Chapter 158: Let Us End This All
Naruto's voice became resolute, "Even if it costs me my life, I will bring you back to Konoha Village."
Sasuke looked at Naruto, a flash of shock crossing his eyes.
He hadn't expected Naruto to be willing to pay with his life for him.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a powerful surge of energy flooding his body, giving him a sense of unprecedented strength.
"Naruto, thank you."
Sasuke murmured softly, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
He gave Naruto a deep look and then silently stood up.
"Let's end this."
Sasuke's voice echoed through the valley, making the entire place seem to vibrate.
He no longer hid his true strength, launching an all-out attack on Naruto.
With every strike, he felt his power growing stronger and stronger.
And Naruto also felt the powerful energy radiating from Sasuke.
He knew that this duel had become increasingly intense.
"Leaf Hurricane!"
Naruto shouted, his whole body spinning rapidly to form a massive whirlwind.
Sasuke looked at the incoming whirlwind, a flash of alarm in his eyes.
He knew he couldn't let himself be defeated like this.
So, he violently gathered all of his Chakra, forming a massive black flame.
"Kirin!"
Sasuke roared, the entire valley seemingly shaken by his voice.
His black flames instantly struck Naruto's Leaf Hurricane, swallowing it in a moment.
Naruto was greatly surprised; he hadn't expected Sasuke to suddenly become so powerful.
However, just then, Sasuke suddenly felt a powerful backlash.
His black flames abruptly extinguished, and he was sent flying back, crashing heavily to the ground.
Sasuke lay on the ground, his body severely damaged from the previous attack.
However, he wore a satisfied smile.
"Naruto... you are strong."
He murmured softly and then silently closed his eyes.
Naruto's face paled with shock as he rushed over to support Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Are you okay! Are you okay!"
Naruto shouted anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
However, Sasuke had lost consciousness and could not respond.
On the other side, the infiltration and reconnaissance squad was tensely monitoring Madara's base.
They discovered that the Edo Tensei army and an army of a hundred thousand White Zetsu were already prepared and ready to strike at any moment.
The atmosphere of war grew thicker, leaving everyone feeling oppressed and uneasy.
However, just then, friction began to arise among the Ninjas of the various Villages.
Due to their different beliefs and stances, conflicts and disputes began to emerge.
This friction gradually escalated, beginning to affect the morale of the entire Allied Forces.
Just as the impact of this opposition was expanding, a person stepped forward.
It was Gaara, the Regimental Commander and Fourth Division Commander; he possessed great strength and unwavering conviction.
"Everyone, calm down!"
Gaara's voice echoed in everyone's ears, causing the originally clamorous scene to gradually settle.
He stood on high ground, looking at every person with a steady gaze.
"We have all gathered here for the same goal: to protect our homes and safeguard our loved ones."
"Now, with war on the verge of breaking out, we cannot continue with this internal strife."
"Only by uniting can we defeat a powerful enemy."
Every word Gaara spoke was filled with power and conviction, causing the previously low morale to gradually rise again.
People began to look at one another, the hostility and conflict in their eyes slowly dissipating.
They knew Gaara was right; only by uniting as one could they overcome the impending crisis.
Meanwhile, the Surprise Attack Division led by Kankuro, including Matsuri, Omoi, and others, was moving silently.
Using high-level Ninjutsu, they quietly infiltrated the enemy's territory from above.
Members of the Akatsuki Organization were controlling the Allied Ninjas from the shadows, attempting to turn them into their pawns.
They used the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to summon Ninjas who had already died back to the battlefield.
These deceased retained their strength and memories from when they were alive, becoming the Akatsuki Organization's most powerful weapons.
Akatsuki deliberately arranged for these resurrected Ninjas to fight against those they were related to in life, intending to use their emotional entanglements to weaken the Allied Forces' combat effectiveness.
However, the Allied Forces did not shrink back because of this.
They knew that war was cruel, but to protect their homes and loved ones, they had to face all of this bravely.
As the surprise attack units from both sides clashed, the fuse of war was ignited.
The entire battlefield was instantly plunged into chaos and slaughter.
Ninjas fought one another, their blood staining the earth red.
However, amidst this chaos, there were also Ninjas who remained clear-headed and rational.
They knew that only by uniting could they defeat this powerful enemy.
The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a massive hell, filled with pain and despair.
Yet, within this chaos and slaughter, there were also Ninjas silently adhering to their convictions and missions.
To guard their homes and loved ones, they bravely faced every difficulty and challenge.
The war had only just begun, and the road ahead was very, very long.
But no matter what difficulties and challenges they encountered, they would walk on resolutely until the final victory.
At this time, the surprise attack unit led by Kankuro had already engaged with the Edo Tensei unit.
Matsuri's older brother, Shinyu, was also among the list of those reincarnated via Edo Tensei.
Shinyu's power was exceptionally great, putting Kankuro and the others into a difficult struggle.
However, Matsuri was unwilling to strike her own brother.
She stood to the side, her eyes full of struggle and pain.
"Matsuri, get out of the way!"
Kankuro shouted and pulled Matsuri to the side.
Shinyu's attack missed instantly, and he turned his head in some confusion to look at Matsuri.
Matsuri was trembling all over; she gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes full of complex emotions.
"Brother..."
She murmured softly, her voice filled with endless sorrow and longing.
Shinyu froze for a moment; he slowly turned his head and saw a drawing in Matsuri's hand.
It was a photo of them from when they were children, standing shoulder to shoulder with bright smiles.
Seeing this drawing, a flash of daze appeared in Shinyu's eyes.
It was as if he had returned to those carefree childhood days, having spent many happy times with Matsuri.
However, all of that was just a memory.
Shinyu's gaze quickly turned cold, and he launched another attack at Matsuri.
Matsuri was shocked and hurriedly dodged.
At the same time, her heart was filled with pain and helplessness.
She knew that Shinyu was already being controlled by the Edo Tensei Jutsu, becoming a puppet of the enemy.
However, she could not bring herself to kill her own elder brother...
As Matsuri dodged, Shinyu's attacks became increasingly fierce.
He seemed to have lost his mind, knowing only how to kill incessantly.
Looking at Shinyu's cold gaze, Matsuri was filled with despair.
"Why... why did it turn out like this..."
Matsuri wept softly, unable to accept this cruel reality.
And Shinyu, amidst Matsuri's weeping, stopped his attack once again.
