Boom!
A straight punch, simple and direct, smashed into the ground, collapsing dozens of meters of terrain in every direction.
The violent shockwave spread outward, forming an invisible wind blade that shredded all obstacles around it into pieces.
Thick clouds of dust filled the area, but in an instant, three dark figures burst out of the haze.
Although the three stood in different positions, two of them fixed their eyes firmly on just one.
"Mizukage-sama!!"
Several shinobi from Kirigakure looked on anxiously at that lone figure.
No one expected that powerhouses like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama would join hands to deal with one man.
Where was their pride as the strongest?
Even though they recognized their Mizukage's strength, facing these two men—both called monsters—still made worry show on their faces.
"Yuto, no matter what, you won't be leaving today."
Hashirama pressed his lips lightly, his expression complicated as he spoke.
Although they came from different villages, Hashirama held deep respect for Yuto.
The end of the warring era owed much to Yuto's power.
But precisely because of that, the peace that had come could not be allowed to be broken by anyone!
With that thought, Hashirama's eyes grew even firmer.
Not far from him stood another silent figure—Uchiha Madara.
Recalling Yuto's words during the Five Kage Summit not long ago, Madara's expression turned dark.
"What is true peace? The so-called distribution of Bijū is utterly foolish!"
"Only by unifying the entire shinobi world, letting all shinobi belong to one nation, will wars naturally cease."
"And if the Bijū are divided among the villages, what then?"
"Do you think the Five Great Villages will stop fighting just for one mere beast?"
"…"
Madara's eyes narrowed. Yuto's words did hold weight, but even if such a day came, it would not be Yuto—it would be him, Uchiha Madara!
Looking at Madara and Hashirama ahead, Yuto twisted his neck, a hint of helplessness on his face.
He knew he would eventually clash with them, but he hadn't thought it would come this soon.
Shouldn't have shown off—low-key growth was the real way!
That fool Hashirama, despite acting simple-minded, was ruthlessly decisive when it came to killing.
"Hashiboy, Lil' Mad, are you two really going to fight me? You know you can't kill me. Be careful—if you lose, your brand-new Konoha will become my territory."
Yuto shouted at the two before him, his face full of mockery.
"Hmph, arrogant fool!"
Madara snorted coldly, ignoring the childish nickname "Lil' Mad."
"Yuto! Today, the two of us will never let you leave. If you escape, the entire shinobi world will surely fall into chaos again."
Hashirama's tone was unwavering.
Hearing him, Yuto curled his lip. That guy was always stubborn, and besides, they were on opposing sides.
Yuto's peace and Hashirama's peace were destined to clash.
"In that case, let's settle everything through battle!"
Yuto spoke calmly. This fight could no longer be avoided.
If it were only Hashirama or only Madara, Yuto was confident neither could stop him.
But with the two together, the only path left was battle!
"System, display attributes!"
Yuto murmured in his heart.
Ding—
Name: Yuto
Affiliation: Kirigakure
Main Quest: Unify the Shinobi World
Abilities: Ajin Template (Immortality), Mutant Black King (Sebastian Shaw) Template.[1]
That was Yuto's status—simple, direct, but the foundation of his power.
To this day, he still didn't fully understand his system.
When he first crossed into the Naruto world, he immediately obtained the Ajin template. With immortality and the ability to summon shadows, in less than three years, Yuto rose to the position of Mizukage.
After becoming Mizukage, the long-silent system spoke again, granting him the powers of the mutant Black King.
From then on, taijutsu was useless against him, ninjutsu equally so, and with immortality on top of it all—
Yuto could truly be called invincible. That was why his reputation nearly overshadowed even Hashirama and Madara.
Against them, at least one could measure the gap. Against Yuto, all anyone felt was fear.
No matter how fierce the attack, not even a scratch could be made on him. The psychological impact on enemies was unimaginable.
Others didn't know, but Yuto did—he wasn't truly invincible. The Black King's energy absorption and release were indeed powerful, but he had two fatal weaknesses.
First, the amount of energy he could absorb had a limit. But Yuto never worried about that—so far, no opponent had pushed him past even one-third of it.
Second, he had almost no resistance to mental attacks.
And in the shinobi world, mental attacks meant genjutsu.
Fortunately, so far, no one had discovered this weakness.
Thanks to his immortality, every time Yuto died, his spiritual strength grew. That allowed him to shrug off ordinary genjutsu entirely.
As for high-level genjutsu users, they usually lacked strong taijutsu. Against Yuto, they'd be killed in a single blow, never getting the chance to cast genjutsu.
That was why no one had discovered Yuto's true weakness.
But…
Yuto lifted his head, casting a furtive glance toward Madara. If that man used genjutsu, he might actually be in danger.
