[Mission "You're That Afraid of Death?" completed. You have obtained Nuclear Release Chakra Mode: Yang Progenitor Form.]
Hiromi stood above the massive crater stretching hundreds of kilometers, gazing at the cloudless sky.
The next moment, in his Sage Art: Nuclear Release Chakra Mode, he suddenly appeared before Sasuke and Naruto.
"Hiromi!"
"Hiromi..."
Sasuke was shocked and immediately charged forward to launch a sneak attack.
Naruto sensed something and tried to stop Sasuke, but he was a step too late.
The next moment, Hiromi grabbed Sasuke's hand. With such overwhelming power, Sasuke was completely unable to resist. He could only use Amenotejikara to teleport himself away but Hiromi pursued him relentlessly. After several attempts, Sasuke was caught, unable to fight back.
"Hiromi! What exactly are you trying to do!"
Sasuke struggled incessantly, gritting his teeth.
Hiromi remained coldly silent, dragging Sasuke as he walked toward Naruto.
Naruto tightly gripped the hand bearing the Six Paths Power: Yang seal, his footsteps retreating as Hiromi approached.
But in front of Hiromi in his Sage Art: Nuclear Release Chakra Mode, he had no chance to resist, not even the ability to escape. In the end, his hand was also grabbed.
Hiromi looked at the Six Paths Power: Yang seal and Six Paths Power: Yin seal, his Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan spinning rapidly, instantly locking onto a soul. He reached out and probed inside.
Naruto sensed something. "No! Hiromi, I beg you, spare the old man! Spare him!"
Sasuke stared blankly.
He couldn't believe Hiromi could actually...
The next second, a soul was pulled out, and Chakra from all over the world surged rapidly, instantly condensing before the two of them into a man of extraordinary bearing—the Sage of Six Paths.
"I didn't expect you to actually be able to summon me." The Sage of Six Paths looked at Hiromi with a complex expression.
He knew Hiromi intended to kill him.
"Your Chakra drifts through the world, silently guarding the Ninja World. Although I scoff at your so-called 'guarding the Ninja World,' I am killing you simply because I dislike your way of balance." Hiromi said.
"So you want the whole world to submit to you?!" The Sage of Six Paths felt sorrow for the future of humanity on this planet.
Hiromi chuckled and said, "In consideration of the fact that you once saved the world, I will tell you the future of this planet."
"The Uchiha clan will rule the world, dividing it into two, into Eastern and Western nations, letting them compete in opposition. Those who want a peaceful life can have one, and those who want to strive for greatness can do so. Only a world that moves forward can protect itself."
"You, Sage of Six Paths, are too self-righteous. Do you think you are special?:
The Sage of Six Paths was shocked. He hadn't expected Hiromi, known as a tyrant, to actually want to cultivate all of humanity.
But...
"Then why did you wipe out clans and villages? Doing such brutal things!" The Sage of Six Paths reprimanded.
Hiromi laughed. "Why should I spare those who stand against me?"
The Sage of Six Paths was speechless. But he did not trust Hiromi, though whether he believed him or not was irrelevant at this point.
At this moment, a small black bullet condensed in Hiromi's hand.
Sasuke and Naruto were startled, struggling instinctively, wanting to get away. But upon realizing that their hands were still being tightly held by Hiromi, they immediately understood—Hiromi was not only going to kill the Sage of Six Paths, but them as well.
Sasuke was very unwilling, still struggling incessantly, his face twisted, filled with naive madness.
Naruto slumped, filled with sorrow. He looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke, let's be friends again in the next life."
Sasuke, whose eyes were blood-red and who had been struggling incessantly, froze.
"Naruto..."
The next second.
Boom!!!
A destructive aura, amidst white light, covered a radius of one hundred kilometers, annihilating all life.

Having dealt with Sasuke and Naruto, Hiromi arrived at Itachi's side.
Looking at them lying on the ground, bleeding, in a near-death state, Hiromi said expressionlessly, "Didn't I tell you all to hide further away?"
The only one standing, Minato: "..."
Hiromi used Cellular Regeneration Absorption to absorb the radiation cells within their bodies into his own. Then he used Cellular Regeneration Ejection to replace their cells with his own. Soon, they all recovered their vitality.
Hiromi also took the opportunity to replenish Tsunade's Chakra.
Immediately after, he faced the deep crater, preparing to use the Shinkō Sanrei of his left eye's Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, when Tsunade woke up.
Seeing Rin and Minato, she let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease.
But seeing Orochimaru and Itachi, she immediately became vigilant again.
When she saw Hiromi, she was so startled that she immediately assumed a combat stance. However, she quickly reined in her overreaction. Her gaze was complex, filled with fear, wariness, and expectation.
Rin, who originally didn't want to speak to Hiromi, stepped forward and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, you said you owed me a resurrection slot."
Hearing Rin's attitude toward Hiromi, Minato's eyelids twitched, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and Tsunade gulped.
They had just experienced Hiromi's terrifying attack. Just the minor shockwave had nearly killed them, and their fear of Hiromi had reached its peak.
Seeing Rin act like this, they were all afraid that Hiromi would be displeased and blow them up on the spot.
Fortunately, Hiromi was not angry, merely reacting coldly. "We'll talk about that later."
After speaking, he looked at the crater in front of him once more. In an instant, a terrifying ocular power rapidly spread out.
Itachi was shocked. Even Orochimaru and the others, who did not possess the Sharingan, sensed the terror of this power.
A few minutes later, the ocular power covered the massive crater spanning hundreds of kilometers. The next moment, the ocular power began to surge, as if moving objects.
Soon, they were shocked to see sand and soil beginning to appear in the giant crater. The giant crater was slowly being filled back in.
Even if it was formed by Chakra, the scale was shocking. But this was not formed by Chakra, it seemed to be items that had originally existed on this planet.
They watched with their own eyes as sand and soil appeared, the giant crater was leveled, vegetation slowly grew on top, and stones emerged.
Even the Uchiha Imperial City began to appear, restoring itself to the state it was in before the Fifth Great Ninja War.
"This is the power of the World's Truth!" Orochimaru's gaze became fanatical.
"The power of a god..." Minato and Tsunade were shocked.
Rin pouted, very dissatisfied, but the shock in her heart was no less than that of the others.
Itachi watched in silence, the doubts he had harbored about Hiromi in his heart vanishing.
Once everything had recovered, he walked forward, knelt on one knee, and said, "I apologize, Hiromi. Please do not assign me to any important positions in the future, I am not suitable for them."
Hiromi looked at him calmly. "I will not stand in the way of your choice."
"Thank you."
Itachi closed his eyes, bowed, and expressed his gratitude for Hiromi's leniency.
Hiromi turned around and looked at Minato. Minato's heart trembled, and he felt very uneasy.
Hiromi said, "Go and bring people here, I can grant you one resurrection opportunity."
Minato was taken aback, his face filled with surprise as he thought of Kushina. But immediately after, he recalled the smaller yet terrifying white light explosion from just moments ago, and he hurriedly asked, "What about Naruto?"
"I killed him."
"Then... can I choose to resurrect him?" Minato asked uneasily.
"You can, but I need to make it clear to you: just because he is resurrected does not mean I will not kill him again."
Minato was stunned.
What did that mean?
The atmosphere was silent.
After several seconds, Rin could no longer watch and immediately said to Hiromi, "Minato-sensei understands."
Then, she hurriedly pulled Minato away, saying, "Minato-sensei, as long as Naruto has no hostility toward Hiromi after he is resurrected, Hiromi will not kill him."
Minato understood and breathed a sigh of relief, immediately taking Rin to go fetch people.
When Tsunade heard that fetching people would earn a resurrection slot, she immediately thought of Kato Dan and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Hiromi looked at her. "Do you want to join the Uchiha clan?"
Tsunade was stunned, her expression conflicted.
Soon, she said firmly, "As long as I can resurrect my lover."
"Very well, I will give you a slot in three years."
Hiromi turned and left.
