313 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance
🕑 Added 2025-11-17 06:12:01 +0000 UTCEven though the Second Hokage had already asked a question, the First Hokage still looked completely blank, like someone had pulled out his brainstemā¦
Finally, Orochimaru stepped forward to explain: "Because the First Hokage's individual abilities are too exceptional, I was worried he'd break free from the control of Edo Tensei, so I erased his personal will. (ļ¾āļøć )"
The Second Hokage exploded the moment he heard that!
"What do you mean?! (ź¦ ą² ēæ ą² )"
"Why are you only wary of him?!"
"You should know Edo Tensei is a jutsu I created! You kept my will intactāif I wanted to break free from the reincarnation's control, it would be easyā¦"
As he spoke, chakra surged around the Second Hokage!
"Whoosh!!"
The invisible pressure made Kabuto beside him not even dare breathe!
However, after trying for a while, the Second Hokage finally lowered his hand, his expression turning awkward: "..."
"Umā¦ your name is Orochimaru, right? What exactly did you use to restrain me? Ā¦ā¢ĖāĖā¢ļ½”)"
Orochimaru spread his hands and smiled: "In the vessels you two possess, there are the First Hokage's cells. The First Hokage's Bodyāyou and I both know what that meansā¦"
The Second Hokage clicked his tongue in annoyance! (ā²Š“ļ½Ļ)Ļ"
Orochimaru didn't say more. Right now, he only wanted to defeat Shinju, obtain Shinju's body! ą§ā¢āąØ
"Let's go, former Hokage."
...
On the way, the three Hokage chatted rather well.
The Second Hokage looked at the Fourth Hokage and asked,
"Who are you? Come to think of it, I've never met you before."
The Third Hokage answered proactively: "He is the Fourth Hokage. Sadly, he died young ā only in his twenties when he passedā¦"
The Second Hokage nodded: "I seeā¦ that said, Sarutobi, could you at least give me a proper introduction of Shinju? For him to make Orochimaru go to such lengthsā¦ even resurrecting us to helpā¦"
Hearing this question, the Third Hokage nodded, a faint smile forming as he began speaking slowly:
"That child was picked up from a battlefield by a certain ninja. When he first came to Konoha, he was still wrapped in swaddling clothes, less than a year oldā¦ I named him Shinju and let him stay in Konoha."
"That child showed extraordinary perseverance from a young age, but because he hadn't yet awakened, he remained quite average in every wayā¦ until he was twelve. It was like all his pathways opened at once. Not only did he independently comprehend Flying Thunder God and Rasengan, but he also mastered Wood Release overnightā¦"
The Second Hokage nearly lost his composure: "What?!! Sarutobi say that again?! He figured out Flying Thunder God on his own?! Are you sure he never read the scroll before that?! (Ā“Ā°ĪĀ°`)"
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Of course I'm sure. He was still attending the Ninja Academy at the time ā he had no chance to even approach the scroll."
"I seeā¦ in that case, he truly is a rare genius of ninjutsu," the Second Hokage said with emotion.
Back when he researched Flying Thunder God, it took him quite a long time!
"The Second-sama is right. He even deciphered Rasengan on his ownā¦ back then it took me three years to develop it! (*ź¦ąŗ“āź¦ąŗµ)" the Fourth Hokage added.
Orochimaru looked speechlessly at the Hokage engrossed in their excited conversation.
"Gentlemen, I summoned you not to hear stories about how strong Shinju isā¦"
Kabuto asked from the side: "Speaking of which, where should we go to find Shinju?"
Orochimaru was contemplating this question too. In the end, he turned toward the Second Hokage:
"Second, your chakra sensing ability should be remarkableā¦ Shinju's chakra is enormous ā with your sensing ability, it shouldn't be hard to locate him. (ą¹ŲŖą¹)"
The Second clearly didn't want to be used by Orochimaru. Folding his arms, he turned away with a pout: "My sensing ability only reaches a few dozen kilometers. It's very limitedā¦ Brother is far stronger than me when he's in Sage Mode. ĀÆ\(ć)/ĀÆ"
Kabuto nodded in agreement: "That's true. Once Sage Mode is activated, all five senses get enhancedā¦"
Afterward, Orochimaru fully controlled Senju Hashirama's body and activated Sage Modeā¦
A few seconds later, Orochimaru's lips curved upward: "Found him. And I discovered that the Eight-Tails, the Nine-Tails, and Shinju are not in the same place. ( Ā“ā½` )"
Kabuto: "What should we do? Which one first?"
Orochimaru answered naturally: "Of course we capture the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails first. If we can control two Tailed Beasts, our chances against Shinju increase.ļ¼ --0027āæ --0027 ļ¼"
"Speaking of that masked guy ā he's searching for the Tailed Beasts too. He wants to trap the entire world in an illusionā¦ Something that fake completely denies all my past experiments."
"We absolutely cannot let him learn anything about the Tailed Beasts."
Kabuto nodded: "I understand. Then what about Sasukeā¦"
Earlier, to find the entrance to the Uchiha clan's shrine, Orochimaru had borrowed Sasuke from the masked man.
Right now Sasuke was still trapped in the masked man's genjutsuā¦
Orochimaru cast a glance at Sasuke, who looked like a puppet, and waved dismissively: "Leave him here. For all we know, the masked man may have left something on himā¦"
Kabuto nodded: "Understood."
...
Kumogakure, Allied Shinobi Forces Headquarters.
Through the massive sensing water sphere, sensor-nin Ao detected the colossal chakra signatures of the resurrected Four Kage!
"Report! A massive chakra fluctuation has appeared near Konoha!"
The Raikage immediately ordered: "Send someone to follow and check it out! Victory for the Allied Shinobi Forces is within reach ā we cannot allow any mistakes!"
But after a few seconds, the Raikage realized that all five divisions were on the frontlines ā he didn't have many forces left at handā¦
"Forget it. Mabui, prepare Heavenly Transfer Technique ā I'll go check myself!" the Raikage said.
Ao looked troubled: "Are you sure only you will goā¦? This chakra appearing near Konoha is enormous ā comparable to Edo Tensei Madara!"
The Raikage and everyone in the office: āā½ā; (āoā),Ī£( Ā° ā³ Ā°|||)ļø“
They finally managed to defeat one Edo Uchiha Madara ā and now another appears?!
The four of them fought one Madara and nearly shaved twenty years off their lifespan!
If Shinju hadn't shown up in time back then, they would've already gone to the Pure Land!
"Waitā¦ someone comparable to Uchiha Madaraā¦ in the entire shinobi world, that would only beā¦" the Tsuchikage Ånoki trembled as he spoke.
Tsunade suddenly understood: "My grandfatherā¦"
Raikage: "The God of Shinobi?! !!!ā(Ā°ŠĀ°ć)ć"
"T-thisā¦ shouldn't we bring Shinju out of the Island Turtle? (Āŗ Š Āŗ*)"
"At times like this, forget about the toad prophecyā¦ (āŠāą¹)"
"First Madara, now even the God of Shinobi shows up ā the Allied Forces can't handle this! āā®ļ¹āā®"
Sensor-nin Ao continued his report: "This chakra is moving extremely fast! Its destination seems to beā¦ the Land of Lightning! (ą¹ŹĢ Š“ ŹĢ ą¹)!!!"
