Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 106 : The War Is Over

When Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Fugaku, and his team arrived, all they saw were towering flames and endless ruins. The devastation before them spoke volumes.

The war was over.

"Who did this?" Fugaku muttered, his Sharingan spinning as he surveyed the battlefield.

"Hey, you guys are finally here!" a familiar voice called out.

Kushina Uzumaki, standing strong, waved at them, a smirk tugging at her lips.

"Kushina-sama, what happened here?" one of the Konoha shinobi asked, his voice laced with disbelief.

Kushina and Minato exchanged glances before giving them a brief explanation of the battle. When they finished, silence hung in the air.

Kurama?

Was this man truly that powerful?

Did Konoha harbor such an overwhelming force without them even realizing it?

Minato studied Kurama, the mysterious shinobi who had assisted Kushina. There was something eerily familiar about him, but Minato was certain he had never met the man before. Still, that didn't matter now. What mattered was that Konoha had emerged victorious.

The Land of Fire had won the war.

When the other shinobi heard that their leader, the infamous "Blood-Red Pepper" Uzumaki Kushina, had single-handedly destroyed Kirigakure's base in the Land of Fire, they were ecstatic. The legend of the Red Flash never failed them.

Victory followed wherever she led.

Compared to her, Sarutobi Yaomaru, another battlefield commander, paled in comparison. The moment he received word of the victory, his heart clenched with both pride and bitter envy.

Why?

Why couldn't he be the one to lead his forces to glory?

In the following weeks, Kushina and her team focused solely on monitoring Kirigakure's movements. A month later, the Land of Water formally withdrew from the war.

At the same time, Kirigakure submitted an official letter of surrender to Konoha.

Thus, the Third Shinobi World War finally came to an end.

Though the great nations had laid down their arms, smaller villages and minor countries continued their skirmishes. It was inevitable—true peace had never existed in the history of the shinobi world.

**Land of Water, Kirigakure.**

In the dimly lit halls of the Mist Shinobi Hospital, Ao lay on a bed, his body wrapped in heavy bandages. It was a miracle he had even survived.

In the original timeline, he had managed to escape death even after being hit by a Tailed Beast Bomb from the Ten-Tails. This time, he had somehow survived the massacre on the Forgotten Red Island.

Three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had been scattered during the battle had returned to Kirigakure, their bodies battered and spirits shaken.

The reports they gave the Fourth Mizukage were short but chilling.

One man.

One attack that was on par with a Tailed Beast Bomb.

One ninja from Konoha who had wiped out an entire island in a single move.

Ao, still recovering, met the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's gaze. "I saw him with my own eyes. Konoha has been hiding him as a trump card. And now, we have seen what he is capable of."

That was the reason Yagura had chosen to surrender rather than continue fighting. Kirigakure was not afraid of war—but they knew when to retreat.

For an entire month, the Mist shinobi had searched for any information about the man who had soared through the sky that day. But all they had were scraps.

Orange hair.

Scarlet, vertical pupils.

Nothing else.

Ao had burned the image into his mind. If that man ever appeared on the battlefield again, Mist Shinobi would need to be prepared.

But for now, Konoha was untouchable.

With the surrender letter officially delivered, Konoha's forces began their journey home. After years of bloodshed, the war had finally ended.

Days later, the triumphant shinobi returned to Konoha.

What awaited them was a hero's welcome.

The streets of the village roared with cheers as civilians and shinobi alike gathered to celebrate the victors.

"Red Hot-Blooded Habanero!"

"Red Hot-Blooded Habanero!"

"Red Hot-Blooded Habanero!"

Kushina's name echoed throughout the village.

From the moment news of their victories reached Konoha, it was always Kushina's name that was mentioned. The team she led had never suffered a defeat. And in the final, decisive battle, it was she who had broken Mist Shinobi's forces.

Minato, Fugaku, and the others had played their parts, but the people only called for her.

From the stands, the Third Hokage watched with pride, nodding in approval.

This generation had birthed its own legends.

The Second Shinobi War had given them the legendary Sannin—Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

And now, in the Third Shinobi War, Uzumaki Kushina had carved her own name into history.

But not everyone was pleased.

From the shadows, Danzo observed the celebrations in silence, his expression unreadable.

The power of the Uchiha Clan was growing too strong.

The Hyuga Clan remained unwavering.

And now, Uzumaki Kushina, a Jinchūriki and wielder of incredible strength, was being hailed as Konoha's greatest war hero.

This did not bode well for him.

He had always believed in control. And right now, the village was slipping from his grasp.

He clenched his fists.

No matter. He had a plan.

And it was time to set it in motion.

That evening, the village elders gathered in a dimly lit room for an emergency meeting. The Third Hokage, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu sat around a table, their faces grim.

"The war may be over," the Hokage began, "but our losses were great, particularly against Kirigakure. Many shinobi from our strongest clans perished. We must ensure their sacrifices were not in vain."

"Indeed," Koharu agreed. "The clan leaders will demand reparations. If we do not handle this delicately, Konoha's internal stability may crumble."

Hiruzen nodded. "I will personally see to it that their concerns are addressed. This is the Will of Fire."

Danzo leaned forward, his voice cold and sharp. "Hiruzen, enough about the aftermath. There is another matter we must discuss—the Uchiha Clan."

The air in the room grew heavier.

Danzo continued, "They were too strong on the battlefield. Their power is growing. If we do not act now, we risk losing control of Konoha."

The Third Hokage sighed. He understood Danzo's concerns, but the village had just come out of a war. Could they afford internal strife now?

---

Later that night, in a quiet home, Kushina and Kurama sat together, basking in the rare peace.

"Kurama, when do we make our move?" she asked, her crimson hair cascading over her shoulders.

Kurama smirked, his fangs glinting in the moonlight.

"The war is finally over, Kushina. For now, let's enjoy this victory."
