Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Before being extradited back to the Pure Land, these people expressed their gratitude to Naruto, with the Konoha ninjas being particularly proud to have such a powerful Hokage.

The Pure Land that Naruto originally controlled was empty, but now tens of thousands of souls have suddenly flooded in, and Naruto suddenly has an epiphany.

"Hmm? It seems my control over the Pure Land has increased again!"

That's right. When souls return to the Pure Land, the chakra remaining in their bodies will nourish the host, specifically by strengthening the host's control over the Pure Land.

[A reasonable speculation: This might be the reason why the Sage of Six Paths' soul has been able to remain intact for a thousand years, retain its immense power, and even maintain its position as the ruler of the Pure Land.]

However, these souls are no longer summoned by the Sage of Six Paths; instead, they have entered the pure land controlled by their hosts. Perhaps this will give us an advantage in our struggle against the Sage of Six Paths.

After listening to the system's words, Naruto summarized it in his own words: by guiding the soul to the part of the Pure Land that he controls, he can speed up the process of replacing the Sage of Six Paths as the master of the Pure Land.

Thinking of this, Naruto became even more motivated. He spat out a torrent of ink, sealing all the reanimated ninjas on the field and then transferring them to the Pure Land.

Sure enough, Naruto's territory expanded a little more.

However, it's only a small amount, since the strength of this batch of souls isn't very high, and in terms of quantity, it can't compare to the accumulation of the Sage of Six Paths over thousands of years.

"It seems we need to seal away some more powerful individuals."

Just as Naruto was thinking this, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in front of him.

Of course, although it was said to appear suddenly, it was actually like slow motion in Naruto's eyes.

He casually swatted away the lightning and looked at the six people in front of him.

All six of them wore headbands from the Hidden Mist Village, and four of them were carrying strangely styled ninja swords.

Naruto immediately recognized them by their distinctive features—the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

To be precise, there are only six people and four ninja swords now.

Unlike the grunts from before, these six were at least elite Jonin.

Moreover, although they were resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation and their souls were disturbed, they did not feel much aversion to it, and were even eager to kill.

They were somewhat surprised to see Naruto casually disperse the lightning release technique he had used by borrowing the power of the Lightning Blade Kiba.

They then attacked together, the two forming hand seals to unleash the Water Dragon Bullet technique, while the one who had attacked earlier used the Thunder Blade Fang to imbue the Water Dragon Bullet with a layer of lightning, transforming it into a Lightning Water Dragon Bullet.

One of them threw out the ninja sword that looked like a needle, another swung the ninja sword covered with explosive tags, causing a powerful explosion, and a third rushed forward and used the hammer in his right hand to accelerate the axe in his left hand and smash it down on Naruto.

Naruto remained expressionless throughout their fierce attack.

Then Naruto unleashed a massive amount of Nine-Tails chakra from within his body, forming a giant golden fox head. With a roar, he neutralized all their attacks.

"Immortal Technique: Magnetic Release Rasengan!"

Naruto threw out six Rasengans covered with black curse marks, which hit the Six Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and instantly turned into sand as tall as a person, sealing them firmly.

Some of them tried to resist, but they were powerless to break free from the sealing technique enhanced by Sage Mode and Tailed Beast Chakra.

"May your soul depart!"

Now that the seal was complete, Naruto naturally and mercilessly guided their souls to the Pure Land.

Obito Uchiha probably thought that these reanimated beings with infinite regeneration and infinite chakra could at least cause some trouble for Naruto, if not take down Konoha, since these enemies were impossible to completely eliminate.

But Naruto didn't care. He had control over the Pure Land and could simply transfer the souls of the dead back there.

These reanimated troops were clearly being controlled by someone, because just as Naruto's side had dealt with the Six Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, dozens of coffins suddenly appeared in front of them.

The first to emerge from the coffins were Hanzo the Salamander, the former demigod of Amegakure; Mu, the Second Tsuchikage; Gengetsu Hozuki, the Second Mizukage; Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage; the Third Raikage; and the Fourth Raikage.

After they emerged from the coffin, they looked around at their surroundings and reacted in different ways.

Their expressions were particularly interesting when they discovered that they were near Konoha.

Chapter 139 The Shadow of the Past

Upon realizing they were in Konoha, some of them naturally thought that perhaps someone from Konoha had resurrected them using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The Second Tsuchikage looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Naruto, who was wearing the Hokage's robes.

"Why go to such lengths, even summoning us former Kage from the Pure Land? What is the Second Hokage planning to do by summoning us?" the Second Tsuchikage asked in a deep voice.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, frowned and shook his head, saying, "In my time, the Second Hokage had already died, so it should be this person in front of me... Wait, isn't this the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? You actually became Hokage!"

The Fourth Kazekage showed obvious surprise on his face. On the one hand, he did not expect that Konoha would dare to entrust such an important position as Hokage to a Jinchuriki who was known for his instability.

On one hand, before heading to Konoha for the Chunin Exams, he had investigated the Konoha ninjas, with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki being a key focus.

The identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was easy to find out, because even the villagers of Konoha called Naruto "Demon Fox," and with the level of supervision that was completely different from that of an ordinary orphan, they quickly found out that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

According to the intelligence sent back by his subordinates, the Fourth Kazekage's assessment of Naruto was "a hopeless brat who can't control the Nine-Tails at all," and he didn't take Naruto seriously.

He was later attacked and killed by Orochimaru, and did not live to see Naruto display his prowess in the Chunin Exams.

Now that he has been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he discovers that the loser he once looked down upon has actually become the Hokage, and judging from the changes in his appearance, it hasn't been that many years since then. How could this not shock him?

After hearing the Fourth Kazekage's words, the Second Mizukage looked at Naruto and asked, "So you summoned us? Your purpose isn't to start a ninja world war, is it?"

Naruto shook his head: "On the contrary, it was a man named Uchiha Obito who joined forces with the Daimyo to start the Shinobi World War. The purpose of summoning you was also to attack Konoha."

"Uchiha? Aren't they still from your Konoha? Konoha is getting worse and worse, actually letting a brat, and a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at that, become Hokage." The Third Raikage said in a deep voice.

Naruto was speechless after hearing this.

Before he took office, many of Konoha's policies had really created a mess internally, leading to disunity and division, yet he still kept talking about the Will of Fire every day.

“Father, he’s not as simple as he seems,” the Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.

"Oh? You know him?"

The Fourth Raikage nodded: "In fact, I was killed by him, although it was at my request."

Hanzo, the demigod of Amegakure, glanced around and asked coldly with a displeased expression, "Since Konoha is to be attacked, what about your ninja forces?"

"It's ridiculous that the Second Hokage developed this ninjutsu himself, but now the enemy is using it to attack Konoha."

He didn't have a good impression of Konoha. On the one hand, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Land of Rain was used as a battlefield by the three great nations of Fire, Wind, and Earth, causing widespread suffering to its people.

On one hand, he was also tricked by Shimura Danzo of Konoha, who instigated him to fight against the Akatsuki organization, which directly led to his later death at the hands of the Akatsuki in revenge.

"Ninja squads? We don't need those. In any war, I alone will suffice," Naruto said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Hanzo narrowed his eyes, his expression turning hostile: "I was initially somewhat reluctant to be controlled, but since the target is Konoha, and you brat are so arrogant."

"Then let me properly teach the younger generation!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

At this moment, Hanzo wanted to teach Naruto a lesson and also test Naruto's strength, so he immediately used his Water Release technique.

He spewed out a huge stream of water, which instantly transformed into a giant, lifelike water dragon as tall as three people, its sheer presence quite extraordinary.

Orochimaru, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of this scene, relying on the powerful regenerative abilities of the calamity.

"If they've seen the Water Release technique Naruto just used, will they still have the idea of ​​fighting?"

In terms of chakra attributes, Naruto should use Earth Release to counter Water Release.

But Naruto didn't care; he just wanted to boost his Tailed Beast chakra compatibility.

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Great Ball Rasenshuriken!"

A large amount of blue flames gathered in Naruto's hand, spinning rapidly to form a sphere with a fire blade.

The Rasengan quickly grew to the height of ten people, making Hanzo's Water Dragon Bullet seem insignificant in comparison.

"What?! Konoha actually produced a Hokage who is so skilled in Fire Release!" The Fourth Kazekage was somewhat surprised.

The Rasengan and the Water Dragon Bullet collided quickly.

Water is supposed to be super effective against fire, but now Water Dragon Bullet has not only failed to extinguish this giant fireball, it's almost evaporated by it!

Against the Two-Tails' chakra and Sage Mode, mere elemental advantage is insufficient to secure victory.

Soon, the water jet was evaporated to the size of an earthworm and completely dissipated.

The remaining power of the Rasengan struck Hanzo and the others, burning their Edo Tensei bodies to ashes.

However, without using Truth-Seeking Balls, Fire Release alone cannot directly kill a reanimated ninja.

Hanzo's body recovered quickly, and now his gaze toward Naruto was filled with shock.

"This kind of fire jutsu... how is that possible!"

He suppressed his shock and pressed his hands together to the ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

The enormous summoned beast, the Salamander, spewed billowing poisonous smoke from its mouth as soon as it appeared.

Salamanders are extremely poisonous, and are almost invincible, especially on the battlefield.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, if it weren't for Chiyo of Sunagakure and Tsunade of Konoha breaking his poison, at least all those low-ranking ninjas would have perished.

But Naruto didn't care.

After advancing to the Six Paths, his physical strength was no longer on the same level as that of a normal human, and he was not afraid of mere poisonous smoke at all.

Not only that, he also took a deep breath of the poisonous smoke, and the system immediately deciphered the antidote formula.

"Although it's highly unlikely we'll need it."

However, Hanzo's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Naruto's actions.

What is his body made of? Is he even human?

The next moment, Naruto put his hands together in prayer position.

"Diamond Lockdown!"

Dozens of golden chains emerged from behind him, binding the spirit beast, the salamander, and tightening them, forcing it to release its spiritual connection.

Then the golden chains wrapped around Hanzo, immobilizing him and preventing him from using his chakra.

Having landed a successful blow, Naruto instantly moved forward and slapped Hanzo's soul out of his body, pulling it into the Pure Land.

Chapter 140: Kicking Rasa to Death on the Roadside, Beating Up the Third and Fourth Generation Rai

Seeing Naruto use his terrifyingly powerful Fire Release to defeat Hanzo's Water Release, the other Kage simply felt that the younger generation was truly formidable.
