After Uehara Naraku received news of Hatake Kakashi's death in battle, he felt some complex emotions, as he had a fairly decent relationship with Hatake Kakashi.
Uehara Naraku sighed inwardly and issued the first command to Yakushi Kabuto: "Kabuto, you can go find Hatake Sakumo's corpse now. If possible, we should gain another one or two strong Reanimation users."
Namikaze Minato: "..."
Uchiha Obito: "..."
Hatake Sakumo is Hatake Kakashi's father.
He committed suicide when Hatake Kakashi was very young, leaving a significant shadow over Kakashi's childhood and even affecting his future path as a ninja.
Now, the master and apprentice are still immersed in the grief of Hatake Kakashi's death in battle, and yet, Uehara Naraku orders them to find Hatake Sakumo's corpse?
Is he planning to have Yakushi Kabuto perform Reanimation on Hatake Sakumo?
Damn it, is Uehara Naraku still human!
Perhaps Hatake Kakashi's soul is looking forward to meeting his father in the Netherworld Pure Land, and yet here you're summoning Hatake Sakumo's soul for Reanimation...
How can you let people die without being able to reunite!
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, frowned slightly, and softly said, "Lord Naraku, I've tried Reanimating Hatake Sakumo before, but I couldn't succeed..."
"Don't worry."
Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead and softly said, "After this war ends, I should be able to successfully Reanimate him."
If I remember correctly, Hatake Sakumo's soul has always been on the path to the Netherworld Pure Land. If the soul isn't in the Pure Land, even Reanimation can't find it, so Hatake Sakumo can't be Reanimated.
If Hatake Kakashi has died in battle, he should first see Hatake Sakumo, who has been waiting for him on the road.
After father and son exchange heartfelt words, they will head to the Netherworld Pure Land liberated from their bonds, right?
At that time, Hatake Sakumo can be Reanimated and revived!
Although Yakushi Kabuto didn't quite understand, he still followed Uehara Naraku's command and secretly dug up Hatake Sakumo's coffin from the Memorial Stele.
Outside Konoha Village.
The battle continued.
No one expected.
Hatake Kakashi would be the first to die in battle.
Or rather, whoever died first was never acceptable to everyone.
However, the sniper bullet's force from the Asura Path directly pierced Kakashi's chest, his body was shot and fell heavily to the ground!
"Kakashi!"
Might Guy looked unbelievingly at Hatake Kakashi's collapse, his body soon covered in blood, Might Guy never thought his close friend would fall here.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
"Teacher Kakashi!"
"Senior Kakashi!"
Others looked at Hatake Kakashi's collapse in shock, Uzumaki Naruto almost fell into a stupor, Rock Lee's eyes widened.
Jiraiya's face showed a trace of sadness, and he coldly reminded them: "Hey, don't be stunned, the battle is still going on! Kid, don't let Kakashi's sacrifice be in vain!"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi slowly closed his eyes.
If possible, dying like this doesn't seem so bad?
At least this way, he can see many people. No matter how many connections he formed, Kakashi sometimes felt the world too lonely.
As Hatake Kakashi's soul ascended, the first person he saw was his father, Hatake Sakumo, this strong ninja known as the Konoha White Fang, using his power to bind himself, waiting on the path to the Netherworld to meet his son.
The father and son never imagined.
Someone would plot against these two dead people.
Outside Konoha Village.
Everyone suppressed the sadness of Kakashi's death.
"Wonder Gate·Open!"
Only Might Guy suddenly erupted with the power of the Seventh Gate: Wonder Gate, rushing towards Pain with his fist: "Hirudora!"
A massive air bullet was shot out by Might Guy's fist!
The air bullet suppressed by his fist transformed into a white tiger, leaping towards Pain of Six Paths, roaring and opening its mouth wide!
The countless bullets shot by the Asura Path were shattered by Hirudora's power and transformed into disappearing chakra, making Deva Path of Pain frown.
As soon as the white tiger formed from the air bullet appeared, the Preta Path appeared before it, opening its palm: "Blocking Jutsu Absorption Seal!"
The next moment, Preta Path was directly crushed by Hirudora!
"How is this possible? This isn't Ninjutsu!"
Deva Path of Pain's expression slightly changed, and he hastily extended his palm, a massive repulsive force erupted: "Almighty Push!"
Unfortunately, Almighty Push's power wasn't enough.
The next moment, even Deva Path of Pain's body was blown away!
The Deva Path of Pain hastily used the Almighty Push with too little power, it wasn't enough to shatter the air bullet of Hirudora. The Animal Path immediately summoned several gigantic Summoning Beasts, attempting to help them resist Hirudora's force!
One by one, the Summoning Beasts turned into smoke and dissipated!
The white fierce tiger gradually condensed into a white sphere, the Qi Force within the sphere started to relentlessly destroy everything around it!
"What a hassle."
The Deva Path of Pain frowned and suddenly thrust his palm towards the Preta Path's broken body: "Heavenly Attraction!"
The Preta Path's body was seen caught in his hand.
In the next moment, the remaining Pains and Konan's Paper Clone all turned into smoke and vanished from the battlefield; Nagato would not let all his puppets be destroyed in one strike!
In the distant giant tree hollow.
Nagato slowly retracted his palm, gazing grimly at the Preta Path's battered body, and then glanced at the few Pains he had summoned back using Summoning Jutsu, speaking in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Konoha to have such a level Taijutsu master…"
"Hmm…"
Konan nodded with lingering fear in her eyes.
The power and speed exploded by Hirudora earlier were too astonishing, leaving them with not even a moment to react, almost getting destroyed by a single strike!
Truly the strongest Ninja Village in the Ninja World.
Even Taijutsu is decisively different from Taijutsu ninjas of other Ninja Villages!
No, it should be said that those from other Ninja Villages can't even be considered Taijutsu ninjas!
Nagato slowly lowered his head, his red hair hanging down, his voice gradually turning sinister: "In that case, we can't attack them head-on... we must find a way to deal with that powerful Taijutsu ninja, or perhaps eliminate them all in one go."
Nagato's gaze slowly turned to the Asura Path, making a decision: "Plan well, let the Asura Path perish together with them all!"
On the battlefield.
As the air bullet dissipated, a massive crater appeared on the ground, but none of the Pain could be seen anywhere in the area, causing everyone to furrow their brows.
Might Guy's expression was somewhat troubled; unleashing the power of Hirudora drained him greatly, did this move not result in any victory?
"What's going on?"
"Where are they?"
"Could it be they were all destroyed by Mr. Guy's Hirudora?"
"No."
Jiraiya shook his head, quickly analyzing the situation: "Nagato must have anticipated the Pains might suffer damage under the attack of Hirudora and summoned them away in advance."
After speaking, Jiraiya saw the faces of others a bit downcast, softly saying: "But it's not entirely without result; I just saw that we directly destroyed the Pain that can absorb Jutsu with Guy's Jutsu!"
"Whew..."
Might Guy took a deep breath, nodding hurriedly: "That's just right; our numbers are still equal, six against six... so next, I'll handle the opponent Kakashi has to face!"
"Can you manage?"
"Absolutely no problem!"
Might Guy raised his thumb, speaking in a deep and muffled voice: "I will inherit Kakashi's will!"
"Good!"
Jiraiya clasped his hands, nodding gloomily: "Let's go find them now!"
The Memorial Stele in the back mountain of Konoha.
Yakushi Kabuto, Uchiha Obito, and Namikaze Minato dug open Hatake Sakumo's grave, cautiously placing his coffin inside a Sealing Scroll.
Even though it's unclear why Uehara Naraku believes Hatake Sakumo can be reincarnated using Reanimation, although it's already proven impossible, Yakushi Kabuto decided to carry out Uehara Naraku's orders and report the happenings here.
"Lord Naraku, I have followed your instructions and unearthed the body of Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo."
After Yakushi Kabuto finished speaking, he softly continued: "Might Guy's strike almost demolished all the Pains just now, and it seems Lord Nagato plans to retreat a bit; now Konoha's people are searching everywhere for their whereabouts."
After Yakushi Kabuto finished these words, without hearing any reply from Uehara Naraku, he added: "After Guy's burst, the situation doesn't seem favorable for Lord Nagato!"
"…"
Uchiha Obito listened to Yakushi Kabuto with some surprise: "Guy, that guy… has he become this strong now?"
Originally, Uchiha Obito and Might Guy were the underachievers of their class.
Unfortunately, Might Guy seemed somewhat different, managing to beat Uchiha Obito to the ground every Chunin Examination.
Later, after Uchiha Obito obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan, he didn't think much about Might Guy, but he didn't expect Guy hasn't fallen behind too much after all…
Namikaze Minato shook his head, softly expressing admiration: "Ninjas who find and steadfastly walk their own path are bound to become very strong."
"Alright."
Just as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Uehara Naraku's will immediately descended upon him, softly saying: "Kabuto, I know about what you've told me, don't report minor matters before they clash again."
Land of Lightning.
Above The Hidden Cloud Village.
This village is built scattered amongst towering mountains reaching the clouds.
Whether in concealment or defense, it far surpasses other villages; ordinary ninjas find it hard to invade this Ninja Village, contributing to The Hidden Cloud Village's strength.
Uehara Naraku sat atop the Ancient Giant Dragon, slowly raising his fingers, quietly saying: "Alright, prepare to attack The Hidden Cloud Village!"
