Sarutobi-sensei?"
Orochimaru chuckled, then began forming hand seals.
However,
Before his jutsu could be released,
Sarutobi Hiruzen's attack arrived.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
An earthen dragon head emerged from the tiles, continuously firing chunks of earth at Orochimaru.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a large fire dragon.
The fire and earth style attacks merged.
Orochimaru shrieked, then vanished without a trace.
"Stop with the boring theatrics."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked outside, his heart growing more anxious.
Seeing that he had probed enough,
He didn't bother to continue testing.
"How impressive~"
Orochimaru emerged from the tiles.
"However, I've also been underestimated~
Do you think a Move of that caliber can kill me?"
"You're still the same, utterly unlikable."
Orochimaru smiled at the remark.
Then he looked at the chaotic scene below, feeling a surge of irritation.
"Let's both stop playing around.
This isn't a Ninjutsu class at the Ninja Academy."
"Indeed~"
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled at the words, then casually pulled off his Hokage hat and Hokage robe, tossing them aside.
Hidden beneath this attire
Was a Hokage battle suit.
Orochimaru also smiled at the sight, discarding his Wind Shadow robe.
Revealing his own clothes.
This time,
Neither of them spoke any more superfluous words.
Instead, they immediately began to fight.
Sarutobi Hiruzen threw several shuriken.
Then his hands quickly formed seals.
"Shuriken Clone Technique!"
The few shuriken instantly multiplied into a barrage, flying towards Orochimaru.
At this moment, Orochimaru's Ninjutsu hand seals were also complete.
"Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei!"
With his summoning, three coffins immediately burst out from beneath the tiles.
Blocking the shuriken attack for him.
However, the third coffin had barely surfaced before Sarutobi Hiruzen directly pushed it back down.
"Clang…"
As the coffin lid fell,
Two figures, extraordinarily familiar to Sarutobi Hiruzen, appeared.
"So how will you deal with this?
Sarutobi-sensei?
No…
Lord Third Hokage~"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two individuals, his body involuntarily stiffening.
"It's been a long time~
Monkey."
"It's you~
You've gotten old too~
Sarutobi~"
"I never thought we would meet again, you two brothers, under such circumstances.
I am truly regretful."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, "Prepare yourself.
Lord First Hokage!
Lord Second Hokage!"
…
"Has it begun?"
Bai Hao casually cleared out the invaders while keeping an eye on Sarutobi Hiruzen's situation.
Upon discovering that Orochimaru had used Edo Tensei, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was struggling more and more,
His brows furrowed.
"It seems Sarutobi Hiruzen truly has no trump cards left.
I must make my Move.
Otherwise, after he uses Reaper Death Seal, it will be too late."
Thinking this,
Bai Hao no longer hesitated.
He directly used a "Tathagata Palm" item from his System space.
…
At the same time,
Sarutobi Hiruzen was clutching a Staff transformed from Enma, panting heavily, as he faced the two individuals before him.
"No…
This won't do at all…
No matter how much I damage them, they can always recover.
There's no way to fight like this…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in despair at this moment.
Because he discovered that no matter how severe the injuries the First and Second Hokage sustained, they could recover in moments.
Moreover, their Chakra seemed to be infinite.
He, however, could not.
Feeling the dwindling Chakra within his body,
He finally made a decision.
"In that case, I can only use that jutsu…"
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen made his decision,
He suddenly sensed something and quickly looked up.
He saw a gigantic golden palm suddenly appear in the sky.
That palm was now slowly but surely descending towards them!
Moreover,
A terrifying and chilling pressure
Was growing stronger as the palm approached.
"What is that!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was bewildered.
Orochimaru also saw this scene.
And the shock and panic in his heart were even more intense than Sarutobi Hiruzen's.
Because…
He felt that this giant palm was coming for him!
Moreover,
He even had a feeling that no matter how he tried to dodge, he couldn't escape!
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this!?
It's so terrifying.
It gives me an incredibly strong sense of impending death!"
Orochimaru's pupils suddenly constricted.
He felt that this was the strongest Ninjutsu he had ever seen in his life!
"Who on earth is this!?
Whose Move is this!?
Could it be…"
Orochimaru suddenly remembered the Red Hair woman he had encountered not long ago.
And a piece of information he had gathered from Konoha Village—that the woman belonged to an organization, and its leader called himself the Holy Lord.
"Could it be…
Has that Holy Lord made his Move this time!?"
Chapter 28: Has Lord Orochimaru Died? [Fourth Update, Seeking Fresh Flowers and Collections]
"What is that!?"
"Such terrifying pressure!"
"I feel like if that palm strikes, Konoha Village will be blown away!"
"What level of powerhouse is emitting this!?"
"Could it be…
This is the strength of a Hokage!?
Is this Lord Third Hokage's Ninjutsu!?"
