The Three Ninja Gather

"A completely different feeling from Impure World Reincarnation."

Senju Hashirama walked out of the Rashomon, a look of novelty on his face. He had experienced Impure World Reincarnation twice, and that technique made him feel like his soul was being forced into a not-so-large vessel, which was very uncomfortable.

Now it was the other extreme.

Patterns symbolizing Sage Mode appeared around his eyes, and he nodded, "So that's it, a body simulated with Chakra, giving life to intangible Chakra, attracting the souls of the dead back into the body."

"It's really the exact same way of life as the Tailed Beasts."

"Compared to Impure World Reincarnation, it's truly an amazing technique." He praised.

Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes, ignoring him. [Just you wait, my experiment is almost successful too. Lin Ke's Impure World Reincarnation formula is really amazing...]

Giving life to intangible Chakra, attracting the souls of the dead to reside within.

Lin Ke pondered, feeling like the logic was very similar to the process of creating an Earth Dragon.

"Don't be dazed, let's prepare to depart." Senju Hashirama hadn't gotten used to his own babysitter's little habit of spacing out, and spoke up.

Lin Ke glanced at Utakata, who immediately transferred more Tailed Beast Chakra over. Feeling the Chakra filling him again, he formed hand seals—

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique! "Kacha kacha kacha~" The ground trembled continuously, and countless earth-yellow light spots drilled out, soaring into the air, and quickly combining in mid-air.

A second later, a huge Earth Dragon with a body length of over a hundred meters appeared. It didn't roar like it usually did after coming out. Its massive size seemed to give it more wisdom, and it didn't try to roar and affect its master.

Even with all the joy of stretching its body in its heart, it still hovered in the air in a low-key manner.

[This feeling, is it Magnet Release? No, it's just pure Earth Release? Is it an instinct similar to the Light-Weight Rock Technique? What an amazing Summoned Beast!]

Senju Tobirama recalled the appearance of the summoning just now, seriously suspecting that this thing, like a Shadow, was a product of a technique.

"Ooh~" Senju Hashirama made a sound of amazement. Because he had accidentally extracted a little too much Sage Art Chakra just now, he hadn't canceled Sage Mode yet. He perceived the process of the Earth Dragon taking shape before him, and knew it more clearly.

"The ultimate change of Earth Release and Yin Release with Natural Energy added." He revealed the essence of the Earth Dragon Concealment Technique in one breath.

"It's a miracle of Sage Art, a living being exactly like the Tailed Beasts."

So he's just milking the Tailed Beasts, huh?

Lin Ke complained inwardly, knowing that he shouldn't say anything more at this time. He jumped onto the Earth Dragon's wings, which were resting on the ground, and said, "Let's go! First Hokage-sama."

"Let's go!"

Tsunade, Uchiha Sasuke, Utakata, and the Senju brothers followed closely behind.

The Earth Dragon didn't make too many movements, and its body quickly ascended into the sky. Soon, Konoha Village became a tiny dot. Its wings fluttered slightly, and the deafening sonic boom and circles of sonic boom clouds were left behind.

"To say something a little inappropriate, at this moment, being able to see old friends I haven't seen for many years is also a kind of fun!"

Senju Hashirama said with a big laugh, his hair shaking in the strong wind, his face full of joy.

[Madara, I must deal with you this time!]

Senju Tobirama, on the other hand, felt more and more unhappy.

"Sorry, I said before that I would reincarnate Nawaki and Kato Dan first." Lin Ke apologized.

Tsunade waved her hand, not caring, and said, "That kind of thing doesn't matter. With Grandpa's strength, it won't be too late to come back after dealing with the opponent."

[Uchiha Madara...]

Uchiha Sasuke thought quietly. He was a little curious about what the ancestor of the Uchiha clan was like, and how strong he would be. He felt that he was terribly strong now, but he still got the words from Senju Tobirama that [whether it is appearance, temperament, or strength, he is very similar to Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna].

[However, with my Dojutsu, as long as it's an Uchiha, there's no way to resist, right?]

He had strong confidence in himself.

The Earth Dragon's speed was extremely fast. Almost in the short time that everyone was thinking and communicating, it left Konoha Village far behind, and soon arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

"I sensed Madara's Chakra!"

Senju Tobirama said loudly, pointing in a certain direction.

He was the super-sensory ninja who could sense Uchiha Madara's Chakra on the battlefield while staying at the Nanga Shrine in Konoha Village.

"Boom! Buzz~"

Lin Ke willed it, and the Earth Dragon advanced at full speed. Its massive size created greater air resistance, naturally causing a bigger commotion. With the roaring sounds amplified, the sounds around them became a complete drone, drowning out most other noises.

The intense friction ignited flames around them, which were then dispersed by the Earth Dragon's power, exploding into bright red sparks in the air, making everyone's breath feel somewhat scorching.

At this extreme speed, they didn't waste much time before approaching the Rain Hidden Village.

Before they even arrived, a fully formed Susanoo rose into the sky and met the Earth Dragon head-on with a slash.

"*BOOM!!!*" - Inside a building in the Rain Hidden Village.

"They're here."

Orochimaru, who had just exchanged a few words with Black Zetsu, suddenly looked up, "Lin Ke, Tsunade, Sasuke, that familiar Earth Release Summoned Beast, and a very powerful Chakra."

His expression was somewhat amazed, "Is this the true strength of the First Hokage?"

Two intense Chakras were clashing. Tsunade and another unfamiliar Chakra had entered the village, searching for something -

Probably looking for the three captured individuals.

With this, even Madara will surely be defeated.

Orochimaru remained calm. Knowing history well, he was aware that the First Hokage had won the battle in the Valley of the End. Otherwise, Konoha would have been destroyed long ago.

Now that Uchiha Madara was weakened by Impure World Reincarnation, and they were facing a fully powered First Hokage thanks to Lin Ke's technique, there was no suspense about the outcome.

More importantly, if Lin Ke's technique was just for support, that would be the truly troublesome part.

Sasuke also seemed capable of participating in the battle. His Chakra was so powerful; he was growing up so fast.

"Whoosh!" Countless white hairs wrapped around him with a gust of wind.

"Don't move, Orochimaru, or else..." Jiraiya emerged from the shadows, his face pale.

The injuries he sustained from being defeated by Uchiha Madara hadn't healed yet. If Fukasaku Sage hadn't helped, he would still be lying there with Kakashi and Might Guy, waiting for someone to rescue them.

"Jiraiya-sensei." Konan stood behind him, hesitating about what to do.

Escape? Help Orochimaru? Or help Jiraiya?

And where was Nagato?

"Tch, Jiraiya, you're still such an idiot."

Orochimaru said calmly, the hairs on his body snapping apart, "If you want to kill me, just do it directly, instead of giving me a warning."

Damn it, as expected, this is still too much? Not enough Chakra, can't enter Sage Mode, facing Orochimaru...

Jiraiya glanced at the fallen Kakashi and Might Guy, who was covered in black rods, feeling somewhat anxious. He knew that now might be the time to gamble.

"Tap."

Footsteps sounded, and two more people entered the building: Tsunade and Utakata.

"I never thought the Three Ninja would meet here." Orochimaru, having used Natural Energy to break free from the Lion's Mane Technique, stood with his hands at his sides, a faint smile on his face.

"It's truly a strange fate. Whether it's me or you, Tsunade, we've gained greater power because of Lin Ke. Only Jiraiya, still clinging to his ridiculous ideals, is stuck in the past..."

"Enough nonsense."

Tsunade interrupted him coldly, her deep purple eye shadow prominent, "What exactly do you want?"

Both of them could sense that the other was constantly absorbing and utilizing Natural Energy.

"Huff... Huff..."

Jiraiya panted, Tsunade's arrival allowing him to expose his weakness.

"Pop~" Two bubbles were blown out, quickly enveloping the lying Might Guy and Hatake Kakashi.

Utakata put down the ninja tool in his hand, his eyes fixed on Konan.

Three Ninja against three Ninja, so he had to keep an eye on the Akatsuki's people.

Orochimaru didn't activate the Sage Mode he had mastered, but instead took a half step back, saying, "If I wanted to stop Lin Ke from summoning the First Hokage, I could have just used Impure World Reincarnation in advance."

"The First Hokage? Lin Ke?"

Konan was a little confused, feeling like she had suddenly been thrown into a different timeline.

What is going on?

She was still pondering whether the masked man who deceived Nagato was Uchiha Madara, and where Nagato had gone, but now it's turned into the First Hokage battling Uchiha Madara outside.

Tsunade frowned, not making a move, but also not exiting Sage Mode. She said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Orochimaru, come back with me."

"That won't do," Orochimaru said, his figure already disappearing from the spot.

"Boom!" Tsunade's fist pierced through the afterimage, the terrifying force passing through and directly shattering the entire building. The air cannon, along with the building debris, vanished into the horizon.

"This is?!"

Konan had just used her recovered Chakra to ascend into the sky when she saw the sky brighten.

In the distance, the Susanoo standing tall on the earth was locked in a contest of strength with the wooden figure opposite it. The surroundings were scarred and desolate, the dark clouds in the sky had completely dispersed, and the long-absent sunlight naturally shone down on the Rain Hidden Village.

Is this still the ninja world?

A lingering doubt arose deep within her heart.

This woman is really too reckless.

Utakata sighed at the divine battle over there while taking care of the two unconscious Jonin. These were people Lin Ke had specifically mentioned, so there couldn't be any mistakes.

How could he be like Tsunade, acting recklessly without regard for anything? A slight mistake in controlling her strength, and the aftershock could directly kill the hostages.

"Don't think about running!"

Tsunade's roar rang out, followed by a series of explosions and dust clouds appearing in the Rain Hidden Village, which was already mostly in ruins.

Next is finding the mastermind...

Utakata looked at Konan, who was in a daze in mid-air, and asked, "Black Zetsu, do you know where Black Zetsu is?"

"Pfft!"
