Swoosh… whoosh…

Jiraiya dodges one attack after another from Hashirama.

"What's with his strength? Even when he is summoned with half of his strength, he is this powerful; I can't imagine how strong was he during his peak."

Jiraiya warily stares at Hashirama, who relentlessly attacks him.

"That doesn't mean, I will sit back and watch."

Whoosh… Bang…

Jiraiya blocks an attack from Hashirama and kicks him to create some distance.

Swoosh… swoosh…

He quickly makes some hand signs.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique"

Jiraiya spews out a condensed beam of flame towards Hashirama.

Slam…

Hashirama slams his palm on the ground and creates a giant wood dome to block the fire jutsu.

"Damn… he didn't even make any hand sign."

Jiraiya curses.

Rumble… Rumble…

The ground beneath Jiraiya trembles as multiple tree roots erupt from the ground and strangle Jiraiya.

"Here comes the Wood Release. Damnit, I have to get serious or I might die here."

Snap…

Jiraiya bites his thumb and makes some hand signs.

"Summoning Jutsu"

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

Inside the village,

Whoosh… whoosh…

Multiple Sound shinobi dressed as spectators jump out from the audience. Another person in anbu outfit makes a cut-throat sign towards the shinobis.

The sound shinobis start to attack the asleep civilians and Ninjas.

Clang… clang…

Kakashi and Guy block their attack as Kakashi signals Guy.

"Guy… follow the plan. I will take care of the rest."

"Yes." Guy nods his head.

He takes a Taijutsu stance.

"Leaf Whirlwind"

He sweeps his leg and kicks them away. Kakashi flickers towards the location of Tsunade and Rasa's fight.

Whoosh…

He performs a backflip and avoids multiple kunais.

"What's the hurry! Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan!"

Baki blocks his way as he confronts Kakashi.

"I will be your opponent."

Swoosh…

Baki pinches his fingers together as he creates a small invisible wind blade in between them.

"Wind Release: Blade of Wind"

Woosh… whoosh…

Baki releases a barrage of wind blades at Kakashi.

Swoosh… swoosh…

Kakashi dodges the wind blades and creates some distance.

"Baki of the sand! A master user of Wind Release; looks like it is going to be a tough battle."

Swish…

Kakashi draws his blade and faces Baki.

Inside a room near Hokage Office,

A group of people dressed in Shinto priest uniform stretches their hands in front of their chest as they hold a giant water sphere.

"Keep the barrier intact. We can't let the enemies breach the barrier."

The leader of the Barrier Corp has sweat on his face as he struggles to maintain the barrier.

Whoosh…

A figure enters the headquarter of the barrier team.

Swish… swish… slash…

The figure slices the heads of barrier team members. The figure removes his mask to reveal his face.

Kabuto adjusts his spectacle as he stares at the dead body of the barrier corps.

"Nothing will stand in the way of Orochimaru-Sama's revenge."

Outside Konoha,

Rumble… rumble…

The barrier crumbles into pieces.

Jōseki and Chiyo stare at the crumbling barrier as Jōseki signals Suna ninjas.

Whoosh… whoosh…

The Suna ninja infiltrates Konoha.

"Stop them. We can't allow them to invade our village."

The members of the Akimichi and Aburame clan confront Sand shinobis.

Whoosh…

A battalion of Suna ninjas separates from the rest of the group and engages with Akimichi and Aburame clan.

-----------

Inside the inner perimeter,

"They are here."

Fugaku is standing on the rooftop as he surveys the village. He activates his Sharingan as he notices the infiltrating Suna ninjas.

"Captain! We will stop them."

The members of the police force gather around him. Fugaku waves his hand as the group disperses.

"The other clans are busy with evacuating civilians to safe shelter. We have to hold them back till backup arrives."

Whoosh…

Fugaku jumps from the rooftop and flickers towards the Suna group.

Swoosh… swoosh…

He makes some hand signs.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu"

Fugaku spews out a giant fireball at the Suna group.

Woosh…

Jōseki takes out a scroll from his pocket and unfolds it.

Poof…

White smoke appears from the scroll as a puppet appears in front of him.

Swish… swish…

Jōseki weaves his fingers as multiple chakra threads attach to the puppet.

"Secret Black Technique: Mechanical Light Shield Wall"

The chakra stretches out its right arm as it segments into four sections.

Swoosh… Fwoosh…

The four sections radiate chakra and form a light blue, thin shield.

Boom…

The fireball collides with the shield.

Whoosh…

The puppet is pushed back by the momentum of the fireball, but it is able to neutralize the full brunt of the fireball.

Fugaku's expression turns serious as a frown appears on his face.

"This is going to be rough."

At a distance,

Chiyo nods her head.

"Despite your foul demeanour, your skills with puppets are still notable."

"I dedicated my entire life for the sake of Sunagakure. How can I falter when Suna is in such dire state?"

Jōseki weaves his hand as the puppet opens its arm.

"Red Secret Technique: Machine Gun Blow"

Whoosh…

The arm separates from the puppet and whizzes towards Fugaku.

Snap… snap…

Various cross-sections open on the arm as the puppet launches a barrage of senbons at Fugaku.

The senbons are coated in a purple fluid.

"I won't fall for the same trick again. Sharingan…"

Fugaku activates his Sharingan and takes out a kunai.

Clank… clank… clank...

He swiftly deflects all of them.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Stream"

Fugaku makes some quick hand signs and releases a bolt of lightning.

Crackle… crackle…

The lightning flickers towards the puppet and destroys the arm.

Crackle… crackle…

Lightning crackles in Fugaku's arm as his eyes meet with Jōseki.

Jōseki recognizes the Sharingan. They are the members of the Uchiha Police Force.

"The Uchiha clan members. They were one of the feared adversaries during the Second Shinobi War. Their Kekkei Genkai made them one of the most difficult enemies to handle."

Whoosh…

Jōseki waves his hand as the puppet opens its mouth.

Fwoosh…

The puppet releases a cloud of black smoke from its mouth. The smoke quickly engulfs the area and blocks the vision.

"But this time, I came prepared."

Jōseki weaves his fingers as the puppet enters into the black smoke.

"Black Secret Technique: Poison Mist Hell: Hundred Continuous Firing"

Multiple cross-sections open on the arms of the puppet and release a barrage of Senbons.

Jōseki turns to Lady Chiyo and signals her.

"Lady Chiyo! Release the One-tails in the center of Konoha."

Humph…

Chiyo harrumphs and grabs Gaara and flickers deeper into Konoha.

Chiyo reaches the center of the village as she inspects the village.

'White Fang!... Where are you?'

"Kenjutsu: Fang of Light"

Swish…

A white blade of chakra strikes towards Chiyo.

Hmph…

Chiyo scoffs at the white blade and performs a backflip to avoid the blade.

"WHITE FANG! I FINALLY FOUND YOU."

Chiyo's eyes turn red as he clenches her fist.

"Damn you, White Fang! Revenge will be mine."

Chiyo dashes towards Sakumo.

Bang…

Whoosh… whoosh…

"Kenjutsu: A thousand Cut"

Sakumo draws his sword and releases a brilliant display of Swordsmanship.

Slash… slash…

The white chakra blade slices through Chiyo's figure.

Poof…

White smoke engulfs Chiyo as she turns into a puppet.

Whoosh…

The real Chiyo jumps down from the top of a nearby tree.

"White fang!"

Whoosh…

Multiple kunais floats beside her as she launches them towards Sakumo.

"Red Secret Technique: Manipulating Attack Blades"

Woosh… woosh… woosh…

Clang… clang…

Sakumo deflects the kunai as he confronts Chiyo.

"Chiyo! I am sorry for the death of your son- and daughter-in-law. But war is war. Countless lives are lost meaninglessly in a war."

"White Fang! I won't forgive you. You will pay for their death."

Swoosh…

Chiyo waves her hand as a scroll appears in her hand.

"Chikamatsu collection"

She summons a set of 10 puppets. The puppets float beside her as she faces Sakumo.

Sakumo recognizes the ten floating puppets in white garments as his expression turns ugly.

"Chikamatsu Collection!... It is the puppet collection of the first-ever puppet user of the shinobi world, Monzaemon Chikamatsu; a legend who perfected the art of puppet mastery.

These puppets were his ultimate creation; capable of laying waste to an entire country single-handedly."

Swish… swish…

Chiyo waves her hand as the puppets float in front of her.

"White Secret Technique: Collection of Illusions"
