The Reanimated Hokage

(Released today, 1/6 of the series updated, please subscribe!)

Upon seeing the Ninja emerging from the coffin, all the Konoha Ninja gasped in surprise.

"That's... that's the First Hokage!"

"And the Second Hokage too!"

"How could this be? Isn't this a resurrection?"

Shisui Uchiha's expression was solemn. He quietly licked his lips and stood in front of the other Konoha Ninja, bearing the immense pressure.

The First Hokage was the first to open his eyes, looked around at his surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh, "We're doomed, we're fighting Konoha Ninja!"

"I told Tobirama not to develop those ridiculous forbidden techniques."

"Now look what's happened. We've all been awakened by Konoha's missing-nin and are being used against Konoha Ninja. This is truly the worst-case scenario."

As the First Hokage complained, the Second Hokage opened his eyes.

He ignored his brother's complaints and carefully observed his surroundings.

Seeing the surprised and wary Konoha Ninja, he frowned slightly but said nothing.

Seeing Shisui Uchiha completely absorbed, he blurted out instinctively, "That evil Uchiha brat is still standing at the forefront of the Konoha Ninja."

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Orochimaru: "You were the one who awakened me and my brother. How did you learn the [Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu]?"

"Wait, I recognize your face. You're the Civilian Ninja I assigned to the Monkey, and you're Tsunade 'Orochimaru classmate."

Orochimaru, feeling a chill run down his Tobirama Senju, grinned and replied, "Second Hokage, you're right. I am Orochimaru, Tsunade's classmate, Teacher Sarutobi's student."

Tobirama Senju looked at himself, then at Hashirama Senju, and praised, "Orochimaru, you are truly a genius. Not only have you mastered the [Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu], but you have also made significant improvements."

"I never imagined that my power would be restored to this extent after being awakened."

Orochimaru confidently stated, "That's because I prepared a special sacrifice, for which I consumed half of Hashirama Cells."

Tobirama Senju scoffed, "Well done."

"You are a disciple of the Monkey, but you are not wearing Konoha Forehead Protector. Although there are annoying Uchiha on the other side, they are all Konoha Ninja."

"It seems, Orochimaru, you've become missing-nin of Konoha. Just how did that Monkey become a teacher?"

Orochimaru laughed, "Our teacher is the Third Hokage, how could he have the energy to deal with us good-for-nothing students?"

"Second Hokage, please stop trying to escape. I have completely improved the [Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu], and I have discovered and eliminated all the hidden threats you left behind."

Tobirama Senju remained silent for a long while before saying, "Don't give me a chance to catch you."

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Second Hokage, you have no chance, but—?"

His neck was gripped in Hashirama Senju's hand, and he immediately stopped breathing and could no longer speak.

But the next moment, Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and another sticky Orochimaru crawled out of his mouth, taking the opportunity to break free from Hashirama Senju's control.

Hashirama Senju chuckled with interest, "The Monkey's apprentice is quite interesting; he's actually developed such a fascinating Substitution Technique."

Orochimaru dared not respond to the First Hokage. He scrambled away and fled a great distance before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The First Hokage was too strong. Not only did he break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation ahead of time, but he also completely controlled Orochimaru using only Taijutsu.

Orochimaru was a Kage -Kage-level Ninja, and a veteran among Kage-level Ninja, yet he acted like a recent graduate of the Ninja Academy in the hands of the First Hokage.

Orochimaru tried every method he could think of, but to no avail. He was forced to use the Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique, sacrificing a quarter of his Chakra, before finally gaining his freedom.

From that moment on, he dared not approach Hashirama Senju again, and shouted from a distance, "First Hokage, you are unimaginably powerful."

"But the stronger you are, the stronger your suppression of the Konoha Ninja will be, and the greater my chance of escaping successfully, haha."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his entire body transformed into a withered snakeskin.

It turns out he had unknowingly used the Orochimaru-style Snake Shedding Clone Technique, and his true form had already secretly escaped.

The moment Orochimaru disappeared, Shisui Uchiha vanished as well.

The next moment, Shisui appeared in front of a large tree and chopped it down. Orochimaru, who had been wrapped around the tree, then appeared.

Orochimaru avoided Shisui's gaze, closing his eyes as he said, "Body Flicker Shisui is indeed very fast, but are you really sure you want to chase me, instead of blocking the two Lord Hokage?"

"Their rationality will soon vanish, and they'll attack the Konoha Ninja!"

Shisui Uchiha said, "Orochimaru, you were able to temporarily awaken two Former Hokage. Your research on the [Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu] is indeed not to be underestimated."

"But I'm no match for the First Hokage. If I try to stop him, I'll only be defeated along with the others."

Orochimaru asked, somewhat incredulously, "You're just going to abandon us because you can't beat them?"

He suggested with exasperation, "If you can't win, you can stall for time. Where's your Susanoo?"

Shisui Uchiha shook his head and said, "Orochimaru, do you think I don't know about the First Hokage and the Second Hokage?"

"The Mangekyō Sharingan is not a reliable weapon against these two, especially the Second Hokage, who has developed too many Ninjutsu Susanoo."

"If I were to be entangled by the First Hokage and then subjected to a powerful attack by the Second Hokage, Susanoo to save my life."

"Such a big problem as the Former Hokage should naturally be left to the Fifth Hokage to handle."

"My mission is to bring you back to Konoha and hand you over to the Fifth Hokage."

Orochimaru gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "So the Fifth Hokage Shazo, has arrived. I'm truly curious about him."

"Back when I was still in the village, I had no idea that Shazo existed. It wasn't until long after I left the village that I heard about his many outrageous deeds."

Shisui Uchiha smiled smugly, his eyes full of respect. "It's alright, Orochimaru. If you're lucky enough, you'll be able to see the Fifth Hokage often in the future."

"Even if you're unlucky, you'll at least get to see the adults twice."

Shisui held up two fingers and waved them in front of his eyes to emphasize his point.

Orochimaru involuntarily glanced over and immediately noticed something amiss: Shisui Uchiha had raised two fingers slightly higher.

Because of this slight difference in height, the fingertips and Shisui's eyes briefly overlapped.

Orochimaru sensed the danger, but it was too late to look away. He met the gaze of a pair of bright red Sharingan with extremely complex patterns.

Immediately, Orochimaru felt his body become heavy, as if he were encased in steel, and he could no longer move.
