Thousands of Iwagakure ninjas and the Five-Tails fled into the distance, but Konoha was now completely unable to pursue them and could only allow them to retreat calmly.

The most urgent task now is to solve the big problem of Four Tails.

Tsunade used Moon Steps to come in front of Xuanwu, "Xuanwu-kun, are you okay?"

"To be honest, it's not that great. Hurry up and use Wood Release to control the Four-Tails. I'm almost at my limit."

"it is good."

Tsunade performed a secret technique.

"Wood Release, the tree world descends",

A large number of wooden stakes rose up again, tied up the Four-Tails and absorbed its chakra, and branches and green leaves grew on the stakes again.

The Four-Tailed Fox felt its power disappearing, and its consciousness resisted even more fiercely.

"Hey, you little monkey, I can't cure you anymore!"

Xuanwu had no choice but to increase the output of his pupil power, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Tsunade looked at him worriedly, "Xuanwu-kun, don't force yourself. I can do it."

"It's okay, just continue."

Making your own man shed tears and blood is absolutely intolerable!

Her Royal Highness the Princess increased her chakra output once again, and the Great Omen, which had already degraded to C+, was downgraded again. The number of tree stumps doubled, completely restraining the Four-Tails.

Xuanwu couldn't hold on any longer, his Mangekyō Sharingan degenerated to normal state, his eyes were empty and lifeless, even the beautiful girl who was less than a meter away from him became a shadow. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry, but he could accept the hazy beauty.

After the Four-Tails broke free from the control of the Sharingan, it was about to go crazy, but found that it could not move at all, and even its mouth was sealed tightly.

"A mere human being, do you think you can control me!!!"

The Four-Tailed Fox roared angrily, but because its mouth was blocked, people around it could only hear a "wooooo" sound, which was very funny.

Its body was twisting violently, and cracks began to appear on the wooden stakes.

Judging from Tsunade's clenched hands and the sweat that kept appearing on her forehead, she was not feeling relaxed at the moment.

When Xuanwu and Tsunade teamed up to control the Four-Tails,

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were not idle either. They were carving sealing rituals on the ground. It was the Four Symbols Seal. There was a large bottle in the center of the ritual, and a large number of rituals were also carved on the bottle. The remaining hundreds of ninjas were injecting their chakra into the ritual.

As time went by, the wooden stakes broke one by one, and the four tails were about to escape.

Tsunade asked anxiously, "Are you not done yet? I can't hold on any longer."

Jiraiya yelled, "Done!"

He and Orochimaru formed a seal together: Hai-Shen-You-Xu-Wei.

The "Four Symbols Seal" is activated.

A black chain composed of four spells shot out from the bottle, tied up the four tails, and quickly pulled them into the bottle. Hatake Sakumo covered the bottle cap, and the surrounding spells shrank towards the bottle, and finally all were printed on the bottle and the bottle cap, and the Four Symbols Seal was completely completed.

At this point, the four tails stopped moving.

Shikahira breathed a sigh of relief, "After we clean up the battlefield, let's return to Konoha as soon as possible. Without the chakra supply from the Jinchūriki, once the chakra we inject is consumed, the Four-Tails may escape at any time, and then we will be in trouble."

Hundreds of people dragged their exhausted bodies around the battlefield to collect the remains of their companions and seize the spoils. After everything was ready, everyone set out on the journey back home. They were saved.

While cleaning the battlefield, Xuanwu sent the unconscious Tsunade into the "realm" space to rest, then replaced his right eye with the transformed Byakugan. After finding Nara Kiyomizu and Yamazaki Yu, a stretcher appeared out of thin air. Xuanwu closed his eyes and lay down on it without any hesitation.

After all, he is also a wounded person.

Nara Shimizu: Thank you so much. I fought so hard for a long time, but you didn’t give me a single shot. In the end, you remembered me when you were picking up the corpse.

Honest Man Shan Zhongyu: That’s right, it’s too much.

......

The Konoha border outpost was crowded with people at this time, but most of them were wounded. Xuanwu and other medical ninjas were rushing to treat them. As for Tsunade, she was still sleeping.

Inside a temporary tent, the remaining senior executives were holding a meeting.

Shinnosuke coughed as he listened to Yamanaka Yu's battle report.

It was not until after the Battle of Xuanwu that we learned that Shinnosuke was careless and was wrapped in quicklime by Duanmu. His lungs were severely damaged due to inhaling a large amount of lime. Even if he recovered, the root of the disease would remain, and lung disease would accompany him for the rest of his life.

The casualties were easy to count because there were only a few people left.

Before the second fight, there were more than 927 ninjas in the second battlefield. Up to now, including all those who were still alive, there are still people left. This battle has reduced the number of ninjas by half again. If it weren't for the slug's continuous blood recovery, it would be good if people could come back alive.

Shinnosuke couldn't listen any more, he stopped Shan Zhongyu, "Yu, cough, that's enough, don't continue, just report it like this, cough, cough, the troops will rest for half a day and return to the village at full speed."

Compared to Konoha, the Iwagakure suffered greater losses. Out of a force of more than 5000, only a thousand were left in the end. The death toll was a thousand more than the entire Konoha Second Army. The loss of strategic materials was secondary.

The prince of Iwagakure Village, Ōnoki's eldest son, Kotachi, was killed in battle.

The second elder of Iwagakure Village, Ohnoki's younger brother, Duanmu, was killed without a complete body.

The Four-Tails was captured alive by Konoha.

Any one of these three things would be a huge blow to Iwagakure, and now they are happening all at once.

After Ōnoki received the battle report, the Third Tsuchikage, who was usually always calm and composed, fainted on the spot.

......

The second phase of the war between the four countries ended abruptly just over a month after it began, but its brutality far exceeded that of the first phase.

The total number of Fire Nation soldiers participating in the war was 6138, with 2972 deaths and 825 serious injuries, for a casualty rate of 61.8 percent.

The Wind Country had 3568 people participating in the war, 3002 deaths, 53 serious injuries, and a casualty rate of 85.7 percent.

A total of 5081 people from the Land of Earth participated in the war, 3529 died, 426 were seriously injured, and the casualty rate was 77.8 percent.

A total of 583 people from the Rain Country participated in the war, 376 were killed, 48 were seriously injured, and the casualty rate was 72.7 percent.

This is the cruelty of war, no one can remain unscathed.

Judging from the data, Konoha won, but that was achieved at the cost of one life after another. Even if they won, it was only a pyrrhic victory.

The Second Division was completely crippled, and even Konoha's prince was permanently traumatized.

The war fell into an eerie silence. Even the daily small-scale tests disappeared. The Fire, Earth, and Wind Kingdoms all temporarily withdrew from the Rain Kingdom. Hanzo Salamander hid in the Rain Village and licked his wounds alone, as if the Second Ninja World War had never happened.

However, this is just the calm before the storm, because...

The Third Hokage has decided that he will personally take part in the third phase of the battle.

After the Third Tsuchikage woke up, the first thing he did was to prepare for war and he wanted to go to the battlefield in person.

The Second Kazekage's decision is almost the same. He is currently collecting strategic materials. Next time, he will bring four thousand Sand Ninjas into the Rain Country again, vowing to avenge the dead Sand Ninjas.
