Chapter 160 - Chapter 159: Impure World Vs Ninja Alliance!

Yamanaka Haiyi gave a firm nod. "Understood."After a short pause, he continued, "The First Combat Team is requesting permission to borrow the Six Paths magical tool—the Amber Purifying Bottle—from the Hidden Cloud Village."The Raikage nodded. "Approved. Let them know my secretary will send it over shortly using the Sky Delivery Technique.""Understood," Yamanaka replied.Standing nearby, Morkel's ears perked up at the mention of the mystical tool. With a curious expression, he asked, "Amber Purifying Bottle from the Six Paths? Is it really that powerful?"The Raikage raised his chin proudly. "Of course. The Amber Purifying Bottle is a legendary artifact left behind by the Sage of Six Paths himself. If the target responds to the user's call, it gets instantly sealed inside the bottle. It's one of the ultimate sealing tools."Morkel couldn't help but think how familiar this situation felt—straight out of the anime's plot!Sun Xing and Zhe Xing Sun stood behind him silently, sharing the moment."Can I see it up close?" Morkel asked with interest.The Raikage agreed without hesitation.Soon after, a group of Cloud Shinobi brought forth the artifact. What appeared was a large, half-human-height jar.Morkel stared at it, stunned.…This was not what he imagined.His expectations of some grand, glowing relic were quickly dashed."Alright. I'll head back and continue my vacation now," Morkel said flatly and left.The Raikage frowned. "What's with this guy? He just disrespected a sacred treasure!"Tsunade shrugged. "Honestly, it's not surprising. That jar really isn't much to look at."A moment of silence."Have some manners, will you?" the Raikage grumbled.---Turtle IslandUpon returning to Turtle Island, Morkel wasted no time and informed Naruto that he had successfully freed the soul of the Fourth Hokage.Despite the fact that his father had long passed away, Naruto was overwhelmed with emotion. He almost dropped to his knees in front of Morkel out of gratitude."No need for that, Naruto. We're like brothers," Morkel said, helping him up.Naruto, still emotional, bowed repeatedly. "Still, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, who knows how long my father's soul would've remained trapped by the Shinigami?""If you really want to thank me," Morkel smiled, "help me out with something. Ask the Hidden Cloud Shinobi if there's a place on this island where weapons can be forged."Naruto tilted his head. "Forge weapons? Why not just buy some? We've got swords, spears, shuriken—you name it.""Normal weapons aren't enough," Morkel replied. "I want to create something unique—something closer to a prop infused with Immortal Techniques."Naruto looked bewildered but intrigued. He nodded quickly. "Got it! Just tell me what you need, and I'll get right on it!"Morkel handed over a list, and Naruto left excitedly.Now alone, Morkel sat cross-legged in his room, his thoughts spinning. The idea to forge a special weapon had come to him after seeing the Amber Bottle. He didn't have a complete plan yet, but the gears were turning."To make a weapon that truly suits me isn't hard," he murmured. "But how do I embed it with special attributes?""Maybe if I inject chakra… or carve sealing formulas into it?"---Iron Country Desert BattlefieldElsewhere, the Second Combat Team of the Allied Shinobi Forces was engaged in a brutal battle against the reincarnated former Kage and Danzo—revived through Impure World Reincarnation.Though the Alliance had numbers, their enemies were legendary figures of the past—immortal and terrifying in power. The battle was fierce, and casualties mounted by the minute.Second Mizukage Hōzuki, observing the crumbling Allied forces, sighed, pressing his palm to his forehead. "The ninja world has truly declined. Even an old man like me, dead for decades, is still running circles around them."A nearby Allied shinobi looked up with awe. "It's just that you're too strong, Mizukage-sama…"The reanimated Gui Deng Huan Yue snapped, "Enough chit-chat. The longer this drags on, the worse it'll get for you all.""Even though I'm not in control of my body, I can still guide you—listen carefully!"He began instructing the coalition on how to counter his techniques.Meanwhile, not far from him, the reanimated Third Raikage, Danzo, and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa were wreaking havoc like living meat grinders. Everywhere they went, only blood and destruction remained.A Cloud Shinobi was struck through the chest by the Third Raikage's spear-like hand, collapsing in agony. Blood spilled from his lips as he groaned, "The Third Raikage's Lightning Style Armor is almost impenetrable, and his Hell Stab: Four-Fingered Thrust can tear through anything…""He once fought off ten thousand Rock Shinobi alone and even battled Eight Tails to a draw—he's unbeatable…"Another wounded shinobi added, "The strongest shield and the strongest spear… and now, he's immortal. How can we possibly win?"Just when despair was peaking, the Raikage's secretary arrived using the Tensong Technique, delivering the Underworld Sealing Scroll to Huang Tu.At that moment, the Third Raikage, covered in lightning, dashed forward with a terrifying attack—Hell Stab: One-Fingered Assault aimed directly at Huang Tu!This technique, an evolved version of the Four-Fingered Hell Stab, concentrated all of the Raikage's lightning chakra into a single fingertip, increasing its piercing power exponentially.Even the Raikage himself, under control, yelled out a warning mid-attack. "Kid! Run! My one-finger thrust can pierce even a tailed beast—don't take it head-on!"Huang Tu gritted his teeth. Escape? But to where?The Raikage's speed left only afterimages behind—dodging was nearly impossible, and blocking would be suicide.At the last second, Huang Tu opened the sealing scroll sent from HQ. He had been instructed: as long as the target's body touches the talisman, their soul would be pulled back to the underworld and the Impure World body would crumble."I heard Morkel designed this scroll…" Huang Tu muttered, his heart pounding. "Let's hope it works…""ABU!!"The Third Raikage's lightning-charged finger made contact with the scroll just in time.The talisman glowed with sudden life, yanking the Third Raikage's soul out of his undead body. A flash—and he was gone, the reanimated corpse turning to ash.Huang Tu stared, stunned."It worked?! That actually worked!"He looked at his hand and winced in pain—the scroll was burning!Luckily, HQ had warned him this would happen. He tossed the spent scroll aside and looked skyward, where a powerful dust release battle raged."Father! Use this seal next!"Ōnoki was mid-air, locked in combat with the flying Second Tsuchikage. He glanced down with a grunt."Can't you see I'm a little busy? Use your judgment—seal him if you get a chance!""Any later and these old bones won't hold up!"Huang Tu quickly split the remaining scrolls among his squad."You—assist Tsuchikage! The rest of you, go seal Danzo and the Fourth Kazekage!"He turned to another group. "You! Get this seal to the Mizukage. Just make contact—one touch is all it takes!"Thanks to their teamwork, within the next hour, both the Second Mizukage and the Fourth Kazekage were successfully sealed.Now, only two enemies remained on the battlefield—Danzo, and the elusive Second Tsuchikage, still darting through the desert sky.
