The venue for the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron collapsed, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique was used to summon the F4 from the time of the Third Hokage of Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Mito Kaden, and Koharu Tanzania.
Even in their dying moments, the four did not forget to fight amongst themselves. Upon their reappearance, they angrily denounced Tsunade for colluding with traitors from Konoha and mentioned the hidden dangers posed by various clans, claiming that the Uchiha and other major clans were trying to seize power and had already slaughtered the Sarutobi clan.
The Uchiha and other powerful clans seized power and massacred the Sarutobi clan. Outside, the Fourth Raikage was fighting the resurrected Third Raikage, who had been controlled by the Akatsuki and entered a berserk mode.
Obito actually wanted to revive Killer Bee and find the Eight-Tails, but Lin Yao's methods were too clean. He directly and completely absorbed the power of the Eight-Tails, and Killer Bee's soul power was also completely extinguished, sinking into the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, making it impossible for him to capture him.
Tsunade arranged for Sasuke to fight the F4, while the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and others secretly observed and tested Konoha's strengths and weaknesses.
Sasuke's actions shocked everyone: he suppressed the Water Release: Impure World Army with terrifying Fire Release, then unleashed Amaterasu and Flame Release: Kagutsuchi, transforming into a black fire tornado to crush the enemy; his taijutsu overwhelmed the Third Hokage, and he crushed Koharu Utatane's face with a single stomp. Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Five Elements: Great Combo Technique in conjunction with Danzo's Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique, but it was still leveled by Sasuke's Complete Susanoo in one strike, flattening mountains and shocking everyone. Obito attempted to summon more Impure World warriors to counterattack, but Tsunade immediately activated Cursed Seal Sage Mode, using the true First Hokage's Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees to cover the battlefield, definitively confirming that Konoha possessed both the legendary powers of Wood Release and Mangekyou Sharingan.
Obito was suddenly caught in Sasuke's Tsukuyomi genjutsu, and saw Rin Nohara's figure in the illusion, which greatly shocked him. The battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
On this day, the snowfields of the Land of Iron were plunged into chaos unlike anything it had ever witnessed.
Before the bells signaling the end of the Five Kage Summit had even rung, the heavy stone table in the center of the hall shattered with a deep rumble. Amidst the flying debris, the entire castle's foundation seemed to have been lifted and slammed down by an invisible giant hand; spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the walls from bottom to top, the dome of the main hall collapsed with a deafening roar, and rubble mixed with snow and wind poured into the hall. The warriors of the Land of Iron drew their swords and hastily retreated, protecting the Kage. However, what gushed from the cracks in the ground was not lava or water, but rows of black coffins.
The coffin lid was pushed open from the inside, revealing four seated figures. Their skin was as white as paper, covered in cracks, and their eye sockets gleamed with an ominous black hue. Impure World Reincarnation.
The first figure slowly raised his head, his face aged yet dignified, wearing the iconic Hokage hat, a wisp of white beard trembling slightly in the wind. It was Hiruzen Sarutobi. Beside him stood Danzo Shimura, his left eye and right arm wrapped in bandages, and two elders from Sarutobi's era—Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.
These four individuals were the highest-ranking officials in Konoha during their lifetimes, and now, reappearing in the world in their reanimated forms, they still carry with them that deep-rooted arrogance and scheming.
"Tsunade," Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, his voice hoarse and low, like sandpaper being rubbed, carrying a strange echo permeated by the world of the dead, "You, as the Fifth Hokage, actually sided with a traitor, causing a great disturbance within the Five Kage Summit venue. You have utterly disgraced Konoha."
Tsunade stood amidst the ruins, her sacred robes torn in several places by rubble. Her gaze swept back and forth between the four impure figures, her pupils slightly contracting, but she didn't take a single step back. She gritted her teeth and sneered, "Third Hokage, you're dead now, still worrying about Konoha's reputation from your coffin?"
"Tsunade!" Danzo's voice was cold and hard. He stood up, his whole body shrouded in a dark and heavy aura. "You've done more than just disgraceful things. You colluded with the remnants of the Uchiha clan, allowing a powerful clan to erode the foundation of Konoha. I only managed to suppress the Uchiha's rebellion at the cost of my life before I died, and you destroyed everything as soon as you took over as Hokage."
"Danzo, how dare you mention the Uchiha clan?" Tsunade's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Do I need to remind you how much Uchiha blood is on your own hands? On the night of the massacre, you teamed up with Obito to slaughter the entire Uchiha clan. And even after your death, you still want to label Konoha a 'traitor'?"
"The Uchiha clan has always been heretics," Danzo said coldly. "Their blood is cursed, and they will inevitably betray their cause. I'm merely acting preemptively to eliminate a threat to Konoha. As for you so-called Hokage..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping coldly across the ruins where Lin Yao and Sasuke had been standing. His voice rose deliberately: "Look at these people standing around you. Which one is trustworthy? Uchiha, Hatake, Hyuga, Sarutobi—every major clan covets the Hokage position. Sooner or later, the tragedy of the past will repeat itself. I already know that while you were away attending the talks, a major upheaval occurred in Konoha—the Uchiha and other major clans, along with rogue ninja, massacred the Sarutobi clan!"
"Bullshit!" Tsunade couldn't help but blurt out a curse. "The Sarutobi clan is alive and well! You're a dead man, coming here to make up nonsense. Don't you find it laughable?"
"Believe it or not," Danzo said coldly. "When you return to the village and see the corpses strewn all over the ground, you will naturally understand that what I said is true."
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu stood beside Danzo, slowly nodding, a somber expression of approval on their faces. These two elders, known for their hawkish stance in life, still carried that stubborn, bureaucratic air even in their resurrected forms. Utatane Koharu spoke, her voice hoarse and cutting: "Konoha's foundation lies in its stable clan order. Now, Tsunade, for her own selfish desires, has brought Uchiha remnants into the upper echelons and allowed them access to the secrets of the Five Kage Summit. How is such a Hokage any different from a traitor?"
The four resurrected figures chatted amongst themselves amidst the ruins, turning the entire Five Kage Summit into a quarrel among Konoha's high-ranking officials. Meanwhile, on the snowy plains, the battle continued to rage.
The Fourth Raikage, A, moved like a blue lightning bolt, tracing sharp arcs through the swirling snow. His fists, imbued with Lightning Release chakra, delivered blows with the power to tear apart mountains, slamming fiercely into the larger, more imposing figure before him.
The Third Raikage, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, was the strongest Raikage in the history of Kumogakure, a legendary figure hailed as "the strongest spear and the strongest shield." At this moment, his body was covered in cracks from the Impure World Reincarnation, his eyes were black, devoid of any consciousness, only radiating a brutal killing intent forcibly infused into them. He advanced step by step towards A's attack, his Lightning Release armor covered in a dense, almost tangible layer of lightning. Despite being struck in the chest by A's heavy punch, he remained unmoved, instead suddenly raising his arm, a straight hand chop striking towards A's throat like lightning.
Ai dodged to the side, the blade grazing his neck guard and slicing off a lock of his blond hair. He gritted his teeth, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, a complex mix of emotions churning within him: "Old man...it's me. Do you still recognize me?"
The Third Raikage did not answer. His pupils were as black as an abyss, and he mechanically continued to raise his arm, unleashing that emotionless killing move once more. A's heart sank; he knew that his father's soul had been forcibly suppressed by the Akatsuki's techniques and could no longer respond to his calls.
He glanced down at his fists, lightning chakra crackling between his knuckles, his gaze hardening: "Old man, I'm sorry—even if it's you standing in my way, I'll still smash you to pieces with my own hands."
On a distant cliff, Uchiha Yao stood silently, observing everything on the battlefield. His senses extended to the farthest reaches, as if he were looking at a vast, intricate chessboard. After a moment, he murmured, "Obito's intention is to use the Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect Killer Bee and extract the Eight-Tails' power from him. But he's destined to be disappointed."
Killer Bee's body had been completely absorbed by Yao, and the Eight-Tails' chakra had been completely integrated into his body, leaving not a trace. Killer Bee's soul had also been completely annihilated, sinking into the unfathomable depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and even the Rinnegan could not pull him back to the present world. The Impure World Reincarnation technique requires a soul as an anchor point to lock onto a target, and now that soul's trace had vanished without a trace, Obito had no way of finding the Eight-Tails.
"What you want, you can't have." A cold glint appeared on Yao's lips. "Then you can only watch your pieces go awry, one move at a time. That feeling must be unbearable."
Tsunade's voice came from the center of the ruins: "Sasuke, these four old guys are yours."
Sasuke slowly stepped forward, his black hair fluttering slightly in the wind and snow. His Mangekyou Sharingan calmly gazed at the four reanimated figures before him, as if looking at four empty shells oblivious to their fate. He pulled back his headband beneath his collar, revealing his crimson eyes: "Just what I wanted."
Danzo sneered, "You little Uchiha brat, you dare to be so insolent in front of the four of us?"
"Danzo," Sasuke's voice was completely calm, "I regretted not being able to kill you with my own hands when you were alive. Now that you're dead and back, I'll finish you off."
His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and a surge of scorching chakra gathered in his throat. He then opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
The blazing flames, like a red tsunami, swept towards the four impure figures with overwhelming force. The heat of the flames scorched the ground black before it even touched the earth, and the falling snow instantly evaporated into a white mist. Mitokado Homura's expression changed, and he quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall!"
A thick waterfall surged from the ground, barely blocking the flames. But Sasuke's flames were far denser than he had expected; the water barrier was almost instantly vaporized by the intense heat upon contact with the flames. Mitokado Homura was thrown back by the aftershocks, his face grim.
"This brat's chakra..." Koharu Utatane's expression changed as well, "...is even more terrifying than Madara Uchiha in his prime!"
Sasuke gave them no chance to catch their breath. He formed hand seals, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye suddenly spun—Amaterasu. Black flames appeared out of thin air around the four of them, silently licking at the air. These flames were no ordinary fire, but cursed fire fueled by his eye power, capable of burning anything, and once touched, they could not be extinguished.
"Fire Release: Kagutsuchi!" Sasuke shouted, his right hand suddenly waving. Under his control, the black flame condensed into a huge black fire tornado, surging towards the Edo Tensei four in front of him. The radius of the fire tornado covered the entire ruins, completely engulfing Mitomon Homura's defensive technique. Wherever the black flame passed, even the stones turned into gray-white ash.
Mitokado Homura was caught off guard and half of his body was struck by the black flames, causing black cracks to appear on his reanimated form. Utatane Koharu was thrown back by the aftershock of the fire tornado and crashed heavily into a stone pillar, but her reanimated form quickly healed her injuries. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo each dodged aside, closing in on Sasuke from both sides.
"Arrogant brat," Danzo said coldly, forming a complex hand seal with one hand, "Wind Release: Vacuum Giant Ball!"
A sharp gust of wind, like a cannonball, shot towards Sasuke. Sasuke slightly tilted his head, letting the wind release graze past his ear, blasting a boulder as tall as a man behind him into dust. He immediately lowered his body, rushing towards Danzo with near-teleportation speed, kicking Danzo in the chest and sending him flying several feet back. Then, he spun around and appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, his Kusanagi sword slashing horizontally.
Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned his Vajra Staff to parry, the sound of metal clashing echoing across the snowfield. Sasuke's sword strikes were heavy and swift, each blow carrying the power to cleave mountains, forcing Hiruzen to retreat step by step. His taijutsu, guided by his Mangekyou Sharingan, flowed as smoothly as a black snake, each attack precisely targeting Hiruzen's weaknesses.
"Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!" Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and formed hand seals, unleashing five chakra bullets of different attributes at Sasuke from all directions. Fire, lightning, water blades, earth clods, and storms intertwined to form a destructive net. Sasuke's body stopped abruptly, turned sideways, bent over, and dodged within that net, as if anticipating the trajectory of each bullet, passing through it flawlessly. He leaped in front of Hiruzen and kicked him in the jaw, sending him tumbling through the air.
Koharu Utatane attacked from behind, a chakra scalpel in her hand, aiming straight for Sasuke's nape. Without turning his head, Sasuke grabbed her wrist and slammed her to the ground. As he landed, he stepped on her aged, distorted face, his shoe grinding against her cheek, crushing that arrogant and mean-spirited face into the gravel.
"Old woman," Sasuke said, looking down at her calmly, "all those rules and regulations you spew out should have been shattered along with your face long ago."
Koharu Tsurugi let out a muffled shriek, and the impure body beneath his feet cracked, healed, and cracked again.
"Enough." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, his hands forming hand seals, and his chakra suddenly resonated at an abnormal frequency. He shouted, "Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!"
Five massive chakra bullets shot out from around him, each containing enough power to destroy a mountain. At the same time, Danzo appeared behind Hiruzen, his right hand pressed to the ground, and he uttered a low shout: "Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Seal!"
A jet-black light array spread from the ground, forming a sealing barrier that collapsed inward around the two of them. Wherever the black light reached, the air was forcibly sucked away, attempting to pull Sasuke deeper into the seal. This was a forbidden technique that Danzo hadn't had a chance to fully unleash before his death, and now, in his reanimated form, he released it without regard for the cost.
