Chapter 25: Taste my techniques

Saru, you have a good seedling, make sure to grow him into a Hokage." The second Hokage said.

"His character seems a bit questionable... don't tell me he doesn't like fighting?" The first Hokage said, he was a fighting maniac, so he felt like men that didn't enjoy a good fight were easy to handle while the political and sneaky kind, hard to deal with.

"He doesn't want to be Hokage... but I'll try again." the third Hokage said as he saw how great Oden was faring against his former student.

"That's the last time I underestimate you..." Orochimaru said as he started making hand seals.

ODen was ready for that and simply created another Rasenyari, but this time he threw it.

Orochimaru saw what Oden did and was about to dodge but... the Rasenyari suddenly disappeared.

"Eh, hehehe don't tell me you can only succeed in that jutsu 50 percent of the time," Orochimaru said in a mock tone.

"No, I never fail, it's just that I infused lightning chakra into that Rasenyari," Oden explained with a smile.

"Huh?" Orochimaru said in confusion, not understanding what Oden meant by those words.

Suddenly he felt a great pressure on his stomach, as he looked down he saw that his stomach had completely disappeared, nothing was holding up his upper body as the upper body had been severed from the legs.

"I call it the vanishing Rasenyari," Oden said, not surprised by what had happened.

The three kages stopped their fight once again, staring wide-eyed at Oden.

Orochimaru was in two parts on the roof, he struggled to make hand signs barely succeeding, and he spit out another whole body.

Oden looked at Orochimaru, this time he looked very strained, pale, and tired. it seemed like the more damaged his body was, the harder it was to create a new body.

"That Jutsu seems very interesting..." Oden simply said silently. But the wind carried his words to Orochimaru and gave him shivers. He felt like a young child that was about to be kidnapped and experimented on by Oden.

Orochimaru's four underlings were utterly aghast that someone else than the third Hokage could defeat their master.

The jonin and chunin that had arrived outside the barrier since the beginning had witnessed everything and were equally Surprised.

War had taken over the streets of Konoha. Orochimaru had even summoned many gigantic snakes that were attacking Konoha.

The army of Suna was tricked as their kage had been killed, then Orochimaru pretended to be their kage to lead the attack.

All the different Clans were attacking and defending Konoha, as for the genin of the chunin exams, they were outside of Konoha where another great fight was taking place.

A gigantic toad had appeared and was fighting a big raccoon-looking thing. It looked like a tanuki made of sand.

If anyone knowledgeable saw it they would recognize it as the one-tailed chakra beast.

In Konoha, many thousands of shadow clones of Oden were running around and helping wherever they could. Although the Shadow clones didn't have the Mugengan and lacked the unlimited chakra levels, but they still had gigantic reserves equal to Odens without his Mugengan activated.

Oden saw that Orochimaru looked weakened so he attacked by clapping his hands infused with chakra, making a big shockwave shoot out towards Orochimaru.

As for the snake sanning, he felt something amiss and jumped upwards while spinning. Using the momentum of his spin, he lengthened his sword and used its momentum to cut Oden in half.

Oden wasn't expecting that and saw a blade reaching towards him at great speeds, he didn't have time to dodge, but suddenly a force from behind pushed him out of the sword's way.

Hiruzen used Enma in his staff form to lengthen the staff and push Oden out of harm's way

Oden landed safely and looked towards where he had stood before, and saw a big cut on the roof.

A big drop of sweat fell down his forehead as he realized that he was almost cut in two he had forgotten that the sword Orochimaru wielded could lengthen at will.

Maybe Orochimaru hadn't used its ability for just this reason.

"Tsk.. you survived that, I guess it's time to finish up here," Orochimaru said as he felt the chakra signature of his former teammate running towards his direction.

"I don't think so," Oden said as he started making hand signs.

Orochimaru also started making hand signs as he also signaled his underlings something.

Suddenly a big dome of water and flames started forming around Orochimaru. Then a big dome of wind and lighting started forming above that, until a big dome of earth formed above that one, totally enclosing Orochimaru in domes of elemental chakra.

"Five elements: Heaven and hell dome!" Oden shouted.

Although this dome was way smaller than the previous one he had created, its power was still great.

The first Hokage even flinched at the sight of this jutsu.

"I had hoped to never see this damned jutsu ever again..." The first Hokage said exasperated.

"It's an impressive jutsu, even more, so that he can create it on his own at that age..." The second Hokage said.

"Hmm... I suddenly feel very old." The third Hokage said, but his words didn't fit his bright smile as he looked very proud of Oden.

"Sasu... You have a good talent on your hands, don't waste it." The second Hokage said strictly.

"Don't worry teacher, I'm very fond of him, he reminds me of you. You don't have to sound so jealous, you also had a great student to inherit your will" The third Hokage said with a hint of pride, making the second Hokage twitch his brows.

"HAHAHA BROTHER He does have your strict 'I can't be bothered' look!" The first Hokage said while laughing, making the second Hokage release a ton of killing intent.

"Oh... I think it's time to say goodbye." The second Hokage said as he gave his elderly student a last look.

From under the dome, suddenly lots of smoke started coming out, as thick as foam.

The whole roof was starting to fill with this smoke making both Oden and Hiruzen vigilant.

Soon the whole barrier looked white because it was filled with smoke as thick as foam, and Oden canceled his dome jutsu as he felt Orochimaru had somewhat disappeared.

Then suddenly he felt a chakra signature rushing towards the third Hokage, and Oden followed.
