****************
In the Third Unit, Kakashi's heart sank as he saw the enemies before him, their faces marked with tiny cracks and their eyes pure black.
Furthermore, they were accompanied by white Zetsus in mass.
An unpleasant feeling gnawed at him.
However, the shinobi behind him were not as perceptive.
"Yusuke? Aren't you dead?"
One of the ninjas in that unit pointed at an old friend across from him in astonishment.
Yusuke looked at his hands in disbelief, "Am I?"
He then excitedly waved to the shinobi, "Takahiro, it's been a long time! How's my wife?"
Takahiro smiled awkwardly, "Yukari is doing well; she gave birth to a son for me."
"That's good, that's goo-" Yusuke nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized, "What! You married my wife?"
"I'm just taking care of her, all for your sake!"
The expressions of the other Edo Tensei soldiers changed as well, and they quickly sought out those they knew to inquire about their loved ones.
Some sighed in relief, while others were filled with despair.
"My Akari! Why did you betray me!"
"What are you shouting for? My wife ran off with someone else before I even died!"
The scene descended into chaos.
"Everyone, be alert! These are reanimated dead ninjas, controlled by the enemy. Don't get too close!" Kakashi shouted, but his words were drowned out.
The battlefield had become a bizarre reunion, with some finding their long-dead first love, others their father, and some even their own son.
"Kakashi, I didn't expect to see you again."
Zabuza, wielding his Executioner's Blade, appeared before Kakashi with a mischievous grin.
"This time, you won't have your comrades to help you!"
With that, he swung his massive blade.
The movement was a signal, and the Edo Tensei soldiers, who had been reminiscing, suddenly darkened their eyes and launched an attack on the shinobi alliance.
Kakashi swiftly dodged the slash, countering with a powerful kick that sent Zabuza flying.
Zabuza, landing a short distance away, snorted and pointed to the sky.
"Mist Shinobi Technique!"
A thick fog enveloped the area, and Zabuza vanished from sight.
"Although I don't fully understand the situation, I can finally fight at full strength," Kakashi muttered, his eyes sharpening as he quickly formed seals.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
Elsewhere.
"Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven!"
Neji's blue chakra barrier spun rapidly, sending dozens of White Zetsus flying.
His expression grew serious.
Although these White Zetsus' combat power was weak, often defeated by a single Chūnin or three Genins, their sheer numbers posed a serious threat to the shinobi alliance.
Moreover, these creatures were clearly mass-produced, making it a poor trade to fight them with human lives.
"These guys need to be dealt with quickly—there are more terrifying enemies waiting behind!"
Neji clenched his fists, glancing in Hinata's direction.
His mission was not only to kill the enemy but also to protect Hinata and honor Colt's kindness.
However, what he saw next made cold sweat run down his back.
"Legendary Heel Drop!"
A massive burst of chakra exploded from Hinata's limbs, shattering the ground with precise control.
Boom! Crack!
The earth split open like an earthquake, sending boulders flying and crushing countless White Zetsus.
Gulp!
Neji swallowed hard.
He realized he had underestimated her.
Why would someone like Hinata need protection?
On the contrary, he needed to keep his distance to avoid being accidentally injured.
Feeling someone's gaze, Hinata turned around and smiled politely at Neji.
Then, frowning, she looked at the never-ending horde of White Zetsus.
After a moment's thought, she bit her finger and formed a seal.
"Summoning Technique!"
As the smoke cleared, a mighty and agile figure appeared before her.
"Woof?"
The large, wise eyes of the Ninken regarded Hinata curiously, wondering why she had summoned him.
"Ichibi, if you help me kill these white monsters, I'll make sure Colt gives you unlimited food for three… no, seven days. Deal?"
"Woof?!" Is that for real?
"Don't worry, I'll tell Colt when we get back. If you perform well, we might even extend the time."
Hinata stroked his soft fur as she made the promise.
"Woof~!" It's a deal.
Ichibi's eyes turned fierce as he gazed at the sea of White Zetsus.
Sage Transformation!
The enormous sage chakra within him began to flow, and under Hinata's astonished eyes, Ichibi's body swelled dramatically.
Two additional heads sprouted on either side of his neck.
With a thunderous roar, the three heads unleashed the elemental jutsus of oil, wind, and fire.
The scalding oil surged like molten lava toward the White Zetsu army, melting them before they had a chance to retaliate.
Seeing this, the remaining members of the shinobi alliance regained their morale and launched their own attacks.
Ichibi charged forward, each swipe of his claws taking down a White Zetsu.
Hinata watched in awe, her mouth agape.
She had heard from Kiba and the others that Ichibi was strong, but this display far exceeded her expectations.
However, there was one thing her comrades never mentioned…
That all of Ichibi's dog food was provided by Kiba at no cost.
"Neji… is this how you've grown?"
Neji, about to join the battle, turned his head in disbelief at the familiar voice.
"Father?"
The figure before him was Hyuga Hizashi, with an army of Edo Tensei soldiers behind him.
A wry smile crossed Hizashi's face.
"I'm sorry you have to see me like this, but I'm also happy to see how far you've come."
Tears welled up in Neji's eyes, but he still firmly assumed a Gentle Fist stance.
"Father, I won't hold back, because I have to watch over Hinata-sama!"
He knew she was stronger, but in the case of any complication, he could react and perhaps take a blow for her…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, the two figures clashed, exchanging blows with the Gentle Fist technique.
"Very good, Neji. As a branch house member, we must protect the main family with all our might."
Even as they fought, Hizashi continued speaking, relieved to see that his son didn't resent the main family for his fate.
"No, Father. I'm not fighting to protect the so-called main family."
Neji deflected Hizashi's strike and intentionally let his ninja forehead protector fall, revealing his unmarked forehead.
Under Hizashi's shocked gaze, Neji spoke firmly.
"Father, this time, I'm fighting to protect what I believe in!"

****************
"Neji, what's going on?" The reanimated Hyuga Hizashi couldn't hide his astonishment, staring at his son's forehead in surprise and joy.
"Eight Trigrams Air Palm!"
Neij didn't miss that chance.
The powerful palm wind shattered Hizashi's body, and as he began to regenerate, Neji explained everything that had transpired.
"Hahahaha!" Hizashi stood still, not continuing his attack.
The deep resentment he had harbored towards the main branch of the Hyuga family dissipated at that moment, replaced by endless gratitude to the person named Colt.
Hizashi had accepted his fate as a branch member, but his one regret was that his son was also bound to a predestined fate.
Now, hearing such good news, Hizashi broke free from the control of the [Impure World Reincarnation] by sheer willpower.
His body gradually transformed into light.
"Neji, thank your friend for me, and survive this war." With a final glance at Neji, Hizashi returned to the Pure Land, a smile on his face.
Neji, tears streaming down his face, nodded solemnly as his father disappeared.
As time passed, the war that engulfed the entire ninja world entered a critical phase.
With their immunity to death, the reanimated army posed a great threat to the ninja alliance. Even when powerful ninjutsu managed to destroy the enemy, they would eventually regenerate.
In the ninja world, those skilled in the sealing techniques were few. It often took five or six ninja teams to find someone proficient in sealing, and those were typically elite squads, not the general rank-and-file shinobi.
The army of 100,000 White Zetsu was also a formidable force.
Most of the Ninja Alliance consisted of Genins and chunnins. The 80,000-strong ninja alliance quickly began to lose numbers as the battle progressed.
Fortunately, under Shikaku's command, the headquarters dispatched Mifune and the three divisions to provide support, gradually regaining control.
As the sun set and the bright moon hung high in the starry sky, a hidden cave became the scene of a secret meeting.
A dim glow lit the cavern as stalactites dripped into a pond with a rhythmic ticking.
Yakushi Kabuto frowned, studying the chessboard in front of him. As time passed, the white pieces on the board disappeared one by one.
After a while, he swept all the white pieces off the board.
Simultaneously, the reanimated army outside withdrew from their battles and vanished into coffins that suddenly appeared behind them.
Kabuto stood up and walked through a narrow tunnel into the depths of the mountain.
The area had been hollowed out, creating a vast, empty space where Orochimaru silently observed the part he obtained of Gedo Statue.
At that moment, the Gedo Statue's was sucking chakra from a figure suspended in the air.
"Orochimaru-sama, the army has withdrawn for now, but they will resume action tonight," Kabuto reported.
"However, the ninja alliance has learned how to deal with the [Impure World Reincarnation]. Tomorrow's situation may not be as favorable."
Orochimaru remained focused on the Gedo Statue, not responding immediately.
After a long pause, he turned to Kabuto with a smile.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Tomorrow, let your prized reanimations go out to meet the old friends and newcomers. After all, what appeared today was just cannon fodder."
Control of the reanimated army had mostly been handed over to Kabuto by Orochimaru, who kept only a few treasures worthy of his collection.
Kabuto smiled slightly.
"I must thank you for the Hashirama cells you implanted into me; otherwise, I wouldn't have the ability to control these legendary powerhouses."
"Since you agree, tomorrow I can also let loose and enjoy a big fight."
Orochimaru nodded slightly.
"I hope the ninja alliance can surprise me; otherwise, it will be too boring."
**********
With the Medical Troops.
As the reanimated army retreated, the ninja alliance was momentarily confused, but they quickly seized the opportunity to regroup.
The support troops swiftly gathered the wounded, transporting them to the medical base at the rear of the battlefield in batches.
Colt led a group of medical ninjas at the main camp, waiting for the injured to arrive.
With nearly 10,000 injured, many wore solemn expressions.
Even with all the medical ninjas in the ninja world assembled, it wasn't enough to treat so many wounded.
It was clear that many ninjas would suffer or even die because they wouldn't receive timely treatment. And these were just the most severely injured—those with minor injuries remained on the front lines.
However, the medical ninjas from Konoha seemed slightly more at ease.
"[Summoning Technique]!"
Colt formed seals with both hands, and a Katsuyu the size of dozens of meters appeared in the open space before him.
"Katsuyu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Leave it to me, Colt-sama."
A gentle female voice responded as Katsuyu's body split into countless smaller ones, which then climbed onto the bodies of the injured.
Colt clasped his hands together, continuously supplying chakra.
A glowing green light emanated from Katsuyu's clones, healing the wounds of the injured.
Colt's actions left the medical ninjas from the other villages stunned.
"Such powerful medical ninjutsu… he can treat so many people at once."
"I think Colt-san's chakra is terrifying. Even if we had such a powerful Summoning beast, we wouldn't have enough chakra to sustain them, would we?"
The Konoha medical ninjas looked on with disdain.
"This is nothing. When Colt-sama really gets to work, you'll see the difference."
At that moment, Colt made another move.
"[Wood Style: Wood Clone Technique.]"
Five [Wood Clones] emerged from behind him, each forming seals in unison.
"[Wood Style: Tree Bind Eternal Burial!]"
A multitude of vines erupted from the ground, binding hundreds of ninjas tightly before rapidly growing into towering trees.
This sudden change shocked many, leaving them confused as to what Colt was doing.
Then they saw that the bound ninjas were slowly transforming, revealing their true forms as White Zetsus with sinister smiles.
"What is going on?"
The ninjas who had escorted them back were startled, unable to comprehend how their comrades had suddenly become White Zetsus.
Colt spoke calmly.
"White Zetsus can transform into any ninja's appearance, even the [Byakugan] or sensory ninjutsu cannot detect them."
"I was able to distinguish them by sensing the malice they emanated."
"Be careful from now on. Even your comrades might not be who you think they are."
