Chapter 1049

When Hatake Sakumo's gaze looked toward him, the "Kirigakure leader's" heart jumped slightly.

A ninja's intuition told him that something bad was about to happen.

Looking at Sakumo's calm eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water, he suddenly understood something in his heart.

"He's going to risk his life!"

The Kirigakure leader said suddenly.

Following his words, a terrifying chakra erupted from Hatake Sakumo's body.

This chakra radiated from Hatake Sakumo to the surroundings, and a deathly aura made the ninja who were hostile to Sakumo feel a silence in their hearts.

"Die."

Sakumo raised his blade with one arm and spat out two words coldly.

The indifferent and ruthless words were like the judgment of the Grim Reaper; following this cold voice, Hatake Sakumo's figure disappeared from the spot.

"Clang!!!!"

In an instant, only countless dazzling blade lights remained in this world.

Each blade light radiated an aura of destruction, because this was the full-strength strike of a Kage-level powerhouse!

One, two...

Countless sharp blade lights slashed toward the "Kirigakure ninja," and a look of fear flashed in their eyes.

These blade lights were too many and too fast!!!

"Pfft!!!"

The blade light flashed, and flesh and blood flew.

The "Kirigakure ninja" who were previously able to surround and even devour Hatake Sakumo were killed in seconds by Hatake Sakumo in a single round!

"Defend quickly!"

The "Kirigakure leader" shouted loudly.

But his words seemed somewhat powerless at this moment.

Because in front of this blade light, all defensive ninjutsu appeared as fragile and powerless as a piece of white paper.

"Clang!!!"

The blade light flashed, and death followed.

The previously aggressive Kirigakure ninja now seemed to have turned into lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"I know!"

"He used a secret technique!"

"He can't last long, soon he will..."

The Kirigakure leader revealed a look of sudden realization, and he hurriedly shouted to his companions beside him.

But before he could finish his words, his voice came to an abrupt end.

"Pfft."

Blood now dyed his eyes red...

He only felt his body floating, and without any pain, he lost consciousness forever.

"Is that so..."

"That's fine."

A look of relief flashed in the Kirigakure leader's eyes, and then he closed his eyes forever.

The slaughter continued.

As Hatake Sakumo spared no effort to perform the secret technique, his strength had already reached a level that these "Kirigakure ninja" could not imagine.

But all of this undoubtedly had a price.

This price was—Hatake Sakumo's life!

Undoubtedly, Sakumo was a well-deserved genius!

His talent was even stronger than that of the "legendary Sannin."

"Hatake," in Konoha, was just an inconspicuous small ninja clan.

It had neither the powerful Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha, Hyuga, or Kurama clans.

Nor did it have the unique secret techniques of the Aburame, Akimichi, or Nara clans.

It was not even as good as the Sarutobi or Shimura clans, which had powerful summoning beast legacies.

The inheritance of the Hatake clan was pitifully small.

Therefore, the resources for cultivating juniors and clansmen were naturally very meager.

Under these circumstances, the resources available to Hatake Sakumo were limited.

But even so, Sakumo still relied on his own talent and used limited resources to walk a path of strength unique to himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a Hatake Sakumo had even more talent than the "Sannin," who had famous teachers and massive resource support.

How strong was Sakumo's talent?

I'm afraid no one could say clearly.

The secret technique Sakumo was performing right now came from an accidental opportunity many years ago.

Hatake Sakumo was born at the end of the ninja world's chaos, and by the time he initially grew up, it was the era when the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was in charge of Konoha.

The ability of the Second Hokage naturally goes without saying.

Whether it was Konoha's politics, economy, or the basic foundation of ninjutsu and military development.

Everything was set by the Second Hokage during his administration of Konoha.

Especially the ninjutsu development ability of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was absolutely a powerful existence that dominated the entire ninja world.

It can be said that without the Second Hokage, the direction of the entire ninja world would have been completely rewritten.

And the ninjutsu invented by Senju Tobirama in his lifetime were countless, and those with powerful effects and famous reputations were also numerous.

Among them, the young Hatake Sakumo once had the good fortune to watch from the side when the Second Hokage was developing a certain ninjutsu.

Hatake Sakumo had an extremely deep impression of this ninjutsu.

What he didn't know was that this technique, which was still "unknown" now, would become famous throughout the ninja world in the future and almost prematurely create a "grand finale."

The name of this technique was—Eight Inner Gates!

Due to certain reasons, Hatake Sakumo did not have the opportunity to learn the Eight Inner Gates.

But because he had watched some of the processes of the Second Hokage developing this ninjutsu, Hatake Sakumo was inspired by it.

Based on some principles of the Eight Inner Gates, he developed a ninjutsu with similar effects but more severe side effects.

To use the Eight Inner Gates, not only does it require strict training, but it also puts a great burden on the body.

The side effects of the technique developed by Hatake Sakumo himself were several times stronger than the Eight Inner Gates.

Therefore, when this technique was originally developed, it was passed over by Sakumo in his heart, and he never thought he would use it one day.

Therefore, Sakumo didn't even give this technique a name.

But never did he expect that one day, Sakumo would use it... ===== CHAPTER 1051 =====
