The raging flames have been extinguished, leaving only billowing black smoke and ruins all around.

Onoki's expression remained completely unchanged.

He had anticipated this scene long ago, ever since he hid in the base preparing for a counterattack.

He extended his senses to see how many people were still alive in the village.

"...Huh?" Onoki stared wide-eyed in confusion: "How come so many of them are still alive?"

He had already prepared for heavy casualties in Iwagakure, but judging from his perception, the number of survivors did not seem to have decreased significantly.

"Didn't they take any major action?" Onoki murmured, then shook his head with a smile after a moment.

"They're young after all, too soft-hearted."

"But in the world of ninjutsu, there is no room for soft-heartedness."

"Lord Tsuchikage! Lord Tsuchikage!" A shout suddenly rang out from afar, and Onoki saw a Chunin running over in a panic.

"Stop rushing around, what kind of behavior is this?" Ono scolded with a stern face, "Where did Shingetsu Nebula go? Did she leave?"

If he leaves, he'll have to rethink whether to strike now or rest and recover.

The Chunin, his face filled with panic, cried out, "Let's go... let's go!"

Onoki's expression relaxed slightly.

"But Miss Kurotsuchi was taken away by him!"

"What did you say?!" The Chunin's words caused Onoki's expression to change drastically!

His hair and beard stood on end, his eyes were wide open, his clothes fluttered even without wind, and a strong sense of pressure suddenly rose from his body!

This aura might not mean much to a Kage-level expert, but it was undoubtedly terrifying to the Chunin in front of him.

Unable to control himself, he knelt on the ground, the Chunin trembling as he said, "Miss Kurotsuchi was sleeping at the time and was woken up by the explosion, just in time to be encountered by the Leaf Village's Demon Star!"

"We tried to stop them, but... we couldn't!"

"Bang!" Onoki kicked the Chunin away.

He knew, of course, that a group of low-level ninjas outside couldn't possibly stop the famous Leaf Demon Star, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his face turning pale and then red. After a long while, he finally let out a string of angry curses.

"asshole!"

"Damn Konoha bastards!"

"No martial ethics!!"

"How could they shamelessly treat a child like that?!"

"Those heartless bastards will get their comeuppance sooner or later!!"

"**The Sage of Six Paths!*!!!"

When Onoki was furious, behind him, a group of Jonin and elite Jonin exchanged glances, neither of them breathing heavily.

After the other party had vented for a while, an elite Jonin tentatively spoke up: "Lord Tsuchikage."

What's the next step?

"Pursue them?"

"What the hell are you chasing?!" Onoki cursed.

He turned around and looked at his men, who were all ready to go. His eyes twitched and his expression was conflicted. After a moment, he waved his hand fiercely.

"Go back and do what you were doing!"

Before his subordinates could ask any more questions, Onoki had already leaped into the air and sped off towards the direction of Konoha's encampment.

The group of Jonin were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

One person asked, "What do we do?"

"Should we go help the adults?"

The leader shook his head and said, "Never mind."

"Maintain order and gather the wounded first. As for the rest... wait for news."

The fireworks in Iwagakure gradually died down, and in the sky, Onoki was flying frantically.

There's no time to lose.

He only had one granddaughter, and he cherished her dearly. The reason he cherished her so much was twofold: firstly, Kurotsuchi possessed exceptional chakra talent, and secondly… he never imagined he would have such a beautiful granddaughter!

Onoki was absolutely certain that without Kurotsuchi, that guy Huangtu could never give him such a beautiful offspring again. This was a rare genetic mutation, and he absolutely could not let trivial matters between villages affect his precious granddaughter.

As long as Kurotsuchi is doing well, Onoki can temporarily put aside any struggles or concerns about saving face.

Thinking of Kurotsuchi's terrified expression, Onoki's heart ached, and he flew even faster...

...

Konoha Camp.

The war was long over.

Although Konoha was without the formidable Shingetsu Nebula, they ultimately emerged victorious.

Huang Tu of Iwagakure was still recovering from his injuries and had exhausted his chakra. As for the ordinary ninjas, they suffered heavy casualties under the terrifying fire jutsu of Shingetsu Nebula. Facing the Konoha ninjas who had not exhausted their resources, they were completely outmatched and could only retreat hastily after their defeat, waiting for news from the village.

When Shenyue Xingyun returned to the camp, he was greeted by cheers.

"I'm back!!"

"Lord Nebula is back!!"

"That's great! I knew Lord Nebula would be alright!"

"Lord Nebula, did you kill that old bastard Onoki?"

"Long live Lord Nebula!"

"Konoha will win!!~"

Faced with the enthusiastic ninja, Shingetsu Seiun did not reply, but simply nodded and strode to the command tent.

Upon receiving the news, Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikaku immediately got up and were relieved to see that Shinzuki Seiun was safe and sound.

Hyuga Hizashi: "Brother Seiun, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Nara Shikaku: "How's the situation at Iwagakure? Ohnoki... huh?"

A head suddenly popped out from behind Shingetsu Nebula, startling Nara Shikaku.

He looked at the black soil behind Shenyue Xingyun, whose big, round eyes were darting around. One hand was clinging to Shenyue Xingyun's neck, while the other held a colorful candy ball, which it was happily eating.

Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hizashi exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Why did you go out and bring a child back with you?

Could it be that the other party didn't go after Onoki, but instead took a detour to find his lover halfway through and brought the child back with him?

In the end, Nara Shikaku suppressed his guesses and asked, "Nebula Jonin, who is this child...?"

Shenyue Xingyun reached out and pulled the black earth that was trying to ride on his neck off, and put it on the ground.

"Her."

"My spoils of war."

"With her, we shouldn't need to fight anymore."

Hyuga Hizashi: "What do you mean?"

Shingetsu Seiun said, "This is Onoki's granddaughter."

Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikaku: "!!!?"

The two stared wide-eyed, turning their gazes simultaneously to Kuroto, who was eating candy on the ground. Upon seeing their stares, Kuroto paused in his candy-eating, then took small steps to hide behind Shingetsu Seiun, reaching out to grab Shingetsu Seiun's trouser leg.

She said, "I am my grandfather's granddaughter."

“But if you have any problems, talk to my grandpa. You can hit him, but you can’t hit me.”

As she spoke, she looked up at Shenyue Xingyun with a pitiful expression: "You promised me they wouldn't hit me, right?"

Chapter 394 Black Soil: It Must Be Grandpa's Fault

Shenyue Xingyun gave a faint "hmm".

With his affirmation, Heitu felt relieved and focused on the candy in his hand.

Hyuga Hizashi hesitated, "This little thing..." Seeing Kurotsuchi stop dealing with the candy and look at him with an unfriendly expression, Hyuga Hizashi changed his mind, "Can this child really make Onoki stop?"

Although Hyuga Hizashi values ​​family very much, this is war, and the enemy is Onoki of the Two Scales.

Would Onoki, who once outlasted the Third Raikage with 10,000 Iwagakure soldiers, really let a child influence his war strategy with Konoha?

Shenyue Xingyun was also uncertain: "I can't guarantee it either."

"But it's alright if we don't give up."

At worst, I can fight Onoki again.

Recalling the scene not long ago where the opponent fled to Iwagakure and refused to come out, Shingetsu Seiun felt that the possibility of fighting again was relatively low.

Shenyue Xingyun: "That's the situation. You've reported to the Hokage. I'm going back to take a shower."

He hasn't rested since the start of the battle, and he's exhausted.

Just as he was about to go back and take a hot shower, Heitu put down the candy and grabbed his trouser leg.

"where are you going?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "I'm going to rest and find a place to play by myself."

Hei Tu pouted, his eyes stubborn: "No."

"What if they beat me up after you leave?"

"I have to follow you."
