Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Hashirama Senju's expression crumbled as he recalled the battle at the Valley of the End, and he said dejectedly, "Madara..."

"It seems to be just as I expected."

Seeing Hashirama Senju's expression, and realizing that the development of the ninja world would proceed as originally planned, Hagoromo Gengetsu felt a weight lifted from his heart.

In a good mood, he reopened old wounds:

"Not only Madara, but also the peace that you Five Kage keep pursuing."

"Hashirama, if the ninja world had remained peaceful since my death, would Konoha have needed to change its Hokage so frequently in just a few decades?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue pointed to the Fire Shadow Rock Wall not far away.

If the ninja world had truly always been at peace, Konoha would never have had so many new Hokage.

Hashirama Senju looked in the direction pointed by Hagoromo Gengetsu and saw the four giant heads on the Hokage Rock, his expression hardening.

He may be somewhat naive, but he is not stupid.

"Tobirama, is that so?"

Hashirama Senju asked his younger brother, who had also descended to the Underworld.

The ninja world during his lifetime was indeed peaceful.

However, he was unaware of the ninja world after his death.

Tobirama Senju glanced at the gloating Hagoromo Gengetsu beside him and was about to reply.

Orochimaru, who had been playing a background role, walked over and said calmly, "Enough of the old folks' chatter. Let's get down to business."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue's lips curled into a vicious smirk.

'Old man?'

He, who has always been called a young talent, is not used to being addressed as such by modern people.

Seeing Orochimaru come up behind him first, Hashirama Senju could only put aside his question and sigh, "So, it seems that fighting is inevitable in every era?"

Orochimaru responded politely to the legendary God of Shinobi:

"You like it very much, don't you?"

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious and said, "How dare you fool the dead, Orochimaru! Those who toy with time will not have a good end!"

Orochimaru smiled contemptuously, took out a control talisman, and made his attitude clear through his actions.

Sometimes, it's not a bad thing that the offerings for the Impure World Reincarnation are of poor quality.

For example now.

Hashirama Senju, who could only exert a small portion of his power, could not exert immense pressure on Orochimaru, the caster, simply by using the body of a White Zetsu to resurrect him without much effort, as he could in the future.

The same goes for Tobirama Senju.

As the developer of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he can break free from the jutsu's constraints like Madara Uchiha, but currently he can only unleash too little power to break free from Orochimaru's control.

So, they could only watch helplessly as Orochimaru inserted the talismans into their brains, his eyes darkening, and their souls were thus blocked.

Seeing his two old friends, whom he had only just met, unconscious, Hagoromo Gengetsu curled his lip and casually suggested to Orochimaru, who was walking towards him:

"Your name is Orochimaru, right? Now that you know who I am, you should understand that I am different from these two guys beside you."

"There's no need to control me. I'd be happy to destroy Konoha."

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were both unable to break free from the Edo Tensei at this moment, as was Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Although he had a backup plan, he wouldn't mind discussing a collaboration with Orochimaru.

After all, the power of the Edo Tensei body, whose consciousness has been erased, is still significantly weaker than that of the original Edo Tensei body.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and examined the man in front of him with great interest. This man was someone who had taken a lot of effort to find a flesh and blood sample, and who was said to be on par with the gods and had the highest talent.

This renowned figure, unlike the souls he had summoned from the underworld in the past who had angrily denounced him as "blasphemy" and constantly resisted, actually wanted to join his side.

Really

Interesting old man!

Chapter 16 The Reappearance of Netherworld Escape

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

“I dare not take a moment’s careless action against 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.

"Lord Hokage! 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.

But at this 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, who was 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 Escape - 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 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.

"Deep 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.
