Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

.......

This war lasted for a full two years!

During these two long years, the Land of Earth suffered an assassination attempt from the Hidden Mist Village, and their territory was severely damaged. The ninja villages were almost completely conquered by the enemy.

Sadly, the second Tsuchikage, Mu, and Hozuki Gengetsu both died heroically, reaching the end of their lives together.

Even Onoki, known as the "Two Scales," was not spared. He was so badly beaten in the battle that he almost became withdrawn.

Upon learning of the Land of Earth's urgent distress signal, the Land of Fire responded immediately.

An elite ninja team was dispatched to support the Land of Earth.

At the same time, the Land of Earth paid a high price to receive aid from its neighbor, the Land of Wind.

Thus, the three powerful nations joined forces, and several powerful individuals with Kage-level strength launched a brutal siege against the ninjas of the Land of Water.

Faced with the siege of the three-nation allied forces, Kirigakure quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and suffered repeated defeats.

They were forced to return Iwagakure, which they had already successfully occupied, to the Land of Earth.

Worse still, many members of the shadowy organization hidden in the dark suffered heavy casualties in the fierce battle.

.......

On this day, near the sea in the Land of Earth, the first time the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU ninjas set foot on the sea, they proved the strength of the Hidden Mist Village.

The sea breeze howled, the waves surged, and the sky was gloomy and dark, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

"Lord Mizukage, you should go first! There are too many enemies!!"

The three remaining Kirigakure ANBU Jonin looked solemnly at the enemy in front of them and spoke firmly to Uchiha Shizumi behind them, who was clutching her arm.

At this moment, Uchiha Shizumi's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and her long hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a chilling aura.

Her cheeks were slightly pale, but that couldn't hide her resilience and courage.

After more than two years of fighting and growth, Uchiha Shizumi is no longer the naive girl she once was.

Her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and she became a true powerhouse.

And she has quietly turned eighteen, gradually revealing a mature charm.

As she grew up, she became graceful and tall, with a particularly well-developed bust. If Gu Mu were here and saw such a transformation, he probably wouldn't be able to resist revealing a wicked, mischievous smile.

"That way!!"

A roar came from afar, and Tobirama Senju personally led the Anbu and the allied forces of the three great ninja nations, approaching this place menacingly.

They numbered in the hundreds of Jonin, surrounding Uchiha Shizumi and his companions, forming a tight encirclement.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Uchiha Shizumi showed no fear in her eyes. Rather, she had no fear since the moment Koki died, not even of death itself.

"superior!!"

With a command, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the lead, followed by several shadow clones.

"Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!!"

A terrifying amount of chakra covered Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth, and the chakra of the five different attributes—fire, lightning, water, earth, and wind—began to converge and erupt.

A devastating explosion occurred on Uchiha Shizumizu's side.

To be honest, Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely surprised when he learned that Shizuku Uchiha had become the Second Mizukage and was the culprit who started the First Shinobi World War.

He was even more surprised to learn that Koki had been killed by Madara Uchiha several years earlier.

"I....."

After the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Koharu Utatane's face was filled with intense emotions. She never expected that the legendary war maniac 'Iron-Faced Fox' would actually be the same Uchiha Shizumizu who was unusually gentle to others.

"boom!!"

In the massive explosion, the three Kirigakure ANBU members who stood in front of Uchiha Shizumi were fatally injured on the spot.

As for Uchiha Shizumizu, she is now completely blind, and her once clear and beautiful eyes have become empty and lifeless.

During this period of escape, the chakra in his body had been completely exhausted.

She knew that she, this demon, deserved her final punishment.

Seeing the Jonin swarming around him, Uchiha Shizumizu had no power to resist.

She quietly closed her eyes, murmuring softly, "Gu Mu, I really tried my best. But I'm tired. Can I get some sleep?"

Her words were filled with heartbreaking sorrow. Who would have thought that Uchiha Shizumizu would feel heartbroken for a long time just from seeing a small animal die?

Five years after the old tree's death, what exactly happened to make it like this?

"Pfft!!"

Several long swords pierced through Uchiha Shizumizu's chest in an instant, and blood gushed from the wounds, staining her clothes red.

She was very afraid of pain, but this pain was nothing compared to the loss of the ancient tree.

Uchiha Shizuru's body trembled slightly, his face as pale as paper, but he revealed a relieved smile.

Her mind kept replaying the moments she had spent with Gu Mu, those happy times seemed to be right before her eyes.

At this moment, those beautiful memories became her solace in her final moments.

"Gu Mu, this time... this time, I can finally be with you~"

Uchiha Shizumi muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, her hand gradually losing strength, and the Muramasa sword slowly fell to the ground.

Her life was slowly fading away, and her body was beginning to grow cold.

At this moment, she can finally let go of all her burdens and pain and reunite with Gu Mu.

.....

This battle is hailed as the beginning of the First Shinobi World War and is remembered by later generations. Uchiha Shizumi's fame has even been regarded as an idol by some warmongers.

As for the demon sword Muramasa in her hands, it went through several owners after her death, but none of them were able to truly control it.

Decades later, this cursed sword ended up in the hands of an elite ninja named Orochimaru.

Chapter 74 Chunin Exams, Edo Tensei!!

The 60th anniversary of Konoha's founding is an important milestone.

A long time has passed since the end of the Third Shinobi World War.

After sixty years of vigorous development, Konoha Village has become increasingly powerful.

The village is filled with bustling buildings, and the scenery on both sides of the street is breathtaking.

Today, Konoha Village is hosting a major event – ​​the Chunin Exams.

All countries actively participated, with the Fourth Kazekage even making a personal appearance, sitting side by side with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to observe the assessment together.

"Lightning Blade? A ninjutsu that cuts through lightning?"

Sakura Haruno kept her eyes fixed on the audience below. Sasuke Uchiha unleashed an arm imbued with lightning power at an astonishing speed, easily piercing Gaara's sand shell defense.

A look of admiration and surprise appeared on her face.

As for Xiao Li beside her, his pupils were wide open, and his face was covered in a cold sweat.

Previously, when he fought Uchiha Sasuke, he said something like, "My eyes are looking over, but my body can't keep up."

But now, Uchiha Sasuke not only possesses a body capable of high-speed movement, but also the Sharingan.

As for Naruto Uzumaki, who was not far away, he had just been worried that Sasuke Uchiha would not be able to win, but now his face showed a hint of jealousy.

However, just as everyone was amazed by Sasuke's strength...

Suddenly, white feathers began to flutter in the sky.

These feathers seemed to have a life of their own, slowly drifting down.

In an instant, most of the ninjas who were watching the battle felt dizzy, their heads lolled to the side, and they fainted.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud bang came from Konoha Village, and the ground began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, huge snakes emerged from the ground, hissing as they spread outwards.

This scene shocked everyone, and the Konoha Collapse Plan officially began.

......

In a corner of Konoha Village, a group of ninjas dressed in black and wearing masks were moving quietly.

They are the elite of Konoha's Anbu, but at this moment they are shouldering a special mission—to protect the village from threats.

Just as Konoha was in turmoil, Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, suddenly took action.

He flashed forward, a sharp kunai gripping his hand, and pressed it against Hiruzen Sarutobi's neck, dragging him to the top of the attic.

At the same time, the other four Sound Ninja also sprang into action, quickly sealing off the four corners of the attic.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

The four of them roared at the same time, and a barrier of purple flames rose from the ground, tightly trapping the two of them on the upper floor of the pavilion.
