Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 224 Divine Might!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's December of Konoha Year 45.

The Ninja World War continues.

However, the situation has changed significantly.

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge became a turning point in the war between Konoha and Iwagakure.

Following the defeat on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, Minato Namikaze quickly used the power that Hiruzen Sarutobi had extracted to reclaim the Land of Grass.

On the battlefield of the Land of Rain, when December arrived, the intervention of the Rain Village also brought a turning point.

Amegakure betrayed Iwagakure, causing Iwagakure to collapse immediately.

Having lost its Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Iwagakure found it extremely difficult to withstand the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, who was throwing her Wind Release: Rasenshuriken so powerfully.

However, at this time, Konoha's military strength was almost at its limit.

After much deliberation, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to negotiate with Iwagakure.

Otherwise, let Xingxia Xiu take action.

If this continues, Konoha will suffer great losses, and he feels heartbroken.

On the Hokage Rock.

Hideaki Hoshino and Hiruzen Sarutobi stood side by side, with the latter proposing the idea of peace talks.

Hoshita Hide understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts and said after thinking for a moment, "We can't be the ones to propose peace talks. That would make us seem too weak and expose our vulnerability."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, but quickly understood what Hideaki Hoshishita meant: "Amegakure?"

Hoshino nodded: "The Third Generation is wise."

"Our battle with Iwagakure caused significant damage to the Land of Rain, which is why Amegakure is now participating in the war."

"Now is also the perfect time for Amegakure to step forward and mediate, giving Iwagakure and us a way out."

"Anyway, we've achieved our goal."

They obtained the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, but also weakened a portion of Iwagakure's fighting force.

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze were the main ones who took down most of them.

In the battle at the border of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze killed over a hundred Iwa ninja, and dozens more at Kannabi Bridge. Adding in the subsequent battles and the number of enemies killed on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, his total kills are absolutely unmatched in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The nickname "Yellow Flash" is now enough to send chills down the spines of Iwa ninja, its intimidation comparable to that of the previous "Star Show."

"Then let Amegakure act as the middleman."

Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to Hideaki Hoshino's suggestion, and he also thought it was a good idea.

He believed that Iwagakure had suffered heavy losses and was absolutely unwilling to continue fighting like this.

If Iwagakure does not agree to peace talks...

Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't mind having Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Shinnosuke Sarutobi regroup and then head to Iwagakure.

After discussing the peace talks with Iwagakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "How's the plan with Kirigakure going?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "It's progressing smoothly."

"Originally, the Fourth Mizukage intended to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, but now this plan is even more appealing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

……

three days later.

After meeting the envoy from Amegakure, Onoki's expression was not good.

If he could kill the messenger, he would have loved to turn the messenger from Amegakure into stone.

If it weren't for Amegakure's betrayal, Iwagakure's situation wouldn't be so dire.

"Call a meeting of top management!"

Onoki gave the order.

Half an hour later, all the high-ranking members of Iwagakure who could attend were present in the conference room.

Onoki said, "Amegakure has sent an envoy to try and facilitate peace talks between us and Konoha."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the conference room.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Exactly! We've suffered such heavy losses, how can we possibly back down so easily?"

One by one, the high-ranking members of Iwagakure spoke angrily.

They've suffered such a huge loss and haven't gained any benefits, so they're not willing to give up.

Onoki remained silent, watching quietly.

Suddenly, someone spoke up: "If we don't negotiate, how do we deal with that yellow flash?"

"And the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

The meeting room instantly fell silent.

The Iwagakure high-ranking official continued, "There is also an Earth Release ninja who has mastered the Third Hokage's Light and Heavy Rock Techniques and Heavy Rock Techniques."

"He and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki together caused us heavy losses, no less than that of the Yellow Flash."

"These three are in no way inferior to the previous Xingxia Show."

Onoki's expression grew increasingly grim; he had long regretted making the deal with Hoshino Shu.

This is a ninjutsu that no one else in the village has learned, yet the people of Konoha have learned it! This is outrageous!

Silence fell over the meeting room. After a moment, someone asked, "What about the village's losses?"

"We can make up for it in other ways!"

"For example, Sunagakure."

"Sunagakure doesn't have much benefit, Rain Country might be able to, but Konoha wouldn't agree."

"Then let's go with the Land of Lightning. If Konoha agrees to peace talks, it must be because they want to concentrate their forces on dealing with the other three clans. We can wait for the right opportunity to act."

One by one, the high-ranking members of Iwagakure spoke up, and their opinions began to converge.

Seeing this, Onoki went along with it: "In that case, let's try to negotiate with Konoha."

October 16, Konoha 45.

In the Land of Rain, in Amegakure (the Hidden Rain Village), under the witness of Kuro Amegakure, the leader of the Land of Rain, the two villages, Konoha and Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village), began their first peace talks.

The representative of Konoha is Mitokado Yan.

As peace talks began, the intensity of the war between the two sides rapidly decreased.

Hiruzen Sarutobi began redeploying personnel to other battlefields.

For example, Kakashi and Rin Nohara were transferred to the Hidden Mist battlefield.

at the same time.

Inside the underground base of the Mountain Graveyard, Obito Uchiha's recovery training was almost complete, and he longed to go out every day.

Time passed little by little, and it became Konoha Year 46.

On the coast.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara are running away, with a group of masked Kirigakure ninja behind them.

In the study of Konoha Village, Hoshino Shu received information about his clone and switched his eyes back to their original state.

He was really looking forward to the kaleidoscope.

He was very much looking forward to Susanoo.

He was even more excited about the Susanoo-clad Buddha.

Xingxia Xiu was already thinking that he must let Uchiha Madara see the Susanoo Buddha in the future.

the other side.

The clone that had transformed into Madara Uchiha, Tobi, dressed as White Zetsu, had arrived first, while Obito Uchiha was still on his way.

Hidden in the forest, Hoshino watched Kakashi and Nohara Rin fight and flee.

Although he no longer has the Sharingan, Kakashi's current fighting power is actually stronger than when he had the Sharingan.

He has now mastered Raikiri, thus avoiding the weaknesses of Chidori.

In addition to the Chidori Stream series of ninjutsu, Hatake sword techniques, and the dual-sword style taught by Hoshino Hideaki.

Although Kakashi doesn't carry dual swords, he can use kunai instead of a sword.

Therefore, although he quickly became a Jonin due to the war, Kakashi did indeed possess the qualities of a Jonin.

"As for Lightning Release, aside from Lightning Release Chakra Mode... well, Kakashi isn't really suited to Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Chidori Stream is about enough for him."

"Kakashi's talent, if allowed to mature over a few years, would actually be better suited to developing into a well-rounded ninja like Hiruzen Sarutobi, without any obvious weaknesses."

While watching the game, Xingxia Xiu secretly pondered.

Kakashi is the original body's official disciple, which makes him quite different.

Therefore, he has to take responsibility.

Without the limitations of the Sharingan, and without the setbacks he suffered, Kakashi's future potential would be astonishing.

Especially at his age, this is a time for rapid progress.

"Um?"

"We're almost there."

Hoshino Hide sensed Uchiha Obito.

White Zetsu Abi asked, "Lord Madara, aren't you afraid the plan might go wrong?"

"Besides, Obito only just awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan!"

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "You don't understand this kind of youthful love, nor do you understand the concept of being in love."

Bai Jue A Fei replied matter-of-factly, "I am an artificial human, so it's only natural that I don't understand."

"By the way, does Rin Nohara like Obito or Kakashi?"

"It would be best if it were Obito, otherwise that guy would be too pitiful."

After spending some time with Obito, Tobi, the White Zetsu, had grown fond of the guy.

This guy was chosen by Madara twice, how pitiful.

"If you want to know, you can ask them when you have the chance."

Xingxia Xiudao.

At that moment, Kakashi turned around.

The enemy is pursuing them too closely; if he doesn't stay behind, Nohara Rin won't be able to escape.

Therefore, he decided to stay behind to hold off the enemy, while sending Nohara Rin back to find reinforcements.

He was confident that he could escape as long as Nohara Rin escaped.

However, Rin Nohara knew that a monster was sealed within her, and that the seal would be broken once she returned to Konoha.

Tailed Beasts!

She knew about the Tailed Beasts and had witnessed their terrifying power.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot return to Konoha.

Rin Nohara resolutely stopped and rushed towards the battlefield between Kakashi and the Mist Ninja.

that's it.

The latest novel is first published here!

A memorable scene, orchestrated by Xingxia Show, has occurred.

Rin Nohara's heart was pierced by Kakashi's Raikiri.

Obito Uchiha happened to rush out of the forest and witnessed this scene.

"Kakashi..."

Nohara Rin coughed up blood.

Kakashi, his eyes glazed over, withdrew his hand, and Rin Nohara collapsed.

Their hearts pounded, and both Kakashi and Obito Uchiha experienced a surge of blood to their brains.

Kakashi fainted and collapsed to the ground, while Obito's eyes bled, his tomoe spinning until they transformed into a completely new kaleidoscope pattern.

"Damn it!"

"Mission failed!"

"Quickly retrieve the Six-Tails!"

After their initial shock, the Mist Ninja shouted and rushed towards Nohara Rin.

They must retrieve the Six-Tails before Rin Nohara dies completely, otherwise the Six-Tails will also die and then be resurrected. At that time, it will be a wild tailed beast, and it will take time to find it again.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha let out a mournful roar, like a wounded wild beast.

He attracted the attention of the Mist Ninja.

"Who is it?"

The fog-shrouded ninja are on high alert.

Dressed in a black robe and with long hair, Obito Uchiha clenched his fists, already insane.

The ground beneath his feet cracked open, and he charged toward the Mist Ninja with heavy steps.

The slaughter begins!

Meanwhile, Hoshino Gaku appeared beside Nohara Rin.

He couldn't let Nohara Rin die, otherwise Obito Uchiha with his dual Kamui powers would kill him.

The surging waters enveloped Nohara Rin, and with the activation of the Mitsubo energy, combined with the power of the Dragon Vein and the White Zetsu cells, her heart was directly regenerated.

Inside the study in Konoha Village.

As his eyes stung and blood flowed down, Hoshino Shu's eyes automatically activated the Sharingan, and then the tomoe spun rapidly, transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Picking up the mirror he had prepared beforehand, Hoshino smiled as he looked at the pattern that was exactly the same as Obito Uchiha's.

Although he hasn't developed a fully unique eye technique, his dual divine power is still quite impressive. If he's cautious, he's not afraid of anyone.

In particular, he has a huge amount of chakra.

Wiping away the blood, Xingxia Xiu closed her eyes and felt the power of the kaleidoscope.

The power of his eyes is far, far greater.

Of course, it still can't compare to Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

But it has only just begun. With continuous training, the power of the eye can be continuously improved until the complete Susanoo is unlocked.

"Speaking of Susanoo, the strongest should be the Sage of Six Paths, followed by Indra, and then Madara Uchiha."

Xingxia Xiu had a thought flash through his mind, and his experience with the pupil technique was already complete.

Having already used a kaleidoscope before, he quickly mastered it.

Kamui!

Xingxia Xiu took a step and her body passed directly through the wall.

The ability to become intangible is essentially a transfer of one's body into the Kamui dimension.

He walked out of the room step by step and came to the courtyard. He then deactivated "etherealization" and activated the ability of his other eye.

Kamui!

Space was distorted, and a tree in the courtyard was split in two.

Then, Hoshino Shu absorbed his body into the Kamui Dimension.

Looking at his Kamui dimension, Hoshino thought to himself, "I can extract the tailed beast from my body and seal it in the Kamui dimension."

With the dragon vein Yinglong within him, he didn't need to worry about dying after extracting the tailed beast.

Anyway, becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki will require sealing the Tailed Beast inside the Gedo Mazo.

"That's the decision."

After thinking it over, Hoshino Shizuka mobilized the power of the Kaleidoscope and activated another force.

Susanoo!

Blue chakra surged forth, and then the skeleton materialized one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the half-body skeleton of Susanoo was formed.

Xingxia Xiu examined it carefully, and then continued trying.

Muscles covered the skeleton, and then the legs materialized.

Xingxia Xiu's figure soared into the air and landed on Susanoo's forehead.

At this moment, he had a different feeling, as if he had gained another body.

This is different from controlling wooden figures or wooden Buddhas.

Even more...even more at ease with.

Even more relaxed!

"very good!"

"However, it also consumes a lot of pupil power."

Hoshinobi dissipated his Susanoo and landed on the ground: "I still need to hone my skills."

"Unfortunately, there are no rivals left now."

Thinking about it, Hoshino Hide thought of the Otsutsuki on the moon.

He also thought of possessing Jigen's body, Otsutsuki Isshiki.

"We cannot become complacent. We may not have any rivals now, but we will have many more in the future."

Xingxia Xiu took a deep breath and then went home.

……

seaside.

The Mist Ninja had been slaughtered by the enraged Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara had been rescued.

Of course, the Six-Tails was also extracted by Hoshino Hide, while Nohara Rin's life force was replenished through Mitsubo energy.

The mask formed by White Zetsu Afei was removed, and Xingxia Xiu revealed his true face.

Obito Uchiha, who had just witnessed Rin Nohara's resurrection, stared wide-eyed: "You...you're not Madara Uchiha?"

"Impossible, your Sharingan..."

Kakashi and Rin Nohara's eyes widened: "Shu-sensei!"

Xingxia Xiu sighed, "This matter is somewhat complicated."

"I faked my death; not many people know that."

"Your teacher, Minato, knows about this."

"At that time, in addition to the Kage of the four great ninja villages, Madara Uchiha was also besieging me."

"The result was that I killed the Third Mizukage, and I also killed Madara Uchiha."

"You'll find out the rest later."

Looking at Obito Uchiha: "Obito, you'll be following me from now on."

Obito Uchiha immediately panicked: "Why?"

"Can't I go with Lin and the others?"

Hoshino Hide shook his head, his expression serious: "You have a more important mission, a very important mission, higher than S-rank, involving the safety of the ninja world."

Obito Uchiha muttered, "I'm just a Chunin..."

Ignoring the love-struck Obito Uchiha, Hoshino Shu said to Kakashi and Rin Nohara, "You two go back to Konoha."

"Don't reveal anything about me to anyone except the Third Hokage and Minato."

Kakashi and Rin Nohara nodded.

"Obito, let's go!"

Xingxia Xiu turned around.

Obito Uchiha looked at Rin with reluctance, then waved his fist at Kakashi: "Kakashi, you idiot, you better protect Rin, or I'll teach you a lesson."

"I've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan now!"

Kakashi opened his mouth, but remembering what had happened before, he couldn't speak for a moment.

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Obito, you have to trust Kakashi."

"Besides, even if you're not there, you can still protect Lin."

Saying that he wouldn't let Obito Uchiha speak anymore, Hoshino-shita Hide then teleported away with Obito Uchiha.
