Chapter 1282 Dice

Hiruzen Sarutobi was enveloped in a blazing light of chakra, his aura instantly reaching its peak after activating the Eight Gates. He roared and charged towards Gogeta. Gogeta sensed this powerful aura, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately assumed a fighting stance.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi closed in, his fists rained down on Gogeta. Gogeta nimbly dodged, searching for an opening to counterattack. Just as one of Hiruzen's attacks missed, Gogeta seized the opportunity, kicking him in the stomach. However, thanks to the power of the Eight Gates, Hiruzen managed to withstand the kick, then followed up with a backhand elbow strike, sending Gogeta flying.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's ferocity, the other ninjas were greatly encouraged and readjusted their stance, rejoining the battle. Gogeta was surrounded, but his gaze remained firm as he rapidly formed hand seals, conjuring a massive energy ball in his hands. With a roar, he launched the energy ball at the surrounding ninjas, and an explosion resounded through the sky. This interdimensional battle intensified, and the outcome remained uncertain. Thick smoke billowed from the explosion, and as it dissipated, the ninjas used earth-style hand seals to create earthen walls, successfully withstanding the impact of the energy ball. Taking advantage of Gogeta's momentary distraction, Hiruzen Sarutobi charged at him again, gathering powerful wind-style chakra in his hands and unleashing a fierce wind blade at Gogeta. Gogeta dodged to the side, simultaneously releasing a beam of energy in retaliation. Just then, space suddenly distorted, and a mysterious figure appeared—an inspector from a higher dimension. He roared, "This interdimensional battle violates the rules and must stop!" With that, he waved his hand, and a powerful force instantly enveloped the battlefield. The ninjas and Gogeta all felt their powers sealed, rendering them immobile. The inspector warned everyone that further violations would result in severe punishment. He then used his divine power to send everyone back to their respective dimensions, abruptly ending the fierce interdimensional battle.

Back in their respective dimensions, Hiruzen Sarutobi, though resentful, understood it was the rule. He returned to Konoha and told the other ninjas about his experience in this interdimensional battle. Everyone was shocked by the mysterious inspector and Gogeta's immense power. Meanwhile, Hiruzen began to consider how to improve the ninjas' strength to prevent similar crises from happening again in the future.

After returning to his own dimension, Gogeta fell into deep thought. He realized that cross-dimensional battles could have unpredictable consequences and understood the importance of rules. But a fighting spirit also ignited within him; he wanted to become stronger and explore more unknown powers.

However, the aftershocks of this interdimensional war have not subsided. The appearance of that mysterious inspector seems to foreshadow an even greater crisis, and a new storm may be brewing between dimensions. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Gogeta will one day be drawn into this unknown conflict once again.

The danger of the dimensional war also successfully made everyone see the truth of the matter. From then on, no Konoha ninja was willing to believe those lies.
