NOVEL WEB Chapter 200: Chapter 200
The war was over.
When people first heard those words, their initial reaction was stunned silence.
It took a moment for the full weight of the announcement to sink in.
The surrender of the Kirigakure marked the complete conclusion of this war.
Konoha had won a war against four great villages.
"It's over. The war is over!"
Someone spoke, their voice trembling with excitement.
The words quickly spread, echoing throughout Konoha camp. Soon, every ninja had heard the news, leaving many momentarily dazed.
They had been preparing for one final, decisive battle. How could it be over so suddenly?
"Kirigakure has surrendered! Their Third Mizukage announced the surrender!"
With this explanation, clarity replaced confusion, and joy erupted.
The sudden surrender might have come as a surprise, but for Konoha ninjas, all that mattered was that the war had ended—and they had won.
"We won! We actually won!"
"The war is over! We're going home!"
"This is incredible! The war is finally over!"
"I heard it's because Mochizuki Hui-sama killed the Second Mizukage and because of what happened in the Land of Rain. That's why the Third Mizukage decided to surrender."
"Of course! Without Hui-sama, Konoha might really have been destroyed this time!"
"Hui-sama is the Demi-God of the Ninja World! No wonder the Kirigakure surrendered!"
"Now that the war is over, we can finally go home."
"Victory for Konoha!"
"Hui-sama!"
Cheers erupted across Konoha camp, with ninjas breaking into celebration.
Even Mochizuki Hui joined in, this time without hesitation. For once, there was no looming battlefield to rush to, no enemies to face. The war was truly over.
This alone was reason enough to celebrate.
…
Meanwhile, the reinforcements from the Land of Rain arrived at Konoha camp, battle-ready and determined.
They were met with an unexpected sight, a triumphant celebration.
When they learned the war had ended just before their arrival, their emotions were a mix of relief and joy.
"Hui-sama… He arrives one day earlier than us and single-handedly ends the war. Truly…"
The Uchiha Clan Head shook his head in amazement.
"A miracle," an elite Konoha ninja beside him added, smiling as he watched Hui surrounded by a throng of adoring young ninjas.
"Indeed, a miracle. But then, he is the Demi-God of the Ninja World," another chimed in before joining the celebrations.
The entire Konoha camp overflowed with happiness and excitement. Ninjas reveled freely, shouting, cheering, and venting the stress and tension they had endured during the war.
…
At the same time, word of the Kirigakure's surrender and the war's end began to spread across the Ninja World.
Intelligence reports traveled swiftly, reaching villages, nations, and even ordinary civilians.
Every person who heard the news reacted with shock and awe.
"They won. Konoha actually won. This is unbelievable."
"Before the war started, everyone thought Konoha was doomed. But in the end, they won."
"Even now, it's hard to believe. Four great villages, over thirty thousand ninjas, against one village—and Konoha won."
"This feels surreal, even knowing it's true."
"This war was nothing short of a miracle."
Discussions buzzed in every corner of the Ninja World, with people expressing their amazement and disbelief. The war had shattered every expectation.
"This entire war was Mochizuki Hui's show. From the Moonfall Mountain incident to the Thunderstorm Zone in the Land of Lightning, to his final battle with the Second Mizukage, Hui single-handedly shaped the course of the war and decided its outcome."
"No wonder they call him the Demi-God of the Ninja World. Hui turned this war into the stage for his ascension."
"The Second Raikage, Second Kazekage, Second Tsuchikage, and Second Mizukage—all killed by Hui alone. His strength is terrifying, and his achievements are unparalleled."
"And don't forget the Moonfall Mountain's Divine Judgement or the Land of Lightning's Heaven's Calamity. Those two techniques alone changed the war. The places where they were used will be remembered forever in the Ninja World."
"Yes, Divine judgement killed the Second Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki. Heaven's Calamity wiped out four or five thousand Rock and Sand ninjas in one stroke. Those techniques are legendary, and no one can ignore them."
Hui's name resounded across the Ninja World, reaching heights of fame that rivaled the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
…
"His ascension to the title of God of Shinobi is inevitable," people speculated. "But what will Konoha do with such a figure leading them?"
"The last God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, ended the Warring States Era and ushered in the era of the Ninja Villages. What will this new God of Shinobi do? It feels like the world is on the brink of an upheaval. Maybe the age of the ninja villages will end."
Others were less alarmed. "When Kirigakure surrendered, they negotiated a condition: Konoha wouldn't attack them for fifteen years. Hui agreed. Maybe all he wants is peace for Konoha."
"Let's hope so. The real fear is if Hui's ambitions are as grand as Hashirama's. Fifteen years from now, he might move to end this era entirely."
"What can we do? Hui is too powerful. He's already guiding the fate of wars single-handedly. Once he fully becomes the God of Shinobi, the entire Ninja World will be at his mercy."
…
Discussions and debates spread like wildfire. Nations and villages alike realized how powerless they were in the face of Hui's strength.
"The future of the Ninja World is in Hui's hands," someone lamented. "Our fates now depend entirely on his will."
"How can we stop him? He's the God of Shinobi. The only way to change this is if someone could match him."
"But who could do that? Another God of Shinobi? Impossible!"
"Not impossible. Remember, there was one man who rivaled Hashirama in his prime—Madara Uchiha."
"Madara… Honestly, I hope the world never sees another Madara Uchiha."
The realization they came to was a grim, the future of the Ninja World had slipped out of their control.
"Mochizuki Hui's will is now the future of the Ninja World," someone concluded.
The thought sent shivers down their spines.
He was only sixteen—barely seventeen. For the world to be so utterly shaped by someone so young…
Was this an extraordinary blessing, or a terrible curse?
Across the Ninja World, leaders, ninja's, and civilians alike grappled with the reality that Hui's will had become the deciding force in their lives.
From this day forward, the world's future rested in his hands.
