Chapter 262: Chapter 262

"Everyone, this is our last chance. If we drive out Pakura and her group, Sunagakure will still be ours. Our predecessors built Sunagakure to where it is today and entrusted it to us. Therefore, I swear by my title as the Fourth Kazekage that I will never let Sunagakure fall into the hands of outsiders!"

Rasa declared resolutely to the assembled group. Those who had gathered here were Sunagakure's most trusted individuals—the last hope for protecting the village.

"The Daimyo's office has also promised that if we defend Sunagakure, the military budget will be quadrupled to help rebuild the village. With that money, even if we pay a high price tonight, as long as we protect Sunagakure, we can recover."

This was the promise given by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. Even the most foolish Daimyo knew that Sunagakure could not be allowed to fall.

The emissary they had sent to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire had been turned away without ever meeting anyone. When the Daimyo of the Land of Wind heard the news, it sent a chill down his spine.

Without a shinobi village, the Land of Wind would have no military strength. The few guards left at the Daimyo's estate wouldn't stand a chance against a single wave of shinobi from Konoha.

The Land of Fire was clearly aiming to wipe out the Land of Wind. Realizing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind abandoned any thoughts of indulging himself. Along with promising Sunagakure support, he sent emissaries to seek help from the Lands of Earth, Water, and Lightning.

But first, Sunagakure needed to hold out. It couldn't fall in a short period.

"According to Elder Chiyo's plan, once we drive out Pakura and her group and fully secure the eastern exit, we'll act like we're prepared for a desperate last stand. Konoha might not push for a battle to the death. The future of Sunagakure depends on tonight."

Rasa's words stirred the resolve in the room. All were ready to fight to the death.

For this night, they had distributed all their explosive tags, kunai, and shuriken. Even Chiyo had given all her poisons to the puppet users.

Sunagakure's reconnaissance ninja had already detected the presence of Konoha ninja. Both the First and Second Hokage were supposedly at their camp outside the village, and Pakura's forces often left the village.

"Move out!"

With that order, the Sunagakure shinobi quickly dispersed to begin their operation.

Tonight was a moonless and windy night. Inside Sunagakure, aside from a few streetlights, the village was nearly pitch black. The village's infrastructure was poor, with only a few high-voltage lights and street lamps scattered around.

The lack of lighting made the night patrols a true test of the shinobi's vision.

Groups of Sunagakure ninja gathered quickly, though they dared not approach too closely, fearing the Byakugan of the Konoha shinobi. Rasa was also concerned about harming the civilians, so they chose to strike in areas they knew were vacant.

Though they wanted to drive out Pakura's group and the Konoha ninja, Rasa wasn't willing to harm their own villagers. If he did, his own shinobi might rebel against him.

After stealthily reaching their planned positions, Rasa spotted several shinobi from Pakura's group patrolling the area.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Burial!"

Rasa gathered his chakra, clasped his hands together, and unleashed his signature Magnet Release technique.

A vast wave of gold dust surged from the ground like a tidal wave, sweeping forward. In that area, the only people present were either Pakura's ninja or the civilians loyal to them.

Rasa wouldn't harm his own people, but he had no such reservations against those who had betrayed Sunagakure.

Boom!

Boom!

The gold dust swept away everything in its path. Even solid brick buildings crumbled within seconds under the overwhelming force of the gold dust. The wave of gold quickly turned that section of the village into a battlefield.

But suddenly, a voice rang out, startling Rasa.

"Mokuton: Mokujoheki!"

"Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three massive wooden walls rose from the ground, halting the oncoming wave of gold dust. Then, the ground rumbled as enormous tree trunks and branches sprouted from the earth, engulfing the gold dust wave.

Ordinarily, two users of the same Kekkei Genkai would cancel each other out, leaving the battle to come down to chakra reserves. However, Senju Hashirama's Mokuton was a step above the rest. Even with an equal amount of chakra, his Mokuton could overwhelm other bloodline techniques.

As the forest expanded toward him, Rasa had no choice but to use more ninjutsu. The Sunagakure ninja following him also unleashed their strongest techniques in an attempt to destroy the trees.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Blades!"

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"

"Black Puppet: Crimson Flame!"

In addition to various ninjutsu and secret techniques, countless kunai with explosive tags were thrown, constantly blowing apart the oncoming trees. But for every tree destroyed, five or six more would sprout in its place.

"Damn it! There's no end to them!"

"Help! Somebody, help!"

"Ahh!!"

Hundreds of Sunagakure shinobi were unleashing their techniques, along with thousands of explosive tags, causing thunderous explosions that rocked the village and woke its residents. Many civilians were filled with fear, terrified that a battle had broken out within the village.

Only this overwhelming barrage of attacks barely managed to slow down the forest's advance. However, dozens of Sunagakure shinobi had already been swallowed by the trees before they could escape.

Rasa, in shock, muttered, "The First Hokage... How is this possible? Our scouting hawks confirmed you were outside the village."

At that moment, two figures jumped onto a nearby tree, one of whom was Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage, the sight of whom filled Rasa with dread. The other was none other than Pakura, whom Rasa loathed with all his heart.

"Rasa, you're truly foolish for rushing into this trap. The Second Hokage set this up just for you, and you fell right into it," Pakura said smugly. The more despair she saw on Rasa's face, the happier she became. Seeing his incompetence only confirmed to her that her decision to turn against him had been the right one. If she had accepted his leadership, his stupidity would have led to her downfall eventually.

"Pakura, it was Sunagakure that raised you, and now—"

"Shut up, you fool! If you hadn't sold me out to Kirigakure, I would still be 'Sunagakure's Scorch Release user.' Now, what choice do you have left but to surrender?"

Pakura's words rang out as a large number of Konoha and Sunagakure ninja emerged from the surrounding forest. Hashirama's Jukai Kōtan had transformed the area into the perfect battlefield for the Konoha forces.

Many ninja were now positioned behind the enormous trees, waiting for the signal to launch their attack on the Sunagakure forces.

"Give up, Fourth Kazekage. Continuing this fight will only result in meaningless sacrifice," Hashirama urged. He did not want to fight within the village. Whether it was his Wood Human Technique or Sage Art: Mokuton, the destruction they could cause was too great. If he lost control, the entire village could be leveled.

He remembered how, during his battle with Uchiha Madara, they had altered the landscape and even destroyed an island across the sea.

"There is no fear in Sunagakure!"

Rasa, resolute, flatly refused to surrender. He would never allow himself to become Konoha's prisoner.

"No choice then. Mokuton: Wood Clone Technique!"

Hashirama clapped his hands, and ten wood clones split from his body. If Rasa refused to surrender, he would have to fight carefully to avoid harming the civilians.

Seeing this, Pakura asked, "First Hokage, what are you doing?"

"I'm setting up a barrier. The aftermath of these jutsu could cause too much harm to the civilians," Hashirama replied with a smile. "Don't worry about my chakra."

As long as he didn't use his two most powerful Sage Art: Mokuton techniques, his chakra reserves could sustain an intense battle for a long time. As for these Sunagakure shinobi, Hashirama wasn't underestimating them, but they were no match for the shinobi of his time.

Back in the Warring States Period, even a five or six-year-old child couldn't be taken lightly.

Pakura, seeing Hashirama's actions, turned her attention back to Rasa. She wanted to take this rare opportunity to end things with him once and for all.

Sage Curse Seal.

A vast amount of natural energy surged into Pakura's body through her curse seal. Her skin turned pale, and a single horn grew from her forehead as her body filled with powerful Sage Art Chakra.

"Sage Mode? Is it from Ryūchi Cave?" Hashirama, sensing the change in Pakura, thought to himself. There were only three sources of sage arts, and Pakura's sage mode had a strong serpentine aura.

"Scorch Release: Extreme Sun!"

After entering Sage Mode, Pakura quickly formed a series of hand seals and raised her right hand. Scorch Release fireballs began appearing around her, which then flew toward her raised hand and merged into a larger fireball.

Within seconds, countless smaller fireballs formed and fused into a larger one, creating a miniature sun in the night sky.

Even Hashirama was surprised. This technique had traits similar to a tailed beast bomb. It wasn't just merging the Scorch Release fireballs; it was compressing them into their current form.

"Die, Rasa!"

Pakura hurled the massive fireball toward Rasa, confident that he would block it. After all, behind him were many Sunagakure shinobi who couldn't withstand this technique.

Seeing this, Hashirama clasped his hands together and quickly raised a Mokujoheki in front of his allied Konoha and Sunagakure ninja while shouting, "Be careful!"

Rasa had no choice. He gathered a massive amount of chakra and raised three Gold Dust Shields, one in front of himself and two more to protect the other Sunagakure shinobi.

Boom!

A brilliant flash of light appeared, followed by an ear-splitting explosion. The deafening roar reverberated like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of everyone in Sunagakure.

Elsewhere, battles momentarily paused as the sound echoed across the village.

Both sides turned their eyes toward the source of the explosion, where towering flames lit up the sky. Chiyo and Ebizō felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"My brother is over there. If he gets angry, even I'm scared of what he might do. You'd better not get your hopes up," Tobirama said with a cold smile as he brandished a kunai. "Besides, I don't think your situation is much better than theirs!"

Chapter 263: Chapter 263

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a tragedy. Black Zetsu, why do you think Sunagakure decided to launch an attack?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was out of overconfidence."

Black Zetsu watched the battle unfold in Sunagakure, where the fighting was heavily one-sided. Konoha had deployed fewer than two thousand shinobi, and combined with the thousand or so Sunagakure shinobi, there were less than three thousand participants in total.

"It seems like Hashirama's strength has almost fully returned. I wonder if he can still use Sage Mode. Madara-sama would be thrilled to know this."

"This is becoming a problem. How exactly did Hashirama revive? Aside from the Rinne Tensei, there shouldn't be any other resurrection techniques in the shinobi world."

This question troubled Black Zetsu, especially since the revival of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails had been delayed for too long. If they could be revived sooner, there might still be a chance for Madara to gather the Ten-Tails.

The longer it dragged on, the stronger Konoha would become. Black Zetsu no longer dared to send White Zetsu clones into Konoha to gather information, especially after learning that the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki had gained control over the tailed beast's power. The golden chakra mode now allowed him to sense malice, much like Uzumaki Mito had in the past.

There was one instance where Black Zetsu thought it would be captured while outside Konoha, but fortunately, Fugaku and Tobi created enough of a distraction for it to escape.

"It looks like the war is about to end. Hashirama is too strong. Pakura's Scorch Release alone has left the Fourth Kazekage struggling. Look, Rasa is about to die!"

"There's nothing more to see. Let's report back to Madara-sama. We've learned enough about Hashirama's situation."

After saying this, Black Zetsu urged White Zetsu to leave immediately.

Though they hadn't witnessed Hashirama using Sage Mode, the fact that he had created several wood clones during the battle and set up two barriers to protect Sunagakure's civilians suggested that he was still the same Hashirama in both strength and character.

Konoha's power was not to be underestimated.

After Black Zetsu left, the war in Sunagakure reached its conclusion.

In this small village, with four to five thousand shinobi fighting, the battle was fierce, but Konoha, having anticipated the attack, ultimately claimed victory.

When it came to reconnaissance, Konoha had the upper hand due to its many clans specializing in secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai. The Hyūga, Inuzuka, Aburame, and Yamanaka clans were all skilled in reconnaissance, so Tobirama had known about Sunagakure's movements well in advance.

This allowed him to set up the trap for tonight's ambush.

As dawn broke, the battle came to a close. Most of Sunagakure's leadership had been killed. Ebizō died trying to save Chiyo, cut down by Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Slash.

Though devastated by her brother's death, Chiyo managed to organize a group of Sunagakure shinobi and retreat from the village.

Rasa, meanwhile, couldn't escape Pakura's pursuit. Since their last encounter, Pakura's strength had grown thanks to the enhancements from the Sage Curse Seal, while Rasa's abilities had stagnated.

This led to Rasa's crushing defeat at Pakura's hands.

However, Pakura wasn't in great shape either. She had exhausted nearly all her chakra and could no longer maintain her Sage Curse Seal after defeating Rasa.

Approaching the immobilized Rasa, Pakura formed a Scorch Release fireball in her hand and asked, "Rasa, any last words?"

"It... has nothing to do with Temari and the others..."

"Do you think I'm like you?!"

Boom!

The fireball fell, and Rasa was instantly reduced to a dried corpse. From a distance, Hashirama, who had been managing the barrier, remembered Tobirama's warning but realized he had forgotten in the heat of the moment.

With Rasa dead and Chiyo fleeing with a handful of loyalists, the other high-ranking Sunagakure shinobi were either dead or had surrendered. Without a leader, and with Pakura's forces loudly calling for them to surrender during the attack, the battle finally ended just before dawn.

Thanks to Hashirama's barrier, nearly all of the civilians were protected.

The barrier also played a role in the surrender of Sunagakure. If they wanted to retreat, they had no choice but to flee sideways, as the barrier completely blocked their rear exit. Outside the village, over two thousand Konoha shinobi lay in wait.

With Sunagakure's resistance crushed, the next step was to organize and manage the surrendered shinobi, fully occupying the village.

Once Sunagakure was dealt with, it would be time to address the Land of Wind itself. According to Yoichi's plans, the Land of Wind would not be handed over to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Although the Land of Wind was largely desert, its underground resources were abundant.

The Land of Wind, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Rain were the first steps in Konoha's integration of military and government.

...

Kumogakure, Hero Memorial Garden.

This was the place where Kumogakure honored their fallen shinobi—the village's cemetery.

Suddenly, the space distorted, and a figure appeared in the Hero Memorial Garden of Kumogakure.

It was Yoichi's Kamui clone, who had infiltrated Kumogakure to gather information about the previous Two-Tails Jinchūriki, and now stood in the cemetery.

"Aside from the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, I should be able to revive the Second and First Raikage as well, assuming their bodies are well-preserved."

If the bodies had completely decomposed, it would be impossible to use them for the Edo Tensei. The reason Tobirama and Hashirama could be revived was due to the excellent preservation of their bodies.

After returning to Konoha, Tobirama had even ensured that his own body was preserved in a special way.

"Found it—Timuyi, the previous Two-Tails Jinchūriki. This is the one."

The Kamui clone found the grave marker for Timuyi, the former Two-Tails Jinchūriki, and used Inorganic Reincarnation to lift the coffin from the ground. Upon opening it, the stench of decay filled the air, revealing the rotten corpse inside.

"Tch, this is a nasty job... but at least the body is still usable."

Shaking his head, the clone cut off a small piece of flesh and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, the clone noticed two nameless gravestones behind Timuyi's. After looking around the other grave markers, he found one for Blue B, the previous Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.

"Could those be the graves of Kinkaku and Ginkaku? Since they used the Nine-Tails' chakra, maybe they were buried here as Jinchūriki as well?"

Rather than speculate, the Kamui clone decided to check for himself. Using Inorganic Reincarnation once more, he lifted three coffins from the ground, including Blue B's.

When he opened the coffins, the sight of two horned figures confirmed his guess. Their appearance was clearly not human.

"Not bad, even got my hands on some Nine-Tails Jinchūriki for the Edo Tensei."

After taking samples of flesh from each, the clone carefully returned the coffins and graves to their original state. He planned to gather more strong candidates for Edo Tensei and use them to build infrastructure for the Land of Fire.

However, just as the clone was selecting more materials, several shuriken flew toward him, accompanied by a shout: "Who goes there!?"

The shuriken passed through the clone as though they had struck air, embedding themselves in the gravestones behind him.

Several Kumogakure shinobi appeared and surrounded the clone. One of them fired a signal flare into the sky.

The clone, slightly annoyed, muttered, "You noticed me this quickly? I didn't even make much noise."

One of the shinobi, recognizing the clone's appearance, pointed in fear, stammering, "It's... it's Konoha's Thunder Fang!"

Though the clone's appearance wasn't an exact match for Yoichi's, it was close enough that only small differences in height and facial features would distinguish them.

"No, no, that can't be right. This is a kid, way too young!"

Another shinobi, a jōnin, noticed the clone's age and breathed a sigh of relief, though he remained wary. "Even if he's not Thunder Fang, he's got the Mangekyō Sharingan! Stay alert and wait for reinforcements!"

"You can wait for your reinforcements all you like."

The clone spoke calmly before vanishing into the Kamui dimension. His mission was complete, and there was no need to waste time with the Kumogakure shinobi.

After all, the clone only had the chakra reserves of a Kage-level shinobi and wasn't as invincible as the original.

Upon returning, Yoichi planned to use Edo Tensei to revive the previous Two-Tails Jinchūriki, as well as Kinkaku and Ginkaku. With their Nine-Tails and Two-Tails chakra in the Edo Tensei bodies, Yoichi could simply flaunt them in front of Uchiha Madara.

Madara would likely rush to complete the Ten-Tails' revival and become its Jinchūriki, before attempting to reclaim the Nine-Tails and Two-Tails from Konoha. But by then, it might no longer be Madara he was dealing with.

Before, Yoichi had taken Uchiha Madara's Ten-Tails Jinchūriki form seriously, but with the Potara earrings, even the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki couldn't intimidate him anymore.

The Potara earrings had given Yoichi a power boost equivalent to consuming the entire Nine-Tails.

What's more, Yoichi had noticed that his body was undergoing changes, seemingly related to his genetic energy and the Godzilla power within him.

Godzilla would be key to breaking through to the planetary level in his genetic energy.

...

Konoha Village.

The space distorted as Yoichi arrived in Konoha, using his Kamui clone to transport him. This time, he was here to borrow some Nine-Tails chakra from Kushina, as well as check in on the village's stunning widow.

As Hokage, Yoichi made it a point to stay connected with the people, even making time for more "personal" matters amidst his busy schedule.

However, Kushina wasn't home at the moment, though Yoichi could sense that she would be back soon.

"She should've finished the vitamins I gave her last time... Wait, why is there an extra bottle?"

Opening the bedside drawer, Yoichi noticed two bottles of pills. Had Kushina noticed?

"That doesn't seem right... This looks like... Oh, taking too much of this isn't good for the body. Better replace it with vitamins."

After swapping out the bottles, Yoichi heard the sound of the door opening downstairs.

It seemed the Uzumaki mother and son had been frequenting his house lately. They had probably just returned from lunch, ready to rest for a while.
