The forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation had been created by Konoha's Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Yet it was quite ironic that this forbidden technique had been used to summon Tobirama Senju's corpse.
Corpses summoned through Impure World Reincarnation no longer had their past memories and had lost many of their techniques and abilities.
The corpses reanimated through Impure World Reincarnation retained only muscle memory, fighting on instinct.
As a result, their strength reached only around thirty percent of their original selves' at most.
It could be said that the summoned corpses were already worlds apart from their original selves.
Of course, some exceptionally gifted geniuses could retain a portion of their own consciousness even when revived through "Impure World Reincarnation."
They could even break free of the caster's control and become independent individuals.
However, the corpses of such geniuses were truly rare.
Hanzo of the Salamander was not particularly weak himself; he simply could not compare with those "heaven-defying" geniuses.
Thus, the Hanzo of the Salamander whom Orochimaru had reanimated through Impure World Reincarnation retained only thirty percent of his combat strength in life.
But thirty percent of a Kage-level fighter's combat strength was still extremely terrifying to ninja below Kage level.
At the very least, he could put up a fight against the elite team led by Kakashi Hatake.
With "assistance" from Manda and Aoda, he might even wipe out Kakashi Hatake's team.
Seeing all this, Ye Chen finally understood why Orochimaru had entered the Land of Grass's border with such confidence earlier.
It turned out he really did have an unbeatable hand!
Ye Chen had no doubt that Orochimaru still had other "devastating weapons" up his sleeve.
Facing an enemy like this gave Ye Chen quite a headache.
Having an enemy who was too clever was an ordeal
