The loud whistle made many Allied Shinobi Forces turn around, their faces filled with disbelief.
" The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage! Why are they here?"
"This is... Impure World Reincarnation, why?"
Tsunade's exclamation caused Orochimaru, who had rushed over shortly after, to chuckle.
"Of course it's me. It's been a long time, Tsunade. I heard you're now the Fifth Hokage and have overcome your fear of blood?"
Orochimaru's appearance immediately put the Konoha Orochimaru on high alert, with Kakashi and Might Guy even standing in his way.
" Orochimaru, I can't believe you've come back from the dead. What are you doing on the battlefield? Are you going to continue cooperating with Akatsuki in this war?"
Faced with Kakashi's questioning, Orochimaru smirked and slowly raised his right hand.
On it, the azure patterns flowed regularly, seemingly restraining his actions.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I was ordered by my best disciple to revive the four Hokage to help you win."
"Besides, I'm not interested in a war in which I wasn't involved. The only thing that interests me right now is..."
Orochimaru smiled coldly as he looked around the battlefield until his gaze landed on Uchiha Sasuke and the Nine-Tailed Fox, at which point he paused for a moment.
" Naruto?!"
At the same time, Namikaze Minato was shocked. He stared at the Nine-Tailed Fox, who was bound by chakra chains, and threw out several Flying Raijin Kunai.
"Cover the Fourth Hokage, Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang!
Amidst swirling White Mist, a gigantic shuriken appeared behind the Third Hokage, hurtling rapidly toward Uchiha Madara in the distance.
" Flying Thunder God 2nd Stage· Big Ball Rasengan."
The White Jade -like spinning Rasengan slammed into the chains, but it couldn't budge the deep purple chains even a fraction.
In that instant, the father and son locked eyes, and the Nine-Tails ' Yin-Yang Chakra connected.
In their Inner world, the two Nine-Tails gazed at each other. Before Namikaze Minato could speak, the Nine-Tails- Tails inside Naruto spoke, recounting everything in detail.
"... That's how it is, Fourth Hokage. You must leave the Flying Thunder God Mark right now. Once I'm extracted from Naruto's body, I'll immediately move my half from your body into Naruto's body."
The father and son's conversation didn't last long; Naruto smiled frankly and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Dad, it's such a long-awaited reunion, but it can only last for such a short time."
"Stop talking, Naruto. You did a great job, a really great job. I couldn't have done what you did at your age. Without a doubt, you are the hero who saved the Ninja World."
Minato smiled gently, but at this heartwarming moment of reunion, Uchiha Madara's excited roar came from the outside.
" Hashirama! It's been a long time since we fought. You've come at just the right time. Get these annoying ants out of my way! Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Rumble...
Crunch, crunch!
The next second, countless tree seeds buried under the permafrost spread wildly, transforming the entire snowfield into a sea of vines in a short time.
" Wood Release? When did that bastard Uchiha Madara give my brother's Kekkei Genkai...?"
Senju Tobirama's face turned grim, and his figure vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing before Madara's eyes.
The next second, Explosive Tag flashed white light, and a continuous series of Explosive Tag detonated, flashing with unprecedented brilliance and roar.
" Mutual Exploding Tag Art!"
"Now is not the time for reminiscing, Sage Art: Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Senju Hashirama composed himself and countered with his own Wood Release technique. The two sides' vines were vibrant and intertwined, inseparable.
The entire Land of Snow was covered by such amazing ninjutsu, which amazed countless ninjas.
"Is this what the battles of our predecessors are like? Even with Sage Mode to help, it feels like I can't participate at all. It's astonishing!"
"Shut up! How can you say such spineless things? Madara has been resurrected and is no longer immortal. The chance to truly kill him is right in front of us! Charge!"
The Fourth Raikage shouted angrily, activating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and charged directly towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which was protected by layers of vines in the distance.
As the raging winds gradually subsided, Senju Tobirama stared in disbelief. His eyes, now transformed into the Rinnegan, had miraculously survived the explosion unscathed.
Pfft!
Paper scraps flew out, and black rods instantly pierced through Senju Tobirama's limbs. Uchiha Madara, whom he regarded as a nightmare, said this in a calm and indifferent tone.
"Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time, ever since you killed Izuna..."
Looking up at the sky, a blood moon hung in the heavens, and looking down at the figures below, Ban felt utterly bored.
"Now that things have come to this, no matter how much I ravage you, I cannot awaken those who have been slumbering in the ancient river of time. It ends here, even though the order is a little off."
The next second, his figure appeared like a phantom, stirring up towering snow waves, and Madara's figure appeared beside an Allied Shinobi without anyone noticing.
"The ninjutsu you just used were all Senjutsu, which means that this strange thing on your body has the Natural Energy unique to Sage Mode, right?"
As the Allied Shinobi looked on in astonishment, strands of Natural Energy followed the Preta Path and entered Madara's body.
In no time, Madara frowned and casually flung the ninja whose neck had been crushed away.
" Sage Mode? That power is nothing special..."
"Ban! Stop it! Can't we sit down and talk?"
"That's what Senju Hashirama said," he said, his hands Hand Seals rapidly.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
"Sit down and let's talk. I already said what I wanted to say during the battle at the Valley of the End. Now, I just want this world to come to a standstill. Limbo: Border Prison."
With a shifting gaze, ignoring Hashirama's Hashirama, Phantom Madara suddenly appeared beside the Nine Tailed Beasts.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...
A flash of red light appeared, Nine Tailed Beasts collapsed to the ground, their bodies aching and numb.
"You beasts, get back into the cage!"
Sizzle!
The chains tightened instantly, pulling the Tailed Beast one by one into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Kurama lowered his head, looking serious.
"Kid, rescue me from that bastard's clutches later."
"Ah, we'll definitely win!"
The moment the Nine-Tails left his body, Namikaze Minato flashed by and disappeared into the battlefield.
"It all ends here! The world is about to fall into an eternal Infinite Tsukuyomi. Hashirama, you're too late..."
As strange hand seals were formed, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path beneath his feet constantly shifted, its tails merging into his body.
The next second, a gale howled, and a crimson Crimson Moon tore through the sky.
Uchiha Madara was dressed in a pale, bone-like Hagoromo, with Truth-Seeking Orb appearing behind him. He held the Six Paths Staff and stood in mid-air.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Land of Snow, where Uchiha Sasuke was...
