Inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.
Orochimaru had a playful, cat-and-mouse smile on his face.
Outside the barrier, the sounds of Konoha's chaos and slaughter were cut off by the red light walls, leaving only a suffocating silence and killing intent within.
(Nonsense omitted here)
The Third used Earth Dragon Bullet and Fire Dragon Bullet, then emerged from the tile wall. Both had their clothes shredded and changed into new outfits to continue the fight.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Orochimaru's hands formed seals at a dizzying speed, then he slammed them onto the ground!
Summoning: Edo Tensei!
Black runes spread across the ground like living creatures, along with two coffins adorned with Talismanic Incantations.
One... two... three.
With the tooth-aching sound of grinding wood, they slowly rose from the ground! The characters 'First' and'Second' were clearly engraved on the coffins. A third coffin emerged halfway, with the character 'Fourth' written on it.
The Third slammed his hands together, forcing the third coffin back down; he absolutely could not let the third one come out.
The Third's expression was incredibly solemn; he knew this technique all too well, and he knew exactly what kind of existences were about to step out of those coffins.
Of all people, it had to be these two...
The coffin lids crashed open.
Dust billowed out, accompanied by a powerful and cold Chakra.
The dust slowly coalesced into two familiar figures—the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, wearing red layered armor with long black hair and a resolute, steady face; and the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, wearing blue layered armor with silver hair and a cold, sharp face!
The two legendary Hokage reappeared in the world in the form of the dead! They opened their eyes and stepped out of the coffins.
"It's been a long time, Sarutobi," the First said.
"Ho, it's you. You've gotten old, Monkey," Tobirama also spoke.
The Third looked at the two of them, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"I didn't expect to see you two brothers again in this manner."
"The reminiscing ends here. Now, let's begin."
Orochimaru grinned sinisterly and shot two Kunai with Talismanic Incantations into the backs of the First and Second's heads, preparing to completely control their wills and make them turn their blades against the Third!
They attacked the Third in unison.
After an exchange of Ninjutsu, the Third was clearly no match for them, looking quite wretched.
"Two-on-one is still too taxing... I didn't expect you to still be this strong."
Wood Release: Unzip the Crotch!
The Third was firmly trapped by Hashirama's Deep Forest Emergence.
At this critical moment, the Third summoned Enma for assistance, but Orochimaru also joined the fray. The Third still couldn't hold his ground and was knocked down. The resurrected First and Second could not be eliminated either.
Orochimaru picked him up and continued to mock him.
A look of struggle appeared on the Third's face as he endured the mockery.
"Sarutobi, what's wrong? This isn't like you at all."
Enma, who had transformed into a staff, spoke.
"What are you hesitating for?"
The Third looked at his distorted Disciple before him, tears streaming down his face. Finally making up his mind, he roared at Orochimaru.
"You fool!"
The Third's voice was hoarse as he kicked Orochimaru away, creating distance. The image of Minato flashed through his mind.
"I'm going to use that move! Fourth Hokage!"
He summoned two Clones and quickly formed hand seals.
Snake-Boar-Ram-Rabbit-Dog-Rat-Bird-Horse-Snake!
The final seal was complete! Behind him, a blurry, illusory ghost wearing a white kariginu with a short sword in its mouth—the Shinigami—slowly emerged!
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
"It's over... Orochimaru..."
However, just as the Shinigami's chains were about to lock onto the Third to extract his life—
A cold, calm voice that seemed to carry a peculiar rhythm suddenly rang out within the barrier, breaking the tragic and desperate atmosphere.
"It's too early to say it's over."
The voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone was stunned!
Orochimaru, the Third, and even the controlled First and Second couldn't help but look toward the source of the sound—in the shadows of a corner of the barrier, an ordinary villager who was supposed to be just background scenery slowly stood up straight.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the villager's form rippled and distorted like water, quickly reverting to a young girl with pure white eyes—Hyuga Hinata!
"Oh? The brat from the Hyuga Clan? Why are you here?"
Orochimaru looked at her with interest.
The Third also looked at Hinata in shock.
Hinata ignored their shock. Her pure white eyes calmly scanned the situation before settling on the First and Second Hokage, who had just been summoned and hadn't yet been fully controlled by Orochimaru.
She didn't waste words and moved immediately.
Her speed was extreme. In an instant, she appeared beside the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. Hinata's right index finger struck out, and a strand of highly condensed white lightning at her fingertip, like a viper's tongue, accurately struck the control Talismanic Incantation on the back of the Second's head!
Ninth Heaven Thunder Art: Dispelling Evil!
Sizzle—!
The supreme Yang and rigid power of lightning possessed a natural counter to Talismans maintained by sinister Chakra and Soul fragments! The moment the lightning touched the Talisman, the black Talismanic Incantation shriveled and charred like paper thrown into a fire, then vanished into a wisp of blue smoke!
With the Talisman destroyed, a flicker of clarity and sharpness suddenly returned to the Second Hokage's hollow eyes! He stiffly turned his neck, freed from Orochimaru's control.
He gave Hinata a slight nod.
"Quite fast."
Then his body dissipated.
Hinata's figure blurred again.
In the next instant, she already appeared before the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!
Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!
Furious and shocked, Orochimaru reacted immediately, controlling the First to attack. Even as an incomplete Edo Tensei body, the First's Wood Release was still terrifying! Countless thick trees burst from the ground, carrying majestic vitality and destructive power, madly coiling and strangling toward Hinata!
Facing this legendary Ninjutsu, Hinata's expression remained unchanged as she took something out.
It was the Soul Suppression Sealing Talisman she had prepared.
The Talisman flew from Hinata's palm. She controlled it with extreme precision using her Spiritual Energy, bypassing all attacks. Her target was the First, while she used her agile body to leap and dodge the encroaching trees.
The Talisman accurately stuck to the back of the First Hokage's head.
Puff!
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, jolted as clarity returned to his eyes. Then the Talisman began to take effect, and his body also began to slowly turn to dust and dissipate.
"I'll leave the rest to you, young lady..."
The First dissipated after leaving those words.
In a flash, Hinata had broken both Edo Tensei Hokage with thunderous momentum! She had completely shattered Orochimaru's greatest trump card!
Nani!!
Orochimaru let out a furious and crazed roar! The trump card he had prepared so painstakingly had been so easily destroyed by a brat he considered an "interesting toy"!
The Third Hokage watched this, his heart filled with incomparable shock! The thing he had been prepared to sacrifice his life to solve was settled so easily by her?
Hinata's gaze swept over the Shinigami phantom behind the Third. She took out another Talisman and threw it at it.
The Shinigami fluctuated violently and finally dissipated slowly.
Cough, cough...
The Third collapsed to his knees, exhausted, coughing violently.
"She actually let me escape the Shinigami..."
The Third was alarmed. This Ninjutsu meant certain death once used, yet she suppressed it with just a single Talisman. What on earth was that thing?
Inside the barrier, the situation reversed instantly.
Having lost the aid of Edo Tensei, Orochimaru looked at Hinata with a distorted face, his vertical pupils filled with rage, killing intent, and a hint of wariness he didn't want to admit.
Orochimaru's voice was like a viper's hiss.
"Sooner or later, I will dig out your secrets bit by bit!"
Hinata slowly turned around, her pure white eyes calmly watching the enraged Orochimaru, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
"Has anyone ever told you that in Konoha, you're just a... Rogue Ninja?"
Orochimaru turned to flee, but the barrier was still up; he couldn't get out.
Listen~ Auntie Snake, I love Konoha so much. Fine! Watch me send you to the dungeon!
Spiritual Energy exploded from Hinata's body, creating a powerful airflow. She lunged forward, appearing before Orochimaru in an instant, her voice playful.
"Open it yourself~?"
