AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 169
Immediately, countless towering trees burst from the ground, shooting up into the sky, instantly transforming the entire rooftop into a forest, completely changing the terrain!
The countless branches and vines wildly shot towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya!
Entangling, binding, sealing, suppressing!
It could even devour and absorb the enemy's Chakra!
Such terrifying power struck fear into people's hearts!
Fortunately, the Edo Tensei Senju Hashirama was completely unable to unleash his full power from when he was alive.
Otherwise... let alone Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, even ten of them would have fallen long ago!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hiruzen-sensei!"
"A long-awaited master-disciple battle, isn't it!"
Jiraiya laughed loudly, forming hand signs while dodging the Wood Release's pursuit, shouting to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also nodded.
"Indeed, it's truly nostalgic..."
In an instant.
The master and disciple attacked simultaneously!
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
The two powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu instantly shot out, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, directly burning towards the entire forest of the Deep Forest Emergence!
Although ordinary Fire Release was difficult to destroy Wood Release.
But Jiraiya's Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet, which incorporated the power of toad oil, had raging flames and boiling hot oil, causing the trees of the Deep Forest Emergence to crackle, their branches charring and falling.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi's Great Fire Annihilation was one of the ultimate Fire Release Ninjutsu, with fierce flames and extremely high temperatures, capable of instantly burning targets to ashes!
With the master and disciple working together, Orochimaru couldn't help but frown deeply.
He immediately manipulated the Edo TenseiSecond Hokage, Senju Tobirama, to unleash his Ninjutsu in response.
"Water Release: Water Shockwave!"
In an instant.
From a place without water, a violent, tornado-like current of water suddenly appeared, vast in scope and immense in scale, countering towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya!
The swirling water instantly transformed into a massive waterfall, crashing down, and then like a great river, it submerged the ground beneath their feet.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the ground.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
A massive Earth Release wall formed, blocking the water flow.
The master and disciple leaped up, standing on top of the Earth Release wall to dodge.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
The Edo Tensei Senju Tobirama suddenly unleashed an even more powerful Water Release.
The water shot out like a high-pressure water gun, slicing down, and wherever it passed, whether it was the Wood Release trees or the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, they were directly cut and severed!
Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"As expected of the Previous Hokage-sama..."
"Each of them is ridiculously strong..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice: "The Edo Tensei body is absolutely immortal, with infinite vitality and endless Chakra, and any physical damage will rapidly recover!"
"Other than Sealing Technique, there is no other way to defeat them!"
"Jiraiya, you and I will each take one, and use Sealing Technique to seal the two Previous Hokage!"
"Then we'll deal with that bastard Orochimaru!"
Jiraiya laughed loudly: "Alright!"
Orochimaru's brows furrowed tightly.
"Hmph, as expected, the precision of Edo Tensei is far from enough..."
"If this continues..."
Jiraiya suddenly formed hand signs and flicked his hair... "Wild Lions Mane Technique!"
Immediately, hardened white long hair shot out like whips, directly entangling the Edo Tensei Senju Hashirama's body, making it difficult for him to break free and move.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"
Jiraiya seized the opportunity to activate another Earth Release Ninjutsu.
The ground beneath instantly transformed into a massive swamp, causing the Edo Tensei Senju Hashirama to involuntarily sink into it.
Orochimaru sneered: "Too naive, Jiraiya!"
He manipulated the Edo Tensei Senju Hashirama, who suddenly unleashed his unique monstrous strength!
Instantly, Chakra exploded, and a violent burst of power allowed him to directly break free from the Wild Lions Mane Technique's restraint!
Subsequently, Senju Hashirama even summoned Wood Release vines, grabbed them, and leaped up, escaping from the mud swamp.
Jiraiya frowned: "As expected, he's difficult to deal with..."
"In that case, how about this move?!"
"Barrier: Toad Gourd Prison!"
In an instant, Jiraiya suddenly flew forward, activating his most proficient Barrier Ninjutsu!
He summoned Mount Myōboku's gourd toad, instantly pulling the Edo Tensei Senju Hashiramainto the barrier!
That was like another world, similar to Mount Myōboku!
Everywhere, stone stalagmites stood tall, filled with rich natural energy!
In the original work, Jiraiya used this move to pull the Animal Path into it and eliminate him, and had Fukasaku-sama bring his body back to Konoha Village for research.
Once inside the barrier, even Pain, who possessed the Rinnegan, could no longer sense him.
It was the same now.
The Edo Tensei Senju Hashirama entered the barrier, and Orochimaru suddenly lost track of him!
"That is..."
"Mount Myōboku's secret Barrier Ninjutsu?"
"Damn Jiraiya, making me unable to sense the First Hokage's aura means I can't continue to control him..."
"Well done, Jiraiya!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also showed a hint of a smile.
Only having to deal with one enemy, and one whose strength was greatly diminished from when he was alive, made him much more relaxed.
"My apologies, Second Hokage-sama!"
"Sanpō Fūin!"
In an instant, he summoned two Shadow Clones and activated his Sealing Technique.
A green Chakra pyramid barrier suddenly trapped the Edo Tensei Senju Tobirama within it.
"First, deprive him of his ability to move, and then..."
"Five Elements Seal!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his Shadow Clones acted simultaneously, and lines of runes instantly appeared, directly interfering with and sealing the Edo Tensei Senju Tobirama's Chakra flow. This way, not only his ability to move, but also his ability to use Ninjutsu would be difficult... "Finally..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was just about to make his move.
Orochimaru suddenly roared.
"Enough!"
He suddenly clapped his hands together, and directly released the Edo Tensei Ninjutsu!
Immediately... two beams of white light suddenly shot up into the sky; those were the souls of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama ascending again.
And the Edo Tensei "containers" gradually revealed themselves amidst the swirling dust.
They were Orochimaru's subordinates... Zaku Abumi and Kin Tsuchi!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya exchanged glances, both coldly saying: "To use your subordinates as sacrifices?"
"Orochimaru, you bastard are truly inhuman!"
Orochimaru sneered: "Such ant-like things, I have as many as I want!"
Jiraiya snorted: "Although you say that, you suddenly forcefully released the Edo TenseiNinjutsu because you were afraid that Hiruzen-sensei and I would seal the two Previous Hokage, weren't you?"
"That way, you wouldn't be able to summon their souls again in the future."
Orochimaru's thoughts were seen through, but he didn't become enraged out of embarrassment.
"Heh, Jiraiya, you seem to have grown a bit too..."
"Not as clumsy as before, are you..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi angrily said: "Do you still intend to continue desecrating the souls of the two Previous Hokage?!"
Orochimaru was unfazed.
"I'm merely making the most of my resources."
"However, it seems my Edo Tensei is indeed far from precise enough..."
"Otherwise, you two, master and disciple, would have died a hundred times over today..."
Jiraiya coldly said: "Orochimaru, you have committed many evils, even wishing to destroy Konoha, and today, all of this must end!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also said: "Indeed! That year, I made a mistake in judgment and let you go, never expecting to truly reap the consequences. This is all the sin of me, the Hokage!"
"But today, I will absolutely not tolerate you any longer!"
Orochimaru burst into laughter.
He actually... suddenly tore off his own face!
Beneath his original human face was another eerie, feminine face!
And his speaking voice also directly changed to a woman's voice!
"Hiruzen-sensei, Jiraiya..."
"You wouldn't really think you can kill me, would you?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya were greatly alarmed.
"That, that Ninjutsu is..."
"Damn Orochimaru, could it be that you've finally succeeded?!"
Orochimaru let out a wild, shrill, feminine laugh.
"That's right, Hiruzen-sensei!"
"Now, I am eternally immortal!"
"Through the forbidden Ninjutsu of Living Corpse Reincarnation, by reincarnating into one body after another, I can remain eternally youthful on the basis of immortality, and even gain increasingly powerful strength!"
