Chapter 184: Let this True Several Thousand Hands announce the end of the old era!
Naruto felt that the speed of Hidden Leaf Village's reconstruction was a bit slow, so he had them shift their focus to moving people and property.
Many people were dissatisfied, thinking Naruto was just giving blind orders, but pressured by Naruto's formidable strength, no one dared to voice their opposition.
What, do you think you can go toe-to-toe with that thirty-meter-tall big guy?
Don't make your brother Naruto laugh.
The Wood Golem you saw was only thirty meters tall because your brother Naruto was afraid that if he used a Wood Golem on the scale of the True Several Thousand Hands, it would crush Hiashi and the others below to death.
Mountains are nothing more than dirt mounds before the True Several Thousand Hands.
If it really came to a fight, it would be like this: you're level fifty and think you can enter a raid, but once you're inside, hey, it's a level two hundred raid.
And it's the kind where just running across the map to see the boss takes several minutes, and the map you're running on is actually the enemy's technique, which can also attack you.
Important documents, scrolls, medical equipment, research data, food reserves... everything of value was given priority for transfer.
There were too many wounded, so Naruto even sent out Shadow Clones to the hospital to provide treatment.
For those who hadn't spoken ill of him, he used the Mystical Palm Technique and the Delicately Targeted Extraction Technique to treat them; for those who had, he used the Life-Reducing Regeneration Technique.
Since the Life-Reducing Regeneration Technique achieves rapid healing by overdrawing the body's vitality, those people thought Naruto was returning good for evil to heal them quickly. One by one, they thanked him incessantly and cursed themselves for not being decent human beings in the past.
Fortunately, Hidden Leaf Village is the moral benchmark for villagers in Japanese manga, and the local customs are simple and honest.
Many of the remaining people recovered very quickly.
Three hours later.
All Hidden Leaf Village residents and Ninja had been moved outside the village, and even the wounded were transferred along with them.
The most important things in Naruto's home were just those few bouquets of flowers carrying memories.
He also gave Sasuke a self-made sealing scroll to use for moving. Although Sasuke didn't care, the Uchiha heritage was far too abundant.
After everyone had finished moving, Naruto arrived at the center of Konoha Village.
He closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the Sealing Space.
Naruto's conscious form locked eyes with the Nine-Tailed.
"Kurama, it's time to get some exercise."
The Nine-Tailed grinned widely.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Naruto's conscious form slowly floated up and peeled off the paper talisman on the Nine-Tailed's sealing gate.
The Chakra left behind by Minato was instantly sealed by Naruto using Chakra Sealing Jutsu the moment it woke up.
"Let's go, Kurama!"
Naruto lifted his shirt with his left hand and placed his right hand on the Seal, giving it a twist.
The lock cylinder of the sealing gate made a sound.
Naruto's conscious form turned his back to the Nine-Tailed and spread his arms wide.
The gate imprisoning the Nine-Tailed slowly opened.
In the real world, the body of the original Naruto, standing in the center of the Hidden Leaf Village ruins, suddenly jolted!
Golden Chakra light erupted from within him, soaring into the sky.
The light quickly contracted and took shape, finally condensing on his body into a set of burning, flame-like Chakra raiment in the form of a great cloak.
The edges of the raiment drifted with flocculent tail-flames formed of Chakra, his Aura becoming terrifying.
Since he hadn't learned Sage Mode, Naruto's eyes simply turned into vertical slits like Kurama's.
Uzumaki Naruto, Kurama Link Mode, makes his grand entrance!
Under the astonished, shocked, and even fearful gazes of everyone, Naruto, clad in golden Chakra raiment with eyes transformed into golden vertical slits, soared into the sky like a golden Heavenly God breaking free from the earth's shackles, hovering directly above the Hidden Leaf Village ruins.
The sunlight spilled over him, making the golden Chakra raiment shine brilliantly, forming a piercing contrast with the scarred and scorched earth below.
He slowly raised his right hand.
"Let this Great Rasenshuriken announce the end of the old era!"
The new era is the era of Uzumaki Naruto, the era of Hidden Leaf Village's new generation.
All decay vanishes here, and the prologue of a new world begins from this moment!
This is a local souvenir for the departure (crossed out).
This is a parting gift to the old era.
Background music had already begun to play automatically in Naruto's mind.
The uninhabited azure sea tries to swallow~
The prosperity and splendor in my dreams~
A mirage is so much like a fairy tale~
Carved into the passing years in my eyes~
Above his palm, Chakra condensed.
The air began to warp, and light seemed to be swallowed as a pitch-black sphere, deep as a black hole in the Universe yet with destructive energy ripples flowing at its edges, silently began to condense, rotate, and expand.
Two astral rings appeared beside the sphere.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
Great Rasenshuriken!
That terrifying power, representing annihilation and the return to nothingness, emitted a pressure that made the Soul tremble. Even the people watching from far outside the village felt a surge of palpitations and suffocation.
"That is...!"
Beside the temporary medical point, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just woken up and was being supported to observe the situation, snapped his cloudy old eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the black sphere in the sky.
With his vast experience, he instantly recognized that this was by no means an ordinary Ninjutsu.
Standing beside him, Jiraiya's expression changed drastically!
He seemed to realize that what Naruto wanted was not reconstruction, but... total destruction and rebirth!
"Old Man, don't look!"
Jiraiya instinctively reached out, wanting to cover the Third Hokage's eyes to prevent him from witnessing the scene that was about to unfold, which might overturn the beliefs of his entire life.
However, the Third Hokage jerked his head aside and glared back with all his strength!
There was no fear or anger in his eyes; instead, there was a strange mix of pain, relief, and final acceptance.
"Don't stop me, Jiraiya!"
The Third Hokage's voice was hoarse yet exceptionally firm.
"I know... I know what Naruto wants to do."
He looked at the blonde youth in the sky who resembled a deity, and at the black sphere symbolizing destruction. The wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out a bit at this moment.
"This is... a good thing!"
He seemed to see through the cold and decisive intention behind Naruto's action.
To use absolute power to erase all the scars, filth, decayed Foundations, and the unfair past of the old Hidden Leaf Village.
Only upon that piece of absolute nothingness and ruins could a truly brand-new, fair Hidden Leaf Village belonging to the 'future' be established.
The Third Hokage also breathed a sigh of relief because he hadn't taken out his crystal ball.
It was good to have it physically destroyed directly; anyway, given his current physical condition, he wouldn't be able to use it anymore.
His reputation could be considered preserved.
As long as the crystal ball was destroyed, whoever wanted to be the controller of Hidden Leaf Village could go ahead and do it!
Just as the Third Hokage's words fell.
Naruto's right hand, which was holding up the Great Rasenshuriken, gently pressed downward.
The black sphere fell silently.
Time seemed to be stretched thin at this moment.
There was no deaf-shattering explosion.
Only an absolute, all-consuming silence and annihilation.
The instant the black sphere touched the ground, an indescribable singularity of extreme light and shadow suddenly erupted.
Following that was a silently expanding Domain of pure white destruction.
"Voom——"
An unnameable shockwave expanded in a spherical shape.
Under everyone's stunned gazes, the vast area where Konoha Village originally stood, along with the earth beneath it, the ruins, the debris, the lingering smoke... everything, within that pure white light, vanished, decomposed, and returned to nothingness, like a pencil drawing erased by the highest-grade eraser!
When the light dissipated and the dust settled.
In its place, there remained only a massive circular crater with smooth edges and an immeasurable diameter.
It was like a piece of flesh gouged out from the earth, or a brand left by a deity.
The former Konoha Village, all of its past, and all its physical traces were completely wiped out by this single strike.
