The War That Ended

During the Nine-Tails' Rampage, none of Konoha's Kage-level existences appeared; only my foolish brother was busy running around.

Hmph! There are no other problems here, I don't believe it.

I'll have to find a way to pull Minato aside later. Becoming a sacrifice for Konoha's clans like this is not a good outcome.

The Kumogakure ninja were approaching Konoha's position. Haku pulled his attention back to the present, not thinking any further. Saving Minato was not a simple matter and required careful planning.

However, the most important thing right now was the battle at hand. He would think more about the Nine-Tails' Rampage when he had time.

Shaking his head, Haku gave up on further thought about the specifics of the Nine-Tails' Rampage.

He instantly opened the third gate and charged at the enemy with a kunai.

Now, Haku could open the Gate of Life, the third gate, without damaging his body, though it would slightly affect his stamina. This could be considered Haku's standard move.

Furthermore, opening the Eight Gates made chakra control more difficult. With the Eight Gates activated, Haku could barely use ninjutsu. He could only fight with kunai or Taijutsu.

Sigh, the efficiency is still a bit low! It would be great if I could use large-scale destructive ninjutsu. It seems the training for the controllable Eight Inner Gates Formation Technique needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Wiping the blood off his kunai, Haku said in a voice only he could hear.

Haku was slaughtering Kumogakure Chunin on the battlefield, not seeking out Jonin. Although he didn't fear fighting Kumogakure Jonin, each battle with one took a considerable amount of time.

As Orochimaru's disciple, Haku understood his position within the village, knew what responsibilities he needed to bear, and was clear about his role on the battlefield.

His main objective now was to kill enough Kumogakure Chunin to force the enemy to retreat and end the war. Additionally, he needed to gain enough energy points from this war with Kumogakure to awaken the System.

[Chakra Origin Energy +1!]

[Chakra Origin Energy +1!]

Haku, who was rampaging through the Chunin ranks, was soon targeted by a Jonin.

[Lightning Release Raikai!]

Seeing the opponent unleash a Lightning Release ninjutsu, wrapping himself in lightning, Haku hoped he would increase his physical abilities and strength to counter Haku's use of kunai.

Haku just stared into the opponent's eyes and smiled silently. Then, to the opponent's shocked gaze, his body began to emit green chakra steam.

He directly grabbed his kunai and plunged it into the opponent's neck, using the speed and strength gained from opening the fifth gate, the Gate of Limit, to finish him off.

Because Haku waited until the opponent was very close before opening the Gate of Limit, the fifth gate, he didn't give the opponent any chance to react.

Moreover, the ferocious Eight Gates chakra directly dispersed the opponent's Lightning Armor, causing no impact on Haku whatsoever.

After Haku swiftly dealt with the Jonin, no other Jonin came to trouble him. One reason was that he ended the fight too quickly, and others were somewhat wary of his strength. Another was that the number of Jonin on both sides was limited; it was one-on-one. The one who just fought him only had the opportunity to seek trouble with Haku after several Special Jonin took over his opponent.

As a result, he failed to cause trouble for Haku and instead brought trouble to his own village, which was a significant loss.

Lord Raikage, we can't hold on much longer!

A Kumogakure ninja shouted to the Third Raikage, who was fighting Orochimaru.

Glancing at the battlefield situation, the Third Raikage grew anxious and alarmed as he saw his village's forces dwindling.

He had fought Orochimaru's forces before, but never had the lower-ranking troops collapsed first like this.

The number of ninja on his side was decreasing too rapidly.

Rabi! Stop playing around! Go take care of that brat!

Hearing the Third Raikage's shout, Killer B surveyed the surroundings and also noticed the problem.

Killer B hesitated no longer. His body began to emit red chakra, preparing to enter the Tailed Beast Cloak form.

Seeing Killer B transform before him, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio seemed to recall something, and their movements slowed down slightly.

Taking advantage of this momentary change in movement, Killer B directly broke free from the trio and charged towards the area where the main ninja forces were fighting.

Killer B? Tailed Beast Cloak? It's over, we're in trouble!

Killer B appeared in Haku's vision, encased in a layer of red chakra.

[Sixth Gate! Gate of View! Open!]

[Seventh Gate! Gate of Wonder! Open!]

BOOM!

Upon seeing Killer B, Haku immediately began forcefully opening the gates, successfully activating the seventh gate, the Gate of Wonder, just before Killer B arrived. The chakra steam outside his body turned from green to red.
