Chapter 554
The Resurrection of All Shadows Throughout History
A hidden underground base.
Orochimaru wore a smile on his pale face.
Six coffins were placed in front of him.
No, to be precise, there are six prepared offerings, each a White Zetsu body cultivated using special methods, containing powerful life force.
"That's really exciting!"
Orochimaru licked his lips, his golden vertical pupils flashing with excitement.
"The Five Kage of all time... I wonder what they will be like after they are resurrected?"
He formed a mudra with his hands.
"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"
Chakra surged into the bodies of the six sacrifices.
The coffin lid was opened at the same time.
Countless tiny pieces of paper floated out from the offerings, dancing like snowflakes.
The pieces of paper multiplied and became denser, gradually coalescing into the shape of a human.
The first figure took shape: the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Long black hair, red armor, and a free and unrestrained temperament.
The second one is the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Long white hair, blue armor, and a cold, stern face.
The third one is the first Tsuchikage, Ishigawa.
He was short in stature but had an imposing presence, carrying a huge bamboo hat with the character "土" (earth) on his back.
The fourth is the first Mizukage, Byakuren.
He is blind in his left eye and has a long scar, sharp teeth, a beard, and wears a Water Shadow Robe.
The fifth is the second-generation Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.
A man who looked somewhat lazy had an odd hairstyle.
The sixth is the Third Mizukage.
He had white hair and beard, a serious face, and a robust build.
But it's not over yet.
Orochimaru continued forming hand seals.
Three more coffins rose from the ground.
The lid was opened, and pieces of paper flew everywhere.
the seventh.
He was extremely burly, with bulging muscles, exuding a violent aura, with brown skin and short white hair that stood up like steel needles.
The First Raikage, A.
This is the First Raikage of Kumogakure, a powerful figure from the same era as the First Hokage.
The eighth is the Second Raikage.
He was burly, but slightly more lean than the original, with dark skin and a nose painted with gold paint.
They are also inheritors of the name Ai, but their personalities are more composed.
The ninth is the Third Raikage, known as the strongest Raikage, who is said to have fought against ten thousand ninjas for three days and three nights without falling.
His body stood like an iron tower, his muscles bulging, his body covered with battle scars, his bronze skin gleaming in the dim light, and his white hair flowing like a lion's mane.
The most striking feature is the huge cross-shaped scar on his chest, a testament to his glory in life and the proof of his final sealing.
Nine Kage-level powerhouses stood before Orochimaru at the same time.
"Hahaha……"
Orochimaru laughed even more heartily.
"It's a success! It's a success! As expected, the bodies cultivated using the technology currently available are sufficient to support these legendary powerhouses!"
He looked at the nine figures.
"Gentlemen, how are you feeling?"
The Third Raikage, the most muscular man, flexed his wrists.
His resurrected body was covered in cracks, but his movements were still full of power.
"Impure World Reincarnation..."
He spoke, his voice as deep and muffled as thunder.
"I never imagined that I would be summoned in this way after my death."
His gaze fell on Orochimaru.
The Third Raikage died very late, so he knew a lot of things.
Naturally, he also knew Orochimaru, including the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique".
"Orochimaru, did you do this?"
Orochimaru smiled.
"Exactly."
The Third Raikage snorted coldly.
"You've got guts."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Orochimaru, his fist wrapped in violent lightning chakra, aimed straight at Orochimaru's face!
The speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to perceive it.
Orochimaru's smile remained unchanged.
He gently formed a hand seal.
"Certainly."
The Third Raikage's fist suddenly stopped just one centimeter away from Orochimaru's nose.
His body was frozen there, as if bound by invisible chains, unable to move.
"What……"
Shock flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes.
"I said that."
Orochimaru spoke slowly and deliberately.
“This is a body I made specially. It is not only stronger than you were in life, but the restraints are also stronger. Without my permission, you cannot even move a finger.”
He raised his hand and gently pushed away the fist that was standing in front of him.
"Third Raikage, you'd better behave yourself."
The Third Raikage gritted his teeth, his muscles bulging, trying to break free of his restraints.
But the invisible chains remained completely still.
"Damn it..."
He let out a low growl, but there was nothing he could do.
The other shadow figures watched this scene with varying expressions.
Hashirama Senju frowned slightly.
"Tobirama, this is a technique you developed, isn't it?"
He turned to look at his younger brother beside him.
Tobirama Senju's expression was rather unpleasant.
"……Yes."
He admitted it.
"But I never expected that it would be used to this extent by later generations."
The second-generation Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, whistled.
"Hey, how does it feel to be bound by a technique you developed yourself?"
Tobirama Senju gave him a cold look.
"Shut up."
The first Mizukage, Byakuren, sighed.
"I never imagined I'd be used like this even after I'm dead..."
The First Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, did not speak, but simply watched Orochimaru in silence.
The Third Mizukage's expression was complex.
The Third Raikage kept staring at Orochimaru, his eyes burning with rage.
Just then, footsteps echoed from deep within the base.
Two figures emerged from the shadows.
Madara Uchiha.
And the Otsutsuki style.
Madara Uchiha's gaze swept over the nine Kage-level powerhouses, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"good."
Madara Uchiha.
"They are all familiar faces."
When Hashirama Senju saw him, his eyes widened slightly.
"spot……"
Hashirama Senju's voice was somewhat complicated.
"You haven't given up yet?"
Madara Uchiha looked at him.
"Hashirama."
Madara Uchiha greeted him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Hashirama Senju looked at him.
"What do you intend to do by summoning me? Attack Konoha?"
Madara Uchiha shook his head.
"Attack Konoha?"
Uchiha chuckled softly.
"The main issue is that we need to deal with someone from Konoha."
"one person?"
Hashirama Senju frowned.
"Who is worth all this trouble?"
Madara Uchiha did not answer.
Otsutsuki Isshiki stepped forward.
His gaze swept over the nine shadows, his brand-new white eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Uchiha Kiyoshi."
Madara Uchiha.
"Most of you probably haven't heard of this name."
The nine shadows fell silent simultaneously.
Only the Third Mizukage and the Third Raikage knew about this.
Soon, the Second Tsuchikage, Muya, emerged. He had been resurrected using Edo Tensei a long time ago.
"That guy is very strong."
The Second Tsuchikage said without warning.
"Qingji..."
"Hashirama Senju muttered to himself."
He looked at Ban.
"You're going to deal with him?"
Uchiha with freckles.
"His power has transcended the scope of this world."
Madara Uchiha.
"If we don't stop him, the entire ninja world will be changed by him."
Hashirama Senju remained silent for a few seconds.
"Spot..."
Hashirama Senju.
"You're always like this. If you feel that something threatens your ideals, you want to get rid of it."
Madara Uchiha looked at him.
"Hashirama, you're still so naive."
Madara Uchiha shook his head.
"That man is not the kind of person you imagine. He will not maintain peace with love and bonds like you do. He will use power, absolute and overwhelming power, to make everyone submit."
Madara Uchiha paused for a moment.
Would you want to see that kind of world?
Hashirama Senju did not answer.
He looked at his younger brother beside him.
Tobirama Senju's expression was grave.
"Qingji..."
"It seems that Konoha has many new juniors."
"But do you think that, with all of us together, we can deal with him?"
Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a smile.
"Of course not enough."
Madara Uchiha continued.
"But you are cannon fodder."
Hashirama Senju frowned.
"spot……"
Don't misunderstand.
Madara Uchiha interrupted him.
"I didn't mean to insult you, I was just stating the facts."
He looked at Isshiki Otsutsuki.
"Right?"
Otsutsuki nods.
"I have personally experienced that man's power."
Madara Uchiha.
“A thousand years ago, he took my eyes and almost killed me. If I hadn’t run fast, I would have died at his hands.”
His words caused the expressions of the nine shadows to change.
A thousand years ago?
This person has lived for a thousand years?
Moreover, Kiyoshi almost killed him a thousand years ago?
How strong must Kiyoshi be now?
But Konoha wasn't even established a thousand years ago. Could it be that Konoha joined later?
"so……"
When the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, spoke, his voice became unusually serious.
"Are we just going there to die?"
"uncertain."
Otsutsuki Isshiki said.
“You are Kage, the strongest ninjas of your respective eras. Even if you face Kiyoshi, you can still pose a threat to him.”
Otsutsuki Isshiki paused for a moment.
"But he'll reveal his weakness whenever there's a threat." "And then what?"
The first generation of Water Shadow, White Lotus, asks.
"Then……"
A cold glint flashed in Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes.
"I will take action."
The nine shadows fell silent.
They looked at each other, then at Ban and Isshiki.
Hashirama Senju sighed.
"I refuse."
Hashirama Senju.
Madara Uchiha looked at him.
"Hashirama..."
“I said, I refuse.”
Hashirama Senju's gaze hardened.
"No matter who Kiyoshi is, I will not help you attack Konoha. Konoha is our dream, the home of our children, and I will not destroy it with my own hands."
Ban remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he laughed.
That smile was somewhat complicated.
"You're still the same, Hashirama."
Madara Uchiha.
Even in death, I can't let go of those pointless ties.
He looked at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru nodded slightly.
He formed a mudra with his hands.
Hashirama Senju's body suddenly stiffened.
He felt that the binding force had become even stronger.
Not only the body, but even consciousness was suppressed.
"spot……"
He spoke with difficulty.
"I'm sorry, Hashirama."
Madara Uchiha.
"This time, you have no choice."
He turned around and looked at the nine figures.
"You are the same."
Madara Uchiha.
"From this moment on, you are pawns in my hands. Until Kiyoshi falls, you have no right to refuse."
Silence fell over the base.
Only Orochimaru's soft laughter echoed in the dim space.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
…………
at the same time.
Konohagakure, Rai Station.
This is one of the transportation facilities newly built by the Qing government.
The journey from Konoha to the Land of Fire takes only three hours.
Compared to ninjas traveling by car, the Thunder Car is more suitable for ordinary people to travel.
Moreover, it's a good option for ninjas to rest.
At this moment, Kiyoshi is standing on the platform.
He was dressed casually, in a dark kimono with a black haori over it, looking more like an ordinary nobleman than a Hokage.
Beside him, Uchiha Hikaru stood there.
She was dressed differently today than usual.
She was wearing black stockings.
The stockings encased her long, slender legs, extending from her toes all the way to the hem of her skirt.
The legs were straight and smooth, with slender calves and full thighs.
Kiyoshi's eyelids twitched slightly.
He glanced at her.
"Why did you decide to wear this today?"
Uchiha Hikaru's face flushed slightly.
She lowered her head, her fingers gently twisting the hem of her clothes.
"I...I think it looks good..."
Her voice was very soft.
Kiyoshi's lips curled into a slight smile.
"It really is beautiful."
Uchiha Hikaru's face turned even redder.
At this moment, the train entered the station.
This is a brand new train with a streamlined body and a leaf pattern painted on its surface.
Kiyoshi led Uchiha Hikaru into the carriage.
They were traveling in a luxury carriage.
The carriage was carpeted with soft leather, and the seats were large and comfortable. There were only two seats in each row, separated by a wide armrest.
But the handrails can be folded up.
Kiyoshi and Uchiha Hikaru sat down by the window.
The train slowly started moving.
The view outside the window began to recede.
The streets, houses, and people of Konoha were gradually replaced by fields and forests.
Uchiha Hikaru leaned back in his chair, looking out the window.
Her profile is beautiful.
Her long, black hair cascaded down, revealing her fair neck and delicate earlobes. Sunlight streamed in from the window, casting a warm glow on her face.
Kiyoshi looked at her.
Then he reached out and folded up the middle armrest.
Uchiha Hikaru was stunned for a moment.
She turned her head and looked at Kiyoshi.
There was a hint of doubt and a hint of nervousness in those dark eyes.
"Lord Seiji?"
Qingsi didn't say anything.
He simply reached out and placed his hand on her thigh.
Through the thin black stockings, he could clearly feel the temperature of her skin.
Warm.
soft.
And because of long-term exercise, it is full of elasticity.
Uchiha Hikaru's body froze instantly.
She stared wide-eyed at Kiyoshi.
Those eyes were filled with shock.
"King, Lord Kiyoshi..."
Her voice trembled.
Kiyoshi gently rubbed her legs with his hands.
The feel of it is indeed very good.
The smoothness of stockings, combined with the elasticity and softness of the skin, makes them irresistible.
Uchiha Hikaru's face instantly turned bright red.
From her cheeks to her ears, from her neck to her collarbone, everything was tinged with a light pink.
She could feel the warmth emanating from his palm.
The temperature felt like an electric current, traveling upwards from her thighs and throughout her entire body.
It feels tingly and numb.
"Lord Kiyoshi..."
She called out again.
The sound became even softer.
Trembling.
"Ok?"
Kiyoshi responded.
His hands continued to gently massage her legs, from her calves to her thighs, from her knees to her groin.
Every part is taken care of.
Uchiha Hikaru's breathing became increasingly rapid.
She leaned back in her chair, her hands gripping the armrests tightly, her knuckles white.
A layer of mist clouded over those dark eyes.
“舒服吗？”
The Qing official asked.
Uchiha Hikaru bit her lower lip and nodded gently.
"……Um."
She responded softly.
Kiyoshi smiled.
His hand moved from her leg and rested on her waist.
A gentle embrace.
Uchiha Hikaru was pulled into his arms.
She leaned against his chest and could clearly hear his heartbeat.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
"Lord Kiyoshi..."
She buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled.
"We...we are still on a mission..."
"The mission isn't urgent."
Qing Si said.
His hand ran through her black hair, gently combing it.
"Take a break first."
Uchiha Hikaru did not speak.
She simply leaned against him and closed her eyes.
She could feel the warmth of his palm.
You can sense a faint aura emanating from him.
All of that made her heart race.
The train continued forward.
The scenery outside the window flashed by.
After a long while, Uchiha Hikaru spoke softly.
"Lord Seiji."
"Ok?"
"Why...why did you agree to come out with me?"
Kiyoshi looked down at her.
She buried herself in his arms, only half of her face showing.
Those dark eyes peeked at him through the gaps in his hair; there was tension and a hint of unease in them.
"Because you wanted me to come."
Kiyoshi said.
Anyway, it won't waste much time.
Uchiha Hikaru's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"It's...it's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Kiyoshi nodded.
Uchiha Hikaru remained silent for a few seconds.
Then she buried her face even deeper.
"……Thanks."
Uchiha Kodo.
Qingsi didn't say anything.
He simply pulled her closer.
The train continued forward.
The sunlight outside the window grew brighter and brighter.
Uchiha Hikaru leaned against Kiyoshi's chest, feeling his warmth.
She recalled many years ago.
She had just been ostracized by her tribe and was living alone on the margins.
Until it was sealed away, and then Kiyoshi dug it out.
From then on, her world was no longer lonely.
Now, she is leaning against him.
Feel his heartbeat.
She gently closed her eyes.
Kiyoshi looked down at her.
His fingers gently brushed through her hair.
Then he looked up and gazed out the window.
The train is passing through a forest.
"Task……"
Take your time, there's no rush.
Kiyoshi could sense that some powerful chakra had appeared in the distance.
"Impure World Reincarnation?"
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
Some people have pretty good ninjutsu; Kiyoshi could collect and copy them.
At the same time, Kiyoshi had a premonition that the final battle would take place this month or next month. (End of Chapter)
