Night Falls, Disappear Quietly

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

Back then, Tobirama, out of some selfish motives, did not dispose of Madara's body. Instead, he took advantage of Hashirama's unconsciousness and moved it to a secret chamber in the deep mountains.

But when he finished fighting Shin'yu and dragged his exhausted body to the secret chamber, he discovered that Madara's body was just a Shadow Clone!

Therefore, he portrayed Uchiha Madara as a destroyer who hated the world and wreaked havoc everywhere, and spread the word to the Five Lakes and Four Seas.

This also led to the Five Great Nations being on high alert, constantly worried that Uchiha Madara's Scythe would fall on their heads one day.

But six years passed, and the so-called Uchiha Madara not only did not appear, but disappeared without a trace, which made everyone doubt the truth of Tobirama's words.

"Clap, clap."

At this moment, Hashirama clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"A banquet should look like a banquet, let's not talk about these things." He smiled and asked seemingly casually, "Where's Sasuke? And Fire Core? The banquet has already started, why haven't the heads of these two major Clan Territories arrived yet?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang came from outside the Hokage Building!

A dazzling light flashed by, and the storm swept away with heat, causing the entire building's glass to shake violently!

Hashirama stood up instantly, turned his head to look out the window, his eyes sharp.

That direction... was the Sarutobi Clan Territory!

...

10 minutes ago.

Outside the Sarutobi Clan Territory, Sarutobi Sasuke, who had finished a day of patrol duty, stretched his back. After instructing his clansmen, he rubbed his sore shoulders and walked towards the Hokage Building.

"You look a little tired, Clan Head Sasuke."

Sasuke looked back and saw Uchiha Fire Core slowly walking up from behind, with a friendly smile on his lips.

"I'm getting old, there's nothing I can do. This era will always be handed over to you young people." Sasuke responded with a smile.

Fire Core walked side by side with him, "Why haven't I seen Hiruzen recently?"

"Oh, he went to Enma's Clan Territory, and is preparing to conclude a Summoning Contract."

"Kagami said that although everyone is a disciple of Lord Tobirama, their relationship has never been harmonious?"

"Oh?" Sasuke chuckled, "Is Clan Head Fire Core here to settle accounts with this old man?"

Fire Core waved his hands repeatedly, "How could I? I'm just confirming what their relationship is like. Hearing you say that, it seems like it's really not good."

"Since when have you been so concerned about Uchiha Kagami?" Sasuke didn't take it seriously. When talking to Uchiha, it's best to be cautious.

"Pfft."

A light cyan blade pierced through his chest. Sasuke was stunned and looked at Uchiha Fire Core in disbelief.

"I've always been very concerned about him..."

With a "bang," Sarutobi Sasuke turned into a log.

Fire Core calmly shook his hand and tilted his head slightly, "When did you find out?"

"You noticed it from the start, Uchiha Fire Core never usually talks to me!"

"Oh dear, you're so clever. None of the idiots in the clan realized their leader had been replaced."

Sasuke emerged from behind the wall, forming hand seals and immediately pressing himself against the wall, clearly not intending to waste words with him.

"Summoning Technique! Appear, Monkey King Enma!"

In a cloud of billowing white smoke, a massive ape leaped out, its fists slamming heavily into the ground.

"Not even going to reminisce with me? How heartless." Fire Core shook his head in mock regret, his figure swaying as he easily dodged Enma's attack.

"I have nothing to say to you!" Sasuke gestured, and Enma swung around, transforming into the Adamantine Staff in his hand. He said fiercely, "Uchiha Shin'yu!"

"I've been found out? Heh, then there's no helping it." Uchiha Fire Core, or rather Uchiha Shin'yu, opened his blood-red, bright eyes. "Then I'll just have to... finish you in twenty seconds!"

Sasuke gathered power, raising the massive Adamantine Staff high into the sky. Like a meteorite from beyond, it crashed down!

However, Shin'yu didn't dodge or evade, instantly completing the hand seals. "Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

Firelight flashed, and four lifelike dragon heads lit up the night, carrying scorching heat as they headed straight for the Sarutobi Clan Territory!

"You!" Sasuke's eyes widened. If he brought his staff down, the Fire Core in front of him would die, but the clan territory would inevitably be destroyed by the fire dragons, causing widespread death and injury.

This fighting style was truly shameless to the extreme!

At this critical moment, he had no choice but to retract his staff and return to defend, manipulating the Adamantine Staff to scatter the dragon heads one by one.

"Chi chi chi!"

Three streaks of azure sword energy tore through the air. Sasuke sensed them in advance, raising his staff to block, and countless sparks flew from the Adamantine Staff.

However, a shadow flickered behind him, and a figure silently solidified. "Autumn Dew on Leaves" was like a jade-green longsword, its blade as thin as a strand of hair, slashing viciously at his neck.

"Enma's Hand!"

In this moment of crisis, a large, furry hand stretched out from the Adamantine Staff, grabbing the blade of light.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" A cry of pain came from the staff, and Enma's Hand quickly retracted.

Shin'yu missed his strike and immediately jumped back, causing a gust of wind to ripple across the ground. While in the air, he formed hand seals with both hands.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

He took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and exhaled. A massive sea of fire gathered, forming what looked like a meteor falling from the sky. The air was instantly heated to thousands of degrees, and Sarutobi Sasuke's clothes began to burn before the flames even got close!

Fortunately, the earlier "Enma's Hand" had bought Sasuke time to react. He stood with his staff, the Adamantine Staff spinning rapidly, creating a strong gale. Before the sea of fire could spread, he absorbed all the flames.

"Chi chi chi—"

Sasuke's face was tense, and he gritted his teeth. Even though his skin was burned by the flames, he didn't stop. As the Adamantine Staff spun faster and faster, a strong wind rose in front of him, and even Shin'yu in mid-air was bound by the suction, rapidly approaching the Adamantine Staff.

"Adamantine Prison Wall!"

Sasuke threw the Adamantine Staff out, and dozens of staffs flew out from the scattered white smoke, piecing together a cage in the air, trapping Shin'yu inside.

"Die!" Sasuke formed the hand seal for Fire Release, about to spew it out, but Shin'yu inside the cage suddenly turned into half a log.

"What??"

His feet were swept by a tremendous force. Shin'yu appeared behind him at some point, and an unexpected sweeping leg sent Sasuke's body uncontrollably flying through the air.

"Rasengan!"

A buzzing sound instantly arose. Shin'yu's lips curled up, and a blue stream of light gathered in his palm, forming a high-density, self-rotating Chakra ball, which he slammed into Sasuke's back!

The massive spiral force burst through his body, and with a strong sense of being pushed forward, Sasuke transformed into a straight line and flew out!

"It's not over yet! I can still fight to the death!"

He demonstrated the qualities of a battle-hardened Ninja. Just before the Rasengan hit, he activated Yang Release Chakra to protect his back. Although his internal organs were still damaged, it wasn't fatal!

He gathered strength in mid-air, and the Chakra in his body flowed rapidly, surging towards a certain acupoint.

"Eight Gates—"

A dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and the sound of an explosion rang in his ears. Shin'yu appeared strangely in front of Sasuke, exhaling and raising his hand, a fierce sword finger striking directly at his chest!

"Useless!" Shin'yu's smile remained unchanged. "I knew you'd use that move."

Sasuke's eyes widened in horror, and the Chakra that had just surged up in his body instantly dissipated.

"Six years ago, you could break my arm, but today, you don't even have the right to see my true form." Shin'yu said softly, "Night is falling, disappear quietly."

A green light burst out, and "Autumn Dew on Leaves" pierced out from his fingertip. The dazzling green light was like a sword, directly piercing through Sasuke's body, and even the building behind him was shattered.

"Ah, I sprained my foot. Using someone else's body to unleash the Body Flicker Technique is really not something I'm used to."

Shin'yu formed a simple hand seal. Directly opposite the Sarutobi Clan Territory, hundreds of Exploding Tags buried in the Hidden Leaf Academy instantly ignited, followed by a violent explosion!

The teaching building turned into ruins in the explosion, thick smoke billowed, buildings collapsed in pieces, and the ground shook violently.

Although it didn't cause any casualties, Shin'yu felt a sense of relief watching Tobirama's hard work collapse.

About half a minute later, Shin'yu smiled and turned his head, and countless figures appeared in his vision.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, the Kage of the Four Great Shinobi Villages, countless Anbu wearing animal face masks...

This scene was so similar to the one 11 years ago... except that this time, there was no Lord Madara to save the day.
