Casually glancing at the small white snake he had stepped on and killed, Yūto then withdrew his gaze.
"This guy Orochimaru has more resurrection methods than even I do. Although he won't be able to revive for a while, the news of my resurrection will probably be exposed before long."
Yūto had a hint of helplessness in his voice, but there was no expression of worry on his face.
Just now, at the moment he killed the great snake, Yūto already roughly understood Orochimaru's purpose.
Orochimaru naturally wouldn't know that Yūto completely understood his resurrection method.
So Orochimaru intended to use death as a way to escape Yūto's sight, to facilitate plotting in secret.
Regarding Orochimaru's little schemes, although Yūto guessed some of them, he didn't pay much mind to them.
Orochimaru wants to revive, and will probably need some more time.
What's more, the method of reviving using the Curse Mark is quite demanding in itself.
Moreover, during this time, is enough for Yūto to do many things.
Whoosh!
Just at this moment, a strong whistling sound came from the air.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, controlling an arm of the True Several Thousand Hands, punched towards Yūto's direction.
Just now, the battle between Orochimaru and Yūto naturally fell into Hiruzen Sarutobi's line of sight.
The scene of Yūto cleanly and decisively killing Orochimaru made Hiruzen Sarutobi both surprised and angry.
Especially the Akatsuki Organization robe with a somewhat special weave on Yūto, made an organization appear in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.
That organization was one that Uchiha Itachi had sent news about through special means, and he only knew about it because of that.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a solemn expression on his somewhat pale face. Regardless of whether the other party was involved in this matter, capture them first before anything else.
A terrifying sonic boom exploded above Yūto's head, making Yūto unable to help but rub his ears.
In everyone's line of sight, that extremely exaggerated fist slammed down.
Seeing that scene in the distance, Ameyuri Ringo couldn't help but clench her fists slightly. Although she knew nothing would happen, deep down, she still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, that arm of the giant Guanyin statue could even restrain a Tailed Beast.
Silence!
Facing this giant punch, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent.
No!
It really was silent!
As this punch slammed down, there was no roaring sound as imagined, nor was there any explosion sound; it was as if that punch had originally been in that position and hadn't moved at all.
At this moment, on the battlefield.
Some sharp-eyed Ninja nearby clearly saw that the fist like a small mountain was actually held up by an unremarkable hand.
Such an exaggerated contrast made the Ninja at a loss for a moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, controlling the True Several Thousand Hands, his expression changed slightly. He found that no matter how much he exerted himself, this arm seemed to be suspended in mid-air, unable to drop even an inch.
"You don't need to rush to remind me, let me deal with you."
Yūto shrugged and said softly.
He naturally knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't hear what he said, but Yūto didn't care either.
Yūto, the hand holding up the giant hand, slightly exerted force into a claw shape, easily opening a palm-sized hole in the wooden hand.
Putting his hand into the hole, using the strength absorbed from the previous arm attack, Yūto let out a low shout and then pulled back forcefully.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was controlling the True Several Thousand Hands, suddenly felt the entire True Several Thousand Hands tremble slightly,
Immediately after, Hiruzen Sarutobi widened his eyes, looking somewhat disbelievingly at the scene before him.
He saw that that arm of the True Several Thousand Hands was actually forcibly torn off.
Forcibly tearing off the arm is completely different from the concept of a Tailed Beast using an attack method to break the arm.
After tearing off this arm, Yūto slammed it onto the ground, and the entire earth seemed to let out a huge mournful cry.
The next moment, Yūto grabbed this arm and then, using himself as the center, swung it in a semicircle.
Within this semicircle, the Rock Shinobi, Cloud Shinobi, and Sand Ninja were instantly cleared out by Yūto.
With just this one move, the Ninja from the three Villages were almost completely wiped out, except for a few who luckily escaped.
"Alright, that's done."
Yūto glanced around and said softly. After speaking, he grabbed this arm with both hands, used force, and threw it towards the True Several Thousand Hands.
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately controlled the True Several Thousand Hands to knock this arm aside. At the same time, looking at the almost flat ground below, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
When did this Ninja World get such a powerful Ninja?
Moreover, a person like this has actually been hidden in the shadows all this time.
"The power of Ninjutsu, besides the level of the Ninjutsu itself, the most important thing is the person using the Ninjutsu."
Yūto raised his head, his gaze examining the True Several Thousand Hands, with a hint of disdain in his voice, but a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
Whether it was Hashirama Senju or Uchiha Madara, the wide-range techniques they had were not a dozen, but around four or five, but Yūto himself had no presentable wide-range attacks at all.
However, if it were Hashirama Senju controlling the True Several Thousand Hands before him, perhaps Yūto would have a face full of solemnity, but now, this so-called True Several Thousand Hands is at most just a slightly threatening toy.
Adamantine Sealing Chains—Giant Transformation!
A large amount of Chakra chains continuously surged out from Yūto's body.
Supported by the Chakra chains, Yūto was directly propped up into mid-air by the Chakra chains. Immediately after, the surging Chakra chains quickly condensed in the air.
In the blink of an eye, a giant the size of a Tailed Beast, completely composed of Chakra chains, appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's field of vision.
"This is... the Whirlpool Clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains?"
On Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, an expression of disbelief appeared. He widened his eyes and spoke.
Bang!
A strong roar made the entire True Several Thousand Hands tremble violently. Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly came back to his senses,
and found that that giant of Chakra chains, with unexpectedly rapid speed, had already appeared beneath the True Several Thousand Hands and was attacking him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's dozens of arms attacked towards Yūto simultaneously.
Swish! Swish!
Several Chakra chains shot out from the giant composed of Chakra chains, tying all these arms together, fixing them in mid-air.
Using these arms, while rapidly retracting these Chakra chains, Yūto's body directly soared into the air. At the same time, at this instant, he released the Giant Transformation state of the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
With a few leaps, Yūto had already appeared on top of the True Several Thousand Hands' head.
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was looking at him somewhat stunned, Yūto showed a gentle smile on his face and greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Yo, the Third Hokage of Konoha Village."
Boom!
The Demonic Ape beside Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to move. Stomping his foot forcefully, in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of Yūto.
Then, towards Yūto, he threw a fierce punch.
Yūto raised his hand, casually grabbed the Demonic Ape's fist, and then forcefully swung it to the side.
The Demonic Ape's body was directly embedded in the Buddha statue of the True Several Thousand Hands.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed drastically. He picked up the scroll used to summon the True Several Thousand Hands below his hand and pulled forcefully, tearing it directly in half.
And at this moment, Yūto had already appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"You are—First Mizukage Yūto!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at the extremely young man before him, said with an extremely certain tone.
"You guessed right, unfortunately, there's no reward."
Yūto nodded and said with a smile on his face.
Along with Yūto's admission, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly understood many things he hadn't been able to figure out.
At the same time, he also knew what everything that was happening before him was all about.
"Shodai(1st)-sama leaving behind a fallback was correct!"
"Back then, you were sealed by Shodai(1st)-sama. Even if you escaped the seal, your fate won't change—you will still be sealed by the fallback left by Lord Hashirama Senju!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked angrily at Yūto. When he said the name "Hashirama Senju", Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice clearly rose a few notches.
After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly showed a smile on his face and even laughed heartily as he looked at Yūto, his voice filled with heroic spirit:
"Your ambition will never be realized! Konoha will also never be destroyed by you."
"Where the leaves dance, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the Village, and as long as the Will of Fire does not die, Konoha will not perish!"
Yūto's expression was somewhat indifferent, calmly looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was suddenly filled with heroic spirit and had firm eyes.
A Ninja Hero?
Perhaps this was the reason back then Senju Tobirama chose Hiruzen Sarutobi to become Hokage.
"Is that so, but unfortunately, you won't see it."
Yūto said softly. With a flash of his body, he had already appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Extending a finger, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even make a defensive move, he lightly flicked Hiruzen Sarutobi's head.
Buzz!
Hiruzen Sarutobi only felt his brain violently shake. The next moment, his consciousness had already become blurry, and at the same time, he completely lost consciousness.
In Yūto's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not be considered a strong person, but that scene just now made Yūto suddenly feel that Hiruzen Sarutobi could be considered a figure.
Perhaps it was because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's heroic spirit before death.
It made Yūto not deal with him like he dealt with Orochimaru, but instead preserved the integrity of Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse.
