The Shinobi World United (2)

Obito shook his head and said, "No, I understand now. It's not that the world abandoned me, but that I abandoned the world. If this world is bad, bloody and dark, then let's change it and create a truly peaceful world that belongs to everyone. A world like the Eye of the Moon Plan is just a virtual existence, nothing more than a delusion. I advise you to return to the light like me. Only then can we truly change the world with the power of our own hands!"

Rin gently placed her hand, Obito's, and Kakashi's hands together and said, "We have always been comrades, past, present, and future. Although we have strayed from the right path in the past, we have now returned to where we started. Konoha's Minato Namikaze's Team is reunited. After this catastrophe, we will strive to change the world, together with all our ninja comrades in this world..."

"Haha, what a ridiculous thing! You'll never understand. Human greed, hatred, and evil will ultimately prevent them from coming together and trusting each other. Even Hashirama, who co-founded Konoha with me, couldn't trust me. Peace is nothing but a laughable dream. This world needs destruction to be reborn. Only by controlling everyone's thoughts can we make humanity follow our own will, doing whatever we tell them to do. There's no need for fighting, assassination, or scrambling. There's no distinction between rich and poor, superior and inferior. This is the peace we want..." Madara said with a maniacal laugh.

"Looks like you're determined to fight, huh? Then let me, your junior, spar with you first..." Issui stepped forward from the crowd and said, "I want to defeat Madara and prove that I can change this world. I'm determined to be the savior. Why can't transmigrators be the protagonists? Why does Naruto have to be the protagonist? I can definitely do it too, otherwise I'll waste my powerful Heavenly Kekkei Genkai."

Madara turned to look at Issui and said, "Kabuto has told me everything, but that guy tried to control me. However, all forbidden techniques have flaws. The target of the Impure World Reincarnation must not be too much stronger than oneself, otherwise, the consequences will be very bad. He has already been beaten half to death by me. He escaped quickly, but I have no interest in him, so I didn't catch this little snake."

"I'm very interested in you, aren't I? You're from the Heaven Clan, so your strength is indeed sufficient to fight me. However, defeating me now won't be easy. My Impure World Reincarnation Tensei body was made from Hashirama's body, and before I died, my eyes evolved from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the Rinnegan. I'm now the new Six Paths. Defeating me will be very difficult. Are you ready?"

Behind a mountain peak at the heart of the battle, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, were enjoying a leisurely drink and snack, appearing extremely relaxed.

Tobirama frowned and said, "Madara has indeed appeared, and he's even stronger than before. Can that kid defeat him? Should we intervene?"

Hashirama enjoyed drinking a cup of sake, then tilted his head back and finished it in one gulp. He then took the bottle to pour more sake, as if he hadn't heard Tobirama's words at all.

"Hey bro, I'm talking to you. Can you please stop drinking? Things have come to this point, aren't you worried?" Tobirama veins bulged; he was utterly speechless at his brother's behavior.

Hashirama slapped Tobirama, looking troubled, and said, "No, let's keep drinking. That little guy's strength has increased quite a bit, and with so many people helping him, he should be able to win. Let's appear one last time and persuade Madara. Although he has committed some sins, it's also because he misses his younger brother. Let him vent his feelings." Then things would be easier to talk to, and the world would eventually return to peace.

I had long foreseen this day. People only truly understood the value of peace after the war. Now, with this opportunity, it's time to unite them. Peace cannot be achieved by one or two people alone. "Those who act justly gain much support, while those who act unjustly find little." This is the principle. Ban was merely a victim of history.

Tobirama said, somewhat speechlessly, "Fine, you're still sympathizing with others? You're hopeless. People like Madara should be eliminated. The Uchiha can't understand the thoughts of normal people; they only bring disaster to this world."

Hashirama, swirling his sake bottle, said, "No, everything that exists has its reason. Not all Uchiha are Obito. Didn't Obito turn to peace now? So what if they have a cursed fate? As long as we forcefully break through that curse, people can trust each other."

"Fine, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You're just stubborn. You were like this back then, and even after the reunion, you haven't changed. If you had just killed Madara back then, the Uchiha wouldn't exist, and we wouldn't have all this trouble now," Tobirama said helplessly.

"Well, well, what's the rush? Without the Uchiha, there's no Konoha yet. I believe Madara will understand me. True peace is not far away. It's great that we old folks can see a peaceful future. What do you think? Let the younger generation handle the task of saving the world..." Hashirama said nonchalantly, continuing to drink his wine.

"Fire Style - Dragon Flame Song Technique!!!" Madara spewed out a massive fire dragon from his mouth, charging towards the Allied Shinobi Forces. The fire dragon danced and rushed towards the Allied Shinobi Forces, covering an area of twenty to thirty meters.

Different people using the same Ninjutsu will produce Issui. If Ikki uses the Fire Release Ninjutsu "Dragon Flame Song," he definitely won't reach Madara's level. Even with the 50% Fire Style from the Eye of Heaven, he still can't compare to Madara's Fire Style. After all, Madara is an old monster who started out with Fire Style and has trained for many years, specializing in Fire Style. But Issui is different. He knows many types of Ninjutsu but isn't proficient in any of them. The only Ninjutsu he's truly proficient in is Ice Release Ninjutsu.

"Ice-- Ten-Thousand-Foot Ice Wall!!" Issui pressed his hands down hard in the air, and a huge ice wall a foot thick suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The width of this ice wall was enough to surround the entire Allied Shinobi Forces formation, protecting the Allied Shinobi Forces like an iron cylinder.

"Sizzle..."

The massive fire dragons collided with the ice wall, producing a deafening roar. The powerful Fire Style gradually sublimated the ice wall into water vapor, covering the entire battlefield. The parts of the ice wall scorched by the fire dragons were reduced to a thin layer, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

"You all step back. I'll fight him. This isn't a battle you can interfere in at will. To avoid unnecessary casualties, let me fight him," Issui said to the Five Kage.

"How can you do that? You know he's a renowned ninja, one of the two leaders who co-founded Konoha with the First Hokage. Your strength is no match for him. Let's attack together. Don't try to be a hero. At a time like this, what kind of hero are you trying to be?" Tsunade said reproachfully.

The Raikage added sourly, "Yes, we're not as strong as you, Sixth Hokage, but we're still the strongest Kage, so we can at least help you a little. Everyone saw that you're the hero of this battle; we just want to bask in your glory."

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, said, "Let him go. We old folks can just watch. He's proving to us that First of ninjas has risen. First generation replaces the old, and more opportunities should be given to the younger generation to create. They are the pillars of this world in the future. Besides, this is a decisive battle between ninjas, a battle of courage. If we all join in, it loses its meaning and becomes more like a samurai's belief."

Gaara said, "I support the Sixth Hokage. Although my strength is far inferior to his, we are both young, so I understand his thoughts. He wants to be a hero, to save the world single-handedly. He wants to add a heroic chapter to his life. We have no reason to stop him, and this battle... we will win!!"

The Mizukage agreed, saying, "I remember when he came to Kirigakure to help, I felt he was different from others. Perhaps he truly bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the entire ninja world, which is why he can constantly push himself and strive to grow into a man who can stand tall and upright. Although ninjas are a group of people who live in darkness, sometimes we also need heroes."

Mifune said, "I support him. This is a heroic battle for the samurai, a battle for honor, a battle for fame. He will surely become famous in one battle, and the corrupt atmosphere of the ninja world needs to be changed. Sometimes courage is not recklessness."

Obito said, "Yes, he has the strength to fight Madara. He's not only fighting Madara, but also fighting himself, overcoming himself, surpassing himself, and becoming stronger. He's been working hard for so long, probably waiting for this day. We should just support him silently from behind. After all, getting involved in such a battle would only be disruptive. I know Madara's power; it's not even on the same level as ours."

Issui turned around and smiled at everyone, saying, "Please believe in me. I am the Star of Hope of Konoha, and now I am also the Star of Hope of the ninja world. So please believe in me, I will definitely put on a spectacular battle for everyone to see, and I will also give the Fourth Shinobi World War a perfect ending. After the battle, we will usher in peace and rebirth."

"Oh..." A cheer erupted from the Allied Shinobi Forces formation. They were cheering for Issui, but more than that, they had unconditional trust in him, because Issui had never let them down. They were beginning to witness the birth of a God of Shinobi.

Under the silent watchful eyes and encouragement of everyone, Issui stepped onto the battlefield to face Madara Uchiha. The two stood facing each other, a terrifying aura of Chakra emanating from them. They had raised their strength to its peak, and the decisive battle was about to begin. This would be a battle that would influence the future of the entire Shinobi World. They no longer represented an individual, but a belief. In the confrontation between two different beliefs, who would emerge victorious?
