Boom!
The water bullets crashed against the Earth-Style Wall, creating a deafening roar.
"Sand Binding Coffin!"
A surge of sand surged from behind, targeting Gengetsu Hōzuki, the Second Mizukage.
Gengetsu leapt aside, eyes narrowing as he looked up at Gaara and Ōnoiki floating in the sky.
"Why are you only showing up now?" Gengetsu barked impatiently. "Look at those idiots on the ground! At this rate, they'll actually manage to seal me!"
"Of course..." A Shadow Clone of Naruto suddenly appeared beside the Mizukage and stomped hard into the ground.
Boom!
A loud rumble followed, and the giant clam slowly emerged into everyone's field of vision.
"Nani?!" Gengetsu gasped. "A sensory-type shinobi?!"
Immediately, the water bubbles surrounding him veered straight toward Naruto.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!" Naruto slammed his palm into the ground. Giant trees erupted from the earth, their trunks intercepting the bubbles as they exploded harmlessly among the growing forest.
Vines surged forward, attempting to bind Gengetsu.
"Steaming Danger Tyranny!" Gengetsu quickly formed hand signs, and a child-shaped clone emerged before everyone!
The clone inflated rapidly, bursting through the trees.
Then it rapidly shrank, and the resulting steam condensed into hail that rained down.
The clone darted straight at Naruto's Shadow Clone!
"Be careful!" Ōnoiki yelled from above. "That clone expands and explodes after building pressure! While it's active, his real body becomes vulnerable! Everyone, locate the real body!"
Naruto's Shadow Clone vanished just as Gengetsu's clone was about to reach it. The real Naruto appeared in its place.
"Hmph!" Gengetsu chuckled from his hiding spot. "So Ōnoiki still knows a few things. But can he actually find me?"
Naruto made no move to search for the Mizukage's body.
Instead, he unsheathed his sword. "Sit upon the frosty heavens... Hyōrinmaru. The sky descends."
The leftover steam and moisture in the air from the clone's explosion began condensing into a raging blizzard. The temperature plummeted.
Gengetsu's clone strained to move, but the sudden cold halted the water expansion within its body.
"Damn it! This is my natural enemy!" Gengetsu muttered from his hidden spot.
"Ice Dragon Tail Whip: Absolute Zero!" Naruto slashed, the freezing arc extending and transforming the area into a field of ice!
The clone tried to evade, but the icy trail caught up with it. Its movement slowed, and soon it was completely frozen.
Everyone on the battlefield watched with bated breath. The formidable Second Mizukage—who had previously required an entire platoon to contain—was neutralized in just two moves.
"Found you." Naruto murmured.
He vanished and reappeared behind a nearby stone pillar.
Gengetsu, weak from maintaining his jutsu, looked up in shock at Naruto's sudden presence. "Damn it!"
Naruto slammed the hilt of his Zanpakutō into Gengetsu's chest. The Mizukage's body flickered, turning into glowing particles as the Impure World Reincarnation was dispelled.
"Damn it! I didn't expect to be pushed this far..."
In a distant cave, Kabuto narrowed his eyes.
"That sword in Naruto's hands... it's too effective against Edo Tensei bodies. But thankfully, we still have Raikage under control. As long as we can land a hit on Naruto, even Edo Tensei can't withstand it. I need to summon him soon. But the ritual requires enormous power... and sacrifices. I'll have to buy some time."
Gobi Desert Battlefield
"Hey! Everyone, look over there!" a Sunagakure shinobi pointed.
A figure slammed their hands on the ground, and multiple coffins erupted from the sand, covering the desert.
"What the hell?!"
"Quick, report to HQ! Request reinforcements immediately!"
Kabuto tossed a handful of ash-like powder across his Edo Tensei map.
More coffins opened. Shinobi corpses stirred and climbed out, reforming.
"I command you to retrieve the sealed Edo Tensei soldiers taken by the Allied Shinobi Forces," a cloaked figure ordered.
"Tch. You expect me to obey a Konoha shinobi?" scoffed a revived Iwagakure shinobi.
"Shut up," snapped a bald, older man. "We're not aligned with any village."
"Reluctantly, we're under the same jutsu," muttered a rain-drenched Amegakure shinobi.
"All units, advance!" the Iwa-nin roared.
"Hey, who the hell are you?" a Konoha shinobi interrupted.
"I am Red Dust! That guy over there is Kaze no Daimaru!" the Iwa-nin struck a proud pose.
The Konoha shinobi blinked. "Who?"
"Hahahaha! You must have heard of us!" Daimaru laughed.
"Nope. Never heard of you," the entire group replied blankly.
"BAKA!!!" Daimaru roared. "You bastards better die before I do! Ugh... whatever! Let's settle this now!"
"No! I don't wanna die again!" a Kumogakure shinobi shrieked.
"Shut up and charge!" Daimaru yelled.
The revived shinobi surged forward.
"They're coming! Brace yourselves!" Allied Forces shouted, raising their weapons.
"Ugh, they're gross... like a zombie coalition!"
"This is bad. Can we handle this many reanimated shinobi?!"
"Less talking! Throw your kunai and shuriken!"
Kunai and shuriken flew.
"Sh*t! Run! They're relentless!"
"Retreat! Don't let them near!"
Within seconds, the revived shinobi broke formation and scattered.
"They're... weak," a Suna-nin said, blinking.
"These are Genin-level?!" another murmured.
"NO WAY! Who said they had numbers advantage?!" a Konoha shinobi screamed. He had barely finished his words before a bandage snapped around his face.
"Now's our chance! Sealing squad, move in!" yelled the leading Allied commander.
"Yeah! Let's go! The other side's a bunch of pushovers!"
On the side, White Zetsu watched from the shadows, stunned.
"Are these... Kabuto's Edo Tensei failures?"
"Musa?! Wait—Dad?!"
"You said your father was powerful?!"
Musa: "..."
"These are the clowns the front line warned us about!" yelled Hoehe, leading a group of reinforcements. "Don't drop your guard!"
"Hey! Big bro, over here!" one of the revived shinobi shouted.
"Huh? Dang Wu? You got caught in Edo Tensei too?" Hoehe stared, stunned.
"How's my family?! The kids?!" Dang Wu cried.
"They're doing great! Everyone's well. So don't worry."
"Really? That makes me feel so much better," Dang Wu sighed in relief.
Hoehe grinned, patting his brother's head. "Oh, and your wife's remarried. She's super happy now."
Dang Wu: "..."
