Chapter 15

Yudao's wide smile sent a chill down Orochimaru's spine, and a bad, very bad feeling arose.

"Orochimaru, Nukenin from Konoha," the Sannin answered without prevarication, but at the word "Nukenin" his voice became noticeably heavier.

He didn't know what Yudao's character was, but he reasonably believed that he did not have good feelings for Konoha, for a very obvious reason.

Although Hashirama's presence gave him confidence. He was ready to pit the Senju against the Mizukage as soon as something went wrong.

- Nukenin from Konoha? Wonderful, simply wonderful," Yudao did not stop smiling, and then, for no apparent reason, he turned his gaze to the resurrected First Hokage, "such Hashirama does not have even a tenth of his true strength, it's more like a puppet, look...

After these words, he snapped his fingers carefree.

Rust!

With the sound of paper being torn.

Under the intense gaze, Hashirama's body shattered into pieces.

"I couldn't avoid a simple attack without a personality," Yudao clicked his tongue and shook his head with pity.

When!

Marvelous!

Kekkei Genkai?

A chill ran down Orochimaru's spine from the realization that he had not sensed any chakra around the First Mizukage at all.

On the contrary, the faces of Mei and Ao reflected awe. According to the legends of Kirigakure, Yudao has a kind of summoning of an unknown creature, inaccessible to the gaze of the vast majority of shinobi.

Most likely, it was this creature that just tore the body of the resurrected Hashirama to shreds!

- Well, why worry so much about a trivial trick. It can be dimly seen by almost anyone with a Dojutsu such as the Byakugan or Sharingan. And the kids behind you will also feel the presence if they use that strange chakra..." Yudao said with a teasing smile, looking first at Sannin and then at the Sound Four behind him.

At the same time, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at the thought that the First Mizukage was referring to his Cursed Seal.

Did you even feel that?

"If you need something, just say it," the renegade began to guess about something, noticing Yudao's interested look at the Sound Four behind him.

- Oh, this is just in time! Do you mind if I borrow some chakra, otherwise I'm pretty hungry? – Yudao nodded condescendingly in response to Sannin's proposal.

Why did he feel strong excitement, because who, if not the creator himself, knows how strong and destructive the Cursed Seal is. Well, he simply ignored the nonsense about being hungry and so on.

From the moment of resurrection until now, Orochimaru never took his eyes off Yudao for a second, looking for flaws and side effects of immortality.

But he was unable to find any side effects... The body did not show even the slightest sign of weakness, nor did the spiritual strength, as if the First Mizukage had woken up after a sound sleep.

Even if Yudao had not yet made any serious moves, Orochimaru still felt a terrifying ocean of power seething within him.

That is why he took the righteous path!

Then he licked his lips in anticipation and thought to himself, remembering what was said in the secret archives of Konoha: "There is also a Kekkei Genkai that absorbs any energy? Interesting..."

You might be lucky enough to see him too!

From the glances of the two big men, a chill ran down the backs of the Sound Four, and their hearts were filled with sadness and complaints about the heavy burden.

Every minute they became more and more convinced that coming here was a mistake... a big mistake.

But no matter what thoughts were spinning in the heads of the Sound Four, their feet still obediently walked forward.

"Just activate that power to its fullest," Yudao asked politely.

He noticed something very interesting during the last battle with Madara and Hashirama, but was sealed before he could check it, and now a good opportunity had come.

The members of the Sound Four first looked at each other, and then turned a questioning glance to Orochimaru, in response to which he calmly nodded, and they immediately activated the Cursed Seals.

Boom!

After activation, an ominous black mark, overflowing with cold energy, covered the bodies of the Sound Four with a monotonous pattern. The patterns were different for each one, but the chakra jumped up equally from the level of about average to elite Chuunin!

Mei and Ao's faces changed sharply from what they saw; they did not expect that Orochimaru had hidden such a trump card in advance.

After thinking for a while, Ao ground his teeth in irritation. Obviously, the Sannin had other goals than obtaining that scroll of information.

They could have been fooled if Yudao had not resurrected!

At the same time, Mei licked her lips with obvious murderous intent.

But when the Fifth Mizukage and her right hand thought that the changes had stopped, only the calmed chakra of the Four of Sound went wild again and began to grow with renewed vigor.

Their chakra jumped another notch, no worse than that of any normal Jounin.

The four's aura became even colder and darker than before, and their yellowed eyes shone with madness. Moreover, their transformed bodies did not resemble human ones at all.

Mei and Ao's faces visibly tensed after activating the second level of the Cursed Seal.

The strength of the four was certainly impressive, but still did not pose a serious threat to them.

It was about Orochimaru himself.

Whether it was the ability to summon and control the souls of the dead, or the apparently serial shinobi enhancement seal, it was all worthy of attention even from the leader of one of the five great villages.
