With the help of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama Senju successfully rescued Gaara and Mei Terumi, and the black rods were also removed. However, tragically, there were no medical ninjas here, and the only one, Tsunade, was killed.

"The Hokage?!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, who had crashed into the wall, stared in astonishment at the two Jiraiya puppets that had appeared there. It was now almost certain that the Hokage had truly perished.

Just as Lei Yingai was feeling sentimental, he suddenly sensed a murderous intent coming from behind him!

After dodging rapidly using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the Fourth Raikage A turned his head and saw an incredibly familiar face. The one who had just attacked him was none other than Killer Bee, who had been taken away by the Akatsuki organization.

No, to be precise, it was Killer Bee resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Big brother, I can't control myself!"

Killer Bee's eyes went blank after seeing Raikage A say those words.

Upon noticing this scene, Raikage Ai felt an unimaginable wave of sorrow wash over him, but now, the only thing he could do was find a way to defeat it.

"Celestial Art: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

Just as Raikage A made up his mind, intense heat struck from both sides as two Jiraiya puppets launched an attack from the left and right.

With Killer Bee blocking the way, Raikage A could only move backward, while Minato Namikaze was completely blocked by Nagato's Edo Tensei.

The battlefield was immediately divided. Tobirama Senju needed to protect Gaara and Mei Terumi, while Onoki could only make brief contact with the Uchiha Madara puppet. Two Jiraiyas, along with the reanimated Killer Bee, blocked the Raikage A.

This is almost a dead end.

On the other hand, Obito Uchiha felt somewhat helpless facing these resurrected ninjas. They were impossible to kill, but there was one who could use the Spirit Transformation Technique to harass him. This meant that Obito Uchiha never had the opportunity to directly become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

The side that was originally supporting the Five Kage was in an even worse state. Even with Sasuke Uchiha joining in and restraining Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi was directly controlled by Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami. Although his will was not completely altered, as long as Shisui Uchiha was still there, Kakashi had no chance of recovering.

-----------------

In a secluded room in Amegakure, Tsunade slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ninja in front of her who had the same face as Hiroji, but whose eyes were like white gemstones and who was wearing the Akatsuki uniform. She asked with a puzzled look, "Hiroji?"

"It's been a long time, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade had only asked tentatively, but the answer she received made her expression bitter. How could the medical ninja of the past have become like this, and even she had been killed?

The puppet containing Itachi Uchiha's Rinnegan was standing right beside her. Tsunade naturally knew who was controlling those puppets and the reanimated ninjas, since she herself was currently in a reanimated state.

"why?"

Tsunade asked calmly, she really couldn't understand why this guy would do this. No matter how she looked at it, Koji was not this kind of person!

"Only death can escape the Otsutsuki clan's conspiracy, though you certainly won't believe that now..."

Hongzhi smiled as he looked at Tsunade, who had been resurrected using Edo Tensei. It was strange, really, that Tsunade still looked youthful and beautiful after being resurrected, instead of having a face full of wrinkles.

Upon receiving this explanation, Tsunade subconsciously took a step forward to refute it, and then she saw herself with black rods stuck in her face, or rather, her own corpse.

Moreover, it's their true appearance, not an appearance preserved with chakra.

"Don't mind, I'll make you younger."

Noticing Tsunade's gaze, Hongzhi smiled and explained that Itachi Uchiha's puppets, as Preta Path puppets, were merely a means of dying, which did not match Itachi's fighting style. If the Tenseigan and Rinnegan were fused before creating the Six Paths puppets, the original abilities of the deceased could be preserved.

Of course, the premise is that he cannot be dead for too long. Therefore, the most suitable thing for the Preta Path is a puppet made by Tsunade. After all, the Hundred Healings Technique and the Yin Seal are perfectly suited for this Preta Path. In fact, the extra chakra can keep Tsunade's body perfect forever, and may even make her younger.

"Yumi has misjudged you. You're just like Orochimaru!"

Tsunade subconsciously took a few steps back. Even she couldn't accept seeing her own corpse being modified by others.

"When you witness true despair, you will understand what I mean. For this ninja world, death is the only salvation."

Hongzhi spoke calmly, then directly transferred the natural energy sphere from Itachi Uchiha's body to the Tsunade puppet that had just been completed.

After completing this step, Hiroji saw with his own eyes that a white diamond-shaped mark appeared on the forehead of the Tsunade puppet, and then its original appearance gradually returned, even becoming younger.

The Tsunade puppet slowly rose to its feet, then looked at Tsunade, who couldn't help but back away. She couldn't accept this, but after retreating to a certain extent, Tsunade felt as if she had bumped into something. She subconsciously turned her head and saw a puppet.

The puppet wearing sunglasses is none other than Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure!

"Alright, Lady Tsunade, you'll understand what I'm saying when you open your eyes again."

Hongzhi's voice slowly drifted over, and Tsunade felt herself gradually becoming sleepy before losing consciousness completely.

Chapter 455 Double the Surprise!

Outside Amegakure, chaos reigned, with Danzo and his two companions being hunted by Akatsuki members. All this was because Hiroji had told the Akatsuki members that if they wanted to leave Amegakure alive, they had to bring Danzo and his two companions back with them.

The remaining Akatsuki members initially didn't take it seriously, but after noticing the strange atmosphere around them, they readily agreed. The main reason was that they felt they would become members of the Edo Tensei if they refused.

With the suppression of Hashirama Senju gone, conflicts outside Amegakure gradually came to light. Although no one wanted to provoke the ninjas of Konoha, most of the Kage who survived had died in battles against other ninja villages.

This resentment is extraordinary. If someone were to control them, they might not have gone into chaos, since they share a common enemy. However, the reanimated ninjas are currently uncontrolled, and those who were already bloodthirsty have begun to slaughter.

This is the beginning of all the chaos, but so far there is still no concrete way to deal with the reanimated ninjas. After all, the appearance of the reanimated ninjas this time was quite sudden, and there was no unified command center, which led to the tragedy.

More and more ninjas are dying from unknown ninjutsu attacks. The five great ninja villages, which were not united to begin with, are now in even greater chaos.

No one noticed that the bodies of the dead ninjas were missing parts. Perhaps some people did notice, but they were constantly watching their surroundings and wouldn't pay attention to the dead ninjas.

Beneath Amegakure, two shadow clones worked together, the former injecting natural energy into the White Zetsu's main body, which was trapped in a genjutsu, allowing it to successfully split, while the latter used the parts collected by the White Zetsu to perform the Impure World Reincarnation.

The process was very well coordinated, and the White Zetsu responsible for collecting the offerings worked very hard. After all, if things went wrong, the offerings would turn into themselves. The reanimated ninjas would be sent to different areas; for example, those who died in Kumogakure would be sent to Iwagakure.

This is why the chaos will not stop no matter what. Hongzhi needs these people to stay here obediently, at least until the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is born.

-----------------

The battlefield within Amegakure was relatively peaceful. Obito Uchiha was temporarily held back by the reanimated ninjas of Konoha, with Dan Kato causing him the most trouble, while Hiruzen Sarutobi was in charge of command.

On the other side, things were rather miserable. Even though there were several candidates for Kage, they were still having a headache dealing with Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui, who were under the control of genjutsu.

Although Sasuke Uchiha possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he could only resist Itachi Uchiha, who also had the Mangekyou Sharingan and unlimited chakra. It was impossible for Sasuke to directly suppress Itachi.

The most tragic position is on the side of the Five Kage, or rather, to be precise, the Fourth Kage.

Tsunade, the Hokage, has already been written out of the story and will likely appear as an enemy soon.

Two Jiraiyas, along with the reanimated Killer Bee, attacked the Fourth Raikage. If it weren't for the speed of his Lightning Release chakra, the Raikage would probably have perished long ago.

Minato Namikaze could only barely keep up with Nagato by using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and had no way to support other areas. If he left, Madara Uchiha's puppets would cooperate with Nagato, and the first person to die would be the Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Secondly, there are Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, and Gaara, the Kazekage, who are protected by Tobirama Senju. This seems to be a dead end.

After the Raikage dodged Killer Bee's attack once again, only half of the expected attack arrived. Raikage A noticed this and was somewhat taken aback, subconsciously looking into the distance.

Jiraiya's puppet, with its Rinnegan eyes, was silently forming hand seals. Seeing this, Raikage A had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next second, two figures appeared on the battlefield!

"Naruto!"

Raikage A's pupils widened involuntarily. Like the two Jiraiyas, he actually saw two Tsunades. One of them was clearly in the Edo Tensei state, and the other was a puppet with Rinnegan in both eyes.

This brief moment of surprise gave the surrounding puppets an opportunity. A giant Rasengan was slammed into Raikage A's back by Jiraiya, who was resurrected through Edo Tensei. Just as he was feeling the pain, the Tsunade puppet that had just been summoned appeared on the other side and then punched him down!

The target was clearly Raikage A's heart. With a scream, the resurrected Jiraiya put away the Rasengan, and the puppet Tsunade slowly withdrew her blood-stained hands.

Following the Hokage's death after having his chakra drained, the Raikage A of Kumogakure was pierced through the heart, leading to his death.

Jiraiya, resurrected through Edo Tensei, disappeared along with the Raikage's corpse. The Edo Tensei body and puppets that were originally targeting the Raikage turned their attention to Onoki, who was preparing to unleash Dust Release to attack Madara Uchiha's puppet in the sky.

Onoki immediately felt a chill, but he still released the Dust Release he had gathered. Just as it was about to hit the Uchiha Madara puppet that was being restrained by Senju Tobirama, a figure blocked the Dust Release and completely absorbed it.

Tsunade of the Preta Path successfully absorbed Dust Release. Onoki felt that the Tsunade puppet who absorbed Dust Release seemed to have become a little younger, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

"Xiao Gang?"

Senju Tobirama, who noticed this scene, turned pale. The person behind it all deserved to die. He hadn't even settled the score with Tsunade yet, and now Tsunade had been turned into a puppet in the blink of an eye.

"careful!"

Before he could even process his emotions, Tobirama Senju roared at Onoki.

Reminded, Onoki subconsciously adjusted his position in the air, but in return, he was met with a fatal blow from the reanimated Tsunade to his lower back.

The sound of bones breaking rang out, and Onoki fell to the ground. Two black clubs pierced his chest, and before he could say anything, he lost his life.

Then, Tsunade, resurrected through Edo Tensei, disappeared with the dead Onoki, while Jiraiya's puppet, having delivered the final blow, began forming hand seals.

Upon noticing this, Tobirama Senju didn't hesitate and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Gaara and Mei Terumi to another location. Three of the Five Kage had already died, and if the battle continued, it would become a battle between two Reanimated Impure Worlds.

Without any ninjas capable of using sealing techniques here, the battle is virtually impossible to determine a winner.

In the center of the battlefield, Minato Namikaze, seeing the resurrected Edo Tensei Jiraiya and the two A's, ultimately had no choice but to retreat.

The battle on this side ended completely with Tsunade's death and resurrection, while on the other side, the reanimated Itachi, who was fighting Uchiha Sasuke, began to slowly form hand seals.

Sasuke Uchiha was somewhat taken aback when he saw this scene. He couldn't understand what Itachi was trying to do with the hand seals.

Until the puppet itachi appeared in front of him!

Chapter 456 I don't know why I'm still alive

The appearance of Itachi's puppet turned Sasuke into a meme. The reason he came to stop Itachi was because he didn't want to see him being controlled.

As a result, he couldn't handle just one reanimated Uchiha Itachi, and now there's another Uchiha Itachi, and this one has the Rinnegan.

In this situation, Sasuke Uchiha only wanted to escape, as it was impossible for him to win. The Rinnegan's previous abilities had made him feel extremely strange, although he felt that this puppet could not possibly possess the original power of the Rinnegan.

But now, he'd rather find the guy who defiled Uchiha Itachi and make him understand what Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu are all about.

Damn it!

Uchiha Sasuke spoke fiercely, but he was helpless. Just then, Edo Itachi took action, a red skeletal arm appeared, and the Yasakani no Magatama condensed directly, its target being Uchiha Sasuke.

Upon witnessing this scene, Sasuke Uchiha quickly dodged. The impact and dust from the massive explosion forced him to activate his Susanoo to resist. But at that moment, Sasuke suddenly saw a pair of unusual eyes.

That wasn't Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, but Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui actually gave up controlling Kakashi and came directly to this side. Although the control of the genjutsu was not lasting, Uchiha Sasuke still managed to release Susanoo under such influence.

However, what brought him back to his senses was not his resistance to the illusion, but the pain from his soul, as if something was pulling at his soul!

When Sasuke Uchiha regained consciousness, he felt an unusual coldness in his body, while the puppet Itachi that was later summoned pulled a blurry energy from his abdomen.

Uchiha Sasuke could clearly sense that this was not chakra, but his soul. If this continued, he would die here!

But unfortunately, he was completely surrounded by two Itachi Uchiha and one Shisui Uchiha.

On the other side, Kakashi, who had just escaped Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu, was seriously injured by Sakura Haruno's punch, which she had just made up her mind to use, before she could even figure out what was going on!

"I'm pleased with your determination, but the problem is I'm already awake!"
