On the other side, after listening to Hashirama’s story, Sasuke already had his answer in his heart. He was determined to reform this world, but the first step was to end the war.
The Third Hokage, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and others rushed to the battlefield. However, it wasn't just Sasuke and his companions heading to the battlefield; Jiraiya and others, who had been healed by Tsunade, were also there. Nagato's seal was removed by Jiraiya using Sage Mode.
The final battle was about to begin.
…
First, the former Hokages arrived on the battlefield. Hiruzen Sarutobi was greatly surprised to see Minato and Kushina, realizing that someone else had been resurrected using Edo Tensei.
Minato forcibly activated Nine-Tails Mode, becoming as radiant as Naruto. After all, the Nine-Tails had been split and sealed by Minato, one Yin and one Yang.
After a brief introduction, the four Hokages got acquainted. The ninja alliance present also learned that the previous Hokages had arrived, instantly boosting their fighting spirit.
"Ninjutsu: Four Violet Flames Formation!"
The four Hokages simultaneously used the Four Violet Flames Formation, completely sealing the Ten-Tails. Madara intended to fight Hashirama, but Hashirama merely sent a few Wood Style clones. Madara had no choice but to sit on the ground and observe.
"Sage Art: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Hashirama clapped his hands and immediately entered Sage Mode. The Deep Forest Emergence descended from the sky, binding the Ten-Tails’ body.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Kushina also wouldn't stand idle. She immediately extended several chains from her body, firmly binding the Ten-Tails. Li Xing's Edo Tensei significantly enhanced his strength, and these chains were several times thicker than before.
Hashirama opened a gap in the barrier, allowing everyone to deal with the Ten-Tails' core.
At this moment, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and the others also arrived on the battlefield. They stood with Naruto and even boasted about becoming Hokage.
Just as all the ninjas prepared to attack, the Ten-Tails split into countless small clones from its body, preventing the ninja alliance from getting close.
Suddenly, Li Xing descended from the sky, crushing several Ten-Tails clones on the spot.
"Star Lord!"
"Li Xing!"
Karin and Yugito immediately flew to Li Xing's side. Konan also arrived with them.
"Li Xing, this won't do. I need your help." Konan asked Li Xing to help deal with the Ten-Tails, but Karin looked at Konan with a meaningful smile.
"It's only been a short while, and you've added another one," Yugito said resentfully, looking at Li Xing.
Li Xing carefully observed his surroundings and finally saw Neji's corpse. He couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm sorry, I need to complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi. There are some people I truly wish to see. You all go to the other side. After the Infinite Tsukuyomi ends, I will take you away."
Li Xing pushed the three away with a palm, sending them towards the ninja alliance. Konan looked at Li Xing in bewilderment. Someone like Li Xing still needed to see people? And would everything be restored after the Infinite Tsukuyomi ended?
"Li Xing! How can you be here! Where are Pervert Sage and Granny Tsunade? How are they?" Naruto was greatly shocked by Li Xing's appearance. Wasn't Li Xing being held back by Pervert Sage and the others?
Li Xing ignored Naruto and instantly appeared beside Neji's corpse, throwing Neji's body into the Imperial Space.
"Damn it! Give back Neji's body!" Naruto angrily charged at Li Xing but was stopped by Sasuke. The priority was the Ten-Tails.
"Li Xing-kun, how could you… Aren't you Naruto's friend?" Minato looked confused at this scene. What was going on? It seemed like Naruto and Li Xing weren't on the same side.
Li Xing looked at Madara, then at the Ten-Tails. It seemed about time. He clapped his hands and began to furiously infuse the Ten-Tails with chakra. Li Xing wanted to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi early. Ever since he saw Kushina, Li Xing had been impatient.
"What… what is happening?"
Everyone felt the ground shake and sensed that something bad was about to happen.
Karin and Yugito decided not to interfere anymore. Seeing the melancholic look in Li Xing's eyes, both of them made their choice and decided to stand by Li Xing's side.
Konan felt very distressed looking at Li Xing, but she suddenly remembered what Li Xing had said before. Perhaps Li Xing was right; true peace in the world didn't exist.
At this moment, three people defected to Li Xing's side, leaving Naruto stunned. Why was this happening?
"Everyone in the ninja alliance! Let's go together! Demon Slayer Corps! Star Pillar, Fifth Hokage Tsunade's disciple, Li Xing! I declare war on all of you!"
Li Xing stopped infusing chakra, stepped onto a rock, and shouted his declaration of war.
"This child is Little Tsunade's disciple? Then why is he doing this?" Hashirama was shocked. He wanted to help but had to maintain the Four Violet Flames Formation and couldn't disengage.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Tobirama decided to use a shadow clone to deal with this brat, Li Xing. However, only two shadow clones appeared. Claiming to be Tsunade's disciple was undoubtedly tarnishing the Senju clan's reputation.
"Is no one stepping forward? Then, I will make the first move!"
"Infinite Domain!"
Seeing that no one was acting, Li Xing clapped his hands and put Karin, Yugito, and Konan inside. To avoid making things difficult for them, this was the only way.
"Sun Breathing…"
Li Xing held his Nichirin Blade in one hand, resting it on his shoulder. He exhaled a turbid breath, and with each inhale and exhale, the surrounding temperature began to rise.
Ino looked at Li Xing and pointed her hands at him: "I'm sorry, Xing, this time, I have to stand on the opposite side of you. Even though I'm not your opponent, I will challenge you!"
"Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
"First Form, Whirlwind!"
Li Xing swung his blade, and a flame streaked out, illuminating the entire battlefield. However, this slash was aimed at a clone of the Ten-Tails.
Ino controlled Li Xing with her Mind Transfer Jutsu. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to save everyone in the ninja alliance.
"Ino, you've grown! You can control me for a second now. Although it's because I went easy on you." Li Xing smiled, then glanced at Ino. A hole appeared beneath Ino's feet, and she fell directly into the Infinite Domain, going to watch the stars with Karin and the others.
"Ino!" A surge of anger welled up in the hearts of the Leaf ninjas, especially Naruto, as another comrade had disappeared.
"Li Xing, stop it! Mari is still waiting for you to go back!" Kurenai and Anko suddenly stepped forward, attempting to persuade Li Xing to stop.
"I forgot, there's still you. You all go in too!" Li Xing used the same method and threw Kurenai and Anko inside. Looking around again, Fu and Shizune were also thrown inside.
"Damn it! Li Xing!"
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto shouted and threw a Rasenshuriken. Li Xing slashed sideways with his blade, a blade energy cutting through the sky, and the Rasenshuriken exploded on the spot.
"Where is Obito? Why isn't he out yet! If he doesn't come out soon, I'll wipe out the entire ninja alliance!" Li Xing was anxious because he couldn't see Obito. First, he had to deal with Obito's matter, make Obito realize his mistakes, so that Obito could use Samsara of Heavenly Life to revive the ninja alliance, and then change the objective to fully revive Madara. kuAiδugg
"Brat! I will eliminate you here and now!"
Tobirama threw several kunai, and a shadow clone rushed from the side.
Li Xing's blade cut down Tobirama's shadow clone, and he dodged the kunai with a tilt of his head.
But the next second, Tobirama appeared behind Li Xing with a sword and severed Li Xing's neck.
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
The scene of blood spraying did not occur. Li Xing, with a backhand, cut down Tobirama. He then walked to the head and placed it back on his neck. The wound healed instantly.
"I almost forgot you had this move, but it's useless against me."
Seeing that Li Xing could survive being decapitated and reattach his head, everyone was astonished. This was simply immortality. Those in the Leaf who knew of Hidan's abilities were even more surprised; the Li Xing before them was undoubtedly an immortal being far stronger than Hidan.
"This… Li Xing… Who exactly are you!" Naruto looked at Li Xing in bewilderment, as if he had only just met Li Xing today.
