- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 186
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions roared like thunder, shaking the village.
Several massive summoning beasts rampaged through the area, wreaking havoc alongside members of the Sound Village who spread destruction wherever they went.
Despite the Leaf Village’s preparations, they were unable to immediately fend off the onslaught at the start of the war.
To make matters worse, this time they faced an uninjured Gaara.
A sandstorm swept across the battlefield, forcing the Leaf ninjas to keep their distance.
“Sasuke, let’s go!” At this critical moment, Naruto stepped up.
Calling out to his teammate, they charged into the storm to confront Gaara and settle the score.
Soon after, a terrifying roar shook the air—Shukaku, the One-Tail, revealed itself within the Leaf Village.
Compared to the smaller serpents, a tailed beast was a true weapon of mass destruction.
Left unchecked for mere minutes, it could obliterate the entire village.
Fortunately, their savior arrived just in time.
Summoning Jutsu!
A massive plume of white smoke rose, and Gamabunta, the pipe-smoking toad boss, made a domineering entrance.
Riding on his back was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin and the Toad Sage.
The arrival of such a powerful figure immediately lifted the spirits of the Leaf ninjas, making Shukaku seem less intimidating.
In truth, handling a rampaging jinchūriki was not a difficult task for Jiraiya in his current state.
What truly concerned him was the battle elsewhere.
“Orochimaru…” Jiraiya muttered gravely, his gaze instinctively shifting toward the ongoing fight within the barrier.
He failed to notice a shadow creeping silently toward him.
“Prepare to die!” Kimimaro, with his bone blade, struck directly at the white-haired man’s heart.
Yet in the next moment, the target disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Kimimaro wasn’t surprised.
A man on par with Lord Orochimaru wouldn’t be so easily defeated. This fight would require his full strength.
The curse mark spread across Kimimaro’s body, transforming him into a demonic form. With a fluid motion, he extracted his spine, wielding it like a whip.
The blood-red bones even made Jiraiya feel a slight chill.
Jiraiya had seen countless strange abilities, but Kimimaro’s grotesque powers were a first.
Like Rock Lee, Jiraiya initially tried to overpower him with brute strength.
Unsurprisingly, physical attacks were ineffective against Kimimaro’s bones. On the contrary, Jiraiya sustained minor injuries himself.
Meanwhile, Shukaku continued its relentless assault, demolishing houses as if they were made of paper.
If this continued, the Leaf Village would be reduced to rubble.
“Sigh… looks like I’ll have to go all out.”
Clapping his hands together, Jiraiya began to draw in natural energy.
For now, he entrusted Kimimaro’s attacks to others.
“Hm?” At that moment, a green blur entered the fray.
Kimimaro, mid-sprint, was forced to block a devastating spinning kick with his bone shield.
Taking a classic taijutsu stance, Might Guy grinned, his brilliant white teeth gleaming. “Jiraiya-sama, leave this one to me.”
“Alright. Be careful,” Jiraiya said, not refusing the offer. He indeed needed someone to take the pressure off him.
With Kimimaro held at bay for a while, Jiraiya could focus on subduing the young jinchūriki.
Once Shukaku was no longer a threat, the remaining enemies wouldn’t be as dangerous.
Amidst the chaos, Kakashi quickly dealt with his opponent, including a rogue chunin examiner attempting a sneak attack.
Unbeknownst to most, the hapless attacker was a reincarnator from an opposing faction.
With the Leaf Destruction Plan underway, reincarnators from both sides had to choose their allegiance.
While some sided with the Leaf, others aided the Sand Village, like the one who ambushed Kakashi.
Unfortunately for him, he picked the wrong target. Kakashi ended the fight in mere seconds, slicing the enemy’s throat with his kunai.
Flicking the blood off his blade, Kakashi moved to assist his comrades.
Might Guy’s strength relied heavily on the Eight Gates technique, just as Kakashi’s combat prowess depended on his Sharingan.
Without these, neither could significantly influence the current battle.
From Kakashi’s perspective, Guy defeating Kimimaro wasn’t a problem, but someone would need to guard him during his recovery phase.
As his closest friend, Kakashi felt this duty fell to him.
However, war rarely aligns with personal intentions.
Just as Kakashi prepared to act, a figure blocked his path.
“Hatake’s brat! Today, you pay for your father’s sins!” Chiyo declared.
Sakumo Hatake had killed her son, and Chiyo was here for revenge.
“I’ve waited for this day for so long!”
In the shelter, civilians huddled together under the protection of ninjas and ANBU.
“We should help,” a civilian-turned-retired-ninja suggested.
Many present were former ninjas living as civilians. In times of peace, they lived ordinary lives, but in war, they donned their headbands once more.
Now that their village was in peril, some wanted to join the fight.
“No!” A ninja refused firmly.
The situation hadn’t yet deteriorated to the point where they needed civilians to fight. If that time came, orders from the village leaders would follow.
“Alright…” the man reluctantly sat back down.
His wife, seated beside him, patted his shoulder gently, trying to offer comfort. But before she could speak, someone grabbed her roughly by the shoulder.
Turning her head, she saw a gaping, bloodied maw.
By the time screams erupted around them, the husband finally noticed the danger.
Years of peace had dulled his senses, leaving him unaware of the threat lurking nearby.
Watching the demon gnawing on his wife, the man’s rage erupted. He smashed the creature’s head with his fists.
The attacker, merely a transformed human, was no match for a former ninja.
The battle was short and decisive, but the man’s wife was beyond saving.
Her screams seemed to trigger something, plunging the once-quiet shelter into chaos.
“Dear God, there are man-eating monsters!”
“Demons! Run for your lives!”
“Someone help us!”
“You’re not escaping! None of you are!”
The lurking demons, having hidden for so long, finally revealed their claws at this critical moment.
There was no other choice; they couldn’t disobey the Demon King’s orders. Even knowing the risks, they had to press forward.
Some were lucky enough to get by unnoticed, like the demon earlier who barely managed to kill one person before being immediately captured by a ninja.
Of course, not all demons feared ninjas. Some with unique abilities could even fight on par with the ANBU.
“Pests! Watch as I slaughter you all!”
Blood Demon Art: Iron Resilient Leaves!
The demon’s flesh and blood erupted, scattering like falling leaves, covering the surroundings completely.
When the leaves settled, nothing within a hundred meters remained alive.
He wasn’t the only powerful one. Within the shelter, other demons began unleashing their devastating abilities.
Blood Demon Art: Vine Blossom!
Twisting vines spread across the space, their gaping maws devouring children in a single bite.
Blood Demon Art: Monster Fox Blaze!
Pink demonic flames engulfed everything, consuming all in their path.
Blood Demon Art: Thunder Beast Ascension!
A demon transformed into a storm of thunder, launching indiscriminate attacks against the Leaf villagers.
Scenes of hell unfolded as terror overwhelmed the villagers. No longer able to suppress their fear, they fled from the shelter.
They would rather face death at the hands of the enemy than be devoured piece by piece by these horrific demons.
“Damn it!” Realizing the severity of the situation, one ninja immediately ran to report to the village’s leadership.
Meanwhile, others continued fighting the man-eating monsters.
The villagers’ reappearance in the streets only added to the difficulty of the battle for the Leaf ninjas.
The enemy would show no mercy, forcing the ninjas to protect the villagers while fighting.
“How did it come to this?” someone lamented.
But the one who felt the most heartbreak was undoubtedly Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.
He wanted to question Orochimaru, but seeing the state of his former student, he knew words would be futile.
The resurrected First Hokage’s power was beyond imagination. Hiruzen knew he was outmatched, with only one path left: mutual destruction.
However, Orochimaru wouldn’t give him that chance.
The earlier skirmish had merely been a test to gauge how much of the First Hokage’s strength could be unleashed.
Now that the assessment was complete, it was time to bring this war to an end.
“Sensei, I’m sure you’ll treasure the sight of what’s to come.”
Under Orochimaru’s control, Hashirama Senju moved like a puppet, unleashing his technique.
Wood Release Secret Technique: Birth of the World of Trees!
Unlike the minor display in the original story, the trees sprang up instantly, filling the barrier and growing rapidly out of control.
“You can lift the barrier now,” Orochimaru suddenly commanded.
When Orochimaru revealed his true strength, it was clear no one from the Leaf could oppose him.
Barrier or not, who could stand against Hashirama wielding even seventy percent of his power?
“Speaking of which, I must thank that individual,” Orochimaru said with a sly smile, his casual demeanor tinged with an unsettling allure.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was struggling to hold on.
Despite his mastery of taijutsu, he was quickly entangled by the ever-growing trees.
“This won’t do…”
His eyes hardened with resolve as he began to push his body beyond its limits, recklessly drawing on his life force to refine chakra.
He had to unleash a combined technique he could only perform at his peak, or he wouldn’t even get the chance to use the Reaper Death Seal.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Four clones stood beside him. Together, the five of them unleashed powerful jutsu from all five chakra natures.
Wind Release: Cyclone!
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!
Lightning Release: Thunderclap!
The five elements merged, culminating in a cataclysmic explosion.
This was Hiruzen Sarutobi’s trump card:
Five Elements Grand Bombardment Technique!
The earth-shaking blast cleared the surrounding forest.
Gasping for breath, Hiruzen stepped forward, ready to use a sealing technique to perish alongside his student. But then his gaze fell upon a colossal figure that blotted out the sky.
“Wood Golem Jutsu. I’m sure you remember this, sensei,” Orochimaru’s voice echoed from above.
The towering wood construct, an advanced Wood Release technique exclusive to the God of Shinobi, stood a hundred meters tall, rivaling a fully realized Susanoo.
With unparalleled strength in both offense and defense, it could even catch a Tailed Beast Bomb with one hand.
In other words, this was an enemy beyond numbers, a nightmare incarnate.
“You…” Hiruzen stared at the towering giant, overwhelmed by despair.
That overwhelming power was unattainable even in his prime.
Hiruzen knew the Reanimation Jutsu, but never imagined it could truly resurrect the First Hokage’s full strength.
“Is the Leaf Village truly doomed?” he murmured.
At that critical moment, Might Guy forcibly opened the Seventh Gate, delivering a kick that sent his opponent flying three kilometers away.
Landing softly, his body radiating blue steam, Guy stood with his back to everyone, raising a triumphant thumbs-up.
“Leave the rest to me.”
“The Blue Beast of the Leaf will take the stage once more!”
