Whoosh!
The sealing formula quickly spread across the still-regenerating Edo Tensei body.
"AAARGH—!"
Gari's twisted scream echoed from within the smoke.
He couldn't understand it.
He had infinite chakra.
An immortal body.
So why—
Why had he been defeated so effortlessly immediately after being resurrected?
And by some unheard-of ninja using Explosion Release no less?
Was this guy from Iwagakure?
But the shinobi beside him had all been wearing Konoha forehead protectors!
What the hell was going on?!
…
Before he could ask another question—
The sealing technique completely locked him down.
"How boring…"
Ning Feng sighed lightly.
He honestly couldn't tell whether Kabuto's Edo Tensei warriors were too weak—
Or whether he himself was simply too strong.
To Ning Feng, this so-called Great Ninja War felt like children playing house.
If Yakushi Kabuto heard that thought—
He'd probably curse furiously on the spot.
His Edo Tensei had already reached a level nearly comparable to Orochimaru's.
And thanks to using White Zetsu—cultivated from Hashirama cells—as sacrifice vessels, the resurrected shinobi were actually stronger than in life.
Combined with immortality and infinite chakra—
Every Edo Tensei warrior was an extremely troublesome opponent.
Yet now Ning Feng was calling them weak?
Pathetic?
It was practically denying all of Kabuto's recent improvements.
Ning Feng looked at the thoroughly sealed Gari and shook his head in mild emotion.
In just a single day—
He had already used the Four Symbols Seal countless times.
Back when he first obtained this S-rank sealing technique, he only intended it as an emergency option.
Who would've thought it would become this useful so quickly?
Because he had started digging up powerful shinobi graves over a decade earlier than in the original timeline, Orochimaru possessed far more elite specimens than expected.
Which meant—
Kabuto had stolen an enormous number of them as well.
If nothing unexpected happened—
This battlefield would soon see many legendary figures from the ninja world's past.
—
"Another one got sealed?"
Inside Obito and Black Zetsu's hidden cave…
Yakushi Kabuto maintained a one-handed seal while staring grimly at the open scroll before him.
He slowly looked away and turned toward the White Zetsu beside him.
"Did any information come back? Why are the Edo Tensei being defeated so quickly?"
The White Zetsu beside him had supposedly been assigned to relay battlefield intel in real time.
But Kabuto knew perfectly well—
Its real purpose was surveillance.
Even after joining them—
Obito and Black Zetsu still didn't fully trust him.
"Amegakure's Rain Shadow appeared on the Konoha battlefield…"
"All Edo Tensei shinobi are being sealed almost instantly."
The White Zetsu spoke after a moment of silence.
Its usual playful tone was gone, replaced by heavy seriousness.
Even though their intelligence had always described this Uchiha descendant as monstrously powerful—
Watching Ning Feng effortlessly seal Edo Tensei shinobi one after another had made them realize something terrifying.
Ning Feng's strength…
Had likely surpassed their understanding entirely.
"Rain Shadow-sama…"
Kabuto's heart sank.
The first time he met Orochimaru-sama and the Rain Shadow—
His beliefs had already begun shifting.
Even now, everything he was doing—
Was to prove that he had surpassed them.
Yet Ning Feng remained like an enormous mountain before him.
No matter how desperately Kabuto climbed—
Every peak only revealed another, even higher summit.
Only now did he realize—
That the Rain Shadow was also highly proficient in sealing techniques.
"Still… there's no need to lose heart. No matter how powerful he is, he's definitely not Madara-sama's match!"
Thinking of his trump card steadied Kabuto somewhat.
Originally, he had only wanted to prove himself to Orochimaru and Ning Feng.
But now—
His competitive spirit had been fully ignited.
A ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes.
If the Rain Shadow is that strong…
Then I'll just have to work even harder.

…
Just as Ning Feng's true body sat atop Amegakure's tower with eyes closed, waiting for his shadow clones to locate Kabuto—
Several game announcements interrupted his thoughts.
[World Announcement]
The new version update — Great Ninja War Arc — has officially begun!
All players, immediately proceed to the teleportation stones in your respective hidden villages and head to the major battlefields!
Konoha and Amegakure players must resist the invasion from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Uchiha Madara!
Players from other villages must cooperate with their village leaders in the assault!
All player performance in this campaign will be converted into Dungeon Points!
The players in World Chat hadn't even recovered from the first announcement—
Before the next one exploded like a bomb into the channel.
The Great Ninja War?!
How long had it even been since the Nine-Tails Incident arc ended?
And now the Great Ninja War was already here?!
"HELL YES! Another large-scale raid event!"
"I'm from Kumogakure this time! We're assisting the super boss Uchiha Madara!"
"Don't remind me! Last time during the Nine-Tails event I was on Madara's side too, and then Uchiha Feng spawned a golden giant and one-shot all of us!"
"LMAO one-hit 9999 damage! Uchiha Feng's strength is unfathomable now. Amegakure players are living the dream!"
"Seriously. Last event I did absolutely nothing beside Uchiha Feng and still got hundreds of thousands of dungeon points. Felt amazing!"
"Uchiha Feng-sama please carry me! I'm rushing to spend all my Iwagakure points and transfer to Amegakure immediately!"
…
Ning Feng stared speechlessly at the utterly shameless player chat.
Especially those people trying to defect villages in the middle of a war just to farm points.
