On the battlefield, A confronts the Zetsu army.

Haah…

<Lightning Chakra Mode>

A cover his entire body in a lightning cloak and charges through the Zetsu army.

"Lightning STRAIIIGHT!!"

He rams head front in the Zetsu army and mows them like weeds.

Bang… bang…

With each punch, he crushes a Zetsu into mush. He rampages through the battlefield and slaughters the Zetsu one after another like an unstoppable war god.

Fwish… Fwish…

Several Zetsu fuses into one giant Zetsu and attacks A with a flurry of thorns and spikes.

A stops in charge and make a series of quick hand signs.

<Lightning Dragon Bullet>

He spews out a gigantic lightning dragon from his mouth. The lightning dragon blows apart a portion of the giant's Zetsu abomination's right shoulder and chest.

HAAH…

A kicks the ground and jumps in the air.

"GUUILLOOTIIINEE CHHOOOPP!"

He performs a downward kick with the momentum of his fall and the acceleration of his lightning chakra.

BOOM…

A's kick lands on the head of the giant Zetsu abomination and transfers a surge of powerful lightning chakra throughout its body.

The ground beneath the abomination's leg fractures and the force behind the kick crushes it to the white paste.

The yellow eyes of the several Zetsu dim down and the giant Zetsu abomination withers like a dried tree. A uses his lightning chakra to incinerate it to ashes.

Hmm…

He pauses and stares at the giant wall of the Zetsu army blocking his path forward to the location of the Edo Raikages.

"This will take a while!"

Swoosh… swoosh…

Two figures leap from his side.

"Lighting Release: Purple Chidori stream,"

A stream of purple lightning flickers across the battlefield and incinerates several Zetsu soldiers around the Raikage.

"Lead Hurricane!"

A powerful hurricane of wind blows away a major portion of the surrounding Zetsu. Two figures steps beside Raikage and block the incoming attacks from the Zetsu army.

"You two are… Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy!"

He recognizes the two.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Raikage-sama, we got orders from the commander to aid you in the battle. The commander is currently holding the enemy forces from breaching our defense line."

Hmm…

Raikage glances back and notices the swarm of the Zetsu army marching toward the rest of the Allied Shinobi force platoon. Due to his reckless charge, he is currently surrounded.

Kakashi and Might Guy barely caught up to him.

"Raikage-sama, we will open a path for you. Let's continue to move forward."

"Very well!" A riles up his chakra. He grabs an incoming thorn attack from a Zetsu and smashes it to the paste.

Shiing…

Kakashi activates his Sharingan and makes a series of hand signs.

<Earth Release: Rock wall>

He erects a rock platform around them. A and Guy jumps on top of the rock platform and glances at the army of Zetsu.

HAAAAAHHH…

Guy clenches his fists and rifles up his chakra.

"Fifth Gate of Limit: OOPPENNN!"

Shoom…

A burst of green aura escapes from Guy's body. The aura generates a powerful shockwave that pushes away the surrounding Zetsu, clearing the surrounding field.

Chirp… Chii…

Purple lightning flickers around Kakashi's left arm and eye.

Fwoosh…

The next second, the three of them charge through the Zetsu army with a burst of speed.

OH!

Seeing Kakashi and Guy manage to keep up with his current pace, A is slightly surprised.

Their target appears in front of their eyes as they notice the three Edo Kages channeling their chakra toward the giant black cloud in the sky.

"Is that Aȳ?"

The Third Raikage recognizes his son.

"Is he our current enemy?" The second Raikage question.

Kakashi's Guy's and A's charge is cut short by a group of Edo shinobis.

"This is troublesome!"

Kakashi frowns as he recognizes a few of them as former members of the Root.

"It must be Orochimaru!" He clicks his tongue.

"Zenshiro, Raijin, Reiki!" A also frowns as he recognizes a few of them as the former members of the Raikage bodyguard corp.

"Kabuto, that bastard!" A grit his teeth as the three elite Kumo shinobis surround him.

These three were a part of his father's bodyguard unit and they persisted with him to the end of the battle during the Third Shinobi War.

In the end, all three of them perished in the last stand with the Third Raikage. They sacrificed their lives to buy time for their allies to retreat, thus earning the honor of heroes in the Kumogakure. However, now Kabuto is manipulating them to fight against the very shinobis they sacrificed their lives to protect.

This could not help make A's blood boil in anger.

Haah…

A riles up his lightning chakra to flee the encirclement of three shinobis.

Swish… swish… swoosh…

The three shinobis throw down a pair of electrodes toward the ground and make some quick hand signs.

<Lightning Release: Electrode Negation>

They use the conductive properties of their metallic rods to create an electromagnetic shielding field that reduces the effectiveness of A's lightning cloak.

Clang… clang…

A block their giant blades with his vambraces.

"Tch… I can't escape their encirclement." He clicks his tongue in dismay.

"Lord A, the three of us trained you for years. So, we taught you all of your techniques and tricks." Reiki opens his mouth.

The Raikage bodyguard unit consists of four elite shinobis on par with the Kage. Not only do these four shinobis act as a bodyguard for the current Raikage; but they also serve as teachers and training partners for the next Raikage.

"Damn it!" A raises his head and glances at the still-expanding black cloud in the sky.

------------------------------

"Hmm… so that's the current situation of the shinobi world!" Onoki relays the information after the Second Shinobi War to Mū.

"I didn't expect Konohagakure to still thrive after the death of the First and the Second Hokage. And to think that there is another shinobi in this era that can terrorize other nations with just his name." Mū reminisces about his encounter with Madara Uchiha.

"Since the whereabouts of that shinobi are unknown; it's an opportunity for Iwagakure to rise again. After the conflict ends, an alliance becomes a squabble over the spoils of war. The victor there becomes the new dominant power. So, it will be a perfect opportunity for you to gain that advantage." Mū advises him.

"I will keep that in mind!" Onoki verbally agrees to Mū.

However, in his heart, he knew Iwagakure will never get that opportunity as long as Konoha exists. He previously underestimates the power of Konohagakure. But the recent war revealed several secrets of Konoha to the rest of the world.

The current Konoha is leagues above the rest of the Five Great Nations and possesses enough power to topple the combined power of four other great nations.

If Danzo was still alive to witness this scene, then he will reach high heavens from sheer happiness and then die again from spite, knowing he can't command this power.

'Damnit! Kiri and Suna got an advantage over us. Kiri tied marital bonds with Konoha and the son of Kazekage somehow earned the favor of the Hokage. Looks like I have to seek some methods to tie bonds with Konoha. If I remember correctly, the son of Minato is the same age as my granddaughter. After this war ends, I will propose marriage on her behalf.' Onoki cooks up a scheme to earn the favor of Konoha.

"Hehe… enough chit-chat! It's time for work!"

Kabuto's sinister voice echoes in Mū's mind. He involuntarily raises his hands and makes a series of hand signs.

"Onoki, be careful! I have lost control over my body." Mū warns Onoki as he completes the hand signs and joins the thumb and index finger of both his hands together.

A white orb of chakra forms between them as Mū condenses his chakra into a cone.

Onoki senses the threat and responds with hand signs on his own. He also joins his thumb and index fingers together and generates a white cube of dense chakra between his fingers.

Both Mū and Onoki open their mouth and yell at the same time.

"Dust Release: Atomic Extinction Ray,"

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique,"

SHOOM…

A bright white light engulfs the skies over the allied shinobi force as several shinobi raises their head in bewilderment.

(Note:- In this ff, Atomic Extinction Ray fires a beam of disintegration ray in the shape of a cone while Detachment of the Primitive World Technique generates a cube in front of the user and disintegrates everything within the volume of the cube.)
