished into thin air. The Wood Golem crumbled into wood chips on the spot.
"Don't chase," Kageyama Kogetsu said, putting a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Why?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Look behind you."
Sasuke controlled the Susanoo to turn around. Seeing the meteorite falling from the sky, his expression changed.
"Father, this is troublesome," Sasuke said with a slight frown.
At the same time, Naruto and the others, noticing the sky darkening rapidly, also looked up, their expressions changing one after another.
Shattering the meteorite wasn't hard. The hard part was preventing the debris from falling into the village, which would cause a lot of property damage.
"Just a small matter. Dispel the Susanoo. Your father will handle it," Kageyama Kogetsu said calmly.
"Yes, Father!" Sasuke looked excited.
Sasuke had a near-blind trust in his godfather, Kageyama Kogetsu.
Because since acknowledging the relationship, in Sasuke's memory, nothing had ever stumped his father, Kageyama Kogetsu.
The purple Susanoo dissipated, and Kageyama Kogetsu flew directly into the air. Even though he was only using repulsive force to fly, his speed wasn't slow.
Seeing the figure in the sky, Naruto and the others relaxed...
