Seeing the movements of the five Tailed Beasts before him, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally understood their objective.
They want to retreat?
Do you really think Konoha is a place you can come and go as you please?
A cold sneer hung on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face. So what if his two arms were broken? True Several Thousand Hands still had countless arms behind it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed his hands on the scroll that summoned True Several Thousand Hands, and a massive amount of Chakra continuously poured in.
His already somewhat pale face grew even paler.
Boom! Boom!
Behind True Several Thousand Hands, dozens of arms simultaneously began to move, transforming into a flurry of fist shadows that slammed down towards the five Tailed Beasts below.
The violent attack instantly engulfed the five Tailed Beasts.
Angry roars continuously emerged from the smoke and dust.
Perhaps a single Tailed Beast would only be thrashed by True Several Thousand Hands, but the combined power of five Tailed Beasts was indeed astonishing.
During the bombardment, Tailed Beast Balls occasionally flew out from the dust, striking True Several Thousand Hands and emitting loud thuds.
Crack! Crack!
One by one, the arms of True Several Thousand Hands continuously broke off, while even more arms joined the fray.
The combined effort of the five Tailed Beasts was merely a minor inconvenience for Hashirama Senju, but for Hiruzen Sarutobi, it was a major problem.
Compared to Hashirama Senju's immense Chakra, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Chakra would probably be barely enough to fully activate True Several Thousand Hands.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, positioned atop True Several Thousand Hands, also realized the drawback. If he continued to deplete Chakra against the Tailed Beasts, he would likely be exhausted to death.
He had to finish the battle quickly, even resolve it in one go!
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hands, quickly formed hand seals, then bit his finger and slammed his hand onto the ground.
Summoning Technique!
As a burst of smoke dissipated, Enma's figure appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The moment Enma appeared, he quickly surveyed his surroundings. When he saw the scene unfolding before him, even Enma, who had experienced countless battles, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Old friend, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you this time!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Enma, his voice tinged with weakness.
"This time is much easier than usual battles."
Enma was first startled, then immediately understood, and said with a laugh.
After speaking, Enma extended his hands and likewise pressed them onto the scroll, injecting a large amount of Chakra into it.
With Enma's help, Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly felt a bit more relaxed.
The original dozens of arms instantly transformed into hundreds of arms attacking simultaneously.
Facing the sudden increase in attacks, while it still wouldn't cause fatal damage to the five Tailed Beasts, they also couldn't do anything to True Several Thousand Hands.
During the standoff between the five Tailed Beasts and True Several Thousand Hands, approximately half of the Ninja from the Four Great Shinobi Villages had basically withdrawn from the center of the battle.
Especially Kirigakure, they had completely pulled out of the five Tailed Beasts' battle zone, preparing to retreat to the outer perimeter.
Facing this scene, the Jinchuriki naturally had no desire to prolong the fight.
Their original goal was to buy time for their troops to retreat.
Isobu moved the fastest, its four limbs suddenly retracting into its massive turtle shell.
Shadow Embrace!
Immediately after, its entire body suddenly began to spin, like the Akimichi Clan's Human Bullet Tank, and quickly started rolling.
However, the direction it rolled was not towards True Several Thousand Hands, but backward.
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could react, Isobu had already broken through True Several Thousand Hands' attack range and was rapidly rolling outwards.
At the same time, Isobu's originally massive body rapidly shrank at a visible speed as it rolled.
In the blink of an eye, it had vanished from everyone's sight.
On a ground that was somewhat dilapidated due to the aftershocks of the battle, a palm-sized turtle, almost a blur, swiftly crawled towards Yūto's direction.
Originally, during Isobu's shrinking process, a thought of escaping flashed through its mind, but considering the consequences, Isobu felt it was better to obediently crawl back.
Isobu's speed in disengaging from battle was very fast, and Bubble's movements were not slow either. Using Six-Tails Saiken's flexible body, he forcibly endured one attack from True Several Thousand Hands.
Using this recoil force and Six-Tails Saiken's inherently soft body, he quickly shot backward.
He re-transformed into his half-Tailed Beast state in mid-air, simultaneously spewing out countless Bubbles, and using these Bubbles, he swiftly disappeared from Hiruzen Sarutobi's sight.
As Six-Tails Saiken and Isobu vanished, the other three Tailed Beasts also reacted.
There was no need to continue this battle. After the previous fighting, the Jinchuriki present had already realized that even without their attacks, this terrifying Ninjutsu wouldn't last much longer.
Just as the three Tailed Beasts were preparing to retreat, Hiruzen Sarutobi also reacted.
"I carelessly let two escape, do you three still think you can leave? Do you really think I have no way to deal with you Tailed Beasts?"
A fierce glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, and he rapidly formed hand seals.
How could Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, not have studied Hashirama Senju's Ninjutsu?
"Kōan Ichizoku Suishu!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a loud shout, and then blood couldn't help but spill from the corner of his mouth.
Activating this Ninjutsu with his current strength was indeed a bit strenuous.
The hundreds of arms that were suddenly attacking downwards paused simultaneously.
Immediately after, a giant character for "Seat" suddenly appeared on the palms of three of those arms.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three arms quickly pressed onto One-Tail Shukaku, Five-Tailed Mū King, and Eight-Tailed Gyūki at an incredibly fast speed.
The three Tailed Beasts felt their bodies tremble, and then their normally smooth Chakra reactions suddenly slowed down. The next moment, the three Tailed Beasts lost consciousness, along with their Jinchuriki.
The hundreds of arms that were suspended in the air now descended, but instead of striking the Tailed Beasts, they all landed around them.
Rip! Rip!
Hiruzen Sarutobi controlled these arms, causing them all to break off.
The severed arms slowly began to deform, transforming into a massive Wood Release prison, trapping all three Tailed Beasts within it.
"It's a pity I couldn't keep all the Ninja from the Four Great Shinobi Villages. Although I still killed quite a few, it's not enough to cause significant damage."
"However, these three Tailed Beasts can be considered a bit of capital that I, as Hokage, leave for the Konoha to come."
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed up a mouthful of blood and spoke softly.
Just at this moment!
A hoarse, low growl suddenly came from the front of the Four Great Shinobi Villages' Ninja, who were about to leave the center of the battlefield.
Summoning Technique!
A gigantic formation had, at some unknown point, been set up at the retreat position in front of the Four Great Shinobi Villages.
A large number of giant snakes burst out from the formation. As soon as these giant snakes appeared, they rapidly surged into the crowd.
Some Ninja who couldn't react in time were directly bitten to death or swallowed whole by these giant snakes.
Hiss~
Hiss~
Giant snakes continued to pour out of the formation. In a short time, the area ahead seemed to have transformed into a sea of snakes.
Bang!
Another loud thud came. Compared to the giant snakes summoned from the formation just now, an even more massive snake appeared before all the Ninja.
Orochimaru stood coldly atop Manda's head, his voice hoarse as he spoke:
"All these Ninja below are enemies. You can attack them however you like."
Hearing Orochimaru's words, especially sensing a hint of never-before-seen farewell in his voice, Manda's original intention to mock him vanished.
His body swiftly charged into the crowd of Ninja. With a casual swing of his massive body, a large number of Ninja died instantly.
Among them were many Kirigakure Ninja, clearly, Kirigakure was also within Orochimaru's attack range.
"Orochimaru, you seek death!"
Yūto's face instantly turned cold as he looked towards Orochimaru in the distance, his voice chilling.
Orochimaru had betrayed him!
