I, a cultivator, ended up in the Naruto world.

With the Hokage's assistance, the Dark Ninja of Konoha is currently crawling in the shadows underground.

Danzo covered the wound on his severed arm, his gaze so gloomy it could drip water.

How could an ordinary, unremarkable imp with a thousand hands possess such power?

He considered himself one of Konoha's top fighters, and believed he could even put up a fight against Hiruzen Sarutobi.

I can fight the strongest Hokage, so why can I only run away in a sorry state in front of a Senju brat who just graduated?

What's more, this kid's graduation grade was only a mere "good".

To have such strength and the means to cover everything up...

He suddenly recalled the scene when Hiruzen Sarutobi righteously refused his offer to recruit Yang Xiang.

A chill ran through my heart.

Alright, Hiruzen!

You knew I would make a move, so you were waiting for me here!

How could you be so vicious!

Hiruzen Sarutobi – I think your time as Hokage is over!

Danzo planted the most vicious curse in his heart and fled towards the secret base.

The most urgent task is to deal with this severed arm.

···

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the severed arm from the ground.

...Is this an arm?

He frowned as he examined the dark, lumpy object in his hand.

This is clearly a lump of charcoal.

Thousand Hands isn't even going to act anymore.

Trying to fool yourself with something like this? You'll only get worse in the future!

He looked up and met Yang Xiang's gaze.

In the eyes of this young man from the Senju clan, there was not a trace of the reverence one should have for the Hokage.

Yang Xiang nodded to Uchiha Kagami and then told the Senju clan members to disperse.

He leaped to Tao Hua's side, ready to return home with his grandmother.

"???"

Seeing Yang Xiang's fearless demeanor, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of anger.

After making such a fuss, you think you can just pack up and leave?

Why leave him, the Hokage, here to whitewash things?

Just then, they caught a glimpse of Tsunade and Jiraiya, who had arrived late.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya—stop them!"

The two people who had just squeezed into the outer edge of the crowd were stunned by what they heard.

Huh? Me?!

Jiraiya couldn't help but glare at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Why don't you go yourself? Are you afraid of taking a punch from a superhuman?

He has never done anything to deserve this; you just beat him black and blue.

Do they really think he's some kind of toad immortal?

Even if he really was, Jiraiya felt that even if Fukasaku's father came, he would have a hard time taking that hit.

Hey, you know what?

In critical moments, men are often unreliable.

We still need our female comrades to step up.

Although Tsunade was unaware of what was going on, she still bravely stood in front of Yang Xiang because the Hokage had given the order.

Given her status and her relationship with Yang Xiang, shouldn't she at least give him some face?

"Yang Xiang, explain this to me, what's going on?"

She stared at Yang Xiang, her tone accusatory.

With so many clansmen gathered, and the Uchiha clan present—do you know how sensitive this is?

Yang Xiang's talent is a good thing, but his way of doing things...

Tsunade couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Yang Xiang did not explain.

He leaped to Tsunade's side and slapped her across the face.

A burst of blue light flashed.

This was the first time Hiruzen Sarutobi had witnessed Yang Xiang's monstrous strength in person.

In just one move, Tsunade learned the Inuzuka family's "Toothache Tooth" technique—smashing through several large trees and plunging straight into the ground.

They both used the same super-powerful punch, but the difference was so great that Tsunade didn't even have time to react.

Just a few months ago, they were evenly matched.

Say goodbye to all your troubles!

Tsunade seemed to hear a cheerful song in her ears, and then fell into a deep sleep to the melody.

Jiraiya, who was about to step forward to provide assistance, panicked instantly.

Who knows?!

What kind of redemption is it to rush up to support your teammates, and then watch them "die" right in front of you?

Jiraiya immediately raised his hand!

As long as I lift it fast enough, I won't lose!

However, Yang Xiang didn't let him go. After swatting Tsunade away, he swung his hand back—

A streak of cyan sword energy shot out, narrowly missing Jiraiya between his legs and precisely piercing his crotch.

Jiraiya collapsed to the ground, curled up in a ball, his face covered in cold sweat.

That was close... by a hair's breadth.

Yang Xiang really wanted to kill him—no, this was more painful than killing him.

Since becoming a ninja, Jiraiya believed himself to be fearless and unafraid of death.

But at that moment he suddenly realized that there are many things in life more important than death.

If you should vote, then vote; don't be stubborn.

The sword energy pierced through a large tree, plunging diagonally into the ground and slicing a bloody gash near Luo Sha's leg. Blood gushed out.

!!!

The Sand Ninja instantly shrank even further.

Luo Sha: ...Who can make peanuts for me!

They came to see Konoha make a fool of themselves, but they never expected to become the fool themselves.

Yang Xiang glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose face was grim, and then led the Senju ninja away.

---

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood frozen in place.

His attack on Tsunade was merely a display of Yang Xiang's true strength.

But that sword energy...

It is a wind-style ninjutsu without hand seals, extremely fast, and with tremendous destructive power.

At this moment, he understood perfectly well that the Mist Ninja force outside the village was not dealt with by Uchiha Kagami at all.

It's Yang Xiang.

He wanted to stop them, but his feet were rooted to the spot.

Has their stance changed?

No.

With both feet off the ground, intelligence has regained its dominance.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unsure whether he could defeat Yang Xiang.

Moreover, his strongest summoning technique, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Summoning Technique, would most likely be countered by his opponent.

---

Of all those present, only Uchiha Kagami had witnessed Yang Xiang's attack.

With his Sharingan, he could barely make out that the sword energy was not the same as the technique he had used before.

—I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person.

He had no intention of dealing with his old teammates, so he said goodbye and hurriedly led his people away.

The most urgent task is to go back and find those old fogies in the clan to change the rules.

Why can't the Uchiha and Senju clans marry?

Do you know how many lovers have been harmed by this backward thinking?

---

[Host detected defeating sect elder, achievement completed: Underdog defeats superior]

[Reward Distribution: The True Solution to Puppetry]

Yang Xiang heard the familiar system notification sound.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

—Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

Puppetry is a very useful skill.

Unlike the puppetry of the Sand Ninja, the puppetry techniques in the cultivation world possess a certain degree of self-movement ability.

It's not a dream that Terminators will take over the ninja world in the future.

Once he masters puppetry, he can greatly compensate for the current lack of mid-level combat power in the Senju clan.

The only concern is the power source; where will we get the spirit stones?

With something on his mind, Yang Xiang went straight to his room after returning home, leaving Tao Hua speechless.

The Thousand Hands Ninjas appeared one after another in Yang Xiang's mansion.

They had just as many doubts as others, but they had to pretend to be experts just now out of pride.

The Thousand Hands Ninja's inner monologue: This is different from what my son said.

Some of them were even thinking, "If you had said you were this strong, you shouldn't have stood so high earlier."

Tao Hua waved helplessly at the gazes of the crowd.

She didn't know either; she thought her grandson's strength was just enough for a Jonin.

Otherwise, there would be no need to rush out like this.
