Chapter 6: Can't You Start Researching From the Womb?

The First Raikage, A, the First Mizukage, Byakuren, the First Tsuchikage, Ishikawa, and the First Kazekage, Reto.

In the current ninja world, the only ones who could jointly confront these four kages, apart from the present Hagoromo Gengetsu, would be Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, who is not here at the moment.

Why hasn't Uchiha Madara received such treatment?

As Hagoromo Gengetsu pondered this while facing the dire situation, he wondered about Madara's absence. That guy's ideals were similar to his own—boasting about unifying the ninja world through force—but no one had mentioned that he would be ganged up on.

"Perhaps, that's the advantage of blending into the system."

When one makes a mistake, they have a big brother to put them down. Unlike him, who always thought he was the big brother.

Hagoromo Gengetsu mused internally as his eyes focused sharply on the battlefield.

The Kage's various attacks—Reto's sword, Ishikawa's hands, A's punch, and, most critically, Byakuren's water prison—were all in view.

Having assessed the situation, Hagoromo Gengetsu quickly formulated a response.

"Chidori Stream!"

Screech~~~

The glaring daylight illuminated the four kages up close.

Amid the sharp chirping like thousands of birds, Hagoromo Gengetsu spread his arms, releasing thousands of lightning bolts from his body. This not only provided defense but also spread outwards in all directions from his center.

The four kages, caught off guard, were immediately enveloped by the electric field.

Their reactions varied.

Ishikawa, underground, grunted as he was forced to release his numbed hands.

Byakuren, affected by the conductive water, had black smoke rising from his body, causing the newly formed water prison to collapse with a "bang."

A remained unfazed, continuing his punch with no reduction in speed.

Reto, though affected, maintained his resolve through the wind nature chakra's effective resistance to lightning. He pressed on, swinging his sword.

Boom!

Under the intense pressure and impact, visible shockwaves were created once again.

In the thick dust and mist, a figure shot backwards like a cannonball, spinning in the air before abruptly twisting.

Thud.

He landed heavily, dragging a long furrow through the ground.

Hagoromo Gengetsu pulled his legs out of the mud and stood upright again.

His armor, the silver armor of the Hagoromo clan, was now severely damaged and appeared even more disheveled than before.

But that was it.

Hagoromo Gengetsu had never revealed this ability before.

Now was the time to showcase it.

A straight and extremely fast lightning spear extended from Hagoromo Gengetsu's palm, darting towards Reto.

Reto's face suddenly changed.

Although Hagoromo Gengetsu's information included various bloodline limits, there was little detail about his chakra's form changes.

Reto had assumed it was normal.

After all, if someone delved deeply into chakra nature change, it wouldn't be expected for them to make significant advances in form change, right?

Could it be that you've been researching ninjutsu since you were in the womb?

One can't be too abnormal.

The reality delivered a harsh blow to Reto.

Orochimaru, who was well-versed in ninjutsu knowledge, was astonished by Sasuke's Chidori.

As the First Kazekage, Reto understood the value of Hagoromo Gengetsu's current technique.

No time for shock.

Caught off guard, as the Chidori Sharp Spear was about to reach his forehead, Reto hurriedly raised his arm to block.

Rip.

The Chidori Sharp Spear pierced through Reto's raised left arm, narrowly grazing his head.

Hagoromo Gengetsu did not stop there. Taking advantage of the momentum from A's punch, he shifted his position, aiming to slice off Reto's left arm with a horizontal swing of the spear.

Swish swish swish~~~

Numerous water needles suddenly attacked.

Unbeknownst to him, Byakuren had finally decided to take action.

As the First Mizukage, Byakuren as renowned not only for his water release but also for his sealing techniques.

Although not as developed as the Uzumaki clan's long-standing techniques, combined with his vast array of jutsu, he had earned significant fame even before the establishment of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

This was why, unlike the ill-fated Sand ninjas or the occasionally troublesome Cloud and Rock ninjas, the Mist ninjas rarely faced tailed beast upheavals.

At this moment, the numerous water needles shot by Byakuren seemed ordinary but actually incorporated his unique sealing techniques.

In the ninja world, sealing techniques had no clear boundaries, applying to everyone from ordinary ninjas to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Understanding the complexity of sealing techniques, Hagoromo Gengetsu, avoiding a direct confrontation, abandoned Reto, leaped several times, and retreated rapidly.

Boom! Boom!

Byakuren, A, and the injured Reto relentlessly pursued him.

As Hagoromo Gengetsu retreated to an open space, the last of the kages, Ishikawa, made his move.
