This person, Itachi Uchiha… had no decency.
When facing reanimated ninjas, after so many years, everyone had grown accustomed to the standard strategy: send a powerful fighter to tie them up, then seal the reanimation to stop their actions.
But this guy actually had other ideas, like having his crow fly a thousand li to kill the caster. Such an idea was very un-ninja-like.
Orochimaru subconsciously wanted to relinquish control of Dan Kato and flee to the Land of Wind immediately. However, Itachi's words about Tsunade made the soul body can't help but sigh with emotion. "As expected of Itachi-kun, you really guessed it…"
Orochimaru did indeed want to see Tsunade.
He had originally selected the best vessel for his Living Corpse Reincarnation, Kimimaro Kaguya. However, this white-haired youth was suffering from a Kekkei Genkai illness, and with the current level of medical technology in the ninja world, only Tsunade could treat it.
The reason he had sent out Dan Kato was not only to act as bait to lure Itachi Uchiha's group into the Land of Rain and the Hidden Rain Village, thereby provoking a direct conflict between Itachi's squad and the Akatsuki.
But also, Orochimaru wanted Itachi to pass a message to Konoha.
Tsunade's lover, Dan Kato, had been revived by his Edo Tensei.
Tsunade and Jiraiya would certainly not miss out on intelligence regarding the pursuit of their former teammate, Orochimaru. At that time, it would attract Tsunade to come personally, and maybe they could even have a little class reunion.
However, what Orochimaru didn't know was that Tsunade would once again miss the opportunity to see the person she longed for in her heart. That old woman had already taken leave from Konoha and was heading to the Land of Waves. There, she would re-experience the family education of the great strategist Tobirama from her childhood…
For a person in her forties or fifties to still be able to receive her grand-uncle's education was also a rare opportunity…
"Itachi-kun, why don't you try to guess again…"
The soul body, completely unconcerned about the loss of spiritual energy, laughed softly. "Why would I send out Jonin Dan Kato, who is skilled in the Spirit Transformation Technique…"
"The location of Dan-senpai's body… is a trap!"
Itachi Uchiha's expression changed abruptly. In Orochimaru's current reanimated army, according to the battle reports from the past few years, there was at least the Third Raikage, the Second Tsuchikage, and the Third Kazekage…
Even in a three-on-three fight, Kisame Hoshigaki, Might Guy, and Yamato might not be their match, not to mention their opponents were Kage-level figures with immortal bodies and infinite chakra!
"You guessed right… Itachi-kun! A big surprise is hidden there!"
A cruel smile appeared on the soul body's face. "The moment I realized Dan Kato's betrayal, I had already dispatched Kabuto to the location of his main body to retrieve my materials…"
"To avoid any accidents, I specially prepared a powerful ninja as Kabuto's guard, someone powerful beyond your imagination…"
Before Itachi Uchiha could hear the rest of his words, he had already spread his wings, shot back into the room, casually grabbed the slumbering crow and stuffed it into his backpack, and then rapidly chased after Kisame and the others.
Dan Kato's soul body blocked Itachi's path, preventing him from leaving. "I'm sorry, my body is not under my control. If you can, please destroy my soul as quickly as possible…"
His Spirit Transformation Technique could appear anywhere at any time, posing a mortal threat to any member of Itachi Uchiha's squad!
"I'm sorry, Dan-senpai…"
A ball of black flame was clenched in Itachi Uchiha's palm. The flame transformed into a small, young dragon in his hand. "Sage Art: Blaze Release: Yin Fire Dragon!"
With a push of Itachi's palm, the Yin Fire Dragon instantly expanded! The giant black flame dragon shot towards Dan Kato, fiercely tearing at his soul body!
To counter the Spirit Transformation Technique, only a jutsu that could affect the soul could be used for an attack! Blaze Release, born from the flames of Amaterasu and formed by the combination of Yin and Fire Release chakra, was勉强 considered the bane of the Spirit Transformation Technique…
Within the pitch-black flames, the light of the soul body gradually extinguished. A look of relief appeared on Dan Kato's face. "It's alright… You are the new seeds of Konoha…"
"Where the leaves of Konoha dance, one shall find flames…"
"The fire's light will illuminate the village…"
"And let the new seeds sprout…"
"I'm truly sorry, Dan-senpai… My will is no longer the Will of Fire…"
The young Jonin heard the words uttered by Dan Kato before his soul dissipated. He turned his head to look at the bright moonlight and said, "Although it is still completely changed, and even I cannot recognize its form… it can lead me, and lead Konoha, to a better future!"
The border of the Land of Rain.
On the ground was a pile of ashes, the remains of Dan Kato's reanimated body, which had now completely turned to dust along with the dissipation of his soul.
Someone pushed up his glasses and looked at the ninja from his hometown opposite him. "Might Guy, hand over the box and scroll in your hand!"
"Kabuto Yakushi…"
Yamato's expression relaxed slightly. He turned his head and said in a low voice to the tense Might Guy beside him, "Guy-senpai, don't worry. I remember he used to be a Genin from our village who later defected to Orochimaru…"
Fortunately, they had arrived in time…
Before Kabuto arrived, they had managed to snatch a scroll and a box from Dan Kato's remains. It should be the materials Dan had mentioned, capable of reanimating a powerful ninja.
Might Guy said in surprise, "Huh? He's from our village?"
"…He was… before. I'll take him down and interrogate him for information!" Yamato decisively formed a hand seal, his arm suddenly extending outwards. "Wood Style: Great Forest Technique!"
"Wood Style? Interesting…"
Kabuto Yakushi paid no mind to the attacking wooden branches. Instead, he laughed out loud. Then his expression suddenly turned solemn, and his hands began to form hand seals at high speed. "Summoning Jutsu!"
A coffin surged out from the ground…
A figure leaped out of the coffin, landing in front of Kabuto Yakushi. His hands suddenly clapped together. "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
On the barren land, a vast forest suddenly grew… The trees of the forest grew rapidly under the control of chakra…
Although Yamato and the others were the ones who had launched the attack first, they were forced into a defensive position by the movements of the trees in the forest!
"Does that guy have a reanimated person with him?"
Might Guy sent a kick flying, shattering a large tree that was constantly squeezing their living space. However, more branches and trunks immediately swarmed towards them!
An ugly expression appeared on Yamato's face, and sweat trickled down his cheeks. "And… that reanimated person… is our village's First Hokage…"
"The God of Shinobi… Hashirama Senju?"
Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively caressed the two Flying Thunder God seals on Samehada. One was placed there by Tobirama Senju, and the other was added by Kitahara. As long as he stimulated them with chakra, he would attract the attention of the seals' owners.
In this situation, he didn't know if getting the God of Shinobi's little brother involved would be of any use. If that didn't work, his only option was to risk waking up the great Lord Kitahara!
