Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

"Ninjutsu. Vacuum Field."

He used the vacuum field for the second time and trapped Hashirama again. Sasuke had basically secured victory at this point.

He also noticed that close combat with Hashirama was not a good option. He could just slowly wear down the ninja god.

To be honest, if it was the ninja world before Aoba appeared, if someone said that they could kill Hashirama, the entire ninja world would laugh their heads off.

But now Sasuke does have this ability. He is even a member of the Uchiha clan who is not good at long-term battles.

The battle had reached this point, and Aoba was ready to take action. The test was over, and the next step was to capture Hashirama and try to figure out the secret of whether this guy was dead or alive.

The Six Paths Sage could play with life and death so easily. If that was the case, Qingye would be ready to surrender now. That would mean he would definitely lose.

But it was still obvious that the opponent only used this power on Hashirama. He had not yet fully mastered this ability.

However, just as Aoba was about to take action and capture Hashirama.

he died.

Silently and without any signs, he died on the spot. This was undoubtedly the work of the Six Paths Sage. The other party obviously didn't want Hashirama to fall into Aoba's hands again.

In Aoba's eyes, he only felt a little sad. Hashirama was once known as the God of Ninja. He was a figure who dominated an era.

But in the hands of the other party, he was dead and alive, alive and dead. Not to mention his body, spirit, and even his life, he had no freedom at all. He was even worse than a puppet.

If he didn't expose all this, one day in the future, all the ninjas in the ninja world would become like this. This world would become the amusement park of the Six Paths Sage. This was something Aoba could never accept.

Hashirama's body slowly turned into a pool of ashes in front of Aoba. But Aoba knew that one day in the future, this ninja god would be resurrected again. He was now just a tool without his own thoughts.

On the other side, Kakashi and Obito had a one-on-one duel in the Kamui Space.

It was similar to the duel in the original plot. Neither of them had the ability to use the Kamui Samsara Eye. They only used the most basic ninjutsu and taijutsu.

However, this time, Kakashi directly crushed Obito.

Although Obito's body was reshaped and strengthened by the Six Paths Sage.

But Kakashi is even more powerful. In addition to the chakra enhancement of the outer garment, his body has also been strengthened by Hashirama's cells.

Moreover, as a high-ranking official in Konoha, Kakashi enjoyed a higher level of enhancement. A team of dozens of people customized a professional enhancement process based on the detailed data of his body, which perfectly made up for all of Kakashi's weaknesses.

Moreover, Konoha is now full of masters. The research institute has also integrated the training data of almost all Konoha masters and compiled a complete set of training "secrets."

As a senior leader, Kakashi can view all the "secret books" and learn to supplement himself.

In Konoha's crazy inward-looking atmosphere, he is no longer the lazy elite jonin he once was.

After just a few rounds, Obito was knocked to the ground by Kakashi with a look of doubt on his face.

"Why......"

"what why?"

"Why have you become so strong now? But you didn't try to do anything for Lin? She died in your hands."

Obito launched a mental attack, which made Kakashi stunned for a moment. His movements also slowed down a beat.

"Obito, Rin is dead!"

"Yes, I know. That's why we have to do something."

"What? Revive her? Obito, reviving Rin isn't that simple."

Although Konoha resurrected many people at this time, they all had special conditions. Konoha could not revive a person who was not in the belly of the god of death and whose soul was in the Pure Land and was controlled by the Six Paths Sage.

"Shut up, just shut up. Lin won't die, she will come back to life. Look at Senju Hashirama, he died more than once. He was able to come back every time. Lin will definitely be able to do it too."

"Obito, you think too simply. Have you ever thought about one thing, is the resurrected Rin still the same Rin from before? Is she the one we know?"

"Shut up, Kakashi, do you think I don't know? Kamikawa Aoba resurrected the first Hokage and others. They were able to resurrect..."

"That's different. The souls of Naruto and his friends were rescued from the bodies of the Shinigami. They were purified by the Shinigami. But Rin's soul is in the Pure Land, and the Pure Land is no longer controlled by the Shinigami."

Obito was silent. Didn't he know what Kakashi said? How could it be possible? The information Obito knew should be second only to Aoba's.

This guy inherited the legacy of Uchiha Madara, then secretly cooperated with Black Zetsu, and now he is cooperating with the Six Paths Sage.

Although he always seemed to be fooled, in fact, he never suffered a big loss. It can only be said that this kid is very persistent and often seems a little stupid. But in fact, he is not stupid at heart, at least he is much smarter than he looks.

He was just too paranoid. He was so paranoid that he only wanted to see what he wanted to see. Therefore, he ignored too much obvious information.

And after Lin's death, there was no one around him whom he could trust.

He has always been afraid to face Kakashi. Although he openly resented Kakashi, in fact, he was actually a little afraid to face Kakashi.

Because their common bond is Rin. Facing Kakashi means facing the pain of losing Rin again.

Obito didn't want to endure that kind of pain, so he always avoided it.

Until today, due to various coincidences and even deliberate arrangements, he finally met Kakashi face to face again.
