"Your father is the Fourth Hokage. You saw the power he just displayed. You'll be fine."
Sakura chimed in softly, "Yes, the Fourth Hokage is so strong, he'll definitely be safe and sound."
Jiraiya surveyed the chaotic scene around him and continued his analysis: "Besides, this is Konoha Village."
"Even if Kumogakure and Iwagakure really want to cause trouble, they'll have to wait until they get back to their villages to make their plans. After all, this is just the Chunin Exams, and they didn't make any preparations beforehand. The people who came are just some lowly genin."
Attacking Konoha now amidst the chaos would only result in the needless loss of our own group of talented youngsters, offering no benefit whatsoever.
Jiraiya spoke calmly yet persuasively, thoroughly analyzing the stakes involved.
After listening to Jiraiya's words of comfort, Naruto felt a little relieved.
He took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
……
In the current scene.
Kakashi led several companions on a rapid dash through the night, heading towards the emergency shelter in the south of the village.
Soon, a strange purple light screen came into view.
That was a barrier that covered a wide area!
Kakashi leaped onto the rooftop in a few bounds, getting a clear view of the entire barrier from above.
The square is about ten meters wide, with four corners and a ninja wearing a Sound Ninja headband crouching in each corner.
The four of them formed a battle formation and joined forces to unleash this powerful barrier technique, enveloping the entire area.
The center of this barrier was precisely where the entrance to the shelter was located!
Through the semi-transparent purple barrier, he could vaguely see several familiar figures confronting each other inside the barrier.
Kakashi stared intently, then gasped, "That's... Orochimaru and Kisame?!"
Within the barrier, two figures dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns stood side by side, one a snake and the other a shark, their eyes flashing with dangerous light as they stared menacingly at the entrance to the shelter not far away.
In front of the shelter's stone gate stood another tall and straight figure in black.
Uchiha Itachi!
Itachi's cold face appeared particularly calm in the dim light. He pursed his lips, his dark eyes warily watching the two Akatsuki members not far in front of him, his whole body exuding a murderous aura that could erupt at any moment.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither making any rash moves during the standoff.
Kushina's pretty face was filled with anger: "What is Orochimaru trying to do? Does he intend to harm the civilians in the shelter?!"
"No." Kakashi's gaze was fixed on the situation within the barrier, and he calmly shook his head. "Orochimaru's target is probably... Uchiha Itachi!"
"What?!" Kushina was stunned upon hearing this.
Naruto asked in shock, "His target is Sasuke's brother?!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +600!]
Kakashi nodded solemnly: "That's right."
He knew that Orochimaru had long coveted the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, and this had never changed, whether in dreams or in reality.
in the audience.
Sasuke suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes blazing with fury. "Orochimaru, that bastard!"
He stared intently at Itachi's figure on the screen, his voice trembling slightly with anger, "Is he trying to take advantage of the chaos in Konoha to attack my brother?!"
Thinking of this, Sasuke felt the anger in his chest was about to explode.
Orochimaru has a fanatical obsession with the Uchiha bloodline limit. Whether in dreams or in reality, Orochimaru makes no secret of his desire to seize the Sharingan.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Sasuke, calm down!"
Seeing his friend's agitation, Naruto quickly reached out and pressed down on Sasuke's shoulder to calm him down, saying, "They're just a scoundrel snake and a shark monster; they're no match for you!"
Naruto deliberately put on a nonchalant air, raising the corners of his mouth in a confident smile, "Trust Itachi-nii-san, he can definitely handle these two!"
Sasuke was taken aback when he heard this. Recalling that in his previous dream, neither Orochimaru nor Kisame Hoshigaki had lasted a single round against Itachi Uchiha, he couldn't help but relax his tense nerves.
Yes, no matter how cunning and ruthless that guy is, Nissan has always defeated him with ease!
From this perspective, it seems I really don't need to worry too much...
Thinking of this, Sasuke's anxious expression eased. He sat back down in his chair, took a deep breath, and nodded: "Hmm...you're right."
……
Inside the barrier, the three experts facing off were unaware of the commotion outside.
In the silent night, only the wind howled as it swept across the scorched ground.
Suddenly, Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and his hoarse voice broke the silence: "Hey, Orochi Maru-san, are you sure this Uchiha brat is as important as you say?"
He casually carried the huge shark muscle knife, a hint of doubt and indifference flashing in his triangular eyes.
Orochimaru let out a chilling chuckle upon hearing this, his golden vertical pupils narrowing wickedly: "Heh heh, he's not just the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan."
He licked his lips with the tip of his scarlet tongue, his expression excited and greedy. "He's also Uchiha Mikoto's son, and Uchiha Mikoto—is the best friend of Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Tell me, isn't he important!"
Kisame's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "Oh?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, seemingly not expecting such a relationship to be hidden.
But then, a playful smile appeared on his shark-like face, revealing his signature fangs: "So there was this other identity behind it all..."
Kisame slowly raised Sharkha, his gaze refocusing on Uchiha Itachi, becoming cold and excited. "Pressure Masun! Looks like I have no choice but to make a move."
Orochimaru, seeing that Kisame had already taken action, nodded in satisfaction, his narrow pupils gleaming with manic excitement: "Then let's get started! I can't wait to catch him!"
Before he finished speaking, his hands flew into a series of hand seals, and he shouted, "Summoning Jutsu—Impure World Reincarnation!"
Chapter 136 Come Out! The Former Hokage of Konoha
boom!
With a muffled thud, the ground suddenly exploded, and two pitch-black coffins emerged from the soil, each bearing a huge character "初" (first) and "二" (second).
Orochimaru laughed wildly, waving his arms exaggeratedly to both sides: "Come out! Former Hokage of Konoha!"
The coffin lid crashed down, raising a cloud of dust.
Amidst the hazy smoke and dust, two tall figures slowly emerged from the coffin.
As the dust settled, even the usually calm and composed Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the two figures clearly.
"!!!"
On the left was a middle-aged man wearing red armor, with long black hair reaching his waist. He wore a headband with the Konoha Village symbol on his forehead, but the area below the headband was empty.
His eyes had no pupils, and his expression was wooden and empty, like a puppet.
Even so, he stood there like a towering mountain, exuding a majestic and imposing aura!
He was none other than the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was hailed as the "God of Shinobi".
On the other side was a burly man with white hair.
He was dressed in blue armor, with a cold expression and two red, blade-like lines on each side of his face.
At this moment, the Second Hokage slightly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes as still as stagnant water.
Under the control of the Impure World Reincarnation, he moved stiffly like Hashirama, like a puppet without a soul, but his cold and murderous aura remained undiminished.
The First and Second Hokage stood side by side in front of Orochimaru. Their figures, which had been sealed in history, reappeared in the world in a way that defied the natural order!
auditorium.
"What a joke!!"
Sasuke could no longer contain himself and cried out in shock.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
He had just relaxed, but now his face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The First Hokage and the Second Hokage?! How is this possible—"
Sasuke felt his mind reeling as he stared intently at the two familiar yet unfamiliar figures on the screen.
Naruto stared blankly at the screen: "Is this for real?! Even the deceased Hokage can be summoned?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Sakura was also covered in sweat: "How can Orochimaru summon the First and Second Hokage?!"
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Jiraiya's face was more gloomy and unpleasant than ever before.
"This is the forbidden technique 'Impure World Reincarnation'!"
"Orochimaru, that guy, actually managed to research and succeed in such a forbidden technique!"
The forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage was something Jiraiya never expected to witness one day being used by Orochimaru to fool the spirits of his predecessors.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Jiraiya's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes filled with shock, but also with deep disappointment and heartache.
He had always believed that Orochimaru had only gone astray temporarily, and that he might still have some attachment to Konoha. He believed that one day he would be able to bring him back to the right path.
However, at this moment, looking at the two Konoha heroes who had been forcibly resurrected on the screen, Jiraiya closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "Orochimaru... is beyond saving."
