"Fourth Hokage?"
The Third Raikage looked at Minato Namikaze without any expression, but inside, he let out a sigh of relief.
He really didn't want to kill for the person pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Now that a worthy opponent had appeared, he hoped this man could stop him.
At the same time, the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage also met their own opponents.
The Second Mizukage faced Uzumaki Kushina.
The Second Tsuchikage faced Hatake Sakumo.
With these three powerhouses joining the battle, the situation for the Fourth Division quickly stabilized.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Minato and the other two helped ease the crisis for the Fourth Division, making Kabuto, who was hiding in the rear, blurt out in disbelief.
Whether it was the Namikaze couple or Hatake Sakumo, these people had already been dead for many years. Their bodies should have turned to bones by now.
So why were these three showing up on the battlefield like they were still alive and well?
And then there was Jiraiya, who had appeared on the other side — Kabuto suddenly felt like he might have walked into some kind of massive conspiracy.
Just think about it — at such a critical moment, people who were supposed to be dead suddenly appeared right in front of you.
If there wasn't some kind of hidden scheme behind this, then that would be an insult to Kabuto's intelligence.
"Damn it, I hope that masked man brings me some good news."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
One second Kabuto was muttering about the masked Obito, and the next second, the masked Obito appeared right in front of him.
Masked Obito: "I have something to tell you."
Kabuto: "I have something to ask you."
It was obvious both of them were anxious — they spoke almost at the same time.
After a brief pause, they both said, "You go first." x2.
"."
They fell silent again for a moment, and then Obito gave Kabuto a look, signaling him to speak first.
"Something went wrong on my side. The Reanimated Four Kage who were supposed to ambush the Fourth Unit got blocked by someone who suddenly appeared."
Hearing that, Obito's mind immediately flashed to Jiraiya over at the First Unit.
"Was this person who appeared... someone who had died before?"
"Yes."
With that confirmation, Obito's expression tightened as he continued asking, "Who exactly showed up?"
"Three people. They are Sakumo Hatake, Kushina Uzumaki, and Minato Namikaze."
"What?!"
Hearing those names, Obito was clearly shocked.
Sakumo Hatake wasn't a big deal — sure, he was Kakashi's father, but Obito had never really interacted with him.
But Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were different.
One was the teacher he once admired. The other was like a mother to him.
He still remembered that pain created by Minato's Rasengan, and he could never forget Kushina's warm and gentle eyes.
There was even a time when he regretted killing the kind couple who treated him so well.
But compared to his ultimate goal, he believed that sacrifice was worth it.
In the new world he would create, Rin would be revived — and so would his teacher and Kushina.
But the Infinite Tsukuyomi hasn't even started yet. The new world hasn't been created.
So how are they already resurrected?!
"Can you send your White Zetsu army to find out what's going on?"
Forcing himself to calm down, Obito nodded and replied, "Don't worry. I'll have White Zetsu look into it."
White Zetsu might not be great in a fight, but when it comes to scouting, he's the best.
That Spore Jutsu that can possess someone — even he couldn't sense White Zetsu's presence without being on guard.
"What about you? Do you have something to say?"
"Mm."
Originally, Masked Obito wanted to talk to Kabuto about the other Obito.
In his opinion, with both of his Kamui abilities, he should definitely be one of the top-tier existences in the ninja world.
At this stage, he still needed Kabuto's Edo Tensei army.
He thought about reminding him to be careful — he must not let that other Obito find him.
But now, he changed his mind.
There was no need for Kabuto to know about the other Obito.
He just needed the Edo Tensei army to stall the Allied Shinobi Forces.
As long as he took care of the remaining Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails and became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki,
Then everything would be settled.
"Retreat. Before White Zetsu finishes his investigation, it's best that your Edo Tensei army doesn't suffer too many losses."
"Even if you didn't say anything, I was already planning to cancel Edo Tensei."
Kabuto believed the Allied Forces' trump card was these suddenly appearing powerful ninjas.
Now that he knew what their trump card was, there was no point dragging things out.
Once White Zetsu brought back solid intel, then he could unleash his own trump card — delivering a fatal blow to the Allied Forces.
Thinking this, Kabuto began weaving hand signs to cancel Edo Tensei.
In the Fourth Division, Namikaze Minato had already clashed with the Third Raikage.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique as a base, the two had exchanged several rounds.
The Third Raikage couldn't even touch a single hair on him.
But similarly, Minato lacked a powerful attack.
Even a Rasengan couldn't break through the Third Raikage's defenses.
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while.
Even as Minato was thinking about whether he should borrow some of the Nine-Tails' power to hit the enemy with a Tailed Beast Bomb, the Third Raikage's body suddenly started to crumble without warning.
"Did they cancel the Reanimation Jutsu?"
Watching the Third Raikage slowly fall apart, Minato frowned and vanished with a swoosh.
When he appeared again, he was beside Kushina.
"While his body is falling apart, take me there, honey. Let me try sealing him."
"Alright."
Kushina's request made sense, so Minato didn't overthink it. He threw a kunai at the Second Mizukage and held Kushina's hand. Flying Thunder God activated.
The Second Mizukage understood right away. When the two suddenly appeared in front of him, he spoke up to warn them: "If you're gonna seal me, do it fast. I've only got a few seconds left."
Hearing that, Minato and Kushina didn't waste time. They immediately started sealing the Second Mizukage.
In just a short while, the seal was successful.
"Tch, I thought all the future shinobi were idiots. Didn't expect some smart ones after all!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Second Mizukage."
With Minato's humble smile, the Second Mizukage was sealed successfully.
"Too bad we didn't manage to seal the Third Raikage or the Second Tsuchikage."
Kushina pouted slightly.
Out of the three Reanimated Kage, they only managed to seal one. That left her a bit unsatisfied.
"Alright, let's leave the rest to the shinobi of the future… and the Second Hokage's team."
Minato chuckled softly, not minding the small gain from this battle.
"Minato, what should we do now?"
Sakumo hurried over.
He wasn't skilled in sealing techniques and could only watch helplessly as the Second Tsuchikage's body completely disintegrated.
"There's still some time left. Sakumo-san can use it as you see fit."
"It seems too late to return to the Allied Forces headquarters, and not enough time to find Kakashi. Forget it, I'll just wait here until time runs out."
Minato and Kushina nodded.
They were thinking the same thing.
