Naruto: I Survived Two Wars Without You, System!

"A single ninja village with multiple Kage titles?"

Onoki's face darkened. Instinctively, he cast a sidelong glance at Yagura Karatachi beside him.

He had never imagined that Kei Yamanaka truly possessed such grand ambitions as claimed.

Even if the positions of Tsuchikage, Mizukage, Raikage, and Kazekage remained, they would become mere symbols—honorary rather than authoritative!

In the end, it would be the Hokage who held all real power.

If he agreed to these terms as the Tsuchikage, how could he face the past Tsuchikages in the afterlife? How could he look those Iwagakure ninja in the eye—those who had sacrificed their lives for their village?

Moreover, this man, Kei Yamanaka, was unbearably arrogant, displaying blatant disrespect toward Iwagakure's might!

The only thing preventing matters from spiraling further was that Roshi and Han were absent today.

If they had been here and combined the power of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, even if they couldn't defeat the enemy, they wouldn't have been pushed into such a disadvantageous position!

Cursed be the Mist Village!

Cursed be you, Yagura Karatachi!

No decent person would betray others like this!

A surge of fury rose in Onoki's chest, impossible to swallow or spit out—he burned with the urge to kill Yagura Karatachi right then.

But he knew better.

If he attacked Yagura Karatachi now and refused Kei Yamanaka's demands,

he'd likely never leave this barrier alive.

And should he die,

who else could bear the weight of leading Iwagakure against this monstrous foe?

It wouldn't be long before Iwagakure became the first to fall.

"My Kirigakure will be the first to support your unification of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Just grant me one small favor, and immediately—as the Fourth Mizukage—I shall lead Kirigakure to unite with Konoha!"

Controlled by Black Zetsu, Yagura Karatachi's mind raced, and he spoke first.

Since thousands of years ago, his goal had always been simple: rescuing his imprisoned mother.

What became of the ninja world or the Five Great Hidden Villages meant nothing to him.

What difference did it make if the Mist Village joined the Leaf?

The stronger one grows, the hungrier they become for more power.

As long as this man wielded the Six Paths Sage's powers and felt even the slightest curiosity about them, there was still hope to break the seal trapping his mother.

"Sorry, but until you're dead, I won't feel at ease."

Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Kei Yamanaka scoffed coldly, ignoring Onoki's grim expression beside him.

With both hands clapped together, the ground began to quake violently.

Enormous tree roots, hundreds of meters deep, burst forth from the earth—and together with the surrounding trees, shot up toward the sky once more!

"Roar!"

A pained roar tore from Yagura Karatachi's throat.

Knowing escape would not come easily, Black Zetsu risked it all, fully releasing the seal on Yagura's body.

Three-Tails Isobu's chakra surged uncontrollably.

In an instant, countless trees buckled under its force, splintered and flattened as the massive form of the Three-Tails—dozens of meters tall—emerged in full!

Seizing the moment, Tobi reclaimed the Rinnegan powers dispersed across the Six Paths clones.

He quickly stepped back, hiding beneath the belly of the Three-Tails. Black Zetsu also peeled away from Yagura Karatachi's body and latched onto him!

Tobi pressed one hand against the belly of Isobu, the Three-Tails.

Using the power of the Rinnegan, he frantically siphoned the other's chakra.

With his other hand extended downward, he unleashed what was, at that moment, his most powerful Rinnegan technique!

[Summoning Technique: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!]

Boom!

A Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, over ten times the size of Isobu, erupted from the ground, sending the furious Three-Tails flying off its back.

Its massive head, crowned with ten tightly shut eyes, let out a deafening roar—rolling shockwaves sent vines and shattered wood flying in every direction!

Swinging its arms wildly, countless towering trees snapped and collapsed!

The colossal figure rose up from the earth, flailing like a hunting hound, lunging toward the golden-red [Sage Art: Four Red Yang Formation] nearby!

[Sage Art: Wood Release: Four Vajra Guardians Helping an Elderly Lady Cross the Street!]

Kei Yamanaka made up a name for the technique on the spot.

Earlier, having already burst forth from the earth and merged with the surrounding trees, the massive tree branches stretching skyward swiftly transformed into four wrathful Vajra figures entwined with colossal dragons.

They rushed from all sides of the barrier toward the Demonic Statue.

With brutal efficiency—ramming shoulders into hips, gouging eyes, striking groins, and dragging limbs—they pinned it face-down onto the forest floor!

Although each of these enhanced wooden giants remained slightly smaller than the Demonic Statue, which itself was over ten times larger than the Three-Tails,

Combined, their strength was too much for even the husk of the Ten-Tails to withstand!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The forest summoned by Flower Tree World churned and surged with life.

It transformed into layers upon layers of enormous lotus petals cloaked in golden-red radiance.

A towering lotus platform over a kilometer in diameter vaulted skyward from beneath the ground.

On this massive wooden lotus platform, countless twisted and entangled tree limbs trapped the Demonic Statue, making it sink into quicksand!

"Roar!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the Demonic Statue roared furiously, its limbs were wrenched and twisted by the immense pressure of the Wood Release.

Two wooden giants in the form of wrathful Vajras wrenched the statue's arms behind its back, tightly hugging them across its chest.

The other two giants pushed from front and back, slamming the Demonic Statue face-first onto the lotus platform!

[Sage Art: Wood Release: Final Descent – The Hammer Falls!]

Kei Yamanaka clapped his hands together, unleashing Sage Chakra in a surge as violent as water breaking through a dam.

Each of the four wooden giants raised one hand high, revealing a huge character meaning 'sit' on their palms, before violently slamming them down onto the Demonic Statue!

Vibrations unique to Final Descent – The Hammer Falls rippled outward.

The previously struggling Demonic Statue immediately fell silent!

No matter how hard Tobi tried to control it from within, it wouldn't respond even the slightest bit!

With no choice left, he abandoned the Demonic Statue and shot skyward like an arrow loosed from a bow, making a desperate last-ditch effort to reach the Four Red Yang Formation.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Kei Yamanaka's figure had already appeared atop the tallest wooden giant through the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Looking at Tobi and Black Zetsu dozens of meters away trying to break free, he mentally called out to the system:

"System, strip Black Zetsu's [Yin-Yang Creation] skill listing!"

The voice trailed off.

A jet-black beam, visible only to Kei Yamanaka, shot straight into Black Zetsu's body and vanished in an instant.

"No! Ah～"

Black Zetsu let out a non-human, ear-splitting shriek.

His original body, no larger than a human palm and cowering before Tobi, also emitted streams of smoke as if doused in scalding oil. It flailed helplessly as it was thrown free from Tobi's grasp.

The Six Paths-level Yin-Yang Release chakra presence rapidly dissipated.

In just a few seconds.

The architect of a thousand years of conflict—the shadow puppeteer—was instantly vaporized into raw chakra, scattering into the heavens and earth!

[Ding~ Early elimination of one antagonist boss. The world line progression has experienced major deviation. Obtained: Keyword Copy opportunity x2, Red Skill Listing Upgrade opportunity x1, Keyword Draw opportunity x3, Keyword Gift Opportunity x3, Keyword Downgrade opportunity x1, Keyword Reset opportunity x2.]

Along with the system notification sounding.

Next moment, under the effects of the Fortune Player skill listing,

massive waves of destiny power surged from Black Zetsu's collapsing form toward Kei Yamanaka, rapidly coalescing into thick threads of personal fortune.

This surge of fortune power merged with the vibrant blue aura already encircling Kei Yamanaka.
