The Battle Ends

Konan still had doubts. What did he mean by Nagato's soul still existing? Wasn't his body already devoid of life? He was already dead, so what could his soul possibly rely on? Could it be that Nagato rejected his imprint, and he was too embarrassed to say it, so he said this? Ugh, if you're going to lie, at least make up a plausible story! Isn't this just blatant lying?

Issui Konan's brows were still furrowed, Yishui realized that she still didn't quite understand the Ice Soul Seal, so he continued to explain, "It's alright. My Ice Soul Seal allows me to collect the soul of a dead person into my own soul world. Any soul imprinted by me, whether dead or alive, will not escape my control. As long as I am alive, even if someone I imprinted dies, their soul cannot go to hell; it must enter my soul world. Reviving a soul without a body requires another Secret Technique. There's no time for that now; we'll revive Nagato when we have time. Konoha is in dire need of rebuilding right now, and I need to focus on that. You should return to the Land of Rain first."

Although Konan was a little confused, seeing Issui's genuine expression, she chose to believe him and said, "Okay, I understand. Leave Nagato's body to me. What do I need to revive him?"

Issui said, "Let's keep Nagato's eyes for now. He still needs them after his self-reflection. Be careful when you go back. I think that Tobi will definitely come looking for you once he knows Nagato is dead. He also has some desire for Nagato's eyes. You'd better be careful. With your current strength, you're still a bit lacking against him. If you can't beat him, you can run away. I'll take care of him."

Konan curled her lip and said, "Tch, I'm not afraid of him. At worst, we'll die together. It'll be like clearing an obstacle for peace, which would be a huge help to you. Don't you want that?"

Issui scoffed and said, "No need. Men's affairs don't need women's interference. Besides, if you die, I'll have to resurrect you and make a body for you, which is very troublesome. Moreover, if I resurrect you, I'll have touched every part of your body. Do you really like me touching your entire body?"

Konan was speechless after hearing Issui lewd talk. Damn it, I'm not going to die. You can't touch me even if you want to. The thought of her body being touched all over by a strange man made her feel disgusted.

Issui Konan had been reassured by his words and had given up on fighting Tobi, Yi Shui was completely at ease. In fact, what Issui said was not wrong. When creating a body for a soul, the body is something that you create yourself, so of course you know it clearly. When he created Lin's body, Bao Weizhan saw every part of Lin's body clearly, but he didn't tell Lin. He guessed that if he had, he wouldn't be alive now; he would have been torn to pieces by Lin long ago.

No, don't misunderstand. Issui isn't that kind of perverted. He didn't painstakingly sculpt a woman's figure piece by piece. He simply created a basic body from ice and then used a Flesh Activation Secret Technique to gradually transform this ice figure into a normal human. It was all an effect of the Secret Technique. If Issui could truly create people piece by piece, even the Goddess Nüwa would have to call him "big brother." After all, Goddess Nüwa only made people from clay, and when she got tired, she simply threw the clay away. If Goddess Nüwa had really perfected every part of every clay figure's body, she probably wouldn't have died from mending the sky, but from exhaustion...

Konan and Issui talked for a while, then Konan carried the corpse towards the Land of Rain. However, Nagato's eyes remained behind.

Not long after Konan left, Kakashi and Team Guy's team arrived. There were basically no more casualties in the village. All the dead had been resurrected by Nagato, and the injured had been taken care of. The next thing everyone needed to do was rebuild the village.

"How did it go? Did you succeed? I saw that everyone has come back to life, so I figured something must have happened here. Where are the enemies?" Kakashi asked as he stepped forward.

Issui smiled and said, "You've come at just the right time. Things here are over. It might have surprised everyone, but after I met with Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, we didn't fight much. Instead, we discussed our respective beliefs. In the end, Nagato was finally persuaded by my words and decided to give up his hatred for Konoha and use his own life to save all the people who lost their lives in the village. It's a very good outcome."

Kakashi was quite surprised to hear what Issui said. He hadn't expected that the person who revived everyone in the village was Nagato, who was the one who destroyed the village. What impressed Kakashi even more was that Issui had managed to change Nagato's mind. He knew very well how difficult it was to do that. To make someone who had held onto their beliefs for so many years suddenly change their mind and side with the other was truly a miracle.

Seeing Issui's joyful expression, Neji was inwardly cheering. He was genuinely impressed by Issui; he felt Issui's life was perfect. Although his village was destroyed, he wasn't overly saddened. After joining Konoha, he relied on his potential to the Hyuga Clan, and through continuous training and hard work, he became an excellent ninja and a hero recognized by everyone in the village. A rising star of Star of Hope Konoha was emerging. Perhaps, after Hinata became the head of the clan, he would become her capable assistant. Recently, Uncle Hiashi had implemented reforms in the Hyuga, and the relationship Hyuga Main Family and Hyuga Branch Family was getting better and better. He would definitely assist him in developing the Hyuga into the most powerful Kekkei Genkai clan in the Shinobi World.

Seeing everyone agree with Issui Naruto, Naruto couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He thought he could have done the same, but he was just a step too late; he was training in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku. This annoying guy stole his thunder, just like Sasuke, always trying to steal his spotlight. But deep down, he admired him greatly because he protected Konoha. Anyone who could protect Konoha was a comrade. However, to become Hokage, to become someone who protects everyone, he would never admit defeat to him. There was no other reason than that his name was Naruto Uzumaki!

"Alright, go back now. Accept everyone's cheers! Now, you are the hero of this village!! Young man!!" Kai grabbed Issui and ran into the village. To the village, he was like their pillar of support; he had become the village's hero.

"Guy-sensei... let me help you..." Rock Lee followed Kai and carried Issui on his shoulder, walking towards the village.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. That was too violent! Damn it, your way of dealing with heroes is really unique. Luckily, Issui is a ninja. If Issui were an ordinary person, Issui would probably fall apart by the time they carried Issui back to the village.

Being carried made Issui feel extremely uncomfortable. He roared, "Hey, you two bastards, put me down right now, or I won't be polite!"

Kai pursed his lips and said, "Li, no matter what difficulties you face, don't give in to the enemy, understand? Although he is a hero of the village, he still needs our reward. We'll carry him back to the village as fast as we can."

Rock Lee excitedly said, "Yes! Guy-sensei, then I will... Open the Gate of Opening! Open the Gate of Healing! Open the Gate of Life! Open the Gate of Pain! Open the Gate of Limit!..."

To increase his speed, Rock Lee opened Five Gates Released Formation in succession.

"Li, you... sigh, then I have no choice but to do this! Open the Gate of Opening! Open the Gate of Healing! Open the Gate of Life! Open the Gate of Pain! Open the Gate of Limit! Open the Gate of View!..." Kai watched as his proud disciple actually opened Five Gates Released Formation to achieve his goal, so he, as the master, couldn't fall behind.

Then, the two beasts, their bodies constantly spewing green energy, carried an "unidentified object" and vanished in an instant; their speed was no longer discernible to the naked eye.

Issui felt extremely uncomfortable. He was about to speak when a large amount of air was forced into his mouth, making it difficult to breathe. Damn it, he could barely feel his body anymore. These two idiots, bastards, morons, morons, and mentally challenged...

The unpleasant feeling didn't last long before he was thrown heavily to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned to see a group of people staring intently at him, as if they had spotted prey. Then, he was tossed into the air by these people. Even the strongest physique couldn't withstand that; his stomach started to churn with acid. What a miserable day. Oh, please let me rest for a bit...

Although he was feeling unwell, Issui did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. After all, this was an honor for him. He had made so many contributions to the village, and he deserved everyone's cheers. This would also help him to better identify with and integrate into the world.

After everyone was overjoyed, they devoted themselves to the construction of the village. Unfortunately, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, was temporarily unconscious and unable to manage the village affairs, so the elite Jonin led their own teams to handle various matters on their own.

Konoha's two advisors survived the war and stepped forward to organize the village's leadership. Danzo, an ambitious man, also stepped Danzo at the opportune moment. Konoha had just experienced a great upheaval. Although the war had been won, the coma of the Princess Fifth Hokage Tsunade, plunged the village into a turbulent undercurrent once again. At this time, various forces emerged, striving to compete for the position of the next Hokage.

Issui the village's hero and strongest ninja, without exception, Ikki was also caught in this vortex and became the most popular candidate for the Sixth Hokage in the village.

Kakashi's strength ranks at the pinnacle of the village's high-level strategy; he is one of the most powerful elite Jonin. His teacher was the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze, and he has made a name for himself in the ninja world, earning the title "Konoha Copy Ninja Kakashi. "Shinobi World Moreover, he is experienced in combat, composed, possesses both strength and intelligence, and is of suitable age, making him one of the candidates to run for the Sixth Hokage.

Although Danzo doesn't have a good reputation, he was still the leader of Root and a veteran of three Hokage eras: the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade Senju. He was also a Danzo of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. In terms of qualifications, he was second to none. If he insisted on participating, he would probably be a formidable opponent.
