A man with long black hair wore a headband bearing the insignia of Konoha Village, and his deep red armor gleamed with a dull luster from the passage of time.
At this moment, his eyes were closed and his expression was blank, like a statue awakening from a deep sleep.
The other person had short, silver-white hair that stood on end, and two strange, dark blue markings across his cold face. He wore dark blue armor and a white fur collar around his shoulders.
His eyes were equally lifeless as he stared straight ahead, his thin lips pressed tightly together, exuding an aura of intimidation that kept strangers at bay.
Although their appearances were slightly more ashen and stiff than when they were alive, all the Konoha ninjas outside the rooftop recognized the two of them at a glance.
That is clearly—
The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!
And the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!
Outside the Purple Flame Barrier, everyone witnessed the two tall figures emerging from the coffins, and they were all dumbfounded, as if time had frozen at that moment.
"The First... the Second Hokage?! This... this can't be right?!" Might Guy felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, almost unable to believe his eyes.
"Grandpa...and Second Grandpa?!" Tsunade's pretty face turned pale, and she froze on the spot.
She had been thoroughly enjoying the intense battle between Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and even had a nostalgic smile on her lips.
In all these years, she hadn't seen those two guys really fight.
However, to Tsunade's utter surprise, Orochimaru suddenly used the forbidden and evil technique "Impure World Reincarnation," summoning her relatives who had been dead for many years!
"How...how could this be?!" Shizune covered her mouth, staring incredulously at the First and Second Hokage within the barrier.
Tsunade's body began to tremble, her knuckles cracking as she clenched her fists: "That disgusting Orochimaru, how dare he!!!"
However, Kakashi, focused on the situation within the barrier, had no time to spare for anything else.
He stared at the two Hokage summoned by Orochimaru, his brows furrowed: "This move is here. We can't let Jiraiya-sama face the enemy alone!"
Without further hesitation, he flashed and headed straight for the blazing Four Purple Flame Array.
"Kakashi-senpai, danger!" An ANBU member rushed to his side, urgently saying, "This barrier is untouchable; no ninjutsu attack will work!"
Kakashi smiled slightly, raised his hand and removed the headband covering his left eye, revealing a scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan that spun rapidly: "Who said I was going to use ordinary ninjutsu?"
In his pupils, the three tomoe instantly connected to form a strange windmill pattern!
Kakashi's gaze locked onto a Sound Ninja in the northeast corner of the barrier, who was intently maintaining the jutsu.
That person was none other than Sakon, one of the Sound Four!
"Kamui!" Kakashi suddenly shouted.
hum! ! !
Before Zuo Jin could react to what was happening, he was horrified to find that his right arm was suddenly being pulled tightly by an invisible, enormous force!
The next second, he watched in disbelief as his entire right arm twisted strangely from his shoulder, as if it had been caught in the center of a vortex and vanished into thin air!
"Ah—!!!" The intense pain finally arrived belatedly.
Zuo Jin screamed, clutching his severed arm as he staggered to the ground, blood gushing out.
With their formation disrupted, the three Sound Ninja in the other corners were caught off guard, their figures swaying as the barrier chakra immediately lost its balance.
sizzle-
With a deafening explosion, the once blazing purple fire wall of the Four Purple Flame Array shattered, turning into countless sparks that scattered into the air.
The cage-like barrier has been dismantled!
"The barrier... has been lifted?!" Kai was overjoyed, and the ANBU members were also invigorated.
The Konoha ninja outside the barrier immediately drew their weapons, ready to support the battle.
Inside the barrier, Orochimaru watched in shock as the Four Purple Flame Formation crumbled.
He turned sharply to look in the direction of Zuo Jin, his gaze falling on the severed arm, his face instantly turning ashen.
However, he had no more time to think about it—
The moment the barrier extinguished, a fierce shout filled with boundless rage swept in with the force of wind and thunder: "Orochimaru—! You disgusting bastard! How dare you do such a thing!"
Chapter 158: Becoming Hokage Opened My Eyes
Orochimaru was facing Jiraiya with a gloomy face when he suddenly caught a glimpse of an incredibly swift figure rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Before she could even get a good look, Tsunade had already unleashed a punch with the force of thunder!
The air was torn apart by the punch, producing a piercing sonic boom—
"Bang!!"
Before the fist even reached the body, the fierce wind from the punch already assaulted the body like a hurricane.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank suddenly. He had no time to dodge and could only instinctively cross his arms in front of him to block.
However, all of this was in vain.
With a crisp "crack," Tsunade's iron fist slammed directly into his arm bone, unleashing a terrifying force like a torrent.
Orochimaru grunted and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string!
He felt his arms go numb instantly, and his body arced through the air before crashing heavily toward the edge of the roof.
"Uh-huh!"
A strong wind howled, and fragments of Orochimaru's Kazekage robe scattered in the air.
He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and barely suppressed the surging blood in his mouth. Just as he was about to fall off the roof, the four Sound Ninja simultaneously rushed up to him.
They frantically caught Orochimaru's heavy body in mid-air, and the four of them worked together to stabilize his momentum.
Even so, Orochimaru still staggered back several steps when he landed, almost falling over.
Tsunade landed a successful blow, slowly withdrawing her fist, her face filled with barely suppressed rage.
She stared coldly at the disheveled Orochimaru opposite her, her eyes blazing with murderous intent, wishing she could deliver another punch.
That punch she just delivered contained her monstrous strength, enough to shatter rocks and split monuments. At this moment, the roof tiles were scattered and shattered by the impact, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared amidst the billowing dust.
After Orochimaru stood still, he endured the excruciating pain and looked down. He saw that his arms were twisted and bent at a strange angle, and the bones were obviously broken!
His arms hung limply at his sides, trembling slightly uncontrollably.
His eyes darkened, a look of surprise and anger flashing in his golden vertical pupils. He thought to himself, "Damn it... I forgot about this move!"
On the rooftop, Orochimaru's face was ashen, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his broken bones, his cold gaze fixed on the furious Tsunade not far away.
But more than anger, a sense of foreboding arose deep within him.
With his arms crippled and his strength greatly diminished, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him.
The two coffins that had been standing quietly on the sidelines, summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation, had been opened at some point.
Two tall figures slowly emerged—it was none other than Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who had just been summoned by Orochimaru!
As their souls returned to their places, the two people's eyes gradually cleared from a state of confusion.
Hashirama Senju was the first to fully awaken. The moment he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Tsunade, who was not far away. "Little Tsunade? She's grown so much already?"
Upon hearing Hashirama's voice, Tsunade's originally cold and angry expression faltered slightly.
At the same time, Tobirama Senju on the other side looked down at his hands and body covered in gray-black dust, frowned, and muttered to himself, "This is... Impure World Reincarnation?!"
As the developer of this forbidden technique, he immediately understood his own situation.
Looking around at the battle situation, Tobirama's eyes sharpened.
"Tsunade!" Tobirama's gaze locked onto his niece-like junior, his voice low and authoritative, "Tell me, who did this?!"
"Grandpa Tobirama".
Tsunade turned around, her angry finger pointing straight at Orochimaru, "It was him! That bastard dared to fool the dead!"
Orochimaru was barely able to stand with the help of Kidomaru and Sakon, his ashen face growing increasingly gloomy and ugly.
His gaze swept over Hashirama and Tobirama before quickly shifting away, inwardly cursing.
He thought the Impure World Reincarnation was his trump card, but Tsunade acted too quickly, completely disrupting his rhythm—he didn't even have time to implant the talisman into the back of Hashirama and Tobirama's heads to control them!
Now, although he has summoned the two Hokage from previous generations, they retain their own consciousness and are not entirely under his control.
"hateful!"
He improved and enhanced the Impure World Reincarnation technique, making it much more powerful, but implanting a talisman is still a necessary final step to completely control the actions of the summoned person.
Orochimaru's expression was very unpleasant.
But this is not the worst-case scenario.
Just as the game reached a stalemate, a whooshing sound suddenly rose from the distance—
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
Dozens of dark figures rushed in from different directions, quickly landing around the roof and surrounding the ravaged roof.
The newcomers moved in perfect unison, dressed in uniform ANBU gear and wearing masks, clearly elite ninjas from Root and ANBU!
The two leaders landed in the center of the battle, one on the left and one on the right.
On the left is an old man in a white robe with a full head of white hair, none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha; on the right is Danzo, leaning on his cane with his one eye wrapped in bandages.
The moment Sarutobi and Danzo appeared, their eyes swept over the scene before them, and they both trembled, their faces showing disbelief.
Their gazes were fixed on Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, and they were momentarily stunned.
Although they had previously heard from Kakashi and Jiraiya that Orochimaru had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Hearing about it is no substitute for seeing it in person. The shock and excitement of witnessing the two previous Hokage return to the world is beyond what ordinary people can imagine!
"Tobirama-sensei!" Danzo's voice trembled slightly as he looked at his teacher, whom he hadn't seen in so long.
Hearing the sound, Tobirama Senju turned his head, looked closely, and then suddenly realized, "It's the monkey and Danzo."
He nodded slightly and said calmly, "What's going on? What happened to cause such a big commotion?"
Upon hearing Tobirama address him by his nickname "Monkey," Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and quickly stepped forward: "Tobirama-sensei, Hashirama-sama...!"
