Chapter 16: The Return of the Dark Escape

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

"I don't dare to take a great ninja like you lightly."

Snakes are cold animals.

Orochimaru would rather believe in himself than in others.

Not wanting anything to go wrong when communicating with his most beloved teacher, he took out another charm and stuffed it into Hagoromo Gengyue's head without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yuroromo Xuanyue could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

"Modern ninjas don't even give a little trust, they really go back to life. Forget it!"

Hagoromo Xuanyue, who had limited strength and could not resist, calmly accepted all this.

There are still opportunities ahead, so he is not in a hurry.

Just like Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, Hagoromo Genzuki's eyes quickly dimmed, and the dirty earth body was completely controlled by Orochimaru.

Although her consciousness is blocked, Hagoromo Xuanyue can still passively perceive everything in the outside world at this moment, but cannot control her body.

"Finish!"

Orochimaru on the side looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, formed a seal with his hands, and said with a smile to his teacher:

"Enjoy it, Sarutobi-sensei."

The words fell.

Between the Thousand Hand Pillars and the Thousand Hand Gate, Hagoromo Xuan Yue first took a few steps slowly.

Soon, as if they had adapted, the three of them moved instantly, and with the sound of shattering tiles under their feet, they turned into three extremely fast black lines and rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama! Be careful!"

Seeing that his Third Hokage still seemed a little sad and absent-minded, the ANBU ninja outside the barrier quickly reminded him loudly.

"I know."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly came to his senses, took a deep breath to reply, and quickly glanced at the three people running from three directions.

Whoosh!

A kunai shot out quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tilted his head, and just as he dodged it, Senju Hashirama arrived first, clenched his fist with five fingers, and swung it out with all his strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen dwarfed, twisted his hands on the ground, and kicked his right foot violently, forcing Senju Hashirama back.

Before he could take a breath, Senju Tobirama appeared behind him.

Bang bang bang.

After several quick exchanges, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who seized the opportunity, clasped one of Senju Tobirama's arms with both hands and threw him away.

But at this moment.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils suddenly shrank, Hagoromo Genzuki appeared next to him like a ghost.

There was no time to react.

He only felt a huge force crushing his chest.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth in pain, his old body shrank, and his whole body retreated as fast as a cannonball.

Hagoromo Genzuki, as well as Senju Hashirama who had readjusted, Senju Tobirama followed closely without giving them a chance to breathe.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was flying upside down, endured the pain and quickly formed seals with his hands.

The next second, a violent fire dragon spurted out from his mouth, and the blazing flames covered the chasing Yuroromo Xuanyue and the others.

Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the huge flames, Hagoromo Xuanyue among the three took a step forward, calmly stretched out his right hand and said:

"Ming Escape·Suck the hole!"

The extremely turbulent fire dragon seemed to have encountered a terrifying black hole, scrambling to burrow into the palm of Hagoromo Xuanyue's right hand.

In an instant, the flames soaring into the sky were no longer visible.

Only a slight wisp of smoke rose from Hagoromo Xuanyue's palm, proving what had just happened.

"What is this?"

The ANBU ninjas watching the battle watched all this in stunned silence.

They never expected that the Third Hokage's powerful fire escape ninjutsu could be neutralized so easily.

"Deep Escape!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at the expressionless Hagoromo Genzuki.

Different from modern people's one-sided understanding of past history, as the third generation Hokage, he still knew the power of someone who could compete with the Five Shadows, and even the first generation Hokage regarded him as a powerful enemy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect that Orochimaru could even summon Hagoromo Gengetsu.

If you add the first generation, the second generation Hokage and Orochimaru himself.

I'm afraid next.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a deep gloom in his heart.

There was no room for him to think any more.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet."

At this time, Hagoromo Genzuki returned the ninjutsu he had just absorbed.

"What a powerful talent."

Watching all this, Orochimaru's long tongue licked his lips excitedly.

Chakra, as geniuses, he has always admired the two of them.

One is the second-generation Hokage, who gave him a lot of inspiration for forbidden arts and whom he also admired immensely.

The second is Hagoromo Genzuki, who has developed many blood inheritance limits and whose talent surprised even himself.

Unfortunately, after so many years of searching, only a few tissue cells of Hagoromo Gengyue were found.

It would be great if we could get more flesh and blood from the opponent to study it.

I heard that after Hagoromo Gengetsu died, Senju Hashirama returned his legacy to the Hagoromo clan.

However, decades later, the Hagoromo clan had mysteriously disappeared into the ninja world, and they could not be found even if they tried to find them.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru shook his head regretfully and returned his attention to the scene.

Seeing the monstrous flames sweeping in, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath:

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"

A huge wall of solid earth rose from the ground in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, blocking out the fire dragon flames.

"Water Release·Water Breaking Wave!"

Senju Tobirama responded decisively.

Ultra-high-pressure water jets spurted out from his mouth, like an extremely sharp scalpel, quickly cutting into pieces the earth flow wall lying in front of him.

The disintegrated earth wall collapsed not long after.

Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged and was about to escape the aftermath.

Snap!

A loud clapping of hands exploded in his ears.

Immediately afterwards

"Wood Release·The Sea of ​​Trees is born!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around with a change of expression, and saw a large number of trees rising from the ground when Senju Hashirama clapped his hands.

In an instant, a dense forest covered the entire barrier.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in it, wanted to escape, but he saw a large number of root trees and vines wrapping around him rapidly from all directions.

Coupled with Hagoromo Genzuki and Senju Tobirama, they were putting pressure on him.

Without noticing, Sarutobi Hiruzen was caught by a vine around his ankle, and then his whole body was tightly wrapped around a large number of trees, making him unable to move.

Seeing this, Senju Hashirama loosened his hands.

Outside the barrier, the ANBU ninjas watching all this were worried about the Third Hokage, but they couldn't help but exclaimed:

"It's amazing! Is this the legendary Wood Release that the first Hokage, who quelled the troubled times and founded Konoha, possessed?"

Tread, tread, tread.

Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Hagoromo Genzuki came to Sarutobi Hiruzen with expressionless faces.

Orochimaru also followed and said with a faint smile:

"I finally caught you, teacher."

Hearing this, an imperceptible fluctuation flashed through the depths of Hagoromo Xuanyue's unwavering eyes.

"You don't want to open champagne at halftime."

Although he couldn't control his body at all, the real Hagoromo Genzuki, who witnessed everything just now like a bystander, smiled slightly in his heart.

That's fine too.

The real opportunity that I have been waiting for will soon arrive.
