Chapter 474: The Ten-Tails Begins to Divide

The tide of the battle had turned, which was only natural.

Itachi felt fortunate that they had brought Orochimaru along.

Otherwise... the current situation would have been disastrous.

Fortunately, this guy named Kabuto Yakushi had transplanted Orochimaru's cells.

Essentially, the chakra used for the Impure World Reincarnation was mostly Orochimaru's chakra.

This made it easier to control the reincarnated ninjas.

After all, with Kabuto's talent, mastering a technique like the Impure World Reincarnation in a short time wasn't that easy.

Not everyone is Uchiha Sasuke!

Talent is equally important; otherwise, Orochimaru's years of research on the Impure World Reincarnation would have been too lackluster.

If just anyone could easily master it.

In reality, it still required Orochimaru's cells and his chakra.

This allowed Orochimaru to take over Kabuto's role as the caster.

"So, Mr. Itachi, are you going to the battlefield now?"

Hearing this, Itachi paused, "Don't you need to control these reincarnated ninjas?"

Orochimaru shook his head helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to control them, but I can't!"

"I can only barely maintain their reincarnated state. Although I've taken over Kabuto's role as the caster!"

"But this guy has reincarnated too many ninjas. With his sage chakra, he could easily control them!"

"But I..."

Orochimaru did not have sage chakra.

It was difficult to control so many reincarnated ninjas.

He could release them, but Itachi hoped these ninjas would become allies.

So naturally, releasing them was not an option.

"If they're not controlled... then wouldn't that mean..."

Some of the reincarnated ninjas might still become enemies or even flee wildly.

"The reincarnated Hokages, their combat power is quite rare!"

Hearing this, Itachi nodded.

Indeed, with the help of the past Hokages of the Leaf, it would be a great advantage for the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"By the way! I can't sense the chakra of the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage, the Second Tsuchikage, and the Second Mizukage!"

"It seems someone else reincarnated them!"

Someone else?

"Who else can perform the Impure World Reincarnation?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled, "Your brother, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Sasuke can also perform the Impure World Reincarnation?

"However... it's unlikely that it's Sasuke's technique."

Itachi nodded, indeed, if it were Sasuke's technique, it wouldn't be like this.

Then who could it be!

On the battlefield.

The reincarnated ninjas who had regained their freedom now faced each other, unsure of what to do.

At this moment.

The voice of the reincarnated Hashirama rang out.

"So, the ninjas who have already passed away... you have regained your freedom. It seems there are powerful individuals among our descendants who have lifted our restraints!"

"Now that we are free, perhaps we should make amends for the trouble we've caused earlier!"

"Even in death, we can still contribute to our villages!"

Many of the reincarnated ninjas had already turned around, facing the White Zetsu Army.

Seeing this, Madara's expression turned extremely grim.

Not only did they suddenly switch sides, but they also incited other ninjas. Madara wouldn't let Hashirama have his way.

"All reincarnated ninjas, listen!"

"Hashirama is just using you. Once the war is over, you will return to the pure land!"

"But if you choose to help us now, I, Uchiha Madara, promise to help you revive."

"At the very least, I can let you exist in this world forever in your current state!"

"How about it!"

Existing in the world in their current state.

This was... hard to ignore.

Their reincarnated bodies were practically immortal!

Kinkaku and Ginkaku, "Hahaha! Existing in this world forever in this state? Good! If you can really do that, then we'll help you!"

"Kinkaku, Ginkaku, you two bastards!"

The ninjas from the Cloud Village looked at the two with anger.

If before, they were controlled and had no choice, now it was their own decision!

These guys, even in death, still chose to cause trouble.

How despicable!

Hashirama looked at the divided reincarnated ninjas.

He sighed silently in his heart: 'As expected of you, Madara.'

With such simplicity, he had taken away a large portion of the reincarnated ninjas.

Everyone has selfish desires; how many can truly see through them?

These guys were allured by the temptation of immortality.

This can't go on!

But overall, the situation was still quite favorable.

"Hahaha!"

"Now I finally have the chance to fight you..."

Seeing this situation, Madara seemed quite excited.

However, Obito's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Madara went to fight Hashirama, Obito wanted to stop him, but the reincarnated Hashirama was also a tough opponent.

If Madara could hold him off, that would be good.

But the problem was that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated.

Although the Three-Tails wasn't completely absorbed, a portion of its chakra had been obtained. Similarly, although the Nine-Tails wasn't fully absorbed, the Ten-Tails already possessed its chakra.

Becoming the Ten-Tails was entirely possible, albeit with some minor flaws. But the current situation seemed to no longer allow for further delays.

The White Zetsu were dying at an increasing rate. If he didn't find a solution soon, and these reincarnated ninjas who were supposed to assist him also fled.

Then the situation would become even more difficult.

Fortunately!

The Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage, the Second Tsuchikage, and the Second Mizukage were all controlled by Nagato.

Now that Nagato was under Black Zetsu's control, the combat power of these four barely kept the current situation from looking too grim.

"It seems I must start as soon as possible!"

Thinking this, Obito closed his eyes, focusing on controlling the Ten-Tails beneath him, Hah!

The Ten-Tails began to enter its second state, its body started to grow larger.

Its originally emaciated body seemed to swell.

Although it lacked a small portion of the tailed beast chakra, most of the chakra had already returned to the Ten-Tails' body.

The Ten-Tails began to awaken fully. To compensate for the lack of combat power.

Obito started to control the Ten-Tails, creating split bodies, which greatly enhanced their combat strength.

This temporarily controlled the situation.

Even with Sasuke's Wood Release army, they couldn't continue their attack and push forward for the time being.

Once the Ten-Tails fully awakened, Obito would immediately absorb it, becoming... the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.

Creating the ideal world he envisioned, that was what Obito wanted to do.

And the ideal world he envisioned was... a world with Rin in it!

"Allied Shinobi Forces... everyone..."

Tsunade looked at the ninjas behind her.

"Now, along with the Wood Release soldiers, eliminate the Akatsuki. We'll deal with Uchiha Sasuke's issues later. Now... we must quickly resolve this guy!"

"The power of the tailed beasts has been absorbed by that thing. If this continues, the world will be destroyed by them!"

"We... absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!"
