A foreigner's journey

At the highest point of the viewing platform, a fierce battle was going on in the barrier composed of four purple flame formations.

The overwhelming tree roots seemed to be alive, breaking through the eaves and the ground to attack the Sandaime Hokage from all directions.

The Sandaime Hokage jumped up high with a huge golden cudgel in his hand, puffed up his cheeks and spit out a fierce sea of ​​fire towards the active tree roots below.

[Fire Escape·The Art of Fierce Flames]!

The secret fire escape technique taught by the Sarutobi clan can only leave a shallow layer of scorch marks on the surface of the tree root, but it cannot affect the mobility of the tree root at all. These tree roots come from the blood inheritance limit of the first Hokage, "Wood Release Secret Technique: The Birth of the Tree Realm". The active forest where the caster's chakra is the source of life is completely controlled by the caster. It is a very powerful ninjutsu.

Seeing that the powerful flame technique could not control these trees, the third generation Hokage immediately formed a seal quickly, and the flames he spat out also changed state, from a ferocious sea of ​​fire to an extremely violent fire dragon. The fire dragon separated into three dragon heads, spraying with flames. Attack the First Hokage in the deepest part of the Living Forest.

At this moment, a water cannon suddenly shot out from the darkness, hitting three dragon heads in succession with incomparable precision. The water and fire escapes offset each other and evaporated into a large swath of blazing white mist.

The huge golden hoop in the hand of the Third Hokage suddenly spoke: "It is the water escape of the second generation Hokage. It can perform such a powerful water escape in an environment with no water source... Orochimaru has really perfected that technique."

Snap, the Third Hokage landed at the corner of the top floor of the viewing platform and frowned:

"Well, [Ultimate Earth Reincarnation]. This technique was originally created by the Second Hokage. I didn't expect that Orochimaru would use it to summon the First and Second Hokage and use it against me, the Third Hokage. How ironic."

In the distance, the figures of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage were faintly visible in the white mist. Their bodies are covered with dust and their eyes are indifferent. This is because the humanity of the two Hokages has been wiped out by Orochimaru using spells, and now they are completely puppets controlled by Orochimaru.

Outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, two Anbu were waiting impatiently. They didn't expect Orochimaru to be so despicable, using [Ultimate Earth Reincarnation] to summon the first and second generation Hokage to deal with the third generation Hokage. You must know that the Third Hokage is close to seventy years old. Time is not forgiving. Even if the dead summoned by the reincarnation of the dirty land cannot exert their original strength, the Third Hokage is still dealing with it very hard.

They turned to look at the direction of the stadium in the distance. The huge sand tanuki should be Shukaku, the tailed beast of Sunagakure Village. If it were allowed to invade the interior of Konoha Village, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, Uchiha Quick Slash came back in time and held back nearly a hundred enemy village ninjas and Shukaku. He truly deserves to be the war hero of Konoha Village who was once as famous as the Fourth Hokage, at the peak of his powers!

Inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, Orochimaru held a Kusanagi sword and jumped lightly onto a skewed stone pillar. He looked at the Sandaime Hokage from a distance: "Sarutobi-sensei, you are too old. Even Sarutobi Hiji, who once made the ninja world fearful, Even if you kill me, you can't withstand the erosion of time, which is really sad. But I am different, I have successfully broken through the shackles of time, and I am the freest person in this ninja world."

"Orochimaru……"

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, felt that the golden cudgel in his hand had never been so heavy. He was indeed too old. He could not even wield the golden cudgel that his companion, the monkey demon, had transformed into. He was exhausted after just performing a few ninjutsu. blow. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you still obsessed with that art? The taboo [Art of Immortality]. Why, why are you obsessed with immortality?"

"For everything. I want to have a longer time to learn all the ninjutsu and understand all the truth. The first man in the world to mix blue and yellow named the new color he saw ' Green'. That's what I want to be, that's all."

Orochimaru spread his arms and showed a sinister smile:

"If blue represents chakra and yellow represents seal, then green represents ninjutsu. Just as there are infinite types of colors, ninjutsu should also have thousands of forms in the world. For me, the life span of the physical body is Too short, even the Hokage loses everything as soon as he dies. Look at the two Hokages in front of me, how great and strong they were in life, but after death they can only be reduced to my pawns at my mercy. Only by living can you have everything.”

He raised the Kusanagi sword in his hand and pointed it at the Sandaime Hokage: "And you, Sarutobi-sensei, will die here meaninglessly today."

The Third Hokage suddenly smiled:

"You don't understand at all. Even if I get old and die, there will be a new Hokage who will lead Konoha Village to open a glorious new chapter. And that person will definitely not be you. I am very glad that I did not choose you to be the first Fourth Hokage, you will never be as good as Minato."

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth: "...What about Uchiha Speed ​​Slayer? Even if he secretly guessed your plan against the Uchiha clan, he is still fighting for this village. What a stupid person, not exactly what you like. What do you think of the ‘idiot’ Third Hokage?”

"Suzan is a great ninja, and he has the true spirit of Konoha in his heart."

"Hiss... Minato Namikaze was also fooled by your rhetoric back then, right? One or two of you are so stupid, so stupid that I want to kill you. But Uchiha Speed ​​Slayer doesn't seem to need me. Take action because he's going to die soon."

"With his quick slashing strength, even if he faces Shukaku, he has the strength to fight. Once I finish you off, I will help him."

"Hiss, Sarutobi-sensei, you don't understand at all. The reason why I 'joined forces' with Sunagakure Village instead of 'secretly controlling' is because there is a guy in Sunagakure Village who is stronger than Uchiha Speed ​​Slash."

Before he finished speaking, a huge beetle covered with an iron-colored carapace suddenly appeared in the sky outside the distant barrier. With just one blow, it smashed Quick Slash into the ground, causing the field inside the Four Purple Flame Formation to tremble violently. Trembling.

"Quick kill!?"

The Sandaime Hokage's face turned pale: "That, that's from Takigakure..."

Orochimaru stretched out his long slimy tongue and licked the corner of his mouth: "That's right, [Nanabi]. Now Konoha Village has to face not only hundreds of invading ninjas and Ichibi Shukaku, but you also have to deal with the lack of Uchiha Speed ​​Slash. With this fighting strength, we will face the second tailed beast. How about it, are you surprised?"

Orochimaru responded with a golden cudgel falling from the sky!

Bang! Orochimaru jumped back quickly, and a huge dent was made by the golden hoop at the previous position. The First Hokage and the Second Hokage also quickly approached the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage looked to both sides and couldn't help but make a decision in his heart. You must use [Ghost Seal]. Only this technique can seal Orochimaru and the two Hokage together. Suzan's life and death are unknown, and the matter of repelling the foreign enemies will probably be left to Danzo and Jiraiya. Danzo, don't let me down!

Bang! Bang! Two shadow clones appeared in front of the Third Hokage, and then they began to quickly form seals in the order of Si-Hai-Wei-Mao-Xu-Zi-You-Wu-Si. But just when the seal reached 'You', Orochimaru suddenly rushed towards him with a ferocious smile on his face: "Is this the order of the seals? It's what Paz said [Sealing the Ghosts]!" I won’t let you get what you want, Sarutobi-sensei!”

Orochimaru is getting closer and closer to the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage is about to complete the last seal. Very good, Orochimaru is not good at physical arts and cannot catch up with me. I can complete this technique...

Phew!

The Third Hokage's arms were cut off at the elbow level when he was about to complete the last '巳' seal, and a deep crack appeared in his chest and abdomen.

How is it possible? Orochimaru can't be that fast! The Sandaime Hokage spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt on the ground.

Orochimaru stood in front of him, his hands hanging by his sides, with a narrow and sharp bone knife protruding from the palms of each hand. The skin on his face fell off on its own, revealing a very young and unfamiliar face. Only his eyes still looked like Orochimaru's cold snake eyes. A cold laugh sounded in the ears of the Third Hokage:

"This is the 'Art of Immortality' that I am looking for. Please appreciate it, Sarutobi-sensei."
