Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Chiba's battlefield is not here.

What the Hokage Building needs most right now is an Earth Release ninja—

"Now is not the time to discuss what it is. Quickly arrange for people to evacuate. I don't know how destructive Danzo's Inner Four Symbols Seal is."

Chiba used his supernatural powers to create a hole in the ground and sent Danzo's corpse inside.

Chiba glanced at the ground.

It would be dangerous to stay here.

"Arrange evacuation."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Mangekyou Sharingan, and a genjutsu manipulation type at that.

"Ah."

Shan Zhonghai nodded.

"Yes!"

Earth Release ninjas can rebuild the Hokage Building after a portion of their power is sealed.

When they got downstairs, Haiyi covered his head.

Another squad that was originally protecting the daimyo quickly began to work.

He didn't ask what the eyes in Chiba's hand were.

His shadow clone also went to the Daming Mansion with the Daming.

Yamanaka Inoichi knew that Chiba wouldn't undergo a nature change, and staying here would only allow him to watch the show.

"Lord Chiba, Lord Inoichi, we have escorted the daimyo back to the daimyo's residence. Please give us your instructions."

Hai nodded.

As for chakra.

Inoichi realized the seriousness of the situation: "Lord Daimyo!"

Extracting it again would be risking your life.

Putting aside Inoichi's importance in Konoha, Chiba couldn't let him die in vain, considering he still owed him a deal.

Haiyi covered his head and nodded repeatedly.

Chiba casually sealed away the Mangekyou Sharingan, then instantly disappeared.

With Jonin like Jiraiya and Kakashi on the Third Hokage's side, there was virtually no chance of anything going wrong. So, instead of having Genma Shiranui escort him there, he ran along the street towards the Third Hokage's location.

He expanded his sensory range, surveyed the area, and then...

Make a seal with your hands.

A summoning array!

Before long, a dark mass of parasitic insects appeared around him, completely obscuring his vision.

Chiba remained expressionless.

The summoning array still has room for improvement; at least next time, I can't let these insects surround me.

What if it happens during a battle?

That would be digging your own grave.

but.

The most important thing now is to save lives.

"Your enemies are the snake clan. Just focus on attacking them. You don't need to worry about the other ninjas."

"Buzz!"

The chirping of insects was deafening.

"Let's go."

"Buzz!"

The black mist transformed into clusters of dark clouds, dispersing in all directions. In just a short while, the parasitic insects had already clashed with the giant snake clan.

Chiba sped forward.

These giant snakes pose the greatest threat to ordinary ninjas. Without Orochimaru's summoning beasts, the small number of Sound Ninja and Sand Ninjas who had infiltrated would not have posed much of a threat.

He rushed along, taking care of two or three ninjas along the way, and arrived at the third examination site outside the Forest of Death.

A huge tail is fighting against a giant toad.

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

Gaara.

They had fought once before, and he obtained a portion of the Tailed Beast's chakra that he still had stored in the scroll.

but.

How could that amount of tailed beast chakra be enough?

"The plot seems to have changed a lot. Naruto and Sasuke are still not awake, and Sakura is lying in the hospital. If Jiraiya hadn't come back, the Third Hokage's side would probably have been wiped out."

Chiba thought to himself.

Jiraiya's arrival was completely unexpected by Orochimaru. Just by observing his emotional fluctuations, Orochimaru knew that Orochimaru's mood at that moment must not be very good.

And in fact...

"I didn't expect you to be back too."

Orochimaru's face darkened.

His target was the old man, and he thought his plan was going smoothly. He never expected that his opponent would not be the Third Hokage, but Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru, you've gone too far astray; you're no longer my ally!"

Jiraiya said sternly.

Is it right for the Sannin to orchestrate a plan to destroy Konoha?

He didn't ask, but his meaning was clear.

Orochimaru was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Jiraiya, you've never really understood me, but... it doesn't matter."

The next moment, he formed a hand seal and slapped the ground, and three coffins slowly appeared.

Jiraiya's expression was solemn.

This is……

"Reanimation Jutsu? You dare to toy with the souls of the dead!"

Jiraiya's anger had reached its limit.

The next second, he also formed hand seals and summoned two figures.

"Jiraiya, what happened?"

"Honey, you're really getting senile. It's obvious that Konoha was attacked, do I even need to say it?"

One sentence from Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin.

Seeing that they intended to continue their conversation, Jiraiya quickly interrupted them.

"Boss, Big Sister, I'm sorry, but it seems that the matter at hand is more important right now. Orochimaru used a forbidden technique to manipulate souls, and I hope you can help me."

Jiraiya quickly replied.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

These two must be hermits from Mount Myoboku.

Did Jiraiya also complete his Sage Mode training?

Forget it.

It doesn't matter.

Orochimaru turned to the side, looked at his three coffins, and then smiled and said, "Jiraiya, you know this is the Impure World Reincarnation, so guess who's inside?"

"No matter who they are, I'll kill you right here."

Jiraiya said coldly.

Orochimaru smiled silently, and then the lid of the first coffin was quietly opened.

A familiar image appeared inside—

The First Hokage!

The second coffin—

The Second Hokage

Jiraiya glared at him angrily.

"Jiraiya, calm down, don't let him provoke you."

"Yes!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

To enter the Immortal Mode, one must be in harmony with the energy of nature. Although one has two immortals to assist them, one's own mindset is still very important.

He suppressed his anger.

We must take advantage of this time to absorb natural energy.

Fortunately, the natural energy here is still quite abundant.

He closed his eyes and refused to look at Orochimaru.

Chiba watched from a distance.

Orochimaru's third coffin...

Who is it?
