[Rasa: So this is the strength of the First-generation Kage… truly formidable. He actually managed to suppress Uchiha Itachi's Fire Release and black flames using only Wind Release.]
[Reto: Of course, kid. Since Fire Release naturally counters Wind Release, you must find ways to deal with it.]
[Fourth Raikage A: And the First Raikage as well—his speed is incredible.]
[First Raikage A: Hahaha, of course! Back then, if we weren't fast enough, other ninja clans would easily ambush us.]
[Ōnoki: Sigh… the old man is still as powerful as ever.]
[Ishikawa: You old geezer shouldn't be calling me old! But that young Uchiha clan leader is impressive—he can actually match me in ninjutsu.]
[Fugaku Uchiha: You flatter me. I only have the advantage of youth.]
[Sakumo Hatake: Kakashi, did you see clearly? This is the true Hatake Swordsmanship. The White Fang may have broken, but your sword's spirit must never break.]
[Kakashi Hatake: Father…]
[Sakumo Hatake: Alright. If there's a chance, I'll personally teach you again. As for the Sharingan… that's for you to decide.]
[Madara Uchiha: Still, Izuna and Kagami are truly evenly matched.]
[Hashirama Senju: Hahaha, this reminds me of Tobirama and Tōka. One specialized in genjutsu, while the other specialized in breaking it.
If Tōka hadn't died, Tobirama, you might not have stayed single your whole life.]
[Tobirama Senju: Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?!]
[Senju Tōka: Hahaha, Tobirama, this is the first time I've seen you panic.]
[Tobirama Senju: Hmph.]
[Senju Tōka: But… if I hadn't died, maybe I really would have married you.]
[Tobirama Senju: ...]
[Nagi: It's fine. I'll revive you.]
[Senju Tōka: Hehe, then thank you, little Nagi.]
The Screen Continues…Fourth Division Battlefield
The four resurrected Kage were approaching.
Gengetsu Hōzuki spoke first.
"Oh? The army has stopped. Planning to start the battle?"
Mū said calmly:
"They're here."
The moment he finished speaking—
A massive sand waterfall surged toward them.
Gengetsu couldn't help but admire it.
"Oh! Quite a spectacular sand cascade."
Shamon nodded.
"I wonder if this is one of Sunagakure's descendants."
He plunged his hand into the sand, instantly raising a massive sand wave.
The two sand tides collided and stalled against each other.
At the same time—
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!" ×2
Ōnoki's conical beam and Mū's cylindrical beam collided.
A white explosion erupted, instantly interrupting the sand clash between Gaara and Shamon.
After briefly chatting with the Second Mizukage and Second Tsuchikage, Ōnoki chose to begin the real battle.
Gaara used sand arms to seize the legs of the three Kage—except Mū.
Shamon lightly tapped the sand on his leg, and the sand immediately slipped away.
"A descendant of Sunagakure, huh? Not bad. Your Magnet Release is very skillful."
"But you must be the One-Tail's Jinchūriki, correct?"
"That's right."
"And not only that—he is also the Kazekage of Sunagakure."
Chiyo stepped forward as she spoke.
Shamon examined Gaara with admiration.
"A Jinchūriki becoming Kazekage… child, that's remarkable."
"Chiyo, you deal with me. Do your best to keep that child away from me!"
"Just what I was thinking."
Chiyo pulled out a puppet scroll.
The founder of puppet techniques versus Sunagakure's strongest modern puppet master—a fierce battle was about to begin.
Meanwhile, Ōnoki and Gaara led Mū away.
Their plan was to defeat the Kage one by one.
Temari and Dodai led a squad to confront the Third Raikage.
As for Gengetsu Hōzuki, the remaining forces would do their best to stall him.
Allied Forces Headquarters
After another clash—
Both Kagami and Izuna activated their Mangekyō Sharingan, staring at each other cautiously.
"So even our ocular powers can't defeat the other… then—"
"The Third Power: Susanoo!"
Their Mangekyō abilities activated simultaneously.
Two enormous chakra giants appeared on the battlefield.
"Yasaka Magatama! ×2"
With perfect synchronization, both immediately launched Yasaka Magatama at each other.
After the explosion, they drew the spiritual weapons of their Susanoo and engaged in fierce combat.
Fugaku vs. Ishikawa
"Senior, it seems you're ready to end the battle. Very well… then—"
"Susanoo!"
Fugaku activated Susanoo — Stage Two.
Seeing this, Ishikawa formed hand seals and poured Earth Release chakra into the ground.
"Earth Release: Clay Giant!"
A massive stone giant rose from the earth.
Ishikawa laughed proudly.
"Hahaha! Not bad, right? This is an Earth Release technique developed by that kid Mū."
"I never expected I'd get to use it myself after death."
Facing the enormous rock giant, Fugaku's fighting spirit surged.
"Then come, senior!"
"Good!"
The Susanoo giant and rock giant immediately clashed.
After more than a dozen exchanges—
Half of the rock giant's body had been destroyed.
Fugaku's Susanoo was also covered in cracks.
Ishikawa sighed regretfully.
"Sigh… using an unfamiliar technique really is difficult."
At that moment, Fugaku increased the output of his dōjutsu power, causing armor to form over his Susanoo.
He successfully entered Susanoo — Stage Three.
Fugaku shook his head slightly.
"This is the third stage of Susanoo… I never dared to use it while alive, fearing the massive drain on my eyes."
"I never expected to unlock it only after death."
Then Fugaku charged forward, Susanoo wielding its spiritual weapon toward Ishikawa.
Ishikawa quickly repaired part of the rock giant.
"Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!"
The two titanic constructs launched into another violent clash.
Although the rock giant possessed incredible durability—
It was still no match for Susanoo.
In the end, Fugaku defeated Ishikawa using Susanoo's overwhelming advantage.
Itachi & Shisui vs. the First Raikage
During the battle against the First Raikage and Reto, Shisui and Itachi exchanged a glance.
They nodded.
Instantly understanding each other's plan.
Suddenly, they switched positions.
"Dance of the Sun Halo!"
Shisui swung his short blade, releasing a flaming arc that temporarily forced Reto back.
"Crow Clone Technique!"
Itachi transformed into several crows and rushed toward the First Raikage.
Thinking it might be a trap, the Raikage used Lightning Release Body Flicker to dodge.
The crows suddenly gathered together—
Reforming into Itachi.
"An opening."
The First Raikage threw a punch.
The blow struck Itachi directly.
But—
"Hmm?"
Something felt wrong.
The Raikage suddenly felt as if his body had reversed direction.
At that instant—
Shisui appeared with the Body Flicker Technique.
"Chaotic Snow Moon Flower! ×2"
Shisui and Itachi unleashed Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, then repeatedly used Body Flicker to shift positions and attack the Raikage from multiple angles.
Although the First Raikage possessed incredible speed—
Itachi's Crow Clone technique had already slowed him down slightly.
And the rapid, relentless attacks from both Itachi and Shisui were impossible to defend against.
Finally—
Both of them lunged forward simultaneously.
Their blades pierced the First Raikage, successfully delivering the finishing blow.
