I've finished writing with the pen reversed (°°)
Tanzaku Town
Orochimaru looked down at Tsunade and the other two, saying, "Heh, these subordinates of mine are usually arrogant and haughty. I can't teach them a lesson. You guys can help me teach them a lesson."
Tsunade: "Hmph, Orochimaru, the first thing I'll do upon returning to Konoha is to wipe out your Otogakure."
"Heh, the Otogakure is nothing more than a farm I use for research."
Jiraiya: "These people are strange. One of the Sound Ninja we captured earlier was also very strong. Tsunade, don't make any rash moves."
Orochimaru: "Alright, the opponent is the Fifth Hokage. You three, just go straight to your Stage Two."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
The Sound Ninja trio voluntarily released their Cursed Seal, entering Curse Mark Stage Two state.
Jirobo's skin darkened, his hair grew much longer, and pimples and bulging veins appeared on his face. He wore matching black gauntlets on his arms. "I am Jirobo of the South Gate of the Sound Ninja. In my second Cursed Seal state, my power is ten times my normal strength!"
Jirobo plunges his hands into the ground. " Earth Release: Earth Mound Dumplings!"
Taiseki, as tall as a three-story building, was lifted, casting a shadow over Tsunade and the others.
Jiraiya: "Hey, hey, hey, this is way too much!"
Tsunade: "You mere Sound Ninja, don't try to show off in front of me!"
"Call out!"
A sharp glint suddenly appeared in Tsunade's eyes. "So fast!"
In a moment of desperation, the first arrow, carrying a fierce wind, whistled past his ear. From among the scattered rocks, Kidomaru, already in the Curse Mark Stage Two, was seen drawing his golden bow, about to fire the second arrow.
Kidomaru's skin turned black, each of his six arms sprouted a horn, his hair turned white and stood on end, and his third eye on his forehead opened. "I am Kidomaru of the East Gate."
Sakon and Ukon also entered Cursed Seal Stage Two at this moment. The two of them woke up at the same time and rushed towards Tsunade with strange laughter.
Tsunade is a flower that blooms in war; the trio is naturally no match for her.
At that moment, Shizune moved, leaping high into the air. "Ninja Art: Poison Mist Explosion!"
He rapidly spewed out a large amount of dense purple poisonous mist from his mouth, covering a wide area and enveloping everyone, including Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: "Heh, this level of skill can't harm us."
Jiraiya looked at the dense poisonous fog. "Good job, Shizune -chan! Okay, Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"
"Boom!"
A massive fireball plunged into the poisonous fog, which appeared to be extremely flammable; the fireball exploded upon impact.
As the flames subsided, the Chakra Armor on the three Sound Ninja members formed an invisible Chakra shield, keeping the flames at bay.
Tsunade jumped back to Jiraiya's side. " Jiraiya, did you figure it out?"
It turns out that Tsunade and Shizune's attack was just a feint, intended to allow Jiraiya to analyze their opponents' abilities.
Jiraiya: "Yes, the changes they've undergone are the same as those I experienced in the Sage Village back then. I sensed Sage Energy emanating from them; their strength Chakra, and defensive capabilities have all increased significantly."
Shizune also noticed something. "Their equipment can defend against Ninjutsu attacks, and my poison mist was specially made these past few days. Only I know the antidote's formula, so it can't possibly be ineffective."
Tsunade: "They're just children and their toys. For a ninja, the most important thing is their own strength."
Jiraiya: "Ah, it's nothing serious. Orochimaru, all your fancy tricks are useless."
Kidomaru shot out a golden arrow, aiming directly at the weakest target, Shizune.
Jiraiya's long white hair twitched, sweeping the golden arrow away.
"Honestly, Orochimaru's subordinates are just as clueless about romance as Orochimaru. You can't be so rude to ladies. Well then... I'll deal with you."
Jiraiya took off his wooden clogs and half-prostrated himself on the ground. "To deal with you, I wouldn't even need the strength of a cup of sake."
Orochimaru: " Jiraiya is enraged! You'd better watch out!"
"Boom!" Jiraiya pushed off with his feet, cracking the ground as his body shot out like a cannonball, his target being the three Sound Ninja.
"So fast!"
" Earth Release..."
Even in their Stage Two, the three Sound Ninja couldn't catch Jiraiya's movements. By the time they realized what was happening, their entire bodies were already wrapped in long white hair, each strand as tough as steel wire.
"Ninja Art: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
The long white hair swiftly broke through the Chakra Armor's defenses, completely controlling the three people's hands and feet.
"Crack, crack, crack!" The Chakra Armor on the three of them trembled violently as if overloaded.
Damn it!
"Oh! This Chakra Armor is really good; it can even defend against my techniques to some extent."
The Wild Lion's Mane Technique was incredibly powerful; normally, the three would have been torn to pieces, but even so, the three Sound Ninja were completely unable to break free.
Under Jiraiya's control, the three moved closer to the center. " Lord Orochimaru! Help!"
Jiraiya: "Too late! Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Roar!"
An extremely compressed flame split into three in front of Jiraiya, engulfing the three of them. The flames even emitted a dragon's roar.
Orochimaru bit his fingers, Summoning Technique: "What a bunch of useless trash! Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon!"
"Thump!"
Rashomon rose between Jiraiya and the three Sound Ninja, blocking the flames. However, under Jiraiya's Fire Style, even with the protection of their Chakra Armor, the three Sound Ninja could not withstand the Kage Level Fire Style. In an instant, they were all severely burned. Except for Kidomaru, who used the Sticky Gold Armor for defense and suffered minor injuries, Sakon and Ukon, and Jirobo all lost consciousness.
Orochimaru flew over to check on the injuries of the three.
" Jiraiya may be stupid, but his strength shouldn't be underestimated. There's no way around it; you've already lost your value."
Jiraiya and Tsunade were unaware of what had happened after Rashomon, and they did not launch an attack rashly.
Kabuto seemed to know what Orochimaru was about to do. He jumped to Orochimaru's side, took out two scrolls, unrolled them, and placed them in front of Jirobo and Sakon and Ukon: "Now, you will give your lives for Lord Orochimaru!"
" Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation."
"Ah!!"
Jirobo and Sakon and Ukon, who were originally in a coma, began to struggle painfully.
After hearing the screams, Jiraiya and the other two exchanged a glance.
"What Ninjutsu is Orochimaru going to use this time?! We have to stop him!"
Just as the three were preparing to launch their attack, Rashomon vanished in the form of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Orochimaru had already completed the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, and two people were standing in front of him.
When Tsunade and Shizune, who were poised to attack, saw one of them, they were startled.
"You... you are... Duan!"
"Uncle Duan!"
Jiraiya: " Orochimaru, how dare you toy with the souls of the dead!"
He was Tsunade's former lover, Dan Katō, who was also Shizune's uncle.
Dan Katō regained consciousness and was quite surprised to see Tsunade in front of him.
" Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune! Are you all dead...? No, this is... Impure World Reincarnation! Who cast this spell?"
Orochimaru chuckled, " Tsunade, I told you I could revive him, do you believe me now?"
Dan Katō had only regained consciousness and was unable to control his body. Upon hearing the voice behind him, he knew who it was.
"Is that Orochimaru's voice?!"
Tsunade had lost all will to fight. She had once become strong because of this man, and she had also become depressed because of him, numbing herself with gambling and alcohol every day.
" Tsunade, you haven't changed at all! Shizune, you've grown up too! Jiraiya, how come you've aged so much?"
Standing beside Dan was the Third Raikage had already Impure World Reincarnation once using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Jiraiya: "That decoration, the tattoo on the shoulder, is it the Raikage of Kumogakure?"
Third Raikage: "(皿) How come I've been summoned again! So your name is Orochimaru, you bastard!"
