"I found you!" Pakura shouted, lunging toward Zabuza and Haku, three blazing orbs of heat spinning around her body. "Scorch Release: Over-Boil!"
"Haku!"
"Understood!" Haku responded softly, forming rapid hand seals. "Ice Release: Ice Crystal Ice Wall!"
A thick wall of glistening ice surged up around them.
Boom! A large section of the ice wall instantly melted and shattered under the intense heat.
Zabuza immediately formed hand seals. "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A massive water dragon burst from a nearby water source, surging toward Pakura with a violent roar.
Fwoosh! The scorching flames around Pakura's body were extinguished by the torrent.
Zabuza dashed forward, lifting the massive blade in his hand. "Die!"
Slash! The Kubikiribōchō cleaved through, and Pakura's arm was sliced clean off.
Pakura leapt backward immediately.
The severed limb crumbled into ash, then reformed slowly onto her body.
Zabuza narrowed his eyes. "So this is what Naruto meant by immortality... What a pain."
Pakura slammed her palm onto the ground. "Summoning Technique!"
Several coffins burst from the earth, their lids creaking open.
The Allied Shinobi Forces looked on in horror. "Those are... the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?!"
"Everyone, attack!" Kakashi ordered.
A barrage of ninjutsu shot toward the summoned shinobi.
"Hmph. Foolish!" Mangetsu Hōzuki sneered, pulling out a summoning scroll. With a bang!, three of the legendary ninja blades materialized in front of them. "We're already dead... Impure World Reincarnation makes us immortal!"
Boom! A massive explosion erupted as the Seven Swordsmen were torn apart into pieces of paper by the blast. Their weapons clattered to the ground.
"Haku!" Zabuza barked.
"On it!" Haku immediately appeared in front of the scattered swordsmen. "Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"
A dome of ice surged up, sealing the Swordsmen within the thick crystal prison as they began regenerating.
Everyone fell silent.
"…What the hell," someone muttered, "We thought those freaks were gonna wreck everything."
The ninja resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation were stunned as well.
"Wait, what?" Mangetsu's expression twitched. "Shouldn't I have reformed first and gone on a rampage? These kids have no respect!"
Kabuto, watching from afar, urgently focused chakra to reassert control over Pakura and Gari.
Elsewhere – On the battlefield
White Zetsu, enraged after being scolded by Naruto's Shadow Clone, charged toward the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"Kiba, now!" Akamaru barked, spiraling through the air like a buzzsaw, knocking back dozens of White Zetsu.
They landed roughly on the ground. Akamaru groaned. "Ugh... why do you always use this stupid move!? I'm gonna be sick!"
"Transform!" Kiba ordered.
Boom! Akamaru transformed into a monstrous three-headed wolf, unleashing a devastating wind-fire combo attack. A sea of White Zetsu was blown apart and set ablaze.
"Secret Technique: Insect Jar!" Shino directed a massive swarm of kikaichū insects to swarm forward, engulfing several Zetsu and devouring them in seconds.
"There's too damn many!" Neji growled. "Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist!"
With a sudden burst of movement, he sent the surrounding Zetsu flying with fluid yet crushing strikes.
"This is ridiculous!" Kiba snapped. "It's like they don't die unless you burn them!"
"Stop whining and keep moving!" Neji ordered.
"Damn it, these things are like roaches!" Kurotsuchi cursed.
"Commander! Thousands of White Zetsu are surfacing from underground!" a Stone shinobi shouted at Kitsuchi.
"I can see that!" Kitsuchi shouted back. "Earth Style: Added-Weight Rock Technique!"
Boom! A chunk of White Zetsu were flattened and flung aside by the crushing impact.
"This is endless!"
Meanwhile, on the Gobi Desert
Mysterious footprints appeared in the sand.
Naruto and Gaara, standing still in meditation, both opened their eyes at the same time.
"They're here."
Behind them, tens of thousands of shinobi readied themselves.
Suddenly, a figure wrapped in bandages appeared in front of them—the Second Tsuchikage, Mu.
"Summoning Technique!"
Mu slammed his hand on the ground. Three coffins emerged from the sand, their lids creaking open slowly.
From within stepped the Third Raikage, the Second Mizukage, and both the Third and Fourth Kazekage.
"Huh? Where the hell is this?" the Third Raikage looked down at his hands.
"This is clearly the Second Hokage's technique," Mu muttered. "We're dead men... don't you remember? I'm the one who killed you, Mizukage."
"Hah?!" the Second Mizukage blinked, then scowled. "No, no, no, you bastard—I fed you to death with my clam, didn't I?"
Mu glared. "That was mutual annihilation, you senile fool."
The Fourth Kazekage looked around grimly. "This isn't the work of the Second Hokage. I was revived before... by Orochimaru, that traitor from Konoha."
"In any case, this smells like Konoha's handiwork," the resurrected Kage looked off toward a source of chakra. "That's where the chakra is densest."
"The future feels weird," the Second Mizukage said, inspecting his body.
"We're not in the future," Onoki replied grimly. "We are the past. Sorry to say."
"Bastard!" the Mizukage growled. "You already killed me once! I'll finish it this time!"
At Allied HQ
"Captain Gaara has sent word," said the Cloud Village communications officer. "The Fourth Division has encountered the Second Mizukage, the Second Tsuchikage, the Third and Fourth Kazekage, and..."
Raikage narrowed his eyes. "And who else?"
The officer hesitated. "...Lord Third Raikage, sir."
Smash! The Raikage's hand shattered the desk. "What?! That's my father! Damn those Akatsuki bastards!"
"Why did they appear so close to HQ?" Tsunade asked, frowning.
"Because Mu is with them," Onoki growled. "His anti-sensor technique can bypass our detection."
Ao, standing beside them, suddenly spoke. "It's bad! Darui's division has clashed with both White Zetsu and the Impure World Reincarnation forces! Do you need reinforcements?"
"Is Naruto's Shadow Clone there?" Raikage asked sharply.
"Negative," Ao replied. "He was last dispatched to support the surprise attack unit. He's not present now."
"Recall him immediately!" Raikage shouted.
"Understood!" The communication team sprang into action.
On the eastern shoreline
Dozens of White Zetsu emerged from the sea, marching toward the Allied Forces.
"They're coming!" Darui shouted. "Send out the battle signal!"
"What an insane number!" Tenten gasped.
Hiashi's Byakugan activated. "There are more than just Zetsu. I'm detecting chakra signatures from Impure World Reincarnation as well!"
"What?!" another Hyūga beside him exclaimed. "Lord Hiashi—it's ten o'clock!"
Hiashi turned and narrowed his eyes. Walking out of the water were… Hyūga Hizashi, Pakura, and Kakuzu.
"Chōza, go!" shouted Darui.
"Lightning Style: Black Panther!" Darui roared, forming a panther-shaped bolt of black lightning. It darted forward and struck the water, electrocuting dozens of White Zetsu instantly.
But more emerged from the waves, sprinting toward the shoreline.
"Tenten!" Chōza called out.
"Leave it to me!" she shouted, drawing her scroll. "Scatter! Senbonzakura!"
Countless thin blades spread through the air like cherry blossoms. Under the sun, they gleamed as they tore through the charging White Zetsu.
"AAAHHH!!" the battlefield echoed with their screams as the blades sliced through them.
And so…
The Fourth Great Ninja War had truly begun.
