"System, start simulation!"

Uchiha Haru, having finally understood everything, spoke in a low, resolute voice. He reselected his talents and entered the simulation once again.

This time, he planned to use sealing techniques to shift the tide.

However, while Haru had learned some sealing arts, it was still extremely difficult to seal off the powerhouses of the First and Second Hokage.

To make matters worse, he was surrounded by enemies.

Root operatives, Danzo, Orochimaru, and even Uchiha Itachi were constantly watching him, interfering at every step. Nothing was going smoothly.

Yet compared to his earlier simulations, this was still significant progress.

Repeated failures to seal and failed simulations did not affect Haru's mentality.

He relished the process of strengthening himself through battle. He thrived on clashing with truly powerful foes.

With his current strength, he could already have easily evaded the Uchiha clan's extermination night and survived.

But that was no longer his objective.

His real aim was to sharpen his strength as much as possible in combat, to be prepared for any and all challenges that the future might throw his way.

As time passed, Haru had simulated the battle six or seven more times.

In the later runs, he calmed down and stopped relying on sealing techniques. Instead, he chose a more straightforward method to test and improve his strength.

One reason was that the sealing techniques he'd mastered were still too rudimentary to suppress the First and Second Hokage.

Another reason was the enemies constantly surrounding him, making seals nearly impossible to execute properly.

Again and again, he was ultimately defeated when he ran out of chakra.

Haru understood that improving further with his current capabilities was unlikely. If he truly wanted to change the game, there was only one solution—wait.

Wait for a new golden ability.

He had seen how much golden abilities could enhance his strength.

Ōtsutsuki Physique, Wood Release, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack—each of them had significantly raised his combat power.

With such abilities, every challenge became a surmountable obstacle.

Now, faced with another impossible situation, he believed the next golden ability would allow him to turn everything around.

But acquiring a golden ability was no simple task.

Across multiple simulations, Haru encountered numerous purple abilities, and even more white and blue ones.

But golden remained elusive.

This aligned with his expectations.

In life, anything truly worth having never came easily.

Having already mentally prepared himself, Haru wasn't discouraged.

At last, after more than ten simulations, Haru obtained his fourth golden ability.

[Lord of Elements (Golden Ability): When using elemental ninjutsu, the power is increased by 300%.]

300%!

Even Haru was stunned when he saw the ability's description.

A 300% power boost in elemental ninjutsu—what did that even mean?

Even a basic, low-level C-rank ninjutsu would now possess unimaginable destructive force under the effect of Lord of Elements.

It would require ultimate techniques from top-tier ninja just to stand against it.

He had originally assumed the fourth golden ability would be another kekkei genkai like before—maybe a Bloodline Limit or even a kekkei tōta.

But unexpectedly, it was the Lord of Elements.

Simple. Brutal. And most importantly—devastatingly powerful.

Obtaining this ability instantly elevated him to a realm of unmatched power within his rank. He could now even challenge stronger enemies beyond his own level.

Haru immediately locked in the golden ability and then randomly selected a few additional skills before entering the simulation again.

He couldn't wait to unleash the might of Lord of Elements.

Simulation Start.

As usual, Haru began inside the Konoha Military Police Force's holding cell.

Soon, Danzo sent people to silence him—but they fled in terror.

Then came Orochimaru with his Impure World Reincarnation, summoning the First and Second Hokage.

Beneath the dark night sky, the two legendary Kage stood side by side, emanating an overwhelming aura.

With a Body Flicker, Haru appeared before them—only two or three meters away.

Previously, he had been able to deal with Danzo, Root ninjas, and even Uchiha Itachi without even utilizing Lord of Elements.

But now, facing the Impure World Reincarnation bodies of the First and Second Hokage, he was finally ready to go all out.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Right from the start, Haru unleashed the most powerful technique he currently possessed.

This time, he was empowered by the newly unlocked golden ability—Lord of Elements.

An explosive force erupted instantly.

As chakra condensed, radiant white light glowed in Haru's palm. Even before he launched the attack, the oppressive energy shook the battlefield.

Even the First and Second Hokage, with their immortal Impure World bodies, felt a deep and dangerous sense of foreboding.

They understood that if they were hit directly, the consequences might be irreversible.

Even with regeneration.

No hesitation. The two Hokage immediately took action.

They were veterans—battle-hardened. The more powerful the enemy ninjutsu, the more critical it was to attack first and disrupt it before casting completed.

But Haru was no longer the same inexperienced shinobi who had first used the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

After over a dozen simulations, he'd become adept at deploying the technique with minimal prep.

He wouldn't have closed in on the Hokage with such precision otherwise.

The First and Second Hokage launched a joint offensive.

Wood Release—one of the world's most terrifying kekkei genkai.

Flying Thunder God—an S-rank space-time ninjutsu.

Both were legendary, nearly unstoppable.

And now, wielded by two historic titans, they reached heights unthinkable for ordinary shinobi.

At the same time, Haru's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack—empowered by Lord of Elements—exploded into action.

Giant chakra fists, like mountain-sized meteors, blasted out in all directions.

The radius of devastation spanned nearly a hundred meters.

Danzo, Orochimaru, the masked man, Itachi, and a swarm of Root ninja were all caught in the onslaught.

Each titanic chakra fist carried immense pressure and thunderous momentum.

At first, they seemed distant—then, with a blink, they were right on top of everyone.

Blinding white fists.

Dozens of them, hammering down.

Obliterating everything they touched.

Orochimaru, Danzo, Itachi, and the Root ninja were overwhelmed.

Even the masked man, who always maintained an air of superiority and claimed to be Uchiha Madara, showed a rare flicker of emotion.

None of them had expected Haru to unleash a technique that went beyond the power of most Kage.

As the fists surged forward, the stunned spectators scrambled to use Body Flicker and evade.

But except for the masked man, protected by Kamui's spatial defense, the others couldn't escape.

Danzo, Orochimaru, the already-injured Uchiha Itachi, and the Root ninja were all struck.

Especially the Root shinobi.

Individually strong—but compared to Haru, now empowered by the Lord of Elements and nearing Super-Kage level, they were nothing.

His attacks were utterly unmatchable.

This was the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack—considered the strongest taijutsu-style ninjutsu.

Even Danzo and Orochimaru, both Kage-level combatants, suffered injuries trying to dodge.

The elite jōnin of Root had no chance. They took heavy damage or died instantly.

The others stared at the center of the battlefield in awe.

They had been devastated at the periphery.

But the First and Second Hokage had been at ground zero.

Despite the regenerative power of Impure World Reincarnation, they couldn't be certain if the two legendary Kage had truly survived.

The attack left a cratered battlefield cloaked in thick gray smoke.

Mangekyō Sharingan flared as the masked man and Itachi activated them to pierce the haze.

"Itachi, report," Danzo asked grimly.

If even the Impure World Hokage couldn't stop Haru, then Danzo had run out of moves.

Orochimaru squinted, face uncertain.

He had once been confident that he could control Haru's body through Edo Tensei.

Now, seeing Haru's real strength—he realized how laughably naive he had been.

"The two Hokage are still alive," Itachi said in a deep tone.

Hearing this, Danzo and Orochimaru visibly relaxed.

If they were still standing, then Haru's attack hadn't completely destroyed them.

There was still hope.

At least it wasn't the end.

Whoosh…

The night breeze rolled in, sweeping away the smoke.

At the battlefield's heart, Uchiha Haru stood, calm and composed, eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

He was clearly pleased with the Lord of Elements' devastating effect.

In the distance, the First and Second Hokage remained standing.

But they were far from unscathed.
