"That's the Second Hokage's technique..."
The Third Raikage stared at Minato Namikaze's face.
From that cracked visage, he identified Minato Namikaze's condition.
The Third Raikage had never witnessed Impure World Reincarnation firsthand.
But through Konoha's intelligence,
he knew about Orochimaru's affairs.
Orochimaru had used this technique before, so the Third Raikage knew a little about it.

Blinding light erupted from the ground.
It created a sun in the night.
Fortunately, Kumogakure was surrounded by mountains.
Throwing the Tailed Beast Ball into a valley minimized the blast radius and damage as much as possible.
Then...
Sephiroth closed in.
His slash transformed into a flash and cleaved toward
