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

[Participate in the war between Konoha and Kumogakure, and you will be rewarded with a pair of overalls.]

Orochimaru: ...

Orochimaru took it out and examined it closely, discovering that it was still a pair of open-crotch overalls meant for toddlers.

He no longer wanted to complain about some of the system's rewards.

He wanted to know which powerful figure in the Naruto world this was.

"Forget it, I'll give it to Sasuke when he's a bit older. Judging by his swagger, this thing should suit him perfectly. It'll also be a testament to my friendship with the Uchiha clan."

Having decided what to do with the overalls, Orochimaru put them back into the system space and continued on his way to the place where Kakuzu and Yugito were fighting.

Learning that Kakuzu attacked the Jinchuriki at this time made Orochimaru think of many things.

Clearly, the disappearance of the Gedo Mazo has alarmed some people.

Orochimaru wasn't actually that envious of the tailed beasts.

Not to mention that the Six Paths Elder is watching, even if they were to revive the Ten-Tails, the final result would likely be that they would become sacrifices for reviving Kaguya.

Orochimaru genuinely wanted a peaceful life in Konoha, which is why he helped Konoha develop some advanced technologies.

However, Orochimaru understood that doing these things alone was not enough. With Black Zetsu, such a filial son, and Obito, born into the family, Konoha could not be at peace.

Therefore, Orochimaru decided to take the initiative and seize control of the Tailed Beasts as well, so that he could easily control them.

……

The heartland of the Land of Fire.

In a dense forest.

As two of the strongest warriors in Kumogakure, Yugito was entrusted with an important task by the village: to infiltrate the Land of Fire and cause some damage, thereby diverting some pressure from the eastern front and allowing Kumogakure to conquer the Land of Fire in one fell swoop.

According to intelligence, a group of Konoha elites led by Nara Shikaku came to intercept them.

Now that they had already obtained their intelligence, Yukito's squad naturally wouldn't run into their line of fire again.

Although Yugito didn't think Nara Shikaku could cause her much trouble.

however……

The man in front of them, wearing a black vest and covered in hideous wounds stitched up with thread, blocked the path of Yugito's team.

He even summoned two strange masked monsters made of black lines, resembling demons from hell, which dealt a heavy blow to Yugito's team in a single encounter!

"You're not from Konoha! Why are you trying to stop us?"

Yugi's beautiful eyes were filled with anger. She had a slender and graceful figure, and her golden hair was styled into a scorpion braid that was hooked behind her back.

He crouched on the ground like a wildcat ready to pounce and tear the enemy to shreds, appearing both intelligent and wild.

However, the numerous wounds all over her body and the tattered clothes clearly indicated that she was in a very bad situation.

Kakuzu on the other side just stared with his green eyes, coldly and indifferently looking at the other's exquisite figure.

There was no trace of pity in his eyes; instead, they looked as if he were looking at a string of numbers.

Indeed, this was the case; if the leader hadn't promised him a substantial reward, he wouldn't have set foot on this land ravaged by war.

Kakuzu clearly had no intention of showing mercy to the woman, ignoring Yugito's question and instead controlling the masked monster to continue forward.

Huhuhu~

A powerful gust of wind "whooshed" out from the blue-faced monster's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball was spat out from the mouth of the red-faced monster beside it.

The wind fanned the flames, and the flames crashed towards the wooden figure like ocean waves.

At this critical moment, Yukito suddenly emitted a bright blue light.

A giant cat demon with two tails and eerie blue flames burning on its body suddenly appeared.

It was none other than the Two-Tailed Horseman.

The flames, like ocean waves, struck Matatabi, but were like mud sinking into the sea, causing not a ripple.

At the critical moment of life and death, Yugito still managed to complete his tailed beast transformation.

However, she did not gain the approval of the Two-Tails Matatabi, and she herself could not control the rampaging tailed beast chakra.

Therefore, she is now in a berserk state, unconscious, and lunging at Kakuzu with bared teeth and claws.

Kakuzu snorted coldly and dodged Matatabi's attack with lightning speed.

In the eyes of ordinary ninjas, tailed beasts are the embodiment of natural disasters, but this is not the case for Kakuzu.

Furthermore, Matatabi, the Two-Tails, is almost the weakest among all the tailed beasts.

Therefore, Kakuzu actually didn't feel much pressure.

Another masked monster emerged from behind.

The masked monster opened its mouth as soon as it appeared.

Composite Ninja Art: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet.

The exaggerated flow of water, accompanied by thunder, was no less impressive than that of the Two-Tailed Matatabi.

Clearly, Kakuzu had held back with that wave-like fire jutsu earlier.

Because his goal was to capture Yukito, not to kill him.

Pfft~ Pfft~

"Roar roar roar!"

The Thunder Water Dragon Bullet was incredibly fast, like a dragon emerging from the abyss. The Two-Tailed Matatabi had no time to dodge, and the terrifying attack struck its body, causing it to scream in agony.

Kakuzu, naturally, was not one to back down once he gained power.

"Fire Release: Head Carving".

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"

"Lightning Release: False Darkness"

Various elemental ninjutsu were unleashed at Matatabi, the Two-Tails, as if they were free.

The Two-Tails Matatabi was only able to appear as a Jinchūriki, unable to unleash its full power. In addition, these ninjutsu were all quite powerful, and the Two-Tails Matatabi was quickly defeated.

The blue flames slowly receded, revealing a slender figure within.

At this moment, Yugito's clothes were even more tattered, but her skin was as smooth as jade.

The complete transformation into a tailed beast allowed her entire body to be bathed in the chakra of the tailed beast, which actually healed her injuries.

Glug glug~

After a series of convulsions, Kakuzu retracted all the masked monsters back into his body.

He was also breathing heavily at this moment.

To quickly defeat the Two-Tails Matatabi, he had to use powerful ninjutsu, and the continuous release of ninjutsu greatly depleted his stamina.

Not daring to linger in the Land of Fire, Kakuzu quickly approached Yugito, grabbed her, and hoisted her onto his back, preparing to return to complete his mission.

Suddenly, small snakes made of chakra emerged from the ground and lunged directly at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu reacted immediately, stomping his toes on the ground and creating spiderweb-like cracks, thus dodging the attack.

Looking up, Kakuzu immediately saw the headband with the swirling pattern printed on it.

"A Konoha ninja? Do you know who the last Konoha ninja I fought was?"

Orochimaru smiled upon hearing this.

He encountered a Wood Release clone of Hashirama Senju and defeated it with all his might.

This can be considered one of Kakuzu's few impressive achievements.

Whenever I encounter a Konoha ninja, I may not fight, I may not exchange the bounty, but I must put on a show of bravado.

Orochimaru doesn't like people showing off to him, and besides, Kakuzu has something he wants.

Therefore, ignoring Kakuzu's problem, they started with zero frames.

sizzle~

Countless fine, long snakes emerged from Orochimaru's sleeve.
