The battle was growing increasingly fierce.
The entire battleground had completely descended into chaos.
Konoha Ninja joined the battlefield in an endless stream, only to be killed over and over by the Reanimation Ninja. The Reanimation Beings' traits of infinite chakra and limitless resurrection allowed them to attack recklessly.
Even with Nagato and Uzumaki Naruto, two powerful ninjas fighting together, they still couldn't stem the tide.
Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Obito, and Senju Tobirama, all adept at Space-Time Jutsu, were elusive. Nearly every move they made forced everyone to hurriedly reposition.
This battle brought about a deep sense of despair.
"Hirudora!"
The reanimation body of Might Guy couldn't activate the ultimate secret of Eight Gates Jutsu, but he could easily open Seven Gates. The Secret Technique Taijutsu Hirudora burst forth from him!
An air cannon transformed into a white tiger, sweeping toward Nagato and the others, ready to devour everything in its path!
This scene sent chills down people's spines!
Nagato's expression looked somewhat grim. Previously, while fighting Konoha Ninja, he had been forced to retreat in the face of Hirudora's assault. He didn't expect that even now, side by side with Konoha Ninja, he'd face Hirudora again!
This world was truly absurd!
"Almighty Push!"
Nagato's hands abruptly pushed out a massive repulsive force, utilizing his Rinnegan abilities nearly recklessly to finally repel the enormous white tiger air cannon!
After driving back Hirudora, Nagato turned to Uzumaki Naruto beside him: "Naruto, now there's a long cooldown before I can use Almighty Push again..."
"Understood."
Uzumaki Naruto nodded solemnly, watching Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Obito, Senju Tobirama, and Wu on the opposite side, certain that they wouldn't miss this opportunity!
Konan's figure drifted down from the sky, surrounded by floating paper bombs, ready to sweep toward the enemy any moment!
Unfortunately, if her jutsu were fully unleashed, its power would be too strong; she had to restrain her impulse temporarily to avoid the paper bombs hurting allied forces.
"We must find a way to deal with Yakushi Kabuto and Uchiha Obito."
Konan looked at the enemies present and continued gravely: "If things continue like this, we will soon be defeated between our dwindling chakra and these Reanimation Ninja!"
"Then let's break through them!"
Uzumaki Naruto fiercely struck with a Rasengan, forcing Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama back before flash-stepping toward Yakushi Kabuto!
Unfortunately, just as Uzumaki Naruto charged forward, he was intercepted once more by his father, Namikaze Minato!
"Even if we deal with Yakushi Kabuto, it won't solve the problem..."
Tsunade shook her head, watching everyone present, speaking solemnly: "Because some of these Reanimation Beings are likely under Orochimaru's control, we need to first seal these Reanimation Ninja..."
"But..."
Uzumaki Naruto turned to the sealing squad ninjas who had fallen, looking distressed: "But those comrades from the sealing team have all been killed by Dad and the others!"
As soon as the sealing squad rushed in, they would be killed by Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama, their speed leaving no time for others to prevent it from happening!
Tsunade shook her head, speaking solemnly: "It's okay. I've also studied Fuinjutsu and methods to break the Reanimation Jutsu, and can try sealing the enemies. The only issue is controlling them..."
This was the most troublesome part.
To date, their sole instance of breaking through Reanimation Jutsu was Nagato using Almighty Push to destroy Senju Tobirama once—an opportunity that hadn't arisen since.
It seemed that Yakushi Kabuto was well aware of this secret, only ever engaging them in prolonged skirmishes.
As everyone felt helpless, a voice emerged at their sides: "If you need Fuinjutsu, I've also studied some sealing techniques from The Hidden Sand Village and might be able to help restrict their movements..."
It was Fifth Kazekage Gaara and Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, who had arrived at the battlefield, along with Rock Lee appearing alongside them.
After arriving at the battlefield, they quickly gleaned the situational overview from bewildered Konoha Ninja and understood that Nagato and Konan were temporarily allies.
Admittedly, it was initially hard for them to accept.
But upon seeing Uchiha Obito and a group of Reanimation Ninja suppressing Uzumaki Naruto, Nagato, and others, they understood now wasn't the time for disputes.
Even Nagato, who could single-handedly suppress all of them, was at a disadvantage in this battle, often narrowly escaping danger. Evidently, these enemies were incomprehensibly strong!
They had to defeat their common enemy now!
That was Yakushi Kabuto's Reanimation squad and Uchiha Obito, the cunning mastermind lurking behind.
Seeing reinforcements arrived, Uzumaki Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Now at least we won't be at a numerical disadvantage..."
"No."
Tsunade's expression turned grave again.
Her gaze pierced into Yakushi Kabuto as she spoke solemnly: "Over the years, Orochimaru surely didn't pass up gathering the remains of those powerful ninjas—he undoubtedly has contingencies!"
