I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

"Now, Ghost, you should rest for a bit."

Now that the capture of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki has been completed in time, there is no need for Oni-ko to stay by his side.

Obito absorbed the demon into the Kamui dimension.

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of ninjutsu, he turned his back on them without even glancing at them, and continued running alone into the village.

Boom~~~

Soon, the surging waves completely submerged the area where Obito was located, turning it into an artificial lake.

Inside, Dai Tu, whose body was completely dry, continued rushing out of the village like a phantom, his speed undiminished.

In the ninja world today, Obito, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan Child Technique with Kamui, and whose body is constantly replenished with the Child Power by Hashirama cells, has an unparalleled ability to escape. If he claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.

Unless someone possesses the ability to open a portal to another person's alternate dimension, it would be impossible to catch him before Obito's energy, which he had been keeping in his intangible state, was exhausted.

This is precisely where Obito's confidence came from facing Kirigakure with all its members present.

Despite knowing the difficulty of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan Child Technique, Mei Terumi did not stop her subordinates from continuing their ninjutsu attacks, thanks to the information sharing.

She refused to believe that Obito's Childhood Technique could be maintained indefinitely.

In the following days, under Mei Terumi's fierce attack, more and more Kirigakure reinforcements, organized by her, launched continuous attacks on Obito in batches, giving him no chance to breathe.

Obito, who remained in a holographic state, showed no intention of fighting back and continued to run away on his own.

If he were to actually make a move, he could inflict heavy casualties on the surrounding Mist Ninja.

But this is still Kirigakure, and now thousands of ninjas have gathered around him.

If we delay any longer, all the Mist Ninja from the village will probably arrive.

Although I am strong, I am not a monster like Senju Kumo-tei or Uchiha Madara.

When an attack must be physical, it is difficult for him to fight against thousands single-handedly; in a direct confrontation, he might even be left behind.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Obito decided to play it safe and stick to the principle of only running away and not fighting.

This resulted in an unprecedented spectacle in the ninja world where, despite the countless attempts by thousands of Mist Ninja to obstruct him, Obito simply waved his sleeve and calmly moved forward as if he were in an empty field.

Even Yun Ting today cannot do this.

It can only be said that the Mangekyou Sharingan ability of the Uchiha clan, a hybrid descendant of Otsuki, is too bizarre.

Sometimes, even the Rinnegan, considered the highest level of child jutsu, falls short in some respects.

The pursuit and interception by the Mist Ninja continues.

By this time, many of the Kirigakure ninja looking at Obito had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They never imagined that there would be someone with such bizarre abilities in the ninja world.

This is really illogical.

According to the video game terminology that has come from the Land of Fire over the years.

This guy is definitely cheating!

Similarly, Mei Terumi's face was also full of bitterness.

Especially when they saw Obito rushing to the edge of the village unaffected and about to leave.

"Is this guy limitless?"

She clenched her fists, feeling deeply resentful.

Obito, of course, has his limits.

After all, interstitial cells are not true perpetual motion machines.

Even though he remained in a ethereal state during the short time he was escaping, he was far from reaching his limit.

that's it.

After Obito left Kirigakure and continued his escape.

Although the Mist Ninja relentlessly pursued them.

However, by taking advantage of the complex terrain, the elusive Obito eventually managed to shake off his pursuers and leisurely leave the Land of Water.

The mist ninja felt incredibly aggrieved, as if he had been slapped hard across the face several times.

After experiencing the incident where the enemy captured the Six-Tails in the village and then arrogantly left in full view of everyone.

The already low morale of the Kirigakure ninja, who were surrounded by Konoha and unable to go to sea, plummeted even further.

Although Obito, Konoha's good teammate, didn't defeat the Fifth Mizukage this time, he still provided a good assist.

After handing over the affairs of the Land of Wind to Tsunade, Yun Ting teleported to the Land of Waves using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Not long after, he heard the news of the attack on Kirigakure. Yun Ting did not miss Obito's "good intentions" and immediately launched a general offensive against the last of the five great nations that were stubbornly resisting.

After a swift mobilization, led by Yun Ting, and assisted by experts such as Uchiha Shisui, Killer Bee, and Yugito, along with the garrison from the Land of Waves and reinforcements from other battlefields brought in by train, a total of 10,000 Konoha ninjas set off to board the ship.

On the vast ocean, six enormous aircraft carriers formed the arrowheads, and a massive, dark fleet composed of countless steel troop transport ships set off from the Land of Waves, heading menacingly towards the Land of Water.

at the same time.

In the Land of Water, in Kirigakure, inside the Mizukage's office.

Mei Terumi, who was busy dealing with the aftermath of Obito's incident and looked very tired, suddenly heard the news that Konoha had dispatched troops.

With a loud "clang".

The pen in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"It's finally here..."

Chapter 328 Welcome to the New Era

buzzing~~~

The deafening roar of flying ninja tools echoed once again along the coast of the Land of Water.

After the barrage of bombardments that the Hidden Mist Village and its citizens had long been accustomed to, the Konoha Flying Squadron did not return as usual, but instead hovered in the sky, continuing to monitor and eliminate any hidden enemies.

Soon, a long black line drew closer from the direction of the ocean.

The Konoha army crossed the sea unimpeded to reach the Land of Water. Amidst the dwindling number of Kirigakure ninja fleeing in terror along the coast, and under the watchful eyes of the ordinary people of the Land of Water, who were either trembling with fear, numb, or relieved, ten thousand Konoha ninjas methodically set foot on the territory of the Land of Water.

This is the first time since the founding of Kirigakure that a large-scale enemy army has invaded the mainland in an organized manner.

"After taking control of the town, we will temporarily implement a strict ban. The most important thing right now is to prevent chaos."

Upon entering the territory of the Water Kingdom and seeing the dilapidated and desolate city before him, Yun Ting gave his instructions.

Konoha ninjas immediately obeyed orders and carried them out.

"Shisui, arrange for the entire army to rest for a day. We'll head towards Kirigakure Village early tomorrow morning," Yun Ting said to Shisui, who was following beside him.

They drifted on a boat for most of the day.

Although most of the Konoha ninjas, who lived inland, were physically stronger than ordinary people and rarely suffered from seasickness and vomiting, the constant rocking and swaying of the journey still took its toll on their spirits.

Since Kirigakure couldn't escape anyway, Yun Ting, who wasn't in a hurry, let the entire army rest first.

"Understood, Lord Hokage." Nominally, Yun Ting was the commander-in-chief of this army, but in reality, Shisui was the one who took care of everything.

Before long, ten thousand Konoha ninjas began to set up camp in a great deal of activity, with clear division of labor, either resting or on duty.

"You two should go and rest too."

Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, and Killer Bee, the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, have also been following Yunting this time.

Yun Ting glanced one last time in the direction of Kirigakure, then waved to them as he walked toward his lodgings, signaling them to go and rest.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The wooden figure spoke with utmost respect.

Beside him, Killer Bee, who was much more relaxed and unrestrained than when he was with Shisui, seemed to be a completely different person, and he spoke respectfully without daring to make a fuss.

Only after getting far away did he breathe a sigh of relief and pat his chest.

For some reason, facing the Hokage felt much more pressure than facing his former elder brother.

"That human was just too powerful!" At the same time, the solemn voice of the Eight-Tailed Gyūki echoed in Killer Bee's mind.

Compared to humans, he, as a tailed beast, undoubtedly senses much more.

There was something it didn't say.

That is, when facing that Hokage, he already had a feeling similar to when he first met the Sage of Six Paths.

"Such a person must never be offended." Knowing that the tailed beasts were like toys in front of this person, and fearing that he might be even worse off than Kumogakure, Gyuki quickly reminded him.

"I know," Killer Bee solemnly assured him. "I will do everything that Big Brother asked me to do before he passed away, Hachi, don't worry. Also..."

"Didn't we agree before that after the war, I, the great one, would devote myself entirely to the great cause of music! I'll hold concerts all over the ninja world! Spread my melodies! Let the world remember me! This is me, Killer Bee, the killer bee who culminates in the Eight-Tails! Oh yeah~~"

Finally, after enduring for so long, Killer Bee started his rap.

Ox-Demon: "..."

Thinking about the countless Chibira-themed concerts to come, it suddenly felt an urge to take back what it had just said.

......

Nighttime, Konoha army camp.

The campfire was burning, and Bai and Yu Shu, who had just finished their patrol mission, sat cross-legged to one side, stretching out and enjoying the cool night breeze.

Yu Shu, being a restless person, soon asked her companion with great interest, "Bai, speaking of which, the Land of Water is your hometown, right? What are your thoughts on it?"

Dressed in white, her face even more beautiful than Yu Shu's beside her, a hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes. She calmly nodded and said, "It is indeed my hometown. However, this hometown only holds unpleasant memories for me. As for feelings, I have none."

Having narrowly escaped the destruction of the Yuki clan by the Kirigakure, and having spent his childhood begging and scavenging in various places, he felt no sense of belonging even now that he had returned to the Land of Water.

"I'm sorry, Bai." Upon hearing Bai's words, Yu Shu suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized by putting her hands together.

Bai Zhenxin smiled and shook her head, saying, "It is precisely because of my painful past that I can appreciate the preciousness of happiness. My experience in the Water Kingdom is not an untouchable scar for me. On the contrary, it is a very useful reminder. So, Yu Shu, there's no need to apologize."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu was taken aback at first, then a bright smile spread across her face, and she patted Bai's shoulder vigorously, saying:

"Bai, do you know that this kind of behavior is really attractive to girls?"

"In comparison, a certain middle-aged man who is about to enter middle age and is still reading unhealthy books is far inferior in this regard. He is a famous Jonin of Konoha, and he still hasn't found a wife."
