=================

Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!

Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!

At that moment, as Tsunade, who had also entered Sage Mode, let out an enraged roar, she unleashed two terrifying Wood Release jutsu right away.

In an instant, a terrifying forest of vines grew within the barrier. All the Konoha shinobi could see this spectacle, and they stared in shock at the grand scene.

A massive wooden giant slowly rose from the ground, with the imposing Tsunade appearing atop it.

"It was you who unleashed the Nine-Tails back then!"

Her domineering shout echoed above Konoha, and the already battered masked Obito showed a rare look of shock.

"Wood Release! Not good, this pollen is poisonous!"

The battered masked Obito felt his chakra slow inside his body. At the same time, Sasuke and the two Hatake Kakashis made him once again feel the threat of death.

"Who are you, really?!"

The two Hatake Kakashis demanded furiously, their Mangekyōs spinning in their pupils.

With his rich combat experience, Kakashi realized that this time, he was fighting two versions of a formidable foe. By chance, he discovered the secret of the Mangekyō.

At that moment, both Kakashis looked grim, and they began to suspect the truth in their hearts. But as long as the mask wasn't removed, they couldn't be sure.

"Heh heh... ah ha ha..."

Faced with such a desperate situation, pieces of Obito's mask had already been broken off, revealing some of his fierce skin. He looked at Kakashi and Sasuke, showing a mocking smile.

"This world is wrong; this is just the beginning. The Nine-Tails jinchūriki may have gotten away this time, but next time, we won't let him go..."

Under the terrifying jutsu assault, Obito took a deep breath and chose to retreat.

Facing Sasuke and the two Kakashis, he was already physically and mentally exhausted—now with a Wood Release user like Tsunade, it wasn't worth it.

The mission to capture the Nine-Tails jinchūriki had failed!

And as for Nagato at this moment...

Before leaving, Obito's Mangekyō coldly swept over another battlefield. In this attack on Konoha, the only Akatsuki member who contributed was Kisame Hoshigaki.

Obito was hiding his strength to guard against Nagato, and at the same time, Rinnegan Nagato was also hiding his power to watch out for Madara (the masked man).

The Akatsuki fought together, but each harbored their schemes.

With a huge booming sound, the mysterious masked man's chakra completely disappeared from Konoha.

"Hokage-sama, the target's chakra has vanished!"

"Confirm again! Both the Rinnegan and the masked man's chakra have completely disappeared!"

As the voices of sensory ninjas echoed above Konoha, smoke from the battlefield drifted up.

As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade barked coldly:

"Keep observing! No jōnin is to act alone; you must patrol in squads. If you find anything abnormal, immediately fire a signal flare."

"Yes!"

"Medical ninjas, treat the wounded! Everyone, regain your combat strength as quickly as possible! Sensory ninjas, conduct 24-hour, comprehensive monitoring. Barrier team, quickly deploy a barrier that can sense spatial fluctuations..."

With Tsunade's orders, Konoha—the most powerful machine in the ninja world—began to operate.

As the barrier slowly dissipated, Naruto, suddenly bursting out with four tails, charged over in a rage, running right into the equally angry Tsunade.

Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!

The massive wood golem, not yet dispersed, responded to Tsunade's roar. Its terrifying palm—although not as powerful as Hashirama's in his prime, who could crush the Nine-Tails like a chick—still dealt a heavy blow.

With a mighty slap, the four-tails Naruto was instantly silenced.

With a boom, the ground in Konoha shook. Countless Konoha ninja gulped in shock as they watched their Fifth Hokage lose her temper.

As the massive hand slowly lifted, nothing remained of the berserk four-tails. In its place was Naruto Uzumaki, now sleeping like a baby.

Meanwhile, in Naruto's mind, sealed within, the Nine-Tails roared in frustration—yet there was fear in its beastly eyes.

"Why is it always Mangekyō or Wood Release? These damned Senju and Uchiha clans—they never leave me alone!"

The Nine-Tails' anguished roar was truly pitiful.

Who could have imagined that, back then, he was beaten like a chick by Hashirama and Madara—two monsters. After all these years, just as he saw the hope of escape...

Konoha had Mangekyō and Wood Release again.

This fox's life was just too tragic.

...

Outside Konoha, in the river at the village edge.

"You're a powerful opponent. I, Might Guy, will remember your name!"

After opening the Seventh Gate, a panting Guy looked at the exhausted figure floating in the river, shock and respect in his eyes.

To withstand his Seventh Gate's Daytime Tiger and only collapse from exhaustion—this enemy was strong!

"I can't believe I was beaten by a rare beast..."

Kisame muttered hoarsely, while the other Konoha jōnin sealed his chakra and Samehada.

...

Outside Konoha Village.

"Damn you! Orochimaru, you traitor!"

Deidara glared furiously as the Four Violet Flames Formation trapped him. In the distance, a figure emerged from a snake's mouth—it was the long-absent Orochimaru.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect to catch a kid playing with clay. Seems my luck is good."

With his unique hoarse laugh, Orochimaru's body dried quickly. Deidara, frustrated, was bound by a giant snake, and its venomous fangs bit his neck, releasing the chakra-suppressing poison, making it impossible for him to cause a final explosion.

"I didn't expect you, Orochimaru, to return to Konoha."

Though caught, Deidara showed no despair. He glared angrily at Orochimaru.

To him, art was above everything—even his life.

At worst, he'd die!

Thus, Akatsuki's attack on Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails jinchūriki ended in total failure.

Even the legendary Shinra Tensei from the original wasn't used.

With both in Konoha, Nagato with the Rinnegan was wary of the masked man. If he fought to the death and used up all his chakra, he'd have no power to resist any further moves from his rival.

Obito was the same: if he kept fighting, regardless of whether he could win, he feared Nagato would take advantage.

Both were on guard against each other.

...

Inside Konoha Village.

"I didn't expect you not to make a move. Did you just give up on the Rinnegan?"

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade asked imposingly, as if wondering why he didn't try to keep them there for good.

She knew very well: if Shirou went all out, there was a chance to keep at least one, if not both—especially the Rinnegan.

But Shirou narrowed his eyes and nodded:

"I haven't given up on the Rinnegan. But if we force them too hard, the Rinnegan and the masked man might join forces, and that could be tough to handle.

Our goal is the entire ninja world, not just a temporary victory or loss."

If they presented too big a threat and forced the two to join forces, that would be bad news.

Besides, his current strength—even at full power—only matched the likes of Valley of the End Madara and Hashirama, maybe a bit stronger.

Attracting too much attention now would not be wise. And the Rinnegan wasn't just Madara's trump card—Black Zetsu also had plans.

"The Akatsuki now only has those two left, and we've found a substitute for the Nine-Tails' chakra. So a fight between the Rinnegan and the masked man's Mangekyō is inevitable."

With a calm smile, Shirou recalled his earlier meeting with Nagato and Konan. It wasn't just a reunion—he'd left a space-time jutsu marker. Their falling out fit his plan perfectly.

The Akatsuki's hunt for the tailed beasts was already throwing the ninja world into chaos—making them the scapegoat was just right.

He would become the legend that ended the age of chaos in the ninja world.

"Tsunade, it's time for the Five Kage Summit. Our plan to unite the ninja world should begin as well."

With a calm smile, Shirou noted that the time flow of the two ninja worlds was nearly synchronized. The plan to unify the world could begin.

"The Five Kage Summit... To launch the Fourth Great Ninja War against both worlds at once—how confident are you?!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade frowned. She understood the strength of the Five Great Nations.

If they fought to the death, in the original story, Madara appeared without the Rinnegan (just Valley of the End power), and it seemed the Five Nations still had hope.

Shirou was strong, but at best only at that level. With another world's Tsunade, it was like a supercharged God of Shinobi and Shinobi Asura.

But with the Akatsuki's intel from Shirou, they'd have to face more than just the great villages.

Noticing Tsunade's worry, Shirou gave a confident smile.

"Even if we start the Fourth Great Ninja Unification War in both worlds at once, it doesn't mean we have to fight both at the same time!

The spatial channel between the two worlds is stabilizing. The start of war is in our hands—end the war in the original world first, then the two Konoha unite to end the chaos in this world."

Shirou's words made Tsunade nod secretly.

If they finished the other world's war, then the entire world working with Konoha to conquer this one would indeed be easier.

"Understood. The unification war is about to begin. I hope this will be the last war in the ninja world!"

Tsunade took a deep breath, gazing out the window at the villagers emerging from Konoha's shelters, her eyes full of resolve.

War!

For ninja, it was never unfamiliar.

But this time, this bold ambition might finally end the cycle of ninja wars.

...

The Akatsuki's all-out assault on Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails jinchūriki spread instantly throughout the ninja world.

The ninja world was shaken.

After all, everyone already knew the Akatsuki's purpose. After the attack on Kumogakure, all eyes were on Konoha's Nine-Tails.

It was the last tailed beast.

And the Akatsuki's revealed power was terrifying.

The legendary Rinnegan—head of the three great dōjutsu—had appeared, wielded by the Akatsuki's leader.

The Rinnegan's destructive power in Konoha shocked the world: one man could take on a whole village!

The mysterious masked man with the Mangekyō was confirmed as the culprit who manipulated the Nine-Tails and caused Konoha's greatest disaster a decade before. His space-time jutsu also shocked the world.

Just the power these two showed alone was enough to shock the leaders and Kage of the other four great villages.

If the Akatsuki's full force targeted their village, could they withstand it?

Iwagakure.

"Rinnegan, Mangekyō! Space-time jutsu, and now Tsunade's Wood Release!"

Looking at the intel, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's expression darkened—Akatsuki's strength was beyond imagination.

So was Konoha's.

Sasuke's return with the Mangekyō, Orochimaru's appearance, and the strength of the Sannin Jiraiya—all added up to a headache for Ōnoki. Why did Iwa never have such talent?

"The Five Kage Summit! Looks like the ninja world is heading for upheaval."

Akatsuki's intentions were clear. With eight tailed beasts in hand, their ambitions were sky-high. The five great villages were the first to face the threat.

Kumogakure.

"Damn it! Killer Bee! I will avenge you!"

Fourth Raikage A's eyes filled with tears of rage.

Intel from Sunagakure said that after a jinchūriki was captured, Akatsuki would extract the tailed beast, and then target the next.

In other words, Killer Bee was certainly dead after extraction.

At this time, Raikage A had no idea who killed Bee—Akatsuki bore the blame.

"Send the order! The Five Kage Summit will be in the Land of Iron! Kumogakure will have vengeance!"

"Yes!"

Sunagakure, Land of Wind.

Fifth Kazekage Gaara was shocked by the intel from Konoha.

"I can't believe Sasuke has grown so strong. Thank goodness Naruto is safe."

Temari frowned as she saw Gaara's concern for Naruto and said:

"Gaara, Akatsuki's terrifying power—and Konoha's hidden strength—are the truly scary things."

Compared to that, Temari saw Konoha's terrifying potential as a fellow great village.

Too many Kage-level fighters; Suna had only Gaara at full strength.

"Prepare for the Five Kage Summit. Akatsuki must be dealt with!"

"Yes!"

Temari looked grave. Luckily, Akatsuki was now a common enemy for the great villages, or else Suna would be at its weakest point ever.

Kirigakure, Land of Water.

Wearing the Mizukage hat, with one enchanting blue eye, Terumi Mei smiled slyly:

"Konoha hides their strength, especially this Fifth Hokage—turns out she can use Wood Release, too. If Akatsuki hadn't pushed so hard, the world would never have known.

No wonder Konoha has always been the top village."

As she tapped the intel on the masked man, Mei's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Fifth Mizukage, this man can control the Nine-Tails with his Mangekyō. Considering what happened to the previous Fourth Mizukage, it's very likely this is him..."

Ao said darkly—this was the enemy of all Kirigakure.

"The Five Kage Summit! Kirigakure will settle this debt!"

Mei's eyes were icy with resolve. She'd never forgive the schemer who played with her homeland.
