Chapter 247: First! Second! (Seeking Subscriptions)
Land of Fire.
Less than thirty miles from the border of the Land of Rivers.
Orochimaru suddenly turned back, "They're really fast!"
Turning his head, he said, "Sasori, take the Jinchuriki and go first. I'm going to stay and hold off the pursuers."
"Kabuto, change your direction and head to the Land of Rain."
The first to obey were Kabuto and the Sound Four.
They immediately changed direction with Uchiha Sasuke in the tank, no longer heading towards the Land of Rivers but towards the Land of Rain.
Sasori of the Red Sand, who had already hidden himself within a puppet, looked back at Orochimaru and said, "Don't die too soon!"
Orochimaru had already stopped, smiling, "You can completely rest assured about that."
"However, with the Jinchuriki in your hands, your danger is even greater."
"If Sarutobi Asuma personally makes a move, you might not be able to rendezvous with your backup!"
Sasori of the Red Sand let out a cold snort, "You can rest assured about that!"
With that, he increased his speed.
His body was quite honest.
Orochimaru smiled and then stood in place, waiting quietly.
A moment later, figures appeared within his sight.
"I really didn't expect this!"
Seeing the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, in full battle armor, Orochimaru's gaze was a little complex, but it was immediately filled with smiles. He stuck out his tongue, full of anticipation, "I heard the old man has also mastered a Kekkei Genkai. I'm quite looking forward to it!"
...
Hokage's Office.
Sarutobi Asuma used the Mirror Flower Water Moon Technique, projecting a scene onto the water screen.
Looking at the coffins rising one by one in front of Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato's gaze sharpened, "It really is this jutsu!"
Uzumaki Kushina also recognized it, "Impure World Reincarnation!"
"This Orochimaru guy is really..."
Nara Shikaku's expression was solemn. Looking at the writing on the coffins, he swallowed hard, "He wouldn't have summoned the First Hokage and the Second Hokage using this jutsu, would he?"
Namikaze Minato frowned, "I'm afraid so!"
He turned to Sarutobi Asuma and said, "The Second Hokage was the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Besides you, I'm probably the only one who can deal with him. Although Kakashi has also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he's still quite far behind."
"I'll leave this to you, I'm going to the battlefield."
Sarutobi Asuma stopped him, "Let's wait a bit longer."
"We don't know how much of the First and Second Hokage's strength can be unleashed."
...
In the forest.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the lined-up coffins, his face showing pain, "Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to go this far."
Orochimaru chuckled upon hearing this, "Don't be so sentimental."
"This jutsu wasn't created by me, but by your beloved teacher, the Second."
"Besides, I'm giving you a chance to see the First and Second again. This is very rare."
Uchiha Fugaku and the others listened to the conversation between master and disciple, their faces changing.
"Third Hokage, what's going on?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked.
He had a bad feeling.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Orochimaru used a forbidden jutsu to summon the First Hokage and the Second Hokage."
"Be very careful from now on!"
Everyone was shocked.
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes directly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, staring at the coffins. His pupils constricted slightly.
At this moment, the lids of the coffins fell off.
Figures walked out one by one.
"It... it really is the First Hokage, the Second Hokage!"
"And, they are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"
Several Konoha Jonin were extremely shocked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, "Orochimaru, the First and Second Hokage are mine and Fugaku's and Yashiro's responsibility! You handle luring the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist away."
"Understood!"
Uchiha Fugaku and the others responded with shouts of agreement.
At this moment, Orochimaru leaped backward, landing on a tree.
Among the nine individuals reanimated by the Impure World Reincarnation, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist regained their senses.
"It's that damn Orochimaru again!"
Suikazan Fuguki cursed.
"But I didn't expect to be facing Konoha's Third Hokage this time. Tsk, master and student fighting each other, what a touching scene!" Jinpachi Munashi said mockingly.
"And the Uchihas are here too!"
Jinin Akebino sneered, "Seeing them makes me want to hold a grand funeral."
"Speaking of which, we're immortal right now, aren't we?"
Orochimaru, who was behind them, chuckled lightly, "Of course. You can unleash your full potential now."
"Although Sarutobi Asuma isn't here, if you can take them down, you'll have your revenge!"
Kushimaru Kuriarare said, "While being controlled by you is incredibly annoying, getting revenge makes it worthwhile."
"Then, let's start with this old man!"
He lunged forward, heading straight for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Your opponents are us!"
The five individuals behind Sarutobi Hiruzen leaped out, blocking all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
This time, Orochimaru had used White Zetsu as a sacrifice, allowing these individuals to nearly fully display their pre-death strength.
Even without their favored swords, these seven were all Jonin-level shinobi.
Furthermore, with their immortality, these seven fought with even greater ferocity, causing the five Konoha Jonin to fall into a disadvantage.
At this moment, Uchiha Yashiro had also activated his Mangekyo, staring at the seven, releasing Genjutsu during their eye contact.
Orochimaru looked at the Mangekyo Sharingan of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yashiro with burning eyes, and said with a smile, "While the Sharingan's Genjutsu is very powerful, it won't work on them!"
Uchiha Yashiro snorted, "Then we'll deal with you first!"
Orochimaru lowered his gaze and chuckled, "Don't talk big!"
Before his voice even faded, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, stepped out of his coffin, forming hand seals.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils constricted, "Be careful, that's the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"
As his words fell, Senju Tobirama's technique was complete.
The next moment, the vision of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Yashiro was completely stripped away, plunging them into a world of darkness.
Without any hesitation.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yashiro simultaneously activated their Susanoo, protecting themselves and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The next moment, they felt a tremendous impact.
It was Water Style!
On Susanoo's shoulder, Sarutobi Hiruzen rapidly formed hand seals, "Release!"
Light returned.
The forest had transformed into a waterlogged land.
Sarutobi Hiruzen scanned his surroundings, discovering that Senju Tobirama had disappeared, with only Senju Hashirama within his line of sight.
In addition, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Konoha's five shinobi had also been swept away by the Water Style, and the battlefield had shifted.
"Behind you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, his figure vanishing from Susanoo's shoulder.
The next moment, a stream of water erupted from the water beneath him, which he narrowly dodged.
However, the massive Susanoo couldn't evade it.
High-pressure water bullets continuously struck Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo, emitting cracking sounds.
This caused Uchiha Fugaku's expression to change.
Although his Susanoo wasn't equipped with the Tengu armor at the moment, it was in its complete humanoid form, not just a skeleton, and its defense was already extremely powerful. Yet, it was on the verge of being broken.
Simultaneously, as Sarutobi Hiruzen landed on the water's surface, two streams of water, like ropes, wrapped around him and pulled him underwater.
"Third Hokage!"
Uchiha Fugaku exclaimed in alarm, then shouted, "Yashiro, go deal with Orochimaru!"
As he spoke, his Susanoo turned, and he raised his fist to deliver a blow.
BOOM!
The water's surface erupted, sending waves crashing and instantly obliterating the Shadow Clone of Senju Tobirama, which had been hiding beneath it.
Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo bent its knees and then, with a mighty roar, shot up from the ground. "Orochimaru, die!"
Seeing the colossal Susanoo soar into the sky, Orochimaru's excitement was palpable. "So this is the power of the Mangekyo!"
"I'll take these eyes!"
"Now, let's see the power of the Ninja God!"
