Orochimaru: "The Third Herrscher was like this, and the Fourth Herrscher is the same. Could it be that all Herrschers develop an alternate personality when they are born?"
Jiraiya: "But why did it seem like the First Herrscher and the Second Herrscher didn't develop alternate personalities?"
Uchiha Madara: "No, perhaps they already did, but instead of fighting with the other personality, they accepted it. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why their personalities changed so drastically!"
Senju Hashirama: "Hmm, that's possible!"
Senju Hashirama: "It's even possible that the ones controlling their bodies right now are their Herrscher personalities."
Senju Hashirama analyzed with utmost seriousness.
But no one took his words to heart.
After all, the First Hokage's unreliability was already known to everyone.
Even many of the First Hokage's fans had their illusions shattered.
Temari: "I never expected that I would actually become a Herrscher."
Rasa: "It's okay. As long as you don't cause harm to the village, the village will accept you."
Kankuro: "That's right, you're the great hero who saved the village!"
[ "Sister?"
Seeing that Temari seemed to have regained her reason, Kankuro spoke cautiously.
"Kankuro..." Looking at the worried Kankuro and the other Sunagakure ninja below, Temari was just about to descend when she suddenly sensed that the Honkai Energy in Sunagakure—no, in this entire desert—was rapidly rising!
"Oh no..."
Temari looked down at Kankuro with a despairing expression.
"Run!"
Her shrill cry echoed throughout the entirety of Sunagakure, but it seemed it was already too late.
Boom!
The Herrscher had awakened. Even if it wasn't the Herrscher consciousness controlling this body, she was still a Herrscher.
Therefore, the Great Honkai erupted!
Terrifying Honkai Energy enveloped all of Sunagakure in an instant!
And its shockwaves continued to spread, blanketing the entire desert.
Under the influence of this excessive Honkai Energy, the environment of the entire desert was affected.
At the epicenter of the Honkai Energy outbreak, with the hurricane formed by the Herrscher's power acting as the core, a terrifying hurricane that engulfed the entire desert was formed!
Suddenly, the entire Land of Wind was enveloped by this truly sky-blotting hurricane, plunging everything into darkness.
And all living creatures within this hurricane were blown into the sky!
"Not good! Quickly use Earth Release and dive underground!"
Outside of Sunagakure, the Jonin who saw the village's anomaly had originally been sprinting rapidly toward it.
However, forced back by the suddenly expanding hurricane, they had no choice but to carve out a space underground to take refuge.
"What in the world... is happening?"
With the entire desert engulfed by the hurricane, the inhabitants living in this desert didn't pay it much mind at first. They simply assumed it was a minor sandstorm, thinking that as long as they hid inside sturdy buildings, it would pass before long.
But what they didn't know was that the sheer scale of this hurricane was far beyond their imagination!
Whether it was the oases or the cities in the desert, all were affected. Beneath the yellow sand, not a single place in the entire Land of Wind could escape disaster.
Even areas outside the Land of Wind were affected by this hurricane.
Let alone neighboring nations, even the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and even the Land of Lightning, as well as the Land of Water across the distant oceans, could see this astonishing natural disaster! ]
Temari: "Did... I do this?"
Orochimaru: "Although it might be a bit inappropriate to say this now, with such terrifying Honkai Energy and this apocalyptic hurricane... let alone Sunagakure, I'm afraid there won't be many survivors in the entire Land of Wind."
Rasa: "..."
At this moment, Rasa fell silent.
Originally, he could still use the excuse that Temari hadn't caused any destruction to Sunagakure and hadn't killed a single person to convince the village to accept her.
But now, never mind Sunagakure; he feared that no one in the entire Ninja World would be able to accept her.
The impact Temari had caused... was simply too massive!
Senju Tobirama: "The destruction caused when a Herrscher is born truly grows greater each time. When the next Herrscher is born, could it be that the entire continent will be affected?"
As soon as Senju Tobirama said this, the Bullet Chat on the Sky Screen suddenly cleared out.
Because this wasn't a baseless conjecture, but highly likely the undeniable truth!
And given the rate at which Herrschers were being born, who knew how many more would appear next? When that time came, would there still be any safe place in the entire Ninja World?
Meanwhile, hidden beneath the feathers of a certain large flying Summoned Beast concealed within the clouds in the sky, Black Zetsu's face looked extremely grim.
Didn't this mean that even if he hid on another continent, he wouldn't be able to escape the Honkai?
"Damn it! If I had known, I would have snatched Obito's eye as well. If I hid inside the Kamui Dimension, who aside from the Herrscher of Reason would be able to find me?"
"No, I must find a way to get Obito's eye!"
Black Zetsu knew that the future situation would be ever-changing, and he had to increase his trump cards as much as possible!
And among the Sharingan, Obito's eye was simply far too useful!
Thus, Black Zetsu controlled the Summoned Beast, making it land on the surface of the sea. Following that, Black Zetsu used Summoning to bring out the Gedo Mazo, hid it within the deep sea, and then rode the Summoned Beast back toward the Ninja World.
"Damn it, I exposed myself too early. There are many things I haven't fully prepared for; I can only make up for them bit by bit after the fact."
[ Land of Fire, Old Konoha Ruins.
"What a breathtaking sight," Uchiha Hoshi marveled.
"Is this the hurricane created by the Fourth Herrscher? It's truly terrifying."
Uchiha Suzuri looked at the sky in his line of sight, which was entirely obscured by an endless sandstorm.
Even Uchiha Hoshi, who was also a ninja, was astonished by the spectacle the Fourth Herrscher was able to create, let alone everyone else.
At the same time, countless people raised their heads and gazed toward the Land of Wind.
The sandstorm there looked as if it could destroy the world, occupying the very edge of their vision and making them couldn't help but wonder: was this really formed naturally?
Whether it was human effort or the forces of nature, neither could likely produce such a terrifying effect.
And exactly because of this, it was all the more shocking!
Even... despair-inducing!
Countless commoners, bandits, nobles, and even ninja couldn't resist dropping to their knees to pray.
At this moment, a single thought surfaced uncontrollably in everyone's minds.
Could this truly be a divine punishment delivered by the gods?
Because the scope of the Land of Wind's sandstorm was simply too vast, the endless yellow sand filled the sky, blowing the sands of the Land of Wind across the entire Ninja World.
At this moment, whether it was the towering mountains of the Land of Lightning, the distant polar regions of the Land of Snow, or even the Land of Water across numerous oceans, the wind carried yellow sand over to them all.
Even the deathly silent Land of Whirlpools was tinged with a different color.
At this moment, a rain of sand fell upon the entire Ninja World.
Even not long after, further away, continents on the other side of the planet also saw yellow sand falling from the atmosphere. ]
