Chapter 600 After the War

"Hmph, interesting." Uchiha Madara smiled confidently and fought two people alone without hesitation.

The three of them collided violently in an instant.

Then...

It was a battle of acting skills that was like thunder and lightning.

The scene was grand and the ninjutsu was gorgeous, but the actual effect was infinitely close to zero.

But judging from the combat power, Kadoki is worthy of the title of the new Six Paths Sage. He suppressed Madara throughout the whole process, but Madara's reincarnated body was quite troublesome.

However, due to the active obstruction of many White Zetsu, Minato was never able to find a good opportunity to seal Uchiha Madara.

Instead, he was found by Uchiha Madara and suffered some minor injuries.

Ohnoki also became anxious, but in his current state, going up would only cause more trouble.

At the same time, the Allied Ninja Forces and the White Zetsu army started a fierce battle again, but the existing Allied Ninja Forces were too small in number and could not hold back too many White Zetsu for Kadoki and Minato.

Only the performance of Kisame and his four companions was relatively outstanding. They withstood a considerable portion of White Zetsu's attacks and helped save the lives of many ninjas.

Unconsciously, the remaining Mist Ninjas looked at Kisame and his three companions with eyes that were extremely trusting and even a little respectful.

In the end, after a great battle, Madara retreated with the White Zetsu Army after saying "I will be back!"

At the right time, Jiaomu half-knelt on the ground, coughed up a pool of blood, and pretended to have a recurrence of an old injury.

......

This war, instigated by Uchiha Madara and fought jointly by the four major ninja villages and the Land of Iron, was classified as the Fourth Ninja World War, although it only lasted for a few days.

The outcome of this war can only be described as bleak and dismal.

After Uchiha Madara retreated, the various parties of the Allied Ninja Forces agreed to support each other and then returned to their own territories to lick their wounds.

Konoha lost more than half of its ninjas, and only 4,000 of its 10,000 ninjas returned alive. And Konoha was the village that suffered the least damage.

Ten thousand ninjas from the Iwagakure Village went on the expedition, but only a thousand or so ninjas followed the seriously injured Ōnoki back to the village.

The Kirigakure sent out 20,000 ninjas, the Mizukage was sealed, a large number of elite ninjas died in the battle, and only about 2,000 ninjas returned to the Water Kingdom in a panic.

The Iron Country gathered all 10,000 warriors, but only more than 1,000 were left.

The worst hit was Kumogakure, with the Raikage killed, the Jinchūriki captured, elites like Darui killed, and only more than a thousand of the 20,000 ninjas left, almost the entire army was wiped out.

The initiator of the war, Uchiha Madara, lost 70,000 White Zetsu, but the core figure, Uchiha Madara, was unharmed.

Uchiha Madara instantly overshadowed the new Six Paths Sage Umino Kadokura and became the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of villages in the ninja world.

The villages that suffered severe blows also began to have other ideas.

......

"We are finally back to the Land of Water."

Zabuza jumped off the boat, his feet on the land of the Water Country, his tone filled with indescribable nostalgia.

"It's still the same as before, right?" Shuiyue was in a bad mood and responded with a wry smile.

When they set out to fight, the 20,000-strong army was full of high spirits. Now, there are only over 2,000 defeated soldiers returning in a mess. The future is uncertain, so it is impossible for them to be in high spirits.

"Yeah, there's no change at all." Ringo Yuuri agreed silently, unable to tell what emotion she was feeling.

"The good news is that the Fourth Mizukage is finally dead!" Zabuza didn't care what the other Mist Ninjas thought of the Mizukage, he expressed his frustration first.

Strictly speaking, Yagura was only sealed, but in Zabuza's eyes, it was no different from being dead.

Waiting for the tailed beast to be extracted is just waiting for death.

The more than two thousand Mist Ninjas behind Zabuza were all silent. Even when they heard Zabuza's "treasonous" remarks, there was no fluctuation in their eyes.

It can be seen how unpopular Yagura is under Obito's control.

......

Everyone was silent, walking slowly back to the Hidden Mist Village without saying a word.

Master Yuan, who had already known the news, stood at the entrance of the village to greet them, but he looked older.

The already old master, upon learning that the ninja coalition had won a tragic victory and that only one in ten of the Kirigakure army was left, instantly aged ten years more and was almost dying.

The fact that he was able to reach the village entrance to greet them was a full manifestation of his strong will.

Of course, the master also noticed Kisame, Zabuza and others who were walking in front of the Kirigakure team.

The three Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who had defected one after another have all returned at this time.

However, there was no joy on Master Yuan's face. After forcing himself to encourage the remaining soldiers of the Mist Hidden Army, he let everyone go back to rest or receive treatment.

Then, the master's gaze swept across Suigetsu Kizuki, the only elite jonin in the remnant army, and finally stopped on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"Hoshigaki Kisame, Ringo Ayuri, Momochi Zabuza." The master read out the names of the three people with a complicated expression. As for Bai, the master did not know them.

"And you, Shuiyue. Come with me." Master Yuan glanced at Shuiyue again, turned around and left.

Everyone followed closely, and soon, they followed Master Yuan into a low bungalow.

There was a table, a chair, a bed and a futon on the floor in the room, so everything was in full view.

This is the home of Elder Wuyin, the Yuanshi.

No one would have thought that the Master, who had served as an elder since the founding of Kirigakure Village, was still living an ascetic life.

"My humble abode is simple and I'm sorry for the poor treatment." Master Yuan sat down on the only cushion, and the others had no choice but to sit on the floor as well.

"I want to ask you a few questions first. First, why did you defect in the first place?"

A glimmer of light flashed in the Master's dim eyes, and he looked at Momochi Zabuza first.

In terms of the influence of defection, Zabuza had the greatest influence, after all, he assassinated the Mizukage before leaving.

Zabuza was not vague and said bluntly: "I never thought I was a traitor. I was just fighting to redeem Blood Mist."

"After the failed assassination attempt on the Mizukage, the day I left the village, I swore to come back again and put an end to the damn blood mist policy, so that Kirigakure can bathe in the sun again and our fellow villagers no longer need to kill each other."

When Zabuza said this, everyone looked at him sideways.

Ringo Yuyuri stared at Zabuza suspiciously, her eyes clearly saying "Is this your line?"

Zabuza killed all his classmates with his own hands, earning him the nickname "The Kirigakure Demon" right after graduation.

Zabuza accepted Ringo Ayuri's questioning look calmly.

He is a silent man of action and is too lazy to explain anything.

The master stared at Zabuza for a while, then nodded thoughtfully, as if he agreed with Zabuza's statement.

Then, the Master turned his gaze to Kisame: "Kisame, what about you?"
