Chapter 089: Taking Over

One arm of Susanoo descended at supersonic speed, its terrifying kinetic energy transforming into an impact that collided with the towering Thousand-Armed Kannon, producing a collision no less than that of a meteor striking the Earth.

It was like a white rainbow piercing the sun, a clash of heaven and earth.

Amid the deafening roar, a terrible blast wave, like a breached flood or a cascading galaxy, surged out wave after wave, tearing the earth apart, while invisible vibrations spread outward at supersonic speed.

The clouds in the sky were shredded to pieces.

Some ninjas who failed to dodge in time were swept up, like small boats on the vast sea, completely capsized.

The aftermath of the collision was earth-shattering, pushing outward in all directions, threatening to engulf Konoha. If it struck the village, it would surely destroy it.

At the critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi led the ninjas in performing Earth Release.

Massive earthen walls shot up, forming a cliff-like barrier that collided with the oncoming shockwave, layer after layer of walls being easily shattered and torn apart.

Fortunately, there were enough ninjas in Konoha, each giving their all, and they finally managed to stop the shockwave.

Meanwhile, the arm of Susanoo controlled by Wang Bo, gripping the longsword, after a few seconds of stalemate with the towering hand, forcibly cleaved the Thousand-Armed Kannon's giant hand in two, and the body of the Kannon was also completely torn apart.

This technique was utterly destroyed by Wang Bo.

Cracks spread from the wounds, instantly engulfing the entire Thousand-Armed Kannon, which then turned into a pile of wood chips, vanishing with the wind.

Then, Wang Bo flickered and appeared before Hashirama Senju, striking out with his blade.

The giant arm of Susanoo swung the longsword, cleaving Hashirama Senju in two.

Then Wang Bo once again manipulated this giant arm, charging toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, he was the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Only by killing him would Hashirama Senju return to the world of the dead.

Tobirama Senju and the others also realized this and wanted to protect Sarutobi Hiruzen. Among these ninjas, he and Minato Namikaze were the fastest.

But Wang Bo was not slow either.

The three clashed several times in midair. Wang Bo fought speed with speed, and in just a few moves, he shattered Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze. Though their strength was considerable, they were far inferior to Hashirama Senju.

After dealing with the Second and Fourth Hokage, Wang Bo controlled Susanoo's arm, aimed at the Third Hokage, and slashed down fiercely.

Supersonic Flying Slash!

In an instant, a slash over a thousand meters long flew out, destroying everything in its path.

Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged several times, but he had long been locked onto by Wang Bo's killing intent and could not escape. Finally, his ferocity was fully aroused. Disregarding life and death, he poured all his chakra into his staff and smashed it fiercely toward the Flying Slash.

The golden monkey raised his thousand-jun staff, clearing the vast sky of all dust!

Unfortunately, this saying refers to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, not Sarutobi Hiruzen. Though he also used a staff and his summon was a monkey, he was far inferior to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Trying to block Wang Bo's thousand-meter Flying Slash was nothing but a pipe dream.

Bang!

The next second, his staff was struck head-on by the Flying Slash. The tremendous impact not only split his staff but also shattered his body into dust, turning into a rain of blood falling from the sky.

This time, it could be said that he died without a complete corpse.

Hashirama Senju saw this scene and couldn't help but feel speechless. After Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, the Impure World Reincarnation technique was considered broken, and his body began to crumble.

The bodies of Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Sakumo Hatake also began to crumble.

Little by little, they turned to ash and disappeared into the air.

"Ahhh, is this the end of Konoha?" Hashirama Senju laughed bitterly, scratched his hair, and left these words before vanishing without a trace.

He knew very well that after all the Hokage died, no one in Konoha could stop Wang Bo. Perhaps, before long, Konoha would come to an end. Maybe the village of Konohagakure would never exist in this world again.

Although he had already imagined this, when it actually happened, there was still an indescribable feeling.

Forget it, since he was already dead, he shouldn't think too much.

He had seen too many partings between life and death.

…

With Hiruzen Sarutobi dead and the Hokage gone, the morale of Konoha's side completely collapsed. There was no longer any decent resistance, and everyone surrendered.

Wang Bo took control of Konoha almost effortlessly and became the de facto ruler of the village.

But the surrendered ninjas were extremely uneasy, not knowing how Wang Bo would deal with them.

In reality, Wang Bo had no intention of killing them. After all, Wang Bo was not a murderous maniac. He even released the captured ninjas.

As for whether they would unite to resist him, Wang Bo was not worried at all.

After all, his strength had now reached a level where he could completely suppress any resistance.

Moreover, Wang Bo was not without helpers by his side.

After taking over Konoha, Wang Bo did not go on a killing spree. Instead, he reassured the ninjas and residents of Konoha, allowing them to live peaceful lives.

As long as they didn't court death, Wang Bo wouldn't touch them.

However, after taking over Konoha, Wang Bo soon discovered an unexpected piece of news.

The Nine-Tails jinchuriki was missing.

That is to say, Minato Namikaze's son, Naruto Uzumaki, had disappeared from Konoha Village.

When the war began, Naruto Uzumaki, as the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, was naturally hidden by the Third Hokage and did not enter the battlefield. Wang Bo did not find this jinchuriki on the battlefield either.

But after the war, the Third died, Konoha surrendered, and Wang Bo became the leader of Konoha.

Yet the Nine-Tails jinchuriki was gone.

As if he had suddenly vanished, without a trace.

In fact, not only was the Nine-Tails jinchuriki missing, but the several ninjas guarding him were also gone, and their bodies were nowhere to be found.

After the battle, Konoha not only lost miserably but also lost the jinchuriki.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Bo immediately realized that the Akatsuki organization had made their move. While Wang Bo was attacking Konoha, they had secretly taken away the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, most of Konoha's ninjas were on the battlefield at that time. With their strength, entering Konoha and taking Naruto Uzumaki was far too easy.

Clearly, these guys were afraid. Afraid that after Wang Bo took control of Konoha, they would never be able to take the Nine-Tails jinchuriki away. So they seized this opportunity to easily take the jinchuriki.
