Chapter 94 - 87: The War, Finished In An Instant

As Obito fell to the ground, Madara tried to catch him and take his eyes, only to see it disappear right before his eyes. His face immediately turned ugly, anger rushed inside his body. Without the rinnegan, he will never be able to revive himself completely.

Yet, as he raged over it, he suddenly remembered that without the rinnegan, no one would be able to control the Juubi!

He instantly ran away from the head of the Juubi as he heard it roar with extreme rage. That roar cracked the ground around the Juubi, even Madara was almost pushed away by it.

He landed on the ground, unharmed, and saw the Juubi moving towards the shinobi alliance. Every step of this beast vibrated through the ground, causing a small earthquake. The Juubi seems to be searching for something, or someone.

With its singular eye, the Juubi scanned the shinobi alliance, searching for something. Which was once a part of it, a large portion of its strength. Then, its eye turned to Azumi.

Inside her was its lost power. If it could get that once again, it would roam the land once again as the mightiest and undefeated.

Just as it was about to move towards that human girl, it saw something up in the sky. Even though it was night, something seems to be shining brightly in the sky that it was enough to illuminate everything.

Then, it saw something it feared. A giant sword as large as the sky was slowly descending towards it. The giant sword's completely made of some kind of energy, that even it doesn't know.

It tried to run, but it was futile. It was too slow, and the giant sword hacked the beast into two. Then, it was slowly burned by the red fire that was accompanying the giant sword.

And just like that, the ten-tailed beast died. But the giant sword did not stop and continued slashing the ground beneath the ten-tailed beast, creating a giant chasm!

And then. Slowly, the giant sword dissipated.

Up in the sky was Hikaru, wearing the Onstein's set without its helmet. In his hand was a long-sword that he imbued with his mana. That giant sword from before was made from his mana, and it was coated with his pyromancy.

He would've love to keep that thing as his pet, but he would have to take the Kyuubi away from Azumi, so he decided against it. The Juubi he saw was nothing but an incomplete form of itself, so he couldn't tame it. It wasn't a sentient being, it was just acting out of its instinct.

He didn't harm any shinobi from his attack earlier, he was only aiming for that beast and Madara. But it seems like Madara wasn't able to completely revive himself, he's just in his edo tensei form. If Hikaru could kill the user of that technique, he should be able to eliminate all of the revived shinobis that the Alliance is currently fighting.

[Chakra Sense]

Hikaru used his chakra sense to see who's controlling the Edo Tensei jutsu, and he quickly found him. He was in some kind of cave, Hikaru could tell that it was a manmade cave because of all the designs in there.

Since his enemy is really weak, he could use his mana for a long-ranged attack that will follow his enemy like a lock-on missile.

Without any hesitation, he did just that and in less than a second, his enemy was dead. He didn't really bother to care who that was, since it was pretty obvious who that was.

He looked down from the sky and saw a lot of people staring at him in awe and fear. He didn't really care about any of them, except for his friends from Konoha.

He searched the entire field, looking for Azumi, and saw her in the middle of the alliance. Without missing a heartbeat, he appeared before her.

It was so fast that no one could react before 5 seconds later.

"Darling…" Azumi muttered in surprise. She immediately hugged him tightly, she did not even have any plans of letting him go.

"Don't worry, I'm back. I'm sorry for leaving just after a few days of returning to the village. It must've been tough for you, going through all that. But don't worry anymore, I'm here. I promise, I won't leave for a long time." Hikaru said tenderly as he felt Azumi's warmth.

'Though I hope that Hiroshi won't be angry, I'll be staying here for a month. I thought that I would only stay here for a day but I didn't think my brain would suddenly change. Heh, maybe he won't be that mad.' Hikaru thought carelessly.

Azumi tried to bury herself into his body, but only got hurt because Hikaru was wearing an armor. So she could only go for a kiss in the lips.

Hikaru just complied and kissed her back.

Everyone around them were surprised that they were ignored this long. Even Itachi, who's just right beside them. The situation was getting awkward because of how "lovey-dovey" these two were. Some were even jealous because they were all single.

Hikaru grew up into a handsome young man, so a lot of kunoichi was getting jealous of Azumi. He looked just like the "Knight in Shining Armor" from their dreams when they were just children. That long wavy black hair, smooth white skin, dark eyes, and quite a tall figure. Some were even blushing from sight, and some were trying to openly seduce him with their looks.

It hasn't even a minute since Hikaru killed off all their enemies, yet they're already doing this? This is nothing short of shameful.

*Cough* Cough* *Cough*

Itachi faked cough to get their attention.

Hikaru and Azumi stopped kissing and turned their heads to look at Itachi simultaneously.

""What?"" The two of them asked at the same time.

"You two should get a room. The war just ended, surprisingly fast too. Stop acting all lovey-dovey, we need to return to the base as soon as possible. Other shinobis will collect the bodies of our fallen comrades, and we and the leaders of each country will then have a discussion. There was a temporary peace treaty to defeat our common enemy, Madara, in case you didn't know, Hikaru." Itachi explained.

""Tsk"" They both clicked their tongues.

Itachi got a tick mark but he calmed himself and proceeded to take care of everything.

Both Hikaru and Azumi complied to Itachi's demands, so that this could all be finished quickly.

Itachi handled the situation quite good. He assigned a group of shinobis to collect all their fallen comrades, and all the high-ranking shinobis that are in the Kage-level went towards their base.

Itachi, Sasuke, Azumi, and Hikaru arrived there immediately along with the other 4 kages.

Hikaru saw a familiar face there, the two Uzumakis he saw during the chunin exams were there. They were now fully grown teenagers, and they had this scholarly aura around them. It seems like they've learned a ton of new fuinjutsu techniques.

Though he didn't remember their name, he'll just ask later.

They arrived in a large room and in the middle of it was a large round table. The table has 5 chairs surrounding it, and each part of the table where the chairs were had a villages sign.

Itachi sat on one of those chairs along with the other kages. It was obvious that all of them were tired, just looking at their faces was enough for Hikaru to deduce that. He even saw the Tsuchikage bending over because his back hurt so much.

Then, they started the meeting.

Bam!

"Hokage, so you're telling me that this brat ended the war in just a few seconds!? Do you think I'll believe a load of bull, just like that!?" The Raikage yelled angrily while smashing his hands on the table.

"Even if you don't believe me, it will still not change the fact that he was the one who ended the war. I'm sure you saw that giant sword that covered the skies, am I right?" Itachi calmly said.

All of them nodded.

"That was his doing." He saw the Raikage was about to burst out again, and said, "I don't have the energy to argue with you all, so shut your mouth."

The Mizukage was amused at this scene in front of her. Especially in Itachi, the rumors were indeed true that all Uchiha have that kind of mysterious charm in them. Though, that boy right beside the Hokage looks like a hot guy himself. She might just target that little boy~

Gaara, the Kazekage, then said, "Hokage, what do you think of the situation now? A lot of our forces died in the recent war, and the temporary peace treaty will soon be annulled. Is it possible to make the treaty permanent?"

Itachi thought deeply about it, and finally said, "It won't be a problem, since I think that if all of us agree, it will be possible. We five major villages, right now, needs a peace treaty. So that once someone attacks us again, like Madara, we would be able to prepare ourselves much, much faster than before. If it weren't Hikaru-san, we would all be dead by now. And, don't you all forget, we have almost all of the strongest shinobis in our side. It would be easy to invade your land, " When he said that, the air turned hostile, the Kages were directing their killing intent at him but he remained unfazed, "But we won't do that. I'm sure all of you can see that we are in a dire state, most of our strongest Jounins were annihilated in the recent war. And sadly, some of our most important shinobis were killed too. So, this time, I'd like a permanent peace treaty so that nothing like this will happen ever again!"

The Kages thought deeply about it. They know that a permanent peace treaty would bring nothing but benefits towards them. A lot of trading route would be opened towards other villages, and Konoha has the most trading partners out of all major villages.

With almost of their strong jounins dead, the major villages have the risk of being attacked by a few minor villages to take their title as a Major Village. Some may even join together just to get rid of a single Major Village.

But some of their old citizens still has this deep hatred towards other major villages, and at this point, it's simply ridiculous.

So, after considering all the pros and cons of having a treaty, the five Major Villages, for the first time since the warring era, declared a permanent peace treaty that will last for hundreds of years!
