"What's going on?"
Looking at the large open space not far ahead, Kitsuchi felt very confused.
The information about the Rinnegan appeared on the desks of the other four Kages after Pain's invasion of Konoha.
As the leader of the second unit, Kitsuchi naturally knew about the Rinnegan's information.
But the reason he felt confused was that he also knew that the Rinnegan's owner was an enemy, not an ally.
"Neji, you're a Konoha ninja. Do you know who this person is?"
A single Shinra Tensei took care of a lot of White Zetsu, instantly cooling down the previously intense battle.
In the sky, a full-power Shinra Tensei completely destroyed this impure reanimation body.
At this moment, watching the reanimated body begin to reform, Hyūga Neji shook his head and replied, "No, I don't know this person."
It would be strange if Neji knew this person.
He was a genius of the Hyūga branch family and didn't have the time to pay attention to any death row prisoners in prison.
"Looks like this person was reanimated, right? Does Konoha still have anyone who can use this jutsu?"
Neji thought for a moment.
Since Konoha was founded, there were only two or three people who could use Reanimation Jutsu.
Among them, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, should be out of the question.
The former had been dead for many years.
The latter is a rogue ninja, not to mention that he was recently killed by Uchiha Sasuke.
Aside from these two, he couldn't think of anyone else who could be using the Reanimation Jutsu.
"Sorry, I don't know."
Seeing that Neji genuinely didn't know, Kitsuchi nodded and didn't say anything more.
On the other hand, Akatsuchi, speaking in a carefree manner, said, "Why bother so much? All we need to know is that the ninja resurrected by Reanimation Jutsu is from our side."
"You're right."
Kitsuchi chuckled and quickly dismissed any other thoughts.
The most important task right now was to take down these White Zetsu in front of them.
At the Allied Forces headquarters, Orochimaru, who was controlling a Reanimated body and had just used Shinra Tensei, was somewhat disappointed with its power.
"Tch, I used Shinra Tensei to its maximum potential, and this is all the power it has?"
The Reanimated body had already begun to break apart on its own. Just how powerful was this output, really?
"Compared to Pain, who destroyed the entire Konoha with a single move, using it with a Reanimated body feels no different than how Pain uses it normally."
"Well~ Anyway, these are just defective Reanimated bodies. With this kind of power, I guess it's still passable."
If the full power of Shinra Tensei was something Orochimaru could barely accept, the speed at which it absorbed chakra was a huge letdown for him.
It wasn't that he expected the Reanimated body to absorb chakra as quickly as Preta Path, but the speed at which it absorbed chakra was as slow as an elderly grandmother walking at the age of 100.
It wasn't just slow—it was incredibly slow.
"At least the other abilities seem to be okay. Otherwise, these ten Reanimated body with Rinnegan would be too useless."
On the battlefield ahead, the first division led by Darui encountered a combined force of Reanimated ninjas controlled by Kabuto and White Zetsu.
As soon as they made contact, the first squad suffered a major setback when facing the brothers, Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
Samui's younger brother, Atsui, was quickly sucked into the red gourd by Kinkaku.
Darui tried to launch a rescue, but he was also targeted by the brothers. Not only did he fail to save Atsui, but Samui was also sucked into the red gourd.
"You can't say your catchphrase, or you'll be sucked into the gourd."
"And you can't stay silent for too long, or you'll be sucked in as well."
"Tch, this is really troublesome."
Just as Darui was wondering what to do, a huge shadow descended from the sky, crushing Kinkaku beneath it.
"Kinkaku!"
Ginkaku roared, and immediately began attacking the massive creature that had fallen from the sky.
"What is going on?"
Darui's face showed shock as, from his angle, he could clearly see the creature's eyes—a being that seemed part pig, part cow.
Those rings in its eyes—yes, they were the Rinnegan.
"Boom~"
Under Ginkaku's attack, the creature with the Rinnegan couldn't hold out for long and turned into a puff of smoke.
"Almighty Push."
From the smoke, a deep voice echoed.
Then, the red gourd, controlled by Kinkaku, started flying uncontrollably toward the smoke.
"Bastard~"
Still recovering, Kinkaku rushed forward, trying to get ahead of the mysterious enemy to seize the red gourd before it fell into the wrong hands.
"Don't even think about it."
At this moment, Darui also realized what was happening.
Who cares what the Rinnegan is all about? From the situation, it seems this mysterious person must be on our side.
So why bother with all that? Just act and get it done.
"Storm Release: Pressure Lock"
Multiple powerful lasers appeared from Darui's hands and shot toward Ginkaku.
Seeing that he was just a little bit away from taking the red gourd back, Ginkaku naturally didn't want to give up.
But if he didn't give up, he would surely be hit by Darui's attack.
Kinkaku was still recovering, and if he lost his ability to move again, then the two brothers would probably be done for.
"Damn it."
Reluctantly, Ginkaku had to give up on the red gourd and shifted to dodge.
"It's not over yet."
"Lightning Release: Black Panther Strike"
Black lightning appeared, transforming into a ferocious black panther that charged toward Ginkaku.
After dodging the Storm Release, Ginkaku showed a slight sneer.
"An attack like this, do you think it can hit me?"
"If it really hits me, I'll..."
Before he could finish his sentence, two Reanimated ninjas with Rinnegan suddenly appeared on Ginkaku's right side.
At this moment, Ginkaku had already started moving to the left to dodge the black lightning.
He had calculated it, and with his speed, he could successfully avoid the attack.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the two Rinnegan Reanimated ninjas ruined his plan to dodge.
"Almighty Pull"
Orochimaru, fearing that one Almighty Pull wouldn't be enough to pull Ginkaku over, decided to use both Reanimated ninjas to activate the technique together.
Although the suction force still couldn't reach the level where one plus one equals two, it was much stronger than the suction produced by a single Reanimated body.
It was precisely due to Orochimaru's caution that he managed to pull back Ginkaku, who was trying to dodge to the left.
In Ginkaku's incredulous gaze, it collided head-on with black lightning.
"Sealing team!"
With one strike of black lightning, Ginkaku was shattered and sealed.
Darui did not delay and immediately called out loudly for the sealing team.
At this moment, Kinkaku had just recovered.
Seeing Ginkaku successfully sealed, the enraged Kinkaku let out a furious roar: "You bastards, how dare you..."
As his anger exploded, Kinkaku's body began to emit a violent red chakra.
"Is this... the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
