Chapter 59 059 Jumping back and forth!
The Third Hokage felt increasingly uneasy as the fight progressed.
Orochimaru's strength was clearly much greater than before, which was understandable; after so many years, and with Orochimaru in his prime, his strength would naturally have increased.
The Third Hokage himself was fighting with more difficulty, even feeling a sense of powerlessness, which was also normal since he was gradually aging and no longer at his peak strength.
So what exactly was wrong?
The Third Hokage was quite puzzled, and then, suddenly, he realized it!
After all these years, Orochimaru's appearance hadn't changed at all!
What was going on?
With no time to think, Orochimaru had already torn off his Kazekage cloak, revealing his battle suit; the real fight was about to begin!
The Third Hokage threw a shuriken and quickly formed hand seals.
Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!
One shuriken began to split into two, then four... and in the blink of an eye, a dense rain of shuriken appeared!
At the same time, Orochimaru's hands also quickly formed several seals.
Summoning Technique: Edo Tensei!
Two coffins were summoned, with the numbers "One" and "Two" on them respectively.
As for the third coffin, which had the character "Four" on it, it was prevented from being summoned by the Third Hokage. (The author believes that this coffin likely did not contain the Fourth Hokage, as the Fourth Hokage was inside the Shinigami's stomach; this coffin might have contained the Fourth Kazekage.)
The coffins opened, and two Ninja emerged from them.
Standing there, Kizaru was suddenly startled.
Strong!
Top-tier strong!
Even stronger than his peak strength!
Kizaru immediately stood up from his small stool, no longer cracking melon seeds; he stared intently at these two Ninja.
One had black hair and wore red armor, the other had white hair and wore blue armor.
From their condition, neither of them seemed to be alive.
Their bodies were covered in thick dust~
Dead people?
Yet they could move, think, and their eyes were nimble!
This Edo Tensei Jutsu could actually summon the deceased to the living world?
These two guys... why do they look so familiar?
That's right, the rock statues in Konoha Village!
Kizaru remembered, these two guys were the First Hokage and the Second Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village!
No wonder their strength was so immense!
Suddenly, Kizaru felt something was off... these two people, how should he put it, judging by the strength emanating from their souls, he was absolutely no match for them, but judging by the intensity of the Chakra in their bodies, they were only about as strong as he was now.
Were they constrained by the Edo Tensei body, unable to unleash their full strength from when they were alive?
From Kizaru's perception, the strength these two guys could currently use... was probably less than 30% of their peak strength!
Such immense power... Kizaru instantly felt his blood boil.
Since regaining his strength, Kizaru had never fought such powerful opponents!
Seeing Kizaru stand up, Orochimaru inexplicably felt a tightening in his heart.
This kid... is he about to make a move?
Kizaru was seen approaching the Four Violet Flames Formation barrier step by step, a smile on his face, full of a desire to fight, "Such powerful guys, one of them is mine!"
Orochimaru's pupils contracted, his expression becoming even more serious!
Even with the barrier, he dared not relax.
At this moment, Kidōmaru, who was maintaining the Four Violet Flames Formation barrier, scoffed, "Yours? With this Four Violet Flames Formation, you can't even get in!"
"You say I can't?" Kizaru squinted at Kidōmaru.
"If you can get in, I'll eat crap on the spot!" Kidōmaru roared.
Kizaru smiled, "Good fellow, another one trying to scam a meal. If you want to eat, just go eat it yourself~"
Kidōmaru was immediately stunned,'scam a meal', was that guy saying that he... "Bastard, if you have the guts, come in!" Kidōmaru provoked.
Orochimaru wanted to cover his forehead.
This subordinate of his... had no brains!
He was provoking someone even he had to treat with caution!
"So, I'm coming in now?"
"Come in!"
"Am I really coming in?"
"If you don't dare to come in, then get lost!" Kidōmaru had lost his patience.
Goodness... Kizaru was directly amused.
His entire body transformed into a ball of yellow light; in his elemental form, he still maintained a human shape, easily entering the barrier, "Look, I'm in!"
Orochimaru's pupils constricted; even the Four Violet Flames Formation couldn't stop him?
Kidōmaru was also incredulous!
The Four Violet Flames Formation, which could trap even Kage-level Ninja, couldn't stop this guy!
Seeing Kidōmaru's expression, Kizaru was quite satisfied.
He elementalized again and jumped out of the barrier, "I'm out again~"
His face bore an expression like he was playing hide-and-seek.
Then... I'm in again, I'm out again, I'm in again, I'm out again... Kizaru's speed of entering and exiting became faster and faster.
He actually started repeatedly jumping back and forth in front of the barrier wall!
Orochimaru, the four Otogakure Ninja maintaining the barrier, the three Konoha Anbu outside the barrier, and even the Third Hokage and the Edo Tensei bodies of the First Hokage and Second Hokage who had just regained consciousness... all stared dumbfounded at Kizaru repeatedly jumping back and forth!
At this moment, they all shared a common thought, which was... this kid must be crazy!
What was the point of him just jumping back and forth in front of the barrier wall like that?
Purely for laughs?
There couldn't be such an imbecile in the world, could there?
Everyone was thrown into confusion... "I'm in again!"
Kizaru jumped into the barrier once more.
This time, Kizaru did not jump out of the barrier again; instead, his figure flashed, transforming into a yellow light, and appeared in front of the white-haired, blue-armored Second Hokage.
"Speed is power. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
A Flash Kick directly struck the Second Hokage's forehead!
Boom!
The Second Hokage's head was directly blown off!
"Did you really think I was brain-dead?" Kizarulooked at Orochimaru, his eyes full of triumph, "Only this way would make you lower your guard!"
Orochimaru's expression was serious; he, who was accustomed to playing dirty tricks, was outsmarted in such a way for the first time.
The opponent's mental fortitude was truly terrifying.
Moreover, this kid, in order to win, was willing to deliberately play dumb, completely disregarding any potential 'black history'~
This guy had only one goal: victory!
To possess such powerful strength and mental fortitude at this age was truly a formidable opponent.
Unfortunately, this kid didn't understand... the true power of Edo Tensei!
Wisps of dust were rapidly gathering on the Second Hokage's shattered Edo Tensei body, about to be restored in an instant.
The Edo Tensei body was immortal!
Suddenly, Kizaru noticed something was wrong; he had been so busy showing off that he hadn't paid attention to his Observation Haki perception.
He turned his head sharply.
A massive wave of Water Release rushed towards him.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
Kizaru looked pained.
Playing with water, huh~
Gross...
