Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

In early November of Konoha Year 47, the turbulent Land of Rain once again faced war, and the Konoha ninja, contrary to their usual behavior, launched an extremely fierce counterattack.

The Sand Village was caught off guard. They had just reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the Iwa Village, and before the two ninjas could join forces, they were attacked by the Leaf Village.

The rain was unusually heavy that day; the raindrops slapped against our faces so hard we could barely open our eyes.

The harsh weather did not deter the ninjas from their killing spree; the ongoing battle drove all three sides to madness.

The Akatsuki members who arrived at the village's outskirts all froze on the spot. Their leader, Yahiko, knelt in the rain, pounding his fist on the muddy ground, and roared in anguish as he looked at the corpses strewn across the ground.

Why is this happening?

Why must we fight here?

Everywhere you look, there are corpses. Konoha ninjas, Sunagakure ninjas, and Iwagakure ninjas are all lying in pools of blood. Houses in the distance are all destroyed, and civilians have also been affected.

Standing behind, Nagato, with his red hair, clenched his fist as he saw his friend's pained expression. He thought of his parents' deaths and the war he experienced in his childhood.

Nothing has changed; the great nation's ninjas still choose to bring pain to the already ravaged Land of Rain.

The water on everyone's faces was indistinguishable between rain and tears. After checking the house, everyone fell silent; there were no survivors.

"I want to go and talk to them..."

As soon as Yahiko finished speaking, Konan, who was standing next to him with her head down, whispered a reminder:

"We can't do it. Only Hanzo in this country can do this."

Nagato had no choice but to interrupt his friend's "delusion," not wanting to see the disappointment in Yahiko's eyes, he turned his head and whispered:

"Our commissions have also been affected during this period."

The heavy rain continued. Yahiko tilted his head back, hiding the hatred on his face from his companions. After composing himself, he solemnly replied:

"We will not give up! Someone has to make a change, and I don't want to leave this to our next generation."

Those who live in darkness yearn for light, and these words successfully ignited everyone's fighting spirit. Seeing the resolute looks in his companions' eyes, Yahiko let out a long breath and shouted:

"Let's rest for a bit, then continue! There are still many more people in darkness who need Xiao's help!"

"yes!"

The Iwagakure members who turned back from the front lines of the Land of Grass to the Land of Rain had a lot of trouble to tell. They didn't expect to be intercepted in advance, and all their plans fell through.

To make matters worse, the heavy rain affected ninjutsu, and after being ambushed by Konoha ninjas, they were unable to find an opportunity to use their combined ninjutsu.

Huang Tu, who was surrounded by Konoha Jonin, naturally noticed that the situation was deteriorating. However, the Uchiha Fugaku and others in front of him were too troublesome to deal with, and he could not get away for the time being.

After the loess rock fragment was cleaved into pieces, it no longer cared about accidentally injuring anyone and turned to give a loud instruction:

"Use a combined ninjutsu!"

"Fire Release: Phoenix Claw Crimson!"

Despite the heavy rain, Fugaku Uchiha and several of his clansmen still displayed considerable power when using Fire Release ninjutsu, with numerous shuriken wrapped in flames flying towards Huang Tu and the others.

Although the raised earthen wall blocked most of the shuriken, some Iwagakure ninjas were still hit and screamed in pain.

The earth rapidly rose up, and the Iwagakure ninja, no longer caring about their comrades, unleashed a combined ninjutsu, the Earthquake Core Technique, which sent almost half of the ninjas on the battlefield flying.

"Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique!"

A large number of Iwagakure ninjas spat out earth-style chakra stones, which gradually grew larger as they flew into the air, indiscriminately attacking everyone in the air.

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

Under the protection of the Konoha ninja, Furukawa Osamu clasped his hands together, and the rain around his body swirled wildly, expanding outward from him until it formed a thick wall of water.

"boom!"

The clash of ninjutsu produced a deafening roar, and in an instant, rocks and water rained down from the sky. Screams and roars rang out again as both sides began to unleash their ninjutsu, attacking the ninjas in front of them indiscriminately.

Rocks, fireballs, and water bullets flew everywhere, and some of the dead ninjas didn't even know who had killed them.

"Spiritual communication!"

Orochimaru, clad in Konoha's white armor, suddenly summoned a giant purple snake in the center of the battlefield. After Manda appeared, his vertical pupils revealed a cruel look, and he charged at full speed towards the direction of the Iwagakure ninja, Huang Tu!

"It tastes like blood! I'm going to eat you all!"

"Ugh!"

Its enormous size made the power of Manda's charge comparable to Earth Release ninjutsu, and the ninjas who couldn't dodge it all screamed in agony.

Huang Tu turned pale upon seeing the attacking snake and hurriedly shouted a warning to his companions:

"Get out of the way!"

The earth rumbled and roared. The attack of the giant snake was extremely powerful. Some ninjas had already been turned into bloody, mangled pieces of flesh. As the rain washed over them, blood was everywhere on the ground.

The Iwagakure ninja finally couldn't hold on any longer. They didn't see the Sunagakure ninjas, and their plan completely failed.

"Sizzle!"

A sharp cry suddenly rang out in the heavy rain. Seizing the opportunity, Furukawa Osamu activated his body, his chakra erupted once more, and Chidori attached itself to the short sword, crackling with electricity bursting from the blue blade.

Furukawa leaned forward, sending pebbles flying beneath his feet, transforming himself into a "sharp sword" as he accelerated his sprint.

"what!"

The Iwagakure ninjas who were trying to dodge the giant snake's attack were cut in half before they could defend themselves. Terrified screams rose and fell, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people collapsed on the muddy ground.

"Follow Master Shu!"

The morale of the Konoha ninja soared. Huang Tu cursed under his breath, his right hand transforming into a hard rock fist as he charged straight at Furukawa Osamu with all his might.

Mansakura's tail suddenly emerged from the ground, and Huang Tu hurriedly dodged. When he tried to chase after Furukawa Osamu again, he found that the other party had already created distance and continued to "dance".

Furukawa Osamu exhausted the lightning-attribute chakra he had refined in one go, which slowed him down, but it did not affect his efficient killing.

The Iwagakure ninja who got close stiffened at the slightest touch, and the speed and force of Furukawa Osamu's sword swing were completely disproportionate to his size.

The Iwagakure ninjas were bleeding after only three rounds of fighting; their siege was completely ineffective, and they were defeated one by one by Furukawa Osamu.

Seeing their comrades "splashing blood," some of the Iwagakure ninja launched another indiscriminate attack, and the ground in the heavy rain suddenly cracked.

"Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"

Having sensed the ninjutsu early on, Furukawa Osamu quickly moved to a different position, causing the Iwagakure and Konoha ninjas affected by the ninjutsu to cry out in alarm.

A new round of indiscriminate ninjutsu clashes has begun, and no one is backing down; the frenzied slaughter continues in the pouring rain.

-

As evening fell, the heavy rain turned into a drizzle, and a strong stench of blood emanated from the Konoha camp.

Osamu Furukawa helped dispose of the body. Although the weather was getting colder, the body still needed to be cremated in time to avoid any accidents.

"Shu is as merciful as ever. This was a Pyrrhic victory. No wonder Iwagakure was able to suppress the village in the Land of Grass."

Fugaku Uchiha's face was pale, and most of his armor was torn. Seeing the clan leader's disheveled appearance, Osamu Furukawa continued the conversation:

"Several Uchiha clan ninjas must have perished as well? Indiscriminate attacks are truly terrifying."

"It is an honor for the Uchiha clan to make the necessary sacrifices for the future of the village!"
