In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

Hashirama glanced at Tobirama Senju, who was motionless, completely entangled by Wood Release.

Hashirama's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Wood Release?"

He looked in Yoriichi's direction. Yoriichi was dressed in a black robe, his face cold, and his deep-set eyes were full of mystery.

"You...transplanted my cells?" Hashirama Senju asked with some concern.

This boy can actually use Wood Release attacks, so in this world, it would be very difficult for anyone to match him!

That Leaf Village...

As Hashirama Senju was pondering this, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Yes."

Hashirama quickly looked up, only to find that Yoriichi hadn't opened his mouth to speak at all.

"what happened?"

"Hallucination?"

Hashirama Senju found it strange, but soon another message echoed in his mind.

"It's not a hallucination, it's me, Uchiha Yoriichi, speaking to you, the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama..."

Yoriichi smiled slightly and activated his telepathy, opening a communication space with Hashirama Senju.

"You can communicate with me across space?" Hashirama thought to himself, then relayed the message to Yoriichi.

Yoriichi immediately replied in the communication space: "Yes."

Hashirama Senju felt a sense of novelty, but before he could continue the conversation, his body began to move involuntarily.

Orochimaru, hiding in the shadows, grew anxious. His eyes bulged with rage, and his face turned ashen. Yoriichi had Tobirama Senju under control. If he and Ryougi were to join forces to kill Hashirama Senju, then his two trump cards would be gone!

Orochimaru could not bear it any longer and directly manipulated Hashirama Senju to unleash the secret technique from his mouth—Top Transformation Buddha.

Hashirama Senju's expression changed, and he became anxious.

"Run! He's manipulating me to use the ultimate Wood Release technique!"

"The Buddha on top will destroy the entire village!" Hashirama was extremely panicked.

Upon hearing this, Yoriichi and Reiyu could no longer contain themselves.

Lingyu immediately asked in the communication space:

"How can we counter this move?"

"We have no choice but to kill the caster!" Hashirama Senju said with some helplessness.

He looked at the two people in front of him. Lingyu was Tsunade's apprentice, while Yoriichi was a member of the Uchiha clan from Konoha. Although he didn't know which side was on his side in the current situation, Hashirama still favored Yoriichi and Lingyu's group.

After all, one possesses the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Art, and the other has Tsunade's monstrous strength; they seem like they're on the same side no matter how you look at it.

But all of this is meaningless now; soon, a powerful force will engulf everyone.

The moment the Buddha image forms on the top, the entire village will be destroyed.

Hashirama Senju sighed softly, looking at the two of them. Even if Yoriichi could defeat Tobirama Senju, it was still a body resurrected by Edo Tensei.

Hashirama knew perfectly well that Tobirama's strength was only 70%, which was already a very strong Kage-level ability, but still far inferior to his own.

After being resurrected by Edo Tensei, Hashirama realized that his strength had reached its peak, coupled with the Edo Tensei body and endless chakra.

In his time, this was practically invincible...

Even if the two people in front of them are very strong, they have no chance of withstanding this move.

There's only one way now, and that is... run!

Run outside the village, wait until it's over, then sneak in and kill the culprit who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Only in this way can we avoid being used as a war machine to conquer the world.

Hashirama must be filled with immense regret right now. He had dedicated his life to advocating peace, yet he allowed his younger brother to research the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which was now being used as a weapon of war. The crucial point was that perhaps no one capable of defeating him had yet emerged in this era.

This would directly damage his image in the ninja world, and he and his younger brother Tobirama Senju would be drawn into the torrent of war.

No one can change... what's going to happen next.

"You...run!" Hashirama Senju said weakly.

"There might still be hope then..."

Yoriichi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a Buddha appeared above his head... Hashirama Senju's ultimate attack, with enough destructive power to destroy the entire village.

Why did Orochimaru manipulate Hashirama Senju to use this technique? Was it simply because he couldn't win and wanted everyone to die?

If that's the case, wouldn't he himself die because of it?

Logically speaking, Orochimaru is also a physical body, so he couldn't possibly be as resilient as Hashirama Senju's Edo Tensei form.

Could it be that he never intended to use this move in its entirety, and was merely bluffing?

No... Yoriichi realized that his thinking was somewhat flawed.

If they simply didn't want to unleash this move, how could they possibly force him and Lingyu to retreat or even kill them?

Although Hashirama Senju was in his complete form, he and Rin were strong enough to fight Hashirama Senju together, except for this one move, which they were completely outmatched by.

This shows that Orochimaru, having exhausted all other options, had no choice but to resort to this move!

But he couldn't risk his life by using this move, which means he had another survival strategy!

Did he learn some new long-range movement skill? That's highly unlikely.

Or perhaps Orochimaru acquired the Snake Concealment Technique, a technique capable of penetrating attacks?

This is the most likely explanation, but the fact that Orochimaru would risk destroying the entire village to use this move shows that he no longer cares about anything!

Including the village! Including his subordinates!

Orochimaru's goal... is to conquer the entire world using the power of the Impure World Reincarnation?

A terrible idea popped into Yoriichi's head and then spread rapidly and inevitably.

Yorimitsu's eyes narrowed slightly. Orochimaru's ambition was far too great. It seemed that Orochimaru had already begun his scheme from the moment Yorimitsu arrived in the Hidden Shadow Village.

His own strength was constantly increasing, surpassing even the Hokage and him. Orochimaru naturally wouldn't allow someone like him to exist...

Therefore, it is highly likely that Orochimaru learned some kind of life-saving secret technique during this period, and at the same time, extensively collected the genes of powerful individuals for use in the Impure World Reincarnation!

Yoriichi suddenly remembered something; he seemed to have transferred his body's vital energy to Orochimaru before!

After Orochimaru kills him, his body can be used to create... an artifact for the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Hurry up and leave!" Hashirama Senju roared again, his aura expanding until it covered the entire village.

The world turned pitch black; claustrophobia and terror were descending upon the village.

For a moment, Yuan Yi didn't know what to do. He could run away, but his other companions in Yin Yin Village might not be so lucky.

He can't run away on his own!

Find Orochimaru and kill him quickly!

This idea began to spread within Yoriichi's body, but in the distance, Orochimaru revealed a face with a wanton smile.

It was as if he already had victory in this war in his grasp.

Chapter 110 Power

"What should I do? What should I do?" Yoriichi was almost driven mad. If he hadn't gone crazy while fighting the two Kage just now, this scene was about to completely shatter his nerves.

He could escape with the feather, but everything he had built up, the Shadow Village, and the companions he had painstakingly gathered...

Are we all going to die here?

Orochimaru was hiding in the far outer perimeter. Yoriichi was not sure if he could kill him in one move. If the two of them fought, it would probably drag on until the Transformed Buddha at the top released his power!

Orochimaru has his own ideas, and he must have been prepared for this. He cannot be easily defeated!

Is the best solution simply to run away? To abandon everything, abandon one's companions, abandon the village, and become a lonely person again...?

Back to...

"Drip..." A drop of water fell into Yoriichi's dark heart, splashing water droplets. There, a little boy covered his head and was surrounded by a group of people.

"Kid, watch your step in this area from now on!" The speaker was a tall, imposing man with a rough voice and a mature appearance.

Yoriichi squatted on the ground, covering his head, motionless and silent, his face covered with wounds.

He had just been severely beaten by a man and a large group of people.

To protect his younger sister from being bullied, Yoriichi punched the bully. As a result, the boy cried and brought a large group of people, all of whom were tough-looking and muscular.

Yoriichi detests people like this: those who are all muscle and have the right to bully others, and who will gain a large following even if they don't actively fight.

Perhaps it's because they're afraid... afraid of being bullied by such people, so their fear has turned into admiration.

Girls also like muscular men because they feel safe with them.

This world is inherently about pleasing the strong. Because they are strong enough, they can bully anyone, and some of them go unpunished even after death, simply because... they are strong enough.

In fact, when Yoriichi first met the group, he was terrified, but... there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't let go of his manly pride. He pushed his sister, hoping she would leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to be beaten up by these people while his sister was watching.

My sister didn't leave...

Yoriichi squatted on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his body trembling uncontrollably. He covered his head with his hands, actually to block the tears streaming down his face.

"Brother...are you alright..." the younger sister cried.

Yoriichi didn't dare look at her, afraid that his sister would discover his fragile side. He had always been a proud little sun in front of his family.

Because of her intelligence, she was praised from a young age, which fostered a proud personality.

He believed in all things bright in the world and always dreamed of becoming that kind of person.

But only today did he realize how completely his ideals had shattered. Did they never think about the consequences?

He endured the pain and felt the unreality of the world.

Thankfully, my sister is alright...
