The Third Hokage also woke up at this moment, secretly mocking himself:
"The Second Hokage's greatest strength was speed, and he was the one who developed the Dark Travel Technique. It's wishful thinking of me to think I could seal the Second Hokage with the Dark Travel Technique he developed."
Even so, the Third Hokage gritted his teeth and created three more shadow clones, which surrounded the Second Hokage who was not far away.
Perhaps because he was surrounded by three shadow clones this time, the Second Hokage was unable to escape again. After several dodges, he was ultimately pinned to the spot.
However, what no one noticed was that under the Second Hokage's feet, a vine, after being loosened, quietly retreated to the side.
With the assistance of Uchiha Kagami, the Third Hokage was able to capture the First, Second, and Fourth Kazekage, and use the Reaper Death Seal Technique to extract their souls and seal them within the Shinigami's body.
At this moment, Orochimaru, realizing that his Impure World Reincarnation technique had been broken by the Third Hokage, finally began to panic.
At this moment, Orochimaru's Dark Travel Technique was finally broken, and he saw the Third Hokage panting not far away, looking like he was about to collapse, and even the chakra in his body seemed to be about to be exhausted.
"Teacher, it seems you are truly getting old. In that case, let me, your disciple, see you off on your final journey."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he tilted his head back, pulled a Kusanagi sword from his mouth, and charged towards the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage was indeed in a very bad state at this time. He didn't have much chakra to begin with, and he had not only gone through an intense battle, but also sealed three Kage-level powerhouses in succession, leaving him with very little chakra.
When he saw Orochimaru charging towards him with a sword in hand, the Third Hokage forced a smile and said breathlessly:
"Orochimaru, today, let's settle our master-disciple relationship!"
After finishing his speech, the Third Hokage mustered the last bit of chakra in his body and charged towards Orochimaru.
Squeak~
To Orochimaru's surprise, the Third Hokage did not dodge at all when facing the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, but charged straight at him, and the sword went straight through his chest.
Snapped! !
Just as Orochimaru was taken aback, the Third Hokage, enduring the excruciating pain, gripped Orochimaru tightly with both hands with a soft thud.
"Orochimaru, to prevent you from harming Konoha again, I'll accompany you on your journey. Reaper Death Seal Technique!!"
When the giant, transparent hand that emerged from the Third Hokage's chest grabbed Orochimaru's soul, Orochimaru finally saw the phantom of the Grim Reaper behind the Third Hokage.
"Damn old man, you actually used the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique! It seems you really intend to kill me!"
At this moment, Orochimaru finally felt fear. As he experienced the tearing pain in his soul, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
However, at this time, Orochimaru's soul had been half torn out, so he couldn't even use ninjutsu. He could only circulate his chakra and struggle with the Third Hokage.
Just then, Uchiha Kagami's clone, who was hiding to the side, looked at Orochimaru's disheveled appearance, thought for a moment, and finally sighed and twitched his fingers slightly.
Snapped!
With a soft thud, the roof tiles beneath Orochimaru and the Third Hokage seemed unable to bear their weight any longer and broke, causing them to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the weak Enma, who was unable to stand up, reached out helplessly, trying to grab the Third Hokage's body, but ultimately grasped nothing.
Boom! !
The breaking of the tile was like the beginning, and then the entire roof collapsed completely with a roar, burying the Third Hokage and Orochimaru inside.
Chapter 557 Kakashi and Obito
Boom! !
Perhaps because the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru was so fierce, the very sturdy roof collapsed, producing a huge roar.
The four people from the Hidden Sound Village who were maintaining the Crimson Flame Formation lost their footing and fell down, thus destroying the formation.
Upon seeing this scene, the villagers of Konoha exchanged glances before rushing towards the ruins.
Just then, a corner of the ruins was suddenly ripped open by a tremendous force, revealing a disheveled Orochimaru and the people of Otogakure.
At this moment, Orochimaru's face was extremely pale, and even a piece of skin on his face had fallen off, vaguely revealing his true appearance.
However, Orochimaru could no longer care about any of that at this moment. He glared fiercely at the ruins and said with hatred in his eyes,
"Damn old man, he's asking for death and he wants to drag me down with him. Once I recover, I'm going to destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village."
After saying that, Orochimaru dared not delay any longer and immediately directed the people who were helping him to run out of the village.
Because the people from the surrounding Konoha villages were not very strong, after surrounding them, they only managed to leave two of the Otogakure villagers alive.
High in the sky, Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru's departing figure with a complex expression, then turned to Uchiha Kagami beside her and asked:
"Kiyama-kun, are you really going to let Orochimaru escape so easily?"
The death of the Third Hokage was a foregone conclusion, and Tsunade, faced with Orochimaru's killing of the Third Hokage, was at a loss for what to do, her emotions were very complicated.
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head and said:
“This Orochimaru is still somewhat useful, and he has many ways to save his life. Even if we kill this one, he can still revive. Let him go.”
Uchiha Kakuzan was still hoping that Orochimaru could further refine the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which would make the final battle more interesting.
It should be noted that even with Kabuto Yakushi's talent, he was still somewhat lacking in the ability to optimize the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which is why Uchiha Kagakuyama released Orochimaru so easily.
Just as Tsunade was about to say something, Uchiha Kagami seemed to sense something, turned his head to look in another direction, and frowned slightly.
"There seems to be spatial fluctuation in that area. Am I sensing something wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Kakuyama vanished from the spot.
Currently, in the entire ninja world, besides Uchiha Obito, the person most skilled in using space-time ninjutsu should be considered Uchiha Obito.
Therefore, after sensing the spatial fluctuations, Uchiha Kakuzan did not dare to be careless and rushed over immediately.
That direction was precisely where Kakashi was fighting.
呲~
With a sharp sound, Kakashi swung his White Fang sword and flashed it quickly, piercing through an enemy's neck. The enemy clutched his neck in terror, but ultimately collapsed to the ground.
"The eleventh, Kai, how many have you got?"
"Konoha Whirlwind, I'm going!"
With a straight kick from Kai, the enemy in front of him was easily swept against the wall, the sound of bones cracking echoing as he collapsed to the ground.
"Kakashi, this is my twelfth! I'm in the lead this round!"
Upon hearing Gai's words, Kakashi smiled, but his eyes turned to another enemy not far away. Without saying a word, he charged towards him, his white fangs gleaming even more brightly.
"Damn Kakashi, you cheated!"
After seeing what Kakashi had done, Guy didn't bother to show off. After shouting, he charged toward another enemy.
Just as Kakashi's White Fang was about to slice through the enemy's neck, he suddenly felt a chill. Without even thinking, he immediately unleashed a burst of powerful chakra and dodged to the other side.
Then, Kakashi noticed out of the corner of his eye that there was now an arm in the spot where he had just been standing, with the index finger and thumb loosely interlocked. This discovery sent a chill down Kakashi's spine, and his entire back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
How could Kakashi not know that location?
If he hadn't dodged, his eyes might have been gouged out.
However, Kakashi didn't dare stay in place at that moment. After catching a glimpse of the arm out of the corner of his eye, he shot off in the opposite direction. Only after he was some distance away did he shout in that direction:
"Obito, I know it's you. How dare you return to Konoha? Aren't you afraid of Lord Uchiha Kakuzan?"
As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, a figure appeared in that spot.
The figure wore a vortex mask and Akatsuki uniform, standing there silently watching Kakashi.
Upon seeing this figure, a complex expression flashed in Kakashi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
“Obito, this is Konoha Village. You have long been listed as a rogue ninja of Konoha Village. If I were you, I would leave this place far away and would never come back.”
After hearing Kakashi's words, Obito Uchiha could no longer contain himself, his tone filled with intense hatred:
"Kakashi, you coward! All you do is hide in Konoha all day long. You're too scared to face me."
"Now is perfect. The entire Hidden Leaf Village is in chaos right now, and there's no one to come to your aid. Let me take you to the Pure Land so you can properly apologize to Rin."
After Obito Uchiha finished speaking, a chain appeared on his hand, and he charged towards Kakashi.
Kakashi trembled violently after hearing Obito Uchiha's words.
For Kakashi, Rin's death was an eternal pain, especially since she died at his hands. So when he heard Obito Uchiha mention Rin's name, his mind went completely blank.
"Konoha's great whirlwind!"
Just as Obito Uchiha was about to pounce on Kakashi, a green figure suddenly appeared beside him and quickly kicked him.
Unfortunately, just as Guy's leg struck Obito Uchiha, it was as if he had struck a phantom; his entire body passed right through Obito's shadow.
This discovery made Kai react immediately. He stomped his foot, changed the direction of his body, and quickly kicked towards his back.
Chapter 558 Black Jue appears
"Ha! No wonder he's a piece of trash who can only practice physical techniques. Since he knows he can't hit me, he still keeps attacking. Kai, does this guy really not have a brain?"
After seeing Guy's actions, Obito Uchiha smirked, but ignored him and rushed towards Kakashi.
"I'll fight~"
However, to Obito's surprise, after the kick came towards him and passed through her body, she did not stop and continued to rush forward at an extremely fast speed, which made Obito slightly stunned.
Bang!
While Obito Uchiha was slightly stunned, Guy had already rushed in front of Kakashi and stepped on Kakashi's chest, causing Kakashi's body to quickly retreat, thus avoiding Obito Uchiha's next attack.
"Kakashi, now is not the time to be distracted. Quickly fire the signal flare to notify Lord Kazuyama."
Although Kai wasn't very smart, he knew that the reason he couldn't attack the person in front of him was because this person was skilled in space-time ninjutsu.
The only person who can counter space-time ninjutsu is another person who is skilled in space-time ninjutsu.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to notify Lord Uchiha Kakuzan and ask him to come here to provide assistance.
At this moment, after Kakashi was kicked away by Guy, the intense pain brought him back to his senses. He quickly steadied himself, and with a thought, his Mangekyou Sharingan automatically activated, staring intently at Uchiha Obito not far away.
"Kai, you can't handle this guy at all. Let me handle it. You go and inform Lord Akiyama."
Originally, Obito Uchiha was quite relaxed, but after seeing the Mangekyou Sharingan in Kakashi's eyes, he didn't dare to approach for a moment.
Obito Uchiha also knew that Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan was a perfect counter to his Hollowfication, and if he rashly went forward, he might be injured by their combined attack.
"Kakashi, as long as you return my Mangekyou Sharingan to me, we'll call it even."
At this moment, Kakashi was staring intently at Obito Uchiha, and upon hearing his words, he frowned slightly and refused:
"Impossible, Obito. Although this Mangekyou Sharingan is yours, you are now an enemy of Konoha. If I were to return the Mangekyou Sharingan to you, it would only increase your threat to Konoha. Even if I had to destroy this Mangekyou Sharingan, I would never return it to you."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Obito Uchiha's expression turned quite grim.
He naturally understood that Kakashi wasn't a pedantic person, so how could he possibly return the Sharingan to him based on just a few words? He only asked the question out of a sense of optimism.
Just as Kakashi and Guy were on high alert, watching Obito Uchiha not far away, several white things suddenly swelled up violently on their bodies.
"Wood Release: Spore Technique!"
"Obito, hurry up and make your move! I've already absorbed almost all of Kakashi's chakra."
It turns out that while Kakashi was fighting Uchiha Kakuzan, White Zetsu secretly sprinkled spores on Kakashi and Guy.
When he saw that Obito Uchiha was unable to fight back because he was restrained by Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan, he immediately used the Spore Technique.
At this moment, Kakashi's chakra was rapidly depleted due to the Spore Technique, which naturally prevented him from maintaining the Mangekyou Sharingan, causing it to automatically shut down.
Upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha smiled smugly, but dared not delay. He rushed towards Kakashi, raising his right hand and aiming it at Kakashi's Sharingan.
"The Eight Gates Formation, the sixth gate, the Gate of View, open for me!"
Just as Obito's finger was about to touch Kakashi's eye, a loud shout suddenly came from beside him.
"Leaf Vajra Whirlwind!"
Upon hearing this voice, Obito Uchiha was startled and instinctively used Intangibility.
At that moment, a powerful shockwave passed right through his body.
Although the shockwave did not hit Obito Uchiha's body, it sent several White Zetsu clones flying.
"You damned bastards, all of you, die! Chao Kongque!!"
At this moment, because Kai had already opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates, his body was surging with intense energy, his face was flushed red, and the veins on his face were bulging.
Just then, a hand suddenly slapped on Kai's shoulder, and the green chakra light emanating from the hand forcefully suppressed the fluctuations of Kai's blood energy.
Then, a very gentle voice rang out:
"Kai, there's no need to use your special moves on such a minor character. Leave it to me."
