They also knew that now was the best time to pursue the Nine-Tails.
Without hesitation, Orochimaru and Jiraiya simultaneously sprang into action towards the Nine-Tails, launching an attack on the motionless creature lying prone on the ground.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya's sudden attack stunned those who were originally planning to celebrate.
However, while they were stunned, the Konoha Jonin and Anbu did not. They immediately followed Orochimaru and Jiraiya and launched an attack on the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails, which had been lying motionless on the ground, seemed to sense something. It suddenly opened its eerie eyes, and an ominous red chakra burst forth from its entire body, forming a chakra cloak on its surface.
This chakra cloak has amazing defensive capabilities, directly immunizing it against most ninjutsu attacks.
Even if some ninjutsu broke through the chakra cloak, their power had been greatly weakened, rendering them ineffective against the Nine-Tails.
Therefore, after donning the chakra cloak, Kurama suddenly opened its mouth wide, pointing it at Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
Immediately, a high-density black energy blast began to condense in the Nine-Tails' mouth.
Upon seeing this, Orochimaru and Jiraiya's pupils constricted sharply, instinctively sensing a sense of impending death.
Without any hesitation, Orochimaru immediately used his strongest defensive ninjutsu, namely the Summoning Jutsu - Triple Rashomon.
The Triple Rashomon is a defensive barrier summoned by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to absorb all attacks.
Unfortunately, this absolute defense, which is sufficient for most ninjas, was no match for the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, and it was directly pierced through.
However, this also bought Orochimaru and Jiraiya enough time to escape.
Upon seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox narrowed its eerie eyes slightly.
Kurama has already realized that casting the Triple Rashomon requires a large amount of chakra.
So, how many times can Orochimaru's chakra reserves support this technique?
Without hesitation, Kurama opened its mouth again and condensed another Tailed Beast Ball.
This time, Kurama aimed its Tailed Beast Ball directly at Konoha.
This time, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) will leave the Konoha ninjas with nowhere to hide.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the other Konoha ninjas all turned extremely ugly upon seeing this.
They all saw through Kurama's intentions, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Seeing this, the strangers hiding in the shadows knew that their time to make their appearance had come.
Without hesitation, they emerged from every corner in an instant.
This also means that the dead... have returned!
......
Chapter 643 The Reversed Situation, the Manipulated Nine-Tails?
The power of the Nine-Tailed Beast Ball is evident to all.
Therefore, most of the people present began to despair when faced with the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball aimed at Konoha Village.
Those players who mingled in the crowd and chose to actively participate in this battle also began to despair when faced with that Tailed Beast Ball.
They hadn't expected the Nine-Tails to be this powerful.
Despite the intense battle and the powerful attacks unleashed by the Konoha ninjas, the Nine-Tails suffered almost no damage.
At the same time, they didn't understand why those strangers hadn't appeared when Konoha was already in a crisis.
Could it be that they've misunderstood, and those strangers aren't powerful ancestors who were resurrected like the First and Second Hokage?
Thinking this, they all felt a pang of regret.
If only I had known, I should have chosen to retreat from the very beginning, even if it meant leaving Konoha's camp...
But there's no going back in this world, and even if they regret it, it's too late.
Right now, even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't.
Because the Tailed Beast Ball was already hurtling towards them, its speed and range were so great that they had no way to avoid it.
They could only hope that Jiraiya and Orochimaru, the legendary Sannin, would be able to stop the Tailed Beast Ball, otherwise...
Jiraiya and Orochimaru, on whom they placed their hopes, looked extremely solemn as they watched the Tailed Beast Ball hurtling towards them.
They all knew very well that they did not have a defensive ninjutsu sufficient to stop the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, nor an offensive ninjutsu sufficient to counter it.
But they didn't give up, nor did they despair, because they knew... there was still hope!
At the most critical moment, a series of unfamiliar figures arrived in an instant, and at the same time, a series of powerful offensive and defensive ninjutsu were unleashed, all aimed at the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
These powerful offensive ninjutsu gradually converged into a terrifying torrent of ninjutsu, which suddenly collided with the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
The next moment, it seemed as if the world had lost its sound.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, two extremely powerful forces collided, split, and erupted.
The terrifying shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact, crushing everything in its path into dust, even the hardest rocks.
Then, a deafening crash followed, accompanied by billowing dust.
The Jonin present, even the elite Jonin, had no doubt that the terrifying shockwave that swept in could seriously injure them, or even take their own lives.
Fortunately, the terrifying shockwave was blocked by a series of powerful defensive ninjutsu.
This disaster scene, resembling a small-scale natural catastrophe, was witnessed by many players and members of the Fifth Realm of Truth through the players' live stream.
Without exception, everyone who witnessed this disaster was deeply shocked and filled with unspeakable fear.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails was like a small, mobile nuclear weapon in their eyes, possessing the power to easily destroy a city.
At the same time, they couldn't help but feel curious, wondering what kind of powerful being could withstand the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
Amid their curiosity, those unfamiliar figures entered the live stream's field of vision.
Although most players did not recognize those unfamiliar figures, some eventually did recognize them and, while shocked, couldn't help but chat wildly in the live stream.
"My God, that strange bandaged man covered in bandages, could he be the deceased Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Mu?"
"That's right, he is Wu, and his statue still remains in Rock Shadow Village."
"Wasn't Wu already dead? How could he be in Konoha?"
"Is Mu really that strong? How does he compare to the First Hokage and the Second Hokage?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that Mu was a strategist known for his intrigue and politics. He was skilled in developing ninjutsu and developed the Dust Release, a bloodline limit that surpasses bloodline limits. The current Third Iwakage is Mu's disciple."
......
"Could that person with long blond hair and wearing a high-necked trench coat be the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure—Hozuki Gengetsu!?"
"It really looks like him. Oh my god, didn't he die in the First Shinobi World War?"
"Wait, could the person next to Hozuki Gengetsu be Yagura Karatachi?"
"Am I going crazy, or is the world going crazy? Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why can the dead come back?"
"Yagura Karatachi, I remember that's the name of the Fourth Mizukage."
"That's right, Yagura Karatachi is the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure and also the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails."
......
"Holy crap, could that person be Hanzo the Salamander?"
Who is Hanzo the Salamander?
"No way, you don't even know who Hanzo the Salamander is?"
"Hanzo the Salamander was a legendary ninja who was hailed as a demigod. During his lifetime, he was regarded as the pinnacle of the ninja world and possessed unparalleled water control."
"The title of the Legendary Sannin of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade was bestowed upon them by Hanzo of the Salamander."
......
"Not only have the deceased returned, but they've also joined forces to fight the Nine-Tails! Oh my god, I'm fired up!"
"Go for it! You must defeat the Nine-Tails!"
"You are all my role models, and I believe that I will be able to reach your level in the future!"
"The outcome of this battle is already decided, Nine-Tails, just admit defeat!"
"Ugh, I should have known better than to evacuate! I'm so regretful!"
"Looking forward to the upcoming battle, looking forward to the glorious moment when the predecessors of the ninja world defeated the Nine-Tails with human strength."
......
The returning dead were completely unaware of the players' movements.
After withstanding the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, these returning dead did not hesitate and charged directly at the Nine-Tails.
They all knew that even if they possessed all the power they had in their previous lives, they would still be no match for the Nine-Tails.
However, they were not fighting alone, but side by side.
Among them, some were enemies in life, but now they have become comrades who know each other best and cooperate with each other perfectly. This feeling is very peculiar.
Although the Nine-Tails is strong, it was put on the defensive and forced to retreat steadily when faced with the combined strength of these powerful individuals who had all surpassed Kage level in their previous lives and possessed unlimited chakra.
But the Nine-Tails showed no intention of retreating, roaring repeatedly and launching powerful counterattacks from time to time.
Upon seeing this, the various Kage who had returned from the Impure World Reincarnation all noticed the abnormality.
They all began to suspect that the Nine-Tails was being manipulated, which was why it was acting so aggressively.
However, as far as they knew, it seemed that only one person in the ninja world could control the Nine-Tails...
......
Chapter 644 The Person Who Feared the Nine-Tailed Fox
Madara Uchiha, this extremely powerful man, once manipulated the Nine-Tails to fight Hashirama Senju in the legendary final battle at the Valley of the End during his lifetime.
They all knew that Madara Uchiha had been resurrected by Chen Anxia using the Impure World Reincarnation technique some time ago, and that Chen Anxia seemed to have a grudge against Konoha.
After all, Chen Anxia had already killed many Konoha ninjas; it would be unreasonable if there were no hatred between them.
