Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

The battle lasted for three full hours, and the battlefield was littered with corpses.

The Cloud Ninjas left behind hundreds of corpses, and only about two hundred people escaped from Konoha's encirclement.

The Kirigakure side did not suffer such heavy casualties because they successfully bypassed Konoha's second encirclement, but even so, their losses were still not small.

Three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja were killed by Uchiha Yi. Counting Kurisai Kushimaru who was killed before, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja are now in name only. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the high-level combat power of Kirigakure.

Konoha did not choose to continue pursuing the remaining enemies, but decisively withdrew its troops and began to count the casualties.

The medical ninja unit acted quickly under the arrangement of Nara Shikaku to treat the wounded and deal with the dead.

The entire land was covered with broken limbs and the bloodstained ground bore witness to the cruelty and bloodiness of this fierce battle.

The Konoha ninjas cleaned up the battlefield silently. An hour later, they properly placed the bodies of their companions and prepared to send them back to the village for funeral.

In the evening, the Konoha ninjas returned to the camp to rest. According to the plan, they will return to the village tomorrow.

……

In a forest behind the Konoha camp.

Uchiha Yi was wearing the largest weight and doing push-ups.

Beside him stood the Matt Dai father and son.

Seven hundred and twenty-one

Seven hundred and twenty-two

Seven hundred and twenty-three

……

Uchiha Yi did push-ups very quickly and completed more than 700 push-ups in just a few minutes.

Might Dai, who was standing nearby, nodded. Although his expression did not change, he was extremely surprised in his heart.

From beginning to end, Uchiha Yi did not slow down the speed of doing push-ups, which shows that this is far from his limit.

"As expected of Yi, so amazing! It seems that my training volume is not enough, I will add another 300 every day from now on!"

Might Guy set a new training goal for himself. With excitement on his face, he rubbed his hands and then lay on the ground doing push-ups.

Five minutes later, Uchiha Yi finished a thousand push-ups.

He stood up and looked at Matt Dai.

"Yi, open the Jingmen and release a full-strength attack for me to see."

Matt Dai pointed to a maple tree next to him.

"Ok."

Uchiha Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and entered the Eight Gates Ninjutsu state.

After opening the Jingmen, Uchiha Yi's eyes flashed, and all his strength was concentrated on his clenched right fist.

Then, he suddenly rushed forward with his arms moving at an astonishing speed, instantly causing the air to whistle, and his fists even formed a circle of faint red flames due to the friction with the air.

"boom--"

Uchiha Yi's right fist hit the tree trunk like a meteorite, instantly shattering the entire trunk and turning it into countless wood chips that scattered everywhere.

"Very good, you have completely mastered the power of Jingmen, but you are still a little far from the power of Simen."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Might Dai lowered his head slightly and began to think.

Uchiha Yi exited the Jingmen state and stood quietly aside without saying a word.

Today he took the initiative to seek help from Might Guy to improve his Eight Gates Ninjutsu level, mainly to find out the reason why he had not been able to open the seventh gate.

After thinking for a moment, Might Dai looked up at Uchiha Yi and said seriously: "The practice of the Eight Gates becomes more and more difficult as time goes on. It is amazing that you can open the sixth gate at such a young age. To be honest, I don't recommend that you rush to open the seventh gate. It may cause permanent damage to your body..."

"However, I can pass on my experience to you in advance. Remember, after the sixth gate of the Eight Gates, more emphasis is placed on breaking through the limits of mental strength. Physical training alone is no longer able to support that powerful force..."

Might Dai slowly recounted his decades of experience in practicing the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, and several key points in the recount made Uchiha Yi feel as if a world of enlightenment had suddenly dawned on him.

Ten minutes later, Uchiha Yi bowed slightly to Might Dai and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Dai."

"Haha, I'm just a Genin, I don't care about your guidance, Yi, you're too polite."

Matt Dai grinned and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

But after laughing, his face became serious, and he looked at Yi seriously and said: "Remember, don't over-rely on the power of the Eight Gates. You are still young and talented, so you must take it slow."

"I understand."

Uchiha Yi nodded, signaling Might Dai to rest assured.

But he reminded himself in his heart that he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

It's already the end of the year, and next year should be the last year of the Three Ninja World Wars.

Uchiha Madara is about to take action.

……

At the end of the 49th year of Konoha, a war that shocked the ninja world took place.

The Third Raikage died in the Land of Earth. This news was first announced by the Iwagakure Village, and immediately caused an uproar in the ninja world.

This was the first of the Five Kage to actually die in battle since the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War.

In addition, Konoha attacked the retreating troops of Kirigakure and Kumogakure in the Land of Rice, causing heavy casualties to the two hidden villages. In the end, only one-fifth of the number of Kumogakure ninjas that retreated were left.

Half of the Kirigakure were killed in the battle. Among them, four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kurisan Kushimaru, Tsuchiya Nobito, Murashige Shinpachi, and Kurochu Raiga, were all killed by Uchiha Yi. The Kirigakure commander-in-chief Biwa Juzo defected on the battlefield.

After this battle, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were famous in the ninja world were reduced to name only, and the high-level combat power of Kirigakure was completely dispersed.

It can be said that the biggest winner in this battle is Konoha.

The other four hidden villages were all severely damaged and had almost no strength to fight again.

Uchiha Yi's reputation once again resounded throughout the ninja world.

It's already vaguely close to the Konoha White Fang of the past!

After this battle, the other four hidden villages raised Uchiha Yi's danger level to the highest and gave him the same treatment as Konoha White Fang.

When the ninjas of this village are on a mission, if they encounter the silver flash of Konoha, they can abandon the mission without being punished!

The name of Uchiha Yi shocked the entire ninja world for a time!

……

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

After confirming the death of the Third Raikage, the Cloud Ninja did not fall into chaos.

Unlike the Sand Village, which fell into civil strife after the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the Cloud Village had already confirmed the next Raikage successor.

After Lei Ai became the Fourth Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Village quickly returned to normal order.

After the Fourth Raikage took office, he originally planned to seek revenge immediately, but was stopped by a group of Kumogakure high-ranking officials and finally chose to recuperate.

……

The land of earth.

The Ninja Hospital in Iwagakure Village.

"Be careful, ah! My waist!"

Even with the support of two young female medical staff, Ohnoki still sprained his waist and his face immediately showed an expression of pain.

"Lord Tsuchikage, your back injury hasn't healed yet, so you should just lie down on the bed and don't move."

"What do you know, little girl? This is the crucial moment to decide the final victory. I must come forward to boost the morale of the ninjas in the village."

Ohnoki sniffed with his big red nose, looked dissatisfied, and walked out of the yard regardless of anything.

He is the Tsuchikage, and his name "Two Libras" is well-known in the ninja world. It is impossible to make him admit defeat!

At the moment, Sand Village has decided to withdraw from the war, Kirigakure and Kumogakure have suffered heavy losses, and the only one that can compete with Konoha is their Iwagakure Village.

When Ōnoki walked outside the Ninja Hospital, several Tsuchikage guards immediately surrounded him.

"Go and inform everyone that a Jonin meeting will be held this afternoon to discuss the follow-up plans!"

"Yes!"
