Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"These two clones should be enough to deal with Nagato and Obito. As for Black Zetsu, the main body will handle it."

With a thought, Yagami Yoruichi immediately informed Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the others that he was about to take action, and summoned the reanimated Minato Namikaze.

Chapter 266 A Surprise Attack on Akatsuki! Sealing Black Zetsu!

Inside the secret base in the metropolis of the Land of Fire.

Yoruichi Yagami gathered everyone together.

"I have located the trail of three key targets."

Yagami Yoruichi said, "I will try to take a strategy of defeating them one by one, but if the news leaks out, we will need to act simultaneously."

Yagami Yoruichi reveals her plan.

The main body goes to deal with Black Zetsu first.

Meanwhile, one of the two clones took Minato Namikaze to keep an eye on Obito Uchiha, while the other clone took Tsunade, Orochimaru, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Sasori Akasago to spy on the Akatsuki's headquarters.

These two clones are merely keeping watch and will not take action for the time being.

If Yoruichi Yagami's main body can successfully defeat Black Zetsu, then go to Obito Uchiha's side, and finally Nagato.

Logically speaking, given such a great distance, if Yoruichi Yagami were fast enough, she could have captured or killed Black Zetsu, Obito Uchiha, and Nagato one after another.

However, Yoruichi Yagami was unsure whether they had a means of communication over extremely long distances.

If the news leaks, Yagami Yoruichi's clone will immediately take action and attack all three of them simultaneously.

In theory, Yagami Yoruichi believed that her clones were strong enough to deal with three people at the same time.

However, just in case, when Yagami Yoruichi makes a move, the cooperation of others is needed to ensure that the enemy has no chance to struggle, resist, or escape.

This is Yagami Yoruichi's style.

Either do nothing.

If you're going to act, you must do it with lightning speed, crushing the enemy instantly.

After hearing Yagami Yoruichi's plan, everyone's expressions varied.

But no one chose to back down.

"Orochimaru, is your Impure World Reincarnation army ready?" Yagami Yoruichi asked Orochimaru.

To deal with the Akatsuki, Yagami Yoruichi's clones need to focus on Nagato, and may not have much spare capacity to take care of others.

Considering the number of members in the Akatsuki organization, the Impure World Reincarnation technique becomes very important.

“I’m ready.” Orochimaru asked, “Shall we summon them now? I can control up to three reanimated bodies without affecting my main body’s battle. If my main body doesn’t participate in the battle, I can control more than ten.”

Without a second thought, Yagami Yoru said, "Summon them now, in the order of the largest number."

"As you wish." Orochimaru bit his finger, forming the hand seals for a summoning jutsu: "Summoning Jutsu - Impure World Reincarnation!"

Click, click, click!

A series of sounds followed, and one coffin after another emerged from the ground.

The coffin doors opened, revealing the faces of powerful figures who had already passed away.

Aside from the previous Kage of Konoha, only the Second Tsuchikage 'Mu' from Iwagakure is included.

Orochimaru summoned the second and third 'Kage' from the three villages of Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure.

There are a total of seven previous 'Kage', plus the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Burubi, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, the Explosion Release ninja 'Kari', and the Scorch Release ninja 'Yakura'.

A total of twelve Kage-level ninjas formed this Edo Tensei (reanimation) unit.

Looking at this lineup, Yagami Yoruichi's lips twitched slightly.

These twelve people vary in strength.

Strong individuals, like the Third Raikage, can reach the peak of the Kage level.

Even the weakest, Gari and Yekura, barely reached the threshold of Kage level.

Furthermore, even with the best offerings, the power ceiling of the reanimated user is inevitably affected under the Impure World Reincarnation state, resulting in their power only being 'infinitely close' to their former state, rather than truly reaching it.

However, if these twelve individuals can coordinate well with each other, they could all deal with some beings at the Shadow level.

Is dealing with those ordinary members of the Akatsuki a bit too much of an overreaction?

"Are you sure you can control it?" Yagami Yoruichi looked at Orochimaru.

"As long as my main body doesn't participate in the battle, there's no problem." Orochimaru said with a smile, "This is a good opportunity to test the performance of the Impure World Reincarnation technique in actual combat."

"As you wish," Yagami Yoruichi instructed. "You can awaken them now. Remember, your mission is to deal with the core members of the Akatsuki."

"understood."

"Yes, Chief."

Everyone readily agreed.

Orochimaru stepped forward with the talismans in his hand and buried them one by one into the bodies of the reanimated ninjas, then awakened them one by one.

Before the twelve reanimated ninjas could react, Orochimaru controlled their consciousness with a single hand seal.

Unlike Yakushi Kabuto.

Orochimaru tends to completely control the consciousness of the reanimated bodies, remotely manipulating them in battle.

While this method cannot fully unleash the power of the Impure World Body, it can better prevent the Impure World Body from going out of control.

After making preparations, Yagami Yoru looked at Uzumaki Kaori and Uchiha Hikaru to the side and instructed, "You two, come with me too. I have prepared opponents for each of you."

In the few years since they came to this world, Kaori Uzumaki and Hikaru Uchiha have also grown remarkably.

Judging from the panel configuration alone, it has the level of a top-tier movie.

If you encounter a type that you can counter, you can even put up a fight against a Kage-level opponent.

However, Uchiha Hikaru was a bit better off, as he had experienced countless battles during the Warring States period and had rich practical experience.

Kaori Uzumaki has a great stat sheet, but very little actual combat experience.

If I were to encounter an opponent of the same level, I wonder how much of my fighting power I could muster.

This opportunity to fight alongside the Akatsuki organization will also provide Kaori Uzumaki with a chance to hone her combat experience.

As for Uchiha Hikaru, he was considered Kaori Uzumaki's 'bodyguard'.

If Kaori Uzumaki performs poorly in actual combat and encounters danger, then Hikaru Uchiha will have to rescue her.

But if that really happens, Kaori Uzumaki will basically have to say goodbye to actual combat and can only become a 'functional ninja' specializing in sealing and healing, and can forget about participating in front-line battles again.

Yagami Yoru had already discussed this with them.

Kaori Uzumaki knew this was a 'test' for her, and she seemed a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid, the battle is simple, just kill the enemy." Uchiha Hikaru comforted him softly, but his words were full of killing intent.

Having been regarded as a 'weapon of war' by her clan since the Warring States period, she gradually became normal under the influence of Yagami Yoruichi.

But that was only in front of a few people, such as Yagami Yoruichi and Uzumaki Kaori.

When facing enemies, she remains the ruthless 'ultimate weapon'.

"Let's go." Yagami Yoruichi reminded them, her main body and two clones gathering chakra, linking with everyone, and simultaneously activating teleportation to different destinations.

……

In the underground space.

Yoruichi Yagami's true form appeared, immediately forcibly initiating a 'real man 1V1' duel.

"The Cycle of Despair!"

Before Black Zetsu could react to Tetsuo's ultimate move, he was dragged into a completely enclosed alternate dimension by Yoruichi Yagami.

The underground space platform outside.

Black Zetsu was dragged away, but White Zetsu, who was possessed by him, remained where he was, staring blankly at his surroundings.

"Ah?"

Did something just fly by?

"Where's Black Zetsu? Where did Black Zetsu go?!"

Bai Jue stared blankly around, completely bewildered as to what was happening.

……

Within the cycle of reincarnation in the abyss.

When Yagami Yoruichi saw Black Zetsu sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, he was also stunned for a moment.

Only then did he realize that his [Reincarnation Abyss] had only brought Black Zetsu in, but not White Zetsu, who was possessing him.

"It seems there are still some mechanics of this skill that I don't understand..."

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind, but she didn't have time to study it carefully. She formed hand seals and shouted, "Doomsday Glacier!"

The projection of the Howling Abyss descended, overlapping with the alternate dimension of the Cycle of Despair.

The ice could freeze one's soul, the dense aura of death, the corrosive poison that led one into the abyss, and the mournful howls that seemed to be deeply implanted into the brain.

This terrifying environment alone made Black Zetsu feel as if he were in hell.

The moment Black Zetsu looked up and saw Yoruichi Yagami, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Six...Sixth Dao level?!"

Although Black Zetsu hadn't encountered this aura of life beyond the ordinary many times, he was all too familiar with it.

Black Zetsu was certain that he was not mistaken about this feeling of a 'super life' that transcended ordinary life.

In his entire life, apart from his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, he had only ever seen those two 'rebellious sons'.

"Could it be that the tribesmen my mother fears have arrived?"

The moment the thought of Black Zetsu popped into his head, he was completely terrified.

Before he could rescue his mother, he encountered an enemy he could not resist.
