Dozens of miles behind the main reinforcement force, there was another group several thousand strong.
As far as the eye could see, this group consisted entirely of spiky-haired children who had yet to grow up-descendants of the Uchiha Clan, Xia Yu's children.
Three adults led them.
Xia Yu, Orochimaru, and Shizune.
Shizune said, "Honey, where have you been all this time? No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find any news of you."

Shizune froze, looking at Orochimaru in astonishment. "Uh, sister... sister-in-law?"
Orochimaru's attitude was cold. "Don't read into it. I won't acknowledge it. This is just wishful thinking on Xia Yu's part."

A sea of fire appeared, even larger than the sea of trees.
The ultimate contest of strength came down to chakra.
Although the God Tree was powerful, the chakra within Xia Yu's body was now approaching infinity.
If he wanted, even a mere Fire Release: Searing
