Chapter 16 The Reappearance of Netherworld Escape

To Hagoromo Gengetsu's surprise, Orochimaru decisively rejected the proposal to join forces.

"I dare not underestimate a ninja as great as you."

Snakes are cold-blooded animals.

Orochimaru prefers to trust himself rather than others.

Not wanting anything to go wrong when he was trying to connect with his most respected teacher, he took out another talisman and, without saying another word, stuffed it into Yu Yi Xuan Yue's head.

Seeing this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue could only shake her head inwardly.

"Modern ninjas don't even give a shred of trust; they're really going backwards. Oh well!"

With limited strength and unable to resist, Yu Yi Xuan Yue calmly accepted everything.

There will be other opportunities, so he's not in a hurry.

Like Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, Hagoromo Gengetsu's eyes quickly darkened, and Orochimaru completely controlled the Edo Tensei body.

Although her consciousness was blocked, Yu Yi Xuan Yue could still passively perceive everything in the outside world, but she was unable to control her body.

"Finish!"

Orochimaru, standing to the side, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, his hands forming hand seals, and said to his teacher with a forced smile:

"Enjoy it to the fullest, Sarutobi-sensei."

The words fell.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hagoromo Gengetsu first took a few slow steps.

Soon, as if they had already adapted, the three of them moved instantly, transforming into three incredibly swift black streaks amidst the sound of tiles shattering beneath their feet, rushing rapidly towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama! Watch out!"

Seeing that their Third Hokage seemed somewhat saddened and lost in thought, the Anbu ninja outside the barrier quickly called out to remind him.

"I know."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly regained his senses, took a deep breath to recover, and his gaze swept rapidly toward the three people rushing toward him from three directions.

Whoosh!

A kunai shot out rapidly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged the attack by tilting his head, but Hashirama Senju arrived first, clenching his fist and swinging it forcefully.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his body, twisted his hands to brace himself on the ground, and kicked out with his right foot, forcing Hashirama Senju back.

Before he could even catch his breath, Tobirama Senju appeared behind him.

Bang bang bang.

After a few quick exchanges, Hiruzen Sarutobi seized the opportunity, grabbed Tobirama Senju's arm with both hands, and threw him away.

However, at that moment...

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils suddenly contracted, Hagoromo Gengetsu appeared beside him like a ghost.

Too late to react.

He felt an immense force crushing his chest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth in pain, his aged body shrank, and he retreated rapidly like a cannonball.

With Yu Yi Xuan Yue and the readjusted Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama followed closely without giving them a chance to catch their breath.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Hiruzen Sarutobi, flying backwards, rapidly formed hand seals.

The next second, a raging fire dragon spewed from his mouth, and the raging flames covered the three pursuers, Yu Yixuanyue and her companions.

Seeing that they were about to be engulfed by the massive flames, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, one of the three, stepped forward and calmly extended her right hand, saying:

"Netherworld Release: Absorption Hole!"

The raging fire dragons seemed to have encountered a terrifying black hole, rushing to burrow into Yu Yixuanyue's right palm.

In an instant, the towering flames vanished.

Only a wisp of smoke rose from Yu Yixuanyue's palm, a testament to what had just happened.

"What...what is this?"

The ANBU ninjas watching the battle stared in disbelief.

They never expected that the Third Hokage's powerful Fire Release ninjutsu would be neutralized so easily.

"Netherworld Escape!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a deep look at the expressionless Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Unlike modern people's one-sided understanding of the past, as the Third Hokage, he was well aware of the strength of someone who could clash with the Five Kage and whom even the First Hokage regarded as a formidable opponent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Orochimaru to be able to summon even Hagoromo Gengetsu.

If we also include the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru himself.

What follows is probably...

A deep shadow was cast over Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

He had no time to think any further.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet"

At this moment, Yu Yi Xuan Yue returned the ninjutsu she had just absorbed.

"What a powerful talent."

Seeing all this, Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips with his long tongue.

In the realm of chakra, he, as a genius, had always admired the two of them.

Firstly, he was inspired by the Second Hokage, who gave him a lot of inspiration for forbidden techniques, and whom he also deeply respected.

Secondly, she developed numerous bloodline limits, and her talent, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, surprised even herself.

Unfortunately, after searching for so many years, they only found a few tissue cells of Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

If only we could obtain more of their flesh and blood to study them.

It is said that after Hagoromo Gengetsu died, Hashirama Senju returned his belongings to the Hagoromo clan.

However, decades later, the Hagoromo clan had mysteriously disappeared from the ninja world and could not be found anywhere.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru shook his head regretfully and turned his attention back to the scene.

Seeing the raging flames sweeping towards him, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath:

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A massive, solid earthen wall rose from the ground in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, firmly blocking the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet from the outside.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

Tobirama Senju retaliated decisively.

A jet of ultra-high pressure water shot out of his mouth, like an extremely sharp scalpel, rapidly cutting the earthen wall in front of him into pieces.

The crumbling earthen wall collapsed with a roar not long afterward.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged the aftershocks with a swift movement.

Snapped!

A loud clapping sound exploded in his ears.

Immediately after

"Wood Release: Descent from the Sea of ​​Trees!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked over with a change of expression and saw that as Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together, a large number of trees rose from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a dense forest covered the entire barrier.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, caught in the middle, tried to escape, but saw a large number of roots and vines rapidly wrapping around him from all directions.

With the addition of Hagoromo Gengetsu and Tobirama Senju exerting pressure from the sidelines.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was caught off guard when a vine caught his ankle, and then he was tightly wrapped by a large number of trees, unable to move.

Seeing this, Hashirama Senju released his hands.

Outside the barrier, the ANBU ninjas watching all this were both worried for the Third Hokage and couldn't help but marvel:

"Amazing! Is this the legendary Wood Release that the First Hokage, who quelled the chaos and established Konoha, possessed?"

Step, step, step.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hagoromo Gengetsu approached Hiruzen Sarutobi with expressionless faces.

Orochimaru followed, and said with a faint smile:

"I've finally caught you, teacher."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible ripple flashed deep within Yu Yi Xuan Yue's usually impassive eyes.

"Opening champagne at halftime is a no-no."

Although she couldn't control her body in the slightest, the real Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had witnessed everything just now like an observer, smiled slightly to herself.

fair enough.

The real opportunity I've been waiting for is about to arrive.
