Orochimaru was startled and hurriedly swept the earthen hill apart with his snake tail.
However, his snake tail was tripped by a rock and knocked to the ground!
"Damn it! How could this rock be fake?"
A trace of resentment appeared on Orochimaru's face.
He knew he had been tricked!
"Teacher! You're too despicable! You actually toyed with me!"
"Hehe... Orochimaru, this old man was merely taking precautions! If you don't want to die, surrender obediently. Otherwise, don't blame this old man for showing no mercy!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered, moved, and fired another earthen projectile.
Bang!!
Orochimaru hurriedly dodged.
Although he was not afraid of the earth dragon's attack, he did not want to clash head-on!
After all, Orochimaru was slightly weaker than Hiruzen Sarutobi. He did not want to lose his life through carelessness!
"Orochimaru! Do you think this is over?! Take this! Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!!!"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he directly threw out five shuriken!
Then he rapidly formed hand seals. The five shuriken instantly became fifty, all shooting toward Orochimaru!
"Damn old man! Don't get too full of yourself! Impure World Reincarnation!!!"
Clang, clang, clang!
Just as Orochimaru was about to be struck by the shuriken, two coffins rose from the ground and blocked every one of them!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock!
He was not shocked that his technique had been blocked, but by the two people who emerged from the coffins. It was utterly unbelievable!
"They're... the First Hokage and the Second Hokage! Orochimaru! You actually dare to defile the dead!!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi roared furiously!
"Hehehe... Teacher, Teacher! Didn't expect this, did you?"
Orochimaru sneered. "There are many more things you never expected! Just wait to embrace death!"
"Even at death's door, you refuse to repent! You will surely face retribution!"
"Retribution?! Hahaha! Your greatest retribution was that you couldn't bear to kill me back then!"
Laughing, Orochimaru planted cursed seals on the First Hokage and Second Hokage. In an instant, their bodies reacted as though they had been electrified.
"This is simply perfect! A battle between the First and Second Hokage against the Third Hokage—what a once-in-a-millennium spectacle! Hahaha!"
As Orochimaru watched the First and Second Hokage struggle without end, his face was filled with excitement.
"Teacher, I told you that you would not meet a good end!"
"Now, I'll send you to your grave! Hahaha!!!"
"Die, Teacher!"
Orochimaru laughed madly, his hands constantly forming all manner of strange seals. Then, a black-red beam surged from Orochimaru's body into the bodies of the two Hokage!
The next second, Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, and Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, charged directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi!
"Hmph! Cheap tricks!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted coldly and fiercely swung the kunai in his hand, directly blocking all of the two Hokage's attacks!
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's body was abruptly forced backward!
He discovered that Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's bodies were constantly regenerating!
This had to be the effect of that Impure World Reincarnation!
Just how many forbidden techniques had Orochimaru cultivated?
"No! If this continues, I will definitely lose!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned as he considered a countermeasure.
Outside the barrier, Zhi Ge and the ANBU squad were even more frantic with worry. They could still watch with some peace of mind when it had been one-on-one.
But now it was one against three, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was already old. The situation was unimaginably dire!
"What do we do? We have to help Grandpa Hokage!"
Zhi Ge clenched his fists tightly, anxiety appearing on his face.
"Mm! We must stop Orochimaru!"
The ANBU squad nodded solemnly as well.
Just then, a huge boom suddenly rang out from the sky!
A gigantic toad descended from above!
And standing atop the toad's head was none other than Jiraiya!
"Lord Jiraiya! When did you..."
Seeing that the newcomer was Jiraiya, the ANBU squad was overjoyed and all dropped to their knees.
However, at that moment, Zhi Ge's loud shout interrupted them.
"Pervy Sage! Why did you come so late?! Things are already burning down around us! Hurry up and help!!!"
"Impudence! Do you know who you're speaking to?! This is one of the Legendary Sannin! You actually dare call him Pervy Sage! How outrageous!"
"That's right! Zhi Ge, you've gone too far! Lord Jiraiya, please don't be angry!"
"Lord Jiraiya, please calm your anger!"
Upon hearing this, every member of the ANBU squad looked anxious, afraid that they might anger Jiraiya at such a life-or-death moment.
"Hahaha! You people! Pervy Sage is my master! What's wrong with me calling him that?"
Seeing the ANBU squad's worried expressions, Zhi Ge became greatly annoyed and shouted at them.
"Uh..."
The crowd could not help looking at one another. What... what was going on?
"Zhi Ge is actually the disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin!"
"No wonder he's so powerful!"
"I told you this kid was absolutely reliable!"
"That's right! Just as expected of someone taught by Lord Jiraiya!"
Seeing that Zhi Ge had actually become the disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, the ANBU members were all astonished and immediately changed their tune.
"Old man, don't you dare die..."
Jiraiya frowned tightly as he looked at the battle within the barrier.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also noticed Jiraiya's arrival, which surprised him greatly.
The most disappointing disciple from his early years had actually come to save him now!
"You brat! You finally decided to come see me! Don't tell me you came to see your teacher one last time!"
The first thing Hiruzen Sarutobi said upon seeing Jiraiya was to tease him.
Jiraiya was not angry. He merely smiled faintly and said softly, "Of course not! You will always be my master!"
After saying that, Jiraiya's body suddenly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, a Rasengan formed in one hand!
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood his intent. He flashed directly to Jirobo, a member of Orochimaru's guard squad, and kicked him flying.
At that instant, the entire barrier vanished along with him!
Rasengan!!!
The barrier disappeared, and Jiraiya rushed straight before Orochimaru, slamming his palm into Orochimaru's chest!
Rumble...
With a tremendous roar, Orochimaru was blasted away!
Pfft!
Orochimaru spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of unwillingness!
"Damn you, Jiraiya! We old friends haven't seen each other for so many years, and the moment we meet, without even saying a word, you treat me to a Rasengan? Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
