"Orochimaru, you're really cautious enough." Muyue looked at him with a mocking expression.

"Hehehe, it's natural to be cautious when facing someone like the First Hokage." Orochimaru said shamelessly, "Otherwise, wouldn't that just be giving Mugetsu-kun an advantage?"

"Hmph." With a cold snort, Wuyue said, "But do you think the First Hokage, whose strength has been suppressed by most of his power, can cause me any trouble? Or do you have other trump cards hidden?" Even though his whole body was bound by Wood Release, his expression remained unmoved.

"As expected of Mugetsu-kun, you saw through me so quickly." Laughing, Orochimaru moved his hands and summoned another dark red coffin.

Squeak.

The coffin lid opened, and a man dressed in Sengoku-era armor stepped out—Uchiha Madara.

"So that's how it is, it really was him." Wu Yue said, just as she had expected.

"Hmm? Not a complete resurrection, but an Impure World Reincarnation?" Stepping out of the coffin, Madara Uchiha examined his condition. "What happened to Nagato? Did you reincarnate me?" He turned his gaze to Orochimaru.

“That’s right, senior.” Even Orochimaru could only remain humble in the face of this legendary ninja. “There is an existence before you that is beyond your power. Therefore, we have no choice but to ask you for help.”

"Unable to defeat him?" Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping across the arena. "Yūhi Mugetsu, it's you!" In that instant, he conjured up various scenarios of his plans being ruined, and his tone abruptly changed. "As expected, you are the biggest variable."

“We meet again, old man.” Wu Yue didn’t seem to care about his tone, and said as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, “What’s it like down there?”

"You know me?" Ban's expression froze, and he frowned. "You recognized me from the very beginning?"

"Hmm, that's true." Wuyue blinked, instantly breaking free from the Wood Release's restraints, and smiled. "After all, back then, you were the only one who could use the Sharingan to that extent and be so powerful. However, because my strength was weak at that time, it would have been troublesome if you had noticed. So, I didn't expose you. How about that, wasn't my acting pretty good?"

"So, you think your current strength is enough?" Madara Uchiha's tone turned cold. His gaze towards Mugetsu even carried a hint of resentment. He, a schemer who had plotted against the world, had actually been outmaneuvered by a mere brat. How could he tolerate this?

Boom!

An incredibly powerful chakra suddenly surged from Madara Uchiha's body. This terrifying pressure was like a mountain descending from the sky, making it impossible for him to lift his head or breathe.

In an instant, everyone, including Orochimaru, felt a sense of impending doom. Those with weaker strength prostrated themselves on the ground, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

Even the Second Mizukage, who had already died, felt a chill run down his spine. He stared at Madara Uchiha in horror, muttering, "This...this is the power of a legendary god-level ninja? Terrifying, truly terrifying!"

"Whether it's enough or not, you'll know soon enough by trying it yourself, won't you?" Wu Yue said with a calm and relaxed expression.

"Good, very good!" Seeing that his opponent could disregard his aura, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but think more highly of him. It seemed that after all these years of growth, his opponent had indeed become a major threat. He raised his hands and began to form hand seals.

In that case, let's put the matter of resurrection aside for now and deal with this guy in front of us.

Chapter 0463 Growth!

"Damn it, Shino, Kiba, how are you?!" In the Hengduan Mountains, in a continuous forest, Nara Shikamaru was tense, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at a large group of White Zetsu in front of him.

"He won't die yet!"

"no problem."

Behind him, Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka stood up with disheveled expressions, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

"These guys aren't that strong, but they're still quite troublesome."

"Compared to them, the Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja hiding among the crowd are the real trouble."

"In any case, we need to rejoin the main force first." Shikamaru gritted his teeth and said, "Break through!" He formed hand seals.

Secret Technique: Shadow Head Binding the Neck!

Swish swish.

Several black shadows extended from beneath his feet, swiftly constricting the throats of several White Zetsu before him, quickly suffocating them.

Behind him, Shino Aburame also released his parasitic insects, a terrifying swarm that completely engulfed the two 757 White Zetsu in front of him.

"Fang Lang Fang!" Kiba Inuzuka joined forces with Akamaru, acting as a vanguard, and cleaved a path through the White Zetsu crowd.

"Go!" Shikamaru made a quick decision and retreated through the passage. Shino Aburame followed closely behind.

Boom!

Just as they were advancing forward, the ground suddenly shook violently, with a force as great as an earthquake.

Looking to the side, one can see a giant, entirely dark red, suddenly rising between the distant mountains, exuding a terrifying yet majestic aura.

“It’s Itachi-sama’s Susanoo.” Shikamaru recognized the giant at a glance. “The main force is already over there.”

"They've even activated Susanoo! Is Itachi-sama also in a tough fight?" Kiba asked, his face full of astonishment.

"No matter what, let's go there first." Shino pushed up his sunglasses and said, "This is not a place to stay for long."

They ran at full speed and soon emerged from the jungle. The scenery before them suddenly opened up. 7=?

"This aura... could it be Kakashi-sensei or the future?" Shino's parasitic insect sensed the commotion nearby and pointed with his right hand. "They're over there."

·

"Hurry up and go meet them." Shikamaru nodded.

However, before they could launch another attack, several figures suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

"Oh, there are three people."

"It seems our efforts in guarding this place haven't been in vain."

"This is our good fortune, and your misfortune!"

Appearing before Shikamaru and his companions were five Cloud Ninja. They all wore amused smiles, looking at the group as if they were lambs to the slaughter.

"Be careful, these are all Jonin." As a sensory ninja, Shino immediately warned.

"Jonin? Five of them?" Kiba's gaze turned slightly serious. "This is getting a bit troublesome."

"Watch out, they're coming!" Shikamaru shouted a warning, and the enemy moved decisively.

Five people, from five different directions, suddenly attacked them. These Jonin from Kumogakure were clearly very proficient in the Body Flicker Technique; their speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to follow them.

"Danger!" Shikamaru suddenly sensed danger and frantically retreated.

"Fang Lang Fang!" Kiba Inuzuka chose to fight head-on, his body and Akamaru transforming into a terrifying whirlwind as he charged straight at the enemy.

Bang.

A muffled thud.

Kiba Inuzuka grunted and took several steps back. The Cloud Ninja opposite him let out a soft exclamation, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Not bad strength. Looks like I underestimated you."

"Kiba!" Shino was worried about his teammates, but he neglected the fact that he was also within the enemy's attack range. A Cloud Ninja's blade instantly approached his body, thrusting sharply towards his throat.

puff.

Shino's throat was pierced instantly, but strangely, not a drop of blood flowed out. Instead, small black worms crawled out of his wound.

Splash!

Finally, Shino's body completely dissipated, and a massive swarm of insects flew up and quickly pounced on the enemy in front of him.

"Damn it, it's the Shino clan from Konoha!" The Cloud Ninja gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly erupted with layers of electricity, crushing the swarm of insects.

"Secret Technique: Shadow Stitching Technique!" Shikamaru shouted softly, and the Cloud Ninja's body instantly stiffened, unable to move at all. Taking advantage of this opening, the parasitic insects that hadn't died quickly crawled towards his body.

"You brats, it seems you've forgotten I exist!" At that moment, another Cloud Ninja hidden nearby launched a sudden attack. His surprise attack strategy was perfect; neither Shikamaru nor Shino could escape and could only watch helplessly as their opponent drew closer.

"Oops!"

"Ruined!"

These are the true feelings of Shikamaru and Shino. Under these circumstances, they are powerless to mount any resistance.

Bang.

Then, before the man could get close to them, a fair and jade-like arm suddenly appeared, slapping the Yun ninja in the chest and sending him flying.

Hinata?

"Hinata-chan?"

Indeed, the newcomer was Hinata, with long black hair and dressed in a conservative white outfit. Moreover, it wasn't just Hinata herself. Two other girls in maid outfits were also present: Samui and Yugito.

Chapter 0464 Reinforcements, reinforcements!

Bang bang bang.

With the reinforcements of Hinata, Yugito, and Samui, the five Cloud Ninja were quickly taken down. The commotion caused by the battle also attracted the attention of Kakashi, Mirai, and the others.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's so good to see you."

Samui and Yukito thoroughly examined the future before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Tsk, Samui-neechan, Yugito-neechan, I'm not a child anymore." Mirai sighed helplessly, "Besides, don't we still have Kakashi-sensei and Aunt Rin?"

That's right, after defeating Obito, Rin also joined Konoha's forces. Their high-level combat power has gained another strong ally.

“Your Highness is the future heir of the Fire Kingdom, so it’s always good to be careful,” Samui said softly, shaking her head.

"Alright, alright." Mirai didn't intend to continue arguing about this. "By the way, where are Aunt Yecang and my mother?"

“They should have been assigned to the vanguard, along with Yui, Saori, and Rina.” Yugito paused, then said, “Don’t worry, with their strength, nothing should happen to them.”

“Um, I just saw Itachi from the previous unit activate Susanoo over there.” At this moment, Shikamaru stepped forward and interjected, “Should we go and join them now?”

"This should be the best way for now," Kakashi nodded.

“Yes, that’s true…” Lin agreed. However, before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed. “Get out of the way!” She immediately pulled Wei Lai aside and retreated.

The others present reacted just as quickly. They all felt a terrifying aura descending from the sky. Forcing themselves to stay alert, they scattered in all directions.

Boom!

A powerful shockwave exploded where they had been standing. It was as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky, turning the entire area into a crater several meters in diameter.

In the center of the pit, six men and women dressed in identical clothing appeared. They stared coldly and calmly at the people present.

“Those eyes…” Kakashi froze, a look of astonishment on his face.

“It’s the Rinnegan.” Samui frowned.

“Then, according to Master, they must be Payne.” Yugito said warily.

"Pain?" Kiba Inuzuka clearly didn't understand what Pain meant. There were supposed to be six people, so why was there only one name?

"The Six Paths of Pain is their common name." Kakashi pushed up the headband covering his eyes and said, "The Deva Path, the Human Path, the Preta Path, the Animal Path, the Asura Path, and the Naraka Path. Each person represents the power of one of these paths. The Rinnegan is their mark."

"That's enough, foolish mortals." Pain stepped forward and said calmly, "You will receive the punishment of the gods." As his words fell, the other five figures flashed and rushed towards each other from different directions.

"Be careful!" Lin warned, "These guys aren't alive. Do your best to destroy their bodies!" As she spoke, she rushed towards the hungry ghosts opposite her.
