Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 248 Then I'll let you die again!

"Haha, Kakashi, you're here too! I thought you weren't coming!"

"Please, didn't you see the appointment, Kai?"

On the front lines of the Land of Wind, Kakashi stared blankly at the excited Guy in front of him. Although he was used to Guy's personality, the guy could still be exasperating at times.

Even though so many years have passed and everyone is approaching thirty, Kai's personality hasn't changed at all.

However, there's nothing wrong with that; at least it allows them to better recapture the feeling of their childhood.

Kakashi was appointed as the captain of a battalion because he was the head of the Anbu and had a remarkable record in the ninja world over the years.

Although Kakashi himself wasn't entirely willing, he did know the true significance of this war.

However, he couldn't escape the orders given by Yuzhi this time, and had no choice but to obediently accept the appointment.

This time, Konoha prepared approximately 70,000 personnel, which is significantly less than the 80,000 personnel in the original story.

This is normal, after all, there are still a lot of rebellious ninjas. If it weren't for the fact that Konoha has developed rapidly under Hagoromo's rule in recent years.

To gather so many ninjas, one would probably need to learn a thing or two from the Third Hokage.

More than 70,000 ninjas were divided into five large combat units and several special squads and gathered on the border of the Land of Wind. A massive war was about to begin.

"That's great, I can fight alongside you again."

Guy ignored Kakashi's sarcastic remarks, gave Kakashi a thumbs-up and smiled.

"We really need to do our best this time! And I heard that Chiba, Rin, Asuma, and the others are here too. It feels just like the old days!"

"They've been fighting all along, just in different positions."

Kakashi rubbed his temples helplessly, feeling that Guy might be overly excited.

However, it's understandable when you think about it. Everyone is already in a high position and has reached the core. The only difference is whether they have the ability to enter the management level.

Kakashi was lucky; he had both strength and ability, and with Haori's high regard for him, he naturally became the head of the Anbu.

However, he was not arrogant at all, because he knew that the others were no less capable. Back then, his classmates had become the backbone of Konoha.

"Captain Kakashi, something's up!"

Just as Kakashi and Guy were chatting, a Hyuga ninja suddenly ran over and bowed deeply to Kakashi.

"No need to be so polite, what happened?"

Kakashi and Guy immediately became serious. Kakashi asked in a low voice, while the Hyuga ninja pointed ahead.

"A kilometer ahead, we discovered a large amount of chakra traces, and underground, these traces are even stronger, and we can see a dense swarm of enemies."

"Underground?"

Kakashi frowned slightly; the enemies hiding underground were not easy to deal with!

boom--

Just as he was pondering, the earth suddenly cracked open, and countless white Zetsu figures emerged from underground, charging madly towards the army.

"What happened?"

"Enemy attack!"

"Watch out, Earth!"

The sudden change made the unit a little nervous, but they were all veterans who had fought for three years, and they calmed down almost immediately.

Subsequently, each squad began to systematically assign their tasks, while the defensive forces also moved forward quickly, preparing to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) to resist the enemy's ranged attacks.

"These guys are..."

The orderly troops began their preparations in an orderly manner, while Kakashi's gaze was fixed on the figures hidden among the White Zetsu.

He could clearly see that there were several people standing at the very front, each of them wearing a Cloud Hidden headband on their forehead.

Their cracked faces signified their status as Edo Tensei (impure world reincarnations).

Besides them, there was a large number of other reanimated ninjas behind them.

The headbands come in all shapes and sizes, showing that each village has one of these resurrected ninjas!

Most importantly, some of these people are historical figures.

For example, there's the guy standing in the very front row, holding a gourd, a sword, a rope, and other items—his appearance is incredibly exaggerated.

Without a doubt, these two guys are the culprits who forced Kumogakure into war, thus creating an indelible hatred between them and Konoha. They are the martial arts brothers, Kinkaku and Ginkaku!

"Are we playing that high?"

Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that the Akatsuki were "one of their own," so wasn't it going too far for "one of their own" to act like this?

The wars of these years have essentially been training exercises for the army. After all, only by experiencing the most brutal wars can everyone be truly tempered!

They had encountered powerful figures resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique before, but the scale of this resurrection still shocked Kakashi somewhat.

"But how many people will die?"

Kakashi's frustration wasn't with the enemy before him, but with the brutality of this war, which was far more terrifying and bloody than he had imagined.

However, he knew that such an absolute secret could not be revealed, so he simply drew his ninja sword silently.

"Kai, be careful, this trouble might be bigger than you think."

He turned his head and whispered to Akai.

"The scale of the Impure World Reincarnation is larger, and there are more powerful ninjas, making it difficult to defeat them."

You pass on the order to have the sealing team catch up quickly. These impure world reincarnations can only be sealed, not killed.

Also, protect those in the sealing squad, understand?

"Don't worry!"

Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up, his eyes filled with the desire to fight.

"Leave it to me, I won't lose to you, Kakashi. Youth is the time to burn brightly!"

"Kakashi, let's have a contest and see who can take down more enemies!"

"Then let's go."

Kakashi smiled and lifted his headband, revealing the Sharingan hidden within.

Friendly competition with friends is always a joyful thing.

Moreover, this friend was someone he had known for many years, someone he had struggled with to get to where he was today. Kakashi felt very happy to fight alongside such a person.

"So."

Kakashi looked away, then raised his hand high.

His movements were like commands, and the ninjas behind him were ready at that moment.

The next instant, Kakashi charged forward, and the ninjas followed suit, charging towards the White Zetsu and the Edo Tensei forces—

Another squadron, led by Mei Terumi, also stopped.

"Seriously, how come there are so many of these monsters?"

As the dense white Zetsu swarmed towards them in the desert, a gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and she lightly brushed it aside, saying with some displeasure.

Zabuza, Kisame, and Hozuki Mangetsu also turned their gazes over, and as they looked at the figures in the distance, they couldn't help but purse their lips.

In particular, they all noticed that there were a few special figures among the White Zetsu!

They stood in the front row, each wearing a headband with a mist-covered design on their forehead, and some of them were holding exaggerated weapons.

Especially when there was a blond man with a small mustache standing at the very front, Man Yue's face darkened upon seeing him.

"That's... the Second Mizukage?"

"It seems so."

Zabuza nodded, while Kisame looked at the full moon with a wicked grin.

"You were right! How about you go over and kowtow to him? Maybe he'll go easy on you."

"Neuropathy!"

Full Moon glared at Kisame with displeasure; he really didn't want to pay any more attention to this lunatic's words.

However, he was also having a bit of a headache. He didn't take the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist seriously at all. He believed in his own strength and that he had long since surpassed those guys.

However, he was still somewhat uneasy about this ancestor who was extremely famous in the family history, possessed formidable strength, and had become the Second Mizukage.

"Shut up, now is not the time to dwell on this."

Mei Terumi glared at the people behind her before she spoke.

"Even if we go to pray to them during the full moon, I'm afraid the other side won't let us off the hook."

"."

Full Moon is a bit hard to keep in check. Why is this woman acting crazy too?

While that's true, the other side is clearly an Edo Tensei, so whether they did it or not won't make any difference.

"Prepare for battle."

Mei Terumi continued, her gaze gradually hardening.

"Using the Second Mizukage to deal with us is quite interesting. Well then, we need to step up our game and not lose face in front of these old guys!"

"off"

Full Moon gave a soft hum, while Zabuza and Kisame gripped their long swords tightly.

To deal with these old guys, it's still the former Kage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and they're all full of energy!

"Hey, it looks like someone from our village is over there."

In the distance, Hozuki Gengetsu also noticed the situation. He curiously looked at the leader and couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"Even our people are now traitors."

Kushimaru Kurishari spoke coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, while Kushimaru Tobikusa sneered from the side.

"These ignorant and arrogant younger generations actually sold off the entire village. It's truly unexpected."

"Alright, you bunch of idiots, shut up now."

Hozuki Gengetsu interrupted them dismissively, looking into the distance and letting out a cold laugh.

"I have no idea what choices the younger generation made or why they made those choices, but I didn't believe Madara Uchiha's nonsense."

It's best to ask in person to find out more; you might get some new information.

That's what he said, but a fighting spirit also appeared in Hozuki Gengetsu's eyes. He really wanted to see how much these juniors had grown.

-

"I never expected that you, old ghost, would be summoned too."

The troops led by Jiraiya and Tsunade stopped in the forest.

As they looked at the Edo Tensei members blocking their way, their expressions gradually became serious.

Because in front of them were indeed their old acquaintances.

And this guy is none other than Hanzo, the demigod who once proudly and somewhat disdainfully gave them the title of the Three Legendary Sannin, and who wears a mask!

Originally, the leader of this unit should have been Mifune, but unfortunately, Konoha didn't include the Land of Iron in their plans.

They've even started channeling their influence into the Land of Iron, so it's probably only a matter of time before it falls.

"Oh? That's quite a surprise, it's actually you two brats."

Hanzo raised an eyebrow, clearly recognizing the two people in front of him.

Just as he was about to say something more, his body suddenly stiffened, and the next moment his gaze became vacant.

Then, this guy actually licked his lips before looking at Jiraiya and Zabuza.

"How is it? How did you like the gift I prepared?"

"You're crazy, you're really boring."

Tsunade instantly knew who she was talking to, and Jiraiya also figured out what was going on.

"What's wrong? Aren't you guys interested?"

Orochimaru, controlling Hanzo, tilted his head and asked curiously.

"After all, this guy left a very deep impression on us back then. Making him your first enemy should be a good choice, right?"

"Damn it, don't forget we faced this guy together back then."

Jiraiya chimed in, clearly annoyed. He pointed out that the three of them had faced Hanzo together, but now it was just him and Tsunade, which naturally displeased Zabuza.

Even though he knew that Orochimaru's current condition would make it difficult for him to fight alongside them, Jiraiya still had some sentimentality.

"Alright, Jiraiya, stop with the nonsense."

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, then her gaze fell on Hanzo, who was controlled by Orochimaru.

"Did everyone else know about this big stunt, or was this just your own plan and objective?"

"Don't worry, everyone knows what I've done, it's not something I'm doing recklessly."

Orochimaru nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"Alright, I have other things to do. You guys can have this guy."

Have some fun, and while you're at it, help me get revenge, even though he's nothing to me anymore.

"Tch, you bastard!"

Seeing Hanzo suddenly droop his head and stop moving, Jiraiya couldn't help but curse.

However, he had now mustered his fighting spirit, and Tsunade was already prepared for battle.

Not only Orochimaru no longer takes Hanzo seriously, but so do the other two. Their progress has been tremendous!

"Tch, looks like I was being controlled just now."

Before long, Hanzo regained consciousness. Looking at Jiraiya and Tsunade in front of him, he slowly drew his ninja sword, and his aura suddenly became fierce.

"Although I really dislike being woken up like this, meeting you guys has given me a bit of interest."

"Then let me see what kind of progress you kids have made!"

-

"Those guys have already started moving. When do we make our move?"

Above the desert, Isshiki, along with Momoshiki and Kinshiki, were concealed in a dimensional space, watching the ninjas fighting below with great composure.

However, Momoshiki seemed to be getting impatient. He didn't understand why Isshiki was interested in fighting these ant-like creatures.

I don't know why this guy hasn't made any plans to capture those who sealed the tailed beasts yet, which makes Momoshiki very unhappy.

"No need to rush, let's see if there's anything wrong with it first."

However, Yi Shi appeared very calm, seemingly having no intention of doing anything. He simply spoke calmly.

"I told you, the people in this world are different. They are good at fighting and can use chakra very skillfully. If you are not careful, it is easy to run into trouble."

"Just like you?"

Although Momoshiki listened to what he said, she still couldn't help but mock him.

"Now that I know, I certainly won't make such a mistake. I think you're overthinking it."

And don't forget, that guy Urashiki is here too. Are you just going to watch him run rampant and let him take the stuff?"

Urashiki's arrival was hardly concealed; at least to these Otsutsuki, he was as blinding as the sun.

His chakra was detected the moment he approached the planet, but their attitudes toward it differed.

Ichishiki didn't pay any attention to Urashiki's arrival, while Momoshiki seemed a little anxious, because Urashiki was probably here to steal Momoshiki!

Having come to regard everything on this planet as his own, Momoshiki naturally couldn't tolerate Urashiki, even though they were of the same race.

"Of course I knew he was coming, but isn't this a good thing?"

Seemingly to appease Momoshiki, Isshiki pondered for a moment before speaking.

"This guy's arrival will add a lot of fun and allow us to see things we don't usually see, which isn't a bad thing for any of us."

"Isn't it a bad thing?"

Momoshiki raised an eyebrow, and soon he seemed to understand Isshiki's idea.

"You mean, we should use that idiot Urashiki as cannon fodder to lure those guys away?"

"That's not how you say it, but of course, you can interpret it that way if you want."

Yishi smiled indifferently, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"After all, that guy had also been in contact with Uchiha Haori. Their battle was quite spectacular, so he must have been aware of Uchiha Haori's strength."

His initiative will inevitably expose more of Uchiha Hagoromo's strength. I'm very curious whether that kid has improved in the past three years.

However, whether he exists or not is not important. What's important is to see his strength so that we can better deal with that brat.

Of course, we can also take this opportunity to gather some of the Ten-Tails' power, no matter what.

Those are all our things, how can we let them fall into the hands of outsiders?

"You're really insidious."

Momoshiki couldn't help but show a hint of sarcasm upon hearing these words, but he also nodded in agreement.

We should be careful when dealing with such an unknown enemy, especially since that guy took down Urashiki first, forcing him to use the Karma resurrection to seek revenge.

Then he defeated another opponent, forcing him to use a wedge to counter. Observing such a person more closely is indeed not a problem.

Moreover, taking this opportunity to reclaim some of the Ten-Tails' chakra is definitely not a bad thing.

"Whether it's insidious or cunning, the goal is always to win."

Ichishiki didn't care at all about what Momoshiki said. He simply shook his head calmly before continuing to speak indifferently.

"If you can't even win, what else is there to say? Do you want to be left here to become nourishment for the Ten-Tails?"

Or do you want that guy to rip out your memories so she can obtain the core power of the Otsutsuki clan?

He doesn't have that kind of power yet, but he already has such a level of skill. Once he obtains that kind of…

At this point, Momoshiki paused, but his meaning was already quite clear, and Momoshiki's gaze slowly turned gloomy.

He didn't dare to think about how things would develop in the future, given how things were before.

It would be best to resolve such a calamity as soon as possible.

"Alright, it seems you understand now."

He glanced at Momoshiki calmly, then smiled and said.

"Well then, let's just wait and see. That Urashiki guy doesn't know how to hold back at all."

He's been walking around so openly; he's probably been discovered by now, but that's fine too.

"After all, this is much more convenient."

-

"Haori, can you feel it?"

"Yeah, some idiot is coming."

Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

Hikaru looked up, frowning as he stared at Haori beside him, while Haori simply chuckled nonchalantly.

He naturally sensed the commotion, and he even knew who had come!

Yuri originally thought that Urashiki Otsutsuki would arrive even faster, since this guy knew the location.

But to his surprise, Momoshiki and the others had already arrived, and Isshiki had even been resurrected. This guy only just managed to get there.

It's clear that this creature with the Karma seal is incredibly far from the planet of the Ninja World, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to arrive.

"Don't make sarcastic remarks, that guy has never been easy to deal with."

Hikaru glared at Haori, then pondered for a moment before continuing.

"What are you planning to do? Although you taught that guy a lesson before, he shouldn't be an idiot this time."

You should know how strong an Otsutsuki at full power is. Can you tell me your plan?

"My plan is actually very simple, there's no need to overthink it."

Yuzhi smiled and shook his head. Then he reached out and took Guang's hand. With a slight movement of chakra, the world shifted instantly, and the two of them found themselves in a desert!

"As I said, the essence of this battle is to train troops, and at the same time, it is also to deal with these Otsutsuki."

Therefore, these two things must be carried out together. Now that the ninja world has started fighting, we naturally cannot remain inactive.

It's not a bad thing that Urashiki has come out to give us some time to move around, especially since Nagato has already gone to find Naruto, and Madara is also starting to prepare for the event.

"It wouldn't hurt to play against this Urashiki team; it'll be a good warm-up."

Yu Zhi said this, but he said it was just a warm-up for fun, though a murderous intent had already flashed in his eyes.

Even though he didn't really take Urashiki and Momoshiki too seriously, he knew very well that these guys were quite difficult to deal with when they got serious.

Especially when they go all out, it's something that ordinary people can't withstand. If we could kill one of them beforehand, it might be a good thing.

But he didn't ask for it, since Isshiki and Momoshiki were watching and might intervene.

Of course, it's also very possible that they used Urashiki as bait so they could target the Jinchūriki.

But no matter which one it is, it won't be a bad thing. After all, if we can lure out these hidden guys, Yuzhi won't lose out!

"Whatever you want, you always have your own ideas and purposes anyway."

Guang pursed his lips, then looked around before finally speaking.

"So, what do I need to do now?"

"Keep a close eye on the movements in other areas, especially the Jinchūriki. Be careful they don't make a sudden move."

"Haori said softly, and the next moment his chakra stirred slightly, and in an instant a beacon seemed to appear in the world."

Only the Otsutsuki clan can sense such a 'beacon,' while others cannot detect this subtle trace.

Moreover, they were located on the edge of the battlefield, so they didn't have to worry about their battle affecting other areas as soon as it started.

He also hoped that this battle would yield even greater results, not only for those involved in the war, but for everyone involved.

As his chakra continued to vibrate, a meteor suddenly flashed in the sky. The meteor fell rapidly and stopped in front of Hagoromo and Hikari in an instant!

The violent chakra aura instantly swept through the surrounding sandstorm, which flew everywhere. If an ordinary person had come here, they probably would have been unable to breathe by now.

However, Yuzhi stood calmly in place, the sandstorm not even touching his body.

After a while, the sandstorm finally subsided, and Urashiki's ferocious appearance appeared before Yugi.

This guy doesn't look much different from a few years ago, but his white eyes are filled with humiliation and hatred!

"Finally back."

He gritted his teeth, looked at Yuzhi, and whispered, his resentment becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

"Kid, have you thought about how you want to die?"

"Why are you still as confident as you have been for all these years?"

Yuzhi tilted her head, looking at the guy as if he were mentally challenged.

"You were just as confident back then, but I easily defeated you. You're still just as confident now. To be honest, you don't seem to have improved at all. It's really disappointing."

Yuri spoke so lightly, and the disdain in her tone was obvious, yet Urashiki had no idea how to refute her.

He did indeed suffer a crushing defeat back then. He didn't even have a chance to go all out before being defeated and even killed by this damned guy.

This was a humiliation and hatred that he could never forget, and now that Yuzhi had mentioned it again, he was even more ashamed and angry.

"I've remembered your shamelessness. This time, you won't stand a chance!"

"As expected, you're still as idiotic as ever."

Yuzhi shook his head, and as he spoke, his aura suddenly changed.

The melodious aura underwent a dramatic transformation along with the chakra, and his body also underwent continuous metamorphosis at that moment, following the fluctuations of the chakra.

His clothes turned into a white robe, and his hair grew longer and turned silver. Before long, under Urashiki's astonished gaze, he had completed the transformation into an Otsutsuki!

"Impossible, impossible. How could this be?"

Pu Shi stared at all in astonishment, momentarily stunned, as if he had never expected such a thing to happen.

This brat has actually completed the transformation of the Otsutsuki?

Nothing is impossible.

Yuri looked at him calmly, and the Truth-Seeking Ball suddenly hid in his hand, instantly transforming into a long sword.

"Your vision and intelligence remain inferior. You will never understand our mindset. Last time I was able to kill you, though it's a pity you were able to revive. So..."

Before she finished speaking, Yuzhi vanished instantly, and a violent sandstorm blotted out the sky. Yuzhi had already arrived behind Urashiki.

His voice reached Urashiki's ears just as the blade was about to fall.

"I'll let you die again!"
