"What... what?!"
"What is this supposed to mean?!"
For the first time, Orochimaru's pale face showed an expression of near terror.
His prized trump card, the forbidden technique he had poured so much effort into researching—
Had actually... been undone just like that?!
He frantically tried to control the reanimated Tobirama through their mental connection, but it had no effect whatsoever!
His control over the Impure World Reincarnation had been completely severed!
Guy smiled when he saw this.
The Impure World Reincarnation was indeed powerful.
It was a technique that used sacrifices to "revive" the dead for battle.
The revived became controlled puppets, retaining most of the strength they had possessed in life.
And the stronger the sacrificial vessel, the more of their strength was preserved.
But this technique had one fatal weakness—
Once the summoned person learned the complete formula of the Impure World Reincarnation and seized the moment when the caster's control slackened or was lost—
The summoned person could actively break free of that control.
In the future, Uchiha Madara had used this very method to break free from Kabuto Yakushi's Impure World Reincarnation.
And as the inventor of the Impure World Reincarnation, how could Tobirama Senju not know how to undo it?
He had not used it earlier because Orochimaru had been secretly and continuously controlling Hashirama and Tobirama's bodies and movements.
Guy's perfectly timed kick had just caused Orochimaru's injury to briefly disrupt his precise control over the Impure World Reincarnation.
For a brief moment, Hashirama and Tobirama had been able to act freely by their own will.
Tobirama seized that fleeting opportunity and immediately released himself from control.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could this happen?!"
Orochimaru let out a hoarse, low roar, his voice twisted by shock and fury.
Tobirama slowly turned his head.
