Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 349 The Book of Sealing and the Shadow Technique are in hand!

With three loud thuds, the coffin lid fell to the ground, and the mist gradually dissipated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya stood side by side, both watching the dissipating white mist with a wary gaze.

"I have a bad feeling about this, old man," Jiraiya said with a serious expression.

"Impure World Reincarnation! That bastard dared to blaspheme the Hokage!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a somewhat ferocious expression.

Even though it was still somewhat blurry, Hiruzen Sarutobi could still sense a familiar aura from that blurry figure.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

As for the person who walked out of the third coffin, it was none other than Hanzo the Salamander from Amegakure!

When Jiraiya finally saw Hanzo the Salamander, he exclaimed in surprise, "Hanzo? When did he die!?"

The Land of Rain is currently in a state of isolation, with internal intelligence not circulating outside at all. The other ninja villages have no idea what is happening inside. Jiraiya still believes that Hanzo of the Salamander is still alive and ruling the entire Amegakure.

Unexpectedly, they saw the other party's figure in Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation technique.

This undoubtedly signifies that a dramatic change has taken place in the Land of Rain!

"Isn't that a little monkey?" Hashirama Senju seemed confused, laughing heartily. "What's going on? How did I suddenly end up in the human world?"

"It's probably my technique." Tobirama Senju said calmly, glancing at Orochimaru. "This technique isn't fully developed yet. Are you the caster? This is Konoha? A ninja from Sunagakure. I see. Konoha was attacked by an enemy, and you used this forbidden technique to summon us to defend against them?"

Clearly, Tobirama Senju mistook Orochimaru for a Konoha ninja.

Orochimaru was somewhat moved by these words and didn't know how to respond.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "I apologize, First Hokage and Second Hokage, for disturbing your rest. However, it is regrettable that the caster was the mastermind behind this attack on Konoha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tobirama Senju's cold gaze instantly fell on Orochimaru, and for a moment, even the Impure World Reincarnation technique became somewhat unstable.

Orochimaru acted decisively, giving the two Hokage no chance to make a move, and immediately inserted two control kunai into their heads, erasing their self-awareness.

"Although it will affect their performance, this is the only way," Orochimaru said softly.

"It's really ugly, Orochimaru," Hanzo of the Salamander said coldly.

"I almost forgot about you," Orochimaru said, shoving another kunai into Hanzo's head and erasing his consciousness.

In the original story, Orochimaru's three intended targets for the Impure World Reincarnation were Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, whom he had killed.

But now the situation has changed. For some reason, Orochimaru changed his original plan and did not kill Rasa. So he made some changes during the preparation.

As a former member of Akatsuki, he was aware of the changes in the Land of Rain and, during that time, obtained a portion of Hanzo's body tissue.

After all, as one of the legendary Sannin, he was very familiar with Hanzo of the Salamander, so he had a lot of confidence in Hanzo's strength.

As soon as the hand seals were formed, the three resurrected Hokage immediately sprang into action. The two Hokage attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi from the left and right, while Hanzo of the Salamander charged toward Jiraiya.

At the same time, Rasa launched a new offensive against Jiraiya. In terms of strength, Rasa was not bad and could suppress Shukaku, but he was indeed slightly inferior to Jiraiya. However, with the help of Hanzo of the Salamander, the situation suddenly tilted.

Jiraiya was immediately overwhelmed by the two and was quickly separated from the battlefield by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!" Hashirama Senju clapped his hands and shouted.

The ground above the Fire Shadow Rock began to crack, and a large number of branches and vines grew out of the ground, turning the surrounding area into a dense forest in the blink of an eye.

This was because his self-awareness had been erased, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique had not been fully developed, which resulted in his strength not being fully utilized.

If it were Hashirama Senju at his peak, a single "Adventure of the Tree World" would have been enough to turn the entire Hidden Leaf Village into a primeval forest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi moved through the dense jungle like a monkey, dodging the branches and vines that tried to entangle him.

At the same time, Tobirama Senju also made a hand seal, and a torrent suddenly burst forth from the ground beneath his feet. He stepped on the torrent and manipulated it, surfing like a surfer, circling through the forest and chasing Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet Technique!" Hiruzen Sarutobi landed on a branch, formed hand seals, and spat out a huge fireball.

As the fireball struck Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Shadow Clone Technique, releasing clones while quickly creating distance once again.

As soon as he left the tree trunk, he saw a venomous snake, as if lurking among the vines, bite the spot where he had just been standing.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Building, Kabuto Yakushi was in the Hokage's office.

He squatted in front of a locked bookshelf, holding a thin wire in his hand. He unlocked the lock, reached for a drawer, and immediately, chains of chakra burst forth from the bookshelf, bearing incomprehensible black runes, sealing the entire bookshelf shut.

"It's not that simple after all," Kabuto Yakushi sighed slightly.

After several unsuccessful attempts to break through by force, he adjusted his mindset and began to analyze the cipher text of the sealing technique, hoping to identify what kind of sealing technique it was and then break it.

However, just as he was studying the cipher, the door behind him opened.

Upon hearing the commotion, Kabuto immediately rolled over, holding a kunai, and looked warily at the two figures who had pushed open the door to the Hokage's office.

I don't know him!

Long before the Konoha Crush plan, Kabuto Yakushi had already infiltrated Konoha and had been lurking as a Konoha ninja for a long time. In addition, given his knowledge of Konoha's intelligence, it can be said that he knew almost every ninja in Konoha.

This applies at least to ninjas who don't need to hide their identities; however, it's a different story for the Anbu, Root, and the like.

"Who are you people?" Kabuto Yakushi asked in a deep voice.

"A Konoha ninja?" Zoro frowned slightly as he looked at Kabuto's headband. "Strange, with so much chaos happening in your village, why are you stealing things here?"

Robin, who was standing beside Zoro, calmly said, "Perhaps they are spies who have infiltrated the area, trying to take advantage of the chaos to obtain Konoha's confidential information or something of value. That's quite normal."

"Well, is it okay to cut him down?" Zoro said, placing his hand on the sword at his waist.

Before he made this move, Kabuto Yakushi did not sense any danger from the two people opposite him. Therefore, although he was vigilant, he did not feel any fear. He was even thinking about how to silence them.

But the moment Zoro placed his hand on his waist, Kabuto felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast.

Suddenly, his mind cleared. He didn't have time to think about Lord Orochimaru's orders. He stomped his foot hard, rolled over, smashed open the window behind him, and quickly escaped.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A flash of electricity crackled past Zoro's ear. He wasn't in a hurry at all. At his speed, letting Kabuto run five hundred meters ahead would be a piece of cake.

But just as he was about to make his move, Robin spoke up, "Don't do anything unnecessary; the Book of Seals is more important."

As she spoke, Robin looked at the bookshelf whose cursed seal had been activated by Kabuto Yakushi, pointed to the incantation on it, and said, "It's very likely inside. Cut it open."

With a flash of light, Zoro cut through the chakra chains of the seemingly solid sealing technique. Robin then crouched down, opened the bookshelf, and took out a huge scroll.

I glanced at it and saw the four large characters "The Book of Seals" pasted on the scroll.

"We don't know if it's a fake, but with our abilities and knowledge, we can't determine it. Let's just accept it for now." Robin picked up the Book of Seals and hung it on her lower back.

And you know what? With that big scroll hanging behind her, she really did have a bit of a ninja vibe.

Robin and her companions obtained the Book of Sealing, while at the same time, in the study of the Nara clan's patriarch, Nara Shikaku, within the clan's compound.

Wearing a black trench coat with red cloud patterns, a straw hat, and a veil that covered almost her entire body, Aien was searching for information about shadow magic among the books and scrolls on this wall.

As if she hadn't noticed, a dark shadow, appearing as a thin line, was silently approaching the shadow beneath Ain from under the door of the study behind her.

"No," Ain murmured softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the shadow that had slipped through the crack in the door merged with the shadow at her feet. At the same time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Nara Shikaku, holding a seal in his hand, walked in and said, "What are you looking for here, sir?"

The Shadow Binding Technique is not the Shadow Imitation Technique, so Nara Shikaku can move freely.

This technique allows him to forcibly control his enemy by linking his own shadow with the enemy's shadow.

He only came in because he felt that he had the other party's actions under control.

Nara Shikaku originally planned to go to the village to provide support as soon as the riot broke out, but after fighting with several Sunagakure ninjas for a short time, he sensed through a secret technique that his house was being invaded. Therefore, Nara Shikaku returned immediately and caught Ain red-handed.

"Nara Shikaku," Ain said slowly as she turned around.

Clearly, during her time infiltrating Konoha, she had gathered a great deal of information about the Nara clan and recognized them at a glance.

Her slow turn made Nara Shikaku very wary.

Something's not right, something's very wrong!

I clearly controlled this guy with my shadow, so why was he able to turn around so easily?!

It's as if my own skills have no effect at all.

Before Nara Shikaku's clever brain could figure out the situation, he noticed that the mysterious person's body was gradually turning into a shadow, as if it had become a shadow figure.

By the time Nara Shikaku reacted, Ain's true form had already stepped out of his shadow, holding a dagger to Nara Shikaku's neck.

Nara Shikaku, who had controlled his shadow his entire life, was now completely unable to move, as if he himself had been subjected to a shadow binding technique.

Ain reached out and felt around Nara Shikaku's lower back for a moment, then said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to carry this with you at all times? It seems you're quite confident in your abilities."

Normally, who would carry their secret manual around with them when they go out? They should find a place to hide it, otherwise, if someone kills them, they'll lose their equipment.

Isn't that aiding the enemy?

But for some reason, the most intelligent Nara Shikaku actually carried the scroll of their Nara clan's secret technique with him.
