**************

How terrifying was Hashirama near his prime?

Many had only heard of the title "God of Shinobi" before, but there was no real understanding of what that meant.

In the minds of many present at this moment, no matter how strong Hashirama was, it was assumed that he was just a level above the previous generations.

But now, they realized the truth.

Compared to Senju Hashirama, calling the other shinobis a "Kage" was truly a compliment! Deidara swore at Kakuzu while soaring through the air.

"You fought the First Hokage in the past? Bullshit!"

He did not believe that for even a second.

If Kakuzu wasn't dead already, Deidara wouldn't mind giving him one of his special arts as a gift.

A large number of shinobi couldn't escape the vast area of Hashirama's ninjutsu.

After just a few moments, they were ensnared by the vines, dangling from the trees like helpless caterpillars.

"My chakra!"

Several voices cried out in alarm as they realized that the chakra within their bodies was being continuously drained.

"Be careful! Grandpa's Wood Style can absorb chakra, which is why he was able to easily subdue the tailed beasts!" Tsunade shouted, offering a stark reminder.

Her words made the shinobis want to curse.

The warning was late, but it wasn't like they could doge anyway! It was just too fast.

To make matters worse, Hashirama's ninjutsu was only the beginning.

Several others had joined the fray:

Second Hokage, Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage, Nagato, and Madara.

Each one was a force to be reckoned with.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Naruto, in his Sage Mode enhanced fox state, used his massive tails to destroy the trees while blocking Uchiha Madara's Fire Style with huge chakra arms.

Meanwhile, the Second and Fourth Hokage, with their mastery of the Flying Thunder God, easily moved around the battlefield.

"Raikage! You follow the Fourth Hokage! Mizukage! You deal with Second Hokage!" Tsunade ordered after being blown back by Shinra Tensei and steadying herself.

Nagato's abilities were well-known, with his primary techniques involving manipulating repulsion and gravity.

Tsunade teamed up with Guy to keep him occupied.

"I apologize in advance, Hokage," Nagato said with a tinge of regret.

"I'll try to warn you before I attack."

During the exchange, Konan had informed Nagato of what had transpired after his death.

His life was one big giant lie, as he was manipulated. As for the plan of Obito, he now knew that it was just fake.

Nagato, burdened by guilt, sought atonement.

Yet, he was now a puppet of Orochimaru, forced to fight once more.

Inside the Allied Command, with the departure of several Kages, Nara Shikaku had assumed command.

Through his network of perception ninjas and communicators, he had a rough idea of the situation on the battlefield.

But there was one glaring issue-they were outmatched.

The enemy's high-level combat strength was overwhelming, and with the mobility of Second and Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God, even sealing the enemies was a monumental

challenge. And Orochimaru hadn't even made his move yet.

Shikaku turned to Yamanaka Inoichi, his old partner.

"Where is Colt and his team?"

"They've dealt with the White Zetsus and the army of reanimated corpses. They're heading toward the main battlefield now," Inoichi replied.

"That's good," Shikaku sighed in relief.

"Tell them to hurry and support Tsunade-sama."

Back on the battlefield, Orochimaru and the Ten-Tails had merged into a massive white sphere, which was slowly shrinking.

His transformation into the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki was nearing completion.

Madara looked on expectantly, secretly hoping that Orochimaru would fail.

The Ten Tails was not easily overcome.

If he had the slightest hesitation in his heart, Orochimaru would fall short.

What Madara didn't realize was that Orochimaru's thirst for longevity and ninjutsu far outweighed any pain or struggle.

Madara's pursuit of peace paled in comparison to Orochimaru's twisted goals.

With his heavily modified body, Orochimaru could withstand levels of pain that no other

shinobi could bear.

Tsunade watched the battlefield unfold with sharp focus.

Although the situation looked grim, there was a loophole in Orochimaru's orders that they

could exploit.

While Hashirama continued to attack, none of his techniques were meant to kill.

His Wood Style was mainly for control, draining chakra but not putting anyone's life in

immediate danger.

Both the Second and Fourth Hokage loudly announced their intentions before using the Flying Thunder God, calling out their positions before they struck.

"Kakashi-sensei! Can you break that orb?" Naruto asked, his voice filled with urgency as he observed Orochimaru's sphere.

Kakashi stared at the ominous ball in the sky.

"We'll have to try!" Together, he and Naruto launched a combined attack, with Naruto using

the Tailed Beast Bomb and Kakashi warping space with Kamui.

But their efforts had no effect.

The orb absorbed the attack like a bottomless pit.

"Damn it!"

As Kakashi analyzed the situation, Sasuke moved into action, his purple Susanoo drawing back its bow with a black-flame-coated arrow aimed directly at Orochimaru.

"Naruto, get ready! We'll attack together!" Sasuke called out.

Naruto, surprised by Sasuke's sudden cooperation, smiled.

"You've really changed, Sasuke."

"Don't get it twisted, idiot!" Sasuke snapped.

"Orochimaru is my enemy too. We have no other choice."

Naruto grinned, despite Sasuke's gruff response.

His enormous Nine Tails form opened its mouth, gathering a Tailed Beast Bomb infused with

Sage Chakra.

The Fourth Hokage, mid-battle, glanced toward his son and Sasuke.

A proud smile spread across his face.

"Naruto has grown so much. Kushina would be overjoyed to see this."

"Let's do this, Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.

"Right!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As soon as the attacks charged to their full potential, Sasuke's Amaterasu-coated arrow and

Naruto's Tailed Beast Bomb flew towards the orb in perfect synchronization.

Madara, toying with the Allied Forces, glanced over and chuckled to himself.

"Impressive. These kids are almost as strong as I was in my prime."

The attacks soared through the sky, converging toward the orb that held Orochimaru and the

Ten-Tails.
