Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fist as he watched the numerous grass ninjas going against the flow of people, using various defensive ninjutsu to protect civilians from the aftermath of the battle.

Having just finished his mission and returned to the village, he looked at the scene before him with some emotion. Having grown to the point where he could maintain his rationality even with three tails, he was about to step forward to help in the battle.

Suddenly pulled into the consciousness space by the Nine-Tails, he saw that the Nine-Tails had a gloomy face and its voice was even trembling slightly.

"Naruto, that guy..."

"It gave me a very bad feeling. Besides malice, there was also an instinctive resistance, like encountering a natural enemy, like an eagle eating a rabbit..."

Naruto tilted his head and asked with some curiosity.

"Fox, do you also experience fear, and sometimes you are afraid of someone or something?"

Nine-Tailed Fox turned away unhappily, its tail drooping to the ground.

"Anyway, my instincts tell me it's best not to provoke him. That guy should be on the same level as Kusakage, if we have to compare strength..."

In Kurama's mind, the Void Queen summoned by Kusanagi and devoured his chakra kept replaying in his mind, as well as the experience of being beaten up. He couldn't help but sigh.

"I reckon Kusakage is still stronger. After all, people without any principles are the most terrifying..."

Far from home, Kusashi, who was discussing with Nagato whether to let the Land of Iron join the war, sneezed and couldn't help but sniffle.

"Sigh, I wonder who's secretly thinking about me this time..."

On the simulated sand table, Nagato was pointing at Kumogakure and saying that the other side was definitely plotting revenge when he suddenly noticed that Kusaji was somewhat absent-minded and immediately asked him about it.

"What's wrong, Lord Kusakage?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Being handsome is really a sin!"

"..."

At this moment, in the middle of the fleeing crowd, Hozuki Suigetsu helplessly picked up a ninja tool that looked like a guillotine and used it to block the boulder flying out from the aftershocks of the battle, looking towards the battlefield with some worry.

"You silly bro, please don't get hurt!"

Suddenly, dozens more boulders and fireballs hurtled toward the fleeing crowd. Hozuki Suigetsu only managed to cut off a small portion of them before he had to stop, somewhat helplessly. There were just too many of them, and they seemed to be enhanced by some kind of special chakra, making it difficult for him to block them!

The civilians who had taken refuge watched the flying boulder with despair. Some Jonin who were proficient in ninjutsu used ranged ninjutsu, but they could only destroy the surface of the boulder and slow down its descent.

Even the grass ninja below the Jonin level, many of them couldn't even do a simple scraping, and could only try to block the attack with Earth Release: Earth Wall, but with little effect!

Suddenly, several white-glowing barriers shot into the sky, followed by several chains that flew out and continuously shattered the boulder. The broken stones crashed into the barriers, creating violent ripples!

Karin gritted her teeth and frantically unleashed the Adamantine Sealing Barrier, while also helping to rescue some of the Grass Ninja caught in the aftermath of the explosion!

Kimimaro leaped into the air and smashed three giant rocks in succession before stopping in place with some helplessness. The bone blade and bone shield he used for the attack were completely destroyed.

Looking at the epicenter of the explosion, he smiled at Karin.

"I'll go help; you're in charge here!"

Karin wiped the sweat from her forehead and tossed a bottle of medicine from her waist.

"Brother Kimimaro, if necessary, use the regeneration potion to save your life!"

Kimimaro took the greenish-tinged potion, a smile playing on his lips.

"it is good!"

Then he leaped into the air and disappeared into the night!

In the space of consciousness, Nine-Tails helplessly extended its right fist.

"You rascal, why did you suddenly start working for Grass Shadow? I'll lend you my power!"

Naruto Uzumaki smiled and bumped fists with Kurama.

"It's nothing, I just didn't want to upset my mother, and Kusagakure is like another home to me!"

Kushina watched Naruto walk away without stopping him, but her eyes sharpened, and in an instant her left eye became the Byakugan and her right eye transformed into the Sharingan, her tone becoming calm.

"Naruto has grown up, but as his mother, I'm no pushover!"

At this moment, underground in Kusagakure, watching one powerful Kusagakure villager after another fall as their chakra was stripped away, Black Zetsu, trembling with fear, peeked out with half his head and muttered to himself.

"Damn it, the White Zetsu I sent out to inform Big Brother hasn't sent any news yet..."

"This guy must be one of the guys sent by the Otsutsuki main family to hunt down Mom, no way!"

"I will never let anyone hurt Mom!"

"If too many people die in Kusagakure, no one will be able to protect Mother properly. It seems it's time to take action!"

Black Zetsu's eyes narrowed, and it quickly surged underground. Subsequently, several combined lantern monsters, White Zetsu, emerged from underground, initially causing panic among the civilians, given their bizarre appearance.

However, when they discovered that these strange humanoid monsters spontaneously used their bodies to cover the evacuation of the Kusagakure civilians, they were relieved and began to evacuate the scene in an orderly manner...

The aftershocks of the battle were getting closer and closer to the center of Kusagakure. Urashiki Otsutsuki, with a smug look in his eyes, took in the chakra of another powerful warrior and couldn't help but taunt him.

"Compassion, humanity, so-called emotions—these are the flaws of you inferior beings!"

"How could the lives of the weak affect them!"

"You bastards deserve to be slaughtered by me!"

"You ants, let's see how long you can hold out!"

After saying this, Otsutsuki Urashiki looked at some of the strangely shaped buildings in Kusagakure and charged up for an attack!

Above his body, the five chakra elements began to gather, then formed lightning spears, water guns, fireballs, earth pillars, and wind blades that swept wildly in all directions, with a focus on densely populated areas and special buildings in Kusagakure!

The ninja academy was filled with civilians injured by the aftershocks, and at one point the number of junior and junior grass ninjas even exceeded that of the civilians!

Besides the ninjas risking their lives to cover the civilians' evacuation, there was another important reason: under the ninjutsu that was comparable to a natural disaster, the survival rate of civilians was far lower than that of ninjas!

Countless small snakes slithered through the corridor filled with wounded soldiers, spitting out countless doses of medicine to those in need of treatment.

Orochimaru looked on with a helpless expression as he watched Tsunade use the Summoning Jutsu to create a large number of slugs to stabilize the injuries of the seriously wounded. He then spoke with some curiosity.

"Tsunade, look at you, you're treating Kusagakure like a second Konoha!"

Tsunade's eyes widened in displeasure as she rolled her eyes and glared at Orochimaru.

"And you're still talking about me? Didn't you swear before that you wouldn't waste chakra on saving people?"

Orochimaru sighed and rubbed his forehead, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"After all, we spent so much of Caoying's money and provided so many incredible experiments. Saving these people is our way of repaying them."

At this moment, outside the ninja academy, more than a dozen Uzumaki youths dressed in red robes were quickly setting up a defensive barrier under the command of an old man.

Suddenly, several lightning spears shot out, instantly shattering everyone's hard work. Above, Otsutsuki Urashiki, like a god descending to earth, was gradually approaching!
