"So, it's you, Hashirama." Madara crossed his arms again, feigning indifference. "I didn't think we'd have the chance to meet again."
"Madara, you're still alive?!" Senju Hashirama exclaimed in shock. The Madara before him didn't appear to be an Edo Tensei body but rather alive and breathing.
"Tch!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara felt both annoyed and embarrassed. How could he possibly tell Hashirama that he had been defeated and was now serving someone else? That was simply unspeakable!
"Enough with the chatter, Hashirama. Let's fight!"
As the two of them once again engaged in an earth-shattering battle, chaos erupted on another part of the battlefield. The remaining Edo Tensei resurrected shinobi, who had failed to meet Madara's expectations, descended one after another.
"The Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, the Third Kazekage, the Third Mizukage, and even Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Pakura..."
The shinobi of Amagakure felt an overwhelming wave of pressure as they faced this formidable lineup.
They had barely managed to hold their ground against the undead army of the Reaper, and now with so many powerful enemies joining the fray, how were they supposed to fight?
"Hahaha! I never thought I'd see you again after death. Looks like I'll have to kill you one more time!"
"Senju Tobirama," Kinkaku and Ginkaku taunted arrogantly.
Meanwhile, the Third Kazekage fixed his gaze on Kakashi's black cloak adorned with red clouds. "Are you from the same organization as Sasori?"
"Looks like I'll have my revenge this time!"
"Me too!" the Fourth Raikage added.
"Hmm? Son, were you killed by them?" the Third Raikage asked, turning to his son.
"Yes," the Fourth Raikage nodded. "And I'm guessing that after my death, the Cloud Village was completely wiped out by them."
"What?! The village was destroyed?!" Hearing this, the Third Raikage was utterly enraged. His entire body crackled with lightning, and his hair stood on end from the intense electrical current.
"You'll all pay for this!"
"Hell Stab: Four-Finger Thrust of Hell!"
Like father, like son—the Third Raikage's temper was just as explosive as his son's. Upon learning that the village had been destroyed by these people, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Zzzzz!
With the sound of crackling electricity, a flash of blue and purple lightning streaked across the battlefield, heading straight for Kakashi. The Third Raikage extended one hand, using four fingers as a spear, determined to kill this member of the Akatsuki.
Boom!
Kakashi turned into a puff of smoke—it was a Shadow Clone. His real body was hiding in the shadows, his heart pounding in fear.
The enemy's speed was simply too fast. Compared to Madara's overwhelming strength, this feeling of being unable to see or react to the opponent's movements was an entirely different kind of deadly experience.
"Hmph! Is hiding all you can do?" the Third Raikage sneered. "If that's the case, I'll just clean up your subordinates first and see how long you can keep hiding."
He transformed into a streak of lightning and charged into the rear ranks of the Amagakure ninja forces. Like a tiger among sheep, he tore through the ranks with ease, leaving devastation in his wake.
Compared to the Fourth Raikage, the Third Raikage's strength was clearly superior. Although his speed was slightly slower, his attack power and defense were unparalleled.
Even many Kage-level opponents couldn't break through his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, let alone ordinary ninjas.
Damn it!
Faced with this situation, Kakashi couldn't just stand by. However, he cautiously surveyed the battlefield, hoping to find another option.
But to his dismay, there was none.
Tsunade, Might Guy, and even Senju Tobirama were all occupied with multiple Edo Tensei enemies and couldn't spare any assistance.
"Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique!"
Kakashi attempted to use Wood Release to restrain the Third Raikage's movements. However, as soon as he activated the technique, the Fourth Raikage, who had been lying in wait, immediately spotted him.
So that's where you're hiding!
The Fourth Raikage's eyes flashed, and he transformed into a streak of blue-purple lightning, appearing in front of Kakashi in an instant.
"Lariat!"
Crap!
Kakashi's Sharingan finally caught the Fourth Raikage's movements, but it was too late. The attack was closing in on his neck.
Whoosh!
Flying Thunder God Technique!
Senju Tobirama suddenly appeared, grabbing Kakashi and teleporting away just in time to evade the Fourth Raikage's attack.
"Thanks, Second Hokage—"
"It's not over yet!"
Before Kakashi could finish expressing his gratitude, the sound of something slicing through the air came from behind them. The Third Raikage had caught up.
"Hell Stab: Four-Finger Thrust of Hell!"
Faced with the sudden attack, Senju Tobirama threw Kakashi aside and grabbed the arm that had pierced through his own chest. He then attached a series of explosive tags to it.
"Did you forget? I'm in an Edo Tensei body. Ordinary attacks can't kill me."
"Let's see how you handle my Mutual Multiplying Explosive Tags!"
This was an incredibly powerful and ingenious forbidden technique. In this regard, Senju Tobirama was truly a genius. The forbidden techniques he developed were all ridiculously strong.
Take the Mutual Multiplying Explosive Tags for example. It used a single low-power explosive tag to create a chain reaction, resulting in an explosion powerful enough to harm even the Ten-Tails.
Sure enough, the Third Raikage was quickly blown to pieces by the chain of explosions.
And then... he regenerated.
"Sorry, I'm also in an Edo Tensei state," the Third Raikage said smugly.
Senju Tobirama: "..."
Third Raikage: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
For the first time, Senju Tobirama wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to invent such a complicated forbidden technique?
Now the enemies were all in immortal Edo Tensei bodies. How were they supposed to fight this?
"Hahaha, being in an Edo Tensei state isn't so bad after all!"
"As long as we avoid being sealed, we can do whatever we want!" Kinkaku and Ginkaku laughed.
"Then let's kill their sealing ninjas first. That way, we'll be invincible!"
"Enough talk, let's get to it!" The Third and Fourth Raikage, ever action-oriented, once again transformed into streaks of blue-purple lightning, charging toward the sealing team at the rear of Amagakure.
Whoosh!
Senju Tobirama used Flying Thunder God to reach the sealing team first. Forming hand seals, he unleashed Water Release: Water Severing Wave.
The horizontal water blade sliced toward the incoming lightning streaks. Both the Third and Fourth Raikage underestimated Tobirama's mastery of Water Release, relying on their Lightning Release Chakra Mode to tank the attack without dodging.
As a result, they were sent flying, deep horizontal gashes appearing on their chests.
Are you kidding me? Senju Tobirama's Water Severing Wave could even cut through the roots of the Divine Tree.
However, Tobirama's resistance ultimately seemed futile. The two Raikage quickly recovered and launched another attack. Meanwhile, more powerful enemies were joining the assault on the sealing team.
With their Edo Tensei bodies, they were unafraid of death, no matter how hard Tsunade or Guy fought.
Even the undead army under Yamata's command began a full-scale charge. The situation grew increasingly dire.
"Yo! Looks like I arrived just in time!"
A voice tinged with mockery echoed across the battlefield.
Deidara's Clay Clone appeared, dragging a miniature model of an Armory behind it.
