In the blink of an eye, the huge meteorite shattered and exploded completely.

A cloud of smoke enveloped our heads; the impact had even annihilated the meteorite, leaving only a cloud of dust.

"General, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll stop here for today."

Kizuki said this from the side, and Blade Style also stretched his limbs.

"no way."

"Well then, guardians of the divine tree, fellow shadows, we will meet again."

"And Xiao, we will get what we need."

"Wait, trying to run away!"

Sand Clock was the quickest to react, and with a single slash of his sword, he sent the opponent flying.

A wall of fire erupted in front of him, and Mu Yue vanished instantly with his blade style.

The wall of fire was split open, and the Blade Style and Muzuki behind it had disappeared from sight.

"hateful!"

Sand Clock, in a fit of rage, swung his sword to the side, creating a large crater.

Kizuki's escape skills have become increasingly sophisticated, which is why we haven't been able to catch him yet.

Right now, Onoshiki and Minato can be considered to be on the same side. The weakest here are Gaara and Kankuro from Sunagakure, and the rest are all at the Kage level. Kizuki has absolutely no chance of winning if he fights Jin.

"Needle, we'll catch him."

Onoshi approached Sand Clock Hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Fellow Kage of the ninja villages, I think we have some things to discuss."

Onoshi turned to the Five Kage and began to speak. Both sides were on the same side, and the situation was becoming increasingly perilous. Onoshi had also heard about the loss of the Tailed Beasts. This was too sudden; none of them had expected it, otherwise they would have definitely gone to provide support.

Regardless, their enemies have already achieved most of their objectives, so how could they possibly let them achieve their goals so easily?

The five shadows glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

The Five Shadows Conference continued—or perhaps it shouldn't even be called the Five Shadows Conference anymore; it was a meeting where everyone present was together, so how could it be considered a Five Shadows Conference?

The meeting was simple: to deal with the fact that the Otsutsuki and Akatsuki had finally obtained control of the two tailed beasts—the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails.

The proposed solution was that the Allied Shinobi Forces would be formally established, and Onoshi and his group would no longer act independently, but would instead be incorporated into the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Just recently, the five major ninja villages have joined forces to form a command center in the rear.

It's time to wage a full-scale war against Akatsuki and the Otsutsuki clan, and coincidentally, Akatsuki and the Otsutsuki clan think the same way.

Since the remaining eight-tailed and nine-tailed tails cannot be obtained by trickery, the only option is to take them down head-on.

But before that, a little more time is needed, as both Akatsuki and Otsutsuki are preparing for the final battle.

Everyone knew that the largest war in history was about to break out.

A war that surpassed all previous ninja wars.

The Fourth Shinobi World War is about to break out!

Chapter 360: "Sinner" and "Atonement"

"You were a bit too impulsive this time."

Black Zetsu watched Obito return. This time, the opponents were far too powerful. Apart from the Sand Village members, Obito had no confidence in dealing with them. They were all top-tier fighters, not easy to defeat.

"It's alright, how are our preparations going?"

Obito didn't refute, but instead changed the subject.

Black Zetsu didn't say anything, and just went along with Obito. Now, Obito was the only executor and an indispensable figure.

"It will take a few more days; Orochimaru's people are not ready yet."

"Pocket?"

"Hopefully, his Edo Tensei will give us enough surprises."

Obito said this and walked away.

Yes, everything is just like in the original story, and the final result still developed in this direction.

Once Kabuto was ready, the Fourth Shinobi World War would officially begin.

"Lin, it's almost done. The world with you is almost ready."

Obito's purpose from beginning to end was this: this was his Akatsuki, his dawn.

Besides Akatsuki, the Otsutsuki side is the same.

"General, everything is almost ready. Now it's time for us to obtain the Divine Tree."

“Very good. I didn’t expect the people here to have become so strong. This is also a blessing from the Divine Tree.”

Blade Style considers itself the strongest, but even the strongest can be overwhelmed by a multitude of opponents. Now that their preparations are almost complete, the real general will make his appearance. A general without soldiers is at most half a general.

Turning our attention to Yue Shu, we see that Yue Shu has been guarding the small house in front of her.

On his first visit last time, he was chased away by the woman guarding the gate.

The moon tree was clearly in his sight, so he didn't force his way in and walked away on his own.

"It's you again! Why can't you just leave us alone?"

The woman with short purple hair walked out of the door and bumped into Yue Shu.

"This is where Jiraiya and you all live, right?"

"You've come back here and fixed it all up. It's a really nice place."

"What's it to you?"

Konan glared at Tsukiki through gritted teeth, her fur standing on end like a cat encountering an enemy.

Surprisingly, it didn't rain today. The sunshine here is lovely and warm; just standing under the sky is so comfortable.

"Xiao Nan? What's wrong? Didn't we agree to go for a walk together?"

The voice came from inside the house. Xiao Nan wanted to turn around and call out to stop it, but the door was already open.

Nagato's frail body was revealed; he was still using a cane, and his eyes were empty, unable to see anything.

"Nagato—"

Konan bit her lip. Every time she saw Nagato like this, she couldn't help but wonder why the three of them had ended up like this, and why she was the only one who had escaped unscathed.

Of the three who grew up together, only Xiao Nan is still intact.

"What's wrong, Xiao Nan? Do we have guests?"

Nagato seemed to sense something and spoke up.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Nagato."

Tsukiki also greeted him, and Nagato was clearly taken aback for a moment before smiling.

"It's you. No wonder Xiao Nan was angry."

Nagato didn't react much; he'd already experienced too much along the way, and he was numb to it all, but at least—

"Are you here to settle scores with me? Fine, but Xiao Nan is innocent. I beg you to let her go."

He let go of the cane and was about to fall.

Tsukiki reacted quickly, even faster than Konan, and caught Nagato.

"Don't worry, I'm here to ask you for a favor."

Do you know about the art of reincarnation?

Tsuki's words stunned the two of them. They knew this ninjutsu; it was one of the highest-level abilities of the Rinnegan, capable of directly reviving the dead.

Why are you saying this?

Nagato also considered reviving Yahiko, but he didn't for two reasons: first, because of this distorted world, even if Yahiko were revived, nothing would change; second, the conditions were not met.

The Samsara Rebirth Technique allows the user to exchange their life for the lives of others, one life for several. Nagato was naturally willing to do so. Initially, Nagato knew about this ninjutsu and quickly wanted to revive Yahiko, but he couldn't.

"If you're looking to resurrect someone, I think your fantasy is unattainable. I no longer have the Rinnegan, and the Rinne Rebirth technique has conditions."

"It requires both the body and the soul of the deceased; neither can be missing. The body may be easy to find, but the soul is not so easy to find."

Nagato revealed the inside story of the Rinne Rebirth technique. In the original manga, Akatsuki was able to revive so many people during their attack on Konoha because the souls of the dead didn't go to the underworld, but were in the gates of hell. (The original Naruto manga has quite a few plot holes, so don't take it too seriously; I've tried my best.)

"What if I could help you achieve all of these things? What would you be like then?"

What would you choose?

As Tsukiki spoke, Nagato's hands trembled.

“If it can really be like this, then I have no way to repay you; this is my atonement.”

Nagato gripped Tsukiki's hands tightly, his words brimming with excitement.

"That's good. Take good care of yourself. I'll be going now, and I'll come to pick you up in a few days."

"Good good!"

Nagato seemed to have found some treasure, and his energy suddenly surged, even though Tsukiju had come to tell him to die.

Xiao Nan remained quiet to the side, her expression changing many times before finally settling into a sigh.

Konan can understand what Nagato needs and what Nagato wants. Perhaps Nagato would rather die like this than live like this.

Konan's gaze darkened considerably. She couldn't stop Nagato for her own selfish reasons. Because Konan understood that if she were Nagato, she would have made the same choice.

Every "sinner" has a heart that yearns for redemption. Most people have a bottom line of conscience, and everyone will make a mistake once or twice in their lives.

"Thank you. To be honest, I don't want to let Nagato do it."

Nagato was led into the house by Konan, and then he went out again to talk to Tsukiki.

Nagato was the only person she could rely on in this world, her only best friend, no, she was already family. From that childhood filled with constant rain and war, those three children who kept each other warm had become a family.

"A person's value can be reflected in many ways, but without a doubt, the best way to reflect your value is how you choose to live and how you choose to die."

Xiao Nan remained silent as some dark clouds began to appear in the clear blue sky.
