The desert battlefield of the Land of Iron.
The Allied Shinobi Forces' Second Division was locked in a fierce struggle against the Edo Tensei–revived Four Kage and Danzo!
Although the Allied Forces had the advantage in numbers, their enemies were former Kage—each possessing immense strength and the immortality of Edo Tensei—making the battle extremely difficult and bloody.
The Second Mizukage, Hōzuki Gengetsu, watched the Allied Forces crumble under his attacks, rubbed his forehead, and sighed.
"The inheritance of the shinobi grows weaker with every generation. Even though I've been dead for decades, you still can't put me down. 눈_눈"
One Allied ninja said bitterly, "Mizukage-sama, it's just that you're too strong."
Gengetsu waved his hand.
"Enough small talk. The longer this drags on, the more dangerous it becomes for you. I'd like to help you, but since my body isn't under my control, I can only tell you how to counter my techniques…"
"Listen carefully. First, you need to…"
...
Not far from Gengetsu, the reanimated Third Raikage and Danzo, along with Rasa, tore through the battlefield like walking meat grinders—everywhere they went was filled with broken bodies and dismembered limbs.
A Kumogakure ninja, lying on the ground after having his chest pierced clean through by the Third Raikage's hand, coughed blood and muttered in despair,
"The Third Raikage's Lightning Release Armor gives him unmatched defense, and his Hell Stab: Piercing Four Fingered has devastating offensive power. He once fought off tens of thousands of Iwagakure shinobi alone… even fought the Eight-Tails to a draw. We can't possibly beat that…"
Another injured shinobi groaned,
"The strongest spear and the strongest shield in one man… and with Edo Tensei's regeneration on top of that, how are we supposed to win…?"
Just when the Allied Forces began to lose all hope, the Raikage's secretary used Heavenly Transfer Technique to send the Netherworld Seal scroll to Kurotsuchi's father, Kitsuchi.
At that moment, the Third Raikage's body crackled with lightning as he charged toward Kitsuchi, unleashing Hell Stab: One Fingered Assault!
The Four-Finger Thrust concentrated lightning chakra into four fingers before striking at high speed—similar to Chidori, but with far greater piercing power.
The One Fingered Assault, however, focused all that lightning chakra into a single finger, increasing its destructive power beyond measure. It was known across the shinobi world as "The Strongest Spear."
Even under Edo Tensei's control, the Third Raikage himself looked displeased.
He shouted a warning toward Kitsuchi, who stood directly in front of him:
"Young man, get out of the way! My One Fingered Assault can pierce even a tailed beast's body—you can't withstand it!"
Kitsuchi could only smile bitterly.
Run? Where could he run?
The Raikage's body, cloaked in lightning chakra, moved at a speed that defied the eye—leaving only afterimages in his wake.
And blocking it? That wasn't even an option.
The Four-Finger Thrust could already pierce through an enhanced Earth Flow Wall with ease, so the One Fingered Assault would obliterate it completely!
At the critical moment, Kitsuchi unrolled the sealing scroll that had just arrived from headquarters.
He already knew how to use it.
It was said that as long as the body of an Edo Tensei touched the symbols inscribed on the scroll, the soul would instantly return to the Netherworld, and the reanimated body would vanish.
"They said this was developed by Shinju… I just hope it can stop the strongest spear of the shinobi world…"
Kitsuchi muttered under his breath, though he knew how unlikely that was.
"Swish!!!"
In a flash, the Third Raikage's lightning-imbued hand was right before Kitsuchi's eyes.
Both of them had the same expression of shock on their faces: ∑(°Д°)
But then, the Raikage's look of alarm turned to one of confusion.
His fingertip had touched the inscription on the scroll!
The next moment—
"Whoosh—!"
The symbols on the scroll seemed to come alive, ripping the Raikage's soul straight out of his Edo Tensei body and absorbing it into the scroll!
With his soul gone, his reanimated body crumbled into dust.
Kitsuchi: (๑ʘ̅ д ʘ̅๑)!!!
"It… it worked?!"
"That's amazing—it actually worked this well?!"
But before long, a searing pain spread across his palm.
Looking down, he saw that the scroll was burning.
He already knew this would happen—headquarters had warned them—so without hesitation, he tossed the spent scroll aside and looked up toward Ōnoki, who was still battling the Second Tsuchikage in the sky.
"Dad! Use this sealing scroll!"
Ōnoki, still exchanging Dust Release blasts with the Second Tsuchikage, shouted back,
"Can't you see I'm busy here?! Ծ‸ Ծ"
"Find an opening and use it on him instead!"
"If you don't hurry, these old bones of mine are going to fall apart! (′д｀σ)σ"
Understanding immediately, Kitsuchi quickly distributed the remaining few scrolls and gave orders:
"You, assist the Tsuchikage! You guys, seal Danzo and the Fourth Kazekage! And the rest of you—get close enough to tag the Mizukage with this! You just need to touch them with it! ୧⍢⃝୨"
Thanks to the coordinated efforts of the Second Division, within an hour both the Second Mizukage and the Fourth Kazekage were sealed!
Now, on the desert battlefield of the Land of Iron, only the cunning Danzo and the flying Second Tsuchikage remained!
Danzo, having just witnessed the power of the Netherworld Seal scroll, asked the shinobi he was fighting in confusion,
"What kind of seal was inscribed on the scroll used on the Fourth Kazekage? It erased an Edo Tensei soul instantly?! (´°Δ°`)"
Among his opponents was a Konoha ninja, who proudly replied,
"Danzo-sama, that was a Netherworld Seal scroll—developed by Shinju specifically to deal with Edo Tensei shinobi! ୧⍢⃝୨"
Danzo: ∑(°Д°)
"Shinju? That kid's mastery of sealing arts is that advanced?!"
The Konoha ninja grinned.
"Not just that—his ninjutsu, senjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, everything—he's a prodigy in every field! ୧⍢⃝୨"
"Good thing a pillar of Konoha like him wasn't destroyed by you. (o´Д`o)ノ"
Danzo's face twisted in fury.
"What do you mean, destroyed by me?! Everything I did was for Konoha!!! (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ)"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Doesn't matter who it was for—now that you're dead, it's time to rest peacefully in the Netherworld!"
As he spoke, the Konoha ninja swiftly pulled out a Netherworld Seal scroll and—"Whoosh!!"—smacked it straight onto Danzo's face!
The Edo Tensei Danzo was sealed.
...
High above the battlefield, the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, looked astonished.
"I thought the shinobi of this era only relied on the achievements of those before them. I didn't expect there'd still be geniuses among you who could conceive of such a sealing technique."
Ōnoki smiled. "Sensei, as time moves on, the shinobi world keeps improving."
"Even if ninjutsu someday fades away, it'll just be replaced by something new."
"And of course, that's no longer something you need to worry about."
"Now then, allow your disciple to send you back… ∩_∩"
