The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Even so, Konoha still suffered heavy losses. No one could stop the flying Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki. He kept bombarding the retreating Konoha ninjas with Dust Release, causing huge casualties to them!

If it weren't for the fact that Dust Release consumed so much chakra, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki alone would be enough to wipe out all the fleeing Konoha ninjas!

When the news reached Konoha, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was immediately furious and cursed the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki for being so unkind as to actually do such a despicable act of sneak attack as the Kage of a village!

Therefore, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately took his good friend Danzo Shimura, who had just returned from the Land of Rivers, as well as the patriarchs of the Uchiha, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Kurama, Aburame and other families, and the temporarily assembled ninja troops, and rushed to the front line of the Land of Grass.

In order to ensure that he could crush the Iwagakure Village in terms of high-end combat power, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen even invited Akimichi Torifuze, who had long ceased to be involved in village affairs and was recuperating at home, and was a disciple of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, and also had the strength of a Kage!

He wants to let the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki know the horror of the largest ninja village in the ninja world!

After arriving at the battlefield in the Land of Grass, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly organized the Konoha ninjas to launch a counterattack against the Iwagakure Village.

The strength of Konoha, the largest ninja village in the ninja world, was fully demonstrated in this counterattack.

Although the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was unable to defeat the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki who had the ability to fly, the tacit cooperation between him and his good friend Danzo Shicun made it impossible for the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki to escape from their entanglement, and he had no chance to use Dust Release against other ninjas of Konoha.

As for the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, he was firmly restrained by Akimichi Norifuge and the patriarchs of the major families. Even if he had completely transformed into a tailed beast, it would have been of no avail. After all, he had not yet reached a reconciliation with the Five-Tails. He was only able to fight in full tailed beast form by using the special methods of the Iwagakure Village and his own strong willpower.

(The Sand Village has a sleeping technique that allows the One-Tail Jinchūriki to completely transform into a tailed beast, so it makes sense that the Rock Village has a technique with a similar effect!)

The captain of the Iwagakure Village's demolition team, Benito, was beaten and killed on the spot by Jiraiya who had activated his Sage Mode again.

The Iwagakure Village was immediately in despair after losing a Kage-level strongman. After fighting for most of the day, the ninjas from both sides were already on the verge of collapse. The death of Hongtsuchi could be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Iwagakure Village. Even if their respected Tsuchikage was still fighting, they did not have the courage to continue fighting.

The defeat was like a landslide. Just as they had done to Konoha in the past few days, Konoha will return the same thing to them today!

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was also a hero. Knowing the current situation, he decisively initiated peace talks with Konoha after he had dealt with the remnants of the Iwagakure.

Thus, the war between Iwagakure Village and Konoha Village also came to an end.

.........

.........

.........

On June 37th, the 6th year of the Kirigakure era, with the cessation of hostilities between the Iwagakure Village and the Konohagakure Village and the completion of peace talks between the two sides, the Ninja World War, which began on September 8th, the 34th year of the Kirigakure era and lasted for nearly three years, affecting almost the entire Ninja Continent, came to an end.

After the war, the Hidden Rain Village embarked on a hopeless path of decline, while the Hidden Iwagakure Village managed to break even in this Ninja World War, and the result can be said to be neither good nor bad.

The Sand Village suffered a slight loss, after losing two Kage-level puppeteers, Imu and June, but it also gained two new Kage-level powerhouses, Rasa with the Magnetic Release and Yekura with the Scorch Release. Overall, the impact was not significant.

The Hidden Cloud Village can be regarded as the hidden winner among these families. Although it was a draw with the Hidden Iwagakure Village, after all, their main target in this Ninja World War was actually the Land of Whirlpools, and their goal has now been achieved.

As for Konoha Village, as the apparent "winner" of this Ninja World War, it once again made all parties in the Ninja World realize that the leader is the leader, and it is not so easy to pull Konoha down from the position of leader.

However, Konoha is not as well off as everyone imagines. In fact, you only need to mention one point to understand Konoha's predicament. The result of the war with the Hidden Rain Village was entirely due to political considerations, which made Konoha the victorious party. But in fact, Konoha lost countless elite ninjas and a large amount of resources in this war.

Therefore, Konoha's losses in this Ninja World War were also very heavy. Although the result ended in victory, this victory was just the word "victory"......!!!

Finally, there is the Kirigakure, which did not participate in the war and developed quietly. Apart from the time when Seiji led the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to help Amegakure win the war against Sunagakure, there was no record of the Kirigakure taking any action. All parties in the ninja world who participated in the war also subconsciously ignored the Kirigakure, which was on an isolated island far away overseas.

However, what no one knew was that the biggest beneficiary of this Ninja World War that engulfed the entire Ninja World was the Hidden Mist Village, which did not participate in the war at all!!!

-----------------

The Hidden Mist Village, the Mizukage Building, the Mizukage's office.

Qingsi was sitting at his desk, handling government affairs seriously.

Ever since the Third Mizukage Bing and Seiji finished their meeting with the Daimyo of the Land of Water and returned to the Hidden Mist Village, Bing basically stopped taking care of things. When Seiji's reforms of the Ninja School gradually showed results in recent days, Bing transferred all the power of the Mizukage to Seiji, and he devoted himself to teaching his three disciples and the three little ones that Seiji forced on him every day.

It can be said that the current Seiji is actually fulfilling the duties of the Mizukage, and the only thing missing is a formal ceremony for the succession to the Fourth Mizukage.

And now, the time has finally arrived.

"Master Seiji!" An Anbu appeared instantly, kneeling on one knee and reporting, "The team carrying out the mission in the Grass Country called and said that the Hidden Rock Village and the Leaf Village have signed a peace treaty. The Ninja World War officially ended yesterday!!!"

"Very good!" Qingsi raised his head, looked at the Anbu in front of him, and asked, "Have you informed the Third Generation?"

"Yes!" the Anbu replied respectfully, "Master Ken went to Mizukage-sama himself!"

"Well...! Well done! Go!" Qingsi nodded and waved to the Anbu, indicating that he could leave.
