Tobirama Senju.
Without a doubt, his death truly embodied his own Will of Fire.
To protect his subordinates, he volunteered to act as bait and, as Hokage, entrusted his will to the next generation. He sacrificed himself to cover his subordinates' retreat.
Among them was Kagami Uchiha's grandfather.
This is why, even though he really dislikes Tobirama Senju, he pretends not to see him as long as Tobirama Senju doesn't bother him.
Kagami Uchiha is not a mean-spirited or ungrateful person; he is willing to repay the debt owed to him by his ancestors.
If he weren't that kind of person, he wouldn't have developed a sense of identification with the Uchiha Clan.
Moreover, he never thought that Tobirama Senju's actions were wrong. If their positions were reversed, he would have gone even further than Tobirama Senju.
——
The center of the Death Forest.
With Nagato and his group as the origin, the endless repulsive force was like a hurricane, uprooting the rocks and giant trees and blowing them all away!
The terrifying force leveled the area for miles around!
This massive tremor drew the attention of everyone inside the barrier.
"Is that... Akatsuki is fighting someone?"
"Is it the Lightning-Earth Allied Forces, or those guys from Hidden Fire Village?"
Based on current intelligence analysis, most people believe that these three teams are overwhelmingly powerful.
Tobirama Senju, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Four Snakes, teleported, manipulating Kinkaku and Ginkaku to move forward amidst the repulsive force.
The Impure World Reincarnation Ginkaku are not as strong as they were in life, but they are still enough to gather intelligence.
"Is the technique of using repulsion and attraction a power of the Rinnegan...?"
Its strength is decent; it's definitely enough to deal with ordinary ninjas, but in Tobirama Senju's eyes, it's just so-so.
He needs one hand to Hand Seals to control the Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and the other hand to form several mudras.
Water Release: Water Riding Wave.
Suddenly, waves surged up on the previously dry land!
"The scope of this technique is too vast; the Preta Path simply cannot absorb it in time!"
Nagato frowned slightly.
"That person is Second Hokage, so it's not an exaggeration to overestimate him."
Jiraiya grinned and jumped onto the summoned bird he had summoned in the Animal Path with the others.
"Jiraiya- sensei, how much longer?"
"A few minutes, that'll be quick. Look, Orochimaru on the other side isn't even done yet."
"Jiraiya, Nagato, be careful not to get marked by the Flying Thunder God Mark."
The sage Fukasaku, perched on Jiraiya's shoulder, spoke in Sage Fukasaku.
"Tobirama Senju once severely injured Uchiha Izuna with the Flying Thunder God Slash, causing his death. That was Mangekyō Sharingan level ability!"
Nagato was startled and quickly checked his Pain puppet for the Flying Thunder God Mark.
Currently, there are only two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan in the Shinobi World.
Those are Kagami Uchiha and Uchiha Obito.
They were unaware that Kagami Uchiha's Mangekyo was different.
Even by the standard of Uchiha Obito, the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan is obvious.
Even Nagato found that strange spacetime ability very troublesome.
The Mangekyou Mangekyo that Sage Fukasaku was familiar with before was from Uchiha Madara's generation, and his concept of the Mangekyo Uchiha Madara.
Fortunately, Fugaku's Mangekyo remains unknown to the world.
Otherwise, the reputation of the Mangekyo Sharingan among Shinobi World would plummet.
"Both the Second Hokage and the old man are Impure World Reincarnation Body, and even Orochimaru was able to survive against Kagami."
"Go ahead and do as you please, Nagato!"
"I would have done it even without you telling me." After checking that there were no marks, Asura Path a step forward in the Nagato, and the skin on his palm split open, revealing a metallic luster.
Its head resembles a watermelon split open, with a deep, dark cannon muzzle.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Countless missiles, rockets, and even laser beams shot out!
Under the terrifying barrage of firepower, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku were shattered into pieces!
"To deal with Impure World Reincarnation Tensei ninja, you must use Sealing Jutsu after destroying him, otherwise the battle will not end."
Sealing Jutsu...
Not necessarily, when it comes to dealing with this kind of thing...
Whoosh!
Human Path Pain Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of the slowly gathering Kinkaku and Ginkaku, extending his palm.
Grab their heads.
Buzz—
A strange buzzing sound rang out, and the souls of Kinkaku and Ginkaku were gradually pulled out of their Impure World Body!
"What kind of ability is this!?"
"In the face of the Rinnegan, the Impure World Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu is nothing more than a mere formality."
Nagato snorted coldly and increased his chakra, trying to speed up the extraction of Kinkaku and Ginkaku's souls.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a surge of violent chakra erupted from Kinkaku and Ginkaku, forcefully breaking through the Human Path!
On the lake created by Tobirama Senju.
Both were enveloped in crimson chakra, and several enormous tails swayed behind them.
"This is..."
"What's going on?!"
"How could these two guys possibly be Jinchuriki?!"
Nagato and Jiraiya were extremely surprised.
The Akatsuki's goal was to collect all the Tailed Beast. Even if they didn't know each Jinchuriki inside and out, they at least had some general information about them.
These two guys aren't even on the list!
"Kinkaku and Ginkaku, I've heard of them."
The saying "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure" comes to mind.
The Sage Fukasaku voice.
"The two brothers possess the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths and can freely manipulate the five great ninja tools of the Sage of Six Paths. They obtained the Nine-Tails Chakra by devouring the flesh and blood of the Nine- Nine-Tails."
"They are revered as two beams of light in the clouds."
"Because of the crime of murdering the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage, he became the most heinous criminal in the history of Kumogakure!"
Nagato's eyes lit up.
"Sage Fukasaku... you mean..."
"They possess the Nine-Tails Chakra!"
His biggest worry was how to obtain the Nine-Tails from Konoha.
If there were other ways...
He and Konan exchanged a glance.
We absolutely must snatch the Kinkaku and Ginkaku!
Therefore, it would be worth it even if that technique had to be used!
Above the water below, Kinkaku and Ginkaku in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode flew back to Tobirama Senju's location.
"That kind of soul-extraction Cursed Technique..."
Tobirama Senju frowned deeply.
The Rinnegan has so many abilities that it even has methods specifically designed to deal with souls.
"We need to take down that Rinnegan clone first. It would be troublesome if he accidentally extracted my soul."
Orochimaru, are you ready?
He turned his head away.
At this moment, Orochimaru was in a completely inhuman form.
Two sharp horns grew from his forehead, and his entire body emitted several snake-shaped transparent chakra.
Purple eyeshadow extends to cover both cheeks.
His exposed skin was covered with white scales, and the Three Snake Princesses transformed into three large snakes—blue, green, and orange—that coiled around his body.
Sage Mode.
The key to becoming an immortal lies in having the perseverance to never give up.
Orochimaru gathered his disheveled long hair with both hands, a smile playing on his lips.
"Ready, better than ever before."
"Your Sage Mode ... is somewhat different from your older brother's." Tobirama Senju sensed Orochimaru's greatly increased chakra and compared it with the image of Hashirama Senju in his memory.
"The Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave is the kind that gets stronger the more superhuman the inhuman, which is different from what Lord Hashirama."
Orochimaru explained, then looked up at the tall figure on the strange bird.
"Speaking of which, I've never seen you like this before. It's really ugly, Jiraiya."
"Hahaha, you're no better than that, Orochimaru!"
Whoosh!
Jiraiya, accompanied by two great sages, descended powerfully and completed the Cursed Technique in mid-air.
"Celestial arts..."
"Sage Art: Goemon!"
Oil, Wind Release, Fire Release.
The combination of these three ingredients unleashed a torrent of scorching oil!
