Chapter 727: Fortunes Reversed!

Chapter 727: Fortunes Reversed!

"Hmm? What's this? I'm alive again?" Juzo glanced at his own body in surprise before noticing others around him. His eyes widened as he realized, 'This... Is this Konoha's Edo Tensei jutsu?'

"That bastard Kakuzu! He fucking stabbed me in the back!" Kaminari seethed in rage once he realized that he was revived. He wanted to do nothing more than get his revenge. Unfortunately, he knew that he was nothing but a puppet under the control of the one who reanimated him.

"Zabuza-sama, is that you? Where are we? How am I alive again?" Haku asked curiously. Unlike the other experienced ninjas, he knew nothing about this jutsu.

Zabuza replied, "You aren't. Someone used a jutsu to bring back the dead temporarily. We'll be under that person's control."

A sad look appeared on Haku's face as he muttered, "Does that mean that you're dead as well? I failed in my duty."

To his surprise, Zabuza chuckled and said, "Don't beat yourself up. You did very well, Haku. Anyway, we seem to be in Konoha and in the midst of a war."

Juzo glanced at Zabuza and noticed Kubikiribocho with him. He said, "Zabuza... So you are the one who succeeded by blade. However, it looks like you have fallen as well."

Zabuza looked at Juzo as well. Before he could say anything, Kaminari began hurling another round of creative curses at Kakuzu. He suddenly stopped when his eyes fell on Fujin. He said, "He looks a bit familiar... Who is he?"

Juzo overheard him and replied, "He is Suzuki Fujin. I heard that you clashed with him before you died."

Kaminari's eyes widened in surprise. He exclaimed, "That brat has grown so much? Not bad... As expected of someone who could injure me. How did you die, Juzo?"

Juzo sighed and answered, "I was killed by that brat."

"What?" Kaminari shouted in surprise. While he was impressed by Fujin's chakra, he didn't think he'd be able to kill someone like Juzo at such a young age.

While the reanimated ninjas chatted a bit among themselves, the last reanimated ninja's appearance became clear. As soon as they saw him, fear appeared in the eyes of both Suna and Konoha ninjas!

Fujin's expression became serious as well as he thought, 'Hatake Sakumo... Sigh, such a difficult opponent. Even if he isn't at his full strength, sealing him will be a difficult job...'

"Long time no see, Saru..."

"You've aged, Sarutobi..."

As soon as they were reanimated, the Senju brothers noticed how old Hiruzen had become.

Hiruzen sighed and apologized, "I never imagined I would see you two again under such circumstances. I am so sorry."

Hiruzen quickly assessed the situation, 'So much for that hope... Their chakra levels are far lower than when they were alive, especially in the case of Lord First. They won't be able to break free of Orochimaru's control. However, they should still have the strength of a rank S ninja along with their skills...

While Sakumo's strength was always known, he gained fame during the Second Great Ninja War when he led Konoha's armies on the Suna front. The wounds he inflicted on Sunagakure were worse than what Fujin inflicted on Kumogakure. Unlike Fujin, who did it stealthily and without any witnesses, Sakumo did it in front of everyone on the battlefield. For over a decade, there wasn't a single person in Sunagakure who didn't hate him!

Kakashi and others glanced in the direction of this commotion as well. It was too big to ignore. His eyes widened as he muttered, "Father..."

He looked back at Kabuto and said, "Edo Tensei... So that is the weird feeling I was getting. However, who killed you, Kabuto?"

Having faced Kabuto, Kakashi knew how formidable he was. Seeing that he had suddenly died caught him off guard. Of course, the one who was caught off guard most was none other than Kabuto. He wondered, 'What in the hell? It doesn't seem like he is lying. In fact, he has no reason to lie. What is going on? Who killed me? And, who can use Chidori as well as Kakashi?'

Kabuto immediately felt like he was on the verge of finding out about a great conspiracy. He racked his brain to figure out what it was while continuing to restrict Kakashi.

Sakumo glanced at the headband Guren was wearing and the Oto ninjas around her before glancing at Fujin. Seeing the wind cloak around him, Sakumo immediately concluded that all the Oto ninjas had been killed by Fujin. He sighed, "To think that I would be revived to fight my own village... You, what is your name?"

Fujin replied, "I didn't expect to see a ninja of your caliber in the enemy ranks. I'm Suzuki Fujin."

Sakumo said, "Fujin, good name. Even though I'm revived, I can feel that I'm not at my full strength. However, you can't kill someone who has been summoned by the Edo Tensei jutsu. This jutsu can only be stopped by either sealing us or by putting the caster under a Genjutsu and dispelling the jutsu. Call for a few Uchiha Jounins and have them suppress her..."

The eyes of Konoha ninjas widened while the Suna ninjas smirked. The famed Uchiha clan no longer existed. The only ones who lived were Sasuke and a few academy students. The only two strong Uchiha were rogue ninjas. Even though they hated Sakumo, seeing him on their side raised the morale of the Suna ninjas. Just a minute ago, Fujin was ruthlessly butchering Suna and Oto ninjas. Now, it would be Konoha's turn to suffer!

Before the Konoha ninjas could say that there was no Uchiha Jounin in the village and ask Sakumo to give a different advice, Guren shouted, "Stop stalling time and attack him! Kill Fujin before he is reinforced and annihilate the remaining Konoha ninjas!"
