Ōnoki led the tens of thousands of fleeing ninjas straight towards the capital of the Land of Earth. However, they did not expect that someone was already waiting for them on the only road outside the capital.
Wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, Tian Uguisu strode through the rolling sand and gravel, her steps steady and resolute, as if each step were on the beat of destiny. Bai Jiu, an enormous eight-headed serpent, followed in her footsteps, its massive body blocking the path of the Iwa ninja. The mist spewed from its eight heads dyed the sky an eerie bluish-gray, as if foreshadowing an impending disaster.
"Damn Konoha Ninja, die!" Ōnoki hovered in the air, his hands rapidly Hand Seals, his voice filled with anger and unwavering determination. As he completed the Hand Seals, a powerful Chakra erupted from his body, instantly forming a massive cubic space— Dust Release Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique! Wherever it passed, rocks turned to dust, and the earth was torn apart with deep fissures, as if the entire world trembled before his power.
Tian Uguisu's pupils suddenly contracted; she knew the terror of this technique. However, she did not back down, but reacted quickly instead. The Earth Spirit Set instantly unfolded, forming a pale golden defensive barrier in front of her. The barrier groaned under the attack of Dust Release, as if it would be torn apart at any moment. However, Tian Uguisu's hands gripped the Earth Spirit Divine Spear tightly, her gaze as sharp as a blade, staring directly at Ōnoki.
"You think this is all I've got?" Tian Uguisu's voice was deep and powerful, like a whisper from Hell. Her figure suddenly vanished from her spot, and the next second, she appeared above Ōnoki's head. The Earth Spirit Divine Spear pierced down with a shrill whistling sound that Sky Splitter, its tip gleaming with a cold light, like the scythe of Death God, aimed directly at Ōnoki's heart.
Ōnoki hastily conjured an earthen wall in an attempt to block the fatal blow. However, the power of the Earth Spirit Divine Spear far exceeded his expectations; the spear tip easily pierced through the earthen wall and thrust straight into his chest. The Tsuchikage suddenly retreated, only to collide with the Orochi Bai Jiu suddenly swung out. The force of that snake tail was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting Ōnoki was thrown into the rocky mountain like a cannonball, dust flying and rocks scattering everywhere.
"It's over!" Tian Uguisu leaped into the sky, her figure appearing exceptionally tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. Her eyes shone with the light of the Mangekyō Sharingan, those eerie eyes seemingly able to see through everything. As Ōnoki climbed out of the ruins, the moment he met those eyes, the space beneath his feet suddenly distorted, and he was plunged into a bizarre illusion.
When he regained consciousness, the Earth Spirit Divine Spear had already pierced through his chest. Ōnoki stared incredulously at the spear tip in his chest, his voice filled with shock and resentment. "Impossible... I was..."
Tian Uguisu sneered, her voice as cold as ice. "You are nothing but the dregs of an era." She tossed the corpse towards the ninja below, the body arcing tragically through the air before landing in front of the Iwa ninja. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the earth and the terrified faces of the Iwa ninja.
"Anyone else want to try? Surrender and you won't be killed!" Tian Uguisu's voice echoed across the battlefield, like the pronouncement of Death God. Bai Jiu's eight snake heads suddenly rose simultaneously, their scarlet vertical pupils reflecting the setting sun, the sound of scales rubbing together like tens of thousands of steel blades scraping against a rock wall. Poisonous mist spewed from between its fangs, instantly turning vegetation into black water wherever it passed, and filling the air with a pungent smell.
"All-out attack!" The alarm ripped through the sky as hundreds of Iwa ninja convulsed and collapsed in the poisonous fog, their skin festering visibly. Amidst the screams of the crowd, Tian Uguisu's figure appeared above the Iwa ninja like a ghost. As the first wave of Iwa ninja Hand Seals hand seals to activate Earth Release, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, her single-handed hand Hand Seals moving so fast they left only a blur. " Susanoo: God-Slaying Spear!"
Dark red Chakra surged from her body like a tidal wave, and countless skeletons burst from the ground, the sound of them colliding was deafening. In an instant, a hundred-meter-tall giant stood in the poisonous fog, its bone spear gleaming with a chilling light. The Iwa ninja in the front row turned pale, their Earth Style Wall being crushed like paper beneath the giant's feet.
"Kill!" The commander of Iwagakure brandished his Ninja Blade, and the formation of 30,000 ninjas pressed forward like an iron torrent. However, the giant's spear sliced through the sky, and the resulting gale directly shredded the ninjas in the front row into mincemeat. Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Jiu spewed out poisonous mist, and the thick fog mixed with the stench of blood, turning the battlefield into a living hell.
The Iwa ninja unleashed a barrage of Ninjutsu. Earth Release, Fire Style, and Explosion Release techniques rained down on the Susanoo Giant and Bai Jiu, but the attacks were either deflected by the Susanoo's skeleton or corroded into nothingness by the venom. A young ninja rushed to the giant's feet, only to be easily crushed into a bloody pulp, blood splattering everywhere.
The screams lasted for a full hour. The corpses of thousands of Iwa ninjas piled up like mountains, and the survivors collapsed to the ground, too weak to even raise their weapons. Bai Jiu's snake head looked down at the survivors, and with each flick of its tongue, the remaining Iwa ninjas trembled. Tian Uguisu dispelled her Susanoo and slowly walked up to the Iwa ninjas.
"Surrender, or die." Her voice was as cold as ice, as if there was no room for negotiation. The cowardly Iwa ninjas trembled and dropped their weapons, kneeling heavily on the ground. One by one, the surviving ninjas followed suit, their cries and pleas for mercy mingling with the poisonous mist and filling the crumbling rocky Yamanaka. The brave Iwa ninjas gripped their Kunai, suddenly realizing that this battle was less a war and more a one-sided massacre.
The duel between Ōnoki and Tian Uguisu: the Tsuchikage, who once dominated the Shinobi World, was ultimately defeated by Tian Uguisu. He died without ever meeting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, while Tian Uguisu, a ninja from Konoha, completely conquered the entire Land of Earth. This battle became the darkest day in the history of the Land of Earth, and also the biggest turning point for the Land of Earth.
Tian Uguisu proved herself with her strength, not only conquering the Land of Earth but also shocking the entire Shinobi World. She and Madara Uchiha quickly integrated the resources of the Land of Earth and reformed Land of Earth according to the policies and systems of the Land of Fire. They treated the common people kindly, allowing the people of the Land of Earth to feel unprecedented care and warmth. However, for the nobles of the Land of Earth, this was a disaster. They lost their former power and status, and could only swallow their anger and watch their country gradually change under the rule of Tian Uguisu and Madara Uchiha.
Iwagakure suffered heavy losses in this war, with over 200,000 ninja killed in action and the remaining 300,000 surrendering. Under Madara Uchiha's bloody and violent rule, no one dared to resist. Tian Uguisu issued an order for the entire Shinobi World to search for Tsubasa, and the village's ninjas, in small teams, traveled throughout the Shinobi World to find the Tsubasa Hokage. This operation caused turmoil throughout the Shinobi World, with various countries strengthening their defenses in preparation for a potential war.
News of Tian Uguisu's conquest of the entire Land of Earth spread throughout the Shinobi World, causing panic among the nations. They hastily rallied their forces, preparing for a bloody battle against the Land of Fire. At this critical moment, Tian Zhiyun, one of the wives of the Tsubasa Tianyi, appeared in the Land of Wind Hokage. This greatly unsettled the Sunagakure, which dispatched elite ninjas to drive Tian Zhiyun. Senju Tenpuku and Tenmei also appeared in the Land of Lightning Land of Lightning, prompting a nationwide manhunt for them. The entire Shinobi World was plunged into the Yin Shadow of war, the dark cloud of conflict looming over every ninja, filling them with immense fear and unease.
Konoha also convened an emergency meeting of all its high-ranking officials to discuss how to deal with the current situation. They knew that this war was inevitable, and they had to make full preparations to protect Konoha and the safety of the entire Land of Fire. This would be a war that would determine the Mirai of the Shinobi World, and they had to go all out. Tian Yueqing and Tian Flying Swallow of the Ten Family attended the meeting.
The actions of Tian Uguisu and Madara Uchiha have shaken the entire Shinobi World. Their target is not only the Land of Earth, but also the entire Shinobi World. And other countries will certainly not sit idly by; they will spare no effort to defend their nations.
This war is no longer just a battle between ninjas, but a contest between nations. It will determine the Mirai of the Shinobi World and the fate of every ninja.
The destruction of the Land of Earth was a major turning point in the history of the Shinobi World, marking the end of an era and heralding the arrival of a new one.
