In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 162: The Merger Ends, the Five Great Ninja Villages Face the Reality

Whoosh...

Rumble…

The sounds of breaking air and explosions continued to ring out.

Unlike the Cloud Village and the Sand Village that suffered heavy losses, and unlike the Mist Village that avoided losses in time because of its cleverness and wit, Konoha was just like the Sand Village that eliminated the enemy cleanly and efficiently, and showed a momentum of crushing with ease.

And unlike Mei Terumi, Ōnoki and Gaara who led the troops in person, Tsunade did not go into battle personally, but stayed behind.

Even though Yagyu was held back by Pain's Six Paths, Konoha still displayed overwhelming power.

The new generation, led by Class 7, are showing off their talents.

Because he possesses a true sage body, Naruto, who learned the Sage Mode in just a few days, has returned from Mount Myoboku. He is currently in the Sage Mode state in Mount Myoboku. His fighting style has changed from his usual disorganized style. Instead, he calmly looks for the enemy's flaws. Every punch and kick is like a return to nature, extremely powerful.

On the other hand, every move of Sakura is powerful and has incredible destructive power.

Compared to Naruto, she seemed like the human-shaped tailed beast.

And Uchiha Sasuke showed his superb skills.

Although he was only holding a Kusanagi sword and covering the sword with lightning chakra, Uchiha Sasuke's attacks were always able to hit the enemy's fatal parts.

If you look closely, you will find that his eyes have activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Without using any exclusive eye techniques, but simply relying on the insight and eye power of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Sasuke was able to unleash a power that even the Five Kage feared.

The three members of Team 7, or to be more precise, the new generation of the Three Ninjas, are now using physical skills and cold weapons to engage in close combat.

On the contrary, their teacher, Hatake Kakashi, was using ninjutsu to assist them, attacking a figure with white hair, cracks all over his body, and a short sword in his hand that he had stolen from somewhere.

The man in the figure is skilled in swordsmanship and is very powerful. His every move is concise and sharp. Even Uchiha Sasuke, who has the dynamic vision of the Mangekyō Sharingan, is no match for him without using his exclusive eye techniques and ninjutsu.

Even though the person in this figure had lifeless eyes and was deprived of self-awareness.

Yes, the person with the same hair color as Hatake Kakashi is none other than the "Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo.

Just like how Kabuto Yakushi cannot play the Impure World Nagato, although the consciousness is deprived, it does not prevent the practitioner from using the abilities of the dead.

Moreover, in the past few years, Yagyu has already mastered the art of spiritualization and also learned the art of mind reading from Ino. The wooden clone can not only use Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship, but also absorb the opponent's experience quickly through Hatake Sakumo's memory like a sponge.

Combined with other abilities, Hatake Sakumo controlled by the wooden clone is not only not weaker than when he was alive, but even stronger than Hatake Sakumo when he was alive.

That's why Team 7 needs to join forces to fight the enemy.

"Divine power!"

With the help of his three disciples, Hatake Kakashi finally found the right opportunity and used a space-distorting attack, successfully tearing apart Hatake Sakumo's upper body.

"Fragrant phosphorus!"

Taking this opportunity, Sakura suddenly shouted.

whoosh-

A sound of breaking air was heard, and a chain that seemed to be able to extend infinitely tied up the remaining half of the body, but the upper body had also appeared out of thin air with white dust, which was rapidly condensing and resurrecting Hatake Sakumo.

"Sealing Technique: Unlocking the Contract!"

As the girl's shout rang out, tadpole-shaped runes immediately spread out from the chains that began to flash with blue chakra, and quickly spread all over the body that Hatake Sakumo was repairing.

The next second, Baimao and the wooden clone who was responsible for controlling Hatake Sakumo, temporarily lost control of Hatake Sakumo.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo's body had just been repaired.

Karin instantly appeared in front of him, and then her small hands covered with green chakra used medical ninjutsu to scan Hatake Sakumo's body, and quickly found the medium and the talisman.

Then, Karin placed one hand on Hatake Sakumo's head and quickly formed a seal with the other hand, saying softly, "Immortal Reincarnation - Release!"

Swah——

A dazzling white light flashed.

The body that Hatake Sakumo had just repaired suddenly turned into white dust again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then a transparent white spirit, carrying white light covering its entire body, floated into the air, revealing the appearance of Hatake Sakumo.

However, this Hatake Sakumo was different from the previous one who was deprived of self-awareness and had lifeless eyes. Instead, he looked at Hatake Kakashi with a kind look and a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Kakashi, you have grown up."

"Father, it's great to see you again."

Pulling down his forehead protector, Hatake Kakashi looked at his father's spirit that was about to ascend to heaven with complicated eyes, and suddenly said: "Father, I finally understand the decision you made. I am proud of you."

"Really? It seems like you've been through a lot over the years."

Hatake Sakumo was slightly stunned, then glanced at the battlefield and smiled: "It seems that I have caused you trouble. It's a pity that I can't stay to make up for it and help you, but don't come to see me so early, Kakashi."

"Ah...I won't die."

Then, Hatake Sakumo turned into a beam of white light and shot up into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye like a meteor.

In other places, after successfully killing all the survivors of the four major ninja clans, the Wood clone also let Hinata and Ino, who also mastered the sealing technique, as well as Shizune and Kurama Yakumo, to work together to seal the dead or cancel the Impure World Reincarnation.

Even if there is no let-up, at most it will just make the battle last a little longer.

Whether it is Hatake Sakumo or other powerful people in Konoha who have died, except for the previous Hokage, no one else can be the opponent of the new generation.

Because Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata are too strong.

Especially Kurama Yakumo, he is simply a battlefield harvester.

If White Zetsu used the technique of disguise to disguise himself as someone else, Kurama Yakumo would directly throw the two of them into the illusion space, seal them and then release them, not giving White Zetsu's clone any chance to disrupt the formation.

Therefore, only a very small number of White Zetsu clones can ambush Konoha's ninjas.

Therefore, the number of casualties caused by tens of thousands of White Zetsu clones is not even as high as the casualties caused by the dozens-digit elite team of Impure World Reincarnation.

"Everyone retreat!"

Just after elite jonin such as Hatake Kakashi and the new generation joined forces to eliminate the elite team of Impure World Reincarnation, a voice sounded in the minds of everyone on the Konoha side.

The person who spoke this voice was Ino's father, Yamanaka Inoichi.

The voice that sounded in the minds of tens of thousands of people at the same time was one of the secret techniques of the mountain clan, a telepathic technique that allowed them to communicate and issue commands remotely.

Many ninjas were confused as to why their side chose to retreat even though they had gained an absolute advantage.

However, obeying orders is the duty of ninjas, so no one questioned it. Instead, they cooperated tacitly to carry their sealed companions and the White Zetsu clone, and rushed back to the camp, quickly evacuating the Rain Country. Soon, only the Cloud Ninja Battlefield and the Iron Country Battlefield were still fighting.

But soon, Mifune of the Iron Country's face suddenly changed, and he also gave the order to retreat.

The samurai troop was not deliberately targeted by Yagyu, so there was no powerful undead to come to them. Only a small number of members were lost, and they successfully evacuated the Rain Country.

As a result, only the battlefield on the Cloud Ninja side was still fighting.

At this time, the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee had already arrived at the battlefield and were working together to deal with the Third Raikage.

However, their arrival only delayed the strongest Third Raikage.

But on the battlefield, in addition to thousands of White Zetsu clones, there is also Kakuzu, the veteran Kage-level warrior, and Hidan, who now truly possesses an immortal body.

And now there is a fourth Kage-level strongman joining, and they are the two Yumu Ren!

At this time, three Kage-level strong men were chasing the Cloud Ninja Army, which was unable to exert its full strength while being alert to the surroundings and instantly evacuating from the Rain Country.

Kakuzu, controlled by his wooden clone, released all kinds of combination ninjutsu without hesitation, which caused a series of explosions and killed the Cloud ninjas and White Zetsu clones without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Hidan swung a sickle and rushed into the crowd to serve as a target for Kakuzu.

The two wooden men were covered in blue chakra with black cat demon patterns all over their bodies. They continuously spit out tracking fireballs to attack the Cloud Ninja troops. At the same time, they also entered the state of Tailed Beast Coat and pounced into the crowd like wild beasts, taking away several lives with a single claw.

"Damn Akatsuki!!!"

Seeing the casualties increasing, Darui, who was overwhelmed, had no idea which one to deal with.

"The Sealing Squad has restrained the injured companions. Your current mission is to evacuate the Rain Country. Spread out and alert everyone around you. Wait for the next instruction."

Samui did not come to assist Darui, but shouted to the panicked and confused Kumo-nin who did not know whether to flee, save his companion who was not sure whether it was the real person or a fake, or stay and assist the Fourth Raikage and his men.

Then, Samui brought hope to the Cloud Ninjas: "I will go find support. The secret technique of the Yamanaka clan can help us distinguish the real from the fake, so you must save your lives now."

"Yes!"

Samui's words brought a glimmer of hope to the panicked and desperate Cloud Ninjas.

As militant factions, they are not actually afraid of fighting.

Before setting off, they were also prepared to die in the war.

But they don't want to die in such a miserable way.

Although they knew there were enemies around them, they could not take action. If they were not prepared enough, they might be killed.

Moreover, the other party was bearing the faces of his companions and the big shots they had always admired... This way of dying was not the heroic sacrifice they had imagined.

Therefore, the Cloud Ninjas who were still alive at this time felt suffocated.

But now, Samui's words gave them hope.

Yup!

This war is not between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Akatsuki organization, but between the five major ninja villages and the Land of Iron to encircle and suppress the Akatsuki organization.

Although there is no total mobilization alliance, the five major ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom are now indeed allies.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to seek support at this time, I believe Konoha will not refuse.

As long as they find a way to break the camouflage of those white creatures, their strength will not be restricted.

By then, they must pay back double!
So, the Sealing Squad sealed up the injured Cloud Ninjas and carried them out of the Rain Country in an orderly manner.

Soon, the Cloud Ninja Force, which was less than five digits and only four digits left, disappeared in the rain. Only the White Zetsu clone who did not chase them and whose mission was only to stop them, the AB combination who was fighting with the Third Raikage, and Darui who chose to delay the two Yukitos were left.

Seeing that all the enemies had run away, Kakuzu and Hidan did not chase after them. Instead, they divided the work and cooperated with each other. The former was responsible for supporting the Third Raikage, and the latter was responsible for supporting the two Yukitos.

For a moment, the pressure on the AB combination and Darui, who could only barely tie with the Third Raikage and the two wooden figures, was doubled.

"Bi, Darui, retreat!"

The Fourth Raikage, who was unable to do anything to his father, immediately gave the order to retreat when he saw his subordinates evacuated and the enemy had reinforcements.

Facing the living Third Raikage, the brothers might still have a chance of winning, after all, human chakra has its limits.

My father was besieged by 10,000 ninjas from the Iwagakure Village for three days and three nights, and was eventually exhausted to death.

With his current strength, plus Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Chakra, the brothers definitely have a chance of defeating their father together, although it may take a few days.

However, facing the old man who has invincible defense, immortality and infinite chakra, they have no hope of winning unless they have someone who is good at sealing to assist them.

Rather than staying and wasting unnecessary chakra or even getting hurt, retreating is the best option.

After finishing speaking, the Fourth Raikage transformed into a streak of blue-white lightning and led the way away.

Killer Bee, who had already entered the half-tailed beast state, spit out a beam of light in a very tacit manner, but did not attack the Third Raikage. Instead, it hit the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust.

When the dust and fog dissipated, the figures of the AB combination and Darui had disappeared.

With their retreat, of the five major ninja villages and the six armies of the Land of Iron, only the Yagyu side was still fighting.

"Chief, they have all retreated."

White Zetsu immediately reported to Tendo Pain.

"I see."

Tendo Pain nodded, and then Nagato's real body silently formed hand seals.

bang bang bang...

The next second, Pain's Six Paths, who were fighting with Yagyu, suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared.

The Senju brothers and the Second Tsuchikage, who could not find an opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow, also retreated silently.

The first round between the five major ninja villages and the Akatsuki organization also came to an end.

During this test, White Zetsu's clone and the elite Impure World Reincarnation troops shattered the arrogance of the Hidden Cloud Village.

It also made the five major ninja villages face the reality that a major ninja village could never be a match for the Akatsuki organization.

Even if two or three large ninja villages unite, they may not be able to win.

There are simply too many white creatures on the Akatsuki side, their high-end combat power is also amazing, and they are all immortal and have infinite chakra.
