Chapter 324: The Spark and the End
Chapter 324: The Spark and the End
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook as the power of Wood Release and Sharingan fused, and the menacing Avatar of Wood rushed towards Huyi Xuanyue with overwhelming might.
"How nostalgic," Huyi Xuanyue remarked with a gentle smile as he beheld the scene before him.
He glanced at Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, standing side by side atop the Avatar of Wood.
Facing these two old friends who had pursued him from the Warring States era to the present day, Huyi Xuanyue clapped his hands together, deciding to give them the respect they deserved.
Crackle~ Crackle~ Crackle~
The earth shattered, and a towering figure of gray rock, no smaller than the Avatar of Wood, instantly rose from beneath Huyi Xuanyue's feet.
The powers of Lava Release, Solution Release, and Steam Release converged within it, causing the giant's stature to soar even higher.
Finally, Huyi Xuanyue reached out, and three Seekorbs shot towards the giant's body with a "whoosh." They flattened and elongated, draping the giant in a layer of Seekorb armor, reminiscent of the Avatar of Susanoo.
This was the Flame God: Seekorb Mode.
"Let's bring this to an end," Huyi Xuanyue declared calmly as he stood atop the Flame God, gazing at Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara across from him.
As his words fell...
A loud, high-pitched steam roar emanated from the Flame God's massive body. With a single step, it advanced directly in front of the Avatar of the Giant. Three pairs of pitch-black, Seekorb-clad hands reached out to grasp its opponent.
In response, the Avatar of the Giant swiftly grew two pairs of enormous Susanoo arms wielding katana on its sides. Together with the Wood Release arms, they fearlessly charged towards the Flame God.
A myth replayed before their eyes.
The behemoth that had once appeared fleetingly in the Valley of the End and the Valley of God's Descent now clashed once more, shaking the heavens and the earth, right before the eyes of the modern-day ninjas.
"Is this the true power of the Three Ninja Warriors of the Warring States era? It's too outrageous!"
Beneath the battle's aftershocks, a group of shocked and awestruck Allied Ninjas could only retreat, their faces reflecting the impact of the battle.
Witnessing the unimaginable battle unfold, they gained a deeper understanding of the Warring States era, which had long since passed and was recorded only in texts, causing them to lose their sense of reverence.
It was hard to imagine how other ninjas of that era survived in the presence of these three formidable individuals.
"They're not human!"
"We shouldn't be engaging in this battle!"
"Hahaha! Even if we combined the strength of all of us, we probably couldn't hurt them at all!"
". . ."
Given the current state of the Ninja Alliance, one could say that if Huyi Xuanyue destroyed the Avatar of the Giant, he wouldn't need to do anything more. The ninjas, whose perspectives had been severely shattered, would disperse on their own.
As for whether he could achieve this...
"Can the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara win?"
Having regained some of her chakra, Tsunade Senju, her face no longer as deathly pale as before, couldn't help but ask as she stared intently at the battle.
Oonoki remained silent.
Having personally experienced Uchiha Madara's overwhelming power in the past, he couldn't find a trace of that domineering aura in him now, simply because Madara was facing an even more formidable opponent.
Beside them, Senju Tobirama, expressionless, bluntly pierced through the reality of the situation:
"As it stands, hope seems slim."
Although the power of Wood Release and Sharingan was formidable, facing Huyi Xuanyue, who had nearly reached the end of the ninja path and was bolstered by the Seekorbs—a technique considered insurmountable below the Six Paths—even Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara's possession of senjutsu wasn't enough.
Senju Tobirama noticed that the Avatar of Wood was already faltering.
This signaled that the final conclusion was not far off.
With the calmness of a machine, Tobirama made a calculated judgment.
Since that was the case...
He turned to Tsunade and the other current Kage, his tone solemn as he addressed them seriously. "Although I am loath to admit it, we must accept this reality. It's only a matter of time before the Ninja Alliance is defeated and annihilated."
"The Ninja Alliance needs to keep the flame burning. As long as there are survivors, there is still hope for the future."
"Tsunade, Kazekage, Mizukage, Raikage, and the Sunagakure villagers, each of you should bring a group of your subordinates and leave. Go into hiding and ensure that the legacy of the ninja villages is not completely extinguished. We, the reincarnated dead, will buy you time with our lives."
Hearing this, Tsunade clenched her fists, her expression bitter as she asked, "Are you asking us to desert the battle?"
"It's a necessary strategy," Tobirama replied calmly. "If the Kage of a village is not present, the lucky ninjas who escape will soon scatter and become disorganized. Konoha, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure will only be names of the past, never to rise again. It is your responsibility to ensure their continuation."
"But what about the Great Toad Sage's prophecy..." Tsunade wanted to bring up the Great Toad Sage's prediction of doomsday, arguing that even if they escaped, it didn't guarantee their safety.
BOOM!
At that moment, the sound of the falling Might Guy, clad in the Eight Gates Formation, completely drowned out Tsunade's words.
Time was running out!
Tobirama quickly assessed the battlefield and exchanged a meaningful glance with Minato.
In the next instant, they appeared before the current Kage.
Tobirama placed his hand on Tsunade's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "When the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up." He then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, transporting Tsunade far away from the battlefield to a remote location.
Regarding the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, Tobirama believed in parts of it and doubted others.
For instance, he didn't believe that Huyi Xuanyue, the eventual victor, would destroy the ninja world.
Only a madman would do such a thing.
Based on Tobirama's assessment of Huyi Xuanyue's current state, the young man was as sane as they come.
While there might be a future crisis in the ninja world, it was unlikely to be instigated by Huyi Xuanyue.
Regardless of who was responsible, as the victor, Huyi Xuanyue would inevitably step up to the challenge.
As long as he didn't want his rule over the ninja world to descend into chaos.
And so, Tobirama would ensure that there were survivors from Konoha and the other ninja villages.
In the blink of an eye, Tobirama and Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to whisk away not just Tsunade, but also Onoki, A, and Mei Terumi to locations far removed from the war.
The deed was done.
The Kage could only accept this reality.
Due to time constraints, Tobirama and Minato could only transfer a select few ninjas who possessed loyalty, strength, and potential from the Five Great Ninja Villages.
This group included the Konoha Twelve and a factionless group of Sunagakure ninjas.
As they considered transferring another batch...
Upon returning to the battlefield, the two men suddenly froze.
At that moment, bathed in the crimson moonlight, Huyi Xuanyue stood before them, his silver armor taking on an otherworldly aura. With his back turned to them, he gazed silently at the fallen Might Guy, clad in the Eight Gates Formation, as well as the motionless bodies of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, impaled with black rods, lying on the ground before him.
