Chapter 328

Uchiha Tenshi stared at the battlefield, his expression shifting uncontrollably.

His entire worldview had just collapsed.

"What the hell is going on... Why did my perfect plan suddenly turn into this? It was flawless!"

Originally, Uchiha Tenshi's plan had been simple and clear.

Make a deal with Uchiha Obito, obtain the White Zetsu corpse from him, and use the White Zetsu corpse to summon the First, Second, and Uchiha Madara.

Then spend time continuously modifying the Impure World Reincarnation.

Truly gain control over the First, Second, and Uchiha Madara through Impure World Reincarnation.

At that point, these three supreme warriors, fully under his command, would be enough to conquer the entire world and make him the true king of the Ninja World.

True unification of the Ninja World—whether he wanted to become its undisputed sovereign and do as he pleased, or collect the Nine Tailed Beasts to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki—was all within reach.

But reality slapped him hard.

First, his actions had been unexpectedly discovered by Uchiha Fuyue, the current clan head, forcing him to initiate his plan prematurely.

Then, just as victory seemed assured, Bai Hu Zi and Hou Jue Wo Ban appeared and brutally beat the incomplete summons of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.

Perhaps Hou Jue Wo Ban.

Uchiha Tenshi wasn't very familiar with him, but Bai Hu Zi—being one of the veteran Four Emperors who once stood equal to the Hokage—had unimaginable popularity.

He couldn't possibly not know him.

Uchiha Tenshi clenched his fists silently, "This makes no sense! I've lived in this world for so long—it's definitely the Ninja World!"

"Where did Bai Hu Zi come from? Or is Bai Hu Zi also a transmigrator? This joke is too absurd!"

Uchiha Tenshi's mind reeled, his face twisted in rage, teeth gritted at Yaguan, his frustration reaching its peak.

"I was truly only one step away from unifying the world..."

Yes, he really was only one step away.

At this critical moment, such chaos had suddenly erupted.

If not for his psychological resilience, honed through years of battle, he would have already spat blood.

"You really were only one step away from unifying the world."

"But can you, right here on this step, forever stop your progress..."

Su Han's calm voice suddenly sounded behind him, "And then, die in peace?"

Uchiha Tenshi's pupils shrank sharply, revealing the Mangekyō Sharingan within.

Su Han's fist, wrapped in Busōshoku Haki, struck suddenly toward Uchiha Tenshi's body—but in the next instant, he realized his attack had slowed fivefold.

A look of surprise surfaced on his face.

"... A Mangekyō ability with time properties?"

Uchiha Tenshi activated the Body Flicker Technique with a flash, reappearing ten meters away, and barked,

"Hashirama Senju! Move!"

Though Hashirama Senju resented being controlled by a Uchiha, he had no means to resist; his hands instantly formed a seal, and terrifying chakra surged forth.

"Young man, retreat as quickly as possible! The radius of my technique extends roughly one hundred meters! Beyond that is its weak point.

Attack me during the charging phase after I release it!"

Even as he unleashed the technique, Hashirama Senju rapidly revealed its weakness.

"Water Release."

"Water Shockwave!"

In response to Hashirama Senju's warning, Su Han merely smiled faintly.

"No need! I was just curious whether I could find a way to dispel... Impure World Reincarnation."

Su Han's gaze turned instantly icy as he extended his palm.

"Dark Barrier!"

Pitch-black radiance erupted from Su Han's palm and expanded forward.

The oncoming Water Shockwave vanished instantly, and the terrifying black light engulfed Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju's expression froze, a flicker of shock in his eyes.

"My body is dissolving... This sensation is Dust Release... No! Though the form of disappearance is similar, the essence is vastly different..."

The Second Hokage realized.

"If I must describe this power, it can only be called... the darkness that devours everything."

Gazing at Su Han, calm and composed before him as if he had done nothing, Hashirama Senju fell silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled in resignation.

"I truly... underestimated you."

"Even without warning you, you could have won effortlessly, couldn't you?"

Hashirama Senju's body gradually dissolved, his final words scattering in the wind.

"I never expected that upon returning to this world, I'd meet such a terrifyingly powerful young man.

It truly made me feel the strength my elder brother possessed... Remarkable..."

Uchiha Tenshi froze completely, staring blankly as Hashirama Senju vanished entirely.

He swallowed hard, even questioning whether he was under some genjutsu.

That was the Second Hokage! Even he had no confidence of victory against him.

No matter the opponent, the Second Hokage could at least hold his own for a few strikes—how could he be instantly obliterated? "Next, it's your turn!"
