They held each other's hands, their faces beaming with genuine, radiant smiles that belonged to their age, full of hope and camaraderie!
The moment the last stroke was made, the smile in the painting was complete—
Xin looked at the painting that was finally complete.
Looking at Sai, who was in tears but seemed to have been reborn, a smile of immense satisfaction and peace appeared on his face.
His body began to emit a soft white light, and the fragments of his impure rebirth, like dust blown by a spring breeze, peeled away and dissipated little by little.
"That's... great... Sai..."
His voice grew softer and softer.
Finally, with a completely relieved smile, his soul broke free from the shackles of reincarnation.
They transformed into tiny, shimmering particles of light, rising into the sky and returning to their eternal, pristine home.
In its place, only a clay shell remained, gradually turning into ordinary dust.
And the picture book lying on the ground, depicting two boys with bright smiles.
Sai knelt on the ground, staring at the spot where the letter had disappeared, tears streaming silently down his face.
But the empty or fake smile on his face was no longer the same as before.
Rather, it was a complex and genuine expression, a mixture of sadness, relief, and the joy of regaining what was lost.
He lost an older brother, but found his own "heart" again.
The battle between the raiding force and Sasori and Shin ended with Sasori being sealed away and Shin being freed.
Sai, in this battle, completed the most important transformation of his life.
Chapter 448 The War Breaks Out in Full Force! The Uchiha Show Their Might!
Intelligence on the encounter between the raiding force and Sasori of the Red Sand, Deidara, and Shin.
The encrypted communications were quickly relayed back to coalition headquarters and immediately distributed to all combat units.
The news was like a bucket of ice water, waking up everyone who still harbored a sliver of hope for the war—the enemy had already launched a brazen attack!
The shadow of war instantly transformed into a torrential downpour, looming over the hearts of every Allied ninja.
The Land of Lightning, with its winding coastline.
The First Army unit responsible for guarding this area.
The combined forces engaged in medium- and long-range combat, under the command of Captain Darui, had already constructed solid defensive fortifications.
Suddenly, the sensory units deployed behind the front line sounded a sharp alarm!
"Report! Captain Darui! An unusually large chakra reaction has been detected in the sea ahead! The quantity... the quantity is incalculable! They are rapidly approaching!"
Darui's usually languid eyes suddenly sharpened.
Based on the intelligence he had just received regarding the raiding force, he immediately realized that this was neither an exercise nor a small-scale harassment.
"All personnel! High alert! Ready for combat!"
Darui's voice, amplified by chakra, resonated clearly throughout the entire coastal defense line.
All ninjas immediately took their battle positions, loaded their kunai, and prepared to unleash their ninjutsu.
The tense atmosphere almost froze the sea breeze.
Soon, the distant sea surface began to show unusual movements.
First it was just a few here and there, then dozens, hundreds, thousands...
Ultimately, it spread like a plague, with tens of thousands of pale white monsters.
Emerging from the deep sea like rotting seaweed, they let out unintelligible roars.
Riding the waves, they launched a chaotic yet terrifyingly numerous assault on the coastal defense line!
"Sure enough, it's here..."
Darui's eyes turned cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued a targeted order: "All Lightning Release ninjas! Hear my command! Target: the sea ahead, a blanket strike!"
At the command, countless dazzling flashes of electricity instantly illuminated the coastal defense line!
"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
"Thunder Release: Thunder Ball!"
"Thunder Release·Grateful Wave!"
Hundreds of lightning ninjas from different villages unleashed their signature lightning techniques at the same time!
In an instant, thousands of bolts of lightning, of varying thickness and shapes, surged into the sea like angry silver snakes!
"Zzzzzzzzz—!!!"
The contact between lightning and seawater triggered a terrifying chain reaction!
The conductive seawater instantly became a giant natural conductor, amplifying and spreading the power of the lightning strike many times over!
Blinding flashes of lightning leaped and spread wildly across the sea, creating a vast expanse of lightning hell!
"Ughh ...
The White Zetsu army at the forefront was instantly met with a devastating blow!
Their bodies, composed of plant cells, offer almost no resistance to lightning.
The violent electric current instantly penetrated their bodies, causing violent convulsions and carbonization and burning of their internal tissues!
The shrill, inhuman screams rose and fell as thousands of White Zetsu were reduced to charred remains in the lightning, sinking to the bottom of the sea or being washed back by the waves.
Lightning Release techniques used in a small area can often cause paralysis and death to a large number of White Zetsu!
The first wave of landing operations appeared to be effectively contained by the coalition forces' precise tactical response.
However, the White Zetsu's cunning far exceeded expectations. The attack on the sea was merely bait to draw attention!
“Rumble——!!!”
Just as the ninjas on the coastal defense line breathed a sigh of relief, the ground suddenly exploded in several locations in the central area of the Allied forces' positions!
A large number of White Zetsu, who had long been lurking here using the Mayfly Technique, burst forth from the ground like a gushing spring.
In an instant, a bloody massacre was launched against the unsuspecting Allied logistics personnel, communications squads, and second-line support troops!
"Enemy attack! Rear!"
"Be careful underground!"
Screams and cries of alarm instantly erupted within the Allied forces!
Many ninjas were killed by the White Zetsu before they even saw where the enemy was coming from.
Meanwhile, the land route was guarded by the second force led by Huang Tu.
The Third Force support area where Kakashi is roaming.
Even outside the Fourth Division headquarters where Gaara was stationed.
They were all simultaneously subjected to fierce attacks from underground or on the surface by a large number of White Zetsu!
The entire battlefield of the Land of Lightning was like a powder keg that had been lit, instantly plunging into a fierce state of all-out warfare!
The allied ninjas, realizing what was happening, immediately organized an effective counterattack.
The light of kunai, shuriken, and ninjutsu flashed everywhere, and roars and explosions mingled together.
White Zetsu are not strong individually; it often takes five or six of them to take down a single well-trained Allied Shinobi.
However, their sheer numbers and bizarre appearance still put considerable pressure on the coalition forces, resulting in significant casualties.
However, the real nightmare has just begun.
As the battle escalated, the figures hidden within the White Zetsu wave, exuding an aura of death and dread, began to emerge one by one.
It's an army of resurrected beings!
Among them are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were once famous throughout the ninja world; well-known ninjas from various villages; bloodline limit holders skilled in strange and secret techniques; and even the Kage from various villages!
Although the Impure World Reincarnation technique will weaken some of their strength in life.
In return, they possessed almost limitless chakra and immortal bodies!
For these already highly skilled and powerful individuals...
Unlimited chakra means they can unleash those forbidden techniques that consume enormous amounts of energy and have incredible power without any restraint!
Their inability to feel pain and their lack of concern for damage turn them into the purest killing machines, pursuing only the ultimate efficiency in killing enemies!
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
A reincarnated Kirigakure Jonin clapped his hands together, summoning a massive tsunami comparable to a natural disaster, which instantly swallowed dozens of Allied Shinobi.
"Burning Escape·Steam Kill!"
Pakura from Sunagakure casually waved his hand, and several Allied Shinobi were instantly evaporated along with the moisture in their bodies, turning into dried corpses.
"Ice Release·Magic Mirror Ice Crystal!"
The white ice mirror reappeared, weaving through the allied forces' formation and reaping the rewards.
Compared to the White Zetsu, which rely on sheer numbers to achieve victories.
Each of these impure world reincarnations is like a moving disaster!
They can often easily kill dozens, or even hundreds, of elite allied troops by themselves!
The battle lines began to falter under the onslaught of these immortal powerhouses, and the casualty figures skyrocketed like an avalanche!
Panic and despair began to spread among some of the Allied ninjas.
"Damn it... he's impossible to kill!"
"Their chakra was exhausted... but they..."
"How are we supposed to fight this?!"
