Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Border of the Land of Lightning.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was shirtless, his muscles bulging like steel.

The blue lightning chakra cloak emitted a piercing crackling sound on his body.

He stared intently ahead.

On the horizon, the dark, imposing army of Konoha was slowly approaching.

"That bastard Chiba didn't come?"

Ai gritted his teeth, letting out a beast-like growl.

The humiliation of six years ago gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake day and night.

He practiced lightning techniques diligently, even at the cost of his life force, all so that he could avenge his previous defeat today.

As a result, Chiba didn't take him seriously at all.

The person leading the group here was a dead man whose body was covered in cracks.

Hashirama Senju stood at the very front of the army.

His empty, earthy eyes held a hint of pity for the younger generation.

"The younger generation these days is really aggressive."

Hashirama Senju crossed his arms, his tone conveying a sense of nonchalant ease born of experience.

"What a manipulated corpse dares to run wild in the Land of Lightning!"

The veins on Ai's forehead suddenly bulged.

He didn't take the Impure World Reincarnation seriously at all.

Intelligence had already analyzed that this technique could only unleash a very small fraction of the deceased's strength.

"Kumakuya warriors, crush this pile of rotten wood!"

Ai's thick arm suddenly swung forward.

Tens of thousands of Cloud Village ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals.

Lightning bolts shot up from the ground, transforming into a raging ocean of lightning.

Hashirama Senju sighed.

He slowly closed his eyes and suddenly clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

"Boom—"

The earth trembled violently, as if some ancient behemoth was turning over underground.

Countless thick tree roots tore through the hard rock layers.

They burst forth from the earth like wildly dancing pythons.

Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World

This isn't some childish ninjutsu like Yamato's; this is the true realm of the gods.

Tens of thousands of towering trees rose from the ground, frantically devouring the surrounding lightning chakra.

The vast ocean of lightning that the Cloud Village ninjas were so proud of couldn't even ignite a single leaf.

"This...how is this possible?"

Ai's pupils trembled violently, and his lightning cloak flickered intensely.

His prized intelligence system became a complete joke at this moment.

This is hardly a matter of exerting only a small portion of one's strength.

This chakra is like an abyss!

Giant vines swept across the battlefield.

Hundreds and thousands of Cloud Village ninjas were sent flying into the air before they even had time to scream.

Blood stained the emerald green leaves red.

The screams were completely drowned out by the roar of the trees growing.

Fugaku Uchiha stood behind Hashirama and drew his ninja sword from his waist.

His Sharingan spun wildly, locking onto the Cloud Village elites who were trying to escape.

"The Uchiha clan, today is the day to make our mark!"

Fugaku Uchiha roared, and his blood-red Susanoo rose from the ground.

Dozens of elite Uchiha members simultaneously awakened their Sharingan.

A barrage of fireballs, mixed with swords in hand, rained down on the enemy ranks like a meteor shower.

The wind fanned the flames, and the Wood Release technique provided the best fuel.

The Cloud Hidden's position instantly transformed into a sea of ​​inferno.

Ai looked at the scene before her in despair.

His proud Cloud Village army couldn't even last ten minutes under the iron hooves of Konoha.

Chiba didn't even need to take action himself.

He used only a modified version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique to completely shatter the Raikage's backbone.

……

The border of the Land of Earth.

On the barren Loess Plateau, sandstorms rage.

"Those rats from Iwagakure still like to play hide-and-seek."

Looking ahead at that rocky canyon.

Tobirama Senju's tone was full of disdain.

Nara Shikaku stood beside Tobirama, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

His brilliant mind was working overtime at that moment.

"Second generation sir."

"The canyon is narrow."

"Iwagakure must have set up a large number of explosive tags and traps."

"That old bastard Onoki is an expert in Dust Release. Once we go deeper, he will definitely flatten the canyon."

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza also tensed up their muscles.

Tobirama Senju glanced at Shikaku.

"The analysis is accurate, but the tactics are too conservative."

Nara Shikaku was stunned.

He didn't understand how to fight in such a desperate situation except by proceeding cautiously step by step.

"In the face of absolute power, any advantage in terrain is a joke."

Tobirama Senju formed hand seals with lightning speed, so fast that Shikaku couldn't even see the afterimage.

Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!

No water source?

Then let's just use chakra to create a vast ocean!

A terrifying amount of water appeared out of nowhere, like a celestial river bursting its banks.

The raging torrent of water, carrying immense force, poured directly into the intricate canyon.

A piercing scream echoed from within the canyon.

Countless Hidden Stone Ninjas hidden in the rock walls were swept out by the raging torrent of water.

Onoki's prized defensive tactics crumbled instantly.

Under Tobirama Senju's control, the water flowed into countless sharp blades, mercilessly reaping lives.

"Hai Yi".

"Sensing the remaining chakra reactions."

Tobirama Senju's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.

Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly came to his senses.

He immediately closed his eyes, and his powerful mental energy enveloped the entire water area.

"Thirteen high-intensity chakra reactions are detected three hundred meters to the left front!"

"An assassination squad is hiding in a crevice in the right-hand mountain wall!"

Tobirama Senju nodded.

"Mattday, go clean it up."

Might Guy, dressed in a green bodysuit, flashed an extremely exaggerated smile.

"Youth is meant to burn brightly in this moment!"

Eight Gates Formation, Sixth Gate - View Gate, Open!

Green steam erupted from Mighty, transforming him into a raging beast.

Pure physical strength created a series of terrifying air explosions on the water's surface.

He didn't even need ninjutsu; he smashed those Iwagakure elites into mincemeat with just his fists and feet.

Nara Shikaku swallowed hard.

He finally understood why Chiba had grouped the Second Hokage with them.

The second generation's tactical acumen is entirely based on overwhelming strength.

This war was never in doubt from the very beginning.

……

The Land of Water, outside the Hidden Mist Village.

The thick fog lingers year-round, and the air is filled with a damp, rusty smell.

Sakumo Hatake stood quietly on the water, carrying his iconic white dagger.

Behind him followed Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

The once high-ranking officials of Konoha.

At this moment, all I can do is obediently follow behind a dead man, just like any ordinary subordinate.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's palms, gripping the Vajra Staff, were covered in cold sweat.

He dared not look at Sakumo Hatake's back; his heart was filled with a mixture of humiliation and fear.

then.

He tacitly approved the rumors and gossip about Shuomao spread by the higher-ups.

Now, Chiba has entrusted their lives to the person they drove to their deaths.

What a cruel and perverse sense of humor.

But...

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even have the courage to resist.

"Five hundred Mist Ninja are hidden in the fog ahead."

Sakumo Hatake finally spoke, his voice as calm as if he were discussing the weather.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a shiver run through his body.

He was about to order the Sarutobi clan ninjas to form a defensive formation when he saw the thick fog on the other side churning violently.

A tall woman with fiery red lips walked out, holding a white flag.

It is the fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

"Everyone in Konoha."

"Kirigakure has no intention of defying Lord Chiba's will."

Mei Terumi spoke in a very low voice, and her body was extremely supple.

She's not stupid; even the brutes of Yunyin were crushed by Chiba alone.

Having survived the Blood Mist Village, what can Kirigakure use to fight Konoha, this war machine?

Sakumo Hatake did not draw his sword.

He simply turned his head and gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a brief, indifferent glance.

"Let the Sarutobi clan handle the matter of receiving prisoners of war."

"If anything goes wrong, you'll be beheaded."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's noodles twitched violently a few times.

He, the dignified Third Hokage, had actually been reduced to doing menial tasks.

But he could only lower his head.

"Yes, Lord Sakumo."

……

The surrounding small countries, such as the Land of Fields and the Land of Snow.

The situation could hardly be called a war; it was entirely a one-sided armed demonstration.

The leaders of those small ninja villages were terrified when they saw the army of Konoha.

They surrendered even faster than the Konoha army marched.

The iron hooves of Konoha, with overwhelming force, were frantically crushing the entire ninja world.
