Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Shuichi Hoshino spoke with great confidence.

Indeed, given the current situation, even if Nagato were to intervene, it would be impossible for him to take the Nine-Tails and the Six-Tails from Konoha.

Even if he doesn't go back now.

However, the more confident Hoshino Shizuka became, the more irritable the Fourth Raikage became, and he turned to leave.

Onoki immediately shouted, "Raikage, it's too late to rush back now. We should capture the Akatsuki members first."

The Fourth Raikage stopped in his tracks and shouted at the Cloud Ninja watching the battle, "Search the surrounding area immediately and find those Akatsuki bastards!"

The numerous Cloud Ninja immediately accepted the order and began their operation.

Following closely behind, the Iwa ninja and Sunagakure ninja also mobilized under the orders of Onoki and the Fourth Kazekage.

Many Konoha ninja looked at Konan in the air: "Lady Konan, should we move out?"

Hovering in mid-air, Konan thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Just follow Lord Shuichi's orders!"

Genma Shiranui and the others immediately held their positions.

The Fourth Raikage turned around, his gaze fixed on the Third Kazekage: "Taking him down might be of some use."

Orochimaru chuckled: "I knew it would turn out this way."

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, the manipulated Third Kazekage began to form hand seals.

The next moment, coffins rose from the ground.

Looking at Hoshino Shuichi, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Shuichi-kun, there's a gift I prepared especially for you here."

Hoshita Shuichi remained calm: "The First and Second Generation?"

"But I'm afraid that if you wake them up, they'll deal with you first."

Orochimaru laughed upon hearing this, "Thanks for the reminder. It seems Shuichi-kun has also researched this technique!"

Orochimaru, hiding in the shadows, grew increasingly wary.

One by one, the coffin lids were lifted.

Second Mizukage, Third Mizukage, First Raikage, First Kazekage, Second Hokage.

Five shadows appeared at once.

Each of them was a figure who once changed the landscape of the ninja world.

"This is a huge problem!"

At this moment, Onoki and the others felt immense pressure.

The numerous Konoha ninjas staring at Tobirama Senju were stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "That's... the Second Hokage!"

"They even summoned the second generation!"

"In that case, could it be that the First Hokage would also...?"

……

Looking at the five Kage, Hoshino Shuichi remained calm.

Although it is infinitely close to the power of the original body, there is still a gap. The stronger it is, the more obvious the gap will be.

However, it's unclear whether Orochimaru has changed bodies yet.

Otherwise, if White Zetsu were used as sacrifices, the strength of these Kage would be very close to that of their living selves.

Especially the Second Hokage, who developed the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

As the coffin sank into the ground, the figures regained their senses.

"What happened?"

"Who resurrected us?"

Several figures looked around.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, immediately understood: "The Impure World Reincarnation Technique?"

"What happened that necessitates the use of this technique to summon all the previous Kage?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Second Hokage, it was Orochimaru who summoned you. He is the disciple of the Third Hokage."

Tobirama Senju frowned upon hearing this: "The monkey's disciple?"

"And who are you?"

Hoshino Shuichi was not wearing a Konoha headband.

Orochimaru, who controlled the Third Kazekage, laughed and said, "Second Hokage, he was the disciple of the Fourth Hokage and is now the new God of Shinobi in the ninja world."

Ok?

The same title as the elder brother?

Tobirama Senju looked at the young Shuichi Hoshishita with a scrutinizing gaze: "The new God of Shinobi?"

"So what's the situation now?"

The other Kage also looked at Hoshinobi Shuichi, and the Second Mizukage said, "Such a young ninja god? Has the ninja world already fallen into depravity?"

"Speaking of which, both the Third Hokage and Onoki are still alive, how come you left before him?"

The Third Mizukage looked at Hoshino Hideaki and said, "Second Hokage, the young people in the ninja world are much stronger than us."

"I could say I died at the hands of the new God of Shinobi, though of course he didn't have that title back then."

The Second Mizukage's gaze sharpened: "This young man is truly remarkable!"

"But speaking of which, why isn't there a Mizukage here?"

"Hey, Onoki!"

"Let me explain the current situation!"

Orochimaru, manipulating the Third Kazekage, said, "The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, has already died at the hands of Akatsuki, the organization I am currently in."

"The current Fifth Mizukage has already married into the Konoha family; he is the fiancée of Shuichi, the new God of Shinobi."

The Second Mizukage frowned immediately upon hearing this: "Did this guy kill the Third Mizukage?"

"Why would you arrange a marriage with this kid?"

"Furthermore, the Mizukage has actually arranged a marriage with someone from Konoha. Has the village fallen to this level?"

The Third Mizukage then added, "It seems that a great change has occurred in my village since then."

Orochimaru laughed and said, "That's true."

"Because the Fourth Mizukage was the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, the Akatsuki controlled him with genjutsu. Once they discovered this, they had no choice but to kill him."

"In order to protect the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and to deal with us, we have no choice but to cooperate with Konoha. I must say, this is indeed a very good solution."

"And now, the reason I summoned all the Kage is to deal with Shuichi-kun."

"This prevents him from having time to rescue the major ninja villages."

The Fourth Raikage shouted, "Fellow Kage, the Akatsuki is now going to collect all the Tailed Beasts and create the Ten-Tails to trap the entire ninja world in a genjutsu."

"Time is running out; we must take care of Orochimaru."

"If you have any senses, please tell us where that bastard Orochimaru is hiding?"

Tobirama Senju coldly replied, "You, Orochimaru, underestimate the Kage."

"In particular, I was the one who created the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, intending to form a hand seal.

Hoshino Shuichi was slightly expectant.

But the next moment, Tobirama Senju froze: "Huh?"

Glancing at Tobirama Senju, the First Raikage said, "It seems even the creator of this technique can't undo it?"

Hoshita Shuichi looked at the Third Kazekage and said, "It seems you've already had the First Hokage's cells transplanted!"

He is still unsure whether Orochimaru received a cell transplant or used the Reanimation Jutsu.

The latter is more likely.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Of course, we need to be well prepared to deal with you, Shuichi-kun."

Hoshino Hideichi's gaze swept over the group of figures, and he smiled, "Their words... are far from enough."

The warlike Second Mizukage was immediately displeased upon hearing this, pointing a finger at Hoshino Shuichi: "Hey, isn't your tone a bit too arrogant?"

"Even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, would never say such a thing to us."

Tobirama Senju nodded: "Although you are excellent, you absolutely cannot be careless when facing us."

"When the battle begins later, we might find ourselves out of control of our own destiny. You especially need to watch out for my teleportation technique, that's... um?"

Senju Tobirama stopped speaking, and then Hoshino Shiki Shuichi's Wood Release clones emerged one after another.

"Wood Release... You don't have your brother's cells in your body... no, you don't have your brother's cells."

Tobirama Senju was shocked: "You've also mastered the same Wood Release bloodline limit as your brother?"

Orochimaru, manipulating the Third Kazekage, laughed and said, "Second Hokage, Shuichi-kun not only mastered Wood Release, but also your Flying Thunder God Technique."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but show a look of relief and appreciation: "In that case, I can rest assured!"

The First Raikage said, "It's too early to talk about that now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body involuntarily unleashed Lightning Release chakra, and then he instantly disappeared from the spot.

boom!

Two figures collided in mid-air, sparks flying and a fierce wind raged.

One by one, the figures looked up, their expressions filled with surprise.

"It's an even more powerful Lightning Release chakra mode than the First Hokage!"

The Second Mizukage was astonished to see the First Raikage flying backwards.

Moreover, the one who fought the First Raikage was a Wood Release clone.

Suddenly, the Third Kazekage made his move, sending a terrifying wind blade straight towards the Wood Release clone falling from the sky.

But another wind-escape technique arrived, and the two forces collided and exploded in mid-air.

The Fourth Kazekage had been released by Hoshino Shuichi, and it was he who made the move.

After dealing with the Wind Release technique, the gold dust surged like a tide, heading straight for the Third Kazekage.

The battle between the two generations of Kazekage has officially begun.

At the same time, Onoki appeared behind the First Raikage and used the Super Heavy Rock Technique before the First Raikage could react. With a loud bang, the First Raikage's body sank and he was unable to move for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the Fiery Netherworld Lock emerged from the ground, binding and piercing the First Raikage.

Orochimaru, who was now hiding in a cave with a barrier, narrowed his eyes: "As expected of Shuichi-kun, I'm afraid we really can't stop these Kage."

The First Raikage was defeated in a single exchange, so...

The Second Mizukage, the Third Mizukage, and Tobirama Senju all involuntarily began forming hand seals.

"Watch out, it's a water escape technique!"

Tobirama Senju shouted a warning.

But before the three could finish their Water Release techniques, Hoshino Shuichi's three Wood Release clones had already completed their Water Release techniques. The surging water condensed into water dragons, which then opened their mouths and bit down.

The three figures immediately dodged.

Rumble!

The water surged, and the entire battlefield was instantly transformed into a swamp.

The Third Mizukage landed on the water and sped off at high speed, rapidly forming hand seals as he rode the water towards Hoshinoichi's main body.

However, the Wood Release clones can be cast even faster, with one ninjutsu after another appearing.

Water Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release—all unleashed at a moment's thought, like a multi-barreled cannon, exploding continuously and instantly obliterating the Third Mizukage.

Without using hand seals, the Five Elements Mastery technique completely overwhelmed the Third Mizukage with just standard ninjutsu.

This was also the first time that Hoshino Shuichi had so brazenly used ninjutsu without a seal in public.

Not to mention the Konoha ninjas like Konan and Genma Shiranui who were watching the battle, even the Kage and Orochimaru, who thought he knew Hoshino Shuichi quite well, were dumbfounded.

On the other side, the Second Mizukage's summoned beast was found by Hoshino Shuichi's Wood Release clone and defeated with a single punch.

Furthermore, there is no room for the steam-powered and dangerous steam to exert its full force.

For others, the Second Mizukage was very fast, but for Hoshino Shuichi's Wood Release clones, it was very slow.

And heating it up is impossible; all that's left is to be beaten.

As for the Third Kazekage, he was being ganged up on by Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, and the Fourth Kazekage.

However, it must be said that the Third Kazekage truly deserves to be called the strongest Kazekage. His iron sand is indeed formidable. Even when he was ganged up on, he didn't look as pathetic as the Second and Third Mizukage.

That is, Tobirama Senju, because he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, was only slightly embarrassed when facing Shuichi Hoshino's Wood Release clones, although he was bombarded by various ninjutsu.

However, the sight of Hoshino Shuichi standing with his hands behind his back while his clones chased after the shadows still left Konan and the others somewhat bewildered.

Are the Kage too bad, or is the God of Ninja too terrifying?

……

Inside the cave, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and muttered to himself, "Although the Kage's strength isn't quite at my level, the difference shouldn't be too great. I didn't expect that just a Wood Release clone would be so powerful... and still have plenty of energy left!"

So far, Hoshino Shuichi has not used the power of his bloodline limit against the Kage, except for his Wood Release clones.

Not to mention the intelligence reports that it possesses a power that is no less than, and perhaps even more powerful than, the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Shuichi-kun never disappoints!"

Orochimaru's gaze involuntarily turned fiery.

The White Zetsu enhanced by Hashirama's cells is indeed a great body, but... Hoshino Shuichi's body seems even more appealing!

However, these few shadows are clearly not enough; they can't even hold the line.

"Hashirama Senju..."

Orochimaru smiled.

On the battlefield.

Suddenly, Tobirama Senju broke away from the battle, shouting, "Watch out, they're about to summon new people!"

Summoning Jutsu - Impure World Reincarnation!

Tobirama Senju completed the hand seals, his expression changing drastically: "Oh no, it's my brother!"

He hurriedly shouted towards Xingxia Xiuyi, "Get ready, my brother is coming out!"

The coffin lid fell shut, and Hashirama Senju stepped out. He looked around somewhat blankly, then paused, his gaze lingering on Tobirama Senju, before exclaiming in surprise, "Tobirama, did you summon me?"

"What time is it now?"

Tobirama Senju quickly said, "It wasn't me, brother. Look carefully. I'm in the same state as you, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation."

Hashirama Senju scratched his head awkwardly: "That's true."

Then he saw the First Raikage and the others who had just been subdued. He recognized the Second and Third Mizukage and asked in confusion, "Weren't we summoned by people from Konoha?"

Tobirama Senju said, "He's a disciple of the monkey. It seems he's already defected from the village and is now in an organization called Akatsuki, trying to collect tailed beasts to create something called the Ten-Tails."

Hashirama Senju's gaze fell on Onoki: "You're the child who followed Mu."

Despite being called a child, Onoki wasn't embarrassed at all, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Hashirama, I am now the Third Tsuchikage."

"As you can see, the dead Kage were summoned by the Akatsuki to prevent us from returning to their aid. They want all the Tailed Beasts, and the situation is extremely critical. Therefore, we hope you can tell us where our weaknesses lie."

Hashirama Senju nodded in agreement: "That's to be expected, it's my weakness..."

After thinking about it seriously, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly: "Um, I'm very sorry."

He quickly turned to Tobirama Senju and asked, "Tobirama, do you know my weakness?"

Tobirama Senju sighed helplessly, while Onoki broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Nan and the others looked stunned.

Is this... really the God of Ninjas?

Why does he look a bit... silly?

Hoshino Shuichi almost burst out laughing; no wonder he was the first generation.

The impatient Fourth Raikage couldn't wait any longer: "Let's just make our move!"

"If the Akatsuki captures all the tailed beasts and creates the Ten-Tails, along with the Rinnegan, then everyone in the entire ninja world will be pulled into a genjutsu world by the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Hashirama Senju's expression turned serious upon hearing this: "The Rinnegan... the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, huh? That matter is indeed quite serious."

After watching the commotion for a while, Xingxia Xiuyi finally spoke up: "First Hokage, with your strength, perhaps you can break free from the caster's control."

Hashirama Senju's gaze fell on Shuichi Hoshishita: "Who are you?"

"Shuichi Hoshino!"

Hoshita Shuichi introduced himself: "A Jonin of Konoha, a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, and a friend of your granddaughter Tsunade."

Hashirama Senju smiled. "The Fourth Hokage's disciple has reached the fourth generation?"

"Is the monkey a third generation? By the way, how's Tsuna doing?"

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "Tsunade is doing very well now. She is already the strongest and most powerful medical ninja in the ninja world."

Hashirama Senju was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Hahaha, is that so? It seems quite good."

The return to the old-fashioned mode left the Fourth Raikage and Onoki extremely anxious.

Unable to bear it any longer, the Fourth Raikage immediately launched a flash attack on Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju instinctively retaliated, kicking the Fourth Raikage who was charging at him away.

Onoki's forehead was covered in sweat: "As expected of the former God of Shinobi, if he were to be completely controlled, then..."

Anxious, Onoki looked at Hoshishita Shuichi: "Hoshishita Shuichi, do you really want to watch things continue to worsen?"

The Fourth Raikage got up from the ground, looking at Hashirama Senju with apprehension: "This guy's power is no less than that bastard Shuichi Hoshino."

Turning his gaze to Hoshita Shuichi, he shouted, "Hoshita Shuichi, even if we can't capture the Nine-Tails and the Six-Tails, with the other tailed beasts gathered, plus the Rinnegan, and other powerful Edo Tensei warriors, even Uchiha Madara, can Konoha handle them?"

"The best option now is for the five great ninja villages to unite against the Akatsuki."

"Your arrogance will harm Konoha!"

Anxious!

They finally panicked!

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled inwardly, but remained unhurried, saying, "The reason I'm still here is because of Uchiha Madara!"

"Tsuchikage, Kazekage, Raikage, don't think of yourselves as so selfless, and don't underestimate my magnanimity."

"Only when I am here will Akatsuki's strongest power come here."

"You think Nagato, with his Rinnegan, is the strongest? You're sorely mistaken."

"Raikage, the information has been shared with you, but you chose not to trust Konoha. So, you can only blame yourselves for losing the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails."

"However, given the choice between losing a tailed beast and having your village destroyed, you would choose the former, wouldn't you?"

Ohnoki could only grit his teeth and remain silent after being scolded.

The Fourth Raikage, who could explode at any moment, also fell silent.

Hashirama Senju's gaze sharpened: "Madara?"

"It seems Madara has a strong connection to the Akatsuki!"

Hoshino nodded: "Back then, during the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha faked his death using the Sharingan's eye technique, Izanagi."

"What?"

Tobirama Senju's expression changed.

Hoshita Shuichi continued, "The Eye of the Moon Project was actually manipulated by Uchiha Madara!" (End of Chapter)
