Orochimaru: "Hehehe~"
Orochimaru: "You should be thanking me too."
Luo Sha: ...
Is that so?
[He's already the Fourth Hokage...]
"It feels like traveling through time."
Hozuki Gengetsu's expression was somewhat complicated.
What will happen in this war?
He didn't know.
[at the moment. ]
Looking at all those unfamiliar faces.
His feelings were extremely complicated.
The only familiar face.
Still the guy I hate the most.
["haven't seen you for a long time."]
["Father."]
Gaara looked down at Rasa.
[He calls out to his father.]
But there was not a trace of familial affection in his expression.
Gaara's voice also brought Hozuki Gengetsu back to his senses.
["A remote corner!"]
"Where's Shukaku?"
[Luo Sha's expression was icy.]
"And why did you lead Sunagakure to submit to the Land of Whirlpools?!"
Gaara crosses his arms.
[The finger twitches slightly.]
In an instant.
[Fine sand and gravel flowed from the gourd behind.]
[soon. ]
The sand and gravel then coalesced into a ball.
["Gagaga~!!!"]
"I'm out again!!!"
"Damn Rasa!"
"What are you calling me?!"
Everyone: "Huh???"
This scene left everyone puzzled.
Inside the sealed space.
Shukaku blinked.
No, that's not right!
Why do I find this feeling good?!
Who brainwashed me?!
...
"I am no longer."
"A mere weapon of war created by my father—a Jinchūriki."
[Luo Sha's face was filled with disbelief.]
He hadn't expected this.
Gaara has actually become the perfect Jinchūriki.
This is impossible.
Even the previous Shukaku Jinchuriki, Bunpuku, couldn't do that.
Let's see what Shukaku looks like.
[There was absolutely no indication that it would backfire on Gaara.]
"What do 'Sunagakure' and 'Land of Whirlpools' mean?!"
"Chiyo didn't stop you?"
"Grandma Chiyo is currently fighting off the enemy at the border of the Land of Wind."
"She asked for it herself."
"You offered it?!" Luo Sha gritted her teeth.
He was absolutely certain.
His death was not far removed from the present.
How could the ninja world have become something he doesn't recognize in such a short time?
"What?"
"You are our father."
"Why are you so strict with your own child?"
"Finally resurrected... well, you could call it a resurrection."
Why did you start by questioning the child?
Even Hozuki Gengetsu couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Luo Sha ignored him.
But I accepted it.
Hozuki Gengetsu was stunned.
Gaara slowly raised his hand.
[It pressed down on Shukaku's head.]
[Boom!]
In an instant.
The ground began to shake.
The sand from the sand gourd behind Gaara had somehow seeped to the surface and seeped into the ground.
["Father."]
"I've nearly died at your hands six times."
"Each time, my fear and hatred towards you only grow stronger."
["Now."]
"What's in front of you is..."
"The Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, the Land of Whirlpools."
"Protecting the village from any threats is the village's responsibility."
"You've become the Kazekage...?!" Rasa's eyes widened.
[Is it coercion?]
[Whoosh—]
Nagato Uzumaki appeared before the group.
"That's not all."
"This child will also be a bridge connecting Sunagakure and Amegakure in the future."
"Despite becoming a Kage at such a young age, this Kage is recognized not only by Sunagakure, but also by Amegakure."
Hozuki Gengetsu was dumbfounded.
Six times...six times he almost died at the hands of his own father?
Is this correct?
"So, Father."
"Now, it's your turn."
"Naruto-kun said..." Gaara opened his mouth, then shook his head.
"No, you're not qualified to hear what Naruto-kun has to say."
"I see, no wonder. I was wondering why I sensed similar chakra."
"So they're father and son."
Hozuki Gengetsu takes a deep breath.
First, I accepted this bizarre fact.
"Having no eyebrows actually looks pretty good!"
"Very good, it hasn't become a product of so-called willpower."
No eyebrows?
[far away. ]
Temari, who was walking this way, frowned slightly upon hearing Hozuki Gengetsu's words.
[She subconsciously touched her delicate eyebrows.]
[fine. ]
She has it.
[Wait a minute! How dare they call Gaara "eyebrowless"?]
[That little mustache!]
[Oh~]
"That's right~"
"I don't think I have eyebrows either~"
Hozuki Gengetsu smiled kindly.
Gaara looked at him.
[He smiled.]
Gaara's lips curled into a slight smile.
This can be considered a response.
Upon witnessing this scene, Luo Sha's expression instantly turned grim.
["So."]
"The short guy with the mustache next to him is the Mizukage."
"Those who were my contemporaries were all second-generation leaders."
[He slowly straightened up.]
It's still possible to have a chat.
Although our stance has changed.
However, even from just a few words, Wu was already quite curious about the ninja world of this era.
[That Naruto Uzumaki.]
What kind of person is he exactly?
[They actually managed to unite the three great ninja villages.]
[The five great daimyo of the five kingdoms unite...]
"He is my son."
At this moment.
[Minato Namikaze suddenly spoke.]
Wu paused for a moment.
[Then I felt relieved.]
[I underestimated the seemingly harmless Fourth Hokage.]
["oioioi~!"]
["you."]
"If you're going to kill someone, kill this bandaged man first!"
"The Fourth Hokage, right?"
"Please kill the bandaged man first!"
"I'm here to support you in spirit!"
Everyone: "..."
"Is he your son?"
"What an excellent ninja."
["the same as you."]
The Third Raikage looked at Minato Namikaze.
He then glanced at Luo Sha again.
[Rasa looked at Gaara and began to reminisce.]
The moment Gaara was born...
However.
[The flashback scene has just appeared.]
[BOOM—!!!]
A gigantic hand of sand appeared out of thin air and slammed down on the three shadows.
[Whoosh—]
This time.
The three Edo Tensei (reanimated) figures all dodged.
["Gagaga~!"]
"I've been resurrected!"
[It appeared.]
It was a Shukaku.
[Its body is that of the sand-dwelling Shukaku.]
[A large amount of chakra was injected.]
This achieves an effect similar to feigning sleep.
[Look at this scene.]
[Luo Sha closed his eyes.]
[Suddenly laughed.]
"This Impure World Reincarnation technique seems to be a ninjutsu with some value."
Everyone: "???"
Luo Sha: ...
"For me, who uses Dust Release, the number of enemies is irrelevant."
"Please stop me."
"No matter what, we're all dead now." - Second Tsuchikage, Mudo.
"In short, none of us could control our bodies; we could only react automatically to the enemy's ninjutsu."
"This is troublesome. Please hurry and send me back to that world."
"I'm very curious... but since we're dead, let's not reappear in this ninja world."
Hozuki Gengetsu shook his head.
"Let me tell you my weaknesses."
The Third Raikage nodded.
"Since he's already dead, there's no need to consider his stance anymore; reality has its own cause and effect."
"For us dead, our karma has ended."
[call out--]
[The instant the words fell.]
Luo Sha has made his move.
A torrent of gold dust hurtled towards Gaara, who was suspended in mid-air.
[Sizzle—]
[The Third Raikage is enveloped in a cloak of lightning, activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode.]
[Hozuki Gengetsu's figure suddenly disappeared.]
The Second Tsuchikage leaned back, his figure slowly disappearing.
