" Naruto, get out of here! It's not safe."
After seeing Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have time to think about how he got in, but he didn't want the Jinchūriki to fall into Orochimaru's hands.
After all, Orochimaru is too insane; he really could destroy Konoha.
Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi's eagerness, Naruto's face remained calm, with a subtle hint of mockery.
Naruto was unaware that Hiruzen Sarutobi's urgency carried a hint of concern, but by this point, Naruto had long since lost patience for such trivial matters.
What he needs to do now is make this old man in front of him regret his actions.
Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's shocked gaze, Naruto slowly walked towards Orochimaru's location.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth gaped open, wanting to speak up and stop Naruto, but the uneasy speculation in his heart prevented him from uttering a sound. He could only shout in his mind:
Naruto, get away from there! Don't go near Orochimaru, he's a bad person.
Even after Naruto stood next to Orochimaru, he didn't hear Hiruzen Sarutobi say anything to stop him.
As Naruto strolled leisurely to his side, Orochimaru revealed a long-lost smile. He finally understood why Naruto hadn't stopped him after learning of his plan— Naruto wanted to take revenge himself.
Orochimaru gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a smug look. See? Your village's Jinchūriki walked over on his own. Don't blame me for that.
"You damned Orochimaru, when did you lie to Naruto?"
At this moment, Orochimaru Hiruzen Sarutobi like his lungs were about to explode with rage. He shouldn't have let Orochimaru go in the first place. However, the most important thing now was to ensure Naruto's safety, since he couldn't deal with the Nine-Tails inside Naruto in his current state.
Hiruzen Sarutobi adjusted his emotions, making himself appear less tense, and softened his tone, his voice carrying a barely perceptible pleading quality.
" Naruto, come here! Stay away from that guy, he's no good."
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi's almost pleading tone couldn't persuade Naruto to leave Orochimaru's side.
"You've arrived?"
"They've arrived."
I thought you wouldn't come.
"But I still came."
After their conversation ended, the two silently watched Hiruzen Sarutobi, observing the deliberately distorted expression on his face.
Watching Naruto and Orochimaru reminisce like long-lost friends, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed somewhat dazed. Did these two seem to have known each other for a long time?
The idea was immediately rejected by Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Impossible," he said. "He's been monitoring Naruto almost every day. Except when Naruto is in the Uchiha Clan Compound, there's no way he'd let someone Uchiha Clan Compound into that kind of place. "Orochimaru
But their familiarity was undeniable, so when exactly did they meet?
He never imagined that Naruto and Orochimaru had just met a few days ago, and that it hadn't even been long since their first meeting.
Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Hiruzen Sarutobi guard against Danzo for so long, but in the end, Orochimaru managed to steal his home. This Hiruzen Sarutobi so much that he almost vomited blood.
Even now, Hiruzen Sarutobi believes that Naruto's current state is entirely due to Orochimaru's deception, and he doesn't consider any other possibilities.
" Naruto, Grandpa knows you were forced. Please trust Grandpa this once. That guy next to you isn't a good person; he's awful. Stay away from him."
Naruto ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's words and stared at him speechlessly.
Are you really getting senile? Which eye of yours saw that I was forced?
Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi's words. He also knew that the reason Hiruzen Sarutobi being so humble was because he was the village's Jinchūriki. If Orochimaru were to obtain Jinchūriki, what would happen to Konoha? It was hard to predict.
Seeing that his advice was useless, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his attention to Orochimaru.
" Orochimaru, how could you do such a thing? This is Konoha, the place where you grew up, Orochimaru, how could you bear to destroy it?"
Orochimaru was understandably bewildered. "I just stood there and did nothing! What's with that accusatory tone?"
Fortunately, Orochimaru was already used to it. Danzo often did the same thing, assigning him inhumane experiments and then making him take the blame. By now, Orochimaru was so used to it that he was immune to the consequences.
"Alright, teacher, let's end our reminiscing here. I should see you off now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who wanted to say something more, choked for a moment.
But before he could even speak...
Orochimaru had already begun his operation.
" Naruto-kun, come and see this Ninjutsu of mine. Oh, right, there's someone I know who I think you might be interested in."
" Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation."
Two enormous coffins emerged, each bearing the characters "First" and "Second" respectively. A third coffin, marked "Four," was also halfway out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi. As a disciple of the Second Hokage, he naturally knew about this Ninjutsu. This third coffin absolutely could not be allowed to emerge.
He rapidly Hand Seals, his Chakra flowing out like water, before finally interrupting Orochimaru's continued summoning.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru was also having a tough time in his struggle against Hiruzen Sarutobi. He failed to summon the coffin with the number four engraved on it, and his face turned even paler, with sweat beading on his forehead.
"Sorry, Naruto-kun, it seems we'll have to wait until next time."
Naruto shrugged indifferently, showing no particular emotion, and simply stood quietly to the side watching the show.
The coffin lid opened, and two figures emerged from it.
One of them wore red armor from the Warring States period, while the other wore blue armor from the same period. Both had silver hair and were none other than the First Hokage and Second Hokage of Konoha, the Senju brothers, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
Hashirama stepped out of the coffin, looked around at his surroundings, and realized that he was actually in Konoha. He then glanced at the old man standing in front of him.
"Long time no see, Monkey, I didn't expect you to have gotten so old."
Tobirama also came out at this moment. He glanced at his hands, then at his brother, before greeting Hiruzen Sarutobi.
" Monkey, it seems the Konoha you're in charge of is in danger."
Orochimaru clapped his hands at this moment, calling a halt to the reminiscing.
"Alright, that's enough of the reminiscing. It's about time for the battle."
He then inserted two Kunai, each inscribed with a control spell, into the bodies of the two men.
"Junior, my Ninjutsu is not for using against my own people."
Tobirama narrowed his eyes; the warning was clearly unexpected, but Orochimaru remained defiant.
Naruto shook his head upon seeing this. Orochimaru's offerings were of poor quality, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique was incomplete. This meant that the two brothers, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were Impure World Reincarnation, might not even reach half of their former strength.
