"Ding... The flames of the Third Shinobi World War have subsided. Congratulations to the host for completing the task: making Konoha the victor of the Third Shinobi World War. Would the host like to activate Yang Release now?"
Hmm! Has the Third Shinobi World War really ended?
It seems that Konoha has also won the war against the Land of Earth. Kai had no worries about this at all. With Orochimaru, Jiraiya, the "Yellow Flash" Minato Namikaze, and the Third Hokage, known as "the strongest Hokage in history," making up most of Konoha's high-end combat power, along with the reinforcement from the Land of Lightning's battlefield, it would be strange if they couldn't defeat the Iwa-nin.
"Activate!"
Without any hesitation, Kai chose to activate Yang Release.
What is Yang Release? Kai always thought it was the abundant vitality in the Sage Body, but upon truly activating Yang Release, Kai realized his understanding was almost completely wrong.
Yang Release is a way of using power, completely transcending the use of the five elemental chakra natures: wind, lightning, earth, fire, and water.
For example, chakra is formed by combining physical energy and spiritual energy. Because the physical energy attributes of each person are different, for instance, the Uchiha clan's bodies are inclined towards fire attributes, and the Sarutobi clan's bodies are inclined towards earth attributes, different chakra natures emerge.
What sets Yang Release apart from elemental chakra is that Yang Release is the ability to infuse this massive vitality into tangible forms.
In simple terms, Yang Release is an amplifier of power.
For instance, comparing Hashirama Senju and Yamato, both can use Wood Release, but their usage is worlds apart.
Before activating Yang Release, Kai was unaware of his treasure trove, only able to utilize the life force emanating from his perfect Sage Body, stuck in a position between the two, neither superior nor inferior.
Otherwise, Wood Dragon Technique, a Wood Release technique of such level, shouldn't be something the Eight-Tails could break free from.
Now, with Yang Release activated, Kai's massive life force, like a tangled mess of threads twisted into a rope, was completely under his control.
Wood Release: Seedling Technique!
A small sapling sprouted rapidly from Kai's palm, vibrant with greenery, completely different from the previous feeling when Kai used Wood Release. The abundant life force nurtured within it, with just a thought from Kai, this small green sprout could grow into a towering tree in the blink of an eye!
Wood Release can be said to be the best carrier for Yang Release. Kai could feel that if he used Yang Release to enhance Wood Release now, its power would increase by at least five times! Truly terrifying!
Moreover, the application of Yang Release is not limited to this. Fire attribute combined with Yang Release becomes more intense; water attribute becomes more versatile; lightning attribute becomes more violent.
The infusion of life force into tangible forms, whether these forms are material or energy, is possible. It's just that Yang Release appeared too rarely in the original work. After activating Yang Release, Kai fully understood these aspects.
"Kai, what's wrong?"
Mitarashi Shishio looked at Kai beside him, feeling something inexplicably different, an aura of boundless vitality.
"Nothing, just suddenly had some insights into ninjutsu." Kai smiled slightly.
Hearing Kai's words, Mitarashi Shishio's expression turned dazed. If it were a breakthrough in battle, Shishio could understand; if it were an epiphany during arduous training, Shishio could also understand.
Damn! Even walking on the road can lead to such insights and improvements. Mitarashi Shishio felt like he had wasted decades of his life. Considering Kai's mere twelve years of age, a sense of helplessness rose in his heart.
Fortunately, Kai is his nephew. Thinking of this, Mitarashi Shishio perked up a little.
"Kai, we are almost back to the village. The wars in the Land of Wind, Land of Lightning, and Land of Water have all ended. I just wonder how the war with the Land of Earth is going."
Looking at the distant, faintly visible Hokage Rock, Mitarashi Shishio couldn't help but sigh.
"It's already over. The battlefield in the Land of Earth has also seen victory." Kai said calmly.
"Huh!"
Mitarashi Shishio was taken aback, not understanding how Kai knew this, but didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he said with a relaxed expression, "It's good that the war is over."
The war is over!
Kai smiled, not refuting Mitarashi Shishio's words. How could the war ever end? As long as ninjas exist, wars in this world will never cease...
Not to mention, although Konoha fought against four countries in the Third Shinobi World War and won in the end, its own strength was also severely damaged. As soon as there is a hint of decline, it will immediately be eyed by the Cloud-nin or Iwa-nin.
In no time, Kai and his group had stepped into the village.
They were greeted by the cheers of all the villagers of Konoha. However, for Kai, more than the cheers, it was:
"Look, look, it's the Konoha Death God—Mitarashi Kai!"
"Kai-sama is so handsome, so cute."
"Kai-sama is a Kage-level powerhouse, as strong as the Hokage. Ah, look, Kai-sama looked at me."
"No, he's looking at me. I can't take it, I'm going to die."
After years of battle, the name of Kai, the Konoha Death God, resounded throughout the entire ninja world. Not only was his fame widespread, but in Konoha, it was also known by everyone. Moreover, due to Kai's handsome face, he had a large number of admirers throughout the village.
Shaking his head helplessly, Kai directly used God Presence to return home.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. After years of battlefield slaughter, Kai rarely had such leisure time, and his strength had reached a bottleneck, so he didn't continue training.
He spent his days wandering around Konoha with Anko and Kurenai, and his relationship with Kurenai deepened. Anko had long started calling Kurenai her sister-in-law. Although every time she was called that, Kurenai's face turned red, she never once stopped Anko.
Clearly, Kurenai already had deep feelings of admiration for Kai. Every time Yūhi Kurenai saw this situation, she felt itchy with hatred and would then go to the ANBU to find trouble with Mitarashi Shishio.
It got to the point where Mitarashi Shishio, as the head of ANBU, didn't dare return to ANBU anymore.
"Kai, the Hokage-sama has returned from the Land of Earth. There will be a meeting with Konoha's upper echelons in the Hokage conference room this afternoon. Don't forget to attend." Mitarashi Shishio looked at Kai, who was lazily lying on the ground, and said helplessly.
