Everyone Remembered That Trembling Moment, Victory Was Within Reach

Naruto gasped as he watched Sasuke bite down on Karin's scarred arm. This Sasuke Uchiha, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was no good person either.

Fortunately, he has Izanagi!

Naruto's despair vanished instantly. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he resolutely activated Unlimited Izanagi. This technique's main advantage is invincibility; as long as the cooldown is over, you're practically immortal!

He was too lazy to think about why the system was so generous in giving him such a powerful cheat, but when he thought about Sharingan skills of the Uchiha Clan were all quite overpowered, he suddenly felt that Izanagi was nothing special.

Both of them used their recovery skills at the same time, but the difference was that Sasuke chose to restore his health, while Naruto chose to return to his pre-battle state.

"Go stop them!" Kabuto panicked. He thought it was the end of the battle, but it turned out to be just a break between matches, and the next battle was about to begin.

"If we don't do something soon, all the White Zetsu will be destroyed by them!" Black Zetsu said.

"I know!" Kabuto was extremely agitated. What could be done to stop two Gundams from fighting?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he abruptly raised his head and murmured.

"Send White Zetsu to join the attack on the Allied Shinobi Forces. Naruto Uzumaki will definitely not stand idly by! As long as he withdraws from the battlefield, Sasuke Uchiha will also stop."

"Should we send the Impure World Reincarnation army to attack them first?" Black Zetsu asked.

"No, I'll go myself," Kabuto said resolutely.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu merely nodded without replying; he excelled at strategy, not combat. He'd Kabuto, and he could simply watch from the sidelines.

It was a good opportunity to sneak into the Allied Shinobi Forces' ranks and gather intelligence, but the Five Kage actually managed to scatter the troops of each ninja village, leaving them no chance to sow discord.

Naruto Uzumaki is even more cunning; neither of his two weaknesses is revealed, so he probably hasn't even been on the battlefield. Right now, we don't know how to deal with him; we can only deal with the Five Kage first.

"Oh no! The White Zetsu army is surging in!"

"Assemble! The White Zetsu are about to charge!"

The Allied Shinobi Forces were in chaos, but fortunately, the Five Kage were all at the front lines, and clear orders were issued. The brief chaos subsided, and the Allied Shinobi Forces once again formed human walls.

"Earth Release troops, intercept them!" Gaara issued his first order.

Hundreds of ninjas used Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall at the same time. The White Zetsu that was charging forward were instantly crushed by the earthen wall that suddenly appeared on the ground. The sudden collapse of the ground also took away another wave of White Zetsu.

"Kill them!"

On the open battlefield, the two sides clashed instantly, like clay oxen colliding.

White Zetsu's fighting style is more aggressive, relying primarily on tactics such as charging, flanking maneuvers, cutting, and encirclement, simply because White Zetsu afraid of pain nor death. On the other hand, the Allied Shinobi Forces' greatest fear is falling into White Zetsu encirclement.

Once those monsters complete their encirclement, they will spare no effort to shrink the encirclement and fight the ninjas in a very small space, almost in a frenzied one-for-one exchange.

Once the encirclement is rapidly tightened, the ninjas become more restricted in their Ninjutsu, fearing they might injure their comrades. But the more restricted they are, the more ferocious the White Zetsu's counterattack becomes.

Their only hope was a rescue, either by leading troops to break through the encirclement or by risking their lives to break out. As long as an opening was made, there was hope for survival.

From the beginning of the war until the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces, the shadow of death and the fear of monsters have always haunted these ordinary ninjas.

They've been fighting this far only on the back of anger and ninja pride, and everyone knows that if they take a step back, the village will be in danger.

The Allied Shinobi Forces primarily relied on tactical deployment, dividing ninjas into various mobile and special forces units, which operated tactically on the battlefield.

For example, Earth Release units, Water Release units, and Lightning Release. They can assemble when needed, but they can also immediately form other units in the face of emergencies.

Various Ninjutsu flew around the battlefield, and White Zetsu never retreated unless ordered to do so.

Kakashi's 700-strong force held firm on the left flank of the White Zetsu army, giving Choza Akimichi's 900-strong vanguard a chance to break out.

Their task was to break up the left flank of the White Zetsu army, divide and surround them, and annihilate them one by one with superior numbers. Humans are always smarter than White Zetsu, and know how to adapt to changing circumstances.

No matter how clever Kabuto was behind White Zetsu, orders issued on the battlefield would always be delayed, which gave the Allied Shinobi Forces a chance to counterattack.

Kakashi only had a few generals under his command, and Gaara was the overall commander above him. Under these circumstances, this seasoned veteran who had been on the battlefield since he was seven years old actually found it easy. At least it was much easier than working every day in the Hokage Building, and he handled battlefield missions with ease.

Genma Shiranui cleaved down three White Zetsu with a single Ninja Blade.

At first, he was horrified by the White Zetsu on this battlefield, but as a Jonin who had participated in the Third Shinobi World War, he had to set a good example for his subordinates.

The people under his command were mostly Chunin the Five Great Shinobi Villages, with average abilities and average personalities.

As the battle raged, he initially thought his side would suffer heavy casualties, but later discovered that the White Zetsu weren't as ferocious as he'd imagined. They were indeed fearless, but they were rather dim-witted.

Sometimes their actions are baffling, such as more than ten White Zetsu attacking one person. This actually gives the other ninjas an opportunity to deal with the White Zetsu one by one.

Ahead, a gap had been created in the White Zetsu army, and they were getting further and further away from the Five Kage Alliance's banner. He knew he was approaching the heart of the White Zetsu army, an extremely dangerous move.

At that moment, he turned his head and saw that only a dozen or so people remained around him.

For a moment, Genma Shiranui a cold sweat. Looking back out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't see the Allied Shinobi Forces' flag at all; all around him were White Zetsu.

Fortunately, Yamashiro Aoba, wearing sunglasses, arrived in time with his men. Yamashiro Aoba, a member of the Golden Generation with ninja number 009744, had a much longer tenure than Genma Shiranui.

Whether it was his personality or his strength, Yamashiro Aoba served as a bodyguard for several Hokage. Previously, Yamashiro Aoba and Namiashi Raidō were both confidants of the Third Hokage, and were known for their meticulousness and reliability.

"No retreat order!" Yamashiro Aoba roared. "The flanks are pinned down. Charge in, wipe out these monsters, and kill Kabuto!"

Genma Shiranui's spirits lifted; he had truly had enough of these monsters' harassment lately. They had been almost entirely on the defensive, and now they finally had a chance to counterattack.

The two groups merged, forming an even more powerful force. Genma Shiranui thrust out several Senbon, piercing through four or five White Zetsu.

Finally, he spotted another team that had also attacked from the flank. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Might Guy, followed by only two or three men, advancing with unstoppable momentum.

"They're there, let's meet up and go there!"

Bang!

Might Guy kicked a group of White Zetsu away, and in the blink of an eye, he opened the Sixth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, his Chakra outwards. He drew a white line on the battlefield and charged wildly.

Black Zetsu, standing not far away, was completely dumbfounded. He had never seen such a fierce person before. What kind of madman was this ninja? In the blink of an eye, a loud bang was heard.

Might Guy swept across all directions, smashing hundreds of White Zetsu into pieces, causing Black Zetsu to break out in a cold sweat.

This fearless, green-skinned, big oaf—where did the Allied Shinobi Forces find such an oddball to send to the battlefield? He completely disregarded the rules of the battlefield, and the few ninjas following behind him were almost dead.

Among the Jonin Konohagakure, Kakashi's generation was known as the Golden Generation, the hope of Konohagakure. Of these ninjas, Might Guy was the one who frequently failed missions.

In terms of Ninjutsu alone, he was the least talented, even Chunin to some hot-headed Chunin. As for strategy, his simple mind often preferred straightforward tactics.

The higher-ups in Konohagakure disliked Might Guy because he was thoughtless and always messed things up. However, he was an Elite Jonin who could rival or even surpass Kakashi in Taijutsu alone, and no one could say he wasn't brave.

Even with only two or three men, he still fought his way from the right flank of the White Zetsu army all the way to the left, directly boosting the already low morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

Shouting their own slogans, the Allied Shinobi Forces charged towards the White Zetsu like madmen, disregarding everything else. They had had enough of those monsters and now wished they could tear them to pieces!

"The left and right sides are collapsing!" Black Zetsu took a deep breath, thinking to himself that the seemingly insurmountable situation on the battlefield had actually changed, which was truly unbelievable.

Meanwhile, Naruto was unaware of the situation on the battlefield, nor did he know that Kabuto had ordered White Zetsu to attack the Allied Shinobi Forces. Even if he had known, he would have found it utterly insignificant.

Before the war even started, he had already made arrangements for his entire family (mainly Hinata and Ino), so how could he possibly turn back to help just because Kabuto was fighting the Allied Shinobi Forces?

What a joke! The Nine-Tails has already been handed over, what use is he?

So, in front of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto activated the Blood-colored Nine-Tails again, pointing it vaguely at Sasuke Uchiha, his meaning quite clear.

"Again!"

"Sasuke!" Karin grabbed Sasuke and said anxiously, "Something's not right. Let's retreat. Naruto Uzumaki was seriously injured just now, but he's fully recovered."

"And what's more, it seems the Allied Shinobi Forces have attacked as well! We need to retreat first; it will be very troublesome if we get entangled with a bunch of ninjas."

"Okay," Sasuke replied, but then shoved her away. "After I kill him!"

The purple Chakra flames of Susanoo burned fiercely high in the sky once more, and the two Gundams collided, producing a deafening roar.

The blast wave struck twice, sweeping across the battlefield once more, ignoring all targets.

Boom!

After several clashes, Sasuke Uchiha was clearly at a disadvantage. At this moment, Sasuke did not linger or hesitate, and turned around and left the battlefield.

Naruto cursed the lackluster response and did not continue the pursuit.

His target is Kabuto. Sasuke escaped, but as long as the troublesome person is gone, that's fine. He can run for a while, but he can't run forever. Sooner or later, he'll get Sasuke completely lost.

Black Zetsu was probably secretly gloating, thinking he'd managed to fool so many people all by himself. Naruto just wanted to laugh. Anyone can lie; the key is exploiting information asymmetry.

He happened to have Black Zetsu, so he could fool Nagato completely and also Sasuke Uchiha completely.

In the distance, the sharp-eyed Allied Shinobi Forces spotted Sasuke retreating. Yamashiro Aoba, quick-witted as ever, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"They've retreated! The enemy has retreated!"

Genma Shiranui hesitated for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Retreat! The enemy is retreating! Kill!"

The White Zetsu were completely undisturbed, but the Allied Shinobi Forces trapped among White Zetsu were different. They couldn't see the situation on the battlefield; they could only see two huge phantoms in the distant sky.

At that moment, they heard the enemy shouting that they were retreating. When they looked up, they saw the purple Susanoo flying into the distance. They cheered and their morale soared.

At that moment, they firmly believed in their hearts that they would win this battle!

"Kill them!"

"Kill!"

Sasuke Uchiha was unaware that his retreat was being used by the Allied Shinobi Forces as evidence of a retreat. In reality, he had only retreated two kilometers to the outer perimeter, and was still within the battlefield.

"Kill! Fight your way out!"

Yamashiro Aoba roared like a madman, his Ninja Blade slicing down White Zetsu one after another as easily as slicing vegetables and melons, greatly boosting the morale of his team.

Soldiers don't understand what a battle is, nor do they know how to predict where the turning point is between victory and defeat. They can understand the general's expression.

Genma Shiranui went berserk. In this situation, the only way out was to fight his way out. He tore off a piece of cloth, tied it tightly to his Ninja Blade, and charged forward with all his might.

Everyone went mad, their eyes fixed on the blood-red phantom in the distance. Naruto was completely unaware that he was being watched by tens of thousands of Allied Shinobi Forces. He was still frantically trampling on the White Zetsu, trying to bypass the White Zetsu army to find Kabuto.

He had already decided that he would definitely make that bastard Kabuto look ridiculous and make him live in fear before the new year, so that he wouldn't even dare to leave Konoha.

This isn't over yet; Kabuto must pay the price!

Before joining the battle, Naruto had made it clear to Tenten that he was determined to utterly crush the enemy commander. Now, their general Sasuke Uchiha, has been defeated and fled, leaving only Kabuto.

Genma Shiranui felt like he was going crazy. He kept slashing at the White Zetsu without getting tired. He didn't know how long he had been slashing, but when he looked back, he saw that all around him were densely packed White Zetsu.

They had penetrated far behind enemy lines, and the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters had no idea that their troops had gone so deep. At this point, exhaustion or cowardice would be tantamount to suicide.

Suddenly, all the White Zetsu stopped. Even though it was only for a short time, maybe half a second, they could all feel that the White Zetsu had a distinct pause.

In that instant, Genma Shiranui thought of a possibility, and his back was covered in cold sweat. He had never felt such excitement in all his years of life.

The thought had barely formed when it instantly turned into a tremor.

The Third Shinobi World War? All the missions and life-or-death moments he had experienced, big and small, combined, were nothing compared to today's excitement. He couldn't stop thinking about one thing.

He shouted it out almost uncontrollably!

"The enemy! Commander-in-chief! They've reached the commander-in-chief!"

I didn't have a fever, took the subway at 6 a. m. and rode my bike in the rain at 4 p. m. The King of Hell praised me for my good health.

(Mainly to register the electric scooter in Guangzhou, so that it's more convenient for daily travel and I don't have to make such a long journey.)
