Chapter 296
Now it seemed that the Great Toad Sage was nothing more than a toad who bullied the weak, feared the strong, and clung shamelessly to life.
Faced with the Fifth Hokage — Uchiha Yuta — he acted utterly submissive.
He didn't dare strike back at all…
Of course, this also highlighted from the side just how terrifying the Fifth Hokage truly was.
Yuta's sheer momentum alone had forced the Great Toad Sage to reveal his true nature.
---
"Snort… Senju Hashirama, don't get too happy too early. This so-called Great Toad Sage is just trash — nothing worth worrying about."
"That's right. The real battle hasn't even started yet. Neither Uchiha Madara nor the Sage of Six Paths hiding behind the scenes have made a move."
"The Fifth Hokage — Uchiha Yuta — is indeed strong, but Uchiha Madara and the legendary Sage of Six Paths with the Rinnegan aren't ones to be underestimated."
"Let's wait and see. We still don't know who will truly win. Madara and the Sage of Six Paths won't surrender so easily."
The voices of the ninja headed by the First Hokage — Senju Hashirama — stirred tension.
The First Kazekage, the Second Kazekage, the Second Raikage, the Third Raikage, and the Fourth Raikage, all reincarnated through Edo Tensei, glared at him with fury. It was as if the real show had only just begun.
---
"Yeah?"
"Hahaha, we're just here to watch."
"Even though we were reincarnated and resurrected by Uchiha Madara… we stand with the Allied Shinobi Forces, and our hearts belong to Konoha. We have full confidence in the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta!"
"Now that the Fifth Hokage has been established, you should stop your pointless resistance and surrender!"
"In the future, once Uchiha Yuta unifies the ninja world, he will at least leave a ray of hope for Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Otherwise, you will be the ones to bear the consequences…"
---
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, along with the First through Fourth Kazekage and Mizukage, all shrugged indifferently.
Among them, Hashirama and Tobirama even went as far as creating wooden chairs with Mokuton techniques, casually sitting down as if they were here to watch a play.
"You… you two…"
"The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama… the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama… you've gone too far!"
"Do you really think the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, can do whatever he wants?"
---
The First Kazekage, Second Kazekage, Second Raikage, Third Raikage, and Fourth Raikage — all Edo Tensei summons — nearly spat blood in rage.
Damn it! At such a crucial moment in the war, what were they doing?
Hashirama and Tobirama were actually sitting back drinking tea as if it had nothing to do with them. Was this not a blatant show of contempt for the Allied Shinobi Forces?
---
"Heh…"
In response, Hashirama, Tobirama, and the other Hokage who had been reincarnated only sneered.
To them, these Kazekage and Raikage were nothing more than trash. Compared to the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, they weren't even worth mentioning. Even against the Hokage themselves, they were clearly inferior. There was nothing to be arrogant about.
---
"...This…"
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent all this time, nearly spat blood.
The Great Toad Sage had surrendered so easily — was this truly the legendary elder of Mount Myōboku?
Still, as an experienced shinobi, Hiruzen kept quiet. He understood well that the real fight hadn't begun yet. Who would win was still unknown. But one thing was certain: the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, clearly had the upper hand.
That thought filled him with deep bitterness.
Once, his rule as Hokage had been overthrown by Yuta, and his lifelong reputation destroyed. Now, reincarnated through Edo Tensei by Uchiha Madara, he had to watch Yuta dominate again. It was humiliation upon humiliation.
---
"Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu… why wasn't Mitokado Homura reincarnated as well?"
Hiruzen muttered helplessly.
If Danzō had been summoned too, then his shame could have been shared. After all, misery loves company.
---
"How could this be?"
Seeing the Allied Shinobi Forces — even the Edo Tensei Kage — falling into disarray, Black Zetsu frowned in confusion.
Damn it. That Great Toad Sage was truly useless. At such a critical moment, instead of helping, he had completely ruined the situation.
"Why is the Great Toad Sage so cowardly?"
After a moment, Black Zetsu couldn't help but ask his mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, hidden within him.
With the Great Toad Sage's strength, even if he couldn't defeat Uchiha Yuta outright, there was no way he should have surrendered so easily.
---
To his surprise, Kaguya's cold voice replied from within:
"Hmph… you fools. You underestimate the Great Toad Sage."
She actually agreed with the Sage's actions, believing that his decision had been correct.
