Chapter 93: Sarutobi's Secret Weapon

Within the formation, they unite against a common enemy. For Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru wants him dead, and Uchiha Sasuke aims to destroy the Sarutobi clan. Both are his enemies. Thus, he must fight them both.

For Orochimaru, killing Sarutobi Hiruzen was his initial plan, with Uchiha Sasuke being his intended vessel for reincarnation ninjutsu. Uchiha Sasuke could pose an obstacle. So, he must fight them both.

For Sasuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen was his original target. Regarding Orochimaru, his control over strange ninjutsu and the summoning of the dead is highly bothersome. Sasuke needs Orochimaru to further study the curse seal but intends to replace him eventually. Orochimaru's intent to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen conflicts with Sasuke's goal, so he must be stopped. Therefore, Sasuke must fight both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru.

Beyond the barrier, Jiraiya was baffled. The situation was chaotic, with three individuals fighting in a melee. Jiraiya could not comprehend the current state. Which side does Uchiha Sasuke belong to? Earlier, Sasuke's exclusion of him from the barrier led Jiraiya to suspect an alliance with Orochimaru. But now, Orochimaru's control over the Second Hokage to combat Sasuke adds to the confusion.

Ohnoki remarked, "Don't just Jiraiya, I'm confused too. Sarutobi, Orochimaru, Uchiha Sasuke, all seem to be targeting each other."

The Fourth Raikage added, "A complete melee between the three... I can't predict the outcome."

Tsunade emphasized, "Regardless of the outcome, Orochimaru will bear the blame."

Senju Tobirama speculated, "Uchiha Sasuke likely did this on purpose, making it look like he's cooperating with Orochimaru to blame him later."

Within the barrier, Senju Tobirama, controlled by Orochimaru, faced Sasuke. Sasuke, adhering to his fighting habits, focused with his left eye. Complicated information inundated his mind. "The enemy is in a special state, manifested on a living sacrifice with the soul's possession, with an immortal body, and infinite Chakra… Senju Sage Body… Tsk, there's something missing that can't be copied."

Sasuke shook his head. "He wants the Sage Body, but it cannot be copied."

Although Sasuke doesn't favor the Magnet Style much, he can copy it. 

Senju Tobirama recognized the hexagram pattern in Sasuke's eyes. "You've indeed awakened Mangekyō Sharingan!" 

Sasuke acknowledged with a chuckle, "Yes, thanks to Orochimaru's revelations about the Uchiha genocide. Otherwise, I couldn't have awakened the Mangekyō."

Orochimaru fumed internally, "Uchiha Sasuke, you little... Shouzuru's appearance in the Sarutobi clan must be Sasuke's doing, with Uchiha's Flame Array as proof. Now, he blames me for revealing the truth about the Uchiha genocide. What is he up to?!"

Senju Hashirama, shocked, questioned, "The Uchiha clan is exterminated? What happened?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, infuriated, gritted his teeth. Orochimaru, a traitor, used the Uchiha's genocide to provoke Uchiha Sasuke to awaken the Mangekyō and join in an alliance for revenge on Mu!

Orochimaru quickly intervened, controlling Senju Hashirama's form. "First Hokage, let's focus on the battle."

With a growing bad premonition, he knew he needed to kill Sarutobi sensei and retreat swiftly once the objective was met.

Senju Tobirama coldly remarked, "So, the Uchiha clan is exterminated? They really are an evil clan to end up like this."

Sasuke retorted angrily, "Evil!?" and lunged toward Senju Tobirama, collapsing the roof below him. "Such strength…," Senju Tobirama's eyes widened, realizing the power surpassed their clan's strange strength.

Swiftly sealing, Senju Tobirama employed the "Dark Line Technique!"—an illusion targeting Uchiha eyes, throwing the caster into darkness and cutting off their vision.

Approaching Sasuke from behind in the darkness, Senju Tobirama found that Sasuke suddenly turned and struck him, causing the resurrected body to explode into paper fragments.

"Is this the immortal body? Troubling," Sasuke noted, watching the pieces reform into Senju Tobirama. Tobirama, more wary, realized Sasuke wasn't affected by his technique but pretended not to notice him to counter-attack effectively. How did he perceive him? Noticing Sasuke's eye shadow, he concluded, "Senjutsu? You mastered Sage Mode!"

Though not a Sage himself, Tobirama understood Sage arts enhanced sensory perceptions. Suddenly, Sasuke vanished and reappeared beside him, pinning him to the ground. Realizing that striking the immortal body only shattered it, he opted for physical restraint.

But Sasuke overlooked Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique, soon discovering himself beside a reappeared Tobirama, who noted, "You've learned my Flying Thunder God Technique?" Identifying the curse mark Sasuke left during the Dark Technique attack, Tobirama felt a headache. Mangekyō Sharingan, immense power, Sage Mode, Flying Thunder God—Sasuke posed a more formidable challenge than his old nemesis, Uchiha Izuna.

Sasuke was also frustrated looking at Senju Tobirama. Dealing with an enemy who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique was too troublesome!

The Fourth Raikage said, "The person who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique is finally disgusted by the person who also masters the Flying Thunder God Technique, well deserved!"

Namikaze Minato added, "Even if you have also mastered time and space ninjutsu, it is very troublesome to deal with another person who has mastered time and space ninjutsu. The result is very likely that no one can do anything to anyone."

Uchiha Obito thought, "Minato-sensei must be talking about him..."

Sasuke quickly figured out a countermeasure. "I won't fight with you anymore!" he decided. It was difficult for him to control the Second Hokage who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it was also difficult for the opponent to attack him. In this case, he would abandon this target and attack other people.

Sasuke's eyes glowed, and the huge chakra turned into a substantial chakra giant—Susanoo! Sasuke directly opened to the second form this time. The terrifying purple chakra giant stood within the barrier of the Four Purple Flames!

"This, this is..." Sarutobi Hiruzen's scalp tingled. Susanoo... Uchiha Sasuke had even mastered Susanoo! He saw the terrifying purple giant turn and stare at him. "Die for me!" Sasuke's Susanoo held two long chakra swords and threw them at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Boom! The roof was chopped off by the two long knives, creating two intersecting terrifying cracks! 

Sarutobi Hiruzen jumped into the air, seeing the terrifying power, and swallowed nervously. Susanoo was really scary! Sarutobi Hiruzen landed on the ground, holding a Vajra stick in his hand and aiming at Sasuke's Susanoo. "Stretch, Ape!" he yelled.

The black Vajra stick began to extend rapidly and soon hit the purple giant. This was the move that Sarutobi Hiruzen had used to deal with the Nine Tails during the Nine Tails Night! The purple giant was pushed back by the Vajra stick and had already retreated to the edge of the barrier.

"Phew, it's very powerful," Sasuke thought. "It seems that you can't treat the Third Hokage as useless." Sasuke controlled Susanoo and manipulated its arm to grab the extended Vajra Rod suddenly, then held it up high!

"What?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically! His body was carried by the Vajra Stick, and they rose into the air together.

Boom! Susanoo smashed the Vajra Stick to the ground violently. "Puff!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was hit hard and stabbed into the ground, vomiting blood from his mouth. He never thought his trick could be countered like this!

Sasuke's Susanoo continued holding the extended Vajra Stick and swept across the barrier of the Four Purple Flame Formation. Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, or the two reanimated Hokages, they could only dodge in embarrassment at this moment.

Boom! Terrifying crackling sounds echoed from the roof! The roof had been destroyed in a large area, and many places had collapsed.

Suddenly, the Vajra Stick in Susanoo's hand turned into white smoke. The ape demon was forced to cancel the Summoning, lost.

Jiraiya commented, "The old man's trick was broken like this..."

Orochimaru noted, "While the Vajra Rod held up against Susanoo, it also meant that Susanoo could grab the Vajra Rod and use it directly as a weapon!" At this point, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen and Susanoo competing for strength. The result was obvious... how could he be better than Susanoo?

Onoki remarked, "Tsk tsk, Sarutobi is probably going to die now."

The Fourth Raikage added, "I remember that in the previous silver frame world, the Third Hokage seemed to use a Forbidden Technique to seal Orochimaru's hands, right?"

Namikaze Minato confirmed, "That's right, but after using the Ghoul Seal, you must also sacrifice your soul to the Shinigami."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, standing in the arena, had a darkened expression. In another world, his clan had been wiped out by Uchiha Sasuke! If he could kill Uchiha Sasuke with ghouls, that would be a good result...

"Uchiha Sasuke... Orochimaru!" Sarutobi Hiruzen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Sasuke and Orochimaru with cold eyes. These two bastards! One wanted to kill his clansmen, the other was coming to kill him! Then, he would kill them both!

Even if he had to risk his life today, he would kill these two bastards. Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, quickly formed a hand sign, and then clapped his hands together. "The ghouls are sealed!" he announced.

A howling wind began as the channel between the underworld and reality opened. A terrifying existence began to emerge from the netherworld.

"What is this?!" Orochimaru felt his soul tremble. Ahead, an illusory huge spirit body emerged in the air! It had long white hair, red pointed horns, a dagger in a big bloody mouth, outstretched arms, and a white robe. A terrible grin emanated from the mouth of this terrifying spirit body.

What was this?! Sasuke also felt an ultimate threat from this spirit body. This illusory spirit could definitely pose a fatal threat to him! Sasuke's left eye activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the pupil technique was triggered. "E..." Sasuke suddenly covered his left eye as a line of blood and tears fell. The pain in his left eye was unprecedented. Sure enough, this strange spirit was extremely dangerous!

Information about this spirit body flooded into his mind. "The Shinigami that exists in the underworld has a different space in its body that can store souls. It will take away the soul of others according to the summoner's will, but in the end, it will also take away the soul of the summoner..."

Sasuke understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's ninjutsu. It was a life-for-life technique, sacrificing his soul to die with himself and Orochimaru. "Uchiha Sasuke, join me if you don't want to die!" Orochimaru controlled the two reanimated Hokages and, together with himself, launched a crazy attack on Sarutobi Hiruzen. This ninjutsu was too dangerous! He couldn't care about Uchiha Sasuke now. It was best for both of them to join hands and kill Sarutobi Hiruzen as soon as possible!

Sasuke frowned, looking at the Shinigami, thinking. Orochimaru cursed silently and continued to attack Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. No matter what the Forbidden Technique was, as long as the caster died, it should be breakable!

Suddenly, Sasuke moved! With the help of the Flying Thunder God technique left on Senju Tobirama, he flashed to Sarutobi Hiruzen and delivered a punch bursting with strange power to Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest. Then, Sasuke grabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen directly, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and instantly disappeared from the barrier of the Four Purple Flames!

The Shinigami looked at the disappearing caster, a little dazed.
