Happy times are always short-lived.
Some people started drawing knives and hacking at each other while chatting. There was no helping it; the caster had issued the order to attack, and no matter how much they held back, they couldn't just keep reminiscing.
Thus, the battlefield became a stage for various father-son showdowns, teaching sessions, friendly matches, and assessment battles. The sounds of weapons clashing were often interspersed with comments, banter, and playful scolding. These kinds of fights were almost more common than serious battles.
These guys who chatted without regard for the atmosphere made those who didn't encounter acquaintances on the battlefield feel extremely awkward. This led some with more comical personalities to force awkward conversations with strangers.
"Although I don't know you, I know so-and-so from your village. What, you don't know them? Then I know your village's Kage, although they don't know me..."
Comical ninjas bring much joy; there's always something to talk about when bored.
As Naruto's clones airdropped the sealing squads to various battlefields, many people more or less made new friends from other villages—whether alive or dead.
No. 001, arriving at the First Division's battlefield, dropped off the sealing squad members and excitedly planned to help out on the battlefield, using up the chakra that the main body had no place for, but the scene before him stunned him.
Was Uncle Fugaku's expression serious?
A smile with tears, tears containing relief, relief with some entanglement, and entanglement also containing anger. He guessed that the unremarkable young man opposite him was a good friend of his in his youth. Looking at the tomoe in Uncle Fugaku's Sharingan, they almost spelled out the words 'I miss you'!
They just exchanged a few Kunai, what's with all the drama, Uncle!
If the usually stern Fugaku was like this, not to mention the others, it was hard to tell whether the battlefield turning out like this was a blessing or a curse.
No. 001 fell into contemplation. It didn't seem right to ruin the atmosphere now, but since he had come all this way, he couldn't let his Dango go to waste, right? So, he ran all the way to the White Zetsu at the rear, holding the Dango high.
This was the drawback of retaining emotions for those reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation. Logically, Orochimaru should also be aware of this, but he still chose to do so, either to appease Obito, or because he didn't have the energy to control so many people at the same time, or because he saw the benefits of doing so.
That was, they would really risk their lives to fight those they didn't like, just like those Kirigakure ninjas who were screwed over by Kirigakure's Blood Mist Policy, or like Scorch Style Pakura, who was sold out by Sunagakure Village.
The most intense fighting was on the Third Division's battlefield, which Mei Terumi was in charge of.
Several Ninja Blade users without Ninja Blades had their eyes on Zabuza, who wielded the Executioner's Blade, and Chōjūrō, who carried the twin blades Hiramekarei.
"That kind of brat is worthy of using a Ninja Blade?" Kisakame, the River Pig Mountain, and the previous unnamed wielder of the twin blades Hiramekarei, set their sights on Chōjūrō.
Chōjūrō looked very timid, but he showed no mercy when he started fighting. Plus, with Zabuza holding the line, he didn't suffer much.
For real excitement, one had to look at the battle between Gan, Wen, and Cui.
Their opponents were the Long Sword: Sewing Needle, which could skewer people into kebabs, the Exploding Blade: Splash, covered with Exploding Tags, and the Blunt Blade: Helmet Splitter, consisting of a large hammer and an axe.
No matter how you looked at it, these three things didn't look like swords, but since people insisted on classifying them as Ninja Blades, there was nothing they could do.
Originally, Kushimaru Kuriarare, Jinpatchi Munashi, and Jinin Akebino disdained fighting together, but they couldn't stand the fact that these three were really difficult to deal with.
As they fought, they suddenly realized that these three things were actually Uchiha!
These three were considered well-informed figures back in the day, and they were shocked when they saw the Sharingan of these three Melon Heads. This wasn't how the Uchiha style should be, right?
Where were your Genjutsu and Ninjutsu? Did you throw them away along with your integrity when you got stronger?
With your behavior, can the coffin lids of the Uchiha ancestors still be held down? The three thought about their own appearances—they all came out of coffins. It was possible that some Uchiha ancestors had also been reincarnated, so their coffin lids probably couldn't be held down.
Boom! The Exploding Blade: Splash slammed into the ground, causing a huge explosion. Gan, Wen, and Cui immediately jumped out of the blast range. The fierce hot wind blew on their faces, almost messing up their hairstyles.
At this moment, the Long Sword: Sewing Needle pierced through Jinpatchi Munashi's back and shot towards Uchiha Gan, who had just landed.
This was an attack launched from a blind spot, taking advantage of the undying nature of Impure World Reincarnation, catching Gan off guard.
At the critical moment, Kimimaro appeared, using a bone blade to deflect the Long Sword: Sewing Needle with one hand, and blocking the descending axe with the other.
"So it's Shikotsumyaku?" Jinin Akebino grinned cruelly, "Why protect the Konoha ninjas!"
Swinging the hammer to strike the back of the axe, the enormous impact caused the sharp axe blade to cut cracks into the sturdy bone blade, ultimately destroying it.
This was the attack method of the Blunt Blade: Helmet Splitter, reputed to be able to shatter all defenses. Only someone like Lei Zhenzi could probably understand such a tooth-aching weapon design concept.
Kimimaro and Uchiha Gan jumped to either side, dodging the cleaving axe, without answering him.
Because Naruto had said that unless you needed to stall for time or extract information during a battle, talk less, because villains die from talking too much. Wait until you've killed or sealed the enemy before considering whether to open your mouth.
As the battles progressed, some people were resentfully sealed, some directly revealed their weaknesses and then cheerfully typed out GG, and some fulfilled various wishes, smiling through tears as they bid farewell to their loved ones.
During the intense battles on various fronts, several unusual Chakras attracted the attention of the Sensory Unit in the command headquarters.
"Only three people, but their Chakras are extraordinary. They've bypassed the front-line troops and are heading straight here!" Shi of the Cloud Village reported the situation of the three to the Five Kage.
"Inoichi, contact the reconnaissance team in that area and confirm the identities of the three."
"Yes." Yamanaka Inoichi immediately began to make contact, able to speak directly with distant friendly forces through the helmet he wore.
A few minutes later, Inoichi said, "Hokage-sama, it's not three people, it's four! They are the Second Earth Shadow, the Third Kazekage, the Third Raikage, and the First Mizukage!"
Inoichi's tone was heavy. He had seen the scene of several Impure World Reincarnation Kage fighting in Konoha before, but according to the information returned from the front lines, this Impure World Reincarnation was not the same level as before. The reincarnated individuals could almost perfectly display their strength from when they were alive. These Kage were definitely a considerable problem.
"What did you say?" The Raikage slammed the table and stood up, "They even reincarnated my old man, those bastards!"
Minato pondered, "So it's those four? One of them can't even be detected by the headquarters' Sensory Unit."
Ōnoki said, "The one who can't be sensed should be Mū-sama. Only he can do that, and he was also the one who taught me to master Dust Release."
"I remember the Third Raikage and the Third Kazekage both have the title of the strongest in their respective generations," Minato said, looking at the Raikage and Gaara, seeing that neither of them denied it, he continued, "The Second Earth Shadow, Mū, is the Third Earth Shadow's teacher. The First Mizukage, Byakuren, is the one who established Kirigakure."
None of the four were simple characters. I'm afraid sending ordinary ninjas to intercept them would be futile.
The Raikage had long been impatient sitting here. Anyway, with Minato here, the command headquarters could be handled in an orderly manner. He might as well go to the front lines to stir things up. Hearing Minato's words, he was even more eager:
"Then we're the only ones who can go. Just what I wanted!"
