Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 536 Acquaintances

"This guy!"

As Fugaku stopped performing his technique, the water wall surrounding Kabuto began to slowly recede.

Upon seeing the scene again, even Jiraiya, who was in a relaxed state, couldn't help but twitch his eye.

"Looks like catching this guy won't be so easy!"

Looking at the figure wearing a respirator, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

"It really is a familiar figure!"

He never expected that Orochimaru's henchman, after summoning the Second and Third Hokage, would then summon Hanzo of the Salamander.

This has made things a bit complicated.

"Hehe, isn't Jiraiya-sama happy to see an old friend?"

A wide grin spread across his face, and Dou chuckled.

"If these three are not enough to satisfy you, I have many more acquaintances here."

"Should I summon them one by one?"

"You..." Jiraiya's brows furrowed, his face grim. "Such blatant manipulation of the souls of the dead will not end well!"

From Kabuto's tone, Jiraiya could tell how serious the problem was.

If it were just these three people in front of us, the problem wouldn't be too big.

However, if this Kabuto can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique on a large scale and continuously summon the dead, then he will be quite difficult to deal with.

Not only him, but even Fugaku, who was standing next to him with tears still on his face, clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Lord Jiraiya, we can't let this guy escape!"

Putting aside Sasuke's safety, this guy alone is extremely dangerous; if things go wrong, he could cause massive casualties to the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Hehe, if you can do it, feel free to give it a try!"

Kabuto pulled out another ace, his expression turning cold, and commanded the three men in front of him:

"Go, stop them!"

He himself began to slowly sink into the ground, clearly intending to retreat.

Without the slightest hesitation, nor any maneuvering, flanking maneuvers, or defensive maneuvers.

Upon receiving his orders, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and Hanzo the Salamander charged directly at Fugaku and Jiraiya on the opposite side like puppets.

They didn't care at all whether such a reckless attack would hurt them.

On the other side, at the coalition command post.

"Hokage-sama... Jiraiya-senpai has sent a message!"

Yamanaka Inoichi, who had a strange device on his head, suddenly trembled, clearly having received some startling news.

Even his tone of voice lacked his usual composure.

"Jiraiya?"

"Wasn't I supposed to send him to deal with the suddenly appearing expert?"

When the Second and Third Hokage appeared, Ao sensed abnormal chakra fluctuations.

However, since it was still within a controllable range, Toshiro didn't think much of it and let Jiraiya handle it.

Unexpectedly, there were still unexpected circumstances.

"It's Orochimaru's subordinate Kabuto, who may have used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon a large number of the dead, causing casualties to the Allied Forces."

After calming himself down a bit, Inoichi relayed all the information he had received to Toshiro in one go.

"Haiyi, you mean Impure World Reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, Toshiro didn't react much, but Shikaku was the first to get restless. Even his previously lazy expression vanished.

She stared wide-eyed at Toshiro with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"..."

Toshiro was speechless under Shikaku's gaze.

"Hokage-sama, given your... understanding of this ninjutsu, I wonder if what Jiraiya-sama reported will come true?"

He knows this ninjutsu all too well.

The Third Hokage was forced to step down from his position because he was afraid of the consequences of using this ninjutsu.

If it could be used on a large scale, the problem would be very serious.

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

The Raikage, who had initially been indifferent, saw Shikaku taking it so seriously and asked a question out of curiosity.

"It's... a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage. You Cloud Ninja should have relevant records."

"Its purpose is... to summon the deceased from the underworld through sacrifices, so they can help in battle!"

After giving a brief explanation, Toshiro was surprised that Kabuto had still ended up working with the Akatsuki organization.

"Please forgive my bluntness, but I know about the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu, but..."

As the Raikage's secretary, Mabui has a general understanding of various secret techniques, bloodlines, and abilities in the ninja world.

"However, the dead summoned by this Impure World Reincarnation do not seem to be able to cause too much trouble."

"According to our Cloud Ninja records, the deceased summoned by this ninjutsu can even break free from the caster's control through their own power."

With her slender, willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, Mabui wondered why Inoichi and Shikaku were so tense. Her beautiful eyes, filled with inquiry, were fixed on Toshiro, hoping he would offer an explanation.

Not only her, but everyone in the command center was now focused on Toshiro and Shikaku, clearly waiting for their reply.

"To be honest!"

Now that Kabuto has come forward, Toshiro has nothing left to hide.

"Thanks to Orochimaru's improvements, the Impure World Reincarnation technique can now control the deceased with considerable strength."

"If the offering is suitable, it can summon figures like the Third Raikage and the Second Hokage, whose strength can reach 70-80% of their former strength, and who can be controlled at will."

After giving a brief explanation, Toshiro continued:

"Raikage, let's send a message to the sealing masters in each village and ask them to prepare some sealing talismans, just in case."

"Hmph, this is all the work of Konoha!"

Unable to resist letting out a cold snort, the Raikage could only verbally reprimand Toshiro; he had no other good options.

"Let's do as the Hokage says..."

"There's a new development!"

Hearing that even a powerful figure like his own father could control it with ease, Ai felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to ask another question, he was interrupted.

"The Eight-Tails, along with two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, have left Turtle Island!"

Unable to resist wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Haiyi felt his heart was about to break from the shock.

"As expected, these three guys didn't disappoint me!"

Looking at the Raikage beside him, whose forehead veins were throbbing, Toshiro felt somewhat helpless.

"Tsk! Two Nine-Tails, and now this Impure World Reincarnation technique... Konoha's forbidden techniques really keep coming up one after another!"

After calming down, Ai couldn't help but mock Toshiro.

Let's not even talk about the Impure World Reincarnation.

If it weren't for this joint operation, Konoha's attempt to demonstrate its sincerity, no one would have imagined that Konoha could actually split the Nine-Tails into two.

This series of bizarre moves truly stung the backs of the four major nations.

They were shocked, and didn't have much to say.
