Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"That's certainly the case at the moment, although I will try to stop you," Naruto said expressionlessly.

"Oh dear, this is terrible..." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed repeatedly.

Tobirama Senju sneered, "That enemy really did something stupid. This time, the Edo Tensei was far more precise than the last time, allowing us to return to this world almost with our original power."

"Besides, I'm the developer of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Whenever I want, I can... um?!"

Tobirama Senju suddenly realized that he could no longer control his body.

Hashirama Senju also put away his playful mood and said with a slightly serious expression, "It seems that the enemy has specifically modified the Impure World Reincarnation technique to target us. The sacrifices were carefully selected, and even the caster has undergone special training and has done a lot of research on my cells."

He then chuckled and joked casually, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. At least I can break free from control whenever I want... Huh? Why can't I?"

Hashirama Senju then realized that the enemy's research into his cells seemed to be beyond his imagination.

To research this to that extent would take at least several decades...

Who exactly is capable of doing this?

"I'm sorry, Fifth Hokage, I might be causing you some trouble." Hashirama Senju said somewhat apologetically.

"But you don't need to worry too much. Just hold on for ten minutes. It will take a while, but I can still break free of your control."

But Naruto shook his head.

There's no need for that.

"Because I will finish the fight in ten minutes."

Chapter 144 Kabuto Yakushi is shocked by Naruto's strength

Inside a secluded cave.

Kabuto looked at the four remaining pieces on the chessboard, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"Damn it... How can Naruto Uzumaki be so strong..."

Kabuto Yakushi and Obito Uchiha proposed a collaboration, using reanimated ninjas to buy him time to capture the tailed beasts; naturally, they had their own motives.

In his original plan, Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha wanted to obtain the Tailed Beasts, so as long as he captured the Nine-Tails as a bargaining chip, he would truly have the right to be on the table.

Madara Uchiha even helped him by providing the results of his decades of research on Hashirama cells.

Kabuto Yakushi was also able to make a special modification to the Impure World Reincarnation technique specifically for Hashirama Senju, achieving temporary control over it.

His fantasy was quite beautiful.

The resurrected Madara Uchiha possesses the Rinnegan, and might even be able to break free from the control of the resurrection technique. Therefore, Kabuto Yakushi actually intended to use the resurrected Hashirama Senju to deal with him.

As for Obito Uchiha, his mere Mangekyou Sharingan would probably be no match for him after shedding his snake skin and transforming into a dragon.

Regarding Naruto, he knew about Naruto's glorious achievements, such as defeating Orochimaru in the Chunin Exams, single-handedly wiping out the ninjas of the Land of Lightning, defeating the Akatsuki organization, unifying the ninja world with unique methods, and defeating Nagato who possessed the Sage's Eyes...

Even so, Kabuto Yakushi felt he would lose before the battle even began.

Because he accomplished something even his mentor Orochimaru couldn't—shedding his snake skin and transforming into a dragon!

After learning Sage Mode at Ryuchi Cave, he believed he had mastered the most perfect Sage Mode and was the person in the world closest to the Sage of Six Paths.

He believed he had been cautious enough.

Tactically speaking, he attacked the enemy's stronghold, deploying all his forces to attack Konoha to prevent Naruto from escaping. He also had Obito send out the White Zetsu army to deplete Naruto's chakra.

Even so, he did not underestimate his enemy. He made good use of every force at his disposal, even sending out those unruly and deformed individuals who had failed to be resurrected to deplete Naruto's chakra.

When he saw Naruto choose to fight alone in order to protect Konoha and prevent anyone from dying in the war, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had discovered a weakness in Naruto's character and that victory was certain!

Then the corners of his mouth continued to turn downwards as the reanimated ninjas were defeated one by one.

You mean...

Hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder + a group of elite Jonin + former Kage of the four great ninja villages + a healthy Nagato with the Rinnegan

Some of these people even benefited from the Edo Tensei's unlimited regeneration and chakra, allowing them to unleash power far exceeding their pre-mortem strength.

So all of them combined couldn't defeat one person?

Even after the fight, Naruto showed no injuries and his chakra was completely depleted.

This situation is completely different from what Kabuto Yakushi had imagined.

At this point, among the remaining reanimated ninjas, only the four former Hokage and Madara Uchiha remained who could fight Naruto.

Uchiha Madara, needless to say, would definitely not stand on his side.

Therefore, the only ones he could still send out were the four previous Hokage.

"Damn it, I was planning to save Hashirama Senju to deal with Madara Uchiha."

With things having come to this point, Yakushi Kabuto had no other choice.

The risk of personally participating in the battle is too great; unless absolutely necessary, he will definitely remain behind the scenes.

"But even Hashirama Senju has been sent out..."

"We will win!"

On the other side of the battlefield.

Although they did not want to fight Naruto, the four previous Hokage were controlled by the Impure World Reincarnation technique and had no choice but to fight.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, thought that as the developer of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he could use it to turn the tables on the mastermind behind the scenes. However, he did not expect that the opponent's Impure World Reincarnation technique had far surpassed the version he had initially developed.

Hashirama Senju, the only one capable of breaking free from control, also needed ten minutes due to the opponent's targeted approach.

The moment he tried to break free of control, the mastermind behind the scenes began manipulating them into a fight.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, made the first move, forming hand seals and slamming the ground, but instead of summoning a summoning beast, he knew that Enma would definitely choose to help Naruto once he knew the situation.

As he moved, a dragon head made of rocks and soil emerged from the ground and spewed mud and rocks at Naruto.

Naruto did not dodge, because an attack of that magnitude was simply not enough to harm him.

However, when the mudslide came into view, Naruto saw a Flying Thunder God kunai flash by inside.

"Flying Thunder God!"

At the same time, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was also controlled by Kabuto Yakushi, who activated Sage Mode and used the Flying Thunder God Kunai to teleport to Naruto's side, with a Sage Art: Giant Rasengan condensed in his hand.

Naruto reacted quickly, but Minato Namikaze was not slow either. Almost instantly, the Rasengan filled Naruto's field of vision.

boom!

The Sage Art: Giant Rasengan slammed directly into Naruto.

"Naruto!" Minato Namikaze exclaimed anxiously upon seeing this.

Although he knew Naruto wouldn't be killed so easily, as a father, he still couldn't bear to see it happen.

When the smoke cleared, Naruto was revealed to be completely unharmed.

It turns out that at the critical moment, the system temporarily took over the body and mobilized the Seven-Tails' chakra to form a Tailed Beast chakra cloak similar to an exoskeleton on Naruto's body. Therefore, Naruto was not injured, only the Tailed Beast chakra cloak was slightly damaged.

Minato Namikaze's reaction was indeed very fast, but he was ultimately just a human.

However, the system's computational and analytical capabilities and its absolute control over the body surpass those of the entire ninja world.

[Host, Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, granting them extremely high mobility.]

Hashirama Senju, as the strongest of the four previous Hokage, possessed formidable strength.

Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is the easiest to defeat.

Naruto nodded slightly, accepting the system's suggestion.

Although for some reason, a scene from his childhood at the ninja academy, where his teacher Iruka introduced Hiruzen Sarutobi as the "strongest Hokage," flashed through his mind...

At that moment, several kunai passed through the dust and arrived in front of Naruto.

"Flying Thunder God—"

Seeing that Minato Namikaze's attack had no effect, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again.

But this time it wasn't Minato Namikaze, but Tobirama Senju.

"cut!"

Tobirama Senju instantly appeared near the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and thrust the kunai into the gap in Naruto's exoskeleton that Minato Namikaze had just created.

Having just learned his lesson, Naruto remained vigilant and immediately swung his hand, striking towards Tobirama Senju.

However, Tobirama Senju's thrust was merely a feint; his true purpose was to place explosive tags on Naruto.

In fact, this isn't just an explosive tag, but...

"Multiply Detonating Tags!"

Chapter 145 Fighting Four Hokage (Part 2 Combined)

As Tobirama Senju activated the explosive tags, blinding white light instantly filled everyone's vision, followed by a series of explosions.

Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing—

In terms of sheer power, multiplicative explosive tags are nothing special, considering that Naruto has seen six hundred billion explosive tags.

The most distinctive feature of the multiplicative explosive tags is that each explosive tag can summon the next explosive tag, enabling pinpoint strikes.

Konan's six hundred billion explosive tags didn't actually unleash their full power; most of them were neutralized by Naruto using various methods.

However, the multiplicative detonating tags are different; they can be said to concentrate power to the extreme, with almost no waste.

Moreover, because it can continuously summon new explosive tags, its power is quite considerable.

Although Naruto's body is covered by an exoskeleton and he is not injured at this moment, the continuous explosion of the Mutual Explosion Tags will still deplete his chakra.

"This will never end."

Naruto then placed his palms together, and a pure white cube formed between them.

"Dust Release: Limit Decomposition Technique!"

A flash of white light appeared, and the pure white cube instantly expanded hundreds of times the moment it left my hand.
