Chapter 61 - The Second Great Ninja War Begins!

Land of Rain

"Captain… are we really doing this? Lord Hanzo has always ordered us to hold back," a Rain ninja asked nervously.

The squad leader's eyes were bloodshot as he growled, "Hold back? Don't forget—your brother was killed by Konoha shinobi! My younger brother… my comrades… all slaughtered by those bastards!"

The man froze for a moment… then his eyes slowly turned red as well.

"I haven't forgotten."

The captain swept his gaze across the dozens of Rain ninja behind him.

"And you? Have you forgotten?!"

"Revenge! Revenge!" they roared in unison.

"Good!" the captain bellowed. "Then follow me—kill!"

Konoha Year 32.

As the hatred between Konoha and the Hidden Rain continued to build, even the restraint imposed by their leaders could no longer contain it. Skirmishes grew more frequent, their scale expanding with each clash.

Eventually—

Control broke.

Small-scale conflicts escalated into full-scale warfare.

Konoha Frontline Command Camp

Senju Senra frowned as he studied the intelligence report in his hand.

"Senra-sama!"

A Konoha jonin rushed in.

"The Rain forces have assembled—five kilometers from our position!"

A cold glint flashed in Senra's eyes.

"Notify all units. Check weapons. Check explosive tags. Prepare for battle!"

He had waited for this day far too long.

Too many subordinates… too many Senju clan members… had already died.

Konoha's leadership had restrained large-scale engagements—

But now that the enemy had gathered and attacked first…

No one could object anymore.

"Yes, Senra-sama!" the jonin roared, eyes bloodshot with rage.

His brother had already fallen in this war.

The Battlefield Prepares

"Move! Check your weapons! Explosive tags! Launch units!"

The entire Konoha camp erupted into motion.

Ninjas rushed back and forth, preparing for war. Squad leaders barked orders as tension filled the air.

"It's finally here! Those Rain bastards—I'll kill them all!"

"I'll tear them apart!"

Hatred burned in every pair of eyes.

A ninja approached Senra once more.

"All units assembled. Ready to deploy!"

Senra stepped forward, facing his army.

His voice thundered across the battlefield:

"The Rain have slaughtered countless Konoha shinobi! Now they dare to provoke us directly!"

"How should we respond?!"

"KILL! KILL! KILL!"

Thousands of voices roared as one.

Clash of Armies

At the front of the Rain forces, a middle-aged commander shouted angrily:

"Senju Senra! Konoha started this war without cause! You've slaughtered countless citizens of the Land of Rain! Despicable! Shameless!"

Senra shot back coldly:

"You sheltered and murdered a young Konoha ninja—and now you dare to declare war? You are the truly shameless ones!"

The Rain commander's veins bulged with fury.

What kind of 'young ninja' is worth sending an entire army for? he cursed inwardly.

The reincarnation of Hashirama Senju or something?!

"Kill them!" he roared.

"Attack!" Senra answered instantly.

War Begins

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Siege launchers hurled volleys of kunai, shuriken, and explosive-tagged weapons across the battlefield.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions tore through the ranks—flesh and blood scattering in all directions.

Screams. Roars. Death.

Every ninja's primal killing instinct erupted.

A Konoha shinobi slit an enemy's throat—

Only to be stabbed through the heart by another.

Coughing blood, he forced a grin—

And drove his kunai into his killer's neck before collapsing.

Ninjutsu Devastation

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

"Lightning Style: Earth Flow!"

"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets!"

"Earth Style: Swamp!"

High-level jutsu rained down.

Ordinary ninjas fell like harvested wheat.

Burned to ash.

Crushed by torrents.

Electrocuted to cinders.

Sliced in half.

Dragged beneath the earth.

The battlefield became hell.

Commander Duel

Clang! Clang!

Senra clashed with the Rain commander, Nakagawa Rin.

Senra's blade shimmered with wind-nature chakra, every strike sharp enough to cleave anything apart.

Nakagawa struggled to keep up—his defense faltering.

Slash!

After dozens of exchanges—

Senra found an opening.

His blade pierced straight into Nakagawa's right chest.

"Lord Nakagawa!" Rain ninjas screamed.

Dozens rushed forward, throwing themselves into the fight.

"Go! We'll hold him off!"

"Get out of my way!" Senra roared.

His wind-infused blade howled as it tore through enemies, shredding them apart.

Nakagawa clutched his wound, eyes blood-red as he watched his subordinates die for him.

With a beast-like roar—

He turned and fled.

Aftermath

The battle raged from dawn to dusk.

Blood flowed like rivers.

Corpses covered the land.

Vultures circled above, screeching in anticipation of their feast.

Rain Forces: 3,000

Konoha Forces: 2,500

After eight hours of brutal slaughter—

Konoha achieved a pyrrhic victory, thanks to superior high-level combat power.

But this was only the beginning.

Upon hearing of the battle, both Iwagakure and Sunagakure seized the opportunity—

And sent their own forces into the Land of Rain.

The World Ignites

The Second Great Ninja War—

Had officially begun.

This land, where rain never ceased—

Now cried even harder beneath the weight of war.
