The Powerful Figures of Kumogakure Through the Ages

A day before Yichen and his group set off, Turtle Island welcomed its first guest in two years: Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki was brought to the island alone by Samui and the other two. If he had a choice, Killer B would not have wanted to risk letting Naruto Uzumaki come to the island.

Killer B would rather take the training materials from Jinchuriki Turtle Island to Konoha than allow anyone else to enter Turtle Island, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

As for Kakashi's original plan to arrange for the Anbu to protect Naruto, it was directly rejected by the Cloud ninja.

Killer B personally inspected Naruto upon his arrival on the island, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that Naruto had nothing on him that could be used for tracking.

Then, while ordering Turtle Island to evacuate, he led Naruto into the True Waterfall on Turtle Island.

The True Waterfall was very easy for Naruto, and he finished in no time.

However, in the next step, after the Eight Trigrams Seal on Naruto was broken, a problem arose.

In the original story, Naruto had already learned Senjutsu when he came to Turtle Island, and he had a strong control over Chakra, so it didn't take him too long to seize the power of the Nine-Tails.

However, this Naruto is still a fool who only knows how to use Shadow Clone to Chakra Control is far inferior to that of the original work.

Therefore, he failed in his struggle against the Nine-Tails- Tails.

Fortunately Naruto, he still had a backup plan left by Minato Namikaze within him. Minato reinforced the Eight Trigrams Seal just as Minato Namikaze was about to completely go berserk.

Thus, Naruto had a second chance.

After resting for a day, Naruto persuaded Killer B with his talk-no-jutsu, and then began his second attempt.

This time, Naruto succeeded. With the help of his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto successfully obtained the Nine-Tails 'Chakra.

Killer B dared not keep Naruto on Turtle Island. Naruto had just succeeded when Samui and his two companions sent him away.

Watching Samui and the other two see Naruto off, Killer B felt a strange unease for some reason.

Once Naruto was out of sight, Killer B immediately ordered the Giant Turtle to move to a different location.

The Mabui beside him looked puzzled and asked, "Killer B, if we move to Turtle Island now, won't Samui and the others never be able to come back?"

Killer B thought for a moment and said, "Let's move first. I have a bad feeling."

"It's okay if Samui and the others can't come back, we can go to the mainland to find them, but Turtle Island can't be allowed to be destroyed!"

Mabui nodded without objecting, but a hint of worry appeared in her eyes after hearing Killer B's words.

Soon, Killer B's unease was confirmed.

Although he ordered the relocation of Turtle Island, it was too late. Yichen only needed to determine a general area to accurately locate Turtle Island.

Yichen arrived at the location of Turtle Island where Naruto had just left. At this time, Turtle Island was still within Yichen's Mind's Eye range!

Soon, Yichen led the group to Turtle Island.

As the black dot in the distant sky grew larger and larger, Killer B's heart sank to the bottom.

After taking a deep breath, Killer B said, "Summon Chiyo!"

Mabui nodded, her face pale. She said, "Did Konoha betray us?"

Her thinking made perfect sense, because Turtle Island had been problem-free for two years, but trouble struck right after Naruto left.

If the Iwa ninja were tracking Naruto here, why Iwa ninja only arriving now when Naruto has been on the island for a day?

In any case, Mabui didn't believe that the Iwa ninja were deliberately waiting for Naruto to leave.

Killer B said, "That's not important anymore. Let's hurry, or it'll be too late."

The man in Mabui was startled and quickly went to make the arrangements.

When Yichen and his group approached from a great distance, nine figures were already standing on Turtle Island.

Except for Killer B, all nine of them were Reanimated Body).

They are: the First to the Third Raikage, a total of three Raikage, the Former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki before Yugito, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Jiraiya.

Jiraiya felt a little uneasy looking at the large group of burly men around him.

When he was first summoned, he was somewhat happy, thinking that he would be able to see Orochimaru again.

Who were these people around him? Jiraiya was quite tall and strong, but compared to these burly men, he was just a skinny dog.

The Third Raikage, glancing at Yichen and the others in the distance, said to Killer B, "Killer B, it seems A has also perished in battle. I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

The Third Raikage did not blame Killer B.

The other two shadows looked at each other, then checked their own positions, understood what was going on, and fell silent.

However, the Kinkaku Ginkaku looked at Killer B with hostile gazes.

Seeing this, the Second Raikage said, "Kinkaku Ginkaku, your rebellion is over. Now that the village is in trouble, I hope we can fight together."

Kinkaku scoffed, "What do you mean the village is in trouble? The village is gone! Your successor is clearly unsuitable to be the Raikage!"

That's what he said, but he didn't say he wouldn't participate in the war.

Seeing the attitude of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, the Second Raikage didn't say anything.

The two former Jinchuriki remained silent, simply channeling the Tailed Beast Chakra within their bodies.

Jiraiya looked left Jiraiya right, thinking: Is nobody paying attention to me? Is nobody giving me any tasks? I'm so socially awkward!

At this moment, Killer B said, "Jiraiya, now that the Cloud ninja and the Konoha Village are allies, we hope that Senior Jiraiya will lend a helping hand when the Kumogakure is in trouble."

Jiraiya had heard about the current situation in the Ninja World from Orochimaru. He sighed, looked at the Iwa ninja getting closer and closer in the sky, and said, "Alright!"

The Third Raikage said to Killer B, "Killer B, tell me about the enemy."

"Yes! The enemy is Iwa ninja, and the leader is the Fourth Tsuchikage, Yichen. You should have met him before."

"He possesses the Bloodline Limit Release: Light Release, Senjutsu, and multiple Kekkei Genkai."

"He also knows all Five-Attribute Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, and gravity-based Ninjutsu; he's extremely powerful."

Kinkaku Ginkaku said disdainfully, "You know quite a lot!"

Killer B ignored him and continued, "That short old man is the Third Tsuchikage, and he knows Dust Release."

"There are two Uchiha, a man and a woman, both of whom have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and are able to use Susanoo."

"That middle-aged man is the Perfect Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails. That older woman is the Fourth Tsuchikage's younger sister, and she is skilled in Yin Release."

"That blue-eyed one is from the Hyuga Clan; his eyes evolved from the Byakugan."

"The remaining two, the man is from the Yuki Clan and is skilled in Ice Release. I don't know the last girl either, but judging from her age, she should have recently become Kage Level."

In the sky, Yichen, Ōnoki, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, Han, Natsuki, Neji, Haku, and Shion were also sizing up the people opposite them.

Yichen laughed, "The Cloud ninja have indeed mastered the Impure World Reincarnation. Judging from this formation, they've summoned all the powerful figures who have died since the founding of the Kumogakure."

"The Third Raikage is here too. I remember he was surrounded and killed by the Mist ninja. His body should be in the hands of the Mist ninja."

"Regardless of how the Cloud ninja did it, this Third Raikage is the most difficult to deal with of all the Reanimated Body."

"His Lightning Armor defense and offense, so I'll handle him. I love dealing with those who excel only in speed and power."

"I won't go into detail about Jiraiya and those two previous Jinchuriki. The two on the far right are Cloud ninja and Ginkaku, missing-nin from the Kinkaku. Their ninja tools are quite strange."

"First, don't touch the golden rope they're holding, and then no matter what they say, don't say anything in response."

"Everything else is secondary, but these two are also Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so their strength isn't weak."

"Finally, there are the First Raikage and Second Raikage. I don't know how strong they are. As for the Third Raikage, do you know him?"

Ōnoki said, "Neither of them is as strong as the Third Raikage. The Second Raikage knows more, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy about him."

"The First Raikage is said to be a ranged Ninjutsu user, but I've never seen him."

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Alright, most of these people are Jinchuriki, so their strength shouldn't be underestimated. Everyone be careful."

"Moreover, these are all Reanimated Body, Reanimated Body possess the characteristic of being immortal. After defeating them, do not be careless. The simplest method is to use Sealing Jutsu to deal with them."

"If there's enough time, Shion and I will seal them away immediately."

"There's another way to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation. I've already told Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, and Natsuki, who are skilled in Genjutsu. You can all cooperate with them."

"Yes," everyone responded in unison.

Yichen did not assign specific tasks. The opponents were standing too close and could switch positions at any time, making it impossible to plan the opponents in advance.

Yichen's tactic is to confront things head-on with absolute strength!

Before coming here, Yichen's worst expectation was that the Cloud ninja would summon fifteen Kage Level Reanimated Body.

Aside from the souls of the Fourth Raikage, the Fifth Raikage, Yugito, which are in Yichen's possession, the Cloud ninja can summon the spirits of everyone in their village.

Not only that, theoretically, the Cloud ninja could also summon ninjas like Jiraiya who they had killed.

If they're lucky, they can even summon the ninjas they've injured.

Of course, you can also summon ninjas from the Warring States Period.

Besides the eight people around him, Yichen had also prepared a large number of Kage Level Reanimated Body.

However, it seems that these backup plans are no longer needed. Moreover, even bringing eight Kage Level to deal with these people feels like a bit too much.

As Yichen and his group of nine approached, the two sides quickly clashed. At the forefront of Yichen's group were Sokai and Izumi Uchiha.

Neither of them held back, immediately unleashing their Susanoo.

Moreover, it is the fifth form of the Perfect Susanoo.

Two fully-formed giants, clad in armor and wielding weapons, leaped directly from the sky towards Turtle Island.

Upon seeing this, among the crowd below, Kinkaku Ginkaku roared first, and the two of them instantly Partial Tailed Beast Transformation and pounced forward.

It was obvious that the two of them overestimated their strength. In front of the Perfect Susanoo of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, even in their Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, they were just two little guys.

Before they even exchanged blows, Sokai said to Izumi Uchiha, "I'll handle these two."

As he spoke, he swung his weapon and smashed it directly at the two men.

Sokai did not use the Totsuka Blade; instead, he chose the weapon that Perfect Susanoo: two long swords.

The menacing Kinkaku and Ginkaku collided directly with Sokai's Perfect Susanoo and were slammed into the sea.

Sokai, who was controlling his Susanoo, also jumped down.

Even with Kinkaku and Ginkaku attacking together, they Susanoo.

The previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the previous Second Jinchuriki exchanged a glance, then simultaneously Partial Tailed Beast Transformation and charged towards the other one.

Similarly, the two were quickly blasted into the sea by Izumi Uchiha.

The First Raikage said, "This is definitely not an ordinary Mangekyo Uchiha. Madara Uchiha's Susanoo back then looked like this."

Killer B hearing this; this was something he hadn't expected.

Following closely behind Sokai and Izumi Uchiha was Han, who directly Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, the Six-Tails Kokuō, and charged directly at Killer B.

However, before Killer B could even make a move, the Second Raikage launched a wide-range Lightning Release attack on Han.

Han didn't mind and obediently went to the side with the Second Raikage.

Han knew he wasn't part of the main force in today's Iwa ninja group; he just needed to hold off one of them.

At that moment, Ōnoki unleashed a Dust Release directly at the Third Raikage, but it was neutralized by the First Raikage's Lightning Release.

Ōnoki snorted. He had originally intended to entangle the opponent's strongest, the Third Raikage, to buy time for the others to seal him quickly.

However, since the First Raikage, whose abilities are unknown, wants to fight him, it doesn't matter.

Having extensive combat experience is the safest approach when dealing with enemies whose abilities are unknown.

At this moment, Neji also unleashed his strongest battle form. His body was enveloped in Chakra Cloak as he swooped down from the sky. While still in mid-air, he Hand Seals and unleashed a Rock Golem.

Seeing the massive body of the Rock Golem, Killer B gritted his teeth and charged forward.

Neji's displayed strength surprised him, Killer B felt a tremendous threat from that giant.

However, there was no other way; if Yichen didn't move, then their strongest fighter, the Third Raikage, couldn't move either.

The next moment, the Rock Golem and the fully-formed Eight-Tails were locked in combat.

Neji wanted to use the Rock Golem to hold off Killer B, so he could deal with Jiraiya or the Third Raikage himself.

But at that moment, Killer B suddenly separated from the Eight-Tails, wielding a long sword and charging straight at Neji!

Neji was stunned. Jinchuriki could fight like this?

But he didn't panic and went to meet them without the slightest hesitation.

Looking down at Jiraiya and the Third Raikage, Yichen said to Bai, "I've lured the Third Raikage away; Jiraiya!"

Bai nodded.

Yichen didn't dare let Bai go down first; if he did, Bai might be instantly killed by the Third Raikage.

Those who just rushed out were not normal ninjas; they either possessed special Dōjutsu, were Jinchuriki, or could fly. Haku didn't have any of those attributes, and the Third Raikage could probably take him down with a single charge.

Yichen casually tossed a Light Release at the Third Raikage, and then the two of them moved to the side in perfect unison.

Finally, Jiraiya with no other choice, clashed in battle.

Only Natsuki and Shion remained in the air.

The two exchanged a glance and began to observe the battle in various locations, searching for an opportunity to strike.

The fighter jets arrived faster than expected, and quite unexpectedly.

The first person to destroy the Reanimated Body was actually Sokai.

Sokai, Kinkaku and Ginkaku were the first to engage in battle. The three of them, one in Susanoo and two in Partial Tailed Beast Transformation forms, fought directly in the sea.

After all, neither Kinkaku Ginkaku in their Partial Tailed Beast Transformation nor Hayate in his Gundam Sokai could stand on the sea.

And Turtle Island isn't enough for them to cause trouble.

As a result, most of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku's bodies were submerged in seawater, making movement very inconvenient.

Sokai the opportunity and unleash a flurry of attacks on Ginkaku.

Faced with Sokai's attack, Ginkaku was unable to move easily in the seawater, was completely stunned.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku are quite strong among regular ninjas, and their Six Paths Tools can have a surprising effect when used without the enemy's knowledge.

However, against Susanoo, the Six Paths Tools are a joke; only the Amber Purifying Pot is somewhat useful.

However, Yichen had already informed everyone of the characteristics of this thing, so as long as Sokai remained silent forever, the Six Paths Tools would be a joke to him.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku were already used to fighting with the Six Paths Tools, so their combat power was greatly reduced when they encountered enemies who were completely unafraid of the Six Paths Tools.

As for their Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, their performance was far inferior to that of Jinchuriki.

Jinchuriki practice how to use the power of the Tailed Beast without losing their sanity, but Kinkaku and Ginkaku don't understand this.

Once the two of them entered their Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, their battle intelligence completely disappeared.

While not entirely devoid of self-awareness, being irritable, easily angered, and impulsive are undeniable facts.

The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Cloak provides good defense, and the immortality granted by the Impure World Reincarnation is also excellent, but Sokai wasn't aiming to kill him.

Taking advantage of Ginkaku's Sokai cast Genjutsu on him.

If Ginkaku had possessed reason at this moment, this Genjutsu might not have been able to harm him, since his entire body was enveloped in Tailed Beast Chakra.

All you need to do is control the Tailed Beast Chakra to disrupt the flow of Chakra within your own body, and you can easily break the Genjutsu.

However, Ginkaku, in his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, was in a berserk state and didn't even realize he was under Genjutsu.

He only possesses the Nine-Tails Chakra, not the actual Nine-Tails, and therefore will not actively help him break the Genjutsu.

Therefore, after being affected by the Genjutsu, Ginkaku was unable to break free for a while.

Seeing this, Kinkaku, who was attacking Sokai nearby, immediately rushed towards his younger brother, intending to use his Chakra to save Ginkaku.

But before he could pounce on Ginkaku charged at him in an attack stance.

Boom! The two collided immediately.

With this collision, Ginkaku did break free from the Genjutsu, but it also gave Sokai the opportunity for a decisive blow.

The Susanoo Sokai its transformation quickly switched weapons, changing from its Susanoo weapon to the Totsuka Blade.

Sokai pierced through Ginkaku with a single sword strike. Then Ginkaku was sucked away by the gourd formed by the Totsuka Blade.

With a roar, Kinkaku charged straight at Sokai, but he was forced back by Sokai's Totsuka Blade after only getting halfway there.

With this advance and retreat, Kinkaku's attack rhythm was completely disrupted.

The next moment, Sokai's other longsword suddenly struck him.

Roar~

With another roar, the Tailed Beast Cloak on Kinkaku's body quickly disappeared, leaving only a body cut in two.

This is where the effect of the Impure World Reincarnation— the ability to be reborn as an immortal and indestructible being—becomes apparent.

As soon as the lower half of the Kinkaku separated from its body, it turned into pieces of paper. These pieces of paper then quickly flew up to its upper body, and it looked like it was about to be restored.

Just then, Shion spotted the fighter jets in the air.

She quickly cast the Miko Seal, and beams of purplish-red light shot towards Kinkaku, rapidly binding the immobilized Kinkaku.

By the time Kinkaku recovered, he was completely unable to move.

Seeing this, Sokai curled his lip and directly grabbed Kinkaku into Susanoo's hand.

Then Sokai looked towards the other battlefields.

He was the first to resolve the battle; in some other battlefields, the fighting hadn't even officially begun.

For example, Jiraiya and Neji, Ōnoki and the First Raikage, are still testing each other.

As for the others who had already started fighting, Sokai felt that they didn't need his help.

On Yichen's and the Third Raikage's side, there was no prior probing between the two sides.

Yichen knew the Third Raikage's information: the Strongest Shield plus the Strongest Spear!

Even the Strongest Shield will be defeated if hit by Kekkei Tōta Break.

The so-called Strongest Spear couldn't even hit Yichen, who was in mid-air.

Yichen first spent some time setting up a large amount of Porcelain Mud around the battlefield.

Then, he controlled the Porcelain Mud to form walls of rock to limit the Third Raikage's speed.

Yichen's Porcelain Release was enhanced by Senjutsu, making it much more difficult for the Third Raikage to Wind Release: Breakthrough compared to attempting a normal Earth Release.

After being breached, these stone walls can quickly recover.

Therefore, when the Third Raikage faced Yichen's Porcelain Release alone, he felt even more uncomfortable than when he faced countless Mist ninja!

These rock walls of Yichen are movable; under Yichen's control, they can quickly move to locations with weak defenses.

Initially, whenever the Third Raikage showed signs of Wind Release: Breakthrough the encirclement, Yichen in the air would use Earth Release to check for any gaps.

Later, once the Porcelain Mud had reached a certain scale, completely eliminating any possibility of the Third Raikage escaping, Yichen was able to free up his hands to launch an attack.

Then comes a wide-area, all-encompassing attack using Light Release.

Although Yichen's side started fighting relatively late, they finished the battle second only to Sokai.

With his speed restricted, the Third Raikage was utterly powerless against the Light Release.

Boom! The Third Raikage had dodged countless attacks, but he was ultimately grazed by a B-rank Light Release, and instantly, one of his arms disappeared.

And this was just the beginning; after the first strike, the second and third strikes came even faster.

Finally, with a loud bang.

The Third Raikage was hit head-on, and most of his body was disintegrated by the Light Release.

Then, the Third Raikage, who had not yet fully recovered, was submerged in a massive amount of Porcelain Mud.

The surface of the Porcelain Mud was covered with densely packed Sealing Runes.

Yichen also curled his lip; with these skills, he could only fool Naruto, who only knew how to Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Since mastering Porcelain Release, Yichen has stopped taking speed-type ninjas seriously.

We can wear you down, even if it takes a long time.

After defeating the Third Raikage, Yichen did not join any other battle groups.

He glanced around and, feeling that he didn't need to intervene in any of the battlefields, said to Sokai, "Come, communicate with the Giant Sharingan, extract the Third Raikage's soul, and seal it into this Shinigami Mask."

Sokai's eyes lit up; this was a good way to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation.

He immediately deactivated Susanoo, connected with the Giant Sharingan, and used its soul-related abilities.

He first extracted the Grim Death God from the Shinigami Mask, and then extracted the soul of the Third Raikage, which had been Yichen.

As the Third Raikage's soul left his body, the area around his body immediately turned into a pile of paper scraps. As the paper scraps scattered, the person who had served as a sacrifice was quickly revealed inside.

Yichen didn't recognize the man and simply tossed him into the sea without paying him any attention.

Seeing this, Sokai controlled the Third Raikage's soul and sealed it into the Death God.
