"Let's move on to the second step."

"Psychic art!"

One coffin after another rose up somewhere, and Kabuto Yakushi was about to begin his plan. Before the first batch of Saiyan White Zetsu and ordinary White Zetsu died, the various powerful warriors resurrected through Edo Tensei would also arrive at their respective battlefields.

Chapter 183, Second Seat: The Corpse Collector—Death

somewhere.

Kakashi encounters his old rivals once again in Jiraiya's army.

"Zabuza, Haku. I never thought we'd meet again. It's just a pity that we're enemies again this time."

Ahead, the fog was thick, and one after another, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen emerged from the coffin lids.

Besides the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, there are also White Zetsu soldiers hidden underground who are difficult to spot, slowly crawling out.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Ice Release and Scorch Release user, Pakura, truly brings back fond memories."

"Psychic art!"

The three giants of Mount Myoboku have appeared.

— Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken.

Jiraiya stood on Gamaken's head and said, "Everyone, let me dispel this blinding white fog!"

"It's Jiraiya-sama!"

"It's the Legendary Sannin of Konoha who made their move!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and unleashed all the gathered wind jutsu: "Wind Release: Typhoon Passes!"

Phew~~~~~

Kabuto, who was on the other side, scoffed: "The addition of Jiraiya, a Kage-level expert, to the Third Squad's battlefield is making things difficult."

On the chessboard, the white pieces shattered one after another—without the protection of the white mist, the Hidden Mist Ninja's strength was just so-so.

but.

Kabuto is now more focused on the other two who haven't made a move yet.

Uchiha Sasuke and Shirahoshi are both currently far stronger than Kage-level beings.

......

During the battle at the front, a young man with blond hair disappeared without a trace. None of his comrades noticed, as if he had vanished into thin air.

They reappeared in front of the stone tablet beneath the Uchiha clan's basement in Konoha Village.

"So late, you're only arriving now. Did you bring the goods?"

"Of course. I went through a lot of trouble to snatch this woman from Yakushi Kabuto's hands."

On the ground lies Mitarashi Azuki.

The people inside were Bai Xing's two clones, as well as several captured Bai Zetsu.

"Now, I will revive you, Orochimaru-sensei." The Shirahoshi clone, now restored to its original form, smiled, formed hand seals, and placed one hand on Mitarashi Anko's neck.

"Break the evil seal!"

A faint light emerged from the seal, followed by a snake's head and a sticky figure crawling out of its mouth.

"I never expected that it would be you who resurrected me. I thought we shouldn't have much of a relationship," Orochimaru said.

"Hmph~ If I weren't still learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and if I could leave professional matters to professionals, I wouldn't have called you."

Most importantly, the current method of resurrecting the Fourth Hokage using Edo Tensei requires cutting open his stomach, and Shirahoshi hasn't learned the ability to possess another body, so there's no way to exploit any bugs.

Orochimaru stretched, glanced at the Shinigami mask on the floor, and sighed, "I really miss it. And you guys too." He looked at the White Zetsu.

"Right now, I don't have many thoughts about this battlefield, but I'd like to know why you're helping Konoha."

Shirahoshi gave Orochimaru a strange look: "If this planet is gone, you won't be able to continue your experiments, right?"

"..."

That makes perfect sense, and Orochimaru was speechless.

"Let's begin then. I still need some materials for the Impure World Reincarnation..."

The clone of Shirahoshi, now back to its original form, glanced at the clone behind him. The clone behind him nodded, clasped its hands together, and summoned a sealing scroll. Then it pulled it open—and inside the sealing scroll were all the materials Orochimaru needed.

Shirahoshi said, "Just because I don't know how to use the Impure World Reincarnation doesn't mean I don't know what it requires. You just need to do your job, Mr. Orochimaru."

"How cruel. He was just calling me teacher. Could it be that I failed in my duty as a teacher in the past?" Orochimaru did not resist, but instead stepped forward, took the scroll, and checked whether there were any problems with the materials needed to use the Impure World Reincarnation.

Shirahoshi laughed and said, "You're planning to possess Sasuke, so what am I to you, right, Mr. Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru, who had taken out the materials, paused slightly, looked at Shirahoshi seriously, and couldn't help but smile.

After laughing, he said calmly, "You're right, Shirahoshi. Whether in the future or the past, my heart has never changed. Immortality is the right path."

Bai Xing remained silent, watching Snake Uncle begin his overpowered, arrogant mode.

After a while.

Materials are ready.

Orochimaru glanced at Shirahoshi, "Release White Zetsu, leave it to me."

"it is good."

Several small snakes pounced and grabbed the bodies of five White Zetsu. Then, Orochimaru put on the Shinigami mask and began to act like a ghost, with an astonishing burst of chakra erupting from his body.

"Uh~ Uh~~~"

"Summoning Jutsu! Impure World Reincarnation! Appear, former Hokage!"

"Ahhhhhh—" x4

The shredded paper merged with the White Zetsu's body, and after piling up, it became the target object corresponding to each Edo Tensei.

"coming!"

Just as the Grim Reaper was about to reap Orochimaru's soul, Orochimaru emerged from his body, flew towards the White Zetsu that his clone had grabbed, opened its mouth, and then rushed inside, completing the possession.

Orochimaru revealed a perfect smile.

Death stared blankly at his exposed stomach, seemingly deep in thought.

"It's my turn," Shirahoshi's clone smiled.

Two figures landed; they were Shirahoshi and Karura.

As Death prepared to depart, Shirahoshi moved swiftly and appeared before him, reaching out to grab Death's position with one hand: "You are mine now."

"Kaguya."

"Ah."

This Grim Reaper, who holds the power of life and death, was firmly grasped by the chakra extended by Shirahoshi.

"Reincarnation: The Gift of the Art!"

"Yama!"

A giant head of Yama, the King of Hell, rose from the ground.

"Aaaaaah! ******"

Death seemed to be cursing, but Shirahoshi couldn't understand it.

"No need to say anything more, give me your soul body!"

The Grim Reaper's enormous body transformed into a long, ethereal form, much like the Demon Wind Wave, and swiftly entered the King of Hell's mouth.

Shirahoshi, having borrowed Kaguya's power, turned white, grew a single horn from the Otsutsuki clan on her head, and the lightning strike markings on her right arm glowed.

"What...what's going on? Impure World Reincarnation? Is it Orochimaru again? But what is this young man doing?"

Upon his resurrection, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was struck by the terrifying aura emanating from Shirahoshi's movements. He instinctively prepared to dispel the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but Orochimaru discovered his intentions.

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru and sighed, "Orochimaru. I never thought that after I took your hands, you could take them back. But are you planning to start another war against Konoha?"

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, checked his body and then said to the other three Hokage, "It seems we've been resurrected. I never imagined that Orochimaru-senpai could break the Reaper Death Seal technique."

Orochimaru stood up from the ground, returning to his original form, and said, "Minato, you underestimate me. Besides, this resurrection isn't about me reviving you, but about this..."

Orochimaru gestured to the surrounding Shirahoshi clones and Shirahoshi herself.

But when he saw Shirahoshi in person, his eyes flashed with endless desire—the other person definitely had the constitution of the Otsutsuki clan.

Just like when Kabuto Yakushi met that person from the Otsutsuki clan named Jigen, they were both aliens!

"I want it so badly... I really want it."

Now, even if Sasuke stood in front of him, he would have to be last in line.

"What an amazing young man."

Of the four Hokage present, only the First Hokage could see that the Shinigami's soul in the sky was suffering immense torment.

"Are you planning to absorb the soul of this Grim Reaper?"

"Pretty much. I'll be useful."

Hashirama Senju nodded: "I can't stop you. You're stronger than me, but you summoned us here because you intend to destroy Konoha?"

He asked this question in order to prepare himself mentally in advance.

"A born evil brat dares to try and destroy Konoha? Then let me..."

"boom!"

The Second Hokage unleashed his chakra, transforming it into a powerful gust of wind.

As Shirahoshi absorbed the Shinigami's soul, she glanced at the Second Hokage out of the corner of her eye: "Senior, it's not your turn to speak yet."

"boom!"

The walls and floor trembled violently the moment Shirahoshi unleashed his chakra.

Cracks appeared in the spiderweb at Shirahoshi's feet and in the surrounding walls.
