"I never thought that after all this, the old man would become your greatest enemy!"
Even though he could do nothing about being reincarnated by the Edo Tensei, seeing the wounded Konoha's Ninjas still made the Third Hokage frown uncomfortably, 'This time, how many people would lose their fathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, and children because of me?'
"Sakura, this old man has already become Konoha's enemy. Come on, just as I taught you in the past, don't hold back!"
"Don't worry, old man. He won't hold back!"
'He? Which he?'
'Had new Kage-level strongmen emerged in Konoha during the time since my death?'
Sakura assumed a charging stance. The Flying Thunder God kunai she had thrown behind the five blocking Kage earlier, the space-time anchor points they connected, helped her instantly cross the defense line.
The several reincarnated Kage turned abruptly, wanting to block Sakura, but behind them, their respective enemies had also come calling.
The Fourth Raikage, using the extreme speed of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, crashed into the Third Raikage. Gaara, using sand to form a drill from beneath the ground, pierced the Fourth Kazekage. Naruto formed hand seals, gathering Natural Energy to grab the Second Tsuchikage. And Sasuke manipulated the storm to smash into the Second Mizukage.
As for the space before Hiruzen, Itachi, once again wearing the Uchiha robe and donning Konoha's forehead protector, manipulated his Susanoo to raise the Sword of Totsuka and stab it fiercely at his head.
"You... I see. This is good too!"
Although his body, under the enemy's control, dodged the attack, the Third Hokage still showed a gratified smile upon seeing Itachi's current attire.
"I'll leave him to you, Itachi!" Sakura, running, turned back and waved at Itachi.
Let heroes check heroes, let good men check good men. Among all the Ninjas present, there was probably no one more ruthless against the Third Hokage than Itachi.
'Old man, you're on your own... oh no, rest in peace.'
Leaving the battle behind her, Sakura's purpose was clear: heading straight for Obito, or more precisely, for the culprit behind the scenes beside him who finally dared to appear before her again… Black Zetsu!
Seeing Sakura rapidly approaching, Obito thought she was coming for him. He excitedly pulled out the Uchiha Clan's ancestral war fan from behind him.
"Well, come and fight, Haruno Sakura!"
"Don't get in my way. Divine Departure——!"
Dark thunder leaped on Sakura's giant sword. The great sword, wrapped in two Haki, stamped itself onto Obito's war fan.
The war fan, which was originally capable of reflecting all Ninjutsu, instantly shattered under the extreme violence.
His face behind the mask turned pale. The ferocious giant strength, capable of lifting an island and further amplified by both Haki and Chakra, nearly twisted space itself.
Obito's body folded like a piece of paper and shot violently away.
"You've finally appeared. What should I call you? Zetsu? Or the will of Otsutsuki Kaguya?"
Steam wreathed around the girl's body, revealing her ferocious appearance. Her unbounded Haki ignited by her violent spirit locked onto every movement of Black Zetsu, making him dare not make any move in front of Sakura.
"What are you saying? I am Madara-sama's will!"
The corners of Black Zetsu's usually upturned mouth sank. He squeezed out the Chakra of the White Zetsu he was possessing, slapping three summoning runes into the void.
A massive smoke screen erupted. Three coffins appeared between him and Sakura, giving Black Zetsu a chance to breathe. He turned into a puddle of liquid and escaped by burrowing underground.
"Bastard, don't run!"
Sakura unleashed a vast sword energy stretching a thousand miles, but it was blocked by several figures that rushed out of the shattered coffins, working together.
"Oh my? It seems I've caused you trouble again. I'm sorry, junior! And Tobirama, I told you not to..."
"Big brother, shut up!"
"We've finally waited for this day. It seems Nagato has grown up too. Hmm? Hashirama!"
The three figures that walked out of the smoke were precisely the three pillars who had supported Konoha in becoming its strongest at the village's founding.
—Uchiha Madara! Senju Hashirama! Senju Tobirama!
"Again?" Sakura's face fell into a scowl, her entire body written with the word 'willing'!
"Sakura, don't be careless. I feel that our strength is unusual this time!"
Under the control of the Edo Tensei technique, Tobirama raised his finger, instantly laying down several Flying Thunder God formations, transferring himself without any hesitation or stutter.
"Hmph, boring. It's not like I'm fighting you, you bastard!"
Madara looked at his Edo Tensei body and secretly guessed that Obito had probably run into trouble to have summoned him like this.
"After I've dealt with these dregs, I'll definitely have the technique user release his control over you, and then I'll fight you..."
Before Madara finished speaking, the severed halves of Tobirama's body, wrapped in Haki, violently smashed into him and Hashirama.
"What?" Chakra flowed between his beliefs. Deep blue Susanoo ribs enveloped him and Hashirama.
The flowing, blazing Haki violently collided with it. The power of internal destruction blasted cracks even in the Susanoo's ribs.
"Heh, I advise you not to underestimate our junior!" Hashirama, also under control, raised his finger to release Wood Release and laughed loudly.
"Hmph, a power of this level, brat, state your name! You are worthy of being remembered by me!" Madara, arms crossed, also erupted with powerful Chakra to resist Sakura's Conqueror's Haki.
"Old men who've already passed away, take one of my moves first before asking my name!"
Amidst her bold laughter, Sakura abandoned the weapon boost of her cloud rope and instead used her fists to smash violently into Madara's Susanoo.
Her fists, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, incorporated techniques from Mermaid Jujutsu and Fish-Man Karate. The Sakura-style Taijutsu that had once struck Kaido down from the sky was now recreated in this Ninja World.
—Sakura Blossom Impact: Crimson Lotus!
Powerful Chakra mixed with Haki danced wildly. The girl's pink fist thus effortlessly tore through Susanoo's defense and smashed directly into Madara's face.
Boom!!!
Amidst the spinning sky and earth, Madara's body was physically beaten into pieces.
Meanwhile, Hashirama's wooden spear had already been assembled, but due to Kabuto's control, he couldn't call out a warning. His face was now full of anxiety.
"Wood Release: Higanbana Manifestation!"
Sakura's Observation Haki had already locked onto the trajectory of his attack. After punching Madara away, she suddenly turned. The Wood Release Chakra in her body surged, creating a large field of flowers on the ground, firmly controlling all the plants within range.
The wooden spear, its control authority seized, suddenly rebelled. Before it could shoot forward, it reversed its tip and pierced through Hashirama.
"Hahaha, well done!" Hashirama, smashed to the ground in two pieces, laughed heartily.
And Tobirama, who had been the first to be cut in half, completed his repair. Using the Flying Thunder God Formation, he pulled Madara's remnants and Hashirama's upper body out of Sakura's flower field, giving the two time to recover.
Madara, who had barely re-formed his head, looked up. His crimson Sharingan perceived the cycle of Wood Release Chakra connecting Sakura's body with the surrounding earth. A look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
'No wonder that bastard Hashirama looked so excited. So she's a descendant of the Senju.'
"Senju brat, I'll ask you one more time. What is your name?"
"Haruno Sakura!!!"
