Throughout the millennium of the ninja world's history, even the mightiest like Hashirama and those with the noble blood of Indra and Ashura could not escape the literal death. But who could die and be resurrected, who could live another life before today? No one! Today, Gensou created an unprecedented feat.

Even though it wasn't as perfect as Madara's later resurrection using the Rinne Rebirth Technique, it was still extraordinary.

Without the cheat-like Rinnegan, Gensou managed to resurrect himself, an achievement far exceeding the hacking ability of Madara.

"Hashirama, Reto, Ai, Ishikawa, and that despicable Tobirama. You guys can watch with wide eyes from the underworld as I live again with vibrancy and color!"

"Ninja world, here I come!"

Gensou's eyes shone brightly.

He suddenly turned his head towards the horizon where several black dots were getting closer. He smirked, "Celebrating alone lacks flavor. Perfect! The witnesses have arrived as expected."

The news of Samui's team being attacked, with only her severely injured returning, quickly reached the ears of the Fourth Raikage, Ai.

Trusting the authenticity of Samui's report about Gensou Hagoromo at the Valley of the End, the Fourth Raikage Ai put down his dumbbells, donned his Raikage cloak, and ordered his female secretary, Mabui, with a resolute voice:

"Mabui, prepare the Heavenly Transfer Technique!"

"Yes," Mabui sighed inwardly. Although she felt it was unnecessary, she couldn't disobey the Raikage's orders.

After all, this Raikage was the type who would personally lead a team into another village to steal a coveted secret technique, not caring about his reputation as Raikage.

He was the complete opposite of the Third Hokage, who was more of a politician than a ninja, always entrenched in the politics of the Hidden Leaf.

Soon, Mabui prepared the ritual for the Heavenly Transfer Technique.

As a space-time ninjutsu usually used for transporting objects, the Fourth Raikage Ai was among the few who could withstand its side effects.

With a flash of white light, the Fourth Raikage vanished from his office and reappeared at a secret Cloud ninja base near the Fire Country's border.

"Yo~ A, why are you here?" Killer Bee, who was enthusiastically writing new rap lyrics, noticed the arrival and greeted him with dance-like movements.

In the past, the Fourth Raikage Ai might have reprimanded Bee to focus on training instead of getting deeper into rap. But now, with a more important goal in mind, he said solemnly, "This time, I will lead the mission myself."

Cloud ninjas, being more united than other villages, acted with great efficiency.

Upon hearing the news of Gensou's appearance, they wasted no time. Besides sending out various teams to gather intelligence, they had a special elite unit led by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on standby at the Fire Country's border. Once Gensou was found, they were to act immediately.

But the Fourth Raikage had a sudden urge to join them this time.

"Move out! Valley of the End!" Ai ordered decisively.

"Yes!"

All the elite Cloud ninjas, including Killer Bee, had no objections and were rather used to such situations. Having been led by the Raikage on numerous missions, they were familiar with the procedure.

As previously mentioned, the Valley of the End, located within the Fire Country, was near the border of the Hot Springs Country, which was close to the Land of Lightning.

The Cloud ninja unit, having awaited orders nearby, quickly moved towards the Valley of the End once the Fourth Raikage joined them.

Though they were fast, Gensou Hagoromo was faster.

Having everything prepared, and needing a warm-up to get familiar with his body and announce his return to the ninja world, Gensou Hagoromo had set the stage.

As he had expected, the curtain rose right on time.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of rapid movement filled the Valley of the End.

Standing in the sunlight, Gensou raised his eyelids and scanned the area:

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage Ai. The A-B combo is here in person, as expected of Cloud ninjas."

Gensou hadn't expected such a grand lineup.

In the eyes of others, he was merely in the state of Edo Tensei, far weaker than before. Yet, the Cloud ninjas had come in full force, taking no chances.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Very well. Let's see if the Fourth Raikage is as tough as the First Raikage."

The mountain wind howled, whipping the black cloak draped over Gensou.

At the same time.

Boom!!

With powerful legs hitting the ground, the Fourth Raikage, wearing a white cloak, a broad belt, and heavy wrist guards, appeared before Gensou Hagoromo, leading the Cloud ninja

squad.

In the next second, his white cloak billowing behind him, the Fourth Raikage Ai glared fiercely at the man who seemed to be waiting for them, and coldly said:

"You killed my men and are waiting here for us. Hagoromo Gensou, do you, a man who has already died, still think you are the one who stood alongside gods?"

"Standing alongside gods? No! My dream has always been to surpass the gods!"

Gensou spoke from his heart, slowly lowering his black hood to reveal a face well-known and

recorded in all major ninja village archives.

"Surpass gods? Such arrogance! With just-"

Wait!

The Fourth Raikage Ai, having glanced at Gensou's face, was about to continue when he

noticed something off.

He stopped speaking abruptly, his tiger-like eyes widened as he stared at Gensou.

After a few moments.

He finally noticed what was wrong.

Fixing his gaze on Gensou's flawless, lifelike face, the Fourth Raikage Aiwas filled with

surprise:

"Wasn't it said that those reanimated with Edo Tensei looked different from normal people?

Could it be..."

The Fourth Raikage thought of an unbelievable answer.

No!

Impossible!

Perhaps he was mistaken!

Could it be an extremely advanced Transformation Technique?

The Fourth Raikage hurriedly ordered the sensory ninja beside him.

The sensory ninja quickly formed hand seals.

Soon, he shook his head, indicating no signs of a Transformation Technique.

The Fourth Raikage's face darkened.

Slow-witted Killer Bee had no idea what was happening and why his brother seemed so tense.

He was about to ask.

Inside him, the Eight-Tails Gyuki suddenly spoke in an unusually serious tone:

"Bee! Be extremely careful of that man!!"

"He is very, very, very dangerous!"
