Although Jiraiya had entered Sage Mode,
it was still very difficult to deal with the two brothers, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who had mastered the use of Nine Tails Chakra.
After all, just Golden Horn alone required Jiraiya to use all his strength.
In Sage Mode, Jiraiya's physical abilities were multiplied,
making him comparable to Golden Horn in Nine Tails mode.
But Yinkaku wouldn't just stand by and watch.
While Jiraiya and Jin Jiao fought fiercely,
he took the opportunity to sneak behind Jiraiya.
Crimson chakra surged from his body.
His arm stabbed Jiraiya like a sharp knife.
But Jiraiya was already engaged with Golden Horn.
Although he had been alert to Silver Horn's sneak attack,
he couldn't dodge such a tricky angle and could only try to deflect the strike to avoid vital points.
Just when Silver Horn thought he had succeeded,
a specially made three-pronged kunai suddenly appeared in front of him.
Minato's figure appeared instantly, chakra radiating from his body.
With his other hand, he threw the kunai, stabbing Silver Horn's face.
Faced with this sudden attack, Silver Horn had no choice but to stop attacking Jiraiya.
He turned to block Minato's kunai with the same arm he had used to attack.
"Zero Seven Zero"—"Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique..."
Silver Horn narrowed his eyes.
"Really unlucky. Since my resurrection, I keep running into things related to the defeated Second Hokage."
Minato kept his ninja gear at minimum power.
After all, his chakra was limited and had to be conserved.
If his chakra ran out, he wouldn't be able to react with natural energy to generate senjutsu chakra.
"And you think you gained fairy power with this strange ninja tool?"
Silver Horn sneered in disgust.
As descendants of the immortals, they deeply resented anything that offended the majesty of the immortals.
Minato only smiled slightly.
"Be careful."
Under Yinkaku's somewhat surprised gaze, Minato disappeared instantly.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Silver Horn.
Silver Horn sneered,
"That's just a move of Senju Tobirama's defeated opponent!"
He had anticipated Minato's movement, turned around, and blasted Minato away.
The blow was powerful, cracking the ground deeply.
But before it landed, Minato threw a kunai from his hand.
At that moment, it happened to cross Silver Horn's face.
Silver Horn noticed the kunai and instantly surged with Nine Tails chakra.
But Minato did not appear near this kunai.
Instead, it was the kunai that had been struck by Silver Horn moments ago!
Another kunai, infused with senjutsu chakra, flew toward Silver Horn.
"Boy, stop playing tricks!"
He crushed the attacking kunai with his palm, wrapped in Nine Tails chakra.
At that moment, Minato appeared at the kunai's tip near Silver Horn's cheek.
"This technique is called the multi-stage Flying Thunder God Technique."
A light blue flash appeared.
Minato activated the power of [Caster Type I] in his mouth.
The kunai in his hand almost transformed into a long blue lightsaber, directly cutting off Jin Jiao's head!
His head fell to the ground, but turned into pieces of paper that slowly reassembled at the neck.
Though slow, the regeneration was continuous.
"Sure enough, Wang Zhuansheng is a very troublesome idiot."
"I wish Kushina were here."
Sealing techniques were the specialty of the Uzumaki clan.
It was a pity that Konoha didn't expect something like Impure World Reincarnation to be used in this attack.
Therefore, their preparation for sealing was insufficient.
Simu observed everything carefully.
Judging by Silver Horn's recovery speed, the caster level of this Impure World Reincarnation was not as strong as the one from the Beijing Time-Space.
And the number of reincarnations was far from enough.
Maybe they didn't want to reveal all their strength at once?
Suddenly, Simu raised his eyes.
On the rooftop at the edge of Konoha, two coffins popped open abruptly.
Konoha's ninjas quickly surrounded them.
But as the coffins slowly opened, their expressions turned serious.
Both were wearing armor—one red, one blue.
The red-armored one had black hair; the blue-armored one, silver hair.
If one looked closely, they would see that their faces were exactly the same as those of the Hokage in the past!
Only now, there were more cracks on their faces.
"Master First Hokage..."
"Master Second Hokage..."
Senju Hashirama looked at Konoha before him and instantly understood what had happened.
He glanced at his brother beside him with great displeasure.
"Hashirama, as I said before, the ninjutsu of Impure World Reincarnation was a mistake!"
Senju Tobirama's face was extremely grim.
After all, they were now being controlled by others through the very techniques they had created, repeatedly destroying the village they had once guarded with all their hearts.
What an irony.
Therefore, even with his strong personality, Tobirama remained silent for a moment.
"Hopefully, someone can stop us."
Hashirama felt a bit helpless, as he could already feel his body beginning to move involuntarily.
The ninjas on the opposite side were still sluggish and slow to react.
Tobirama reminded coldly,
"Senior Konoha, we are your enemies now. Don't hold back—act quickly!"
Tobirama's words jolted them into action.
Before they could move, a flash of light completely shattered the upper body of the Second Hokage.
The lightsaber's wind ruffled Hashirama's hair.
Looking at Tobirama, who now only had his lower body left, Hashirama smiled.
"It seems Konoha's juniors are not bad."
He looked toward the tallest building in the middle of the village.
Rei stood there, wearing the Hokage robe, slowly descending with a giant bow and arrow in hand.
"Is that the Fourth Hokage...?"
Hashirama clapped his hands.
Rei seemed to have anticipated Hashirama's thoughts.
With his ninjutsu style, if a battle broke out in Konoha, most of the village would probably be razed to the ground.
So Rei appeared in front of Hashirama before he could perform any ninjutsu.
"Lightspeed Kick!"
Rei had no time for idle words. He kicked the slow-moving Hashirama into the battlefield.
The violent explosion caused by the impact startled many ninjas.
"Quickly end the battle."
Rei ordered the tailed beasts...
The tailed beasts accelerated rapidly.
Although Rei was talkative on normal days, once he got serious, he became terrifying.
If anyone still dared to sabotage their mission now, they might get caught by Tongmu and be roasted alive.
Rei re-summoned the Three Tails to join the battle.
In the center of the battlefield, Hashirama slowly stood up, his body showing a gap where he had been injured.
Looking at the four tailed beasts, his face showed a hint of confusion.
The tailed beasts I helped collect... were all gathered by this kid, the Fourth Hokage?
Tobirama's body recovered quickly, and once fully restored, he was kicked by Rei and flew into the battlefield.
He didn't want the village he had worked so hard to build to be destroyed in this battle.
Orochimaru focused on the First and Second Hokage.
Therefore, their recovery speed was far slower than Golden Horn and Silver Horn's.
Though they were brothers too, the strength of the First and Second Hokage was clearly much greater than that of Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
Watching Rei also appear on the battlefield, Hashirama warned,
"Fourth Hokage, I can no longer control my body. Be careful."
"Although this body can only exert one-tenth of its original power after being reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation, this power is still extremely dangerous.
Not to mention, Senju Tobirama is assisting on the side."
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Hashirama clasped his hands, and a terrifying wooden dragon rose from the ground.
It opened its huge mouth and bit at Rei.
Rei sighed.
"If you can only exert one-tenth of your strength, then please go back."
Rei also clasped his hands.
Then, under the astonished eyes of Hashirama and Tobirama, tens of thousands of lightsabers appeared behind the same sleeper.
He was already in Sage Mode.
"Immortal Art: Lightsaber Sanctuary!"
The dazzling golden light erupted wildly.
The moment the wooden dragon collided with the golden light, it withstood tens of thousands of slashes, then instantly turned to dust and disappeared.
Tobirama hurriedly closed the seal.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bomb Technique!"
As soon as the water dragon appeared, it was cut off by Rei's lightsaber.
Rei opened his palms.
The golden light condensed into a dozen long rods, like steel bars, in his hands.
They flashed forward, piercing Tobirama's body and pinning him firmly to the ground.
"Damn it, as expected, this body is too weak!"
Tobirama was deeply humiliated.
He had been in the ninja world for decades—when had he ever been humiliated like this?
Hashirama laughed loudly.
Though those controlling them behind the scenes could manipulate their actions, they could not control their words or expressions.
But as soon as he laughed, Rei appeared in front of him.
The terrible attack came down like a torrential rain.
Even the First Hokage could barely defend himself.
After Rei left, Kushina's labor also reached its most critical moment.
At that time, two advisors appeared.
"Sorry, no one is allowed in or out here."
Kakashi appeared instantly in front of them, one hand resting on the short sword on his back.
Facing Kakashi's blockade, Utatane Koharu said coldly,
"Now that the Hokage is not here, it is our duty to protect the safety of the Nine Tails' Jinchūriki!"
Kakashi was unimpressed.
"I said, no one is allowed in."
