Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 345 The Gathering of Souls Over a Thousand Years, A Millennium of Bloodshed!

this moment…

Kaguya Otsutsuki hastily chose to shoot out two All-Killing Ash Bones!

To other ninjas, Kaguya Otsutsuki's attack stemmed from her anger at being treated like prey; only Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki understood that it originated from her fear!

Fear, tension, anxiety.

This is a true reflection of Kaguya Otsutsuki's inner thoughts.

Once she truly became prey, Kaguya Otsutsuki's first thought was to leave this place. However, this sea area was completely sealed off by Akihara Kagura's time-limited space-sealing barrier, making it impossible for her to use any space-time magic to escape. She felt a little scared!

this moment…

Kaguya Otsutsuki's panic finally fermented, and the fear of being unable to use space-time techniques completely overwhelmed her heart!

This progenitor of chakra is like a rabbit that has been cornered!

"I'm getting anxious."

Akihara Kagura slightly turned her head to dodge the attack of a All-Killing Ash Bone, raised her finger, and flicked it onto another All-Killing Ash Bone!

Click...

That bone fragment shattered instantly!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes narrowed as she watched helplessly as Kagura Akihara broke through the All-Killing Ash Bones technique. Her long white hair immediately began to dance wildly, with strands flying up in a dense, tangled mess!

Rabbit hair needles!

Countless long hairs, like long needles, attacked Akihara Kagura's body. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, using her Byakugan, observed Akihara Kagura's major acupoints and all her weaknesses!

Akihara Kagura raised her hand!

Lightning dances wildly!

Suddenly, arcs of electricity flashed across the entire sea, and the lightning, like sharp blades, instantly shattered long, needle-like strands of hair!

This is a battle between gods!

Under the overwhelming might of the heavens, the other ninjas were as insignificant as ordinary mortals!

"Eighty Gods Air Strike!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand with a heavy expression!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra suddenly exploded, and countless huge chakra fists emerged from behind her and appeared beside her!

Countless enormous chakra fists slammed towards Akihara Kagura, and with the help of the Byakugan, these enormous fists instantly blocked all of Akihara Kagura's escape routes!

This attack can only be withstood by Akihara Kagura herself!

Akihara Kagura remained fearless and raised his hand, his fingers tapping slightly as clusters of white chakra emerged from his back!

All of this white chakra transformed into enormous, overwhelming hands, clenching all the incoming chakra fists within them!

Endless chakra palms and fists collided in mid-air, filling the entire time-limited sealed space with dense chakra!

A group of ninjas stood trembling on the sea!

Everyone hurriedly dodged their attacks, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. Even Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha dared not be careless!

The instant fist and palm collide!

Countless fists of chakra were squeezed and crushed by the white hand!

The Eighty Gods' Sky Strike seemed so fragile at this moment!

This technique, which combines absolute attack and absolute defense and was used by the progenitor of chakra, was directly broken by Akihara Kagura's almost identical technique at this moment!

"The technique has been broken..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked even more nervous, her fair fingers trembling slightly, because her power was almost being crushed by Kagura Akihara!

next moment!

All the white chakra palms in the sky instantly converged into a gigantic hand, which slammed down on Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand, trying to resist the suppression of the chakra hand, but her body flew out like a shooting star!

The body of this chakra progenitor slammed into the time-limited air-sealing barrier, and the entire barrier trembled from the impact!

Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately disregarded her own injuries and slammed her hand on the time-limited barrier, attempting to break a gap in it!

"Do you want to leave here?"

A voice appeared in Kaguya Otsutsuki's ear.

"!!!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki panicked. She saw Kagura Akihara standing right in front of her. This hunter from outer space had appeared before her in an instant!

this moment…

Kaguya Otsutsuki felt like a little rabbit frantically trying to escape from a cage. In an instant, her body flew away from Kagura Akihara, fearing that Kagura Akihara would catch her!

"Mother…"

Black Zetsu could sense Kaguya's fear and unease, and cautiously asked, "Shouldn't we leave here first...?"

"..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki gritted her teeth.

Because all she could see was a barrier on the surface of the sea, like a hemisphere covering the sea!

She cannot use any space-time magic within this barrier!

They can't even open a spacetime tunnel!

but…

A gray bone spur rekindled Kaguya Otsutsuki's hope!

Kaguya Otsutsuki recalled the two All-Killing Ash Bones she had released. One of them was shattered with a flick of Akihara Kagura's finger, while the other was dodged by Akihara Kagura turning her head...

After Akihara Kagura dodged the All-Killing Ash Bone, it finally flew to the edge of the barrier and forcefully stuck itself into it…

next moment!

The barrier vanished without a trace!

Could killing Ash Bones really break this barrier?

When Kaguya saw the All-Killing Ash Bones strike the barrier, the time-limited air-sealing barrier vanished without a trace in that instant!

"Tian Zhongchu!"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki hurriedly hid in her own space-time dimension!

"Trying to run away?"

Akihara Kagura watched her disappear in an instant, showing no panic whatsoever. A smug, arrogant sneer even appeared on her lips: "Now the entire planet has become my hunting ground. How can prey possibly escape the hunter's pursuit!"

After speaking, Akihara Kagura raised his palm and opened a pitch-black space-time portal, about to step into the space.

This is a unique ability originating from the progenitor of chakra!

Kagura Akihara can easily use any power that any chakra progenitor can wield. He can break any technique, even bloodline limit breakage!

"Kagura!"

A voice called out to Akihara Kagura!

Kakashi Hatake stood up weakly, looking at Kagura Akihara with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "I heard everything just now. Your purpose in coming to this world... is it for Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra? After obtaining her chakra, will you leave this place? Will you destroy this world?"

"Um?"

Akihara Kagura frowned, then chuckled softly, seemingly finding Hatake Kakashi's question somewhat foolish!

If he wanted to leave this world, he would either have to destroy it or be expelled by the entire world, making it impossible for the world to accept him...

but…

What does Kakashi Hatake mean by wanting to give him a send-off or something?

"Kakashi..."

"You now..."

"Why does it sound like an innocent child..."

Akihara Kagura chuckled and shook her head, her eyes slowly turning serious: "Considering our past relationship, I'll tell you your fate in advance!"

"This planet..."

"It's a natural hunting ground..."

Akihara Kagura's gaze swept briefly over the crowd, a chilling smile playing on her lips: "Since this is a hunting ground, there won't be just one prey..."

"..."

Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, and in an instant they understood what Akihara Kagura meant: they were all prey that Akihara Kagura wanted to hunt!

"Even the last vestiges of chakra that peek into fate on the edge of life and death are prey worth hunting for a hunter..."

After saying this, Akihara Kagura stepped into the dark portal to another dimension, leaving behind only one sentence: "Even those souls hiding in the pure land of the underworld are fish worth casting a net for a hunter..."

"!!!"

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were both startled at the same time!

That Akihara Kagura guy…

They don't even spare the dead in the Pure Land of the Underworld!

"He's gone..."

Sakura Haruno watched Kagura Akihara step into the portal between time and space, and finally let out a long breath, her face still covered in cold sweat: "That person's aura... was just too terrifying. I didn't dare to move. Kakashi-sensei even managed to ask him a question..."

"At least die knowing why, right?"

Kakashi Hatake gave a wry smile.

"That guy..."

Orochimaru recalled Akihara Kagura's past actions and chuckled, "She certainly makes sure people die knowing exactly what happened, just like what she did to Danzo..."

"So, now our trouble has begun..."

A red light flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, his expression unusually serious: "You all saw it just now, they both possess the power to destroy the world. Whether it's Akihara Kagura or Otsutsuki Kaguya, the Sage of Six Paths said that Otsutsuki Kaguya wanted to collect the chakra of the ninja world, and Akihara Kagura also wanted to collect the chakra of the ninja world, along with Otsutsuki Kaguya's chakra, and they wouldn't even spare the resting beings of the Pure Land of the Underworld..."

Whether it's Kaguya or Akihara Kagura, they are enemies they must face, something they cannot avoid!

Both of them were beings that were difficult for them to defeat!

but…

But it is also a danger they must solve!

"Sasuke's meaning..."

Sakura Haruno frowned, seemingly able to guess Sasuke Uchiha's thoughts: "How are we going to deal with them? But we..."

"We don't seem to be of much use."

Orochimaru shook his head, a smile still playing on his lips: "Shouldn't we be thinking about how to escape the aftermath of their battle?"

"Let me think of a way..."

An aged voice appeared on the sea.

"I never imagined that the ninja world would have an enemy more terrifying than my mother..."

The old man's voice, though aged, was strong and powerful. He sighed deeply, "Back then, Hamura mentioned that even a god as powerful as a mother would feel fear. Now I finally understand what my mother feared. Such an enemy, whether in cunning or in strength, truly inspires fear..."

The voice was familiar to some, but unfamiliar to others. Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki both looked toward the source of the voice.

An aged, ethereal figure slowly appeared on the sea surface. Beneath the old man was the remains of Uchiha Madara, severed during the battle between Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Madara.

after all…

The entire sea surface was littered with the remains of Madara Uchiha…

The person who suffered the most injuries in this battle was Uchiha Madara, because he was the one who fought Akihara Kagura the longest.

The newcomer was none other than the Sage of Six Paths!

this moment…

Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't stand idly by!

He originally thought Akihara Kagura was an ordinary ninja, but it turned out that Akihara Kagura was a terrifying extraterrestrial. His schemes, the power he displayed, and his attitude towards the ninja world were all more dangerous than his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya!

The revelation of such a powerful ninja at this moment meant that even the Sage of Six Paths' remaining chakra could not be ignored. Using Madara Uchiha's remains as a coordinate, and disregarding the fact that his own chakra was almost depleted, he instantly teleported to the present world!

"Grandpa Rokudo!"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly calmed down!

However, Sasuke Uchiha was not as naive as his friend. Looking at the Sage of Six Paths who had appeared, he asked in a deep voice, "Sage of Six Paths, what should we do now?"

"I'll try to get everyone together..."

The Sage of Six Paths gazed at all the ninjas present and calmly said, "Together with Mother, we will eliminate the threat posed by Akihara Kagura..."

"This was my oversight. I originally thought Akihara Kagura was just an ordinary ninja. I just didn't notice his appearance and never saw through his darkness..."

"Before that..."

The Sage of Six Paths' gaze slowly fell upon Kakashi Hatake. Looking into Kakashi's eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Your power can be even greater… that little guy named Kakashi Hatake, please come here for a moment!"

Everyone else present had reached their limit, except for Kakashi Hatake, who had transplanted a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan and possessed a bloodline limit, so there was still some possibility of improvement.

Kakashi Hatake extended his palm and touched the palm of the Sage of Six Paths. He suddenly felt his eye power being greatly enhanced!

This is a gift from the Sage of Six Paths!

Kakashi Hatake felt that he could activate the Complete Body Susanoo, and even the power of Kamui had been enhanced. He could even use Kamui without limit like Obito had done before!

it is a pity…

This power can be easily contained…

Because Akihara Kagura's abilities are extremely effective against space-time ninjas.

but…

This cannot be entirely called useless.

Because Akihara Kagura's sealing barrier will also dissipate, and once it dissipates, that's when he can finally put it to good use!

"Now I only have a little bit of chakra left..."

After bestowing his chakra upon Kakashi Hatake, the Sage of Six Paths swept his gaze over everyone present and said in a deep voice, "I will gather all the ninjas who have ever appeared in this world, concentrate their chakra, and send you all to Mother's hiding place to work together with her to resolve this imminent crisis..."

"What do you mean?"

Naruto Uzumaki was still a little confused.

next moment!

The Sage of Six Paths raised his palm!

Countless illusory figures appeared beside the Sage of Six Paths!

These are all the ninjas in the ninja world who have ever used chakra. All those who possess chakra have their souls summoned to the mortal world at this moment. Even those ninjas resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique have been summoned at this moment!

The moment these ninjas came into contact with the Sage of Six Paths' chakra, they learned the reason for his summoning them, and they also realized the crisis facing the ninja world!

"Dad! Mom!"

Naruto Uzumaki even saw his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, and his father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, who had died after resealing the Nine-Tails inside him!

Minato Namikaze, this father, experienced much in his short life; he died twice, each time having a profound impact on his son…

Her first death led to her son, Naruto Uzumaki, becoming the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, plunging Naruto into a life shrouded in darkness...

After dying a second time and being resurrected by Obito Uchiha's Rinne Rebirth, Minato Namikaze sealed the other half of the Nine-Tails within Naruto Uzumaki's body when the Nine-Tails was stolen from him, thus sustaining Naruto's life...

This father…

He finally achieved his wish upon his second death.

Minato Namikaze returned to the Pure Land of the Underworld and met his wife, Kushina Uzumaki. He also finally sacrificed his life for the child he had wronged.

Minato Namikaze was a little taken aback.

Just as he and Kushina Uzumaki were reunited in the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths pulled them back to the mortal world. He and Kushina stood among the crowd, looking at their son with bright, sunny smiles on their faces.

"Naruto..."

"Mom and Dad..."

Naruto clenched his fists. He never imagined that he would see them again, even if it was only their souls!

"..."

Kakashi Hatake silently watched the group of souls.

As a ninja who was constantly losing people, Kakashi Hatake encountered almost everyone who was extremely important to him in the crowd.

A middle-aged man who looked and dressed somewhat like Kakashi Hatake smiled kindly when he saw Kakashi: "I was worried I wouldn't see you again for apologizing... Kakashi..."

This middle-aged man's name is Hatake Sakumo. He also has another identity: Hatake Kakashi's father. He committed suicide when Hatake Kakashi was five years old, almost casting a shadow over Hatake Kakashi's entire life...

In order to see his son one last time, Sakumo Hatake remained in the Pure Land of the Underworld and the Rift of the Dead, waiting for his son. Unexpectedly, he was summoned directly to the mortal world by the Sage of Six Paths and was even able to contribute his power to his child.

"Hey, Kakashi!"

After Obito Uchiha died, his soul reverted to the form of a young boy. Standing next to Sakumo Hatake, he shouted, "Don't be so discouraged! Cheer up a bit!"

"Go for it, Kakashi!"

Nohara Rin loudly cheered on her friend.

"good…"

The gloom in Kakashi Hatake's heart finally dissipated, and a glimmer of spirit returned to his expression. He forced a smile, supporting the souls of his two friends.

"Sister, keep it up!"

A chubby-faced boy's childish voice echoed in Tsunade's ears; he even spotted Orochimaru beside him: "And Orochimaru-sensei, do your best too!"

A white-haired ninja stood beside the boy and said softly, "Tsunade, you are the best medical ninja. Keep up the good work..."

"Rope Tree...broken..."

Tsunade looked at her younger brother and her former lover, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

"Rope Tree..."

Orochimaru looked at the chubby boy, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

Just as Orochimaru was pondering this, two familiar souls appeared before them. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked somewhat serious: "Orochimaru, Tsunade, you two are my most outstanding disciples..."

"Orochimaru, kill that brat..."

Standing beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura's face still bore the hatred for Kagura Akihara: "That brat used us as pawns, and even filled the Root organization that I founded with my own hands with Uchiha clans. We must not let him get away with this..."

"Hey, what's wrong with the Uchiha?!"

A voice appeared beside Danzo Shimura.

A man wearing a headband looked at Shimura Danzo, with a group of Uchiha men in uniform bearing the Uchiha clan mark standing behind him.

The sheer number of Uchiha souls in this group…

Their line stretched so far that you couldn't even see the end of it!

Over the millennia, countless Uchiha have been born in this ninja clan, and their souls reside in the Pure Land of the Underworld. If they were not to be seen, that would be one thing, but now they have been summoned here by the Sage of Six Paths, allowing them to see the two people they hate the most!

"Itachi's here!"

"Danzo is here too!"

"Itachi Uchiha and Danzo are both here!"

A group of Uchiha shouted for their clansmen who died on the night of the massacre and came together, making the entire sea surface noisy. Fortunately, a figure stopped them!

"Let's have some quiet time..."

Uchiha Shisui once saved some of his Uchiha relatives on the night of the massacre and gave the Uchiha clan a new place to live. He was very prestigious in front of these people.

Uchiha Shisui's spirit was also summoned here. His expression was solemn as he said, "Now is not the time for quarrels and revenge, but to resolve the crisis in the ninja world. Your loved ones are still being deceived!"

"..."

The Uchiha who wanted revenge fell silent.

"pity…"

One of the Uchiha clan members sighed softly, "Now that we're all dead, there's no time to hold a clan meeting to discuss how to deal with Uchiha Itachi..."

The end of these Uchiha souls.

Itachi's soul looked at the two souls standing in front of him with some pain. Sasuke stood beside them, his gaze fixed on the couple.

"Dad... Mom..."

Sasuke Uchiha took a deep breath, forcing himself to hide his vulnerability, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I thought I was strong enough, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even protect your peace, and that I would have to disturb your rest at this time..."

"Sasuke!"

Fugaku Uchiha's soul shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Sasuke, you are already good enough. Don't be too hard on yourself!"

"Sasuke, don't overwork yourself..."

Mikoto Uchiha smiled and comforted her youngest son, then looked at her eldest son, "Itachi, don't blame yourself too much. Didn't we agree?"

"Itachi".

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This is our narrow-mindedness. There's no point in saying anything now. Let's cherish this last reunion! If we lose this battle, the souls in the Pure Land of the Underworld will not be able to rest in peace..."

"..."

The entire sea area was bustling for a while, then gradually quieted down.

These long-dead souls knew it was not the time for reminiscing, so they quietly looked at the Sage of Six Paths who had summoned them.

"snort…"

The leader of the Uchiha clan seems to have some dissatisfaction with the Sage of Six Paths.

Standing among the Senju clan was a simple-minded man: "Brother, we've been dead for a thousand years, and our chakra has been battling for a thousand years. Isn't this about the end?"

These are Indra and Asura.

For a thousand years, it has only been their chakra that has been reincarnated, not their souls.

"..."

The Sage of Six Paths glanced at the souls of his two sons, seemingly shaking his head helplessly. He slowly raised his palm, creating a massive void barrier on the sea surface, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, now all ninjas, please connect your chakra to the barrier I have drawn. I need to borrow your chakra to open a space leading to their battle and send all those involved in the fight there..."

"..."

All the spirits present raised their hands.

These countless ninjas since the birth of chakra have finally come together at this moment!

Countless glowing souls raised their hands, and countless hands touched the Sage of Six Paths' barrier, connecting their remaining chakra through the barrier!

"Everyone…"

Naruto Uzumaki watched as countless ninjas stretched out their hands, offering their chakra for the upcoming battle!

Among these people were ninjas he knew, and even his relatives…

but…

Most of them were ninjas he didn't recognize.

These ninjas, some familiar and some not, even separated by a thousand years, and many of whom would never have known each other, united in an unprecedented way at this moment for the life and death of the ninja world and for the same goal!

Naruto Uzumaki remembered Jiraiya's teachings, and his mind suddenly broadened. The pressure from Akihara Kagura's power vanished at that moment!

"Ninja..."

"It is possible to unite..."

"Ninja..."

"We are capable of mutual understanding!"

Naruto clenched his fists, his gaze falling on Sasuke Uchiha beside him!

"Hey, Sasuke!"

A determined look flashed across Naruto's face: "This time, we will definitely win!"

the other side

The center of heaven.

This is a space that belongs exclusively to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

There are six different spaces within this space, with the primordial space at the center. This space is connected to the other five spaces, which are distributed as desert, magma, ice, acid, and gravity.

The space here is completely controlled by Kaguya Otsutsuki. Each space has a castle and statue where Kaguya can live. She can absorb the chakra of those who use Infinite Tsukuyomi here to restore her own power!

This is her space.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki dared not bring Kagura Akihara into this space, because she was worried that this space could not protect her either, and she only wanted to stay here to hide for a while.

Yes.

To hide for a while.

Kaguya Otsutsuki knew very well that the space-time continuum was nothing more than a toy in the hands of people of their level. She could only hide in this space for a while, and Akihara Kagura would inevitably find her again.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki hid inside a spatial castle, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed herself down, thinking about how to escape from the hunters…

"Should we hide here?"

Black Zetsu sensed the unease in his mother's heart.

"cannot…"

Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly shook her head, still thinking about the image of Akihara Kagura shattering the All-Killing Ash Bones with a flick of her finger: "We need to find a way to leave this planet... He'll find this place sooner or later..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A pitch-black portal to another dimension quietly opened.

Akihara Kagura slowly stepped out of the portal.

Obviously...

Akihara Kagura arrived way too fast!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant, appearing in another desert space!

Akihara Kagura followed closely behind!

Just as Kaguya Otsutsuki arrived in the desert space, Akihara Kagura appeared in the desert as if by her shadow, looking up at Kaguya Otsutsuki in the sky.

even…

Akihara Kagura raised her hand and waved to her.

"Kaguya..."

Akihara Kagura smiled, but his eyes still betrayed a dangerous sense of shrewdness and certainty.

"Where do you think you can escape to?"

This story is about the Thousand-Year Blood War in the Ninja World!

We're finally reaching the end!
