Naruto: I have Ten Skill Bars

Chapter 468 - 467: Revival of the Fallen Kage

One ninja after another appeared before him.

A faint smile flickered across Shinji's eyes. In the next moment, the power of the Rinnegan erupted, and the fallen ninjas were brought back to life one after another.

Using the power of the Rinnegan to revive the dead.

The resurrected ninjas slowly opened their eyes, confusion written all over their faces. Many of their memories were still frozen at the moment of death, yet now they stood alive once more.

Some scratched their heads, unable to process what had just happened.

Shinji had no intention of explaining anything. He simply raised his hand, and the green sphere of light dispersed instantly.

In that instant, he took control of all of them.

The previously noisy crowd fell silent.

From among them, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, stepped forward.

"Lord," he said, "shall we depart?"

Shinji frowned slightly and looked at him. "What? You seem rather eager."

"Do you want to go to Kirigakure that badly?"

Tobirama shook his head. "No. I simply wish to see what the village has become in this era."

Although they were under control, they still retained their own will and awareness. However, everything ultimately revolved around Shinji. His will came first.

Looking at Tobirama's enthusiasm, Shinji felt quite satisfied.

These shinobi of the current era were far from weak. In fact, they were even stronger than the most powerful subordinates from his previous clan.

He had not expected that controlling a single ninja could bring such tremendous gains.

With these forces at his disposal, Shinji was confident that even someone like Shigure, the existence that made Black Zetsu deeply wary, would no longer be a threat.

The tailed beasts already belonged entirely to him.

"Achoo!"

At that moment, Shigure sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Is someone talking about me?

He shook his head, not bothering to dwell on it, and turned to look ahead.

Rain was currently falling within the Land of Fire.

With the help of his summoned cloud pigeons, he had finally located Neji Hyūga.

However, Neji was seriously injured. He had concealed his presence carefully, hiding inside a cave and setting up multiple defensive measures to block entry, preventing even the pigeons from getting inside.

Shigure stood at the cave entrance.

"Neji!"

"Are you there?"

"It's me, Shigure!"

He called out several times, but there was no response. Without hesitation, he stepped inside.

The moment he entered, a barrage of kunai shot toward him, each one attached to explosive tags.

A pre-set trap.

The kunai passed straight through Shigure's body and flew out of the cave before detonating.

Shigure continued walking forward.

In the dim corner of the cave, Neji sat slumped against the wall.

Blood soaked his chest, and he had already lost consciousness.

Shigure paused for a moment. "Passed out…?"

The injuries were severe.

Frowning, he raised his hand and activated a Water Release healing technique. Streams of water flowed toward Neji, gradually restoring his wounds.

As Neji's condition stabilized slightly, his eyes slowly opened.

"When the rain… it's you…"

Shigure sighed. "I've treated your physical injuries, but your chakra and mental exhaustion will take time to recover."

Neji had clearly overused his Byakugan, pushing himself far beyond his limits.

"Konoha… what happened? And the rest of the Hyūga clan…"

Shigure fell silent.

There was no way to explain it here.

"You'll understand once you return."

"I'm taking you to Kirigakure. Someone there will explain everything."

Without giving Neji time to respond, Shigure lifted him and left for the Hidden Mist Village.

At the same time, Shinji and his resurrected army were also advancing toward Kirigakure.

Meanwhile, the shinobi forces from the three great villages, who had arrived earlier, had already regrouped.

Although each village had only sent a few thousand shinobi, the combined force had reached nearly ten thousand.

A small but elite shinobi army.

Such a force was more than enough to destroy an entire nation.

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, stood at the forefront, accompanied by Kankurō.

Beside them was Sasori, now controlling the puppet body of the Third Kazekage.

Gaara's strength had fully reached the Kage level.

Kankurō was not far behind, and after adapting to the Third Kazekage's body, Sasori had become even more formidable than before.

The Sunagakure forces had dispatched more than three thousand shinobi.

The weakest among them were all chūnin-level combatants, making this an elite force.

"Lord Kazekage arrived quite early."

The Fourth Raikage, A, spoke as he approached with Darui and the Kumogakure forces.

Kumogakure had only brought two thousand shinobi. Although fewer in number than Sunagakure, every single one of them possessed strength at least comparable to a special jōnin.

Soon after, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, arrived as well, leading nearly six thousand Iwagakure shinobi.

The lowest among them were also at the chūnin level.

Iwagakure might lack in other aspects, but it never lacked manpower.

With the three Kage gathered, such a scene would have been unimaginable in the past. Yet now, the three great villages had united to attack Kirigakure.

Although the Kage themselves remained composed, the shinobi they led could not help but feel uneasy.

"Are we really going to attack Kirigakure?"

"Even with all three great villages working together, our chances of victory don't seem high…"

"Kirigakure now possesses all the jinchūriki except the Nine-Tails. Can we really win?"

Hearing the doubts of their subordinates, the expressions of the three Kage darkened.

These concerns were not without reason, but hesitation would only interfere with their master, Shinji Ōtsutsuki.

The three Kage immediately began to reprimand their forces.

The Fourth Raikage glanced over the crowd. "There's no need to worry. Someone will deal with Kirigakure. With the combined strength of our three villages, victory is certain."

"We also have… allies."

"Allies?"

The shinobi exchanged confused glances.

What kind of allies?

In the next instant, space distorted.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was activated.

A figure appeared in a flash.

The moment they saw him, the Kumogakure shinobi froze.

"Th-Third Raikage-sama?!"

The Third Raikage stood before them.

For a brief moment, the entire Kumogakure force fell silent, and then erupted into an uproar.

"I'm not seeing things, right…?"

Before their shock could settle, another figure appeared.

The Second Tsuchikage, Mū.

Now it was the turn of the Iwagakure shinobi to be thrown into chaos.

But it did not end there.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, appeared next.

Gaara's eyes widened in shock.

He could clearly sense it.

These were not reanimated corpses.

They were alive.

Truly alive.

People who had long since died were now standing before them, breathing as if nothing had ever happened.

How was this possible?

What exactly was going on?
