" Fourth Hokage!!!"
Namikaze Minato had just arrived, surprising everyone on the rooftop. After exchanging greetings with Tsunade, Minato smiled and communicated with Ryan. Ryan was also surprised to learn that Minato had already dealt with the Third Hokage and Danzo in his world. The speed at which Minato acted was truly remarkable.
There sure are some perks to being the fastest ninja in the world.
Kakashi and the others, witnessing the arrival of Namikaze Minato, now fully believed in Tsunade's ability to bring Hokage from other worlds to help. After all their Fourth Hokage Minato is long dead.
The situation seemed unbelievable but also outrageous.
However, the most shocking moment was yet to come. Two more figures emerged from the colourful light gate. This time, the shock surpassed anything they had experienced before.
"The First... First Hokage?!"
"And the Second Hokage!!!"
"Oh, my God! The god of Shinobi The First Hokage and Second Hokage are here!"
"They aren't reanimated again are they?"
The rooftop was filled with disbelief and astonishment. The sight of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama walking out of the light gate left everyone speechless. Tsunade had managed to bring not only the current Hokage but also the previous ones from other worlds. The magnitude of this accomplishment was mind-boggling.
Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, after examining their surroundings and ensuring nothing was amiss, turned their attention to Pain in the air.
The intense aura emanating from the First Hokage and Second Hokage caused the ground to crack, further adding to the shock and awe.
Kakashi and the others finally realized that the First Hokage and Second Hokage summoned by Orochimaru were most likely imposters compared to the real ones standing before them now. The stark contrast in power was undeniable.
Tendo Pain, witnessing the sudden arrival of four individuals in Hokage robes, including two legendary Hokage, became utterly confused.
This unexpected turn of events exposed a blind spot in Pain's knowledge as he invaded Konoha. He remained motionless in the air, unable to comprehend the situation.
He even wondered that Orochimaru had returned to Konoha but the Hokages weren't reanimated. And they were stronger than Orochimaru himself to be controlled by him.
Nagato, recovering from the initial shock, brushed off the surprise. No matter what tricks Konoha employed, he could no longer afford to pay attention to them. His top priority was capturing the Nine-Tails.
"In front of god, this petty trick doesn't matter."
"It's time for you to experience real pain! From now on, the world shall know pain!" Tendo Pain declared as he took to the sky in the centre of Konoha Village. With his final words, his chakra condensed instantly.
Meanwhile, Ryan and the others took action to support Tsunade. Since they had come to help, they were determined to settle the matter. After exchanging glances, the four of them—Ryan, Minato, Hashirama, and Tobirama—rushed towards Tendo Pain, utilizing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Within an instant, they appeared in the four directions below Tendo Pain, forming the Four Red Yang Formation. The formation's red, transparent flame wall rose rapidly, enveloping Tendo Pain before he could unleash his Super Shinra Tensei. The speed was so astonishing that Pain couldn't react.
Pain launched his strongest Shinra Tensei, but to his surprise, it didn't break through the Four Red Yang Formation.
The Shinra Tensei didn't even cause a ripple in the formidable defence. It was as if a stone had sunk into the ocean, having no effect.
Nagato, controlling Tendo Pain, stared blankly at the Four Red Yang Formation. On the rooftop, Kakashi and the others were equally astonished by the Hokages' strength.
"Is this the power of the Hokage? It's absolutely terrifying!"
"His strongest attack had no impact whatsoever?"
"Oh my god!"
The shock and disbelief among the onlookers were palpable. The Hokages—Ryan, Minato, Hashirama, and Tobirama—had entered their Sage mode, their true power unleashed. At this moment, Nagato was dumbfounded, unable to catch his breath.
Realizing that the Reanimate Hokages summoned by Orochimaru were no match for the real ones, Nagato's mind was in chaos. However, he quickly regained his composure. And all of them were using sage mode.
Ironic isn't it the last person with Rinnegan and God complex was also defeated with the help of Sage mode thousands of years ago and even in future...
"What a boring trick! No matter how many of you come, it doesn't matter anymore!"
Nagato's focus now was on capturing the Nine-Tails. While he and Konan prepared to retreat, he controlled Pain's Six Paths, including his own body.
"Go!"
As Nagato and Konan hurriedly evacuated, the three Hokage, who had activated their Sage techniques, quickly locked onto Nagato's position. Just as they were about to pursue.
Ryan said to Minato, "Minato, go find Tsunade and bring Naruto here. This time, you're going to meet your son. Let's chase the enemy first, and Naruto is essential for a perfect resolution. I have your special kunai; activate the Flying Thunder God when the time comes!"
Though puzzled, Minato promptly agreed, and then the three Hokages swiftly pursued Nagato's direction.
