I never expected that merely loosening the First Hokage's consciousness a little would let him display such power. Worthy of the God of Shinobi!
Watching the reanimated First Hokage clear the field with a single Wood Style Jutsu, Orochimaru's excitement was obvious.
What Orochimaru failed to notice, however, was that after the reanimated First Hokage used Flower Tree World Descent, a faint gleam suddenly flashed through his eyes.
For a powerhouse on the First Hokage's level, once Orochimaru loosened even a fraction of his consciousness, it would become difficult to control him as freely as he wished afterward.

Itachi's body was gradually going numb, and only his mind remained clear.
Itachi's Chakra was already nearly depleted, and now he had inhaled the poisonous pollen drifting through the air, leaving him even more powerless to resist.
