章節 41: Chapter 41 : Battle on the Roof!!
Standing behind the Reanimated first and second Hokages, Orochimaru looked both confused and excited.
What puzzled him was that he had used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the Second Hokage, which meant that the figure before him was a fake.
However, based on some of the impostor's words and the actions of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru judged that this person might not be an impostor but the real Second Hokage.
This conflicting situation thrilled Orochimaru, and he was eager to find out the truth.
So, when the Reanimated First and Second Hokage lost consciousness, he immediately took control of the two and ordered them to attack.
In his view, it was three against two, which gave him the advantage. Even if the opponent was indeed the real Second Hokage, he believed he was not at a disadvantage.
This predicament was the result of the Third Hokage's own actions. After all, it was the Third Hokage who boasted about being the strongest Hokage to maintain his rule after the death of the Second Hokage.
Clearly, Orochimaru was the "victim" of the Third Hokage's arrogance.
"Sarutobi, go deal with Orochimaru."
"Teacher, you—"
"Don't tell me you're too old to handle your own students."
"Then, teacher, be careful."
Facing the attack of the Reanimated First and Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju was completely unperturbed. He even had the luxury to instruct the Third Hokage to handle Orochimaru.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet."
Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's command, the Third Hokage deftly evaded the attacks of the two Impure World Masters and unleashed a powerful Fire Release against Orochimaru.
At that moment, Orochimaru had just expended a significant amount of chakra and was in the process of recovering.
Rather than using ninjutsu to counter the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, he evaded it with serpent-like agility.
Realizing that long-range attacks were ineffective and draining his chakra, the Third Hokage decided to summon the Monkey King Enma by forming the necessary seals with his hands.
"Sarutobi, what's the situation?"
The summoned Enma surveyed the battlefield with a cautious gaze.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked around, but as soon as he did, he was immediately alarmed.
The two Second Hokage were engaged in a fierce battle using Water Style, while the First Hokage was assisting one of them.
It was such a fantastical scene that it would be hard to believe unless witnessed firsthand.
"Did Orochimaru cause this mess? I warned you not to let him get away, and now we're in trouble."
Ignoring Enma's grumbling, the Third Hokage said firmly, "Old friend, transform into Adamantine Staff."
"Okay!"
Enma, the Monkey King, was highly obedient to the Third Hokage. If instructed to transform, he complied without hesitation.
As the Third Hokage brandished a large stick, Orochimaru wasted no time in spitting out a formidable sword.
"Orochimaru, come here and face your end."
"Haha, we'll see who meets their end."
With that, the two began to clash, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings.
Indeed, a teacher's experience shines through.
Without the interference of theReanimated Duo in the original scenario, the Third Hokage used the Adamantine Staff's versatility to severely suppress Orochimaru.
From time to time, he would strike the opponent with a stick.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru could still withstand this level of attack.
Instead, after a series of clashing sounds, Enma was the first to show signs of exhaustion.
"Sarutobi, be cautious. Don't always force me to confront that Kusanagi sword. My body isn't as resilient as that sword."
"Okay, I'll be more careful."
That said, Orochimaru was not merely someone who consumed food and worked.
When suppressed by the Third Hokage, he exploited the Kusanagi sword's sharpness to make the Adamantine Staff, the transformed Monkey King, wail.
He knew that resolving the issue with the Adamantine Staff was crucial to gaining the upper hand in this fight and even potentially defeating the Third Hokage.
Meanwhile, the physical confrontation between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru was highly intense.
Elsewhere, the battle between Senju Tobirama and the Reanimated First and Second Hokage was equally thrilling.
Yes, it was a lively scene.
The Senju clan possessed far more chakra than ordinary people.
Among them, the one with the most chakra was undoubtedly Hashirama Senju.
However, as Hashirama's younger brother, Tobirama also had an immense amount of chakra.
Therefore, his Water Release techniques could be executed even in the absence of water, showcasing their extraordinary power.
Though the strength of the first and second Hokages resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation was significantly diminished, they had one major advantage: infinite chakra.
On one hand, their chakra reserves were vast.
On the other hand, their chakra was limitless.
Thus, when the two sides engaged, ninjutsu were unleashed recklessly, as if they were unlimited.
When the Reanimated Hashirama used Wood Release: Deep Forest Blossom to summon numerous trees, Senju Tobirama immediately countered with Water Release: Water Severing Wave.
When the "high-pressure water jet" collided with the rapidly growing trees, the outcome was inevitable.
Clearly, the weakened version of Deep Forest Blossom could not withstand the "High-Pressure Water Jet."
"Water Style: Water Break Wave"
Seeing that Senju Tobirama's water jutsu suppressed his wood jutsu, Reanimated Tobirama became unhappy.
Even though he had lost his own consciousness, when he saw others using water-style ninjutsu, he subconsciously used the same ninjutsu.
I don't have any other intention, I just want to compare and see whose water-style ninjutsu is more powerful.
"Humph, you overestimate your own abilities."
Senju Tobirama snorted coldly.
He then stopped using the Water Breaking Wave and instead used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived not far behind the Reanimated Second Hokage using the coordinates he had set during the battle.
"Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade"
Suddenly, a water javelin made of concentrated water-attribute chakra quickly formed in Tobirama's right hand and was thrown directly at the Reanimated Second Hokage.
"You unconscious idiot, didn't you consider that I would use Flying Thunder God?"
"That's right. If you have no consciousness, you naturally won't be able to think."
Amid the complaints of Senju Tobirama, the Reanimated Second Hokage did not have time to dodge and was successfully hit by the water javelin, with his entire upper body blown into pieces.
If a normal person got shot like this, even the Six Paths Sage wouldn't be able to save him.
However, the one that was hit was a Reanimated Body.
As the Reanimated Hashirama came to entangle Senju Tobirama, the Reanimated Tobirama was also slowly recovering.
This is the characteristic brought about by the Impure World Reincarnation. Unless there is a sealing team to cooperate with him, even Tobirama Senju, the creator of this technique, will not be able to stop it.
If you can't stop it, then you can't stop it.
Anyway, the Reanimated First and Second Hokage pose no threat to Tobirama Senju.
Judging from the amount of chakra he had, he could play with the other person for a whole day.
And with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can take the Third Hokage away from the scene at any time.
The reason he didn't act was because he wanted to leave the decision of this battle to the Third Hokage.
An old disciple is still a disciple.
Through the light curtain, Senju Tobirama knew that his elderly disciple was still brooding over the fact that he had allowed Orochimaru to escape.
As long as the Third Hokage can deal with Orochimaru here, he will not only feel relieved but also end the war and become Konoha's hero once again.
Afterward, Tobirama would have him abdicate gloriously and live out his days in peace.
It's time for the village in this space and time to welcome the next Hokage.
