Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 465: The Earth-Moon Battle

More than half an hour later, Minato returned to the ninja alliance headquarters at the border of the Land of Frost. Fugaku was the first to approach, while a small group of people who were aware of the situation also looked toward him. Especially the leaders from the other three major villages like Ōnoki, they all felt nervous and restless seeing Minato return.

On one hand, they were very curious about whether Minato had succeeded. On the other hand, they were also worried that he might break his promise and 'stop by' their villages on the way, launching a surprise attack!

After all, aside from Kirigakure and the Land of Iron, the other three major villages had mobilized all their elite forces, leaving them extremely vulnerable. They had joined the ninja alliance and sent troops on this expedition at great risk.

"Is it done?"

"It's done!" Minato nodded firmly.

"Kirigakure and the Land of Iron have been destroyed?"

"They've been destroyed!"

*Hiss—*

An invisible gasp of shock echoed around. They were stunned that in such a short time, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, along with the strongest neutral nation, could be so easily destroyed by the Fourth Hokage alone?

This made the previous ninja wars seem like child's play! It made the other three villages that had chosen to join the alliance feel relieved and grateful for their decision.

"They..."

"Most of the buildings have been destroyed, and the main forces have also been defeated by me. In the near future, they won't be able to pose a threat anymore."

Minato gave a very clear answer. At this moment, Kirigakure and the fortress city of Tekkawa in the Land of Iron had been reduced to rubble. In any case, they wouldn't be able to stab any village in the back.

Honestly, even Minato himself, after quickly destroying Kirigakure and the Land of Iron, felt a bit dizzy. He couldn't help but reflect:

'Destroying enemy villages turns out to be this easy? Am I too strong? Or are the enemies too weak? If only the First Hokage had unified the entire ninja world back then, how great that would have been! No need to keep fighting wars endlessly!'

Of course, Minato also knew that with Hashirama's personality, he definitely wouldn't start a war. The other villages, especially Iwagakure, after 'challenging' Madara, became very obedient and quiet. During the First Hokage's tenure, who would dare provoke Konoha?

The troublesome Ōtsutsuki threat on the moon, which was a headache for us, was easily handled by the First Hokage and others, and they only needed two people! Even the Ōtsutsuki issue on the moon was resolved casually after dealing with Isshiki.

Without comparison, no one was hurt!

"Haaahhh..."

Suddenly, Minato somewhat understood Parallel World 3 Orochimaru's choice. If the entire ninja world were truly unified, there would be no need to worry about backstabbing.

Minato sighed inwardly, dispelling the distracting thoughts, and began focusing on the upcoming battle.

"How are you feeling? Do you need to rest for a bit?" Fugaku asked in a heavy voice.

As the leader of the ninja alliance, Minato couldn't fight in a weakened state. If something happened, all of Konoha's current advantages would be lost.

"No need, I'm fine."

Minato waved his hand. Releasing a few 'candies' meant nothing to the Kyūbi; the 'Kyuubi chakra battery' was still full, enough to handle the next battle.

And with our forces gathered here, every second wasted added to the risk.

"Inform the entire army, move out immediately!"

Minato raised his hand, giving the order to depart.

Many Iwagakure ninjas began using earth techniques, manipulating the ground to clear a path, and soon revealed the bluish-green lake hidden in the underground cave.

Konoha had already conducted experiments; passing through the lake below would lead us to the space-time tunnel that directly connects to the moon!

Of course, there were some challenges to overcome.

First: The enemy had set up genjutsu traps inside the space-time tunnel. Every ninja who entered would be trapped in a cage made of memory fences. Those with weak genjutsu resistance would be stuck inside.

They would either have to break free on their own or ask for help from comrades to dispel the genjutsu.

Either way, it would take time and create a huge opening for the enemy.

Of course, the ninja alliance had already prepared a strategy for this.

"All Uchiha ninjas, step forward!" Fugaku shouted, full of energy.

"Ready!"

Nearly a hundred Uchiha ninjas from Konoha stepped forward, following the pre-planned instructions, immediately activating their Sharingan and controlling a group of nearby Konoha ninjas.

If you're worried about falling into the enemy's genjutsu, better use our own genjutsu first!

This way, there's no need to worry about being trapped in the enemy's genjutsu.

Unless the enemy's genjutsu trap has power equivalent to the Mangekyō Sharingan, it might be able to overcome our genjutsu.

Unfortunately, after experimentation, the enemy's genjutsu trap wasn't that strong.

Quickly, the Konoha ninjas controlled by the Sharingan genjutsu began jumping into the lake below in an orderly manner.

The First Total War Against the Moon officially began!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Meanwhile, on the other side, on the moon.

The Ōtsutsuki on the moon were fully aware of the attack from the ninja world. Several lunar observatories monitored the movements of the earth ninjas in real-time and reported them to the Ōtsutsuki clan leader, Aoto.

Aoto, who had previously been defeated by Minato and the others, not only lost his elite forces but also nearly lost his beloved son, Toneri.

During this time, he had been furious, and many clan members were worried that their leader would immediately launch an all-out battle against the earth and suffer a total defeat.

However, Aoto remained very calm and patient.

He wasn't in a hurry to start an all-out battle against the ninja world.

Instead, he was busy organizing the clan's forces to build defenses and traps, while he himself often disappeared, perhaps planning something.

Finally, the day of the all-out battle from the ninja world arrived.

Aoto carefully knocked out his beloved son, Toneri, and placed him in a safe, forbidden room.

Then he appeared before the Ōtsutsuki moon warriors, ready to face the full-scale attack from the ninja alliance.

"How is it? Have the earth insects started?"

Aoto sat on his throne, asking his guard.

"Report, Leader, they've started. The enemy's vanguard has already entered the lake."

"Numbers?"

"Not many, only a few hundred, but they don't seem to be affected by the genjutsu traps..."

"Unaffected? No problem, that was expected. Ordinary genjutsu has limited effectiveness."

"Leader, what should we do?"

"Good, send the first puppet squad and Akashi. Try to hold the enemy's vanguard near the bottom of the lake."

"Understood!"

"Also, keep monitoring the movements of the main ninja forces. Once most of their ninjas enter the lake, we can destroy the space-time tunnel!"

"The space-time chaos will kill all the ninjas inside! Fourth Hokage! This time, I'll make you lose everything!"

Aoto commanded with a cold voice, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger.
