Chapter 222: Chapter 222
On the battlefield, the Tsuchikage and Raikage stood confidently, observing Konoha's forces with open disdain.
"Hahaha!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki laughed, casting a mocking glance at Kakashi. "Kakashi! I thought Konoha Village would have at least brought the Sannin to fight us. Is this all you've brought? Do you think you can challenge us with just this handful?"
Raikage joined in, chuckling. "A bunch of kids! Kakashi, I became Raikage long before you were even born!"
The two leaders felt certain of their superiority, convinced that the Land of Wind and the Land of Water had been defeated because they were caught off guard. To them, Konoha's forces seemed laughably insufficient.
They exchanged smug glances, each thinking they'd overestimated the threat. "If I'd known, I would've brought fewer men," Ōnoki scoffed, feeling his forces were more than enough.
Kakashi, however, remained calm, fully aware of his strength. He knew that the confidence of the two Kages would crumble once they realized the power he wielded. Without a hint of hesitation, he stepped forward.
"Enough talk," Kakashi declared, his voice steady as he activated his Kamui Sharingan, his eyes glinting with determination. "Let's get this started."
Ōnoki smirked at first, trying to keep his cool. "Is that all you've got? I've heard of your reputation as Sharingan Kakashi, but if that's the only trick you have, it's nothing to fear."
At that moment, Raikage suddenly spoke up.
"Something's off," he muttered. "Since when does Hatake Kakashi have two Sharingan?"
Hearing this, Ōnoki was momentarily taken aback. He quickly looked over, and sure enough—the man before them did have two Sharingan!
Ōnoki's eyes widened in shock. "What's going on? This doesn't match the intelligence reports we've gathered!"
Both leaders were dumbfounded. While they didn't fully understand what had changed, they knew something about this Kakashi was off. In the entire ninja world, Kakashi was famously known as "Kakashi of Sharingan," a skilled ninja despite not being a member of the Uchiha clan. He was renowned for having a single Sharingan, which he used to expertly copy other ninja's techniques, making him a formidable ninjutsu user with a sharp mind.
But the Kakashi before them now clearly possessed two Sharingan—and these eyes didn't just seem like ordinary Sharingan; they looked even more advanced, more powerful.
Realizing their information was flawed, Ōnoki quickly turned to Raikage. "Tha's no ordinary Sharingan. Those are the same eyes as Uchiha Madara. We need to join forces immediately!"
Without further hesitation, Ōnoki activated his Light-Weight Rock Technique, levitating off the ground and positioning himself to support Raikage. Then, using his ninjutsu, he lifted Raikage, allowing them to hover and prepare for the coming confrontation.
The two leaders positioned themselves mid-air, preparing for an aerial assault on Kakashi. Looking down at him from above, they exchanged a quick, relieved glance.
"I thought that Sharingan of his would be something special just like that man's," Ōnoki scoffed. "But he hasn't made a single move yet. Nothing to worry about."
"Exactly," Raikage agreed, grinning. "Let's take him down!"
Just as they spoke, however, their expressions froze in shock. In the next instant, a towering, glowing blue figure appeared around Kakashi—his Kamui Susanoo! The enormous spectral warrior lifted off the ground, hovering in the air to meet them with an icy stare.
"What in the world…?" Ōnoki's voice trembled as he gaped in disbelief. He and Raikage could hardly believe what they were seeing.
"Dust Release!" Ōnoki shouted, immediately activating his most powerful jutsu, a technique rumored to disintegrate anything in its path. A bright, intense white light erupted around him, surging straight toward Kakashi.
But Kakashi responded effortlessly. With a casual wave, he activated Kamui Shuriken, warping the very space around him. Instantly, the Dust Release technique was absorbed into the void, vanishing without a trace.
Ōnoki and Raikage were left speechless. Neither had ever encountered a jutsu that could completely nullify and absorb even the most powerful techniques. In stunned silence, they realized the dire situation before them—no matter what they threw at Kakashi, it would be futile.
The question loomed—could anyone withstand such an overwhelming power unscathed? The immense blue Susanoo towering around Kakashi was terrifyingly formidable. If they were struck by his Kamui even once, it would be over. It was a realization both Ōnoki and Raikage shared, though they dared not say it aloud.
Despite seeing Kakashi's incredible abilities, they still resolved to attempt. But Kakashi, wielding his Kamui Shuriken, warped the very space around them. Instantly, Raikage lost an arm, and Ōnoki narrowly avoided a life-threatening injury to his spine. Below them, their forces suffered even worse—Kakashi's attacks were impossible to evade. Many of their shinobi were killed almost instantly.
As they looked upon the remnants of their troops, most of whom were either dead or critically wounded, both Raikage and Ōnoki finally admitted defeat. They understood that any further resistance would be meaningless—they would only face a brutal defeat at Kakashi's hands.
And so, with no other options, both of them surrendered.
Thus, in Kakashi's world as the Third Hokage, the ninja nations were unified at last.
Fourth Hokage- Minato's World
After the recent events, the sudden appearance of twelve Hokages left the other nations stunned. The two remaining countries that had yet to surrender quickly fell in line, bringing about the successful unification of Minato's world.
With unity achieved, Minato knew exactly what needed to be done next: advance their technology and strengthen the world to make it even more powerful. Although peace had been achieved, he was fully aware that the struggle wasn't truly over.
Reflecting on the experiences of the Sixth Hokage Kakashi, Naruto, and Ryan, Minato realized that while there might be no serious threats within their world, enemies from beyond—particularly the powerful Ōtsutsuki clan—could arrive at any time. The strength of the Ōtsutsuki was terrifying, with each member wielding reality-bending abilities: shrinking objects, moving freely through space, absorbing any ninjutsu and chakra. Each of them possessed powers that defied the natural order.
Knowing this, Minato was committed to continually strengthening himself and his world. He understood that while he could call on other Hokages for help in times of need, self-reliance was crucial. Relying solely on outside assistance would not bring the respect he sought, nor the pride of achieving victory on his own.
With these goals in mind, Minato resolved to keep training tirelessly, preparing for whatever challenges the future might bring.
