Chapter 110 Everyone is shocked; the Third Hokage has actually perished! [Second Update]
"Then we can make a simple conjecture. This Karma is probably a technique that can complete a higher level of reincarnation, or a tool, or some other kind of ability." Uchiha Itachi scribbled on the paper. "In other words, the known lifespan of the Otsutsuki clan members should be very, very long, possibly even godlike. And even if something happens to them, they can use this ninjutsu called Karma to possess the body of another being and complete reincarnation. Therefore, it is estimated that the upper limit of the Otsutsuki clan's lifespan may be immortality, at least several hundred years."
Even if he's not a god, he's pretty close.
The concept of interstellar travel can be understood as traversing between different worlds. So, the question arises: their physical bodies must be extremely terrifying.
Another piece of evidence is that Kitahara Kaede called Naruto's child Boruto. At first, he called him Uzumaki Boruto, but on one occasion he called him Otsutsuki Boruto. How was it written at that time?
Standing before you now is Naruto with murderous intent, Sasuke without pretense, Minato returning home, Jiraiya with intelligence, Itachi in good health, Kaguya with experience, the wanted poster of Fusion, the pain surpassing Pain, Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, plus Sasuke's temperament, Naruto's appearance, and Kakashi's calmness—a super villain, Boruto Otsutsuki!
Previously, I focused on other aspects, but now it seems that the real core message is this Otsutsuki Boruto.
Why did Boruto Uzumaki transform into Boruto Otsutsuki? It's because he was possessed by Karma, most likely a member of the Otsutsuki clan in the future, which explains his strange state.
Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself, writing down his various speculations as he spoke.
"So the real reason why Boruto Uzumaki seems to have become so powerful after three years is because he was possessed by the Otsutsuki?"
The more Itachi Uchiha thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
If that's the case, it would explain a lot of things. That's why Boruto Uzumaki could reach the Kage level at the age of fifteen or sixteen, a level that only Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju had ever reached, and even Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, whom they had almost never actually met, possessed.
"So this Karma is actually this powerful?" Itachi Uchiha was amazed when he calculated this.
Clearly, while Orochimaru's cursed seal allows for continuous reincarnation, it must also have limitations. For example, he cannot carry the bloodline limit from his previous body into the next one.
If that's possible, Orochimaru wouldn't need to do anything; he could simply reincarnate repeatedly and quickly become a super monster with countless bloodline limits.
However, it is possible to use the Karma technique. Although it is unknown how it is done, it is clear that it is possible to transfer the talents of the Otsutsuki clan into a new body.
So the Otsutsuki clan can achieve immortality in this way, right? This technique is too abnormal.
Moreover, if a person could be reborn continuously, how terrifying would they become after a hundred, two hundred, or three hundred years? It's unimaginable.
"So they call themselves gods and refer to us in the ninja world as inferior beings." Itachi Uchiha looked at the records in his diary with a solemn expression.
But then he smiled wryly. So what if they're gods? They were still taught a lesson by us inferior beings, and some even died in the ninja world.
If Kitahara Kaede said so, then it must be true.
But why is there this claim that they're like power banks, similar to the tailed beasts?
Although he didn't know what a power bank was, he connected the context and realized that the various tailed beasts were now sealed inside the bodies of their jinchūriki, becoming weapons of war for the major ninja villages.
In other words, some members of the Otsutsuki clan also became beings similar to tailed beasts, such as the one named Momora.
Then this person's name should be Ōtsutsuki Momo Lama.
Itachi Uchiha even felt a little disturbed; the more he knew, the more dangerous the world seemed to be.
It even gave him the feeling that he suddenly didn't want to die.
He also wanted to pave the way for Sasuke's future, and he also wanted to protect Konoha.
The future world is dangerous, but it's also very exciting.
But this was beyond his control. Given his physical condition, he couldn't hold on for more than a few years. The accusations from his deceased clansmen in his dreams tormented him constantly, causing him to deteriorate further.
"Kara?" Kakashi Hatake felt a headache coming on when he saw this. The Akatsuki organization was already a headache enough, how did another organization like Kara suddenly appear?
Like Itachi Uchiha, he also noticed the word "Otsutsuki clan" which appeared frequently in Kitahara Kaede's diary.
So far, a total of four people have appeared with the prefix "Otsutsuki".
The first one is Otsutsuki Ichiraku, but this one seems to be just for fun.
The second one is Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki. I didn't feel much about it at the time, but now when I think about it, I think it must be extremely terrifying.
In Kitahara Kaede's words, Otsutsuki Isshiki was already invincible, yet he was still managed to be ambushed by Otsutsuki Kaguya. Although it's unclear why the two Otsutsuki clans would fall out in the ninja world, Otsutsuki Kaguya's strength is not far behind.
"What she lacks is experience, or rather, she might be a pampered young lady who doesn't have much combat experience. Otherwise, Kitahara Kaede wouldn't have mentioned Kaguya's experience." Hatake Kakashi clearly had his own judgment.
The third one is the invincible Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was ambushed and was capable of easily defeating the peak Naruto and Sasuke duo in the future.
The fourth one is Naruto's future son, who somehow became Boruto Otsutsuki, a member of the Otsutsuki clan.
Finally, there is another one who is suspected to be called Momo Lama Otsutsuki, who seems to be imprisoned and has become an existence like the Tailed Beasts.
However, if we accept Kitahara Kaede's statement that the Otsutsuki clan is already terrifying, considering themselves gods and regarding all living beings in the ninja world as inferior beings, then a question arises.
Among the lower-class creatures, who could possibly defeat these Otsutsuki?
Whose general is so brave?
"You can break my defenses even when I'm at my peak?" Sasuke Uchiha's first reaction was disbelief. At his peak, he would have at least had the Mangekyou Sharingan, and when he activated the Susanoo ninjutsu, he could create a skeleton around himself.
Protected by this skeleton, it seems difficult for any ninjutsu to harm the person inside.
So the question is, how will the opponent break through Susanoo?
We should even add Naruto at his peak, that idiot loser.
Are the Otsutsuki clan really that strong?
Are they even stronger than our Uchiha clan?
This was intolerable to someone like Sasuke Uchiha, who valued the honor of the Uchiha clan above all else.
But why are there more and more enemies in the future? It feels like the future is getting more and more dangerous.
Just as everyone was staring at the diary, hoping that Kitahara Kaede would record more about the Kaneko organization and what the so-called Super Kage level was all about, Kitahara Kaede suddenly changed the subject, as if he had just made a casual remark.
However, it's too early to say all that. The Akatsuki is still in a low-key operation period, and the Kara organization is far from being active. The most urgent task right now is the upcoming Chunin Selection Exams.
The next major plot point, I dare say, is the most exciting Chunin Exams in all the years and so many times in Naruto, with so many monsters sneaking in.
Especially after this battle, the Third Hokage will perish. He just gave me a Thunder God Sword; shouldn't I remind him about Orochimaru's problem?
Kitahara Kaede paused here. It would be impossible to say that Kitahara Kaede had no wariness of the Third Hokage. After all, he had just been chased by the Root Squad. Although he knew that the Third Hokage had nothing to do with him and that it was Shimura Danzo who did it, Kitahara Kaede had too many secrets that could not be revealed.
He was terrified that the third generation would pry into this matter, and if that happened, he would have no choice but to leave, even if he didn't want to.
Anyway, it's impossible to get him to surrender easily. He has feelings for Konoha, but not so deep that he would surrender without a fight.
However, he did not harbor any resentment or ill feelings towards the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage didn't understand him and thought he had suffered a loss and harbored resentment towards Konoha.
However, Kitahara Kaede actually knew much more than he imagined, including that it was Shimura Danzo who was behind it, so he couldn't possibly have any resentment.
In this situation, having unexpectedly acquired the Thunder God's Sword, his opinion of the Third Hokage greatly improved, and he even considered whether to remind the Third Hokage about Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.
Then, Kitahara Kaede's sudden change of tone caused everyone's pupils to widen in shock.
The Third Generation has fallen!
The Third Hokage will die, during the Chunin Selection Exams. To be more precise, this is not just an implication, but an explicit statement that he will die at Orochimaru's hands.
"No, that can't be right." Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly, looking completely incredulous.
This was clearly beyond his comprehension. So, even shadows can fall?
He did not experience the era of war. From childhood, he was taught that the Hokage were the five most powerful people in the world. And how could the Hokage, who was so high and mighty, die?
Let's not even talk about the Fourth Hokage, who died not long after he was born. As for the Third Hokage, I watched him grow up from childhood. Even though he was a member of the Uchiha clan, didn't he have any longing for the title of Hokage?
Therefore, even for Uchiha Sasuke, knowing that the future Hokage would die would still shake him to his core.
He wasn't the same cold and indifferent Sasuke he was during his white-robed days. Besides, even under that cold and indifferent exterior, there was still a trace of humanity and kindness that hadn't been extinguished in Uchiha Sasuke.
