Naruto: Let the glory of the giants spread throughout the ninja world!

With a loud bang, the shockwave stirred up rubble and dust, followed by a painful roar.

The group, who had been locked in their own battles, all stopped at once and turned to look at the One-Tailed Jinchuriki who was hopping around while clutching his buttocks.

The speed at which Tobirama Senju, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, formed hand seals did not slow down in the slightest. Water Release chakra continued to surge in his palms, but the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably twice.

His gaze swept in the direction of Naruto, his jawline tightened instantly, and an indescribable sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.

"Hey, this blond kid must be a ninja from Konoha. The younger generation these days is really ruined."

Zabuza gripped the Executioner's Blade tightly with both hands, holding it horizontally in front of him to steadily block the water blade that Tobirama was slashing at. Using the force of Tobirama's attack, he slid to the side and swung his blade back to slash at his opponent's side waist.

"Don't underestimate that kid. He's Konoha's ultimate weapon, a terrifyingly strong child in terms of both strength and mentality."

The moment the words fell, Kai, who had been waiting on the side for an opportunity, suddenly exerted force with his foot and kicked Tobirama precisely in the joint of his arm, which had just finished forming hand seals.

This kick directly interrupted Tobirama's nasty technique, causing his body to stiffen for a moment.

Zabuza immediately seized the opportunity, gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and swung it with all his might. The blade cut through the air with a whooshing sound, cleaving Tobirama Senju's body in two at the waist.

White, unclean patterns spread rapidly along the wound, and the upper and lower body were pieced together and healed in the blink of an eye.

Tobirama's mouth was already bulging, and the fire chakra in his throat surged as he unleashed a wide-ranging fireball at Zabuza, who hadn't completely retreated.

The intense flames swept across, burning the rubble on the ground until it cracked. Zabuza immediately used his Executioner's Blade to block in front of him, his body being pushed backward several meters by the force of the flames, his shoes leaving two deep grooves on the ground.

"I already told you, without sealing techniques, you can't do anything to the Impure World Reincarnation. Didn't you notify the Uzumaki clan, who know sealing techniques?"

No sooner had Tobirama finished speaking than a sharp whooshing sound came from behind him.

A foot had already kicked him squarely in the chest, the force of which made him stagger forward two steps and crash hard into the broken wall behind him, causing a section of the wall to collapse instantly.

Ryukura Akira remained standing in the same spot, maintaining his side-kick stance.

"Phew, phew, it's done. That Orochimaru was indeed a shadow clone."

Zabuza and Guy both looked at Akira Ryukura and asked, "How did you deal with that guy?"

Ryukura Akira gestured with his chin toward a spot not far away: "Of course, I didn't handle it. It was Orochimaru's good classmate fighting amongst himself."

Zabuza and Guy looked in the direction he pointed, and Jiraiya was standing on the ruins where Orochimaru's clone had been. The Rasengan in his hand was still spinning at high speed, and the surrounding rubble was being swirled around by chakra. Orochimaru's clone had long since disappeared.

"It seems the village is really in trouble. Even you, Grandmaster, have been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

With a muffled thud, Tobirama Senju punched away the rubble that was pressing down on him, sending the rubble flying in all directions.

He straightened up, dusted himself off, and looked at Jiraiya with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Grandmaster, it seems you are that kid Sarutobi's disciple. What year is it in Konoha now?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tobirama moved instantly, appearing to Jiraiya's right and striking him squarely in the abdomen with his right fist.

With a soft snap, Jiraiya's left hand precisely grasped his fist, his palm muscles tensed, and he steadily caught the blow without taking a single step back.

"Sixty years in Konoha, a long time has passed since your death, Master."

Tobirama immediately withdrew his fist, and at the same time swung his left hand toward Jiraiya's cheek.

Jiraiya dodged the attack by tilting his head, while simultaneously striking Tobirama's side with his knee. Tobirama dodged to the side and then slammed his elbow into Jiraiya's back.

The two exchanged blows, with Tobirama constantly asking about the situation in Konoha over the years. Jiraiya responded calmly while blocking and dodging, his movements showing no sign of panic.

At the edge of the battlefield, Akira Ryukura, Naruto, and Guy stood still, watching the two fighting not far away.

Kai's shoulders relaxed; he knew that with Jiraiya there, Tobirama Senju wouldn't cause any bigger trouble for the time being.

Bai ran over at this moment, his clothes covered in dust. He stopped and quickly scanned the people present, making sure no one was injured before he breathed a sigh of relief.

After listening to their brief accounts, a relaxed expression appeared on his face. He didn't care that he had run such a long way; he was just glad that everyone was safe and sound.

However, this relaxation did not last long.

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, the distant ruins collapsed with a deafening roar, and Shukaku's massive body emerged from the ground.

Yellow sand flowed down his body. He stood on the ruins, taller than the remaining broken towers around him. He opened his mouth and let out a wild laugh, the sound making everyone's ears ring.

"Hahaha, I'm back again!"

"Eh..." Ryukura Akira looked at Shukaku's figure and raised his hand to rub his temples.

He walked over to Naruto and patted him on the shoulder.

Naruto was looking up, his eyes wide open.

"Do you still have the strength?"

Naruto snapped out of his daze at the question, his face still covered in dust. He immediately raised his arm, clenched his fist, and shouted back, "Of course! I've only just warmed up!"

After saying that, he lowered his arm, looked up at Shukaku again, and said with obvious difficulty in his tone, "But... how am I supposed to fight this big guy?"

"roar!"

Shukaku noticed their commotion, opened its mouth and let out a roar, firing a vacuum bullet straight at the location of Akira and Naruto.

Ryukura Akira immediately grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar and dragged him to the side, where the two of them tumbled into a pile of rubble.

The vacuum bomb struck the spot where they had just stood, instantly shattering the already crumbling ruins of the Trial Tower into dust.

On the other side, after hearing Jiraiya's explanation of the current situation, Tobirama's face showed anger. He snorted coldly and said, "It seems that the Sand Village has joined forces with Orochimaru to attack Konoha. Are they trying to start the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

"Probably." Jiraiya's expression also darkened. "I actually went to Master's battlefield immediately, but the Four Purple Sun Formation's defense was too strong. I couldn't break it with my attack power, and even using Sage Mode was useless."

"What's there to be afraid of? The hope of breaking this deadlock has already appeared!"

Ryukura Akira's voice suddenly rang out, drowning out the surrounding tremors and roars.

A large amount of hot steam instantly spread out, revealing a set of white teeth in the flow chamber, while its originally emerald green pupils were gradually covered with red.

"There's no time to explain, Guy-sensei! You go with Zabuza to support the Third Hokage. Haku, Naruto, come with me to take down that stinky tanuki!"

He paused, then added, "Remember to use the Day Tiger."

Upon hearing this, Kai's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock.

He had never mentioned this technique to anyone outside the group and couldn't understand how Ryukura Akira knew it, but the situation was urgent and there was no time to ask. "Okay!"

Shukaku's eyes swept over, locking onto the group moving towards him, and he let out another arrogant laugh: "Hahahaha, little things, come and play with me."

Akira Ryukura looked up and stared directly at Shukaku, who was tens of meters tall. "Is it still small now?"

"Roar!!!"
