Feeling the overwhelming threat of death, White Zetsu had no choice but to use Spore Technique!
This jutsu turned it into spores scattered into the air—so long as one spore survived, it could come back again.
Boom!
With a single sword strike, the entire rooftop was split open.
And this was with Uchiha Sogetsu deliberately controlling his power—otherwise, one slash could have shattered all of Konoha.
"Trying to run?"
Uchiha Sogetsu sneered coldly. His left eye rapidly shifted.
"Amaterasu!"
Boom!
A towering wall of black flames instantly engulfed the entire rooftop.
The spores that had just scattered didn't even have time to touch the ground before being burned away in an instant.
White Zetsu was also caught by the 'Amaterasu' flames. The unquenchable black fire tormented it painfully, forcing it to scream in agony as it writhed wildly on the ground.
Though Amaterasu was powerful, it had one flaw.
It could never actually kill.
White Zetsu writhed and from its mouth crawled a new White Zetsu, escaping the black flames of Amaterasu.
But before it could catch its breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mu broke free from mental suppression and charged in again.
"Try to kill me again!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were bloodshot with fierce determination. Four shadow clones appeared, quickly surrounding White Zetsu.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Bullet!"
"Wind Release: Wind Dragon Bullet!"
The five elemental chakra natures blended together, their combined power rising exponentially!
A devastating storm swept across the fragile roof tiles. The fierce wind was pushed aside by the force of the explosion, and a scorching, rolling heat wave surged forward.
White Zetsu screamed endlessly. In just a few seconds, it had been driven into a desperate corner.
At this moment, it deeply regretted not decisively stopping it when the first coffin appeared.
"Let me end this!"
With unmatched focus, hands clasped together, a pure white cubic barrier manifested, radiating a strong aura of destruction.
"No, no, I can't die!"
White Zetsu stared in horror at the pure white barrier. It knew that if it was hit, death was certain.
But just as it tried to struggle, Uchiha Sogetsu's sword pierced through it in one swift strike!
Boom!
The enormous blade, dozens of meters long, pierced White Zetsu straight through, shattering the entire building.
"Ah—!"
A piercing scream echoed, White Zetsu writhing in agony.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Mu suddenly pushed forward.
The pure white cubic barrier floated toward White Zetsu, and before its terrified eyes, it erupted into an unparalleled dazzling white light.
Boom!
Where the Dust Release engulfed, a perfect square-shaped indentation appeared.
Both tangible and intangible matter vanished instantly, utterly annihilated, reduced to their most fundamental atoms!
"Phew, finally resolved."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gazed at the empty space, relief washing over his face.
Orochimaru's expression brightened as well.
After all, being able to so easily eliminate the threat of the Twilight Hermit Order was undoubtedly the best outcome.
But, in the next second—
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mu suddenly exploded into dust, scattering like paper.
Uchiha Sogetsu reacted swiftly, and at the same moment, summoned his Susanoo again.
Boom!
The Susanoo's powerful defense was pierced through directly.
One of Uchiha Sogetsu's arms turned to ash and fell beside Orochimaru.
He spoke in a deep voice, "No, it's not over yet!"
Just then, two figures suddenly appeared, like ghosts or phantoms.
The moment Orochimaru and Onoki saw them, their pupils shrank sharply, faces filled with terror.
"It's the Aurora Order!"
That's right, the sudden arrivals on the battlefield were Uchiha Itachi of the Aurora Order and Mr. A.
Originally, they thought White Zetsu had been eliminated by Dust Release, but instead, Mr. A had saved him.
White Zetsu was being carried like a dead dog, looking terrified.
Even White Zetsu didn't expect to be rescued by the Aurora Order.
"Hello, long time no see."
Mr. A smiled and raised his hand in greeting.
"Over these ten-plus years, I have to thank you all.
If you hadn't secretly provided information, those three bastards wouldn't have found us so easily, right? Members of the Twilight Hermit Order!"
Damn it! Why are the Aurora Order members here?!
Orochimaru's face turned deathly pale, silently cursing in his heart.
Hadn't these people disappeared without a trace?
Why did they have to show up at such a critical moment?
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
Orochimaru's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth.
"Besides, don't forget, when we wiped out the Aurora Order, that guy was working hard behind the scenes."
"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding!"
White Zetsu's face twisted wildly as he immediately explained.
"I never targeted you. It was the Twilight Hermit Order forcing me to do it!"
"Shut up."
Uchiha Itachi glanced coldly at him.
"If you say another word, I'll pull out your soul and use it as a puppet."
Upon hearing this, White Zetsu immediately shut its mouth, its eyes filled with terror.
It knew very well how terrifying these followers of the "True Creator" faith could become when they went mad.
Orochimaru spoke through clenched teeth, trying to suppress his anger as he suggested to the two, "You should all understand, it is our common enemy."
"If we let it live, once it advances, all of us will be in great danger. It's better to kill it now."
"Hmm, that's a pretty good suggestion."
Mr. A tilted his head and grinned, "But unfortunately, I refuse. No reason — as long as it annoys the Twilight Hermit Order, I'm more than happy to do it."
"???"
Orochimaru finally lost his patience and shouted angrily, "Are you damn crazy or what?!"
Mr. A looked completely serious and replied, "Yeah, how did you know?"
That one sentence left Orochimaru speechless, his face flushing purple with anger. Then, with fierce determination, he said, "Fine. Since you insist on sparing it, no more nonsense!"
He then turned to Onoki and ordered, "Call someone!"
