Inside The Hidden Sound Village.
Orochimaru stood atop the tallest building in The Hidden Sound Village, observing the village he had just established. It was soon to face a devastating calamity.
Shimura Danzo and Kaguya Kimimaro had already left with everyone from the village, leaving only Orochimaru behind. He planned to engage once again with the Akatsuki Organization.
Orochimaru glanced down at the materials beside him. Before him was a pile of two bottles of Hashirama Cells and a bound wandering ninja.
As soon as the Akatsuki members arrive, Orochimaru would immediately inject one bottle of Hashirama Cells into the wandering ninja, rapidly activating the ninja's life vitality to the maximum. Then, using the dying wandering ninja who had been injected with Hashirama Cells as a powerful sacrifice, he would perform the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect the First Hokage Senju Hashirama!
Although…
Due to the immature Reanimation Jutsu technique, this First Hokage would undoubtedly be uncontrollable, and even his power might be uncertain.
However, Orochimaru had no other options. He didn't think he could face those S-Class Traitorous Ninjas from the Akatsuki Organization, nor did he have time to contact the unwilling-to-help Akihara Kagura, leaving him no choice but to gamble on this attempt. If he failed, it wouldn't delay his escape.
The sky was dark and oppressive.
A group of people wearing cloud-patterned black robes appeared in Orochimaru's field of view.
On the ground stood Deva Path Pain and a group of Akatsuki members, while Deidara rode a clay giant bird, hovering in the sky.
The instant these S-Class Traitorous Ninjas from the Akatsuki appeared, they exuded a powerful oppressive aura on the heart. Each person possessed the power to destroy this small ninja village.
"Hey, let's start by feeling the breath of art!"
Deidara gleefully shouted, tossing down white clay birds from above. These clay birds flapped their wings, flying toward Orochimaru!
"Brat from The Hidden Rock Village…"
Orochimaru swiftly unleashed a series of long snakes towards the sky. The snakes continuously bit into the clay birds, causing a series of endless explosions!
The bodies of long snakes scattered on the ground.
"Deidara, don't be impulsive."
Red Sand Sasori glanced at his unruly teammate, then looked to his side at Deva Path Pain: "Pain, let's get started directly…"
"Alright."
Deva Path Pain nodded slightly, giving instructions: "Go, kill Orochimaru, find Shimura Danzo."
In the next moment!
Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, among others, charged forward together!
"Have you all lost interest in even talking?"
Orochimaru cruelly stared at the advancing crowd, deciding not to hold back. He took out one syringe of Hashirama Cells and forcefully injected it into the wandering ninja sacrifice before him!
The powerful devouring nature of Hashirama Cells was far beyond what this wandering ninja could withstand. In the blink of an eye, the ninja's body began to be massively consumed by the Hashirama Cells, even causing half his face to swell with a large mass of white matter!
Undoubtedly…
At this moment, the life energy of this wandering ninja reached its peak.
Yet at this very moment, this wandering ninja's life was about to end!
"Ninpo: Reanimation Jutsu!"
Orochimaru swiftly raised his palm, slamming it onto the ground. The other vial of Hashirama Cells quickly became a catalyst, turning into ashes that adhered to the dying wandering ninja. His breathing instantly halted!
A black curse mark appeared on this sacrifice!
His appearance…
Began to rapidly transform!
A man with long black hair and clad in red armor appeared on the high platform of The Hidden Sound Village. His body suddenly erupted with a tangible burst of chakra, which caused his body to crack with fissures in an instant!
Any ninja who had seen his portrait or his actual appearance would involuntarily utter his name, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama!
"The sacrifice still cannot inherit the power of the First Hokage?"
Orochimaru gazed at the man standing before him, frowning in thought: "It seems the reason for the imperfect resurrection is due to the sacrifice, but this time it appears the soul was successfully summoned…"
"A bit more power causes the Reanimation body to crumble, perhaps this Reanimation body won't last long, or maybe the jutsu isn't perfected yet. But it should suffice for dealing with such a situation, right?"
This was Orochimaru's first time summoning and resurrecting the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
Orochimaru had long speculated about Senju Hashirama's immense strength from Akihara Kagura's demeanor. He gently raised his fingers, attempting to control Senju Hashirama.
Clearly.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Orochimaru's forehead, yet he remained unable to control Senju Hashirama's actions, gaining a bit of experimental insight.
"If the revived one's power is too strong, it is hard to control their mind, and it isn't easy to find suitable sacrifices…"
"Next time for Reanimation Jutsu, reduce the quality of the sacrifice, cut down the amount of power the revived can carry, and lower the chakra condensation limit of the Reanimator…"
"Even though the power should be significantly reduced, the Reanimator is an undying existence, and their chakra amount is infinite. This fact alone is invincible enough…"
Just as Orochimaru was rapidly pondering the lessons of this Reanimation Jutsu, a shadow appeared before him. The First Hokage Senju Hashirama looked at the half-kneeling Orochimaru maintaining the jutsu posture, curiously tilting his head.
