"Ordinary allied ninjas?"
Hearing Kaoru refer to the many allied ninjas present as "ordinary allied ninjas," although they felt indignant and resentful, none of them dared to retort.
Because in front of Kaoru, they were indeed very, very ordinary. In fact, they probably didnt even deserve the word "ordinary."
"These ninjas call you the Sixth Hokage, and also… Commander-General of the Allied Forces. Brat, it seems your status is quite high. What is your name…"
Gazing at Kaoru, who seemed to be in a world of his own, completely detached from his surroundings, his aura completely different from that of an ordinary person, the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, stared intently and asked in a deep voice.
"And you revealed the secret of my hidden genjutsu right from the start. That means you saw through my genjutsu…" Gengetsu Hozuki mused inwardly.
"Looking at those scarlet eyes, a ninja of the Uchiha clan? No wonder you could see through my genjutsu…" Gengetsu Hozuki pondered.
"Heh heh… Im just a dead man. Theres no need for you to know who I am…"
Kaoru chuckled and shook his head, his scarlet eyes flickering with an inexplicable brilliance as he gazed at the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki. "I just randomly chose a battlefield, but you're out of luck. I encountered you first."
"Since thats the case, Ill start with you…" Kaorus lips curved slightly, a nonchalant smile on his face.
"Start with me?! Huh?!"
Hearing Kaorus words, the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, burst into laughter instead of anger. "In the past eras, I've never met a ninja as arrogant as you… Today, I must…"
Just as the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, was about to speak, Kabuto, who was controlling him from behind, didnt give him the chance. Kabuto was acutely aware of Kaorus terrifying strength and therefore held nothing back, directly unleashing the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozukis, strongest ninjutsu!
"Steam Impurity Danger!!!"
A mournful sandstorm swept in. Seeing an intangible aura fill the entire battlefield, the faces of all the allied ninjas present showed expressions of utter terror.
Gengetsu Hozukis body suddenly moved involuntarily. A child-like clone quickly formed beside him. As it moved rapidly, the water and oil components churned violently. The oil on the surface heated up rapidly, causing the water within to evaporate drastically!
Seeing the child-like clone of the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, rapidly enlarge, a massive steam explosion erupted, unleashing intense heat. Caught off guard, the terrible impact force of the explosion spread outwards.
"You useless people, hurry and dodge, or youll be blown to death!!!" Gengetsu Hozukis main body, hidden somewhere, frantically shouted at the allied ninjas!
"Were doomed!!!" Despite Gengetsu Hozukis warning, the explosions speed and range were too vast. The visible shockwave hurtled towards them. The faces of these hundred-odd allied ninjas were filled with despair.
At this moment, a blinding light flashed beside them…
Rumble!!!
A deafening explosion sounded. The surrounding area within a hundred-meter radius was instantly engulfed in dust and smoke, completely covered by the explosions range.
"Damn it, didnt I tell you to dodge…" Gengetsu Hozuki, hidden by genjutsu, grumbled inwardly upon seeing this. However, as the smoke cleared, he was astonished to find no allied ninja corpses around. He didnt even know where they had gone…
"Whats going on? Did they escape? Impossible. With this proximity, they shouldnt have been able to escape my attack…" The usually conceited Gengetsu Hozuki muttered in disbelief.
"Steam explosion, huh…"
While Gengetsu Hozuki was bewildered, a calm voice came from afar. Kaoru had somehow teleported out of thin air to the other side of the battlefield. Not only that, but the hundred-odd allied ninjas were also standing behind him, looking anxious.
"Commander-General… Thank you for saving our lives…" One of the allied ninja squad leaders said to Kaoru with trepidation. They had only seen a flash of light, and then a group of them had been teleported here with Kaoru, narrowly escaping the explosion. They immediately understood that at the last moment, the Commander-General had used some secret technique to save their lives.
"No need for thanks. Who else would I be if not your Commander-General…" Kaoru said with a slight smile, his scarlet Sharingan eyes still fixed on Gengetsu Hozukis position. As his gaze flickered, Kaoru immediately understood the principle behind the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozukis, ninjutsu.
It used a child-like clone made of special oil and water, which was fast, agile, and could self-destruct infinitely. The child-like exterior was made of oil, while the inside was filled with water.
Once the clone began to move, the oil on the surface would heat up rapidly, causing the water within to evaporate drastically, resulting in a steam explosion. At this point, the clone would shrink back to its original form. Then, affected by the steam explosion, the surrounding air would rise to the sky and form hailstones. The clone would absorb these hailstones and prepare for the next explosion, making it a powerful ninjutsu with an infinite explosion cycle.
The Second Tsuchikage Mu, who was once renowned in the ninja world, had his entire body wrapped in bandages because his skin was scorched by the steam from this Steam Impurity Danger technique during a battle with the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, in his youth.
"Everyone instantly appeared far away. How could their speed be so fast? Impossible. If these ninjas were that fast, they wouldnt have been beaten so badly by me before…" Gengetsu Hozuki looked at the hundred-odd allied ninjas in the distance with a look of utter confusion. He then shifted his gaze to Kaoru, who was leading them. "Could it be this brat, who, by himself, transferred all one hundred ninjas? But… is there such a powerful ninjutsu in the world…?"
"For ordinary ninjas… this is indeed a ninjutsu with great destructive power, and quite good…" Kaoru stood leisurely in the distant battlefield, commenting softly on the ninjutsu used by the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki. "However… after one explosion… your hidden main body should be quite weakened, right?!"
As he spoke, Kaorus scarlet eyes, like a sharp sword, pierced through the genjutsu laid by the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, directly targeting Gengetsu Hozukis main body behind a large rock!
"Damn it… As expected, genjutsu is useless against him. He found me…" Even hiding behind the rock, Gengetsu Hozuki could feel Kaorus sharp gaze as if it were on his back. "My body started moving involuntarily just now… Is it the will of the caster of the Reanimation Jutsu…"
"A Second Mizukage indeed poses no threat to Kaoru. Is even the Second Mizukages most powerful ninjutsu nothing to him…" In a dark cave, Kabutos face showed a look of unwillingness. His hands moved again. "Since one Second Mizukage cant do anything to Kaoru, lets call a few more people!!!"
...
As Kabuto manipulated them, the situation in other battlefields changed. The Second Tsuchikage, who was fighting Ōnoki and his ninjas, the Third Raikage, who was fighting over a thousand ninjas and crushing them with no recourse, and the Fourth Kazekage, who was fiercely battling Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage… all of them, affected by Kabutos aura, turned and left their original battlefields, all heading in the same direction!
"Why did they suddenly flee? Chase them!" Seeing their respective opponents leave, the leaders on the battlefield also ordered pursuits!
...
"Alright, come out on your own… or should I drag you out myself…"
Kaoru's Mangekyo Sharingan eyes locked onto Gengetsu Hozukis figure behind the rock. Kaoru's lips curled slightly. Just as he was about to make a move, he discovered something very interesting.
He saw three figures rapidly approaching from the distant yellow sand desert at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, three powerful figures appeared in the battlefield before Kaoru.
One was completely wrapped in bandages, revealing only his eyes, like a mummy. Another was dark-skinned and robust, with wild white hair. The third wore simple clothing and had red hair, appearing quite ordinary.
The only common feature they shared was the same cracks on their faces – all reanimated individuals.
"Second Tsuchikage-sama… Third Raikage-sama… Fourth Kazekage-sama…" At this moment, among the allied ninjas standing behind Kaoru, a few ninjas recognized the identities of the approaching figures. Upon recognizing them, they were so shocked they couldnt speak…
Four renowned Kage had gathered in this place all at once!
