Taken as Forced Labor

Zabuza his Kubikiribōchō and laughed wildly. Wherever the blade passed, at least one ninja would fall dead.

Meanwhile, Yuki Haku followed closely behind him, unleashing Thousand Needles of Death. The two worked in perfect harmony, killing nearly a hundred people in the blink of an eye.

The Dong Shiren's head was throbbing with pain. Why, why are the ninjas in this world so powerful? Compared to them, his army was like puppets being mowed down, easily killed.

His subordinates swallowed hard. The planned combined Ninjutsu was now restricted, and even the nearly one hundred members of the ambush squad were easily killed.

Under these circumstances, is it really suitable to fight again? He turned his gaze to the face of the Dong Shiren the Dong Shiren's headache had just begun to subside when he heard the messenger shout, "It's terrible! It's terrible! Commander, that iron lump has advanced another thousand meters! Our side has suffered countless casualties!"

Dong Shiren frowned. He looked into the distance and saw heavy tanks and armored vehicles weaving through the crowd, crushing large numbers of ninjas into mincemeat wherever they went.

Even tanks could turn their cannons around and fire a single shot, the shell exploding in the distance, sending another group of people flying in blood and gore. Armored vehicles, with two machine guns firing alternately, were faster than tanks, so in terms of crushing people, armored vehicles were no less effective than tanks.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile stretched almost to his ears. These weapons were simply invincible; apart from a few freaks, very few ninjas could destroy them, yet they could indiscriminately annihilate enemies.

"M-Sir, should we continue fighting?" Dong Shiren's subordinate asked in a trembling voice, looking at Dong Shiren with fear in his eyes.

The Dong Shiren remained silent. To be honest, at this point, his legions were probably already terrified by Konoha. Regardless of their combat strength, they were likely struggling to survive.

After witnessing that over 200,000 of his 400,000 ninja troops had been annihilated by armored and tank units, he ordered everyone to immediately regroup and prepare for a retreat.

Although the battlefield was in chaos, the legion led by Dong Shiren immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the words "retreat."

Those ninjas who maintained the combined wind and fire Ninjutsu seemed to have found salvation. They immediately withdrew and retreated. The Konoha ninjas were taken aback, but did not pursue them. Instead, they looked at Uchiha Kō in the center of the battlefield.

No one would dare to send troops without the order from Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō sneered at the pillar of fire before him, deciding he wasn't going to play along! "Eight Inner Gates: Gate of Death Opens!" Immediately, crimson steam surged forth, and with a single punch, a massive air cannon shattered the pillar of fire, sending it hurtling towards the mountain range where the caster was located!

The caster didn't even have time to run before he was blasted to an explosion by the air cannon, and the mountain range collapsed in the way of the retreating Dong Shiren Legion because of this punch!

Boom! The mountain range snapped and crashed towards Dong Shiren and his legion. Dong Shiren frowned and looked up, feeling as if the sky had collapsed!

For a moment, he didn't react and stood there swallowing hard.

"Sir, let's go!" His loyal subordinate gritted his teeth and shoved Dong Shiren Dong Shiren away with tremendous force.

"No!" Dong Shiren reacted, looking at his subordinate, whose lips curled into a smile, "Sayonara, Dong Shiren Sama."

The mountain range completely collapsed, crushing his subordinates and most of the others to death, their blood flowing continuously.

The Dong Shiren spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the mountains in front of him with a desolate expression. His most loyal subordinate was dead, and the army had not followed, all of them blocked by the mountains.

Reaching the other side of the mountain, only he remained. The Dong Shiren felt an endless desolation. 500,000 people, a full 500,000, now either dead or wounded. The enemy's sacrifices were practically nonexistent.

He couldn't understand how he had lost so badly. What was wrong with this world? Why was it so chaotic?

Uchiha Kō and the others leisurely caught up. One of them, seeing Uchiha Kō's strength, ran incredibly fast and exclaimed, "Brothers, this... this is the Lord Hokage of this world!"

"That mountain was just Lord Hokage's punch, which caused this result."

"Brothers, a wise man submits to circumstances; look at that iron lump behind him!"

"Our retreat is now blocked, and their strongest Hokage and Iron Man are already close behind. Do we have any other choice but to surrender?"

For a moment, the Dong Shiren Legion fell silent, their morale utterly demoralized. The senior officers remained silent, finally nodding to the peace-loving officers among them.

The peace-loving officer was taken aback, then gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. The other high-ranking war-loving officers smiled, then took out Kunai and slit their own throats.

His body then went limp and collapsed to the ground. The pro-peace officer looked at Uchiha Kō, knelt on one knee, and said, "Lord Hokage, we are willing to surrender!"

Uchiha Kō looked at him and sighed, "Get up, calm the crowd down, and then I'll find a way to get you back to your world."

"Yes." The peace-loving officer bowed his head and remained silent.

The matter was then handed over to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, who readily agreed and assured him they would handle it well.

Uchiha Kō nodded, leaped across the mountain, and went to capture the Dong Shiren.

Dong Shiren sat there, his eyes devoid of light. He had been defeated. The genius commander, hailed as a war prodigy since childhood and the master of the mass production strategy during the Third Shinobi World War, had been utterly humiliated in this battle.

The 500,000 ninjas were reduced to only 100,000, who would likely be eliminated by Uchiha Kō, either by surrendering or dying in battle. The real culprit was himself, and he had no one else to blame.

Dong Shiren, but now his will to die was rekindled. Just as he took out Kunai commit suicide, Uchiha Kō stretched out his right hand. "Banshō Ten'in!"

He aimed his hand at the dagger and released a powerful suction force, instantly pulling the dagger away.

This stunned the Dong Shiren. Who was it?!

He looked up at Uchiha Kō, his pupils contracting – it was him!

Dong Shiren gritted his teeth. "Did you come here to laugh at me?" Dong Shiren's expression was ugly, and his eyes were filled with resentment, hatred, and... fear, or rather, utter disarray.

He could accept death if he lost a battle, but he absolutely could not accept being humiliated by the victors.

Uchiha Kō didn't speak, but instead descended from the sky and stood in front of him. Dong Shiren gritted his teeth, pulled out Kunai, and stabbed at Uchiha Kō. As a result Uchiha Kō released Susanoo.

The golden Susanoo skeleton provided all-around protection for Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō coldly watched this scene as the Dong Shiren Kunai, and his pupils contracted.

"Kunai- sashi Susanoo, you are also a talent. Such a talent has not appeared for twenty or thirty years." Uchiha Kō glanced at Dong Shiren.

"Susanoo, Susanoo?" He remembered that the Second Tsuchikage and Third Tsuchikage had said that the Uchiha Clan possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and once awakened, they would instantly gain world-destroying power.

"What? You're thinking of suicide after losing a battle? You think you're worthy of being called a genius commander of Iwagakure?" Uchiha Kō said calmly.

"What else do you want? Do you want to kill me? Come on!" Dong Shiren couldn't stand Uchiha Kō's condescending tone. The next second, Uchiha Kō slapped Dong Shiren, sending him flying.

"I was wondering what kind of person the commander-in-chief would be who could make high-ranking pro-war officers commit suicide without hesitation, but now it seems he's nothing special." Uchiha Kō shook his head.

Dong Shiren's expression changed. "A high-ranking officer from the pro-war faction committed suicide?" He shuddered, then tears streamed down his face, and the immense grief caused his straight back to bend over.

In an instant, his face turned ashen, and a feeling of regret filled his heart.

Uchiha Kō looked at him with pity in his eyes. "I don't know why, but you listen to the will of Heavenly Dao so much, bringing 500,000 ninjas to their deaths. In my opinion, this behavior is too foolish."

"Of course, you shouldn't feel wronged. If Konoha's strength were insufficient, you would probably suffer the same fate as us. That's how war is; people will die," Uchiha Kō said calmly.

Dong Shiren sighed and sat down on the ground, "No need to say anything more. Kill me or do whatever you want with me, I only hope you can spare the remaining ninjas, they are innocent."

Uchiha Kō looked at him and said, "I can let them go, but tell me, why are you so obedient to the will of Heavenly Dao? Is it merely because of his strength?"

"It's not just because of his strength, but because he promised that if we defeat you and storm the city, he will unify our village in the Ninja World after this." Dong Shiren looked up at Uchiha Kō's face.

"You should be very familiar with the word 'unification,' right? How tempting is unification for people like us? You, the Lord Hokage unified the Ninja World, surely know this, don't you?" Dong Shiren sneered.

"Unification, huh? So that's how it is. Then you didn't die unjustly." After saying that, Uchiha Kō didn't move his body, Susanoo stretched out a giant golden hand, grabbed the Dong Shiren, and lifted him up.

The Dong Shiren laughed loudly, but the next moment he was crushed by Susanoo and died beyond any hope of survival!

The 100,000 ninjas who witnessed this scene had tears in their eyes, some were expressionless, and some shook their heads and sighed. The officials of the pro-peace faction who were waiting for the surrender looked dejected as they turned around to accept the instructions of Konoha Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō and cooperated in the surrender.

Uchiha Kō threw the corpse of Dong Shiren to the ground, and then used Flying Thunder God to return to the other side.

His appearance sparked fervor among the Konoha Ninja and fear among the Dong Shiren Legion. This was the guy who had shattered a mountain with a single punch and had just killed the Dong Shiren's commander.

What's he doing here? Is he here to kill us? A sense of unease gripped everyone. The pro-peace officer's throat tightened slightly, and he looked at Uchiha Kō: "Lord Hokage, you..."

Uchiha Kō spoke up, "I just came to take a look, what's wrong with that?" His eyes instantly revealed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the ninja trembled, kneeling on the ground. "No, no."

Uchiha Kō sneered, "These people are conscripted into labor, responsible for working every day. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
