"???"

Orochimaru widened his eyes, staring at the hand gripping his wrist, devoid of color and full of cracks.

This was an unactivated Impure World Reincarnation!

How could it move on its own?

This was illogical!

The dead summoned through Impure World Reincarnation were supposed to be immobile!

Not only Orochimaru was astonished, even the Third Hokage, standing opposite, widened his eyes, filled with confusion.

It seemed...

Something unexpected had happened.

Outside the barrier.

The ANBU commentary team, one after another, was horrified. They had just been informed about the abilities of Impure World Reincarnation and were marveling at Orochimaru's terror when they saw Orochimaru's failure!

Among the sound ninjas maintaining the barrier, each showed a hint of attention, focusing on the sudden unexpected event on the battlefield.

"Ying~"

The little elf Yingying Monster flapped its wings, enjoying the show from up close. Now that it had accepted the fact that it was a useless system, it could peacefully indulge in being cute!

As long as I'm utterly useless, no one can manipulate me!

Yingying Monster comforted itself...

"What's going on?"

Orochimaru's voice trembled slightly, his face covered in cold sweat in just a moment.

The jutsu of Impure World Reincarnation was not to be trifled with!

Immortality.

Endless chakra.

This was a weapon against enemies!

But...

Once things went awry...

The consequences were unimaginable!

At this moment, Orochimaru felt a bit of regret. He regretted using Impure World Reincarnation, realizing that brute strength alone might not have been enough to rival the Third Hokage.

Now, the situation on the battlefield had suddenly become delicate.

"Impure World Reincarnation."

Hashirama's voice sounded slowly, and his throat was still a little dry, but when he spoke, everyone listened carefully with their ears perked up.

"This jutsu has a risk."

As soon as Hashirama spoke, Orochimaru's face changed drastically. He vaguely realized that the situation he feared most might be about to change.

"brother, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the jutsu I've researched!"

Tobirama Senju, standing beside him, spoke discontentedly.

Because Orochimaru was being restrained, there were no kunai with seals inserted behind Tobirama's head.

"If the resurrected dead can perform hand seals, they can break the contract with Impure World Reincarnation!"

Ignoring Tobirama's dissatisfaction, Hashirama continued with the previous topic. This statement was a badass moment from the original Naruto series, spoken by Madara Uchiha.

But now it was brought by Hashirama!

He had became Hashirama.

At this moment, it was hard not to put on a show!

"This..."

In Tobirama's almost lifeless eyes flashed a hint of shock, then he fell into contemplation, starting to backtrack whether there was any issue with the forbidden jutsu he created.

"Hashirama-sama, even if that's the case, shouldn't you be unable to move now?"

Orochimaru was drenched in cold sweat, clearly feeling the divine power surging through his wrist, making it difficult for him to move.

He was familiar with Tsunade.

But this power surpassed Tsunade by countless times!

Too powerful!

"Young man."

Hashirama's gaze turned cold, his mentality had changed after completing the traversal.

Their positions had changed.

If he had started out as just a lowly Genin, he definitely wouldn't dare to provoke Orochimaru at this point.

"There's no perfect solution, don't use forbidden jutsu lightly!"

After Hashirama finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force on his wrist and threw Orochimaru out violently.

The burst of power instantly threw Orochimaru several meters away.

Crash!

Orochimaru heavily landed on the roof tiles, directly cracking them.

"So that's it!"

Tobirama snapped out of his thoughts. As a master of forbidden jutsu who had created countless forbidden techniques in his lifetime, with a little guidance, he quickly understood.

"brother, I never expected you to understand forbidden jutsu!"

Tobirama turned slightly, wanting to form hand seals, but his body's control was still lacking.

"Hey, bring that kunai here!"

Tobirama stared coldly at Orochimaru, who had fallen to the ground, speaking in a commanding tone.

"What an unfortunate jutsu!"

Orochimaru climbed up from the ground. The attack just now didn't cause him much harm, but it made him refrain from using Impure World Reincarnation recklessly for a while.

Forming hand seals.

Orochimaru swiftly completed the hand seals.

"Impure World Reincarnation, Release!"

Huff!

After Orochimaru formed the hand seals, dust fell from Tobirama's body, revealing the appearance of a Hidden Sound Village Genin, his soul ascending from the impure world.

"brother?"

The soul of Tobirama looked at Hashirama beside him, completely unaffected, his facial expression undergoing subtle changes.

"I finally came back to life, and I haven't had enough fun yet!" Hashirama's voice rang out lightly.

Whoosh!

The next moment.

The soul of Tobirama returned to the Pure Land.

"Yingying, the host is more powerful than I imagined!"

The little elf Yingying Monster flapped its wings and applauded with its hands.

It suddenly had a strange idea.

Perhaps mistaking the host wasn't such a bad thing after all!

Now it was filled with anticipation for this unpredictable script.

"What on earth is going on?!"

Orochimaru roared, unable to discern the situation clearly.

What was happening with the First Hokage?

Why was he able to move before the Impure World Reincarnation even began?

And why was he still here after the Impure World Reincarnation was released?

What was wrong with this technique?!

Actually, what made Orochimaru's scalp tingle the most was the First Hokage's earlier words. If he had acted faster, the Second Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation might have been released by now.

After all, the Impure World Reincarnation was invented by the Second Hokage; he couldn't possibly not know how to form hand seals.

"Orochimaru, I've warned you before, playing with time won't end well!" the Third Hokage said in a low voice.

The current situation made him feel a sudden relief, and he couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that when the First and Second Hokage emerged from their coffins earlier, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Let the path of rebirth begin!" Suddenly, Hashirama's voice rang out, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

Hum!

Hashirama's body suddenly trembled, and a terrifying surge of chakra rose from him.

Was this what chakra felt like?

Hashirama felt his body; his face showed no excitement. This amount of chakra was terrifying, but it felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he were carrying shackles and restraints on his body.

This was the impure body of the Impure World Reincarnation!

A glint of fierceness flashed in Hashirama's dark eyes. He couldn't rely on this useless system that only knew how to whine. He had to find a way to restore his own body.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

In an instant, cracks began to spread from Hashirama's feet, radiating outward like rays. Then, the shattered debris on the ground floated up in an anti-gravity manner, continuously rising, increasing the pressure within the barrier.

"Such powerful chakra!"

Both the Third Hokage and Orochimaru exclaimed in unison. They both took two steps back, their faces covered in cold sweat. They felt as if all the air was being pushed out and pressing down on them.

This was chakra without restraint!

For a moment, both the Third Hokage and Orochimaru felt confused, unsure which side this top-tier powerhouse was on.
