Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

He struggled to turn his eyes, giving Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul a reluctant look.

It's all because of this guy!

If this guy hadn't summoned it in front of such a terrifying monster, he wouldn't have died!

Filled with endless resentment and regret, Death's soul vanished completely into the air!

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in his soul form, was momentarily stunned.

Having lost the pull of death, his soul was directly pulled back by his body.

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then clenched his fist, feeling the warmth return to his body.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "I actually survived?!"

He quickly came to his senses.

After learning that he had survived because Death had been killed by Urzicio, his pact with Death lost its effect.

Naturally, his soul returned to his body.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a strange expression on his face. Did this mean that Ulquiorra had saved his life?

What a strange turn of events!

The demise of Death plunged the entire battlefield into a brief silence.

The situation changed so quickly that everyone present was caught off guard.

From the Third Hokage's triumphant display of the Reaper Death Seal to the Shinigami's hasty retreat only to be pierced by a single spear.

This battle was incredibly dramatic!

At the same time, they also understood a principle.

It turns out that anything, no matter what it is, will die if it is killed!

Even the illusory Grim Reaper is no exception!

Onoki sighed.

It seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan has failed.

Fortunately, although he didn't kill Ulquiorra, Hiruzen Sarutobi survived.

It's not the worst outcome.

Of course, if Hiruzen Sarutobi can withstand Ulziora's next attack...

Just as Onoki of the Two Scales had thought, only a few seconds after Hiruzen Sarutobi came back to life, Ulquiorra appeared in front of him with a green light spear and stabbed him without hesitation!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils constricted sharply!

Green light and shadow were reflected in his eyes!

My heart skipped a beat!

The suffocating feeling of death instantly enveloped him!

Just resurrected and about to die again?

The thought flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, but unfortunately, this way of dying was too meaningless...

But he had nowhere to hide and could only await death.

Just as the green light spear was about to pierce his heart, a red bubble-like garment suddenly emerged from Hiruzen Sarutobi's body!

Chi-

The green light gun pierced the red chakra cloak!

The force above was instantly neutralized!

Ulquiorra remained expressionless, but suddenly increased his strength.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who did not die immediately, did not let this opportunity pass and instantly formed hand seals!

A simple and unadorned substitution technique was used.

The substitute wood was instantly pulverized!

But Hiruzen Sarutobi had already distanced himself from Ulquiorra.

He looked at the red chakra cloak on his body and couldn't help but glance in the direction of Mito Uzumaki.

He was surprised and thought to himself, "Lord Mito has made a move?"

At first glance, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of relief.

It's always good to be alive.

After all, no one wants to die.

But then came the guilt, because their tactic was to make them fight the Espada in the open.

Gather all their information so that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has a full understanding.

Finally, their trump card, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, will make their move!

Using the advantage of information asymmetry, we will take down all ten Espada!

Of course, it's impossible to rely entirely on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The opposing team had ten members, but they didn't unleash all of their tailed beasts.

If we have all the information about the Espada and combine it with the power of all the Tailed Beasts, the chances of winning against them are extremely high!

In essence, ninja battles are battles of intelligence!

They had already learned this truth during their first semester at the Ninja Academy!

Unfortunately, this tactic, which was set from the beginning, fell apart in the attempt to save him.

Finally, there's the guilt I feel towards Mito Uzumaki.

Since becoming Hokage, he has been working to consolidate his position.

This not only weakened the Senju clan's strength and influence in Konoha.

Even the players from the Uzumaki clan, the family of Mito-sama, were abandoned.

But when he faced death, Lady Mito still saved him despite past grievances.

It was this complex emotion that made him realize how many bastard things he had done over the years!

If he remains Hokage after this war, he must make amends to the Senju clan tenfold!

He swore secretly in his heart.

But he didn't consider what kind of compensation the Senju clan needed now.

What compensation do we need?

Perhaps he had already thought of it, but subconsciously ignored it.

Ulquiorra stopped paying attention to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In his eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi was nothing more than a tiny insect that he could easily crush.

His gaze shifted slightly, landing on the red-haired figure in the distance.

Ulquiorra could clearly sense that the red energy fluctuations emanating from Hiruzen Sarutobi were coming from this woman.

Do not!

To be precise, it came from the thing inside her.

The woman in front of me is just borrowing the energy from the guy inside me.

Ulquiorra's eyes finally showed a flicker of emotion.

Although the woman's energy fluctuations were like trash, the energy fluctuations of the creature within him were unfathomable.

"Oh?"

Kurama's eyes widened slightly in surprise, as if it were looking directly at Ulquiorra through Mito Uzumaki's body.

Nine-Tails couldn't help but laugh, revealing its sharp teeth.

"This guy is indeed a strong one. He was able to sense my presence on our first meeting."

Mito Uzumaki heard Kurama's voice and her expression turned serious.

From Kurama's words, it's not hard to tell that this guy named Ulquiorra has gained Kurama's approval.

The fact that Ulquiorra has gained the Nine-Tails' approval proves that even if there is a gap between his strength and the Nine-Tails', the gap is not that big anymore.

It should be noted that none of the nine tailed beasts have ever gained the Nine-Tails' approval!

"Ulquiorra is so powerful that even you are interested in him, Nine-Tails?"

Kurama snorted arrogantly and said, "This guy is indeed much stronger than that idiot Shukaku, but he's still far from being able to go toe-to-toe with the Nine-Tails!"

However, Nine-Tails suddenly fell silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I can sense that there is an even more powerful force hidden within this guy's body!"
