I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Just as she was about to approach Tsunade, a large number of tree roots sprouted around her and under her feet, forcing her to dodge and avoid them.

"This is... Wood Release?"

As Yecang dodged, he looked at the tree roots growing from all directions, and a thought immediately flashed through his mind.

This thought caused an uncontrollable expression of shock to appear on her face.

Wood escape!

It is indeed Wood Release.

In the blink of an eye, the ruins have been replaced by a dense forest.

As the forest formed, the roots that had been sweeping towards 'Naraku' stopped and dispersed, revealing the two figures at their source.

"Reincarnation in the dirt?"

The roots stopped attacking, and 'Naraku' also stopped releasing lightning.

He stared at the two people opposite him, quite surprised.

Both of them were wearing armor from the Warring States period.

One is wearing red armor, and the other is wearing blue armor.

Meanwhile, the person wearing red armor had long black hair, while the person wearing blue armor had silver hair.

"Young man, although we are already dead and should not interfere in the world of the living, I will not let anyone who dares to destroy the village go, even if they are dead!"

The person in red armor slowly released his clasped hands, his gaze falling on 'Naraku' opposite him, his expression quickly shifting from calm to sharp.

This person was none other than Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage who founded Konoha.

“Brother, there’s no need to waste words with them. Let’s finish this battle as soon as possible!” said the silver-haired man in blue armor beside him.

This silver-haired man is also the Hokage of Konoha, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

When he spoke, Tobirama Senju looked at Naraku with equally cold eyes.

Although the specifics are not yet fully understood, judging from Tsunade's reaction just now, the person in front of her is undoubtedly an enemy.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to have the chance to see the two of you again this time, but..."

The empty, gray-black eyes and the cracks on their faces were what allowed 'Naraku' to immediately recognize that the Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama before him were resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

But after the initial surprise, 'Naraku' quickly chuckled.

His gaze swept across Hashirama Senju's face and landed on Tobirama Senju, who maintained a superior air.

puff!

A dazzling lightning sword pierced through his chest.

"Finish the battle quickly? Second Hokage, is your arrogance something your brother instilled in you?" A deep voice came from behind Tobirama Senju.

The 'Naraku' that was originally located opposite Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had disappeared at some point.

Instead, Naraku appeared behind Tobirama Senju at some unknown time and pierced Tobirama Senju's chest with his lightning sword.

"How can it be!!!"

The moment his chest was pierced, Tobirama Senju looked down in astonishment at the blade of the lightning sword protruding from his chest.

Although he was not afraid of such damage after being resurrected by Edo Tensei, it was still hard for Tobirama Senju to believe that he had been struck through the chest without even realizing it.

Tobirama!!

Beside him, Hashirama Senju looked at Naraku with surprise and suspicion, while his right hand swiftly shot out, sprouting sharp wooden spikes that attacked Naraku, who had pierced his younger brother's chest.

At the same time, Tobirama Senju quickly recovered from his shock and, ignoring the worsening injury to his chest, slapped Naraku with his backhand.

The Flying Thunder God Technique appeared on his palm, clearly intending to leave coordinates on 'Naraku'.

brush!

His figure flashed into view.

Whether it was Hashirama Senju or Tobirama Senju, their counterattacks both failed.

When 'Naraku,' who had vanished from behind Tobirama Senju in an instant, reappeared, he was already on the other side of Hashirama Senju.

His face changed slightly.

Compared to Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju was undoubtedly much more powerful, with his extremely keen perception of Naraku's approach at the first moment.

However, his keen insight only gave Hashirama Senju a little more time to react.

As he reacted, 'Naraku's' lightning sword had already transformed into a fierce slash.

puff! !

The severed arm was thrown into the air.

As soon as Hashirama Senju landed, he looked at Naraku with a solemn expression.

His right shoulder was missing his arm, but the stump looked like wood.

"Space-time ninjutsu? Yours is even more powerful than the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' developed by my brother. I never thought that such a powerful figure as you could be born in the ninja world after my death." Although his right arm had been severed, Hashirama Senju still seemed to be praising Naraku as he stared at him.

"Brother, this guy is no ordinary person. He is very likely the mastermind behind the attack on the village."

On the other side, as Naraku drew his sword and left, Tobirama Senju, who had wanted to leave behind the Flying Thunder God Technique, was disappointed and quickly distanced himself from Naraku.

A paper-like substance gathered on his chest to repair the wound.

Perhaps it was because he had personally experienced the power of 'Naraku'.

When his body recovered, Tobirama Senju no longer looked down on Naraku; instead, he was filled with gloom and fear.

"As expected of the Second Hokage, you really guessed right. This Konoha Crush plan was orchestrated by me. Well, no, it should be said that it was orchestrated by my true form."

Naraku casually hung his lightning sword at his side, watching the two who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy with great interest.

"Original body?"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were slightly taken aback, and then their expressions changed simultaneously.

As if in response to the astonishing guesses of the two, suddenly, a terrifying roar that resounded throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village came from afar.

Boom! ! !

Even though the sound came from afar, the sheer volume of the announcement of the exam venue was deafening.

Following the booming sound, a strong tremor quickly followed, causing Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju to hurriedly look in the direction from which the booming sound came.

Look around.

A speck of dust forms a mushroom cloud that rises high into the sky above the leaves.

If one were to look down from high above Konoha at this moment, one could clearly see that a large blank area had suddenly appeared inside the leaf.

Meanwhile, in the center of the empty area, two towering giants were colliding.

Chapter 148 Yae VS Manda

Time rewinds to the point where Orochimaru summons Manda to support the people of Konoha.

"kill!!"

"Don't let these Sunagakure people get away with this. Let's all work together to take them down."

"Hmph, your Konoha is finished. If you don't want to die, you'd better surrender now."

"You bastard, die!"

"."

Amidst the ruins and dilapidated streets, people could be seen fighting each other.

One side consists of ninjas from Konoha, and the other side consists of ninjas from Sunagakure.

Although the bombardment of the explosive tags caused great casualties and chaos in Konoha, the people of Konoha quickly regrouped as time went on.

Meanwhile, in this area, facing the wanton destruction by the Sand Village ninjas, the Konoha ninjas also launched a counterattack after reacting.

The sounds of fighting and roaring echoed continuously.

Just as the Konoha ninjas and Sunagakure ninjas were engaged in fierce battle, suddenly, a giant snake swiftly attacked from one side, unexpectedly swallowing several Sunagakure ninjas whole.

"Lord Orochimaru?!"

"It's Lord Orochimaru! Lord Orochimaru has come to our aid!"

"Is that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?"

"What's going on? Wasn't this guy on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers? Why is he here?"

"."

The appearance of the giant serpent prompted the people of Konoha and Sunagakure to rush over.

Upon seeing the figure on the giant snake, the two sides immediately reacted in opposite ways.

The giant serpent and the figures on it were none other than Manda and Orochimaru.

Especially the latter.
