Mangekyo's New Ability: Soul Steal

After Orochimaru performed the Summoning Technique.

Manda appeared.

The students taking the exam immediately panicked.

Meanwhile.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally made his move from the Hokage Building.

Baki led the Sand forces through Konoha's defenses.

They soon reached the wall outside the village.

He took a scroll from his robes.

Blood dripped onto it.

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

"Heh heh..."

"What are you going to do now?"

Orochimaru leaped onto Manda's head.

He passed Chuan Yu.

And charged straight toward the Hokage Building.

On the other side.

Kakashi evacuated some of the students to safety.

Then he headed for the Hokage Building to provide aid.

But at that very moment.

A squad of elite Sand Anbu blocked his way.

It seemed the Sand had spared no effort in preparing for this attack on Konoha.

They had assigned interceptors to deal with Konoha's capable shinobi.

For the time being.

Kakashi would probably be unable to help.

On the roof of the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the oncoming Orochimaru and slowly removed his Hokage robe.

Orochimaru could barely contain his excitement.

"Old man!"

"I've waited a long time for this day!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice.

Then he performed the Summoning Technique.

Enma appeared.

"I never thought you'd sink so low..."

"Orochimaru..."

"Are you really going to turn against Konoha?!"

Manda approached the eaves.

Orochimaru leaped down.

And slowly advanced on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He had never been so crazed.

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

"And you."

"You're the one who reopened it."

"My misunderstood talent was mistaken for madness."

"This is all your fault!"

Orochimaru's face twisted into a grimace.

Seeing how resolute Orochimaru was.

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Decided to take matters into his own hands.

And end this meaningless battle...

The two were only ten paces apart.

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was ready.

Orochimaru suddenly flashed an evil smile.

Four figures appeared around them.

Kidomaru.

Tayuya.

Sakon and Ukon.

Jirobo.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!"

All four slapped the ground at once.

A purple wall rose up around them.

"Looks like you've made quite a few preparations for today."

Even facing Orochimaru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still soft-hearted.

Orochimaru was probably his favorite student.

For a fleeting moment.

The scene seemed to fold in on itself.

Orochimaru before him looked just like the child he had once been.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes grew moist.

But in Orochimaru's eyes.

Those were nothing but crocodile tears.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the one who had driven him away.

He was called a lunatic because of Hiruzen Sarutobi, too.

Everything was because of him.

The memories replaying in his mind only deepened his hatred.

Orochimaru charged straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At that moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew.

The Orochimaru who had once been curious about everything was gone.

Mercy would only hold him back.

And shackle Konoha.

As Hokage.

He had to face what lay ahead...

"Earth Style: Earth Flow River!"

Earth surged forward in a churning wave.

Orochimaru stopped in his tracks.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

A thick earthen wall blocked the rushing earth.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi formed another set of hand seals.

"Compound Ninjutsu!"

"Earth Dragon Flame Stream!"

Earth Style combined with Fire Style.

A mud dragon spewed blazing flames.

The earthen wall before Orochimaru crumbled in an instant.

Then came a torrent of scalding mud.

Orochimaru leaped straight into the air.

His hands instantly transformed into two white snakes that bit into Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulders.

The poison entered through the bite marks.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly found himself weakening.

"Enma!"

In the blink of an eye, Enma behind Hiruzen Sarutobi transformed into an iron staff.

The staff spun rapidly through the air.

It struck and severed both of Orochimaru's white snakes.

Then it returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

"Old man..."

"Let me show you something..."

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

"Then I'll show you..."

"My new forbidden technique..."

Orochimaru laughed ominously.

At once.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed that something was wrong.

Elsewhere.

Fugaku led Root in a fierce fight against the Sand's Anbu.

The wall protecting the village was gradually giving way.

The Three-Headed Snake ignored the shinobi's attacks.

It simply kept ramming the wall.

It would probably break through in less than three minutes.

Then the Sand's main force would pour in.

Keeping them under control would become much more difficult.

Ibiki got goosebumps just looking at the Three-Headed Snake.

On the wall.

Cracks had already begun to appear.

Just then.

A Toad carrying two swords dropped from the sky!

"Summoning Technique!"

"Roof Collapse Technique!"

It pulled out its swords and plunged them down with all its might.

The Three-Headed Snake let out a scream.

It was killed on the spot.

Standing atop the Toad's head.

Was a white-haired, middle-aged man.

Chuan Yu happened to pass by.

The two locked eyes at the same time.

Jiraiya?

Chuan Yu froze for a moment.

Then he hurried toward the Hokage Building.

"Wait up!"

Jiraiya shouted after him.

But Chuan Yu had already gone.

He arrived at the foot of the Hokage Building.

And looked up.

The Four Purple Fiery Array towered above.

Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi were fighting for their lives.

With a leap, Chuan Yu landed on a nearby rooftop.

Orochimaru suddenly looked over.

He frowned at once.

A Four Violet Flames Formation of this level wasn't hard to break.

One punch was enough.

Chuan Yu easily reached Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.

"You're old. Stop trying to act tough."

Chuan Yu spoke calmly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a bitter smile.

Seeing Chuan Yu appear, Orochimaru

finally decided to unleash his trump card.

"Summoning Technique!"

The ground began to tremble.

A moment later,

three wooden coffins slowly rose from the ground.

But the third coffin only rose halfway before sinking back down.

"What?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the coffins in shock.

"Impure World Reincarnation..."

Chuan Yu took a deep breath and spoke coldly.

The coffins opened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's scalp instantly prickled.

"Monkey..."

"Long time no see..."

The two figures slowly stepped out of the coffins before them.

They were easy to recognize.

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

Hashirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju.

"To think I'd be summoned by the forbidden jutsu I created myself..."

"This feeling really sucks..."

The talkative Tobirama immediately started complaining.

Beside him, Hashirama Senju suddenly looked at Chuan Yu standing next to Hiruzen Sarutobi and froze.

"Is he one of Madara's descendants?"

Hearing this,

Tobirama flew into a rage.

"The first thing I see after coming back is a member of the Uchiha!"

"Evil Uchiha brat!"

"What's going on in Konoha now?!"

But before Chuan Yu could answer,

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

The two of them lost consciousness.

But just then,

something interesting happened.

[ Ding! The system sensed that the host had been mocked by an Impure World Reincarnation! ]

[ The Mangekyō Sharingan is furious! It has also awakened a new ability! ]

[ Soul Steal: Steal a fragment of the soul from the body of someone who has died.

It can be released during battle.

It does not need to be summoned through a living person.

It lasts for only five minutes.

It can only be used once.

The stolen soul possesses one-fifth of the deceased's strength from when they were alive.

Their ninjutsu is perfectly replicated.

The soul does not retain the deceased's memories or consciousness.

It dissipates once its use is complete. ]

[ Notice: Keep living people away! ]
