"Bastard!"
When Tsunade saw Obito summon his two grandfathers, the First and Second Hokage, she instantly became furious, ignoring Uchiha Madara in the process.
"Senjutsu!"
In an instant, Tsunade activated her Sage Mode, with the sage markings appearing on her face, and her aura surged dramatically.
"So Tsunade has even learned Senjutsu, impressive," remarked the First Hokage, Hashirama, laughing heartily at his granddaughter's prowess. However, his body uncontrollably rushed towards Tsunade.
"Madara, be careful!"
Just then, Hashirama exclaimed in shock as a black Tailed Beast Bomb swept in, blasting through the walls of Konoha with a thunderous explosion.
Hashirama, Tobirama, and Uchiha Madara were hurled out of the village by the force of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Lady Tsunade!"
"Karin!"
Rushing to the scene was Uzumaki Karin, who had undergone a significant transformation, radiating in golden light, clearly in the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
"Stop these old guys in their coffins from entering Konoha, the aftermath of the battle would be too great."
"Understood."
Tsunade stood atop a giant wooden figure, joining forces with Karin to head out of the village, clearly intending to keep the battlefield outside the village limits.
While Tsunade had confidently faced the Tailed Beast Six Paths before, she now faced her two grandfathers and the ninja world's Asura, Uchiha Madara, a significantly more challenging trio.
Thus, she chose to join forces with the arriving reinforcement, Karin.
"Yamato, you hold off these beasts."
Hearing this, Yamato, a Wood Release user, turned pale, his dead fish eyes staring at the six Tailed Beast transformed enemies outside the village, his legs going weak.
Although he had been specially trained over the years and had Wood Release cells re-injected with Orochimaru's help, boosting his strength, facing six Tailed Beasts was a daunting task.
Wood Release: Piercing Tree
Despite the odds, Yamato immediately launched an attack, managing to push the six Tailed Beasts outside the village before they could react.
"Send the signal!"
Knowing he was no match, Yamato hurriedly sent a signal, which was spotted by the distant police force.
"Uchiha of the Police Force with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, don't let the enemy take a single step into the village!"
Roar!
Pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes belonging to the elite Uchiha clan members appeared outside the village, moving swiftly through the trees.
Seeing thirteen powerful Uchiha clan members with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Yamato smiled.
"Be careful, the enemy this time are puppets controlled by Uchiha Obito, all transformed into Tailed Beasts. Our mission is to hold them back."
"Yes!"
If we talk about defeating the enemy, it might cause a lot of casualties, but if we just talk about holding them off, everyone suddenly gains confidence.
Boom boom~
Inside the Village of Konoha, there's a booming sound, but this time most of the enemies are kept at the village's edge, with some fighting just outside the village.
Aburame Torune frowned during the battle, saying, "The enemy is either an Edo Tensei body or a puppet, my nano-poison bugs are almost useless."
And Yamanaka Fu calmly said, "You and I should help, don't let the enemy get too wild. Once most of them react, they won't be able to escape."
"Humph, how dare you disturb Lord Yoru, you all deserve to die!"
Just as a Tailed Beast Bomb was about to blast into the village, a pink world suddenly appeared.
Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth
In an instant, a huge barrier appeared, created by Guren, trapping the Three-Tails' Jinchuriki Yagura.
"That's great!" Yamato couldn't help but smile at the sight of reinforcements.
Four Violet Flames Formation
A purple barrier rose instantly, sealing away the Seven-Tails' Jinchuriki Fū, performed by the Sound Four, who then activated their cursed seals with smiles.
Konoha began its counterattack.
For this enemy, Konoha first targeted the Jinchuriki with powerful ninjutsu, as a single ninjutsu could be like a map cannon, with terrifying destructive power.
The Jinchuriki were temporarily held outside the village, but the Edo Tensei enemies who entered the village were troublesome.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Asuma, the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, and Nara Shikamaru, nine people in total.
"We can't let the Jinchuriki enter the village."
Terumī Mei frowned at the sight of the enemies, especially when she saw the huge wooden figure making a rumbling noise in the distance, and shouted, "Let's help Tsunade. The main focus for the Edo Tensei bodies should be sealing."
"Yes!" The Konoha Jonin around her shouted in response.
For a while, the village entrance of Konoha was engulfed in smoke, with Itachi alone holding off the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Second Mizukage.
Sasuke and the other Konoha Jonin were having a hard time against the Third Hokage Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Asuma, and Nara Shikamaru.
Inside a secret base in Konoha, Orochimaru's golden snake eyes shone with madness.
"Soon! Very soon!"
Then, as the village rumbled, Orochimaru, unusually, showed anger, with murderous intent emerging from his snake-like eyes.
Usually, even if you beat up Orochimaru, he wouldn't hold a grudge, because there's no need, but if you disturb or even affect his research, especially at this critical time, that's a different story.
In the dark, huge chamber, Uchiha Yoru's body was stiff, only his eyes could move, and the Gedo Statue he was cultivating had already been sealed inside his body.
He was now devouring this cultivated Gedo Statue, instead of sealing it to become a Jinchuriki.
"Teacher, help me find a few good bodies."
During this critical period, Uchiha Yoru was quite annoyed to be disturbed, and Orochimaru immediately showed a smile upon hearing this.
"Hehe, it happens that I also want to see the power of the legendary Rinnegan."
Letting Orochimaru fight is not impossible, but currently, he needs to keep an eye on the evolution of the most perfect work of art, so he will not go to battle.
"Lord Yoru, these corpses have been carefully cultivated by me, perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
A moment later, a large snake appeared in front of them, coiling around several corpses pulled out from the cultivation vessels, each corpse covered in sticky liquid.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes, "Well, these are indeed decent corpses."
Although there are not many corpses, only four, each one has been injected with Wood Release cells, indeed a rare and precious experimental subject.
Konoha Village.
Boom~ The battle is raging on the edge of the village. With the Barrier Team activating a powerful defensive barrier, a huge egg-shaped barrier shield appears over and under Konoha, completely isolating the village.
With the appearance of the barrier, the battle outside the village becomes more intense. Tsunade unleashes her power, riding a giant wooden figure to fight alongside Uzumaki Karin against her two grandfathers and Uchiha Madara.
Inside the village, during the intense battle, suddenly four figures, each with black metal rods sticking out of their bodies, appeared.
When these four appeared on the battlefield, Hiruzen was tearful, while Asuma and Danzo were filled with rage.
These four people, indifferent and merciless, are respectively Deva Path Danzo, Preta Path Asuma, Animal Path Konohamaru, and Asura Path Enma.
"'The evil Uchiha even cultivated my body!'
Danzo almost collapsed, roaring in anger, but he was facing his own cultivated six-path puppets.
Deva Path Danzo, with Rinnegan in his eyes, coldly raised his hand and shouted, "Danzo, let you feel the power of God."
Bansho Ten'in.
In an instant, Danzo's body uncontrollably got sucked over, and from a distance, Hiruzen hurriedly formed seals and slammed the ground.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the 'Professor of Ninjutsu', uses an ordinary defense technique called Earth Style Wall, which is usually a wall of earth, but in his hands, it becomes a hard wall of bluestone.
Instantly, a solid stone wall rose, appearing between Deva Path Danzo, and the Edo Tensei Danzo smashed directly into the stone wall.
Summoning Jutsu.
At this moment, Animal Path Konohamaru leaped in the woods, quickly forming a seal, and instantly summoning various summoning beasts.
First was Danzo's summoning beast, the Baku, then the Sarutobi clan's monkeys, followed by Hell Crabs, Chameleons, Hellhounds, Yatagarasu, Bulls, Stone Pandas, and a series of other summoning beasts.
"Konohamaru!"
Seeing the indifferent Konohamaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen wept bitterly; his grandson had now become a cold and merciless puppet.
And Animal Path Konohamaru coldly said, "Sarutobi old thief, your grandson had already become a rogue ninja, and was killed by Naruto and your son Asuma. Now that you attack Konoha, your grandson's body can be put to use."
Boom~
At this moment, Enma's robust body appeared behind Hiruzen, and with powerful taijutsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only defend in a sorry state.
"Enma!"
After seeing the transformation of Enma into this form, Hiruzen was overwhelmed with tears.
Enma's body was already strong, but after being transformed into the Asura Path, he became even more formidable, especially his iron fists were incomparably powerful.
Due to limited time, he was not made into a puppet like Pain was at that time, and the mechanisms on his body were not yet modified.
"Become the Ruyi Jingu Bang!"
Just then, Enma suddenly transformed, becoming a sturdy, thick staff, which ultimately fell into the hands of Asuma.
The towering figure of the Preta Path, Asuma, wielding the golden staff, looked imposing as he repeatedly defeated Hiruzen.
Although the situation seemed to be reversing, this delighted Uchiha Obito, who was watching from the shadows through his Edo Tensei body, revealing an ecstatic expression.
"Haha, Uchiha Yoru is indeed using the Hashirama cells to awaken the Rinnegan, but he has not fully awakened it yet, haha!"
Uchiha Yoru did not appear in person, but the appearance of the Rinnegan in the four puppets proved one thing: he had awakened the Rinnegan.
However, the power of these four compared to Uchiha Yoru himself was far from equal, which was the reason for Uchiha Obito's joy.
"Haha, even if you, Uchiha Yoru, have awakened the Rinnegan, the power of the Hashirama cells is not so easily obtained."
Sealing Jutsu: Tiger Vision Staring Bullet
"No! Evil Uchiha! How can you possess the Rinnegan!"
Confronting the power of the Deva Path, Danzo felt deeply aggrieved, completely on the receiving end of the beating. While being pinned down by his own, the Deva Path Danzo, a hidden Anbu ninja, Sai, appeared.
With a sealing jutsu, a tiger from an ink painting appeared with a roar, biting Danzo and then sealing him back into the scroll.
Inside the scroll, Danzo looked extremely aggrieved, pinned down by the paw of the tiger, roaring unwillingly.
Lightning Release: Chidori
With the pressure greatly reduced, Uchiha Sasuke demonstrated his might, overpowering the likes of Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Asuma, and Nara Shikamaru.
"How is this possible, you've become stronger so quickly!"
As someone who had just fought him, Asuma was shocked, while Uchiha Sasuke showed a mocking smile.
"How could you understand the power of the Uchiha? Last time, I was just testing the capabilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan."
As he said this, Uchiha Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan focused on Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, coldly saying, "Both of you old men died, yet you still come out."
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were filled with frustration, having died two years earlier, but questioning the Uchiha's knowledge of their deaths.
"I'm not in the mood to play with you anymore."
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Sasuke showed a solemn expression. The curse mark on his neck heated up instantly, covering his body with its pattern, as he entered the cursed seal mode.
"Be ready to seal at any moment!"
After shouting this to the supporting ninjas around him, Uchiha Sasuke transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward.
Thunderous battles continued to unfold.
"Young man, you are strong, especially your eyes. I can feel that you are not fighting with full strength," said the mustached Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, laughing mischievously, along with the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who was also engaged in conversation, acknowledging the changes over the past three years.
Particularly upon hearing that Gaara was considered the Sixth Kazekage, he was filled with satisfaction.
Only the Third Raikage fought with all his might, launching an attack with a roar, knowing well that the ninja world and Cloud Village were currently facing pressure from Konoha.
The Third Raikage's terrifying strength was formidable, with his strongest spear, Hell Stab: One Finger Nukite, and his strongest shield, the Raiton Armor, making him akin to a humanoid tailed beast.
Although Uchiha Itachi had reached the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan state, he did not want to reveal it, as the situation was already under control.
Similarly, Uchiha Itachi, being an illusion and ninjutsu type ninja, was starkly different from the Third Raikage, who was more like a combination of an assasin and a warrior, leading to an intensely fierce battle.
Outside the village, the earth shook and the sky trembled, as if to destroy everything.
Wood Release: True Thousand Hands
Wood Release: True Thousand Hands
Two Buddha statues, one large and one small, collided. One was clad in Susanoo armor, and the other was noticeably larger.
Clearly, the larger one belonged to Tsunade, while the one in Susanoo armor was a joint effort by Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
After all, both were reincarnated through Edo Tensei, and to prevent this forbidden jutsu from being broken, Obito weakened their powers. Thus, the combined effort of the two barely matched Tsunade and Karin, even being somewhat suppressed.
As for Tobirama, he was being dealt with at a distance by Terumi and Pakura.
