nIgnite the Dragon Veins and detonate the shinobi world. The Energy would be enough to turn the Zombie Leviathan into ash.

nSeeing the answer given by the exam space, Naruto's face suddenly showed a trace of shock. He didn't expect the method given by the exam space to be so powerful.

n'Ignite the Dragon Veins, and detonate the shinobi world!'

n'That's...'

nNot to mention Naruto, at this moment, even Uzumaki Nagato and the others behind Naruto were stunned.

n'To kill this monster, we would have to sacrifice the entire shinobi world?!'

n'Who would do that?'

nUchiha Madara squinted at Otsutsuki Kaguya not far away. This kind of thing, let alone them, even Otsutsuki Toneri wouldn't be able to do.

nIgniting Dragon Veins was not difficult. He could do it himself, but setting the Shinobi world ablaze was something that only Otsutsuki Kaguya could do.

n

"Who's Ryuji?

"

nOtsutsuki Kaguya felt that everyone was looking at her, and the lonely voice slowly came out. She had certain feelings for the forbearance world, and she wouldn't agree to detonate it without knowing what would happen next when Naruto took her and the others to the next world.

n

"He's the guy in the ark.

"

nNaruto pointed to the World Ark above.

nKaguya looked at the floating World Ark overhead, her pair of beautiful eyes gently narrowed.

nFrom this ship, she felt some kind of resistance.

nAs if it wouldn't allow her to board.

nOtsutsuki Kaguya knew the origin of the ship. It was a prize awarded to Uzumaki Naruto by the exam space. So, she understood that she couldn't board the ship without Uzumaki Naruto's permission.

n

"What do you know about the other world?

"

nOtsutsuki Kaguya looked at Uzumaki Naruto. She was curious and cautious about the other world.

nAfter all, who knew if there were monsters like that in the other world or if there were enemies like Otsutsuki Urashiki.

nHearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's inquiry, everyone instantly looked at Uzumaki Naruto, only to see Uzumaki Naruto shake his head.

nJust when everyone was a little disappointed, they suddenly heard Uzumaki Naruto say:

n

"This Zombie Leviathan is summoning a group of Leviathans. If it's allowed to summon the Leviathan group to the shinobi world, the shinobi world will be destroyed.

"

nNaruto's voice was faint, but it caused everyone's faces to turn pale.

nThey looked up in horror and looked at the distant sky. However, they couldn't even see the shadow of the Zombie Leviathan anymore.

n

"Naruto, did you just say it is trying to summon other Leviathans?

"

nUchiha Madara's eyes were filled with fear. A single Leviathan had already caused such chaos in the shinobi world. It took a falling Moon to kill it, and it still turned into a Zombie Leviathan.

nEveryone thought that since it had turned into a Zombie Leviathan, they could just wait for its flesh and blood to get depleted. But to their surprise, this Zombie Leviathan was trying to summon other Leviathans.

nIf other Leviathans or even a swarm of Leviathans came to their world, then the shinobi world would indeed be destroyed by those beasts, as Naruto said.

nUchiha Madara and Uzumaki Nagato knew, as Fugaku had told them, that the largest of those monsters had the size of a planet.

n'This 10,000-meter-long Leviathan is just a seedling in front of that kind of Leviathan!'

n

"I agree.

"

nOtsutsuki Kaguya blinked, raised her hand, and pulled Black Zetsu back into her sleeve, quietly looking at Naruto.

n ...

nThree days later.

nThree days went by in the blink of an eye.

nIn these three days, all the people in the shinobi world were moving like the Great Human Migration, with everyone doing their best to make their way to the center of the five major shinobi villages.

nNaruto, Uzumaki Nagato, and the others were on the World Ark, waiting for three days to collect all the people of the shinobi world in the World Ark.

n

"I never thought that we would be meeting again like this.

"

nThe Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, looked at Uzumaki Kushina, who had just boarded the ark, with a warm smile on his face.

nKonohagakure had been destroyed. At this moment, he was no longer Konoha's Kage. He was just Uzumaki Kushina's husband and Uzumaki Naruto's father.

n

"Humph.

"

nUzumaki Kushina gave him an unimpressed look but was relieved to see that the other party was also completely resurrected.

nShe thought that the corpse fluid of the beast would turn him to ashes, just like the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo.

nFortunately, the other party was still alive.

n

"Where's Naruto?

"

nUzumaki Kushina's brow relaxed. She was about to continue talking when she suddenly saw Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata not far away, flying with a glowing blue lump of iron under their feet.

n

"Mom! Dad!

"

nArriving a few meters in front of the pair, Naruto leaped straight down from above and wrapped them in his arms. Next to him, Hyuga Hinata was looking at her hands nervously, wondering how she could join in.

nUzumaki Kushina, noticing Hinata's appearance, flickered, and in the next moment, took Hinata directly into her arms.

n

"Ah?

"

nNot far away, Hyuga Hiashi spoke softly, standing beside his wife and the newly resurrected Hyuga Hanabi.

nBecause the blow from the Moon was so great, those of them who were saved by Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama died in the impact.

nBut now, they were all resurrected.

nIt was worth mentioning that, Senju Tobirama, because he was drenched with the Zombie Leviathan fluid, his soul melted. When Black Zetsu used the reincarnation technique, he was already gone.

nTherefore, he couldn't be resurrected.

nSimilarly, there were no other resurrected Kages from other villages that were in the Impure World Reincarnated state.

n

"That girl has grown up!

"

nHyuga Hiashi watched Hinata run to Kushina's family and shook his head helplessly, but there was no hint of discontent on his face.

nBecause of their withdrawal from the battlefield, they were the second group to board the World Ark. With his position as leader of the Hyuga clan; there was some information that he naturally knew more about.

nFor example, this ship belonged to Naruto!

nAnother example was, Naruto wasn't going to let them form shinobi villages on this ship.

nHe even heard that Akatsuki... Ah, no, the top leaders of the Land of Shinobi and the five ex-Kages would be the ones to have a say on this ship from now on.

nOriginally, he tacitly agreed that Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto could start a relationship because he envisioned the boy's future achievements. After all, being able to save Konoha in that situation, and that strength, coupled with his future Hokage status, would surely ensure the position of the Hyuga clan while he was in office.

nThis was the direct reason why he allowed Naruto to get close to Hinata.

nBut now...

nWhat else could he do?

nNaruto had power now, but his position...

nHyuga Hiashi watched as a group of people swarmed in the distance, calling Uzumaki Naruto's name.

n

"Where's Uzumaki Naruto?

"

n

"Naruto-sama? He saved my wife. I'm going to let him marry my daughter.

"

n

"Bah! Just that daughter of yours who can blow in a gust of wind, and you still want to marry Naruto? My daughter is 1.5m and 68kg. I'll give her to Naruto for free!

"

n

"Oh, no wonder it's free.

"

n .....

n

"Father, I ...

"

nUchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a gloomy look on his face.

nUchiha Izumi died because of him! Itachi was dead too!

nThe Leviathan also came to the shinobi world because of his deeds. A lot of people couldn't be resurrected because of him...

n

"The past is the past.

"

nUchiha Fugaku patted Sasuke on the shoulder and gently comforted him.

nIt's just that Sasuke didn't see the grief in Fugaku's eyes, let alone the haggard look on Mikoto's face behind Fugaku.

nBoth Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke, apart from their blood, weren't really close to them as much as Uchiha Izumi was.

nFugaku and Mikoto's grief over Izumi's death was even greater than the time they found out about Itachi's death.

n

"You have to walk this new path.

"

n

"You're strong now. Go find Naruto. You can help him.

"

nUchiha Fugaku said so and turned back to Mikoto, who was carrying a large belly. They walked off into the distance; his back, for a moment, seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships.

n

"Fugaku.

"

n

"We have to do this...

"

nMikoto looked at Fugaku with a slightly sad face. Just now, Fugaku seemed to be comforting Sasuke, but in reality, he was just pushing Sasuke towards Naruto.

n

"It's for his own good.

"

nA cold look flashed across Fugaku's face. Everyone in the shinobi world was now on this ship. In other words, Uzumaki Naruto was now the highest centralized authority in the shinobi world.

nExcept for Uzumaki Naruto, no one else had the authority to throw people off the World Ark.

nAs far as he knew, not only the big clans of Konoha but clans from the other shinobi villages were trying to get close to Uzumaki Naruto in every way possible.

nHe even heard that Otsutsuki Kaguya left Black Zetsu at the central bridge as a strategist.

nOtsutsuki Kaguya's reason was also simple: 'In the future, facing an unfamiliar world, Black Zetsu's strategy and resourcefulness are better than anyone in the shinobi world. Naruto, you can ask him anything.'

nAfter saying that, Otsutsuki Kaguya left without looking back.

nUzumaki Naruto hesitated, but there was no way to refute it.

nBlack Zetsu had the ability to use anyone in the shinobi world as a pawn.

nIn front of him, not to mention Senju Tsunade, the General Council of the Allied Shinobi Forces, even Konoha's Nara clan, plus the strategist of the other shinobi villages, were no match for him!

nSo Black Zetsu was inexplicably shoved in. Not to mention Uzumaki Naruto, even Uzumaki Nagato couldn't do anything about it.

nIt was absolute!

nTaking everyone who came to Konoha into the ark, Uzumaki Naruto took control of the World Ark and sailed to the next gathering point -- Sunagakure.

n

"Where's Ryuji?

"

nAppearing in the bridge room with Uzumaki Kushina, Hinata, and Minato, Uzumaki Naruto glanced around. He felt confused when he didn't see the guy there.

nThen immediately realized that the other party, mysterious and unpredictable, with a part of the authority over the World Ark, had hidden somewhere on the ship. He really couldn't find him.

nAfter all, this World Ark was bigger than the shinobi world ever was.

nNot to mention it could accommodate all the living creatures in the shinobi world. It could even accommodate more than that.

nThe World Ark was very fast and could arrive at Sunagakure in 10 minutes.

nAt the moment, in Sunagakure, a large number of people were already gathered.

nDespite the increasingly harsh conditions in Sunagakure, with the shelter from Suna shinobi, these people arrived in Sunagakure safely.

nNot only humans, but some summoned beasts also came to Sunagakure.

nThey spoke out and begged the shinobi in Sunagakure to give them a chance to survive.

nSome of them were extremely large, and at a glance, you can tell that they were exceedingly strong, but they were acting really humble right now.

nAt this moment, with the arrival of the World Ark, all kinds of summoned beasts eagerly looked at the World Ark.

nThe environment of the shinobi world was getting worse and worse, and it was no longer suitable for survival. They knew that their future was in Uzumaki Naruto's hands.

nTheir lives were at Uzumaki Naruto's mercy.

nBut to their surprise, with the arrival of the World Ark, a ramp reached down directly from the ship and reached them.

nThen, a series of figures ran down from the ship and spontaneously stood in two rows on both sides of the ramp, just like guards.

nJust when everyone thought that some high-ranking person would step down, the group of shinobi directly spoke to the countless people below,

"All of you will board the ship in an orderly manner. Once you have registered on board, you will be led to your accommodation.

"

n

"All summoned beasts, while onboard, must abide by the rules, and no fighting is allowed. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the ship.

"

nAs the voice dropped, the figures began to walk in an orderly manner.

nOn the ship, these people finally saw the vastness of the World Ark!

nBefore they could close their wide opened mouths, someone came and took them away to be identified and documented.

nSoon, everyone in Sunagakure had boarded the ship, and under the reluctant gaze of the Suna people, the World Ship jumped straight ahead and flew off towards Kirigakure.

nSoon, everyone from the five major villages was on the ship. It was worth mentioning that the toads of Mount Myoboku, the snakes of Ryuchi Cave, and Tsunade's slugs from Shikkotsu Forest also dropped their feuds and boarded the ship from the shinobi villages.

nNaruto paid special attention to the fact that Gamamaru and the White Snake Sage didn't board the ship along with the toad swarm and the snake seethe.

nThey had made their choice.

n

"Naruto, everyone in the shinobi world is already on board, except for some old people who don't want to leave.

"

n

"Mom. Are they really not leaving?

"

n

"Hmm.

" Uzumaki Kushina sighed and was about to console Naruto when suddenly she suddenly heard Naruto say:

n

"It's their choice, and we have to respect them. Mom, everyone, let's go.

"

nA few minutes later, Naruto and his group arrived at the bridge of the World Ark, which served as the very center of the World Ark and overlooked everything.

nThe Shinobi World Ark slowly took off, carrying nearly the entirety of the shinobi world as it weaved its way towards the stars.

nAs the World Ark continued to travel through space. Ten minutes later, it arrived in the starry sky.

nEveryone from the shinobi world was looking out of the windows or at the live screen overhead, watching the blue-colored planet in the distance.

nBoom!

nA ring of dust, visible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared from within the shinobi world, expanding as fast as a wave of seawater, followed by a violent explosion.

nBut this time, the explosion was not like any other. It first violently spread out and then, as if reaching a certain point, began to collapse itself at a rapid pace.

nIn the blink of an eye, the explosion actually compressed halfway inwards and disappeared!

nWith it, the entire shinobi world disappeared.

nWith the disappearance of the shinobi world, a crack in space-time suddenly began to appear in the starry sky where the crowd was as if the universe had become extremely unstable and was about to destroy itself.

n

"Naruto, what's next?

"

nUzumaki Nagato and the others looked at the disappearing shinobi world with strange expressions on their faces. They were about to continue to ask Naruto, but suddenly, a glowing 'gate' flew out from the World Ark, rapidly grew in the void of space, and finally landed in front of the ark.

n

"Haha! Let's go!

"

n

"To a new world!

"

nUzumaki Naruto saw the World Gate appear, smiled, and waved his hand. All the shinobi on the World Ark began to muster their chakra.

nOm ~~

nReplenished by the chakra of these shinobi, the World Ark suddenly hummed, followed by a flash on the hull, and it directly went into the World Gate.

nThe World Gate flickered for a few moments and finally disappeared with a bang.

nIn the distance, only a pale world was left, gradually disintegrating.

n...

nThe End.

n(epilogue will be released tomorrow, along with announcement for the new book.)
