The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Ice Escape: Frozen Wasteland"

Just as the battlefield fell into an eerie calm, Shin finally arrived at the battlefield.

In an instant, the sea around Hui turned into solid ice.

Using the Instantaneous Movement Technique, he arrived in front of Hui and engaged in battle with him. The aftershocks of the accidental fight were enough to demonstrate the strength of the two.

"Breakthrough!"

How could he possibly be a Kage-level character!

Tsunade was taken aback.

Hui just expended a lot of energy, and with the surrounding sea frozen solid, he might not be able to secure a victory against the newly transformed Zhen.

Just as Tsunade was about to step forward to provide support, Shin and Teru finally stopped fighting.

"The Hidden Mist Village has been defeated in this war. Hidden Mist ninja, retreat!"

Shin was already a top-tier commoner ninja, and his reputation was already quite high due to various factors. Now, he had broken through to a higher level. With his order, the Hidden Mist army naturally obeyed and began to retreat.

However, this retreat led to the defeat of Kirigakure.

The elite Jonin from Kirigakure present had initially considered surrendering, but after Zhen appeared and displayed Kage-level combat power, their hopes were rekindled.

They were unwilling to accept that Hui had surrendered without a second thought after only a brief battle.

Tsunade, however, noticed something.

"He's probably not in good shape either. He just broke through, and now that he's not in good shape, it's understandable that he'd surrender."

After figuring it out, she turned to face the Konoha army and shouted, "Konoha, a great victory!"

There was no response, but the relieved smiles on their faces were unmistakable.

They are exhausted and weary from the war.

The long-term high level of tension has pushed them to their limits.

Now, with the surrender of Kirigakure, a large number of Konoha ninja collapsed to the ground, panting, and slowly closed their eyes.

They were exhausted.

Even if they win, they won't have the strength to continue shouting.

As for those who were still standing and awake, they were all weeping.

Too many people died in this battle. Too many relatives and friends died.

There are no new generation members to be used as cannon fodder; it is the older generation that dies, their companions, and their teachers.

"Lady Tsunade, let's split up."

"it is good!"

The battle here is over, but there are two other battles to go.

The final battle lasted less than an hour, which greatly surprised everyone.

But if one side's Shadow is killed in battle, it's not a problem for the final battle to end prematurely.

However, Hui might be resented by the ninjas of Kirigakure for the rest of his life.

"Fugaku, I'm leaving this place to you!"

After saying that, Hui and Tsunade began to move the battlefield.

Tsunade supports Minato Namikaze's side, while Hikaru takes charge of Jiraiya's side.

It wasn't to separate the three ninja, but because Hikaru was skilled in Water Release, which was countered by Earth Release.

Tsunade has slug clones on various battlefields, and now, using the Reverse Summoning Technique, she has directly arrived at the battlefield where Minato Namikaze is located.

Hui, on the other hand, used the summoning contract from Ryuchi Cave to summon Manda in reverse. Hmm, Orochimaru's assistant signed the summoning contract from Ryuchi Cave, no problem.

With the addition of these two, Konoha gained an absolute advantage in high-end combat power.

The battle lasted for another half day. With Konoha's victory in the high-level combat, Kumogakure and Iwagakure finally surrendered.

With this, the Third Shinobi World War came to an end.

All that remained was the final reorganization and the signing of a defeat agreement.

......

"It started strong but ended weakly."

On Kiyoshi Island, as Uchiha Kiyoshi recounted the battle to Rin and Hyuga Ten, Rin couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, stepping back from the immediate situation and taking a broader view of the war, she certainly had the right to make such a remark.

The Third Shinobi World War started strong but ended weakly.

The fact that the war lasted so long and ended in such a way was quite surprising to everyone.

The simultaneous outbreak of decisive battles on three battlefields in Konoha, along with the unexpected addition of the Third Hokage and Tsunade, was also surprising.

However, this is still within reason.

The biggest problem was that the Third Mizukage died too quickly, leaving two of Konoha's Kage-level fighters vacant. With their arrival, the other two battlefields, which had been stably occupied, suddenly became unbalanced, and in the contest of top-level fighters, Konoha ultimately won the victory.

But at this moment, who has the mind to think about the fact that the Third Mizukage died so quickly?

I'd better not worry about the dead.

Putting aside the end of the war, the various ninja villages are now focusing more on recovery and reconstruction and the surrender agreement. On the Kirigakure side alone, it's more important to focus on the successor of the next Mizukage than on the cause of the Third Mizukage's death!

Chapter 360 (This likely refers to a specific type of skin or freckles)

After the war ended, the ninjas from all sides withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their ninja villages.

Instead of immediately commencing reconstruction efforts, the village leaders gave all the ninjas a period of rest.

Even if we are defeated, it will still be the same.

They also suffered greatly during such a long war.

The Hidden Mist Village was different; without a leader, there was naturally no one to give orders.

Before taking a break, choosing a new water feature is the most important thing.

"Shin-senpai's contributions to Kirigakure are evident to all, and now that Shin-senpai's strength has improved, he is perfectly suited to be the Mizukage."

Qing spoke first, expressing her views.

"Correct."

I agree.

Those at higher levels who agreed directly did so, while those who had objections remained silent instead of expressing them directly.

The Hidden Mist Village is now suffering from a severe loss of talent. Not only are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist dead or have fled, but the heads of the two largest bloodline clans have also been killed in battle, greatly diminishing the village's strength.

In addition, the death of the Third Mizukage had a significant impact on the village.

At this moment, Kirigakure needs a powerful Kage to stabilize the situation.

You have to agree, whether you like it or not.

At this point, no one was dwelling on the fact that the mission to escort the Three-Tails Jinchuriki into Konoha had failed.

After all, this mission is quite secretive; apart from the person directly carrying it out, almost no one knows about it.

"Since everyone agrees, I will reluctantly take on the role of Mizukage and restore Kirigakure to its pre-war level as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Zhen kept Qing behind alone.

"Qing, from now on you will serve as the Hokage's assistant and help me with administrative matters."

Well, shadows are something we agreed not to do.

This time it's also to make it easier to control Kirigakure, but even so, he really won't fulfill his duties as a Kage.

Being a Shadow is so troublesome. You're so busy with work every day that you don't even have time to cultivate. Moreover, the village after the war is where the Shadow faces the most pressure and is most exhausted from work.

He really didn't want to do it anymore.

Therefore, choosing an assistant is very important.

"Qing, I've known for a long time that you are an excellent ninja."

From now on, the work of the Water Shadow will be handed over to you.

Aside from matters of life and death concerning the village, you can make your own decisions about anything that's good for the village. You don't need to bother me; I need to focus on my cultivation.

"Yes, if there's anything that needs my attention, you can let me know."

Leaving Ao looking dazed, Zhen used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear and arrived at a secluded area of ​​Kirigakure to begin his training.

Hey, Qing is a pretty good tool.

Moreover, since the main body has been assigning tasks to itself, it can now experience that joy for itself.

......

Beneath the Kami-no-bi Bridge.

"I never imagined that a war would end like this."

Not only Uchiha Kiyoshi, but Madara also had a comprehensive view of the situation and a clear understanding of the entire ninja world.

Moreover, Madara noticed the key to the rapid end of the entire war.

"The Third Mizukage might be a bit clumsy in battle due to the influence of my genjutsu, but his strength is undeniable. The fact that he was able to kill him so quickly shows that Hui himself was the biggest problem."

He's another hidden guy, just like Uchiha Kiyoshi. He has a Kage-level identity on the surface, but hides his true strength in secret.

There's really one thing I don't understand about Ban.

They hid themselves for the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan, but what were their motives?

Forget it, as long as they don't interfere with my plans, I won't bother with them.

If their goals conflict with my Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, then don't blame me.

"Now it seems that Uchiha Kiyoshi's plan is very clear: to achieve peace in the ninja world. Moreover, it looks like he is about to have that kind of strength, and he will be able to make his move soon."
