The Four Great Ninja Villages Amount to No More Than This

With Imperial Killer B joining, all Kumogakure ninja were utterly suppressed.

Keen observers could see that without aid, within half an hour, all Kumogakure ninja would be annihilated.

The Empire's people were terrifying!

"Dust Release – Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, acted instantly, a beam of light sweeping toward Imperial Killer B and Raikage A, slaughtering amid Kumogakure's ninja.

"Earth Release – Rising Earth Spears!"

Imperial Deidara shouted, joining his hands.

The ground within a hundred meters of Mu turned into earth spears, forcing back ninja including Mu, piercing some ninja's calves, drastically reducing their combat strength.

"That brat!" Ōnoki, seeing Imperial Deidara act, snorted angrily.

He unleashed Dust Release.

Other ninja collectively used Earth Release.

Deidara dodged Dust Release.

Kurotsuchi's figure split into multiple shadows, swirling around Deidara, detonating all Earth Release ninjutsu.

"Many bullying few? You started it! Earth Release – Clay Soldier Technique!"

Deidara joined his hands.

The ground rumbled, clay soldiers emerged, charging at Iwagakure's ninja.

Estimated at five or six thousand, each moved nimbly, with strength nearly matching Chūnin, holding back some attacking ninja.

But these clay soldiers were too weak for strong ninja, quickly destroyed in brief combat.

"Hahaha… not done! Explosion Release – Clay Dolls!"

Deidara spread his hands, mouths on his palms spewing clay piles, mixing with the ground, forming dozens of clay dolls, rushing at Iwagakure's ninja.

"That's Deidara's Explosion Release! Be careful, they self-detonate! Keep distance! Protect yourselves!" Kitsuchi shouted.

He'd seen Deidara use this, but the key difference between Imperial and Ninja World Deidara was quantity!

The same technique, Imperial Deidara's clay dolls outnumbered Ninja World Deidara's by dozens of times!

Kitsuchi coated himself in earth, charging at the clay, punching a doll with full force!

The doll crashed, creating a ten-meter crater.

The doll, expected to explode, didn't move.

Other clay dolls surrounded, their bodies sprouting sharp spikes, piercing Kitsuchi's stone layer, forcing him back.

Once he retreated, the fallen dolls stood again!

"How?!" Many, knowing this technique's weakness, were baffled.

When approached, they were brutally beaten. Even if sliced, the dolls split into new ones.

Thus, dozens of clay dolls matched dozens of Jōnin, suppressing many elite ninja.

With Kurotsuchi's strength, they temporarily held Iwagakure's ninja.

But keen observers saw that Imperial Deidara and Kurotsuchi's combined power was far below Imperial Raikage A and Killer B; defeat was a matter of time.

This shocked and excited the Four Great Ninja Villages' people.

"They're insanely strong! But we can win!"

"Victory's ours! Damned Empire army, get out of our world!"

Someone shouted joyfully.

This joy was short-lived.

A group in skeletal armor behind Gaara acted.

They raised their right arms, aiming at Iwagakure's ninja.

*SWISH!* *SWISH!* *SWISH!*

Red, blue, green, and yellow light beams erupted, crossing hundreds of meters instantly, piercing many ninja before they could react, shattering their stone layers, penetrating their bodies!

"What instant ninjutsu is this! So fast!"

"Dodge! Dodge quick!"

The group shouted, trying to evade, but only a few could avoid it.

"I'll deal with them!" Ōnoki roared, halting his attack on Imperial Deidara, directing Dust Release at Imperial Gaara and others.

Some dodged easily.

Some in skeletal armor flew above Iwagakure's ninja, spreading mechanical wings.

Countless thumb-sized metal objects rained like water.

*RUMBLE!*

All metal objects touching anything exploded, injuring many Iwagakure ninja in moments.

This sight nearly broke Ōnoki's eyes. "What are these things!"

He roared, swinging his hands, aiming Dust Release to clear the skeletal armors, but they were agile in the sky, dodging while dropping bombs.

"Ninja world people, stop resisting. If this continues, we'll struggle to control our power, causing many unintended casualties!"

"The era demands reform and progress. Relying solely on ninjutsu like you, you can't defeat us, who combine ninjutsu, True Qi, and technology! Open your eyes! The era has changed!"

"Everyone, advance! Why are you still standing!" Ōnoki roared at the two great ninja villages yet to act.

Their people looked gravely serious.

"Everyone! Let's advance together! For the ninja world's future!" The Third Mizukage said grimly.

"I wanted to wait for the First Hokage, but now, we must act first." the First Mizukage sighed.

"No time to wait! Let's act together!" The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, spoke.

He raised both hands.

The ground beneath turned into a vast gold flow, forming giant golden hands, attacking the skeletal armor soldiers in the sky.

Others acted en masse, chakra erupting, various ninjutsu flying wildly.

"Since you've acted, I won't hold back."

Imperial Gaara glanced flatly at Sunagakure's ninja, joining his hands. "Sand Release – Thousand-Slaying Dragon!"

*RUMBLE!*

The ground shook; within a hundred-meter diameter before Imperial Gaara, all earth turned yellow sand, soaring skyward, forming a five-hundred-meter sand dragon.

Carrying Imperial Gaara, the dragon dove across the ground, occasionally extending claws, snatching Sunagakure ninja like ants, absorbing them into its body, leaving only heads.

Imperial Gaara displayed terrifying power, easily suppressing all of Sunagakure with one attack, making them flee in panic, screaming in fear.

"No way! A monster-level sand dragon… the other world's Gaara can summon it?"

"The Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release shatters on touching this sand! Their power levels aren't in the same dimension!"

"We can't win! The other world's Kazekage is a true monster!"

"Hahaha! These terrified screams are unexpected! We were too lenient before, making you ignorant of our terror, causing this trouble!"

"Now, let's crush them properly! Water Release – Great Water Explosion Wave! Samehada! Kubikiribōchō! Merge!"

Imperial Kisame laughed heartily, spewing a flood, nearly turning an eight-square-kilometer area into a lake, then becoming a metallic blunt-headed shark, leading a thousand water sharks rampaging, knocking ninja unconscious.

"Bone Release – Chain Machine Gun Technique!"

Imperial Kimimaro whispered, raising both hands parallel, finger bones piercing space, shooting like bullets, penetrating various body parts of village ninja.

Arriving in the ninja world, the usually quiet Imperial Haku, in a snow-white robe like a Yuki-onna, clapped her hands, exhaling slowly.

"Ice Release – Ice World!"

The sky over a dozen square kilometers changed color.

A blizzard swept the world, hail pounding from clouds.

Though not lethal, this attack significantly impacted ninja with extraordinary powers but relatively weak bodies, slowing them or draining chakra to maintain condition.

"Thousand Shadow-Slaying Spears!"

Imperial Shikamaru acted, joining his hands; his shadow turned into countless tentacles, touching village ninja's shadows.

"Shadow Soldiers!"

Imperial Shikamaru shouted again.

The shadows detached from their owners, becoming black shadow soldiers, attacking their owners, throwing them into chaos.

"My turn!"

Imperial Tenten, in light blue attire, drew a long spear from her space ring, her figure turning into a light beam, charging at village ninja.

Nearing, her hands danced: "Martial Arts – White Bird Facing Phoenix!"

The spear tip split into a hundred, like birdsong, sprouting blood flowers on ninja bodies.

"Oooooh! Passion! Burning! Eight Gates! Demon Spine! Muscle – Unleash! Hah!"

Imperial Lee roared, becoming muscular, charging fiercely, swinging his hands, creating storms, blowing ninja away.

Those acting above, even the weakest were Kage-level, the stronger nearing or surpassing Bijuu strength.

Victory swiftly tilted toward the Empire.

Some Empire members who hadn't acted silently watched.

Ninja World Sasuke, arms crossed, said boredly: "This is all the village ninja's strength? So weak… despite summoning past Kage and strong figures, it's disappointing."

Though he said this, his heart was shocked; each Empire member's power was too strong!

The Empire, sending these people to the ninja world, had calculated well; they had enough power to flatten it…

"So amazing… the Empire's people are too amazing."

"No need for prior worries."

"Our choice was right!"

"Opposing the Empire is meaningless."

Konoha's people, seeing this, felt much calmer.

Seeing Imperial Itachi, Setsuna, Obito, Kakashi, and other strong members yet to act, their hearts sighed repeatedly.

Some from the Four Great Ninja Villages, realizing this, showed despair and regret.

"How… just these few people suppressed all of the Four Great Ninja Villages, plus major figures and Kage… they're too terrifying."

"Didn't I say… if we unite… nothing's unbeatable…"

"Too terrifying… they're not ninja! They're demon gods!"

"We're just ninja; how can we fight demon gods!? No way to win! Absolutely no way!"

"Surrender… they're still restrained in fighting… if we surrender, they should accept us…"

Such words spread among the Four Great Ninja Villages.

Village leaders silently grumbled.

They also wondered why the First Hokage and Konoha's Edo Tensei hadn't arrived. Were we… deceived?

Damned Sannin! Damned Akatsuki! Were you with Konoha and the Empire?

The Kage and leaders of the Four Villages were anxious.

Mei nearly succumbed to pressure, ready to surrender.

Then, a loud shout rang out: "Wood Release – Birth of the Tree World!"

The ground rumbled, countless giant trees pierced the earth, forcing back all Empire members furiously suppressing the ninja alliance.

Everyone looked in one direction.

There…

Hashirama, leading various Hokage, a group of Konoha Edo Tensei experts, and Jiraiya, rapidly approached.

Seeing this, the Four Great Ninja Villages' leaders couldn't hold back smiles.

"They're here at last! With the First Hokage, we'll win this time!"

"This First Hokage's a bit troublesome." some Empire members frowned.

In some Empire records, Ryuji highly rated Hashirama, calling him one who could calm a chaotic world, among the strongest in thousands of years before the Empire's unification.

But weren't they Konoha's people? Why side with the enemy?

The Empire's people, pondering this, turned to Ninja World Tsunade.

"Great-Grandfather! Second Great-Grandfather! Jiraiya! What are you doing!? Why help the Four Great Ninja Villages?" Ninja World Tsunade shouted from afar.

"Tsunade, we're here to protect the ninja world!" Hashirama shouted back.

"Protect the ninja world? What protection? Great-Grandfather, what are you saying? You're on our side!" Tsunade shouted.

"Of course, to stop the Empire and the Konoha you lead, to protect the ninja world! I've heard everything from Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage's prophetic dream! If the Empire controls the world, it'll be utterly destroyed! So, we must protect it!" Hashirama replied firmly.

"Jiraiya! You bastard! You were so obedient before; I didn't expect you'd do this to me at a critical moment!"

Tsunade's brow furrowed, clenching her fists, wanting to punch Jiraiya.
