"What did you say?!" After hearing this, Naruto rushed to Sasuke like a ignited explosive, grabbed his collar, and roared:
"You bastard! How could I leave you and escape alone! We have to fight together! I'm not afraid of that Monster!"
Although Sakura's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly, she stood firmly beside Sasuke, holding Kunai tightly, her voice trembling but extremely clear. "Naruto is right, we can't abandon our companions! Team 7, if we want to fight, let's fight together!"
Sasuke looked at the two teammates beside him who wanted to stay regardless of life and death, especially Naruto's unflinching eyes, and a trace of extremely difficult to detect fluctuations flashed through his scarlet Sharingan.
He snorted coldly and shook off Naruto's hand. His tone still had that unique arrogance, but it was less cold:
"Hmph, it's up to you. But..." He turned his head and glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eyes, "You two, don't hold me back."
Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then understood Sasuke's awkward recognition. He bumped his fist hard, with a fighting smile on his face, and responded loudly, "You are the one, you bastard Sasuke! Don't let us compare you!"
Inside Four Violet Flames Formation, the air was suffocatingly heavy due to the pervasive dead silence Chakra.
In front of Orochimaru, two wooden coffins engraved with the characters "First" and "Second" slowly rose from the ground with a heart-wrenching friction sound.
However, just when the third coffin was about to emerge, it shook violently a few times, as if blocked by the power of Formless, and finally sank into the ground unwillingly and disappeared.
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils shrank slightly, and then he made a disdainful sound, "Hmph, did the third channeling fail? But it doesn't matter, the strength of the two of them is enough."
He turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a solemn expression, with undisguised malice and ridicule on his face. "Teacher Sarutobi, it seems that your popularity among Konoha is really not that good."
"As Hokage, you are in a desperate situation. Until now, no one has come to save you. The village you protect and the disciples you trained, where are they when you need them most?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked beyond Barrier and clearly saw the huge Toad and the wave of Slug covering the battlefield in the distance.
Instead of being disappointed, his face showed a happy and relieved smile. He shook his head gently:
"No, Orochimaru, you are wrong! Jiraiya They did a very good job."
His voice was calm and powerful, as if he was stating an eternal truth.
"I should have taught you that wherever Konoha flies, fire will continue to grow. Kakkō will continue to illuminate the village and let new leaves sprout."
He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Naruto Uzumaki's escape, his eyes full of expectation.
"Now I am just a withered old leaf that should have withered long ago. My only mission is to turn myself into Kakkō and light the way forward for the village."
"Protecting those young leaves that represent the future and hope is the most important and worthwhile thing they should do at this moment."
However, in the depths of his deep eyes, an imperceptible trace of sadness and understanding quietly passed through.
He murmured to himself in a low voice, "Danzo! Did you make this choice after all?"
Orochimaru roared, interrupting Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Stupid! Pedantic! Teacher Your so-called Will of Fire is simply a baseless lie!"
"Today, I will show you with my own hands how the big tree Konoha that you cherish has completely rotted, collapsed, and died!"
As he roared, the lids of the two coffins opened with a bang! A strong smell of dust hit his face, and two figures wearing red laminated armor slowly stepped out with the majestic momentum of the legendary era.
Their eyes are empty and their bodies are full of cracks, but they still exude a heart-stopping majesty.
Hashirama Senju looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a somewhat emotional and complicated tone:
"Long time no see, monkey."
Tobirama Senju's sharp red eyes swept across the scene, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his voice was cold and serious:
"The situation looks quite bad! They actually used that Forbidden Technique to summon us here. It's really ridiculous."
Seeing the two figures who he once regarded as his role models and beliefs, now standing in front of him in the bodies of the dead with desecrated dust, the anger and grief in Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest finally broke through the previous calmness.
He was furious, his eyes were as bright as fire, he locked eyes on Orochimaru, and let out a roar that shook Barrier:
"Orochimaru! You evil disciple! How dare you use such filthy Forbidden Technique to disturb the sleep of our ancestors and tarnish their glory! It seems that, as your Teacher, I must teach you this last lesson today!"
Orochimaru Facing this thunderous fury, he just let out a low and teasing sneer, and licked his lips with his long tongue:
"Are you still putting on airs like Teacher up to this point? It's really disgusting and stubborn. Forget it, you old guys, let's stop here!"
Before he finished speaking, his hands stretched out like ghosts, and two special Kunais with strange Curse Mark engraved on them accurately penetrated the backs of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
The incantation on Kunai instantly lit up with a dim light, spreading like poison. The last trace of their own look in the eyes of the two ancestors Hokage was completely annihilated, replaced by hollowness and absolute obedience, and they were completely transformed into combat puppets controlled by Forbidden Technique who only knew how to kill.
Orochimaru then winked at Naraka and Mahito. Naraka understood, took a step forward, with false respect on his charming face, and said with a smile:
"Haha, Master Hiruzen Sarutobi, don't say that we are five against one, bullying the few with more."
"After all, you are Hokage, who is known as the 'strongest in history'. This scene is nothing to you, right?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were still fixed on Orochimaru, as if he wanted to see through him completely.
Facing Naraka's ridicule, his voice was low but with undoubted power. "Are you bullying the few with more?"
The next moment, his hands quickly Hand Seals!
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four clouds of white smoke exploded, and four Hiruzen Sarutobi Shadow Clone, which were identical to the main body and had the same sharp eyes, suddenly appeared!
It was at this moment that Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly felt that the Dog Talisman from Land of Waves in his arms suddenly emitted a gentle but continuous flow of heat, and a majestic power that seemed to come from the origin of life poured into his limbs and bones continuously!
The signs of Chakra exhaustion and physical exhaustion that may have appeared due to advanced age and continuous fierce battles were instantly wiped away, replaced by a sense of abundance as if he had returned to his peak and had endless energy!
"This feeling, my Chakra and physical strength, seem to have no end." A flash of realization flashed in his heart, and his eyes became firmer.
The five Hiruzen Sarutobis simultaneously put into a solid fighting stance, with powerful Chakras swaying around them, as if forming a wall of Formlesss air.
Their eyes were like lightning, and they faced the five powerful enemies in front of them without fear: the controlled First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Orochimaru, Naraka, and Mahito!
"Come on!" the five Hiruzen Sarutobis shouted in unison, their voices converging into a majestic fighting spirit that reverberated loudly in the closed Barrier, "Let me see how powerful you Moryos who are desecrating the dead and causing trouble to the village are."
