Chapter 476 - 476: The War Begins

Dark clouds press low against the horizon—a storm threatens to crush the battlefield.

The Mountain Graveyard awaits the return of the shinobi.

Heaven and earth alter their course as the conflict reaches a critical flashpoint.

The atmosphere tightens with absolute tension.

In this final battle, victory will belong to the Shinobi Alliance.

"So this is the enemy... and the full scale of their forces?"

Looking out at the endless black tide of the undead army and sensing the oppressive chakra signatures picked up by the Sensory Unit, a shiver runs down the spines of the troops.

Glancing back at their own allied forces, though vast, they seem dangerously thin compared to that abyss of darkness.

Yet, word spreads quickly through the ranks—on their side stand the legendary legends of the ninja world.

They turn their eyes toward the rear.

Seven massive Tailed Beasts, towering like moving mountains, slowly march alongside the alliance.

"The climax of the Fourth Great Ninja War is finally upon us."

Tobitake Tonbo gives a swift hand signal to Orochimaru before darting into the air, landing directly in front of Shibai Otsutsuki.

"Shibai Otsutsuki?" he asks flatly.

It sounds like a question, but his tone leaves no room for doubt.

Shibai slowly opens his eyes. "So you are the supreme commander of the current Shinobi Alliance... the self-proclaimed strategist of this era?"

Koshin Koji had stolen his ability to foresee the future, preventing him from gaining instant intelligence. Even so, Shibai has already gathered more than enough information. The man standing before him is the master mind of the Alliance, and their greatest strategic threat.

"A strategist? Heh, hit the nail on the head. Look, pal, why don't you save us all the trouble and surrender right now? It'd save us the effort of fighting and keep things peaceful."

Tobitake Tonbo feels a surge of confidence, offering the Otsutsuki a casual out.

Shibai pauses for a moment. "Fascinating. If that is your stance, then let us see if anyone on this planet can stand against me—even with my divine body incomplete."

No more words are wasted.

The moment the sentence drops, the remaining members of Kara and their synthetic monstrosities charge forward.

Shibai's cold gaze locks onto Tobitake Tonbo.

BZZZT!

Their eyes collide.

In a fraction of a second, Tobitake Tonbo uses a sudden spatial displacement, reappearing directly behind Shibai with his blade slicing through the fabric of space itself.

Intense pressure radiates from his blackened arms and body, warping the surrounding space.

A feeble human trying to defy a god.

Shibai doesn't even turn around; an invisible barrier of absolute defense manifests before the blade can touch him.

"You underestimate the power of a God."

BOOM!

In an instant, Tobitake Tonbo is blasted backward, a massive bloodied wound ripping across his chest.

"And you underestimate the power of humanity—Secret Art: World Harmony!"

A glowing barrier manifests around Tobitake Tonbo, activating one of his most lethal Jutsu.

Instantly, an identical wound bursts open on Shibai's body.

"Impressionable... a remarkable Jutsu," Shibai remarks emotionlessly as his wound rapidly knits itself back together. "However... matching me takes far more than clever tricks."

His God-like regeneration eclipses even the rate at which Tobitake Tonbo transfers damage into his shield.

Tobitake Tonbo's pupils shrink. This is bad.

"If tactics won't work, we force it!"

SWOOSH!

Reappearing behind Shibai in a flash, Tobitake Tonbo suffers another wave of heavy internal damage, but gritting his teeth against the searing agony, he forcefully transfers the damage back with his Jutsu while swinging his blade once more.

"I am already familiar with your techniques. Your struggle is futile."

Without making a single physical motion, an immense repulsive force—akin to an absolute Almighty Push—blasts Tobitake Tonbo back.

"Tobitake Tonbo-sensei, we've got your back!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Over a dozen silhouettes land instantly in formation around the god-like figure.

Kabuto Yakushi, Tonbo Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, Boruto Uzumaki, Mitsuki, Orochimaru, Saitama Tobitake, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Might Guy, and Kakashi Hatake.

They encircle Shibai Otsutsuki completely.

"Go all out! Take him down!"

Every shinobi standing in this circle possesses elite space-time, sage, or kekkei genkai abilities. As for the rest of the alliance, they scatter across the lower fields to clash with the undead horde.

"Charge! Super Fang Wolf Fang!"

Facing a towering, muscular brute from the enemy's vanguard, Kiba Inuzuka skips the talk entirely. Seeing his comrades battling the undead army below, he holds nothing back and unleashes his ultimate Taijutsu.

The sheer pressure of his attack distorts the air—a physical force cultivated through years of relentless training.

His sharp scent confirms it: this brute is his opponent.

"Hmph! The old me might have hesitated, but I'm far beyond that now!" Boro sneers.

He releases a massive wave of Lava Release, wrapping himself in a molten barrier.

Yet the moment his armor solidifies, Kiba's drill-like attack violently impacts.

BANG!

In seconds, Boro's defense crumbles, but his shattered torso instantly begins to reconstruct itself.

"With my regeneration core fused with the Karma, I am the most immortal being in existence! You're dead!" Boro laughs.

BZZZZ!

A swarming cloud of insects sweeps across the battlefield like a plague—where the Kikaichu pass, nothing survives.

Even the immortal undead are denied the chance to regenerate; their flesh and bone are completely consumed down to the atomic level, leaving nothing for Moryo's dark chakra to restore.

CLANG!

"Hahaha! Under the absolute defense of my Carbon Armor, your attacks are useless! I'll slaughter every last one of you!"

Deeppa transforms his hands into razor-sharp claws, activating his Karma power as he strikes out at two dark-complexioned Shinobi.

"Our Cloud Village might not be built to fight that floating deity in the sky, but handling a punk like you is light work!"

The Fourth A and Fifth A look up at the eleven figures surrounding Shibai in the sky with a grumble, but turn their attention to Deeppa's hardened defense.

"A mutated Kekkei Genkai, huh? Let's break it!"

"Golden Horizon!"

Rock Lee turns into a streak of brilliant light cutting across the battlefield, sweeping through waves of enemies like a scythe through wheat. Beside him, Metal Lee follows his father's lead, executing coordinated Taijutsu strikes to clear the flanks.

"Don't let the other villages outshine us! Combination Jutsu: Maneki-Neko Transformation!"

A massive glowing Beckoning Cat appears on the frontline, crushing the undead forces under its giant paws.

"Shinatsuhiko!"

A colossal palace composed entirely of howling wind descends from the sky like a cataclysm.

RUMBLE!

The undead trapped inside are shredded by microscopic wind blades, destroying their cells faster than Moryo's dark energy can reconstruct them.

"Combination Jutsu: Emperor Penguin No. 3!"

Three shinobi leap into the sky, weaving Summoning and elemental signs together. A giant violet-and-yellow penguin shoots across the field like a guided missile, reaping enemy ranks.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Countless slugs burst into smoke, scattering across the battlefield. Sakura and Ino immediately link their chakra to heal injured comrades.

Suddenly, a destructive force craters the center of the battlefield. Looking over, Sakura and Ino's eyes widen in shock.

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Rock Breaking Staff!"

"Hokushin Rock Golem!"

Houki Taketori pours out massive amounts of chakra without hesitation, summoning giant stone constructs to crush enemy lines.

"The power of science surpasses all! Celestial Cannon!"

High above the clouds, a massive scientific ninja-tool satellite aligns its lens. A pillar of orbital light pierces the sky, striking down directly on Moryo's location.

Denki Kaminarimon controls the trajectory with precision. "I'll show the world that technology holds its own place on the battlefield!"

"Don't look down on the Stone Village! Artificial Corps, launch! Ten Thousand Mile Burial!"

Onoki leads his squad in unleashing a high-tier Earth Release Jutsu, turning the ground beneath the undead into a raging sea of shifting stone.

"Tsunami System: Engage!"

From the Mist Village's side, giant mechanical water turbines roar to life, summoning massive synthetic tidal waves to wash away the frontlines.

"Sun-Sinking Solar Flare!"

Kankuro activates the ultimate output of his Apollo puppet, a confident smirk spreading across his face.

Heavy energy cannons charge at his puppet's arms, unleashing blinding blasts of destruction.

"Light Release: Photon Lock!"

Keigo Tobitake moves like a beam of light across the field. Wherever his light passes, the undead are incinerated into ash.

The smoke of war billows into the sky.

Ninjutsu lights up the darkened world.

The warped space marks the graveyard of this battle.

And death reaps its toll...
