Mangekyo New Ability: Soul Steal

As Orochimaru released the Summoning Technique.

Manda appeared.

The students taking the exam were instantly thrown into a panic.

Meanwhile.

Hiruzen Sarutobi at the Hokage Building finally reacted.

Baki led the Sand forces to break through Konoha's defenses.

They quickly reached the wall in front of the village.

He pulled a scroll from his robes.

Blood dripped onto it.

In an instant, a massive Three-Headed Snake appeared.

"Hehe..."

"What will you do now?"

Orochimaru leaped onto the head of Manda.

Passing by Chuan Yu.

He charged directly toward the Hokage Building.

On the other side.

Kakashi evacuated some of the students to a safe area.

Then, he headed toward the Hokage Building to provide reinforcements.

But at that very moment.

An elite squad of Sand Anbu intercepted him.

It seemed the Sand had put a great deal of effort into this attack on Konoha.

For every capable ninja in Konoha.

The Sand had assigned someone to intercept them.

In the short term.

Kakashi would surely be unable to provide aid.

On the roof of the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the approaching Orochimaru and slowly took off his Hokage cloak.

The excitement on Orochimaru's face was uncontrollable.

"Old man!"

"I have waited a long time for this day!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice.

He immediately released the Summoning Technique.

Enma appeared.

"I never imagined you would fall to such depths..."

"Orochimaru..."

"Are you truly going to set yourself against Konoha?!"

Manda neared the eaves.

Orochimaru jumped down.

He slowly closed in on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He had never been this manic before.

"To me, Konoha is more like a scar."

"And you."

"Are the one who tore that scar open."

"A talent that wasn't understood was mistaken for madness."

"All of this is thanks to you!"

Orochimaru's expression gradually turned ferocious.

Seeing Orochimaru's resolve.

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Decided to take action himself.

To end this meaningless battle...

The two were only ten paces apart.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi ready, Orochimaru suddenly revealed a wicked smile.

Four figures suddenly appeared around them.

Kidomaru.

Tayuya.

Sakon and Ukon.

Jirobo.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!"

The four simultaneously slapped the ground.

A purple wall rose abruptly.

"It seems you've made quite a few preparations for today."

Facing Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still very soft-hearted.

This was likely his favorite disciple.

In a daze, the scene seemed to fold in on itself.

The Orochimaru before him still had the appearance of a child from the past.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes immediately welled up.

However, to Orochimaru, these were crocodile tears.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the one who forced him to leave. He was called a madman because of Hiruzen Sarutobi. It was all because of him. The repeated memories added countless hatreds.

Orochimaru charged directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the Orochimaru who was once deeply curious about everything was no more. Kindness would only bind himself and Konoha. As Hokage, he had to face what was in front of him...

"Earth Style! Earth River!"

The earth rolled up. Orochimaru immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Earth Style! Earth Release!"

A thick earth wall blocked the rolling earth. Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals again.

"Compound Ninjutsu!"

"Earth Dragon Flame Stream!"

Earth Style combined with Fire Style. A mud dragon spewed raging flames. The earth wall before Orochimaru could not withstand it and collapsed instantly. What followed was a scorching mudflow. Orochimaru leaped up on the spot, his hands instantly transforming into two white snakes that bit Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulders. Poison entered through the bite marks. Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt his strength waning.

"Enma!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's Enma transformed into an iron staff in the blink of an eye.

While spinning rapidly in mid-air.

It struck out and severed two of Orochimaru's white snakes.

Then, it returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi's palm.

"Old man..."

"Let me show you something..."

"Since you think I'm a madman..."

"Then I shall display for you..."

"A new forbidden jutsu..."

Orochimaru laughed sinisterly.

Suddenly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of foreboding.

On the other side.

Fugaku was leading the Root in a fierce battle against the Anbu of the Sand.

The village's defensive wall was gradually failing to hold.

The three-headed snake ignored the ninjas' attacks.

It simply rammed into the wall again and again.

In less than three minutes, surely.

The wall would be breached.

Once that happened, the main force of the Sand would charge in.

Controlling the situation would become much more troublesome.

Ibiki felt his scalp tingle as he stared at the three-headed snake.

On the wall.

Cracks had already appeared.

Just then.

A toad carrying two swords descended from the sky!

"Summoning Technique!"

"Roof Collapse Technique!"

It drew its two swords and plunged them down fiercely.

The three-headed snake let out a miserable shriek.

It was killed on the spot.

Atop the toad's head.

A middle-aged man with white hair appeared.

Chuan Yu happened to be passing by.

Their eyes met.

Jiraiya?

Chuan Yu was stunned for a moment.

Then, he hurriedly dashed toward the Hokage Building.

"Wait a second!"

Jiraiya shouted in a hurry.

But Chuan Yu was already far away.

He arrived at the foot of the Hokage Building.

He looked up.

The Four Purple Fiery Array hung high above.

Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

He leaped onto the adjacent rooftop.

Orochimaru suddenly looked over.

His brow furrowed instantly.

This level of the Four Violet Flames Formation wasn't difficult to break.

One punch would suffice.

Chuan Yu easily arrived beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Don't push yourself too hard when you're old."

Chuan Yu spoke indifferently.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled wryly and shook his head.

Seeing Chuan Yu appear, Orochimaru.

Finally decided to unleash his trump card.

"Summoning Technique!"

The ground began to tremble.

Moments later.

Three wooden coffins slowly rose.

However, the third coffin only rose halfway before retracting.

"This is?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the wooden coffins in shock.

"Impure World Reincarnation..."

Chuan Yu said coldly, taking a deep breath.

The wooden coffins opened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's scalp went numb instantly.

"Monkey..."

"Long time no see..."

The two figures in the wooden coffins slowly emerged.

It was not difficult to recognize them.

They were the First and Second Hokage of the Senju clan.

Hashirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju.

"To be summoned by a forbidden jutsu I created myself..."

"This feeling is truly unpleasant..."

The talkative Tobirama started complaining as soon as he appeared.

Hashirama Senju beside him suddenly looked at Chuan Yu next to Hiruzen Sarutobi and was stunned.

"Are you a descendant of Madara?"

Hearing this.

Tobirama was instantly enraged.

"To see an Uchiha clansman as soon as I appear!"

"Evil Uchiha brat!"

"What's the situation in Konoha now?!"

However, before Chuan Yu could answer.

Orochimaru took out two talismans and placed them directly into Hashirama and Tobirama's bodies.

Their consciousnesses vanished.

But just then.

Something interesting happened.

[Ding! System senses the host being complained about by an Impure World Reincarnation body!]

[Mangekyo Sharingan is very angry! It has simultaneously stimulated a new ability!]

[Soul Steal: Steal a wisp of soul from the body of a deceased person.

It can be released in battle.

No need to attach to any living person for summoning.

The time limit is only five minutes.

And it can only be used once.

The stolen soul possesses one-fifth of the deceased's strength during their lifetime.]

Ninjutsu fully replicated.

Souls do not possess the consciousness of the deceased from their lifetime.

They dissipate once used.

[Hint: Living beings, avoid!]
