Ch. 462Fierce Battle
Konoha attacked Kitagawa City, but its barrier and Chakra Cannons held off the assault until Akira discovered Sarutobi Hiruzen’s elite fighters were Impure World Soldiers. Akira sent the Uchiha’s Mangekyo awakeners and Flame Army into battle, while the revelation that Konoha had reanimated familiar dead left Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya furious.
- Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered Konoha’s forces to bombard Kitagawa City, but its barrier blocked their Ninjutsu and its Chakra Cannons returned fire.
- Homura Mitokado urged Sarutobi Hiruzen to break the barrier, so Sarutobi sent the Cleaver Squad to attack it with powerful techniques.
- Akira used Kotoamatsukami Takamimusubi and recognized that the Cleaver Squad and other elite fighters were likely ninja revived through Impure World Reincarnation.
- After a fighter opened a breach in the barrier, Uchiha Sanhara knocked him back with Susanoo, and Akira ordered the Mangekyo awakeners and Flame Army to charge.
- Sixteen Susanoo giants appeared across the battlefield, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen and Homura Mitokado stunned by the Uchiha’s strength.
- Might Guy and Kakashi recognized familiar techniques among the revived fighters, while Tsunade identified her father and vowed not to forgive Sarutobi Hiruzen for desecrating his corpse.
