Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Orders were issued from Konoha and sent to the rear of the battlefield via various base stations.

However, this was only an order to the borders of the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning. For high-end combat forces, communication was accomplished through a connection previously established by the Mountain Clan.

"Naruto..."

Shikamaru looked at the older members of Team 7 in front of him, as well as Uchiha Yu, who had already awakened his bloodline power.

"I need you to eliminate the enemies of the Land of Earth as quickly as possible. If Kaguya appears during this time, then use Sasuke's Amenotejikara as the main ability to drag her into another dimension so that Naruto and Sasuke can fight her."

"The Amenotejikara can instantly switch positions with the enemy. This ability has a high success rate when used to catch people off guard. However, Sasuke is also one of the people who launched the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei. Therefore, I can only use this attack to switch battlefields."

Then Shikamaru looked at Yu and Hinata: "The power of the Tenseigan, the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion is suitable for large-scale attacks. As for Yu's Rinnegan, once you've identified the right opportunity, communicate with him promptly, and I'll make sure you're ready to unleash Planetary Devastation."

"Eliminate the enemy's largest number of personnel as soon as possible. As for the things Amado created, we can deal with them later."

Hinata asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why not take down the strongest one first?"

Shikamaru exhaled and frowned as he looked outside.

"Winning a war is like playing chess. No matter how many pieces you eliminate, if you are in check, then no matter how many enemies you eliminate, you still lose."

"A strategic victory is the only true victory."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu asked, "Have you guessed their purpose?"

Shikamaru shook his head slightly: "Not yet. However... I've been thinking that if the so-called purpose of rebellion is also to plant the God Tree, then after Kumo and Uzumaki Sora are restricted, with Kaguya Otsutsuki and the power to change perception, the other party should come directly to Konoha."

"You must understand that the center of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is now Konoha. The sealing power granted by the Sage of Six Paths requires Naruto and Sasuke to simultaneously strike it. To catch them off guard and target Konoha from top to bottom would be even more..."

Shikamaru stopped there.

A flash of inspiration crossed my mind and then vanished.

opposite……

But that's not right either. If the operation against Konoha succeeds, chaos will engulf the entire ninja world within three days.

So... what if the other party can't wait?

What factions do the Sage of Six Paths, Kumo, and Uzumaki Sora belong to? Are they on the positive side of the world?

Although it seems incredibly unbelievable, combined with the information we already have, it is still the final answer.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he didn't show it.

He then looked at everyone.

"Gentlemen... according to the information brought by the Sage of Six Paths, this war will concern all living beings in the world, and not just humans. I urge you all... to give it your all!"

……

The Land of Earth.

The enemy, who had begun their blatant invasion from the border, had now penetrated deep into the heart of the Land of Earth and was not far from Iwagakure.

In fact, if it weren't for the rapid transmission of intelligence and Kurotsuchi and the others' use of Konoha's spatial portal to return to the rescue, the entire Land of Earth would probably already be engulfed in carnage.

In the sky, a large white bird flew across, and small white clay spiders fell down, their central blooms blasting a bunch of white Zetsu away.

"Hahahaha! You bunch of bastards, have you witnessed my art yet?!"

Standing atop the giant clay bird, Deidara trembled with excitement: "You monsters! Black Zetsu got taken care of by Boss Kong, and you've all gone crazy? That's just... great!"

Tears streaming down his face, Deidara tilted his head back and said, "Do you know how long I've been holding this in? If it weren't for... if it weren't for the fear of being turned into a pig and thrown into a pigpen, I would have gone insane long ago!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a colossal dragon emerged from the smoke and flew towards the center of the enemy.

Below, Hidan's three-month scythe was being wielded and slashed everywhere, and he didn't care at all even though his body was already mutilated.

If it weren't for that excruciating, stomach-churning experience, he would have gone mad long ago.

I've been holding it in for far too long, far too long.

I originally thought that Akatsuki was an organization that could realize Lord Jashin's ideal of spreading his teachings, but now it seems that it is simply a cage, and there is also that terrifying devil!

……

"Lord Tsuchikage, reinforcements from the Reanimation Jutsu of the Pure Land have arrived. Shall we launch a counterattack?"

Panting heavily, Black Soil, who had just formed a hand seal to crush a bunch of split entities into dust, was somewhat exhausted, but still dared not lie down to rest.

From the day she became the Fourth Tsuchikage, she had to be responsible for all the people of the Land of Earth.

Submitting to Konoha was for this reason, and joining a member state was for the same reason.

That's why it's happening now.

"Immediately notify all combat teams to begin the withdrawal."

"A pullback?"

"Follow orders! This is the highest command from the wartime general staff!"

"Yes! And Deidara and that one..."

"Have the sensory unit notify them, and also tell the support ninjas resurrected with Edo Tensei that because of their immortality, they should delay them a bit."

"clear!"

……

In an instant, all the Iwagakure ninja on the battlefield began to retreat, including the resurrected Explosion Release ninja, Kari, and...

"boom!!!"

Rising from the ground, the earthen walls acted like a perimeter, isolating the battlefield behind the retreating forces.

Kurotsuchi, who had just used a wide-range ninjutsu once again, was dizzy, but her eyes were fixed on the distance.

It was a very short figure, old and frail, but all the Iwagakure ninjas over thirty years old were staring at it intently.

The resurrected Onoki turned around, smiled at his granddaughter, and then pressed his hands down.

The next moment, a cylindrical beam of light took shape, and as Onoki flew through the air, all the White Zetsu and their clones that were approaching under Dust Release were directly annihilated and vaporized.

"Old man!!"

After looking ahead, Onoki sighed and landed next to Kurotsuchi.

For a moment, the Fourth Tsuchikage, who had always been submissive and never cried, was now in tears.

"You did a great job, why are you crying? Are you upset?"

Heitu wiped his eyes: "Who's crying? It's just the sandstorm on the battlefield. There's nothing to be upset about; it was expected, wasn't it?"

Onoki sighed, "The world really is changing. Uchiha Kumo wasn't wrong, and neither was Uzumaki Sora. Those of us who see things are just remnants of the times."

Then Onoki suddenly laughed again: "However, when the whole world is facing a foreign enemy, even the remnants of the era can exert their power."

"Protect the Land of Earth. As long as everyone can live in a peaceful environment, nothing else matters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Onoki rose into the air with unlimited chakra. Even under the Impure World Reincarnation, he no longer suffered from back pain and immediately launched into Dust Release.

For a time, with the support of a large number of reanimated ninjas, the almost endless enemy was not allowed to break through the defense line.

"boom!!"

Four crimson beams pierced through, and Onoki looked at the hole in his abdomen, where paper-like ashes were repairing it.

"Tsk tsk tsk... They're really troublesome."

The android, whose entire body was covered in scientific ninja tools, shook its head slightly and dodged the giant rock hand that emerged from the ground in a flash.

"You will not succeed, I... will not let you through here."

"Whoosh!"

A cold light flashed, and the newly recovered body of the Impure Earth Hidden Cave was once again split in two.

The energy lightsaber dissipated from his hand, and another android scoffed, "Nearly immortal bodies, yet your speed is still limited by your physical form—too slow!"

The next moment, Onoki's head was severed.

But the paper-like ashes gathered again, only to be scattered once more.

The two androids slowly put on their gloves and took out a black rod.

"The era of ninjas is over, you old codger! Why can't you understand? You're all just waste in the nursery; only by dying can this world live on!"

The black rod fell in an instant.

"Bang!"

A black Truth-Seeking Ball knocked the black rod away, and outside the spatial passage, Konoha's reinforcements had arrived.

Naruto retrieved his Truth-Seeking Balls and said in a deep voice, "Each unit should act independently and finish this quickly!"

"clear!"

In an instant, three figures began to rush towards the area with the most enemies.

Hinata's eyes shone brightly, and Truth-Seeking Balls began to coalesce beneath her Reincarnation Eyes. She reached out her hand...

Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

Under the interaction of forces, a tornado-like force swept over all the White Zetsu and their clones in front of them.

On the other side, Yu directly used Shinra Tensei to clear a path, and his whole body continued to move towards the inner center.

Sasuke, using his Rinnegan with its six tomoe, was alert to his surroundings and casually unleashed a bolt of lightning to seal off the last blockage.

Finally, Yu, who had rushed into the center, reached out and threw a piece of black energy with immense internal gravity into the air.

In an instant, the sand, rocks, and trees on the ground all rushed into the air.

One by one, the White Zetsu were sucked in and crushed, and the split bodies were subjected to the same treatment.

"Bang!"

Yu caught the black, glowing punch and looked at the newcomer: "Your fist is hard. According to intelligence, it's the ability to carbonize your own skin? Then you must be good at hand-to-hand combat. But you're really unlucky to have chosen me."

The newcomer grinned and said, "Rinnegan, so you're Uchiha Yun's only son, right? You're quite the big fish..."

The Earth Explosion Star had already formed, and Yu turned around to look at the other party.

The next moment, the Eight Gates opened all the way to the Gate of Death, and Yu's speed was unbelievable.

With a kick and a punch, the arrogant guy was sent flying.

"They really are all defenseless except for their mouths."

……

Not far away, Naruto, who had already received a gift from the Sage of Six Paths, unleashed his Truth-Seeking Balls, annihilating all the enemies rushing towards him.

Hinata went even further, as few survived the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. Over the years, she had fully mastered the power of those eyes.

However, at that moment, a white figure appeared from not far away, soaring through the air.

The moment it appeared, the previously overwhelming disparity in power caused both Team 7 and Hinata to pause in surprise.

She's here after all... Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Whoosh!"

In just a moment, his figure had already arrived behind Naruto.

"Asuras and Indra? You two... are you also going to stop me?"

The moment the sound rang out, Naruto found himself unable to move.

How... is this possible!?

How could that be?

After being granted the power of the Six Paths by the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto could feel that his power had reached a terrifying level.

The Truth-Seeking Balls are invincible, and the primal power of chakra can be used without hand seals.

But now... why can't I even move?

Kaguya reached out, wanting to stroke Naruto's cheek, but the next moment...

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Naruto disappeared from Kaguya's sight, and she herself was transported to another dimension.

"How's it going, Naruto?"

Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto, having just used Amenotejikara and a spatial portal to catch that woman off guard and trap her.

Naruto's gaze was extremely solemn: "She is much stronger than we imagined. Just now, I couldn't move at all, and I even felt that I was just a hair's breadth away from being killed by her."

Unable to move?

Sasuke frowned: "No matter what, we can't let her make this the battlefield. You know how terrifying the Truth-Seeking Balls are."

The two exchanged a glance, registered their information, and then stepped directly into the spatial passage.

……

"What...is she doing?"

"I don't know, but this might be an opportunity."

"Then let's give it a try."

After saying that, Naruto created a large number of shadow clones, which surged towards the opponent.

Within the alternate dimension, shadow clones were destroyed one after another. Beneath the white smoke, strands of long hair transformed into senbon needles pierced through numerous shadow clones.

Coming to her senses, Kaguya turned to Sasuke: "You... also want to seal me away again? Indra and Ashura..."

Sasuke frowned slightly and replied, "You still want to destroy this world, so we have no choice but to resist!"

Kaguya: "Destroying this world... You betrayed your own mother for such a reason? You and Hagoromo made the same choice, so die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a casual strike tore through the air. If Naruto hadn't reacted quickly and raised a Truth-Seeking Ball, Sasuke would probably have been killed instantly.

The Eighty Gods' Void Strike, compared to thousands of years ago, has even been enhanced in power.

"You have no chance of winning; you're just ordinary people. If that being wants to reap the rewards, no one can stop it."

"You are my children, and you were born different from them. Pity is an unnecessary emotion."

Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly floated past.

"You have no chance of winning, and even my existence has always been within that person's expectations."

"Your bodies contain the power of the Otsutsuki clan. You are not like the humans in the nursery. You can survive."

As the Truth-Seeking Balls descended, Naruto, also hovering in mid-air, looked at his opponent: "We... from beginning to end, have always been human! Whatever you want to do, you will ultimately be stopped by us!"

"Even the guy behind you, isn't he also restricted by Brother Yun?"
