The final battle concerned the fate of the entire world, determining whether many people would be able to continue living.
At this critical moment between life and death, all kinds of hidden conflicts began to surface with increasing frequency.
Those surrendering or fleeing continued to increase.
The Immortal Empire's power was simply too terrifying. The disappearance of the Tailed Beasts from the various villages was obviously the work of the Immortal Empire.
With the death of the Three-Tails, that meant eight Tailed Beasts were now in the hands of the Immortal Empire.
The only thing the Raikage and the others could not figure out was why the Immortal Empire had yet to send the Tailed Beasts onto the battlefield.
The forces hidden in the shadows had not been deployed, and the Immortal Empire's master, Uchiha Kyu, had not made a move either.
This also meant that the Immortal Empire might believe it could determine the outcome of the battlefield without needing to do so.
It was a sign of contempt for them, as well as the gap in strength.
In terms of mid- and low-level forces, the Allied Forces were not inferior to the Immortal Empire at all. In fact, their numbers far exceeded those of the Immortal Empire's ninjas.
But...
In this world, it was high-level strength that held the key to victory.
The Immortal Empire simply had too many powerful warriors. The various shinobi villages could not produce enough powerful warriors to deal with them, let alone the samurai under the daimyō.
The ninjas under the daimyō were basically all disposable soldiers. They had no chance of becoming powerful warriors in terms of potential. Even the strongest disposable soldier could only reach the level of an Elite Jonin. To become a true powerhouse, one needed independent thought.
