With the Cloud Shinobi and Mist Ninja forces collapsing in defeat, Chimera's flames unleashed tremendous destructive power.
This large-scale ninjutsu-type summoned beast had been developed for war from the start. Its ability to mow down cannon fodder was unparalleled, and it was even more adept at hunting down the fleeing Mist Ninja and Cloud Shinobi.
Even though the Mist Ninja and Cloud Shinobi had deliberately scattered their forces and fled in all directions, more than a thousand still perished in the blaze.
By the time the Cloud Shinobi and Mist Ninja fled all the way back to the sea and counted their losses, they discovered that the ninja killed by Chimera's flames accounted for nearly eighty percent of the total casualties.
No one continued pursuing the Mist Ninja and Cloud Shinobi. The fire was gradually spreading throughout Uzushio Village, so rescuing the people came first.
The flames raged on. Once every member of the Uzumaki Clan had been rescued, Hatake Sakumo and the others led everyone away from Uzushio Village. After all, the entire village had become a sea of fire.
"Shanks" also completely went offline amid the chaos. Sarutobi Toru returned to his original appearance and appeared before everyone as a master of the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Well, when he had first contacted the Uzumaki Clan, he had already revealed himself using the Spirit Transformation Technique. Since he had used it among the Sand Shinobi as well, there was no longer any point in keeping that information secret.
After counting heads, the number of Uzumaki Clan members who had died was roughly equal to the number rescued. Yet after this battle, the clan's entire mindset had changed drastically.
After all, the Land of Whirlpools lay isolated overseas. There had been no war since the end of the Warring States
