The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

At this moment, in the building of the combat base, there were only three shadows.

They are Hokage Xia Li, Tsuchikage Ōnoki, and Raikage Ai.

There is no need to say much about the Kazekage Gaara, he led the five major armies to the battlefield, while the Mizukage Mei Terumi was responsible for the safety of the five daimyo and went to the daimyo's hiding place.

However, Xia Li also arranged several guards of the Fourth Hokage. Although they did not learn Flying Thunder God, they learned the Flying Thunder God Formation. If Mei Terumi is needed on the battlefield, she can rush over at any time.

At this time, the Raikage was standing in front of the window, looking into the distance a little anxiously, as if he was worried about the direction of the war.

Although Ōnoki did not express it as obviously as the Raikage, it was clear that he was also worried about it.

However, as the commander-in-chief of this war, Xia Li didn't seem to care. He sat there sipping tea and persuading the two to relax.

"Haha, Lord Hokage is in a good mood. He can be so calm at such a young age." Oonoki said to Xia Li.

"Not really, it's just that I believe in the strength of the coalition forces more than you do." Xia Li replied.

At this moment, information also came from the Intelligence Department that the surprise attack force arranged by the coalition forces had collided head-on with the opponent's surprise attack force.

Moreover, the news sent back by the surprise attack force was that the ninja they encountered had been dead before, and was now summoned by a ninjutsu called Impure World Reincarnation to participate in this war and became an enemy of the coalition forces.

"Impure World Reincarnation! That evil ninjutsu?" Oonoki's voice couldn't help but become a little higher when he heard it. Obviously, he had experienced the period of the Second Hokage and knew this ninjutsu. No one knew the evil nature of this ninjutsu better than him.

"Yes, it's that ninjutsu." Xia Li also nodded.

Ohnoki looked at Xia Li. If it were in the past, he would definitely use this opportunity to make things difficult for the Hokage, but now is not the time. The most important thing now is to know how to deal with this Impure World Reincarnation.

"Hokage, the Impure World Reincarnation is a ninjutsu created by the second Hokage of Konoha. I wonder if the Hokage knows the weakness of this ninjutsu?" Oonoki asked at this time.

However, to Ohnoki's disappointment, Xia Li just shook his head.

"This ninjutsu has no weaknesses. Although there is a loophole, it is not something that outsiders like us can exploit. If we want to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation, there is only one way, and that is to let the caster take the initiative to make hand seals to cancel it." Xia Li said.

"Is it not possible even if I kill him?" The Raikage glared at Xia Li.

"I'm afraid not."

"Hmph, why was such a disgusting and evil ninjutsu created in the first place?!" the Raikage roared.

"Although I don't deny that this ninjutsu is extremely inhumane, you should know why this ninjutsu was created at that time, right?" Xia Li asked back.

Suddenly, the Raikage was speechless. Wasn't it because of the war between the Raikage and Konoha? Moreover, they were the one who took the initiative to provoke the war. It was really unreasonable for them to say so at this time.

But even so, the Raikage felt that he could not lose in momentum. He stared at Xia Li with his eyes wide open and asked, "What should we do now? As the commander-in-chief, you have to give us an explanation!"

After thinking for a while, Xia Li said, "Most of the ninjas summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation technique are actually unable to reach their previous strength in life. However, the biggest problem is that as long as the caster has not canceled the Impure World Reincarnation technique, these summoned ninjas can recover infinitely even if they are defeated by the ninjutsu."

What Xia Li didn't say was that because the corpses of the Impure World Reincarnation this time were all White Zetsu, their chakra was basically inexhaustible, so they were far more powerful than ordinary Impure World Reincarnation.

There will even be some strengthened ninjas, such as those ninjas whose strength has deteriorated due to age. After they possess the corpses of the Impure World Reincarnation created by White Zetsu, their strength can even become stronger than when they were alive.

However, Xia Li naturally couldn't say all this out loud, as that would be a blow to his teammates, and he also couldn't explain the source of his information.

After Xia Li finished speaking, both Ohnoki and Raikage had a headache. This was the disgusting nature of this ninjutsu. If it could be broken by just killing once, that would be a bit too easy.

"However, recovery also takes time, so we only need to seal them when they recover to prevent them from continuing to act." Xia Li said.

Ohnoki also nodded. He didn't know this method, mainly because although he had experienced the period of the Second Hokage, the Second Hokage at that time obviously did not use the Impure World Reincarnation in this way.

That guy really dared to use the infinite recovery characteristics of the reincarnated ninja and covered his body with detonating tags to act as a human bomb, so they naturally had no way to experiment with the sealing technique...

And now that Xia Li has said so, it proves that this method should be useful.

"When Orochimaru invaded Konoha, he used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the First and Second Hokage. They are still sealed in Konoha." Xia Li thought for a moment and added.

"What did you say?" Ohnoki opened his eyes wide.

Xia Li looked at Ohnoki speechlessly and could only repeat it again.

Then, I saw Ōnoki burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, that guy was actually able to summon the ninjutsu he created. It really makes people happy!" Ohnoki said with a smile. It can be seen how unpopular the second generation Hokage is.

"Since there is a way, let the intelligence unit notify them immediately." Raikage ordered hurriedly.

"No need. I had already let the intelligence unit notify them while I was explaining to you." Xia Li glanced at the Raikage. He certainly couldn't really waste time explaining to these two.

Ōnoki and the Raikage both nodded.

At this time, Ohnoki suddenly reacted, "Hokage, are you saying that Orochimaru has mastered the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"That's right." Xia Li looked at Ohnoki and finally reacted.

"So, will the person who performs the Impure World Reincarnation now be Orochimaru instead of Uchiha Madara?" Ohnoki said, "I remember that when Uchiha Madara left Konoha, the Second Hokage had not yet created this jutsu..."

"That should be the case, but with Orochimaru's personality, it's not easy to find his hiding place." Xia Li said so. Even for him, now that he no longer has Orochimaru's spiritual imprint, he has no way to find Orochimaru.

"Damn Orochimaru!" The Raikage snorted angrily, but did not blame Xia Li.

After all, everyone knows that Orochimaru attacked Konoha and is Konoha's number one enemy.

Ohnoki's face wasn't looking too good at this moment. After all, his hard work had been almost destroyed by Orochimaru...

…………

Time passed by minute by minute. At this time, there were only Xia Li and Raikage in the hall. Even the Tsuchikage Ohnoki rushed to the front line to help.

The Raikage's face was not good at this time, because during this period of time, there were too many wounded soldiers sent back from the front line, and these were only ninjas who had suffered very serious injuries.

It can be said that they have lost their combat effectiveness. Coming here means that even if they survive in the end, they will not be able to continue to participate in the next battle.

In addition, those with lighter injuries naturally do not need to be sent back, so the intensity of this war is even higher than the Raikage imagined.

You know, it's just an organization, and it was able to launch such a counterattack against the Five Kage Alliance.

Xia Li was also silent. If the Raikage only looked at these, then Xia Li saw more.

Xia Li, who is now in the combat base, is actually the real body. He actually returned from the dragon vein when the war broke out. As for Xia Li's cultivation progress, it can only be said that it lives up to everyone's expectations.

And the one sitting here is Xia Li's real body, so Xia Li's spiritual shadow clone has naturally followed the main force, but the spiritual shadow clone has never taken any action. Instead, he sat on the clouds and watched the battles everywhere with his own eyes.

All the feelings of the spiritual shadow clone are connected to the original body in real time, so even though Xia Li is just sitting here, he can still see the cruelty of the war. Even if Xia Li asked Orochimaru to be gentle before, who would care so much when they really get to the battlefield...

All I can say is that it is lighter, but not completely lighter.

Of course, the spiritual shadow clone is not just watching the battle, he is also feeling the five attributes of ninjutsu on the battlefield, making the final accumulation for further strength.

Xia Li sighed and could only say that the cruelty of the war was beyond Xia Li's expectations. Even with the participation of two powerful fighters, Naruto and Sasuke, the casualties were still so great.

Xia Li couldn't even imagine how many of the coalition forces in the original novel were left at the end...

However, this was also because Naruto and Sasuke performed too outstandingly, so they were targeted by the masked man, who sent out nine tailed beasts to fight and hold back Naruto and Sasuke.

That's right, there are nine tailed beasts, including the Nine-Tails. The opponent used the Nine-Tails chakra that Xia Li had deliberately dropped before, and the opponent seemed to have added the Nine-Tails chakra of Kinkaku and Yinkaku to create a Nine-Tails without consciousness, but with equally terrifying chakra.

It can be said that if Naruto and Sasuke were not there, these nine tailed beasts would have been able to cause the entire battlefield to collapse.

As for the scene in Xia Li's memory where White Zetsu played the role of the Allied Forces Ninja, it did not appear.

After all, the reason why White Zetsu acted as a coalition ninja at that time was actually to force Naruto, who was the Nine-Tails, to join the war.

Because Naruto, who possessed the power of the Nine-Tails at that time, could feel the malicious intent, but even the Byakugan could not find any flaws in White Zetsu's acting skills, and it could only be cracked by using the Nine-Tails' malicious perception.

Thinking of this, Xia Li also sighed. He remembered that he had wondered before whether his perception could also sense malice, but...

Obviously, Xia Li failed. Although he studied hard, he did not succeed in the end. This was one of the few failures of Xia Li.

Of course, there is a big difference here, that is Hyuga Neji. Since Tenzang was not captured, he became a master architect later.

Therefore, the current 'Afei' White Zetsu does not have such terrifying strength, and naturally does not pose much threat to the coalition forces.

For example, in the original work, Hyuga Neji's death here was a bit of a plot kill. But now that Hyuga Neji has a clear goal and his Byakugan has been strengthened without blind spots, his strength has increased rather than decreased compared to the original work, so it is natural that Hyuga Neji cannot die here.

For this reason, Xia Li actually paid special attention to Hyuga Neji, but fortunately nothing unexpected happened.

Xia Li looked at the messy battlefield. It was only the first day, and the masked man's cards had obviously not been fully revealed, and Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation had not released those heavyweight ninjas.

If they were all released, the severity of the battlefield would probably double.

Xia Li was also thinking at this time. This was the result of his not intervening. What would have happened if he had intervened if he had not been so lazy before?

After a long time, Xia Li shook his head. This was just a thought. If he wanted to realize his idea, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts would be necessary.

Therefore, even if this scene did not happen, it would not be much better, and by then, Konoha, where he was, would probably become the villain. Xia Li did not find this kind of thing interesting.

If Xia Li captured the tailed beast himself, then there would be no Akatsuki organization, and at that time the other four villages would probably unite to deal with Konoha.

Or maybe even the Akatsuki organization would start helping those four villages, since they also want the tailed beasts.

What's more, if that time really comes, it is not certain whether he will still be the Hokage of Konoha. Maybe he will be dismissed by Konoha and be cleared of any connection?

Therefore, Xia Li would never do such a thankless task.

Moreover, even if that time comes, will there really be fewer casualties?

As an enemy, Xia Li doesn't know what it means to show mercy, and by then Orochimaru will most likely become his ally, so the result will be the same.

It's just that the process is slightly different.

Just as Xia Li was thinking, he suddenly paused and looked in one direction, where he felt the presence of several powerful auras.

"Trouble..." Xia Li also frowned. Naruto and Sasuke would probably be delayed by Obito the next day. So, facing these guys, was the only option left to send the coalition forces?

Or Gaara and Ōnoki?

Or maybe, Xia Li stretched, thinking that it was time for him to take action, as he was also feeling a little itchy.

If the real body doesn't take action, then it should be okay for his spiritual shadow clone to take action, right?

Xia Li's eyes flickered, and he was looking forward to tomorrow's opponent, hoping that he would not disappoint him.

The next day, in front of everyone's eyes, the auras that Xia Li felt appeared in front of the coalition forces.

When they appeared, everyone paused.

Because, that is their shadow!

The second generation Tsuchikage, the second generation Mizukage, the third generation Raikage, the fourth generation Kazekage!
