Chapter 445 - The Naruto World's Temporary Conclusion

On the main battlefield of Konoha, blood flowed like a river...

Even though the Konoha shinobi fought desperately to resist, they found themselves in a state of steady retreat when faced with the Suna shinobi, whose strength crushed them in every aspect.

Holding a kodachi, Uchiha Akira similarly executed the Uchiha Style Taijutsu: Scattered Snow, Moon, and Flowers. Amidst the dancing afterimages, his blade pierced straight through Yamanaka Fu's throat, drafting his own battle of vengeance with a cold and ruthless demeanor.

Compared to the other Suna shinobi, Akira's targets were entirely members of the Foundation. Clearly, Danzo and the Foundation were his primary targets for revenge.

Seeing Yamanaka Fu's death, Aburame Torune deployed his poisonous insect jutsu. However, the flames burning upon Akira's kodachi transformed into a magnificent Body Flicker flash storm, incinerating any poisonous insects that attempted to draw near into absolute nothingness in a split second.

Uchiha Style: Gale Sword!

Flickering directly behind Aburame Torune, the kodachi in his hand executed a powerful diagonal slash, generating a massive blade of fire.

The exact instant the blazing torrent struck Torune's body, countless poisonous insects erupted from Torune's frame, diffusing into Uchiha Akira's body.

Aburame Torune possessed a unique capability within his clan. His body hosted highly toxic, nano-sized venomous insects, giving him absolute immunity to toxins.

If anyone else became infected by this poison, they would die as a direct result of their internal cells being thoroughly destroyed.

These insects could only exist within living biological cells, reproducing by destroying them; the moment the host died, the insects would perish along with them.

Because of Torune's highly specialized ability, these poisonous insects could only survive within his own body. Precisely because of this, he wore protective clothing that covered nearly his entire frame.

The reason he had never attended the Ninja Academy was also due to this very factor; it wasn't that he didn't want to attend, but rather that it was strictly forbidden.

Yet, Uchiha Akira made a split-second decision. The kodachi in his hand swiftly severed his own infected arm, and immediately after, countless flame energies formed a colossal Great Fireball, blasting directly onto Aburame Torune.

Following the explosion of the rampaging energy, Torune's body was torn into fragments, completely blasted to pieces.

Having completed the double kill, Uchiha Akira's expression was filled with exhaustion. Seeing that his body was failing him and making it difficult to stand, Danzo materialized out of nowhere from behind, deploying a Wind Style technique.

The Wind Style gale lunged forward, only to be neutralized into nothingness in an instant. Uzumaki Tomoki appeared on the battlefield at extreme speed, shielding Uchiha Akira behind his back.

"You Uzumaki clan brat..."

"Shimura Danzo, in factual reality, there are many things we can discuss between us—for example, the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools all those years ago!"

Amidst a thunderous explosion, the spiritual blade in Uzumaki Tomoki's hand condensed into form, locking its target dead onto Danzo.

Meanwhile, on the focal sector of the battlefield, Shiraishi personally stepped onto the field. The vanguard squad composed of the four Hokage—Senju Tobirama, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Tsunade—directly surrounded Shiraishi completely.

"Konoha's defensive system has already collapsed, and the fighting has now entered the interior of the village. The combat effectiveness of our ground puppet forces means this Shinobi World War can be concluded in less than three hours."

Shiraishi calmly narrated an absolute fact. However, Tsunade suddenly lunged forward, her monstrous strength punch striking with dominant force.

"Tsunade, don't be reckless!"

Facing Tsunade's all-out punch, the Dragon Seal within Shiraishi's eyes flashed instantly. He composedly caught her fist with a single hand: "This level of strength is completely insufficient to behold..."

The moment the words left his mouth, the Deva Divine Sword struck directly, forcefully shattering Tsunade's ribs. Minato Namikaze attempted to provide support, but the Subspace Severance abruptly erupted across the space, instantly blocking Minato's Flying Raijin teleportation.

Immediately following this, Shiraishi turned and delivered a punch that sent the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, flying backward. Simultaneously, a gale of vortex blades diffused outward, completely shredding Senju Tobirama, who was using the Flying Raijin above!

In a mere span of one minute, Shiraishi had completely crushed the four Hokage.

"You are simply not my opponents. If you continue to persist in resisting, Konoha will only plunge into an even greater disaster."

"Konoha will absolutely never surrender!"

Seeing Konoha's vow to resist until death, Shiraishi offered no further empty words. As he prepared to unleash his killing blow once more, two dominant surges of chakra energy swept over the area.

Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki!

Uchiha Madara!

Amidst a thunderous explosion, Unohana Retsu made her move, the power of her Zanpakuto completely unleashed. The instant she activated her Bankai, she charged directly at Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki.

On the other side, Kikyo completely activated the power of the Shikon Jewel. The formidable Shikon energy infused Kikyo's entire body, forming a purifying radiance that comprehensively suppressed Uchiha Madara.

At this moment, Fire Fist Ace and Uzumaki Menma locked onto Senju Rona behind Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki. However, the latter merely shook his head, revealing a facial expression that showed he had absolutely no desire to fight.

As the total war between Sunagakure and Konoha escalated to the absolute peak, Uzumaki Tomoko's expression below suddenly shifted. Her body seemed to slip completely out of her control, and the third eye—the Tenseigan upon her forehead—abruptly released a blood-red radiance.

"Tomoko, what's wrong with you?"

"Get away, don't come near me!"

At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto walked forward with slow strides. As the little red snake materialized once more, the Gedo Mazo slowly rose from the ground.

The seven Tailed Beasts Shiraishi had previously collected were all stored within the Gedo Mazo, and Uzumaki Tomoko was the very key to controlling the statue.

As Yakushi Kabuto channeled the Eight-Tails into the Gedo Mazo, Minato Namikaze's body lost all control, and the Yin Nine-Tails within him broke through its seal, violently bursting forth from his frame!

The Impure World Reincarnation was, after all, a technique he had originally researched and developed for Konoha's sake...

"As expected, you aren't any sort of Indra chakra..."

Shiraishi quietly lowered his head, staring at the distant Yakushi Kabuto who had suddenly seized control of the Gedo Mazo: "To be precise, I should address you as Asura!"

The Asura whom Shiraishi had encountered in the ancient Forest of Asura in the past was precisely the mysterious person controlling Yakushi Kabuto right now. The consciousness of Indra's chakra was merely a deceptive play he had intentionally used to mislead Shiraishi and the Sage of Six Paths.

Controlling Yakushi Kabuto, Asura spoke softly: "I truly must express my gratitude to you, Shiraishi, for creating such a perfect masterpiece as Uzumaki Tomoko. Without her, this Infinite Tsukuyomi spanning across three distinct worlds would never have truly reached completion."

In that exact instant, Senju Rona suddenly made his move, his strike instantly piercing through Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki's body and destroying the core chakra heart within him.

"You..."

Under the suppression of a specialized seal, Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki discovered that he could not control his body's power, which was continuously draining away and reversing its flow directly into Senju Rona's body.

"Senju Rona was merely another split will that I laid down a century ago."

The rapid, lightning-fast changes in the situation left the ordinary shinobi of both Konoha and Suna completely unable to process what was happening. However, Shiraishi understood perfectly well that Ōtsutsuki Asura's Infinite Tsukuyomi was absolutely not as simple as merely summoning Kaguya.

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara directly activated his Susanoo to launch an attack, only to be blasted into shards by a Tailed Beast Bomb unleashed by the Gedo Mazo.

The first Infinite Tsukuyomi of the future timeline!

The second Infinite Tsukuyomi within the Limited Tsukuyomi world of the Fifth World!

And the third Infinite Tsukuyomi within Shiraishi's current native world!

The three Infinite Tsukuyomi spanning across time and space caused the worlds to show distinct signs of overlapping. The Rinne Sharingan upon the massive Gedo Mazo seemed to declare the beginning of the world's destruction, entering the final countdown state.

At this very moment, the bodies of Yakushi Kabuto and Senju Rona began to fuse into one another. Having absorbed the Rinnegan power of Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki, coupled with the Sage Body of the Senju clan and the soul mode of Ryuchi Cave, Ōtsutsuki Asura had spanned a millennium to finally complete his resurrection ritual.

A terrifying surge of world-ending chakra energy flooded the entire realm. Seeing that the world was on the brink of absolute destruction, Shiraishi flickered instantly beneath the Gedo Mazo, a colossal sealing array abruptly manifesting on the ground.

"With a mere modicum of sealing power, what exactly do you think you can stop?"

"Is that so?"

Accompanying Shiraishi's words, Gaara slowly collapsed into unconsciousness on the other side of the battlefield.

Gaara's fainting signified that the Infinite Tsukuyomi of the netherworld was being thoroughly dismantled.

The future timeline's Yamato, who was controlled by Shiraishi, commanded the Moon Ring Bats to merge into the Gedo Mazo, forming a unique light of the dark night.

Gaara was the critical existence bridging the Infinite Tsukuyomi of both worlds; his return to his native world symbolized that the first foundational link had been severed!

Immediately following this, the controlled Uzumaki Tomoko's forehead eye switched its state once more, a vast, unprecedented ocean of energy diffusing outward.

All along, the third eye upon Tomoko's forehead was not the Tenseigan, but rather an entirely different, specialized bloodline. In the historical records of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon, it was addressed as the Jougan!

"My body..."

The third step was the modification of the Ryuchi Cave's Eight Branches Sage Art—this was the bargaining chip resulting from the collaboration between the White Snake Sage and Shiraishi, a factor that even Ōtsutsuki Asura had been kept completely in the dark about.

"So now, answer me: who exactly are you?"

Faced with Shiraishi's question, Ōtsutsuki Asura narrowed his eyes: "Who am I? Heh, Aoki Shiraishi, do you truly believe you have won?"

The moment the words left his mouth, a massive "Release" (Kai) seal manifested beneath Ōtsutsuki Asura. In a flash, the entire Gedo Mazo and the Shinobi World began to exhibit signs of genuine collapse and total destruction...

"Oh no!"

The world seemed to freeze entirely in this singular fraction of a second...

The story of Naruto comes to a temporary close right here...

The One Piece World • Sea Calendar Year 1497.

A small vessel sailed across the surface of the sea... forced to navigate with extreme caution in the face of the raging wind and torrential rain.

Shiraishi picked up the pair of gloves he had originally left behind in the One Piece world, a look of sheer embarrassment surfacing on his face.

Although he had successfully arrived in the One Piece world to locate a method to resolve the crisis of his original Naruto world, the moment he arrived here, not only had the timeline experienced a severe deviation, but Shiraishi had also discovered an exceptionally grave problem—

This world did not possess even a single trace of chakra...
