Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 762 A formidable advance force!
"I can't judge Deidara, but Nagato and Konan should be confirmed dead."

The fact that you cannot resurrect them with Edo Tensei suggests the third possibility. I saw the Fourth Hokage resurrected with Edo Tensei at the Five Kage Summit, and it seems he is also using this forbidden technique to create combat power.

Our current fighting strength is sufficient. It seems we cannot give the Five Great Ninja Villages any more time, otherwise the situation will become increasingly unfavorable for us.

Kabuto's uninvited arrival and the bargaining chips he offered for cooperation made Obito realize that he had previously underestimated the forbidden technique "Impure World Reincarnation".

Over the years, countless heroes of the ninja world have died in battle. They could use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon powerful figures, and the five great ninja villages could do the same.

Moreover, the enemy has a large number of people, and they are obviously more efficient at tomb raiding and grave robbing than they are. Therefore, the longer the preparation time is dragged out, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

"As a forbidden technique, the Impure World Reincarnation requires more chakra to be used to resurrect the stronger the target."

Previously, the Second Hokage, who developed this technique, usually used the Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect cannon fodder with explosive tags attached.

The technique I'm using now is no longer the original Impure World Reincarnation technique, but one that has been improved many times by Lord Orochimaru and me.

It is for this reason that I was able to simultaneously resurrect so many powerful ninjas and restrict their abilities.

Although Konoha has records of this technique, I don't believe anyone can simultaneously resurrect a large number of legendary ninjas using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, just like me.

Orochimaru, as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, had already reached his limit by simultaneously resurrecting and manipulating three Kage-level powerhouses using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Now, Kabuto Yakushi, relying on the legacy left by Orochimaru, has completely surpassed his opponent.

Even if it were the same technique, Kabuto didn't believe the other party could unleash its true power.

"Hmph, that's because you don't understand Kaguya Seiya yet!"

His origins and power are absolutely beyond your imagination.

In short, if you do as I say now, you're just my collaborator. I'm still the one in charge of this Ninja World War!

Obito has encountered Seiya several times, but he has been repeatedly humiliated by him each time, to the point that he now has a phobia of him.

He no longer intends to use the Three-Tails Isobu from Kirigakure. Instead, he will use the smaller Three-Tails as sustenance. Although the Ten-Tails may suffer from some malnutrition, it will be enough to launch the Eye of the Moon Plan.

At the same time that the 100,000 White Zetsu were completed, Obito launched a ninja war at the Mountain Graveyard outside the Akatsuki organization's base.

With all the tailed beast's chakra absorbed, the outer shell of the Gedo Mazo shattered, and the ten-tailed beast, towering over a thousand meters tall, made its dazzling debut.

As for the five great ninja villages, they were all completely dumbfounded when they received the information.

They originally believed that there would still be some preparation time before the Ninja War fully broke out.

After all, even in a team fight, both sides should be in good form, right?

Moreover, wasn't Obito Uchiha's purpose in launching the Ninja War to seize the Three-Tails Isobu from the Fifth Mizukage's body?

The Three-Tails hasn't fallen into their hands yet, right? This guy is already so impatient to awaken the Ten-Tails?
Because the Ninja War broke out suddenly, Obito Uchiha caught everyone off guard.

Therefore, the major ninja villages could only quickly gather their main forces and head to the designated assembly point. In order to stop Obito, they also decided to form an advance force to rush to the main battlefield and curb the enemy's evolution.

Acting as a vanguard at this critical juncture is undoubtedly a dangerous situation.

After all, with the main force yet to arrive, the advance team would have to face 100,000 White Zetsu, numerous resurrected legendary ninjas, and the resurrected Ten-Tails all alone. Considering the immense danger the advance team would face, they would also need sufficient strength to maintain control of the situation temporarily while awaiting reinforcements from the main force.

Therefore, after final discussions among the Five Kage, Seiya was appointed as the captain of the advance force.

And apart from him, Kakashi, Might Guy, and a few others, almost everyone else in the advance team was not alive.

That's right, the phrase "no living people" here means exactly what it says.

Apart from Seiya and a few other living people, the rest of the advance team members were all Edo Tensei ninjas.

This includes the Fourth Mizukage, the Second Mizukage, Nagato, and the Konoha F4 who were also resurrected using Edo Tensei: Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze.

Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were also resurrected through Edo Tensei, were deemed too weak to be eligible to join.

In such a prestigious group, if seniority were the deciding factor, the commander would not be considered Seiya.

However, Hashirama Senju stated that they were already dead and should not interfere too much in the affairs of the present world. In addition, he remembered Seiya from before and acknowledged Seiya's strength, so he ultimately handed over command to Seiya.

During the battle in Konoha, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, also spoke highly of Seiya, and believed that it was the right thing to do not let his older brother command the battle, because his older brother simply did not have the brains.

Since the renowned ninja Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had both said so, the Second and Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure had even less to say.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju have high hopes for Seiya, and the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, are even more proud, since Kaguya Seiya is a ninja from their Hidden Mist Village.

Putting Yagura aside for now, when Hozuki Gengetsu was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the other party was very pleased.

I never imagined that after I've been dead for so many years, Kirigakure would have developed into such a powerful place.

Tobirama Senju and Gengetsu Hozuki were contemporaries. Seeing Gengetsu Hozuki still gloating over the prosperity of Kirigakure and constantly saying "Our Kirigakure is holy," Tobirama Senju's lips twitched involuntarily.

Kirigakure is thriving, but what about Konoha?
When he and his elder brother were resurrected by Edo Tensei, they were completely stunned to hear that the entire Hidden Leaf Village was gone.

Tsunade died even earlier than the monkey, so it's not his fault. Tsunade was only the Fifth Hokage for two or three years. Before Orochimaru attacked Konoha, he could see that Konoha had been weak for a long time, so naturally, Tsunade can't be blamed either.

"Monkey, I entrusted Konoha to you back then, but I never expected you to manage it like this."

First, a traitor attacked Konoha, and now the entire village has been blown up. I'm utterly disappointed!

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's accusations, the Third Hokage's face also showed signs of constipation.

Judging from his age at the time of his death, he was undoubtedly the oldest among those present, yet he was being reprimanded by the Second Hokage like a grandson.

But there's nothing we can do about it, since he's our teacher.

"Teacher Tobirama, it's true that I failed in my teaching of Orochimaru, but I really didn't know about the destruction of Konoha afterward. I was already dead..."

"Shut up! You've managed Konoha for decades, yet the village has become weaker and weaker. Tsunade and the others have only been Hokage for a few years. Do you think you can shift the blame onto them?"

The Third Hokage: (_; Damn it, this is clearly because he doesn't want to blame his granddaughter, so he's making his student take the blame!
“Teacher Tobirama, I don’t think this is my fault alone. Many of Konoha’s decisions are actually made by me and Danzo together.”

(The Naruto arc's stats are terrible, I need to speed things up, otherwise I might not even be able to meet the perfect attendance standard (ToT)/~~~)
