Chapter 107 :Death Of White Fang
In the Third Ninja War, it can be said that Kurama single-handedly reversed the tide and brought it to an end.
Kurama demonstrated his overwhelming power to the Third Raikage. The Cloud Shinobi, witnessing this display, came to a singular conclusion—Kurama, as the Nine-Tails, was the true strength of Konoha. With Konoha wielding such an unstoppable force, Cloud had no hope of victory.
This belief was reinforced by the fact that Kurama had previously overpowered the Eight-Tails within Killer Bee. The power of the Nine-Tails alone was already beyond comprehension, but with Kurama still fully capable of controlling even the Eight-Tails' strength, which village, which nation, could possibly stand against him?
Of course, the Cloud Shinobi, including the Third Raikage, had no idea that Kurama also possessed the power of One-Tail Shukaku within her. It was precisely because of such terrifying forces within Konoha—Kurama —that Cloud had no choice but to withdraw from the war, surrender, and seek an alliance.
And what of Iwagakure?
The Rock Shinobi forces were decimated. Kurama and the Third Raikage together annihilated over 20,000 Iwa ninjas. To the Rock Shinobi, Kurama was even more terrifying than the Third Raikage. If the Raikage was a monster, then Kurama was a god of destruction.
Compared to the Third Raikage, Kurama alone had eliminated twice as many Rock Shinobi—thousands upon thousands. But more importantly, Kurama was "a shinobi of Konoha."
Third Tsuchikage Onoki, realizing the extent of Konoha and Cloud's devastation upon his forces, feared the worst—he suspected that Konoha and Cloud had joined forces. With such immense losses and no allies to count on, the Land of Earth and Iwagakure had no choice but to withdraw from the war entirely.
After this, the conflict turned to Konoha versus the Land of Wind's Sunagakure. But this battle was over before it even started. This time, the war ended through sheer force.
Sunagakure, the weakest of the Five Great Villages, stood no chance. Kurama unleashed the power of Shukaku, and a single Tailed Beast Bomb was enough to show them the true meaning of destruction—true nuclear devastation. If they did not want their village to be wiped off the map, they had only one choice: surrender. And so, they too withdrew from the war.
Now, only Kirigakure remained.
