Chapter 162: Battle Is Boring — Fishing Is Much More Fun

Magical Girl Illya: "......The top members in the guild are all so strong."

My Sister Is Too Cute: "I think this is actually normal."

Accelerator: "Of course it's normal! Don't forget, back then at the Summit Battle, how many points were awarded... This battle alone rewards a full 60,000 points! Even if the point amount varies, it doesn't necessarily reflect pure difficulty! But at least it proves something."

Accelerator: "Not to mention, I remember this mission also includes a task function reward besides the point bonus."

"It's probably a check-in feature."

Sōsuke Aizen: "What a pity! I didn't participate in this battle."

Sōsuke Aizen: "I really want to see just how powerful that villain—Uchiha Madara, whose charisma rivals my own—is! And the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan..."

Ichigo Kurosaki: "Thank goodness Aizen didn't come this time! Otherwise, I fear the Naruto world might truly face serious trouble."

Ichigo Kurosaki: "Who knows what Aizen might do out of personal desire—forcibly seizing the Tailed Beasts... Even if he doesn't take the Nine-Tails, taking any other Tailed Beast would surely cause major conflicts."

Sōsuke Aizen: "......"

Sōsuke Aizen: "Ichigo Kurosaki, you have a serious misunderstanding of me! I'm only curious about these things."

"I just want to study them... And if I truly wanted them, I'd only take them with mutual consent—never by force."

Ichigo Kurosaki: "Using your Kyōka Suigetsu to make someone agree, Aizen... I know your moves and methods inside and out!"

Sōsuke Aizen: "Ichigo Kurosaki, you're too hostile toward me! That hostility blinds you completely."

Ichigo Kurosaki: "I *am* hostile! But I still believe my hostility is justified."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "After all, it's Aizen..."

Kuroko Shirai: "Seeing the tension in the guild, I can only tremble in fear..."

Su Xiao: "This battle truly exceeded expectations! But I feel it's not so bad."

"The elders shouldn't be under much pressure!"

Su Xiao: "Now, Whitebeard faces off against Uchiha Madara! Whitebeard pins Madara to the ground and gives him a thorough beating."

Su Xiao: "Madara at his peak was hard to judge."

"But right now, Madara is far from his prime! Plus, he's forcibly controlled by Uchiha Ten, lacking mobility... Against Whitebeard, he has absolutely no chance of victory."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "I think the same."

Kuroko Shirai: "Um... President, may I timidly ask a question?"

Su Xiao: "Go ahead."

Kuroko Shirai: "Watching the video, Old Man Hashirama Senju clashed head-on with Whitebeard, while facing Uchiha Madara."

"Little Black Cat is live-streaming the footage."

"And the Fourth Hokage, along with Nagato from the Uzumaki clan, are nowhere to be seen... Where are you, Elder?"

Su Xiao: "Nagato and the Fourth Uchiha Madara are already there!"

Su Xiao: "As for me? I'm happily fishing around! Also, maybe sneak into Uchiha Ten's base."

Yuki Itosaka: "......"

Accelerator: "......"

Daoist Immortal Zhang Sanfeng: "......"

Time Manipulator Akemi Yamagami: "......"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "I feel my old man must have countless words he wants to say right now."

Su Xiao: "On the contrary, I think Whitebeard must be thrilled to fight such a formidable opponent!"

Become My Son: "Thrilled? Pfft!"

Whitebeard's sudden appearance startled many present, causing them to instinctively look toward the livestream.

It turned out that Whitebeard was still in the midst of battle, wildly beating up Uchiha Madara.

Yuki Tachibana: "No way... Old Man Whitebeard, how are you managing to fight while also farming the guild?"

Become My Son: "Just practice multitasking! Besides, the限时 battle zone doesn't require much effort from me right now."

Become My Son: "Uchiha Madara is truly strong! Even in this less-than-peak state, he can match a Four Emperors."

But that's all.

Become My Son: "He can't withstand my fists! The only annoying thing is... he just won't die! And I'm not skilled in sealing techniques."

I Am Hou Jue: "......I thought the same thing."

Su Han watched the two bubbling away inside the guild, his brow twitching slightly before he turned his gaze toward the real world.

Whitebeard needed no further explanation—his fists were wrapped in Armament Haki, infused with the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, relentlessly pounding Uchiha Madara’s body.

Each strike inevitably shattered Madara’s body into pieces.

Even as Madara rapidly regenerated using his Impure World Reincarnation ability, he would be instantly pulverized by Whitebeard’s next punch.

On the other side,

Hou Jue Woban’s expression remained cold, terrifying cursed energy radiating from his body, nearly solidifying into substance.

He activated his divine authority, summoning one... after another... giant wolves of divine beast rank, charging outward in all directions.

These... utterly terrifying giants, with a single bite, crushed the wood-based trees created by Wood Release, and no matter how densely the trees were arranged, they could never get close to Hou Jue Woban’s body.

Moreover, Hou Jue Woban simultaneously activated his Dead Zone domain, summoning forth those... beings he had once killed.

Among them were even cultivators at the Great Knight realm.

Now summoned from the Underworld.

This divine power, honestly, bore a striking resemblance to Impure World Reincarnation.

Yet unlike Impure World Reincarnation, maintaining these... Great Knights required Hou Jue Woban to expend an enormous amount of cursed energy.

At this moment, the powerful beings summoned by Hou Jue Woban surged forward en masse, clashing fiercely with Senju Hashirama.

Su Han rubbed his temple, beginning to vaguely understand the feelings of both Hou Jue Woban and Whitebeard.

They had indeed started with battle spirit, but that spirit gradually faded over time.

Facing an opponent who couldn’t be killed no matter how hard they fought, it might have been interesting at first, but soon became utterly boring.

"Alright, fishing around has gone on long enough!"

Su Han slowly rose to his feet, then stretched his body.

He suddenly locked eyes on Uchiha Ten, currently being protected by Senju Tobirama.

Flash Step activated instantly, directly crossing infinite distance.

"Now, it’s time to end the true source of this battle!"

small

Uchiha Ten was staring intently at the battlefield, his expression shifting uncontrollably.

His entire worldview had collapsed in an instant.

"What on earth is going on... Why did my perfect plan suddenly turn into this? My plan was flawless!"

Originally, Uchiha Ten's plan was extremely simple and clear.

He had made a pact with Uchiha Obito, ultimately obtaining the corpse of White Zetsu from Obito, then using that corpse to summon the First and Second Hokage, as well as Madara Uchiha.

Afterward, he would spend time refining the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Only then could he truly control the First, Second, and Madara Uchiha through the technique.

At that point, these three powerful figures, fully under his command, would be enough to subdue the entire world, allowing him to become the true king of the Naruto world.

Truly unifying the Naruto world—whether aiming to become its undisputed ruler and do as he pleased, or collecting the Nine Tailed Beasts to become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails—was all within reach.

But reality slapped him hard.

First, his actions were unexpectedly discovered by the current head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha, forcing him to begin his operation prematurely.

Then, when he thought victory was certain, Whitebeard and Count Volban suddenly appeared and brutally beat down the incomplete summons of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Perhaps Count Volban.

Uchiha Ten wasn’t very familiar with him, but Whitebeard—the legendary Emperor among the Four Emperors who once stood equal to the Hokage—had a reputation so fearsome it was terrifying.

He couldn’t possibly not know him.

Uchiha Ten clenched his fists tightly in silence, “It makes no sense! I’ve lived in this world for so long—it’s definitely the Naruto world!”

“Where did Whitebeard even come from? Or is Whitebeard also a time traveler? This joke is too big!”

Uchiha Ten’s mind was in chaos, his face twisted in agony, teeth gritted in utter despair.

“I was just one step away from unifying the world…”

Yes, he really was only one step away.

At such a critical moment, this sudden chaos erupted.

If it weren’t for his iron will, forged over years of battle, he would have already spat blood.

“You’re indeed just one step away from unifying the world.”

“But can you stop your steps right here… and quietly die?”

Su Han’s calm voice suddenly rang out behind him, “Then go peacefully to your death.”

Uchiha Ten’s pupils contracted sharply, revealing the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Su Han launched a fist wrapped in Armament Haki directly at Uchiha Ten’s body—but in the next instant, he realized his attack against Uchiha Ten slowed down fivefold.

A look of surprise flashed across his face.

“...A Mangekyō ability with time manipulation?”

Uchiha Ten instantly activated Body Flicker Technique, appearing ten meters away, letting out a low shout:

“Hashirama Senju! Attack now!”

Even though Hashirama Senju was unwilling to be controlled by an Uchiha, he had no choice now—he pressed his palms together, and immense chakra surged forth.

“Young man, strike from the shortest interval possible! The range of this technique spans roughly 100 meters. Beyond 100 meters is the weakest point.”

“Wait until I finish my attack and enter my wind-up phase—then strike me.”

Even while releasing the attack, Hashirama Senju spoke rapidly, exposing the weakness of his technique.

“Water Release.”

“Water Shockwave!”

Facing Hashirama Senju’s warning, Su Han merely chuckled silently.

“No need! I’d actually like to test whether I can somehow break... Impure World Reincarnation.”

Su Han’s gaze instantly turned icy cold as he extended his hand.

“Dark Binding Realm!”

A dark glow suddenly erupted from Su Han’s palm, spreading forward.

The incoming Water Shockwave vanished instantly, and terrifying black light enveloped Hashirama Senju’s body.

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

“My body is dissolving... This sensation—it’s Dust Release... No! Though the form of disappearance is similar, the essence is entirely different…”

The Second Hokage finally came to his senses.

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

Staring at Su Han, who stood before him calmly as if doing nothing, Hashirama Senju remained silent for a moment—then suddenly smiled in resignation.

“Truly... I underestimated you earlier.”

“Even without my warning, you’d have won effortlessly.”

Hashirama Senju’s body gradually faded away, his final words drifting in the wind.

“Never thought that returning to the real world this time would lead me to such a formidable young man.”

“I truly felt the same overwhelming power that my older brother once possessed... remarkable...”

Uchiha Ten was utterly stunned, staring blankly as Hashirama Senju completely disappeared.

He swallowed hard, even beginning to doubt whether he was caught in some illusion.

That was the Second Hokage! Even he didn’t have full confidence in defeating him.

No matter how strong the opponent, the Second Hokage should at least be able to fight a few moves—how could he be killed in an instant?! “Now it’s your turn!”
