"You! Iwamon!"
Chiyo never anticipated that the Iwa-nin would announce the cancellation of their alliance at this moment, instantly enraged. Fortunately, Ebizō was quick to restrain Chiyo from attacking Iwamon.
"Sister, calm down. We mustn't act rashly."
Ebizō could see the situation clearly. Given Sunagakure's current state, they couldn't afford to antagonize the Iwa-nin further. Otherwise, if they provoked Iwagakure's ambitions, Sunagakure would truly be doomed.
At this moment, Ebizō hoped that Konoha could defeat Iwagakure as well.
Though Chiyo was hot-tempered and impulsive, she could still recognize the situation, suppressing her urge to act.
"Then we Iwa-nin will withdraw first."
Iwamon had no intention of staying any longer, promptly leading the remaining Iwa-nin to retreat from the battlefield.
Sunagakure had suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, and Iwamon needed to report these circumstances to the Third Tsuchikage quickly. After all, Iwa-nin were also engaged in battle with Konoha at this time.
"Retreat!"
Looking at the hellish battlefield and then at Tsunade, Kai, Shinnosuke, and the others gathered in the distance, Chiyo could only say with hatred.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing the task of repelling the joint attack of Suna-nin and Iwa-nin. Reward: Ninjutsu Fusion Scroll."
Hearing the voice in his mind, Kai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he was already in a state of exhaustion, and Tsunade hadn't fully recovered from her hemophobia symptoms. Only Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the Ino-Shika-Chō trio had any combat power left.
If the Suna-nin and Iwa-nin continued their attack, Kai would have no choice but to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to flee.
Kai wondered if Chiyo would be furious if she knew the situation later.
Watching the retreating Suna-nin, Tsunade and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
They hurried to gather the remaining Konoha ninjas on the battlefield. Despite the victory being Konoha's, nine-tenths of the Konoha ninjas had perished, making it a pyrrhic victory of the highest order.
"I'll go rest for a while."
Currently, Kai's mind was filled with thoughts of the Ninjutsu Fusion Scroll reward from completing the task, so he had no time to deal with the battlefield matters, leaving such tasks to those adept at handling them.
With a Flying Thunder God Technique, Kai appeared in his camp within the base.
A scroll materialized from nothingness, gradually appearing in Kai's hand, while a surge of information flowed into his mind.
Ninjutsu Fusion Scroll: A one-time consumable item. The host can write any two learned ninjutsu on the scroll, and the two ninjutsu will perfectly fuse into a new jutsu.
"A Ninjutsu Fusion Scroll, huh? It seems powerful. Which two jutsu should I fuse? If I fuse the Rasenshuriken and Steel Fist: Great Blaze, I wonder what would happen. A Spiral Blaze Shuriken? Sounds interesting."
Kai sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering with his head resting on his hand.
"But if I fuse them so casually, it would be too hasty. Besides, I'll learn more powerful jutsu in the future. Wasting the Ninjutsu Fusion Scroll like this would be a shame."
With this thought, Kai prepared to put the scroll away.
Suddenly, Kai's hand stopped, and two jutsu popped into his mind, making the thought irresistible.
"If these two jutsu can truly fuse perfectly, then no matter how strong I become, they will have irreplaceable value!"
Without any further hesitation, Kai unfolded the scroll, bit his finger, and wrote two ninjutsu he had already learned on it.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
Kagura Mind's Eye!
As soon as Kai wrote the two jutsu, the scroll transformed into points of light, merging into Kai's body.
A brand-new jutsu appeared in Kai's mind, learned as naturally as if it were a kekkei genkai.
The scenery within tens of kilometers around him appeared in Kai's mind, with various chakra traces. Without any movement, Kai vanished from his original spot.
In the next moment, Kai's figure appeared atop a mountain peak ten kilometers away, and in another moment, he was at the mountain's base.
In just a fleeting moment, Kai returned to his camp, his face filled with joy.
"Indeed, my assumption was correct! The perfect fusion of the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kagura Mind's Eye not only maintains the power and effects of each jutsu but also combines their advantages. It abandons the Flying Thunder God's formula and allows for instantaneous movement within the Kagura Mind's Eye's sensing range!"
"This is the true perfect space-time ninjutsu! Since it is entirely different from the Flying Thunder God Technique, it deserves a new name."
Kai thought for a moment and murmured to himself:
"Since it is derived from the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kagura Mind's Eye, let it be named after the divine. Like a divine descent, it shall be called—Divine Descent!"
At this time, the battlefield at the front line had been mostly dealt with, and Tsunade returned to the base, rushing straight into Kai's camp.
"Kid, thanks to you, we achieved victory in the war against the Suna-nin."
Tsunade, full of excitement, hugged Kai, pressing his head against her ample bosom for a while before letting him go.
Kai, his face flushed, exhaled heavily and said softly, "I almost suffocated."
Tsunade paused, a blush appearing on her face, and shouted, "Brat! You're asking for it. Hurry up and pack your things; the war in the Land of Rivers is basically over. Prepare to return to Konoha."
"Okay," Kai replied.
...
After the war in the Land of Rivers, the Suna-nin were completely defeated, so there was no need to station ninja forces there anymore. Tsunade ordered the remaining hundred Konoha ninjas to return to the village.
The journey back wasn't as rushed as the trip to the Land of Rivers. It took about three to four days for Kai to return to Konoha.
However, as soon as he stepped into the village, Kai sensed something was amiss.
