"Madara, it seems we'll have to fight against the younger generation in this battle."
Hashirama Senju looked gravely into the distance, clearly noticing the chaos erupting within the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"Hmph! They're nothing but ants."
At this moment, Uchiha Madara felt deeply frustrated. He had planned for so long, but now the Sage of Six Paths had appeared, and Obito had betrayed him. Now, he had no way to counter Obito and could only let himself be controlled by Edo Tensei.
"Everyone, it looks like it's time for you to give the Allied Shinobi Forces a real shock."
Seeing the chaos among the Allied Forces, Uchiha Obito naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip. He revealed a mocking smile.
His hoarse laughter echoed, making the resurrected Kage-level powerhouses all seethe with anger—even Madara couldn't break free from these restraints.
"Damn it!"
Madara, though unwilling, had no control over his body and could only walk forward.
As the Edo Tensei army advanced, the sensor ninja among the Allied Forces detected them.
"Report! The Edo Tensei ninjas are advancing toward us!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Shouts rang out. The sudden attack on Kumogakure's black ninja had thrown the Allied Forces into confusion.
At this moment, however, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, frowned and calmly looked ahead.
"Edo Tensei army, huh? But they're not the only ones with such forces—we have some as well!"
"We do!?"
Under the crowd's confused stares, Onoki seemed to realize something. His face changed drastically:
"Hokage, don't tell me—!"
Before Ohnoki could finish, a wave of urgent reports came from the sensor ninja behind them.
"Bad news! A large ninja force is approaching from the rear!"
"There's a massive amount of chakra, heading our way!"
The Allied Forces grew more anxious. This was a pincer attack.
But Tsunade, hearing the reports, only smiled.
"Our reinforcements have finally arrived."
"Reinforcements!?"
Many in the Allied Forces were still completely lost, their minds buzzing.
But as figures appeared behind them, countless ninjas stared in disbelief.
"Is this genjutsu!?"
"This can't be real!"
"I see the Third Tsuchikage!"
"And Mizukage Mei Terumi!"
"That's me! What's going on!?"
An entire army approached, and in the sky, another Onoki from another world laughed heartily:
"Seems the Iwagakure in this world aren't bad either!"
"Haha, Kakashi, I'm here!" Another world's Might Guy shouted excitedly, leading an army of more than fifty thousand ninjas.
While everyone was still confused, at the front of the Allied Forces, two Orochimarus appeared—one male, one female.
Both Orochimarus bit their fingers, formed hand seals, and slammed the ground.
Forbidden Technique: Edo Tensei!
With a rumble, coffins appeared at the front. Countless ninjas stared in shock.
"Edo Tensei!"
As the coffins burst open, the figures who emerged left everyone even more stunned.
First Hokage Hashirama Senju, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Madara, and many other Kage-level powerhouses from another world!
The contrast was stark—they had summoned their own Edo Tensei army to match the enemy's.
The two Orochimarus grinned hoarsely.
"Hehe, Lord Madara, this is another ninja world. It seems the Madara here is all tied up."
As Orochimaru teased, the Madara revived after having the Ten Tails extracted in the other world snorted coldly, looking contemptuously at the fleeing Kumogakure ninja and the Edo Kage from this world.
"So, there's a difference in strength between worlds. To be bound like that—how shameful."
Madara looked cold and proud, but his eyes burned with anger: how could his counterpart be controlled like this? It was an embarrassment.
"Madara!"
At that moment, Hashirama Senju suddenly shouted as Madara charged forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
"Madara, you're being reckless!" Hashirama shouted, but he rushed after him as well, leaving Tobirama feeling abandoned and frustrated.
"Big brother!"
No one expected Madara to be in such a hurry. The Edo Tensei on the other side saw this too, resulting in an almost comedic scene:
The resurrected Kage from both worlds—were identical.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Both Madaras' Mangekyo spun as they formed hand seals at the same time. The next instant, terrifying jets of fire erupted from both, meeting in the middle.
Unfortunately, caught right in the center was the battered Kumogakure ninja.
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage A's eyes bulged in rage:
"Obito! We're allies! You can't do this!"
But Obito in the distance ignored him, coldly watching the battlefield, growing more anxious inside. 'Sage of Six Paths, hurry up and return, or this battle will be a disaster.'
The moment the fire-style jutsu was released, countless people were stunned, especially the nearly ten thousand Kumogakure ninjas caught between the attacks.
"Hurry! Water Release! Use Water Release!"
"Damn it! No!"
A tsunami-like wall of fire, over ten meters high, swept in like doomsday.
Even worse, the hellish inferno was attacking from both sides—the Kumogakure ninja, trapped in the middle, suffered the most.
The sky itself warped from the heat; the temperature soared.
"How can there be such terrifying fire-style jutsu!?"
"Hurry, use Water Release!"
Countless Kumogakure ninjas screamed.
Water Style: Water Formation Wall!
Water Style: Water Formation Wall!
Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!
Kumogakure was one of the five great ninja villages; there were plenty of ninjas who could use water style.
But, facing this two-sided firestorm, nearly a thousand water style users unleashed massive jutsu, clashing head-on with the fire on the parched earth.
Rumble—!
As water and fire collided, hissing steam filled the battlefield.
"Run! All Kumogakure ninjas, retreat to the sides! Only if we escape do we have a chance to retake the village!"
Taking advantage of the water defense, the Fourth Raikage A screamed commands.
As the kumo ninja fled in panic, the earth suddenly began to rumble. The Fourth Raikage continued to roar:
"Konoha! This isn't over between us!"
Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!
Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!
The ground split open as countless monstrous vines burst forth, instantly growing immense. Strangely, the vines from both sides even tangled and fought each other, but it was clear the Kumogakure ninjas were the first victims.
First, betrayed by the Allied Forces and barely escaping, now caught in the crossfire between two Edo Tensei armies.
"Go!"
The battlefield thundered as both Hashirama and Madara from both worlds unleashed their power. The two Hashiramas and two Madaras faced off.
Hashirama vs. Hashirama.
Madara vs. Madara.
"Haha, I didn't expect Madara from another world to be this strong!"
Hashirama laughed heartily, while the Edo Hashirama on Obito's side shouted:
"I'm fighting myself, but hurry up and seal us—we're being controlled! Oh no, I'm going Sage Mode…"
Despite the cross-world brawl, those under Obito's Edo control disliked it and even revealed what jutsu they were about to unleash.
The contrast was obvious.
Susanoo!
In the endless sea of vines and flowers, two terrifying blue giants appeared—two Madaras stared each other down, both resolute.
Susanoo entered full form, sending shockwaves across the battlefield, bringing even more disaster to the Kumogakure ninja.
"Kill!"
"So, this… this is how the ancestors fought?"
"Damn, this is a whole other level."
"This… this has to be the battle of gods."
The Allied Forces watched in shock—this scale of combat was beyond their imagination.
And with the arrival of the Allied Forces from another world, chaos only grew.
There were too many duplicates: two Tsunades, two Mei Terumis, and so on.
"Haha, Kurotsuchi, now tell everyone the truth of this world. We're fighting for peace now."
Another world's Onoki laughed, secretly grateful he'd switched sides early—otherwise, Iwagakure would be suffering like Kumogakure.
"Everyone, don't panic. Here's what's happening…"
Amid the commotion, as the truth was revealed, the Allied Forces came to terms with the situation, though still dazed.
"Everyone, we're all working for peace."
"This world's thousand years of chaos and war—all orchestrated by Otsutsuki Hagoromo behind the scenes. We must unite."
"In our world…"
As their counterparts from another world explained passionately, the Allied Forces, though still rattled, began to accept the truth.
Meanwhile, the Edo Kage battled on.
The fight between the two Madaras was the most terrifying; next was the Hashirama vs. Hashirama clash.
Now, neither Madara was holding back—Mangekyo and Rinnegan's abilities were on full display as the two Madaras went wild.
"Run!"
The shockwaves from their combat sent the Kumogakure ninja fleeing like stray dogs. The heavily injured, one-armed Fourth Raikage A glanced back with a twisted expression.
"I'll make you all regret this!"
He'd left Kumogakure to join the Allied Forces so full of confidence, leading over ten thousand ninjas.
Now, after being betrayed by the four great villages, losing thousands of comrades, and getting caught in the Edo Tensei crossfire, Kumogakure's losses were catastrophic.
"Raikage-sama, it's all gone! The village is gone, our comrades are dead!"
A Kumo ninja sobbed, but the Fourth Raikage forced himself to stand and roared:
"No! As long as we're alive, Kumogakure still has hope! We escape the battlefield now, let them fight it out—when we regain our strength, we'll come back…"
But as he tried to rally his people, he seemed to sense something. Looking up, his eyes went blank and he muttered:
"How… how is this possible!"
He saw both Madaras' Susanoo finish forming hand seals, and suddenly the sky was darkened by a massive shadow.
Not only Kumogakure, but all the ninjas in this world had never seen such power. Countless ninjas looked up in shock.
Some in the center of the battlefield dropped their swords in stupefied terror.
"This—this must be genjutsu!"
"There's no way this is the same dimension of battle."
"Are they gods? Is this the power of the gods of the ninja world?"
"Do we Kumogakure still have hope!?"
"Hahaha! Let it all end! Kumogakure is doomed!" Some kumo ninja even broke down, laughing maniacally.
To them, facing this power, Kumogakure had no hope of revival.
"No! You can't destroy Kumogakure!"
The Fourth Raikage finally recovered, screaming in horror. At this distance, Kumogakure had no way to escape the range of the jutsu.
"Everyone, run! Escape! Don't go back to Kumogakure—head to the ocean!"
He screamed desperately, blood pouring from his mouth and nose. All he could think of now was preserving some survivors.
But looking at the despair in the Kumogakure ninja's eyes, their will broken, they could only stare up at the sky.
A massive shadow blotted out the sun for nearly ten thousand Kumogakure ninjas below.
Two giant meteorites, wreathed in flaming tails, plummeted from the sky, clearing the clouds in a massive swath.
As the meteorites fell, both Madaras frowned. The jutsu was identical—there was no way to counter it.
"Konoha! Uchiha!"
From below, the Fourth Raikage's furious roar echoed as he saw two more meteorites trailing behind the first two.
From above, one could see four meteorites crashing down onto the battlefield.
Like the end of the world.
The next moment—thunderous explosions as the meteorites struck, turning day into night. Countless ninjas stared in shock at the apocalyptic scene before them.
