Impure World Reincarnation: The One Who Knows Everything

Besides his decisiveness, Sakumo has another commendable quality: he acts on his ideas immediately.

After bidding farewell to Sasuke and Naruto from the future, Kazashiro learned from others that Sakumo had convened a remote Kage Summit to reach a conclusion on the issue of the Daimyo's Mansion colluding with the Dawn Organization.

Kazashiro didn't know how the Kage reached a consensus through their correspondence, but even Ōnoki, a Kage who held the Daimyo's Mansion in high esteem, led a small force to the Daimyo's Daimyo's Mansion to demand an explanation after receiving Sakumo's letter.

Why did Ōnoki betray his country?

And Pakura, aren't you my spy planted next to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind? Why didn't you contact me and went to fight the daimyo with Uncle Sakumo?

Pakura also has something to say: You've been gone for almost a year. Besides you and Hikaru, the only person I can contact is that brat Obito. What can I do?

Perhaps it was the appearance of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind that disgusted Pakura; in any case, unable to contact Kazashiro, Pakura decided to follow Sakumo's lead.

In any case, the order issued by the Daimyo's Mansion was for Sunagakure to follow in Konoha's footsteps, and he could be considered to have obeyed the Daimyo's orders.

In an instant, the daimyo of the Five Great Nations all received questions from the hidden villages under their command.

Apart from the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the other daimyo angrily tore up the letters in their hands.

This is outrageous!

The reaction from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was particularly strong.

He trusted Konoha so much that he was willing to offend Sunagakure, which was on his own territory, but what was the result? The result was that they all betrayed his trust!

"Immediately assemble the troops and annihilate them all before Sunagakure can make a move! Annihilate them all!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind was now consumed by rage, and the folding fan in his hand broke from the constant, forceful swinging.

The situation in the Land of Earth is similar to this.

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth has always trusted Ōnoki greatly and has tried his best to meet his requests.

This is why Ōnoki was able to raise an army of tens of thousands during the Third Shinobi World War.

Yet, the very Tsuchikage he trusted most wrote to him asking if there were members of the Dawn Organization around him trying to sow discord between the two sides.

They even uttered the outrageous statement that the Hidden Village should be independent of the country.

If it weren't for your annual commissions and military expenditures, Iwagakure would have been wiped out by Konoha long ago, you know that?!

"Immediately cut off Iwagakure's military funding, mobilize troops, and block them outside the pass. Tell Ōnoki that I am very angry and I will not see him unless he writes a letter apologizing to me!"

Economic control has always been a means for daimyo to control ninjas. During the Warring States period, if ninjas showed even the slightest disrespect to daimyo, the daimyo would fund their rivals, causing that Ninja Clan to disappear from the annals of history.

It can be said that from ninja conflicts to village rivalries, the methods employed by the upper echelons have remained unchanged and have proven consistently effective.

But this time, the ninjas showed these arrogant guys that they had miscalculated.

The soldiers that the Daimyo of the Land of Earth had used to guard the pass were easily subdued by the elite troops led by Ōnoki, much like a joke.

When the daimyo received news about Ōnoki again, it was a report that the other party had already arrived at the castle gate.

Compared to the other daimyo, the daimyo of the Land of Fire is the most wronged among them.

Upon seeing the letter from Sakumo, Tokugawa Shigenami immediately turned to look at the two advisors behind him.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, these two advisors who were nominally expelled from Konoha, were actually henchmen sent by Danzo.

All government affairs had to go through them; only with their approval could their names be signed and stamped.

Now that Sakumo has sent a letter claiming he colluded with the Dawn Organization, to Tokugawa Shigenami, who holds no real power, this is nothing short of fabrication, a sham operation, pure imagination, and pure concoction...

However, Tokugawa Shigenami was able to maintain his position as daimyo because of his ability to endure humiliation and hardship.

"Two advisors, what do you think...?"

Filled with grievances, Tokugawa Shigenami pitifully handed over Sakumo's letter.

"Your Highness, please do not panic. We have witnessed your loyalty. I will send a letter to the Fourth Generation, telling him of your devotion to Konoha." Mitokado Homura's series of treasonous words almost broke Tokugawa Shigenami's composure.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"

Inside the laboratory, as Orochimaru completed the hand seals, the soil began to spread onto the three White Zetsu.

Sakumo looked coldly at the scene inside the laboratory. Beside him, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked worried, his right hand unconsciously repeating the action of clenching and unclenching.

Behind the two, Danzo slightly closed, and he gripped his cane tightly, causing his knuckles to turn slightly white.

The Fifth Generation had explicitly forbidden Orochimaru from researching the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, but Orochimaru was someone who gave up so easily.

Since the Fifth Generation's approach was not working, he went to persuade the Fourth Generation.

After discussions among the Third Hokage, the Fourth Generation, Danzo, and others, and considering the current situation, the Fourth Generation agreed to Orochimaru's request to use the Impure World Reincarnation to obtain information.

The three they summoned this time were the legendary figures.

With the completion of the Impure World Reincarnation, the figures of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha appeared before everyone.

Upon seeing his mentor's face, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes welled up with tears.

He never imagined that he would see his teacher again at this age.

Danzo, standing behind Hiruzen, was also somewhat moved.

Compared to the First Hokage and Second Hokage, whose appearances are not much different from their photos, Madara Uchiha's figure is more intriguing.

At this time, Madara Uchiha appeared as an elderly man in his sixties with tattered clothes and gray hair. This appearance directly confirmed some of Orochimaru's suspicions.

"Did those two, Setsuna and Yaowan, finally succeed?"

Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

Then he was horrified to discover that there were several cracks on his hands.

"No, this is... the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu?"

Madara Uchiha somewhat panicked.

He couldn't understand why he, who should have been resurrected through the Reanimation Jutsu, had instead been given a body Impure World Reincarnation through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Has something changed in the plan?

Are you... Madara?

Madara's mutterings caught Hashirama's attention. Having just regained his senses, Hashirama looked at the old man not far away in disbelief.

That magnetic voice, without a doubt, it's Ban.

"Hashirama?"

Upon hearing Hashirama's voice, Madara turned his head, a hint of surprise unconsciously appearing on his face.

However, this surprise vanished immediately upon seeing Hashirama standing next to Tobirama.

"Hmph." Madara snorted coldly and turned his head back.

"Hmph." Tobirama snorted coldly, gritting his teeth as he said, "As expected, Madara, you didn't die at the Valley of the End, but ran off somewhere to plot a scheme. You evil old Uchiha, I..."

After the earth-shattering battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha died, and Tobirama couldn't wait to study his body.

However, Hashirama forbade him to act, instead ordering people to preserve Madara Uchiha's body, setting up strict defenses, and strictly forbidding Tobirama investigating the matter.

It wasn't until after Hashirama's death, Tobirama became Hokage Position, that he secretly searched for Madara's body. It took him a long time to find out where Hashirama had kept Madara's body.

When Tobirama, full of anticipation, pushed open the door to the secret chamber, the empty stone coffin dealt him a heavy blow.

Ban's body has disappeared.

And he couldn't make a fuss about it.

After all, once this matter is announced, everyone will suspect that Tobirama did it, and that the reason for leaking the information is to make a false accusation.

Tobirama was furious; he immediately wanted to take the sword he used to kill Izuna and kill a few radical Uchiha.

"Hmph, as expected, Tobirama, you finally couldn't resist investigating my corpse, didn't you?" Madara Uchiha sneered, exposing Tobirama's despicable act.

"Tobirama, didn't I tell you? You can't—"

"Shut up, bro!"

"Oh..." Hashirama fell silent.

As the group was discussing, Sakumo led Hiruzen and Danzo into the laboratory.

Danzo was holding a petri dish containing Black Zetsu, that cunning old fox.

"Who are you..."

The appearance of the group immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Hashirama looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, I am Hiruzen." Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward, his previously hunched body straightening up.

"Monkey, you've gotten old." Tobirama was taken aback, only then recognizing his disciple.

"Yes, a long time has passed since you two passed away..." Hiruzen Sarutobi briefly explained the situation in the Genin world.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's narration, Hashirama and Tobirama didn't show much emotion; the only one who couldn't hold back was Madara standing to the side.

"Are you kidding me, brat?"

Upon hearing that Yaowan and Setsuna had perished, and that Black Zetsu was not his own will but Kaguya's, Madara Uchiha's seemingly aged body instantly erupted with a powerful aura.

"Please be quiet." Before Hiruzen could react, Sakumo's blade was already at Madara's neck.

"Such speed! Even Tobirama then didn't have such exquisite swordsmanship." Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes as he looked at the blade so close to him.

Immediately afterwards, his two arms fell to the ground.

"This swordsmanship, is it from the Hatake Clan?" Tobirama was very unhappy with Madara's words that put him down, but at the same time he recognized Sakumo's swordsmanship.

"This is the Fourth Hokage, Hatake Sakumo, the Second Hokage," Hiruzen introduced Sakumo's identity.

Upon hearing that the other party was the Fourth Hokage, Hashirama's face showed a hint of joy.

Tobirama nodded in satisfaction. "You voluntarily abdicated, monkey. Well done. Seeing your aged body, I thought you'd become one of those power-hungry guys."
