Chapter 839: The First Hokage's Coffin Lid Can't Contain Him Again!
Chapter 839: The First Hokage's Coffin Lid Can't Contain Him Again!
Clap! A coffin lid slammed onto the ground, revealing a figure in red armor within.
Senju Hashirama!
Enter the scene.
Orochimaru, with his hands intact, naturally had access to this technique.
"Haha!"
"Looks like I'll be troubling the descendants again!"
...
The recently introduced Hashirama immediately surveyed the battlefield and, with a clear understanding of the situation, sheepishly apologized while rubbing his head.
Unfortunately, this time, there was no Uchiha Madara by his side to mock him.
Suddenly, he turned and looked back at Orochimaru, offering a subtle reminder:
"Junior, do you know that playing with souls will also lead to being played with?"
This was his way of 'hinting' at Orochimaru.
The souls of ninjas were under the jurisdiction of the Sage of Six Paths, and Orochimaru's current safety was only because the Sage wasn't pursuing the matter. It didn't mean he could freely play with souls, and he had also become a pawn in someone else's game.
Of course, Hashirama couldn't say it outright, he could only hint at it.
Not even a hint!
If Orochimaru was a fool, he certainly wouldn't catch on.
But being the true genius he was, he could sense a hidden meaning in Hashirama's words.
'Can the souls of the dead not be played with, and will there be punishment?'
He might have had these thoughts, but he didn't show any signs of weakness. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Even if I'm being played with, the First Hokage won't be able to see it. For now, let's show the young ninjas of Konoha your power to pacify the chaotic world!"
By saying 'I'll be played with,' he was acknowledging that he understood Hashirama's hint.
"Let me see how the young people of Konoha have grown!"
Hashirama's words were full of confidence.
This statement was also meant for the Konoha side to hear.
Even though he couldn't resist due to the Summoning of the Dead, it didn't mean he was willing to go all out against Konoha.
"Lightning Style: Thousand Bird Spear!"
A blue lightning bolt flashed, and the lightning spear pinned Hashirama to the tree behind him, paralyzing him.
"Sealing Team..."
Just as Yamato was about to act, Hashirama leaped from the tree to the ground, admiring Asuma with a glance.
Being able to recognize his Wood Clone was indeed impressive.
The body pierced by the Thousand Bird Spear transformed into a wooden figure.
Wood Clone!
This was a high-level Shadow Clone.
Not only was it difficult to see through, but it also possessed considerable combat power, and unlike ordinary Shadow Clones, it wasn't easily defeated, making it an extremely formidable opponent.
Hashirama wasn't known for his speed, but that was only because his Wood Release concealed his true power.
In terms of speed and reaction, he wouldn't dare claim to be the fastest in the Shinobi World, but he was undoubtedly among the top tier. He was no slower than Kakashi in Chidori mode, which was why he was able to use a Wood Clone to dodge at the critical moment.
"Lightning Armor!"
Kakashi's command was followed by a blue electric arc enveloping him.
Lightning Armor!
This was an 'imitation' of the Lightning Armor developed by the Uchiha Clan in the Land of the Rising Sun.
As a genius who had independently developed the potential-filled Lightning Style: Chidori at a young age, it wasn't impossible for him to develop a corresponding technique with a reference model.
So, even if Kakashi could use the Lightning Style from the Land of the Rising Sun, it wasn't unusual.
In Lightning Armor, Kakashi's speed and defense were greatly enhanced.
He had acquired this technique at a young age and, due to his habit of slacking off, had ample time to master it. His progress in Lightning Armor was no less than Uchiha Shou's, who had used the Third Raikage's heart. Kakashi's talent was evident, as he was no weaker than Shou, who had the Raikage's innate Lightning Style abilities.
Facing Kakashi in this state, Orochimaru couldn't afford to be as relaxed as he was when fighting Naruto.
"I never imagined that the little bird I knew has now become a mighty eagle."
Orochimaru struggled to defend himself while expressing his surprise.
When he had defected from Konoha, he could have easily disposed of Kakashi.
He never expected Kakashi to have grown to such an extent.
What puzzled Orochimaru was the sense of 'deja vu' he felt with Kakashi's Lightning Style.
It didn't seem like imitation development at all; it was more like someone had taught him step by step.
"Is that so!"
Kakashi Hatake pulled out his short sword.
White Fang!
This short sword was his primary weapon.
After learning the truth about his father's suicide from Tang Ping, he had diligently practiced the sword techniques left by White Fang.
With her unparalleled talent and the state of 'no women in the heart, the sword draws naturally divine,' he had rapidly advanced his sword skills to a staggering level.
Looking at the figure in front of him, wielding the White Fang, the sharp aura almost piercing his skin, Orochimaru seemed to see a revered figure reappear before him.
"Let me witness the might of the White Fang of the Hidden Leaf once again!"
For the first time, he took the initiative to attack.
Kakashi also swung his sword to meet him, not retreating in the slightest.
Even against one of the Three Great Shinobi, Orochimaru, he showed no fear at all.
While this side was fighting a perilous battle, the battle on the other side had just begun.
There was no way to fight in close combat against Senju Shusui, who had unparalleled combat experience and had crawled out of a pile of corpses.
It was only due to Orochimaru's control that he couldn't fully unleash his strength; otherwise, with Senju Shusui's strength, there would have been casualties, not just injuries.
Sai!
He was already injured and was being taken to the other side of the bridge by Sakura for treatment.
Sakura's role was primarily support.
Without Tsunade as her teacher, she naturally didn't have the chance to learn superhuman strength, so she couldn't be the main attacker.
Fortunately, she had a good aptitude for medical ninjutsu and had Tsunade's beginner training notes given by Jiraiya, allowing her to play a decent support role and not just be a filler.
"Wood Style: Wooden Human!"
Senju Shusui used the Wooden Human technique.
A wooden human figure, several dozen meters tall, appeared. Even the tallest trees were shorter than the wooden figure, showing just how exaggerated it was.
Boom!
The giant wooden figure punched the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, trying to make Asuma, Naruto, and Da Wa fall off the cliff.
"Wood Style: Giant Wooden Pillars!"
Da Wa quickly formed seals. From the cliff behind, several wooden pillars as thick as dining tables grew, like arms holding up the broken bridge.
It had to be said, Da Wa's Wood Style was very reliable for construction.
What would take ordinary people a long time to build, for him, was just a matter of using Wood Style.
"We can't let the First Hokage continue using Wood Style. Naruto, you take the lead, I'll support, Da Wa, use Wood Style to pin him down, and Sai, once you finish healing, join us!"
Asuma quickly assigned roles.
It wasn't that Naruto was really that strong.
But because Naruto was on the brink of losing control, Asuma didn't dare to take the lead himself, so he switched the order to let Naruto attack and him support.
Whoosh!
In the Three-Tails state, Naruto charged at Senju Shusui, who was on top of the wooden figure, like a cannonball.
Asuma also charged forward.
On top of the wooden figure!
Senju Shusui was inwardly bitter.
He really didn't want to cause trouble for future generations, but he was being forced to act under control.
After the previous lessons, Orochimaru's control seals had become increasingly strict. Though it wasn't as good as fighting on his own, his strength wasn't easy to handle.
Naruto in the Three-Tails state, in the original plot, was not weak and had made Orochimaru quite helpless.
But this time, he was facing Senju Shusui. Even in the Nine-Tails state, it wouldn't be enough to challenge him.
It was only because he wasn't at his peak that the Nine-Tails didn't dare to come out, trembling in its seal.
With Asuma and Da Wa assisting from the side, Naruto hadn't been overwhelmed yet.
However, even so, Naruto fought like an indestructible cockroach, growing stronger the more tails on his Chakra Beast Suit, the more he transformed into a human-like Nine-Tails.
"Boy, don't get lost in the power of the Nine-Tails!"
Senju Shusui naturally saw the crystal pendant on Naruto's chest and warned him.
Unfortunately, Naruto couldn't hear any external voices anymore.
At this moment, he was actively accepting the Nine-Tails' temptation, letting the evil chakra drown him.
