The Hidden Cloud Village had brought forth its First to Fifth Raikage!
The Hidden Mist Village, its First to Fifth Mizukage!
The Hidden Sand Village, its First to Fifth Kazekage!
The Hidden Stone Village, its First to Fourth Tsuchikage!
Even the village with the fewest representatives had four.
And on Konoha's side, there were the First to Third Hokage, and with Sasuke, they also numbered only four.
The samurai of the Land of Iron felt their blood boil as they witnessed such a lineup.
"This is truly unprecedented!"
The samurai exchanged glances, terror reflected in each other's eyes.
So many Kage-level ninjas engaging in combat – an unprecedented battle.
However, what should have been an incredibly chaotic free-for-all revealed a far more serious problem once all the Kage entered.
Their positioning clearly showed a grave issue.
Konoha was undoubtedly at the center.
Yet, the other four directions were occupied by the Hidden Cloud, Hidden Stone, Hidden Mist, and Hidden Sand respectively, and all of them were intently staring at Konoha in the center.
This formation mirrored their positions on the ninja world map.
"Something doesn't look right about this!" a samurai exclaimed.
His companion chuckled, "You're only just noticing?"
"This isn't just 'not right'! This is very wrong!"
"Why does it look like the Kage from the four villages are planning to team up against Konoha?"
"They're all Kage-level ninjas. Would they stoop so low as to abandon their pride as masters?"
Pride.
In the face of absolute interests, there was no such thing as pride.
Moreover, Konoha's strength indeed made the Kage of the four villages extremely wary. Not to mention Sasuke, who instilled great fear in them, the First and Second Hokage were also figures that the other Kage dared not underestimate.
Under these circumstances, it was normal for the four villages to join forces against Konoha.
Furthermore, they had already communicated with each other beforehand!
Everyone watched the scene unfold, and the samurai felt it was somewhat unfair.
The Kage of four villages ganging up on Konoha – on average, it was four against one.
And there were three extra individuals who would also join the fight.
It was almost five against one.
The First Kage of each village stepped forward, their gazes fixed on a single person.
This person was not Sasuke, but the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
For the First Kage, Hashirama was a greater concern than Sasuke.
After all, the First Hokage had suppressed an entire era.
To these First Kage, Hashirama was their inner demon.
And now, the four of them joining forces wanted to see if they could break this inner demon.
"Hashirama!"
"In the same era as you, we were constantly suppressed by you."
"Today, I want to see if you truly deserve to be called the God of Shinobi!"
Although in their time, Hashirama didn't have the title of "God of Shinobi," upon hearing Hashirama's name in this era, the First Kage were somewhat displeased.
After all, this title was obtained by stepping on their heads.
"It seems the four of you intend to join forces against me!"
"Then come at me!"
Hashirama was currently in his peak state; a one-on-four wasn't a particularly difficult challenge for him.
In fact, he didn't think much of it.
Facing four enemies, Hashirama directly took the initiative.
"Wood Style!"
"Deep Forest Emergence!"
Wood Style vines surged forth, bursting from the ground in an instant, and in the next second, began to rapidly entangle the four individuals.
It even directly attacked the other Kage as well.
Hashirama's attack was an indiscriminate one.
However, as people of Konoha, the Second and Third Hokage immediately understood Hashirama's intentions.
If they fought them in an open area, the enemy would have the advantage of numbers, and with a little coordination, their battle situation would become extremely difficult.
Therefore, the first step was to block their line of sight.
Sasuke stood where he was and shook his head helplessly.
For him, whether he could see or not actually made no difference.
Since Hashirama and the others wanted to test their strength against these people, let them take their time!
Sasuke didn't plan to make a move immediately, instead finding a place to sit down and wait quietly.
Within the forest created by the Wood Style, Hashirama's speed was astonishing as he quickly dashed towards the First Kazekage.
The reason he chose the Kazekage as his first target was because the Kazekage back then had greatly angered Hashirama.
Although Hashirama was responsible for mediation at the time, the demands made by the other party were quite unreasonable.
The First Hokage, Hashirama, distributed the Tailed Beasts, and since the Hidden Sand Village already possessed a Tailed Beast, they proposed that Konoha cede fertile land to the Land of Wind, and also receive 30% of the funds from other countries purchasing Tailed Beasts.
Such a demand was nothing short of impudent.
However, Hashirama, for the sake of peace at that time, not only didn't get angry but instead took responsibility for appeasing the Kage of the other villages.
But the Kazekage seemed to believe his strength was formidable.
Today, Hashirama would publicly embarrass him and let this so-called Kazekage see what true power was.
He rapidly arrived in front of the First Kazekage, and at this moment, the Kazekage also seemed to have detected Hashirama's chakra fluctuations.
He directly raised his hand to form a seal, and suddenly, an ancient Wind Style ninjutsu erupted.
Its power was astonishing, instantly pulverizing Hashirama's Wood Style vines.
Then, it swept towards Hashirama.
However, Hashirama was no pushover. He slammed one hand on the ground, instantly summoning a Wood Dragon, which ferociously bit at the Kazekage.
The First Kazekage's gales surged again, and a fierce air cannon blasted the Wood Dragon.
For a moment, it actually blocked the Wood Dragon's offensive.
Seeing that he had successively blocked Hashirama's attacks, the First Kazekage seemed to smile disdainfully.
"It seems the so-called God of Shinobi is nothing more than this!"
"Wood Style that pacified the chaotic world? Wood Style cannot pacify a chaotic world!"
The samurai on the Hidden Sand Village's side were stunned by the scene before them.
They hadn't expected the First Kazekage's strength to be so terrifying; the power of that Wind Style ninjutsu was unprecedentedly astonishing.
They didn't expect that even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, would...
Just as they were thinking this, Hashirama suddenly appeared behind the Kazekage, landing a heavy punch on his face.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the Kazekage was sent flying.
This was the unique monstrous strength of the Senju clan, not something an ordinary ninja could withstand.
The Kazekage's body tumbled rapidly on the ground like a ball, sliding over ten meters.
Hashirama slowly straightened up, retracted his fist, and then stared at the extremely battered Kazekage in the distance.
"Your Wind Style is indeed quite good, Lord Kazekage!"
Punching someone to the ground and then saying their technique is good?
The samurai looked at each other in bewilderment.
This battle seemed even more terrifying than they had imagined. Such a formidable Kazekage was sent flying with a single blow.
Moreover, they hadn't seen at all when the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, had gotten behind his opponent.
Boom!
At that moment, the Wood Dragon descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the Kazekage.
It directly smashed out a huge pit.
Dust rose everywhere!
The billowing dust spread out...
