Ninja World War or a Dream Come True

The battle between the Four Kage was tedious and boring, consisting mainly of screams, shouts, and endless recollections.

For example, Hanzo of the Salamander and Jiraiya who supported the Mist Ninja.

During this period, infighting also occurred among those Impure World Reincarnation.

For example, Pakura from Sunagakure and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, were killed after being sold to Kirigakure. The two fought each other, and Pakura was eventually sealed away by Rasa.

There's no way around it; the Impure World Reincarnation dead look lively and energetic, but they're not afraid of the dehydration and burning effects of [Scorch Release], their only fear is being sealed.

To Madara Uchiha's surprise, the White Zetsu and the Ninja were drawn in by the grudges and entanglements of the Impure World Reincarnation beings, and unconsciously entered into gossip mode.

Oh no, it should be called king against king, soldier against soldier.

On all four fronts, White Zetsu stood on one side, and Ninja on the other, silently watching the confrontation between the Impure World Reincarnation individuals and related Ninja in the center.

Combat itself is unpopular; what's most appealing is the hidden details during verbal exchanges, as well as the unspoken loves and hates from their past lives.

In short, the battles at this stage were not wars at all, but rather a large-scale dream-realization event.

For example, Haku encountered the Third Mizukage. The Third Mizukage was overjoyed that the bloodline of the Yuki Clan was still continuing. He let go of his obsession, which even death could not dispel, broke free from the shackles of the Impure World Reincarnation, and ascended to heaven.

Haku fulfilled his wish to be hugged by his bloodline elder, and tears of joy streamed down his face. His tearful appearance instantly captivated countless men in Kirigakure and Konoha.

Momochi Zabuza was not disappointed. Wielding his Kubikiribōchō, he and Mei Terumi worked together to cut down the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Way of the First Shinobi.

Finally, he was covered in blood and could only barely stand by leaning on his broadsword.

But looking at the six tightly sealed rice dumplings, Zabuza laughed maniacally, "The shame of Kirigakure has finally been washed away by me!"

To Hozuki Suigetsu's surprise, he discovered that although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Way were Impure World Reincarnation, four of them actually possessed genuine Ninja Blade.

With the pair he snatched from Chōjūrō, his dream collection progress instantly advanced to 5/7.

Amidst his happiness, Hozuki Suigetsu set his sights on Zabuza. The Kubikiribōchō in the Demon of the Hidden Mist's hand was not only at 6/7 progress, but also the dream sword he had been pursuing.

"As the Fifth Hokage Demon Zabuza said, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential!'"

"Tch, once I can beat you, the Kubikiribōchō will definitely be mine!"

The Fifth Kazekage received the Fourth Kazekage and blocked his reluctant Magnet Style: Gold Dust. The father and son then began a heart-to-heart conversation.

But the father-son conflict wasn't over yet. Yashamaru, the brother-in-law of the Fourth Kazekage and the uncle of the Fifth Kazekage, got involved again, telling Gaara's forehead and the origin of the [Sand Shield].

Gaara, was redeemed. His father and uncle also let go of their burdens; one ascended to heaven, and the other voluntarily was sealed away.

Because the villages weren't as chaotic as Kirigakure and Sunagakure. Although similar things happened in Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the number of incidents was much smaller.

The Impure World Reincarnation Ninja from these two powerful villages had no wishes; they were almost all defeated and then sealed away.

Countless Ninja had their dreams fulfilled at this moment. Even though no one knew who had performed the Impure World Reincarnation, Kabuto Yakushi still became the undisputed master of fulfilling dreams.

However, three unexpected things happened here.

The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, possessed such powerful summoning Genjutsu abilities that even though he didn't want to kill anyone, he was forced to use the Genjutsu [Magic Illusion: Steaming Pavilion] to trap a large number of Mist Ninja within it.

The Second Tsuchikage was extremely skilled in the [Rock Concealment Technique], possessing exceptional stealth abilities. Even without using the Dust Release Secret Technique he developed himself, Ōnoki, along with his son Kitsuchi and the Explosion Corps, could not defeat his teacher.

The Third Raikage was even more formidable; even when he held back, no one could break him, leaving him to roam freely among the Ninja Army.

As time went on, the White Zetsu realized the advantage and, with these three Kage as their support, launched an attack on the Allied Shinobi Forces, breaking the stalemate between the two leaders.

The Allied Shinobi Forces had unknowingly used up their last remaining strength, a change that naturally caught Black Zetsu's attention, who promptly reported it to Nagato and Konan.

Konan, who lacked her own opinions, asked Nagato, "Shall we launch it now?"

Nagato, however, asked, "What's the situation in Sunagakure?"

Black Zetsu replied, "The situation is worst in Sunagakure. The Sky Ninja from Hidden Sky Village are putting in effort but not contributing. The more samurai from the Land of Iron there are, the worse they perform. Their morale is almost collapsing from being killed by the Sunagakure Ninja."

Nagato exclaimed in astonishment, "The situation is actually this bad? Didn't the Hidden Sky Village say there was a monster called ' Zero-Tails '?"

Black Zetsu replied, "Shinnō probably feels he has suffered too great a loss and wants to use Zero-Tails as a trump card, refusing to use this monster."

Nagato roared, "That damned bastard! He won't even lend a hand now. Does he think Hidden Sky Village will survive after our Akatsuki fails?"

Konan also found it hard to understand. "Didn't he see the threat posed by the Konoha Airship? That would directly destroy the very foundation of the Liao Kong Ninja's existence, and the Sky Ninja are now the main target of the Konoha Airship's attack. Why wasn't he fighting desperately?"

Nagato and Konan sulked for a while, but in the end Nagato gave the order, "Konan, send out the symbol Madara Uchiha gave you, and let the White Zetsu make its move."

"As long as we repel the enemies on three fronts, and then have Madara Uchiha hold off the Konoha's front, I don't believe the Sunagakure Ninja will still be willing to fight to the death."

Just as Konan gave the signal, and the Allied Shinobi Forces had adapted to and withstood the White Zetsu's attack, a large number of assassination attempts suddenly broke out in the rear and within the ranks.

Just moments ago they were close comrades-in-arms, fighting side by side, and he not only killed a White Zetsu with his own hands but also risked his life to protect her.

The next second, his comrade picked up Ninja Blade or Kunai and stabbed himself in the back or kidneys.

Despite the urgent notification that White Zetsu would perfectly transform, almost all the Ninja mistakenly thought it was just a trick like the [Transformation Technique] and didn't take it seriously.

Despite repeated reminders, the Ninja, due to their experience, still overlooked the danger.

Unfortunately, humans cannot predict the danger level of things they have never seen before, and they have an inexplicable confidence in their own experience.

The result was a bloody mess within the Allied Shinobi Forces, while a large number of White Zetsu took the opportunity to shout, "So-and-so Sneak Attack me! Everyone be careful, he's White Zetsu in disguise!"

It wasn't just White Zetsu shouting; ordinary Ninja were shouting too, and the Allied Shinobi Forces were in complete chaos.

The White Zetsu army immediately seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and sent out a large number of White Zetsu to further infiltrate and disguise themselves.

This time, not only were dead Ninja faked, but even healthy Ninja were faked, and they injured themselves to point at the person being imitated and falsely accuse him of being White Zetsu.

The most disgusting thing in the world is when the thief cries "stop thief!" When combined with the human psychology that whoever is injured is right, a large number of Ninja are instantly left speechless and unable to defend themselves.

If a falsely accused Ninja is accompanied by an impulsive Ninja, he will suffer a miserable death at the hands of his own people in the next moment.

Once they discover they've killed the wrong person, the new White Zetsu will continue to frame the impulsive Ninja as White Zetsu in disguise.

This is even more terrifying than the previous false accusation, since this guy actually killed Ninja, making him extremely suspicious.

Under the assassination attempts, instigation, and framing by White Zetsu, the Ninja turned on each other due to misunderstandings, and dared not trust their comrades when they were out of the game.

When trust among Ninja collapses, the Ninja Army's organization crumbles, and its combat power drops to zero.

As the White Zetsu army charged into the Ninja ranks, the deathly pale White Zetsu could no longer be seen. All the Ninja knew that the White Zetsu had transformed into Ninja.

An unprecedented crisis of trust erupted, and everyone was caught in the chaos.

It wasn't just the Ninja killing each other; because the White Zetsu transformation was so realistic and thorough, even the White Zetsu themselves started killing each other.

What appeared to be two Ninja fighting each other to the death turned into two pale White Zetsu, which then transformed into two large trees.

As the chaotic battle progressed, the battlefield was increasingly covered by large trees, and the battlefield environment gradually transformed into Forest. The familiar battlefield environment slowed down the pace of the battle, and the frequency of deaths decreased rapidly.

In the central Stone Forest battlefield, Madara Uchiha stood atop a stone pillar at the edge of the Stone Forest, watching the neatly arranged Konoha Ninja approach and deploy their battle formation.

The Konoha Ninja were highly trained, and their formation changes were so fast that even Madara Uchiha was greatly surprised.

His hawk-like gaze swept over the agile Konoha Ninja, identifying their identities: Nara Clan,...

Yamanaka Clan, Akimichi Clan, Aburame Clan, Inuzuka Clan, Uchiha and Hyūga, and thoroughly Civilian Ninja.

What surprised Madara Uchiha the most was that he saw at least 100 Hyuga with smooth foreheads, ponytails, and Forehead Protector around their Hyūga.

Madara was greatly puzzled: When did the Hyuga Clan have so many Main Family?

A few seconds later, his question turned to: Are all the Hyuga Branch Family dead?

But that was a minor matter. What truly shocked Madara Uchiha was the Uchiha. They, they all displayed a second Kekkei Genkai, and there were even some freaks who possessed three at the same time.

Madara Uchiha's head was buzzing; he couldn't understand whether his memory was faulty or if something was wrong with the Ninja World.

He then discovered that half of the Konoha Ninja in front of him possessed Kekkei Genkai, a terrifyingly high proportion.

Madara Uchiha thus forgot his prepared battle plan and did not launch an attack on the Konoha Ninja. Instead, he stood quietly on top of the stone pillar, allowing the Konoha Ninja to take pictures of him.

Madara Uchiha gazed at the Ninja Army before him, lost in memories, his deep eyes looking into the distance.

He thought of his beloved Hashirama and murmured, "Hashirama must be very satisfied. Your successor, the Fifth Hokage, is truly a perfect Hokage, more to my liking than you."

"If Shazo had appeared before I left Konoha, I probably wouldn't have left Konoha."

"Hashirama, Hashirama, you brought an end to the Sengoku period, but your ideals were ultimately wrong."

"After you died, the brief period of peace came to a complete end. Even during the lulls in the Ninja World War, true peace was never achieved. The Ninja World remained in constant turmoil, and small countries lived in constant fear."

"True peace only returned to the Ninja World Ninja World the Fifth Hokage swept across it."

"I acknowledge the Fifth Hokage's talent; without the Akatsuki's actions, the true peace he created might have lasted for 30 years."

Years, even 40 years.

"But so what? He will eventually die, and war will eventually break out again. This brief peace is just a false peace."

"In the end, Hashirama, you underestimated the desires of the human heart. I am different—this time, I will change the Ninja World. When the Infinite Tsukuyomi descends, peace will no longer be a pipe dream."

"Since true peace is about to arrive, the Ninja World will no longer need Ninja like the Fifth Hokage, or even Konoha. Therefore, killing Konoha Ninja is an inevitable price to pay."

Madara Uchiha's gaze grew sharper and sharper, and his killing intent gradually intensified, so much so that even from several kilometers away, the Konoha Ninja could sense it.

Shisui Uchiha stepped forward and said to Kakashi Hatake, "Senpai, you watch the group. I'm going to meet our former Clan Leader."

Uchiha Izumi also stepped forward, and said with a smile, "I'll go too."

"Since it's a meeting with the former Clan Leader of my Uchiha Clan, how can I, the current Clan Leader, not go?"

Shisui looked at Izumi with concern. "Clan Leader, this is too dangerous."

Uchiha Izumi raised her right hand and extended her index finger. Instantly, a golden, gleaming bone appeared, a finger bone formed from the condensation of Chakra and the power of her Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake exclaimed simultaneously, "Susanoo!"

Uchiha Izumi smiled and nodded, then asked, "Can I go now?"

Shisui and Kakashi exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "Of course."

So, Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Izumi walked side by side forward, quickly advancing towards the location of Madara Uchiha, and soon arrived at a point about a hundred meters in front of the first stone pillar.

At such close range, Madara Uchiha eyesight, naturally recognized the features of the two Uchiha.

He didn't speak, but suddenly opened his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the terrifying power of his eyes transformed into a storm, rushing towards Shisui and Izumi.

Neither of them expected Madara Uchiha's attack to be so violent, but they did not retreat even a step. Instead, they simultaneously opened their Mangekyō Sharingan and used their eye power to retaliate.

The eye power based on Yin Release Chakra was originally an intangible and formless existence, but under the intense conflict between the two sides, it suddenly manifested out of thin air, with blue, green and gold arcs of electricity appearing.

What appears to be an arc of electricity is actually an extremely concentrated form of Yin Release Chakra. An ordinary person who takes a single glance will be instantly trapped in an Eternity Genjutsu.

Even among the Konoha Ninja several kilometers away, some unfortunate individuals were caught in the Bad Luck.

Fortunately, there were many Hyūga and Uchiha Ninja Ninja the Standing Army. They quickly woke up their comrades who were trapped in the Genjutsu and reminded everyone to be careful of Genjutsu defense.
