Subsequently, the Ten Thousand Mile Earth Flow Wall created by Shiyu slowly sank into the earth, returning to its original state, Shiyu dispelled his spell.

Shiyu also came to Tsunade's side, which meant he had given up on blocking Iwagakure.

Konoha only intended to repel Iwagakure and had no intention of pursuing them further, as that would be too dangerous.

Having tasted defeat, Iwagakure immediately retreated like a receding tide.

"We've stopped the Iwagakure invasion. How are you?" Tsunade asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Shiyu shook his head. He first fought against the Iwagakure Explosion Release, then fought against the two Kekkei Genkai of Roshi and Han, fought against the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails, as well as a melee unit captain, and finally fought against the Tsuchikage, pushing the Tsuchikage to the brink of despair. No matter how much chakra he had, he had used it all up.

"It was almost Shiyu who laid the foundation for our victory. What a terrifying guy," Choza Akimichi exclaimed.

"Just like Minato, he can fight a thousand-strong army all by himself? That's really impressive!" Inoichi Yamanaka exclaimed.

Shikaku shook his head and said, "Shiyu is different from Minato. Minato cut off the enemy's supply lines and then launched a frontal attack on the enemy, while Shiyu directly participated in the main battlefield and defeated the enemy's aces one by one. They each have their own highlights."

"It seems that both Shiyu and Minato will make a name for themselves in this battle," Hizashi and the others believed.

Shiyu then felt a wave of weakness wash over her.

"Ōnoki led Iwagakure to retreat this time, but his main strength was not greatly lost. In order to prevent him from making a comeback, we still need to deploy a large number of troops," Shiyu reminded.

"Understood." Tsunade nodded and said, "I will remain on the front lines. Some of the remaining Iwagakure soldiers who didn't have time to evacuate with the Tsuchikage probably won't obey his orders and could still pose a threat to us. The war may continue for some time."

"Leave this to us, Shiyu. You've already been through two major battles, you must be exhausted. You need to go back and rest immediately," Tsunade insisted.

"I'm fine." Shiyu shook his head. His chakra recovery speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. As long as he didn't use it continuously, he could recover quickly.

"Yes, Mr. Shiyu, you should go back now."

Everyone knew about Shiyu and Team Seven's hard work and abilities, which is why they hoped they could return to Konoha to rest and recuperate; otherwise, working non-stop like this could easily cause problems.

Shiyu initially wanted to refuse, but with Tsunade's insistence and the persuasion of the others, Shiyu eventually joined the members of Team Seven and headed towards Konoha Ninja Village.

"The two major battlefields of Sunagakure and Iwagakure have been settled, but Kumogakure is still at war with Sunagakure. Konoha, on the other hand, has fallen into a temporary state of peace." Nao told Shiyu the information he had obtained.

"Shiyu, has the Shinobi World War ended?" Kurenai asked.

"Hey, little girl, you underestimate war. This is probably just the beginning," Kakuzu said expressionlessly.

"Perhaps that's true, but overall, the war has calmed down considerably now, and we can take a short rest in Konoha." As Jonin, Hizashi had already gone through two major battles, and his spirit was already somewhat exhausted, let alone Nao and Kurenai.

"We understand what you mean. We'll head back to Konoha right away." Shiyu has had a very fruitful trip. He has absorbed the bloodlines of the One-Tails, Four-Tails, and Five-Tails. With the addition of the Seven-Tails and Nine-Tails, only the Two-Tails, Three-Tails, Six-Tails, and Eight-Tails remain.

The Three-Tails and Six-Tails seem to be Kirigakure, while the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails seem to be Kumogakure.

"It would be even more interesting if we were to engage in battles with the two great ninja villages. What new changes will I undergo after collecting the bloodlines of all Nine Tailed Beasts?"

"Furthermore, did Obito really die, or was he saved by Madara Uchiha?" Shiyu is currently unable to provide an answer.

They encountered nothing unusual along the way, and the five of them headed southeast towards Konoha.

A few days later, the five of them returned to Konoha Ninja Village. Shiyu first sent Kakuzu to handle the bank affairs.

The main streets of Konoha were noticeably more crowded, as the victory at the front lines had brought greater stability to the Konoha.

"This is a victory. What if we had lost?" Shiyu couldn't bear to imagine it.

"Let's go find the Third Hokage and give him a detailed report on the mission," Hizashi suggested.

"Alright." Shiyu nodded and went to the Hokage's office with the members of Team Seven.

The Third Hokage was noticeably more refreshed, and his eyes lit up immediately when he saw Shiyu and the others.

"Shiyu! Hizashi, you're back!"

Tell me about the specific progress of the task.

Immediately afterwards, Hizashi and Shiyu reported the matter to Hiruzen. Of course, regarding the issue of one person killing Kumogakure, Shiyu still attributed it to his own tactics, Orochimaru's bravery, and the cooperation of Team Seven.

"Truly worthy of being a disciple trained by Hizashi!" Hiruzen was also smoking a cigarette at this moment, looking extremely smug.

"They actually managed to defeat Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure simultaneously! They moved between two major battlefields using Surprise Attack Unit and directly defeated Kage Level shinobi?!"

"Shiyu, your strength has reached such a level! You even defeated the Third Tsuchikage? That guy's Dust Release is unparalleled in the world!"

"Making you Jonin was definitely the right decision!" Hiruzen also Shiyu Shigure with praise.

However, Shiyu shook his head; his attention was not on that at all.

"Old man, how's Minato Namikaze's Team doing? Kakashi? Obito? Rin?" Shiyu immediately asked with concern.

After all, Shisui and Obito were among Shiyu's few close friends from the Uchiha Clan.

"I knew you'd ask them." Hiruzen sighed. "Obito died in the Battle of Kannabi, which greatly affected Kakashi and caused some changes in his personality. Rin was naturally devastated. As for Minato Minato... I've reassigned him to another mission."

Shiyu questioned, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"It's a 50/50 split. We all regret Obito's death, but Minato didn't fulfill his mission as Konoha Ninja. Please forgive me, and forgive Minato as well," Hiruzen said heavily.

Shiyu initially thought the Third Hokage was a bit heartless, since Minato's disciples had all died, yet he still wanted Minato to carry out the mission. But then he thought that perhaps the Third Hokage was thinking of Minato's feelings, and also to take care of Kakashi and the others' feelings.

"Never mind, you're the Hokage, you have your difficulties." Shiyu he heard the Third Hokage's voice.

"This afternoon, a funeral will be held to commemorate the war heroes at the Konoha Memorial Stone."
