Chapter 336

The punch, traveling at nearly eight times the speed of sound, Hashirama Senju, who possessed less than one-tenth of his full strength, with no time to react.

He exploded, turning into a shower of paper scraps.

On the other side, upon seeing this, the Third Kazekage, without hesitation, gathered countless Iron Sand and formed Iron Sand defense in front of him.

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju's impure body had been almost completely repaired.

"!"

Tobirama Senju, who had been blasted into pieces twice, also immediately took action.

They vanished without a trace on the spot.

"Body Flicker Technique?"

In the original work.

Tobirama Senju was known as the fastest ninja in the world.

There are two types of Body Flicker Technique.

One type is the ordinary Body Flicker Technique, which is moving from point A to point B – a must-have for showing off.

Another one is the S-class Flying Thunder God invented by Tobirama Senju. A doesn't go straight to B, nor does it curve, but rather it's a "folded" spatial jump!

Even with the eyesight of an ordinary Jonin, it would be impossible to detect Tobirama Senju's trajectory at this moment.

However, Akito saw through Tobirama Senju's movement route at a glance.

The immediate priority is to obtain Rasa and the specific arrangements for the Konoha Crush from Orochihime.

Therefore, the Akito period did not have time to watch Tobirama Senju perform with only one-tenth of his full strength.

Then.

The Akito threw a punch.

It struck Tobirama Senju directly as he moved at high speed.

Dozens of meters away, the entire earth and trees were shattered into pieces by this blow.

Centered on the location where Tobirama Senju was hit, debris and air churned outwards like waves.

Wherever it passed, dust billowed into the sky.

Tobirama Senju was smashed to pieces by a single punch for the third time.

That's what the impure body is like.

In the original story, Lee, having opened the Fourth Gate, kicked and Madara Uchiha with a single kick.

The impure body greatly weakens the physical form.

This is its weakness.

With the power of the Akito [76], they could crush it into dust even with their eyes closed.

Then.

Akito set his Kazekage on the slowest of the three, the Third Kazekage.

Of course, this "slow" is only relative. It refers to the difference between Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

Boom!!

Another punch landed, and a white beam of light roared.

Before the Third Kazekage's incredulous gaze, Iron Sand exploded into countless fragments.

Even Sakura's Monstrous Strength couldn't budge the Iron Sand in the slightest.

Before the fists of the Akito, they were as fragile as paper.

The Third Kazekage exploded, his head flying into the sky.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju was reborn in another place.

Countless scraps of paper, appearing out of nowhere, began to form his body.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique.

In a sense, it is indeed a very powerful regeneration technique.

Ordinary Ninjutsu, or even Dust Release Impure World Reincarnation into molecular form, cannot completely destroy it.

Even personally killing the caster cannot bring the impure back to the Pure Land.

However.

This was not an insurmountable problem for the Akito.

Even though Asuka, who is proficient in Sealing Jutsu, hasn't arrived yet.

Not by my side.

That's okay.

It's just a matter of throwing a few more punches.

Boom!

After two punches, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's still-developing bodies exploded again.

The Third Kazekage had already completed the repairs.

The Akito immediately looked over.

"!"

Just one look from him made him feel suffocated.

"What... am I afraid of?"

"I am now immortal!"

The Third Kazekage thought this, but a knot remained in his heart.

"The dignified Kazekage, just like that, was used by someone?"

The Akito suddenly spoke.

"You, who claimed to be the strongest, have become someone else's pawn in this lifeless state?"

"!"

The Third Kazekage opened his eyes wide.

"..."

Orochihime narrowed her eyes.

She instinctively sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Soon... that problem arose.

Because the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu was an incomplete technique, Orochihime only improved a part of it.

So she hasn't yet touched that technique's... major weakness.

That is...

"Dignity!"

The Third Kazekage let out a low shout, and his body began to struggle violently.

"I am the Kazekage... the Kazekage known as the 'strongest'... I am definitely not a puppet to be manipulated!"

In a struggle.

The Third Kazekage broke free from the constraints of the Impure World Reincarnation through his own willpower.

In an instant, the body of the impure earth crumbled and disintegrated.

The soul of the Third Kazekage ascended straight to heaven, soaring into the clouds.

Buzz...

A gleaming light opened up the dark, desolate space of the Forest of Death.

The white beam of light seemed to be a divine mandate.

A freed soul escapes the chasm between life and death.

"Interesting young people..."

As the Third Kazekage ascended to heaven, he looked at Akito like this.

"If I have to face a ninja like you as my opponent, then... I have no regrets for the village..."

Because a worthy opponent is one whose fate is acceptable, whether one lives or dies.

The Third Kazekage chose to return to the Underworld, leaving his trust in his descendants in the present world.

Rest in peace.

The Akito watched the soul ascend to heaven, and then...

The Akito looked at the dumbfounded Orochihime.

Boom!

He threw a punch.

The Hashirama Senju brothers, Tobirama Senju, whose bodies were not yet fully repaired, were instantly and simultaneously annihilated once again.

Snap...

Orochihime took a step back, chuckled, and her face grew even paler.

But Akito's burning gaze was fixed intently on her. "Well then, Orochihime... let's have some fun from now on..."

261. The Substitute Ninja: Amakawa Akito

"Hehe..."

Orochihime's face turned deathly pale, making her already pale complexion even more bloodless.

She had anticipated that the Akito could easily defeat the Reanimated Body.

They also understood the terror of immortality.

The three Kage Level attacks overlapped in succession, leaving even Amakawa Akito helpless.

But she never expected things to turn out this way.

The inner turmoil and hesitation stemmed from the need to "break" the "Impure World Reincarnation" technique.

The deceased managed to break free of his restraints in this way.

In fact.

Even in the later Shippuden era.

Sai's brother and Sasori of the Red Sands were both so moved that they ascended to heaven, their souls returning directly to the underworld.

The biggest flaw in the Impure World Reincarnation is the fulfillment of the deceased's wishes.

The Third Kazekage was betrayed by Sasori and was filled with hatred.

Although my wish was not completely fulfilled.

However, due to his own dignity, his recognition of Akito as an opponent, and the fact that the Impure World Reincarnation was not as complete as in the later stages, he was able to break free from his constraints.

Orochihime's proudest achievement is inheriting the Second Hokage's S-rank forbidden technique.

She easily broke through his scheme at her most arrogant moment.

It has to be said that this was the biggest blow to her.

For at least the time being, Orochihime must be filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The period of uncertainty during this time was enough for the Akito to do many things.

For example...

Orochihime, I'm going to harvest all the negative emotions from you!
