Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

However, on the battlefield, just as Kaguya was about to deliver a powerful blow to the savior and the second male lead, Kakashi, with his winged Uchiha Giant, soared into the sky. Even more incredibly, controlling the Uchiha Giant was already a huge burden for Kakashi, who was severely lacking in chakra, but Kakashi's Giant was even more powerful than Madara's Shadow Clone Technique, as it could unleash Kamui, which was completely unreasonable.

Kaguya's close-range ultimate attack was instantly teleported away by Kakashi's Kamui. The incident happened so suddenly that even Kaguya was a little stunned.

"Armed! Get down here!"

Just as Kaguya was in a daze, her old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated, Masato saw a good opportunity and instantly appeared on Kaguya's head. Gritting his teeth, he delivered a heavy punch to her beautiful and charming face, which was so lovely that it was hard to bring oneself to hit her.

"Don't stand there, seal it quickly!..."

A powerful punch sent Kaguya flying high into the air. She turned around and looked at the still bewildered Savior and the second male lead with his pants down, offering a reminder.

These two brats were probably really scared by Kaguya's close-range attack just now; there were indeed some wet stains on the savior's crotch.

But there's nothing shameful about it. Kaguya's ultimate skill is so powerful that anyone caught off guard by it at point-blank range would be terrified. It's just a matter of how much water they drink...

"Oh... Six Paths. Planetary Devastation!"

After regaining their senses, the savior and the second male lead exchanged glances and simultaneously leaped high into the air, just as the Six Paths Elder and his younger brother had once done, combining the ultimate power of Yin and Yang to activate the final sealing technique.

"Boom!..."

"Hey, you old sly fox, still trying to slip away? Go back to your mother's arms and be a dutiful son!"

The sealing technique, which combines the ultimate Yin and Yang, is undeniably powerful. Even Kaguya, who had just regained her balance after being blasted away by Shinto's heavy punch, was unable to break free from the powerful force around her and could only watch as the savior and the second male lead sealed her away little by little.

However, just as Kaguya was about to be completely sealed away, the same old trick happened again. A black, liquid-like substance quietly slipped out from Kaguya's sleeve. Everyone's attention was focused on Kaguya, and no one noticed the black liquid. But while it could fool everyone else, it couldn't fool Shinto's Observation Haki. As the black liquid slipped to the ground, preparing to run away and plot its next big move to unseal her, a large foot stepped on it, picked it up, and then threw it towards Kaguya, who was about to be sealed away as the next moon.

Black Zetsu: "I will be back!!"

"Tch! ╭∩╮(′^ω^`)╭∩╮"

Shindou silently gave it to Black Zetsu, who had become the moon along with his mother, as a final farewell.

"Nephew, that's impressive! You can even pilot the Uchiha's ancestral mecha, with wings too. Why do villains always say that line? It's so unoriginal."

Shinto teased Kakashi, who was kneeling on the ground completely exhausted after unleashing the Uchiha's ancestral giant technique.

“…”

Kakashi was exhausted and said he didn't want to brag to this old guy. "Can't you see I'm still grieving over my best friend's death?"

"Oh my, you've become so popular that you can go toe-to-toe with Kaguya-sama, and now you're acting like you don't care about people anymore. Let me tell you, you can't have this kind of bad character. Your dad was so popular back then, but he was still approachable. Kid, that's the secret to being famous for decades."

Seeing that Kakashi, who was exhausted, was being ignored by his big name, Shinto felt it was necessary to teach his nephew some lessons. This guy had only been famous for less than a day and was already ignoring people. This kind of person would have to be dealt with sooner or later.

"...Let me...let me catch my breath...ヽ(ー_ー)ノ"

Kakashi, exhausted and lying on the ground, said irritably, "If I don't answer this old man soon, tomorrow I, Hatake Kakashi, will become Hatake Nichijou..."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but you're so young and your legs are already weak. Look at me, I'm quite old, and I'm still playing without even breaking a sweat. You should practice more when you have time..."

"Holy crap! Idol! You're still alive? That's amazing! Seeing you become Rokudo's mother, I thought I'd never see you again! I missed you so much!!!"

Just as Shinto was about to teach Kakashi a lesson, a small black dot appeared in the sky and was about to fall on his head. Shinto activated his Observation Haki and realized that it was Madara. Falling from such a height, it would be strange if it didn't turn into a meat sandwich.

He immediately flew up and touched his idol's body. Seeing that his idol was still breathing, he forced out a few tears of sadness and said to his idol as if his father had died.

In short, Madara is the most pitiful character. His only younger brother died, his beloved married the eldest princess of the Uzumaki clan and abandoned him, and he was deceived by Black Zetsu for most of his life. It's truly tragic and lamentable...

"Golden Lion's feelings for Uchiha Madara are so deep, he even cried..."

"Of course, I heard that Madara Uchiha was his idol when he was a child..."

"..."

Everyone watched as Mato, who was holding Madara and shedding a few tears reminiscent of 1982, avoided being moved by his sorrowful appearance.

To be fair, it's not quite right for Shiki to idolize Madara Uchiha, the big boss. After all, besides the evil Madara Uchiha, there was also the positive Hashirama Senju in that era. Yet Shiki idolized Madara Uchiha, this evil demon king.

But Shiki, at the crucial moment, showed great righteousness, stepping forward to save the ninja world from disaster and confronting his idol. His righteousness earned him their deep respect. Now that their idol is about to die, they are not lamenting his passing, crying as if their father has died, even more heartbroken than Hashirama Senju…

As expected of a loyal and righteous golden lion!

"Humph!"

Uncle Ban originally thought that the person who caught him was his best buddy. He was planning to have a flashback with his best buddy before he died, with some heartfelt dialogue that could be filmed for several episodes. But when he heard the voice of that fan he hated, he gave a haughty snort and turned his head away, indicating that he didn't want to argue with him.

1217. My idol! You have to hang in there!

Hey! Pretty arrogant...

"Idol! Hang in there! You haven't given me your autograph yet, and you haven't taken a picture with me. You can't just leave like this, Karin! Get the camera over here, let's take some pictures of me and my idol..."

Shinto chuckled when he saw Madara's arrogant and smug expression.

I never expected that the domineering and arrogant Ban would have this side to him. Suddenly, I remembered something important: he still doesn't seem to have an autograph or a photo with his idol. A true and loyal fan shouldn't be like this.

"One, two, three... Yamete...!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

When Karin pulled out her pink dress and came over, Masato helped the idol pose for photos in various ways....

"Damn it! Cough cough..."

Grandpa Ban had never felt so humiliated in his life. Overwhelmed with anger, he coughed up blood a few more times...

"spot!!!"

At this moment, Senju appeared, walking towards Madara with deep affection, tears welling in his eyes and a sorrowful expression. An outsider might have thought Tsunade's grandmother had been resurrected only to die again...

"Hashirama... cough cough!"

Madara ignored Masato's affectionate gaze as he looked at his best friend walking towards him, completely disregarding the little fan beside him.

"..."

Masato, who was initially engrossed in the moment, couldn't stand the stares from these two best friends. Having already gotten his photo with his idol, he voluntarily left, leaving the rest of the time to these two friends whose friendship had lasted for over half a century...

"Orochimaru, do you think we can still summon him after he dies this time?"

Shinto came to Orochimaru's side and, seeing the two best buddies talking so affectionately, whispered to Orochimaru.

If he could summon Madara, he'd ask Orochimaru for the Edo Tensei to study, and maybe even chat with his idol when he's bored...

"...It's hard to say. When Madara Uchiha transformed into the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, it was a true transformation. There was no trace of Madara Uchiha in the Sage of Six Paths' mother, but her vessel was definitely Madara Uchiha. As for whether his soul was affected after becoming a vessel, I don't know. Impure World Reincarnation cannot summon an incomplete soul."

Snake looked at Madara, who was lying in Senju's arms and whispering sweet nothings to him, and licked his lips with interest as he explained, though his gaze never left Madara.

It's important to understand that Madara's body served as the vessel for the progenitor of chakra, making it far more attractive to him than the Rinnegan. The Six Paths Sage's mother was too powerful to study, but if he could study Madara...

"You little brat, don't use the Impure World Reincarnation technique again. It disturbs the peace of the dead. You'll get your comeuppance someday."

Seeing the eager look in Shinto's eyes, the second master of the Senju clan said in an annoyed tone.

It wasn't that he was kindly reminding this little rascal; the key issue was that his older brother had been tricked by this little rascal into selling Tsunade to him. If this little rascal did too many despicable things and died one day, wouldn't that leave Tsunade a widow?

During his time in Konoha, he learned a lot about the situation in the years since his death from his three disciples. When he heard that Tsunade's fists were so big that no one dared to mess with her except for this little bastard for decades, and that she was now over fifty and still had an ambiguous relationship with this little bastard Shiki, and that Nawaki was still a single dog, and that the Fourth Hokage was two years younger than him and that his son had already become a big boss, he thought that this couldn't go on.

Although he and his older brother had almost completely destroyed the Senju clan by integrating the Senju members into the village, Tsunade and Nawaki were his older brother's bloodline, and they couldn't just let it end like that.

"Second Master, look at what you're saying. I'm just worried that my idol will be lonely in the underworld. You and I will have company down there. My idol's younger brother has been dead for decades. Maybe he'll be reincarnated soon. My idol will only encounter Uchiha clan grandchildren down there, and they won't even be on the same path. How boring!"

Masato chuckled and said.

......

"Sigh! There's something I told your father back then: life is like... just bear with it. In a couple of days, I'll have someone go to Konoha and bring you some deer antlers. That's how your father got through it back then."

In the 68th year of Konoha, within the Miyaretsu clan of Sunagakure, Shinto patted the shoulder of Sasori, a handsome young man who had become so haggard that he no longer resembled the most handsome man in the ninja world, and offered him words of comfort.

The Fourth Shinobi World War ended with a series of flashbacks and confessions between Madara and Senju, the two best buddies, before the Six Paths Elder led the Kage from various villages, summoned by Orochimaru, away.

This world war also caused huge losses to the Allied Shinobi Forces due to the resurrected dead. In addition, Obito summoned the God Tree at the end. The smaller ninja villages were better off, as they had fewer people and were mostly acting as cheerleaders, so their losses were not too great. However, the five major ninja villages and the Land of Iron, as the main core, suffered heavy losses in this war. Even Sunagakure, which had a good start and only encountered Shamon, was overwhelmed by Sasori's thousands of puppets and sealed away, and finally made it to the end, was almost crippled in the final battle when the God Tree was cut down. Due to geographical and resource issues, Sunagakure had fewer people than the other four major ninja villages. With this loss, almost half of their people were lost. When they returned to the village and counted the losses, Rasa almost wanted to follow his teacher and disappear.

The losses in this war far exceeded those of the three major wars the village had experienced combined. Most importantly, the losses of the chunin and genin were the greatest. After all, in a high-quality war like the Fourth Shinobi World War, chunin and genin were practically free experience points. Those with double red sticks could wipe out large numbers of them with a wave of their hand, and the kill count was skyrocketing.

At this time, Sunagakure was facing a severe shortage of Chunin and Genin. Even if the students of the Ninja Academy graduated two years early, they still couldn't make up for it. However, each village had the most C-rank and D-rank missions. The village needed to recover, but Rasa's Golden Sand Set couldn't do it alone. Moreover, now that all the villages in the ninja world needed to recover, resources were even more scarce than before. Just the resettlement expenses for the heroes who died in the war were going to be a huge burden for Rasa. Since the end of the war, Rasa had basically spent every day frantically replenishing his stamina and using Golden Sand Sets, but it was only a drop in the bucket. In the end, they still had to rely on the existing personnel to accept missions.

Due to a severe shortage of chunin and genin, a rather bizarre phenomenon has emerged in Sunagakure: even jonin have to take on many low-level missions, and even Sasori's father, a prominent figure in Sunagakure, has to dutifully accept many B-rank missions.

1218. Madara almost wiped out Iwagakure!

Among them, Sasori, the most handsome man in the ninja world, was the most popular. After all, with such beauty around, many daimyo's wives and noble ladies would specifically request Sasori to escort them on their escort missions. Even if they had to make an appointment, it didn't matter, and even if they had to wait for several months, it was fine. During this period, Sasori was exhausted. After completing the escort mission, he returned home and was about to rest when Shuri forced him into his room to check his homework.

Looking at the handsome Scorpion now, Shindou's eyes were filled with pity. If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have brought the boy back to the village in the first place. Letting him pursue his art outside, even though he ate and dressed poorly, at least he was happy...

"It's all because of you, you damned old bastard!"

It would have been better if Shinto hadn't said anything, because his words immediately ignited Sasori's powder keg. If it weren't for the fact that this old guy had performed so well in the last war, Sasori would have really brought out Sunagawa to kill this old bastard.

After the fight ended and he returned to the village, the old man simply said he had suffered internal injuries from fighting with Uncle Ban and needed to recuperate, immediately placing him in the top spot. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. And that wretched woman, Xiuli, is such a jealous type; every time he escorted those old women back, she would give him a medical checkup…

"Uncle has been protecting the village for decades, can't I enjoy my time? I was supposed to wait until you were sixteen to take over my position, but you just ran away. I've been working overtime for you for over twenty years, that's already pretty good. Your father and you are the rightful heirs, I'm just a branch. Your grandfather founded the village. Your father may not be ambitious and didn't want to be the Kazekage, but at least he was still in office. If you don't want to be the Kazekage, fine, but you can't just not be the top leader and contribute to the village. Besides, I'm getting old, I should leave opportunities to the younger generation!"

Shindou comforted the furious Sasori.

If Yusaori also had the surname Uchiha like Kakashi's mother, this child would have awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan...

"It's too early for you to be thinking about enjoying yourself now. The Snow Daimyo has entrusted a mission to escort you back to the Snow Country. Why don't you go with him?"

At this moment, because Yekura was still recovering from her injuries in the last war, and Rasa had to go gold panning every day, Ebizo, who had returned to the position of Grand Councilor, walked in and handed the task he was carrying to Masato, saying.

"Pfft! Brother, is the ninja village out of talent? My internal injuries haven't even healed yet, and you're already forcing me to make a comeback?"

Shinto looked at the cover with a "B" written on it, sprayed a mouthful of soda at Ebizo, and said with an annoyed expression.

"I'm a legendary ninja, and you actually made a legendary ninja your errand boy, and a B-rank one at that?"

"Sigh! The village is short-handed now. Sasori has to escort the Daimyo's wife from the Land of Flowers later, so you're the only one left free. Don't complain, at least you can still take on B-rank missions. I heard the Mizukage across the way is taking people to do odd jobs. And Onoki from next door has taken his son to mine to pay off his debts..."

Ebizo wiped the drool off his face, sighed, and explained.

"...If you put it that way, then Hozuki Gengetsu was grinding pretty aggressively back then..."

Hearing Ebizo say this, Masato stroked his chin and began to recall.

If we're talking about which village suffered the most in this war, it would undoubtedly be Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

Iwagakure wasn't actually in as bad shape as Kirigakure. After all, Orochimaru only summoned the Second Tsuchikage, a mummy, in Iwagakure. While the map-wide attack was powerful, the Second Tsuchikage couldn't possibly outmaneuver the three Mizukage on the Kirigakure battlefield. Keep in mind that Hozuki Gengetsu, the Third Mizukage, and the Fourth Mizukage were all formidable mages, possessing virtually unlimited chakra under the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Their attacks were incredibly powerful, especially Hozuki Gengetsu's ultimate attack, "Steam Giant," which was incredibly strong. While not as overpowered as the map-wide attack, its destructive power was no less, and its range was even much greater. The Second Tsuchikage couldn't match it in terms of kills, especially considering Hozuki Gengetsu had two teammates.

If Shindou hadn't arrived in time, the Mist Shadow War would probably have been wiped out by the three archmages. Even so, the Mist Shadow Battlefield was still the one that suffered the most at the start.
