Yoruha nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that weak." Senju Hashirama stood atop a large tree, observing the massive wood fragments shattered by the Three-Tails, and nodded seriously, "The Three-Tails has indeed become much stronger than before."
Senju Tobirama appeared beside Hashirama, looking at the Three-Tails and said, "But with your abilities, big brother, even the current Three-Tails probably can't stop you."
Hashirama agreed, "That's right. I can't defy Orochimaru's orders now. His sealing technique is of a very high level, and I have no idea where he got it from."
Meanwhile, the Third Hokage frowned as he watched the scene unfold in front of Orochimaru. "Orochimaru, you seem to have a deep hatred for Yoruha. Is it because he once killed you?" Orochimaru chuckled, "Sensei, do you think I'm such a petty person?"
"I don't really hate him, but I'm very interested in his body. Such a perfect body would be ideal for my reincarnation." So Orochimaru's true goal was Yoruha's body, having shifted his focus from Sasuke to Yoruha. Others might not know Yoruha's strength, but Orochimaru was well aware.
The Third Hokage gritted his teeth, "You truly are becoming more and more evil. But it seems you're not very confident about defeating Yoruha?" "Even after summoning the four of us, I don't see any certainty on your face."
Orochimaru sneered, "Sensei, there's no need to test me. You don't understand Yoruha very well. Although I haven't fully grasped his capabilities over the years, I know that three years ago, he could instantly defeat Sakumo Hatake and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa."
"You could say that even back then, his strength wasn't much weaker than the First Hokage's. It's been three years; do you think he would have become weaker?" Orochimaru's words left the Third Hokage silent. Indeed, Yoruha was so exceptional; how could he possibly wish for Yoruha to die here?
But now, he couldn't control himself. With just a thought from Orochimaru, he would have to give his all to kill Yoruha. The Third Hokage looked at Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama standing on the tree. "The two of you alone might be more than Yoruha can handle. If you add me and the Fourth, Yoruha, can you cope?"
The Third Hokage was very worried. He didn't know much about Yoruha, although he knew he was strong. Orochimaru also said he was powerful, but without seeing it firsthand, how could he be sure? In this situation, if Yoruha wasn't careful, he could face eternal damnation. Orochimaru didn't seem to be pushing the four to their limits.
The Third and Fourth Hokage were not being commanded. They just stood by Orochimaru's side, watching. The Third was extremely tense, while the Fourth was very curious about Yoruha.
Yoruha stood on the back of the Three-Tails, looking at Senju Hashirama across from him, and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know if I should use that. Forget it, if I defeat the First Hokage with it, it'll make me seem arrogant." Yoruha initially considered using Wood Release, but thinking that defeating Hashirama with it would be disrespectful, he abandoned the idea.
"Then I'll use the Five Elements Jutsu." Yoruha glanced at the Third Hokage in the distance. This time, Yoruha decided not to use any Kekkei Genkai techniques but instead planned to rely entirely on conventional Five Elements Jutsu.
Orochimaru watched Yoruha with a scrutinizing gaze. He wanted to test just how strong Yoruha had become. Although Yoruha was indeed powerful, Orochimaru hadn't gathered much information about him over the past three years.
His information-gathering skills were admittedly average. But that was understandable, as Orochimaru's strengths lay in various experiments. He knew a bit about intelligence gathering but wasn't particularly skilled at it.
In the Hidden Leaf Village, he mainly relied on Danzo to provide him with information. However, since Danzo didn't know much about Yoruha, how could he possibly provide Orochimaru with any intelligence?
Even though Hashirama was reluctant to attack Yoruha, he couldn't refuse due to Orochimaru's orders and the sealing technique within him. Before attacking, Hashirama shouted, "Yoruha, be careful, my Wood Release is not easy to handle." Yoruha nodded without speaking.
At this moment, the Three-Tails also sensed the chakra emanating from Hashirama. "As expected of the First Hokage, this chakra is incredibly powerful." "It's even more than mine."
For a human to possess more chakra than the Three-Tails was astonishing. Besides Yoruha, Hashirama was the second. "Yoruha, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in the upcoming battle," the Three-Tails said. Yoruha calmly replied, "Three-Tails, you don't need to participate in this battle. I'll handle it alone."
The Three-Tails was taken aback. "Are you crazy? That's the First Hokage, along with three other Hokage. Can you handle them all by yourself?" "You're strong, but don't be so arrogant." Yoruha glanced at the Three-Tails with a calm expression. "I just don't want you to die again."
"Alright, no more talking, let's go." Before the Three-Tails could respond, it found itself on the surface of the sea hundreds of kilometers away. The Three-Tails looked around, bewildered. "Is this the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Did that guy just teleport me here?" The Three-Tails was stunned. To be teleported here in an instant was merely a thought for Yoruha. "It seems this guy is really strong. He should be able to defeat those four, right?"
Although the Three-Tails was worried, it was now so far away that it couldn't even sense Yoruha's presence. The fact that Yoruha could teleport it here indicated his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if he couldn't win, he could always use the technique to escape. Yoruha had moved the Three-Tails away because it was too much of a hindrance.
The Three-Tails had already served its purpose by making an appearance. Staying any longer would be pointless. If the Three-Tails knew Yoruha's reasoning, it would probably be furious. It had been ready to die again, only for Yoruha to use it as a mere showpiece.
Moving it away was because it was no longer useful by Yoruha's side. To the other Hokage and Orochimaru, Yoruha's decision to move the Three-Tails seemed like a major blunder. After all, the Three-Tails was quite powerful, and they believed it could help alleviate some of the pressure on Yoruha.
Tobirama Senju shook his head. "Is this kid worried about the Three-Tails' safety? Doesn't he know that tailed beasts can be revived after death?" "This is reckless. The upcoming battle will be troublesome."
"Brother, I'm afraid this new star of the Leaf will fall here today," Tobirama said, doubting that Yoruha could take on all four of them. Even though Yoruha also knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama was confident that his mastery surpassed Yoruha's.
After all, he was the one who created the Flying Thunder God Technique.
