Chapter 421: The Confrontation between the Past and the Present
These reincarnated ninjas are none other than influential figures in their respective ninja villages.

Among them were elite jonin such as Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and even shadows who had died in the war many years ago. The appearance of these figures undoubtedly gave the coalition forces a great shock.

"Isn't that the Nidaime on the wall? How come he's here? And the Second Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village? I clearly remember that the Nidaime and the Second Mizukage died together decades ago."

Soon, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Iwa Village recognized their second generation in the crowd.

Compared with other ninjas, the second-generation Tsuchikage with bandages wrapped all over his body and the second-generation Mizukage with a mustache are undoubtedly the easiest to identify.

After hearing the shouts of the crowd, Ōnoki, Mei Terumi and Zabuza's faces changed. They had imagined that there would be enemies under Uchiha Madara that would be difficult for them to deal with, but they did not expect that they would be seniors in the village.

If you think about it carefully, you will feel relieved. Uchiha Madara himself is a dead ninja.

Since even Uchiha Madara has been resurrected, it is very normal for other previous Kages to be resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, but they will have to fight against the previous Kages next.

After seeing the coalition ninjas on the opposite side, the second generation of Tu and the second generation of Shui were slightly stunned.

After both of them died on the battlefield, they went to the Pure Land together. After being resurrected by the masked man in recent days, he has been trying to find out the current situation in the ninja world.

They now suddenly realized that the five major ninja villages seemed to have formed a coalition, and they were the enemies of the coalition.

This made them both doubt their lives.

"Third Raikage! How come you are here?!"

After discovering the Second Generation of Water and the Second Generation of Earth, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village also discovered the Third Generation of Raikage in the crowd. This Kage-level powerful warrior who was able to fight the tailed beasts in close combat was now in a state of confusion.

He should be dead, and died in the encirclement of the Iwagakure Village.

He has seen many dead acquaintances these days and regards this place as another pure land, but the ninja who looks 70% similar to him should be his son.

Could it be that his son also died in the war and went to the Pure Land?

The Fourth Raikage also noticed the Third Raikage. He stood there with a frown on his face, not knowing whether he should go over and say hello to the Third Raikage.

If his weak side is revealed, will it affect his prestige as the Raikage?

Similar situations continued to occur in the Ninja Alliance, and more and more ninjas found that their relatives and friends appeared among the reincarnated ninjas.

This also means that their next enemies will be their loved ones and friends.

Thinking of this, the allied ninjas looked at Uchiha Madara with extremely complicated eyes. Uchiha Madara's methods were too cruel to come up with such a vicious plan.

Regardless of whether they win or lose the next match, they will feel extremely uncomfortable.

Uchiha Madara felt that he was actually somewhat innocent. He looked in the direction of Bai Ye, his eyes seemed to say, it was you who started the Fourth Ninja World War, and it was also you who decided the outcome of the game.

Bai Ye showed a playful expression and used the ring to send a message:

Madara, don't you think this is interesting? Use the dead five Kage to fight against the current five Kage to see whether the younger generation is stronger than the older generation or the younger generation is stronger.

Uchiha Madara did not comment, he was also quite interested in this.

Before the Infinite Tsukuyomi begins, he doesn't mind having some fun in the name of the Ninja World War, and taking this opportunity to compete with Byakuya for control of the Outer Path Statue.

Although their goal is to revive the Ten-Tails.

But at present, the Rinnegan is still in Byakuya's hands. If Byakuya is allowed to merge with the Ten-Tails to become the new Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, it is hard to say whether the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan can be realized.

Moreover, he was unwilling to leave his fate to Bai Ye.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara replied with chakra: It’s up to you, the tailed beasts are still in the recovery stage anyway, but when do you plan to reveal your identity and take action against the Five Kage?
Bai Ye replied indifferently: Just wait until the time is right. By the way, according to my intelligence, my defected subordinates seem to have resurrected several extraordinary figures. Are you interested in them?

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara seemed to have thought of something, and then replied:
I said, as long as you have fun, I don’t care who is resurrected. I haven’t fought with those guys for a long time. Let’s see who is stronger between us.

After the commotion in the crowd continued for a while, Byakuya and Uchiha Madara stepped forward to maintain order.

Under the manipulation of the Impure World Reincarnation, the eyes of the Impure World Ninja gradually lost their luster and they became manipulated puppets until the game began, when they would regain consciousness.

……

After dozens of minutes and rough arrangements, the competition officially began.

Just as the coalition forces had imagined, all the coalition ninjas participating in the competition encountered the most difficult enemies. These enemies were not only powerful, but were all their relatives and friends.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye, the leader of the coalition forces, couldn't help but frown.

As the ring match began, the controlled Impure World Ninjas gradually regained consciousness. Although they could exert 50% to 60% of their strength by force, in order to fully exert their strength, these Impure World Reincarnated Ninjas still had to regain consciousness.

The Fourth Raikage's opponent was naturally the Third Raikage. After regaining consciousness, the Third Raikage gradually understood the current situation in the ninja world.

After facing Uchiha Madara, an enemy powerful enough to destroy the ninja world, all the ninja villages united together.

Even the former enemy, the Iwagakure Village, became an ally of the Kumogakure Village. This was a little hard to accept for him who was keen on expanding his sphere of influence.

However, each generation has its own problems to solve.

As a father and the former Raikage, he could only test his son's strength here and have an intimate exchange with his iron fist.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Fourth Raikage and shouted, "Ai, don't be afraid. Just treat me as your real enemy. I will also use all my strength to test the results of your training during this period of time."

"Yes, Father!"

Before he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage entered the Lightning Chakra Mode and swooped down towards the Third Raikage's position. Both of them were moving so fast that their figures could hardly be seen clearly.

Onlookers could only see afterimages in the air, secretly marveling at the power of the Five Kage.

As for the speed of the Third and Fourth Raikage, Uchiha Madara shook his head secretly. Although the Raikage's speed and physical skills were up to standard, he was far inferior to him and Byakuya in other aspects.

For a reckless man who only knows how to use brute force, it is enough for him to cast an illusion once.

Bai Ye didn't think so much, he was thinking about how to bring these reincarnated ninjas into the Akatsuki organization so that his strength could be further improved. If the battle between the two Raikages represents the highest level of physical skills in the ninja world.

Ohnoki and the Second Tsuchikage undoubtedly represent the highest level of ninjutsu. Both of them have mastered the bloodline-eliminating dust escape through hard study.

This is a bloodline that transcends the bloodline limit and possesses extremely terrifying destructive power.

No bloodline limit in the ninja world can be compared with bloodline elimination, even the wood release bloodline used by the first generation Hokage. After all, it is the first generation Hokage who is powerful, not the wood release ninjutsu.

After dodging Ōnoki's Dust Release, the Second Tsuchikage stopped in mid-air. He looked at Ōnoki and said in a deep voice:
"Ohnoki, I didn't expect you to be so old. Even your speed has declined a lot."

"If you can't defeat me in time, you will most likely die in this battle. You must find our weakness and prevent me from evading."

"Yes, Second Generation Teacher..."

Facing the teachings of the Second Tsuchikage, Ohnoki seemed to have returned to the summer when the Second Tsuchikage taught him Dust Release. His attainments in Dust Release now surpassed his teacher, but he was obviously lacking in other aspects.

His speed was far too slow, even though it was faster than half of the jonin.

But in the contest between Kage-level masters, it was extremely deadly. He had no way to solve this problem. He was simply too old, and the only reason he could still fight was because of regular maintenance.

Bai Ye's gaze also fell on Ōnoki, and Ōnoki's future fate emerged in his mind.

Ōnoki was the absolute output in the battle between the Five Kage and Uchiha Madara, and he is also the strongest Kage among the Five Kage today. It is a pity that such a powerful Tsuchikage eventually died in the civil strife in the Iwagakure Village.

Uchiha Madara was also quite interested in Ōnoki and the Second Tsuchikage.

He had taught Ōnoki and the Second Tsuchikage a lesson on the eve of the first Five Kage Tournament. The two were not very strong at the time, but now they have shown the ability to threaten him.

If he were a flesh and blood body now, even if he used Susanoo, he would have to be careful when dealing with these two people.

After all, the destructive power of Dust Release is too strong, but now he is in a body of Impure World Reincarnation, and the threat posed to him by Dust Release is negligible and not worth mentioning at all.

Compared with the arenas of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the arena of Kirigakure is full of a cheerful atmosphere.

The Second Mizukage is one of the strongest Mizukage in the history of the Hidden Mist Village. He is not only proficient in assassination, but also has extremely high attainments in illusion and ninjutsu.

After seeing that the ninja who came up to challenge him was Zabuza and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he deliberately started to let him win. While telling Zabuza about his weaknesses, he asked:
"Hey, the kid with the beheading sword over there, although your strength is good, it should not be enough to become a Mizukage. Who is the current Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, and why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Zabuza raised his sword and slashed at the Second Mizukage. After shattering the Second Mizukage's illusion, he replied:

"Nidaime, there is no Mizukage position in the Hidden Mist Village anymore. Now the elders take turns in ruling. I am the third elder in the village, but everyone still trusts Master Yuanshi."

"Master Yuan, is that old guy still alive?"

The Second Mizukage frowned, then he formed a seal to summon the little man while explaining:

"Zabuza, this is my secret technique, Steaming Danger and Violent Power. Since you are the elder of Kirigakure, you should know its power. Be careful when dealing with it, and don't die."

Before he finished his words, the villain appeared next to Zabuza, his body expanded violently, and then exploded.

With a loud bang, the little man turned into an endless heat wave that swept towards the surroundings. The temperature of the water vapor exceeded the limit and could easily burn the ninja or even kill him.

Faced with such an attack, even if Zabuza had undergone transformation, he was forced to leave the ring.

The next ninja to appear was Bai from the Hidden Rain Village. As soon as Bai appeared, ice crystals condensed in the air, causing the temperature of the venue to suddenly drop by several degrees. Even the mist in the air began to condense.

Bai quickly formed seals with both hands and, with the help of the power of the curse seal, launched an attack on the Second Mizukage.

After seeing an ice escape of such a scale, the Second Mizukage's expression gradually became solemn.

The younger generation of the Hidden Mist Village finally has a capable ninja from the Snow Clan. After all, the Hidden Mist Village still needs a bloodline ninja to compete with other ninja villages.

I don’t know how the bloodline family is developing in the Hidden Mist Village, and whether they have successfully integrated into the village.

Of course, if the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village could hear the Second Mizukage's thoughts, they would probably be speechless, after all, the Hidden Mist Village does not even have a bloodline family now.

After several major purges, only a handful of bloodline ninjas were left in the Hidden Mist Village.

Thanks to the fine tradition of the Sand Village, the Sand Village's arena is the only one without the participation of Impure World Ninja.

After all, the powerful ninjas in the village were either made into puppets or used for other purposes and had no chance of being buried at all. It can be said that they successfully avoided the harm of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The two sides fighting in the Sand Village arena are old acquaintances.

They are the Fifth Kazekage, Scorpion of the Red Sand, and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. The battle between the two is the familiar magnetic escape technique, where they constantly use iron sand and gold sand to attack and defend each other on the ring.

However, unlike other arenas, both sides remained restrained.

Although they have different identities, one is the Kazekage and the other is a rebel ninja, they are actually members of the same organization and have the goal of making Sunagakure greater.

After all, if there was no major threat from the Fourth Kazekage, Scorpion would not be able to easily control the Daimyo of the Wind Country.

No matter who wins or loses this Ninja World War, their Sand Village will be the final winner. This is the advantage of betting on both sides. The Sand Village will successfully win forever.

On the Konoha arena.

Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, has not encountered any Hokage. Her enemy is just an elite jonin who doesn't look particularly strong.

This is good news for Konohagakure, as it means that the previous Hokage has not been blasphemed and Tsunade does not have to face pressure from the previous Hokage.

After all, all the successive Hokage of Konoha were too powerful.

Tsunade was not confident that she could defeat any of the Hokage from the First to the Fourth Generation, and the outcome would be miserable if she met any of them.

But when facing the enemy in front of her, Tsunade hesitated rarely.

Although her enemy only has the aura of an elite jonin, he is her former lover Kato Dan.
