The Five Dragons Bullet was an extremely special technique—it wasn't originally an S-ranked jutsu but instead a combination of five A-ranked Five Dragons Bullet techniques. Ye Liang quite enjoyed using this move.
Still, against a Kage-level expert, it could only serve as an appetizer, not a decisive finishing blow.
"Get ready, Danzo!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly charged toward Danzo. He ceased channeling chakra into the Five Dragons Bullet and instead released its full force at once, as though deciding to discard the technique entirely.
"The Five Dragons Bullet is just a distraction! Hiruzen still has more tricks up his sleeve," Ye Liang whispered while dangling from the waist strap. He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen well—a true tactical genius when it came to laying traps.
If he was using an S-ranked technique just to buy time, then whatever ultimate move followed was sure to be even more shocking.
Chen Baojun hadn't moved. After launching the Five Dragons Bullet, he simply stood firm in place, as if waiting for something.
"That old guy's being way too reckless. If this keeps up, something bad might happen!" Ye Liang gave up on watching Chen Baojun and bit open the waist strap holding him, relying on the swinging momentum to glide over toward the wooden hut.
"Hinata, give me a hand!" Ye Liang whispered urgently.
Previously knocked aside by Danzo, Hinata had been waiting near the hut, already completely unable to involve herself in such a battle.
Her hearing missed his whisper entirely.
"Darn it!"
Ye Liang dared not shout out loud, so he could only nibble forward inch by inch, though painfully slow.
Chen Baojun didn't notice Ye Liang escaping. His attention remained fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, because the latter's actions were making him uneasy too.
"Danzo is preparing to act!"
With a loud shout, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately created several Shadow Clones!
Shimura Danzo seemed to anticipate exactly what he'd do, directly transferring his chakra behind Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"What is he doing? Actually transferring chakra!"
Chen Baojun gasped in shock, and Ye Liang stiffened even more!
"What the hell! This is bad. Something big is happening!" Just as Danzo began channeling his chakra, Ye Liang's system dashboard suddenly flickered!
[SSS-Rank Mission!]
[Final Battle with the Hokage!]
"What the hell!" Ye Liang cursed under his breath.
His main quests always tied directly into the storyline—the higher the rank, the greater the reward, but also the danger increased accordingly.
The last time Ye Liang had received an SSS-ranked main quest was when he first encountered Orochimaru after arriving in this world.
Later, when he grew stronger, most were S-rank missions.
"This is a triple S mission! Could I actually die here?"
A sense of crisis crept over Ye Liang.
Without knowing exactly what technique Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning, Ye Liang hurriedly made his way toward Hinata!
"Hinata, quickly pull me back inside the house!"
He raised his voice this time.
Forget about drawing attention now!
Survival came first!
"Ye Liang!" Hinata clearly heard his call and cried out in shock.
"No time to talk—just get me back inside the hut now!" Ye Liang quickly replied.
"Yes!"
Tears welled in Hinata's eyes, her face trembling with emotion.
Come on already!
This isn't the time for sentimentality!
Oh no...
Women are all the same—emotional over literally nothing!
They don't care about the situation at all.
"Hinata! Hurry up!" Ye Liang urged anxiously.
Hinata was hugging Ye Liang's head tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Oh my god, Ye Liang! I thought I'd never see you again!"
"Oh my god, Ye Liang, I thought I'd lost you forever!"
"Oh my god, Ye Liang! I thought..."
Ye Liang: "..."
No way in hell!
This was the first time Ye Liang had ever wanted to yell at Hinata.
He used to think he was a gentle and sweet guy, but apparently, there's a beast inside after all!
Seeing Hinata continuing to cry hysterically, he finally gave in...
Far away,
Sarutobi Hiruzen had finally replenished his chakra. He poured every ounce of strength into his shadow clones and started forming hand seals right there on the ground.
Ye Liang finally realized what Sarutobi was trying to summon!
Impure World Reincarnation!
"This old bastard actually learned Orochimaru's **Kinjutsu**!"
Right then—
Three mysterious coffins suddenly burst forth from the cursed seal on the ground! Though they appeared worn-out and decrepit, an endless and incredibly powerful chakra surged inside them.
"They're Konoha's previous Hokage generations!"
Ye Liang finally understood the mission's meaning.
Mission Title – Confront the Hokage!
It meant fighting all the powerful Hokage of Konoha!
Not just the Third!
Even the Fourth, Second, and First were summoned here as well!
The Fourth wasn't too bad.
Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, became famous too early—he lacked deep power reserves and would be the easiest to handle. But Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, and Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage—those two were practically invincible!
Tobirama Senju, known as the Master of Forbidden Techniques!
The number of forbidden jutsu he created could circle the globe multiple times.
[Multipled Shadow Clone Jutsu!]
As long as your chakra is sufficient, it can summon hundreds or even thousands of Shadow Clones—the more, the better!
[Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!]
When one tag explodes, it summons new explosive tags automatically; as long as the target isn't dead, it keeps exploding endlessly—hundreds, millions, even billions of tags!
As long as you prepared enough in advance, there's no enemy that cannot be blown to pieces!
[Flying Thunder God Technique!]
The escape move Ye Liang loved the most—created by the Second Hokage! As long as you have those special kunai, you can teleport infinitely. You can never kill an enemy with no cooldown and instant movement abilities!
There were countless other monstrous ninjutsu like these.
The original story didn't even list them all.
As for the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju—he was even more terrifying!
Even Ye Liang, who knew all his true capabilities, didn't want to fight him at all.
"Damn it! If I don't pull myself together now, we're totally toast!" Finally realizing self-reliance was the only option, Ye Liang abruptly broke free from Hinata's affectionate embrace, shocking her expression.
"Oh my god, Ye Liang?"
...
In the distance,
Chen Baojun warily watched the previous Hokage summoned by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He also felt some regret now.
These Hokage, freshly emerged from their coffins, each radiated incredible aura. Especially Tobirama, who kicked open his coffin lid violently, strutting around like he thinks he's the king!
"Monkey!" Tobirama Senju asked arrogantly, addressing Hiruzen directly as "Monkey"—Hiruzen Sarutobi's nickname!
"Lord Tobirama, I didn't mean to disturb your rest, but this time Konoha is facing the strongest enemy we've ever encountered. There was no other way."
"The strongest enemy we've ever faced?"
This time with excitement in his voice.
Before Tobirama could respond, his older brother Hashirama Senju rushed over eagerly, "The powerful enemy you mentioned—is it Chen?"
He pointed straight at Chen Baojun.
Before stepping back from the spotlight, Chen Baojun had been a war hero of Konoha. He was also one of Hashirama's closest protégés. Aside from Chen himself, there truly wasn't anyone else present who held such prestige!
"Baojun, you dare betray Konoha!" Tobirama II roared angrily after hearing his elder brother's words!
Tobirama was nothing like his brother—his temper was like wildfire.
