Chapter 309 Orochimaru Faces the Second Hokage
The riverbanks are rich in water and the soil is fertile, so weeds grow very lushly.
Beneath the dense grass, tiny insects formed streaks of black lines, crawling rapidly across the soil as they slowly approached Orochimaru, Yamori, and Kakuzu.
The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru and said in a tone of disappointment, "Orochimaru, don't make the same mistake again, or I will kill you this time."
After threatening Orochimaru, the Third Hokage turned his gaze to Yamori and Kakuzu in turn.
"You rogue ninja from Kirigakure, Mikami, how dare you steal our Konoha's Sharingan! And you rogue ninja from Takigakure, Kakuzu, we'll take you both down this time too!"
Orochimaru scoffed, "Old man, you're too old. You and that brat Namikaze are the ones who should be preparing for death."
A cold smile appeared on Mi Shou's lips, but inwardly he admired Orochimaru's acting skills. Those who didn't know the strength of the two sides were really deceived by Orochimaru's confident expression and tone, thinking that the two Hokage were weaklings.
Kakuzu interrupted the Third Hokage and Orochimaru with displeasure.
"Hey, Orochimaru, this isn't the place for you to catch up. You'd better reveal some information about the enemy."
Orochimaru's pupils dipped downwards as he scanned the grassy ground. He spoke succinctly: "The fat guy with the iron rod is Akimichi Tou, he's quite strong. The guy with the mustache is from the Nara clan, he can control shadows. The one with the Byakugan is Hyuga Hizashi, he's skilled in close-quarters Gentle Fist. And the one wearing the hat is Aburame Shiguro, he can control nano-sized poisonous insects. Be careful, getting poisoned can be very troublesome."
Orochimaru didn't introduce the Third and Fourth Hokage because they were renowned figures, and Yamori and Kakuzu naturally knew about them as the "Professor of Ninjutsu" and the "Yellow Flash."
At this point, Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals and blew out a gust of wind from his mouth.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Strong winds whipped up a lot of soil, blowing away all the insects hidden on the ground.
The sudden gust of wind was like the starting gun for a race, and everyone on both sides immediately sprang into action.
The third generation pressed his hands to the ground, creating an earthen wall to block the strong winds from reaching the crowd.
Mi Shou jumped onto the river and quickly formed hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Before Misaki, the river water rapidly boiled, creating waves several meters high. The waves twisted and swirled, forming a water flow several meters wide that crashed against the Konoha ninja.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Kakuzu also formed hand seals and launched an attack using lightning in conjunction with Mikami.
"Leave it to me!"
Akimichi Tou's expression was resolute. His chakra exploded, and his body swelled to four or five meters tall, with his arm muscles bulging.
The iron rod in his hand was enveloped in chakra and simultaneously grew longer, reaching five or six meters.
"Break through!"
Akimichi Tou spewed out billowing hot air from his nostrils, his legs firmly planted on the ground. He showed no fear in the face of the water dragon bullets rushing towards him, and with great effort, he raised his iron bar and chopped it down hard!
With a loud bang.
The powerful force, carrying a strong airflow, struck the water, scattering it into a vast expanse of water.
"careful!"
At that moment, Kakuzu's Lightning Release pierced through the water mist and arrived in front of Akimichi Tou in the blink of an eye. Akimichi Tou had no time to react, but then he heard Minato Namikaze's voice.
The next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Akimichi Dohiro, his Rasengan striking the lightning, and a dazzling light burst forth instantly.
Mimori saw that there was a kunai stuck in the ground in front of Akimichi Tou.
"Flying Thunder God Technique, huh? That's troublesome."
Misato looked around at the ground and noticed that there were many kunai stuck in the ground nearby. He became secretly wary.
At this moment, swarms of insects flew into the air, forming two black clouds that rushed towards Mi Shou and his two companions.
On the ground, black shadows, like octopuses, rapidly spread towards the shadows beneath the feet of Mi Shou and the other two.
Mikami and Kakuzu kept retreating, but Orochimaru bit his finger and used a summoning jutsu.
"Orochimaru, you actually made me fight two Hokage? This is infuriating!"
The enormous "Long Live" appeared, but it was in a bad mood and started complaining first.
Upon seeing Manda appear, Minato Namikaze immediately summoned Gamabunta.
Bunta, with his pipe between his teeth, took a deep drag, exhaled a huge plume of smoke, and stared at Manda with a serious expression.
"This is a troublesome opponent!"
"Please, I'd like to get this over with as quickly as possible!"
Minato Namikaze sounded anxious.
Since the enemy is intercepting them, they will definitely attack Kushina as well.
The three who came to intercept her were all very strong, so the enemy who attacked Kushina must be even stronger.
How could Minato not be anxious when he thought of Kushina and their unborn child being in danger?
"understand!"
Gamabunta didn't waste any words, drew his long sword and charged towards Manda.
"I've wanted a snakeskin belt for ages!"
Manda raised its head, its body pressed against the ground as it moved rapidly, crashing into Gamabunta.
"You stinky toad, I'm going to swallow you whole this time!"
The two enormous monsters began to fight, affecting a large area. Everyone else fled the area, leaving the battlefield to the two Hokage and Orochimaru.
"We must hold them off until the Hokage finishes the battle and prevent them from supporting Orochimaru!"
Hyuga Hizashi used his Byakugan to scout the distance and discovered that Orochimaru was at a disadvantage. He took the initiative to lead his men to attack Yasukuni and Kakuzu, and assumed the role of temporary commander.
"Suzaku, Shiko, watch out on the ground!"
Upon hearing Hyuga Hizashi's reminder, Nara Suzaku and Aburame Shiguro immediately jumped back several meters, and then saw clusters of black lines piercing out from where they had been standing.
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Kakuzu dodged the iron rod that Akimichi Tou was swinging at him and retreated more than ten meters to stand next to Yamori.
"The enemy has a white eye, which is really troublesome."
Mi Shou nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, every time we take action, it gets detected. We're too passive."
They appear to be praising Hyuga Hizashi, but they are actually betraying their teammates.
Don't forget, Orochimaru is being beaten up by two Hokage right now; the battle there is earth-shattering, and Kakuzu and Mikami don't want to get involved.
As members of Akatsuki, routine battles are fine, but to willingly fight to the death for Orochimaru... sorry, their relationship isn't that good.
Both Mikami and Kakuzu were wary of Orochimaru.
Of course, the Konoha ninjas were fighting with the intention of killing them, so they naturally wouldn't hold back.
Mikami created ten shadow clones, and Kakuzu created four masked monsters. In an instant, they outnumbered the four Konoha ninja and surrounded them, unleashing a barrage of five ninjutsu: water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth.
Faced with the ninjutsu attacking from all sides, the four Konoha ninjas were immediately put on the defensive.
"The enemy's chakra reserves are astonishing. If we keep exhausting them, we have no chance of winning. We must concentrate our forces and take down one enemy first."
Hyuga Hizashi shattered a ball of flame with his Eight Trigrams Palm, scanned the area around Hijikata and Kyosuke's bodies, and saw that their chakra had hardly decreased, causing him to frown.
Aburame Shiguro and Nara Suzaku stood back to back, preparing for attacks from behind. Upon hearing Hyuga Hizashi's words, Nara Suzaku said, "Yamori's Sharingan has strong observational abilities, and he also has difficult-to-deal-with genjutsu. Let's deal with Kakuzu first."
"Alright! I'll deal with Yamori, you all concentrate your forces on Kakuzu!"
Hyuga Hizashi charged towards Yasuo, his eyes fixed on the movement of chakra within Yasuo's body.
“Every time you use the Sharingan, you gather chakra in your left eye beforehand. I’ve seen through that. Your Sharingan is useless against me!”
