Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Orochimaru licked the tip of his tongue, and then prepared to insert the control talisman into the back of Koki's head.

This control spell can erase a person's will. Although it prevents the resurrected from exerting their full strength from their previous life, at least it prevents them from betraying others.

With the annihilation seal inserted, all the dust around the ancient tree dissipated, and the cracks on its face returned to normal.

Gu Mu clearly felt a force impacting his soul, but this force was like a moth drawn to a flame, easily crushed by him.

It should be noted that the ancient tree's soul power has been tempered and refined through decades of battles within the Demon Blade Space, and has grown to an extremely terrifying level.

Ten years ago, he personally took away the evil spirit, which caused his own soul power to increase dramatically, and he even became the real evil spirit within the demon sword.

Unfortunately, his current physical body cannot withstand such a massive outpouring of soul power, so he can only patiently wait for a suitable opportunity to break through the seal of the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!!"

Seeing that Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were working together, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly formed hand seals, and a terrifying fire dragon roared out of his mouth.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!!"

With his hands forming a hand seal, Tobirama Senju instantly caused a vast ocean to surge forth from the previously waterless land, forming a water barrier.

"Water Escape Water Dragon Bomb!!"

The roaring water dragon stunned the ANBU members watching from outside the formation. They were all amazed by the Second Hokage's powerful water-style abilities.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly formed hand seals. A massive earthen wall roared out, blocking the oncoming water dragon.

But soon, his eyes twitched.

Seeing Hashirama Senju clap his hands together, a powerful sense of crisis arose within him.

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!!"

With a soft shout, Hashirama Senju sent massive trees whistling through the earthen wall, hurtling towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, who stood atop it.

Furthermore, the terrifying Wood Release technique instantly covered the entire formation, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.

"Summoning Technique: Monkey Demon!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was no match for some of them, made a quick decision and summoned his powerful summoning assistant.

"Orochimaru? Sarutobi, I told you to kill him before, but you didn't listen to me."

The Monkey King looked at Orochimaru causing trouble in the distance with a cold tone.

"Ape Demon, transform into the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff), I will kill him!!"

"understand!"

With a 'bang,' the Monkey Demon turned into smoke and reappeared, now as the giant golden cudgel in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

The Third Hokage in his complete form, with a cage and fire, would be beyond saving even by a god.

"No? You're still conscious?"

Orochimaru looked at the old tree beside him that hadn't moved for a long time, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Gu Mu did not respond, but his slightly disdainful sidelong glance made Orochimaru's heart race.

Before Orochimaru could react, Hiruzen Sarutobi's golden cudgel instantly grew longer and slammed into the demon sword in Orochimaru's hand.

"Damn old man, since you like dying so much, then I'll grant your wish."

Orochimaru temporarily put the strangeness of the ancient tree aside. With the First and Second Hokage as his henchmen, it was enough to take down Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Instantly, Orochimaru charged forward, and together with Hashirama, they began to encircle and attack Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Under the watchful eye of the old tree, Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly struggling.

I don't know what happened, but Orochimaru tore off his face, revealing the appearance of a pretty woman.

It seems that his so-called immortality technique of soul transfer has been successfully tested.

"Hahaha, teacher, do you see this? This is immortality. The more I see your aged body, the more pathetic I feel."

Orochimaru touched his cheek, revealing a crazy and perverted smile.

His voice had a chilling, twisted quality, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were icy cold as he stared at his former student, his heart filled with anger and disappointment. "Orochimaru, how many is this now?"

Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly, revealing an indifferent smile.

He gently shook his finger and answered casually, "Let me guess, it should be the second one."

It was so relaxed it was almost frightening, as if they were talking about something trivial.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

He knew Orochimaru's cruelty and ruthlessness, but he couldn't stop the guy from continuing to pursue that so-called immortality.

"Orochimaru, I'll make you regret this," Hiruzen Sarutobi said through gritted teeth.

Having said that, to the astonishment of the Enma, Hiruzen Sarutobi spared no effort to expend his life force and summoned three shadow clones.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's body began to tremble, and the wrinkles on his face became more pronounced. But his gaze remained exceptionally firm, as if he wanted to pour everything into this moment.

His hands moved swiftly, forming complex hand seals, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips trembled slightly as he chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation.

With his movement, a powerful wave of chakra spread through the air.

"Take this! Sealing Technique: Corpse Demon Sealing!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared, his voice as powerful as thunder.

A colossal phantom of the Grim Reaper, a dagger dangling from its mouth, was staring menacingly at the ancient tree.

The figure of Death gradually became clearer, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light, and its dagger exuding a suffocating aura.

The entire space was shrouded in this terrifying power, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Chapter 76 This era belongs to me!!

The phantom of the Grim Reaper stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because he was in a soul state, Orochimaru did not perceive any difference in Hiruzen Sarutobi's forbidden technique.

On the contrary, the ancient tree, whose soul cultivation had reached its peak, had already noticed the gaze of the Grim Reaper upon it.

It's like watching a plate of exquisite cuisine.

Soon, the two shadow clones captured Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

As the sealing of the corpse demon unfolds.

The souls of these two were imprisoned together inside the belly of Death.

Gu Mu watched as the shadow clone of Sarutobi Hiruzen rapidly approached him.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, it's been a long time. But I don't want to go inside that guy's stomach."

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's astonished gaze, Koki made a single-handed grasp, and the demon sword Muramasa, which had been in Orochimaru's hand, instantly flew into his own.

"Ancient Tree, there's no time for reminiscing. You can't disrupt the balance between life and death!!"

"Are you kidding? Who wants to reminisce with you?"

Gu Mu's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "I haven't settled the score with you yet for the time you surrounded and attacked Uchiha Shizuru..."

In an instant, Gu Mu swung his sword, Muramasa.

A terrifying ghostly aura swept over, and several demons that had materialized into physical form easily bound Hiruzen Sarutobi to the spot by turning into chains.

Looking at Orochimaru not far away, who had already been captured by Hiruzen Sarutobi's main body, Enma tightly gripped his long sword, preventing Hiruzen Sarutobi from being stabbed to death.

The two were caught in a soul-wrenching struggle, and Gu Mu knew that his chance had come.

Now is the time when Orochimaru's control over the Edo Tensei is at its weakest.

Feeling the weakened control spell of the Impure Earth behind his head, Gu Mu remained indifferent.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

Gu Mu mobilized his soul power, and terrifying energy surged from his body, instantly breaking through the confinement of the impure earth.

In an instant, the ancient tree felt an unprecedented sense of freedom, as if it had been reborn.

He excitedly raised his head, stretched out his five fingers as if he wanted to hold the whole world in his palm.

"From this day forward, this era will belong to me!"

Gu Mu's gaze turned to a distance where two figures were frozen in place—Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.

Gu Mu remained silent, carrying his demon sword, and slowly walked towards them.

"Gu Mu, what are you doing! This is disrespectful to death..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clone, who was bound to the rooftop by chains of demonic energy, angrily questioned the ancient tree after it broke free of its restraints.

However, before he could finish speaking, Gu Mu raised his hand and brought down his blade. A sharp blade of light flashed and instantly cut Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clone in two.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clone stared wide-eyed, an expression of disbelief on its face, before turning into a wisp of smoke and dissipating into the air.

"boom!!"
