Roy: I'm Here for Peace!

On the battlefield, ruins and devastation were everywhere, but no one cared about that anymore.

"This... aren't we already dead?"

"What happened? Why were we resurrected from the underworld?"

"This is... my body? Is this what it feels like to be alive?"

"That's wonderful! Fukasaku-sama, Lord Kakashi, they've all been revived!"

"Why can the dead be brought back to life...? Is it Naruto's determination that's working?!"

The exclamations and cries of disbelief echoed across the battlefield of Konoha, instantly engulfing the small village that had been shrouded in sorrow and confusion. Although they did not know why the dead could be resurrected from the underworld, the Konoha people had long lost the ability to think as they saw familiar faces reappear before their eyes.

"Thank goodness, it's all finally over!" Ino said, wiping away tears of joy.

"Ino, Sakura, you two join the medical team too, and prioritize treating those with more serious injuries!" Although the dead have been resurrected, many more people suffered extremely serious injuries in the previous turmoil. If they are not treated in time, the tragedy will continue. Therefore, Tsunade did not relax at all. While trying to squeeze out more Chakra Katsuyu from her chakra, she notified Ino and the others to quickly enter medical ninja mode.

"Yes!" Sakura immediately sprang into action, but Ino, however, had a sudden Inazuma that she had forgotten some important information due to Pain's sudden outburst. She covered her mouth in alarm and let out a scream.

"Ino, what's wrong?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Oh no, I forgot something very important, Tsunade, there might still be enemies in the village!"

As soon as Ino finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the crowd. Tsunade also turned her gaze over. She naturally believed that her disciple would not lie to her, but at a time like this, did everyone still have the mind to continue fighting?

However, Ino's gaze swept past the crowd and landed on the Hokage Rock behind them. "Besides Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, there are three other Akatsuki members in the village..."

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

Following Ino's gaze Tsunade and the others looked up and, sure enough, found Roy and the other two standing on the Hokage Rock, fully prepared and seemingly ready to launch the next war at any moment!

"Deidara, Orochimaru, and Roy, whom Kakashi and the others mentioned!" Tsunade a deep breath. Any one of these three had the strength to start a war on their own. Even if Konoha were at its peak, it would not be easy for them to defeat them. Moreover, Konoha was already devastated by Six Paths of Pain's attacks, and almost no one could maintain a full Chakra.

Moreover, judging from their posture, they seem to be completely led by that Roy. The fact that even unruly S-rank rogue ninjas like Orochimaru and Deidara are so respectful shows that his power may be even greater than what was reported in the intelligence!

In this situation, even someone as composed as Tsunade would inevitably fall into deep despair.

The surrounding ninjas might not know Roy, but they had heard of the other two.

"That's... Orochimaru, Jiraiya is known as Three Sannin Orochimaru, along with Lady Tsunade and Lady Jiraiya!"

"Damn it, he was the one who launched the Leaf Destruction Plan three years ago, is he going to do it again now?"

"Is that blond guy Deidara? The terrifying ninja who kidnapped the Kazekage from Sand Hidden Village all by himself?"

"Who is that person standing in front of Orochimaru and Deidara? Is he their leader? But wasn't the leader of Akatsuki already defeated?"

"There are two things I need to correct." Amidst the horrified gazes of the Konoha villagers, Roy stepped through the void and descended the Hokage Rock, as if an invisible force was supporting his body.

"First, we come with goodwill, not as your enemies! Second, we have broken away from the Akatsuki, and our newly established force is called the Dream God Sect. Please do not confuse the two!"

"The Evil God Sect, the Dream God Sect..." Tsunade muttered to herself, recalling the religion Hidan believed in.

"Is this the ability you mentioned last time, the ability to fly into the sky by bursting into action?" Kakashi asked his best friend beside him, his lips twitching.

"No, he really is flying, flying in a way we can't understand!" Kai said solemnly.

Before the initial power levels collapsed too much, flight was indeed a very rare ability in the Naruto World, let alone Roy's flight, which was completely unlike ninjutsu, which put immense pressure on everyone almost instantly.

"Since you are not enemies, please leave Konoha as soon as possible. You are not welcome here!" Although she didn't know what Roy meant, Konoha really didn't have the ability to fight again, so Tsunade simply went with the flow.

Before Roy could even speak, the villain had already appeared.

Deidara, quite naturally, said, "Brother Roy, it seems these guys from Konoha aren't willing to accept our good intentions. How about I use art to teach them how to treat guests?"

"It seems they are still indulging in the illusion of their past power, believing themselves to be the same Konoha that once dominated the five nations, unaware that they have long since decayed and fallen into ruin. Leader, let us help them recognize this cruel reality!" Orochimaru said with a malicious grin, licking his lips.

"When you can't talk, you resort to threats. Is this what you call goodwill?" Tsunade stood up and said defiantly.

Although Kakashi, Might Guy, and the others did not speak, their proactive defensive stances spoke volumes. The ninjas of Konoha may not want war, but they are definitely not afraid of it.

The atmosphere around them grew increasingly heavy, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere, as if an invisible boulder was pressing down on their hearts.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a loud shout suddenly came from above.

"It's you again! I'm not going to let you get away with this!" It was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, who had just returned to the village after Talk no Jutsu Nagato. Seeing the two sides facing off, fueled by both old and new grudges, he suddenly entered Sage Mode, wielding a Big Ball Rasengan and leaping down from mid-air to strike Roy.

"Naruto, watch out!"

For some reason, even though the Akatsuki leaders had all been defeated by Naruto, Tsunade's heart clenched when she actually faced Roy, who was Hanzō the Salamander during the Second Ninja World War.

"Celestial arts?"

Roy remained noncommittal in the face of Naruto Uzumaki's sudden attack, merely raising his right hand casually and waving it lightly as if shooing away an annoying fly. Even Pain, the Pain Tendo, had to take this seriously, and the attack shattered instantly. Naruto Uzumaki's body was sent hurtling into the distance like a cannonball.

"This is... a celestial technique?" Fukasaku somewhat incredulous. Why would a celestial technique produce such an overwhelming result?

The larger Katsuyu, a split form of the Slug Sage of the Shikkotsu Forest, solemnly declared, "This is a power even stronger than sage techniques; it is the Six Paths Power that touches upon the principles of all things and controls all phenomena!"
