The Third Hokage immediately recognized Orochimaru's use of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and shouted, "Stop him at once!"
Minato and Kushina, fully aware of the implications of the Impure World Reincarnation, rushed toward Orochimaru. As they moved, Minato hurled his special kunai.
"Sai!" Orochimaru commanded, knowing that even if Sai could only buy him a second, he is still a useful tool sent by Danzo.
Having been ordered by Danzo to follow Orochimaru's instructions, Sai immediately stepped forward, unrolling his scroll and swiftly moving his brush:
"Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitation Drawing!"
Ink beasts surged from the scroll, charging at Minato and Kushina.
However, Kushina, cloaked in red chakra, stepped forward and unleashed a flurry of attacks. Under her strikes, the ink beasts shattered into pools of ink. After losing his ink clone, Sai was knocked back, unconscious, as he hit the ground.
But the brief distraction had worked. Minato's Flying Thunder God kunai was now embedded in the coffin of the Fourth Kazekage.
The coffin lid creaked open, and Hashirama, Tobirama, and Rasa stepped out.
"What's happening?" Rasa asked, looking confused, his last memory being of Orochimaru assassinating him.
"Is that you, Saru?" Hashirama exclaimed with surprise, recognizing the Third Hokage. "I never expected you to live long enough to look like that!"
"Lord First, Lord Second!" The Third Hokage gazed at the two former Hokage, momentarily at a loss for words.
"It seems many years have passed. How is Konoha? Is everything alright?" Hashirama asked, glancing at Minato and Kushina's forehead protectors. "Ah, you must be from Konoha. That red hair and Nine-Tails chakra—are you from Mito's clan?"
Though the timing wasn't ideal, Minato politely introduced himself, "Lord First, Lord Second, I am the Fourth Hokage. This is my wife, Kushina, from the Uzumaki clan."
"The Fourth Hokage? You're quite young and accomplished!" Hashirama exclaimed. "I never imagined the Hokage title would be passed down to a fourth generation. Back when Madara and I founded Konoha—"
"Enough, brother! Pay attention to the situation!" Tobirama interrupted, cutting off his brother's rambling.
"Huh?" Hashirama blinked, looking confused. "What is going on?"
Tobirama crossed his arms and explained calmly, "This is my Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, a forbidden jutsu that summons the souls of the dead from the Pure Land back to the world of the living. Judging by your reactions, you're not the ones who summoned us, which means..."
Tobirama turned toward Orochimaru. "You must be the caster. It seems we've been brought here to fight Konoha."
"Such calm reasoning—truly the Second Hokage, the creator of countless jutsu." Orochimaru praised. Few shinobi in the world could earn his admiration, but Tobirama was undoubtedly one of them.
"I told you not to dabble in these forbidden techniques," Hashirama scolded his brother. "And now, even after death, you're causing trouble for the younger generation."
"Quiet, brother! It's only because you died too early!" Tobirama retorted, scolding his unreliable sibling. "You had to fight Madara one-on-one also drag me and sister-in-law along. Couldn't we have just defeated him together? In the end, both sides suffered, and I was left to clean up your mess."
"Sorry..." Hashirama muttered, lowering his head, defeated.
On the other side, Minato scratched his head awkwardly, unsure how to respond to the First Hokage's antics.
Even Orochimaru appeared amused, clearly not expecting the legendary God of Shinobi to have such a lighthearted personality.
Suddenly, a loud noise grabbed everyone's attention. Tsunade, standing outside the barrier, her forehead veins bulging in anger, slammed her fist into the roof, shaking the entire building.
She roared, "Orochimaru, you bastard! How dare you desecrate the dead!"
"Minato!" Jiraiya called out, seeing Tsunade's rage nearing a breaking point.
"Understood," Minato replied, using the Flying Thunder God to appear outside the barrier and pull both Tsunade and Jiraiya inside.
"Oh? The Flying Thunder God Jutsu?" Tobirama said with a hint of pride. "You seem to have mastered it better than I did."
Upon seeing Tsunade, Hashirama brightened up. "Ah, Tsunade! You've gotten so old! With that temper of yours, I imagine it's been difficult finding a boyfriend, right? And you're still—"
"Shut up!" Tsunade snapped, her face flushing with anger. "Stay in the Pure Land and stop bothering the living!"
"Sorry!" Hashirama quickly apologized again, his earlier majesty completely gone.
"Let's end this," Orochimaru said, driving kunai with talismans into the bodies of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Rasa.
The three began losing their consciousness, their expressions dulling. With their last words:
Hashirama: "Please stop us, Saru and Fourth Hokage!"
Tobirama: "Forgive us for the trouble, but I trust you can handle it."
Rasa: "Damn it, Orochimaru!"
Rasa was the unluckiest. Just as he understood the situation, he lost control again. His only thought was, "Why did Konoha's civil strife have to involve me and my village? Curse you, Orochimaru! Why did I ever trust you?"
Orochimaru, now fully in control, smiled wickedly. "Tsunade, if you assist me, I can show you others who have passed away."
Tsunade froze, immediately thinking of two people.
"Enough, Orochimaru, don't make this worse!" Jiraiya pleaded though he knew it was futile.
Orochimaru ignored him, continuing, "Tsunade, don't you want to see him? Or your brother, Nawaki?"
Tsunade hesitated, her voice softening. "Yes, I do want to see them, even if just for a moment."
"Tsunade," Jiraiya called gently, his voice full of concern.
"But not like this," Tsunade declared firmly. "This village holds their dreams and the people I care about." Her tone hardened. "I will never forgive you for desecrating the village and the dead!"
With those words, Tsunade remembered Dan Kato and Nawaki's smiling faces, along with the dreams they had fought for. She then glanced at the blond boy outside the barrier.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Boom! The roof exploded, leaving a massive hole as tiles and wood rained down.
Orochimaru leapt back, narrowly avoiding the blow, as he commanded the three reanimated Hokage to retreat.
Sai, still unconscious from Kushina's earlier attack, remained motionless in the corner.
Meanwhile, Hashirama clasped his hands together, preparing his next move:
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
