In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"Would I become a rogue ninja like you, hiding and being hunted down by the entire ninja world?"

"And who gave you the audacity to come to Konoha to recruit the future Fifth Hokage?"

A furious shout suddenly came from afar.

It was Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Shimura Danzo, and Yuhi Kurenai, along with a group of Anbu ninjas, who had just been at the Hokage Building and rushed over after receiving the news.

"The...the Fifth Hokage?"

Even Itachi Uchiha nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets.

The boy who was just a genin is now being promoted to Hokage?

Is it really possible for someone that young to become Hokage?

This is something that Danzo and his group of power-hungry old guys are capable of doing.

Could it be that everyone has been cursed by Kotoamatsukami?

"That's right. Natsuki has saved Konoha from disaster several times in recent years and is loved by all the villagers of Konoha. Even the Ninja Academy has his deeds passed down. His strength and prestige are at their peak."

"He is the perfect candidate to be Hokage."

Mitokado Yan said with a smile.

Danzo, however, deliberately gave a cold snort.

"You ants should be glad that you have never deeply felt the majesty of heaven."

"With such weak strength, they probably couldn't even defeat my junior members, yet they dare to recruit the supreme Lord of the End Dimension."

Xia Mu hovered high in the sky, looking down indifferently.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let it slide since this is your first offense. But if you dare to make the same mistake again, you will be punished by heaven, and your bodies and souls will be annihilated."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Kisame Hoshigaki: "..."

Mitokado Yan: "..."

Xiaochun, who switched dorms: "..."

After hearing these words, everyone on the ground, friend or foe, looked at each other in bewilderment and remained stunned for a long while.

"Haha, sorry, my brother has always loved to joke around since he was little, I was just kidding with you guys."

Kurenai's face was burning hot, so she quickly laughed it off and explained.

In front of so many important figures, Xia Mu suddenly had another episode.

As the older sister, I really wish I could dig a hole and crawl into it.

But the elders are all here. If we offend these people, my brother will be in big trouble in the future.

Let alone becoming Hokage.

Furthermore, with Xia Mu's personality, he absolutely cannot become Hokage. Otherwise, he'll be sold out by these old guys without even knowing it.

"Haha, Xia Mu really loves to joke."

"As his older sister, you need to teach him to be more restrained in the future. He can't act so childishly after he becomes Hokage."

Mitokado Homura forced an ugly smile and said to Yuhi Kurenai.

Kurenai nodded repeatedly, humbly accepting the lesson, and quickly admitted her brother's mistake.

"Is this the guy who was dominating us just now?"

Kisame Hoshigaki asked with a grim expression.

"Hmm, from what they're saying, he's probably going to become Hokage soon? I wonder what those old guys are up to this time."

"Let's retreat first, or we'll be in trouble if we get surrounded."

Uchiha Itachi was also completely bewildered, utterly confused by Natsuki.

"Yes, Mr. Itachi!"

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded. His hands once again transformed into afterimages.

"Be careful, those rogue ninjas are about to launch a sneak attack."

The ANBU ninjas who had been watching from a distance shouted a warning and simultaneously formed a fan shape to surround them.

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

A massive torrent of water surged forth, instantly transforming the area into a vast expanse of water.

Kisame continued unleashing a second advanced ninjutsu without stopping:

"Water Release: Thousand Food Sharks!"

Countless sharks appeared in this vast ocean, charging madly towards the group of dark agents.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"

The ANBU ninjas used their best ninjutsu to drive away the surging sharks.

However, the large number of vicious sharks in the water put them in grave danger in a short period of time.

This time, Kisame Hoshigaki's all-out attack finally made the elders and the ANBU realize the enemy's strength.

This guy alone has the strength to wipe out dozens of elite ninjas.

And next to him was Uchiha Itachi, whose fearsome reputation was even greater, and who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Most importantly, such a powerful combination.

　427 The situation just now was that Xia Mu was indeed suppressing and beating them.

Putting aside everything else, this young man's strength is definitely at the level of a village's Kage.

"Great Brightness Divine Fist!"

A voice as powerful as the heavens rang out, and a dazzling golden fist shadow crashed down.

Amidst a tremendous roar, nearly a hundred sharks were reduced to dust.

A temporary circular airspace was created on the wide expanse of water.

Instead of retreating, Uchiha Itachi advanced rapidly, leaping towards the dozen or so Anbu ninjas who had circled around him.

"Danger! Retreat!"

A member of the Anbu, whose Byakugan was activated, shouted loudly from behind.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

A strong surge of chakra emanated from Itachi Uchiha.

Its entire body suddenly exploded, and the huge shockwave shattered the water surface within dozens of meters around it.

It was about to devour the dozen or so closest ninjas.

"Heavenly Guidance!"

Xia Mu's voice rang out again.

More than ten ANBU members immediately felt an irresistible pull, dragging them back quickly to avoid Itachi Uchiha's Shadow Clone Explosion.

This delay also caused Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki to disappear from everyone's sight.

"We were actually saved."

"It was Natsuki-kun who saved us."

"Thank you... thank you, Lord Natsuki."

"Sigh, we came here but didn't help at all, we actually made things worse."

At this moment, the surviving members of the Dark Guard in this area expressed their gratitude, saying that if it weren't for Xia Mu and the others, they would have perished in the explosion.

The Shadow Clone Explosion is one of the most unexpected and cruelest ninjutsu.

Injure one thousand enemies, and self-inflict eight hundred.

Afterwards, the caster must endure the memory of the shadow clone—the pain of being shattered to pieces.

159: Natsuki angrily spews Mitokado Inoue, Danzo secretly rejoices. These two siblings' words are too creepy.

Then Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki fled.

The area gradually calmed down.

The vast ocean created by the water-style ninjutsu slowly disappeared.

"Is everyone okay?"

With the battle decided, the elders rushed over. Koharu Utatane helped up several wounded ANBU ninjas and asked them with feigned concern.

"With Lord Xia Mu here, we are all safe."

"Kakashi is still unconscious, and Asuma has suffered serious injuries."
