Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 367 Interlude

Mountain cemetery.

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes; the Sharingan in his left eye had become dim.

This is the price of escaping from the clutches of the king.

The vanished Black Zetsu reappears here.

"Madara, how was the battle?"

Given the intensity of the battle, he dared not linger for long and chose to leave immediately.

"We lost, we lost completely."

Despite this being another defeat since Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha showed no sign of dejection, and his smile remained unchanged.

"Only a ninja world with such powerful individuals is interesting."

"Madara!" Black Zetsu called out, reminding us, "Don't forget our purpose."

Madara frowned and glanced at Black Zetsu. As the embodiment of his will, how could Black Zetsu not understand his feelings?

A faint doubt arose in my heart.

Black Zetsu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Madara Uchiha's furrowed brows; he knew he was being too hasty.

As the number of powerful ninjas increased, he felt that his chances of rescuing his mother were dwindling.

He was ultimately affected.

"After all, peace in the ninja world is our constant hope."

Madara Uchiha nodded in response to Black Zetsu's words.

He suppressed his doubts.

After all, he doesn't have much time left.

"The rest I need you to do is help Obito and keep an eye on him."

Black Zetsu nodded.

"Next."

Madara Uchiha's body suddenly began to show abnormalities; his originally black hair gradually turned white, and wrinkles began to appear on his face.

"That's your problem now."

He has done everything he could.

"Then I'll be leaving now."

Black Zetsu nodded. It was indeed too difficult for Madara to do anything now.

Black Zetsu's body continued to sink into the ground.

When only Madara and a group of White Zetsu remained in the entire underground space.

"Hope cannot be placed on one person."

Madara Uchiha looked at the newly repaired gate.

He closed his eyes.

"Reincarnation Technique! Activate!"

After Madara Uchiha refined it over a period of time, the success rate of this ninjutsu greatly increased.

The body began to show signs of petrification.

"The chakra within the human body is ultimately insufficient."

There is still a lot of natural energy in the ninja world.

Through research conducted in other ninja villages, Madara Uchiha had mastered the method of controlling natural forces.

"It will just take a few years."

More and more of Madara Uchiha's body was petrified, from his limbs to his torso, all the way up to his neck.

"I look forward to your ninja world."

Petrification gradually spread across his face.

"Uchiha Kin".

Until his entire face and eyes were petrified.

Madara Uchiha was completely turned into a stone statue.

The life force of Uchiha Madara within the stone sculpture also completely dissipated.

A layer of chakra, barely perceptible to the naked eye, surged from his body and gradually disappeared from Madara Uchiha's body.

Hidden Mist Front, Konoha Camp.

The people of Konoha looked at the huge black portal in the sky, and everyone had mixed feelings.

At the moment the battle began.

So they chose to escape back.

However, the unclosed portal allowed them to clearly see everything that was happening in Kirigakure.

The fierce battle between the two giants, the earth-shattering scene, terrified them.

As the battle came to an end.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Is Kirigakure gone?"

Immediately, everyone's expression became complicated. The biggest casualties in this battle were the Mist Ninja, with a large number of Mist Ninja dying in the fight between the two.

This also indicates that...

Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, was completely removed from the list.

The remaining ninjas might not even be as good as those from small ninja villages.

Jin's figure flew out of the portal, and the scene of Kirigakure gradually disappeared into the sphere, leaving only darkness slowly dissipating between heaven and earth.

"Gentlemen."

"We won."

Upon hearing the news of the victory, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, they felt no joy, but rather a strange feeling.

Such a large ninja village simply vanished.

That's a major ninja village comparable to Konoha.

"It was Lord Kim who brought us victory."

Some people instantly snapped out of their daze and immediately erupted in cheers.

Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Kin Uchiha-sama!!"

"Uchiha!!"

Some cheered for Kim, while others cheered for the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, Konoha achieved an unprecedented and absolute victory.

Jin wore an ambiguous smile.

The feat of destroying a ninja village.

That's enough to oust Hiruzen Sarutobi from his position.

The battle for the Hokage title is about to begin.

In a desolate wilderness of the Water Kingdom.

The disheveled Yuan Shi looked around at the remaining Mist Ninja.

That battle is gone, but the price was the destruction of the Mist Ninja.

"The third floor."

Master Yuan sighed.

Turning his head to look at many of the Mist Ninja, most of them were highly talented children and some were ninjas.

Terumi Mei stepped forward and said.

"Currently, there are 564 survivors in the Hidden Mist Village."

Upon hearing this number, the Yuan Master felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his body uncontrollably plummeted downwards.

"Master!"

Everyone rushed forward to hold Yuan Shi back. Now, the Mist Ninja only had this one backbone left. If they lost him, they wouldn't know who would give orders.

Yagura sighed.

He looked at Mei Terumi and said.

"Now we need to find a habitat, preferably the resurrected Three-Tailed Fox."

"We urgently need combat power."

The destruction of Kirigakure will have a significant impact, and many small countries and ninja villages will inevitably take action against them.

If they retain enough strength, they can fight back.

But they are no match for those small ninja villages now.

There were only five hundred ninjas.

This number is enough to support a small ninja village, but they are facing far more than just a small ninja village.

Now, the Mist Ninja no longer has the confidence to continue protecting the Land of Water.

In this situation, as long as the Land of Water cedes its interests to other major powers, it shouldn't have much of a problem surviving; they can hire the ninja villages of those major powers.

But the fate of the Hidden Mist Village might not be so good.

"yes!"

Terumi knelt down in front of Yagura.

The person before me is the only remaining high-level combatant in Kirigakure.

"What we need now is to find a place to hide."

Yagura Karatachi addressed the crowd.

At the same time, commands are assigned.

This also means that Kirigakure has completely abandoned the support of the Land of Water and will move from the open to the covert.

This will lead to a less than optimistic financial situation.

But they had no other choice.

Mei Terumi walked to the edge of the cliff in the mountains and looked down into the distant forest, where huge slash marks appeared.

"Can someone who's this badly even be considered human?"
