Orochimaru really was a restless troublemaker.

"It means exactly what it says." Orochimaru grinned wickedly, spreading his hands with a helpless expression.

Tōka's face darkened instantly. He already disliked trouble, and Orochimaru was deliberately making things difficult for him. Wasn't this just making him suffer?

I need an explanation.

Tōka wouldn't let Orochimaru get away with it so easily; the reason of perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu Formula wasn't enough to convince Tōka.

Furthermore, Orochimaru did not mention before his arrival that the summoned Hokage would be uncontrollable.

"Tōka, this is something I didn't expect either." Orochimaru sensed the dangerous aura in Tōka's eyes and put away his gloating expression.

He truly hadn't expected that the First Hokage, who pacified the Warring States period and was hailed as the God of Ninja World, would be so strong.

The Hokage summoned through the perfected Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu possessed power nearly equal to their peak strength in life.

In other words, besides having the strongest power, they also possess immortality.

The Impure World Reincarnation alone is not enough to restrain four people. Not to mention four people, even the First Hokage alone could easily break the restraint.

"So, you're saying that giving you enough power will allow you to suppress them?" Tōka countered.

"Theoretically, that's how it is." Orochimaru looked at Tōka with suspicion. Give him enough power? Enough to suppress the First Hokage's power?

A glint of light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, but the burning passion in his heart vanished in an instant.

He didn't believe Tōka could give him the power to suppress the First Hokage.

As the one who initiated the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu Formula, Orochimaru personally felt the pressure emanating from the previous Hokage.

The fighting power of the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage may be above his, but they are still at the same level, so the pressure is still manageable.

The aura emanating from the Second Hokage made Orochimaru somewhat nervous.

As for the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, he gave Orochimaru the feeling of an endless Forest.

Standing beneath the tree, one sees a deep, dark forest path stretching to the horizon. Standing atop the tree, however, one is greeted by a vast expanse of verdant forest, its edge seemingly connecting heaven and earth.

Tōka is proficient in Kekkei Mōra and possesses seven attributes: wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang. His chakra is further enhanced by the immense Natural Energy fused with the roots of the Divine Tree.

In other words, Tōka's original power is the same as Kaguya's.

It's just that different people exhibit different abilities.

How will you know if you don't try?

As soon as he finished speaking, Tōka's figure flashed and appeared directly behind Orochimaru, his hand forming a palm and gathering a ball of Dark Green light.

Buzz!

Tōka stretched out his arm and slammed his palm down on Orochimaru's back.

Orochimaru frowned slightly, hesitating whether to dodge, but he was also looking forward to the power that Tōka had mentioned that was enough to suppress the First Hokage.

In a moment of hesitation, Tōka's palm was less than three inches away from Orochimaru's back.

Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!

A deep, resolute voice rang out, and the Second Hokage's palm saw a swirling torrent of water rapidly compress into a completely transparent Water Release javelin.

The Second Hokage took a step forward and then suddenly thrust the javelin in his hand out.

With a whoosh!

The javelin shot towards Tōka's Original Body.

If chakra is forcibly injected into Orochimaru's body, he will definitely be hit by the Second Hokage's Hard Vortex Water Blade.

Tōka's eyes narrowed, instantly determining the speed and trajectory of the Hard Vortex Water Blade.

The Hard Vortex Water Blade is no ordinary Water Release javelin!

Upon contact with its target, the javelin forms a massive waterspout, possessing immense power and dazzling beauty; its attack range varies depending on the amount of chakra it contains.

Buzz!

A faint Ice Blue halo One Flash in Tōka's pupils, and a mysterious spacetime power was activated, causing the Hard Vortex Water Blade to pierce through his body in an instant.

A deafening roar!

It came from the basement walls; boulders were shattering, rock layers were collapsing, and the entire underground space was shaking.

"Tobirama, you went too far." Hashirama Senju dropped his silly expression and adopted a serious one.

At the same time, he suddenly squatted down and slapped his hands on the ground.

A terrifying surge of chakra erupted, and a powerful Wood Release technique was channeled into the earth, causing Big Tree, as thick as a man's waist, to grow wildly.

In just a few moments, the entire collapsed basement was stabilized.

As expected of the God of the Ninja World!

A serious look appeared in Tōka's eyes. His reaction speed, Hand Seals speed, and abundant chakra were all top-notch.

The shaking ground stabilized, and everyone's attention returned to Tōka.

"If I'm not mistaken, that was Space-Time Ninjutsu, wasn't it?" The Third Hokage's voice rang out, clearly addressing Minato Namikaze.

"It is indeed Space-Time Ninjutsu." Minato Namikaze was known as the Yellow Flash precisely because he was proficient in the Space-Time Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not only did the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze recognize it, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, who also Flying Thunder God, naturally also realized that the move Tōka had just dodged was Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Immediately, Tobirama Senju's expression turned serious, and he whispered to Hashirama Senju, "Brother, this kid has some skill."

Space-Time Ninjutsu represents absolute speed; whoever masters absolute speed controls the initiative on the Battlefield.

Whether to attack or retreat, it all depends on Tōka's single thought.

"Aren't you here? Besides, that blond kid over there should be on our side!" Hashirama Senju may seem carefree and silly, but he transforms into a completely different person once the battle begins.

He noticed the five large characters on Minato Namikaze Kage's Ceremonial Robe behind him: Fourth Hokage!

As the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju believed in the other's abilities, but he trusted the little monkey's judgment even more.

"I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I am Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha." Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Minato Namikaze turned around and pointed to the large characters on his Kage's Ceremonial Robe.

"Young and promising!" Hashirama Senju satisfaction, praising him without reservation.

"Fourth Hokage, you were so sure of the other party's abilities just now, could it be..." Tobirama Senju was incredibly perceptive; he could glean information from even the simplest of sentences.

The Third Hokage asked Minato whether the Jutsu Formula used when Tōka dodged was Space-Time Ninjutsu, and Minato gave an affirmative answer.

Tobirama Senju guessed that this young Fourth Hokage might also know Space-Time Ninjutsu.

That's why he asked that question once.

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, acknowledging Tobirama Senju's guess; everyone present was intelligent and a Kage-level.

Even though they've never fought together, they can develop a strong rapport in a short time.

Although not explicitly stated, the four already had plans to deal with Tōka.

With a whoosh!

The Third Hokage was the first to make a move. He appeared in a Body Flicker Technique, but his target was not Tōka, but Orochimaru was standing aside and planning to watch the show.

Orochimaru!

"Teacher Sarutobi..."

Orochimaru was helpless against the Third Hokage's obsession; he had only wanted to watch the show and witness the true power of Tōka.

That Old Man who won't let anyone rest in peace even after he's dead...

At the same time, Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze made their move simultaneously!

Flying Thunder God!

Leaping across the Lightning with incredible speed, in the blink of an eye, the two figures had vanished from their original spot, reappearing beside Tōka.

One left and one right!

Tobirama Senju his mouth, shooting it towards Tōka.

A powerful offensive Water Release Ninjutsu, extremely potent and lethal, as sharp as a blade.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, concentrated a stream of chakra in his palm and compressed it into a sphere using a high-speed spinning transformation.

"Water Severing Wave!"

"Rasengan!"

Boom!!

The sudden, powerful attack, combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, made it difficult for Tōka to keep up with the reaction speed. Moreover, Hashirama Senju wouldn't just stand by and watch.

"Thorn Binding Technique!"

Hashirama Senju a low shout, and a surge of Wood Release chakra poured into the ground, causing thorny vines to burst forth and strike directly at Tōka.

The emerald green thorns, like Poisonous Snake, coiled around Tōka's legs and climbed upwards, binding his entire body in an instant!

One control, two sure-kills!

The three worked together flawlessly, intending to kill Tōka in one fell swoop!

The First Hokage and Second Hokage were unaware of Tōka's identity, but from Tōka words, they could tell that he was an enemy of Konoha.

Moreover, the hand gestures secretly made by the Third Hokage made everyone pay close attention.

The Third Hokage's gesture wasn't an attack, but rather a signal for everyone to be careful!

"A killer move right off the bat? I haven't done anything to offend you!" Tōka looked terrified, his body completely under the control of Wood Release.

The powerful killing moves of the two Hokage, one on the left and one on the right, were less than a foot away from him.

In just one second—no, in just one instant— Tōka will be beheaded!

The three of them fixed their gazes on Tōka's figure, firmly believing in one thought: he couldn't escape!

Only...

Just as the Water Severing Wave and Rasengan were about to hit Tōka!

"Oh..."

A disdainful sneer rang out!

Immediately afterwards, an ominous feeling arose in everyone's hearts.

Puff!

Bang!

The two attacks, flanking from the left and right, landed on Tōka with fierce blows. The power unleashed by the two powerful chakra streams was enough to destroy everything.

Besides, Tōka is just a normal person made of flesh and blood!

However, at that moment, a surprising and unpredictable scene unfolded!

The figure reflected in the pupils of Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze suddenly changed... and became the likeness of Hashirama Senju!!

Recalling that soft chuckle from before, the two immediately realized what had happened!

They've been Genjutsu!

Fragments danced in the air, gradually coalescing towards Hashirama Senju's battered body. As an undead resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, he could continuously revive as long as he wasn't sealed away.

Although Hashirama Senju could be resurrected, the trio's plan failed, and they were also tricked by Tōka.

This feeling is like having a fly stuck in your throat!

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, Fourth Hokage..." As a clear, cold voice rang out, the three immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw something ten steps away.

In the ink-splashed canvas of mid-air, a Phantom gradually solidified and finally transformed into the likeness of Tōka.

A look of seriousness flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes as he glanced sideways at Hashirama Senju, whose body had been restored.

When exactly did the Genjutsu occur?

A question arose in the minds of all three of them simultaneously.

"What a formidable lineup!" Tōka said with a grin, though his face showed no fear whatsoever.

After he finished speaking, no one uttered a sound.

It's even less likely that they would attack Tōka, because this is in the environment, and the figure in front of them is probably not Tōka's Original Body, so attacking him would be pointless.

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage Orochimaru, who were engaged in fierce combat on the other side, also separated after a brutal clash.

In an instant, everyone in the basement focused their attention on the figure in mid-air.

Orochimaru, I look forward to seeing you again.

Showing weakness is only for the sake of final victory. Tōka never cares about retreating once or twice. He grabbed Kisame before the Genjutsu was broken.

The space shook violently, and a dark crack appeared as the space itself was torn apart. The two figures then disappeared into that spatial rift.

After leaving the Naka Shrine, Tōka and Kisame quickly moved through the Forest.

The two continued their journey without stopping, heading straight for the border of the Land of Fire. They now had only one goal: to travel to the Land of Rain and bring back news of their failed attempt to capture the Nine-Tails.

Kisame followed Tōka through the Forest, his gaze frequently falling on Tōka.

Finally, Kisame, who had been hesitant, seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said, "Tōka, there's something I'm not sure if I should ask."

"Then don't ask." Tōka retorted without turning her head.

Kisame nearly choked on his words. In this situation, shouldn't he just say what he really means?

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Kisame naturally wouldn't back down halfway since he had already made up his mind.

He paused, then asked, " With Tōka's power, why did you choose to retreat just now?"

Kisame had no doubt about Tōka's strength; the battle between Tōka and Yakura in the Land of Water that year had greatly shocked him.

Moreover, not long ago, Nagato Uzumaki, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization who possessed the Sage Eye, also died at the hands of Tōka.

Kisame also witnessed that battle, and he could sense that Tōka still had some strength left.

"Some things can't be solved by force alone," Tōka said in a drawn-out voice, as if sighing or reminiscing.

The best proof is Otsutsuki Kaguya, the mother of Tōka!

Even a powerful and immortal being like Kaguya cannot control the entire world by force, let alone Tōka, who has not yet reached Kaguya's level.

Kisame looked thoughtful, as if he didn't understand at all.

"What is our purpose in coming here?" Tōka countered.

"I came for Nine-Tails' chakra," Kisame answered without hesitation.

"Under those circumstances, could you take the Fourth Hokage with you?" Tōka asked again.

Kisame frowned slightly. Tōka might be able to defeat those guys and seal them all away, but capturing the Fourth Hokage alive and taking him away?

Kisame shook his head, unsure if Tōka could do it.

Not to mention...

Uchiha Madara's goal was not Tōka's goal, Black Zetsu's goal was not Tōka's goal, and Kaguya's goal was not Tōka's goal.

Now is not the time to reveal our full power! A sharp glint flashed in Tōka's eyes, then disappeared into his deep black pupils.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two figures disappeared into the depths of the dense Forest in a few leaps.
