"What am I doing...?"
Kimimaro looked down at his own body.
I remembered what Kabuto Yakushi had said when I was struggling to stay alive.
Let him live on in this world in another way.
[Though I can no longer serve as Orochimaru's vessel.]
However, he was able to continue serving Orochimaru.
Therefore, Kimimaro chose death.
[Thus, Kabuto Yakushi was able to resurrect him using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.]
["Hehe~"]
"Chiyo of Sunagakure."
"You're still alive?"
A deep voice sounded.
The White Zetsu army watched the Sand Village members with predatory eyes.
This is the border of the Land of Wind.
However, now...
The Kingdom of Wind exists in name only.
Especially after the Allied Shinobi Forces appeared.
[And they were able to rightfully drive them out.]
The Sand Village of the future will not need those gluttonous, privileged elites.
["Hehehe~" Granny Chiyo was in a good mood.]
[It seems to be because he saw his grandson.]
Or perhaps, she's figured something out.
This stubborn old lady has become much kinder.
Kankuro stood respectfully to the side.
[Even though it's still just scavenging.]
But now he's a poor kid with a master.
"Even if you die again, I won't die."
Granny Chiyo looked at the man with a gas mask and a very noticeable scar on his face standing in front of the White Zetsu army.
[Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod.]
"Alright."
"Anyway, there are no Amegakure members here."
"There are two more kids hiding in the shadows."
"Is it someone from Akatsuki?"
"A kid with Explosion Release, and a kid with Puppet Technique... it doesn't matter, they're all my enemies anyway."
"The Five Great Nations and Akatsuki are both."
"In that case, even if I can't refuse to do it now, it's a good thing."
"This technique has taken control of my body."
"But what I'm doing is what I want to do."
"Anyway, I'm already a dead man."
[Hanzo the Salamander wanted to continue.]
Kankuro interrupted him directly.
"You've been dead for too long; you have no idea what changes have occurred in the ninja world."
"What has become of Amegakure now?"
[Upon hearing this.]
[Hanzo the Salamander squinted slightly.]
"What changed?!"
"What did that Nagato kid do?!"
["nothing."]
"It's no use knowing, I don't want to talk about it anymore."
[Hanzo the Salamander: "..."]
["Hehe~"]
"Your disciple, right?"
"Just like you, you're just as annoying."
"Thank you for the compliment," Granny Chiyo replied with a smile, unconcerned.
[Hanzo the Salamander: "..."]
It's really frustrating when someone only says half of what they mean.
Even if I die, it's the same.
At this time.
Kankuro raised his hand.
The Sand Village members behind him immediately looked at him.
"Let's retreat a bit first."
"Block other directions."
"Those who cross the line."
"Kill without mercy!"
["yes--!!!"]
The Sand Village members erupted in a deafening roar.
[Bang bang bang—!!!]
[at the same time. ]
Granny Chiyo smiled and unsealed the storage scroll.
Raise your hand.
Chakra threads shot out from his ten fingers.
[Bang--]
The first thing to appear are the puppets of his father and mother that he made when he was young.
"I wonder if that guy hiding in the shadows using the Impure World Reincarnation technique has collected their cells."
"If you have one, you can send it over using the Impure World Reincarnation technique right now."
Grandma Chiyo blinked.
Kabuto Yakushi, observing the battlefield through his reanimated body, adjusted his glasses.
["some."]
[Buzz—]
[Hanzo the Salamander involuntarily opened his mouth.]
"When is it needed?"
"Cash on delivery is supported."
"What you need to pay... is your life, Chiyo Sunagakure."
Grandma Chiyo chuckled upon hearing this.
["OK."]
"Come and take it if you dare!"
"I don't have many years left to live~"
"But before I died... I was able to see my child... to let that child see his parents again, so I could die without regrets."
Beneath the Kannabi Bridge, Yakushi Kabuto shook his head.
"Please wait a moment."
After saying that, Hanzo the Salamander shut his mouth.
After a long pause, Hanzo the Salamander said with a displeased expression, "What a despicable caster!"
Then, looking at the ten white-clad puppets in front of Granny Chiyo.
["oh?"]
"They used the Chikamatsu Ten Ninja right from the start?"
Having said that,
[Hanzo the Salamander only belatedly noticed.]
The headbands worn by the Sand Village members before him were not the ones he was familiar with.
[The rear area.]
"Tactical contact has arrived from headquarters. Immediately contact Captain Huang Tu!"
[Soon, the messenger ninja located Captain Huang Tu of the vanguard of the main force.]
"Captain Loess!"
"A message has arrived from headquarters!"
"It's a combat order!"
The loess soil squinted its eyes.
"Understood, tell me quickly!"
He had a premonition that this change might be the last time headquarters would send a message.
"The White Zetsu army has arrived at the border of the Land of Wind!"
"The Sand Village Clan is already blocking our way!"
"The headquarters commander has also arrived in the Land of Whirlpools!"
"Expected tomorrow."
"The Three Kage will soon arrive in the Land of Fire!"
"War has broken out on the main battlefield."
"This is the last time that tactical instructions will be jointly conveyed by the three Shadows!"
[The loess soil takes a deep breath.]
Just as he expected.
[...]
[at the same time. ]
On the other side.
[Above Amegakure Village.]
Between the Land of Stones and the Land of Grass.
"A Bloodline Limit Ninja?"
"This is a bit tricky."
Temari glanced at the Sand Village members behind her.
[Then he looked at the communications ninja beside him and said:]
"Send some Konoha reinforcements."
"I have a feeling that there are likely quite a few powerful resurrected beings here."
"Our unit can't handle this."
"Bring on the nearest army of 'Jinchūriki'!"
"Yes!" The communications ninja paused, but didn't say anything rash. After listening carefully, he immediately obeyed the order.
[Looking at the similar terrain between the Land of Stone and the Hidden Sand Village.]
Temari's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She is still the Kazekage's older sister.
[We can't just wait in Konoha.]
[The original plan was simply to engage a branch force of Iwagakure; we have enough manpower here.]
"Temari-sama, is it really that serious?"
"They actually sent the king's personal troops to provide support..."
["Fool!"]
Temari glared at the two little girls who had asked the questions, clearly annoyed.
"Many powerful Edo Tensei (reincarnated) warriors have already appeared in the Frost Country."
"Kankuro's place is the same."
"We might have it here too."
"We'll suffer heavy losses if we go it alone!"
After speaking, Temari immediately took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Regardless, I brought these two little girls along myself.
[be patient. ]
"In short, just be careful."
"Naruto's personal guards are elite ANBU ninjas from the former Konoha. They possess both tailed beast chakra and Naruto's own chakra, and each of them is stronger than an ordinary Jonin."
"They were originally responsible for providing support on multiple fronts and at multiple points in this war."
[As she spoke, Temari suddenly paused.]
He shook his head helplessly.
"Are you planning to break through our relatively weak defenses?"
"Bad luck..."
"However, everyone has it!"
The Sand Village members immediately perked up.
"Prepare for battle!"
"The enemy... is very strong!"
After speaking, Temari looked into the distance.
The White Zetsu army has already emerged.
[And also, those four coffins.]
"Tch, is it too late?"
Temari's expression was solemn.
Just then.
[A communications ninja rushed over.]
What are you going to report?
Temari turned around and saw six figures pushing someone slowly towards them.
[Whoosh—]
[A trident-shaped kunai appears.]
"Am I late?"
[It's not the entrance to your home; it's just a convenient entrance when searching for the wasteland.]
