"Let's skip the reminiscing, Teacher Sarutobi. Just enjoy the opportunity to spar with the former Hokage."
Orochimaru grinned and extended his long tongue, deftly wrapping it around two Kunai wrapped with red sealing symbols, placing them inside the bodies of the First and Second.
As a thick plume of white smoke rose, the final step of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu was completed. The charred skin of the First and Second Hokage slowly turned rosy, almost indistinguishable from that of living people, and at the same time, Orochimaru, completely mastered the technique.
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju took turns providing cover as they advanced, closing the distance to the optimal attack range while Hiruzen Sarutobi momentarily distracted.
" Lord Hokage, watch out!"
The Anbu Ninja outside the barrier shouted a warning, Hiruzen Sarutobi's wandering thoughts back to his body, but it was too late.
Tobirama Senju punched Hiruzen Sarutobi in the abdomen, forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi bend his aged back to absorb the impact.
"Young master, your Taijutsu is indeed formidable," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, but his hands remained impeccably focused.
Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed Tobirama Senju's arms with both hands and delivered a beautiful side kick to Tobirama Senju's forehead, but the result of this attack was only a few scattered, paper-like 'scraps'.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank. This was the most difficult aspect of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to break: immortality!
Furthermore, since Impure World Reincarnation ninjas do not experience fatigue or pain, and even have unlimited Chakra, the Impure World Reincarnation is undoubtedly the most dangerous of all the forbidden techniques in Konoha.
There is only one way to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation – Sealing Jutsu. The Impure World Reincarnation ninja, who has lost the ability to resist, is sealed, and then the caster releases the Impure World Reincarnation, allowing the soul of the dead to return to the World of the Dead.
But each step was incredibly difficult. Hiruzen Sarutobi never believed he could defeat the First and Second, even though their strength was not yet complete.
That's a force powerful enough to suppress an entire era...
As Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered his strategy, Hashirama Senju unleashed a powerful kick that forced Hiruzen Sarutobi release his grip, allowing Orochimaru to regain control of the battle.
Amidst the swirling dust, a scorching fireball broke through numerous obstacles and appeared before Orochimaru.
" Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet "
Fighting the First and Second is pointless. The Impure World Impure World Reincarnation technique grants immortality, and Orochimaru won't give him a chance to seal it. It's better to eliminate Orochimaru, the caster, as soon as possible!
There will be plenty of time to seal the First and Second.
But Orochimaru seemed to have anticipated this. The Second Hokage's clone emerged from Orochimaru's side, a clone almost identical to the original, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips to twitch unnaturally...
The Shadow Clone Technique Chakra Ninjutsu, but its effect is quite remarkable. As long as the user is not harmed, it is no different from the original body.
This was the scene Hiruzen Sarutobi least wanted to see; his Chakra was no match for that of the Impure World Reincarnation, especially with his current aged body...
" Water Release · Water Formation Wall."
Tobirama Senju's Water Release instantly suppressed Hiruzen Sarutobi's Fire Style, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi even with the elemental advantage.
Unexpectedly, after all these years, his Fire Style still couldn't defeat his master's Water Release...
" Water Release · Water Shockwave."
Here it comes... Having witnessed his master's Water Release once again, Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not be careless in the slightest. The idea of using Taijutsu to dodge and conserve Chakra was long gone from his mind.
" Earth Release · Earth Style Wall."
Compared to Kakashi's Earth Style Wall, which he would carve even a dog's head for when he was short on mana, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Earth Style Wall undoubtedly focuses more on practicality. The rock-colored Earth Style Wall gives Hiruzen Sarutobi a strong sense of security.
Despite the impact of the Water Shockwave, the Earth Style Wall remained reliably stable, showing no signs of shaking.
Hiruzen Sarutobi onto the Earth Style Wall to observe Orochimaru's movements, only to see Hashirama Senju gliding through the water, steadily approaching him.
This scene made Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart tremble. You must know that the source of Princess Tsunade's Superhuman Strength Taijutsu that allowed her to dominate the Shinobi World was none other than the First Hokage!
" Fire Style: Phoenix Flower: Claw Crimson."
One after another, tiny fireballs of extreme heat hurtled towards Hashirama Senju, but in his hands, these fireballs, with their scorching heat, were like insignificant little flames, easily extinguished with a Hashirama Senju.
Using the effect of Tobirama Senju's Water Shockwave, Hashirama Senju successfully approached Hiruzen Sarutobi and kicked him from mid-air, who had no time to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In the heat of the moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only raise his arms to block, but Hashirama Senju's Superhuman Strength strength was slightly weaker than expected; at least it didn't break his arm outright...
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's arms still emitted mournful cries of unbearable strain, and even faint cracking sounds of bones could be heard. This was clearly not good news for Hiruzen Sarutobi. In close -Taijutsu combat, his arms had been kicked until they lost sensation, and his fate was predictable.
Hashirama Senju alternated his punches, each one striking Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face, causing his aged body to sway from side to side and spin around. Hashirama Senju clenched his left fist and placed it at his waist, beginning to gather his strength!
Already somewhat unconscious, Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly unable to perform a difficult maneuver like 'sword slashing'. When the Hiruzen Sarutobi on his old face, half of his face was deformed, his features twisted together. Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi's teeth were still quite strong, otherwise he might have lost half of his teeth...
Mei Terumi was watching from the sidelines, stopped the Ninjutsu she was about to unleash, thus halting her actions that could backfire.
The internal strife in Konoha was so spectacular that even Mei Terumi was in awe. The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Third Hokage's disciple all ganged up on the current Third Hokage. Such a spectacle was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
If we add the Fourth Hokage, then all the Hokage of Konoha will be represented, creating a perfect internal Hokage within Konoha.
The only imperfection is that she was also trapped inside the barrier!
In her opinion, the Third Hokage was beyond saving and was doomed to die! If she didn't want to follow in the Third Hokage's footsteps, she would better break through this Sealing Jutsu as soon as possible.
Outside the barrier, Orochimaru Naoki Senju finally softened his heart. The Impure World Reincarnation the First and Second was still Orochimaru's work from several years ago, not the latest Impure World Reincarnation at all.
How much power could such Impure World Reincarnation possess? Remember, the Third Kazekage's Impure World Reincarnation was more complete than this one. However, too much completion might not be a good thing for Orochimaru...
There's also a high chance that Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju will break free of their restraints and then pin them down for a good rub.
