As dusk fell, the red light illuminated the land, casting its glow upon the countless corpses.

Splorch!

Gen'ichi used a Kunai to pierce a Sunagakure Ninja's heart.

"Stop constantly hitting me with Wind Release Ninjutsu. They're really not as effective as you think, honestly..."

Gen'ichi kicked the enemy, whose expression was frozen in place, sending the body flying.

Around him, dense piles of bodies were scattered everywhere, stacked layer upon layer. Most of them had met gruesome ends; severed limbs were considered relatively good. The unrecognizable skeletal remains were what truly instilled fear.

More importantly, judging by the distribution of the corpses, the closer they were to Gen'ichi's position, the more densely they were piled and the more horrifying their state.

"D-damn it, you monster, Wind Release having no effect on you is like the embodiment of Calamity... What is your Technique..."

An Iwa Ninja's entire body was covered in festering wounds. His face, filled with despair, stared blankly at the sky, his life entering its final moments.

More terrifying than defeat was the fact that in his dying moments, he personally experienced the terror of Konoha's new generation.

Especially Gen'ichi Shiranui, with such wide-range attack Techniques... Just thinking that they failed to kill Gen'ichi made one feel despair.

The next moment, Ichie had already pierced the guy's head with a Kunai.

"It's over. Gen'ichi-san's power is far more terrifying than I imagined..."

Ichie was exhausted, her pale face taking on a strange hue under the red glow of the setting sun.

She turned her head and looked at the person surrounded by countless corpses and the surprised and cheering Konoha Ninja.

He looked completely exhausted too...

Gen'ichi did indeed feel a sense of fatigue, which was extremely rare. It had been years since he felt this drained.

His entire Chakra supply was almost completely depleted.

The results were equally astounding.

In such a large-scale battlefield, Gen'ichi was practically a walking arsenal. Wherever he went, a large group of Konoha Ninja and enemies would spontaneously follow him, and that's where the most casualties occurred.

In the distance, the Kage-level battlefield had also temporarily come to an end.

The four Kage-level Experts had fought fiercely, but for now, none had fallen.

"Old hag Chiyo is still as fast as ever when running away, but from now on, she'll have to use a different method to perform Hand Signs..."

Orochimaru's appearance was disheveled, but in his hand, he held a severed arm.

This was Chiyo's severed arm, and it was Orochimaru's trophy from this battle.

On the other side, Rōshi had entered Partial Tailed Beast Transformation but still couldn't secure a victory. Minato Namikaze's harassment made it impossible for him to do anything but suppress his anger and slowly retreat while escorting the Iwa Ninja.

This great battle had officially concluded.

Many weary Konoha Ninja couldn't hide their excitement, cheering loudly, their voices echoing through the clouds.

"The enemy lost at least two thousand people! This is a huge victory!"

"Ah, thanks to Lord Orochimaru and Lord Minato Namikaze... Lord Tsunade stayed in the rear and didn't even go to the front lines, and we still defeated them."

"Did you notice that kid from the Shiranui Family? His Nuclear Release Ninjutsu is way too strong! Lots of people were spontaneously following him; that's a much more efficient way to kill enemies!!"

Many Konoha Ninja were talking excitedly.

The entire Konoha village lost fewer than a thousand ninja in this battle. They were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, yet they managed to achieve this outcome against the combined assault of two hidden villages. It was no wonder they were ecstatic.

"With such heavy losses, the Iwa Ninja and Sunagakure Ninja probably won't come back, right?"

Might Guy plopped down on the ground, his eyes barely open.

"Who knows? Anyway, no matter how many come, I'll fight them all! Grandpa Obito will make them experience terror firsthand!"

Obito flexed his arm, as if showing off his strength, his face full of confidence.

Having gone through a battle of this magnitude and winning, Obito's confidence was fully established, and his mindset was soaring.

Kakashi didn't even lift his head, receiving treatment from Rin while speaking coldly, "Speaking of which, you didn't seem to do much in this battle, did you? I even saw you almost cry..."

"W-what?! Don't joke around, there's no such thing! I killed three enemies too!"

"No? When I took down an enemy with Lightning Blade, who was it I saved at the time? Someone who had sparkly things on their face..."

"No way! Those weren't tears, they were snot!!"

Might Guy added another jab, "Oh, I'll give you a hundred Ryo if you tell me how you managed to wipe snot onto your eyelids. Maybe it's a good training method!"

"Huh?!"

As they talked, the few of them started arguing again, and finally, they were pulling at each other's collars and squabbling about duels... again.

They sure have a lot of energy.

Many passing Konoha Ninja saw this scene and immediately showed looks of approval.

"Look, those kids are Gen'ichi's teammates. The most outstanding new generation are all gathered right there!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Just seeing how they're about to fight, you know they have a really good relationship..."

Many people stood in the distance, pointing at Obito and the others, their faces filled with relief and satisfaction.

After this brutal battle, for the first time, many people personally experienced the power of the strongest newcomer, Gen'ichi Shiranui.

The terrifying nature of the Nuclear Release Bloodline Limit was fully displayed through this battle. That terrifying Crowd Control Ability was simply overwhelming, leaving people both captivated and unable to resist. It was also after this battle that many people began referring to Gen'ichi as the "Calamity".

Gen'ichi remained very calm about this.

"They won't give up easily. We'll just have to see how their next wave of attacks unfolds."

Gen'ichi let out a heavy sigh. After resting for a while, his severely depleted stamina recovered slightly.

To some extent, the big guy inside him had been continuously supplying his needs.

A little while later, an order came from the Central Tent for Gen'ichi to head over immediately.

Along the way, many people who saw Gen'ichi stopped and looked at him with expressions of respect and admiration.

"Thank you for back there. If it weren't for you, I probably would have been killed!"

"If you ever need my help with anything in the future, just say the word!"

"Ah, please don't say that..."

Gen'ichi responded to these enthusiastic people as he stepped into the tent.

The moment he stepped inside.

Tsunade immediately walked up and delivered a heavy punch.

Thump!

"Ow..."

"Damn brat, you actually dared to disobey my orders back then? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Tsunade had a fierce look in her eyes.

"Lord Tsunade, you're choking me... Besides, given the situation back then, there really wasn't any need for me to retreat. By staying there, I could be of greater use."

Gen'ichi wore a helpless expression.
