All Hokage in The Chat Group

"Kamui!" Kakashi shouted, activating his signature Mangekyō Sharingan ability.

In an instant, space near Hidan distorted violently.

Just a split second. A spiraling vortex of space appeared, swallowing Hidan's body whole.

Immediately, only his severed head fell to the ground with a dull thud.

"What?! Where is my body" Hidan screamed, his disembodied head twisting in frustration.

Despite his immortality, Hidan's predicament was dire. His entire body had been erased by Kamui, leaving him a helpless, severed head. Though he couldn't die, he was rendered completely useless.

The battlefield fell silent as everyone stared in stunned disbelief. For the Konoha shinobi, the scene was almost incomprehensible.

"We fought him for so long..."

"Nearly got killed by him! And then Hokage-sama shows up and takes him out in an instant!"

"The difference in power is just... staggering!"

The awestruck whispers of the Leaf shinobi underscored the vast gap between their abilities and Kakashi's.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu's expression darkened. "Hidan, you useless idiot!" he growled, glaring at his partner's still-screaming head.

"I told you not to mess around! But no, you had to mess around. And now? Look at this mess—it just got a whole lot more troublesome!"

Frustrated, Kakuzu shrugged off his Akatsuki robe, revealing his true form.

Five masks adorned his body, each representing a heart. Five hearts, five types of nature chakra.

This was Kakuzu's forbidden ninjutsu power—capable of unleashing multiple elements simultaneously, making him an exceptionally dangerous opponent.

With five lives at his disposal, defeating him was no small task. For Kakuzu, death was nearly impossible.

At this moment, Kakashi gave Kakuzu no time to recover. Without hesitation, he activated Kamui Susanoo.

"Kamui Shuriken!"

Massive, space-warping shurikens spun into existence, hurled with precision. The technique unleashed a large-scale spatial distortion, grinding everything in its path into oblivion.

Kakuzu was overwhelmed. The ninjutsu he managed to release vanished instantly, swallowed by the dimensional rift. Four of his five hearts were destroyed in a flash. The final heart barely clung to life, leaving Kakuzu critically injured and coughing up blood as he collapsed to the ground.

Kakashi dispelled Susanoo, exhaling lightly. "It's almost wasteful to use such a move on enemies like these," he remarked, his tone calm yet tinged with disappointment. "I overestimated them."

Kakashi assessed the situation. With full knowledge of their abilities and pre-planned countermeasures, his current strength made the fight almost trivial. Using Susanoo had simply been a way to expedite the battle.

On the battlefield, Hidan's severed head remained helpless, screaming in vain. Kakuzu, too, was incapacitated, his body utterly spent.

Without further delay, Kakashi restrained both with ninja tools, rendering them incapable of further resistance.

"Secure them!" Kakashi ordered. "From now on, these two will serve as captives. Hand them over to the Medical department—Tsunade-san can extract any valuable information and secret of their immortality we can use." His voice was steady, completely unfazed.

The Konoha shinobi watched in awe, their faces filled with shock and admiration.

"It was like an instant kill," Yuki whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief. Her hand was still gripping the hilt of her sword, but it felt heavy in her grasp as if the weight of their Hokage's power had left her stunned.

"The enemies didn't even have a chance to fight back... The gap is just too massive," Akira remarked, shaking his head in amazement.

Taro looked toward the sky, his chest swelling with pride. "We're lucky to have someone like him leading us."

Yuki nodded, still processing what she had seen. "I've never seen anything like it... the way he wiped them out without even breaking a sweat. It's as if he's on a whole other level."

Akira, usually the most reserved of the group, clenched his fists in determination. "If we train hard enough, maybe one day we'll be able to stand beside him in battle."

The sheer dominance Kakashi displayed left no doubt in their minds—his strength as Hokage was unparalleled.

At the same time, within the Akatsuki organization, an urgent meeting was called.

Pain's voice broke the silence. "Hidan and Kakuzu's signals have vanished. What do we do about their retrieval?"

The statement sent shockwaves through the group.

"How is that possible?!" Deidara exclaimed, visibly startled.

"The undead duo's strength is far beyond ordinary shinobi!" After a brief pause, Pain replied, his tone heavy with suspicion.

"Their disappearance occurred near Konoha. Could they have fallen into a trap?" The group fell silent, each member processing the implications.

"Konoha..." murmured Deidara.

"Who could have been capable of taking them down?" Konan's question lingered in the air.

In the World of the Second Hokage

Meanwhile, in a parallel dimension, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju was immersed in his laboratory, entirely absorbed in his research. Among all the Hokage, Tobirama was renowned for his passion for scientific innovation and technological advancement. His unparalleled talent in these areas made him unique.

Unlike the other Hokage, whose primary duties revolved around village administration and maintaining peak combat readiness, Tobirama had an additional self-imposed responsibility: research and development. His work went far beyond the scope of traditional ninja roles.

Despite his packed schedule, Tobirama took no issue with his workload. On the contrary, he relished it. Research was his passion, and he thrived on the challenges it presented.

At that moment, Tobirama was focused on an ambitious project: integrating technologies from the Shinigami world with those from the One Punch Man universe. The complexity of this endeavor was staggering, as it required harmonizing systems and principles from two entirely different realms.

Yet, this only fueled his enthusiasm. Hours passed tirelessly until a sudden hiccup in his experiments made Tobirama frown.

"Damn it," he muttered, irritation flickering across his usually composed features.

Even for someone as brilliant as Tobirama, merging such disparate technologies presented unforeseen obstacles. Still, his determination remained unshaken as he returned to his work with renewed focus.

"Another tailed beast is missing?" Tobirama's frown deepened as he processed the troubling news.

"It seems your investigation ends here," he said firmly, his tone brooking no argument. "The enemy's strength surpasses what you can handle."

Rising decisively from his seat, Tobirama declared, "I'll handle this myself!"

Without delay, he began preparing to act. The urgency of the situation left no room for hesitation.

Meanwhile, in a hidden underground space, Uchiha Madara was meticulously planning his next move.

"Madara-sama, do you really intend to summon the Ten-Tails now? Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Black Zetsu questioned, his tone laced with caution.

To Black Zetsu, a more prudent approach would involve collecting all the remaining fragments of the tailed beasts before attempting to use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Such a method seemed far safer.

However, the current situation is far from ideal. They only had three complete-tailed beasts in their possession—a glaring shortfall in the grand plan.

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's concerns, Madara's expression darkened with irritation.

"There's no time to waste!" he snapped.

"That bastard Tobirama is no fool. The moment we captured the first-tailed beast, he realized we were on the move. The shinobi he has been sending has only grown stronger with each encounter."

He paused briefly before continuing, his voice edged with urgency.

"Capturing these three was already pushing the limit. Any further attempts will undoubtedly result in a confrontation with Tobirama."

Madara's crimson Sharingan glinted ominously as he concluded, "With their forces, combined with the power of the remaining tailed beasts, such a clash would be troublesome... even for me."

Despite his words, there was no trace of fear in Madara's demeanor. His confidence remained unshaken, rooted in his belief in his overwhelming power.

Madara remained steadfast, his confidence in his strength unshaken. However, he acknowledged the growing complications.

"The more time we waste, the more time that black-hearted bastard Tobirama will have to plan," he muttered, his tone laced with irritation.

With just the two of them—himself and Black Zetsu—their lack of manpower was a glaring disadvantage. This insufficiency only made their task increasingly troublesome.

Despite these challenges, Madara pressed on, resolute in his goal.

Madara had spent considerable effort gathering fragments of chakra from the tailed beasts. Though the collection was incomplete, the gathered chakra was enough to fulfill his purpose: summoning the Ten-Tails.

His confidence never wavered, even with the limitations of their resources.

Black Zetsu, standing by his side, feigned concern. On the surface, he seemed to be advising caution, but within, he brimmed with anticipation.

"Perfect," Black Zetsu thought to himself. "This will bring Mother's resurrection even closer. Mother... wait for me!"

Madara finished transferring all the collected chakra into the Gedo Statue's massive form.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled violently as the colossal body of the Gedo Statue erupted into view, towering ominously above the earth.

"It begins," Madara said with quiet determination, his eyes fixed on the immense figure.
