"Medical-nin, fall back to the back of the formation!"
"Sealing specialists, to the second line, ready to act at any time!"
"Frontal attackers...!"
Jiraiya began to command Konoha's troops to resist the Impure World Reincarnation.
...
"Understood!"
With Jiraiya's orders echoing through the air, the shinobi began to react and reorganize.
"Jiraiya..." Orochimaru sighed and murmured, "This idiot, he has also grown up."
Ashes scattered in the air began to slowly gather together. The shinobi resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, who had been incinerated by Jiraiya's fire release ninjutsu, began to slowly regenerate.
One by one, the resurrected shinobi took up combat stances.
Jiraiya frowned. He knew that a battle was inevitable. "Listen up!" he shouted. "Destroy their bodies and let the sealing specialists take care of the rest! Understood?"
"Don't hesitate! If you do, the only thing that awaits you is death!"
"Yes!"
"Then let it begin!"
Orochimaru let out a deranged laugh. His eyes shone with excitement as he watched the resurrected shinobi charge forward under his control.
"Let's see what they're capable of…" he muttered, licking his lips.
[Boom!!!]
The resurrected shinobi immediately charged and unleashed a storm of devastating ninjutsu upon the shinobi of Konoha and Suna.
The shinobi of Konoha and Suna desperately tried to defend themselves, but some were overwhelmed and the enemies managed to break through, wreaking havoc on their ranks.
As soon as the two sides met, casualties occurred immediately.
"Sealed!"
Just then, the sealing shinobi sprang into action.
The reanimated shinobi were sealed, cutting off their connection to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru frowned.
"Orochimaru!!!"
A voice full of anger rang out.
It was Onoki!
He angrily approached Orochimaru, not bothering to hide the killing intent emanating from his body.
From the beginning, Ōnoki knew that allying himself with that poisonous snake would not bring anything good.
Not only had he arrived late to the battle, causing heavy losses to Iwagakure, but he had also resorted to Impure World Reincarnation.
That forbidden technique was something that not even at this moment, Iwagakure could look upon favorably.
Therefore, Ōnoki hoped that at least Orochimaru would act discreetly and control the reanimated shinobi from the shadows.
But to his horror, Orochimaru not only appeared openly on the battlefield, but did so by brazenly emerging from the ranks of Iwagakure.
And as if that wasn't enough... that bastard dared to revive even the dead of Iwagakure!
Ōnoki could clearly imagine the curses his own men would be hurling at him at that very moment.
Without a doubt, after this war, Ōnoki would have to begin considering his retirement.
And the worst thing was that it would not be an honorable retirement, but a shameful retreat under the contempt of all.
Onoki devoted his whole life to Iwagakure, but in the end, he lost his integrity. How could he be willing?
But what worried him most was something else. He had yet to find a suitable successor for the position of Fourth Tsuchikage!
If he was forced to retire, would he have to push Kitsuchi into office?
Apart from him, there seemed to be no other viable option.
All his plans were in ruins. At that moment, Ōnoki felt a burning desire to bite Orochimaru until he tore a piece out of him.
"Hehe, there's no need to look at me like that!" Orochimaru said lightly: "If you're unhappy, I can just leave!"
"Hmph!" With a furious snort, Ōnoki growled, "Kill as many of Konoha and Sunagakure's shinobi as you can. It would be best if not a single one was left alive!"
Orochimaru gave a slight smile. "I can only say… that I will do my best."
Orochimaru looked up. Another group of reanimated shinobi had just been sealed!
This made him secretly clench his fists.
Orochimaru was also very depressed.
There are so many powerful shinobi, but for some reason, they cannot be summoned!
Something was interfering with his summons, but he couldn't figure out what.
Furthermore, the Konoha shinobi seemed to be overly prepared for the Impure World Reincarnation.
Orochimaru didn't need to think too much, the person responsible for this could only be Uchiha Fūnan.
That bastard had always shown a special interest in the reincarnation of the impure world.
Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Ōnoki. "Don't just stand there. Get the Iwagakure shinobi to take action." he said coldly. "If we continue like this, all the reincarnated shinobi will be sealed, and then we'll be finished. Or do you think Iwagakure can take on the Sunagakure and Konoha alliance alone?"
Ōnoki gritted his teeth silently.
If it weren't for the two tailed beasts on the enemy side, Onoki would have already charged towards the enemy.
At that moment, Ōnoki couldn't help but feel a deep nostalgia for Roshi and Han.
Especially Han.
Not only did he possess formidable strength, but he was also a loyal subordinate. To him, Onoki's orders were absolute, almost to the point of handing over his body!
What was the result?
My Han!
"Damn Akatsuki!"
If it weren't for them, Iwagakure wouldn't have lost its two Jinchūriki.
Ōnoki watched in rage as the tailed beasts rampaged across the battlefield.
The combination of the Tailed Beasts and the shinobi armies was simply unstoppable.
"Attack!" Ōnoki ordered.
The shinobi of Iwagakure charged into battle, fighting side by side with the reincarnated shinobi against the forces of Konoha and Sunagakure.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru watched the scene with a cold expression.
[Boom!!!]
"Ahh!!!"
A huge explosion was heard.
Immediately afterward, a heart-rending roar echoed through the air.
It was the Nine Tails!
An explosion had hit him hard.
Konoha and Sunagakure were not the only ones who could use explosive tags.
Especially the reincarnated shinobi. They were already dead, and their best strategy was suicide attacks.
Just an instant before, several reincarnated shinobi took advantage of the Nine-Tails' carelessness and launched themselves at him.
Then hundreds of explosive tags exploded at the same time!
Even the Nine-Tails was affected by such a huge explosion.
"Hahahaha!" Shukaku's mocking laughter echoed beside him.
"Stinky fox, look carefully!" Shukaku gave him a mocking look.
[Buzz!]
A torrent of sand spread out, enveloping the reincarnated shinobi before they could react. They were then completely sealed away.
"What do you think, stupid fox?" Shukaku mocked, proudly.
The Nine Tails was furious!
It opened its mouth wide, and a huge tailed beast ball condensed in its mouth.
"Damn bastards, all of you die!"
"Dust Release..." Onoki was horrified.
They are all tailed beasts, why is the Nine-Tails' tailed beast ball so big?!
[Boom!!!]
Before the Nine-Tails launched its attack, the Dust Release disintegrated the tailed beast ball.
"Dust Release?" The Nine-Tails recognized Onoki's technique and growled in fury. "Let's see how many times you can stop my attacks."
He opened his mouth again, condensing another Tailed Beast Ball.
"Don't be so arrogant!"
Onoki was also furious. He flew straight towards the Nine Tails.
Meanwhile, he performed a series of seals and summoned a gigantic stone golem, which launched a devastating blow against the Nine-Tails' face, making it retreat dozens of meters, while the tailed beast ball flew into the sky.
In the face again!
The Nine-Tails was so furious that he wanted to explode.
"Hmm?"
But just as he was about to unleash his wrath…
From within him, in his mental world, a heart-rending scream of pain was heard.
"Tsk!"
The Nine-Tails frowned, visibly upset, but still began to slowly fade away.
All of his chakra returned to Naruto's body.
Naruto's body couldn't take it anymore.
If this continued, Naruto would be the first to die.
And the Nine-Tails was not willing to bear that person's wrath. After all, in a certain sense, that person's personality was even worse than Uchiha Madara's.
"It's really annoying!"
The Nine-Tails shouted angrily in the consciousness space.
"Get used to it!"
A voice responded to him.
Funan!
He was sitting nonchalantly inside Naruto's mindspace, a book in his hand, reading it with great interest.
The Nine-Tails glanced at him and said coldly: "Why don't you unseal? Are you also afraid of my power?"
"Why are you pretending to be ignorant?" Funan sneered and said: "Naruto can't handle your power right now. Just wait a little longer... unless you're willing to turn him into a perfect Jinchūriki."
The Nine-Tails grinned!
Funan walked up to the huge seal and looked at the Nine-Tails curiously. "Tell me, Nine-Tails, why are you so resistant? You've watched Naruto grow up since he was a baby. In a way, it's almost like he's your own son. Wouldn't it be better to accept him?"
The Nine-Tails let out a sarcastic laugh. "I'm a tailed beast! I'll never have a human child! Also, Uchiha, you seem to forget one small detail... This brat's parents died because of me."
"What's the matter?" Funan waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's no big deal. He's Naruto. Everything can be forgiven."
In the original timeline, Naruto and Minato even forgave Obito.
Fuck!
During the Fourth Shinobi War, how many people had died because of Obito?
Including Neji!
What was the result?
Naruto said: "Obito who wants to be Hokage is the most handsome!"
Minato said: "Obito, Naruto is in your hands!"
That was not being a saint...
Not even in a low-class novel would they have written something so exaggerated.
Funan felt a twitch at the corner of his lips. They were really amazing!
"It's no big deal?" The Nine-Tails looked at Funan suspiciously and said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course!" Funan said with a smile, "Just wait, Naruto's generosity is beyond your imagination."
The Nine-Tails was speechless.
Is this generosity...?
Or just plain stupidity?
He killed his parents and yet Naruto was going to forgive him and accept him wholeheartedly?
If that wasn't stupid... then he, the Nine-Tails, would eat his own tails.
