Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

Thus, the Third Raikage's body quickly turned to ash and vanished, never to be restored. His soul, like that of the Second Tsuchikage, returned to the underworld.

At this point, there was no enemy on the entire battlefield who could pose a threat to Tsunade.

She turned her head and looked at Yahiko in the distance again, then suddenly gave a cold smile.

The next second, Tsunade's figure vanished from the spot, activating the Body Flicker Technique, and rushed towards Yahiko and the group of Amegakure ninja.

"That woman...she, she's coming!"

The Rain Village ninjas were so frightened that they scattered and fled in panic, ignoring Yahiko.

"I messed it up again, didn't I? Nagato, I'm sorry, I'll have to ask you to clean up this mess."

As Yahiko watched Tsunade approach menacingly, he silently said to himself, then raised his hands and quickly formed a hand seal for a summoning jutsu.

boom!

Tsunade decided to let her fists do the talking. Her body erupted with purple energy as she punched Yahiko, intending to blow him to pieces on the spot.

At the critical moment, with a "bang," a cloud of white smoke dissipated, and Nagato, sitting in a wheelchair, was summoned and stood between Yahiko and Tsunade.

"Shinra Tensei!"

With a cold shout, his Rinnegan unleashed a powerful repulsive force, colliding head-on with Tsunade's Sage Art: Super Strength Fist.

boom!

After a violent clash of chakra, both sides ended up taking a step back: Nagato's wheelchair slid back more than ten meters and almost fell to the ground, while Tsunade also stumbled back seven or eight steps before finally regaining her balance.

“Nagato…” Yahiko quickly helped Nagato’s wheelchair and told him what had happened on the battlefield, especially the information about Tsunade.

Oh? Is that so?

Nagato appeared quite surprised upon hearing this, and his Rinnegan eyes turned to Tsunade opposite him. His gaze quickly sharpened.

"This is……"

What Nagato saw in his eyes was not a human being, but a vast and surging chakra, like a nebula in the dark night sky, so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

How can it be?

Nagato's eyes narrowed, his face showing surprise, deeply shocked by the amount of chakra Tsunade possessed.

It's important to know that he himself possesses the bloodlines of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans, is born with a Sage Body, and has a chakra reserve far exceeding that of ordinary ninjas. The only one who could rival him in this aspect was Kisame Hoshigaki, whom he considered his greatest threat and who was already dead.

Nagato always believed that, apart from him and Kisame Hoshigaki, there could never be a third ninja in the world whose chakra reserves could rival those of the two of them.

Unexpectedly, not only has it appeared, but Tsunade's chakra reserves far exceed those of him and Kisame Hoshigaki.

That's right, far exceeding.

Nagato glanced at Tsunade and was certain that the amount of chakra in her body far exceeded his own; even the chakra of the tailed beasts was insignificant compared to Tsunade's.

What happened to this woman? How did she manage to do it?

Nagato's eyes flickered, his mind filled with questions. However, he didn't have much time to figure these things out, because Tsunade was about to make her move against him.

"Was it Kisame who did those broken legs? He's so useless. He traded his life for someone else's legs. He's utterly shameful."

Tsunade glanced at Nagato's legs, which had just been reattached and were still recovering, and muttered to herself, offering her usual sarcastic remark. Unfortunately, Kisame was already "dead" and could no longer hear her sarcasm.

"Lady Tsunade, you should thank me."

Suddenly, Nagato looked at Tsunade and spoke.

"Why?" Tsunade frowned slightly, not understanding what the other person was talking about.

"As you can see, I'm not very mobile right now, so it's not suitable for me to fight you. However, in order not to spoil your fun, I've prepared two opponents for Lady Tsunade. You'll understand what I mean once you see them."

Nagato gave a mischievous smile, then raised his hands and completed the hand seals.

Tsunade didn't stop Nagato; instead, she simply stood there with her arms crossed, wanting to see what kind of trouble he could come up with.

Rumble.

Amidst a tremor in the ground and a cloud of dust, two large yellow coffins slowly rose from the ground under Tsunade's watchful gaze.

It's another reincarnation in the Impure World.

Ok?

Tsunade immediately noticed that the two coffins were engraved with the red characters "初" (first) and "二" (second), respectively. The characters were solemn and dignified, seemingly indicating that the people sleeping inside were of very unusual status.

Could it be...? Tsunade was suddenly startled.

The next second, two loud bangs.

The lids of the two coffins were lifted by an invisible force and fell forward onto the ground. Two figures awoke from inside the coffins and slowly walked out.

One of the two men had long black hair, a resolute and brave face, and wore a red suit of armor in the style of the Warring States period; the other had short white hair, a cold face, and wore a suit of armor.

The two men have a similar brow, making them look like brothers.

In fact, they were indeed brothers, and also Tsunade's grandfather and great-uncle, as well as the First and Second Hokage of Konoha—Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

Upon seeing the two of them, Tsunade was caught off guard and stood frozen in place, finally understanding the meaning behind Nagato's words.

"Is this feeling... the Impure World Reincarnation...?"

After emerging from the coffin, Tobirama Senju first looked down at his cracked body and muttered to himself. As the one who personally developed this forbidden technique, he was extremely familiar with the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, Tobirama never imagined that one day after his death, he would become the object of the Impure World Reincarnation.

“My foolish brother, I told you long ago, never break the taboos or fool the souls and bodies of the dead, or you will be punished sooner or later. See, my words have come true.”

Hashirama Senju adopted the demeanor of a composed elder brother, patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

Tobirama rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to his hypocritical older brother. Instead, he frowned and looked around, saying in a deep voice, "What I'm more curious about is, who was the junior who resurrected us two brothers from the underworld?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Tsunade not far away.

"Hey, who's this woman? She's quite pretty, hehe."

Hashirama Senju's gaze was also drawn to Tsunade. Looking at her blonde hair, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Tsunade's expression froze, and her gaze turned cold, as if she could kill, causing Hashirama Senju to tremble.

Speaking of which, when he passed away from a serious illness, Tsunade was still very young, just a little girl. Now, more than thirty years have passed, and Tsunade is practically a different person compared to when she was a child, so it's normal that Hashirama didn't recognize her immediately.

However, compared to his oblivious older brother, Tobirama Senju was meticulous and had an exceptional memory. In addition, he had seen Tsunade as a young girl, so he quickly connected the woman in front of him with his grandniece from his memories.

"Tsunade, is that you?"

Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju asked.

"what?!"

Before Tsunade could answer, Hashirama Senju was startled, staring at her in disbelief, and muttered, "She, she's Tsunade? My...granddaughter?"

"What else? Big brother, your reaction is as slow as ever." Tobirama Senju rubbed his forehead, looking quite helpless.

"Grandpa, Second Grandpa, it's been a long time."

At this moment, Tsunade spoke softly, greeting the two somewhat awkwardly. She hadn't expected to reunite with her two deceased elders in such a setting and in such a way.

"Tsunade, it really is you! I was wondering why there was such a beautiful woman. Turns out she's my granddaughter. Oh well, it's alright now, haha."

Hashirama Senju was overjoyed, scratching the back of his head and chuckling foolishly. As he spoke, he took a step forward, instinctively wanting to walk towards Tsunade, and asked, "By the way, did you use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon me and Tobirama?"

However, the step he took forward failed to land, and his entire body was suddenly bound by an invisible force, as if frozen into a sculpture, frozen in place.

"Big brother, haven't you figured out the situation yet? The person who summoned us isn't Tsunade; on the contrary, it's very likely her enemy."

Tobirama Senju frowned as he spoke, then gestured for Hashirama to turn around. Both of their gazes turned to Nagato behind them.

241. The two who were giving up

"You are……"

When the eyes of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju fell on Nagato, the two brothers quickly shrank back, revealing expressions of surprise.

"I am the one who summoned you from the underworld."

Nagato spoke calmly, a glint in his eyes, satisfied with the expressions on the two brothers' faces.

“Tobirama, if I’m not mistaken, those eyes…” Hashirama Senju stared at Nagato, frowning, and confirmed his guess with his younger brother beside him.

“That’s right, brother, that’s the Rinnegan. It’s the legendary eye of the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of the Ninja Sect. There’s an incredible and great power residing in those eyes,” Tobirama Senju said solemnly, his expression grave.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nagato. Some say I am the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, while others say I am the child of prophecy, the savior of this world. But in any case, one thing is certain: I will use these Rinnegan to clear away all obstacles in my path and bring true peace to the ninja world."

Nagato, under the brothers' surprised and suspicious gazes, said this, gesturing for them to look around, "As you can see, this is the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Under the orders of the Daimyo of the four countries, the Allied Shinobi Forces are attacking Kirigakure, attempting to eliminate the rebellious and evil forces entrenched here. The purpose of my summoning you two is to ask for your help in defeating the Allied Shinobi Forces' greatest enemy, that woman named Tsunade."

what?

Upon hearing this, Hashirama and Tobirama were even more surprised, and at the same time felt very puzzled and confused.

"The Fourth Shinobi World War? So many wars have broken out in the shinobi world since the deaths of my brother and me? This war is a joint attack by the four great shinobi villages on Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) in the Land of Water?"

Hashirama Senju surveyed the entire battlefield, his gaze sweeping over the tens of thousands of Allied Shinobi Forces before finally settling on Tsunade on the opposite side. He frowned and said, "But Tsunade is my granddaughter, the princess of Konoha. Why does she seem to be standing on the opposite side of the Allied Shinobi Forces, fighting for Kirigakure?"

"Tsunade, what's going on?" Tobirama Senju asked, also looking at Tsunade.

Tsunade remained silent upon hearing this.

"Let me tell you both. Lady Tsunade seems to be too ashamed to answer your questions."

Nagato, with an air of anticipation, revealed a shocking truth to the two: "Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage and the princess of Konoha, betrayed her village a year ago, joined Kirigakure, and became the wife of the Fifth Mizukage."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Hashirama and Tobirama exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and disbelief in each other's eyes. Then, they asked Tsunade in unison, "Tsunade, is this true?"

“Grandpa, Second Grandpa, I did leave Konoha, but it wasn’t defection. As for why I left, you should ask the people of Konoha; they happen to be here.”

Faced with the questioning from her two elders, Tsunade remained calm and coldly replied.

Ok?

From Tsunade's words, the two discerned a hidden story. They turned to look at the Konoha people not far away, and immediately noticed the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, among them.

"Nagato actually used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive the First and Second Hokage, this..."

Jiraiya's expression was solemn, his face ashen. Including the Second Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage, Nagato had essentially resurrected all the strongest figures in the history of the major ninja villages and manipulated them as puppets.
