Chapter 231: Third Tsuchikage

"What... what is that?!"

Witnessing their companions falling unconscious without any warning, a group of shinobi stared in shock at the pale-haired youth not far away, who was howling at the sky, emitting an invisible Haki all over his body. Several trembling Iwagakure ninjas were completely petrified.

"Even the rare Conqueror has awakened..."

"It seems you finally understand the feeling of loss..."

Feeling the endless surge of invisible Haki emanating from Yu's body, the voice of the Devil within began to awaken once again, "I was right about you after all, you indeed possess the qualifications of a king..."

However, Yu paid no heed to the Devil's words, the overwhelming invisible Haki shaking his body showed no sign of stopping, continuing to spread relentlessly.

In the blink of an eye, even the nearby formidable Chunin of Iwagakure were all stunned by Yu's spreading invisible Haki.

Not only that, this majestic and unparalleled momentum actually began to stir up the gloomy rain clouds in the sky, countless lightning flashes gradually forming between the clouds, brewing an immensely oppressive and gloomy natural phenomenon.

"This... What is this?!"

Feeling the continuous eruption of invisible Haki from Yu's body at this moment, sweeping vast like the majestic ancient universe, even Chunin-level ninjas began to gradually be affected.

Devil looked somewhat incredulously at the celestial phenomenon above the sky, the enchanting and stunning face finally showing a change in expression, "Your Conqueror's Haki actually affects the celestial phenomena of this world?!"

What kind of qualification is this...

Never heard of anyone whose Conqueror's Haki could influence celestial phenomena...

Devil's enchanting and beautiful face was full of shock. Originally, she thought she had a high understanding of Yu's qualifications, but she did not expect that the true potential erupted by this young man still exceeded her expectations.

Conqueror's Haki - this is the Haki of the chosen one among millions, the qualification of a king who stands above the masses.

Different from the Color of Arms and Observation, even if Conqueror's Haki can be controlled freely, it cannot be strengthened through training. It can only be strengthened by the personal growth of the user.

This is an innate spirit, unable to be acquired through postnatal refinement, but determined by fate. Regardless of which world one looks at, those who can possess this kind of Haki are few and far between.

After a long time, Yu's shockingly loud howls finally gradually subsided, and the boundless Conqueror's Haki erupting from his body gradually dissipated, and he himself began to calm down.

"No, there must be a chance to redeem this..."

"The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique Jutsu, One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu, and even the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, there are many ways in this world to bring someone back to life..."

Finally calming down, Yu slowly lifted Nono's body from the ground, his eyes flashing with both pain and determination.

"First, preserve Nono's body. I won't let her die so easily like this."

"Ice Coffin!!"

With this thought in mind, Yu summoned Toshogun from Kaio's alternate space.

With Toshogun's palm as the center, the moisture in the surrounding air instantly condensed to a high degree, and in the blink of an eye, Nono's body was frozen within a huge transparent ice coffin!

This technique, Ice Coffin, instantly condenses the moisture in the surrounding air to a high density, as hard as diamonds, capable of perfectly preserving the body for eternity, or completely freezing opponents inside.

"You've worked hard for everyone for so long, just rest peacefully for now..."

"When you wake up, I promise this world will have become what you've always wanted it to be..."

After preserving Nono's body in the frozen state, silently watching the huge transparent ice coffin sink into Kaio's alternate space, Yu seemed to make a solemn vow to himself in his heart.

"Yu... you..."

Watching Yu slowly approach him after putting away Nono's body, Kabuto sat somewhat dazed on the ground, evidently still not recovered from the terrifying impact of Yu's Conqueror's Haki just now.

"Disappear from my sight immediately..."

"Before I change my mind."

Looking down on Kabuto, who seemed as if he had lost his soul, sitting slumped on the ground, Yu's tone was flat, devoid of any emotion, only the occasional flicker of darkness in his eyes enough to reflect his current mood.

If it weren't for Nono's final request before her death, Yu believed he would have surely twisted Kabuto's head off by now. Although the true culprit behind everything was Danzo, who orchestrated it all, both Orochimaru and Kabuto were pawns and tools used by him.

However, Yu couldn't forgive Orochimaru, who intercepted him midway, and Kabuto, who killed Nono with his own hands. Without these two, Yu believed today's outcome would have been different.

"I'm... I'm sorry..."

Seeing Yu agree to spare him as per Nono's dying wish, Kabuto, in a daze, finally crawled up from the ground and staggered away. Until now, he still didn't understand why the dean didn't recognize him at first.

No parents, no name, no country; Kabuto has been an orphan from the beginning, without even a name of his own. If it weren't for Nono giving him these glasses and this name, Kabuto wouldn't even be able to find his own purpose for existence.

But from this moment on, Kabuto lost his sense of purpose again. From this moment on, he was determined to find his true self.

"Without my permission! Neither of you can leave here!!"

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A deep and majestic voice suddenly rang out, causing Kabuto, who was about to leave, to stop in his tracks.

"This... this is... Oh no!!"

"So many ninjas... we're surrounded!!"

In Kabuto's astonished gaze, the darkness around them was suddenly illuminated. Hundreds of ninjas had silently approached, holding up torches and weapons, surrounding him and Yu.

They wore the forehead protectors of the Hidden Rock Village, dressed uniformly in sleeveless red Ninja uniforms, unmistakably Iwagakure shinobi who had hurriedly come from the Hidden Rock Village several kilometers away. Among the crowd, an old man even floated in mid-air with both feet off the ground!

"Third Tsuchikage..."

"Is that Onoki of Both Scales..."

Ignoring the hundreds of Iwagakure shinobi surrounding him, Yu recognized the identity of the old man floating in mid-air with a single glance. Although his dead eyes remained silent, a ripple finally appeared within them.

Wearing an old-fashioned Ninja outfit, with a Tsuchikage hat disproportionately large for his size, along with his red nose, his appearance might seem somewhat comical and amusing. However, when one thought of the terrifying power and reputation this old man possessed, no one present could muster a laugh.
