Simu stood atop the Institute.
Under the cover of his powerful Observation Haki, he could clearly see the entire battlefield's situation.
However, some doubt still lingered on his face.
How did these special White Zetsu come to be?
In the original time and space, he didn't recall seeing such large numbers.
He feared that due to his own interference, the situation in this world had undergone considerable changes.
After Konoha's enchantment barrier disappeared,
the White Zetsu army and Konoha's forces engaged in a fierce battle.
Though it was fierce, Konoha's ninja still firmly held the upper hand.
Hundreds of Chūnin equipped with [Spellcaster Type I] released attack power comparable to Jōnin,
while those Chūnin wearing [Armed Man Type I] acted as shields.
They were virtually invincible on the battlefield.
It seemed Konoha had instantly gained the combat strength of hundreds of Jōnin.
With the assistance of the four tailed beasts, they directly defeated tens of thousands of White Zetsu.
Two Tails and One Claw fell, their scorching flames wrapping their bodies and burning them to ashes.
"There's something about these guys that I hate,"
Erwei muttered.
The other tailed beasts felt the same way.
At that moment, a familiar voice reached their ears.
"Use the Tailed Beast Bomb."
As soon as the order was given, Yamanaka immediately informed all ninja commanders through the Yamanaka clan's secret technique,
urging them not to engage in ground combat and to leave the battlefield quickly.
Violent energy filled the air of the battlefield.
Yin and Yang chakra rapidly gathered and transformed into terrifying black Tailed Beast Bombs,
which were ejected from the mouths of the four tailed beasts!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
These Tailed Beast Bombs exploded like nuclear blasts, releasing terrifying power.
The surging energy completely destroyed everything within hundreds of meters.
The ground, trees, and enemies all vanished.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand enemies were wiped out.
"This is..."
Simu narrowed his eyes.
Smoke still billowed from Erwei's mouth.
The light above the sky distorted briefly,
and a man wrapped in bandages quietly appeared.
"How embarrassing, actually using the Second Hokage's technique."
The man's face was extremely ugly, his tone filled with frustration.
But there was nothing he could do — his soul was controlled by others.
He floated in the air, scanning until he saw Hokage Yanyan in the center of Konoha.
"Is it time for the Fourth Hokage..."
Then he noticed the four tailed beasts surrounding Konoha.
Seeing Four Tails and Five Tails, his already unhappy expression darkened completely.
Why were Iwagakure's Four Tails and Five Tails here?
Could the Land of Earth have invaded the Land of Fire's hinterland?
But these White Zetsu didn't look like Iwagakure ninjas either.
And Four Tails and Five Tails seemed to be aiding Konoha...
Before he could figure out the situation, his body began to act uncontrollably.
"Disgusting."
He raised his hands and aimed at the Three Tails beneath him.
"Dust Escape·Primary Realm Stripping Technique!"
A white void beam shot out from his hand, striking Three Tails heavily.
This sudden attack naturally caught Simu's attention.
If it was Dust Dun, no matter how strong Three Tails' defense was, it would be difficult to resist.
So Simu made a decisive decision and canceled the Summoning Technique.
The huge Three Tails transformed into a large cloud of smoke and disappeared instantly.
The Dust Escape Light Pillar was firmly embedded into the ground, affecting nearby White Zetsu and Konoha shinobi.
"This guy is Second Tsuchikage, Dust Escape Ninja Wu."
Simu's face turned cold.
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara's subordinates included talented individuals who had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
With Wu here, the others would be just as expected.
Two more figures rushed out from the White Zetsu army.
They wore simple waistcoats, with two sharp horns atop their heads and tattoos carved on their arms.
One's horns were gold; the other's silver.
They were Cloud Shinobi's legendary traitors — the ones who killed the Second Hokage — Golden Horn and Silver Horn!
As they charged toward Erwei, they grumbled:
"Damn, we actually fell under the control of the defeated Second Hokage."
Silver Horn said unhappily.
It was clear the Second Hokage's technique had angered many.
Jin Jiao stared fiercely at the village ahead.
"It's fine. Since that's the case, let's destroy Konoha!"
He stomped the ground and charged into the battlefield.
A small group of ninjas immediately appeared in front of them.
"A mere team of Chūnin."
Seeing these ninjas, Jin Jiao rushed forward with disdain.
A light blue glow appeared around one Chūnin.
His speed surged, and natural energy and chakra formed a solid armor around him.
Without hesitation, Jin Jiao punched him.
"Boom!"
Even the armor made of fairy art chakra couldn't withstand the assault of such a powerful opponent for even a second.
The man's entire body was blasted backward, his armor completely shattered.
Although Jin Jiao had defeated his enemy, he frowned.
Is this armor really that tough?
But something even more unexpected was about to happen.
After the ninja wearing [Armed Man Type I] was sent flying,
two ninjas wearing [Spellcaster Type I] behind him immediately launched their attacks.
"Strengthen Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Strengthen Wind Style: Storm Technique!"
The fire-style ninjutsu combined with wind-style escape ninjutsu, enhanced by natural energy, came together quickly.
A sea of flames instantly formed in the middle of the battlefield.
Its power far surpassed the ninjutsu performed by ordinary Jōnin.
Even Jin Jiao did not expect that these two ninjas, whose chakra volume seemed only at Chūnin level, could unleash such power.
The two brothers were instantly engulfed by the flames.
As the flames gradually dissipated, two figures emerged.
"Ahem, cough, really careless."
Jin Jiao's eyes gleamed dangerously.
At this moment, both were covered in a layer of reddish chakra,
exuding a violent aura.
This was the Nine Tails chakra they had gained by gnawing on the Nine Tails' flesh.
"Is it because of the ninja equipment on their bodies? It seems to have the breath of fairy art."
Jin Jiao said coldly.
As a legendary strong man, being blocked by several Chūnin for so long was a disgrace to him.
"But that's all for now."
With the blessing of the Nine Tails chakra, he charged toward the ninjas in front of him.
"Summoning Technique: Yatai Honkai Technique!"
A huge black shadow smashed into the ground with a heavy impact.
Fortunately, Jin Jiao reacted quickly and dodged aside just in time.
Before him stood a huge toad, on which stood a boy with white hair.
Jiraiya looked at the two enemies below and said,
"It seems these are two famous seniors."
Jinkaku and Yinkaku glanced at the suddenly appeared Jiraiya.
They could feel a powerful aura from him — a strong man of this era.
"Finally, a worthy opponent has arrived."
Golden Horn grinned and jumped toward Jiraiya, kicking with both feet.
"Facing seniors, I can't lose face as a modern ninja."
Jiraiya gathered enough chakra and exhaled a large mouthful of flames.
Unexpectedly, Jin Jiao didn't dodge or evade but used the Nine Tails cloak to resist the damage, appearing directly above Jiraiya.
Seeing this, the toad suddenly drew his long knife and swung it down.
Jin Jiao stretched out his palm, firmly grasping the incoming blade and squeezed hard.
"Clang!"
The long knife shattered instantly, and Jin Jiao descended from the sky, punching both Jiraiya and the toad.
The violent impact shrouded the battlefield in smoke and dust.
"If Konoha's new generation is only like this, we might as well give up the title of the greatest ninja country."
Jiraiya climbed out from the rubble, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
"It seems I underestimated my seniors."
Jiraiya's chest device suddenly lit up.
"Although I don't really like this kind of thing, I have to admit it's really easy to use."
The surrounding natural energy quickly flowed into Jiraiya's body.
Red lines appeared on his face as he entered Sage Mode!
"Sage Mode?"
Jin Jiao's pupils contracted slightly, finally becoming serious.
After all, in their era, those who had mastered Sage Mode were among the best.
The top figure was undoubtedly the legendary ninja god, Senju Hashirama.
But what was happening now?
Not only could Konoha's Chūnin use senjutsu, but now a guy who could enter Sage Mode appeared?
Could it be that Konoha had popularized Sage Mode?
Well, that was better...
Jin Jiao liked strong opponents!
He lunged at Jiraiya again.
The device on Jiraiya's body was called [Senjin Type I].
It was specially designed for ninjas like Jiraiya, who had learned to control natural energy.
After all, besides Simu, only Jiraiya had mastered the magic of Konoha.
Since Jiraiya had mastered natural energy, this device did away with external operation modules.
It directed all energy to absorb natural energy and synthesize senjutsu chakra.
Thus, Jiraiya could now enter Sage Mode alone without summoning the sages of Mount Myōboku.
This greatly improved his strength.
