Chapter 257

Jiraiya watched the ninja forces that had already retreated, and he also began to relax.

No matter what, the war had finally come to an end.

And they had inexplicably signed an alliance agreement as well.

Was it really that peaceful?

Then, could he finally go out to gather material?

It wasn't just Jiraiya; even the people from Sunagakure and Konoha were overflowing with the joy of the war's end.

Their faces were filled with longing for home.

But right in the midst of this joyful atmosphere,

a piece of terrible news spread throughout the entire Ninja World!

That Hollow, which had been active in the Ninja World for half a year and would harass them from time to time, had declared war on the entire Ninja World!

Yes, that's right, that man-eating Hollow had declared war on the Ninja World!

Only then did they realize that these Hollows were actually an organized and disciplined force!

And these man-eating monsters were actually going to assemble and attack the Ninja World!!

In an instant, the entire Ninja World was filled with panic.

Especially those who had witnessed Hollows eating people alive with their own eyes; their hearts were filled with unspeakable terror!

After Jiraiya learned of this news, he also fell silent.

Good news: the Second Great Ninja War had ended.

Bad news: the Second Great Ninja War had just ended, and the Third Great Ninja War had begun.

He let out an annoyed click of his tongue.

"It seems my research trip will have to be delayed for a while longer."

His gaze became firm.

This time, it wasn't a war between nations.

It was a war concerning the life and death of the Ninja World!

At the same time, he also understood why the major ninja villages were suddenly acting like good brothers.

Because the Ninja World had a more powerful and evil enemy!

That was why the nations of the Ninja World had cast aside their previous grudges and were acting all chummy.

It was merely a temporary peace forced by external pressure.

Land of Whirlpools, Seireitei.

Uzumaki Chihiro stared at the reputation points that had surged once again and smiled with satisfaction.

This was the effect he wanted!
