At this moment, the time countdown in the Golden List Ranking Challenge arena has long since returned to zero.
But neither Orochimaru nor Hiruzen attacked.
Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen with a smile on his face.
And Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with a complicated expression.
After a long silence, Hiruzen finally broke the silence first.
"Orochimaru, I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances."
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other and chatted for years."
"You came to challenge me, are you going to chat with this old man in this way?
Hiruzen said.
Hearing this, Orochimaru let out a laugh like a snake sticking its tongue out.
"Hehehe, you don't look like an old man."
Hiruzen has returned to his peak form in the challenge arena of the Golden List.
At this moment, in Orochimaru's eyes, Hiruzen is just a middle-aged man in his 40s, and he can't hook up with an old man at all.
Orochimaru licked his lips and said:
"Teacher, do you really think I'm here to chat with you?"
"The legendary strongest Hokage can't be so naive right?"
Hearing Orochimaru calling himself the strongest Hokage, Hiruzen frowned.
If it was before, he probably wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But through the golden list, the world has long known that he, the 'strongest' Hokage, has a false reputation.
Above him, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
Which of them is not stronger than him?
Even Hiruzen himself does not feel that he is stronger than those three.
Even against his junior, the Fourth Hokage Minato, Hiruzen was not confident enough to beat him.
Minato has the blessing of the Flying Thunder God Technique and is also familiar with Forbidden Techniques such as the Reaper Death Seal.
This means that even if Hiruzen wants to deal with Minato with the Reaper Death Seal, there is no way.
After all, he can't be faster than Minato who can use Flying Thunder God.
Naturally, it's impossible to catch Minato while using the Reaper Death Seal.
In such a situation, Orochimaru still mentioned "the strongest Hokage", which made Hiruzen feel a little annoyed.
"Tell me your purpose, Orochimaru."
"Challenging me at this time, do you want to take revenge on me?"
"Or is it for the scheduled reward?"
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at Orochimaru with a cold glint.
"Hehe, other people don't know me, don't you know me the best, teacher?"
Orochimaru opened his hands, not responding at all to the cold light in Hiruzen's eyes.
"20 years of life', what a wonderful schedule reward.
"If I can study its secrets, isn't it equivalent to being able to live forever?"
Speaking of immortality, Orochimaru looked a little crazy.
Although he can prolong his life by replacing his body.
But this method will consume his soul after all.
In the long run, he may become unable to use the reincarnation technique again due to excessive loss of soul.
Therefore, the scheduled reward of '20-year longevity' is very important to him.
"Eternal life?" Hiruzen shook his head, "Do you think the scheduled reward given by the Golden List is something you research with your ability?"
'20 years of longevity, this may not be a practical reward, but it's an elusive energy that will be directly integrated into your body.
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Orochimaru shrugged:
"Hehe, this is just a side-word of yours, Teacher."
"If you don't try, you won't get anything."
Having said this, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and his hands clasped together to start the knot.
The small talk was over, and he was no longer planning to have a conversation with Hiruzen.
Of course, he ended the conversation so abruptly because he was aware of the underground movement.
Sure enough, Orochimaru had just put his hands together and had not had time to finish all the seals.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly burst.
A strong hand stretched out from the ground, grabbed Orochimaru's feet, and rushed towards the ground.
'Sha!'
Using a clone to sneak attack Orochimaru, and use the 'Decapitation Technique' to pull Orochimaru into the ground.
The real body of Hiruzen seeing it also made his move and rushed towards Orochimaru's location.
