Then Orochimaru lowered his voice toward the audience below. "Come out!"
In an instant, four people wearing purple rope belts sprang out and landed directly on the four corners of the roof.
"Four Violet Flames Formation!" The four rapidly formed hand seals and shouted in unison.
A purple curtain of light slowly rose, completely isolating this place from the outside world.
Orochimaru shook the grenade and said disdainfully, "Teacher, it's been so long. Let me give you a gift!"
Without a second thought, he pulled the pin! The grenade exploded in front of him, and a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky.
More than ten pounds of loose Surströmming came raining down from above.
Not a single piece was wasted as it covered Orochimaru from head to toe.
Orochimaru was utterly dumbfounded.
He had seen grenades before. There had never been a grenade that exploded the instant its pin was pulled.
Just as he was wondering about it, a refreshing fragrance drifted into his nostrils.
The light instantly vanished from his eyes. His head spun, and his stomach churned violently.
"What the hell is this?! Ah!" He roared in maddened fury, flinging all the canned fish from his body onto the ground.
"Boss, you fucking set me up! Ah!" he cried, hopping around in disgust.
The Third Hokage watched calmly for a moment, then rapidly formed hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!"
"Bang!"
A black-faced, white-furred ape immediately appeared before him.
"Enma, transform into the Adamantine Staff!"
"Roar!" Enma pounded his chest with both fists and transformed into an iron staff with golden ends and a dark black middle.
"Extend!"
At the Third Hokage's roar, the Adamantine Staff instantly shot outward.
It slammed directly into Orochimaru.
Orochimaru curled his lips. "Teacher, do you think a lousy stick can defeat me? What wishful thinking!"
He pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, pinched a Flash experience card in his other hand, and muttered, "Flash!"
"Whoosh!"
His figure vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Third Hokage.
"Teacher, thank you for raising me all these years. Now die!"
His scarlet eyes widened as he stabbed forward with all his strength.
But...
Only when his fist was about to touch the Third Hokage's body did he discover in shock that the kunai in his hand had inexplicably disappeared!
His gaze slowly shifted downward, and a flush immediately rose on his bluish-purple face.
"Where are my clothes?!"
He let out another despairing roar.
At that moment, he was completely naked. His bluish-purple skin accentuated his one hundred and eight snake-like abdominal muscles, giving him an utterly bewitching appearance.
He suddenly turned around and discovered that his clothes, along with the kunai, had all fallen where he had used Flash.
"Invincible Scratch-off, you fucking screwed me over again!"
Orochimaru screamed in despair and hurriedly retreated, wanting to go back and put on his clothes. But would the Third Hokage give him such an opportunity?
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A fireball one meter wide shot straight from his mouth, burning Orochimaru's clothes to ashes before he could reach them.
Orochimaru stood with his legs clamped together and his waist hunched, looking extremely awkward.
"Teacher, aren't you going a little too far?"
The Third Hokage picked at his ear. "Ah, I'm old. My aim isn't as good anymore."
"Actually, I was trying to blast you just now. Who knew I'd miss and burn your clothes instead?"
"How about this? Raise your hands and surrender right now, and I can have Danzo prepare a set of clothes for you!"
Orochimaru clenched his fists tightly. He had seen Danzo's character clearly just now.
Having him prepare clothes would be worse than death.
He formed a seal with both hands and said softly, "Don't think this is all I have. Let me show you a familiar ninjutsu!"
"Impure World Reincarnation!"
The Third Hokage was greatly alarmed.
This ninjutsu had been created by his teacher, Senju Tobirama. Because it required living people as sacrifices every time, it was exceedingly cruel and had ultimately been classified as a Forbidden Jutsu.
How did he know this ninjutsu?!
Yet that was not the only thing that shocked the Third Hokage.
After Orochimaru cast Impure World Reincarnation, the first two coffins to emerge bore the characters "First" and "Second."
He seemed to realize something terrible.
When the third coffin emerged, he quickly smashed it down with the Adamantine Staff, forcibly knocking it back underground.
Seeing this, Orochimaru did not continue summoning. He simply slapped the two coffins before him.
The coffin lids immediately fell open, and the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, stepped out one after the other.
The Third Hokage's ass clenched.
The First Hokage was known as the God of Shinobi. With his strength, the Third Hokage could not possibly shake him in the slightest, let alone now that there was also the Second Hokage.
As the coffins vanished, Orochimaru wore a ghostly smile and picked up two kunai covered in talismans from the ground, driving them into the backs of the First Hokage and Second Hokage.
The eyes of the two ninjas summoned back through Impure World Reincarnation instantly turned white, and a horrifyingly violent aura erupted from their bodies!
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!" The First Hokage clasped his hands together.
In an instant, a forest appeared across the entire rooftop.
The Konoha ninjas fighting below could not help but marvel, then began cursing Orochimaru loudly.
Only the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, could use Wood Style.
And in their hearts, the First Hokage was a figure comparable to a god.
Damn Orochimaru, using the First Hokage to destroy Konoha!
As for Orochimaru, the moment he saw the forest, a flower-like smile bloomed on his face. He hurriedly ran into it with his legs clamped together.
His current appearance was simply too indecent!
"Enma, keep an eye on Orochimaru!" the Third Hokage shouted.
The First Hokage and Second Hokage moved almost at the same time.
"Monkey, be careful!" the Second Hokage shouted as his body suddenly shot forward.
The First Hokage flanked him from the side at the same time.
Ever since Orochimaru had inserted the kunai into them, their movements had been completely controlled.
Even though their minds retained a trace of clarity, it was utterly useless.
The Third Hokage clenched his fists. With one tug, he tore apart his Hokage Robes, revealing the armor hidden underneath.
"Heaven and Earth Great Shift, First Form: Transfer!"
"Bang!"
All of the Second Hokage's attacks were redirected through the Third Hokage's body and unleashed upon the First Hokage.
A huge gash was carved across the First Hokage's chest!
His shattered body swayed continuously in the wind.
He looked at the Third Hokage in surprise and asked, "Monkey, what kind of ninjutsu is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
While dealing with the Second Hokage's assault, the Third Hokage smiled and replied.
"I got it from a newly opened shop in our ninja village."
"There, as long as you spend tens of thousands of taels in silver notes, there's a high chance of getting extremely overpowered ninjutsu."
The First Hokage chuckled, a trace of delight appearing on his face. He had been worried that the Third Hokage would not be able to withstand the combined attack of him and the Second Hokage.
But now, it seemed there should be no problem. "Then I'm relieved!"
He let out a long breath, looked at the wound on his body that had already healed, and said softly.
"Monkey, I've recovered. Be careful!"
The Third Hokage answered heavily.
From the few exchanges he had just had with the First Hokage and Second Hokage, these two were far from displaying the strength they had possessed at their peak.
If things continued like this, he might still have a chance of winning...
