Alive!
Space-Time Ninjutsu is indeed a tumor.
Uchiha Sasuke deeply felt Lin Ke's repeated emphasis on this point.
What the hell was that?
He felt he had performed at his best, yet he still couldn't do anything to the opponent, and in the end, he could only watch his enemy escape.
Assisting Itachi in exterminating the clan, wasn't that clearly an enemy? What was there to talk about?
Itachi, as the direct murderer, was dead, and Danzo, the instigator, was also dead. Why was there still an accomplice alive? They were all enemies, no different. Moreover, that kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu posed too great a threat to Lin Ke, reaching a level where it had to be eliminated.
But well, there was really no way.
[Go find Lin Ke]
Uchiha Sasuke dispelled his Susanoo, sighing with a bit of helplessness. If there was no other way, he would have to prepare to protect Lin Ke closely at all times for a long time to come.
The mysterious Uchiha needed a bit of time to release Space-Time Ninjutsu, not much, but enough for him to react.
Thinking this, he jumped to a high place nearby and saw Utakata standing on the ruins in the distance, frowning in thought. There was no way around it, a person glowing with light was too conspicuous. He arrived nearby in a few leaps and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Utakata's tone was cold. Did he have to tell others that he failed to chase after Zetsu?
That guy ran too fast and had no presence at all, disappearing from perception in the blink of an eye. Such a monster was truly dangerous, and it seemed he needed to protect Lin Ke closely for a while.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't pay much attention and left without a word.
He never got along with this guy from the start, and it was still the same now. The other party always held a grudge against him for being controlled by Genjutsu and hurting Lin Ke, never giving him a good look. Naturally, he wasn't willing to offer a warm face to a cold backside.
But unfortunately, he wasn't a sensory ninja. After wandering around the ruined Rain Hidden Village, he still hadn't found anyone. Instead, he saw Tsunade and Orochimaru chasing each other.
"Boom!"
Uchiha Sasuke didn't hold back at all, immediately using his Susanoo to strike Orochimaru.
The Susanoo's giant hand cleared the ruins on the spot, and Orochimaru, like a flea, was smashed into a half-collapsed building next to it.
How should he put it? He was now in a state where he wished he could use Susanoo on a rabbit running by the roadside.
Tsunade followed closely with a punch, shattering the collapsed building. Orochimaru, who had burrowed into the ground using Earth Release, could only drill out from the cracked ground.
After landing, Uchiha Sasuke was about to continue his attack, but Tsunade gave him a look to leave. Orochimaru, of course, wouldn't attack proactively, standing in place and silently observing the situation.
None of the three attacked again, and they were deadlocked.
[As expected, it's very troublesome. I can't be caught by Lin Ke-kun]
Orochimaru thought with a bit of helplessness.
Both he and Tsunade were using Sage Mode with Natural Energy, and their perception was so strong that it was impossible to avoid them with conventional methods. Any movement was locked on, and both knew what the other was doing and thinking, which was very difficult.
Moreover, Tsunade's speed was enhanced too much in Sage Mode. Her already terrifying power increased exponentially. If he wanted to stop and release Reverse Summoning Jutsu, he would immediately be hit by a punch of air cannon, and he would be seriously injured on the spot if he didn't dodge.
Fortunately, under the enhancement of Sage Mode, he focused on strengthening his super-speed regeneration ability. Even if he didn't shed his skin, it would only take a second or two to regenerate half of his body. If they were deadlocked, of course, he, who was sealed by Lin Ke, would win.
But Lin Ke was nearby, and the Seal could definitely be undone. Once the Seal was removed, he estimated he would die on the spot.
To obtain such an immortal body, he had completely abandoned the Living Corpse Reincarnation, gradually removing most of the modifications, synchronizing with Yakushi Kabuto, and finally steeling himself to exchange all his memories to adapt to the body, succeeding by luck. Losing it now would mean half a lifetime of pursuit gone to waste.
"Huh?" Orochimaru suddenly turned his head, noticing a very familiar Chakra.
"Oh my, isn't that my most respected Hokage, the Second Hokage, Lord Tobirama?" He wore a smile, but his heart was in utter shock.
What did he see? A living, three-year-old Senju Tobirama!
Chakra wouldn't lie. Having summoned Senju Tobirama before and even used Sage Mode, he couldn't be mistaken.
Resurrection of the dead? Lin Ke's technique? How was it done? Orochimaru's mind was filled with various thoughts. If he could reincarnate and revive at will, what had he been striving for all his life? His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
"Orochimaru, you were the one who used Impure World Reincarnation to summon me and my brother last time, right?" Seeing that he was exposed, Senju Tobirama simply stepped forward, "This time, you also brought Madara..."
"Whoosh!"
Before he could finish speaking, Orochimaru suddenly burst forth with a speed he hadn't shown before. His neck extended, and his head shot out, instantly closing in, revealing sharp teeth in his mouth, wanting to give the young elder a dose of the New Cursed Seal.
"Pfft!"
Senju Tobirama remained calm, opening his small mouth and spitting out a high-pressure jet of water. The enemy's speed was too fast for his current body to evade using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Orochimaru controlled his head to fly, his neck coiling in the air, preparing to circle around.
"Thud!" The Shadow beneath his feet stood up, kicking the head that was pouncing over away.
At the same time, Senju Tobirama also used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave his original location.
[Too bad]
Orochimaru retracted his head, showing no shame in ambushing his "most respected" Second Hokage.
"Boom!" Tsunade's attack arrived, and he was knocked to the ground without any ability to resist.
"Surrender."
Tsunade gripped Orochimaru's neck. Being caught at such close range made escape impossible.
"You're using my research, aren't you?"
Orochimaru managed a smile with great difficulty, "Next time, don't use other people's research so easily—"
"!"
Tsunade sensed something was wrong and was about to let go when she felt the harmonious Natural Energy within her body disrupted for a moment. A portion of her Chakra was directly dissolved, and even the muscle tissue in many parts of her body was affected. Sage Mode automatically deactivated.
"Well then, farewell."
Orochimaru pressed his palm on the ground, his gaze falling on Senju Tobirama's face in the distance.
The secret of reincarnation—
He had to know it no matter what! Uchiha Sasuke wanted to stop Orochimaru from escaping, but to avoid harming the suddenly stiff and pale-faced Tsunade, he didn't use Susanoo. By the time he rushed over, it was already enough time for Orochimaru to use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu and disappear on the spot.
"Tap!" Lin Ke landed, a little confused about what was happening.
Tsunade near Sasuke collapsed on the ground as if she had a seizure, while Senju Tobirama, who had just used a large amount of Chakra, was standing far away on the ruins of a building.
He reached out to heal Tsunade and check her physical condition, asking, "What happened?"
