Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 145 One Against a Thousand! (10,000-word chapter)

The howls of dawn echoed throughout the camp, accompanied by the sound of horns, and countless ninjas quickly assembled.

Even though many of them were still half asleep, they rushed out quickly and formed a square formation under the leadership of their respective captains.

The surprise attack by the Hidden Cloud Village was something everyone feared and worried about, and no one would be careless at this time.

"This is unbelievable."

After separating from Hikaru, he heard the explosions coming from the outer perimeter of the camp. He quickly ran to the area he was responsible for and soon found Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was already directing the troops to assemble.

"Captain Haori." Sarutobi Shinnosuke saw Haori running over and immediately bowed slightly.

Although he was much older than Yuri, he still maintained a great deal of respect for his superiors despite being a member of the Anbu, which was a significant difference from Kakashi and Asuma.

Yuzhi nodded and immediately asked without wasting any words, "What happened? Did the Cloud Ninja arrive?"

"Yes, they seem to have launched a full-scale attack, but based on past war experience, they may be covering the assault force's attack."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly shared the information he knew, and perhaps knowing that Hagoromo had no experience facing Kumogakure, he explained it in great detail.

"We don't know the exact location of the raiding force yet, but our Hyuga ninjas have spotted their movements, and they should be launching a full-scale attack now."

"Is that so?" Hagoromo nodded. "Did Jiraiya-senpai give any instructions?"

"Sir, this area is your responsibility." Sarutobi Shinnosuke paused for a moment, "In case of emergencies, you will be in charge of command and coordination. There is no need to consult Jiraiya-sama."

"Is that so?" Yuzhi nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go check things out up ahead."

"My lord, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at the haori in astonishment.

Even if his father didn't become Hokage, and he had Konohamaru and left the Anbu, he was still very clear that the power of the Hagoromo was unbelievably strong.

But at this moment, Yuzhi's meaning was crystal clear: it was far too risky for him to go and take a look, or even to fight the enemy alone!

Admittedly, doing so would definitely boost morale, and powerful ninjas have the qualifications and confidence to do so.

But there are so many people on the other side, and the main force is pressing forward directly!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Yuri smiled, patted Sarutobi's big son on the shoulder, and then laughed.

"Besides, you're more familiar with this place than I am. Jiraiya sent me here to take charge, wasn't his real purpose to have me deal with troubles like the one we're in now?"

If I had come earlier, I probably would have made some better arrangements. But it's safest to leave it to you now, isn't it?

"this"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke wanted to say something more, but Haori interrupted him at that moment.

"Also, you need to give me some confidence. At least believe in the mission that Jiraiya guy assigned me."

Having said that, Yuzhi said no more.

The sounds of battle outside grew louder, and more and more ninjas from their area had rushed to the front lines.

Hagoromo obviously couldn't stay here any longer, so he patted Sarutobi's eldest son on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke watched his retreating figure with some worry in his eyes, but in the end he sighed and then followed Haori's advice to handle the follow-up arrangements.

"Haori?"

"Why are you here?"

"Haori-sama?"

As Yuki arrived at the very front of this area, Asuma, Kai, and the others immediately noticed him.

It's quite interesting, really. That old man from the third generation was really ruthless, actually sending his two eldest sons to the front lines.

Although there are quite a few members in the Sarutobi clan, if something goes wrong, the old man will lose both of his sons.

That's how it is in the original work.

"Follow Shinnosuke's orders and don't cause any trouble, understand?"

Yuzhi glanced at them, then nodded to them. He then accelerated again, crossing the first defensive zone and heading towards the main force of the Cloud Village!

"This is too reckless!"

Upon seeing this, Akai immediately tried to follow, but Asuma grabbed him.

"You're being too reckless! Didn't you hear what Yuzhi said?"

"But."

"No buts, we'll just follow orders."

Asuma also felt that Haori was being somewhat reckless, but he really couldn't say anything about it.

The outer perimeter is so dangerous right now; if they rush out, they'll be courting death. Listening to his good older brother's arrangements is clearly the best option.

Besides, Yuzhi is the commander here, even though he always felt that Yuzhi was sometimes unreliable.

But just believe in the haori, why make so many other reasons?

Does this guy's miracle and his current status in Konoha need to be questioned?

"Sir, someone is charging towards us all by themselves."

On the opposite side, next to the Cloud Village commander in charge of the main attack on this area, a sensory ninja suddenly spoke up.

"one person?"

The Cloud Shadow Commander murmured something, then walked forward and quickly reached the front of the formation, looking into the distance.

Dust and sand swirled in the howling wind, and amidst the roar of countless ninjutsu, kunai, and explosive tags, he seemed to see a figure rushing quickly to the middle.

Although he couldn't see the person's face clearly, he could strangely sense the confidence and composure emanating from them.

"Where did this lunatic come from, actually walking towards us all by himself?"

The Cloud Shadow Commander cursed under his breath. Although the feeling was absurd, he felt he still needed to take it seriously.

"Everyone get ready, just kill him. Since he wants to die, we have no reason not to grant his wish."

"yes!"

Under the order, many Cloud Village ninjas immediately turned their guns around, and in an instant, countless kunai and ninjutsu came hurtling towards him!

"Are they here?"

As Yuki listened to the whistling wind, his mind remained calm, but his chakra was constantly circulating throughout his body, and his eyes turned crimson.

Looking at the overwhelming kunai and the various colored ninjutsu, Yuzhi took a deep breath, and at that moment his speed increased significantly!

boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, sending up clouds of dust, accompanied by a series of deafening blasts!

The sheer number of explosive tags and countless ninjutsu combined created a terrifying power; the earth trembled violently amidst the deafening roar.

"Oh no!"

"What on earth is Haori doing?"

From Konoha's direction, Asuma and the others were stunned, unable to see any trace of Hagoromo.

"Don't be afraid, Lady Hagoromo has dodged it."

The Hyuga ninja on the side, however, appeared very calm. His eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and his words made everyone breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"What a lunatic! Looks like he can't handle the pressure. Let's continue!"

There was no disapproval from the Cloud Hidden side; the commander who saw this scene wore a cold smile.

He originally thought there would be something special, but it turned out to be just this?

"Sir! He's not dead!"

However, at that moment, the sensory ninja's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately shouted a warning.

"Um?"

The Cloud Village commander was slightly taken aback. In an instant, countless kunai, flashing with a cold light, suddenly flew out from the dust and attacked the Cloud Village like a torrential rain!

The next moment, Yuzhi's figure also rushed out of the dust, still moving quickly towards Yunyin!

"They...they're completely unharmed?"

All the Cloud Hidden Ones were shocked and bewildered at this moment. They seemed to have no idea how this person could remain completely unharmed after such a barrage of attacks!

A cold smile appeared on Yuzhi's lips. Under such power, even if Susanoo was activated, the outcome would definitely not be good.

Of course, the fifth stage is an exception, but why waste chakra when Hagoromo clearly has a better method?

At the moment of the explosion, he used Flying Thunder God to escape. If it weren't for the Byakugan watching him from behind, he could have used Kamui without any problems!

With Flying Thunder God and Kamui, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless if you can't hit them.

"That was so much fun just now, now it's my turn."

Seeing that the kunai she had shot out was almost in front of the Iwagakure position, Yuri instantly formed hand seals.

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Pay attention to these kunai, what are they for?"

The moment the Cloud Hidden Commander spoke, he immediately noticed that the speed of the Feathered Robe had increased significantly!

In just a moment, his sprinting speed actually caught up with the kunai he had shot out, and in an instant he had rushed to the front of the Cloud Hidden Formation.

"You're too slow to react!"

The kaleidoscopes in Haori's eyes spun rapidly, and a cold, destructive chakra emanated from his body, causing the chakra giant to soar into the sky.

hum-

Having reached the front lines, Susanoo suddenly drew his long sword, and in the next instant, a suffocating force enveloped the Cloud Village ninja!

"You are... Uchiha Hotaru?"

The Fourth Raikage looked at the light that had just arrived and a sneer appeared on his lips.

No one knew the area he raided, but by sheer coincidence, he chose the defense zone under the command of the Light.

He also knew some information about Hikari, such as that she was Uchiha Haori's childhood friend and fiancée, and that she possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Therefore, although he may seem disdainful now, he has become wary in his heart.

In the original work, this guy behaves like a brute, and he likes to use force to threaten others in order to achieve his goals.

However, the essence of every one of his goals was for the sake of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

For example, the position of the Allied Shinobi Forces Commander-in-Chief during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Anyone with a brain can figure out how much benefit this position would bring to him and Yunyin after the war.

In fact, that's how it should have gone, since there were rogue ninjas everywhere in the Akatsuki organization, except for Kumogakure.

But alas, Konoha has a cheat code.

"So it was you, you lunatic."

After just one glance around, she realized that this so-called Cloud Shadow Assault Team must be this group of people, and that they had come to her location!

This made her snort coldly, and her gaze toward the Fourth Raikage became somewhat dangerous.

"Your performance was bad enough three years ago, and you still look just as bad now."

"Since you've brought up three years ago, let's settle that score from three years ago!"

The Fourth Raikage didn't waste any words. With a cold snort, he charged towards the light like a bullet!

That terrifying speed would have been impossible for anyone else to react to.

Unfortunately, his speed was still nothing in the eyes of light.

With a slight turn of her body, she easily dodged the Fourth Raikage's fist crackling with electricity, and then kicked him hard in the stomach!

"Um?"

However, Ran Guang raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing that the Fourth Raikage's body seemed somewhat stiff.

The Fourth Raikage seemed to have realized what was happening, and he quickly turned and threw another punch at the light.

Feeling the terrifying force of the punch, Hikari let out a soft snort. In an instant, red chakra appeared on her body, and her skeletal ribs quickly covered her, creating a giant arm in an instant.

"boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the Konoha camp, causing the ground to tremble. Many ninjas were unable to even stand properly.

Moreover, the force of the shockwave blew many ninjas away, snapped trees instantly, and caused some nearby buildings to collapse!

Such a terrifying scene naturally attracted the attention of all the fighting ninjas, and both sides stopped and looked in this direction at the same time.

"Susanoo, that's a really powerful technique."

The Fourth Raikage whispered, but perhaps because of his previous lesson, he kept his head down and didn't look at the light.

He was instantly affected by an illusion last time, but that taught him a lesson.

"Not bad strength, but it seems that's all you're capable of."

Hikari didn't pay attention to the Fourth Raikage's actions. Her eyes flickered slightly, and in an instant, the power of Susanoo surged.

Under immense force, the Fourth Raikage was violently pushed away, and the surrounding ninjas quickly cleared the air to create space for them.

"Since we're here, let's have some fun playing a game."

Hikari glanced at the alert Fourth Raikage, then looked to the other side, where Haori was.

"How dare you spout such nonsense!"

The Fourth Raikage roared, but his expression changed slightly the next moment because he felt the earth trembling violently and a force that was making him rise up wildly!

He turned around abruptly and suddenly saw a giant rampaging wildly in the distance, which was the main force of the Cloud Village!

"What I mean is, as you've seen, Yuge is already facing your main force from Kumogakure."

Hikaru didn't know if it was because he had been spending a lot of time with Haori, or if it was because his Uchiha clan nature had come out.

Her Susanoo spread rapidly, quickly forming the second stage of Susanoo.

She stood quietly within Susanoo, arms crossed, her gaze coldly fixed on the Fourth Raikage.

"The game begins now. Either you die, or your entire army dies!"

Without wasting a word, the blood-red second-stage Susanoo instantly unleashed its attack.

The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth, and in an instant, his entire body shimmered with the light of lightning.

"Lightning Release: Chakra Mode!"

-

hum-

The highly concentrated blade swung down suddenly, its extremely sharp cutting force instantly piercing through the Cloud Hidden Army.

Under the sweeping force of this power, the hundred Cloud Ninja closest to the Hagoromo were the first to be hit, and were instantly struck by this powerful force.

They were unable to put up an effective resistance; their skin would burst open violently, and they would fall down, bleeding profusely.

Either they were cut in half, and they were dead beyond any doubt!

Those who were a little further away were even more unlucky; perhaps they hadn't been seriously injured and therefore hadn't died completely.

But the horrific screams and splattered blood filled the hearts of those behind with terror!

hum-

Ignoring the carnage, Yuzhi's eyes darted around, and taking advantage of the moment when Kumogakure was completely stunned, he once again controlled Susanoo to swing his sword fiercely.

boom!

With the blessing of "God's Blessing", the power of the sequel intensified once again, and that surging slash even caused cracks to appear in the earth!

"As expected, without the blessing of the Dragon Vein's Sage Art and without the assistance of the Tailed Beast's Chakra, my power has decreased by more than half."

While controlling Susanoo, Hagoromo was also secretly calculating her current situation.

Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but shake his head when he actually played it.

"But that's good too. The fact that there's a gap means I still have potential, and I can take it slowly."

Yuzhi thought to himself, besides, his own skills also needed to be honed.

Even when using those external forces, he also longed for his 'true strength' to be improved!

With that in mind, Yuri increased the force of her attack. Although she couldn't reach the level of "Uchiha Madara", using "God's Naoki" could still make her attack more powerful.

This can be considered as making up for some of his shortcomings. In fact, even without making up for them, his strength was already sufficient.

Unfortunately, he simply doesn't lack eye power!

A black giant, several meters tall, rampaged through the Cloud Village forces. Every time he swung his long sword, it stirred up dozens of feet of yellow sand, and countless ninjas were thrown into the air.

The Cloud Village's forces were being decimated very quickly, and Hagoromo was positioned too far forward and her attacks were too fierce.

This left them with no time to even think about retaliating; how could they possibly fight back when they couldn't even dodge these attacks?

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?"

Seeing the haori wreaking havoc, the Cloud Village commander's face turned deathly pale.

However, as a commander, he knew he had to remain calm.

He quickly got up and fired a signal flare into the sky before shouting his orders.

"Scatter! His technique renders him immobile. Use ninjutsu to restrict his movement and wait for reinforcements!"

It has to be said that this guy's reaction speed is indeed fast; in just a moment, he seems to have discovered the problem with the third stage of Susanoo.

He immediately gave a loud command, and at the same time, he began to form hand seals.

"Earth Release: Clay Descends from Heaven!"

With a roar of chakra, the sky above Susanoo distorted, and a large amount of clay fell from nowhere, covering the giant Susanoo.

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

Some Cloud Village members skilled in Earth Release immediately noticed the problem and quickly coordinated to use Earth Release to trap Hagoromo.

Thanks to their efforts, the ground beneath Yuzhi's feet had become a muddy mess, and he seemed to be truly trapped there!

"As expected, monsters with only half a body are incapable of moving."

The Cloud Village commander's face lit up with joy upon seeing this.

"As long as he continues to use this monstrous power, he will remain trapped. But once he stops using it, our chance will come!"

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke up again.

"Everyone, prepare your ninjutsu! Kill this guy!"

"You reacted pretty quickly. It seems I underestimated you. You found the weakness of the third stage Susanoo so quickly."

Looking at the large group of Cloud Ninja who had spread out, and then at the swamp beneath his feet that seemed to sink deeper the more he struggled, he suddenly chuckled softly.

"You bastard, while I admit you're formidable, you're doomed to die today!"

The Cloud Village commander roared, and the surviving Cloud Ninjas all around glared angrily at Yuzhi.

They were also quite disheveled from Yuzhi's attack. They didn't know how many of their friends and teammates had died. How could they not feel angry?

"Don't look at me like that. If you hadn't started the war, we wouldn't be facing this situation."

Yuzhi, however, didn't seem to care at all. Perhaps he had been impersonating Madara Uchiha for too long, because he also liked to use "mental attacks."

"You brought this trouble upon yourselves, yet you blame it on us. You Cloud Village people are truly incompetent."

"Shut up and die!"

The Cloud Village commander dared not let Yugi continue spouting nonsense; if she did, the Cloud Village would soon begin to doubt and question the Raikage's decision.

With a loud roar, thousands of Cloud Ninjas around him simultaneously unleashed their ninjutsu or threw kunai with explosive tags attached.

In an instant, flames, lightning, storms, and water blades swept across the sky. Even if each one was not very powerful, the sheer number of them was astonishing.

Although these ninjutsu techniques varied in quality, with some being only the most basic ones, such a large-scale collection of ninjutsu techniques had long since undergone a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

The damage they can cause when they interbreed is unimaginable, and every defense has its critical point; once that point is exceeded, tragedy is inevitable.

Yuki simply watched all of this calmly, as if he didn't take these ninjutsu seriously at all, and he also had no intention of strengthening Susanoo for the time being.

He simply smiled calmly, then asked a question: "After all this fighting, you still don't recognize who I am?"

"You'll just be a dead man!"

The Cloud Village commander didn't pay any attention to what Yui said, but he still subconsciously took a closer look at Yui before the ninjutsu covered her.

"This is."

Almost instantly, the Cloud Shadow Commander felt as if time had stopped, and his blood felt as if it had gone cold.

He hadn't really thought much about that young, handsome face or how to use that power at first; he was only thinking about how to solve the problem.

But in that instant, he seemed to realize something, and he felt as if his breath was about to stop.

No wonder he charged in unscathed, no wonder he dared to charge in alone.

So, this person is...

"Uchiha Hagoromo? Oh no!"

However, it was all too late.

Just as the massive amount of ninjutsu was about to engulf Haori, Haori's figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

"Susanoo: Flying Thunder God Slash!"

When he reappeared, he had completely avoided the massive ninjutsu attacks.

As the ninjutsu caused a violent rumble on the earth, the Susanoo on the haori's body instantly became even larger.

Meanwhile, Susanoo's ninja sword slashed into the sea of ​​people from the flank once more!

"You dare to come before me, you're really asking for death."

While Hagoromo was wreaking havoc, Shisui was leading the Konoha ninja against Yugito's forces.

He locked onto the two Jinchūriki almost immediately, and with a mindset of not letting them go, he instantly engaged Yugito in battle.

Looking at Yugito, whose entire body was now enveloped in Tailed Beast chakra after being beaten, Shisui shook his head indifferently.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. You Cloud Village people are destined to lose this time. No matter how much you struggle, your fate is already sealed."

"Who do you think you are?"

Yugito glared angrily at Shisui, but just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt the earth shaking violently!

In an instant, she quickly looked into the distance and saw a huge Susanoo appearing and disappearing in the distance.

It seemed to be flashing, constantly shuttling within the Cloud Hidden Army!

"this"

"That's Haori-senpai."

Shisui flicked the short sword in his hand and spoke coldly.

"When he storms into your ranks, it's all over. And don't even think about going back to reinforce, because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shisui's figure flashed and he appeared in front of Yugito in an instant!

"Since you have to stay here, and to avoid you causing any more trouble with your tailed beast transformation, you should get some quiet sleep."

hum-

Shisui's eyes emitted a strange energy, and under the influence of this energy, even Yugito, who was a Jinchūriki, became shaky.

At this moment, in Yugito's mind, only Shisui's kaleidoscope eyes spun endlessly—

"Not bad, this chakra pattern works very well, but it seems you haven't mastered it yet, otherwise even I would have some difficulty dealing with it."

"Damn it!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Hikaru watched the Fourth Raikage with a leisurely air, tormenting him like a hunter toying with its prey.

The Fourth Raikage is ridiculously strong, but the current Fourth Raikage has clearly not yet reached the level described in the original work, where he only relies on physical reflexes to dodge Amaterasu.

His speed is fast, but not fast enough to be unstoppable; his strength is great, but not enough to shatter Susanoo.

While his Lightning Release Chakra Mode is powerful, as Hikaru said, it is far from being at its peak, and it cannot cause Hikaru much trouble.

All Guang needs to do is block his escape route and prevent him from having any chance to break through!

In this area, the Konoha ninjas are all very shrewd.

After discovering the ferocity of the light, besides lamenting that "the goddess is nothing special," they quickly surrounded the Cloud Village ninjas.

They also noticed the trembling of the earth and saw Yuzhi's figure, which resembled a demon, flashing continuously among the Cloud Hidden Army in the distance.

They knew that as long as they could hold off the Fourth Raikage and not interfere with Hagoromo's battle, everything would become exceptionally simple!

"This can't go on, we can't let this woman stop us!"

The Fourth Raikage felt the earth still trembling, and he knew he had to leave.

Whether it's reinforcing the main force or handling the aftermath, staying here won't do him anything but worry.

He had considered attacking the surrounding Konoha ninjas to try and escape.

The problem is that this woman in front of him is fast enough to keep up with him, and even if he can't, he can cover her with the attack range of that Susanoo.

This made the Fourth Raikage feel extremely frustrated, but he had no other choice but to take a desperate gamble!

Looking at the light that seemed to be waiting for him, his gaze began to darken, and the next moment he suddenly rushed out!

He has to give it his all, otherwise who knows what will happen in the end.

A terrifying power gathered around him, and in an instant he had rushed to the front of the Light Susanoo.

"So eager to die? Fine, I'll grant your wish."

However, Hikari remained calm, but in that instant, a terrifying Amaterasu flame erupted, silently covering her blood-red Susanoo and the pitch-black Amaterasu!

"Oh no."

The terrifyingly hot flames immediately changed the Fourth Raikage's expression, and he had already thrown a punch.

But the next instant, his expression turned serious, and the lightning chakra emanating from his body became even more violent.

"Let's see what this damn chakra monster is all about."

The force of his fist seemed to increase, and the terrifying arcs of electricity continued to surge across his body!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, and his punch slammed into the Susanoo of Light.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Torture Horizontal Dance!"

The terrifying power was fully unleashed at this moment, although Chiyo Mai mostly released it through hand chop techniques.

However, in the original work, he cooperated with the Third Tsuchikage to use this move with his fist, and cracked Madara Uchiha's Susanoo with one blow!

Unfortunately, he didn't have the Third Tsuchikage to cooperate with him at this time, and he hadn't reached his limit.

However, this almost desperate strike caused deep cracks to appear on Susanoo's body, and Susanoo even showed signs of collapsing!

However, the hand he used to attack was also stained with the black flames.

"what!"

He completely disregarded everything and wanted to continue his attack, but the next moment his body stiffened slightly.

"Pretty good, but is this all you can do?"

Hikaru looked calmly at the Fourth Raikage, then shook her head slightly.

"Looks like you lost the game."

As soon as she finished speaking, the huge crack on Susanoo's body was quickly repaired as her eyes spun.

Moreover, the Susanoo on her body had also become considerably larger.

"No wonder Madara Uchiha was able to single-handedly wipe out the entire Iwagakure army; were they really that outrageous?"

Jiraiya and Kakashi successfully withstood the attack from the Cloud Village. Moreover, the Cloud Village seemed to have received some signal and quickly retreated, which further reduced the pressure on them.

This puzzled Jiraiya and Kakashi for a moment, but when they caught up a little, they saw the enormous creature that was constantly flashing within the Cloud Village army.

At that moment, they seemed to understand something. Not only them, but Sarutobi Shinnosuke was also preparing to reinforce Hagoromo at any time, along with Asuma, Guy, and others.

But when they saw all this, their minds suddenly started buzzing: Who are we? Where are we? What are we supposed to do?

"Dude, it seems like we're not even needed here, right?"

After watching for a while, Asuma suddenly spoke up helplessly.

"That guy is exaggerating."

"Don't think that just because you're friends with Lady Hagoromo, you can be so casual."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was also completely bewildered. The thought of organizing troops to provide reinforcements suddenly made him blush.

If I go there, wouldn't I just be causing trouble for Yuzhi?

The reason why Yuri can fight so freely now is because he is surrounded by enemies, and he can do whatever he wants without any scruples.

If I were to go with people, things would really get really bad.

"Tch, even the haori doesn't care, what are you pretending for?"

Asma pursed his lips, looked at everything in the distance, and after a while he simply took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

He then took out a lighter and lit it, smoke billowing around him. After a moment, he gave a bitter laugh.

"Well, it seems the war is coming to an end."

-

The combination of Flying Thunder God and Susanoo was a combat method that Hagoromo had thought of long ago, but he had never had the opportunity to do it before.

Now, he can make all of this happen without any restraint!

Before the battle, he deliberately threw out a large number of kunai and also used the Hand Sword Shadow Clone Technique.

Although he didn't need to do that at all, he could have simply buried a large number of Wood Release seeds bearing the Flying Thunder God mark underground.

"It's a pity that Hyuga's people are here. If they see us, it will be hard to explain."

Haori was hoping to run into the Hyuga clan this time, especially Hyuga Hiashi and his group, but now he was also somewhat annoyed by their existence.

But it doesn't really matter, it's just a few kunai, a haori is acceptable.

"Be careful of his kunai; you must dispose of it immediately!"

With its feathers and Susanoo, the Cloud Village ninja moved like ghosts through every corner, and the Cloud Village ninja clearly noticed the problem.

In particular, the Cloud Village commander kept roaring while dodging the attacks from the Hagoromo, reminding the other ninjas who were somewhat disoriented from being hit how to deal with the situation.

Moreover, while giving warnings, this guy was also constantly using ninjutsu to try to lock onto and attack Hagoromo.

Unfortunately, the kunai that the haori was throwing were so densely packed that they couldn't be locked onto by ordinary ninjutsu.

Moreover, Yuri's Susanoo had already reached the fourth stage at this time!

Boom, boom, boom—

The roar continued, and one second Susanoo was on the left, but the next second Susanoo was already on the flank.

With each strike, the earth trembled violently, and with each blow, countless lives were taken.

"It's too big... the gap is too big. Can we really defeat this monster?"

A ninja, lost in thought, watched as his comrades fell one by one, powerless to stop it, fear creeping into his heart.

This fear quickly spread to the others, and the other ninjas around him also showed expressions of being lost in thought, fear, or blankness.

Finally, the longsword in the hand of a ninja fell to the ground, and he collapsed to his knees in a daze and helplessness.

Immediately afterwards, more and more ninjas began to stop struggling.

Even the Cloud Ninja who had returned as reinforcements could feel the helplessness and struggle at this moment.

No matter how many people there are, no matter what they do, they cannot reverse the situation; they can only watch helplessly as they are killed.

It could be the long sword falling, or the energy shockwave spreading outwards.

"Can this really be won?"

"We're not even from the same dimension."

"Is this really something a ninja could do...?"

"I don't want to die... Someone please save me..."

"Damn it, why does such a monster exist?!"

Despair had completely spread among all the Cloud Village members; they had no idea how to fight.

They were all ninjas; they were not afraid to face enemies, but they were afraid of encountering enemies who were completely beyond their comprehension.

Clearly, this was the reality before their eyes. How could they not be devastated by a battle that was completely beyond their comprehension?

"Don't give up! We are ninjas from Kumogakure, we absolutely cannot give up now!"

The commander inside the Hidden Cloud Village continued to shout desperately, trying to awaken everyone's fighting spirit, but this approach was not very effective.

However, their struggles were heard by Yuzhi, who simply stopped using Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport.

This battle was obviously much simpler and easier than the last one against Iwagakure, as there were no Akatsuki members, no Jinchuriki, and no Raikage to interfere.

Yuzhi guessed that they most likely ran into Hikari and Shisui, but was meeting the two of them really lucky?

"I'm afraid it's unfortunate, after all, those two aren't much worse than me."

Yuki stood within Susanoo, coldly looking down at the numb Cloud Ninja.

He really felt like he was piloting a Strike Gundam, only to turn around and ambush a group of human infantry; the resulting carnage was simply unimaginable.

"He's stopped moving. This is an opportunity! Don't give up!"

"Stand up! Not resisting is just waiting to die. Everything will be alright as long as we wait for Lord Raikage to return!"

Seeing that Yui had suddenly stopped, the commanders of the Cloud Village immediately tried to rekindle the fighting spirit of the troops.

Is it worth it?

However, Yuzhi simply shook her head slightly and then asked.

"Is it really worth risking so many lives for a fantasy that demands no restraint?"

And this war was started by you; don't try to portray yourselves as victims. You're not worthy of that title.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"If your Konoha hadn't killed our envoy, how could this war have broken out?"

"You're the ones who deserve to die!"

The commanders of the Cloud Village roared, their chakra gathering as they stared at the haori.

"Everyone get ready, take him down, and the war will be over!"

Under their constant roars, the Cloud Village ninjas numbly raised their heads, though a certain longing still lingered in their hearts.

"Yeah?"

Yuzhi sighed softly, then his eyes darted around rapidly.

"Perhaps my stopping has given you some unnecessary illusions, but you have indeed misunderstood me."

As he spoke, the chakra on Yuzhi's body suddenly increased again, and his Susanoo began to grow rapidly with the help of this chakra.

When those sky-covering wings appeared behind Susanoo, and armor and helmet completely covered his body, an extremely cold aura spread throughout the entire battlefield!

"He's gotten so much shorter?"

As Yuri sensed the current height of Susanoo, he couldn't help but mentally complain.

When he was impersonating Madara Uchiha, his Susanoo was almost 250 meters long, but now he can't even reach 200 meters.

Even so, the moment Susanoo appeared, it truly and utterly shattered everyone's spirits.

In that instant, even the Cloud Village commanders who still retained their fighting spirit fell silent.

They stared blankly at the giant before them, who resembled a demon, and felt the aura of utter death. They were completely speechless.

"I stopped for only one purpose: to end your suffering."

Yuri stood with his arms crossed inside the crystal chamber above Susanoo's head, looking indifferently at everything below, then chuckled softly.

"You are nothing but grains of sand, not even a fraction as good as me. Do you really think you can dance before me?"

His voice was soft, but at that moment it was clearly heard by everyone.

At that very moment, two towering Susanoo also appeared from the other two directions of the Konoha camp, forming a triangle that completely locked down these Cloud Village ninjas!

"Well then, goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuri's Susanoo slowly drew his ninja sword.

The next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from the smoke on the battlefield, the light seemingly about to shoot straight into the sky.

A deafening roar then erupted violently, the earth trembled violently, and aftershocks even spread for hundreds of miles!

Meanwhile, Obito and Black Zetsu, who were hidden in the alternate dimension, were completely stunned for a moment.
