The Fourth Ninja World War, which was also a war for the unification of the Ninja World, broke out at the joint decision of the Fire Nation and the Akatsuki Organization!
What most people in the ninja world didn't expect was that the first target of Akatsuki Village was not Konoha Village in the Fire Country, nor the weakest Wind Country, but the Lightning Country, the strongest of the five major countries except the Fire Country. And the Fire Country used all its strength when it attacked. A mighty torrent of 100,000 ninjas split into five groups and swept straight into the heart of the Lightning Country.
Facing the invasion of the Fire Nation, the Lightning Nation naturally went all out. Under the attention of everyone in the Ninja World, the two strongest of the five great nations collided and began the strongest battle to determine the future of the Ninja World.
What surprised the entire ninja world was that the Akatsuki army, which had never experienced war, had the upper hand right after the war broke out. The battle-hardened ninjas of the Land of Lightning were beaten back by a group of ninjas who had only been trained for a year. In less than a month, the Land of Lightning had suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the essence of the Kumogakure was almost completely consumed in this war.
How is this going?
Countless people were surprised at the outcome of the war, but only a small number of people who had experienced the war knew the fundamental reason why Akatsuki Village was able to win.
One is the number. The Akatsuki Village relies on the powerful national strength of the Land of Fire and can send out an army of 100,000 people at once. The number of this ninja army is more than three times that of the Land of Lightning. In addition to this 100,000-strong army, the Valley of Fire also has a civilian reserve force of 100,000 people, who can be used as a supplement to go to the Land of Lightning for war at any time.
In comparison, although the Lightning Country is strong in military strength, it is far inferior to the Fire Country in terms of economy, logistics, population, etc. The fact that they were able to mobilize 30,000 ninjas in a short period of time is the result of the concerted efforts of the entire country. Faced with such an overwhelming disadvantage in numbers, it was inevitable that the Lightning Country would be beaten back step by step.
In addition to numbers, another reason why Akatsuki Village was able to win was the tactics of large-scale troop combat.
The so-called ninjas, in the final analysis, are elite combat troops. Although they have an absolute advantage in localized combat with a small number of people, in large-scale combat involving tens of thousands of people, the habit of traditional ninjas to fight on their own determines that they cannot play the advantage of numbers at all.
Although the ninjas of Akatsuki Village had a short training period and little combat experience, it was precisely because of their lack of historical baggage that Akatsuki Village was able to explore new tactics in the new era. On the front battlefield, the ninjas of Akatsuki Village lined up in neat rows, adopted a three-stage tactic, and continuously launched a long-term ninjutsu attack on the ninjas of the Land of Lightning.
Under such a dense firepower offensive, the traditional ninja elite team's combat mode is simply unable to resist. Even the tailed beasts and Kage-level strongmen cannot face the large-scale bloodline limit forces. In front of thousands of special ninjas who have awakened the Uzumaki clan's bloodline limit, the two-tail and eight-tail human pillars were easily captured, and the former Raikage Ai was burned to death by the fire ninjutsu of tens of thousands of people.
So, 42 days after the Fire Nation launched the war, under the crushing of the Akatsuki Village's almost epoch-making combat power, the Lightning Nation, once the second largest country in the ninja world, was easily destroyed when the other three major countries were not even ready for support.
After this battle, the Fire Nation unified the ninja world and had no rivals anymore, and the rest of the ninja world was also silent. All the major countries began to try to find ways to save themselves. The Fire Nation did not intend to stop there. After only a month of rest, the Fire Nation's 100,000-level ninja army was dispatched again.
This time, it took only 28 days for the Wind Kingdom to be destroyed.
Then came the Land of Earth. Relying on conservative tactics, the Land of Earth held out for two full months. But by then, the Land of Fire had already occupied the lands of the three major nations, and its comprehensive national strength was already several times greater than that of the Land of Earth. So under the continuous attacks of the Land of Fire, after 63 days, the Land of Earth was destroyed.
In less than half a year, the Akatsuki Village of the Fire Nation has conquered the three kingdoms, and also conquered a number of small kingdoms in the Ninja World, basically unifying the Ninja World. Now, the only remaining opponent of the Fire Nation is the Water Nation, which is across the sea from the mainland. The Water Nation also knows that the natural barrier of the sea cannot stop the Fire Nation for long. Various new warships of the Fire Nation are already under construction. Once the warships are built, the Water Nation will have no choice but to be destroyed.
Just as the unification of the ninja world was on the verge of happening, the Akatsuki organization, under the guidance of Black Zetsu, began to seal the tailed beasts one by one into the Outer Path Demon Statues.
One-tailed Shukaku, two-tailed Nekomata, three-tailed Isobu, four-tailed Son Goku, five-tailed Mu Wang, six-tailed Rhino Dog, seven-tailed Shigemide, and finally eight-tailed Gyu-ki.
Relying on the unification war launched by Akatsuki Village, Akatsuki easily collected the tailed beasts belonging to the Land of Lightning, Land of Earth, and Land of Wind. As for the three-tailed and six-tailed beasts belonging to the Land of Water, they were successfully captured by the rebel ninja team sent by Akatsuki. In other words, now in the entire ninja world, only the nine-tailed beast has not been captured.
However, the Nine-Tails is a tailed beast belonging to Konoha after all, and Konoha has not yet fallen out with the Fire Country. In the case that the ninja world has not yet been completely unified, the Akatsuki Village, which belongs to the Fire Country, will not take action against Konoha's Jinchuriki. Therefore, the one who captures the Nine-Tails can only be the elite rebel ninja of the Akatsuki organization.
"Have Scorpion and the others not returned yet?"
Seeing that eight of the nine tailed beasts had been sealed, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but say to Tendo Pain beside him:
"With the five members of the organization dispatched this time, Sasori, Kisame, Hidan, Kakuzu, and Deidara, and Zetsu's help, it should be easy to capture a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Why is there no news from them yet?"
In this regard, Nagato thought:
"As early as when Akatsuki Village conquered the Land of Lightning, Jiraiya-sensei brought the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back to Konoha. With the protection of Konoha Ninja Village, it is normal for the operation to capture the Nine-Tails to encounter some setbacks."
"Setback? I think it's more likely that Deidara is restless and turned the original capture operation into a frontal attack on Konoha. Otherwise, with the strength of the five of them, plus the help of White Zetsu, wouldn't it be easy to capture a mere Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Nagato also thought that Uchiha Obito's speculation made sense. After all, although Deidara was strong, his personality was also very willful. He often went crazy while performing a mission and thought about doing something like "art is explosion".
But when Black Zetsu controlled White Zetsu to return to Akatsuki to report, the truth of the matter surprised them both.
"What did you say? Uzumaki Naruto killed five of Sasori alone?"
After hearing the news, Uchiha Obito's Sharingan widened, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Even if he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it is impossible for him to defeat five Kage-level strongmen by himself, right? Was it the ninjas of Konoha who helped, or was it the Nine-Tails in Naruto Uzumaki's body?" Nagato asked again.
"No. It seems that Uzumaki Naruto has awakened some special power, and has exploded with power that surpasses the First Hokage. Even with Sasori and the others attacking together, he was easily defeated by that brat." Black Zetsu said:
"In short, that nine-tailed brat has become the biggest obstacle to our collection of tailed beasts. If we don't find a way to kill him, let alone collecting the tailed beasts, even the ninja world that is now close to unity will be divided again."
Chapter 92 Goodbye Sasuke
It seems that the immortal old man, the Six Paths Sage, has taken action!
After learning the news from Nagato, Uchiha Izumi immediately guessed the truth of the matter.
These old immortals from the Otsutsuki clan are really lingering around!
"So, Izumi, what do you think we should do next? Honestly speaking, from what Black Zetsu described, Uzumaki Naruto's current strength is simply abnormally strong. Even the current me may not be his opponent."
After six months of recuperation, Nagato's body had recovered well. With the power of Sage Mode and Samsara Eye, Nagato felt that he would be able to fight even against the First Hokage.
However, Uzumaki Naruto's performance at this time seemed to be more terrifying than the first Hokage. So Nagato could only seek Uchiha Izumi's opinion to see if she was willing to join him in fighting Konoha and snatch the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Or he could choose to sit on the mountain and watch the fight, waiting for Black Zetsu to revive Uchiha Madara and fight with Uzumaki Naruto, and then he would take action.
In response, Uchiha Izumi chuckled and said:
"It doesn't matter. No matter how strong he is, Uzumaki Naruto is ultimately just a loser who relies on his bloodline and the tailed beasts. Nagato, you don't have to do anything. Leave the task of capturing the Nine-Tails to me. It just so happens that I also need actual combat to improve my mastery of the Substitution Technique, and Uzumaki Naruto is just the right opponent for me."
"Is that so? Then Izumi, the Nine-Tails will be left to you. You have to be careful. From what Black Zetsu said, he is very afraid of Uzumaki Naruto even now." Nagato reminded.
Uchiha Izumi nodded upon hearing this, and then said:
"Leave the Nine-Tails to me. You and Konan should also prepare for the next opponent. He's a more formidable guy than the current Uzumaki Naruto. We can't afford to be careless in dealing with him!"
Nagato nodded upon hearing this, and then turned to another matter:
"Oh, that's right. According to the information from Otogakure, Sasuke seems to have defeated Orochimaru as well. Not long ago, he managed to get in touch with our Akatsuki organization, and it seems that he wants to join us in fighting Konoha."
"I see. After three years of training, the boy has grown into an excellent ninja. I just hope he won't become a loser like Uzumaki Naruto, who can only rely on external things."
Uchiha Izumi laughed and said:
"Let me go with him in this operation against Konoha. I will capture the Nine-Tails while he deals with Uchiha Itachi. By the way, I will teach him a lesson and let him know that he won't get far if he relies solely on bloodline."
……
So under the guidance of Nagato, Uchiha Izumi met Sasuke on the way to Konoha. Sasuke had grown taller and looked more mature than before. It was obvious that he had not had an easy time with Orochimaru in the past three years. Next to him were the members of the Eagle Team in the original work: Karin, Jūgo and Mizuki.
Seeing Uchiha Izumi, Sasuke naturally came forward to greet him, and Karin and others also followed. But compared to Sasuke's familiarity, Karin and Jūgo only exchanged a few polite words. Only Suigetsu was still trembling because he had heard of Uchiha Izumi's reputation.
After a conversation, Sasuke told Uchiha Izumi all of his experiences over the past three years, and also told him about his battle with Orochimaru. After Sasuke finished his story, Uchiha Izumi said:
"So Orochimaru is not really dead, but was sealed by you using the power of the Sharingan?"
Sasuke nodded and said:
"That's right. But I also gained Orochimaru's power because of it. Now I am strong enough to kill that man!"
Hearing that Sasuke seemed to have only obtained the power of Orochimaru, but did not obtain the cheat of the Six Paths Sage like Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Izumi thought to himself:
These six immortals are a bit biased!
The second brother's reincarnation had cheats, but the eldest brother's reincarnation had nothing. No wonder the brothers Asura and Indra had a falling out, it was all because of this old man's partiality.
After complaining about the Six Paths Sage in his heart, Uchiha Izumi told Sasuke about the recent events of Uzumaki Naruto. Sasuke was also stunned to hear that Uzumaki Naruto easily defeated five Kage-level masters in a one-on-five situation.
"Sister Quan, are you kidding? How could that last-place guy have such strong power?"
In response, Uchiha Izumi chuckled and said:
"Why? Because he is the son of the Fourth Hokage, he has the Nine-Tails in his body, and he has power that ordinary people can hardly imagine since he was born. But he didn't know how to use it before, and now he is just exerting his due strength."
Hearing this, Sasuke was somewhat dissatisfied and said:
"I can become so strong without much effort... This world is really unfair."
In order to gain stronger strength, Sasuke has been practicing hard since he was a child, and he dared not slack off in every class in the ninja school. After leaving Konoha, he was under great pressure from Orochimaru all the time. In the past three years, he practiced except sleeping. In order to become stronger, he also accepted various dangerous drugs and technical transformations from Orochimaru.
It can be said that Sasuke's ability to reach the level of Kage at such a young age is due to his talent, but his hard work and struggle cannot be ignored. In contrast, Naruto never took classes properly in the ninja school. Although his training after graduation can be considered as hard work, compared to Sasuke's gamble with Orochimaru, Naruto's efforts are not worth mentioning at all.
He had worked harder than the other person and was willing to fight hard, but his strength was easily surpassed by Naruto. Even Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little emotional about this cruel reality. After the emotion subsided, Sasuke said a little frustratedly:
"Now that Naruto has become so powerful, who in the ninja world can be his opponent? Sister Izumi, if we rely on just a few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat him, right?"
In response, Uchiha Izumi said:
"Sasuke, do you really think Naruto is very strong now?"
"Isn't this natural? One person crushing five Kage-level strongmen, this is the power that only the legendary First Hokage and Uchiha Madara can possess!"
"Really? But I want to tell you one thing today, that is, Naruto is not actually that strong."
Sasuke was also stunned by Uchiha Izumi's words, and then he heard Uchiha Izumi say:
"Naruto looks very strong because he has the Nine-Tails in his body, the purest blood of the Uzumaki clan, and some unknown power. These factors certainly give Uzumaki Naruto great strength, but these things are ultimately given by others, not obtained by Uzumaki Naruto himself through hard work. The power given by others is of course easy to obtain, but it is also easy to lose. In comparison, only the strength that truly belongs to you is your strength, do you understand?"
At this time, Sasuke still didn't understand, because in his opinion, power is power, as long as he can use it. As for who gave it and who it belongs to, does this matter really matter?
"Of course it's important!"
Looking in the direction of Konoha, Uchiha Izumi smiled and said:
"I will soon let you know how ridiculous it is for a ninja to rely solely on external things!"
Chapter 93 Six Paths Mode
Soon after meeting Sasuke, Uchiha Izumi arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village. Looking at the rebuilt Konoha, Uchiha Izumi chuckled, and then took Sasuke directly to the gate of Konoha.
The people guarding the gate of Konoha at this time are naturally the famous gate gods of Konoha: Izumo Kamatsuki and Tetsu Koko. Although they are only special jonin of Konoha, their comprehensive strength is at the level of jonin. In the original work, the two of them joined forces and even defeated Kakuzu after his reincarnation.
However, the two of them were no match for Uchiha Izumi. They knew they were no match for Uchiha Izumi. So after noticing Uchiha Izumi, Shen Yue Izumo immediately said to Gang Zi Tie Dao:
"Go and inform the Hokage-sama and have the village be on alert. I will hold her back."
Upon hearing this, Gang Zitie hurriedly left the gate and ran towards Konoha Village. However, Shen Yue Izumo drew the big sword behind him and rushed towards Uchiha Izumi viciously.
Seeing Kamijutsuki Izumo attacking his people, Sasuke behind Uchiha Izumi was ready to attack. But as soon as he took a step forward, Uchiha Izumi waved his hand to stop him. Then, a stream of tailed beast-level chakra surged out of Uchiha Izumi's body, forming a huge skeleton that protected Uchiha Izumi and others.
"This is Susanoo?" Sasuke said in surprise when he saw the skeleton.
Karin, who was beside Sasuke, relied on the perception ability of the Uzumaki clan to subconsciously sense the situation of the ninjas in Konoha Village. However, just as she activated Kagura's heart eye, her attention was attracted by Uchiha Izumi's chakra beside her.
Isn't Uchiha Izumi's chakra a bit too much?
With such chakra, not to mention Sasuke and Orochimaru, even the ninjas in the nearby Konoha Village combined don't have as much chakra as hers! Where did she extract such a huge amount of chakra? Is she also a Jinchūriki?
Relying on the huge amount of chakra, Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo was thick and tough, and it was completely impossible to break it with ordinary means. The strength of Kamijou Izumo was also quite good, but in front of this thick Susanoo, he could not do any damage at all, and could only watch Uchiha Izumi lead Sasuke and others towards Konoha Village.
Damn, this guy is much stronger than he was three years ago!
Looking at Uchiha Izumi's back, Shenyue Izumo suddenly felt a sense of despair. Are we going to be severely injured by this Uchiha Izumi again? However, thinking of Uzumaki Naruto's performance not long ago, Shenyue Izumo's heart surged with hope again.
No, no matter how strong Uchiha Izumi becomes, she can never be Naruto's opponent. After all, Naruto is a ninja recognized by the Sage of Six Paths, and is the one predicted by the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain who will bring change and peace to the ninja world! How can a mere Uchiha Izumi be the opponent of the child of prophecy?
Other Konoha ninjas shared the same idea as Kamijou Izumo. They all felt a sense of despair when faced with the overwhelming strength displayed by Uchiha Izumi. But after despair, they all placed their hopes on Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto was cheated by the Six Paths Sage at this time, and his strength had surpassed the first generation of Hokage, so he was naturally recognized by most people.
Even Haruno Sakura, who used to be very successful in Konoha Village, was now ignored by the Konoha ninjas. After all, Konoha now has Uzumaki Naruto, so there is no need to worry about external threats. In this case, why would they immigrate to the dangerous universe? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the ninja world and do whatever they want?
And in the expectation of the Konoha ninjas, Uzumaki Naruto came to Uchiha Izumi. However, because of his sudden increase in strength, he did not take Uchiha Izumi seriously at all, but said to Sasuke beside Uchiha Izumi:
"Sasuke, go back to Konoha! Stop clinging to hatred. It will only make you fall further into darkness."
Sasuke rolled his eyes speechlessly at this.
My parents and my tribe were killed, and you actually advised me to give up my hatred? It seems that it wasn't your relatives or friends who died, right?
Of course, Sasuke at this time didn't know the Uzumaki Naruto in the original work, and he could even say something like "Obito is the most handsome". It can only be said that Uzumaki Naruto is a guy with a missing brain, and you can't communicate with him using normal logical thinking.
When Uchiha Izumi heard Uzumaki Naruto's speech, he sneered:
"Darkness? What darkness? You said Sasuke is in darkness now. Do you mean that Konoha, where you are, is bright?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Uzumaki Naruto said as a matter of course:
"We, Konoha, were founded as a ninja village for peace, and the Will of Fire exists to allow people to understand each other. In contrast, your Akatsuki organization and Akatsuki Village are constantly waging wars and killing people, and destroying other countries and villages. People like you are, of course, the biggest threat to world peace!"
Uchiha Izumi had no interest in refutating Uzumaki Naruto's remarks because she was already speechless.
What kind of brain can make him say so confidently that "Konoha established the Ninja Village for peace"? Would a Ninja Village for peace wantonly slaughter innocent people? Would it commit genocide among itself? Even now, has Konoha changed the Hyuga clan's corrupt and backward branch system?
Uchiha Izumi simply couldn't understand Uzumaki Naruto's train of thought, so she gave up the idea of debating with this fool. Because debating with this guy would only lower her own vision and IQ, and there would be no other results.
So when Uzumaki Naruto finished speaking, the Susanoo around Uchiha Izumi suddenly changed, and a long sword appeared in the hand of Susanoo, supporting Uzumaki Naruto and stabbing him.
Of course, such an attack was meaningless to Uzumaki Naruto at this time. He easily dodged Uchiha Izumi's attack, and at the same time, a golden light shone on his body, a black long stick appeared in his hand, and more than a dozen black truth-seeking jades appeared behind him.
"What kind of power did Naruto get?"
Feeling the power of Naruto, Sasuke was surprised:
"It's so huge and majestic, it's almost like a god."
The Konoha ninjas on the side saw Uzumaki Naruto's Six Paths Mode and cheered one by one.
