“What is going on?
Why have we been brought back through Impure World Reincarnation again?” As the white smoke cleared, two confused figures stepped forward.
They were Nagato and the expressionless Itachi Uchiha.
Although Kabuto had controlled them before, they had still been aware of what was happening around them.
Their Impure World Reincarnation had clearly been released, and their souls had been preparing to leave the world of the living.
Neither of them expected to be summoned again almost immediately.
“This Impure World Reincarnation feels different…” As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Nagato possessed exceptional sensory abilities.
He immediately noticed that something about his new body had changed.
“So Kabuto is not the caster this time?” Itachi showed no visible emotion as he calmly examined his surroundings.
“Nagato.” Madara was the first to address them.
“I never expected us to meet like this.” There was a clear note of anger and menace in his voice.
Madara’s original plan had been for Nagato to use the Rinnegan and revive him with the Rinne Rebirth Technique.
Instead, Nagato had used the technique to restore the lives of those killed during his attack on Konoha.
“Who are you?” Nagato looked at him in confusion.
The muscles in Madara’s face twitched.
“You have never met me, but there is only one thing you need to understand.” Madara’s expression turned cold.
“The Rinnegan you possessed originally belonged to me.” For a moment, Nagato felt as though the air around him had frozen.
The pressure coming from Madara stirred memories of the fear and helplessness he had experienced as a child.
“You are… Madara Uchiha?” Itachi’s expression finally changed.
He saw the Sharingan in the man’s eyes and considered what he had just said.
“But if you are Madara Uchiha, then who is the masked man outside?” Itachi had always believed that the masked man was Madara.
Now it was clear that this was not the case.
“That is enough.” Amagiri Ren interrupted them.
“There is no need to untangle every secret surrounding the war right now.
I will explain why you were revived.” The Fourth Shinobi World War had only just begun, and many truths had yet to be revealed.
If they started questioning every deception and hidden identity now, the discussion would never end.
Amagiri Ren briefly explained Ragnarok and informed the two newly revived shinobi that they had been selected to enter the arena and fight the gods in one-on-one battles.
“We are expected to fight the gods?” Nagato frowned.
“And if humanity loses, the entire human race will be destroyed?” “Lord First… Lord Second…” Itachi looked toward Hashirama and Tobirama.
“You even revived both of them?” Nagato and Itachi were overwhelmed by how suddenly everything had changed.
It felt as though they had been dragged into an entirely different world without warning.
“Excuse me, Ren-sensei.” Tobirama could no longer remain silent.
“You are allowing these two youngsters to fight, yet you still refuse to select me?” “Are you claiming that both of them are stronger than I am?” What made the matter even more irritating was that one of them was another Uchiha.
To Tobirama, the decision felt like a direct insult.
“Tobirama.” Amagiri Ren turned and looked at him coldly.
“If you continue complaining, I will release your Impure World Reincarnation and send you back to the afterlife immediately.” Tobirama had only been revived as a secondary addition.
Whether he remained or disappeared made little difference to Amagiri Ren.
Hashirama quickly covered his younger brother’s mouth and smiled apologetically.
“Master, please do not take him seriously.
He has always had a habit of speaking when he should remain quiet.” Nagato and Itachi stared at Hashirama in disbelief.
The First Hokage had just called this young-looking man his master.
What kind of existence was Amagiri Ren?
“My apologies, Ren-sensei.” Tobirama forced out the apology in a low voice.
“Hahaha!” Madara burst into laughter.
“I never thought I would live to see you humbled like this, Tobirama!” Amagiri Ren’s gaze sharpened.
Madara immediately stopped laughing.
Everyone else fell silent as well.
“I did not revive any of you so that you could continue the grudges you carried in life.” Amagiri Ren looked over the group.
“Remember this clearly.
You have only one purpose.” “You will fight in Ragnarok.” “Do not create unnecessary trouble beyond that.” Even as he spoke firmly, Amagiri Ren sighed inwardly.
None of these men were easy to manage.
If they were all left together without supervision, they might destroy half the world before the tournament even began.
Still, there was no other choice.
Amagiri Ren had taken responsibility for gathering and commanding the shinobi world’s champions, which meant he also had to keep them under control.
“Ren-sensei.” Itachi adopted the same respectful form of address Tobirama had used.
“There is something I do not understand.” “As far as I know, the masked man claiming to be Madara Uchiha has begun the Fourth Shinobi World War.” “Kabuto Yakushi has also reanimated many Kage-level shinobi from other villages.
Together, they are fighting the Allied Shinobi Forces.” “Do you not intend to stop them?” The masked man had always been one of Itachi’s greatest concerns.
Before his death, Itachi had even implanted Amaterasu within Sasuke as a trap intended to kill him.
Unfortunately, it had failed.
That alone demonstrated how dangerous the masked man truly was.
“There is no need to worry about him.” Amagiri Ren answered calmly.
“The man behind the mask will also be entering the arena.” “He is an important part of our fighting force.
Ragnarok would be incomplete without him.” Obito had been included in Amagiri Ren’s lineup from the beginning.
Their next destination was clear.
It was time to find Obito Uchiha.
