Hokage: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 4: Bulk Bloodline Limits

Chapter 4: Bulk Bloodline Limits

After a brief pause, everything returned to calm.

On the ravaged battlefield, fragments of molten rock scattered where the wind had blown them away.

At the center where Hagoromo Gengetsu stood, a massive protective shield still stood tall.

With the sound of footsteps, a crack widened, and Hagoromo Gengetsu emerged unscathed.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Seeing this, the First Wind Kage, Reto, wasted no time. He rapidly formed hand seals, and dozens of spinning wind blades, each as tall as a person, shot towards Hagoromo Gengetsu from all directions.

Without even glancing, Hagoromo Gengetsu used the Swift Release, avoiding the wind blades effortlessly despite their speed.

The First Earth Kage, Ishikawa, then slammed his hands onto the ground:

"Earth Release: Yellow Springs Marsh!"

In an instant, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters around Hagoromo Gengetsu turned into a massive swamp.

Hagoromo Gengetsu found his movements significantly slowed as he struggled through the mire.

"Found a countermeasure so quickly?" Hagoromo Gengetsu snorted, stopping. He twisted his waist and delivered a heavy punch to the suddenly appearing First Water Kage, Byakuren.

Boom!

Water splashed as Byakuren's head burst like a watermelon, his body collapsing like flowing water.

"Water Clone."

Hagoromo Gengetsu glanced around and was about to turn back.

The dispersing Byakuren clone suddenly coalesced, transforming into long water whips that rapidly entangled around Hagoromo Gengetsu, trapping him tightly.

"Got you!" Byakuren's figure emerged from the muddy river, gripping one end of the water whips tightly, and coldly stared at Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Hagoromo Gengetsu looked down at the water whips binding him as if sealing him, then looked up at Byakuren with a smirk:

"Oh? Is that so?"

Byakuren tightened the water whips instinctively.

With a “bang,” Hagoromo Gengetsu transformed into a puff of white smoke and vanished from sight.

"Shadow Clone? When did this happen?"

"Shadow Clone?"

At the same time, the spectator, Mu, looked in surprise at Senju Tobirama.

He knew that Tobirama invented the Shadow Clone Technique. He was puzzled about when Konoha’s Shadow Clone had been leaked.

Tobirama, however, did not pay attention to Mu. Though his face remained expressionless, his heart roared:

"That technique is mine! My Shadow Clone!"

For the first time, Tobirama experienced the frustration of seeing his own creations used by others without proper credit.

Of course, this situation would repeat in the future.

Hagoromo Gengetsu’s Shadow Clones had not been properly licensed.

After observing a certain Konoha ninja using the Shadow Clone Technique in front of him, and after some experimentation, Hagoromo Gengetsu, with his exceptional talent, easily mastered it.

He had to admit that it was a very useful technique.

Sharingan and Byakugan could not discern the true from the false, and Byakuren was no exception.

But this was only temporary.

The First Earth Kage, Ishikawa, who still had his hands on the ground, turned towards a certain direction and coldly said, "The earth is my domain. Hagoromo Gengetsu, you can’t hide twice."

As he spoke, the ground trembled.

Giant earth hands emerged from the ground, reaching out to grab the empty space.

Hagoromo Gengetsu revealed himself, shaking his head and commenting, "Brother, the brilliance of the Swift Release is about this much."

He then clapped his hands and shouted:

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A massive tidal wave surged from behind Hagoromo Gengetsu, dispersing the giant earth hands and turning the molten rock below into a vast expanse of water.

Ishikawa quickly retreated.

Byakuren then clapped his hands on the water surface.

Byakuren, renowned for his mastery of Water Release, proved worthy of his title as Water Kage.

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"

Dozens of whirlpools appeared around Byakuren, spinning rapidly to form water columns that surged towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.

This was just the beginning.

Utilizing the advantage created by Hagoromo Gengetsu, Byakuren could exert greater power with minimal energy expenditure.

However, Hagoromo Gengetsu was aware of this.

Facing the rapidly approaching water columns, Hagoromo Gengetsu smiled calmly and formed a single hand seal:

"Ice Release: Ice Fang Bullet."

Crack~ Crack~ Crack~.

The rapidly approaching water columns were quickly cooled and solidified into ice pillars mid-air. At Hagoromo Gengetsu's command, they turned and shot towards Byakuren, Reto, Ishikawa, and the impatient A.

Boom!

The massive, heavy ice pillars crashed into the water surface, creating huge waves.

Byakuren's face turned grim as he dodged the ice attacks, feeling a complex mix of emotions:

"How many bloodline limits does Hagoromo Gengetsu possess? The Ice Release of the Yuki clan, but he controls so many."

Not only him, but also Reto, Ishikawa, A, and the distant five future Second Generation Kage were all astonished.

Although they were aware of Hagoromo Gengetsu's exceptional talent, the level of his abilities exceeded their expectations.

Bloodline Limits alone could grant immense power and allow a ninja clan to stand tall in the ninja world.

Those who could develop Bloodline Limits and establish ninja clans were all prominent figures in the ninja world.

However, such historic figures were now overshadowed by Hagoromo Gengetsu.

In such a short time, Hagoromo Gengetsu had demonstrated five Bloodline Limits: Steel Release, Swift Release, Dissolution Release, Transparency Release, and Ice Release.

Before, the most anyone had managed was two Bloodline Limits.

This comparison was unprecedented.

"Such a person existing in the ninja world is truly unimaginable!" 

The future Second Water Kage, Hozuki Gengetsu, scratched his head, looking troubled.

Initially, they, the five future Second Generation Kage, found it difficult to understand why all five Kage were teaming up against just one person. It felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Now, they realized that the decision was entirely correct.

In a one-on-one situation, except for the Hokage, none of the other four Kage could confidently claim to be Hagoromo Gengetsu’s match.

Senju Tobirama, seldom one to speak, nodded in agreement, "That’s exactly why such a person must be eliminated."

As a gifted individual himself, Tobirama admired Hagoromo Gengetsu’s achievements in the path of ninjas.

However, as a politician, he understood that such a powerful individual could not be allowed to exist unchecked.

Hagoromo Gengetsu was too young!

When their generation faded, he would remain uncontrollable.

"Blame it on being born in the wrong era."

Tobirama shifted his gaze from Hagoromo Gengetsu to the increasingly intense Senju Hashirama, shaking his head.

With his brother Hashirama, who defied common logic, even the most stunning talent would eventually pale.

He had a deep understanding of this.
