Chapitre 212: Chapter 212
He looked at Kaito in disbelief, because he never imagined that a human could accomplish such a feat!
By now, he seemed to have figured out why Kaito's spatial ninjutsu caused such immense fluctuations.
This guy's spatial ninjutsu wasn't merely a teleportation technique; it was a terrifying forbidden jutsu that destroyed space, resulting in widespread devastation!
"There's no need to be so surprised. After all, from the very beginning, you never had a chance to defeat me."
Kaito said, applying more pressure as he held Tobirama's throat, his voice dripping with indifference.
"To be precise, I don't hold any particular grudge against the Second Hokage. After all, the Uchiha clan fared quite well during your reign.
However, you always remained wary of the Uchiha, and your disciples have perfectly inherited your mindset.
The troubles they've brought upon me are vast and have caused me deep disdain, a sentiment that, inevitably, is now associated with you."
At this, Kaito sighed slightly.
Deep down, he genuinely respected Tobirama, recognizing him as a powerful and capable leader with remarkable political foresight.
But the choice of his disciples, especially individuals like Danzō, truly disgusted Kaito to the core.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was commendable in his youth, turned out to be a disappointment as he aged.
Kaito was always one to hold grudges, and without hesitation, he associated his dissatisfaction with Sarutobi and others directly to Tobirama.
After all, even if Tobirama didn't express it, Kaito could sense that in Tobirama's eyes, he might be seen as a second Madara Uchiha.
While this might be an honor for Kaito, it also meant that Tobirama would never want to spare him. After all, Tobirama had always been wary of Madara Uchiha, forever on guard against the emergence of such figures from the Uchiha clan.
"That's enough talk."
Kaito slightly tilted his head, his gaze fixating on the distant location where Orochimaru stood.
"It's time for you to depart. Thinking of interfering in the world of the living, even in death, is truly laughable.
Moreover, I have some intriguing news for you. Your disciples haven't 'shortchanged' your clan."
While Kaito continued to grip Tobirama's throat, the latter had been struggling. However, upon hearing Kaito's words, Tobirama's resistance ceased.
Before this, that guy named Orochimaru had said something similar to him, but back then, he hadn't entirely believed Orochimaru's words.
However, now that even Uchiha Kaito was saying this, he couldn't help but start believing it.
Regrettably, Kaito continued to grip his throat tightly, making it impossible for him to speak.
It seemed as if Kaito was doing this on purpose—intentionally revealing such information, yet not allowing him a chance to speak or ask questions.
Indeed, this guy apparently wouldn't provide further explanations, seemingly wanting him to return to the Pure Land with lingering doubts and a thirst for knowledge.
As expected, with a slight force of his right hand, Kaito twisted and snapped Tobirama's neck.
Tobirama's head instantly hung to the side. However, at that very moment, the power of the Edo Tensei, the Reanimation Jutsu, began to manifest.
That eerie power continuously repaired his body, even restoring his broken neck.
One had to admit that the Edo Tensei was truly a forbidden jutsu among forbidden jutsus, capable of resurrecting the dead with infinite chakra and a relentless ability to heal.
Anyone would feel helpless and desperate facing it. And there were only two ways to counteract it: either have the caster release the jutsu or seal the reanimated body.
But all of this was of no concern to Kaito. He didn't need to worry about these things, and he was about to resolve the issue at hand.
"Goodbye. I hope we don't meet again next time."
As he spoke, Kaito once again activated his Void Walk, and his terrifying chakra erupted once more.
However, at that moment, Tobirama suddenly spoke, "Although I truly wish to defeat you, don't lose."
Kaito paused briefly and then nodded. The space, already damaged by the Void Walk, experienced another catastrophic blow.
Tobirama's figure was swiftly buried by the chaotic and uncontrolled spatial disruptions, and Kaito disappeared from the spot.
After what seemed like an eternity, the disrupted violet space gradually settled.
But Tobirama's figure was nowhere to be found.
"Has he failed? Uchiha Kaito's growth is indeed faster than anticipated."
From a distance, Orochimaru quietly observed everything that had transpired on the battlefield, involuntarily licking his lips.
Hashirama Senju's strength is impressive, yet the body used to resurrect him belongs to a mere commoner.
Although this individual held the title of an elite ninja, the effect, as of now, seems quite ordinary.
Even if Hashirama deployed the fearsome Deep Forest Emergence technique this time, combining it with the Wooden Dragon to launch an attack,
He seemed to have no effective means to counter the Susano'o. This doesn't align with Orochimaru's understanding of Hashirama.
Remember, Uchiha Madara also wielded such power, but in their heyday, Hashirama had soundly defeated Madara.
"According to records, when Hashirama faced Madara, he had the power to rival him."
Orochimaru subtly licked his lips. Though he wasn't sure about the exact nature of that power, he knew Hashirama had the means.
Unfortunately, the present Hashirama doesn't seem to display such strength.
Moreover, Tobirama's thorough defeat was unexpected for Orochimaru.
The current Tobirama possesses the Flying Thunder God technique, but even with that, he seems completely helpless against Uchiha Kaito.
This truly piqued Orochimaru's immense curiosity. He's well aware that the Uchiha clan can use spatial ninjutsu.
Yet to be countered to this extent is truly astonishing.
Especially since he clearly felt an incredible surge of chakra just now, along with an eerie power he could sense even without knowing any spatial techniques.
It was undeniably a spatial power. The vastness and scale of its eruption would even give Orochimaru chills.
At this moment, Orochimaru seemed to understand, just like Tobirama, why Kaito's spatial ninjutsu was accompanied by such intense chakra fluctuations.
Because this young man's spatial ninjutsu isn't just a simple transportation technique; it's a large-scale, destructive ninjutsu!
"A genius concept, a technique that instills a deep-seated fear."
Orochimaru subtly licked his lips again, his eyes blazing with fervor.
Being an obsessive researcher, and passionate about collecting and mastering all ninjutsu, there wasn't a single technique Kaito displayed that didn't captivate him.
The kind that allows flight, the kind that releases alternating black and white flames, and those ever-present chakra cloaks and spatial techniques.
Although Orochimaru can't be certain if these techniques fall under the category of dojutsu, he truly yearns for them immensely.
"However, now isn't the time. Even though I still have a trump card up my sleeve, it's time to conclude."
With that thought, Orochimaru silently directed his gaze towards a nearby forest.
He indeed had another card to play, and that card was Uchiha Madara! Compared to the bodies used by Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, which were of regular elite ninja,
The one Madara uses is far more potent, belonging to an elite ninja with superior physical prowess.
Speaking of superior physical quality, the only ones Orochimaru could think of were from the Hidden Cloud Village.
He was incredibly fortunate to capture one, and this individual has been prepared, ready to be summoned at any moment!
"Buzz!"
Just then, a sinister blade fiercely slashed towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's reaction was swift. He dodged the attack with a swift move, creating a significant distance between them and raising both hands.
"I surrender. I believe our battle should come to an end now."
Orochimaru's approach can't merely be described as decisive; he didn't hesitate for a second and chose to give up.
Moreover, he seemed confident that Kaito wouldn't make a move again. Of course, he also trusted his ability to survive even if Kaito were to strike.
"Lord Orochimaru, don't you think your surrender is a bit hasty?"
With intense chakra, Kaito appeared behind Orochimaru, his ninja blade resting against Orochimaru's neck.
"Why do you assume I would let you go?"
The cold blade's edge pressed against Orochimaru's throat, its chilling aura causing even Orochimaru significant discomfort.
Yet, Orochimaru remained incredibly composed, chuckling softly before speaking slowly.
"Leader Kaito, my worth alive is much more significant than if I were dead.
For instance, I can provide information about the Hidden Stone Village, which I believe you would find invaluable."
