While Ren and Orochimaru were striving to reach the moon, the Shinobi World was also embarking on an unprecedented, massive invasion.

The Land of Earth.

Having arrived at the border several days prior, and after organizing their ranks, the Allied Shinobi Forces roared as they marched into the Land of Earth.

The fact that Commander-in -Jiraiya and unconscious did not affect the Allied Shinobi Forces' operations in the slightest.

Bandits pass by like combs, soldiers pass by like hairpins.

This is only a description of the world without supernatural powers in Ren's previous life, under the actions of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Starting from the location of the command headquarters, the various ninja villages systematically and purposefully eroded everything in the Land of Earth.

It was like an ever-growing razor, fiercely scraping across the Land of Earth.

Anything of value was completely wiped out.

Many nobles, stripped of all their possessions, tied their last remaining clothes together to form a rope and hanged themselves from trees outside.

Why not hang yourself from a beam?

It's true that the Kumogakure is full of bandits, but does that mean all the ninja from the other ninja villages are good people?

You think they'll even leave you a roof beam? You're dreaming!

Even if they couldn't take it with them, they would burn it all down. Faced with an utterly invincible weakling, and having gained the banner of justice, they were ready to fight.

The ninjas fully demonstrated all the malice that exists in human nature.

The only exception was the areas where Konoha passed through.

The Konoha Ninja genuinely believed they had come to save the Land of Earth, but instead executed the nobles who were labeled as war fanatics, without taking their wealth with them.

Even the ninjas from Amegakure who weren't initially very interested all automatically awakened their powers after arriving in this land where they could do whatever they wanted.

Nagato simply watched everything quietly, making no attempt to stop the Hidden Rain Village ninja.

What intrigued Nagato was the change that had occurred to the Hidden Rain Village, even though they looked exactly the same as before.

But Nagato could sense that they had changed; they had become another kind of being.

Even the weeping people of the Land of Earth became subjects of Nagato's observation, and the eyes of some of them became all too familiar to Nagato.

It was only much later that Nagato realized that it was her own gaze, the gaze of someone who believed they had transcended humanity and become a god.

Having observed everything, Nagato drew a superficial conclusion.

War changes humanity, turning it into a completely different species, regardless of which side is on the other side.

Nagato's observations continue, just as they have with the Land of Earth.

Iwagakure had long been prepared for war, even though the Shinobi Alliance's announcement had only been issued recently.

However, a long time ago, Iwagakure lost contact with their Tsuchikage and their troops.

It was as if everyone who went to Konoha had vanished.

Despite lacking intelligence, Iwagakure) still reacted and went on high alert.

When the Iwagakure heard the joint announcement from the Shinobi Alliance, they were dumbfounded.

The ninjas split into three factions.

One faction believes that all of this is a conspiracy by the Shinobi World against Iwagakure must fight to the end, even if it means Jade Shatter.

One faction believes that Iwagakure was already a mere shell of its former self under the attack of all the ninja villages in the Shinobi World. Rather than fighting to the death, it would be better to surrender, since even if the village is gone, the people will still be alive.

One faction believes they should evacuate immediately, flee overseas, and establish a new Iwagakure in the vast ocean.

In summary, they were divided into three factions: those who fought to the death, those who surrendered, and those who fled.

Each of the three parties had its own reasons, and none of them could convince the other, leading to an endless wrangling.

Ultimately, before the Allied Shinobi Forces arrived, Iwagakure split into three smaller villages, which even fought each other over ninjas.

This is the tragedy of having no successor. Once Ōnoki was captured, there was no one left who could step forward to take charge and win everyone's respect.

Of the three factions, the surrender faction was the strongest, since the Shinobi Alliance ultimately operated under the banner of justice.

It will only target war fanatics in Iwagakure who are trying to disrupt the peace, while the majority of those who are coerced will not be harmed if they give up resistance and accept the control of the Shinobi Alliance.

As for how to distinguish whether someone is a war fanatic, that's quite simple.

Those who, instead of obediently surrendering and accepting control of the Allied Shinobi Forces, still think of retaliating are simply warmongers.

Our Allied Shinobi Forces are here to save the Land of Earth and the Iwagakure. The reason we have such a large number of ninja troops is not for war, but simply to protect ourselves.

Therefore, the surrender faction had the largest number of members. However, as time went on, more and more Iwagakure Ninja left the surrender faction and joined the other two factions.

The actions of the Allied Shinobi Forces within the Land of Earth have already reached Iwagakure.

They were almost utterly ruthless, committing arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of atroc

The reason I say "almost" is that the Allied Shinobi Forces didn't kill many people; in fact, they killed surprisingly few.

Perverts exist everywhere, but they are ultimately a minority.

They mostly looted anything of value; if they couldn't take anything with them and didn't want to benefit their allies, they burned it all.

Ordinary people, faced with an army of ninjas, would hardly dare to offer any resistance and could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded.

Ninjas have a natural arrogance towards ordinary people, and when ordinary people are as honest as chicks, they don't even think about killing them.

However, the ninjas did not make a move; many of these people chose to end their own lives.

Not only nobles, but even commoners, faced with the empty land, were left with nothing but despair.

People will starve to death if they don't eat. It's a very simple principle. If you don't have a single grain of food, that's one thing, but if everyone around you doesn't have a single grain of food either.

Many people who have experienced the fear of hunger choose to go to the Pure Land while they still have some food in their stomachs, so as not to face that fear again.
