57 Chapter 57 Urgency
The war enveloped ninja world shook today, the news of Sunagakure surrender against konoha spreading like wildfire, reaching every corner of the ninja world.
The Third Kazekage took the initiative to raise the flag and publically admitted defeat in the war, even sending a delegation towards konoha to give compensation.
Sand Stronghold.
In the main camp,
The frontline commander Hatake Sakumo, the vice commander Senju Tsunade, Orochimaru, Hyuga Nagito, the chief of Hyuga clan, and other jonin were gathered in the camp currently.
"Finally! After three years the battle here is finally over!"
Said Tsunade in a relieved tone, her eyes showing immense emotion as for whole three years she has been here at sand stronghold.
She fought countless times and like everyone suffered due to this war, her brother nearly dying and dan truly ending up getting killed.
"We may have won the war here but I truly hope that no one ever experiences anything like this again; whether you win or lose, the pain of losing a close one will always be the same"
Shared Sakumo his thoughts as well, a hopeful look on his calm and kind looking face. In this war he had seen lives being taken and himself had killed countless who loved each other or were the world of someone, although he did that to protect his own village but he truly hoped that one day this killing on the name of village could be stopped.
At his words, everyone in the camp showed a sad look, even if they are ninja's and are trained to be killers, if they had an option of living in a world where they wouldn't have to kill and everyone would be happy, they would prefer that.
No one truly likes killing cause every shinobi who has killed someone, understands this much that one day their life will be taken the same way.
"Now as per lord third orders, Hyuga Clan will return to the village along with every other shinobi aside from Princess Tsunade, Orochimaru and myself."
"The three of us will head to the tanzaku town and help put an end to the war there as well."
After a brief discussion on sands surrender, Sakumo explained the real reason behind holding a meeting, conveying the orders of Sarutobi that he had received earlier.
There was nothing much to discuss on the orders given by Sarutobi, Sakumo ending the meeting as everyone getting ready.
Half a day later everyone had packed their stuff, as Konoha Shinobi under the leadership of Hyuga Nagito departed towards the village.
And Sakumo, Tsunade and Orochimaru took the route towards Tanzaku Town, the determination to end this war completely on the face of Sakumo and Tsunade, though Orochimaru hardly showing any emotion, his eyes seem to have lost the spark of the past.
--------------------------------------
Tanzaku Town.
Tanzaku Castle.
At the training ground,
The training ground was fairly crowded right now, 9 to 10 pm peak time for most shinobi to gather here to train.
Most of those who trained now had the fan shaped emblem on the back and among them trained Kazuki, at a corner without bothering anyone busy in his training.
"I can't wait much longer, I need to complete this task quickly, that way I'll have some more assurance as well."
While Kazuki was training, his focus wasn't on that as his mind was occupied with the thought of completing the system main task of defeating a kage.
After completing the task, his template extraction would reach 70%, in this era possessing 70% strength of Tobirama although won't make him invincible but if someone wanted to harm or kill him, it would be very difficult.
But unlike the last system main task, he had to complete this task by defeating a kage in real world without support from others, these were the conditions to complete the task.
Now he possessed half the strength of Tobirama, if he were to fight a kage like Onoki or Third Raikage although it will not be easy for the opponent but it will be Kazuki who will most likely end up dead.
He had to choose his opponent wisely as well, not just rushing to complete the task.
Swish!
Just when Kazuki was lost in his thoughts, the door of the training ground was opened as wind blew in, taking the attention of most of shinobi.
"Gather outside the castle to welcome Lord Sakumo, Lord Orochimaru and Princess Tsunade."
A Nara Jonin entered the training hall as taking the attention of others, he quickly conveyed the urgent orders as immediately everyone halted their training.
"Tsunade? So all three are finally gathering near the land of rain, maybe it's about to happen"
Kazuki who heard the nara jonin, reached a guess as with Tsunade's arrival one of the biggest cannon event in this era was probably near, the battle that granted them the title of sannin.
