At this moment, at the Village Gate of Konoha.
Uchiha Nian stood panting on a relatively intact patch of ground, with the surrounding air churning. More than a dozen jonin lay scattered around him, and countless large and small potholes were smoking.
"Not over yet!"
Wood chips flew everywhere as Hiruzen Sarutobi broke free from a huge wooden prison. He held the Adamantine Staff, and the thick staff instantly lengthened to a hundred meters, sweeping towards Nian's head like a long whip.
Nian immediately rolled to the right, but before he could land, the ground where he had been standing exploded instantly, and shattered stones and soil splattered.
"Snap!"
Nian clapped his hands together, about to use Wood Release, but a fearless ninja suddenly hugged him from behind. In desperation, he could only break free and kick the opponent away.
A shadow loomed overhead, and a heavy wind sound came to his ears. Nian's pupils shrank, and he immediately mobilized the few remaining chakra in his body, his body glowing with an orange aura, and activated the skeletal structure.
The next second, the huge Adamantine Staff slammed him into the ground, and the bone structure cracked like glass amidst the piercing explosion, and blood flowed from Nian's eyes.
"Uchiha Nian, you can't escape!"
Sarutobi retracted the long staff, rotating it like a windmill for a few weeks, and channeled chakra into the staff along with his hands, then slammed it into the ground.
"Dong!"
Suddenly, a beam of red light traveled along the staff, quickly merging into the ground. As the light flowed, a spiderweb-like barrier technique slowly lit up, and Nian's current position was right in the center of the formation.
The red light scurried, illuminating the corpses of the surrounding Konoha ninjas one by one. Nian concentrated and found that everyone was carrying a special talisman, connected to each other, forming a powerful sealing formation!
"Adamantine Sealing: Saru-Yō Exorcism!" Sarutobi shouted, and the formation formed immediately.
Before Nian could jump out of the pit, the chakra throughout his body seemed to be welded to his meridians, completely plunging him into sluggishness.
That wasn't all. A huge ape palm, no less than the second-stage Susanoo, emerged from the ground. It was completely crimson and grabbed him into its palm, and a long-lost feeling of suffocation swept through his body.
"Attack!" Sarutobi gave an order, and several jonin rushed over immediately.
Nian struggled desperately, but under Sarutobi's full-fledged maintenance, the formation continued to flow with light, and the ape palm became more and more solid. No matter how much he resisted, it was useless.
He tried his best to open his eyes, his bloodshot pupils reflecting countless hands forming seals rapidly.
Fire dragons meandered, and lightning shot through. The blazing light illuminated Nian's pale and tired cheeks.
At this moment, a slightly lazy voice reverberated in all directions.
"Well, let's stop here."
As soon as the words fell, Nian only felt a blur in front of his eyes and saw that familiar back.
Kamihane smiled and raised his hand, and the blue light of the Karma Seal in his palm flashed. The fire dragon lightning storm merged into his palm like a whale swallowing water, and all the ninjutsu was swept away in just a few breaths.
He took a step forward, and with a "boom," a circular pit with a radius of several hundred meters collapsed with him as the center.
The violent force carried a gale, causing a circular shock wave that instantly destroyed all the sealing talismans. The ninjas who were close to the front coughed blood and flew backwards, and the dust was lifted like waves.
When the smoke slowly cleared, Kamihane's figure also appeared in front of everyone.
He had a smile on his face, and his silky smooth black hair danced wildly in the moonlit night. His gorgeous, formation-like pupils bloomed with a dreamlike light.
"Uchiha... Kamihane!" Sarutobi stared blankly at the man who had violently entered the scene, and a look of hatred flashed across his eyes. He lowered his head, and his face was quickly swallowed by the shadows.
The Konoha jonin looked at each other, all shocked by Kamihane's domineering aura, not daring to act rashly.
"Your mission is complete. Congratulations, you've proven yourself." Kamihane said, turning his head.
Nian felt relieved, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. A strong fatigue swept over him like a rising tide.
Kamihane turned his head, looking down at the crowd. "First of all, let me state that I am a very reasonable person. Whether it's Uchiha Mirror or your Konohagakure, I won't help, so I won't interfere in the dispute between Nian and you."
Sarutobi said in a deep voice, his tone seeming to brew a storm. "If you're not interfering, why interfere with the battle? Wouldn't it be better to watch from the sidelines?"
"Eh? Fighting is fighting, but of course I have to save my nephew's life." Kamihane patted Nian's shoulder and blinked at Sarutobi and the others. "I didn't help him wipe you out. That's already very fair."
Saying that, he waved his hand, and a black and red hole slowly appeared beside him.
"Let's go."
"Wait!" Sarutobi suddenly opened his mouth, carrying the Adamantine Staff and stepping forward step by step, the chakra throughout his body almost boiling.
Anyone could feel his monstrous anger.
"Uchiha Kamihane, today, I will never let you go!" he shouted, his eyes bloodshot, "The hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable!"
"Have the courage to attack me, hum, you do have a little bit of bloodlust after all."
Kamihane stood with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Are you acting on behalf of Konohagakure?"
"No! This is completely a personal matter!"
Sarutobi accelerated his charge, and the long staff rubbed against the ground, creating sparks, dragging out dragon-like trajectories.
"Hehe, if you didn't say that, perhaps all of Konohagakure would have to be buried with you." Kamihane smiled faintly.
As soon as the last syllable of his words fell, Sarutobi rushed in front of him. He charged shirtless, jumping high, and his thin, slender arms showed amazing power at this moment. The Adamantine Staff swept through the air, and the end of the staff even waved out a sonic boom!
He roared, his muscles bulging, flushed red like a shrimp, as if carrying all his anger into this one staff.
Nian's heart pounded wildly, shocked by the monstrous momentum. He vaguely felt that even his Susanoo would definitely be shattered directly by this attack!
Thinking so, he couldn't help but look up at the fluttering, unshakable back, and a trace of shame suddenly rose in his heart.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!" Sarutobi roared, and the shadow of the staff howled as it arrived!
At this moment, Kamihane moved.
He raised his right arm and slowly made a fist, his heroic body turning to the right, his waist and horse united, striking a standard power-gathering posture.
This was clearly just a very simple action, but at the moment it was struck, the space within dozens of meters solidified. The speeding iron rod, the heavy sound of the wind, and Nian's shocked expression seemed… everything had slowed down.
On his body, an invisible "momentum" spread in all directions, overwhelming the sky and covering the sun, causing the entire space to change drastically, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the border, forcing everyone to hold their breath, and had to cast their frightened eyes on him.
At this moment, Kamihane's breathing was extremely natural, as if integrated into the gale. A blazing chakra like a blazing sun flowed through his meridians, gathering mightily on his fist peak, causing his fist to burn with ice-blue flames.
"Chakra-Enhanced Strength." Kamihane's lips parted slightly.
The fist and the staff suddenly collided, and the air wailed in trembling, bursting out a shocking roar!
Kamihane's fist intent accumulated to the peak, like a surging wave reaching the boiling point, and the chakra detonated at the moment of contact, and the violent and domineering power instantly defeated Sarutobi's attack!
Buzzing was loud, that was the Adamantine Staff in rapid vibration. At the moment of collision between the two, this invincible long staff was severely deformed, almost bent at 90 degrees!
Sarutobi's tiger's mouth collapsed as a result, and he couldn't help but let go of the iron staff. The force penetrated his body and shot him into Konohagakure, breaking through countless buildings before being deeply embedded in the mountains outside the village.
Kamihane's fist was still unscathed, showing a jade-like texture under the moonlight, and there was even a faint heat floating from the fist peak.
"Well, it's indeed a personal grievance."
He glanced at the trembling Konoha jonin. "The old me was relatively rebellious, so many people in your Konoha should have grudges against me. It doesn't matter. If any of you want to avenge me, you are always welcome."
Saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.
