Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Tsuchikage sneered. He had fought Hozuki Gengetsu far too many times; why would he use this trick against him?

Although it's impossible to tell which of the people in the mist is the real one, it doesn't matter. Just destroy them all!

Dust Release is the most suitable ninjutsu for clearing obstacles on a large scale.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

Tsuchikage unleashed Dust Release, a cylindrical beam of white light, several meters in diameter, sweeping recklessly through the mist. Wherever it passed, the smoke dissipated, and everything around it vanished into nothingness.

Hozuki Gengetsu kept dodging, cursing Tsuchikage Mu a thousand times in his heart. Dust Release, such a shameless, large-scale destructive ninjutsu, should disappear from this world!

Steaming danger and violence!

Hozuki Gengetsu created a clone about the same size as himself, then became panting heavily. This move would deplete a lot of his stamina and could not be used lightly.

The clone leaped high into the air, quickly firing several water cannons to propel himself towards the airborne Tsuchikage.

"spread!"

The Tsuchikage, Mu, sensed something was wrong and immediately pushed Onoki and Rōshi away. In an instant, his clone exploded, the mixture of oil and water creating a large amount of high-temperature steam that burned Mu, who was a step too slow.

"Damn it, that old guy Hozuki Gengetsu is still as insidious as ever."

Despite the searing pain from the intense steam, Tsuchikage Mugenya activated his sensory ninjutsu against Hozuki Gengetsu, searching for his whereabouts. At the same time, he instructed Onoki and Roshi to lead the Iwagakure troops to stay to the side. This time, he was determined to settle the score with Hozuki Gengetsu.

As the explosion subsided, hail began to fall from the sky. The clone, which was originally about the same height as Hozuki Gengetsu, rapidly shrank, preparing to build up for the next explosion. Its right hand, which had been separated from its clone, transformed into a scythe and charged towards the main force of Iwagakure.

The Earth Shadow can fly! The clones are so easily recognizable after shrinking. That move can only be used once!

We must find a way to lure Tsuchikage Mu down. Hozuki Gengetsu's clone quickly rushed to the vicinity of the Iwagakure troops. The shrunken clone was even faster than the original, catching up with the Iwagakure troops in just a few breaths.

It's another unstoppable mowing down of enemies!

The clone moved with unimpeded speed, leaving a trail of blood wherever it went. With each rapid impact, the clone began to grow larger, and the energy for the next explosion was about to be fully charged.

Even if it doesn't kill the Tsuchikage, it can still blast these Iwagakure people half to death!

Hozuki Gengetsu happily activated his killing mode, only to realize before he knew it that Tsuchikage Mu was flying towards him!

"Got you!"

Once Tsuchikage had pinpointed Hozuki Gengetsu's location, he rushed towards him at lightning speed. Hozuki Gengetsu was now severely exhausted and was definitely no match for him.

While hiding and fleeing, Hozuki Gengetsu summoned his clones to return at top speed.

"Still trying to run?"

"Just surrender obediently."

Tsuchikage increased his speed and decreased his altitude, constantly approaching Hozuki Gengetsu. White light condensed in his hand; this distance was enough to kill Hozuki Gengetsu.

In the end, I won this battle.

Tsuchikage was incredibly excited. He was the one who had caused him to become this grotesque creature, and now it was finally time for him to take revenge.

Hozuki Gengetsu looked back at the white light that was about to condense, realizing that his strength was about to give out and he was really going to die here this time.

Realizing there was no hope of escape, Hozuki Gengetsu hardened his heart, determined to take someone down with him even in death. He turned away and stopped running, using his remaining strength to fire two water bullets to buy some time.

Tsuchikage easily dodged the water bullet, and the light in his hand intensified.

"Don't run away?"

"Prepare to accept your fate!"

Looking at the panting and nearly exhausted Hozuki Gengetsu, Tsuchikage felt an immense sense of satisfaction. The thought of his nemesis dying at his hands made him tremble with excitement. What should I say at this moment?

This is an enemy I've been entangled with for most of my life, so I have to give an acceptance speech.

Tsuchikage paused for a few seconds, just about to say something, when he saw Hozuki Gengetsu reveal a sinister smile.

"Mummy, you think you've won?"

Let's go to hell together!

Tsuchikage Mu then realized that Hozuki Gengetsu's clone had arrived, and immediately put down the Dust Release technique he had almost fully charged, intending to increase the distance between them.

With his last bit of strength, Hozuki Gengetsu leaped and grabbed Tsuchikage Mu, who was three or four meters above the ground.

"boom"

A loud bang was heard, and the clone controlled by Hozuki Gengetsu exploded, the intense heat and steam instantly taking the lives of two people.

Two sworn enemies, who only hate each other and have no love for each other, join hands to go to the Yellow Springs!

The loud explosion attracted the attention of Kirigakure and Iwagakure, and both sides dispatched ninjas to rush over to investigate the situation.

The inevitable result was another fierce battle between the two sides, which continued until it attracted the attention of Konoha, forcing them to retreat.

As the First Shinobi World War was drawing to a close, all the Second Kage of the five great ninja villages had perished.

Uchiha Nan, who was far away in Konoha Village, received the news that very day. Overjoyed, he immediately relayed the message to Nara Shikato.

At the same time, Konoha ninjas were dispatched to maintain order in the futures trading hall, to prevent those idiots who had lost so much money from smashing it up.

This damn war is finally going to end!

Thinking about the profits from this futures trade, Uchiha Nan felt a sense of satisfaction.

Mito Uzumaki has been giving me attitude for so long, this time I'm going to slap her face with money!

Chapter 80 Mito Uzumaki, you don't look well. Should we see a doctor?

Futures Trading Hall

It's fallen again.

"It has been slowly declining for three consecutive days."

"Brothers, I can't hold on any longer, I'm running away."

"."

The hall was as crowded as usual, but the atmosphere had become incredibly oppressive.

The real big players, Konoha and Daimyo, have almost completely withdrawn their funds. The slow rise in the past was just the last gasp of this pig iron futures market.

Large room

Kakuzu's dark green pupils stared at the three consecutive days of losses, and he was filled with anxiety.

The price of pig iron has now returned to the level it was at during White Fang's last speech, the day Kakuzu went all in with the rest of his money.

If they cut their losses now, Kakuzu would still be making a huge profit, but Kakuzu is unwilling to give up!

Kakuzu used his intelligence channels to find out that Kirigakure had landed in the Land of Fire and clashed with Konoha. There were even rumors that Kirigakure had gone north to attack Iwagakure.

Kakuzu simply smiled at this rumor: "Fake news!"

The fact that Kirigakure could land at a port that was almost halfway across the Land of Fire was simply too far-fetched, and Kakuzu didn't even take it seriously.

There's so much news, both true and false, about war.

However, the news that the Fourth Shinobi World War is escalating is true. Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure have all joined the war, and it's not impossible that Sunagakure and Kumogakure will join the war again in the future.

Logically speaking, the price of pig iron should continue to rise after its skyrocketing, and there's no reason for it to fall for three consecutive days!

There's definitely something fishy going on here!

There is reason to suspect that this drop was an organized sell-off by futures buyers who wanted to dump shares and then buy at the bottom!

I won't fall for it!

Hold onto your chips and patiently wait for the right opportunity to soar to new heights. Running away and getting off the bus at that point is the behavior of a novice investor.

Kakuzu comforted himself, his gaze drifting towards the room where Sakumo was. He could vaguely see Sakumo still sitting in his chair, reading a book at a leisurely pace.

If Master White Fang didn't panic, what reason do I have to worry?

Before Bai Ya, the spiritual pillar of the leeks, could speak, the leeks in the lobby on the first floor were basically wanting to run away but not daring to, all waiting for Bai Ya to come out and give them some guidance.

Three or four more days passed, and the nobles and merchants of the Land of Fire still managed to obtain the latest news about the ninja battlefield.

The Mizukage and Tsuchikage perished together. After the Iwagakure and Kirigakure forces clashed, they began a large-scale withdrawal from the battlefield. The Konoha ninja army swept through the enemy lines, reclaiming lost territory along the way!

This war, which could very well have swept across the entire ninja world again, ended in less than two months.

And just like that, the great battle was over!

The insects were so frightened by this news that they held a meeting overnight, and there was only one core issue at play!

Please leave the market in an orderly manner. If everyone sells their futures together, they will destroy the entire market.

The meeting was filled with bickering and insults, with everyone wanting to be among the first to profit. The "insects" had already added to their positions at the peak, and if they sold now, they could still make a profit. But if the news reached those troublemakers, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.

Nobles have power, and they can slowly recover their losses if they run out of money. Merchants, on the other hand, are in a much worse situation. They are engaged in physical trade, and the chain reaction of a broken cash flow could lead to their bankruptcy.

However, it was all too late. While they were arguing and bickering, Konoha had withdrawn its last bit of funds. Uchiha Nan gave the order to start spreading the news of Konoha's great victory throughout the Land of Fire, and the First Shinobi World War ended.

The shadows of earth and water perished together.

The Hokage is about to convene the Five Kage Summit to discuss how to build a new order in the post-war ninja world.

All sorts of rumors were spreading wildly throughout the Land of Fire, claiming that the entire futures trading hall belonged to Konoha. Naturally, such news reached the ears of the retail investors very quickly.

While the insects were still bickering, the price of pig iron futures began to plummet at an unbelievable rate, suffocating them completely.

A green downward curve pierced the eyes of retail investors, who frantically rushed to the trading window to sell their futures contracts, only to find the market filled with sell orders and devoid of buy orders.

The farmers could only lower and adjust the prices again and again, but the more they did this, the less they could sell.

Panic has permeated the entire market, and in just two days, prices have almost returned to their initial starting point, with pig iron prices reaching 630,000 taels per ton.

The price surge of more than a month was brought back to its original level in just two days, as if it were a dream.

Cries of anguish, curses, and regretful confessions echoed throughout the futures trading hall. Fortunately, Uchiha Nan had made preparations in advance and dispatched a large number of Konoha ninjas and soldiers under the Daimyo to jointly suppress the riot.

However, Uchiha Nan could only maintain the stability of the futures trading hall; he couldn't control anything outside of it.

The spectacular sight of aerial acrobatics swept across the Land of Fire like a whirlwind. In the capital alone, hundreds of people committed suicide by jumping off buildings every day. They were all true gamblers who had gone mad by mortgaging their family property, and some even borrowed money from loan sharks.

To these people, all I can say is that they deserve to die!

Large room

Kakuzu hadn't slept for two days and two nights. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was slumped weakly on the sofa, looking completely exhausted.
