XX-level Hokage

The battle was still undecided until the sensing machine could no longer perceive it.

"To actually resist the Reincarnation Technique, that's certainly like you," Obito said softly, looking at Madara. "Enough of that. Why did you take so long?" Madara said, somewhat annoyed.

"Why, why is Madara, who was fighting Gaara and the others, here?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

"Madara? The legendary Madara?" Kakashi frowned as he looked at the person who had suddenly appeared before him. "This is also a shadow clone. Where is the real body, Obito?" Madara glanced at Naruto and then said.

"How are the others over there?" Naruto asked anxiously. "Over there... Madara thought of Mashiro again and didn't continue."

"I'm asking you how they are!" Naruto instantly flew into a rage, his nine tails grabbing a rock on the ground and hurling it at Madara.

"Even faster than before." Obito thought to himself, watching Naruto's sudden burst of power, then tossed the Uchiha fan to Madara. "Here you go, this is yours."

Madara, holding a fan, instantly stopped the stone Naruto was throwing.

"We don't have much time left. We must find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's body quickly and capture him," Madara said solemnly, looking at Obito.

Chapter 207: The Hokage

"Obito, you started your plan before even getting the Nine-Tails? You're too hasty, Obito. Is this why you revived me in this state? Never mind, it's always been like this. You must have your own reasons. What were you doing before? What happened to Nagato? You timed it perfectly and used the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive me. That was the original plan." Madara said, looking at Obito's Rinnegan.

According to Madara's original plan, after the Akatsuki had collected all the Tailed Beasts, Nagato would use the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive him, and then he would control the power of the Tailed Beasts and awaken the Eye of the Moon.

However, for unknown reasons, he was resurrected prematurely using the Reanimation Jutsu and was even beaten up by the new Hokage. He didn't collect all the Tailed Beasts, and judging from Obito's current eyes, Nagato is probably already dead.

Ban's plan took a completely unexpected turn.

“That guy betrayed us; he used that technique to revive all the dead people of Kumogakure,” Obito said.

“They’re all so unreliable, it doesn’t matter. It’s still not too late to start now. I will capture the Nine-Tails,” Madara said calmly.

Just then, Naruto suddenly formed a Tailed Beast Ball and rushed in front of Madara. "Don't let a dead man cause trouble!"

Naruto attacked Madara directly, but Madara raised his Uchiha fan to block the attack. "It didn't explode?!" Naruto asked, puzzled, as he watched the Tailed Beast Ball disappear after colliding with the fan.

At that moment, Madara raised his fan and pointed it at Naruto. "Uchiha Reflection!"

Instantly, a tremendous force struck Naruto, followed by a huge explosion that blasted him away, eventually turning him into a cloud of smoke and disappearing.

"Capture them all; the Nine-Tails' true form should be nearby," Madara said, then instantly charged forward. Madara faced Kushina and Guy alone, leaving Kakashi to Obito.

Kakashi looked at Obito, his voice trembling slightly, and asked, "How did you become like this?!" Hearing Kakashi's words, Obito fell into memories.

On the verge of death, he entrusted his Sharingan and Rin to Kakashi, was saved by Madara, witnessed Rin being killed by Kakashi, and inherited Madara's consciousness... Everything that happened was like a bizarre dream.

Obito snapped out of his daze and looked at Kakashi. He activated Kamui, and three giant shuriken flew out of the Kamui dimension and toward Kakashi.

Seeing this, Kakashi instantly formed hand seals. "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall"

An earthen wall appeared out of thin air in front of Kakashi, blocking Obito's giant shuriken.

Seeing this, Obito charged towards Kakashi, using his Hollowfication to break through the stone wall, and then stabbed Kakashi in the knee with a giant shuriken. "Why?" Kakashi looked at Obito in front of him and continued to ask.

"Shut your mouth, you trash who only knows how to talk." Obito said coldly, then used Kamui to pull Kakashi into the Kamui dimension. But Kakashi quickly activated Kamui and left the Kamui dimension.

"Same eyes, you really are something." Obito said, looking at Kakashi's Sharingan.

Madara swiftly captured Kushina and Guy. Naruto's true form then revealed itself.

However, Naruto brought the entire Allied Shinobi Forces with him.

Seeing this, Obito, after obtaining Madara's consent, summoned the Gedo Mazo in its Ten-Tails form.

Meanwhile, in the forest near Kumogakure, Mashiro and Shinga were locked in a standoff, Shinga holding Izumi hostage with a kunai. "Who are you? A new member of Akatsuki?" Mashiro asked softly.

"My name is Kaguya Mashiro. I'm quite nervous facing the Hokage right now," Mashiro said with a smile.

"Really? You suddenly broke into the Allied Forces headquarters and even kidnapped someone, but I didn't see you showing the slightest bit of nervousness," Mashiro said.

"There's no other way. I really can't think of any other way to lure the Hokage here," Zhenwo said softly.

"So, what do you want to say to me?" Mashiro looked at Shinji, already prepared to attack. After all, thanks to Omikami, Izumi wouldn't die. "The Hokage doesn't seem inclined to have a proper conversation with me. Is it because of Izumi-sama's eye technique that you're so sure I can't kill her?" Shinji asked with a smile. Hearing this, Mashiro narrowed her eyes, while Izumi was utterly shocked. Regarding Omikami, besides herself and Mashiro, she was absolutely certain that...

Maybe someone else will know.

“You’re very mysterious. Even I can’t see through you. I’m considering whether to kill you here and nip this in the bud,” Mashiro said softly.

"You wouldn't do that, would you? After all, you don't know if I can kill Lord Izumi, and besides, you can't kill me now," True Self said softly.

“You won,” Mashiro said softly.

The surrounding air returned to calm, and the shadow behind Shinji returned to normal. "What do you want to tell me?" Mashiro asked softly.

“You must have heard of the Otsutsuki clan,” Shingo said.

Mashiro nodded. In a sense, she was now considered a member of the Otsutsuki clan.

"The Otsutsuki clan comes from a distant alien planet and has a lifespan of thousands of years. They are beings that transcend biological life."

Their sole purpose has always been to devour the life on a planet. Once they achieve their goal, they will leave for the next one.

To achieve this goal, they will plant "divine trees" on the earth, whose roots will penetrate deep into every part of the planet, absorbing the essence of all life on it.

With the chakra depleted, all life will eventually perish.

After the divine tree absorbs everything, it will grow "fruits". The fruits contain enormous energy and genetic information. Eating the fruits will allow the Otsutsuki clan to evolve.

The Otsutsuki clan possesses the powerful creature "Ten-Tails," which they use as a tool to invade planets. First, they plant the Ten-Tails on the earth, and then it transforms into a divine tree that devours the planet.

For the Ten-Tails to become the Divine Tree, a special condition must be met: it must consume a living Otsutsuki. When attacking a planet, the Otsutsuki clan would always come in pairs. One person would be consumed to give birth to the Divine Tree, while the other would guard the Divine Tree as it grew until it bore a chakra fruit.

Furthermore, chakra fruits also vary in quality, with young and healthy Otsutsuki being more suitable as bait for the Ten-Tails.

For thousands of years, the Ōtsutsuki clan has continuously devoured the life of numerous planets in the universe, relentlessly evolving until they became unparalleled and unique beings, until they became "gods"—this is "the will of Ōtsutsuki."

The true self speaks slowly.

"What do you mean by what you're saying?" Mashiro asked calmly.

Mashiro didn't know much about the information Shinji had given her regarding the Otsutsuki clan. But she didn't believe him completely; she felt that Shinji hadn't revealed some important information.

"Two Otsutsuki came to this planet a thousand years ago to plant the Divine Tree. One was Otsutsuki Isshiki of the Kaguya clan, but at a certain moment, Isshiki was betrayed by Kaguya and was killed by her sneak attack."

Thus, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki ate the fruit of the Divine Tree. The fruit born from this planet was exceptionally powerful, granting her unparalleled strength. However, for certain reasons, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki gave birth to two children, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Hamura Ōtsutsuki. Due to ideological differences, Kaguya was...

The two children were sealed away.

The Ten-Tails was also split into nine tailed beasts by her eldest son, Hagoromo, and exiled to various parts of the world.

Then, Hagoromo founded the ninja village and shared chakra, thus giving birth to ninjas. "Mashiro continued slowly, recounting the story. "Who exactly are you?" Mashiro looked at Shinji and asked earnestly.

"It's time, I have to leave." Shingo looked at the sky and said softly. "You—" Shingo was about to say something.

The real self turned to look at Mashiro, her eyes turning into a scarlet kaleidoscope.

"Uchiha Zero, your fate will be the same as hers, or even more tragic." After saying that, he released Izumi and disappeared from the spot.

Looking at her vanished true self, Mashiro's expression was somewhat complicated.

"I don't know why, but I can sense a familiar aura about him." Izumi walked to Mashiro's side and said. "Don't worry, everything is still under my control." Mashiro smiled as she spoke.

"You go back first, I need to go see Orochimaru." Mashiro said, looking at Izumi. Izumi nodded and turned to leave.

In Orochimaru's temporary base, Orochimaru waited quietly. "Am I too late?" Mashiro suddenly emerged from the shadows and said.

"Since you're here, let's begin. Summon those three," Orochimaru said. He then began forming hand seals, and the three White Zetsu he had prepared beforehand instantly died.

The First Hokage: Hashirama Senju. The Second Hokage: Mikazuki Senju. The Fourth Hokage: Minato Namikaze.

The three Hokage were thus resurrected through the corpse of White Zetsu.

Chapter 208: The Sixth Generation

"Is it that Orochimaru ninja again? What's going on?" Mima asked, looking at Orochimaru ahead. "Looks like it's the Impure Reincarnation Jutsu again." Hashirama glanced at his own hands and said softly.

"Has the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique been broken? Orochimaru, how did you do that?" Minato looked at his body, guessing he had been reincarnated, and asked in confusion. "You underestimate me, Minato. The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, the clan's former ruins that no longer exist, the scattered documents—I learned them from the seal..."

"I've been researching it ever since the technique was lost," Orochimaru said.

"First Hokage, it seems we've all been reincarnated into this world." Minato said, turning to Hashirama. Hashirama tilted his head, looking at Minato with some confusion, and asked, "Who are you?"

Minato then realized that the First Hokage did not recognize him, so he quickly turned around, revealing his divine robes, and said, "I am the Fourth Hokage."

"The Fourth Hokage, huh? I see. It seems the village is quite peaceful." Hashirama said happily upon hearing this. "Well, I'm not entirely sure if it's peaceful now, because I died before the Third Hokage," Minato explained.

"Is that so? You actually died before Sarutobi?" Hashirama asked incredulously. "Yes, because of some things," Minato said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then who is the Fifth Hokage?" Hashirama continued. "It's your granddaughter, Tsunade," Orochimaru replied.

Upon hearing this, he instantly became speechless, as if he had suffered a huge blow. "Tsuna, is the village alright now?" Hashirama asked in a very low voice.

"Is there something you're worried about?" Minato asked, noticing Hashirama's sudden change in attitude.

"She's my eldest granddaughter, so I spoil her rotten. As a result, she even picked up my gambling habit. She's quite the... hahahahaha." Hashirama laughed as he spoke.

"Let's not talk about that now. It's another Reincarnation Jutsu. How dare they abuse the ninjutsu I created!" Kazama said in an unfriendly tone.

"This ninjutsu isn't difficult at all. Besides, you really shouldn't have created it in the first place, Second Hokage. The policies you implemented and the ninjutsu you created have only brought trouble to future generations, and this time is no different," Orochimaru said calmly.

"You, do you intend to attack Konoha again this time? And Byakugan, is the Hyuga clan also involved in your conspiracy?" Mima first looked at Orochimaru, then turned to look at Mashiro not far away, and said.

"So war is inevitable in any era, isn't it? This is hardly a good ninjutsu, Mima. So we should have done as I said back then..." Hashirama was speaking to Mima when he was interrupted by Mima's cold tone.

“Brother, Beroazin. I’m talking to this young man.” “But…” Hashirama wanted to say something more.

"Shut up!" the voice snapped at Hashirama again. Hashirama immediately stood up, looking sullen.

"Please don't misunderstand, I no longer want to do this, so I haven't restricted your personalities. Today's situation is a bit special. As for the reason for summoning you today, let the Sixth Hokage explain it." Orochimaru suddenly laughed and said.

"The Sixth Hokage? Where is he?" Hashirama became excited again upon hearing this.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Fourth Hokage, I am the Sixth Hokage, Hyuga Mashiro." Mashiro stepped forward and said with a light laugh.

"When did the Hyuga clan become Hokage? And at such a young age! What about Sarutobi? This is simply ridiculous!" Miki said with great dissatisfaction after hearing Mashiro's words.

"It seems that the Second Hokage has been forgotten. Anyone who is a member of Konoha can become Hokage, as long as the villagers agree, the higher-ups recommend, and the Daimyo approves. This should be the rule set by the First Hokage. Does the Second Hokage not consider the Hyuga clan to be a member of Konoha?" Orochimaru said with some sarcasm.

The reason he lost to Minato was because of the Third Hokage's letter of recommendation.

"Just as he said, regardless of clan, as long as one is a member of Konoha and possesses the ability and virtue to become Hokage, one can be elected Hokage," Hashirama said earnestly, patting Mikoto on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Jian gave a cold laugh and remained silent.

"Alright, Sixth Hokage, please continue." Hashirama turned to Mashiro and said in an extremely gentle tone.

"There's a war going on right now. An organization called Akatsuki is waging the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Madara Uchiha has been resurrected. He seems to want to kill all the shinobi in the world," Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this news, Hashirama, Minato, and others were all instantly shocked.
