When the momentum of the Shinobi Allied Forces reached its peak, the first round of clashes finally began.
Ninjas from various villages gathered together, all wearing headbands with the word "Ninja" and marching confidently towards the direction of the Seireitei.
"Can we win?" There were ninjas within the Allied Forces who had doubts in their hearts.
They were the kind of ninjas forced onto the battlefield.
They might have a certain sense of belonging to their villages, but that sense of belonging hadn't reached the point of sacrificing their lives for the village.
"We will definitely win! We will win!" The higher-ranking ninjas encouraged the trembling middle and lower-ranking ninjas.
"The Hokage (Raikage, Tsuchikage, Mizukage) is fully prepared." The higher-ranking ninjas all looked confident.
That's because they knew some secrets.
"No matter how strong the Seireitei is, we, the Ninja Allied Forces, have made all the preparations."
"The previous failure was just due to negligence! After a month of preparation, the Ninja Allied Forces will make a comeback!"
"Soon, the Seireitei will feel the strength of the Ninja Allied Forces, and they will begin to fear!" The Ninja Allied Forces were united.
Soon, the sight of the Seireitei appeared in the eyes of the Ninja Allied Forces.
And in the sky above, a figure looked down at the Ninja Allied Forces.
The dazzling golden hair was so conspicuous.
"That's Uzumaki Naruto." Various serious voices echoed among the Ninja Allied Forces.
All the high-ranking ninjas and Kage-level ninja looked at Naruto with caution.
Unlike the middle and lower-ranking ninjas, they understood the terror of Naruto.
"The Ninja Allied Forces? Give me some fun." Naruto's indifferent voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
Then, cheers erupted from the side of the Seireitei, and the Shinigami drew their Zanpakuto, shining with a dazzling cold light.
In the previous war, the Seireitei also had significant losses, so this time Naruto decided to take matters into his own hands and quickly deal with the Shinobi Allied Forces, putting an end to this war.
The time for the Seireitei to take over the Shinobi World had come.
A new era had arrived as well.
Watching Naruto in the sky, all the ninjas couldn't help but break into cold sweats.
In fact, the ones who felt it most deeply were from Konoha.
After all, Naruto had set fire to Konoha with his own hands, bringing fear to everyone.
The scene of Naruto killing the Third Hokage was still fresh in their memories.
Many of the Konoha ninjas felt fear in their hearts.
Unlike Konoha, other village ninjas hadn't directly clashed with Naruto, so they only felt that the owner of the Seireitei seemed oppressive and powerful.
That's it.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" After Naruto appeared, Tsunade's eyes seemed to be on fire. She had to avenge Konoha and Jiraiya.
Seeing the Shinigami army in the rear not moving, a fierce look appeared in her eyes. "I didn't expect you to be so arrogant, wanting to take on the entire Ninja Allied Forces by yourself."
Rather than arrogant, it was more like madness, a disregard for life.
Naruto's strength was indeed formidable, but trying to contend with the Shinobi Allied Forces alone was a bit too unrealistic.
You have to understand that a person's physical stamina has its limits. Even if the Ninja Allied Forces threw their lives into the battle, they could still wear Naruto down.
"Long time no see, Fifth Hokage," Naruto looked at Tsunade with a slight smile, drawing his Zanpakuto slowly.
"The last time I saw you, you were still in great shape, but now..."
After the brutal beatdown Naruto gave the Kage previously, all of them were disfigured. For someone like Tsunade, who cared about her appearance, this was undoubtedly the most painful thing.
She had to cover her face with a mask all day long. No matter how she tried to treat it, her skin seemed permanently scarred, and the scars couldn't be removed.
"Don't think you have everything under control, Uzumaki Naruto." Tsunade sneered and slowly took off her mask, revealing a delicate and beautiful face in front of everyone.
This change made Naruto raise an eyebrow slightly, and a strange curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "It seems you've succeeded."
"Not bad!! Now I have the Wood Release!" Tsunade's eyes sharpened as she formed hand seals.
In the next moment, colossal ancient trees extended from the ground, piercing through the clouds, with their massive and majestic presence. Thick and intricate roots spread out on the ground, forming a complex network.
Tsunade stood on top of the ancient tree, overlooking the battlefield from a high vantage point. Her golden hair swayed in the wind, and her voice was high-pitched, "Uzumaki Naruto, you have disrupted the peace of the Shinobi World on your own. Today, you will pay the price."
With her words, the entire Ninja Allied Forces began to boil.
Wood Release was once the symbol of the Shinobi World's god, the First Hokage.
Back then, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, swept the entire Shinobi World with invincibility.
When the Seireitei was rampant, the ninjas also thought that if the First Hokage were here, everything might have turned out differently.
At this moment, their admiration and awe for the First Hokage were transferred to Tsunade.
"It seems you have successfully researched the Wood Release cells, congratulations." However, in the face of what seemed to be powerful Wood Release, Naruto let out a light laugh.
"Materials have arrived." Down below, Orochimaru also revealed a sinister smile, muttering to himself.
In Naruto's plan, Tsunade awakening the Wood Release was naturally within his expectations.
Wood Release cells had strong corrosive properties that no ninja could resist.
The only ones who might succeed were Tsunade, with her Senju bloodline, and Itachi Uchiha, who awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Since you're already prepared, then let's embrace despair. If you please me, I might spare your lives." With that, Naruto descended, and the clear sky behind him suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, casting a shadow over the entire army.
As Naruto's figure appeared in front of them, everyone was filled with shock.
In their world, the entire Ninja Allied Forces was suddenly filled with Hollows and Shinigami, launching continuous attacks on their comrades.
The entire Ninja Allied Forces fell into chaos, constantly releasing ninjutsu.
Blood was everywhere.
It could be said that the damage inflicted by the Mirror Flower, Water Moon was absolutely enormous to these low-ranking ninjas. This Zanpakuto was created for war.
"Kill Uzumaki Naruto!" Tsunade and the other Kage roared angrily.
They understood that only by killing Naruto could they put an end to the nightmare of the Shinobi Allied Forces.
"Wood Release!" Tsunade's right hand instantly turned into wood and pierced towards Naruto.
The remaining Kage also used their own signature ninjutsu.
"Petty tricks," Naruto stood still and, when all the attacks appeared in front of him, he slowly extended his fingers.
"Bakudo No. 81: Danku." A glass wall appeared in front of him, easily blocking all the attacks.
Even the signature ninjutsu of the Kage couldn't shake Danku.
"Such low-grade ninjutsu can't even touch me. If your Wood Release is only at this level, then it's utterly meaningless."
Naruto glanced at Tsunade indifferently.
With just one glance, he exuded immense pressure, making Tsunade feel a hint of fear in her heart.
"Crack, crack, crack." In the shocked gaze of everyone, the ground beneath Tsunade's feet suddenly cracked, and spider-web-like cracks spread out in all directions.
"Gulung." The sound of swallowing saliva echoed.
The other three Kage looked at Tsunade, whose face had turned red, and their chakra unconsciously flowed rapidly, as they gazed at Naruto with solemn expressions.
They knew that this would definitely be an unprecedented and fierce battle.
"It seems you've prepared for death. Then, perform well. If you please me, I might give you a chance to live." Saying this, Naruto leaped down, and the clear sky behind him was instantly covered by dark clouds, shrouding the entire army.
One Man Deterred the Allied Forces.
As they watched Naruto's slow approach, the Four Kage clenched their fists nervously.
The sounds of battling ninjas in the background had already been pushed out of their minds; they had no time to worry about the lives of their comrades.
"Be careful of his Mirror Flower, Water Moon. It can manipulate the five senses. You must use chakra to resist it," Tsunade said with a serious expression.
The three Kage nodded instinctively.
A Zanpakuto that could manipulate the five senses was indeed terrifying.
"Just dealing with you is too boring," Naruto said with a disdainful curve on his lips.
In the next moment, all the Mirror Flower, Water Moons were dispelled, and the previously battling ninja alliance came to a halt, with voices filled with fear echoing.
"Why are we fighting each other?"
"Did I kill my comrades?"
"It's impossible?! This can't be true!!!"
There were cries of pain and anger everywhere.
Some ninjas had killed their trusted comrades with their own hands, and some had even killed their own family members.
The entire ninja alliance was on the brink of collapse.
It was like a scene from hell, with limbs and body parts scattered everywhere.
Cries pierced the sky, but Naruto remained indifferent.
"It's all because of that person. Kill him!! Avenge our families!" A voice filled with hatred echoed in the alliance, and all eyes turned to Naruto.
"Kill him!!!" The massive alliance rushed toward Naruto, and a swirling dust cloud swept over as they charged. Everyone's expressions were filled with madness.
The Four Kage didn't stop them.
Because they wanted to see how terrifying Naruto's combat power would be under the siege of the ninja alliance.
"Ants," Naruto muttered with a slight smile, and then a tremendous spiritual pressure burst from within him. A visible shockwave swept through the surroundings, and countless ninjas were involuntarily lifted into the air, powerless to resist.
A slash through the sky, and the blade instantly cut countless ninjas in half at the waist.
Naruto walked forward slowly, without blinking his eyes. Countless ninjas perished with every move he made.
His invincible demeanor inspired fear in the hearts of all who witnessed it.
"Ants always delude themselves into finding comfort in numbers, but little do they know that in front of a true powerhouse, they are helpless," Naruto's indifferent voice echoed. With just a casual swing of his sword, no ninja could withstand it.
"Good job, but you still have a long way to go," Naruto said as he easily stood on top of Tsunade's Wood Release, his right hand grabbing Tsunade's neck. He leaned in close and whispered, "You know, it's quite challenging to step on an ant without crushing it completely." He tossed Tsunade aside with his right hand, and she fell to the ground, helpless. The land beneath her was shattered by the tremendous force, and she was dragged away as she fell.
"Bankai 54: Haieka," Naruto said as he released a dazzling fire from his hand, forming a ring of flames that quickly covered the sky above the battlefield.
The air boiled, and the high temperature made people's throats dry. The flames almost instantly evaporated the moisture in the air, leaving the ninja alliance below pale-faced, sweating profusely. Their sweat evaporated as soon as it appeared.
"Is this just number 54 of Kido?" Tsunade, with great effort, swallowed her saliva. The towering ancient tree had been completely ignited, turned into charcoal. Wood Release was completely restrained by the flames.
Higher-numbered Kidō generally had greater power, and Tsunade had seen other Shinigami's Kidō with higher numbers, but the difference in power compared to Naruto's was like night and day.
The Haieka, originally a flame ring that could contain only a few people, had expanded so much after being released by Naruto that its boundaries were almost invisible.
"Water Release: Water Wall!" Countless Water Release jutsu were released from the ninja's mouths, joining forces to create a thick water curtain above the heads of the alliance.
Boom! Haieka crashed down, colliding with the water curtain. With a screeching sound, hot steam filled the air.
Upon closer inspection, Haieka showed signs of breaking through the water curtain, which alarmed the Four Kage. "Can one of his casual Kidō break through the entire ninja alliance's ninjutsu?"
It was well known that a person's ninjutsu could vary in power depending on their chakra and mastery. The same applied to Kidō.
However, the range of variation should be limited.
Haieka should be equivalent to an A-rank, or even B-rank, ninjutsu at most. Even if it reached its limit, its power should have a threshold.
But Naruto shattered all of that.
His casual use of Haieka emitted an oppressive aura like an S-ranked ninjutsu.
"We must stop him!" The Four Kage glanced at each other and acted together.
"Wood Release: Violent Spear Technique." Tsunade extended multiple wooden vines from her body, rapidly growing into large trees that charged towards Naruto.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Plough Hot Sword." The Fourth Raikage, A, burst with incredible speed, closing in on Naruto, with his entire body charged with Lightning Release chakra. He rushed towards Naruto.
"Earth Release: Earth Moving Core." Onoki, the Tsuchikage, clapped his hands on the ground, altering the terrain and bringing himself parallel to Naruto in the sky.
"Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique." Onoki used ninjutsu again to reduce the weight of the Fourth Raikage, enhancing his speed.
"Water Release: Water Formation Pillar." Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, helped the ninja alliance block the descending Haieka.
Their coordination was impeccable, showcasing the caliber of the Four Kage.
"Go, Raikage!" With the boost from various ninjutsu, the Fourth Raikage's speed had reached its limit, making it almost impossible for the naked eye to catch. He swiftly moved behind Naruto and aimed a powerful elbow strike at the back of his head.
At the same time, Tsunade's Wood Release had reached Naruto's chest.
"Not bad, but you're still far from it," Naruto's spiritual pressure burst out instantly. His figure disappeared, and in the next moment, the previously speeding Fourth Raikage suffered a heavy blow to his abdomen, his body bending into an arch, and he spat out stomach contents as he was sent flying.
Naruto, on the other hand, had lightly stepped on Tsunade's Wood Release and arrived in front of her. He grabbed her neck with his right hand and leaned in close to whisper, "Did you know? Stepping on an ant without killing it completely is quite a difficult feat." He tossed Tsunade aside with his right hand, and she fell to the ground, helpless. The ground beneath her was shattered by the tremendous force, and she was dragged away as she fell.
"Bankai 4: White Lightning." After dealing with the two Kage, Naruto's finger emitted a lightning bolt that shot towards Onoki, the Tsuchikage.
"Earth Release: Stone Palm." Giant stone palms appeared in front of Onoki.
Boom! The stone palm was destroyed by White Lightning, crumbling from the inside out. Onoki was enveloped in the overflowing lightning.
With painful screams, Onoki fell to the ground like a withered leaf in the wind.
Fortunately, Tsunade, who still had some strength left, used Onoki as a cushion; otherwise, Onoki's elderly body might have suffered severe injuries.
All of this happened in an instant, and the attacks of the three Kage were not only deflected but also inflicted heavy damage on themselves.
In contrast, Naruto remained calm and composed.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss." At this point, with the help of Mei Terumi, the ninja alliance had finally managed to block the terrifying Haieka.
Ninjas gasped for breath, and their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Naruto.
The leader of the Seireitei's strength was truly something to behold.
"Is this the power of the leader of the Seireitei?"
Despair spread in everyone's hearts.
