Chapter 355: The Grand Finale.

Kumogakure Village found the Eight-Tails again. The moment Raikage A saw Killer Bee, he gave him a loving iron fist. Everyone had thought Killer Bee was dead, but he turned out to be alive and well, living more freely than any of them.

This made Raikage both happy and angry. Happy that Killer Bee was alive, angry that Killer Bee had played dead and disappeared in front of him.

When other ninja villages learned that Killer Bee had returned to Kumogakure Village, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The more tailed beasts they had, the greater their chances of victory.

"The Eight-Tails hasn't been captured yet? This is good news for us."

When Minato heard this, he couldn't help but feel a bit happy.

"I remember the Eight-Tails is a perfect Jinchuriki, right?"

"That's right."

Nara Shikaku nodded.

"Help me contact Raikage. Tell him I want to cooperate with them to help Naruto master the power of the Nine-Tails. They can put forward any conditions, as long as they're not too excessive, I can agree to them."

"Understood."

Although Minato himself could use forceful means to make the Nine-Tails submit to Naruto, doing so would be more harmful than beneficial to Naruto. Moreover, it was said that Kumogakure Village had a special method.

So after some thought, Minato decided to send Naruto to Kumogakure Village for training.

When the Raikage heard this news, he agreed immediately without hesitation. He also brought along the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, as having perfect Jinchuriki for the Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails would greatly strengthen their side and increase their chances in the upcoming war.

After sending Naruto away, the war officially broke out. Besides the terrifyingly numerous White Zetsu army, the most troublesome were the strong individuals resurrected by Edo Tensei.

For example, the former Kage of each village and those with Kage-level strength.

The Five Kage stayed at the headquarters, while other powerful individuals went to the front lines, such as Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, each possessing super-strong Kage-level strength.

This included Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, who had just reached Kage-level. However, the moment Sasuke stepped onto the battlefield, he was drawn away by Itachi.

Although the enemy had many strong individuals, they were still no match for the united Five Great Ninja Villages.

Then Orochimaru performed another Edo Tensei, this time resurrecting the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Uchiha Madara. Their addition to the battlefield instantly changed the situation.

Due to Orochimaru having the First Hokage's cells in his body, the resurrected individuals had almost the same strength as their original selves. Even if they were slightly weaker, it wasn't by much. Most importantly, these individuals were immortal and could only be sealed.

Trying to hold off and seal these three was undoubtedly a very difficult task.

Next, the Five Kage appeared simultaneously to hold off these three. This ninja world war could be seen as an internal conflict within Konohagakure.

Even with the Five Kage working together, they struggled against these three. Only Minato, who entered Tailed Beast Mode and Sage Mode, could hold off one of them.

The other four Kage couldn't gain any advantage against the remaining two.

Just as they felt immense pressure, Naruto, Killer Bee, and others finally arrived. At this moment, all three were perfect Jinchuriki, playing a significant role in the battle.

Although they didn't gain the upper hand, they could at least fight on equal terms with the enemy.

Kakashi fought against Obito, and other members of the Akatsuki organization were also confronted by other strong individuals. After all, the other four great ninja villages were not to be underestimated.

If they couldn't win one-on-one, they would fight two-on-one or three-on-one.

After some time, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke suddenly appeared. This time, their eyes had changed to Mangekyou Sharingan. Accompanying them was Uchiha Shisui.

As soon as the three Mangekyou Sharingan users arrived on the battlefield, the situation immediately changed. Each of them had Kage-level strength, and even among Kage-level, their power was not weak.

At the same time, Hatake Satoru successfully broke the seal. Sensing the commotion outside, he didn't hesitate and directly killed Otsutsuki Isshiki.

To completely eliminate the Otsutsuki clan, Hatake Satoru traveled to the future, brought his future self to this timeline, and once again went to the Otsutsuki territory. After wiping out the Otsutsuki clan in this timeline, Satoru returned to the battlefield.

With Hatake Satoru joining the already dominant group, the outcome was obvious, with no suspense at all.

Even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were no match for Hatake Satoru in a single round. They were directly shattered by a punch. If they weren't in their Edo Tensei forms, they would have been dead long ago.

Seeing Hatake Satoru's appearance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They almost thought the battle was lost, as their victory would have come at a great cost.

After the war ended, Hatake Satoru captured Hidan. Using some unknown method, Hidan opened a path to the Divine Realm.

The moment Hatake Satoru stepped into the Divine Realm, he was shocked by the overwhelming presence. He now understood why the Otsutsuki clan's invasion had failed. The aura here was no weaker than that of the Otsutsuki clan.

A fierce battle ensued in the Divine Realm, and Satoru realized why Hidan had been able to injure him before. It was the power of the gods, or more accurately, divine authority.

Despite this, Hatake Satoru didn't back down at all.

The Divine Realm was hidden within the surface world. Throughout the year, the surface world experienced constant storms, rain, snow, and hail. The seasons were in chaos.

Finally, a battered Hatake Satoru emerged from the Divine Realm. Judging by the smile on his face, he was clearly satisfied with his actions.

This battle had been very rewarding for him. A year of continuous fighting was a huge test for Hatake Satoru, and it also showed just how strong these gods were.

"Now, everything should be over. I can 'go back'."

Hatake Satoru muttered to himself, and then his body emitted a white light before disappearing from this world.

Author Note : I'm very sorry, but this book ends here. As you can see, the ending is very rushed. I didn't expect it to be this way. Plans can't keep up with changes. I enrolled in a driving school, and I don't know if you've experienced the feeling of waiting with a dozen or twenty people for one car. I had to get up early and wouldn't be back until eight or nine in the morning. That's why this book has been delayed for so long. Also, the book's performance hasn't been great, with only about eighty subscriptions. So I thought I'd update after finishing my driving school. I calculated that it would be done by the end of the month, so I decided to end the book here. I'm very sorry again, and I thank the readers who have read this far for your support. This book's story ends here, but our story continues.
