The Akatsuki Organization and the Ninja Villages Wiped Each Other Out

After seeing Hizashi and Longchuan off, Xuanye used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach his private office in the Castle Keep.

None of the past Hokage were among them, of course. Without Xuanye's permission, Orochimaru would not touch the remains in Konoha Heroes' Cemetery.

Even so, this reanimated army alone was likely enough to conquer any
