Chapter 247 The Dead
"What is this?"
The scene before her eyes was beyond what Ayane could understand.
She had seen many techniques, but the 'Summoning Technique' used by Orochimaru at this time was obviously fundamentally different from the general summoning techniques.
Because what Orochimaru summoned was not a living thing, but a 'dead person'.
After seeing the two people coming out of the coffin, their appearance can be said to be the most familiar household names to Ayane, who was once a Konoha ninja.
But in Ayane's cognition, these two people had died a long time ago.
What remained in the present era was only a vague legend.
The two people who came out of the coffin, their bodies and skin were exposed to the sun, and the cracks on their bodies gave people a feeling of broken porcelain. The two of them slowly opened their eyes, moved their bodies slightly, and pressed their palms on their necks, as if they felt that it was very stiff.
Afterwards, their flexibility was not much different from that of living people.
In the eyes that were opened, there was a strange dark erosion, symbolizing ominousness.
The man on the left had long black hair and wore a black ninja uniform with red laminated armor on the outside. The emblem of the ancient clan was engraved on the armor on the left shoulder. The wrists of both hands were also protected by red iron wrist guards.
His eyes were calm and he looked at the surroundings blankly, as if he didn't react to what was going on.
Logically, he should have died a long time ago?
This familiar breath was undoubtedly the world of the living.
The man on the right had silver hair and red eyes, with three red marks on his cheeks. Like the man on the right, he wore a black ninja uniform with blue laminated armor on the outside to protect his body, and white down on his shoulders and back.
Coldness and wisdom appeared on his face, and his eyes were sharp and piercing, as cold and ruthless as a blade.
Unlike the man on the right, he just lowered his head to look at his palms and reacted to what happened to him.
"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique... They actually used it on me, the creator..."
He had already died in the past war when fighting with the two lights of Kumogakure, Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
Those two not only had the Nine-Tails Chakra and could transform into small tailed beasts, but were also descendants of the Six Paths Sage and could control the powerful Six Paths artifacts.
At that time, in order to evacuate his subordinates safely and leave seeds for Konoha to grow, he chose to stay behind without hesitation. After killing Ginkaku, Kinkaku also killed him, and he didn't know what happened later.
Now he has to return to this world of the living, which made his mind dazed for a moment.
He turned his head and there was no one behind him. Then he turned his head again and looked at Ayane who was standing not far in front. The other party's white eyes were particularly eye-catching in his eyes.
"White eyes... Hyuga clan... Sorry, little girl, I seem to have caused you trouble..."
He didn't know who Ayane was fighting with, but since someone summoned them, it was very obvious what it meant.
The surrounding terrain has changed. Before they came out, this place had experienced a tragic battle.
A large number of trees collapsed, and the ground was looted for several layers. Even in his era, there were not many ninjas with such strength.
Ayane did not answer, but just watched the two of them silently.
The founder of the Konoha Ninja Village -
the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama.
The second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama.
The top ninjas who once dominated the ninja world.
Now that he appeared as a living dead, Ayane had a shadow in his heart... Orochimaru, he is really a troublesome ninja.
Compared with Jiraiya and Tsunade, he is the most troublesome of the three ninjas because he mainly studies forbidden techniques.
Ignoring his soft fist, his body is like an indestructible rolling knife.
Now he still uses this forbidden technique to summon the dead to fight... The technique that touches life and death is not simple no matter from which angle.
"No matter which era, you can't escape from fighting... Really, Tobirama, I told you more than once not to study this kind of strange forbidden technique all the time. Now you are dead and you will cause trouble to the younger generations of the village."
The black-haired man next to him, the God of Ninja Senju Hashirama, also reacted, understood his own situation, and knew what the technique to summon himself was. He complained to his younger brother Tobirama next to him.
"I didn't know that things would turn out like this. Besides, I also wanted to leave a means for the village to deal with the enemy. Monkey and the other three are too young to deter the other ninja villages."
If they can make good use of this ninjutsu and cooperate with the multiplication detonation tag he left behind, they can definitely give the enemy a head-on blow.
Unlike this heartless brother who always wants to give the tailed beast away for nothing, he has done his best for the development of the village.
"Since you are dead, you shouldn't cause trouble to the living. Our era has passed."
"Brother, shut up!"
Tobirama's face was frighteningly cold, and he ruthlessly scolded his brother Hashirama.
"Yes..."
Hashirama became dejected, and he angered Tobirama again.
However, he still disagreed with Tobirama's behavior in his heart. He should have forbidden Tobirama to study this forbidden technique. It seems that the other party secretly conducted human experiments behind his back.
His order as the Hokage felt useless.
"It's all because of your overly naive ideas that I'm so hard. I told you long ago that sending the tailed beasts to the other ninja villages will not win their gratitude. Not long after your death, Kumogakure used the power of the two tailed beasts to declare war on Konoha, and I also died in that war."
Tobirama snorted coldly and told the rest of the story.
"Is... is that so?"
Hashirama touched his face awkwardly, not knowing how to explain to Tobirama.
"I just want everyone to sit down and have a good talk together..."
"Idiot."
"..."
Hashirama lowered his head and sighed.
Ayane glanced back and forth between the two. It was unexpected that the first generation of Naruto God had no dignity, but the second generation of Hokage Tobirama was a representative of the realistic school who focused on practicality.
After thinking about it, she had more important things to do. These two people didn't seem to want to fight... What on earth was that guy Orochimaru doing?
So, Ayane stood up and jumped, ready to break through the two people's defense and continue to chase Orochimaru and the other two.
That snake was too disgusting, she had to peel off his snake skin and cook it.
As soon as she made a move, Hashirama and Tobirama's bodies also immediately made corresponding moves, stood up and jumped, blocking Ayane.
Tobirama's face was unhappy. This was not his intention at all. This body was set up with a technique to automatically deal with the enemy.
Once the enemy made a move, their bodies would also make corresponding strategies to block the enemy.
And the caster was not here, he was a sinister guy.
The three of them were entangled together. Hashirama's fist was blocked by her palm, and Tobirama on the other side condensed a sharp water blade in his hand and slashed towards her neck.
Seeing this, Ayane turned her body and rolled up the chakra flow.
"Kaiten!"
Bang.
The water blade broke.
Hashirama and Tobirama's bodies were immediately bounced out, and their figures landed on the ground, staring at Ayane carefully.
"So weak."
Ayane gave such an evaluation after a brief surprise.
That was just the most basic Kaiten, but even such a Kaiten could fight against the two of them on equal terms, which directly greatly reduced Ayane's expectations.
She had seen Uchiha Madara in action. With a complete form of Susanoo, with one sword and one strike, he could flatten a mountain, split a forest, and create a cliff on a plain.
His strength was unpredictable.
As a ninja god of the same level as Uchiha Madara, or even stronger, her attack was easily blocked by her Isshiki Kaiten. This was too unreasonable. The
same was true for the second generation Hokage, Tobirama. The opponent was a famous ninja in the Warring States Period, just like his brother Hashirama. In the past, the second generation Hokage had always been known as the fastest ninja in the ninja world.
Not only that, many ninjutsu schools in Konoha were developed by the second generation Hokage, Tobirama.
The fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato, relied on the Flying Thunder God Technique to dominate the ninja world. The original developer of this technique was also the second generation Hokage, Tobirama.
"Our strength is not at its peak... Having said that, you can use Kaiten at will in that situation. You are different from the Hyuga clan members I have seen... It seems that Konoha is now thriving. There is an excellent ninja like you."
Tobirama praised generously.
The Hyuga clan is a famous family in Konoha. It was once a bloodline ninja clan recruited by his brother Hashirama himself.
Their Byakugan has great strategic significance on the battlefield.
Ayane, who has Byakugan, is naturally regarded by him as a member of the Konoha Ninja Village.
Judging from the appearance of such an excellent ninja in the Hyuga clan, Konoha will not be too bad at the moment. It is a thriving scene.
"Konoha... is thriving?"
Ayane showed a strange smile on her face.
If this sentence was changed to ten years ago, it would be correct.
But Konoha is now very old.
Her teacher Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, the Fourth Hokage and his wife died in battle, Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, defected, Tsunade traveled around the Ninja World, no one knew where she was going, Jiraiya left in sadness because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki incident... So now the aging Third Hokage is supporting Konoha again, and the roots are becoming too big to fall off. This doesn't look like a booming development at all.
"What's the matter?"
Tobirama was surprised.
"It's a big problem, Second-Day Master."
Ayane said, with a cold chill flashing in her pure white pupils, and rushed straight towards the two.
Hashirama's face changed and he put his hands together.
"Wood Release: Tree World Birth!"
Countless trees emerged from the ground with their roots, growing wildly, and the hideous trees shuttled at a very fast speed, wrapping around Ayane's body.
Ayane didn't protect her hands and rushed forward.
The sound of crackling continued to come, and the trees that touched Ayane's body were directly shattered, turning into sawdust and flying around.
In the astonished eyes of Hashirama, Ayane's figure fell in front of him like a ghost, and placed her palm on his forehead and hit him lightly.
Hashirama's upper body shattered, turning into confetti with a rotten smell, scattered all over the ground.
"The body is light and fluttering, it is obviously a physical body, but it feels like it is not a physical body... This technique is really strange. However, in this way, there is only you left, Second Generation Master."
Defeating Hashirama with ease was not a difficult thing for Ayane to do.
The strength of these two people was too "weak". As Tobirama said before, they were resurrected in this state, not in their prime.
There must be some constraints to bringing the dead back to life.
Otherwise, this technique is simply too terrible.
"What do you mean by 'big problem' just now?"
Tobirama didn't care about Hashirama's death. His brother was not a living person anyway.
He only cared about what Ayane said just now. 'Big problem'... Did he make a wrong judgment?
"I left Konoha eight years ago. You should understand what I mean by that, right? I am not a Konoha ninja now."
Ayane smiled.
"What?"
Tobirama widened his eyes.
After Ayane said that, of course he understood.
Defected ninja.
However, the defection of a ninja from the Hyuga clan was something incredible to him.
"Are you from the main family?"
"No, I'm from the branch family." "
?"
How can a branch family defect if they have a caged bird in their brains?
"Don't talk nonsense, little girl. How can a branch family ninja defect? Did you unlock the caged bird?"
The voice came from behind.
Ayane turned her head and saw a scene where countless pieces of paper gathered together. The body of the first Hokage, Hashirama, was recovering in a strange way.
"You're not dead yet."
"The trouble with this technique is that the person who is resurrected has an immortal body and unlimited chakra... It can only be targeted by sealing techniques and Yin-Yang escape techniques. This is why I forbad Tobirama to study this technique. This technique is too evil. Once abused, it will cause great trouble to the living."
Hashirama kindly explained it to Ayane.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you for your answer."
"No, it's nothing. Speaking of which, we are the ones who are causing you trouble. But you haven't answered my question yet."
Hashirama stared at Ayane.
"Literally, I'm a ninja from the branch family, and I just unlocked the caged bird."
"Is that so... It's amazing, the caged bird spell, even Mito thought it was impossible to start. That thing is closely connected to the brain, Mito said that it can only be unlocked by triggering the 'death' condition."
Hashirama looked admiring. Tobirama
felt tired, his stupid brother didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at all.
The people of the branch family defected, the caged bird was unlocked... Then, freedom is like an addictive poison to those people of the Hyuga branch family, and it will definitely cause internal divisions in the Hyuga clan.
The Hyuga clan is an indispensable force in Konoha. Now that this has happened, Konoha's situation seems to be a little bad.
"You two, it's almost time for small talk. I still have business to do."
If Orochimaru gets away, things will become very difficult.
"But if you don't defeat us, you can't go over and find the caster."
Hashirama said seriously.
Although the strength of the two of them is not the strength of their heyday, it is not a big problem to stop Ayane.
Because they are immortal, with infinite chakra, as long as they are not sealed, they can always entangle Ayane.
Ayane did not explain, but looked up and looked around. Hashirama
also followed her line of sight and saw that the trees around were densely packed with people. There were
about dozens of people.
Every one of them had strong chakra fluctuations.
One of the red-haired men had a golden chakra chain extending from his back, breaking through the air and attacking, making Hashirama subconsciously want to dodge.
Ayane arrived at Hashirama's side first, and cut a big hole in Hashirama's chest with a hand knife, and Hashirama lost his ability to move for a short moment.
The golden chain also happened to touch Hashirama's body, continuously absorbing and suppressing the chakra in Hashirama's body, making him unable to move even after recovering his body there.
"This is the same diamond seal as Mito... Are you a ninja from the Uzumaki clan? Why..."
Hashirama looked at the golden chain wrapped around his body, with confusion in his eyes.
Why are the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan involved with the Hyuga clan?
As far as he knew, the Hyuga clan and the Uzumaki clan had no close connection.
And Ayane was not an ordinary Hyuga ninja, she was a defected ninja from a branch family.
How could the Uzumaki clan, who had always trusted Konoha, unite with the traitors of Konoha?
What exactly happened in the ninja world now?
Hashirama suddenly felt that the times were developing too fast, and it was no longer the era he knew.
"Not only that, there are also other Hyuga clan ninjas... and Uchiha."
Tobirama was not blocked from moving, and he had the ability to perceive and escaped the attack first.
He turned his head and scanned the crowd around him, and keenly discovered that there was another Hyuga clan ninja in the crowd.
In the crowd, there was also an Uchiha clan ninja who opened the three-magatama Sharingan.
This hodgepodge of forces made Tobirama feel more and more uneasy.
What happened to Konoha after his death?
Forget about the Uchiha clan, why did even the Uzumaki clan, who were close to Konoha, have to be associated with the traitors of the Hyuga branch family, and act as if they respected Ayane.
This simply overturned Tobirama's three views.
Ayane was not interested in answering Tobirama's questions. She still wanted to chase Orochimaru.
"Leave twenty people behind, remember to use the sealing technique to deal with them, and the rest of you follow me."
Although Hashirama said that in addition to the sealing technique, Yin-Yang escape can also be used to target this forbidden technique.
Unfortunately, Yin-Yang escape is a legendary secret technique, and even Shiraishi has not mastered such a secret technique.
The clones created by Shiraishi are just pure Yin escape and Yang escape combined with natural energy, adding his own soul fragments to create things, which is fundamentally different from Yin-Yang escape.
"Yes!"
Ayane's figure disappeared from the spot, and half of the people around her also left, following Ayane to chase Orochimaru and the other two.
At the moment Ayane left, Tobirama's body moved again, trying to stop Ayane.
His body was given such an order, and everything could not be decided by itself.
When he made a move, the ninjas of the Demon Country who surrounded here did not show any fear.
"Fire escape, Great Fireball Technique!"
The Uchiha ninja took the lead in using fire escape to attack.
Tobirama deliberately avoided the opponent's Sharingan. In his current state, he couldn't deal with the Sharingan very well. If he was controlled by the Sharingan's illusion, things would be troublesome. Hashirama
was restrained by the Uzumaki clan's diamond seal and could not fight with him at present. All that was left could only rely on him to overcome the difficulties. Tobirama formed
seals with both hands and instantly summoned a stream of water to extinguish the fireball.
The power of the water that extinguished the fireball did not decrease and spread to the surroundings.
Then, he accumulated chakra in his mouth, and spit it out lightly. A large number of water needles flew out of his mouth, making the ninjas from the country of demons who wanted to attack him in a hurry.
The assault ninjutsu he saw did not cause a small country. Tobirama also roughly knew the strength of these ninjas. It was too difficult for him to deal with them alone now.
Over there, the ninja of the Uzumaki clan took out a talisman paper from the ninja bag, walked in front of Hashirama, and pressed it on Hashirama's chest.
Hashirama felt a strong binding force, suppressing the chakra in his body and locking his body firmly in place, unable to move.
This talisman contains a powerful sealing technique.
Seeing that the sealing talisman worked, the Uzumaki clan ninja removed the golden chai
