Rumble~
In the outskirts of Konoha and the area outside the village are engulfed in continuous warfare, especially outside the village where it's practically a war of giants.
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, unleashes her full power with her Sage Art combined with Wood Release, terrifyingly powerful. With the assistance of Uzumaki Karin in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, they started to gradually suppress the First Hokage, Senjus Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara.
“Not bad, little Tsuna,” Hashirama, although controlled in battle, shows no anger but instead laughs heartily, advising his granddaughter on how to use Wood Release Jutsu.
“Madara, do you see? My granddaughter Tsuna has grown so much. Her Wood Release Jutsu is almost as good as mine used to be.”
“Madara, look at tsuna's incredible strength, even stronger than mine.”
“Madara, look how impressive little Tsuna is…”
Hashirama keeps talking non-stop, which annoys Madara.
“Hashirama!”
With a grim face, Madara suddenly looks towards the direction of the Hokage Rock, recalling something, and as Hashirama is about to say, “Madara, look at…”
Before Hashirama can finish, Madara coldly interrupts, “The Uchiha descendants have married three of the Fifth generation!”
“Cough cough!” Hashirama is taken aback, and Madara adds coldly, “The Senju clan of Konoha is declining, while the Uchiha clan is thriving.”
“Hashirama, the Uchiha descendants, known as the gods of the ninja world, have united the Sand and Mist villages, marrying the leaders of these villages, including your beloved Fifth Hokage Tsunade.”
Hashirama is left speechless, wanting to say something but finding no words.
Madara finally feels the satisfaction Hashirama felt earlier, like drinking a bucket of ice-cola on a hot summer day, so refreshing!
Even though he's a reanimated corpse and can't physically feel it, he is delighted.
In an instant, Madara's lips curl into a smile, “Hashirama, the Uchiha descendants have turned our clan into the number one powerhouse of the ninja world.”
Now, Madara is just showing off, leaving Hashirama with no comeback.
After all, the Senju clan has almost faded away. Just when a promising granddaughter Tsunade emerged, even awakening Wood Release, it turns out to be a setback because of the Uchiha youngster.
“No, Madara, it was my Tsuna who took advantage of your Uchiha youngster. She's much older, clearly taking advantage of him.”
Hashirama, feeling wronged, tries to find a weak excuse to turn the tables, but Madara just scoffs.
“Is that so? The Uchiha youngsters have married three Kages, and united three great ninja villages. They have many women, all starting as elite ninjas.”
Madara snorted with contempt, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan eyes filled with mocking laughter.
Meanwhile, Tsunade, standing atop the wooden figure, grew furious at the two long-dead old men who were increasingly mocking her.
With her blonde hair fluttering, Tsunade angrily shouted, "You two old men crawled out from your graves just to mock others!"
"Don't be angry, Tsuna," Hashirama Senju tried to say, but Tsunade, in a fit of rage, yelled back, "Shut up!"
Madara, seeing Tsunade scolding his close friend Hashirama, raised an eyebrow in arrogance and coldly said, "Youngster!"
"Shut up! You old man who went to the grave without even touching a woman!"
Tsunade's fiery retort left Madara looking extremely embarrassed, while Hashirama laughed loudly, teasing, "Haha, Madara, seems like you never even touched a woman's hand till your death."
"Shut up!"
Madara, usually indifferent to what others say, could not tolerate Hashirama's mockery, his face filled with rage.
Diamond Sealing Chains
Just then, golden chains appeared, binding both Madara and Hashirama's jointly created Susanoo-clad wooden figure.
"Sealing Jutsu!"
Caught off guard, Madara frowned, sensing the girl behind him. Noticing her red hair, he said, "Is it the Uzumaki clan!"
"Haha, it's the Uzumaki clan's Diamond Sealing Chains. Last time I saw this was with Mito."
Hashirama laughed heartily.
Taking the opportunity to release the unique sealing jutsu of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Karin in her Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, glowing golden, smiled and called out, "Lady Tsunade, now's our chance to seal these two seniors."
"Got it!"
Tsunade, well aware of the strategy 'strike while the enemy is weak', knew that even though the Edo Tensei hadn't brought out the full strength of her grandfather and Madara, their limitless stamina and chakra were still terrifying.
Inside the village.
Susanoo Arrow
A massive purple arrow of Susanoo shattered half the bodies of the two old men, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. Sasuke Uchiha, seizing the opportunity, urgently shouted, "Quick, seal these two old immortals!”
Sealing Technique
Then two ninjas with sealing scrolls rush into the battlefield among the supporting Jonin outside, wrapping two old men who had lost half of their bodies into something resembling rice dumplings.
With only Asuma and Shikamaru left, the pressure on Uchiha Sasuke greatly decreased.
"Be careful, Lord Sasuke."
At this moment, one of the Jonin who had just sealed the two old men urgently shouted a warning, while Sasuke didn't even turn his head, his body flipping and leaping to evade.
Nothing seemed to happen, but Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan clearly saw the shadows moving on the ground.
"Damn it, Shikamaru, just a rat hiding in the dark."
Sasuke cursed under his breath, and at that moment, Sarutobi Asuma, wielding a Flying Swallow, charged at him. Sasuke just sneered coldly, not wanting to waste more time with these people.
Doujutsu: Amaterasu
In an instant, black flames appeared on the battlefield. Wherever his gaze went, the black flames arose out of nowhere, engulfing Sarutobi Asuma's body in flames. At the same time, Sasuke sneered and made hand signs.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
His mouth gathered a large amount of chakra, highly compressed, forming a massive fire dragon head that roared and blasted the distant ruins into flat ground.
Amidst the flying rubble, Nara Shikamaru appeared, but in the next moment, the black flames of Amaterasu burned directly on his body.
"Seal it quickly."
After doing all this, Uchiha Sasuke's pupils were filled with blood vessels, but he still bore the pain in his eyes and ordered everyone around.
"Yes."
Sealing Technique: Seal of Fire
Taking advantage of the moment Amaterasu was sealed, two bodies of Edo Tensei undergoing rapid repair directly encountered the sealing scrolls.
Under the joint battle of the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu and the Third Raikage, Uchiha Itachi also demonstrated his high level of intelligence in combat, almost on par with Kakashi.
"These Uchiha clan descendants are just outrageous. So many years without a Mangekyō Sharingan, and now so many have appeared."
Now only a head left, the small-bearded Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu muttered to himself, as his body below the neck was all sealed.
Watching the battle in front of him, he was full of emotions, "Never thought that the Third Raikage, known as the strongest shield and spear, would meet his match."
Under the precise control of Uchiha Itachi, the armor of Susanoo appeared, completely blocking the Third Raikage's strongest Hell Stab: One Finger Nukite.
Although Susanoo was not completely defensive, only shattering a part of the armor, under Uchiha Itachi's visual prowess, it instantly recovered as before.
Doujutsu: Tsukuyomi
Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō turned, and in an instant, the two men's vision changed, directly entering the world of illusion.
The Third Raikage, tied to the cross, looked at this scene in shock, exclaiming, "What kind of illusion is this, that it caught me completely off guard."
"In the world of Tsukuyomi, space, time, and mass are all under my control. Here you will experience 72 hours of agony."
The aloof Uchiha Itachi with his crimson Mangekyō stared coldly at his opponent, while the Third Raikage showed a mocking cold smile.
"Kid, the Sharingan truly deserves to be the number one doujutsu of the ninja world. It's a pity my Cloud Village couldn't seize it. But don't be arrogant, kid. With this Edo Tensei body, I feel nothing, meaning I won't suffer any pain.”
Watching the arrogance of the Third Raikage, Uchiha Itachi remained calm and slowly stabbed the Raikage, who was tied to a cross, directly with the ninja blade in his hand.
Splurt!
Blood flowed out, but the next second it seemed as if it hadn't, as the Third Raikage was filled with shock in the world of illusion.
"How is this possible! What kind of illusion is this, how can it make me feel pain!"
Under the shocked expression of the Third Raikage, Uchiha Itachi coldly continued his torture, and one after another, identical crosses appeared, with the Third Raikage tied up and Uchiha Itachi carrying out the torture.
"Your body indeed will not feel pain, not because you are a body of Impure Earth, but because this illusion targets not the body, but the spirit."
"The forbidden jutsu, Edo Tensei, summons the dead who have infinite stamina and infinite chakra, indeed very powerful, but your spirits are not infinite. Your spirits can feel tiredness, and even cause damage or seal to your souls, you also suffer pain."
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi coldly explained the weakness of the bodies of Edo Tensei to the Third Raikage.
"My Mangekyō Sharingan technique is called 'Tsukuyomi', where your spirit will endure 72 hours of torment, but in the outside world, it is only a moment."
"Damn brat!" roared the Third Raikage, he didn't expect to be caught and taught a lesson on his weakness by this younger generation.
…
"Uchiha Yoru!"
In the angry roar of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, he looked at the Preta Path in front of him, Sarutobi Asuma, who was holding his shoulders in reverse, and in an instant, the Preta Path crazily absorbed the chakra from his body.
At the same time, the small figure of the Animal Path, Konohamaru, appeared in front of Hiruzen like a flea, turning into a black dot.
"Konohamaru!" Seeing his grandson, Hiruzen was even more heartbroken.
Nothing is more painful in life than what he faced today, confronting not only the village of Konoha but also the bodies of his son and grandson.
For him, a man in his sixties, it was too cruel.
Summoning Technique
Konohamaru appeared in front of Hiruzen and suddenly slapped Hiruzen's abdomen with a single hand seal.
In an instant, under the chaos of the chakra of the Summoning Technique, a huge wound appeared in Hiruzen's abdomen. A puff of white smoke arose, revealing the figure of Danzo, the Deva Path.
"Danzo!"
First, he faced the bodies of his son and grandson, and then his long-trusted companion Danzo. At this moment, Hiruzen let out a hoarse and exhausted roar.
"Uchiha Yoru! You damn, playing with the bodies of my son, grandson, and Danzo, utterly evil!"
Under Hiruzen's furious roar, the cold purple Rinnegan eyes of Danzo looked over, slowly extending his hand towards the lower half of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Shinra Tensei
Boom~
Under precise control, in an instant, half of Hiruzen's body was blasted away. At the same time, the Preta Path Asuma and the Animal Path Konohamaru each grabbed one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's arms and suddenly exerted force.
Spurt~
Both arms were directly torn off, leaving only the upper half of Hiruzen. Although he could not feel the pain, facing his son, grandson, and companions, his heart was in immense pain.
"Evil Uchiha!"
Bang!
However, what greeted Hiruzen was a kick from Danzo, who coldly and mercilessly stepped on his face, looking down at him with a cold and condescending gaze.
This was an immense humiliation for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen.
"Old fool, Sarutobi Asuma, who slaughtered his clan and then brutally killed the ninjas of Konoha, has long been a rogue ninja. And your Animal Path grandson, Konohamaru, also committed the act of killing fellow villagers and defecting."
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, your grandson was taken down by Naruto, and of course, your son Sarutobi Asuma as well.”
Under the cold voice of Deva Path Danzo, Hiruzen's eyes bulged out, round and full of shock. His son and grandson were eliminated by Naruto? How could this be possible!
"Naruto couldn't possibly do that! It must be you!"
Before Hiruzen could finish, Danzo coldly said, "How could it not be possible! The Naruto you trained is very loyal. For the sake of Konoha, for your twisted Will of Fire, what can't he do?"
"Evil Uchiha!"
At this moment, Hiruzen's gaze was ferocious and terrifying, staring intensely, especially with the pupil-less eyes of his Edo Tensei body, which were entirely black, giving an eerie feeling.
"Look at you Old Third, and what you have become now."
Danzo shook his head and sneered, "Your current state is simply abhorrent. When the Second Hokage handed Konoha over to you, how strong was the military and economic power? Don't you have a clue?"
"But in just a few decades under your leadership, the Senju clan is gone, the only staunch ally in the ninja world, the Land of Whirlpools, is gone. The village's Jounin-level strength is either ostracized and framed to death by you or forced to flee Konoha and wander the ninja world."
"And look at you old guys! Shamelessly waving the flag for the village, but what is the result? The military strength has plummeted, and any other major ninja village dares to challenge Konoha. Was the Konoha handed over to you by the Second Hokage this weak?"
"Back then, in the ninja world, to challenge Konoha, no one dared to do it without the alliance of two major ninja villages!"
Under Deva Path Danzo’s mocking, Hiruzen's face twisted, filled with paranoid madness.
Rumble~
In the outskirts of Konoha and the area outside the village are engulfed in continuous warfare, especially outside the village where it's practically a war of giants.

"Damn brat!" roared the Third Raikage, he didn't expect to be caught and taught a lesson on his weakness by this younger generation.
