Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 584: The End of the Old Era (Part )

"Only under the sun can there be darkness of shadows!"

This was the truth that Danzo had once taught him, and it was also the truth that was proven to be true after being verified by Orochimaru.

Where there is sunshine, there will be darkness. Unless the sunshine is too strong and shines everywhere, darkness will inevitably grow.

In his opinion, the darkness of Konoha is enough to rank among the top five in the ninja world.

The high-level officials of the Sand Village seemed even darker than Konoha's practice of blatantly using the lives of heroes to exchange for a ceasefire and peace. Even Konoha's practice of using the lives of villagers to exchange for peace had to be whitewashed, but the Sand Village didn't even whitewash it.

"It sounds good to say that it's the Hokage's duty, but poor Hyuga Hizashi probably didn't know until his death that the Hokage also has the duty to protect every villager, right? After all, I just found out about it."

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth curled up behind his ears, and his gloomy expression suddenly showed a hint of contempt.

Then he looked up and around. The roof had already been covered by the forest that had suddenly grown.

This is the Wood Release of the First Hokage. Even if it was once a bare roof, Wood Release can create a forest in an instant. All the attacks and defenses of the trees in the forest are controlled by the caster.

boom!
At this moment, the ground inside the Four Purple Flame Formation suddenly trembled, and the newly grown forests seemed to have consciousness and began to slowly wriggle.

The big trees were entangled with each other, and their lush branches and leaves were intertwined. Soon, a huge wave made up of trees formed around Sarutobi Hiruzen, covering Sarutobi Hiruzen in the center.

At this moment, the Shodaime Hokage had lost consciousness, with only instinctive means of attack and basic defensive reactions left. He showed no mercy just because the opponent was the Sandaime Hokage.

"Is this the power of Hashirama Senju?" Kushina, who was outside the barrier, murmured with a hint of shock in her eyes.

She had heard about the rumors about Senju Hashirama from Mito's grandmother when she was a child, but Kushina was only now getting a glimpse of his specific performance.

but
Hashirama Senju's strength doesn't seem to match Grandma Mito's description?
Just like Minato, his strength has declined a lot compared to when he was alive, to the point that now he can fight him on equal terms, and even has the upper hand. It's only a matter of time before he seals Minato.

In fact, if she hadn't wanted to take a few more glances at Minato, the time might have been shortened a lot.

"Watergate!!"

Kushina stared at his dull eyes, her heart clenched, and then she stomped her right foot on the ground, and rushed forward like a cannonball, "The reincarnated Minato is not the real Minato"

It was also at this moment that Kushina's thoughts on resurrecting Minato faded a lot.

If a resurrection is not a perfect resurrection, then it is better not to have any resurrection at all.

Seeing the huge wave of trees sweeping over the sky, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes immediately, "The power of Hashirama-sama!"

"Huruzen, be careful!"

The monkey demon who was caught under the armpit said solemnly, "Although their strength after the Impure World Reincarnation has not reached the peak, their strength should not be underestimated. One against three is still too much of a stretch."

"Don't panic!!" Sarutobi Hiruzen regained his confidence at this time. Then he stood the golden cudgel on the ground, clapped his hands together and shouted.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

At this moment, two puffs of white smoke suddenly appeared on the originally empty water surface. Two identical clones walked out of the smoke and quickly came to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As the tree waves blocked the light, the three of them looked up at the sky in unison and clapped their left and right hands together at the same time, quickly forming a seal.

"Fire Escape: The Art of Fierce Flames!"

The three fierce flames accelerated their expansion the moment they touched the air. As they expanded larger and larger, the three flames finally merged into one and crashed directly into the huge waves that were rushing down from the sky.

boom!
Under the fierce impact of the flames, the huge wave composed of thick trees was instantly carbonized and gradually disintegrated until the flames completely burned through the entire wooden wall and rushed straight into the sky.

Looking at the scene in front of him, there was no human expression on the first generation's face. He was like a machine that only knew how to attack. He stepped on the water with his feet and chased straight towards the third generation who had escaped from the encirclement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils widened slightly, he didn't expect the cooperation between the two brothers to be so poor. They had the strength of a shadow, but not the combat experience of a shadow, and they only relied on the person controlling them from behind to act.

Seeing that the two brothers were approaching, he could only swing his golden cudgel and smash forward.

Senju Hashirama jumped forward, and facing the stick that suddenly appeared above his head, he didn't think at all. He directly gathered his chakra in his fists and smashed it at the golden cudgel.

boom!
The fist and the golden cudgel intersected, and the world was silent for a moment. The Thousand Hands Pillar retreated several steps, each step deeply stepped on the tree trunk, leaving one deep pit after another. At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also under great pressure. He held the golden cudgel tightly with both arms, trying his best to prevent it from flying out of his hands.

"Chakra Burst"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few breaths, then shook his numbed shoulders, and looked at Senju Hashirama with a serious expression, "Strong physical fitness combined with precise chakra control, this is the capital that has enabled Senju to fight against Uchiha without losing in the past thousand years.

Not everyone in the Senju clan has the strength of the first generation, but everyone has the strange power of Tsunade."

Thinking of this, he shook his head and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the Uchiha in the late Warring States period.

At that time, any ninja clan with some financial resources would equip their members with armor to protect their bodies. Even the big ninja clans like the Senju clan all wore armor. However, the Uchiha clan was different. They always kept their attire simple, which was unique.

Later, someone explained to him that the Uchiha clan was rather arrogant and looked down on others, and that they were so powerful that they simply disdained to wear armor to protect their bodies.

But now it seems.
Obviously, it is useless to wear armor when facing people outside the Senju family; it is also useless to wear armor when facing people from the Senju family.
Call ~
The Nidaime's fist brushed past Hiruzen's face, and a deep red wound instantly appeared on his old cheek. Hot blood slowly flowed down the wound, bringing his thoughts back to reality.

"Teacher!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Second Hokage who was close to him, took a deep breath, and then resolutely raised the golden cudgel and smashed it down again.

He is now old and frail, and his physical functions have obviously declined. He no longer has enough physical strength to squander like he did when he was young, nor does he have enough chakra to perform too many ninjutsu.

He could only find an opportunity through close combat, seal the two brothers as soon as possible, and then deal with Orochimaru.

"Sarutobi-sensei!"

Orochimaru's voice came from the side at this time, and he said slowly, "When I kill you here, Konoha will be destroyed, and then the Land of Fire will be divided up by the other major ninja villages in an instant because of the existence of Konoha."

"Orochimaru, what kind of pillow do you use to sleep? How can it allow you to have such a beautiful dream?" Sarutobi Hiruzen swung his golden cudgel and said coldly to Orochimaru, "Kill me first and then dream."

As he spoke, he swept Senju Tobirama away with his stick, and his body instantly appeared in front of Orochimaru. He swung the stick back and hit him again.

Orochimaru stepped back to avoid the stick and rushed forward with the sword in hand.

"Can't a dying person just die peacefully?"

clang!
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his stick to block Orochimaru's blade, then he looked up at the cold Orochimaru and laughed, "I can die, but before I die as Hokage, can't you do something for the village?"

Orochimaru slashed with his sword, then pulled it out and slashed at Sarutobi Hiruzen from another direction.

clang!
clang clang clang!

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to free his hands to fend off Orochimaru's frequent attacks.

"This old guy." Orochimaru's eyes flashed, he quickly swung his sword to knock away the golden hoop that was smashing down fiercely, then stretched out his left arm, and a giant brown python suddenly sprang out from the thick cuffs and bit the Sandaime's neck tightly.

next moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's body turned into a pool of mud and scattered on the ground.

"Earth clone?"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank, and he opened his mouth subconsciously, "Snake limbs harden!"

Whoosh!
A black light rose from behind him and hit Orochimaru's back directly, knocking him dozens of meters away.

clang!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to chase after him, but suddenly his expression changed. He quickly put the golden cudgel horizontally to the side and used the stick to block the fist of the Second Hokage.

Then, the figures of both sides disappeared in an instant, and only a ball of golden and black and a ball of light blue were seen colliding violently among the treetops, causing strong shock waves from time to time.

In terms of speed, the Sandaime is much faster than the First and Second generations after the Impure World Reincarnation, but his chakra is far inferior to these two. Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered this during the battle.

Unlike the enemies he had encountered before, with his current aging body, he could not fight a protracted battle. Even every minute of delay would be fatal to him.

One on one, the Sandaime is worthy.

But three to one
Whoever comes is weak!!!
