"The First Hokage is indeed very powerful..."
Akihara Kagura could deeply appreciate the strength of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and softly spoke, "It looks like Orochimaru has narrowly escaped. Kabuto, let's go see him."
Other than Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, no one in the Ninja World could understand Hashirama's power more than Akihara Kagura. After all, Hashirama is Akihara Kagura's new supervisor!
This system is indeed not bad...
A resurrected supervisor is still a supervisor!
This time, I should really thank Orochimaru!
If it weren't for Orochimaru, Akihara Kagura wouldn't have thought he could find a new supervisor and even gain more power!
Akihara Kagura glanced at his own system page. The total Chakra he could gather had risen to level 5S, which should be the limit of a normal ninja.
Besides.
Chakra also flowed in his body as if guided by his will.
The combination of abundant Chakra and the Rinnegan (Lin) let Akihara Kagura feel he could effortlessly unleash Ninjutsu.
Many jutsus only required Chakra to circulate in the body in the way the jutsu was meant to be cast. By slightly simplifying with a Hand Seal or even without hand signs, he could directly unleash the jutsu, with its power significantly amplified.
For example, the Lightning Blade he acquired from Kakashi Hatake...
For example, the Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu he received from the Third Hokage...
As for Wood Release...
Akihara Kagura could easily perform Wood Release by clasping his hands together.
Akihara Kagura had finally become a legitimate ninja who didn't need hand signs.
Inside the Hidden Sound Village.
Senju Hashirama's arm was rapidly regenerating. As a Reanimator, he possessed an undying body, capable of quickly recovering even if broken.
However, being a beneficiary of the Reanimation Jutsu's undying body, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, "I didn't expect this body to be so weak, unable to withstand even a little jutsu's power..."
"Are you mocking my art?"
Deidara swiftly flew down, controlling a Clay Giant Bird!
"No, no..."
Senju Hashirama quickly waved his hand, remaining polite even when facing an enemy. This First Hokage never laughed at others' weaknesses, for while he lived, no one in the Ninja World was stronger than him.
"His body is recovering..."
Uchiha Itachi watched Senju Hashirama with some unease.
The next moment!
Uchiha Itachi's eyes instantly turned scarlet as he fixed his gaze on Hashirama's reanimated body, "This Chakra..."
"Eh? The Sharingan!"
Senju Hashirama looked at Uchiha Itachi and immediately showed some curiosity, scrutinizing Uchiha Itachi, "The Konoha forehead protector; you're Madara's clansman and a ninja of Konoha, right? Why are you mingling with ninjas from other villages?"
"This First Hokage is too long-winded!"
Hoshigaki Kisame swung his Shark Skin Greatsword towards Senju Hashirama!
However, Senju Hashirama dodged the Shark Skin Greatsword, kicked Kisame in the chest, and sent him flying! The Taijutsu of this First Hokage was also quite formidable!
"Almighty Push!"
A massive repulsive force instantly launched Senju Hashirama away!
"Eh? These eyes..."
Senju Hashirama crossed his arms while flying backward, looking somewhat surprised and curious at Deva Path Pain's eyes, barely having time to say anything more before a group of Akatsuki Organization members charged at him again!
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Senju Hashirama quickly clasped his hands!
Vines and tree roots burst from the ground, turning the battlefield into a forest in the blink of an eye. All Akatsuki Organization members were swiftly pursued by the vines in the woods!
"Be careful."
Uchiha Itachi whispered a reminder to his teammates while evading the attack of the vine roots in the forest, "Don't stay in one place for more than a second..."
"..."
With a calm expression, Deva Path Pain waited five seconds, then suddenly raised his hand sharply, "You leave here; I'll clear the battlefield!"
"Almighty Push!"
A more overwhelming repulsive force exploded outward centered on him, uprooting the entire forest and turning the small Hidden Sound Village into a wasteland in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Fleeing into the distance, Orochimaru noticed the scene, bitterly gnashing his teeth, watching his painstakingly funded and established village turned to ruins.
Yet Orochimaru couldn't bother with such trivialities now; he must leave here quickly, find a way to hide, and locate a base where the Akatsuki couldn't find him.
Fortunately.
This time his plan wasn't a complete failure.
Despite the First Hokage Senju Hashirama being a fool, he still bought enough time for Orochimaru to escape, allowing him to obtain experimental data on the Reanimation Jutsu.
"These bastards..."
Orochimaru glanced back at the once again fierce battle in the Hidden Sound Village, coldly vowing, "When I use the Reanimation Jutsu to capture Akihara Kagura and obtain his body, you won't be so lucky..."
One First Hokage might not be enough...
Then add a Second Hokage!
Orochimaru was confident because he had a collection of such items!
Yet, upon arriving at one of his bases, Orochimaru encountered Kabuto, who delivered a delayed message.
"I received notice of the Akatsuki's movements early and intended to report to Lord Orochimaru, but I was imprisoned by Kagura. He wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill..."
