With a dazzling series of maneuvers, Senju Tobirama finally regained control of his own body.
However, as he felt his own strength, Senju Tobirama was still very worried about Senju Hashirama; as his younger brother, he clearly knew his elder brother's power.
Back when the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan were fighting, their younger brothers and subordinates fought to the death.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, however, were just playing around.
But even when they were just playing, their strength was far beyond what anyone else could match, and no one else realized the two were faking their fights.
Only Tobirama, who accurately knew Hashirama's strength and the intriguing relationship between Hashirama and Madara, knew that his elder brother was constantly putting on a show with Madara.
Recalling his thoughts, Senju Tobirama once again carefully assessed his body and silently came to a conclusion.
If the body my elder brother used for Edo Tensei is not much different from mine, he should be able to display one and a half tenths of his strength, right? Can Hiruzen and I truly stop him?
Orochimaru, having lost two minor accounts, did not feel he would lose.
They were just two small accounts; the main account was still in his hands.
After once again dodging an attack from Hidan, the ground Orochimaru stood on suddenly cracked, and a giant head emerged from beneath.
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
After dedicating all his bandwidth to Senju Hashirama, the man known as the God of Shinobi finally displayed his true power.
Orochimaru, also standing atop the Wood Golem's head, now looked down at the crowd below, a sinister and confident smile on his face.
"Wood Release: Wooden Dragon Jutsu!"
A thick Wooden Dragon appeared from behind the people below, rapidly surging towards them.
The few people present began to dodge, and Hiruzen Sarutobi did not forget to pull Itachi along with him.
Indeed, there were many abnormal individuals present; two of the four possessed immortal bodies, but besides Senju Tobirama and Hidan,
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi, facing the Wooden Dragon, were truly brushing against severe injury and touching death.
After casually coiling, the Wooden Dragon flew to the Wood Golem, wrapping around it and enriching the Golem's offensive capabilities.
Looking up at the Wood Golem's figure, which was comparable to a Tailed Beast, Itachi suddenly felt his horizons broadening.
When he awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi not only gained Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi but also received detailed information about another ocular jutsu.
Susanoo!
Itachi was not unfamiliar with Susanoo, which the Uchiha Clan called the Power of the Gods, but he had only recently learned such detailed information.
He finally understood why Susanoo was called the Power of the Gods.
However, compared to the Wood Golem before him, Itachi felt that Susanoo would need to be developed to an extremely profound level to possibly contend with it.
For some reason, the knowledge he had learned at the Ninja Academy, that the Third Hokage was the strongest Hokage of all time, suddenly appeared in his mind.
Itachi had a strong sense of familiarity, a feeling he had experienced with Yuuki; Itachi had always disliked Yuuki's extremely high-profile and boastful demeanor, exaggerating even the smallest matters.
Itachi, who had always felt that the Third Hokage's Ninja way was extremely compatible with his own, and that they were like-minded individuals, suddenly felt a sense of betrayal.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi had not communicated much in the days following the events in Konoha, Itachi had repeatedly replayed the details, realizing that Yuuki had probably seen through him long ago and played a trick on him.
Itachi, recalling how his own actions had led to Hiruzen Sarutobi's misjudgment, still felt some guilt towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But now!
There was no guilt left at all; so, you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Uchiha Tomoki, are the real good friends, and I'm just the fool you two have been playing with all along!
Itachi recalled a phrase Yuuki often said to him and silently made a decision in his heart.
Unlike the other three who were shocked by the Wood Golem, Senju Tobirama frowned slightly; after a moment of thought, he looked at Orochimaru atop the Wood Golem's head and couldn't help but sigh.
What a cautious young man!
He wasn't shocked by the Wood Golem's power, but rather questioned its strength; the Wood Golem's power had not reached the level Senju Tobirama expected.
Is the restricted body deliberately suppressing my elder brother's strength?
Or is he deliberately showing weakness in front of me now, only to unleash his full power at a critical moment?
Regardless of which it was, it made Senju Tobirama raise Orochimaru's perceived difficulty considerably; he could only launch a probing attack first.
"Hiruzen, it's time to go; you provide me with cover!"
