"Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
A luminous pillar streaked downward, bleaching Hashirama and the Mizukage behind him in blinding whiteness. Steam and smoke split like cleaved fabric as the beam vaporized everything in its path.
Hmm!
Hashirama's right side abruptly sprouted a colossal tree. The woody explosion propelled him sideways while shielding Gengetsu.
The light pillar pierced through the timber like hot knife through butter. A perfectly circular hole appeared in Gengetsu's chest - no blood, only wisps of vaporized water rising from the cavity.
"Bandage Bastard!" Gengetsu's veins bulged grotesquely. His hands abandoned release seals as the clown doppelganger launched skyward toward Mu.
Schlick! The clone's arm morphed into gargantuan blade mid-flight. Though composed entirely of water and oil, its aerial agility rivaled Kage-level taijutsu specialists.
Within Mu's consciousness - a kaleidoscopic mental seascape - Kamihane's spirit sneered.
Though Hashirama's Darkness Genjutsu blinded physical vision, Kamihane perceived the battlefield through spiritual senses. He'd withdrawn from Gengetsu's mind moments before the Shodai's intervention, now puppeteering the Tsuchikage's psyche.
Palm pressed against Mu's mental projection under genjutsu hypnosis, Kamihane operated like VR gamer controlling avatars. Though clumsy compared to full possession, this method allowed forced technique activation through hypnotic commands.
A stark contrast to Hikaku's complete soul suppression. That method granted bodily fluency but locked host-specific jutsu.
"Evade." Kamihane whispered psychically.
The Tsuchikage effortlessly dodged the blade strike mid-air, hands reconstructing the annihilation cube.
Three ANBU materialized below, fingers forming concentric circles.
"Mind Body Switch Technique!"
Triple spiritual energies invaded Mu's mind. Kamihane's smirk widened as he pinpointed their physical locations.
Instantly withdrawing from Mu, his spirit arrowed through the trio's foreheads. The mind-invading chakra shattered as all three operatives collapsed, blood oozing from facial orifices.
Compared to Reika no Jutsu, Yamanaka techniques resembled children's playthings - mundane divination versus cosmic prophecy.
Mu blinked back to awareness, disoriented. He failed to notice the kunai arcing toward his position.
Fwip! Tobirama materialized behind him in Flying Thunder God strike, grappling the Tsuchikage into plummeting descent.
"Brother, restrain the Mizukage!"
Hashirama was already weaving wood restraints when lightning-cloaked Raikage elbow-smashed Tobirama's kidneys, sending the Nidaime crashing through rubble.
"Raikage!"
Kazekage Reto stared in astonishment as his guard Pakura unfurled a scroll. With an explosive puff, ten pale puppets levitated—their blades gleaming.
"White Secret Technique: Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu!" Reto turned urgently. "Pakura, this isn't your battl—"
His words died as the puppets wheeled toward bystanders, scattering poison needles indiscriminately.
"Possessed!" Reto lunged to intercept, only to meet Raikage's lightning-wreathed fist.
Elsewhere, Mu and Gengetsu's aerial duel escalated - particle beams clashed against superheated water cannons. Tobirama, misreading Raikage's autonomy, teleported into close-quarters combat...
Hashirama's wooden tendrils shattered puppets cautiously, power restrained to avoid collateral damage. Chaos reigned supreme.
...
Soaring above the smoke, Kamihane's spirit arrowed toward Uzumaki Temple.
"Old grudges die hard." He chuckled, withdrawing attention from Tobirama.
Originally intending to possess the First Kazekage, he'd abandoned the plan upon sensing Reto's formidable mental defenses. The existing pandemonium sufficed.
His spiritual senses detected Konoha's barrier - a kilometer-wide dome centered on Hokage Tower.
"Clever, Tobirama. But not unprepared."
Twenty-four hours prior, Kamihane's spirit and Nekomata Bōchi had infiltrated during Konoha's welcoming preparations.
Drunken Hikaku investigating a kitten's meow...
Finding Bōchi's shimmering blue feline form holding a crystalline vial...
Instant unconsciousness upon contact.
Hikaku's mind crumbled before Kamihane's tsunami-like psyche.
Now, phasing through temple walls unseen, Kamihane's spirit beelined toward his true objective -
A swaddled infant with wispy newborn hair.
"Tsunade."
His spirit possessed a maid. After testing the body's motor functions, Kamihane approached the cradle.
