Hope for the Future

"Shut up! Don't think I can't teach you a lesson even after I'm dead. Do you have any last words? This time I will kill you first!"

Tsuchikage just sneered at him: "Hehe! If I remember correctly, you died first. I had a good look at your guts. And now that we are bound by this technique, there is no way to move freely. All you can do is talk big."

Hōzuki was angry, but there was nothing to refute the statement.

"That one over there! You are Third Raikage! I remember you had succeeded the Raikage title as the Third before me. When did you die?" Hōzuki asked Third Raikage.

"It was during the Third Shinobi World War."

"Third Shinobi World War? It seems that this world is not quite peaceful even after we died!"

Hōzuki Hazuki was also not in the mood to be angry. His attention turns to the Third Shinobi World War.

"Raikage, do you know who won the Third Shinobi World War?" He continued.

Third Raikage shook his head, "I don't know. When I died, the Third Shinobi World War was not over yet. According to the battle situation at that time, it should be the situation between Konoha and Iwagakure Ninja. Third Mizukage was killed by Yamanaka Ryo, Fourth Kazekage was also restrained. And if Iwagakure Ninja was killed too, I would think that Ōnoki in the future should be able to take the initiative on the battlefield. I really don't know."

Three people chatted as they walked and soon saw a densely packed White Zetsu army ahead.

"What is this?" Hōzuki said while he was surprised.

"These white humanoid monster's Chakra feels like they have the quantities close to Jōnin, and I feel that those who control these monsters may be the ones who summon us."

They moved on and soon left the range of the White Zetsu Army and reached a desert.

"We are summoned not too far away from the Country of Wind. Is our goal the Country of Wind?" Third Raikage frowned.

"I don't think it's that simple. The people in front of us have chakra attributes that seem very complicated, and there are not many Puppeteers around. It doesn't feel like Country of Wind." He answered faintly.

....

On the other side, Yamanaka Ryo and a group of staff sat around the desk to discuss the battle plan.

The excellent Sensor Type Ninja led by Yamanaka Inoichi talked with each team and collected the information on the battlefield. But just now, Yamanaka Inoichi and the others suddenly felt dozens of special powerful chakras.

Yamanaka Inoichi's expression changed greatly. He quickly closed his eyes, started to sense the specific place. After confirming it, again and again, Yamanaka Inoichi's expression became solemn and told the information to Yamanaka Ryo.

When Yamanaka Ryo got the information, he probably already knew it. Tsunade had previously told him that Yakushi Nonō was killed and Yakushi Kabuto was missing.

At that time, Yamanaka Ryo wondered what happened to Yakushi Kabuto, but he didn't know how Yakushi Kabuto learned Edo Tensei even though he didn't meet Orochimaru and whether he had learned Sage Mode.

Yamanaka Ryo informed Yamanaka Inoichi of his speculation and asked Yamanaka Inoichi to help pass the information to the Ninja Alliance.

Yamanaka Inoichi is a little surprised how Yamanaka Ryo was so sure that these Chakras are the people of Edo Tensei, but he trusted Yamanaka Ryo. Yamanaka Inoichi didn't ask much and directly conveyed the information.

"Ryo, how do you know that the top ninja in the past has been restricted using Edo Tensei?" Pakura whispered.

Yamanaka Ryo laughed, and Pakura established a Spiritual link, combining information from the manga with the information he got from Tsunade to tell Pakura about Yakushi Kabuto.

Pakura didn't sense something strange and believed what Yamanaka Ryo said, but after knowing that an army of Edo Tensei existed, Pakura became more worried about the war situation.

"Ryo, do you think we can win this war?"

"We must win this war. Believe in my strength, believe in the strength of the Ninja Alliance. Think about what Minato and Gaara told the Ninja Alliance before. We should let go of our past hatred for a better tomorrow. Now, hope is in front of us. As long as we win this war, a new Ninja World will be born, and then there won't be obstacles before us."

Hearing this, Pakura made a complex expression, and her thoughts returned to the day when the Ninja Alliance was assembled.

It was the first time that Ninjas in various Ninja Villages stood on the same land but not to fight each other. They once held weapons and stood hostile to each other. The atmosphere was strange and weird.

But now, everyone was protecting the people around them, protecting other ninja villages. The Ninja Alliance, which seems too good to be true, has formed solidarity and combined their strength.

In this case, Namikaze Minato and Gaara stood up, convincing people with reason, and they were moved by the emotion. Gaara even gave 'after a bunch of throwing kunai and Jutsu, ninjas temporarily put down their hatred and were willing to face the common enemy together' speech.

This was a good start. Namikaze Minato then added that he believes that the Ninja Alliance was formed by people who live in war and believes that those who were once enemies will forget the hatred they had someday.

When the day of peace comes, she will be together with Yamanaka Ryo, and no one will oppose their relationship.

Thinking of this, Pakura's expression became firm, "Ryo! This victory must be ours. For the sake of the entire Ninja World and for our future. We must win!"

....

After receiving the information from the headquarters, the Ninja Alliance forces were a little nervous. After all, they will face the top ninja who once made a name that shook Ninja World, and the first team to meet the Edo Tensei army was the team led by Namikaze Minato.

"Namikaze Minato? How could you be here?! Aren't you dead?"

Namikaze Minato had no idea. The first thing he faced was people from Konoha, the Hokage assistance. It became somewhat awkward, and he scratched his head and said, "Danzō, long time no see!"

"Hey! What's going on? Is Namikaze Minato also being Edo Tensei?" Hidan asked, pointing at his bloody March sickle at Namikaze Minato.

"Heh, look at Namikaze Minato's eyes before asking this stupid question. His eyes are different from ours, not Edo Tensei's eyes." Hozuki suddenly sneered.

"Bastard! How do I know what my eyes look like? Do you guys want to fight?"

"That's enough, Hidan! Don't make such a meaningless quarrel." Said Kakuzu on the side.

"That's right, didn't you say you wanted to avenge Konoha Ninja? Now is the opportunity! Look at the people in front of you. There's so many Konoha Ninja. Let's go and kill them!"

Hearing this, Hidan turned his attention to the Konoha Ninjas. Ninja Alliance also made a move.

Kakashi used Yamanaka Inoichi's Spiritual link power to tell everyone about Kakuzu and Hidan's information.

"Hidan, let's get started!"

"Haha! Damned Konoha Ninja!"
