Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 145 End of Volume

The Cloud Ninja Front.

A large area of forest was riddled with holes and craters, and not a single intact tree could be seen.

Even the distant cliffs shattered.

On a barren piece of land, Lei Yingai knelt on one knee, clutching his shoulder where there was a deep gash that revealed bone, his gaze fixed on the figure in front of him.

"We lost again."

This was his second encounter with White Fang, and he still lost to White Fang's blade.

White Fang was also kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, and a nick had appeared on the short sword passed down from the Hatake clan in his hand.

It looks like it will break after a few more uses.

He didn't win easily against Raikage Ai either.

"Is the third level really that strong?" Ai asked coldly.

The Cloud Village's understanding of sealing techniques is at most limited to the second level of modification; they lack sufficient knowledge of sealing techniques for the third level.

"I haven't arrived yet." White Fang shook his head; the difficulty of the third level was now a major obstacle for everyone.

For the Konoha ninja, the problem was that their chakra was always insufficient.

Even White Fang was expending a lot of chakra in his battle with A, which greatly increased the distance between him and the third level.

"The third level," Ai muttered to himself. Just approaching this stage was already proving so troublesome for White Fang.

It seems we must find a way to break through the third layer.

Ai suddenly had an idea: Wasn't Konoha the place with the most ninjutsu?

But looking at the white teeth in front of them, as long as he was alive, they had no chance at all.

That strike that could cleave mountains apart has never been used by the opponent.

This wasn't even their full strength.

I wonder if Brubi has captured Uchiha Kin. Perhaps this creator of basic internal energy is their breakthrough point.

Just as he was wondering why he hadn't heard any fighting sounds from Brubi's side,

A figure was thrown over from a distance. Upon seeing the familiar figure, Lei Ying Ai's pupils shrank, and he jumped up, caught the figure, and landed on the ground.

Seeing that Brubi had fallen into a coma, Ai's face darkened, and he looked at Uchiha Kin, who had appeared next to White Fang.

"What did you do to him?"

"I wanted to do it, but unfortunately I didn't succeed." Kim looked at Brubi with a face full of disdain.

Despite being portrayed as a fragile person in the Naruto anime, the reality is quite the opposite; Brubi's willpower is terrifyingly resilient.

In the subsequent battles in the mental world, he began to torment Burubi, trying to break through his mental will and then control the Eight-Tails.

However, no matter how much Brubi was tortured, her mental will never collapsed, and she stubbornly blocked Jin's Soul-Brightening Technique.

Since he couldn't control the Eight-Tails, King naturally disliked it.

Raikage Ai's cold gaze fell upon Jin.

Jin grinned at him, his raised hand gripping the hilt of the knife, and the shattered blade began to coalesce into a new blade.

"Now I can keep you all here."

Ai's expression changed. He knew about Uchiha Kin's strength before, and in his current state, the other party was capable of doing it.

Moreover, there was no sign of exhaustion on Jin's body.

But he remained stubborn.

"The Uchiha clan is nothing special."

That's what he said, but his actions didn't match. Holding Brubi, he transformed into blue lightning and retreated quickly.

Only White Fang and Gold remained.

At this time.

Jin was still holding the knife, his gaze fixed on the departing blue lightning.

"You actually let them go?"

White Fang's voice was no longer as relaxed as before, but heavy, and his grip on the hilt of the knife tightened.

"Yeah?"

Jin looked at Baiya with a smile, grinning to reveal his snow-white teeth.

"Is it not allowed, Lord White Fang?"

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. The two remained in their positions, neither making any further moves.

The smell of gunpowder gradually intensified.

A truth hidden beneath their constant banter and arguments is about to be revealed.

"Lord White Fang."

A voice suddenly broke the silence between the two.

Aburame Shiki suddenly appeared between the two, as if she hadn't seen anything.

"The battle in the Land of Rain has ended. The three legendary Sannin of Konoha have simultaneously repelled the demigod Hanzo, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, and the Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"And the Mizukage of Kirigakure was defeated by Lord Might Guy."

"Did we win?" White Fang slowly exhaled.

This three-year war has finally come to an end.

It ended with Konoha declaring victory.

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving news that the Land of Rain had defeated the Three Kage.

"We won."

The victory in this war did not signify the complete end of World War II; it merely marked the end of the war itself.

Until the war is completely over.

"Thanks to you, Danzo." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo standing beside him.

"I've already said it," Danzo sneered. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You can't win if you only focus on defense."

Upon learning that the Land of Rain had become a trap, Danzo immediately appeared in the Hokage's office and ordered Hiruzen Sarutobi to issue a strong attack order.

Danzo has always been a proponent of war.

Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to, but news came from the Land of Rain that three Kage had appeared.

Hesitation would be a cardinal sin in war, so he took Danzo's advice and ordered a direct attack on the border.

This also forced the few Kage who appeared in the Land of Rain to return home to defend their country.

"The most important thing now is to continue the attack. We have the momentum of victory over the Land of Rain, enough to tear a piece of flesh off them."

Danzo had already planned it out; he would take this opportunity to have everyone on the defensive.

Just a feint.

Konoha concentrated all its forces to take down the Sand Village, which had suffered the greatest losses.

With him and Hiruzen Sarutobi working together, plus White Fang and the current Sannin, Sunagakure would definitely be no match for them.

They conquered Sunagakure, took over the Land of Wind, and then plotted to seize the Land of Rock.

As long as Konoha can withstand the temporary alliance of other ninja villages, it will inevitably grow stronger and stronger, and then gradually devour the ninja world.

"Enough." Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Danzo's fantasy.

"Konoha can't afford any more trouble."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to take that risk; Konoha had lost nearly a third of its ninjas in this war.

If the fighting continues, it could even bring down the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Danzo slammed both hands on the table and stared directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen! This is your only chance! If you miss it, there won't be another one!"

At this point, no matter what Konoha does, the other ninja villages will tolerate it for a while, but they won't find such a good opportunity again.

"That's enough, Danzo. Konoha can't afford to start another war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"I am the Hokage! Danzo!"

Neither of them would back down, and in the end, Danzo, his face ashen, chose to leave.
