Impure World War I
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
With a loud shout, dozens of Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken, each about a meter in diameter and spinning at high speed, were hurled at the Iwa ninja 'Naruto grasp.
While remotely controlling the Reanimated Body in Iwagakure, Natsuki cursed, "Here we go again! How come there are so many Shadow Clones?"
"And each Shadow Clone has this much Chakra, enough to use this S-rank Wind Release!"
"Is this even human?! This Naruto Uzumaki is practically Sage; he should be left to his brothers to deal with."
Kawakita was standing at the door acting as a guard, smiled.
Sakura and Yakumo Kurama, who were also controlling Reanimated Body, felt better because their mentor was Uzumaki Riori Uzumaki Riori, who usually fought like this.
Influenced by Uzumaki Riori, even Karin sometimes employs this tactic.
Beside the three people was a small table with a chessboard on it, and many black and white chess pieces on it.
The white pieces bear the names of the 28 Reanimated Body Impure World Iwa ninja, while the black pieces bear the names of the Konoha -Kage Level and Elite Jonin from the Mist ninja (Allied Shinobi Forces).
Among them, Naruto Uzumaki has a particularly large number of chess pieces with his name on them due to his special circumstances.
The ones controlling the arrangement of these pieces on the battlefield are not Sakura and her two companions, but rather Aono Shinichi, Minamoto Shizuka, and Rion.
Actually, the best people to control the Reanimated Body were Aono Shinichi two companions, whose tactical Natsuki and his two companions.
However, none of the three had the ability to remotely control the Impure World Reincarnation.
Only Kage Level ninjas at the third stage of Yin Release, such as Natsuki, Sakura, and Yakumo Kurama, could do this.
Therefore, the task of Aono Shinichi and his two companions was to offer advice and strategies to Natsuki others.
However, so far, none of the three have offered a single suggestion.
Criticism is one thing, but we still need to take precautions.
On the Land of Water's side, they faced a large number of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken possessed immense destructive power.
On the Iwa ninja side, three burly men rushed forward immediately: the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage A, and the Fifth Raikage Darui.
All three had mastered Lightning Armor, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities, so they each used their bodies to block an attack.
Besides the three Raikage, a barrier of golden sand and a barrier of iron sand quickly formed in front of the remaining Rasenshuriken.
Through the gaps in the barrier, swift Ninjutsu attacks rapidly targeted the Rasenshuriken.
Boom, boom, boom...
Most of the Rasenshuriken were destroyed before they even got close, while a few crashed into the two layers of sand shields.
After a loud bang, golden and iron sand flew everywhere. The Iwa ninja Reanimated Body, which were protected by the sand, were also injured quite a bit, but before the Allied Forces could seize the opportunity to launch an attack, these minor injuries had already healed.
However, of the three people who used their bodies to block the Rasenshuriken, the Fourth Raikage and the Fifth Raikage could not withstand it.
Both of their bodies suffered extensive damage.
Seeing this, the allied forces thought they had finally caught them and launched an attack.
Ninjutsu Ninja unleash a variety of Ninjutsu, including Water Release, Fire Release, and Wind Release, with Mei Terumi's Dual Bloodline Limit used in turn.
The Jinchuriki swung their Tailed Beast Chakra tentacles, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the two temporarily immobilized Reanimated Body.
Even Sasuke, who was engaged in a massive battle with Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, risked taking attacks from three Susanoo and fired an arrow at the two Raikage.
Just as they were about to achieve victory, a barrier of golden sand suddenly blocked their attacks.
Boom~
The golden sand barrier didn't hold for long and was quickly broken down.
However, this delay allowed reinforcements from the Iwa ninja Ninjutsu Ninja to arrive.
The Iwa ninja's attacks were more elaborate, using Dust Release, Scorch Release, and Bloodline Limits, with Earth Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release as primary techniques, and Fire Release and Water Release as secondary techniques, encompassing Five-Attribute.
The Iwagakure Reanimated Body on the Iwa ninja side came from various ninja villages, possessing all Five-Attribute. Under Sakura's and her two companions' control, they even performed Combination Ninjutsu.
Killer B, Yugito, the Former Five-Tails Jinchuriki, the Former Four-Tails Jinchuriki, the first Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the first Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yuki Koru, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku.
There are nine Jinchuriki on the Iwa ninja side. They reacted quickly; three of them were entangled, while the remaining six managed to rush to the aid of the two Raikage.
After a burst of smoke from an explosion, the two Raikage emerged from the smoke, their Lightning Armor propelling them towards the allied forces.
In the end, the Iwa ninja managed to defend against it, buying the two time to recover. After recovering, the two used Lightning Armor again to withstand the aftershocks of the explosion.
Kakashi also made his move, but his Lightning Release Ninjutsu was successfully blocked by the Iwa ninja.
However, he wasn't concerned about that right now. Instead, he looked at a figure next to Reanimated Body Ryosuke: the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.
The golden sand that bought time for the six Jinchuriki was cast by Rasa.
However, this Rasa is not the same Rasa who blocked Naruto's attack before.
That one was Reanimated Body, but this one is Human Puppet.
This Human Puppet has been mining for the Iwa ninja for the past few years, working around the clock and bringing them a lot of wealth.
If this weren't the final battle, Yichen wouldn't have been willing to release this Human Puppet.
When Rasa was alive, he was alone, but after his death, two people appeared whose strength was no less than his own.
Both his Reanimated Body and the Human Puppet demonstrated his power very well.
Fortunately Rasa was unconscious; otherwise, seeing two versions of himself fighting would have left one wondering what he would have thought.
As the allied forces' attack ended, the Iwa ninja were also busy.
Sasuke's momentary distraction gave the three Uchiha were fighting him an opportunity.
Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha directly controlled their Susanoo and pounced forward, while Itachi Uchiha used his Mangekyō Sharingan towards the Mist ninja.
The object that Itachi Uchiha focused his gaze on was the First Mizukage in Reanimated Body form.
The next moment, black flames ignited on the body of the First Mizukage.
Seeing this, Mito Uzumaki and Karatachi Yagura immediately stepped in to help.
Their target was not Itachi Uchiha, nor did they attempt to extinguish the flames on the First Mizukage.
Their Tailed Beast tentacles were aimed at Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha.
With the interference of Mito Uzumaki and Karatachi Yagura, Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo quickly broke free from the attacks of the two Susanoo only in their second stage.
He turned and looked at the First Mizukage with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
The next moment, the Amaterasu flames, which could burn anything, were extinguished.
This scene has happened many times in previous battles.
Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha used Amaterasu to attack members of the opposing team multiple times.
The two of them could extinguish each other's Amaterasu flames, so Amaterasu, who could burn anything, never achieved anything.
In the clash with Amaterasu, the Iwa ninja had the advantage because they were all Reanimated Body and were not afraid of being burned.
On the allied forces' side, there are quite a few survivors. Once they are touched by Amaterasu's flames, even if Sasuke extinguishes the fire in time, they will eventually lose their fighting ability.
The flames on the First Mizukage were extinguished, but it will take time for them to recover.
So after interfering with Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, Mito Uzumaki and Karatachi Yagura stayed by his side, one on his left and one on his right, acting as his bodyguards.
However, the true target of the Iwa ninja was not the First Mizukage, but Hozuki Mangetsu.
Ai and Darui's target just now was Hozuki Mangetsu.
Joining them in their impulsive act was the Third Raikage, who had withstood a Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken without sustaining any injury.
Furthermore, Hanzo, who hadn't made a move until now, quietly approached Hozuki Mangetsu.
Hozuki Mangetsu's face darkened. He was being targeted. His Water Release Technique was exactly what the Raikage countered, and the three extremely fast Raikage were perfect for dealing with him.
Even in a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't be a match for a single Raikage, let alone three.
Fortunately, he wasn't without help.
As a close-combat ninja, White Fang quickly engaged the Third Raikage.
Danzo his hands together and unleashed a wide-range Wood Release technique, blocking the attack paths of the three Raikage and Hanzo.
"Water Release: Water Style: Raging Waves." Kisame also made his move at the opportune moment.
Kisame's Water Release technique was as spectacular as ever; not only were the three Raikage, but the entire battlefield was instantly Water Release by it.
Although the three Raikage were fast, the forest of trees immediately reduced their speed advantage significantly.
By the time they burst out of the forest, Kisame had already completed his Water Release.
When they reached Hozuki Mangetsu despite the resistance of the water, Hozuki Mangetsu had already used his Water Release Technique.
Hozuki Mangetsu, who used Water Release Technique amidst a large volume of water, is virtually unkillable.
After Hozuki Mangetsu broke free from the attack, the allied forces immediately launched a counterattack against the four who had rashly infiltrated their own territory.
As usual, Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clones Jutsu were at the forefront, using their bodies as a barrier to continuously slow down the group.
Several Reanimated Body Mizukage and Mist ninja Jinchuriki of Kirigakure immediately used the water generated by Kisame's Water Style: Raging Waves to perform Water Release.
In an instant, the situation for the four of them became extremely precarious.
Hanzo and Darui were even injured.
Fortunately, reinforcements from the Iwa ninja arrived at that moment.
The fastest to act this time was Senju Tobirama; the battle environment Kisame created was just to his liking.
He Hand Seals incredibly fast; often, a single seal was enough to unleash a high-level Water Release.
Besides Senju Tobirama, numerous Jinchuriki and Ninjutsu Ninja from the Iwa ninja side also began attacking the Allied Forces.
The Iwa ninja Jinchuriki employed a strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," directly attacking the allied ninjas to relieve the pressure on the three Raikage and Hanzo.
However, the rescue attempt by the Iwa ninja did not achieve the desired results.
Iwa ninja Senju's Water Release, Senju Tobirama had placed the greatest hopes on, were all blocked by Kisame.
In Iwagakure, after hearing Sakura recount this scene, Minamoto Shizuka remarked, "I never imagined the Mizukage would become even stronger after losing Samehada."
Aono Shinichi nodded and analyzed, "He must have completely changed his fighting style; he wants to push the single Water Release to its extreme."
"I just don't know if this is his limit!"
Just as Aono Shinichi and the other person said, Kisame did not give up on himself after losing Samehada.
Someone like Kisame would never give up under any circumstances; he wasn't foolish enough to develop the unpromising Wood Release.
He focused on practicing Water Release and directly mastered Water Release to the highest level that Kage Level could achieve!
The Water Release of Senju Tobirama was blocked, which was unexpected by the Iwa ninja. Their strategy of attacking Wei to relieve the siege of Zhao did not take effect so quickly.
As a result, the four men who had infiltrated deep into enemy territory were immediately placed in a completely passive position.
The opportunity was rare, and Kakashi and Minato Namikaze, who had been the Allied Forces' Trump Cards, made their move.
Each of them identified someone and quickly approached the other.
Kakashi's target is Hanzo, Hanzo slow and easy to deal with.
Kakashi first used Raikage Chidori to pierce through Hanzo's already injured body, and then immediately began the sealing technique.
On the other hand, Minato Namikaze's target is A, and he is well aware Minato Namikaze his old rival's abilities.
He went up and unleashed a Super Great Ball Rasengan.
Ai was attacked, and her recovering body collapsed again.
Minato Namikaze a Flying Thunder God to dodge the attack from the Third Raikage, the only one of the four who was unharmed.
After the Third Raikage vanished in a flash, Minato Namikaze reappeared in front of A.
It turns out that with that attack, he had already placed the Flying Thunder God Mark on Ai.
The Third Raikage, who had just missed his attack, was once again entangled by the arriving White Fang.
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to unleash Sealing Jutsu as he approached A again, Kakashi shouted, "Minato-sensei, watch out!"
Without hesitation, Minato Namikaze once again vanished from his spot.
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of explosions occurred on A after Minato Namikaze left.
Hanzo exploded at the same time as Ai.
Kakashi had also used the Flying Thunder God Minato Namikaze. He said softly, "It's the Mutual Distraction Explosion Tag Technique."
Minato Namikaze nodded.
Just now, Ai used one of his intact hands to perform Hand Seals and cast the Mutual Distraction Explosion Tag Technique, which Ai did not notice immediately because he does not have the Sharingan.
Of course, even without Kakashi's reminder, Minato Namikaze was confident he could escape the moment the Exploding Tag detonated.
Kakashi and Minato Namikaze stood together, waiting for the explosion of the Mutual Distraction Explosion Tag to end.
Although they hadn't managed to seal the target, the two weren't in a hurry. The explosion of the Mutual Distraction Explosion Tag was indiscriminate, and A and Hanzo would only suffer more injuries than before.
While waiting, the two didn't sit idle. They quickly used Ninjutsu to help White Fang block the Third Raikage and Darui who were trying to approach the two explosions.
On the other side, a huge blue Chakra hemisphere suddenly appeared, blocking the numerous Ninjutsu attacks launched by the Iwa ninja in a diversionary tactic.
This is Hinata. Hinata's Dōjutsu, Spatial Binding, is best suited for dealing with ninjas using Space-Time Ninjutsu.
So while she was fighting, she focused most of her attention on Obito Uchiha.
Seeing that their side was unprepared for the massive attack from the Iwa ninja, they used the Rotation to block it.
Because of Hinata's display of power, the allied forces, who had originally planned to defend, immediately changed their tactics and turned their attention to the four people in the encirclement.
Once the Rotation event was over, the explosions from the two Mutual Distraction Explosion Tag also stopped.
Kakashi and Minato Namikaze simultaneously used the Flying Thunder God Technique to approach Hanzo and A.
Then, before the other could recover, the two quickly performed a sealing.
After the sealing was completed, Kakashi took the two Reanimated Body and the Flying Thunder God and disappeared.
Kakashi moved very quickly, completing the back and forth movement almost in the blink of an eye.
Just as Kakashi returned, Iwa ninja Senju, who was practicing Water Release with Kisame, disappeared from the Senju Tobirama.
Kakashi didn't notice this scene, and Minato Namikaze was immediately targeted by the Third Raikage after sealing A.
He was searching for the Third Raikage's weakness.
Kakashi and Minato Namikaze were unaware that Senju Tobirama had gone directly to the place where A and Hanzo were being held, and he quickly released the seals on the two of them.
Then he took out two special Talisman Paper and slapped them on Ai and Hanzo.
The next moment, the Flying Thunder God Mark left on the two by Kakashi and Minato Namikaze disappeared.
At that moment, Senju Tobirama teleported the two of them back to the battlefield.
At this moment, thanks to Hinata's reminder, Kakashi and Minato Namikaze realized that Senju Tobirama had been rescued by the two they had painstakingly sealed away.
Minato Namikaze shook off the Third Raikage, sensed something, then frowned and said, "The Flying Thunder God Mark has disappeared."
Kakashi also looked at the two people opposite him and sensed them. Sure enough, the Flying Thunder God Mark he had left on Hanzo was gone.
Kakashi asked, "Minato-sensei, do you know any way to remove the Flying Thunder God Mark?"
Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, "No. Theoretically, once the Flying Thunder God Mark is applied, it cannot be removed."
In Iwagakure, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "That was close! Luckily, we had Akino's Talisman Paper. Otherwise, even if the Second Hokage had managed to rescue them, the subsequent battle would have been much more difficult."
That's right, the Talisman Paper wasn't Senju Tobirama's work, but rather Atsumi Akino's creation.
Atsumi Akino's research on the Space-Time Ninja Village wasn't focused on practical combat, but rather on all sorts of strange and unusual research.
Kakashi possesses the Flying Thunder God; once he marks an important Iwa ninja, that person is practically doomed.
Therefore, at Yichen's request, Atsumi Akino created this Talisman Paper that could remove the Flying Thunder God Mark.
However, not everyone can use these Talisman Paper; the user must also know Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Perfect, Senju Tobirama is capable of it, so the Iwa ninja entrusted this important task to Senju Tobirama.
Kakashi's heart sank after hearing Minato Namikaze's words. This was bad. The Iwa ninja had a way to remove the Flying Thunder God Mark, but they didn't.
That will make the upcoming battle difficult.
The situation is now quite clear: Senju Tobirama has placed the Flying Thunder God Mark on everyone, so even if the Allied Forces work hard to seal them away, the enemy can rescue them immediately!
In this way, the Iwa ninja's Edo Reanimated Body is truly invincible.
Kakashi said, "It seems we have to deal with the Second Lord first."
Minato Namikaze nodded; he couldn't think of a good solution either.
But now is not the time for the two to think about how to deal with Senju Tobirama.
Having just experienced danger, Aono Shinichi of Iwagakure signaled to Natsuki, Sakura, and Yakumo Kurama they could proceed with the all-out attack as planned.
Sakura and her two companions exchanged a glance, and then, including the Third Raikage and Darui, who were still surrounded by the Allied Forces, a total of fifteen Reanimated Body recklessly rushed towards the nearest enemy.
During their assault, they all formed the same mark.
Upon seeing the seal, Kakashi was alarmed and shouted, "Watch out! They're about to use the Mutual Distraction Explosion Tag Technique!"
That's right, the Iwa ninja's ultimate move is a mutual destruction attack!
Compared to the Allied Forces, which had nearly half of their members still alive, the Iwa ninja were all Reanimated Body, employing a suicidal fighting style, giving the Iwa ninja the advantage.
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, the Allied Forces immediately deployed their defenses.
Sasuke also abandoned his opponent and quickly retreated.
Boom boom boom boom...
After a violent explosion, the remaining Iwa ninja rushed towards the Allied Forces' Reanimated Body that had been injured by the explosion.
The living members of the coalition forces were given special protection, and no one was injured.
However, the Reanimated Body sustained considerable injuries.
Body Flicker Shisui, Hanzo, and A quickly rushed to their respective targets.
Minato Namikaze reacted even faster, appearing beside Hanzo's target in a flash and taking him away right before Hanzo's eyes.
Although Minato Namikaze was fast, he only had one chance to make a successful move.
When he used the same trick to approach the First Mizukage, Ai had already arrived.
Whether A arrives or not is irrelevant, but Senju Tobirama, who left the Flying Thunder God mark on A, does arrive.
Senju Tobirama appeared almost simultaneously with Minato Namikaze, and he slapped the First Mizukage with his left hand.
With a flash Talisman Paper light, the Flying Thunder God Mark left by Minato Namikaze disappeared.
Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze was dealing with a quick punch from A.
As he dodged A's attack and reached out to the still-recovering First Mizukage, the First Mizukage had already been taken away by Senju Tobirama.
Minato Namikaze abandoned A and used Flying Thunder God to return to Kakashi's side.
At that moment, Kakashi had just rescued the Third Mizukage, who had been targeted by Shisui Uchiha.
The Iwa ninja, having landed a successful blow, did not stop. Seeing his original target disappear, Shisui Uchiha immediately turned his head to look at Ao Three-Tails Jinchuriki, who was not far away.
Ao was protected by the Tailed Beast Chakra and was not injured.
However, the massive explosion also made him somewhat breathless.
Still not quite used to Kage Level combat, he panicked when he saw the First Mizukage being captured.
Then he met Shisui Uchiha's eyes.
"Oh no, it's Genjutsu!" Ao's reaction was incredibly fast; the moment he saw the Mangekyō Sharingan, he closed his eyes.
At the same time, he immediately connected with the Three-Tails within his body, hoping to use the Three-Tails 'Chakra to break free from the Genjutsu.
However, the Three-Tails, which had been very easy to use before, suddenly became unruly.
It turned out that at the same time Shisui Uchiha made his move, another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan also turned their attention to Ao.
That person's target was the Three-Tails inside Qing's body.
Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha worked together to almost simultaneously trap Ao Jinchuriki, and the Three-Tails within him in Genjutsu.
Now, it's impossible for him to break the Genjutsu on his own.
This scene naturally caught the attention of others, and Minato Namikaze and Kakashi immediately rushed to provide reinforcements.
However, the Third Raikage and Darui suddenly rushed towards their location.
The two of them weren't afraid of the two brutes, but they also had two Reanimated Body recovering by their side, so they couldn't leave.
They believed that as soon as they left, Senju Tobirama would approach again, and then the Reanimated Body behind them would be in danger.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two quickly made a decision. Kakashi quickly moved with the two Reanimated Body, while Minato Namikaze used Flying Thunder God to arrive at Ao's side.
