Every tailed beast but the Nine-Tails was gone

Shazo smiled and looked at the Fourth Hokage beside him, asking, "Waiting two more years to revive shouldn't be a rush, right?"

Minato Namikaze laughed loudly, "How could that be?"

"When I used [Reaper Death Seal], I was prepared to suffer forever inside the Death God's belly. To be able to be free now is already an immense joy."

"The fact that there's still hope for resurrection is truly an unexpected and delightful surprise. There's no reason to be in a hurry!"

"However, is it really true that I won't be needed for the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

Shazo replied, "Oh, yes, it's still necessary. I didn't explain clearly earlier."

"Fourth Shinobi World War, the Hokage's assistance using the Impure World Reincarnation technique was sufficient to meet the required combat strength."

"However, the level of future wars will continue to rise. You must be resurrected, break through the shackles of Kage-level Ninja, and advance to the level of the Sage of Six Paths before you can truly be of help."

Minato Namikaze's smile vanished. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Does it require the power of the Sage of Six Paths to be of any help?"

"Who will we fight in the future wars?"

Shazo shook his head and said, "I know information about the future enemy, but describing it in words is too pale. Even if you understand what I'm saying, you still won't be able to comprehend it."

Minato Namikaze stroked his chin. "I understand what you mean, Fifth. There is no true empathy in the world, nothing is beyond our current common sense. Words cannot accurately convey the true information."

Shazo was overjoyed. "As expected of the Fourth Generation, his comprehension ability is truly amazing."

Minato Namikaze laughed, "Thank you for the compliment. I'll wait and see. Once that kind of enemy appears, I'll naturally understand what's going on."

Shazo and Minato exchanged a smile.

After their laughter subsided, Shazo asked again, "Shall we go see Naruto?"

Minato Namikaze and said, "If even your master won't go see him, then I, a dead man, might as well give up on him too."

Minato's eyes were filled with longing, but he forcibly suppressed it. "Although the Konoha Ninja all know I've appeared, they're all careful to avoid speaking to Chiyo, so why should I leak information to Sunagakure?"

Shazo shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Sunagakure finding out. Although I transferred life force to Chiyo through Naruto and Tenten just now, life force isn't a number, it's a flame. A pile of ashes can't be reignited no matter how high the temperature is."

"Chiyo's forbidden technique is very powerful, absolutely the pinnacle of Medical Ninjutsu, but it is ultimately a forbidden technique that can kill people."

"Chiyo was already quite old, and she's only staying alive thanks to the life force I've channeled into her. She won't make it back to Sunagakure alive."

"As for the Fifth Kazekage who has just been resurrected, he will sleep until he wakes up in Sunagakure."

As a dead person Impure World Reincarnation, Minato Namikaze's eyes had no whites, but they still emitted light at this moment.

He asked excitedly, "Does the Fifth mean it's okay for me to see Naruto?"

Shazo nodded and said, "Yes, once the Akatsuki are either dead or have escaped, it's no longer a problem."

Minato Namikaze cheered, "Great! Thank you so much, Fifth! I'm off now!"

Before he could finish speaking, Minato, overwhelmed with love for his son, transformed into a streak of light and vanished from Shazo's sight.

This isn't the Flying Thunder God Technique, nor is it the Body Flicker Technique; it's simply about being incredibly fast. No wonder he's known throughout the Ninja World as the "Yellow Flash."

Shazo shook his head, Hand Seals to sense the Sky Walk beacon, and used the [Flying Thunder God Technique] to disappear from the spot.

The sudden appearance of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, instantly caused an uproar among the Konoha Ninja.

They had all heard Naruto Uzumaki say that the Fourth Hokage had arrived, but because it was so unbelievable and they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they remained skeptical.

But now that they've seen it all with their own eyes, they naturally believe it more than ever.

Jiraiya rushed over and hugged his disciple, wailing, "I'm sorry, Minato! It's all my fault!"

"When you needed a teacher, I wasn't in Konoha, causing your tragic deaths, ahhhhhh----"

"Waaaaah... It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Naruto afterwards, and he suffered for so many years. Waaaaah, I'm a bad teacher..."

To be honest, Jiraiya Minato Namikaze was.

So even when he died, Minato didn't think there was anything wrong with him because his teacher hadn't returned; he was already used to facing danger alone.

But after his death, Jiraiya didn't return to Konoha for ten years, didn't even look at Naruto, and let the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō abuse his son. Minato was very angry.

Even if you're a terrible teacher, there should be a limit. Can't you even come back to visit once a year? Can't you even visit once every three years?

That's ten years!

But Minato Namikaze hugged Jiraiya and tearfully apologized, his resentment dissipated.

Jiraiya was, after all, his teacher, and he was indeed an incredibly careless person; aside from running around trying to fulfill the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, he had nothing else on his mind.

Since Minato Namikaze never expected Jiraiya from the beginning, his resentment wasn't very deep.

But the other person was different.

For ten years, Kakashi Hatake never left the village and often saw Naruto, but in the end, he never stepped forward to take care of Naruto.

Don't say Kakashi didn't know Naruto was his teacher's child.

When Kushina Uzumaki was pregnant, Kakashi often went to Minato's house for meals and watched Kushina belly grow bigger and bigger.

He knew that Minato had chosen "Naruto," the name of Jiraiya's novel protagonist, as the name of his son, and he also knew that his teacher's wife's full name was Kushina Uzumaki.

If you hear the name Naruto Uzumaki and can't guess that he's your teacher's child, then you're not Kakashi Hatake, but Might Duy.

So, Minato Namikaze greeted all the Konoha Ninja, gave his son a big hug, congratulated Neji Hyuga breaking free from the "Caged Bird Seal" shackles, and even hugged Uchiha Sasuke and patted Sakura Haruno's head.

Minato didn't greet Kakashi Hatake, and Kakashi consciously stayed at the edge of the crowd, not joining them.

Kakashi Hatake sighed deeply. He himself couldn't forgive himself for the past ten years, so how could he expect his teacher to forgive him?

We should wait a while longer, until the teacher calms down, before discussing it further.

The appearance of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, brought jubilation to the Konoha Ninja, but for Chiyo Sunagakure Ninja, it was a terrible change.

She was a veteran Sunagakure Ninja had held power in the village for over 40 years. She had witnessed the dark side of human nature and had become accustomed to thinking about problems from such a gloomy perspective.

Upon seeing the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Chiyo immediately thought of the Fifth Hokage Shazo.

If she, as a veteran of Sunagakure, could create a forbidden technique to revive people, then it's quite reasonable for the second Hokage after First Hokage Hashirama Senju, who dominated the Ninja World, to create a forbidden technique to revive the previous Acting Hokage.

If the Fourth Hokage could be resurrected, Second Hokage could certainly be resurrected as well, and even the First Hokage could be resurrected. Thinking of this, Chiyo's head throbbed with pain.

With the possibility of the Hokage's resurrection, the prosperity of Konoha will no longer be the responsibility of the Fifth Hokage's generation, but will continue Eternity.

At least in Chiyo's view, Konoha's hegemony will continue indefinitely. Can Sunagakure really hold on under the immense pressure of seeing no hope?

No, this information must be sent out; we can't let Konoha remain powerful forever.

But Chiyo knew she couldn't do it anymore. Having used the [Forbidden Technique: Reincarnation] twice, she was already dead and was now living entirely on the remaining life force of the Fifth Hokage.

No, it should be said that he was barely surviving, and he had no chance to return to Sunagakure.

Chiyo then pinned her hopes on Gaara Fifth Kazekage Gaara in her arms, but after a thorough examination, she was utterly disappointed.

Gaara's body has not fully recovered and is currently being treated with life force.

Moreover, the life force of the Fifth Hokage sealed Gaara's brain, preventing him from waking up until he was fully healed.

This would indeed achieve the best treatment results, but it would also cut off Chiyo's last hope of transmitting information.

As her life force drained away, Chiyo felt her head growing heavier and her vision darkening and narrowing. She knew she was going to die.

Chiyo sighed deeply, "Sigh, I'm about to die, what am I still thinking about for the village?"

"From now on, these things will be Gaara's troubles. This old woman is completely free—"

Chiyo's head drooped lower and lower until it finally rested completely on her chest, plunging her into Eternity darkness.

She died.

When Chiyo died, Gaara, Sasori's Regeneration Core, and the Human Puppet of Sasori's parents in her arms.

She held on tightly until her death, refusing to let go.

The Konoha Ninja were completely helpless against her; they couldn't very well break the old woman's arm, that would be too unsightly.

All they could do was pack Chiyo's body and everything she was holding onto a huge wooden plank, and carry it back to Sunagakure.

In the end, the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, chose to forgive Chiyo and buried her as the Superstar.

As for Sasori of the Red Sands missing-nin, he was burned to ashes along with the two Human Puppet and buried next to Chiyo's target, which was considered a pardon.

As for the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet, it was entrusted to Ebizo for repair.

Although this is very unfair to the Third Kazekage, the situation in Sunagakure is too dire right now, and we cannot afford to waste this fighting force.

A thin horse has a long mane, and a poor man has short -Fifth Kazekage doesn't care about saving face at all.

During the process of having One-Tail removed, he overheard the Akatsuki's action plan and results.

Gaara knew that the Akatsuki had already collected seven Tailed Beast and would soon be collecting the eighth, namely Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure.

After relaying the information to the Konoha Ninja, Naruto Uzumaki Satori, "No wonder the enemy who created the Nine-Tails Night attacked me; he was also a member of Akatsuki. They're trying to collect all the Tailed Beast in the shortest possible time."

Naruto asked, puzzled, "What exactly do they want to do?"

Gaara replied, "The Chakra that was extracted from me eventually gathered into the mouth of a giant monster."

"The monster was extremely tall, with nine eye sockets, six of which were glowing with different colors of light."

Gaara suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, I remember now, after the One-Tail was extracted, its seventh eye socket also glowed, and it was a wind-attribute blue light."

"That's right, the Akatsuki are telling the truth; they really did collect all seven Tailed Beast!"

Gaara immediately ordered, "Contact Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure as quickly as possible and ask them to confirm the situation of their respective Tailed Beast or Jinchuriki."

The Sunagakure Ninja immediately took action, sending messengers and Swift Hawk to the Iwagakure. As for the Kumogakure and the Kirigakure, they naturally used Communicator to have the Konoha, which was closer, send Ninja and Swift Hawk.

Konoha Ninja used their personal Communicator to communicate directly with the Konoha's foreign ministry, and within minutes, they dispatched Ninja and Swift Hawk, even faster than the Sunagakure, which had given the orders directly.

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, was stunned by what he saw. Without hesitation, he proposed purchasing several Communicator to strengthen communication with Konoha and the border of the Land of Wind.

A Sunagakure Ninja warned Gaara that using Konoha's communication tools could allow Konoha to eavesdrop, potentially causing Sunagakure's secrets to be leaked.

The Fifth Kazekage, however, was unconcerned. He said, "This is the fastest method of communication. When things get really urgent, it doesn't matter if Konoha is listening in."

"Besides, if there's information that truly needs to be kept absolutely secret, it's definitely better to send Ninja and spend time delivering it."

As Konoha and Sunagakure inquired with Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Takigakure, the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Mizukage learned what had happened in the Land of Wind.

Upon learning that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was unharmed and that the Nine-Tails had been saved, the Fourth Raikage immediately led the main force of the Cloud Ninja through the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water, attempting to enter the Land of Land of Fire.

The Raikage believed that both of the Kumogakure's Jinchuriki were in trouble, as was the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, and the situation in Iwagakure...

The Tailed Beast of Kirigakure and Takigakure will definitely not be saved either.

The most urgent task is to protect the Nine-Tails and prevent the Akatsuki from gathering Nine Tailed Beasts, thus avoiding unforeseen disasters.

According to the Fourth Raikage, "Although I really don't want to do this, there's truly no other way for Kumogakure to do it right now."

"We should all go to Konoha and stay with the Konoha Ninja; that's the only way we can ensure our safety."

As the Raikage predicted, both Utakata Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, and the Three-Tails have disappeared, as have the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure.

As for Takigakure, formerly known as the "Sixth Great Ninja Village," the situation is even worse.

When the Konoha Ninja brought the news arrived at Takigakure, they found no one to receive them.

When they finally found Takigakure, they discovered that the entire village was littered with the wreckage of buildings, dried blood, and shriveled corpses from the battle.

Clearly, Takigakure was besieged by the enemy, and all of the village's thousands of ninja and villagers were Carnage, leaving no survivors.
