Chapter 588: The Hokage Civil War!
Chapter 588: The Hokage Civil War!
Hakudatsu!
The two characters flashed across Tang Ping's mind.
Only this could explain the terrifying surge in power of the First and Second Hokage.
And all of this was due to the fluttering of his butterfly wings.
If the White Eye Wolf hadn't interfered, there was no way Orochimaru could have obtained this item.
However, Tang Ping was more concerned about something else.
Did they give Hakudatsu to Orochimaru for research?
If so, the situation could easily spiral out of control.
Despite Hakudatsu's seemingly mediocre strength, it was a product of the Outer Path Statue...the God Tree, from which countless discoveries could be made.
For instance, Orochimaru's Reanimation Without Corpse technique; if it were applied to Hakudatsu, not only would there be no side effects, but it could significantly enhance his power, and even acquiring the Wood Style might not be impossible.
With Hakudatsu as a resource, one could only imagine the countless forbidden techniques Orochimaru could create.
So...should he take this opportunity to send Orochimaru to his death?
In the end, Tang Ping dismissed the thought.
The current Orochimaru was under the influence of the Rinnegan and the Heavenly Curse Seal, an 'ally' of sorts. No matter how dangerous, he had already completed the research.
But if he were to die and be resurrected, it was uncertain if he would still be affected by the Rinnegan and the Heavenly Curse Seal, so this plan had to be abandoned.
"Whose presence is this...who are you?" Senju Hashirama asked, addressing Tang Ping.
This surprised Senju Tobirama, as he knew his brother's temperament, and from the tone of his voice, he could tell that the man in the bone mask and cloak was no ordinary foe.
"I am from the Shell Organization, a member of this group dedicated to love and justice. I'm here to deal with the imposter who has been using our organization's identity. Your family matters are none of my concern!" Tang Ping spread his hands, completely ignoring the White Eye Wolf.
With the opponent in a Demonic State, there was little Tang Ping could do without revealing his Sealing Technique level.
However, if the opponent were to attack him, it would be incredibly easy to counter, as if he had set a trap for them.
But the White Eye Wolf, Obito, was not one to be underestimated.
In their brief exchange, he had already understood Tang Ping's tenacity, so he had no intention of attacking and maintained a safe distance.
After all, his target was Konoha, not the Shell Organization, and holding them off was enough. In case of danger, he could simply turn and flee.
"Hokage-sama, your chat is over!" Orochimaru approached, holding two kunai with seals attached.
Clearly, he felt they couldn't afford to delay any longer.
The situation in Konoha was becoming increasingly chaotic, contrary to his plans.
In his plan, the Sand Ninja's attack would cause some confusion but not much damage.
But now, flames and black smoke engulfed most of Konoha.
And the destruction caused by the Sand Ninja was spreading.
Even Jiraiya was held back by Leaf Warehouse, and under the blaze of the Blaze Path, several areas were flattened, causing immense destruction.
Indeed, the greatest damage to Konoha was the work of Leaf Warehouse.
As a Sand Ninja, destroying Konoha was her dream.
Even though she had transformed into Tang Ping, or rather, the shape of Tenkudo, her animosity towards Konoha remained.
So, in battle, she unleashed her full power.
With her current strength, a single move could cause massive destruction.
Jiraiya could easily dodge, but he couldn't prevent the surrounding buildings from being damaged.
It was only through continuous summoning of various toads that he could hold his own against Leaf Warehouse, or else she might have achieved the 'Komi' achievement.
Watching Leaf Warehouse's performance, the disguised Hyuga Tsukimi, pretending to be Tang Ping, was captivated.
She dreamed of achieving 'Komi' in Konoha.
But Tang Ping didn't want the Six Paths to intervene just yet.
So allowing the 'Sand Ninja' Leaf Warehouse to fight was acceptable.
But letting Tenkudo's Hyuga Tsukimi join the battle was out of the question!
Orochimaru, eager to end the battle, quickened his pace, though he wouldn't normally be so rushed.
He also wanted to see the effects of the 'sacrifice' given by his opponent on the Impure World Reincarnation.
Those few white corpses, Orochimaru was extremely cautious.
Unfortunately, the other party was too vigilant, only allowing him to use it for the Reincarnation of the Impure World, giving him no chance to obtain any "ingredients."
Now, it was time to see what improvements there would be after changing the sacrificial materials, as the other party had claimed.
Before the talisman-sealed kunai were inserted into their skulls, Tang Ping noticed something peculiar.
It was control!
If Orochimaru had been just a little slower, he might have lost control.
As the creator of this forbidden technique, no one understood it better than Senju Tobirama.
Although he had made many improvements, it was still within the framework he had created, so he had been trying to break free from it.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru interrupted him.
Thinking about it, his constant questioning earlier, which was out of character for his usually calm persona, was likely a ploy to buy time.
"Second Hokage, you're truly formidable!"
Orochimaru looked at the other party's emotionless eyes and had this thought.
He had almost lost control.
Fortunately, while researching this forbidden technique, he had discovered its weakness.
Control! If he couldn't control the impure world ninjas, it would be troublesome.
That's why he specifically studied control talismans.
Although it would reduce the impure world ninja's intelligence and affect their combat strength, it was still better than losing control or being backstabbed.
"Seal!"
Orochimaru formed a seal.
He completely erased the First and Second Hokage's intelligence, turning them into combat tools.
Next, it was time for a "Hokage Battle."
And Tang Ping could enjoy this proof of the "Strongest Hokage Blabber."
The battle didn't last long.
"Amazing, amazing!"
Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen being surrounded and beaten by the two Hokage, his face deformed from the blows, Tang Ping stood on the highest roof ridge, full of admiration.
What a scene!
Unfortunately, his current persona wasn't suitable for carrying a camera, otherwise, he could have taken pictures of the other party being beaten, and later, watch them lose face when they boasted about being the "Strongest Hokage."
In the past, they boasted because neither the First nor the Second Hokage could refute them from their graves.
But now, dreams had become reality.
The First and Second Hokage had truly risen from their graves to beat up the Third Hokage, making it impossible for him to boast.
"Akatsuki, we'll meet again!"
After saying these harsh words, the White Eye Wolf left.
That's right, with the real Akatsuki, Tang Ping, present, he couldn't shift the blame or do anything. This incident was just a convenient opportunity for him, and it wasn't strange for him to retreat when encountering unexpected situations.
As for Tang Ping, he didn't put it to heart at all.
Whether it was him or Uchiha Yae, if they really wanted to kill, it would be as easy as killing a chicken.
But because he stood at the forefront, the hidden hands behind the scenes wouldn't directly appear, so they tolerated his free actions.
Unfortunately, there was no watermelon nearby.
If there was, he could have enjoyed some juicy gossip while watching Sarutobi Hiruzen get beaten.
What a pity!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed strong, and even at his age, he could display Shadow-level strength.
His various combat techniques and ninjutsu combinations were textbook-perfect.
However, facing the two Hokage now, it was simply not enough.
If the two Hokage hadn't occasionally broken their attack rhythm, giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a chance to catch his breath, he might have surrendered earlier.
Obviously, this was because their power was too overwhelming, causing the talisman's control to be less than absolute.
"Water Style: Solid Vortex Blade!"
Senju Tobirama directly unleashed an S-rank water technique.
Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen was prepared for such a rigid use of ninjutsu and dodged it with a clone.
Boom! But Senju Hashirama kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had dodged the ninjutsu, sending him flying and even knocking out a tooth, showing the intensity of the kick.
Next, it was another round of hand-to-hand combat.
However, while Senju Tobirama was beating his disciple, he clapped his hands, and terrifying chakra began to erupt, obviously preparing for a powerful technique.
Soon, Tang Ping realized that the God of Shinobi was about to use that technique.
