Chapter 383 The Great War to Unify the Ninja World
The impact of Akatsuki's surrender began to spread, and the ninja world became turbulent.
Inside the council chambers of the three kingdoms of Earth, Thunder, and Wind, the slogan "Fight to the death!" still resounded loudly.
The noble lords, pounding their chests and swearing oaths, declared, "We will live and die with the nation!"
But after nightfall, the hidden alleyways of the capitals of various countries are filled with hurried figures.
In the black market banks of the Land of Earth's capital, candles burned all night long.
Several nobles dressed in magnificent court robes and wearing black masks were handing over boxes of gold coins, precious gems, and storage scrolls to secret merchants sent by the Land of Water.
"They transferred all of these assets to a secret account in the Land of Water, leaving no trace."
At this moment, the nobleman's eyes were filled with panic, a far cry from the impassioned demeanor he displayed in the royal council hall during the day.
The butler behind him carefully counted the valuables.
Everyone now understands that going to war with the Land of Water is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, and preserving assets is the top priority.
On the desert trade route of Sunagakure Village, camel caravans come and go in an endless stream. On the surface, they are transporting grain and medicine, but in reality, the cargo boxes on the camels' backs are filled with gold and silver jewelry, as well as family treasures and other valuables.
The caravan leader, holding a pass secretly issued by a high-ranking nobleman, sailed unimpeded toward the border of the Water Kingdom, a knowing smile on his face.
These nobles, while proclaiming their "sacrifice for Sunagakure," had already prepared an escape route for themselves, transferring most of their assets away.
The ports of the Land of Lightning were also brightly lit, with large cargo ships quietly leaving the shore under the cover of night, carrying resources plundered by the nobles, precious lightning-style ninja tools, and large amounts of gold.
The ship owner stood on the deck, gazing in the direction of the Water Kingdom, his eyes filled with awe.
The strength of the Uchiha Three Peaks and Nagato's surrender had already made them realize the situation. Being able to board the ship of the Land of Water and protect these assets was extremely important to them.
The common people and lowly ninjas from various countries saw this and felt increasingly disheartened.
Those nobles who usually call on them to sacrifice themselves for the country are now secretly paving the way for themselves. The so-called "fight to the death" is nothing more than using them as cannon fodder.
Meanwhile, those small, weak countries struggling to survive have come to a clear understanding of the situation.
Within three days, more than a dozen small countries, including the Land of Demons, the Land of Bears, and the Land of Tea, sent envoys with generous gifts to the Royal Palace of the Land of Water, expressing their willingness to surrender.
The envoys knelt in the palace square, their attitude extremely respectful.
"Lord Mimine, we are willing to join the Land of Water, build a new order in the ninja world, abide by the peace treaty, and only ask for the protection of the Land of Water so that we will no longer suffer the pain of war."
Uchiha Mitsunaga sat on the throne, reviewing the letters of surrender from various countries.
"After you submit, your country will retain its complete structure, your people will be able to share the resources of the ninja world, and your ninjas will be able to participate in the Ninja World Grand Tournament. But remember, if you dare to violate the peace treaty, you will be severely punished."
The envoys kowtowed repeatedly, their faces filled with gratitude and awe. Seeking refuge with the Water Kingdom was now their only way to survive.
The three-day meeting quietly ended amidst the anxiety and undercurrents among the various nations.
The first rays of morning sunlight fall upon the top of the Water Kingdom's palace.
The golden flags of the Water Kingdom fluttered in the wind, and the sound of war drums resounded throughout the entire Water Kingdom.
The final battle to unify the ninja world has officially begun.
The borders of the Land of Lightning are shrouded in the smoke of war.
The Seventh Hokage, Minato Namikaze, wore a white cloak, and his golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight.
He held the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, and behind him were more than 10,000 Konoha ninjas.
Minato Namikaze's voice, carried by chakra, echoed across the battlefield: "Shinobi of the Land of Lightning, lay down your weapons and submit to our unification, and you will gain peace and dignity; if you insist on resisting, we will show no mercy."
Before the words were even finished, a blinding blue light pierced through the morning mist!
"Boom... Boom..."
The Fourth Raikage, A, appeared at the forefront of the battlefield like a blue lightning bolt, tearing through the air at an astonishing speed.
"Minato Namikaze! Don't think you've got this in the bag! We, the ninjas of the Land of Lightning, don't have spines!"
Having fought Minato Namikaze for many years, he had long since figured out his opponent's tactics, so he stopped hesitating and directly ordered an attack.
Thousands of Lightning Release ninjas behind him instantly scattered and launched an attack... Blue electric snakes leaped at his fingertips... Someone swung out a chain of lightning, aiming straight for the Konoha ninjas in the distance.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Minato Namikaze vanished instantly, and the next second, he appeared behind A, his Flying Thunder God Kunai aimed straight at A's heart!
The Fourth Raikage, A, reacted extremely quickly, turning around abruptly and slamming his hardened Lightning Release fist into Minato Namikaze. The two instantly clashed, their yellow light and blue Lightning Release colliding repeatedly, showcasing speed and passion.
The Konoha ninjas around them were not to be outdone. The whooshing sound of kunai cutting through the air mingled with the explosions of the explosive tags, and every inch of the battlefield trembled continuously!
......
At the border of the Land of Earth, Uchiha Shisui, dressed in black, had the Iwagakure ninjas standing ready ahead in his crimson pupils.
The ninja troops behind him had already occupied advantageous terrain, and earth-style traps and ninjutsu scrolls were ready.
"Lord Ōnoki, Lady Kurotsuchi asked me to convey a message. Peace is not out of reach; only if you give up resistance can Iwagakure continue."
"Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique"
Onoki's figure suddenly soared into the air.
Looking down at the densely packed Water Country troops, his aged face was filled with complex emotions.
He recalled Kurotsuchi's letter and Nagato's words, and his defenses crumbled.
But the nobles below continued to shout, "Lord Tsuchikage, kill them! Our Land of Earth will never surrender!"
Onoki took a deep breath: "Shisui, beating us won't be that easy!"
Uchiha Shisui remembered Kurotsuchi's worries and that this old man was her most beloved grandfather, and he already knew what to do.
"Lord Ōnoki, do you think you can avoid it like this?"
His body suddenly erupted with green chakra... bones, muscles, and armor layered upon layer... the complete Susanoo!
A giant green shadow, over two hundred meters tall, stands between the mountains, with a pair of outstretched green wings on its back. When it flaps, it stirs up a gale, blowing the pebbles on the ground into the air.
"That's... the Perfect Susanoo?... Uchiha Shisui can even use this technique..."
"How are we supposed to fight this...? Should we surrender?"
The Iwagakure ninjas were pale, their eyes filled with fear and shock.
Uchiha Shisui manipulated Susanoo's wings, flapping them to instantly take to the air and chase after Onoki.
He deliberately controlled his speed and attack power, confronting Onoki in the air.
Onoki gritted his teeth, gathering chakra in his palm: "Dust Release: Particle Style!"
Just as the energy shield of Dust Release was about to take shape, Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo suddenly accelerated, the frequency of its wings flapping increased dramatically, and its emerald green figure instantly appeared in front of Onoki, its huge palm gently slapping Onoki, forcefully interrupting his ninjutsu.
"Oonoki, you're too slow, surrender!"
Uchiha Shisui's calm voice came through Susanoo, as if he were chatting casually.
I deliberately controlled my strength just now. This palm strike only dispersed Onoki's chakra and did not injure his body. Otherwise, Onoki would have had to log off early!
Onoki's body flew backwards for dozens of meters.
He could sense that the other party wasn't going to kill him.
But this feeling of being unilaterally controlled made him both angry and frustrated, so he could only fly away into the distance.
Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Shisui controlled the green Susanoo and followed closely behind.
The two pursued and fled, their figures flying further and further away, gradually breaking out of the battlefield and soon disappearing from sight.
......
In the desert of the Land of Wind, Senju Nawaki wore red armor, his black hair tied back, and a confident smile on his face.
He held the Senju clan's ancestral greatsword in his hand, and his body was surrounded by dense Wood Release chakra.
"Lord Rasa, we are aware of the plight of Sunagakure. After you submit, the Land of Water will provide Sunagakure with water and food, and share training resources. This is the only way out for Sunagakure."
Luo Sha stood atop the desert castle, golden sand swirling around him, his hand still tightly clutching Temari's letter.
Looking down at the powerful Water Kingdom forces, his inner struggle reached its peak.
He recalled the roar of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind: "Rasa, attack! Even if we die in battle, we must uphold the dignity of the Land of Wind!"
Luo Sha closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he roared helplessly, "Nawaki, I, Kazekage, will never admit defeat so easily!"
He raised his hand and waved it, and golden sand surged towards Rope Tree's troops like a tsunami.
"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"
Rope Tree unleashed a burst of Wood Release chakra, causing massive trees to rise from the desert and form a sturdy barrier that blocked the impact of the gold dust.
The trees grew rapidly, their branches and leaves flourishing, turning the desert into a green battlefield.
Three major battles broke out simultaneously, engulfing the entire ninja world in flames.
The Water Kingdom's forces, relying on their superior strength, seamless teamwork, and advanced tactics, achieved victory after victory.
The armies of the Earth, Lightning, and Wind kingdoms suffered repeated defeats, the nobles' confidence completely collapsed, and those nobles who had secretly transferred their assets had long since fled, leaving only ordinary ninjas and civilians to struggle on the battlefield.
As the intelligence reports kept coming in, the daimyo of various countries finally realized that resistance was futile, and that their so-called "dignity" was laughable in the face of absolute power.
On the throne in the palace of the King of Water, Uchiha Sanfeng looked at the battle reports coming from all over the world, his face showing no emotion.
The four princesses stood behind him, their faces filled with a mixture of relief and worry.
"Sanfeng, will they surrender?" Kurotsuchi asked softly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Uchiha Mitsunori held her hand and comforted her, "Yes, but we'll need to fight a few battles. Only then will they stop having any illusions."
On the battlefield, the fighting continues, but the scales of victory have already tipped.
