Chapter 427: Run for your Lives!
After watching the battle for a while, Orochimaru muttered, “Is this the limit?”
Kabuto asked with a bit of an anxious expression, “Orochimaru-sama what now? We should help them, otherwise, the one with the Ketsuryugan might be able to extract information about you.”
Orochimaru nodded, and said, “True, but we do not need to do it ourselves.”
Kabuto asked in confusion, “Is there anyone except for Momochi Zabuza that you have arranged?”
It hasn’t been very long since Otogakure was founded, the manpower and resources are insufficient, so except for him and Orochimaru, there is no one with the strength to be able to resist the Akatsuki members, this is why Kabuto is both confused, but also curious.
Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a sly smile, “Do you not think that this is the perfect opportunity to test out the new forbidden Jutsu?”
Kabuto’s eyes widened in surprise, “The new forbidden Jutsu? You… don’t mean that one, do you?”
Orochimaru nodded, “Oh, I mean that one alright.”
Kabuto asked, “B… but… are you sure Orochimaru-sama? If information about that Jutsu reaches Akatsuki or the five great villages then it could prove to be troublesome.”
Orochimaru bit his finger and said while waving hand signs, “Oh, I have never been more sure, this is not only the perfect opportunity to test out the extent of that Jutsu’s current development, but also give out a message to Akatsuki to not come here recklessly… capturing or killing me won’t be as easy as they presume it to be.” Then without waiting any longer, Orochimaru clapped his hand together and shouted, ‘Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei!’
Boom… Boom… Boom…
With a bang, four coffins with the symbol of ‘Sho’ ‘Ni’ ‘SanKaze’ and ‘Yon’ appeared out of the ground, but instantly the Coffins with the symbol ‘SanKaze’ and ‘Yon’ sunk back into the earth.
Orochimaru frowned looking at the two coffins that sunk back, ‘I expected as much for the fourth, but even the third? Is the soul of Sandaime Kazekage sealed somewhere?’ Then he shook his head without care, ‘Oh, well it doesn’t matter, for now. I’ll think about it later.’
Even Kabuto was surprised but did not say anything.
The lids of the coffins with the symbol ‘Sho’ and ‘Ni’ opened and two dark figures who regained consciousness walked out of it.
“Huh? What’s going on?” The figure in red armor, with black hair, muttered in confusion.
“Forbidden Jutsu? Looks like this youth has summoned us from the realm of the dead using Edo Tensei.” The one wearing blue armor with white hair answered the doubts first, and added, “He is something else.”
“Tobirama! I told you not to create this Jutsu, now look what happens.” The one in the red armor shouted at the one in blue armor.
“Oh, shut up, will you nii-san?” But the one in the blue armor was indifferent and did not care about his elder brother’s scolding, instead, he asked Orochimaru, “So? Why have you summoned us?”
Orochimaru smirked and said, “To deal with a small problem of course.”
Hashirama asked with a frown, “What problem?”
“Well, you see Shodaime-sama, Nidaime-sama, there are a few people after me, however, I am quite shy and do not want to show myself to them, so I will have you two deal with them, this way… Konoha takes all the glory, and my problems will be solved.” Orochimaru said as he brought out two Kunai with a red sealing tag tied to them and put them inside the back of the head of the two.
The moment the red sealing tag was inside them; a burst of steam rose from the two, their body temperature restored, and their faces became livelier… it was as if with every moment, they were looking more alive.
“There’s always fighting… no matter when you live.” Said Hashirama with a melancholic expression.
Orochimaru said, “One thing I can assure you of is that these people are not only the enemy of Konohagakure but the enemy of the entire Shinobi World. And as the two former Hokage, and God of Shinobi, I think you will definitely love to protect the peace of this Shinobi world along with your dearest village, isn’t that right Hashirama-sama?”
Tobirama frowned, “What do you mean by the enemy of the entire Shinobi World?”
Orochimaru shook his head, and said, “I think we can leave the rest of the talks for later, right now, dealing with the problem comes first.” Then Orochimaru waved the hand seal of confrontation, and instantly both Hashirama and Tobirama rushed towards the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.
Orochimaru chuckled, “Now then, let’s see the heroic figures of Shodaime Hokage and Nidaime Hokage in action.”
Kabuto pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with an extremely exciting look.
…
On the battlefield, Kimimaro, Jugo, Haku, Guren, and Tenzo are lying on the ground tied up, meanwhile, Zabuza was encased in Kahyo’s ice, and unable to mold any Chakra to fight back.
Takashi asked Mageta, “Are you sure Zabuza does not know anything?”
Mageta did not answer. Currently, he was trying to peer inside Tenzo’s mind so he couldn’t answer.
A few seconds earlier, Mageta tried to peer into the mind of Zabuza, but couldn’t find anything related to Orochimaru.
Helpless, Mageta tried with Tenzo, since Tenzo is the oldest of the bunch of Otogakure, so he is the one most likely to have the information about Orochimaru, but for some reason, Mageta was unable to find anything inside Tenzo’s brain too, ‘What’s going on? Do they really not know anything about Orochimaru, or is it the work of some Jutsu?’
Kisame asked, “How long is it going to take?”
Mageta did not answer as he tried to probe into the minds of other kids, but the same result. Confused at this turn of events, he said to the other four members of Akatsuki, “They really don’t seem to have any connection with Orochimaru.”
Kisame asked, “Are they connected to Amatsukami?”
Mageta again shook his head, “No, these children don’t have any connection with Amatsukami either.”
The four frowned, but before any one of them could say anything, Kahyo suddenly looked in the direction of a mist-covered forest and said, “Someone is approaching, and they are extremely fast!”
Mageta instantly raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Kahyo, and said, “Two enemies, not only are they fast, but they are extremely strong!”
Juzo was annoyed.
Up until now, they haven’t found a single trace of Orochimaru, and the troubles they are facing are already too much and this thing has started to get on his nerves.
Kisame raised his Samehada on his shoulder, and said while looking at the two figures, “Something is not right with their Chakra fluctuations.”
Mageta nodded, with a serious expression. As a shinobi with the Ketsuryugan, he is naturally aware of the abnormality Kisame pointed out.
As the two figures got closer, the five members of Akatsuki finally saw the appearance of the two clearly.
One is wearing the iconic red armor of the Warring States Period, has long black hair, and a Konoha Forehead protector on his forehead, his very momentum speaks of his experience and his strength. The other person is wearing the iconic Blue armor of the Warring States Period and has small white hair.
Their face seemed to be quiet and devoid of any emotion, but this quietness was giving out an inexplicable palpating aura.
“Huh? Why do they look a bit familiar?” muttered all five of them.
If Kakuzu was here, he would have instantly recognized the identity of the two at a glance, because one of them was a target he attempted to assassinate.
Mageta exclaimed, “Putting aside their strange Chakra, the amount of Chakra they have is too much, the one with the Red Armor’s Chakra is even higher than Kisame!”
Without waiting for anyone to respond, Hashirama suddenly came to a halt and clapped his hands together, “Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!”
Boom boom boom
Accompanied by the terrible vibrations that shook the ground, countless trees emerged out of the ground and rushed towards the five members of Akatsuki.
“Wood Style and that iconic red armor, coupled with his face and that forehead protector… it… it can’t be…. Is he really who I think he is?” Mageta stuttered, “Sho… Shodaime Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama, the one and only God of Shinobi?”
The expression on everyone’s faces changed, shock, confusion, and most of all fear was clearly evident. And this is natural, anyone would be shocked if they suddenly face someone who should have been dead for over four decades, not to mention that someone is the God of Shinobi.
While the five put all their effort to resist the world of trees, the one with blue armor printed the ‘Tiger’ hand seal and shouted, ‘Genjutsu: Infinite Darkness Jutsu!’
Instantly their world turned dark, and the trees they were resisting against started to bind them, and because they couldn’t see anything, as such they slowly and steadily started getting overwhelmed.
“Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama? Does this place has something to do with the Senju Clan?” muttered someone, because they are already sure that the two people on the opposite side are undoubtedly the first two Hokage of Konoha.
Slash…
After swinging his Kubikiribocho to cut trees continuously trying to bind him, Juzo shouted, “This mission is a failure, run for your lives, if we survive then we will meet again at the gathering point, now good luck to everyone!”
Nobody questioned Juzo’s orders and instantly escaped in five different directions, even if they can not see where they were going, they still did not stop because if they did then it would mean death.
