Chapter 319: Cap 297: Team Deathmatch
Chaos had again begun on the scene as the two enemy forces clashed on all fronts.
The Army of the Elemental Nations had a clear advantage over their enemies by their massive numbers, but this advantage slowly faded as the Army of White Zetsu showed a skill they had never shown before.

"These things are exploding now?!" - exclaimed A in terror as he saw half his forces eliminated by the explosions caused by his enemies, although to his 'relief' he was not alone in experiencing this problem because the other Kage also had a horrible expression on their faces as they watched their forces disappear. The only good side to this situation was that with all the bodies of his allies destroyed by the explosion, they could not be used to create any more of these things.
A was with huge burn marks covering most of his body because, like his forces, he had been fighting at close range, which was natural for him.
"Brother..." - said B, who was finally fully recovered and ready to fight despite not having Gyuki inside him anymore.
"Use long-range Jutsu to kill those things!" - roared A as his brother and shinobis nodded firmly - "If those things get too close, use Shunshin no Jutsu to get out of range!"
"Hai! - exclaimed the shinobis as they stood on guard.
"I wonder how the others are..." - muttered A as he narrowed his eyes as he noticed a huge wave of sand appearing on the eastern side of the battlefield - "I guess I'm thinking too much, I mean, Kazekage-dono still has his Bijuu inside him..."
* * *
"Stand back..." - Gaara said neutrally as he began making hand seals.
"What do you plan to do, Gaara?" - Kankuro asked seriously.
"What I should have done a long time ago... Ryusa Bakoryu (Sand Tsunami)" - answered Gaara as he saw the results of not having finished everything quickly. Dozens of his loyal shinobis were lying on the ground with bodies destroyed by the explosions, so he decided to pay them with the same coin.
The whole army of Suna has elevated thanks to the enormous cloud of sand that Gaara had created, only to open their eyes when they noticed how out of nowhere a huge wave of sand appeared below them.
"That is the power of our Kazekage..." - murmured the Suna shinobis with emotion as they saw the strength of their current leader. For a village, there was no greater honor than to have a powerful leader because this showed that its future was prosperous.
The wave of sand swept away everything in its path, forest, small hills, enemies, leaving the scene of a huge desert, but the matter did not end there. Gaara slowly made it as if he was squeezing something, only to make the sand start shaking as if he was excited - "Sabaku Taiso (Funeral of the Imperial Sand Waterfall)..."
After those words came out of his mouth, the sound of a huge explosion resounded under the sand, proving that his enemies had been annihilated.
* * * * *
"I forgot about the Ichibi..." - Zetsu muttered as he frowned. He was being sincere this time because after gathering most of the Shukaku chakra, they had forgotten his presence, at least until now.
"Thank goodness I have a plan B," replied Obito, who was still a little tired from using the Rinne Tensei in Madara.
"Oh? What did you do?" - asked Zetsu as he squinted when he was just informed about that contingency plan.
"Divide and conquer," Obito replied neutrally, "I made Menma use Edo Tensei again"
"OK, I'm surprised" - said Zetsu as he burst out laughing - "Let me guess, you brought those idiots back to life?"
"Exactly... with this, they will have to look the other way" - said Obito normally.
"Well? Where did you send them?" - asked Zetsu while raising an eyebrow - "Perhaps to Kumo because it is the place most susceptible to an attack? Maybe to Suna because it is the place the furthest away and with the most precarious situation? Or even to Kiri where the shinobis that remain cannot do anything in the face of an attack from our old comrades?"
"No..." - Obito answered with neutrality - "I sent them to Konoha..."
"Your hatred for Konoha will be your downfall, Uchiha Obito" - said Zetsu with a scowl - "You should have sent them to another village that is much easier to attack"
"I send them where I want, so I recommend you not to use that tone with me because I am not your servant, Zetsu" - said Obito with neutrality, not noticing the hateful expression of the black being.
* * * * *
"They say that even death cannot cure stupidity... and now I'm verifying it" - said Kakuzu when he saw how Deidara and Sasori kept arguing about which of their two arts was the best.
"I don't give a shit" - said Hidan with neutrality - "I just want to start this massacre so that I can give enough sacrifices to Jashin-sama"
"OK, I promise not to bother you for a week as I promised" - said a voice known to the four revived shinobis - "I never thought that redhead's instincts were so effective, however, it has been a while since we last saw you, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu"
"Itachi... Kisame..." - said Hidan as he narrowed his eyes - "I guess I finally have a chance to kill you as I wished"
"3 vs. 4" - said Itachi with neutrality, and as if he had heard it, a young man with white hair and Oto's clothes appeared in front of the group.
"Orochimaru's pet?" - asked Deidara in surprise when he saw the last descendant of the Kaguya clan, who only responded with silence.
"4 vs. 4" - added Kisame as he watched as someone else appeared from nowhere.
"Sorry for the delay! Jiraiya-sama has arrived!" - said the Sannin as he made an epic entry, a pity that he stumbled upon the only stone in the road.
". . ." - the others stared at him with a drop of sweat as Itachi instructed them to ignore that.
"Don't ignore me!" - shouted Jiraiya in annoyance - "Anyway, we are now 4 vs. 4"
"They still have an advantage," responded Kisame.
Jiraiya tried to say something else, but quickly backed off because Sasori was attacking him - "You know, brat? It is impolite to attack someone when they are trying to talk"
"I'm only attacking the weakest link in the group," answered Sasori with neutrality. "Not to mention that I have some issues to resolve with you Sannin"
". . ." - Jiraiya only frowned silently as he began to concentrate so that he could activate his Senjutsu, a pity Sasori would not allow him to do so.
"I guess that was the signal," murmured Itachi as he activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. "I hope you fight with everything you have, because if you don't, then I'm sorry to say that your time in this world will be shorter than you think"
"Devour, Samehada! - roared Kisame as he released a large amount of chakra.
"Why do you always have to say such strange things?" - Itachi asked neutrally.
"It comes from my soul," replied Kisame as he rolled his eyes.
". . ." - Kimimaro, for his part, said nothing. He just activated his curse seal to the maximum, changing the shade of his skin to a dark gray.
"Okay, that's enough!" - exclaimed Jiraiya in annoyance as he saw that he could not concentrate with an opponent like Sasori in front of him - "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
*Poof!*
"Do you need help Jiraiya-chan?" - Shima asked with a smile, only to get serious about noticing who was around - "I guess we'll talk later..."
"I want you to help me get into Sennin Mode" - replied Jiraiya with embarrassment as he went back to dodging the Sasori attacks - "As you can see, I'm in a situation where I can't concentrate enough"
"Entering the battlefield without the Sennin Mode..." - sighed Fukasaku as he rolled his eyes - "That's why I like the redhead better"
"Hey!" - Jiraiya could only give him an annoyed stare.
"Just kidding, don't sulk, Jiraiya" - smiled Fukasaku, just to get as serious as his wife. They quickly jumped on Jiraiya's shoulders and started gathering the Natural Energy of the surroundings - "We're going to help you, but next time, try to get into Sennin mode before fighting, especially if your opponents are shinobis revived by the Edo Tensei".
"Thank you, Ma, Pa" - answered Jiraiya seriously as he took a combat pose, more precisely speaking this was the specialty of Mount Myoboku, the Kawazu Kumite (Toad Kata).
"It is time for me to prove that Jiraiya the Gallant, the Gama Sennin of Mount Myoboku, the number one Heartthrob of the Eleven Nations, should not be despised..." - said Jiraiya, only to again dodge the attack of the red-headed of Suna - "At least let me introduce myself properly!"
