Ascension Or Journey From World To World

Somewhere in the Land of Rain.

Battlefield.

Almost 20,000 shinobis gathered on a huge plain. All of them were either part of the Konoha army, or part of the Ame army, or scouts and spies of Iwa and Suna.

The faces of all the shinobis were filled with seriousness, determination, and a little hidden fear. The battlefield was shrouded in an appropriate atmosphere, because in a few minutes a large-scale battle should begin, in which thousands of young shinobis and kunoichis would die, and their red blood would sprinkle the entire battlefield.

Not all of them wanted to fight and participate in this war, and, of course, none of them wanted to lose their lives in it. But most of these shinobis and kunoichis never had a choice. They are soldiers of their village and must obey the orders of their leaders.

If one of them tries to escape or refuses to participate in the war and follow orders, then such a person will be declared a deserter and enemy of they village... And if this person does not have great power, then such a life will be much worse than a possible death during the war...

Ame shinobis stopped their run and looked forward. The reason for this was the appearance of a white-haired child in front of them.

They did not know who this child was, but experienced jonins looked at him with sharp eyes. Their instincts said that this child is dangerous, deadly dangerous. And they never doubted their instincts, because they are shinobis, killers and warriors. If they doubted their instincts, they would never have survived to this day and would never have become jonins. Jonin is not just a title and an indicator of the power level, jonin is a person with great experience, knowledge, and certain psychology. Not every shinobi can become a jonin, but everyone who becomes one is an elite among other shinobis.

"Be on you guard, we don't know who this child is and what he is doing here, but he wears the clothes of Konoha's chunin," raising his right hand, one of the army commanders said loudly.

"Mamoru-sama, but he is just a child," looking at the commander, some chunin said.

"He is not just a child. Although I cannot sense his power, I feel that he can kill me in one move," gray-haired jonin said.

Hearing his words, the young genins and chunins nervously gulped and moved their eyes at the white-haired child. They didn't doubt the gray-haired jonin's words, because he was one of the most experienced Ame shinobi.

"Ken-sama, is this a joke? And you said that so we relax a bit. Right?" going up to the gray-haired jonin, the young jonin asked.

He hoped their senior comrade was just joking to clear the air and calm the young shinobis. But when he saw his serious expression, jonin realized that this was not a joke at all.

"Even Hanzo-sama does not give me such dangerous vibrations. I don't know where this kid came from, but he is a real monster. I'm sure that if he can grow up, he will not be weaker than Hashirama and Madara," continuing to look at the white-haired child, Ken said seriously.

His intuition is really very strong and he practically guessed Ray's power level...

_____

Ray was standing between the two armies and looking at the Ame shinobis. He felt their emotions and knew that most of them were sure that he was an ordinary child who was looking for his death.

Ray turned his gaze to the jonins and saw that some of them flinched.

"Probably these are the elite jonins of Ame. Interesting. Their intuition and instincts are much stronger than other shinobis. Is it because of their combat experience?" tilting his head, Ray thought aloud.

He shook his head and held out his right hand palm down, after which a katana in the black scabbard appeared in his hand.

It was an ordinary katana... for Ray... For other people, this katana was one of the best blades, because it is not just a blade, but a black blade.

Ray drew his sword and his aura immediately changed, which did not go unnoticed by Konoha shinobis and Ame shinobis. Ray's aura became calm, sharp, and dangerous, like the sharpest, but the completely controlled blade.

Experienced shinobis knew that this was not a common aura... it was the aura of a Sword Master. But they could not understand how a twelve-year-old kid could become a Sword Master? Even Hatake Sakumo has not yet become a Sword Master, and he is one of the strongest swordsmen and shinobi of this World.

Ray looked at the Ame army with a cold gaze and began to run toward them.

[I do not want to massacre and kill all of you. But I need to show a part of my power to the inhabitants of this World. Therefore, I will only kill the worst of you.] continuing to run, Ray thought.

Konoha army.

Seeing Ray's actions, Konoha shinobi began to worry. But they were not worried about Ray, but about themselves. They heard their commander's words that if a white-haired chunin dies, Tsunade-Hime will never let them live and kill them with her own hands.

"Hirato-sama, he started to move! What should we do?" looking at the commander, the chunin from the Yamanaka clan asked.

Nara Hirato was looking towards the enemy army and was thinking about something.

"Get ready for the battle, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to fight alone against an entire army," continuing to look at the Ame army, Hirato said seriously.

All his laziness disappeared and he was enveloped in the aura of a real commander who should lead his people to victory.

"The plan remains the same. Our first attack will be a combined fire jutsu," Nara Hirato added.

"Hai," the chunin answered and returned to his place.

Hirato took his chin with his index finger and thumb and started to think.

[What are you up to? The head of the clan said that you are much smarter and stronger than other clans and elders of the village think. But I do not understand the reason and purpose of your actions... Do you want to make a name for yourself? Or do you want to demonstrate your true power? But why? As the last male Uzumaki, you already have the inviolability and protection of the village. Although this also has its drawbacks, since you are obliged to marry at least 8 women and restore the Uzumaki clan.

Anyway, I don't understand... If only... Yes, it is very logical. You do this only to protect your little sister and tell the elders of the village and clan leaders that you are not a child whom they can manipulate. Hmm. Perhaps that is really the case.]

Hirato was a jonin and one of the smartest members of the Nara clan, and his deductive skills were never in doubt. If the members of the Nara clan were not so lazy, they would rule this world. They are just too smart... And probably this is the reason for their passivity. After all, they understand that if they show a thirst for power, then their own village will destroy them.

Any shinobi knows that a smart enemy is the most dangerous enemy. What can not be said about a strong enemy... A strong enemy is not always the most dangerous enemy, but often the most arrogant and self-confident enemy.

The World of Naruto very clearly demonstrates this pattern.

Some Akatsuki members manipulated the shinobi of the hidden villages.

Nagato manipulated all Akatsuki members.

Obito manipulated Nagato.

Madara manipulated Obito.

And the weak but smart Black Zetsu manipulated Madara and the whole Shinobi World...

________________________________

Ame army.

Ame shinobis also noticed Ray's actions and tensed a little. They no longer underestimated him, because they believed the words of old Ken and their commander, Mamoru.

"Mamoru-san, the white-haired has begun to move, what should we do?" running up to Mamoru, one of the commanders of the Ame army asked.

Although he was a commander and a strong jonin, he was not as experienced and wise as Mamoru, so he wanted to know the opinion of his older comrade.

"Order all genins and chunins to line up and prepare to use the <Water Release: Water Bullet Technique>. He can be strong, but even the Third Raikage could not defend himself from such a massive attack," looking at the jonin, Mamoru answered.

Jonin nodded and left to give orders.

_____

1 minute later.

Ray ran faster and faster, he still hasn't used Armament Haki, Rokushiki, or his other abilities. He ran like an ordinary human... like Forrest.

300 meters.

200 meters.

100 meters.

50 meters.

As soon as he reached the mark of 50 meters, several thousand genins and chunins began to form hand seals and prepare for the attack.

<Water Release: Water Bullet Technique>

The genins and chunins raised their hands to their mouth and released a large quantity of water in the form of a powerful torrent aimed towards Ray.

"Tsk. They look like frogs that shoot down insects by spitting water in them... or like Squirtles..."

As soon as the genins and chunins completed their attack, all the jonins began to form seals.

<Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique>

The jonins created hundreds of water dragons, which they directed at Ray.

Ame shinobis were able to use so much water jutsus only because of the increased humidity and the abundance of water in the Land of Rain. If they tried to use these jutsus in the Land of the Wind, then they would not be able to create even 10% of all these jutsus.

Of all the famous shinobi, only the Second Hokage could use powerful water jutsus regardless of weather and environment.

Ray ignored thousands of torrents and hundreds of dragons and continued to run toward the Ame army.

Konoha shinobis and Ame shinobis watched his actions with wide eyes, they thought that this child was crazy.

Even Nara Hirato began to doubt Ray's sanity.

But when it was 10 meters between Ray and all this water, Ray stopped, bent his knees, and closed his eyes.

<Shigure Soen Ryu. 12th Form: Kirisame>

<Sadachi: Kirisame>

Ray's calm voice sounded across the battlefield.

Young shinobis looked at him in bewilderment, they did not know what he did and what jutsu he used. But experienced jonins felt fear and horror. They were able to see several afterimages as he cut the air with his katana.

[How!? How did he do it! What a tremendous speed!] all these jonins shouted in their minds.

This is the first time they have seen such a speed and sword technique.

They continued to stare at Ray and the enormous mass of water approaching him.

When between Ray and a huge mass of water was five meters... part of the wave before which Ray stood, scattered and turned into a great many drops, which began to fall on the ground and two armies.

All the shinobi froze and did not know what to do next. Even in their wildest fantasies, they could not imagine such a development.

"He... cut all our water jutsu?" the pale jonin of Ame asked.

"This is genjutsu! Kai! Kai! Kai! Kai!" forming the tiger seal, another jonin shouted.

"We are doomed, we are doomed. He is a monster! He is a real monster!" falling to his knees, the chunin cried out.

The Ame shinobis were devastated and did not want to fight anymore. They were not idiots and understood that a person who was able to destroy the joint attack of several thousand shinobis can also destroy these shinobis themselves.

But they did not even guess and did not realize that Ray had not yet completed his attack and this was only its first part.

<Udachi: Kirisame>

Like a whisper of the devil, Ray's calm voice sounded again.

Ame shinobis opened their eyes and mouths wide and began to run away in different directions.

Konoha shinobis were also shocked and surprised, they thought that Ray had already finished his attack, but it turned out that this was only the beginning!

All the huge mass of water that Ray cut, began to rise into the sky and take the form of several thousand swallows.

Ray ignored the shocked and respectful looks of Konoha shinobis and the desperate looks of Ame shinobis. He pointed with the tip of katana towards the Ame army and made a piercing attack.

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

Water swallows shot at Ame shinobis, like a hail of arrows and spears. Most of the Ame shinobis knelt and covered their heads with their hands, some of them created earth walls, others used water shields, each tried to defend himself and save his life. But... Swallows were piercing their defense like a chidori through butter.

After several tens of seconds, the Ame shinobis began to notice that the swallows attacked not all, but only some of them. As if they know exactly who their targets are...

The shooting continued for several minutes, after which the number of dead Ame shinobis reached 2000 people.

The Konoha shinobis did not approach the Ame army and continued to observe them from a short distance.

But they wondered why the swallows attacked only certain people and completely ignored others?

Even the members of the Nara clan could not answer this question... It looked very strange...

In the meantime, Ray sheathed the katana and looked at the remnants of the Ame army.

Most Ame shinobis have already resigned to their fate and were awaiting further action by Ray.

It was a war and a battle to the death. The war in which Konoha won... No… The war in which one man won...

And now, the further fate of the whole Village depends on the decision of one single person.

"Go away. The battle is over... Return to your village and protect it from Suna and Iwa. They will not miss this opportunity and try to attack you," looking at the Ame shinobis, Ray said calmly.

As soon as he finished saying these words, Ray turned and walked toward the Konoha army.

"Wait! What does all this mean? You won and have the right to demand that Ame become part of the Land of Fire. This is the law," the gray-haired jonin shouted.

[This is a stupid law, because of which all wars are waged. The winner takes all... legally. The leaders of the Shinobi Countries are truly complete idiots since they made such a law.]

"Whatever. Do what you want. But... if you become part of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, you will provoke even more conflicts," continuing to walk without stopping, Ray answered.

Jonin wanted to say something else but changed his mind. He ordered his people to gather all the bodies of the fallen comrades and prepare for their return to the village.

Ame shinobis did not know why this swordsman spared their lives. But they were happy that they remained alive and could return home to protect their village.

[<Ame no Kenshi>, Swordman of the rain or Heavenly Swordsman.] looking at Ray's back, the gray-haired jonin thought.

He did not yet know that this title would go into the annals of the history of this world.

At the same time.

"You are really very strong and skilled ninjas. And you are the only ones who were able to survive my attacks and not die from my poisons...

Great!!! I decided that I would save your lives. But. Under one condition! Starting today, the three of you will be holding the title of <Konoha's Legendary Sannin>. I, Hanzo of the Salamander, dub you Sannin!" looking at the three wounded ninjas, the man in the respirator said.

_____

Not far from the battlefield of the Sannin against Hanzo.

"Hmm. Nothing has changed and all three are alive. I was afraid that my actions might influence Hanzo's decision and he will try to kill these three. I don't care about the snake bastard and the toad pervert, but if Tsuna-chan got a serious wound or was in trouble, I would have killed Hanzo and saved her immediately. After all, she is a person dear to me, and I love her as much as I love all my cute maids," a man with white hair and red eyes said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he simply disappeared. But in reality, he continues to follow Tsunade and protect her from the shadows...
