Outside Sunagakure!

Rumble!

With a sound of earth splitting apart, a massive wooden dragon swiftly burst from the ground.

The wooden dragon was formed entirely from dark green branches, its body covered in sharp barbs, radiating an imposing presence.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

At the same time, the First Hokage opposite him had completed his hand seals. Coincidentally, he used the same Wood Dragon Technique, and an equally massive wooden dragon instantly burst from the ground.

The two wooden dragons faced each other from afar. The next moment, both moved at once, colliding almost instantly.

Boom!

The instant they collided, a tremendous shockwave erupted. Dark green wood chips scattered in every direction.

As expected of the man known as the God of Shinobi. Even in this state, he is not the slightest bit inferior when using the same ninjutsu as me, Naraku thought to himself.

"Let's see how you handle this!"

The next moment, a powerful surge of ocular power erupted from his right eye, and a cluster of black flames instantly appeared on the First Hokage's body.

"Black Flame Lightning!"

Not far away, Orochimaru, who was battling Jiraiya, instantly narrowed his pupils. He had witnessed the power of those black flames before.

Without hesitation, he formed a one-handed seal. After a surge of chakra rushed forth—

The First Hokage immediately moved. He swiftly grabbed the red armor on his body and flung it to the ground, shedding the black flames along with it.

"Uh!"

"Isn't this imitating Madara?"

Naraku was slightly stunned. Perhaps he had been in this Shinobi World for too long; he had nearly forgotten about this move.

"Ninja Art: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang across the battlefield. Jiraiya's unruly long hair rapidly grew, then lashed fiercely toward Orochimaru like steel needles.
