"It's been a long time, Lord Second Hokage. And Itachi."
Though they were separated by several hundred meters, Orochimaru's hoarse voice still reached Tobirama Senju and Itachi Uchiha clearly.
"You brat who enjoys playing with my forbidden techniques, have you already forgotten how pathetically you fled last time?"
Tobirama Senju showed Orochimaru no courtesy, mockingly ridiculing him.
Orochimaru did not get angry and merely continued speaking to himself.
"To be honest, I never wanted to become enemies with you and Konoha..."
"After all, ever since your resurrection, the somewhat decayed Konoha seems to have been reborn. I was quite curious to see what Konoha would become under your leadership!"
At Orochimaru's words, Deva Path Pain's expression darkened.
Seeing this, Orochimaru changed his tone, his expression gradually turning serious.
"However, since Akatsuki obtained Itachi's eyes for me in exchange for my assistance, it is a perfectly fair transaction... My apologies, Lord Hokage!"
Tobirama Senju gave a faint laugh upon hearing that and said:
"Since you are so confident that you can take me down, then come and try."
"Rinnegan brat! Though you are merely a pitiful person being used, since you have chosen to oppose me, I will not show mercy!"
Before Nagato could wonder what Tobirama Senju meant, a massive water dragon had already enveloped Deva Path and Orochimaru within its attack range.
"Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!"
Nagato reacted extremely quickly, and the other Preta Path Pains he had arranged in advance instantly leaped out.
The Preta Path Pain spread his arms wide and stood before Deva Path and Orochimaru, continuously absorbing the chakra within the massive water dragon.
What astonishing chakra!
Nagato, hidden in the shadows, was startled. He had not expected even a casually cast Water Release from the Hokage to contain such an immense amount of chakra!
