"Five pairs of Mangekyo..."
Orochimaru's eyes burned with fervor.
In the desert.
The Third Raikage instantly entered Lightning Style Chakra Mode, disappearing from his spot and heading straight for Uchiha Itachi.
A red, skull-like Susanoo appeared, but the next moment, it exploded under the Third Raikage's palm.
However, the Third Raikage couldn't continue attacking Uchiha Itachi. A large green hand grabbed him.
At the same time, the Second Raikage, Second Kazekage, Third Kazekage, Fourth Kazekage, Second Mizukage, and Third Mizukage all attacked.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
"Retreat, sealing squad prepare to seal!"
Gaara roared his command, waving his hands as rolling sand waves surged skyward.
Ahead, explosions erupted continuously, Susanoo manifested one after another, and Kage were sent flying.
Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yashiro, and Uchiha Kōta three blocked all the Kage's attacks.
Meanwhile, the Third Raikage was pierced by a sword from Uchiha Itachi, who had reformed the upper body of his Susanoo.
It was the Totsuka Blade!
As Uchiha Itachi manipulated his Susanoo to swipe, the Third Raikage's soul was drawn from his Impure World Reincarnation body and sealed.
Next, his gaze shifted, locking onto the Fourth Kazekage, who was dueling Gaara.
Amaterasu!
Black flames burned fiercely on the Fourth Kazekage. Seizing the opportunity, Gaara crossed his hands, engulfing his own father with two streams of sand.
Uchiha Itachi immediately withdrew the black flames.
If he didn't, Gaara and the others wouldn't be able to seal him.
The sand gradually enveloped him. The Fourth Kazekage looked at the calmly commanding Gaara, a smile appearing on his dazed face: "You've grown up..."
In a flash, the Fourth Kazekage was completely encased in sand, then Uzumaki Karin and others who were ready threw kunai with sealing tags.
"Seal!"
Karin formed hand seals, and the jutsu spread from the sealing tags, sealing the sand-encased Fourth Kazekage.
On the other side.
Dodai, a Cloud Ninja, dealt with the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release: Iron Sand Secret Technique while also directing the Allied Shinobi Forces to use Earth Style and Water Style to restrict the Second Raikage's speed.
Uchiha Kōta seized the opportunity, smashing down with his blue Susanoo, obliterating the Second Raikage.
While his body recovered, Karin immediately led her team forward to seal the Second Raikage.
Uchiha Kōta's original Sharingan had been stolen by the Tenshin Group, but this was all an act. His eyes were eventually upgraded to Mangekyo by a clone with Sarutobi Asuma, and then returned to Uchiha Kōta's possession.
As for Uchiha Fugaku, his Mangekyo coupled with Susanoo broke through the Second Mizukage's summoning beast's genjutsu.
Just as the Second Mizukage was about to unleash his ultimate move, Uchiha Shisui, who had just dealt with the Third Mizukage, activated Kotoamatsukami, causing Orochimaru to lose control over the Second Mizukage.
At this time, Uchiha Yashiro was still entangled with the Fourth Mizukage.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was indeed formidable. Even in a desert environment, he used Water Style, especially the Water Mirror Technique, to block Uchiha Yashiro's attacks.
With the Water Mirror Technique in his hands, he could even reflect and copy Susanoo, which greatly shocked Uchiha Yashiro.
After all, the Sharingan could copy ninjutsu, but secret techniques and kekkei genkai were not included.
Fortunately, this replication was only one-time and had its limits.
The complete Susanoo easily smashed the Fourth Mizukage, who was then sealed.
Meanwhile, with the cooperation of Dodai and the others, Uchiha Itachi also sealed the Third Kazekage with the Totsuka Blade.
Thus, all nine Kage were dealt with.
Furthermore, the Second Mizukage was turned against Orochimaru by Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, completely breaking free from Orochimaru's control.
The clone Shinju, who was stationed as a backup, didn't even need to make a move, and the battle concluded.
"Truly powerful, the legendary Mangekyo. Konoha actually possesses so many now..."
Dodai lamented inwardly, even feeling a hint of unease.
The strength displayed by Konoha was too immense.
Not to mention that powerful Ninja Demigod, the force present alone was enough to overwhelm the entire Ninja World.
Konoha now was likely even stronger than during the era of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!
...
In the underground base, Orochimaru said regretfully, "As expected of Mangekyo!"
"Uchiha Itachi only recently obtained Mangekyo, yet he can already use it so proficiently. It seems to be because of Sage Mode."
"And Shisui's ocular jutsu, it's even more astonishing than Kurenai's genjutsu..."
However, the more powerful the Sharingan became, the more excited he grew.
Although he didn't obtain the Sharingan this time, there was still an opportunity.
Even if he couldn't get it in this great battle, he could still obtain it through Sarutobi Asuma.
...
Konoha, Headquarters.
Upon learning that Gaara's battle had concluded and all the Impure World Reincarnation ninjas were dealt with, Minato Namikaze immediately ordered, "Inoichi, notify the Kazekage and have them reinforce the first unit immediately!"
The first unit, led by Darui, was already engaging the invading White Zetsu army along the eastern coast of the Land of Fire.
Simultaneously, the White Zetsu army that was originally in the Land of Wind had also attacked the first unit.
The first unit was about to be caught in a pincer attack.
Therefore, Gaara and the others needed to provide immediate reinforcements.
As for the other three major units, they were all tied up at the moment and could not disengage.
After issuing the order, Minato Namikaze said, "I thought Orochimaru would target the medical unit after Fugaku and the others were transferred away, but I didn't expect there to be no movement."
Shikaku Nara was also a bit puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Looking at it now, the enemy still has a trump card."
"Perhaps he might even summon the First Kage of the various ninja villages."
The First Kage!
While not all of them were stronger than Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, And they weren't necessarily stronger than the Second Tsuchikage or the Third Raikage.
However, beings who had come through the Warring States period were by no means ordinary.
"Perhaps next time, the Tsuchikage and the Raikage can also be deployed!"
Shikaku Nara said.
Ōnoki understood immediately and said, "Are we going to deliberately create the illusion that our strength has been moved out of Konoha?"
Shikaku Nara nodded and said, "We have the large-scale Space-Time Teleportation Array, and we also have Fourth Hokage-sama, Second Hokage-sama, as well as Asuma and Kakashi's Flying Thunder God Technique, which is enough to quickly provide reinforcements."
Minato Namikaze immediately said, "Let's proceed with that arrangement!"
Ōnoki nodded, and the Fourth Raikage also immediately said, "No problem!"
Naruto, standing by the side, watched eagerly and couldn't help but ask, "When will I get to fight?"
He and Kushina Uzumaki had just dispatched Shadow Clones to the first unit's location again.
But seeing others fighting enthusiastically while he had to stay here and listen to conversations he didn't understand was truly boring.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his own mother tapped him on the head. "Your Uncle Asuma said you'll fight sooner or later, don't be impatient now!"
Naruto cried out in pain, his face full of grievance.
Just then, Ao shouted, "Impure World Reincarnation ninjas have appeared on the first unit's battlefield!"
"It's the Gold and Silver Brothers from Kumogakure!"
Yamanaka Inoichi immediately said, "And Dan Katō, Danzō, the First Mizukage..."
"As expected!"
The Fourth Raikage snorted angrily, "That Orochimaru fellow must have dug up the ninja world's graves!"
"Ōnoki, it's time for us to make a move!"
"Mabui, prepare the Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
Minato Namikaze quickly said, "Wait, it's not time for you to act yet. Fugaku and the others are sufficient to deal with the Gold and Silver Brothers."
"Besides, the enemy definitely has more tricks up their sleeve."
Ōnoki said calmly, "You brat, don't rush!"
As expected.
Soon after, powerful Impure World Reincarnation ninjas also appeared on Kitsuchi's side.
The First Tsuchikage, the First Raikage...
Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage immediately set off, with Minato Namikaze's Shadow Clone sending them to the battlefield.
...
As the sun gradually set, the medical unit.
Naruto and Kushina Uzumaki easily found and eliminated the hidden White Zetsu.
"Sakura, how was it, amazing right!"
Naruto said proudly in front of Sakura Haruno.
"Amazing!"
Sakura Hanamaki chuckled approvingly before turning to get busy.
Naruto quickly followed, chattering nonstop.
Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "That kid really is dense!"
She knew there was a little girl from the Hyuga clan who liked her son.
And Asuma had even pointed it out.
But Naruto seemed oblivious, sticking close to Sakura Hanamaki.
As someone who had been through it herself, she knew very well that Sakura Hanamaki didn't have that kind of feeling for her son.
At this moment, a clone of Kagami appeared beside Kushina Uzumaki and chuckled, "Kushina-sis, if this keeps up, Naruto will be single for a long time!"
Kushina Uzumaki let out a soft snort, "Naruto is still young, don't be like you!"
The clone Kagami spread his hands, "It's the original, not me!"
Just as Kushina Uzumaki was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed, "Careful, enemies are coming!"
The clone Kagami beside her also sensed it and wasn't nervous, his eyes activating his Mangekyo.
The next moment, water screens shot up from all around the medical unit's camp, forming a sealed cube that enveloped the entire camp.
The Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Dark Kagami, was a barrier-type ninjutsu.
The clone Kagami preferred to call it the Heavenly Water Realm!
The barrier surrounding them and above was indeed formed by water screens.
And at that moment, a massive figure appeared on the cliff overlooking the camp.
"Susanoo!"
"Is it Uchiha Madara?"
"No, it's not him!"
Kushina Uzumaki exclaimed.
By then, Tsunade and the others had also come out.
"Of course, it's not Uchiha Madara, but his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna!"
The clone Kagami said with a hint of surprise.
He truly hadn't expected Orochimaru to summon even Uchiha Madara's brother.
This one also possessed the Mangekyo.
"Hm?"
The clone Kagami suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Uchiha Madara is here too!"
Everyone looked up at the sky. Indeed, Uchiha Madara was hovering in the air, looking down at them.
"His target is me and Shizune!"
Tsunade immediately snorted coldly.
...
Konoha Main Camp.
Minato Namikaze received the news immediately.
Following closely, Ao said urgently, "A powerful chakra has appeared on the battlefield of the First Unit!"
"It's Nagato of the Akatsuki Organization, the wielder of the Rinnegan!"
Minato Namikaze's expression was calm, and he didn't become agitated, "Monitor the situation and report at any time!"
...
Medical Unit Location.
Uchiha Izuna looked at the camp and the barrier below, letting out a cold snort.
The next moment, black flames appeared on the barrier, burning fiercely.
Amaterasu!
"It seems to be Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi!"
The clone Kagami understood.
Previously, Asuma Sarutobi had analyzed Uchiha Madara's genes and speculated that Uchiha Izuna's Mangekyo Sharingan ability was the same as Uchiha Sasuke's.
However, unfortunately, although Amaterasu was powerful, it couldn't harm his barrier.
With a thought, the barrier's water flowed, carrying the black flames aside, unable to damage the barrier.
"It's actually flowing..."
Uchiha Madara in the air was somewhat surprised. When the clone Kagami looked up and met his gaze, he realized that the other party actually possessed a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Asuma Sarutobi!"
Uchiha Madara's eyes turned cold. In the next moment, his complete Susanoo manifested. "A mere clone thinks it can stop us brothers?"
Inside the barrier.
Tsunade shouted, "Leave Uchiha Madara to me!"
"No!"
Clone Kame said, "You take Uchiha Izuna, I'll handle Uchiha Madara."
"Uncle Asuma, what about me?"
Naruto asked urgently.
Clone Kame smiled, "Naruto, you cooperate with Kushina-neechan to help Tsunade seal Uchiha Izuna!"
"Yosh, don't worry, I'll definitely seal that guy!"
Naruto clenched his fist excitedly.
At this moment, Uchiha Izuna's Susanoo had already materialized a great bow. He drew the bow and shot, a giant arrow carrying black flames blasting down towards the barrier.
Rumble!
The barrier shook but wasn't broken.
Clone Kame's ocular power was extremely potent.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara in the sky also slashed down with his sword.
Tsunade brought her hands together. Outside the barrier, a massive wooden palm rose from the ground. Bringing its hands together, it sandwiched the descending giant chakra blade.
But the next moment, the wooden Susanoo exploded with a bang.
It turned out Uchiha Izuna had shot another arrow.
"I'm going out first!"
Tsunade shouted, leaping into the air.
Being inside the barrier was hindering her performance.
Uzumaki Kushina and Naruto followed closely. Clone Kame immediately opened a gap in the barrier, allowing the three to exit.
Uchiha Izuna outside, however, precisely seized the opportunity and shot an arrow towards Tsunade and the others.
If they were hit, they would be strung together.
However.
Accompanying the clatter of chains, five thick Adamantine Sealing Chains erupted from Uzumaki Kushina's back, forcefully shattering the giant arrow shot by Susanoo.
"Uzumaki Clan's Fūinjutsu!"
"That woman, has she inherited Hashirama's power!"
Uchiha Madara watched, then his four-armed Susanoo simultaneously formed hand seals.
Tengai Shinsei!
Clone Kame soared into the air, also emerging from the barrier, and then summoned a black complete Susanoo. With a flap of its wings, it shot towards the sky.
The weapon of his Susanoo was a shield in the shape of a water vortex, and a trident.
The black Susanoo shooting into the sky raised its hand and struck with the trident, colliding with Uchiha Madara's chakra blade.
Uchiha Madara's second slash fell, blocked by Clone Kame's shield.
Furthermore, Uchiha Madara immediately discovered that his chakra blade had been stuck by the opponent's shield.
Discarding the sword, he formed hand seals.
Uchiha Madara opened his mouth and spat, torrents of flames surging down like a waterfall.
Below, Shizune, Haruno Sakura, and other ninjas watched the battle outside the barrier in shock.
"Too... too strong, they're not even on the same level..."
Haruno Sakura's heart trembled.
She hadn't seen the battle between Sarutobi Asuma and Uchiha Madara outside Konoha last time; she was in the South Sage Continent then.
"Tsunade-sama's strength is unexpectedly great, and she's mastered such powerful Wood Release, far stronger than Captain Yamato!"
Haruno Sakura's eyes widened as she watched Tsunade use the Wood Dragon Technique to entwine Uchiha Izuna's Susanoo.
Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!
Naruto seized the chance for a direct hit, smearing Uchiha Izuna's Susanoo's face.
The light sphere blazed, and the strong wind swept out.
Haruno Sakura and the others saw that Susanoo was unharmed; instead, Tsunade's wood dragon was damaged.
Naruto looked embarrassed.
"Naruto, aim properly before you attack!"
Uzumaki Kushina shouted.
At this moment, Tsunade formed hand seals: Sage Art – Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique!
Her figure rapidly ascended, and at her feet, a giant wooden golem erupted from the ground. A new wood dragon also emerged, coiling around her body. The dragon opened its maw and bit onto the arrow that Uchiha Izuna shot.
Uzumaki Kushina leaped, seizing the opportunity. Adamantine Sealing Chains whistled out, wrapping around Susanoo's legs.
Uchiha Izuna looked down and let out a cold snort, forming hand seals with both hands.
A massive surge of chakra erupted, and Susanoo rapidly transformed, expanding several times over in an instant. It forcefully snapped the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"So strong!"
Uzumaki Kushina was shocked.
The complete Susanoo was no less powerful than Uchiha Madara's.
At this moment, the clone Gami, who was fighting Uchiha Madara, also noticed the situation below.
It was evident that the Impure World Reincarnation state allowed Uchiha Izuna to freely use his Mangekyo without fear of blindness.
Otherwise, without the Eternal Mangekyo, it would be difficult to manifest the complete Susanoo.
Kicking Uchiha Madara away with one foot, the clone Gami flew into the sky and shattered the giant meteorite with a halberd strike.
Uchiha Madara did not intervene. Instead, he lunged towards the medical troops below.
However, before he could reach them, the clone Gami, having shattered the second meteorite, turned around and activated his Mangekyo ocular jutsu.
Instantly, Uchiha Madara's giant Susanoo was enveloped by a spherical water curtain barrier, suspended high in the sky.
This was the second application of the clone Gami's Mangekyo ocular jutsu.
His ocular jutsu was similar to Shisui's and Obito's; they possessed only one ability, but it had different methods of application.
However, Uchiha Madara was Uchiha Madara after all. He dispelled Susanoo, raised his hand, and pressed it against the barrier, which immediately absorbed it.
The power of the Rinnegan!
Down below.
Tsunade unleashed her strongest wood style.
True Several Thousand Hands, Top Buddha Transformation!
Uchiha Izuna's Susanoo attempted to fly up, but its legs were locked by Uzumaki Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains. With Naruto's assistance, they forcefully held the flying Susanoo in place.
The next moment, Uchiha Izuna's giant Susanoo was submerged by countless massive wooden fists.
Rumbling!
Uchiha Izuna lost the ability to resist, and Susanoo was gradually shattered.
Uchiha Madara, watching this scene in the sky, felt as if he were reliving the time he was fought by Senju Hashirama. He immediately changed direction and lunged at Tsunade.
This woman, who had inherited Hashirama's power, was now worthy of his attention!
