After the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, finished speaking...
The group chat instantly erupted in laughter.
[Pretending-to-be-Young Old Lady]:
Onoki, didn't you claim your strength was unrivaled? You said that when the Five Kage tead up against Uchiha Madara, we still needed your command to win.
Well then, since you were the commander, shouldn't you have created the opportunity to use that move yourself?
[Childish Brat, Not as Good as Lady Tsunade]:
Old hag! You're actually making sense for once! @Third Tsuchikage Onoki — Your skin really is thick, huh!
[Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen]:
Can I tell a joke too? Onoki claid to be fighting for the sake of his village, yet he kept such a powerful technique hidden and never used it. Hilarious.
This ti...
It was Onoki's turn for his expression to darken.
He could tolerate mockery from others to so extent.
But when it was Sarutobi Hiruzen—soone he had constantly ridiculed—now using the opportunity to throw shade back at him, it made him fu with frustration...
The footage continued.
[Onoki flew above Uchiha Madara's head, showing no fear this ti.]
[Tsunade released her Yin Seal, relying on regenerative powers close to Hashirama's to go head-to-head with Madara.]
[The revived morale of the Five Kage made Madara feel so pressure—he had to use a shadow clone to evade a sealing technique.]
[At last, Madara got serious and summoned 25 Wood Style clones.]
[Each clone activated Susanoo.]
[The battle shifted from 5-on-1 to 5-on-25 in an instant.]
[Each Kage now had to face five Susanoo-clad Madaras. The Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Kazekage were quickly knocked down.]
Group Chat:
[Pretending-to-be-Young Old Lady @ Childish Brat]:
See now? Can you finally recognize the gap between our strengths?
[Childish Brat, Not as Good as Lady Tsunade]:
Tch! Old hag! The only reason you're stronger than is because you're waaay older! When you were as young as I am now, you definitely weren't this strong!
[Pretending-to-be-Young Old Lady]:
You childish brat! Even if you reach my age, you still won't surpass ! That's the difference between us.
Just monts ago, they were agreeing with each other.
Now they were back at each other's throats in the group chat.
The footage continued.
[Tsunade's Creation Rebirth technique was reaching its limit.]
[The Fourth Raikage was trapped in one of Madara's genjutsu, but Onoki saved him just in ti.]
[The Five Kage once again faced utter despair.]
[Once again, it was Onoki who stood tall and declared: "Get up, Kage."]
["We must win this battle. It's the will of every ninja entrusted to us."]
[The remaining four Kage stood behind Onoki, launching one final desperate assault.]
[Tsunade transferred her remaining chakra to Onoki.]
[He unleashed an ultra-wide-scale Dust Release: Detachnt of the Primitive World Technique.]
[The massive cubic blast obliterated all 25 Susanoo-clad clones and even destroyed half of Madara's body.]
Group Chat:
[Third Tsuchikage Onoki]:
Did you all see that?! In the end, it was still up to !
[Pretending-to-be-Young Old Lady]:
If I hadn't given you my last bit of chakra, you wouldn't have been able to use that technique at all!
[Uchiha Madara]:
Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! You five tead up and still couldn't beat . Instead of feeling ashad, you're bickering like children? Absolutely pathetic.
[Uchiha Izuna]:
Nii-san! Don't say it like that. Even if they had all the Five Kage plus the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, they still wouldn't be your match!
[Uchiha 3.5-dan Madara]:
Onii-chan! You really do get the most!
[First Hokage Hashirama Senju @ Uchiha Madara]:
Madara! What about ?
[Uchiha Madara]:
Hashirama~! Don't be like that. You and I go way back! Hahaha!
[First Hokage Hashirama Senju]:
Madara! You're right. We shouldn't be at odds anymore. After all, we did co-found the Hidden Leaf Village together.
[Uchiha Madara]:
Hashirama! Enough already. I know exactly what you're about to say. You don't need to say it again. I won't rest until I achieve my goal!
Pure Land Realm.
Hashirama let out a deep sigh.
So Madara is really going to start the Fourth Great Ninja War?
From the footage…
During the Fourth Great War, countless ninja were killed.
And now, it seed that the abilities of well-known ninja had been enhanced across the board.
This ant that if the Fourth War really broke out again, the bloodshed and sacrifices would be even more catastrophic.
The footage continued.
[The Fifth Mizukage and Fourth Raikage seized the mont to launch a Lightning-Water Dragon Bullet at Madara. While Madara could absorb ninjutsu, Gaara had secretly mixed in sealing tags and sand into the attack.]
[Madara was caught off guard by the sealing formation—it looked like it was finally going to work.]
[Onoki smirked and said, "See? This is the full power of the Five Kage."]
At this point in the footage, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki was once again getting full of himself in the group chat.
Everyone turned their attention to the screen, eager to see who would appear next on the rankings.
[Combined Kage Rankings – 6th Place: Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki!]
[His summoning beast "Mirage Clam" can cast massive-scale genjutsu (Mirage Mirage no Jutsu). He possesses high-lethality Water Style jutsu and can nullify physical attacks using a special oil-based Water Release. His ultimate technique "Steaming Danger Tyranny" once severely injured the Second Tsuchikage.]
[He and the Second Tsuchikage were arch-rivals and perished together in their final battle.]
[He followed the Second Hokage Tobirama's example by establishing a covert ops unit, but implented a more conservative policy.]
[He founded the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist and made them the direct elite under the Mizukage, emphasizing the legacy of their blades to strengthen the village's future.]
[Reward: Ultimate technique's explosion power increased by 100 tis!]
Group Chat:
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki]:
Hahaha! I thought being dead ant I wouldn't make the rankings! Not only did I make it, I'm ranked sixth! Not bad at all!
[Childish Brat, Not as Good as Lady Tsunade]:
Congratulations, Lord Second Mizukage!
[Hatake Kakashi]:
He was already strong enough to take the Second Tsuchikage down with him before the power boost. Now with his technique boosted 100 tis? Who can even withstand that?
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki]:
Hahaha! Who dares ss with now? One hit from my ultimate technique and they're done!
[Second Tsuchikage Mu]:
Why are you acting all smug? You're in the Pure Land like the rest of us. You can't even revive yourself right now. Who's supposed to be afraid of you?
Gengetsu froze.
Right.
He hadn't been revived yet—so who would be afraid of him?
Hashirama, Tobirama, Madara, and the others had all passed away as well.
But people still feared them.
Why?
Because...
Uchiha Madara had already acquired a Revival Token.
And he even promised to help Hashirama Senju co back to life.
No one doubted this.
After all, Nagato had revived many Leaf Village shinobi instantly.
That was all thanks to the Rinnegan Madara gave him.
Now that Madara had returned, using the Rinnegan to revive Hashirama would be effortless.
As for the Second Hokage, Tobirama, he could rely on Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu).
As the creator of the technique, he had certainly discovered a way to release or reverse it.
[Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki]:
There's still so much blank space left on the scroll. With my strength, I could appear on other rankings too. So who's to say I won't be revived?
His words left everyone deep in thought.
He had a point.
This was only the second ranking list.
There were still so many unexplored sections on the scroll.
aning many more rankings were yet to co.
The future... really was unpredictable.
