381. Chapter 373: Kamui Dimension Password Being Changed

"Phew, looks like I'm still in the country."

Uchiha Gin, who had retreated from the Kamui Dimension, had his brows tightly locked together. He scanned the surroundings and, confirming he was still in the correct time and place, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid this strange Kamui Dimension would teleport him to some weird place.

Picking up the white paper flower in his hand, Uchiha Gin pondered for a moment and tried to use the system's item inspection function on it. He didn't expect there to actually be feedback.

【Flower That Never Withers】: Provides the host with one secret technique guidance, duration three days. (Special item, please use with caution.)

Uchiha Gin's half-squinted eyes revealed an inexplicable light. This was the first time he had obtained an item from outside the system's rewards. There was no detailed introduction, just a few words; it felt like a strange little gift made by the system in a rush to compensate for the bug.

Looking at the white paper flower in his hand that still retained a trace of strange chakra, Uchiha Gin resisted the urge to click use. The experience of being pitted by the system back then was still fresh in his memory.

Uchiha Gin, who had transformed into the God of Caution, decided to throw this thing into the warehouse to gather dust first and study it thoroughly after the Knight Battle concluded.

After storing the paper flower into the system backpack, Uchiha Gin looked at the countless huge stone pillars around him. His scarlet eyes began to fade, and the enchanting Mangekyo gradually turned blue.

Accompanied by his body being covered in a cyan-blue chakra cloak, Uchiha Gin successfully entered the Tenseigan Mode.

Uchiha Gin 【Mangekyo Sharingan】 -> Uchiha Gin 【Tenseigan Mode】

"Rise for me~"

In Tenseigan Mode, Uchiha Gin easily manipulated the surrounding stone pillars from a distance, following his thoughts to insert them directly into the water in front of him, laying them closely together. Before long, a flat dueling arena composed of stone pillars appeared before him, with an area about the size of a football field.

"Tap~"

Landing on the stage paved with stone pillars, Uchiha Gin tried stomping his feet and found that the stone pillars, of unknown material, were unexpectedly hard and stable. His stomp, infused with super strength, only caused a slight wobble.

"This stone material is really good!"

Looking at the gray-white stone pillars under his feet, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but praise them. Thinking that there were still many of these in the Kamui Dimension, he immediately decided that the next time he renovated the Uchiha clan grounds, he would take all those stone materials out and make good use of them.

In the Kamui Dimension.

Just after Uchiha Gin left, a somewhat disheveled figure walked out of the vortex. After landing, he first looked suspiciously at the peaceful-looking Nagato Uzumaki (corpse limited), found nothing amiss, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ What exactly was that strange fluctuation in the Kamui Dimension just now?"

As long as Nagato Uzumaki's corpse was fine, he turned to leave after confirming, but the scene before him almost made him think he had fallen into a genjutsu.

"Huh? A thief broke into the house?"

He saw that the space, which was originally filled with stone pillars, had been baldly plucked clean of a large area. He widened his eyes in disbelief, rubbed his scarlet eyes with his only remaining left hand, and after checking repeatedly that he hadn't seen wrong, beautiful Konoha-style profanities burst from the mouth under his mask.

"I'm up at eight in the morning! &*￥%+%￥%#@！##￥&*% Kakashi, you damn bastard, not only did you steal Rin's heart, you also stole my home!"

In this world, besides him, the only one who could use the Kamui Dimension was Kakashi. So the missing things were definitely stolen by that hateful white-haired guy.

"Littering is one thing, but this time it's so excessive. Wait until I change my skin and then I'll go deal with you!"

Thinking of how he had to come to the Kamui Dimension to clean up from time to time, he, as the rightful owner of the space, was instantly furious.

It was clearly him who, out of old feelings, left a key to the couple's space for that bastard Kakashi, but the other party didn't act like a human at all.

He tolerated it when he threw some severed limbs, explosives, nails, missiles, Susanoo arrows, etc., in the past, as it was a last resort for battle.

But what the hell were the fruit peels, paper scraps, smelly socks, and hard strawberry underwear he had been throwing recently?

Change the password! Must change the password!

Land of Rain border.

The heavy rain continued to fall. Two figures wrapped in heavy cloaks broke into this land favored by the Rain God one after another. Stepping on the water-logged road, the burly figure in front paused, stopped, and turned to take off the cloak wrapped around his head, revealing a shiny, incomparable bald head.

"Chiyo, go back."

Shamon, with a face full of flesh, sighed slightly in his heart and waved his hand with a complex expression at the slender figure chasing closely behind him.

"That won't do, Teacher. Lord First instructed me to bring you back no matter what."

Hearing this, Chiyo lifted her grayish-brown cloak, revealing a head of smooth purple hair. Her star-like beautiful eyes were filled with determination. She had been chasing Shamon for three days, not daring to stop for a moment, fearing that if she were a step slow, her teacher would be in danger alone.

"You should have seen the contents of the invitation. I have no choice."

Not participating in the battle wouldn't mean death, but the Knight's qualification would be taken back by Decade. For Shamon, this was equivalent to death. It would be better to try and fight for it; perhaps he could fight for a beautiful future for Sunagakure.

"But..."

Seeing that his teacher had no intention of giving up, Chiyo's heart tightened. As a Kazekage candidate for Sunagakure, she naturally knew the intelligence of other knights.

Other countries basically had two knights sitting in town. Among them, although Konoha only had one, that knight was too overpowered, with combat power equivalent to multiple knights. And their Sunagakure only had Shamon as a knight. Once a melee started, they would definitely face a one-versus-many situation.

"Say no more, Chiyo. This is the only chance in my life to prove myself to the world, and besides..."

Guessing what Chiyo was thinking, Shamon shook his head gently, his long, narrow eyes full of fighting spirit. Although he was fighting alone this time, he was no longer the person he used to be.

"I am the last trump card of the Land of Wind."

Touching the golden card tucked in his bosom, a confident expression appeared on Shamon's face. Having completed a certain metamorphosis, he was no longer the clown of the past.

When the wind of the Land of Wind dissipates, all that remains is the trump card.

"Alright."

Chiyo looked at her teacher, struggled for a moment, and finally chose to respect Shamon's choice. After nodding gently, she reached out her hand, feeling the beautiful rhythm of raindrops hitting her palm, a flash of determination in her eyes.

"Since that's the case..."

Shaking her slightly damp purple hair, Chiyo took out a purple wizard hat and put it on her head, lowered the brim, and a smile called trust hung on her pink lips.

"Then please let me witness Teacher's highlight moment."

"Tap~ Tap~ Tap~"

"Who's there?"

Just as the master and apprentice reached a consensus and were about to head to the designated competition venue together, two undisguised footsteps immediately alerted them.

"Ha~ Ha~ Ha, isn't this the bald clown who can only spray Vacuum Bullets? It's been years, how come you still look so pathetic?"

An arrogant, wild laugh pierced through the rain curtain and reached the ears of Shamon and Chiyo. Hearing this, Chiyo frowned. Someone actually dared to mock her teacher. Her ten onion-like fingers lifted slightly, and invisible chakra threads quietly spread out like a spider web.

"Don't be impulsive."

Shamon, with a gloomy face, raised his hand to stop Chiyo's small movements. He was naturally very familiar with this voice. Knowing the other party's strange methods, he didn't want his disciple to take risks.

"Little white-bearded guy, you actually have the guts to come?"

"Hehehe~ That damn bandage man dared to come, so what do I not dare to do?"

One tall and one short figure stepped out from the nearby jungle. Hozuki Gengetsu, rubbing his small beard, had an evil, wild expression, and his small eyes were full of disdain.

"Senior Brother, should we deal with him here?"

Katsura, the black-haired man following Hozuki Gengetsu, half-squinted his eyes, looking at the master and apprentice who were ready for battle, his faint tone carrying visible killing intent.

"The Three-Tails Knight, huh..."

Shamon protected Chiyo behind him. Facing two knights whose strength was not inferior to his own, he felt great pressure.

"The Wild Noble Son of Kirigakure..."

The wizard hat on her head gave Chiyo inexplicable confidence. She poked her head out from behind her teacher, looking at the black-haired man exuding cold killing intent like substance, and frowned as she confirmed.

"That's right, I am..."

"... Zura!"

"..."

The other party's silence was deafening. Chiyo blinked in confusion. Was what she said wrong? She clearly remembered that was the name in the intelligence.

"As expected, let's just kill them."

Katsura closed his eyes, his voice as chilling as a cold wind.

"Ah?"

Seeing the surrounding raindrops crystallizing at a visible speed and feeling the bone-chilling cold, Chiyo gasped in surprise.

After the raindrops froze, they didn't fall to the ground but instead floated around Katsura, quickly condensing into a huge ice spear. The sharp spear tip flashed with deadly cold light. Seeing this, Shamon immediately clapped his hands on the ground, and the moist soil surged up, transforming into yellow fine sand in the air, wrapping around in front of the two.

"Ice Style..."

"Stop! Fake Katsura!"

Just as the battle between the two sides was about to break out, Hozuki Gengetsu, rubbing his small beard, looked up thoughtfully. With his good perception, he discovered someone spying and immediately waved his hand to stop his junior brother.

"Senior Brother?"

"I didn't come here to perform monkey tricks for that bandage man."

Facing his confused junior brother, Hozuki Gengetsu curled his lips and gestured with his fingertips. Everyone followed the direction he pointed and only then discovered that in the cloudy sky, two figures were floating there, overlooking their every move.

"Hmph!"

Katsura then coldly dispelled the Ice Style. The huge ice spear instantly fell to the ground and melted into water at a very fast speed, while Shamon also took his hands off the ground, and the damp, heavy yellow sand collapsed with a bang.

"Teacher, why did they stop fighting?"

Onoki, flying beside Mu, looked suspiciously at the two sides on the ground who had suddenly stopped. They were clearly at daggers drawn just a moment ago, so why did they stop suddenly? It was too anticlimactic.

"That little mustache discovered us."

Mu shook his head, his hoarse voice carrying undisguised fighting spirit. When rivals meet, how can they not be excited?

"Sigh~ I was hoping to profit from their struggle."

Hearing this, Onoki curled his lips in regret. If they could eliminate a few opponents before the battle started, their chances of winning in Iwagakure would be much higher.

"Don't think of them as that stupid. Those who can become knights are all meticulous people; they wouldn't make such risky moves."

In Mu's view, knights were all dragons among men with both courage and strategy. Acts like declaring war in advance were all unwise moves.

"BOOM!!!"

However, no sooner had Mu finished speaking than a huge blue Tengu brushed past them and descended from the sky. The huge airflow generated when its wings flapped blew the two until they were dizzy, almost causing them to lose control of their bodies and fall to the ground to be smashed into potato pancakes.

"Are there only a few of you? Whatever, I'm in a hurry, come at me together!"

Uchiha Madara, standing in the cockpit on the head, was full of arrogance. His scarlet eyes scanned the few people present, and his cold voice, amplified by chakra, reached everyone's ears.

"Hey! Can't you be a little more low-key?"

Senju Tobirama's sour voice sounded behind Uchiha Madara. In the huge cockpit, there wasn't just Uchiha Madara; there was also a white-haired man in blue armor, holding his churning stomach and looking at him with resentment.

"Hmph! I told you to walk with those brats, but you insisted on taking my transportation."

"I just wanted to come over and mark the spot in advance, then go back to pick them up."

Senju Tobirama now regretted shamelessly hitching a ride with Uchiha Madara. This guy hadn't been up to any good along the way, with all kinds of fancy flying maneuvers. Even he, who was used to space-time travel, almost got motion sickness from Susanoo.

"U-Uchiha... Madara!"

Looking at this arrogant man before him, Onoki, who had just stabilized his body, felt the shadow in his heart reactivated. Trembling slightly, he swallowed hard.

"Something's wrong. According to his personality, he shouldn't have come, right?"

The moment Uchiha Madara appeared, Mu, Hozuki Gengetsu, and Shamon frowned in unison. They had summarized the knight intelligence before setting off.

After a detailed analysis of each knight's data, they unanimously concluded that, given Uchiha Madara's personality, he would never come to participate in this Knight Battle. But his appearance now was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

"What are you all standing there for? You noobs, hurry up!"

Uchiha Madara, standing in the cockpit on the head of Susanoo, saw the few people who were unmoved, and his brows instantly furrowed. His arrogant attitude made even Senju Tobirama, a man of the village, itch with anger.

"Hmph!"

The last time Hozuki Gengetsu was mocked like this was the last time. Provoked by Uchiha Madara's arrogant attitude, he gritted his teeth and let out a cold snort.

Taking a gray driver out of his bosom, Hozuki Gengetsu knew that this guy in front of him would definitely not let it go. If he didn't do something, he would definitely be mocked by the bandage man.

Seeing the first person take out a driver, the remaining few also tacitly took out their own drivers. For a moment, a tense atmosphere permeated the entire battlefield, and it was quiet, with only the sound of rain falling.

Pitter-patter~

The rain was still falling, and Uchiha Madara's Tengu stood tall like an invisible mountain, pressing down on everyone's hearts. Just as the few people pressed their drivers to their waists, two bolts of lightning, one gold and one silver, suddenly lit up in the cloudy sky.

"Rumble~ Rumble~"

"Lightning Style: Lightning-Abuse Horizontal Thousand-Generation Dance!" *2

A thunderclap on flat ground. Everyone present felt their eyes blur. Two bolts of lightning descended from the sky and rushed toward the huge Susanoo with lightning speed. Before the sound even landed, a crisp sound resounded through the sky.

"Snap!"

"Nani?"

Uchiha Madara widened his eyes, looking at the two huge fists flashing with electric light outside the Susanoo cockpit. He didn't expect that someone's speed could be so fast that even the Sharingan's dynamic vision almost lost track of them.

"Snap!"

The crisp snapping sound that came out again pulled back Uchiha Madara's distracted attention. The visible cracks on Susanoo made him feel a sense of astonishment. This was the first time the Complete Body Susanoo had its defense broken by someone other than Haxi Lama.

"It's them! They're here too!"

Shamon raised his head, ignoring the bean-sized raindrops falling into his eyes. He widened his eyes, staring at the two people who had broken the defense of the so-called absolute defense Susanoo, his voice carrying an undisguised trace of fear.

"The Silver and Gold brothers of Kumogakure. As expected, where there is fighting, how can they be missing~"

Mu, floating not far away, could see the heroic feat of the Silver and Gold brothers more clearly than the people on the ground. After sighing at the two brothers who were hard-countering Susanoo, there was more confusion in his eyes.

They had no grudges against Uchiha Madara, so why was there such great resentment the moment they met?

The same confusion also appeared in Uchiha Madara's heart. He didn't seem to have any intersection with these two ferocious-looking strong men in front of him, but why did they act like he had killed their father the moment they met?

"Nii-san!"

"Otouto!"

The Silver and Gold brothers outside Susanoo looked at each other and nodded tacitly. The lightning on their bodies burst out again. The power of the Lightning Chakra Mode was adjusted to the maximum by them, and the power of the bond combination technique between brothers doubled.

"Bang! ~"

Uchiha Madara's Susanoo was finally pierced through by the concerted efforts of the Silver and Gold brothers, and those two fists carrying crackling electric light still maintained their momentum.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's face turned cold. He had only relaxed a little, and it gave these two guys an opportunity.

The autumn recruitment is imminent, watch me teach you what it means to dance!

However, just as Uchiha Madara opened his Mangekyo, preparing to beat the Silver and Gold brothers who didn't follow the martial arts, he was astonished to find that the target locked by the other party's fists didn't seem to be himself.

"Eat my... Huh?"

Two iron fists carrying the aura of destruction bypassed him gracefully and smashed toward the rear with unstoppable momentum. Uselessly adhering to the principle of not hurting the innocent, the thoughtful brothers even deliberately restrained their fist wind during this process, not letting Uchiha Madara feel the slightest discomfort.

"Go to hell! Sen/ju\To/bi\ra/ma\"

"Oh~"

Hearing the monstrous hatred in the voice, Uchiha Madara reacted quickly, directly starting from zero frames, pinched out a Susanoo stool in the cockpit, sat on it, and watched with great interest as Senju Tobirama was forced into a desperate situation by the Silver and Gold brothers.

"Uchiha Madara! You damn bastard, open a door!"

Senju Tobirama, with nowhere to retreat, had his back against the hard Susanoo. Looking at Uchiha Madara, who was eating melons, he was so angry he almost fainted.

Just now, Senju Tobirama, who had been watching the show behind Uchiha Madara, had a bad premonition the moment he saw the Silver and Gold brothers. Although so many years had passed, he could still vaguely recognize these two strong men as the remnants of the Hagoromo clan who had fled to the Land of Lightning back then.

And the probability that their fists hitting Susanoo wasn't to kill Uchiha Madara.

Sure enough, after smashing Susanoo, these two brothers didn't pay attention to the fighting-spirited Uchiha Madara but instead killed their way straight toward him.

"Senju Tobirama, you are a prominent figure in the village after all. How can you retreat in the face of battle? Hurry up and show the momentum of your village branch secretary, be spirited, don't lose the face of us Konoha people~"

Facing Senju Tobirama's request, Uchiha Madara shook his head seriously, and the opening was a daily flattery + fire-stoking.

This kind of good show was rare in a century; if he missed it, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait.

"You just wait for me!"

Uchiha Madara's words sounded fine at first glance—how could the head of the village retreat in the face of battle? But Senju Tobirama wasn't a fool; he naturally knew the other party was settling a personal grudge.

Knowing he couldn't resist the attack of the Silver and Gold brothers, Senju Tobirama had to take out his signature skill, raised one hand, and instantly turned into a blue light and disappeared from the spot.

"BOOM!"

The iron fists of the Silver and Gold brothers, filled with hatred, finally missed, and thoughtfully opened a window for Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.

"Damn it, let him run!"

Kinkaku, full of regret, shook his painful, stinging fists and cursed viciously.

"Do you have a grudge against that white-haired guy?"

Looking regretfully at the two who had failed, Uchiha Madara stood up, and a rare friendly expression appeared on his cold face.

"If our brothers don't beat the shit out of him, it's because he's clenching too tight!"

"Since that's the case, I can lead the way for you~" (End of chapter)
