"Iwagakure...it's over...they've provoked such...beings..."

He seemed to see Iwagakure crumbling like a sandcastle before the absolute power and unfathomable ambition of Uchiha Zō.

Uchiha Zang's eyes remained completely expressionless.

Mercy towards the enemy is cruelty towards oneself and Konoha.

With a thought, he unleashed the Yin-Yang Release: Susanoo's enormous hand, which clenched in mid-air!

"puff!"

An invisible, immense force instantly crushed King Mu's withered body, annihilating the last remaining bit of life force within him!

The enormous five-tailed creature collapsed like a sand sculpture stripped of all its support, turning into countless crimson chakra specks that were then completely devoured by the greedy roots of the divine tree, leaving not a trace behind.

The site remains, with only a huge crater and the lingering smell of burning heat, a testament to the earth-shattering battle that once took place here.

The Yin-Yang Release Susanoo slowly dissipated, and Uchiha Elephant gracefully landed back on the ground. The crimson light of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan faded, returning to its deep black eyes.

He felt the satisfaction and stronger pulse emanating from the Ten-Tails larva within the Great Luo Cave Heaven, as it absorbed the complete characteristics of the Five-Tails' chakra, and a satisfied smile curved his lips.

"The Five-Tails' 'Boil Release' technique... is in hand."

He muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged battlefield. In the distance, Kakashi and the others' battle seemed to be nearing its end, with explosions becoming sporadic.

"Good efficiency. Looks like it's time to go 'harvest the corn'."

He flashed and sped off in the direction where Kakashi and the others were.

Chapter 197, Post-War Review

far away.

After using illusion magic to defeat the last enemy, Shisui stepped forward and delivered the final blow, ending the enemy's life.

At this moment, nine corpses were lying haphazardly around him.

Of these corpses, one was dressed as an Iwagakure ninja, while the other eight were dressed as wandering ninjas.

They seem to be a group of wandering ninjas from the Land of Bears, secretly supported by Iwagakure.

Just as Shisui put away his dagger and prepared to look for his other companions, a deafening explosion suddenly came from afar, causing him to stagger.

"what's the situation?"

Startled, he rushed toward the direction of the explosion.

the other side.

Kakashi pulled out his right hand, which had pierced the opponent's heart, and then casually flicked it, smearing the sticky blood on the ground.

Then, panting heavily, he looked in the direction from which the explosion had come.

Based on his experience, he could naturally determine the scale of the explosion, realizing that it was something that ordinary ninjutsu or explosive tags could not achieve.

His face immediately darkened.

The fierce battle just now almost exhausted his chakra. Although he quickly killed nine enemies, he himself was almost incapacitated.

But Kakashi didn't hesitate and limped towards the direction of the explosion...

On the last battlefield.

Kai clutched his injured left arm, his face grave.

Surrounded by enemies, he was worried about both the battle before him and the other three.

He figured that if the other side had sent nine ninjas to attack him, then there must be even more ninjas attacking the other three.

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred, drawing the attention of everyone on both sides of the conflict.

Kai's heart sank; he had a bad feeling.

The leader of the opposing Iwagakure ninja's expression changed drastically. He abandoned the injured Guy and led eight rogue ninjas, rushing desperately towards the direction from which the explosion had come.

Kai hesitated for a moment, then followed...

Uchiha Xiang was just about to go find Kakashi and the other two.

Halfway there, a group of nine ninjas suddenly appeared in front of him.

The leader was a ninja from Iwagakure, while the other eight were all dressed as wandering ninjas.

The Iwagakure ninja glanced around, then, feigning bravado, shouted at Uchiha Sho, "Damn it, what happened to Senior Han?"

Uchiha Xiang glanced at them indifferently and slowly said, "Didn't you already guess the result? Why are you acting so surprised?"

"This...this is impossible! How could Senior Han possibly lose!"

"The reason he lost is simply because he ran into me, nothing more."

Having said that, Uchiha Xiang lunged at his opponent without hesitation.

In the battle against the Five-Tails Kokuo, Uchiha Sō gained a lot, but his biggest gain was realizing just how powerful he, the "God of the Shinobi World," truly was.

You won't know until you try it, and you'll be amazed when you do!

With his full power unleashed, even a fully-formed tailed beast was no different from a kitten in his hands, easily swatted to death.

No wonder Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju didn't care about distributing the Tailed Beasts to other countries back then.

The same applies to Uchiha Sō in the present day.

It seems that it's time to collect all the chakra law characteristics of the other tailed beasts as well.

Inside a cave in the Bird Kingdom.

Uchiha Sho and his three companions sat around the campfire, eating and chatting.

Three full days have passed since the ambush in the forests of the Bear Kingdom.

Apart from Uchiha Zō and Shisui, everyone in the team was injured.

Therefore, Uchiha Sō decided to take a break in the Land of Birds for the time being.

As for the last nine Iwagakure ninjas, they had all been killed by Uchiha Sō by the time Shisui and Guy arrived.

After the battle, Uchiha Shoichi tallied the numbers and discovered that in addition to the elite ninja team led by Iwagakure's Jinchuriki Han, there were also twenty-four wandering ninjas from the Land of Bears who participated in the ambush.

Among them, King Mu's jinchūriki, Han, took the initiative to approach Uchiha Sō, the Fifth Hokage, while the remaining three members each led eight wandering ninjas from the Land of Bears to intercept and kill the other three.

Han is a Kage-level ninja, that much is certain. The other three ninjas he leads are also Jonin-level, plus twenty-four wandering ninjas from the Land of Bears who are close to Chunin.

These people, when gathered together, are enough to destroy a small country's ninja village; they are a terrifying force.

Moreover, the battle took place under ambush conditions.

In the original timeline, Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha involved invading the village, but it was only Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, along with a team of elite ninja led by Orochimaru.

Under normal circumstances, with King Mu's jinchūriki and so many elite ninjas, it would be more than enough to overwhelm even a small team of ninjas led by a village kage.

After all, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was also besieged and killed.

Iwagakure's initial plan was for three Jonin to each lead eight wandering ninjas to quickly eliminate their opponents, and then join the siege of Uchiha Eizo.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the strength of the four Uchiha Samurai, and as a result, they were completely wiped out!

The fact that Uchiha Enoki and his three companions annihilated the enemy without suffering any casualties themselves is truly a remarkable achievement.

Of course, Shisui was the most relaxed of the three, including Kakashi.

With the enhancement of his Mangekyou Sharingan, which has undergone a transformation, even his ordinary genjutsu possesses immense power; even a Jonin could fall victim to it if they were not careful.

The Jonin sent to deal with Shisui was directly caught in his genjutsu and died without even having a chance to use his own ninjutsu.

Without the command of the Jonin leading the team, the remaining eight wandering ninjas were easily dispatched by Shisui.

The ease with which the process was made Kakashi and Guy quite frustrated.

Kakashi's performance was slightly inferior to Shisui's.

Because his body had to support a Sharingan that didn't belong to him, Kakashi, despite his exceptional talent, didn't surpass his peers by much in terms of chakra reserves.

In addition, the A-rank ninjutsu Chidori consumes a lot of energy, so it's inevitable that some people will be exhausted after a fierce battle.

Kai performed as expected.

After all, he hasn't fully developed yet, and without using the Eight Gates, he can't reach the level of a true Jonin.

It was already quite remarkable that he was spared from death by a Jonin and eight rogue ninjas who were close to Chunin level.

Uchiha Sō's performance was, in his own opinion, neither good nor bad.

The main issue was that he misjudged his own power when he first used the Eternal Eye Susanoo.

When dealing with the Five-Tails, Kokuo, he used a little too much power.

Otherwise, it should have been easier to play.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "There aren't many people in the entire ninja world with your record!"

Shisui chimed in, "Indeed, Elephant-kun. To kill a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast outright is something that has almost never happened in the ninja world since the First Hokage..."

Chapter 198, The Fifth Hokage's Resignation

It seemed that Uchiha Sho was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"and,"

Kakashi continued, "These guys participated in the ambush of the Konoha ninja forces back in the Land of Grass. In the end, if it weren't for Minato-sensei's arrival, we might have been defeated head-on."

Kai looked astonished: "On the battlefield of the Land of Grass, Konoha was almost defeated by Iwagakure?!"

Kakashi said with a serious expression, "Yes, that battle was extremely fierce. Although we repelled the enemy, we also suffered heavy losses. Obito died in that battle!"

Shisui said somberly, "Several of our Uchiha's elite Jonin were killed by Iwagakure in that battle."

Uchiha Sho pondered, "No wonder Iwagakure is so hostile towards Minato and me, and no wonder they think an ambush can take us down."

Based on the elite Jonin of the Uchiha clan that Iwagakure had killed, even though Uchiha Zango was one of the few Kage-level powerhouses in the Uchiha clan, he would indeed die when faced with the siege of a Jinchuriki leading three Jonin and a large number of ninjas.

Kakashi then said worriedly, "I'm worried that Iwagakure will use this as an excuse to make trouble."

After eating and drinking his fill, Uchiha Ei leaned to the side and said nonchalantly, "What's there to worry about? I've already killed the Five-Tails, Kokuou. Onoki is old after all and can't possibly start another war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire now."
