Naruto: I Survived Two Wars Without You, System!

As the alarm in Sunagakure fell silent, 

the Suna leadership and countless Sunagakure ninja took up the posture of "Opening Gate." 

Kei Yamanaka and Hashirama Senju performed the Shout-to-Summon Seal simultaneously. 

On the towering walls surrounding Sunagakure, bridge after bridge of [Wood Release] jutsu extended from beneath their feet, stretching outward. 

Spanning several kilometers, these bridges reached straight to the front of the Kazekage Building. 

Kei Yamanaka, Kushina, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and others strode forward calmly across the wooden bridges. 

Madara Uchiha rode atop his Susanoo, swiftly approaching Hashirama's side. After letting out a cold snort, he dismissed his Susanoo and walked shoulder to shoulder with Hashirama along the wooden bridge. 

Meanwhile, Izuna Uchiha made his way directly toward the visibly furious Tobirama Senju. 

Just two days ago, after being revived via Impure World Reincarnation, he learned that his older brother had actually allied with the Senju—their sworn rivals—to build Konoha Hidden Village, and not a single Uchiha even held the title of Hokage. It felt like the sky had collapsed on him! 

But later, he heard that the entire Senju clan had been reduced to a single survivor while the Uchiha were now thriving more than ever. 

So what was there not to accept? 

Senju? Hmph— 

A pitiful clan that perished chasing after hollow fame! 

"Some people really are useless. They need to borrow the Three-Tails from their juniors just to save face." 

"You, someone who was stabbed to death, dares speak?" 

Tobirama sneered slightly, casting a cold glance at Izuna approaching him. 

[Angry Face] "My brother lent me the power of the Rinnegan, allowing my Susanoo to evolve directly into its Full Form. Some people can't even touch the edge of Wood Release." 

"You, someone who was stabbed to death, dares speak?" 

[Furious Expression] "Some people—even after becoming Hokage—are still failures. Taking rear guard for your subordinates and still managing to get yourself killed?" 

"You, someone who was stabbed to death, dares speak?" 

[Tantrum Gesture] "Tobirama! You only won once! Once I return, I'll make sure you learn your place!" 

Fuming, Izuna was practically vibrating with rage, though he dared not provoke his older brother at a time like this. 

He clenched his fists, suppressing the rising tide of fury within him. 

"You, someone who was..." 

"Can't you say anything besides that?!" 

"Your brother was beaten by mine. You were beaten by me. Your brother was beaten by my son-in-law—and so were you." 

Tobirama's lips curled upward slightly, his voice filled with mockery and disdain. 

"Pfft! Come on then! Stab me!" 

Izuna grabbed Tobirama's arm and shoved it toward his chest. 

"Now that I have an Impure World Reincarnation body that can't be stabbed to death, my words naturally carry weight. Oh right—I almost forgot. This very technique was my creation anyway." 

"Tobirama, I swear I'll kill you!" 

"Hmph~ Tch~" 

Tobirama looked down disdainfully at Izuna, who stood nearly ten centimeters shorter. 

Inwardly, he mused that when he got the chance, he should let Kushina unleash the Nine-Tails more often. 

Now *that* was a truly rewarding experience!

On a wooden bridge spanning an immense distance...

Hashirama Senju shaded his eyes with one hand, watching Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha bicker and play around with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Madara, look how well our younger brothers are getting along. They're even holding hands now."

"..."

Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan let him see every detail unfolding in the distance. After a long silence, he decided not to stoop to the level of an idiot.

That fool Izuna—can't he tell that arguing won't solve anything? Why not cut the chatter and fight already?

Use Perfect Susanoo and flatten that silver-haired brat from the Senju clan!

This is Sunagakure, not Konoha's territory. Who would really hold it against him for taking out a few Sunagakure ninja?

What an idiot!

As the group moved forward along the wooden bridge, countless Sunagakure ninja stood below—some gripping kunai and ninja blades, others summoning their puppets. Though fear flickered in their eyes and their legs trembled, they refused to back down.

"The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage; true human greatness lies in bravery."

Kei Yamanaka stood at the foot of the Kazekage Building.

Looking at the many determined Sunagakure shinobi who had already resolved themselves to die, she couldn't help but be moved by it.

No matter the time period, those who have the courage to step forward will always earn greater respect.

"Impure World Reincarnation..."

Chiyo observed the approaching figures, quickly identifying several familiar faces marked by cracks of dried earth. She immediately understood why they were here.

To borrow the power of the deceased...

Did Tobirama Senju develop Impure World Reincarnation precisely for this day?

Bringing forth ancient sages into this era, carrying on the legacy of The Third...

Chiyo's gaze turned complex as she looked at Tsunade, who now wore the Hokage hat, and everyone else standing behind her.

Kei Yamanaka, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kushina...

Even without Hashirama Senju and the others here, wouldn't such a lineup be more than enough to crush Sunagakure?

"Hokage-sama, everyone, please come in."

Chiyo didn't bother with much formality.

Fully aware of their intentions and what was coming, she simply turned and entered the Kazekage Building.

The strength displayed by Konoha was despair-inducing, yet within that despair, she keenly noticed something.

Actually, Konoha didn't want Suna to suffer heavy losses!

Otherwise, there would be no need to send so many powerful individuals here all at once.

This...

Could become Sunagakure's chance to negotiate for greater rights and benefits.

"Sharp old lady," Tsunade muttered, smirking slightly as she ignored the hostility radiating from the surroundings and strode straight into the Kazekage Building.

"You two—if you want to fight, go do it out in the desert somewhere."

Madara Uchiha looked at Izuna Uchiha and Tobirama Senju, whose arms were still entangled. Though both wore calm expressions outwardly, each secretly tried to gain the upper hand. Madara took a deep breath, suppressing his annoyance.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Have a good 'chat.' Me and Madara bonded better after we fought too."

Hashirama Senju waved them off cheerfully.

Kei Yamanaka gave them an almost imperceptible nod.

He truly admired brave people, but sometimes, people only understood once the blade touched their skin.

The edited translation based on the expert suggestions:

Today's show of force might have appeared impressive, but in the end, the Sunagakure ninja had never personally experienced the true power of these techniques. There were always a few stubborn ones who refused to acknowledge defeat.

Even Lady Chiyo was still harboring unrealistic hopes.

In that case...

His eyes fell on the wall where Tobirama Senju had stood before—a perfect spot to open a door.

As a master of shady tactics, Tobirama quickly grasped everyone's intent.

Without hesitation, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reappear atop the same wall, bringing Izuna Uchiha with him.

He hurled a kunai right into the same spot he had struck before.

"Senju Tobirama! Let me tell you—this is your end! I now possess the Perfect Susanoo! Take that!"

Whoosh~

Faced with Izuna's sudden activation of Perfect Susanoo,

Tobirama instantly leaped back and landed atop the Three-Tails Isobu's head. Drawing on the beast's chakra, he began forming hand seals in rapid succession.

[Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!]

A colossal wave erupted from midair, crashing down like a heavenly waterfall and sending Izuna's Perfect Susanoo stumbling back a considerable distance!

Chiyo spun around, her eyes widening at the roaring flood rushing from the village's edge, quickly swallowing entire rows of houses.

The Susanoo raised its blade in an upward slash, cleaving through the wall, leaving behind a deep gouge as it glared furiously at Tsunade and the others.

"Aren't you going to start negotiations soon?"

Tsunade adjusted her Hokage hat with one hand, a faint smile playing on her flushed cheeks, as if oblivious to the chaos around her.

She didn't even glance at the Sand ninja who had drawn their weapons, eager to start a fight.

Chiyo clenched her fists, her face burning with fury. Without another word, she whirled to face Ebizō and marched toward the meeting hall once more.

She understood all too well—this was a warning.
