The real Shinobi World...
At dawn, just as the sun rose above the horizon, its soft sunlight filtering through the clouds and bathing the earth, a sound emanated from the sky in this tranquil moment. The vast Heavenly Screen, which had been flashing countdown numbers, had now completed its countdown.
Instead, lines of text gradually became clearer. This once again attracted the attention of ninjas throughout the Shinobi World, who stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
On the Training Grounds of Konoha, Naruto was conducting his daily training with his companions when he suddenly looked up at the sky. In the azure sky, the words became clearer and clearer, reflected in Naruto's eyes.
Meanwhile, similar sounds echoed from other parts of the Shinobi World. "It's here again!" people shouted excitedly, anticipating the spectacular scene that would soon appear on the Heavenly Screen.
It's been a while since we've seen anything projected from this Heavenly Screen, and everyone is filled with curiosity and anticipation.
After all, these battle scenes not only allow them to appreciate the skills of top ninjas, but also to learn a lot of combat techniques and strategies, and may even give them insight into some future scenarios.
[TOP4 Allied Five Kage vs. Edo Madara]
[The order is not ranked; it only indicates the sequence.]
[Main Character Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha] Have you ever seen an adult get angry with a child?
[The Fifth Hokage, Princess Tsunade: Tangible things will eventually fade away, only memories never fade.]
[The Fourth Raikage A, can finally unleash his full power! I can't wait!]
[The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki: The world will slowly but surely grow towards peace over time.]
[Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, we're going to fight Madara Uchiha?! I'm not even married yet.]
[The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara: In endless battles, I found my true self.]
"The Five Kage are going to join forces to deal with Madara Uchiha?!"
In Sunagakure, Temari gazed at the sky, her fingers unconsciously tightening around her Three-Star Fan: "Gaara..."
Temari and Kankuro exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. Their younger brother had become the Kazekage of Sunagakure!
Inside the Raikage's Office, seeing the words appear in the Heavenly Screen, Madara's words made A punch the desk in front of him, shattering it. "That bastard!"
On the rooftop of Konoha Hospital, Tsunade stood quietly, her golden hair fluttering in the morning breeze. She gazed at her own words Heavenly Screen, and the smiling faces of Dan and Nawaki appeared before her eyes.
The elders of Iwagakure nodded in agreement upon hearing the Tsuchikage's words. Although their Lord Tsuchikage was old, he had always held fast to this belief.
The Kirigakure ninjas couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then fell silent. Although their Mizukage always talked about marriage, his strength was absolutely not to be underestimated.
At the same time, the ninjas of Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure all stopped what they were doing and watched the changes in the Heavenly Screen with bated breath. The entire Shinobi World seemed to freeze at this moment, with only the few lines of large characters on the Heavenly Screen silently announcing the arrival of an epic battle.
The words on the Heavenly Screen gradually faded, replaced by a picture of a cracked earth. On the dusty battlefield, five figures stood together, facing the legendary man— the Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha.
"Is that... Madara Uchiha?" The Konoha ninja gasped. Even through the Heavenly Screen, the oppressive aura emanating from that man was suffocating.
Madara stood silently, his long black hair dancing in the wind, his Rinnegan radiating an indifferent light. He didn't even bother with hand seals, just stood there casually, yet the Five Kage felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The scene shifts, and the battle has begun. Tsunade is healing Gaara and Ōnoki in the back, saying, "Raikage, Mizukage, please buy some time."
"Here we go, Mizukage!" A was enveloped in Lightning Release Chakra, moving at a speed almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
"Alright, Lava Release: Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!" Mei Terumi parted her lips slightly, her hands quickly forming hand seals. She took a deep breath and spewed out a large amount of amber-colored viscous liquid from her mouth, which spread across the ground like a living thing, hissing and emitting pungent white smoke wherever it passed.
Edo Madara raised an eyebrow and retreated like a ghost. The corrosive liquid was only inches away from the hem of his clothes, yet it never touched him.
"Don't even think about escaping!" A's entire body erupted with lightning, transforming into a blue bolt of lightning that cut off Madara's retreat. The veins on his muscular arms bulged as he unleashed "Lightning Release: Lariat!" an elbow strike that slammed into Madara's chest.
"Bang!"
The blow knocked Ban from mid-air, sending him crashing into the churning, corrosive slime, but a flash of blue light appeared the next second.
A translucent blue skeleton suddenly rose from the pool of slime, and the corrosive liquid slid down the Chakra shell, yet it could not corrode it in the slightest.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!" A roared as he leaped into the air, his right arm wreathed in raging Lightning Release Chakra, transforming into a lightning blade that slashed towards Susanoo.
Clang!
The deafening clang of metal clashing was so loud it hurt the eardrums. Susanoo only leaned back slightly, while A was thrown back by the recoil, tumbling several times in the air before barely landing, his right arm trembling slightly.
Mei Terumi didn't let this opportunity pass, continuing to spew out Lava Release slime, forming a death swamp that firmly trapped Madara of Susanoo.
Inside the allied forces' positions, the ninjas stared in disbelief. A young ninja swallowed hard. "I don't think I should be here..."
"That guy managed to turn this area into this mess," the Jonin beside him said, wiping away cold sweat. "We absolutely cannot underestimate him."
"It's... none of our business." The ninja's voice trembled.
The Jonin at the front made a decisive move. "You all come with me to keep an eye on the other direction!"
Just then, the ground trembled violently. The trapped Susanoo suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and a blue giant filled with bones and muscles appeared. With a shake of its arms, the slime swamp was instantly vaporized by the violent Chakra shockwave.
"Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique combined with Lava Release: Kekkei Genkai?" Madara's voice came from high above. "The attack power is indeed impressive."
Mei Terumi gazed up at the imposing blue giant, a bitter smile playing on her red lips, "I've always admired men who aren't easily melted..." She wiped the sweat from her brow, her eyes suddenly sharpening, "But someone like you... forget it."
Ai stood beside her, his entire body once again enveloped in Lightning Release Chakra. He stared intently at Susanoo's movements, his teeth grinding. "He can completely withstand my maximum speed..."
"Not fast enough..." A's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and Lightning Release Chakra surged violently across his body like boiling blue flames. "I need even greater speed to unleash the power to shatter that tortoise shell!"
High in the sky, Edo Madara chuckled upon hearing this, and the four giant Chakra swords of Susanoo drew deadly arcs in the air. "And what about your defense?" Before he finished speaking, the giant swords had already slashed down with a whooshing sound.
"Sand Shield!" Gaara waved his arms, and the sand instantly coalesced into an indestructible barrier. At the same time, Ōnoki formed hand seals. "Earth Release: Rock Giant!" A giant made of hard granite rose from the ground, forming a double layer of defense with the sand shield.
Boom!
Amidst the deafening crash, sand and dust filled the air. When the dust settled, the Sand Shield and the Rock Giant, though riddled with cracks, still stood firm.
Ōnoki's wrinkled face hardened with determination. "This has become a battle to protect each other."
"A double defense of sand and rock?" A hint of admiration flashed in Edo Madara's Rinnegan. "A clever design indeed."
"They're here. Now it's time for a full-scale attack," Ōnoki suddenly said, beckoning to Ai and Mei Terumi, "Mizukage, Raikage, come closer!"
The three quickly drew closer, with Ōnoki whispering urgent tactical instructions. Gaara, meanwhile, manipulated the sand to create a temporary barrier around them, blocking any possible spying.
However, would Edo Madara give them a chance to breathe? Susanoo raised its giant sword once more.
An overwhelming force swept in, distorting the very air. Ōnoki's rock giant was the first to be hit, its rocky surface beginning to crack in the flames.
"Scatter!" At Ōnoki's command, the Five Kage instantly split into five different positions. A's entire body erupted with lightning, and he circled around to the flank of Susanoo at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye; Gaara, under the cover of sand clouds, rose into the air, his hands already forming hand seals.
The tactics officially began at this moment.
The real Shinobi World...
Early in the morning, inside the Konoha inn, Chiyo stood in the room, her wrinkled fingers unconsciously stroking the scroll at her waist. The scene playing on the Heavenly Screen reflected shimmering light and shadow in her cloudy eyes—it was a scene of the Five Kage fighting side by side, and standing in the middle was none other than Gaara, who had become the Gaara Kazekage.
"It seems this negotiation is going well..." Chiyo narrowed her eyes, her lips relaxing almost imperceptibly.
The scene projected on the Heavenly Screen is likely a vision of the future. Since Gaara was able to become the Kazekage, it means that Konoha did not exterminate Sunagakure after this incident.
But then she straightened her hunched back, "However, we still need to show some remorse, after all, we were indeed in the wrong this time."
Konoha, large numbers of ninjas and civilians had already gathered on the streets.
A Genin to the sky and shouted, "Look! That's Lady Tsunade!" The surrounding villagers looked up and saw Tsunade radiating green Chakra light in the Heavenly Screen, with the Strength of a Hundred Technique markings blooming on her forehead.
"The shadows from other villages are here too!" A member of the Hyuga Clan's branch family exclaimed, activating his Byakugan. "Those are... the Raikage of Kumogakure, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, the Mizukage of Kirigakure, and... those are the new Kazekage of Sunagakure?"
A gasp suddenly erupted from the crowd. "Uchiha... Madara?!"
"Isn't he already dead?" Sakura covered her mouth, recalling the battle at the Valley of the End that had been shown on the Heavenly Screen before. "The First Hokage was clearly..."
Kakashi narrowed his single eye. "Impure World Reincarnation... Was it Orochimaru's doing? Or was it Kabuto, one of his subordinates from earlier?" His hand unconsciously reached for his Forehead Protector, covering the transplanted Sharingan.
On a giant stone platform floating above Iwagakure, Ōnoki was holding a teacup when he saw the scene of himself fighting alongside the four Kage in the Heavenly Screen. He was so startled that his hand trembled, and he spilled the scalding tea on his legs without even realizing it.
"That guy... was resurrected?!" He suddenly stood up excitedly, only to hear a sharp crack from his back. "Ouch! My back..."
"Lord Tsuchikage!" The surrounding Iwa ninja rushed forward to help him, but the old man waved his hand, staring intently at the sky. "Don't worry about me! That Susanoo form..."
Inside the Raikage's Office in Kumogakure, Ai smashed an entire wall with a single punch, his body wreathed in furious Lightning Release Chakra as debris flew everywhere.
"Damn it! That Madara..." He stared at the image in the Heavenly Screen of his all-out attack being easily blocked by Susanoo, veins bulging on his muscular arms. "I need faster speed... greater power!"
On the vast ocean, the Kirigakure ships cut through the waves. Mei Terumi leaned against the ship's railing, her red lips slightly parted, and she gently exhaled a breath carrying a sour mist.
In the Heavenly Screen, her Lava Release technique caused the surrounding water ninjas to step back in awe. "Heh... it seems my future self will still be this charming~" She tossed her chestnut hair, then sighed as if suddenly remembering something. "But facing that monster, I actually have the mind to talk about marriage..."
Meanwhile, atop the tower in Sunagakure, Temari and Kankuro stared at the sky in disbelief. "That really is... Gaara?" Temari's Three-Star Fan fell to the ground with a thud. She had never imagined that her younger brother, feared by the villagers, could become the Kazekage who protected the entire village.
Kankuro pointed a trembling hand at the Heavenly Screen: "Look at his eyes... they're completely different from the Gaara we know." In the image, Gaara manipulates the sandstorms that blot out the sky, his eyes firm and composed, a stark contrast to the murderous younger brother he remembered.
Beneath the Heavenly Screen, the entire Shinobi World was abuzz with excitement because of this new development. Some were terrified, some were thrilled, but many more ninjas, after witnessing the Five Kage fighting side by side, quietly planted seeds of hope in their hearts.
In the dimly lit underground base, flickering candlelight cast distorted shadows on the walls.
With his hands sealed, Orochimaru lay weakly in bed every day, his golden snake eyes reflecting the earth-shattering battle in the Heavenly Screen. A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"What a mesmerizing scene..." His hoarse voice echoed in the empty cave, as chilling as a snake flicking its tongue. In the Heavenly Screen, Edo Madara's Susanoo fiercely clashing with the Five Kage, each collision generating powerful energy fluctuations.
Orochimaru's tongue unconsciously licked his lips, a morbid curiosity flickering in his eyes. "Is this the masterpiece of my future Impure World Reincarnation?" He suddenly chuckled, his shoulders trembling slightly, "Or... is it Kabuto?"
He recalled Kabuto's timid demeanor when he left, and then thought of the content that had recently been shown on the Heavenly Screen, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. "Sage Mode... the legacy of Ryūchi Cave... it seems Kabuto has more potential than I imagined."
Thinking back to the less successful Impure World Reincarnation beings during the battle against the Third Hokage, he paused slightly, "For Impure World Reincarnation being to display such power, the success of this Impure World Reincarnation far exceeds my expectations."
From the shadows in the corner, a small white-scaled snake slowly slithered out and climbed onto his arm. He mused thoughtfully, "The Shinobi World of the future looks even more... delicious than I imagined."
"Madara's power... Hashirama's cells... and Sasuke-kun..." Orochimaru's voice trailed off, finally turning into a chilling chuckle.
