Alone and Infinite

Seeing the message that Heitan sent in the team channel once again, Li Xia didn't delay any longer.

"The Hidden Cloud Village has arrived, and the Hidden Mist Village ninjas have also come!"

Although I don't understand why the Land of Water would get involved for no reason.

However, the current situation is clearly becoming increasingly unfavorable for Konoha.

Li Xia ripped off his cloak, transforming his identity!

Let's start helping Konoha!

"Orochimaru"

The Third Hokage looked at his disciple, his voice low, his expression hidden beneath his Hokage hat.

"So, you hate Konoha that much, that you hate me so much that you'd rather see Konoha destroyed than not seek revenge?"

"revenge?"

Orochimaru suddenly laughed, an exaggerated laugh, and shook his pale finger.

"No, no, no, old man, you misunderstand me. I've always liked moving things since I was a child, and I find things that don't move boring."

Konoha now resembles a windmill that never turns.

I'm going to get it spinning again!

"Is that so? I see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze gradually sharpened; how could someone as experienced and wise as him not understand what Orochimaru meant?

"I'll make amends for my mistake and kill you right here!"

"If you can do it, old man."

Orochimaru chuckled softly, his eyes filled with anticipation, and said in a low voice:

"The warm-up is over, and I'm eager to let you show me my research results."

Research findings?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious. The reason he expelled Orochimaru from the village was not only due to some other reasons, but also because his disciple's research was becoming increasingly terrifying.

He was no longer satisfied with ordinary experiments and began to step into forbidden territory, even starting to study the soul.

so.

"Predecessor Hokage???"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at the two coffins summoned by Orochimaru, only to find unexpected figures emerging from them.

Especially the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju; even just looking at his face, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt an overwhelming sense of unease.

Shame, anger, and a host of other complex emotions combined to give rise to the flames of rage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had never felt such an urgent urge to kill Orochimaru as he did now.

"To fool the dead is unforgivable!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

The raging flames formed a scorching fireball that shot straight toward the opponent's figure.

The intense heat scorched the surrounding air, causing the scenery around the fireball to distort.

But the figure opposite seemed to be frozen in fear, not flinching at all, and just stood there blankly.

The Sand Village's special Jonin had a fierce look in his eyes as he continuously channeled his chakra to maintain the flames.

"Die, you remnants of Konoha!"

The enormous fireball engulfed the figure, but then suddenly began to tremble and eventually broke free from its control.

It formed a huge vortex of fire, spinning wildly.

"What's going on?"

The squad's genin had never seen the Great Fireball Technique transform into such a strange form before.

"The captain's newly developed ninjutsu? That's amazing!"

One of the genin couldn't help but cheer, only to suddenly notice that the captain's face had turned somewhat pale.

To the astonishment of the Sand Ninja, the vortex of flames suddenly converged towards the center, eventually blooming like a giant lotus flower of fire.

The figure emerged from the center of the flower, surrounded by scorching flames like docile pets.

Step forward, turn sideways, and throw a punch!

The flames condensed in an instant, as if drawn by an invisible force, forming a solid pillar of fire that burst forth from the fist.

[Defeat a Sand Village genin and gain 10 points]

[Defeat a Sand Village Special Jonin, gain 200 points]

Li Xia withdrew his fist, looked at the shimmering golden sun ring on his black glove, and nodded in satisfaction.

I must say, this set's fire control effect is really good; at least fire-style techniques are useless against me.

I glanced at the score on the panel.

I went back to my hometown for a wedding today, and the banquet didn't start until 7:30. I almost missed the update!

Chapter 283 Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword VS Golden Cudgel

Ninjutsu surged wildly within the barrier, with water-style ninjutsu creating giant waves several meters high, only to be blocked by the rock walls raised by earth-style ninjutsu.

The Fire Release technique ignited the branches generated by the Wood Release technique, making the air inside the barrier even hotter.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on two figures, one red and one blue, not far away, like those of an eagle.

The scorching air distorted the view, making the two figures opposite appear even more vivid.

It was as if they had truly come back to life.

The sturdy armor felt like a clay pot, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt like food trapped inside.

The fine beads of sweat on his forehead clumped together and slid down his forehead.

He licked his dry lips and only uttered a few cold, low sounds:

"Orochimaru"

"Teacher, I'm here. I don't know what you think of my work."

Orochimaru, with a smug and sinister smile on his face, also spoke softly:

Are you satisfied?

"Desecrating the dead! Playing with souls!"

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and his hands quickly formed the five seals: Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei.

"If I had known you were conducting this kind of experiment, I would have killed you without hesitation from the very beginning!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly crouched down and slapped the ground with one hand:

"Psychic art!"

Amidst the thick smoke, the Monkey King, Ape Demon, with his arms crossed, appeared, wearing a tiger-skin coat and sporting a full head of white hair.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a low shout:

"Ape Demon! The Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

Holding the iron rod of the ape demon in one hand, he swung it a few times, and the resulting shockwaves directly blew away the surrounding hot air.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared angrily and said, word by word:

"It's not too late now!"

Orochimaru's smile vanished, and he looked at the staff in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand with a hint of apprehension.

Possessing an indestructible body, it can go toe-to-toe with the Kusanagi sword. During battle, it can switch forms locally as needed and can also use ninjutsu by forming hand seals.

The legendary strongest summoning beast.

As if struck by a sudden thought, Orochimaru raised his eyebrows again and put away the two kunai covered in runes that he had already taken out.

He smiled sinisterly.

"Teacher, I originally wanted to show you more things, such as the first and second generations of further liberation."

But then I suddenly remembered something.

What tricks is Orochimaru up to this time?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was about to rush forward, stopped in his tracks, staring at Orochimaru with a gloomy look in his eyes, his brain working rapidly.

"A friend asked me to have a match with you so that I can see what kind of strength you, the 'Ninja World Doctor' and the former strongest ninja in the world, really have."

Orochimaru also bit his finger, pulled out a scroll from behind him, and with a flick of his wrist, the scroll unfurled in the air on its own.

His finger traced a long, bloody line across the scroll covered in densely packed runes.

"Psychic art!"

Another thick cloud of smoke rose up, and a figure appeared vaguely in the smoke.

"As agreed, the rest is up to you."

Orochimaru wore a peculiar smile, quite excited.

It seems like there's going to be a good show coming up, as for Li Xia's black, shoulder-length hair and dark brown eyes.

He didn't care at all about the changes in appearance.

As a member of Konoha fighting against the Third Hokage, what's wrong with disguising yourself?

There were also members of the secret service watching from outside.

Orochimaru took a few steps back and simply sat down on the tree root summoned by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

At this moment, the arrival of the Tree Realm had transformed the rooftop into a jungle.

The two resurrected Hokage walked stiffly and blankly behind Orochimaru, like two bodyguards.

Orochimaru sat up straight and raised one pale arm.

"Please begin your performance."

Li Xia withdrew his gaze and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing not far away, his right eye flashing with blue light.
