Naruto: On the Night of the Nine-Tails, I Resurrected the Previous Hokage

After visiting the Hokage's residence and speaking with Minato, Orochimaru learned that Kushina ultimately chose to stay in Konoha.

Firstly, he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, and secondly, Naruto had just been born and indeed needed care.

I had only heard about the generous rewards when I said I wanted to participate in Orochimaru's mission, so I joined without much thought.

Kakashi accepted Orochimaru's mission.

However, since the company's framework and initial recruitment of personnel are not yet complete, there is not much Kakashi can do there now, so he will remain on standby for the time being.

After arranging the company's affairs, Orochimaru went alone to the battlefield on the eastern border of the Land of Fire.

……

Eastern part of the Land of Fire.

On a canyon with craggy rocks.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya stood together, with Akimichi Choza, the captain of the Third Division, standing behind them.

In the eastern part of the Land of Fire, on the battlefield against the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha had a total of three forces.

The First Unit, led by Nara Shikaku, consisted of only about twenty ninjas specializing in sabotage and was the main force of all the units in the east.

The second unit was the Sensing Unit, led by Yamanaka Inoichi, which was mainly responsible for detecting enemy intelligence.

The third unit is a feint attack force led by Akimichi Choza, with a total of 400 people, mostly composed of junior and junior ninja, who are essentially cannon fodder.

A gentle breeze ruffled Jiraiya's white hair, which was tied in a braid at the back of his head. He looked up nervously at Tsuchikage, the commander-in-chief of Kumogakure, who was standing on the opposite side of the cliff.

"Orochimaru, are you sure your stuff has the effects you claim?"

Jiraiya frowned and looked at Orochimaru.

Although these were cannon fodder that Konoha could mass-produce, Jiraiya still didn't want them to become Orochimaru's test subjects and waste their lives in vain.

Orochimaru lowered his gaze, toying with the small white snake in his hand, as he answered:

"It's alright, Jiraiya. How could you not trust my things?"

That's exactly why I'm worried—I don't even know how to respond.

However, Orochimaru had repeatedly assured him beforehand, and he himself had tried it out and found it to be effective.

"Lord Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru, I'm leaving now," said Choza Akimichi behind him.

Jiraiya nodded.

Akimichi Choza's somewhat obese body flashed by.

The next moment, it appeared at the very front of the line below.

The appearance of Akimichi Choza was like a signal to start a war, and ninjas from both sides charged forward suddenly.

"Load Fire Release missiles!"

At Akimichi Choza's command, countless fire snakes spewed from the arms of the Konoha ninja, sweeping towards the Kumogakure troops like deadly butchers.

The volley of hundreds of Fire Release techniques resembled a continuously advancing sea of ​​fire, or a red lotus suddenly blooming on the battlefield, illuminating the terrified faces of the ninjas in the Cloud Village.

They were merely cannon fodder, throwing kunai and explosive tags around on the battlefield, and never imagined facing such a powerful offensive.

Tu Tai also looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him in disbelief, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

Puff puff!

Thin films made of rubber blocked his way, intercepting all the incoming flames.

However, he was only one person and could not withstand all of Konoha's attacks.

The first wave of attacks by Konoha killed at least a hundred Cloud Village ninjas.

"Keep your distance, use explosive tags!"

Tu Tai had an extremely keen sense of the battlefield and immediately issued orders.

shhhhhh!

Kunai wrapped with explosive tags rained down on the Konoha troops like black raindrops.

However, walls of water rose up from the ground, intercepting all the explosive tag attacks.

Tutai stared wide-eyed as he watched his attack being easily neutralized.

In the Cloud Village's ranks, the Fourth Raikage A and Killer Bee, disguised as ordinary ninjas, watched anxiously as the Cloud Village ninjas in the center of the field continuously consumed explosive tags in an attempt to break through Konoha's defenses.

This attack by Kumogakure was not a feint; the Fourth Raikage, A, and Killer Bee appeared here to catch Konoha off guard.

The main force, led by Yugito, the two-tailed jinchūriki, was merely there to hold off Konoha's main force.

"Big Brother!" Killer Bee's voice was unusually serious, lacking its usual strange tone.

"I know, better! We have to go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage, A, burst into lightning and sprinted toward the center of the battlefield.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode's enhancement of his physical body granted him formidable defense and unparalleled speed.

The moment the Raikage acted, the ferocious chakra, like that of a tailed beast, immediately caught the attention of Akimichi Choza.

Choza Akimichi's size suddenly increased, and with a flick of his wrist, he delivered a powerful blow to the path of the Fourth Raikage, A.

However, the Fourth Raikage, A, simply raised his elbow and easily blocked Choza Akimichi's powerful blow.

Choza Akimichi understood that the Fourth Raikage could not be allowed to break into Konoha's formation.

"Quickly! Water defenses to support!"

As Akimichi Choza shouted, walls of water rose up, blocking Ai's charge.

One floor, two floors, three floors... twenty floors... fifty floors!

Even though Lightning Release is not afraid of Water Release, the accumulation of quantity eventually leads to a qualitative change.

Ai's eyes widened suddenly; he hadn't seen any Konoha ninja make any hand seals.

Ai didn't understand what kind of technology this was, but he was greatly impressed.

What followed was even greater anger!

"ah--"

As the Fourth Raikage, A, roared, his golden hair stood on end, and the blue lightning arcs on his dark skin shone even brighter.

The Fourth Raikage, A, leaped into the air, preparing to crash directly into the center of the Konoha ninja.

Choza Akimichi immediately blocked the path of the Fourth Raikage, A.

However, Ai's Kun Kun Fist was also highly skilled. He delivered a powerful Iron Mountain Strike to Akimichi Choza's stomach, sending him flying backward and embedding himself heavily in the cliff behind him.

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised to see A suddenly appear.

Just as he was about to go down to provide support, Orochimaru grabbed his shoulder.

"I'll do it, Jiraiya."

Nourished by natural energy during this period, Orochimaru felt incredibly strong.

Unfortunately, there has never been a proper battle. The fight against Danzo was not a real battle because Danzo did not have the Sharingan transplanted into him.

He also hopes to find his place in this world through the battle with the AB duo.

"This is nothing like you!" Jiraiya said, somewhat jokingly.

In Jiraiya's memory, Orochimaru would never cause trouble for him.

On the battlefield.

Just as the Fourth Raikage, A, was preparing to attack the Konoha forces again, small snakes made of chakra suddenly appeared and blocked his path.

Ai infiltrated the feint attack force this time with the intention of assassinating Jiraiya.

Although there were some discrepancies, he did indeed manage to capture the three Sannin.

"By the way, cover our troops' advance!"

After saying that, the lightning around A solidified again, and he charged towards Orochimaru.
