The Risks of Impure World Reincarnation! (Second Update!)

"Impure World Reincarnation."

When Sakura Haruno saw the coffin standing in front of Orochimaru, she immediately realized the Ninjutsu he was about to use.

She uttered those four words calmly, but her inner turmoil was far from the serene and composed demeanor she appeared to be.

Sakura, of course, knew the power of this technique.

In fact, she had been collecting information about this technique, intending to apply to learn this forbidden art soon.

However, unlike Orochimaru and the Second Hokage, she learned this technique to summon the dead not to have them help her in battle, but to gain their knowledge and wisdom!

The saying goes, Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Using this technique solely for combat is a waste; instead of using it to temporarily increase combat power, it's better to use it to acquire knowledge and guidance, thereby permanently increasing one's own strength!

In particular, using it to learn lost Ninjutsu saves a lot of time and effort in collecting information and slowly reconstructing the Ninjutsu.

Sakura Haruno believes that this is the greatest value of this technique.

However, given Orochimaru's status, he can probably only forcibly manipulate reincarnated dead people into battle. As for gaining the knowledge of the dead? Sakura Haruno doesn't think the two Hokage or other unrelated dead people he summoned before would kindly help or guide this traitor of Konoha.

People like Sakura, who are from Konoha with impeccable roots, might still have a chance to gain the approval of those Konoha Ninja who died; Orochimaru, on the other hand, is a prime example of someone who has been betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

Therefore, the dead he summons must have their self-awareness extinguished before they can be manipulated by him in battle!

"Who has been summoned this time?" Sakura Haruno wondered, gazing at the slightly ajar coffin.

Chunin Ninja Exams, because the Third didn't use the Reaper Death Seal together with Orochimaru, the souls of the two former Hokage summoned by Orochimaru weren't sealed inside his stomach by the Bleach and could still be summoned; this was the butterfly effect caused by Sakura's time travel.

Orochimaru has done the most research on the First and Second Hokage, so if nothing unexpected happens, he will summon one of them; of course, other powerful figures are also possible. Orochimaru didn't Zabuza spare Zabuza, and if he's going to come and collect his corpse and tissues, he probably has records of other powerful figures as well.

In terms of sheer power, the First was clearly much stronger than the Second Hokage. However, according to Tsunade, the two Hokage summoned by Orochimaru using Edo Impure World Reincarnation were far from their peak strength; regardless of which one was summoned, their displayed power wouldn't differ by much...

So, it must be him...

Sakura Haruno took a deep breath and watched as the coffin lid, manipulated by Orochimaru, slowly opened, revealing the figure inside.

Orochimaru, his hand resting on the coffin, was slightly out of breath. After using this forbidden technique, the Chakra he felt had diminished considerably.

Several large and super-large Ninjutsu were unleashed in succession, and even a ninja like Orochimaru needed a moment to catch his breath.

However, his momentum did not wane in the slightest!

"Hehehe..." he chuckled softly, "Which one is more powerful, the former Water Release master of Konoha or the new generation of Water Release prodigy?"

The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, emerged from the coffin.

"Impure World Reincarnation... Is it you again, Orochimaru?" The Second Hokage turned to look at Orochimaru and said coldly.

"Sarutobi really taught a good disciple! Is Hiruzen Sarutobi dead?"

"The Third Hokage didn't die; he's retired." Orochimaru didn't answer; instead, Sakura Haruno replied from afar.

The Second Hokage turned his head and looked over, his gaze sweeping across the girl's young face and landing on the Konoha Forehead Protector tied around her neck.

"They're Konoha ninjas..." the Second Hokage sighed. "The Ninjutsu I developed was originally intended to protect Konoha, but I never imagined it would be used repeatedly against Konoha Ninja!"

The only consolation is that the Konoha Ninja on the other side, though young, possesses astonishing strength; even I myself am not that strong at this age! This at least shows that Konoha has successors...

"So, who are you, young Konoha Ninja?" Tobirama Senju asked, his gaze lingering on the mysterious purple mark on Sakura's forehead.

That familiar Ninjutsu ... He sensed its presence keenly; it was the Yin Seal, wasn't it? If so, then this pink-haired girl must be her disciple?

"I am Sakura Haruno, Lady Tsunade's disciple." Sakura keenly noticed his gaze and explained, "Master Tsunade has already taken over as the Fifth Hokage."

As expected. However...

Tsunade became Hokage? The Second Hokage was somewhat taken aback: Sarutobi, are you sure it's okay to choose Tsunade as the new Hokage?

His worries about Konoha, which he had just put aside, immediately rose again; in any case, had Tsunade gambled away the entire village?

Just as Tobirama Senju was about to continue, Orochimaru interrupted him.

"She's the strongest of Konoha's new generation, and a ninja who uses Water Release..." Orochimaru interjected, then added sarcastically, "And, just like you, she enjoys developing all sorts of dangerous Ninjutsu!"

"You two probably have a lot in common... why not save that for the fight!" he sneered. "Let's end this small talk here!"

Is it over already? Sakura Haruno is a little disappointed; she actually had many questions she wanted to discuss with the Second Hokage...

Having witnessed this Ninjutsu firsthand, she longed for it even more: the summoned dead were all fully intelligent beings, capable of answering her Ninjutsu questions, and could even serve as her sparring partners, training with her!

It's such a waste that this Ninjutsu fell into Orochimaru's hands!

However, before considering how to obtain permission for this forbidden technique or seize the information about it from Orochimaru...

Sakura's primary concern should be how to defeat Orochimaru, who used forbidden techniques...

The Second Hokage's strength was top-tier even among the "Kage" level ninjas; however, according to Tsunade's description, the two Hokage summoned by Orochimaru at that time only had the combat power of Elite Jonin. If it weren't for their unlimited Chakra and ability to quickly recover from any injury, the Third Hokage probably wouldn't have lost an arm!

The strength of the Second Hokage before her was completely different from what Tsunade had described; it seemed Orochimaru had improved the technique considerably!

That abyss-like, hellish quality of Chakra, that sharp, intimidating, and terrifying aura...

"I can almost unleash 80% of my power... It seems you've greatly improved the precision of the Impure World Reincarnation, young man!" the Second Hokage suddenly said, turning back to give Orochimaru, who was casting the jutsu to control him, a cold glance. "However, haven't you made a mistake...?"

Orochimaru was startled!

A flash of cold light, and the Second Hokage's attack was so fast that even Sakura in her Cherry Blossom Impact - Stage Two couldn't react!

"Space-Time Ninjutsu: Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Call out--!

The next second, Orochimaru's head was already flying into the air!

Splash...

Bright red blood gushed wildly from Orochimaru's neck, as spectacular as a holiday fountain!

The Second Hokage's figure, wielding a sword and slashing, suddenly stopped behind Orochimaru's mangled body.

"You think you can bind me with your Impure World Reincarnation, you bastard!" Tobirama Senju's voice was as cold and piercing as the wind on a high mountain!

"He's not dead yet!" Sakura Haruno cried out from afar.

She had just made a defensive move when she realized that the Second Hokage's attack was actually a counterattack against Orochimaru!

The speed and power of the Flying Thunder God Slash were so great that even Sakura Haruno, who had activated Cherry Blossom Impact - Stage Two, was caught off guard... In just an instant, he appeared in front of Orochimaru and slashed through the air! The attack was completed in less than the blink of an eye. This sharp offensive even chilled Sakura, who was watching from the sidelines; what if this strike had been aimed at her...?

Is it possible to dodge it?

She felt a pang of sympathy!

Sakura Haruno's reminder came a little too late.

"Uh!" The Second Hokage's movements suddenly froze, his expression changing slightly. "He really isn't dead... and the binding power has actually increased to this extent!"

He was completely paralyzed, only his eyes could move. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Orochimaru emerging from the corpse, his gaze dark and menacing. "You actually transplanted my brother's cells into your body..."

Orochimaru smiled coldly, but his hand Hand Seals remained firmly in place. He said, "You almost broke free... That was close!"

The man in the kimono slid out of the corpse's mouth, licked his lips, and said, "Luckily, I didn't summon the First Hokage as well, or it would have been really dangerous..."

The thought of almost making a mistake and summoning the First Hokage, who possessed more than half of his former strength, still made Orochimaru feel a bit apprehensive. If the Second Hokage was this terrifying, what kind of strength must the First Hokage, who was several levels stronger than him, possess?

"You actually dare to try and seize Hashirama's power," the Second Hokage said coldly, his aura still incredibly strong even though he was bound. "You're truly courting death!"

"You dead man, stop worrying about the living. Get back to fighting!"

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, he was suddenly startled and abruptly turned to look at Sakura Haruno.

A gigantic monster, hundreds of meters long, solidified in mid-air while Orochimaru was binding Tobirama Senju!

As the two were talking, the giant beast let out a terrifying roar and impatiently swooped down from the sky, hurtling towards Orochimaru's position!

"Water Release: Leviathan's Wrath!"

"What an amazing girl!" The Second Hokage smiled as he watched the massive insectoid beast charging towards them with overwhelming force, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them. "To be able to unleash this Ninjutsu with such power, it seems Konoha has a worthy successor!"

He uttered words of praise, but his hands uncontrollably formed hand Hand Seals: "Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

Suddenly, a massive area of seawater, spanning hundreds of meters in Tobirama Senju, surged up. It was as if Tobirama Senju had lifted up millions of tons of seawater! Under his Chakra control, it transformed into a gigantic wall of water that stretched across the sea, blocking the path of the ferocious monster!

Water Release versus Water Release!

The endless seawater collided violently in the air, producing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, its power terrifying! The sound waves compressed the air, forming a visible, surging wall of air that spread out with a thunderous boom, instantly creating a wave tens of meters high on the sea surface!

In the ocean environment, both Tobirama Senju Sakura Haruno unleashed their full power. The force of their clashing Ninjutsu was even stronger than Orochimaru's long-prepared and fully-powered Fire Style!

Even Orochimaru, who was fully controlling the Second Hokage, was terrified!

"Even more terrifying than her Ice Release..." Orochimaru coldly, manipulating the Second Hokage to complete this level of Ninjutsu. Even he sounded a little strained! In the clash of Ninjutsu, the Water Formation Wall hastily set up by the Second Hokage swayed precariously and was quickly defeated. The two of them quickly jumped up to avoid the remaining force of the giant beast.

In mid-air, the Second Hokage rapidly Hand Seals, completing his Ninjutsu simultaneously with Sakura Haruno on the opposite side.

The two Water Release ninjas used the same technique in perfect unison!
