Raikage gritted his teeth and said, "The advantage we've gained so painstakingly has been destroyed in the blink of an eye. I'm so unwilling to accept it."

"But will Konoha let us leave so easily?"

Hearing his son's question, Lei Ying realized that this was all he was worried about.

What they didn't know was that Karot no longer distinguished between friend and foe, and his priority in attacking the Cloud Ninja was because the Cloud Ninja's chakra remained on Mata's body.

"Thank you so much. Even though I'm embedded in the ground now, you still want to take me out and whip my corpse."

"All genin and chunin, retreat. Jonin, join forces with me to hold off the enemy."

Raikage decisively gave the order; a good leader knows to cut his losses and save himself in dangerous situations.

"Roar."

Taru jumped out of the pit, shaking off the dust. He roared at Carrot, as if that would quell his anger.

"attack."

With the Raikage's command, the Cloud Ninja Jonin unleashed their ninjutsu as if it were free.

"Lightning Release: The Technique of Moving Through Lightning Ground".

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique".

You also joined in.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique".

Carrot opened his mouth and fired an energy cannon from it. Unlike tailed beasts, which require charging, he twisted his neck and, like sweeping the floor, blocked all the Cloud Ninja's ninjutsu. Even the slower-moving Cloud Ninja disappeared. Matatabi was instantly blasted back to his original form, retreating entirely into the Jinchuriki's body. The Jinchuriki lay on the ground, his fate unknown.

"Ah."

Screams echoed across the battlefield.

"Monster, you monster!"

Devastated, Yunren couldn't help but shout and curse. His beloved was dead, and his best friend had died trying to save him. At this moment, he had lost all love and friendship. He was completely devoid of energy and spirit, his eyes were lifeless, and he numbly rushed towards Karot, clutching a kunai in his hand, wanting nothing more than to seek release.

"No, think it over."

"My fellow ninja called out."

The result remained unchanged. Carrot delivered a punch, blood and foam gushed out, and he remained there forever.

"You all leave."

The Raikage stepped forward at this moment, knowing that if he did not, the elite Cloud Ninja forces would be wiped out.

"Father."

Ai wanted to say something to dissuade him, but the words wouldn't come out. This was a responsibility that Ying had to bear.

"If I don't come back, A will inherit the position of Raikage."

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

The Raikage jumped up and stood in front of Karot.

"Lei Kai".

"Hell Thrust - Four-in-One Hand".

The Third Raikage's strongest spear and strongest technique appeared simultaneously on the battlefield.

It was fast, so fast it defies description.

The Raikage charged towards Carrot with his renowned speed. Carrot slapped his hand back, "Bang!" The Raikage transformed into a puff of white mist, appearing in front of Carrot in a flash. Substitution Jutsu. Even the mighty Raikage, a simpleton, was forced by Carrot to use one of his three body techniques.

"Hell Thrust - Four-in-One Hand".

The Raikage yelled and punched Karot directly in the nose.

"Roar."

Carrot took several steps back, covering his nose. It was as if he was afraid the Raikage would hit his nose again. It was rather cute.

Having succeeded once, the Raikage wasn't willing to let the opportunity slip by and attacked Carrot's face again. Although Carrot covered his nose with his hands, he still had his tail. Just as the Raikage flew towards Carrot, Carrot's tail swept out, and the Raikage felt as if he had been struck in the waist by a giant object, sending him flying sideways. He tumbled several times before coming to a stop. Fortunately, he had Reikai's protection, otherwise his kidneys would have been in danger.

Carrot's nose pain subsided, and he stared intently at the Raikage. It was this little guy who had caused him pain, and he was very vengeful.

Orochimaru then ordered Konoha ninjas to pursue Cloud ninjas, and Konoha ninjas kept passing by Karot.

"Roar."

Carrot turned and roared at the Konoha ninja.

"It happened."

Orochimaru's misjudgment is about to bring undeserved disaster upon the Konoha ninja. Seeing Karot constantly eliminating Cloud Ninja, he assumes Karot has a grudge against them. Believing that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Orochimaru has ordered a hunt for Cloud Ninja.

The Konoha ninja involuntarily took a few steps back. They had witnessed the battle firsthand; it was like a completely different world attack. They wouldn't want to face such an opponent even if they had a lot of courage.

Seeing that Karot had shifted his attention, Raikage decisively chose to flee, preferring to die for his friend rather than himself.

Chapter 40 After the War

"Carrot, stop."

Sakumo Hatake was helped forward by Shikaku Nara. While Karot was indiscriminately annihilating the Cloud Ninja, Shikaku immediately began treating Sakumo, pulling him back from the brink of death.

He was also taken aback when he first saw Carrot's transformed form, Hatake Sakumo. If it weren't for his jutsu sense, he wouldn't have believed that the guy in front of him was his obedient son. Yes, you heard right, obedient. Every son is viewed through a filter by his parents.

Carrot ignored them and launched an attack, which startled the Konoha ninjas, who vividly remembered the fate of the Cloud Ninjas.

"I'm sorry, Carrot."

Sakumo Hatake quickly formed hand seals and spoke.

"cut."

With a loud "swoosh," Carrot's tail was severed.

"Roar."

Carrot bent his arms and clutched his head. His body slowly shrank, and he collapsed unconscious on the ground.

"Ah."

Carrot woke up with a scream; his last memory was of his father being injured by the Raikage.

"Carrot, are you alright?"

Upon seeing his son awake, Hatake Sakumo quickly asked what was wrong. He had arranged for Carrot to share a tent with him and struggled to look after him. Now that his son was awake, he finally felt relieved and fainted.

"Father, Father, medical ninjas, come quick!"

One woke up, then the other fainted; the father and son were truly in sync. The diagnosis revealed it was simply due to excessive blood loss; they just needed to recover with proper care.

Why did Sakumo Hatake insist on taking care of his comatose son despite his injuries? It was because the ninja world was too dark. Assassinations and backstabbings were rampant, and even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, could not escape them. How much more so for Karot, who was in a coma. Sometimes the internal damage was even greater, such as the Darkness, the Root buried underground, and others who could not bear to see others do well.

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared in disbelief at the intelligence report in his hand. It contained tales of killing the Eight-Tails, brutally beating the Two-Tails' Jinchuriki, and most importantly, transforming into a Great Ape and wreaking havoc. If the report hadn't been delivered by his own disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would never have believed such nonsense. This isn't the Warring States period anymore; if you're this brave, how are we supposed to survive, boss?

"Hiruzen, hand Karot over to me! I will train him to become the sharpest sword in Konoha."

"I'm just a worker," Danzo said earnestly. When he received the information, if it weren't for the fact that Root ninjas would never betray him, he wouldn't have believed it. He thought a ten-year-old ninja could possess such power; back then, Danzo was still struggling to make ends meet. "As long as I have Karot in my grasp, becoming Hokage will no longer be a dream." Unfortunately, Hatake Sakumo was watching over Karot, preventing Danzo from harming him; otherwise, Karot would have been cursed long ago. This time, he brought along two other advisors to put pressure on Yuan Fei.

Danzo's ulterior motives were perfectly clear to his old friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Without a second thought, he rejected Danzo's offer.

"Can we still make decisions for Danzo now?"

"Yuan Fei Ri Zhan said. The strength that Karot displayed made Yuan Fei Ri Zhan take notice; it was too strong. Now, as long as Karot didn't betray Konoha, Yuan Fei Ri Zhan could let Karot run rampant. He still held Kakashi in his hands; Kakashi was from his Hokage lineage. Even if Karot didn't care about the Hokage, he should at least show some respect. At this moment, Yuan Fei Ri Zhan was truly grateful that Minato had taken Kakashi as his disciple."

Danzo was speechless. Yes, now Carrot is someone anyone can manipulate.

"The Cloud Ninja front will now enter a brief period of peace. The wounded ninjas will be brought back to Konoha to recuperate, 500 ninjas will be left to guard the area, and the rest will return to Konoha to rest and recuperate."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The ninja from the Anbu disappeared after accepting the mission.

"Danzo, what's going on with Hanzo?"

"Everything is settled. I will personally oversee that Hanzo will not cause any trouble."

Danzo was confident that Hanzo wouldn't be able to do it, but he, Danzo, would.

"Mito, Koharu, the supply of materials must not be cut off. Jiraiya and Minato are under a lot of pressure."

"Yes, Hiruzen."

The two advisors naturally understood the gravity of the situation. The frontline commanders were all from the Hokage's faction, so their supplies would not be cut off. As for the Uchiha and Hyuga on the Kirigakure front, sorry, we're not familiar with them. The Hokage hasn't mentioned them either, so let's just follow procedure.

As Carrot walked through the camp, the passing ninjas looked at him with fear in their eyes; the ignorant feared the unknown rather than explored it.

"Hey, Carrot."

Sanada saw Carrot wandering around the camp and waved to him.

"I never expected that you, Carrot, almost wiped out all the Cloud Ninja by yourself. That was awesome."

Sanada looked on with envy. The more powerful his brothers were, the happier he was, because only the most powerful could survive in the war. He never wanted to see his comrades fall in his arms again.

"My teacher and I wanted to visit you yesterday, but we were stopped by Lord Hatake. Thankfully you're alright."
