I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

With a resounding crash, Nagasawa's Color of Supreme King Haki rapidly caused the underground chamber to crumble. The terrifying aura left everyone astonished, and even Hashirama, who had been making a clever look on his face was now replaced by a cautious look.

While the immense pressure primarily targeted Sasuke, everyone else in the room also felt nearly as much pressure.

Even though Hiruzen knew Sasuke, he didn't stand up for him because he threatened to destroy Konoha, and the Hokage were extremely sensitive to those words.

Tobirama crossed his arms and found it amusing that an Uchiha, known for their evil deeds, had the audacity to claim he would destroy Konoha in front of the five Kage.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, raised his fingers silently, attempting to restrain the four Hokage to protect Sasuke.

As Orochimaru tried to exert his control, Tobirama's smile disappeared, replaced with a frown.

"How is this possible? The precision of this Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation is much higher than the last time. You shouldn't be able to control me, especially considering how powerful I am," Tobirama questioned, his expression becoming increasingly stern.

Orochimaru gave a faint smile but remained silent. If even the creator of Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation was surprised, he'd take it as a compliment.

However, when Orochimaru noticed that Hashirama's face didn't change, Orochimaru's smile faded. He couldn't control that man; he was too powerful. Orochimaru felt that Minato, Tobirama, and Hiruzen combined couldn't even match Hashirama's strength.

Despite this, Orochimaru did his best to restrain the other three Hokage, and addressed Nagasawa, "Let's call you 'Fourth Hokage' for now. Please, put away your killing intent. Forgive Sasuke's impertinence earlier; he merely wants to ask some questions and doesn't necessarily intend to destroy Konoha."

Orochimaru was taking a gamble. He believed that unlike the rest, the First Hokage had more compassion and wouldn't intervene. However, the pressure Nagasawa bared at them had caught him off guard. Though he used gentle words, Orochimaru had underestimated Nagasawa's strength.

In your world, it might have been a different story, but in this alternate dimension, Nagasawa refused to be threatened by Orochimaru. He believed that Orochimaru was attempting to intimidate him by controlling the three Hokage. Nagasawa was also upset when Orochimaru asked him to forgive Sasuke earlier.

A sudden and violent encounter took place in the underground chamber. Tobirama and Hiruzen suddenly were thrown into the walls with tremendous force.

Orochimaru, who was usually calm regardless of the situation, was surprised by the swift attack. Just as Orochimaru finished his sentence, Nagazawa already knocked away the Second and Third Hokage and placed his hand on Orochimaru's shoulder.

Orochimaru was caught off guard and had no time to respond. The situation had changed instantly. Orochimaru couldn't stop Nagasawa in time by controlling the Second and Third Hokage.

However, since they were revived with Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, the Third and Second Hokage quickly jumped out of the walls.

But at that moment, Nagasawa said.

"Don't move. If you move even a finger, you'll be burned to ashes. Consider this a warning for your own sake."

Orochimaru immediately stopped. Upon sensing Nagasawa's aura, he could feel the incredibly intense heat like the sun. The snake Orochimaru had just summoned from beneath his feet was instantly burned to ashes because of this.

Orochimaru had a feeling that if he made another move, that powerful flame would probably burn him to ashes.

"I don't mind forgiving others, but only if it's my own choice," Nagasawa said each word with overwhelming pressure.

After hearing Nagasawa's words, Orochimaru actually breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that Nagasawa was a reasonable person and that the initial tension had been due to their lack of knowledge about Nagasawa's personality and strength.

"In fact, Sasuke is not solely determined to destroy Konoha. It's just that due to his older brother, he now harbors many doubts. You, Sarutobi-sensei, should be know this to some extent," Orochimaru explained.

"Is it about Itachi? Do you already know the truth about Itachi? How is he doing now?" The Third Hokage wanted to inquire further about Itachi. He felt a sense of responsibility and guilt regarding Itachi's fate.

Since Nagasawa put away his Color of Supreme King Haki, Sasuke finally could speak, "He's dead. I killed him to attain Mangekyou Sharingan."

The Third Hokage sighed havily upon hearing this news, and then told everyone about Itachi's story.

"What a pity. He was indeed a talented young shinobi," Hashirama said regretfully.

Minato was blaming himself as he died too early and failed to protect the village.

"It can't be helped. After all, you're up against the ferocious Nine-Tails!" Hiruzen tried to console Minato.

However, Nagasawa seemed surprised by the mention of the Nine-Tails. "Nine-Tails? Can that little fox kill people too?" he asked, sounding genuinely astonished.

"Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be possible" Hashirama explained. 

"Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have been possible," Hashirama pondered and then spoke.

Minato was speechless.

Dying at the hands of Nine-Tails was truly a disgrace as a Hokage.

"Little fox? How infuriating! I will bite him to death once I'm free!" The Nine-Tails roared furiously in Minato's inner world. He was the mighty Nine-Tails, and now he was being referred to as a little fox by Nagasawa.

"Nine-Tails, calm down, don't get angry," Minato consoled the Nine-Tails with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"No wonder you looked familiar. So, you're Sasuke. It turns out your life in this world is pretty tough," after teasing Minato from this world, Nagasawa made fun of Sasuke.

"Do you know Itachi?" Sasuke looked at Nagasawa, a man so powerful that he didn't dare to move at all in his presence.

"Of course, I know. Itachi is my disciple. How could I not know him?" Nagasawa nodded.

This was really getting too real.

"Aren't you the Hokage? Why would you be Itachi's teacher? Shouldn't the Hokage be wary of Uchiha Clan?" Sasuke asked.

"Being cautious doesn't mean being hostile. In fact, as a Hokage, one should be vigilant about any Clan that could pose a threat to Konoha," Nagasawa explained.

"In fact, not only do I have an Uchiha disciple, but I also have several Uchiha subordinates. Among them, the most outstanding is Shisui Uchiha, and I've even considered him as the next Hokage," Nagasawa said calmly.

"Shisui is indeed an exceptional young man," the Third Hokage agreed. At this moment, he no longer questioned Nagasawa's identity.

Considering how powerful he was and the fact that he knew Shisui, he seemed undoubtedly fit to be a Hokage.

"Sasuke, if you have any other questions, you may have to be quick; we're running out of time," Orochimaru reminded as Sasuke was getting distracted when Itachi was mentioned.

"Uchiha Madara has been resurrected and has incited an unprecedented Great Shinobi World War out there. This is one of the reasons I summoned all of you," Orochimaru quickly explained.

But in reality, Orochimaru's explanation was unnecessary, as all the Hokage had already sensed the immense and powerful Chakra from a distance.

"Carry on without me; I have an important matter to attend to. I'll try to be as quick as possible," Nagasawa said gravely and then disappeared in an instant before everyone's sight.

He had heard the story about Hashirama and Madara, and he didn't want to listen to it again. However, Hashirama's guidance was valuable for Sasuke, so Nagasawa didn't drag the Hokages to the battlefield right away.

As for the important matter, of course, it was to buy some dango!

"Lack of sugar-level can affect combat performance, and this is my way of preparing for battle," Nagasawa tried to reason with himself.

From a high vantage point overlooking the whole of Konoha, Nagasawa started looking for the location of the dango shop.

This version of Konoha wasn't the same as his world's Konoha. It had gone through Pain's assault, which had virtually flattened the entire village, and the architecture had significantly changed. Nagasawa had no other option but to search like this.

Nagasawa soon found the location of the dango shop, but unfortunately, it seemed to be closed, perhaps because it was late.

Nagasawa had no choice but to go to a dessert shop. He was actually interested in checking whether this world had Owner Watanabe like in his world.

Nagasawa thought for a moment and bought some dango and cakes.

Eating alone was not a good habit; he had to share.

By the time Nagasawa returned to the underground chamber of the Uchiha Shrine, Hashirama had just finished his lecture for Sasuke. Sasuke had also made up his mind that he couldn't allow the village his brother cherished to be destroyed like this. He was determined to inherit his brother's will and protect Konoha.

"So, you went shopping, Fourth?" Seeing Nagasawa coming in with shopping bags, Hashirama scratched his head and asked.

It turned out that the so-called important matter was actually shopping.

"Huh? I've been here the whole time," Minato, who was too busy thinking about Naruto, didn't catch on and thought Hashirama was referring to him.

"You're quite an airhead. If it wasn't for the fact that we're about to go to the battlefield to fight against Madara, I'd definitely laugh at you," Tobirama teased.

"I went to buy some desserts," Nagasawa corrected, then added, "Sugar is a very important thing. Without sugar, we won't even be able to raise our sword. I bought a lot of dango and cakes. Do you guys want some?"

"Hahaha, then give me a piece of cake, so I can taste if the food in this era is better," Hashirama laughed heartily. He found Nagasawa really amusing, and he liked his sense of humor.

"Not you too, big brother! You two Fourth Hokages are really a weird bunch, aren't you?" Tobirama shook his head in disbelief, covering his face.

One was an airhead, while the other had the audacity to go shopping despite the battle that was about to take place. And he even said that sugar was indispensable.

Hiruzen was bewildered as he couldn't possibly be responsible for the Hokage from another world.

In the end, only Hashirama and Suigetsu took up Nagasawa's offer. The rest of them didn't eat the sweets brought by Nagasawa.

Sasuke was baffled as Hashirama and Nagasawa, the two most powerful individuals among them, casually joked around as they ate the sweets.

Of course, Hashirama and Nagasawa knew the importance of the situation. The Allied Shinobi Forces was still in battle, so they quickly finished their desserts and headed to the battlefield from separate directions.

.....

When the massive Tailed Beast Ball destroyed the Allied Shinobi Forces' joint attacks, they had resigned to their fate.

At this moment, Killer B suddenly entered Tailed Beast Mode, trying to use his body to block the Tailed Beast Ball. However, even that didn't work, and the Tailed Beast Ball was rapidly heading toward the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Some had already closed their eyes, waiting for death, but as they shut their eyes, the long awaited Tailed Beast Ball didn't hit them, so they quickly opened their eyes.

They saw a person clad in Hokage's mantle, radiating a red aura, standing in front of Allied Shinobi Forces, and the colossal Tailed Beast Ball had disappeared from their sight.

"Is that the Hokage?" someone asked when they spotted Nagasawa in his Hokage mantle.

"No, he's not the Hokage. The current Hokage should be Lady Tsunade," a Konoha ninja corrected.

"And why does it say 'Fourth Hokage' on his back? Didn't the Fourth Hokage have blond hair," someone else inquired.

Right when they discussed Minato, Minato also arrived at the battlefield, flashing in a golden light and appearing beside Nagasawa.

"Am I too late?" Minato asked when he saw nothing in front of him.

"Not at all. You came just in time to feel the explosion," Nagasawa said with a smile.

As Nagasawa finished speaking, a violent explosion shook the ground, and along with the deafening blast, the other three Hokages also arrived one by one, standing beside Nagasawa and Minato.

"As expected of the Fourth Hokage, your speed is incredible," Tobirama praised.

He was once hailed as the fastest Shinobi in the world, but today, two Shinobi were faster than him.

"Nagasawa is faster," Minato remarked with a smile.

To make it easier to distinguish, Nagasawa told everyone his name, so Minato directly addressed him by his name. Referring to him as the Fourth Hokage would feel strange to Minato, as if he was talking to himself.

"The First, Second, Third, and Fourth Hokages have all joined the fray!" Some of the Konoha Shinobi quickly recognized the four Hokages present.

However, they were still puzzled about who Nagasawa was and why he was wearing the Hokage's mantle. On top of that, he seemed to be in friendly terms with the other Hokages.
