The Fourth Shinobi World War Ends

Kaguya Otsutsuki is dead; she wasn't sealed away, but was actually killed by Kazan.

The Sage of Six Paths was filled with mixed emotions, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is dispelled, the Fourth Shinobi World War will be over."

Not only Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei grant Kazan Sage of Six Paths Technique for the Six Paths Infinite Tsukuyomi.

On this trip, the Sage of Six Paths brought back more than ten of the Five Kage. Now, he will bring their souls back to the Pure Land.

On the other side.

Madara Uchiha's life came to an end once again. The Ten-Tails was extracted from his body by Kaguya, and he was already nearing the end.

A chilly wind blows; this place is desolate, Mountain Graveyard.

A gust of wind blew, and a mournful echo reverberated through the valley.

Ban's eyes blurred, his lips withered, and he collapsed weakly to the ground, staring at the sky.

"Madara." Hashirama Senju walked over and squatted down beside him.

"Hashirama?" Madara said, his voice fragile, a hint of sadness in his voice. "You, and I, are the same—we both yearn for something we cannot have."

"It can't be that easy," Hashirama Senju sighed silently. "We can only do so much in our lifetime, which is why we must entrust our responsibilities to others."

"Neither Ninjutsu nor villages ever existed from the beginning; they require generations of effort and cultivation to flourish."

For a moment, the two felt as if they had returned to the past, to a time when they could freely discuss their ideals.

However, they had all died once and experienced many things.

"You're still so naive." Ban chuckled, his voice growing increasingly fragile. "My dream has been shattered, but yours continues."

At this point, he turned his head shakily, as if he had used up all his strength, and it was very difficult.

His gaze fell upon Kazan, the continuation of Hashirama's dream. Konoha had waited decades for such a person to emerge, but finally, he had appeared.

As for the others in Konoha, they're not worth mentioning!

Kazan sensed something, turned around, walked step by step to Madara, and squatted down as well.

Madara looked at him and asked, "What about Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

"It's been deactivated," Kazan whispered.

"Is that so?" Madara turned his head back, and he could still vaguely see the moon's original shape. Then he asked, "What will the Future of this world be like?"

"Who knows? There's a high probability that war will break out again for some reason. Humans are destined to be unable to understand each other. Even if we form Allied Shinobi Forces today and fight side by side, it won't be long before we're facing each other on the battlefield again."

Kazan spoke softly; he didn't say anything about the world definitely getting better.

"However, with the development of our society and the advancement of technology, when we are able to create resources to satisfy the entire Shinobi World, perhaps on that day, people will be willing to put down their Kunai and Shuriken."

"After all, compared to thousands or hundreds of years ago, our society has progressed so much. I will live until that day, and the world will not descend into chaos."

Ban was stunned by what he heard, but he still couldn't imagine that real world without conflict.

His heart had long been torn apart piece by piece by the cruel reality.

However, he failed, becoming a pawn of Black Zetsu, nearly destroying the world and becoming a sinner for all time.

Therefore, at this moment, he can do nothing but believe, and he has no right to do anything else.

"Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it."

That day will come.

Kazan spoke, simultaneously attracting the attention of both Madara and Hashirama.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki is dead, but the Ōtsutsuki Clan behind her still exists. Future knows when, they will surely travel through interstellar space and return to Earth."

"Then, let's fight side by side."

A gentle breeze blew, and suddenly some other sounds came from this wasteland.

The Allied Shinobi Forces awoke from the world of Genjutsu, and upon learning that the war was over, they embraced each other with tears in their eyes.

Although they didn't do much in this First Shinobi World War, it started with Hashirama Senju shouting that the power of the Tailed Beast was too dangerous while sending all the Tailed Beast flying.

Next up is Kazan, who descends upon the battlefield on a golden path to slay enemies.

From beginning to end, all they needed to do was stay alive, avoid being caught by the God Tree God Tree, and... be careful not to get their lives caught in the "fist" of the Allied Commander-in-Chief -Chief.

Thinking about it this way, people inexplicably felt that it would be better to fight the White Zetsu army to the death, at least they could put up a fight!

Ban listened, watched, and finally loosened his clenched fist.

Then... let's be naive one more time.

"Take my corpse away, Kazan. Then, Impure World Reincarnation when necessary!"

He looks forward to the day Kazan spoke of, and wants to do his part to achieve it.

Then, Madara stopped breathing completely, his heart stopped beating, and the great hero, the Asura of the Shinobi World, died once again.

"Spot..."

Hashirama Senju called softly, then stroked Madara's face with his hand, closing Madara's eyes.

Then, a dazzling light emanated from his body, and his soul began to leave his Impure World Reincarnation body, wanting to drink and talk about ideals with Ban in the Pure Land.

Whoosh~

A soft White Light shot straight into the sky, leaving only the words, "From now on, I entrust the village to you, Kazan!"

The war ended, Hashirama Senju's soul returned to the Pure Land once more.

Seeing Tobirama Senju turned and glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was not from this era; he had been dead for many years. His former comrades and relatives were no longer with him; only a few students, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, remained.

"Monkey, Fourth Hokage Kazan, I'm counting on you guys. He's an outstanding Shadow, but sometimes he needs someone to remind him."

His soul began to leave his body, and in the end, what he couldn't let go of was still Konoha.

Kazan, the greatest discovery after Tobirama Senju's Impure World Reincarnation, is a being with qualities that inspire people to willingly follow him.

Just like his Big Brother, Kazan was destined for greatness and would be Hero in Konoha's history, but as a leader, he was inadequate.

He had his Big Brother by his side back then, but now even Kazan needs help from others.

"I will, Teacher!" Hiruzen Sarutobi emphatically, dedicating the rest of his life to serving Konoha.

"Aren't you going to see Lady Tsunade?" Minato Namikaze said, mentioning Tsunade. This parting might not be the last time they would see each other.

"I've already said everything I needed to say to Tsuna during this time." Tobirama Senju certainly had things to say to his granddaughter.

However, he is already dead, while Tsunade is still alive; there's no need to add to the sadness.

"Well then, the time has come. I must dispel the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

The Sage of Six Paths also planned to return, and in the very end, his gaze turned to the Nine Tailed Beasts.

The Tailed Beast, once regarded as calamities, now sit on the ground like obedient children, listening to the teachings of the Sage of Six Paths.

The Nine-Tails was no exception; it emerged from Kazan's body and stood before the Sage of Six Paths.

"Old Man..."

"I'm relieved to see that you're all doing well."

He glanced at the Nine Tailed Beasts, spoke to each of them and bid them farewell, and then led the Five Kage of all generations back to the Pure Land.

Almost simultaneously, souls rose into the air from all corners of the battlefield, and beams of soft light illuminated the battlefield.

The atmosphere became somewhat somber as some people raced against time to say their final goodbyes.

The Fourth Raikage, a strong man, now had tears in his eyes as he watched his father's soul ascend to heaven.
