Chapter 222: Use Your Strongest Move and Entertain Me!
Whoosh!
As Alex spoke, four figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze!
The four reanimated Hokage!
"They are..." The Konoha ninja stared in shock at the four who had suddenly appeared. The more they looked, the more familiar they seemed, their faces gradually merging with the stone faces on the Hokage Rock. They shouted in disbelief, "The previous Hokage have arrived!!"
"The First Hokage! The Second Hokage! The Third Hokage! And the Fourth Hokage!"
"Now that the previous Hokage have been resurrected, can they beat that terrifying enemy?"
"This... they should be able to, right? Those are the Hokage, especially the First Hokage, known as the God of Shinobi!!"
"I think there's great hope. Look at the sky, the Ghost of the Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, is there too!"
"Those two dominated an entire era of the ninja world. They can definitely defeat Akatsuki's White Tiger!"
The ninja lying on the ground felt their hope returning. The reputations of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were simply too great. With everyone present to deal with one person, the odds of winning seemed high.
"Young people these days..." Hashirama Senju crossed his arms, looking solemnly at Alex. "Truly incredible... absolutely incredible..."
That unreserved aura made even him feel fear, his body trembling. It was a sensation he hadn't felt before. Since mastering Wood Release, no existence in the ninja world had ever made him smell death like this. Not even his lifelong rival—Madara Uchiha!
"He can fly... and his aura is stronger than Elder Brother's..." Tobirama Senju's face was grave as he analyzed calmly, "His strength is likely terrifying, and..." He looked at Konan and the transforming Obito behind Alex. "This is merely a clone... how strong is the main body..."
The more he analyzed, the heavier his heart grew. When did the ninja world produce someone stronger than his brother?
After being reanimated, he had been informed of the situation. He knew the guy in the sky had dangerous ideas. Judging by this stance, he intended to utterly destroy the Five Great Ninja Villages. To destroy the current structure of the ninja world. He didn't know what would happen afterward, but he absolutely could not sit by and watch Konoha be destroyed. Nor could he place the decision of the ninja world's future in the hands of such a dangerous, unknown enemy.
"Hm?" Tobirama's gaze shifted to the mangled, twisted corpse smashed into the ground on the other side. "That is..."
First came surprise, then realization. "The evil Uchiha brat..."
Through the clothing, the ninja sword, and the barely recognizable hairstyle, he identified the terribly mangled corpse as Sasuke Uchiha.
"Even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was no match... and he died so quickly..."
It hadn't been long at all... They had arrived almost right after him, yet he had been defeated so swiftly... and died so miserably that one couldn't bear to look.
"Sasuke is dead..."
The elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi merely glanced at Sasuke's corpse before locking his gaze tightly on Alex in the sky. He gripped the Adamantine Staff, transformed from Enma, tightly in his hands.
It was just a clone, yet the pressure was like a mountain on his shoulders, incredibly heavy. This enemy was terrifying, the strongest person he had seen in his life. Even the First Hokage couldn't compare.
"Naruto..." Minato Namikaze's face was solemn and filled with worry.
Whoosh! He entered Kurama Chakra Mode, his body cloaked in a golden chakra coat. Orange pigmentation appeared around his eyes. He had entered Sage Mode.
When he was alive, his Sage Mode had been lackluster due to chakra limitations. The reanimated body solved this defect, allowing him to successfully master perfect Sage Mode.
With his enhanced senses, he quickly discovered the three corpses lying on another battlefield...
"Naruto... Kakashi..."
Minato fell silent, saying no more. But the golden chakra cloak on his body shone even brighter, like an eruption of rage.
Next to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi took in Minato's changes. He sighed in his heart. Naruto... the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had fallen in battle. They... were too late...
Madara Uchiha noticed Hashirama Senju below and immediately shouted with excitement, "Hashirama!"
"Madara!" Hashirama responded instinctively.
"Hashirama!!"
"Madara!!"
"Hashirama!!!"
"Madara!!!"
"Here they go again..." Tobirama kept a cold face, feeling utterly speechless. These two... whether alive or dead, they always had to do this. Calling each other's names with deep emotion and longevity. It seemed all words and feelings were contained within the shouting of names, letting the other understand their meaning.
"Brother!" Tobirama couldn't take it anymore and intervened, "The enemy is right there, don't be careless!!"
He wanted to say, don't embarrass yourself in front of the enemy and so many ninja... You are the Hokage of Konoha, the God of Shinobi. With the whole ninja world gathered here, really, mind your image...
"Madara!" Hashirama shouted solemnly. "The enemy this time is very strong. Even I am not confident. Let's fight together, Madara!!"
"Hmph!" Madara snorted coldly. "Hashirama, are you begging me?!"
"Are you begging for my help??!"
"Consider it me begging you," Hashirama said seriously. "This battle concerns the future of the entire ninja world. We absolutely cannot lose. Come on, Madara, just like back then, let's fight together!!"
"Heh..." Madara sneered. "Hashirama, I never thought there'd be a day you'd beg me. Since you've asked, I have no choice but to satisfy you."
He glanced at Alex across from them. Realizing the opponent wasn't stopping them, he landed on the ground, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hashirama. Whether out of tsundere pride or the realization that he couldn't defeat Alex alone, he complied with Hashirama's request to face this unprecedented enemy together.
Alex naturally wouldn't stop them. This final battle was intended for Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
"This really brings back memories..." Hashirama looked at Madara beside him out of the corner of his eye and sighed. "Madara, I never thought we'd fight side by side again. This feeling isn't bad."
This scene felt like the days when they fought together to establish Konoha.
"Hmph! Hashirama, you're so sentimental!" Madara said coldly, seemingly unmoved. But the corner of his mouth betrayed him. Like Hashirama, he was equally nostalgic and excited.
Tobirama yielded his usual spot next to his brother. Facing a great enemy, personal likes and dislikes shouldn't affect unity. Even if it was the man who always stole his brother's attention, the most evil of the Uchiha—Madara Uchiha! He had to yield!
Alex looked down at the five standing below and shouted, "You're all ready, right?! Use your strongest Ninjutsu to entertain me! Unleash your full strength so your reanimation wasn't in vain!"
As his voice fell, the auras of Alex, Madara, and Hashirama shot into the sky. The exploding chakra fluctuations made all the ninja lying on the perimeter feel suffocated and terrified.
Alex struck first, clapping his hands together and shouting, "Paper Style: Paper World Descent!!"
