Orochimaru's movements were very swift.
Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer hesitated, summoning Enma to transform into a staff and grasping it in his hand.
"Itachi, Orochimaru's target is you. I will hold off the three of them for you; the rest you'll have to handle yourself!"
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi said he would hold off three people, he had already made up his mind to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal if things became unmanageable.
As long as Itachi could provide some support from the side, Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident he could seal all four of them.
"You two Konoha brats, how about we cooperate?"
Kakuzu, who had returned, suddenly proposed cooperation to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi.
Kakuzu, who had once been completely terrified by a single Wood Release clone from Hashirama, now, facing the current situation, proactively sought an alliance against the enemy.
Immortal Kakuzu, huh?
As a well-known bounty Ninja in the black market, Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly knew some basic information about Kakuzu. He didn't pay much attention to Kakuzu calling him a brat, and instead began to ponder.
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could reply, Hidan, seeing Kakuzu's return, shouted loudly.
"Kakuzu, you're back! I just heard them discussing, and it seems one of them is your former defeated opponent, Konoha's First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!"
The boast he had made was about to be exposed on the spot. Even with his mask on, a hint of impatience could be seen on Kakuzu's face.
"Hidan, shut up, when did I..."
"Alright! We can cooperate. First Hokage-sama is all yours!"
Before Kakuzu could finish his sentence, Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him, throwing the most troublesome Hashirama to Kakuzu.
What the f***!
Kakuzu had only suggested cooperation because he didn't want to face Hashirama. What was all this?
He definitely had to find an opportunity to sew Hidan's mouth shut!
"Itachi, I am more familiar with my teacher's fighting style, so I'll handle my teacher. You go deal with Orochimaru!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly assigned enemies, then met Senju Tobirama in battle.
He couldn't wait for Kakuzu to refuse; Orochimaru wouldn't wait for them to discuss tactics before making his move.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
As a showman, his fighting style naturally involved heating up the stage at the start, whether it was useful or not.
Countless lush trees shot up from the ground, instantly transforming the Battlefield into a dense forest.
Its lethality, of course, was zero.
Several Ninja dodged left and right, avoiding the suddenly emerging trees.
After dodging, everyone's mood was not pleasant. Unlike ordinary trees that absorb carbon dioxide, Senju Hashirama's Deep Forest Emergence absorbed Chakra.
Everyone present, except for Orochimaru who was intentionally controlling it, was slowly losing Chakra.
The other two Impure World bodies were no exception, but due to their special nature, the lost Chakra was quickly replenished.
"Why is my Chakra constantly draining!?"
The inexperienced Hidan yelled, while the other three ignored him.
This was Wood Release, the power that once ended the era of chaos!
At this moment, Senju Hashirama stood atop a thick tree trunk, looking down at everyone with his hollow eyes.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was already entangled in battle with Senju Tobirama.
Senju Hashirama, who had originally lost all his coolness, surged in coolness with a single Deep Forest Emergence, becoming the most dazzling person on the scene.
Hidan looked at the scythe in his hand and the endless trees surrounding him.
"Kakuzu, the guy playing with wood is all yours. After all, he was once your defeated opponent!"
Even Hidan, as foolish as he was, had more or less caught on. He never expected the usually serious Kakuzu to lie?
With this boundless forest, Hidan felt he couldn't cut it all down even if he collapsed from exhaustion, and he had no intention of fighting Senju Hashirama.
Following Hiruzen Sarutobi's instructions, Itachi went to confront Orochimaru. Orochimaru was equally eager for this.
Just as the two were about to make their move, a whooshing sound came again.
Hidan's chosen target was Orochimaru. Although he didn't understand much of the previous conversation, he at least understood that everyone else besides Orochimaru was dead.
Dead people were not qualified to be sacrificed to Lord Jashin!
Hidan wasn't smart, but he always stayed true to his original intention.
As for Itachi, he was coincidentally in the line of attack, so taking him out along the way would be even better, as he was also a living person.
Itachi and Orochimaru dodged the attack with a slight jump.
Before Itachi could land, he was attacked again by a whip kick, which was the Fourth Raikage A, controlled by Orochimaru.
If Orochimaru hadn't been eyeing Itachi's body, this attack wouldn't have been as simple as a whip kick.
The initially chaotic battle had now gradually become clear. Everyone had assigned their opponents, and the 4v4 battle began.
