What was war, really?
When one side possessed overwhelming strength, it was no longer appropriate to call it a war.
The entire shinobi village was shrouded in darkness. All the Jonin had been dragged into the Kamui Dimension, while the Eight-Headed Serpent had appeared alongside wind and rain. Only then did Hidden Rock Village and the Cloud Hidden Village realize that the situation was far more serious than they had imagined.
The conflict had erupted suddenly and ended just as swiftly.
The two shinobi villages had not even had room to resist before they were utterly defeated.
There was no helping it. Kakashi and Orochimaru's strength had been completely overwhelming.
The two of them could even easily destroy both shinobi villages.
After signing the treaty, Konoha claimed victory in the war.
Neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya had expected it to be so easy.
Then what had all those previous shinobi wars even been for?
What meaning was there in shinobi killing each other?
The treaty and reparations were enough to ensure that Hidden Rock Village and the Cloud Hidden Village would be incapable of starting another war for decades to come.
At the same time, Tsunade and Jiraiya discovered what Orochimaru had been doing. Several small countries had already fallen under his control.
Even Hidden Waterfall Village, one of the strongest small shinobi villages and home to a Jinchūriki, had possessed no ability to resist Sasuke.
With the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and a Sage Body, Sasuke's only problem now was probably that he was too young.
Konoha was currently busy dividing the spoils of victory. Aside from Naruto and Sakura, no one cared that Sasuke had left.
He was the last surviving member of the Uchiha. If he wanted to leave Konoha, what could anyone do about it?
Everyone knew perfectly
