Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"You should be content. If it weren't for the Golden Lion fighting the Third Hokage, we don't know if we'd even be alive today. Look how fierce the Third Hokage was... If only he were as invincible as he is now back then..."

An elderly Cloud Ninja who had participated in the Third Shinobi World War watched with a sorrowful expression as the Third Hokage was fiercely attacking the Golden Lion, lost in thought.

While the idea of ​​the Third Hokage taking on ten thousand men single-handedly sounds incredibly impressive, and that he died with honor, his name would live on forever in their hearts, it was a lifelong source of pain for the Cloud Ninja who had experienced that war.

If it weren't for their safe retreat, their strongest Raikage in history wouldn't have single-handedly covered their retreat. If the Third Hokage back then could have been as indestructible as he is now...

How wonderful that would be!

1172. Second Raikage: I've always thought that kid was extraordinary since he was a child.

"Exactly! It's all that old bastard Onoki's fault! If he hadn't been so despicable back then, the Third Hokage wouldn't have died. Now he's so badly injured, do you think we should..."

The Cloud Ninja underlings around him spoke, their eyes turning with ill intent as they looked at Onoki, who was already severely injured and barely alive, lying on the side.

Although taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not in the style of Kumogakure, it would be good to beat up Onoki to vent their anger.

Who told this old guy to be so cunning, managing to trick three generations of their elders to death...?

"What do you bastards want?!"

"Let me tell you, from the day we became ninjas, we were already one foot in the grave, prepared to die. As the saying goes, life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. Back then, your Second and Third Raikage took advantage of the situation to raid our Land of Earth, plundering and pillaging. When did Iwagakure ever seek revenge after the war ended? These are the rules of the game among ninjas. We accepted our losses because we couldn't outsmart you back then. Last time, you couldn't outsmart me, and the Third Raikage was killed because of my trickery. Consider it your bad luck. If you have the guts, come back for revenge in the next war. Now you're bullying a seriously injured old man like me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Onoki wasn't deaf or blind. Sensing the malicious gazes of the Cloud Ninjas around him, he was nearly scared out of his wits and retorted to the group of muscle-bound idiots.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death; he had long since disregarded life and death after so many years in the industry. But he wanted to die a worthy death, a glorious one, without even flinching. But if he were to be beaten to death by these idiotic, muscular Yun Ninja for no reason, that would be truly humiliating.

At least his teacher managed to die alongside the Second Mizukage and leave behind some good reputation...

"Stop arguing. Onoki is right. We were outmaneuvered back then, so there's nothing to complain about. If you really want revenge, then do it in the next war. We Cloud Ninja never do such despicable things as taking advantage of others in their time of need, especially now that it's a crisis for the ninja world. We need to put aside personal grudges and unite at the grassroots level."

Mabu Big Head served as the chief steward for decades and was the true second-in-command of Kumogakure back then. Unlike his daughter Mabui, who only has a nominal title, he was a man with real power. Even though he had been retired for more than ten years, his prestige among the Kumogakure underlings remained very high.

After all, he was the one who, along with the Third Raikage, brought the village back to its peak when it was in decline. The Third Raikage also liked to be a hands-off manager, so it can be said that many of the Cloud Ninja underlings were trained by him.

"Yes! Lord Azabu is right. Which bastard came up with such a terrible idea? Go back and kneel on durians..."

"That's right, that's right, which bastard actually had such a despicable idea? He should commit seppuku to atone for his sins."

"..."

After hearing what Azabu-da ...

“…”

Onoki was utterly speechless at these shameless musclemen; they were truly a bunch of brutes whose brains were filled with nothing but muscles...

"Bang 1"

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Duang!"

"Is Raikage alright? Your body's a bit weak, you can't even withstand a few punches before you're turned to dust again, you've got no feel for it at all..."

The battle continued, and Shinto was really having a blast this time, throwing every punch without holding back. Although his feel for the punches was a bit lacking, not as good as Hidan who could never die and was easily defeated, the Edo Tensei passive ability was incredibly satisfying.

It feels like a top-tier player from a server-wide tournament descending upon a newbie village to slaughter low-level players—it's all about one-hit kills.

"Haha, let's go again and see how long you can hold out."

The Third Raikage was too lazy to argue this time. He laughed and continued fighting. He didn't know what kind of bastard or stingy person had given him such a trash body. Every time he wanted to exert himself, he felt like he had the strength but couldn't.

This guy's so stingy even during the crucial final battle; he's destined for mediocrity...

Kabuto, who was secretly controlling the reanimated Orochi, received the Third Raikage's thoughts and his face turned ashen, as if he had eaten shit.

This is ridiculously stingy?

Because he knew the Third Raikage was skilled in taijutsu, he had the White Zetsu, who was always talking and masturbating, increase the dosage of the drug in this body and transplant the most First Hokage cells into him in order to make the most of his advantage. He almost fell out with that White Zetsu because of this, but the Third Raikage actually said that he was stingy.

"Oh! Tsuchidai kid, so that's the blonde brat from Sunagakure who caused all this trouble back then. I didn't expect him to be so capable!"

The scene caused by the battle between Shinto and the Third Raikage was so shocking that the battlefield of the Second Raikage, Tsuchida, and Darui was forced to move to a distance of three kilometers. Looking at the blond figure who was frantically attacking his little brother, the Second Raikage finally remembered who it was. Wasn't that the troublesome brat who had barged into the venue with the white-haired kid from the Hatake clan when he and Tobirama Senju were negotiating in the Land of the Moon and killed the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage?

It had been so long that if it weren't for that head of golden hair gleaming in the blazing sun, he almost wouldn't have remembered it.

He'd known that kid was extraordinary since he was little; at nine years old, he managed to kill the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage. Now it's proven his judgment was spot on...

"Yes, Second Generation Lord, but he's not a menace anymore!"

While cooperating with Darui in the battle against the Second Raikage, Tsuchida nodded and said.

Now they're not just a nuisance, they're a major nuisance!

"I never imagined that the troublemaker from back then would grow up to be this powerful. He's truly amazing..."

The Second Raikage was reminiscing about the past while fighting Tsuchidae and Darui. Judging from their expressions, if the three weren't fighting, one would think they were having a long chat...

.....

"Oh no! Hokage, how's Kakashi doing? The Third Raikage is unkillable and has unlimited chakra. If this drags on, Lord Shinto will be in trouble..."

Inside the Allied Forces Command Center, Rasa watched Shinto and the Raikage fight one-on-one and marveled at how monstrous the two were, when suddenly he realized something.

Although it seemed that Shinto was in control, blasting the Third Raikage to smithereens every now and then, he still looked like he was handling the situation with ease.

The key point is that the Third Raikage is no longer human. No matter how strong, how long-lasting, or how monstrous Shinto is, he is still a normal human being, and an elderly man over sixty years old. As long as he is still a person, no matter how strong or long-lasting he is, he will eventually get tired.

The Third Raikage not only doesn't die and has unlimited chakra, but he also doesn't get tired! If this continues, things will get really bad when the teacher starts to show signs of fatigue.

1173. The Idol Makes a Powerful Debut

"Kakashi and his men have already infiltrated, and I believe they'll be there soon. Knowing the Golden Lion's physical strength as I do, he should be able to hold out for a long time..."

Nawaki looked at Nara Shikaku, who stroked his chin as he watched the figure that had once again blasted the Third Raikage to smithereens. Although he wasn't entirely sure, considering the physical strength of the Third Raikage from over a decade ago—enough to easily defeat the complete Nine-Tails—he figured the Third Raikage's current strength should be enough to keep Shiki fighting for another year or two without much trouble...

"Everyone, something seems wrong with Iwagakure. That guy..."

At that moment, Mabui suddenly pointed to the battlefield on the Iwagakure side of the big screen.

The Fourth Raikage was badly beaten, with one of his arms broken, and the surrounding Iwa ninja suffered even greater losses, leaving the area devastated.

It was obvious that it had been roasted by a large-scale fire jutsu. At this moment, the Fourth Raikage was standing in front of a domineering man who could dominate everything and even the air. Even through the big screen, everyone could feel a strong sense of oppression. At this moment, apart from this domineering man who made people want to call him grandpa, the White Zetsu army and the Second Tsuchikage Mu were nowhere to be seen.

In other words, this domineering and incredibly powerful man just fought the Fourth Raikage and a group of Iwa ninja single-handedly, and then beat them to a pulp.

"It's...it's...it's him! Madara...uh! Uchiha Madara!?(?Д?)ノ"

"Holy crap! It really is Uchiha Madara! (#?Д?)"

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Chiyo, and Ebizo, four seasoned veterans of the ninja world, watched the domineering man through the big screen. Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were speechless, and Chiyo and Ebizo were not much better off.

Koharu and Mitokado were the most seriously ill, and were sweating profusely.

Although they were young when Madara dominated the ninja world and betrayed Konoha, they had personally witnessed just how awesome Madara was. They also watched the battle at the Valley of the End from afar with the Second Hokage.

Moreover, in the history of the ninja world, apart from Madara, no one has ever been so domineering and awesome. The way he looked down on everyone was completely inferior to Shiki's look of looking down on everyone. Even after decades, they still can't forget such a domineering figure!

It's even more normal that Chiyo and Ebizo still remember him. Chiyo's husband, Ebizo's brother-in-law, and the First Kazekage of Sunagakure, was severely injured and died young by this domineering and arrogant man, the idol of her nephew Shinto...

"What?! He's the Asura of the Ninja World?! Σ(っД;)っ"

"hiss!!!"

Everyone in the coalition command post ate several tons of food, but they still couldn't calm their excited, uneasy, and nervous feelings.

In terms of fame, the title "Shura of the Ninja World" may not be as great as that of Shiki of the Sand Village or Sakumo Hashirama of the Leaf Village. After all, they are all ancient figures from the past, and the ninja world has been deliberately avoiding mentioning his name for decades. It is only mentioned in passing in the historical records of some clans when referring to Hashirama Senju, but most of the time it is just a brief mention.

As a result, young people growing up in the new era only know that Uchiha Madara and the Shura of the Ninja World are awesome, but they don't know exactly how awesome they are since they have never seen the real person. Naturally, their fame is not as great as that of the Sand Village's Golden Lion and Konoha's White Fang, who are constantly praised in textbooks.

But only those who lived through that era and saw Madara in person can truly understand just how awesome the "Shura of the Ninja World" was.

That era was ruled by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, and in that era, everyone was destined to be a supporting character to the two.

The Third Raikage's jump of 10,000 units resulted in his death, but it was still incredibly exaggerated.

But this Madara-san single-handedly took on the entire Hidden Stone Village, including the Fourth Raikage, and even beat them to a pulp! You wouldn't even dare to write something like that in a novel!

Now these young people finally understand why Koharu Utatane and Chiyo, the older folks who are used to seeing Orochimaru poop, were so shocked.

"Holy crap! Shikaku sent word from the mountains to my great-grandfather that I'm going to support the Raikage..."

"Yakura, control Shinto-sama! Madara Uchiha has appeared! I'm going to support him too!"

"Together....."

After Nawaki finished speaking to Nara Shikaku, he took out the three divine weapons from his back and went out. Rasa and the Mizukage also looked solemn, as if they were about to give their last instructions. This was a super big boss! If the Raikage died, that would be really bad.

Although they had never met Uncle Ban in person, the oppressive aura emanating from the big screen made them uneasy; who knew just how formidable he truly was in person?

........

"Too weak! Absolutely too weak! You're the current Fourth Raikage, right? You're way weaker than me... The ninja world is becoming more and more disappointing!"

On the battlefield of Iwa ninja, Madara leisurely crossed his arms, looking down on the Fourth Raikage with the disdainful gaze of a grandfather looking at his grandson. He had barely used a little force, and the Fourth Raikage was already sprawled out. So weak, so very weak...

He originally thought that, according to the plan, it was his little lamb Nagato who would revive him with Rinne Tensei. But when he moved his body, he found that it was just the Impure World Reincarnation of Tobirama Senju, that runaway guy. As a result, he was angry and didn't control his strength well. This leader of Kumogakure and a group of Iwagakure ninja were knocked down.

“…”

The Fourth Raikage dragged his severed arm without saying a word. If anyone dared to act arrogantly and disrespect him like that, he would fight them to the bitter end, even if it meant selling everything he owned.

However, now that he knows who the other party is, it's better to let them finish showing off.

It was an aura of dominance that was truly indescribable; he had often seen that look in the eyes of the other person, especially in the Golden Lion.

No wonder he's the idol of the Golden Lion. The Golden Lion looks down on everyone like a son, but compared to this man, he's really nothing!

He never expected the other side to drop such a trump card on his side of the battlefield. If he had known, only an idiot would have switched positions with that old guy Onoki. Compared to this man, he would rather defend against him. This man is just unreasonably strong.

He had originally come over and was having a good time with the Second Tsuchikage. The Second Tsuchikage's fighting style was exactly the same as Onoki's, both of them flying around and using area-of-effect attacks. He had no difficulty defending against the Second Tsuchikage with his speed advantage.

He was secretly laughing at how that old guy Onoki was going to have to face him, the one who couldn't be killed, and that he was going to get beaten to a pulp. The Second Tsuchikage was able to unleash so many area-of-effect attacks because of the Edo Tensei's properties, but Onoki wasn't dead yet.

Before he could even celebrate, a gigantic coffin appeared on the battlefield. The person inside hadn't even emerged yet, and the overwhelming aura emanating from it nearly knocked him unconscious. The Second Tsuchikage had only briefly blocked his view; he was still lying beneath the coffin lid...

That's absolutely fucking awesome!

1174. Chiyo: Tell Masato to fuck him, you old bastard.
