Chapter 186 The time is just right

In the Konoha Village shrouded in sunlight, two powerful chakras are colliding violently.

The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's silver hair and beard fluttered in the wind, and he stared at Orochimaru opposite him with a sharp gaze.

The energy surging around the two people caused the air to produce distorted ripples that were visible to the naked eye.

"This...is this the legendary strength of the Three Ninjas?" An ANBU member wearing a fox mask had a trembling voice and unconsciously clenched the kunai in his hand tighter.

His companions beside him were also shocked: "The chakra of the Third Generation is so unfathomable..."

The ninjas watching outside the barrier all held their breath; the pressure of this master-disciple duel made it difficult for them to breathe.

High in the sky, Yu Xi crossed her arms across her chest, sparks of excitement dancing in her golden pupils.

"The duel between master and disciple is really exciting." She raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Orochimaru, please summon the legendary ninja quickly. I can't wait to meet him."

Kaguya Otsutsuki beside him covered her mouth lightly, her long silver hair gleaming in the moonlight: "This is the first time I've seen you so excited since the last war."

In the center of the battlefield, Orochimaru's pale face showed a faint smile: "Teacher, time will not be a reason for me to show mercy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed when he heard this, the will to fight burning in his eyes: "If your strength declines, I don't mind personally sending you back to the ninja school to retake the basic courses."

"Then please wait and see, teacher." Orochimaru's voice was as calm as water, but it revealed unquestionable confidence.

Before he finished his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already attacked like an arrow.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and the afterimages almost merged into one: "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, thousands of shurikens split in the air, forming a metal storm that covered the sky and the sun, and swept towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was not in a hurry. He put his hands together and made a seal: "Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!"

Suddenly, strange ripples appeared on the ground. Three coffins carved with ancient runes slowly rose from the ground, emitting a cold aura.

"You want to use summoning techniques to defend yourself?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed, and he immediately changed his tactics, "We must not let the third coffin fully emerge!"

He acted decisively and concentrated all his attacks on the third coffin.

However, fate seemed to have been determined.

No matter how he attacked, those heavy coffins still fell to the ground unstoppably, making a deafening roar.

With three dull thuds, the coffin lid began to slide open slowly, raising a cloud of gray dust.

As the fog gradually dissipated, three clearly defined figures gradually emerged.

On the left stands the greatest ninja god in the history of the ninja world - the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju. His iconic red armor glows with an ancient luster in the morning sun.

In the middle is the second-generation Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who is known as the "Grandmaster of Forbidden Techniques". Between his silver-white hair, one can vaguely see the lightning-shaped scar left when he developed the Flying Thunder God.

On the right, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village was looking down at his palm made of gold sand, with fine gold sand flowing between his fingers.

When the mist completely dissipated, Hashirama's deep gaze fell on his former disciple.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his deep and rich voice was filled with the gentleness of time: "Monkey, long time no see."

Senju Tobirama's sharp blue eyes swept across the wrinkled face of the Third Hokage and snorted, "It seems that you are old too, Sarutobi."

Luo Sha suddenly looked up, and his pupils under the gold sand contracted violently.

He looked around at the destroyed barrier, and memories came flooding back: "Wait... I was clearly killed by Orochimaru's assassination... Then who summoned me back from the Pure Land to the present world..."

The Fourth Kazekage's voice came to an abrupt end, and the yellow sand began to stir restlessly around him.

He looked down at his hands which were condensed from gold sand, then suddenly looked up at the two people beside him - the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

His throat rolled slightly, his voice hoarse and shocked: “They are?!”

He understood instantly.

Orochimaru used some forbidden technique to summon them back to the world from the Pure Land, who had long passed away.

However, before he could fully sort out his thoughts, a cold and powerful will surged into his mind like a tide.

His consciousness was suppressed and distorted in an instant, and finally sank completely into darkness.

Rasa's eyes suddenly became empty, and gold sand surged around his body, but it was no longer driven by his own will, but was completely under the control of Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his two former teachers, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "How ironic... I didn't expect to meet you again in this way."

Senju Tobirama's sharp eyes swept over Orochimaru and snorted coldly: "Immortality Reincarnation... It's you who used this forbidden technique to summon us, right?" His voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.

"It's really amazing that you can master this level of skills at such a young age."

Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his golden snake eyes flashing with a playful light: "It is an honor to receive praise from the Second Hokage."

Senju Hashirama crossed his arms across his chest, but his expression was much calmer than Tobirama's.

He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his tone filled with helplessness: "Monkey, it looks like we'll have to fight you."

At this moment, a golden flash suddenly appeared outside the barrier.

The figure of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared.

His deep blue eyes swept across the battlefield, and the golden hair under his forehead fluttered in the torrent of chakra.

"Minato-sama!" The Anbu knelt on one knee as if they had seen a savior, "Orochimaru used the forbidden Impure World Reincarnation to summon the First and Second Generations and them——"

Minato raised his hand to interrupt the report, cold sweat already seeping out of his palms.

He could feel the chakra surging within the barrier like a materialized tsunami.

The hunched back of the Third Hokage looked particularly frail under the pressure from four Kage-level warriors.

Just as he was about to form a seal, the air suddenly froze.

Click - click!

A teeth-grinding cracking sound came from above my head.

The Four Purple Flame Formation, which was said to be able to block the Tailed Beast Balls, actually cracked into spider web-like patterns out of thin air.

Namikaze Minato's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw the Third Hokage's knee slam into the ground, and Orochimaru's snake pupils shrank into thin lines out of horror.

Senju Hashirama's Wood Release Chakra was disrupted for the first time. Veins popped out on his forehead as he looked at his brother: "Tobirama, could it be..."

"No doubt about it." The Flying Thunder God Kunai in the Thousand Hands Tobirama's palm trembled violently.

The next second, Yuxi appeared.

The air seemed to freeze.

The shattered pieces of the barrier were suspended in mid-air, reflecting distorted light and shadows.

Yu Xi stood in the air, his golden pupils overlooking the battlefield, the smile on his lips becoming deeper and deeper.

"It's so lively!" Her voice was light, but it carried a suffocating sense of oppression.
