Chapter 745 I am the Fourth Hokage and the Master of the Ninja Clan! (7k big chapter, please give me a monthly ticket)

“Kumogakure’s strongest Lightning Release Chakra Mode truly lives up to its reputation,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a sigh of relief and a smile.

“The Hokage’s title of ‘Professor of Ninjutsu’ is also well-deserved,” the Third Raikage responded calmly, glancing at the Kage on the hillside.

After exchanging a couple of pleasantries, Hiruzen Sarutobi prepared to return to the hillside to rest.

The recent battle had consumed a lot of his Chakra and stamina, and he needed to recover well for the ambush after the Martial Arts Tournament.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, the Third Raikage suddenly burst into action.

Zzzzt!

Crackling!

The Third Raikage erupted with Chakra, entering his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and transformed into a blue flash as he charged towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“Lightning Style Kill!”

The Third Raikage concentrated a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra into his right hand, then swung out a hand-blade wrapped in dazzling lightning.

“Lord Third, be careful!”

Minato, whose eyes were sharp, immediately shouted loudly upon seeing this, and at the same time, instantly threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai towards the combat area.

He didn’t understand why the Third Raikage would attack Hiruzen Sarutobi, but since the opponent had made a move, the most urgent matter was to protect Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“Huh?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned tightly, hastily activated his Chakra, and crossed his arms in front of him, adopting a defensive stance.

But how powerful was the Third Raikage’s strength? It was not something Hiruzen Sarutobi could withstand with a hasty defense.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Hiruzen Sarutobi flew out like a launched cannonball, breaking ten large trees before finally stopping.

This sudden change shocked the Konoha Ninja present.

They had agreed to a Five Great Ninja Villages siege on the Shinobi Sect, so why did the Third Raikage suddenly turn traitor?

“What’s going on? Did Kumogakure betray us and join the Shinobi Sect?”

Obito was utterly bewildered, but having experienced many battles by now, he still instinctively gathered Chakra in his body.

“Prepare for battle. Be careful; a terrifying melee is likely to break out here next.”

Kakashi took out Enma from a scroll, his expression solemn as he spoke.

Since the live broadcast hadn’t been interrupted, the viewers watching also showed expressions of disbelief.

This included the Genin and Jonin of Kumogakure who were watching the broadcast.

Because their rank was not high enough, they knew neither of the plan for the five Villages to jointly eliminate the Shinobi Sect nor of the plan for the four Villages to backstab Konoha.

“What’s going on? Did the plan go awry?”

Tsunade, within Six Paths City, frowned tightly, feeling a little worried.

Due to her hemophobia, she couldn’t fully utilize her Ninja combat abilities, and her main role was post-battle medical treatment, so she hadn’t gone to the competition venue.

“Raikage, have you betrayed the alliance?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face terribly grim.

After the recent battle, he had a clear understanding of the Third Raikage’s strength.

If it came to a fight to the death, his chances of winning would be greater.

“Hmph.”

The Third Raikage did not explain, but once again turned into a blue flash and charged forward.

If he had to say, Konoha was the one who betrayed the alliance, after all, their side had the Four Great Shinobi Villages plus a Shinobi Sect, while Konoha only had itself.

“What’s going on? All the Kage have betrayed us!”

A Konoha Ninja looked up and only then realized that a battle had also broken out on the hillside; they had just been too distracted by the Third Raikage’s sneak attack to notice.

Almost at the same time the Third Raikage launched his attack, Ōnoki, Rasa, and the Third Mizukage moved together, attacking Muzuki, who was seated in the middle.

However, unfortunately, even with their combined efforts, they failed to injure Muzuki; they only managed to break the chair Muzuki was sitting on.

“Magnet Release: Gold Dust!”

Rasa placed both hands on the ground and instantly created a large amount of Gold Dust, which surged like giant waves, sweeping Muzuki down into the combat area below the hillside.

“Water Release: Water Hail!”

The Third Mizukage condensed a massive amount of Chakra in his palms, and incredibly dense water bullets rapidly attacked Muzuki.

“Earth Release: Rock Arm!”

Ōnoki infused a large amount of Earth Release Chakra into the ground, creating a gigantic rock hand around Muzuki, which grabbed Muzuki and restrained him.

Boom!

The moment it touched Muzuki, the rock hand shattered violently.

And the Third Mizukage’s water bullets landed precisely on Muzuki’s Armament Haki, failing even to push Muzuki back a centimeter, let alone injure him.

Seeing this, the Konoha Ninja breathed a sigh of relief; they still had the invincible Fourth Hokage, and as long as Muzuki used Wood Release, everything would be fine.

Obito, who had activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, also dispersed the Chakra from his eyes; he had almost given in to the urge to use Kamui to help Muzuki out of his predicament.

Thinking about it carefully, he had been overly nervous. Besides that unfathomable Sōsuke, who at the scene could be a match for the omnipotent Sage Muzuki?

However, why hadn’t Sōsuke attacked with them? Was he disdainful of multiple people ganging up on one?

“So the five-Village joint siege was actually targeting us, Konoha,” Orochimaru said, licking his lips with his tongue, looking at the approaching strong individuals from the Four Great Shinobi Villages with some apprehension.

Too many powerful individuals had gathered here; he couldn’t even confidently defeat Yagura Karatachi of Hidden Mist alone.

“Damn it, we fell for it!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s expression turned incredibly grim. He had never imagined that this was actually a conspiracy between the Four Great Shinobi Villages and the Shinobi Sect.

What Shinobi Sect giving a chance? The Martial Arts Tournament was a setup targeting Konoha from the very beginning.

“Muzuki, Minato, don’t get bogged down in battle. Take as many people as you can and retreat!” Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted hastily.

If it was just the Four Great Shinobi Villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn’t have been so afraid, after all, the Four Great Shinobi Villages had only brought elites, not tens of thousands of Ninja troops.

With so many strong individuals from Konoha at the final venue, mutual cover would make it possible to retreat with most of them.

The problem lay with the Shinobi Sect.

That Sōsuke, who possessed the strength of a God of Shinobi, was here.

With the help of the strong individuals from the four Villages, Sōsuke could easily defeat them one by one, killing all the Konoha Ninja present.

“Summoning Technique!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Enma, preparing to fight to the death with the Kage.

He did not fear death; if it weren’t for his sensei covering their retreat, he would have died decades ago.

Now it was his turn, after all, he was the Hokage, even if not the current Hokage.

“Lord Third, I understand,” Minato said, taking a deep breath, his expression serious, preparing to lead the retreat.

This decision was cruel, but in this desperate moment, it was the best choice.

Konoha alone could not contend with the Four Great Shinobi Villages and the Shinobi Sect; only by preserving the flame and returning to Konoha was the best course of action.

“Obito, later, you don’t need to worry about me. Just ensure your own retreat,” Asuma said in a deep voice.

He knew his own limits; even if he managed to survive, Konoha would at most gain one more ordinary renowned strong individual, but Obito and the others were different; they all had the potential to change Konoha.

If Obito and the others were to suffer any mishap trying to save him, it would be a loss for the entire Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had the spirit to cover Konoha’s retreat; as his son, he couldn’t disgrace Konoha.

Obito said nothing, only gripping the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand tightly.

Muzuki didn’t speak. He believed Muzuki would definitely not let such a tragedy happen.

“Sōsuke, why aren’t you making a move yet? Konoha won’t forget their grudge against you just because you waited two minutes longer,” Ōnoki said, seeing that Sōsuke and Kakuzu had made no move.

Kakuzu didn’t matter, but Sōsuke was a crucial combat force.

Moreover, if Sōsuke didn’t make a move, wouldn’t they become the main force?

The Four Great Shinobi Villages had all reminded their subordinates not to exert themselves too much in battle, but to let the Shinobi Sect do the work, thereby consuming the Shinobi Sect’s strength.

“Tsuchikage, you’re really impatient, aren’t you? One would think Konoha was here to besiege Iwagakure,” Kakuzu quipped.

Before the finals, the Shinobi Sect had held a Jonin meeting.

During the meeting, Sōsuke emphasized that during the finals, the Shinobi Sect Ninja did not need to help any side; they only needed to maintain order and protect themselves.

Ōnoki’s expression was a bit unpleasant, but because he needed the Shinobi Sect’s combat power, he endured it.

“Indeed, it’s time,” Muzuki said, standing up with a faint smile.

Then, Muzuki unhurriedly walked down the hillside, heading towards his split clone.

At the same time, the clone also smiled slightly, walking up the slope towards the main body.

The Third Mizukage and Rasa, seeing this, dispelled the Ninjutsu they were preparing to release.

Muzuki and Sōsuke fighting to the death was the outcome they most wanted to see.

Muzuki might not be able to defeat Sōsuke, but he wouldn’t be too far off; they believed Muzuki was the Ninja closest to Sōsuke in the current Ninja World.

A large number of Jonin also couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards the two.

One was Sōsuke, the leader of the Shinobi Sect, who had easily defeated the Third Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage, currently recognized as the strongest.

The other was the Fourth Hokage, Hayate Mugetsu, who had heavily injured the Fourth Kazekage with a single punch, wielded powerful Wood Release, and was considered to have the demeanor of Senju Hashirama.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying the battle between them would be.

“As expected of the two strongest individuals of this era, they can endure without making a move even at this distance.”

Some Jonin, seeing that the two were only three meters apart and still made no move, marveled at the confidence of top-tier powerhouses; if it were them, they would have long since been unable to resist.

Two and a half meters.

One and a half meters.

Half a meter.

The distance between the two grew closer and closer, but neither of them showed any intention of making the first move.

The Jonin, fearing they would miss the moment the two clashed, all held their breath and concentrated.

When the distance reached 0.1 meters, still no one made an attacking move.

“What’s wrong with these two?” Ōnoki wondered. At this distance, if one launched a surprise attack, no matter how fast the reaction, one would still get injured.

What puzzled Ōnoki even more was that they were so close, yet still showed no intention of stopping. What were they doing?

In the middle of the hillside, Muzuki and his clone met.

Muzuki walked down, and the clone walked up; they brushed past each other.

All the Ninja present were utterly bewildered.

Everyone had question marks on their faces, not knowing what had happened, not understanding why these two strongest individuals weren’t fighting.

But the next moment, something even more surprising happened.

The moment he crossed paths with Sōsuke, the body of the Fourth Hokage, Hayate Mugetsu, dissolved into specks of light and vanished from everyone’s sight.

And the Shinobi Sect leader, Sōsuke, now had a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose, though no one knew when they appeared.

“What’s going on? Where’s Lord Fourth?”

The Konoha Ninja were dumbfounded.

Where did their Fourth Hokage go? Even if he lost to Sōsuke, he wouldn’t lose like this, would he?

“Could it be…?”

Kakashi’s eyelids twitched violently, and an incredibly startling conjecture formed in his mind.

It was a conjecture that, at any other time, would have been dismissed as insane, but at this moment, it was infinitely close to the truth.

“Is that really how it is…?”

Shisui also showed a shocked expression.

“Huh? Muzuki-sensei?”

Obito’s Mangekyo Sharingan rapidly scanned, but he still couldn’t find any trace of Muzuki.

This sudden change left the entire battlefield in confusion; even the fiercely battling Third Raikage and Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped their fight.

“How did the Fourth Hokage disappear? Sōsuke, you…” Ōnoki said, looking at the completely vanished Muzuki, unable to clear his thoughts for a moment, then turned to Sōsuke.

Muzuki did not answer immediately. He lightly activated his Chakra, and his body began to ascend into the sky.

As he ascended, Muzuki pinched the frame with his left hand and took off the black-framed glasses.

At this moment, Muzuki’s appearance rapidly changed; his brown hair turned into dazzling golden hair, shimmering in the sunlight.

At the same time, Muzuki’s face also grew younger, transforming into a more familiar appearance to Ōnoki.

Muzuki casually tossed the black-framed glasses into his system space, then swept his hair back with his right hand, allowing everyone to get a better look at his face.

Finally, Muzuki took out the Rokudo Shakujo from his system space and stood in the sky.

“I am the Fourth Hokage, and also the Shinobi Sect leader.”

Muzuki did not intentionally raise his voice, but his steady voice clearly reached the ears of every Ninja present.

!!!

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Muzuki’s words were like dropping a nuclear bomb into a calm sea; all the Ninja present showed expressions of disbelief and shock.

Nothing else, it was simply too unexpected.

Muzuki is the Hokage with the potential of a God of Shinobi, and Sōsuke is an unparalleled expert who revitalized the Land of Rain and established the modern Shinobi Sect.

These two seemingly unrelated super bigshots are actually the same person. If a Kumogakure Ninja were to describe it,

It would be as absurd as the Third Raikage disguising himself as the Gold and Silver Brothers to kill his teacher, the Second Raikage, and then succeeding him as Raikage.

“How can Sōsuke be Hayate Mugetsu?”

Ōnoki’s body, floating in the sky, swayed, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.

His first reaction was to check his Chakra to see if he was under a genjutsu.

The calm Chakra within him silently told Ōnoki one thing: this was the truth.

At this moment, Ōnoki thought of many things.

He understood why the Shinobi Sect had always been unwilling to cooperate deeply with Iwagakure against Konoha; Sōsuke himself was a Konoha Ninja, so how could he possibly work with Iwagakure against Konoha?

“Hayate Mugetsu, you’ve hidden too deeply. You Konoha have hidden too deeply.”

Ōnoki showed an unwilling expression.

He hadn’t expected that after plotting for so long, he would instead fall into Konoha’s trap. There was never any Sōsuke, only Hayate Mugetsu.

All of this was Konoha’s conspiracy to rule the Ninja World!

Konoha, relying on the Shinobi Sect, had played the entire Ninja World like a fiddle, silently expanding its influence and getting through the most crucial development period.

In just a few seconds, Ōnoki conjured up a decades-long, shocking Konoha conspiracy in his mind.

“Sure enough, you guys are the best at schemes and tricks.”

The Third Raikage was utterly convinced. He thought Konoha had fallen into their trap, but it turned out they had fallen into Konoha’s trap.

He couldn’t have imagined that Sōsuke was Konoha’s Hokage.

What did all their efforts over the past few months amount to?

Persuading Muzuki to lead Konoha Ninja to fight Muzuki’s Shinobi Sect?

Hiruzen Sarutobi: …

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. In just a few minutes, he had received too much shocking information.

First, all his allies betrayed him, and when he thought it was over, the biggest enemy he was supposed to encircle and kill turned out to be one of his own.

He was a bit confused now, unsure if Konoha had any teammates on the field, or who their enemies even were.

“If it’s Muzuki, then that time makes perfect sense.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled the memory of himself provoking the Shinobi Sect a few years ago, forcing Sōsuke into a one-on-one fight with him.

At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought Sōsuke had another motive, or didn’t want to go to war with Konoha, which was why he didn’t kill him.

Now, thinking about it, the real reason was actually very simple: because the one fighting him was Muzuki.

He had once shown kindness to Muzuki, and Muzuki remembered his kindness, so he held back.

Thinking of Muzuki’s advice during the meeting, a look of shame appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi’s face.

At that time, Muzuki kept advising him not to go, but he failed to grasp Muzuki’s good intentions and insisted on going his own way.

The fact that Sōsuke dared to kill Danzo Shimura yet always deliberately avoided conflict with Konoha also had a perfect explanation.

As a former Root member, Muzuki knew some of Root’s dirty secrets. Perhaps not the full picture, but he should have known some.

Perhaps due to Danzo Shimura’s nurturing grace, or Hiruzen Sarutobi’s connection, Muzuki didn’t pursue it deeply.

As Danzo Shimura became more and more excessive, Muzuki could no longer tolerate it, and finally, using the opportunity of Danzo Shimura bringing about his own demise, he kept him in the Land of Rain forever.

“Your Konoha’s ambition is truly more terrifying than I imagined. Do you intend to use this to end the era of the Five Great Ninja Villages and rule the Ninja World alone?”

Rasa gathered a large amount of Chakra, looking at Muzuki through gritted teeth.

Just thinking about how he first desperately begged Konoha to fight the Shinobi Sect, and then humbly allied with the Shinobi Sect to fight Konoha, Rasa was about to explode with rage, and his face instantly turned incredibly red.

It was Muzuki who tarnished his reputation, and it was also Muzuki who treated him like a dog.

This was unbearable. If he wouldn’t be utterly crushed by himself, Rasa would want to blow up with Muzuki right now.

“Hokage, you’ve disguised yourself too well.”

The Third Mizukage sighed, his hands behind his back trembling slightly, an endless regret surging within him. He seemed to have made the wrong move.

If Hidden Mist had continued to cooperate with Konoha, it would now be an unprecedentedly favorable situation, but he had chosen incorrectly.

If they failed to kill Muzuki here, what would follow would be Konoha’s furious retaliation, which would be the greatest crisis Hidden Mist had ever faced.

The Third Mizukage was extremely speechless. Muzuki, why did you hide such powerful strength instead of showing it? If you had secretly told him, he guaranteed he would have ignored Ōnoki’s nonsense.

“He’s truly a man with an incomprehensibly vast mind.”

Sasori looked at Muzuki in the sky, a surprised expression appearing on his face as well.

He had once failed to assassinate Muzuki’s disciple, but when Muzuki caught him, he only made him work in the Shinobi Sect, even making him the head of an important department within the Shinobi Sect.

Sasori had never truly respected anyone in his life, but he respected Muzuki.

If one had to name the greatest Ninja of this era, Sasori would only choose Muzuki.

“What kind of experiences shaped you into such a man?”

Kakuzu stood with his arms crossed, looking at Muzuki, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Those Kage believed this was Konoha’s conspiracy to rule the world, believing the Shinobi Sect was Konoha’s doing.

But Kakuzu knew that the truth was not so. The Shinobi Sect was the Shinobi Sect, and Konoha was Konoha. Although their leader was the same person, the two factions did not have a subordinate relationship.

Muzuki had made it very clear during the meeting that Shinobi Sect Ninja only needed to protect themselves and did not need to concern themselves with the Ninja of the Five Great Ninja Villages, which naturally included Konoha.

After Muzuki revealed his true identity, Kakuzu didn’t feel deceived. Instead, he felt that Muzuki was truly an idealist who only existed in fantasies.

Muzuki possessed Ninja talent unimaginable to ordinary people, and he was born in the strongest Ninja Village.

If Muzuki wanted to, perhaps he could truly conquer the entire world.

But Muzuki didn’t do so.

During a time of war, Muzuki, alone, came to the chaotic Land of Rain under the alias of Sōsuke.

He didn’t use his formidable strength to throw his weight around; instead, he sought like-minded individuals by lecturing and spreading his ideals.

Kakuzu had followed Muzuki even before the Shinobi Sect was founded, and he clearly understood how difficult it had been for Muzuki to establish the Shinobi Sect and develop it to its current state.

Moreover, despite these hardships, Muzuki had gained almost no tangible personal benefit.

Reputation? As long as Muzuki was willing to display his strength, regardless of his identity, Muzuki could become famous throughout the Ninja World.

Wealth? As the head of the finance department, Kakuzu knew this all too well: Muzuki was pouring his own money into developing the Shinobi Sect.

Strength? Most of the Ninjutsu and secret techniques of the Shinobi Sect were developed by Muzuki.

Kakuzu couldn’t think of what Muzuki gained from it, but he clearly knew what the Land of Rain and surrounding countries had gained.

Since the Shinobi Sect grew strong, the chaos in the Land of Rain ended, the overall public security of the entire country significantly improved, and the economy also developed.

Due to the Shinobi Sect’s power, small neighboring countries and minor Ninja Villages became much more disciplined, refraining from war, fearing that the Shinobi Sect would find an opportunity to intervene.

Later, the Shinobi Sect established a branch in Bird Country, which also improved the public security of Bird Country.

The Shinobi Sect’s ultimate dream was grand and seemingly unreachable, but under Muzuki’s leadership, they had taken step after step.

Although still very far from achieving the ultimate dream, they were indeed moving forward and constantly getting better.

“It seems we’ll have to call Muzuki Sensei now.”

Yahiko was a little surprised, but only a little.

To evaluate a person, one should not look at what he says, but what he does.

Although Muzuki disguised his identity, did he do anything bad? No.

If what Muzuki did could be called “bad,” then Yahiko estimated that people in many regions would be happy for their country to experience such “bad things.”

So, for the true Shinobi Sect Ninja, what their mentor was called didn’t matter, whether he was Hokage didn’t matter. They only needed to know that he was the mentor leading them towards peace, and that was enough.

In fact, most Shinobi Sect Ninja were quite happy after learning his true identity.

Because this could greatly accelerate the process of world peace.

“Is this the truth Muzuki Sensei wanted to tell us? It’s truly astonishing.”

Looking at Muzuki standing high in the sky, Shisui still couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

He knew his sensei was amazing, but he didn’t expect him to be this amazing, quietly creating a Ninja force that required the Five Great Ninja Villages to unite against.

“It looks like the Village higher-ups don’t know about this, and I don’t know how Muzuki Sensei plans to handle it.”

Shisui observed the expressions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze, feeling a bit worried.

Ninja Villages are very sensitive about such matters. If one were to be strict, Muzuki could even be branded a rogue Ninja.

However, no matter what choice Muzuki made, Shisui would not stand against Muzuki or attack him.

He was a Konoha Ninja, but he was even more so Muzuki’s disciple.

“What exactly does Muzuki Sensei want to do?”

Kakashi’s mind raced. This matter was very important.

Because it involved what they needed to do next.

Time was too short for Kakashi to think about why Muzuki would go into hiding to create the Shinobi Sect.

However, he chose to trust first. Kakashi believed that his Muzuki Sensei would not do anything harmful or hurt them.

“Muzuki Sensei, you still say you’re not the Six Paths Sage!”

Obito’s eyes widened, and his mind subconsciously recalled a painting of the Six Paths Sage he had seen somewhere.

Muzuki, dressed in a white robe and holding the Rokudo Shakujo, truly resembled the Six Paths Sage in that painting.

After Muzuki transformed from Sōsuke’s appearance back to Muzuki, Obito’s heart instantly calmed down a lot, and he stopped thinking about miscellaneous things.

This was the sense of security Muzuki brought him.

Obito had asked Muzuki many times how the Ninja World could achieve peace and how war could be completely eliminated.

Each time, Muzuki told Obito a lot, explaining the difficulties involved and how to work towards achieving it.

Obito still remembered Muzuki’s serious expression at that time.

The Muzuki Sensei he knew had always been a peace-loving person, so Obito immediately calmed down after seeing Muzuki.

No matter what happened here, with Muzuki present, the outcome wouldn’t be too bad.

“Muzuki…”

Minato Namikaze, tightly gripping his Flying Thunder God Kunai, had a complex expression.

He never expected such a development: his best friend and direct superior had become the target of an encirclement and kill operation.

However, Minato Namikaze immediately shifted his attention to the strong Ninja of the other Four Great Shinobi Villages.

Putting everything else aside, just from Muzuki’s daily work, Minato Namikaze couldn’t sense any intention from Muzuki to harm Konoha.

He didn’t know why Muzuki created the Shinobi Sect, but he believed Muzuki would not want to destroy Konoha like the other Four Great Shinobi Villages.

Muzuki’s revelation of his true form, and the expressions of all the Kage, were recorded live and displayed on the screens within Six Paths City.

Because Rasa’s expression was so vivid, the Shinobi Sect Ninja in charge of directing couldn’t help but give him a close-up.

The people watching online couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him. What had he been through? He looked genuinely angry.

“Muzuki, that guy doesn’t seem to get tired. Being one Hokage isn’t enough for him.”

Tsunade was also quite surprised.

As if recovering from the shock, the Ninja from the Four Great Shinobi Villages on screen quickly moved closer to each other, and Kage like Ōnoki also stood together, looking hostilely at the Konoha Ninja and Shinobi Sect Ninja.

Seeing this, Tsunade was a little worried. With the Four Great Shinobi Villages plus so many experts, how would this end?
