At this moment, Orochimaru suddenly realized he could no longer control the Second Mizukage.
His expression instantly darkened.
*Did that guy seal the Second Mizukage?*
He hastily tried to manipulate the Third Raikage, only to find that he was immobilized as well.
His face grew increasingly grim.
*This guy's sealing jutsu is incredibly advanced.*
Meanwhile, Ryōsuke charged toward the Second Hokage.
As the shinobi world's master of forbidden jutsu, the Second Hokage naturally understood that this young man was wielding a sealing technique.
He couldn't help but admire such masterful sealing jutsu; it was something he could never achieve himself.
Not even the Uzumaki Clan, renowned for their sealing jutsu, could execute a technique like this on their own. It would normally require the coordinated effort of several people, and the target would have to be completely immobilized.
A sealing jutsu that activated the moment physical contact was made in battle was simply too profound.
He naturally wanted to be sealed so he wouldn't become a murderer destroying his own village.
But how could Orochimaru allow the Second Hokage to be sealed so easily?
He forced the Second Hokage to throw a kunai at the rapidly approaching Uchiha Ryōsuke.
Just as Ryōsuke reached him, the Second Hokage instantly teleported to the kunai.
He then thrust a Rasengan directly at Uchiha Ryōsuke.
Ryōsuke naturally sensed the Second Hokage's position in an instant.
With his current physique, taking a Rasengan head-on wouldn't pose any real danger.
But he had no intention of getting hit.
Executing a swift spinning kick before the Rasengan could connect, Ryōsuke struck first, sending the Second Hokage flying and completely shattering half of his body.
Then, Ryōsuke slammed his palm into the Second Hokage's stomach.
Another one sealed.
Even though the Second Hokage was now sealed, his body continued to regenerate.
It slowly reformed back to its original state.
*Impure World Reincarnation truly is a terrifying jutsu.*
However, the Second Hokage was now completely immobilized.
A hint of relief appeared on the Second Hokage's face.
"Young man, well done."
*This young man from the Uchiha Clan crushed me with ease. Even in my reanimated state, there aren't many who could have blocked that sneak attack.*
*Yet this guy reacted in time.*
*He is incredibly strong.*
Ryōsuke ignored the Second Hokage; his next target was the Second Tsuchikage, Mū.
The man had already regenerated his body and concealed his presence.
But such stealth was completely useless against Ryōsuke. Staring directly in one direction, he dashed forward like a bolt of lightning.
Even as Orochimaru manipulated Mū to dodge while invisible, Ryōsuke tracked him effortlessly and planted a palm squarely on his body.
He instantly sealed both Mū's chakra and physical form.
Orochimaru was left speechless by the sight.
His brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed.
*This guy sealed four of my pawns in an instant.*
*He is terrifyingly abnormal.*
*What a powerful physique.*
*He must have cultivated the Eight Inner Gates to an extremely high level.*
He had naively believed that under the combined siege of five shinobi world experts, Uchiha Ryōsuke would inevitably become his new vessel.
But now, he had changed his mind.
*I can't hold back anymore.*
He immediately controlled Senju Hashirama, forcing him to clasp his hands together.
Dark green markings appeared around Hashirama's eyes.
He had activated Sage Mode.
Sage Mode allowed the user to harness natural energy, exponentially amplifying the power of their ninjutsu.
Sage Mode was a technique Orochimaru had always dreamed of acquiring, but he had failed to pass the trials of the Ryūchi Cave.
Now, however, by using Hashirama, he could finally experience the power of senjutsu firsthand.
Naturally, to unleash the number one Wood Style ninjutsu in the shinobi world, this state was absolutely necessary.
At the same time, he manipulated Hashirama to clasp his hands together once more.
"Sage Art Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands."
This was the absolute strongest Wood Style ninjutsu.
A colossal wooden statue of a Bodhisattva erupted from the ground, possessing a thousand arms.
The earth began to quake violently. Even the Susanoo that Ryōsuke had summoned looked like a mere child standing before it.
Even Senju Hashirama felt his heart sink. *This Orochimaru is Monkey's disciple.*
*To think he even knows about this jutsu... He really must have studied me extensively.*
*This Wood Style ninjutsu was powerful enough to shatter the massive Susanoo that Uchiha Madara summoned in combination with the Nine-Tails' chakra.*
*Can this young man before me withstand it?*
He had tried to break free from the Impure World Reincarnation, but Orochimaru had tampered with this vessel, making it difficult even for him to break the binding.
Right now, he could only place his hopes on this young man from the Uchiha Clan.
Meanwhile, the Second Hokage, who had long since fallen to the ground, felt a heavy sense of astonishment.
*This Orochimaru even brought out my older brother's strongest Wood Style ninjutsu. It's absolutely infuriating.*
For the first time, he felt that inventing the Impure World Reincarnation was a mistake.
*I really should have listened to my brother.*
*I just hope this Uchiha youth can hold his ground.*
Even the Second Mizukage, the Second Tsuchikage, and the Third Tsuchikage wore expressions of utter shock.
*Is this the true power of the God of Shinobi?*
Even though they were illustrious Kage-level experts, compared to this true God of Shinobi, they were like the faint glow of a firefly competing with the bright moon in the sky.
Even Obito was shaken to his core.
*Truly worthy of the title God of Shinobi. This True Several Thousand Hands is even more terrifying than an incomplete Ten-Tails lacking Tailed Beast chakra. He truly lives up to his name. I'm afraid only a fully resurrected Ten-Tails could rival this.*
*But it's such a pity.*
*Even a man like this still couldn't protect the Leaf Village.*
*As expected, true peace does not exist in the shinobi world.*
The wooden Bodhisattva statue, standing over nine thousand meters tall, towered over the land. There was no way the Leaf Village ninja, currently resisting the White Zetsu invasion, could miss it.
Such a terrifying sight filled them with endless dread.
The White Zetsu clones sprouting from the ground were already difficult enough to deal with.
Although their individual strength wasn't very high, their sheer numbers were overwhelming, and there were even a few exceptionally powerful ones among them.
Some were even comparable to Kage-level experts.
Fortunately, the Leaf Village's barrier had detected their positions.
Even so, they were still locked in a bitter struggle.
Luckily, they had prepared in advance and deployed their forces accordingly.
Otherwise, under such a sudden assault, the Leaf Village would likely have been destroyed in an instant.
It couldn't be helped; the enemy's numbers were simply too vast, and they fought without any fear of death.
Despite their preparations, the ninja still suffered significant casualties.
Yet, in this critical moment, the Leaf Village ninja battled the White Zetsu without fear of death.
A ninja's duty was to protect the village. Moreover, the enemy had attacked their home base, and right behind them were ordinary civilians.
Right now, they couldn't afford to take a single step back.
