Almost instantly, as the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu on Senju Hashirama and the others began to disintegrate, the faces of everyone present instantly turned grim.
There was no helping it!
No one expected Jiraiya to be this powerful, unleashing such a massive technique right from the start. If he truly succeeded, while Konoha's strength might still dominate the Ninja World, it would nonetheless be forcefully reduced by a third.
Damn it, what should they do?
Everyone began to grit their teeth, but facing this kind of technique, they were momentarily at a loss as to how to stop it.
In fact, not only them, but even the few Edo Tensei Strongmen were stunned on the spot, able only to reveal helpless, bitter smiles.
Even Senju Tobirama, that genius of Ninjutsu development, though his brain was still spinning frantically, trying to think of a potential solution...
But it was useless!
He shook his head helplessly and ultimately chose to give up.
"Hokage-sama, take care!"
"The grand plan for the unification of the future Ninja World still depends entirely on you."
"We will silently pray for you from the Pure Land!"
Senju Hashirama suddenly spoke up and waved at Uchiha Jin. Although the others didn't speak, their gazes toward Uchiha Jin were full of expectation; clearly, everyone who had experienced war prayed for peace.
Jiraiya?
He was an exception!
A character tricked into foolishness by toads, he certainly couldn't be treated as a normal person.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The focus of everyone's attention, Uchiha Jin, furrowed his brows slightly, and then his Mangekyo began to spin frantically.
'Mangekyo Dōjutsu — Amanotokotachi!'
A line of blood tears streamed from his right eye, and his eye socket even began to throb with pain.
But the effect?
Immediate!
With the activation of this Dōjutsu, the bodies of the many Edo Tensei Strongmen that had already begun to disintegrate now seemed to have time reversed for them, recovering to their previous normal state in the blink of an eye.
"This..."
"What is happening? It's like time flowing backward."
"Amazing!"
"As expected of Hokage-sama!"
"I knew that no matter how difficult the situation, our Hokage-sama would be able to think of a solution!"
"Long live Hokage-sama!"
"..."
The crowd present spoke up one after another, their hearts filled with pride and self-importance. Especially when looking at Uchiha Jin, it was as if they were worshiping a true deity.
In fact, not only them, but even the few Edo Tensei Strongmen were full of shock at this moment.
Senju Tobirama's gaze toward Uchiha Jin was quite complex, though he was slightly better off than the others because he vaguely guessed that this should be Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Dōjutsu.
But...
That was the power of time!
As a master of forbidden jutsu, he was well aware of the terror of this thing.
Previously, he felt that being able to find inspiration from Summoning Jutsu and develop a space-time Ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God was exaggerated enough, and that was the real reason he hadn't thought much of the Uchiha in the past.
Except for Uchiha Madara, he didn't respect any other Uchiha!
But what about now?
Upon truly seeing a Dōjutsu capable of affecting time, at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.
After all, how long could this time reversal be maintained?
If pushed to the extreme, could it directly reverse time by decades?
Damn it!
His expression was somewhat ugly.
As a master of forbidden jutsu, he especially thought about whether, if Uchiha Jin could roam the river of time and return directly to the time of his own birth, it meant that Uchiha Jin could easily erase him?
Time...
This thing was far more terrifying than space, and it was almost unreasonable.
However, fortunately!
Uchiha Jin was now the Hokage, and he and the others were willing to support him, having no intention of becoming his enemy.
Everyone had no conflicts of interest, so they could barely be considered on the same side now.
Having figured this out, his expression improved slightly.
On the other side.
Uchiha Jin rubbed his swollen right eye, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Yes!
Although he had now awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and this consumption of Dōjutsu Power was quite exaggerated, he really didn't take it too seriously.
Although the Dōjutsu Power could recover, the pain was unavoidable!
Following this, a soft sigh.
In fact, if at all possible, he didn't want to expose his right eye's Dōjutsu too early.
Amanotokotachi...
This kind of Dōjutsu involving time was too exaggerated; even among the Ōtsutsuki, it was extremely rare, and one could even say it was a Dōjutsu that had never appeared before.
Although it was said that the treasure tool, Karasuki, belonging to Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could travel through time and space.
But in Uchiha Jin's view, it was more like entering a parallel space-time.
Otherwise...
If one really looked at it according to the timeline, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, Boruto, and Sasuke should have long appeared around Konoha Village.
He was the Hokage now; if such figures had truly appeared, how could they have been hidden from him?
Even taking a step back, the fluctuations from the battle between the three would have been huge, and since he had been staying in Konoha for a long time, if such a battle had truly occurred, it absolutely could not have been hidden from him.
But what about now?
That group of children including Naruto were already in the second grade and would be moving up to the third grade in the second half of the year, yet he still hadn't discovered Sasuke and the others arriving from the future. From this point of view, that treasure tool, Karasuki, only traveled through parallel space-time.
It was precisely because of this special situation that since he awakened the Mangekyo, he hadn't exposed it, no matter how difficult the situation he faced.
Now, however, that wouldn't work!
Although Hagoromo had not yet officially entered the field, the opposition between them was already a reality.
Laying low?
That was no longer possible!
An ant could hide, but Konoha was now an elephant; in the low grass of the Ninja World, the elephant that was Konoha simply could not be hidden.
Therefore, the upcoming unification war now seemed to need to be accelerated!
Anyway, he had already been discovered, so hiding was meaningless.
The same logic applied to the Edo Tensei Strongmen like Senju Hashirama; since the Six Paths Sage Hagoromo had already taken notice of him, he absolutely could not let Senju Hashirama and the others return to the Pure Land...
Otherwise, they would definitely be detained by Hagoromo, and he himself didn't have the ability to break into the Pure Land in the short term!
So, exposure?
It didn't matter anymore!
'Mangekyo Dōjutsu — Susanoo!'
Having figured all this out, Uchiha Jin immediately had no intention of holding back.
Without a word, he activated his left eye.
Before the Jiraiya on the other side could recover from his daze, the power of collapse that Uchiha Jin activated with his left eye at full force had already completely descended upon Jiraiya.
Almost instantly.
Jiraiya's entire body began to collapse inch by inch.
There was no gore; on the contrary, it was very calm.
His body was like words on a blackboard, being gently erased by an eraser, inch by inch.
