The wind was somewhat restless.
Four reanimated ninjas of varying heights stood in front of Uehara.
Every ninja present saw the four reanimated ninjas suddenly standing before Uehara Naraku, and cold sweat naturally dripped down their faces.
"Our enemy..."
A Konoha Ninja tightened their grip on the kunai in their hand, staring at those four figures, muttering unconsciously: "Is it... the previous Hokages?"
Is this a joke?
How could they possibly be rivals for the previous Hokages!
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!
The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!
The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato!
The previous Hokages have arrived!
Every single one of the previous Hokages had once shifted the balance of the Ninja World. Any of their names alone could shock everyone present!
Even Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato, who are slightly less prominent, have showcased their formidable strengths in this Ninja World War.
"These are my treasured possessions."
Uehara Naraku glanced at the four Hokages in front of him, a smirk forming at his lips: "After all, aside from the previous Hokages, collecting others doesn't hold much meaning..."
Indeed.
Uehara Naraku is very selective.
Besides the previous Hokages, only Uchiha Obito has the qualification to become his collection piece; the other Kages do not have the privilege to enter.
Not only were all the ninjas present shocked by their enemies, but even Uchiha Madara at the side couldn't help but have his eyes twitch. He couldn't resist asking, "Hashirama, can't you break free from the control of the Reanimation Jutsu?"
After all, besides Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara doesn't regard the other Hokages.
Upon hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Senju Hashirama instinctively turned his head, only then realizing his old friend was also here.
Senju Hashirama somewhat helplessly scratched his head, glanced at Uehara Naraku, and said: "This kid has quite a lot of chakra... hahahaha... really not very lucky here too, meeting you, Madara. Are you also reanimated by him?"
"No."
Uchiha Madara laughed disdainfully, revealing a complicated expression on his face: "I don't care about the control of the Reanimation Jutsu at all! Hashirama, I'm not just revived by the Reanimation Jutsu; soon, I will be truly resurrected!"
To be honest.
Uchiha Madara's heart was a bit uncomfortable.
Because in Uchiha Madara's mind, someone like Senju Hashirama absolutely could not be controlled by others; this situation was rather disgraceful!
To speak honestly again.
Uchiha Madara also felt a bit pleased.
Because even someone like Senju Hashirama was controlled by someone? And this time, he has to stand by his side, to buy time for Madara's resurrection?
This feeling is somewhat satisfying to think about.
"..."
Uehara Naraku speechlessly glanced at Uchiha Madara.
This guy seemed a bit smug?
If it weren't for knowing that controlling Uchiha Madara is a waste of effort, how could Uehara Naraku let Uchiha Madara be reanimated by Yakushi Kabuto and lose control?
With Uehara Naraku's current power, using the Reanimation Jutsu to control Uchiha Madara isn't actually a particularly difficult matter, except for certain potential risks.
Uchiha Madara knows how to break free from the control of Reanimation Jutsu...
Unless Uehara Naraku continually controls Uchiha Madara's actions, even extinguishes his consciousness, this issue wouldn't be too difficult.
Because after defeating Orochimaru, a progress task was completed.
Progress Task 6: Kill a Six Paths Ninja (1/1), task completed, reward: Life Energy 1000000 points, Chakra Energy 1000000 points, Natural Energy 1000000 points, Full Attribute Recovery Effect increased by 50%, Truth-Seeking Ball limit raised to 9.
This reward...
It's indescribably wonderful.
Name: Uehara Naraku
Life Energy: 1655311 (Standard Mode)
Chakra Energy: 1655770
Natural Energy: 1655770
Life Energy Recovery: 1296 points/second
Chakra Energy Recovery: 648 points/second
Natural Energy Extraction: 648 points/second
Skill Cooldown Reduction: 100%
Remaining Gold Coins: 9630
With the activation of Sage Mode now, increasing life power tenfold, Uehara Naraku's life energy directly surged beyond sixteen million!
Although Uehara Naraku's current Sage Chakra is only over one million six hundred thousand, it is not something Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara can resist...
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku interrupted Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara's intention of chatting, pointing to the countless ninja alliance clothed in Nine-tailed Chakra before them, and yelled: "There's no time for chit-chat now, go ahead, show me the meaning of resurrecting you!"
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looking at each familiar face: "The purpose of resurrecting us is to make us fight against our former comrades?"
"What else?"
Uehara Naraku looked at them with an innocent expression.
The way he spoke made it sound so reasonable that one couldn't help but want to pummel him!
Even Uchiha Madara, the villain beside him, found it a bit unbearable, and couldn't stop twitching his eye.
To be honest, Uchiha Madara thought his own character was quite vile.
Unexpectedly, today, Uchiha Madara saw someone redefine the limits of malignance.
"Go!"
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, watching the four Hokage charge towards the tens of thousands of Ninja Alliance dressed in Tailed Beast Cloaks, his voice rising: "Let them witness the might of their forebears!"
Ninjas were sent flying under the assault of the four Hokage!
Even though they had tens of thousands of ninjas and wore Nine-tailed Chakra Armor, they couldn't withstand the might of the past Hokage!
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
A series of vine roots spread out from the feet of Senju Hashirama!
A vast forest gradually emerged on the battlefield!
This Wood Release Ninjutsu, which had appeared several times today, was unleashed by its creator, and every vine and root, under Senju Hashirama's control, accurately struck down each ninja posing the greatest threat to the four Hokage!
Senju Tobirama's figure darted past several ninjas, leaping onto a large tree, and spewed forth a torrent of water!
"Water Release: Great Bursting Water Wave!"
Suddenly, a massive lake appeared in the sky, descending to flood the entire forest in an instant, with waves sweeping towards the Ninja Alliance!
Senju Tobirama, once hailed as the fastest, was also the man who once held the title of the strongest Water Release!
"Lighting Realease: Thunderous Roar!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen clasped his hands forming hand seals and spat lightning to the lake surface, instantly sending electric sparks flying across the water, causing the ninjas to scream in agony, floating on the surface!
Just as a Hidden Cloud Ninja attempted to form hand seals to summon thunder, a Flying Thunder God Kunai suddenly appeared beside him!
The next moment, a golden flash appeared!
"Rasengan!"
Namikaze Minato's figure flickered with the flash, striking a Rasengan that sent the Hidden Cloud Ninja flying!
Having lost the Yin Nine-tailed from his body, Namikaze Minato's combat power clearly declined more than a level, only able to rely on his Flying Thunder God Jutsu to continuously attack powerful ninjas.
The moment the four Hokage appeared, they almost immediately halted the advance of the Ninja Alliance, even gaining the upper hand!
Among the Ninja Alliance, although they had just been empowered by the Nine-tailed Chakra, facing the past Hokage, their hearts felt a twinge of unease...
"Don't mind the enemy's identity!"
Tsunade swung her fist, smashing the oncoming vine roots with each punch, loudly declaring: "Every Hokage of the past was my relative and friend, but now... they have become my enemies!"
"Everyone! Please listen to me!"
Uzumaki Naruto's voice suddenly echoed across the land, resonating in everyone's heart, his heartfelt words transmitted through the Nine-tailed Chakra into everyone's mind!
"All the past Hokage sacrificed themselves to protect Konoha..."
Uzumaki Naruto looked at the ravaging four Hokage in the distance, loudly proclaiming: "What they most want to see now is definitely not our respect and fear, but for us to seal them away and protect this world, that's what they truly desire!"
"Well said, Naruto!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, not holding back in his attacks, loudly declared: "Indeed, if we can sacrifice for this world, even if our souls are destroyed, it doesn't matter!"
"..."
Uzumaki Naruto's expression was slightly awkward.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made everyone present momentarily pause.
A moment later, a ninja suddenly shouted: "...Lord Third Hokage, please don't say such high-sounding words! You were the one who orchestrated the death of Lord Fourth Hokage, almost bringing our village to ruin!"
Because of one of Uehara Naraku's actions.
To this day, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation is still tarnished.
Whether it was orchestrating Uchiha Obito to kill the Fourth Hokage couple, causing the Nine-tailed Fox Chaos, or secretly manipulating Uzumaki Naruto to remain loyal to himself to consolidate power.
These matters have essentially become widely known.
"Everyone, don't listen to the rumors!"
Namikaze Minato's voice also resounded across the battlefield, loudly speaking: "The Nine-tailed Fox Chaos had nothing to do with Lord Third Hokage because Lord Biwako, the Third's wife, also perished in that turmoil!"
Namikaze Minato, fighting and trying to explain for the Third Hokage, appeared quite pitiable.
Jiraiya shook his head and sighed, then darted to face Sarutobi Hiruzen, challenging his teacher again: "Old man, your reputation is still so bad... By the way, who exactly was the orphan Anbu that always watched over Naruto?"
"What?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat confused; he still didn't understand what orphan Anbu meant. Regardless, he couldn't possibly divulge information about a fictitious character that Yakushi Kabuto invented.
While fighting Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen replied: "I still don't know what you're talking about, but if someone secretly monitored Naruto without my knowledge, it had to be Danzo's doing!"
"..."
That statement...
Somehow, it seems plausible!
