Naruto Time Control

Chapter 268: The First Hokage

Ninja world.

Somewhere in the depths of a dark ravine.

Black symbols were intertwined on the ground and a large number of White Zetsu were lined up nearby.

One by one, they entered the series of black symbols, becoming victims of Edo Tensei.

Nagato stood in front of the series of symbols, hands folded in front of him, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Most of the coffins in the gorge had already been opened.

"Something is wrong with Sunagakure..."

Nagato's eyes widened abruptly as he looked at the Black Zetsu standing nearby and said, "Konoha attacked Sunagakure, and both Nanabi's Jinchuriki and Sanbi's Jinchuriki are there."

Hearing Nagato's words, Black Zetsu was shocked at first and then smiled horribly, saying, "Really? In that case, Sanbi and Nanabi are already in our pocket, and the forces sent should be enough!"

Five days ago, they finally started implementing the plan.

Counting the previous Kage of the big towns, as well as other powerful ninja like Chiyo, who died at the hands of Yeruashi, Black Zetsu managed to collect a total of approximately one hundred corpses of powerful ninja!

Even Obito, who was killed and completely destroyed by Yeruashi, was resurrected with the help of Edo Tensei, because in the past, Black Zetsu had saved a small part of his flesh!

Until now.

The number of ninjas who returned to the world of the living with the help of Edo Tensei has exceeded eighty.

With the exception of the White Fang of Konoha and the First Hokage sent to Konoha, the number of ninja sent to each of the remaining Great Ninja Villages has reached twenty!

Among them were almost all of the deceased Kages of the Great Ninja Villages and other famous ninja from generations past.

"If the Fifth Hokage doesn't act, we have a chance..."

Nagato, who was concentrating on controlling Edo Tensei, looked at what was happening in Sunagakure and said, "But catching three Bijuu at once is still not that easy. It would have been better to make a move a little later, by which time Konoha would have already destroyed Sunagakure, but now it has become a three-sided battle."

"Don't worry."

Black Zetsu smiled ominously and said, "Among the resurrected ninja of Konoha, there is the Second and a Fourth Hokage who possess Hiraishin no Jutsu, you can use them to quickly move the resurrected ninja."

Nagato sighed deeply, nodded and said, "Alright..."

After saying that, Nagato raised his hands in front of him and performed a series of hand seals, starting to manipulate the revived ninjas, and sweat broke out from his forehead and his breathing became noticeably heavier.

This charge was not from a large number of controlled ninja, but from a pair of special and extremely powerful ninja in their ranks.

Uchiha Obito.

Senju Hashirama.

One of them has enormous Dojutsu power, close to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and the other has the Sage Body.

They are extremely difficult to control. Without Rinnegan, he probably wouldn't have been able to suppress these ninja, but even now, he still had to remain extremely focused.

"The First Hokage's resistance is too strong..."

After forcibly suppressing another wave of the First Hokage's resistance, Nagato sighed deeply.

In the depths of Black Zetsu's eyes, a hint of expectation shone and he said, "If this is too heavy, then, in extreme cases, you can resurrect Madara, he will help you control these ninja."

"Uchiha Madara..."

Nagato raised his head and said in a deep voice, "No need, I can hold on."

Just like Uchiha Obito.

Nagato didn't want to resurrect Uchiha Madara either.

He is clearly aware that in his current state he won't be able to suppress Madara and even though they are allies, Nagato wants to carry out the plan on his own.

"Right."

Black Zetsu's body disappeared into the darkness of the cave.

...

Fire Country.

At a distance of a couple of cities away from Konoha, two figures were running swiftly in the direction of Konoha.

One of them wore a Konoha forehead protector and radiated extremely powerful chakra fluctuations.

This was the first Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama!

"I never expected something like this to happen in the future. Such is the effectiveness of Edo Tensei, besides, even I can't get rid of the user's Dojutsu control.... This is Rinnegan..."

The First Hokage's face was grim.

He gritted his teeth and growled in exasperation, "Tobirama, that damned bastard! I told you it's not worth creating such a technique, let alone applying it in practice... but he decided to record it anyway!"

Hatake Sakumo, who was following Hashirama, smiled bitterly and said "It's no use blaming the Second Hokage now, Hashirama-sama..."

After these words.

Sakumo looked forward with intense concern in his eyes and said, "I'm afraid Konoha will be in big trouble, Hashirama-sama, it's too strong..."

Sakumo was unfamiliar with the power of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, but after they were resurrected and sent to Konoha, Hashirama repeatedly rebelled against Edo Tensei's control along the way.

The terrifying chakra fluctuations at those times left Sakumo in shock.

"This is really a problem..."

Hashirama whispered gloomily.

He didn't know if there is a powerful ninja like him or Madara in this era, otherwise, even all the ninja of the Great Ninja Villages won't be able to contain him.

Despite being in the Edo Tensei state, he can't use Senjutsu, which won't allow him to use his most powerful technique, the Wood Element Sage Art: Several Thousand True Hands, but even the rest of Mokuton's techniques are not something a normal ninja can withstand.

"Your name is Sakumo?"

Hashirama looked at Sakumo and said, "Your chakra is quite strong, I'll tell you about the seals, maybe you can free yourself from Edo Tensei's control."

This is the main risk of using Edo Tensei.

Knowing the necessary seals, a controlled ninja can break the summoning contract unilaterally.

Nagato is now focused on controlling Hashirama and will not allow him to bend the seals. The ability to maintain personality is already the limit, there is almost no way for Hashirama to control his body to perform meaningful actions.

"Right."

Sakumo nodded.

Soon, Hashirama talked about the seals and Sakumo took a deep breath, intending to break the summoning contract, but as soon as she started to perform the seals, she immediately froze abruptly and slowly lowered her hands.

"It doesn't work... Hashirama-sama!"

Sakumo's expression turned unpleasant and said, "It looks like the user is watching us closely."

Seeing that Sakumo couldn't break the contract, Hashirama couldn't help but think that his younger brother, Tobirama, probably couldn't either.

According to his assessment, the ninja who used the Edo Tensei could reincarnate a large number of strong ninja.

At the thought of this, Hashirama's face became extremely grim.

Problem!

The entire ninja world may plunge into chaos!
