Chapter 587: Enhanced First and Second Hokage!
Chapter 587: Enhanced First and Second Hokage!
"Melt Escape. Melt Spear Array!"
With Tang Ping's ascension to the Immortal Body, such techniques no longer required hand seals; a simple clap of his hands sufficed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Molten rock spears shot forth.
The terrifying high temperatures, coupled with the razor-sharp molten spears, directly covered the area where the White Eye Wolf stood.
However, none of these attacks yielded any results.
The opponent's entire body was 'dematerialized', making it impossible to land a hit.
It could only be said that the White Eye Wolf's Byakugan was truly formidable. As long as they didn't want to win, they wouldn't lose.
Unfortunately, Tang Ping didn't intend to win either, or else he truly could have emerged victorious.
Even without the assistance of Uchiha Yae, the natural counter to the opponent, he had other means to deal with them.
Yes!
Tang Ping had been studying the opponent's other Byakugan for so long, and with the acquisition of the Thunder God Technique, his understanding of spatial techniques had deepened significantly.
Although he was far from achieving teleportation or dematerialization, interfering with the opponent was not an issue at all.
For instance, he could currently use barriers to force the opponent out of their dematerialized state.
However, there was no need for such actions, so he played along with the opponent's act.
At the same time, if the opponent dared to use the Divine Might to suck him into space, they would first have to ensure their body could withstand his magma head-on.
Currently, Tang Ping's execution of Melt Escape was merely a thought; no hand seals were required, and even if he were restrained by the opponent, he could effortlessly repel them.
Power!
Tang Ping began to comprehend the terrifying level of the 'Ultra Shadow' tier.
And this was just a casual display; if he were to exert his full strength, he truly possessed the combat prowess to destroy heaven and earth.
If he were to activate the 'Blazing Sun Wings' as well, even if the Ninja God were to be resurrected, he would confidently engage the opponent head-on.
It could only be said that if Tang Ping weren't concerned about the Six Paths LYB, who was hiding in the Pure Land, and Kaguya, who was hanging on the moon, he would truly be able to dominate the ninja world without any rivals.
However, their side was all bark and no bite, while the battle on the other side was intensely fierce.
"Orochimaru!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi roared, using his transformation into the Monkey King's staff to suppress Orochimaru in close combat.
The Kusanagi Sword was indeed sharp beyond compare, but it couldn't sever the Monkey King's wish-granting staff, and with the Monkey King occasionally extending his arm, Orochimaru found himself at a disadvantage.
By the way, the mental injuries inflicted by the Monkey King, manipulated by Uchiha Fugaku, took several years to heal.
This was his first battle since his recovery.
"Teacher, I have prepared a surprise for you!"
Upon finding himself at a disadvantage in close combat, Orochimaru immediately created distance.
Yes, he had never expected to win in close combat against his teacher, even as his teacher's taijutsu declined with age.
After all, Orochimaru himself wasn't specialized in taijutsu.
"Hmph, no matter what schemes you have, I will crush them. I will never allow you to threaten the village!"
Hiruzen's tone was resolute.
For the village, he was willing to make sacrifices, even if it meant killing his own disciple with his own hands.
Currently, Konoha was in disarray, and the extent of the damage was unknown. All of this was the result of his initial softness, so he felt the need to make amends and atone.
"Teacher, confidence is a good thing, but some matters aren't as simple as having confidence."
Orochimaru spoke with a double meaning as he performed hand seals.
Indeed, Hiruzen Sarutobi was brimming with confidence in governing Konoha.
However, since he took the position of Hokage, the leadership of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had become increasingly precarious, and various problems were mounting.
Even with all the confidence in the world, the concept of 'power' wasn't something that could be achieved solely through confidence.
"Ninjutsu: Summoning of the Dead!"
After completing the hand seals, Orochimaru clapped his hands on the ground.
A coffin emerged from the roof in front of him, with the character 'First' engraved on it.
"That is..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
He was well aware of the 'Summoning of the Dead' technique.
After all, it was a forbidden technique researched by his teacher, but he never expected Orochimaru to be able to learn it.
At this moment, a second coffin emerged, with the character 'Second' engraved on it.
And a third coffin, with the character 'Fourth' engraved on it, also appeared halfway.
"I must stop him from completing this summoning!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed hand seals.
Although he hadn't mastered the Summoning of the Dead technique, disrupting it was no issue.
A loud crack echoed as the coffin seemed to be dragged back into the ground.
"It seems this attempt has failed?" Orochimaru spoke without emotion, seemingly unbothered by the outcome.
The two upright coffins suddenly slammed their lids shut.
Bang! Bang!
Revealing two corpses within.
One corpse had long black hair, clad in a black bodysuit with red layered armor.
The other, silver-haired with red eyes, bore three red marks on their cheeks and wore blue layered armor with white feathered shoulder pads extending to their back.
Despite the differences in appearance, their identities were instantly recognizable.
Senju Hashirama!
Senju Tobirama!
Also known as the First and Second Hokages of Konoha.
Hiss! A thick white mist emerged from the two emaciated corpses, inflating them to resemble their living forms.
However, the cracks on their faces remained, confirming their deceased state.
"What is happening here...?" Hashirama surveyed his surroundings, deep in thought.
Tobirama, on the other hand, calmly assessed the situation, his expression turning murderous upon spotting the distant Konoha Village.
"Monkey!" he called out to Hiruzen, "What has happened to the village?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Hiruzen's heart filled with emotion, but he quickly responded, "Master, it's my disciple, Orochimaru, and the Sand Ninja, they have a plan to destroy Konoha!"
As he revealed that the incident was orchestrated by his disciple and the Sand Ninja, he noticed the displeasure on his master's face.
In other words, the incident originated from internal strife within the Hokage lineage.
Embarrassing!
Too embarrassing!
Tobirama was livid.
"Monkey, I entrusted Konoha to you..." Tobirama was about to reprimand Hiruzen when Hashirama interrupted.
"Tobirama, we are dead. These are matters for the living!" As the God of Shinobi, Hashirama's heart was broad, and he could let go of such matters.
"Brother!"
Tobirama did not share this sentiment.
Even in death, he continued to fight for Konoha.
Unfortunately, their conversation was interrupted.
"Ahem!" Tang Ping coughed twice, interrupting the 'family drama' below. "Please, we're all in a hurry. Can we stop chatting and get on with it? The sooner we finish, the better!"
It was hard not to comment on such a scene.
Although it was a battlefield, the conversation between Orochimaru and Hiruzen seemed like a genjutsu, with both parties chatting away, which was somewhat comical.
Of course, Tang Ping understood that this was due to their special status; if it were anyone else, would Hiruzen and Orochimaru have received such respect?
However, while Tang Ping was commenting, he was cursing inwardly.
He could sense the terrifying power of the two.
In his opinion, their strength was far beyond what was depicted in the original storyline.
At least Kage-level! If not stronger, and he even felt a hint of threat.
With such power, in the original storyline, Hiruzen would never have been able to achieve the 'God-like First Strike.' Nor would he have struck down the First and Second Hokages, solidifying his reputation as the 'Greatest Hokage.'
So, what had changed from the original storyline? It was the White Eye Wolf! This was the biggest change, and so the strength of the First and Second Hokages must be related.
Naturally, they wouldn't have provided an improved Summoning of the Dead. There was only one possibility.
Materials!
They had provided the necessary materials for the Summoning of the Dead.
The materials they provided were the reason for the significant change in the strength of the summoned individuals.
