Chapter 300: There Are Always Those Who Want to Be Kings of a New Era
"What do you mean?" Uchiha Madara was puzzled.
What did it mean that his eyes looked like Gengetsu's?
These eyes were the Rinnegan, and aside from himself, only the legendary Sage of Six Paths was known to have them.
How could they be related to Hagoromo Gengetsu?
Moreover, having heard Reto mention Hagoromo Gengetsu earlier and now hearing Hashirama bring him up again, it was clear that Hagoromo Gengetsu was also present in this world.
Was he, like Madara, in a state similar to the Reanimation? Or was he truly resurrected?
Interesting!
Madara's smile widened.
The stronger the enemy, the more excited he became.
Especially when facing old rivals.
"Hashirama! Let's fight!"
At this moment, with the fire of battle burning fiercely in his heart, Madara stopped thinking about anything else.
He urgently wanted to fight Hashirama again, to release the pent-up energy from so many years in the shadows without a proper battle.
Boom!!!
Without waiting for Senju Hashirama to respond, the fully-formed Susanoo under Madara's command took another step forward, launching a grand attack.
Seeing this, Hashirama, who had intended to ask more questions, clapped his hands together and sprang into action.
Senju versus Uchiha, Wood Release versus Sharingan, Asura versus Indra.
After decades, they clashed once more.
The wind howled, and lightning flashed.
Although it was daytime, the place where Hagoromo Gengetsu arrived was shrouded in an ominous deep red light.
Hagoromo Gengetsu, looking up at the sky-piercing deep red pillar that resembled a spear, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and wanted to sneeze.
"Is someone talking about me?"
Forcing back the sneeze, he turned to glance in the direction of Konoha.
If anyone had been discussing him recently, it would surely be the Reanimated individuals in Konoha.
Paying it no further mind, Gengetsu turned back to examine the source of all the commotion: the deep red pillar greedily absorbing energy.
No need to speculate on what it was.
Beside the pillar stood an old man with a white beard, arms outstretched in excitement, exclaiming fervently:
"Spear of Heaven! This is Spear of Heaven! I've finally got you! It won't be long before the ninja world bows to me, A new era is dawning, and I will be crowned king! Hahaha!"
After years of searching, Dionasu had finally activated Spear of Heaven, harnessing unimaginable destructive power.
As he loudly proclaimed his imminent domination, imagining his future reign, he burst into laughter.
Until a stranger's voice interrupted him from behind.
"Another one daydreaming."
Hagoromo Gengetsu, having approached Spear of Heaven, glanced at Dionasu and remarked indifferently.
The ninja world was rather unlucky.
Always, there were peculiar people gaining strange powers and immediately dreaming of conquest.
Never considering the gap between themselves and the Five Great Ninja Villages.
As if possessing a powerful weapon made them invincible.
Such was Dionasu.
Hearing someone speak behind him, Dionasu was initially startled, then furious at the comment.
"You fool!"
He turned sharply, glaring at the newcomer.
He did not recognize Hagoromo Gengetsu.
Having secluded himself in a remote area for years to find Spear of Heaven, he was unaware of current events.
Though recognizing that Gengetsu might be formidable, with Spear of Heaven in hand, Dionasu believed no ninja could stand against him. He spoke arrogantly:
"Young man, though you've offended me due to your ignorance, I'll give you a chance to live. Apologize sincerely and submit to me, and I'll grant you unmatched glory in the future."
"Otherwise, perish under the might of Spear of Heaven."
As if to validate his threat, crimson lightning struck down.
The nearest bolt landed only about ten meters from Gengetsu.
Turning to see the newly formed crater amidst the smoke, Gengetsu glanced back at Dionasu.
Dionasu, feeling assured, sneered:
"What's your choice now?"
Gengetsu ignored his words, calmly asking:
"You once researched the Reanimation Jutsu with Orochimaru, right?"
Dionasu' face darkened:
"Who are you?"
This was his greatest secret, known only to Orochimaru.
Could Orochimaru have revealed it?
"Good."
Gengetsu still didn't answer Dionasu' question.
He said indifferently, "I have some questions about the Reanimation Jutsu to ask you."
While speaking, Gengetsu began to walk towards Dionasu.
Heart racing, Dionasu instantly activated Spear of Heaven.
"Die!"
Under the crimson lightning, his face twisted in malice.
No matter who this person was, having insulted and exposed him, they had to be eliminated.
Boom!!
The tip of Spear of Heaven emitted a powerful wave.
A thick bolt of crimson lightning, wider than Gengetsu, descended rapidly.
Too fast to react.
Gengetsu seemed engulfed by the lightning before he could move.
Dionasu relaxed and laughed again:
"Arrogant fool! Not even the Five Great Ninja Villages combined could... What? How is this possible?"
Dionasu' face froze mid-laugh.
As the crimson lightning dissipated, he saw Gengetsu unscathed.
At the same time, Gengetsu commented lightly:
"Not bad."
He flashed to Dionasu' side.
"No way!"
Dionasu, panicked, quickly manipulated the control panel of Spear of Heaven.
Spear of Heaven shuddered.
A dense web of crimson lightning enveloped Dionasu, shielding him.
Additionally, bolts of crimson lightning, even thicker than before, descended in a deafening roar, targeting Gengetsu.
At such close range, Dionasu saw the lightning strike Gengetsu, causing no harm as he absorbed it.
Even the protective lightning net around him was absorbed as Gengetsu's hand effortlessly reached through and grabbed his head.
