I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Shigure walked directly toward Orochimaru.

At the same time, a large group of ANBU ninjas, including Kakashi and Might Guy, also arrived.

This is bad.

Orochimaru's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Right at this moment!

Phew! !

A kunai pierced through Hiruzen's chest. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, looked at Hiruzen with a helpless expression. "You're still distracted during battle, Hiruzen. You're really getting old!"

The barrier was broken, which distracted Orochimaru. Hiruzen was also stunned for a moment. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but now their opponents were the First and Second Hokage!

Hiruzen was also helpless, feeling a bit cold in his body.

"I'm sorry, teacher!"

I was careless!

There was no point in apologizing at this point; Tobirama slowly pulled out the kunai.

Blood 603 spurted out of the wound instantly.

Half of Tobirama's face was stained red with the sprayed blood.

Looking at Hiruzen lying on the ground, Tobirama sighed helplessly.

"Sandaime-sama!"

Kakashi and Might Guy appeared behind Hiruzen immediately and caught the Third Hokage as he fell to the ground.

The two remained wary of Tobirama Senju.

However, there was no attack, because Orochimaru's order was only to attack Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Quick, take him to get treatment; there might still be a chance to save him."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and Guy exchanged a glance. Kakashi then picked up the Third Hokage and disappeared at top speed, heading straight for Konoha Hospital.

Kai slowly stood up. "My two Hokage, I am Might Guy, a Jonin of Konoha!"

It seems Kai means that he will continue the battle from here on out.

Tobirama nodded. "You showed no fear in the face of us, and I could see in your eyes that you were prepared to die!"

Hashirama: "Very good, I can rest assured that Konoha has a ninja like you! But Guy, sometimes you don't have to make selfless sacrifices."

Orochimaru, looking at the surrounding Anbu ninjas, said, "Hokage, let's make our move! Eliminate all these Konoha ninjas!"

"As Hokage, I'm giving you the opportunity to test the strength of the next generation of Konoha ninja!"

Orochimaru wasn't at ease knowing that Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't completely dead yet; he had to make sure his teacher was dead!

Therefore, Orochimaru prepared to chase after Hiruzen Sarutobi and deliver a complete and utter blow.

"You four! Hold off these ANBU ninjas!"

Orochimaru spoke to the Sound Four, who had recovered.

Just then, Orochimaru noticed that a plume of white smoke suddenly rose from the ground.

"Scatter, all of you! Stand back!"

The sound of rain began.

The ANBU ninjas, who were about to make their move, heard Shigure's voice and instinctively retreated upon seeing the white mist beneath their feet.

The white mist then spread in both directions, directly drawing a huge prototype.

Shiyu clasped her hands together in prayer.

At that moment, the first and second generations also turned their heads to look in Shigure's direction.

Hashirama: 'That brat from Konoha, wasn't he the one who dispelled the barrier belonging to that Orochimaru's subordinate just now!'

Tobirama: 'This is a change I've never felt before. What kind of ninjutsu is this?'

Instantly, the white mist began to rise.

Cloud Release: Smoke Prison!

The next second, a huge white cage formed.

At that moment, Shigure noticed that Orochimaru had disappeared. Such a keen sense! It was likely that Orochimaru had escaped the instant Shigure activated his white mist.

"Teacher Kai, jump out quickly!"

Kai was wondering what this was when he heard Shigure's words and turned around to see another gap behind him.

He rushed out, but in that instant, Kai glanced in Shigure's direction. 'Judging from this technique, it should be some kind of control technique. Not bad. If we can trap the First and Second Hokage here, that would be fantastic!'

but!

The moment Kai rushed out, he looked back at the huge smoke cage that had already formed. Wasn't that kid Shigure going to come out on his own?

Originally, Shigure wanted to imprison Orochimaru, along with the First and Second Hokage, in a cage.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru's senses were too sharp, and he escaped.

Now that the First and Second Hokage are imprisoned, it's not too bad. As for Orochimaru, it shouldn't be a problem to leave him to Might Guy to deal with.

After all, that was a man who almost ended the game with a single kick. If Orochimaru was about to risk his life, he probably would have had no choice but to run away!

Thinking of this, Shi Yu silently let out a breath.

Outside the smoke-filled cage, Might Guy gazed at Shigure, who had yet to emerge.

He roughly understood that this technique trapped the enemy while also trapping himself inside, similar to a barrier-like ninjutsu.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I didn't expect this kid to have such a unique barrier ninjutsu. I underestimated him!"

Orochimaru's voice rang out, and the Sound Four followed behind him as he stood on the roof of another building.

Kai looked at Orochimaru and said, "You are the caster. In other words, as long as I defeat you, the jutsu on the First and Second Hokage inside will naturally be removed, right?"

Orochimaru, upon hearing Guy's words, exclaimed, "Of course! But... can you really defeat me, Konoha's Blue Beast?"

Orochimaru is indeed wary of the Eight Gates, but if they don't confront each other directly and only avoid them, Orochimaru is still confident.

After all, when it comes to survival skills, Orochimaru is undoubtedly the best in the ninja world.

"Mr. Kai, what do we do now? What kind of magic is this? We can't seem to get in!"

A group of ANBU ninjas were examining Shigure's smoke cage.

Kai: "That must be Shigure's barrier ninjutsu. He's holding back the First and Second Hokage. Now we need to focus all our efforts on Orochimaru. Once we've dealt with Orochimaru, the First and Second Hokage's techniques will be dispelled!"

The ANBU ninjas exchanged glances, surprised that a mere genin kid possessed so many skills, even more terrifying than they, the ANBU members.

They even know barrier ninjutsu!

"Hurry, Shigure is inside too. Facing the attacks of the First and Second Hokage, he might not be able to hold out for long. If he gets killed by them..."

Kai stopped there.

"If the barrier ninjutsu is lifted and the First and Second Hokage come out, things will be even worse! We need to deal with Orochimaru as soon as possible!"

"yes!"?

Orochimaru chuckled. "Hehehe! What can you do if I just keep hiding and don't fight you, waiting for the First and Second Hokage to deal with the brats inside?"

"Now it's a battle of time! Let's see who can last longer!"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue. "But I think I'll be the one who lasts longer!"

Chapter 165 Analysis Begins with Hashirama and Tobirama

Enclosed in a smoky cage.

Hashirama and Tobirama both looked at Shigure.

"Kid, your technique is quite peculiar. It looks like a cloud, but it seems to have a high degree of hardness, and its toughness is also quite good. It would probably take a lot of time to break it by force!"

Hashirama only needed one glance to roughly tell what level of technique the Smoke Cage was.

Tobirama, standing to the side, was more interested. "I don't think I've ever felt this kind of chakra nature change before. Is it some kind of special bloodline limit?"

Hearing their questions, Shi Yu smiled.

"As expected of the First and Second Hokage!"

"You saw through my smoke cage so quickly. Not bad. With the First Hokage's chakra, it would probably take at least half an hour to break through this cage!"

"The prerequisite is that my chakra doesn't replenish it. If my chakra keeps replenishing, I probably'll never be able to break through!"

As he spoke, Shigure looked at the Second Hokage and said, "The Second Hokage's senses are also very sharp. This is my unique Cloud Release technique!"

"Cloud Escape?"

The two were stunned for a moment; they had never heard of such a technique before.

They had absolutely no idea what kind of chakra nature fusion had resulted in this change in nature.

However, just like clouds, the name is indeed correct.
