Chapter 134: The Arrival of Uchiha Feiyu

Just as the Second Hokage and Orochimaru were locked in a stalemate, two figures walked toward the outside of Orochimaru's secret base.

As the two figures drew closer, their full appearances were revealed: one was a woman with a voluptuous figure, snow-white skin, and blonde hair, wearing an old-fashioned green coat with a large character for "gamble" written on the back.

The other was a young girl of about fifteen or sixteen, with delicate features, short hair, and a somewhat timid expression on her face.

"This must be the place Great-Grandfather mentioned; that stinking snake Orochimaru should be hiding right here."

The blonde woman glanced at the surrounding terrain and muttered to herself.

At this moment, the short-haired girl stepped forward:

"Lady Tsunade, how should we go about finding Lord Second Hokage? Orochimaru's base must be filled with traps!"

Tsunade tossed her hair, gave a light huff, and said:

"Don't worry, as for traps and the like, once you tear open the rat hole, they naturally won't be of any use!"

"Shizune, move back a little further and watch how I smash this snake hole to pieces!"

Hearing this, Shizune immediately retreated a hundred meters away, while Tsunade loosened her wrists and ankles, gathered all her chakra, and slammed a fierce punch into the ground.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly turned his head and looked toward the Second Hokage.

In other words, the Second Hokage was now able to sense the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Kunai; although he hadn't left any coordinates in the outside world, he could easily teleport within the base and leave directly.

"What is going on? How could someone attack the secret base at a time like this?"

Although Orochimaru was quite confident in himself, he did not believe that the strength of himself and his subordinates could truly rival Konoha.

However, the Second Hokage clearly did not want to leave just like that—with his abilities, if he had truly wanted to leave, he could have done so long before he and Orochimaru had truly started fighting.

The reason he had to stay here and engage in this dangerous battle with Orochimaru was, firstly, for the improved version of the Living Corpse Reincarnation, and secondly, and most importantly, to finish off Orochimaru once and for all.

As the vibrations from the outside grew stronger, countless cracks appeared throughout the secret chamber, and the various seals Orochimaru had originally placed in the chamber completely collapsed; not only was the Mixed Origin Treasure Box Technique unusable, but the suppression of the Flying Thunder God Technique had also vanished.

"Not to mention that the surveillance barrier throughout the base has been monitoring your chakra, and there is no record of you leaving!"

"It is not just Space-Time Ninjutsu that can move quickly; Soul Ninja Technique can also achieve such things!"

Besides himself, the only other person who knew the location of this base was the Second Hokage!

Orochimaru was also full of wariness toward the Second Hokage; at least in his monitoring, he had not seen the Second Hokage make any moves to leave and seek reinforcements, but clearly, the Second Hokage had deceived him, successfully bypassing Orochimaru's eyes and establishing contact with the outside world.

This child is like me; he must not be left alive!

"Hehe... it's Tsunade, isn't it? I never expected the Second Hokage's backup plan to actually be my old classmate..."

In the eyes of the Second Hokage, his assessment of Orochimaru was:

Orochimaru was slightly stunned for a moment before quickly reacting; the movement speed of a soul, over a short distance, was really not necessarily slower than Space-Time Ninjutsu, and after the soul left the body, because the physical body remained in the base, the chakra still remained in place according to the base's barrier detection.

Konoha did not move against Orochimaru simply because they did not want to suffer losses, but if news from the Second Hokage were to get out, Konoha would absolutely mobilize its entire force to find a way to crush him to death.

At this moment, Orochimaru and the Second Hokage, who were busy hurting each other, also felt a series of tremors; Orochimaru's expression changed, while a smile appeared on the corner of the Second Hokage's mouth.

"And there is no better anchor than a bloodline that shares the same origin as one's own—speaking of which, you should know who I found by now!"

Orochimaru was puzzled, both shocked and angry; one had to know that this secret base was originally intended for reincarnation, and to prevent being taken advantage of during the period of weakness, Orochimaru hadn't even told his own ninja subordinates.

With a loud boom, the earth trembled, and countless massive cracks instantly appeared; the ground centered on Tsunade was smashed into a giant crater resembling a spiderweb, as if an earth-shattering earthquake had erupted.

"Lord Second Hokage... how exactly did you send out the information? Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, you shouldn't have had any external coordinates!"

"Then I wonder, Lord Second Hokage, who exactly is the helper you found? It shouldn't be Konoha, otherwise, a large force would have already attacked by now."

"Want to fish for information? But it doesn't matter, I can tell you directly: even if Soul Ninja Technique appears to be able to reach anywhere, it actually still requires an anchor."

"However, as far as I know, that woman Tsunade is still deeply trapped in hemophobia and hasn't fully recovered; how did Lord Second Hokage manage to persuade your granddaughter to come and help?"

With a loud clang, the door to the secret chamber was smashed open, and the blonde-haired Tsunade walked straight in, looking at Orochimaru and the Second Hokage, who were currently sprawled on the ground.

"Great-Grandfather, Orochimaru... you two really were fighting intensely!"

Glancing at the two, Tsunade couldn't help but click her tongue; whether it was Orochimaru or Senju Tobirama, their personalities and temperaments could be described as cold and stern, and it was truly the first time Tsunade had seen them lying on the ground, exhausted like this.

This also showed that the two had truly fought to the bitter end; if she hadn't appeared, Great-Grandfather would likely have ended up perishing together with Orochimaru.

"It really is you, but what I didn't expect was, Tsunade, have you completely overcome your hemophobia?"

The pale-faced Orochimaru said in a low voice; one had to know that his original body had already been blown to pieces when the White Phosphorus Eight Branches Snake appeared, and the secret chamber was not just flowing with blood, but covered in blood and shredded flesh everywhere.

If this were the original Tsunade, she would likely have had her legs go weak the moment she entered the door of the secret chamber, let alone talk with such composure now.

"It was just a small ninja technique; I modified her eyes, and now all red colors appear as green in her eyes."

The Second Hokage said with a calm expression, which made Orochimaru pause for a moment before he reacted:

"A very simple eye surgery; as expected of Lord Second Hokage, by just changing a small line of thinking, you allowed Tsunade to recover her abilities."

"Now is not the time to be talking about these things, Great-Grandfather!"

"Orochimaru, you bastard... you actually dared to disturb Great-Grandfather's soul; this time I will absolutely not forgive you!"

Tsunade clenched her fists and walked over swaggeringly; the Legendary Sannin each had their own strengths, but if one were to talk only about combat ability, Tsunade was undoubtedly at the bottom.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was now suffering from all sorts of injuries and could barely even stand up, let alone Tsunade; even the little girl Shizune by her side could easily handle him.

"Tsunade, don't finish off Orochimaru directly; this guy must have left behind quite a few backup plans. Let's seal him first!"

The Second Hokage sat up from the ground and slowly gave the order.

During the previous battle, the Second Hokage had already exhausted his Evil-Breaking Qi and had no good way to deal with souls in the short term, so he could only seal Orochimaru first.

Moreover, Orochimaru's brain indeed contained a lot of research data; once he was sealed, Senju Tobirama would naturally have ways to extract all this data from his brain.

However, at this moment, Orochimaru gave a strange smile:

"Isn't it a bit too early to treat me like meat on a chopping block?"

"Lord Second Hokage, you aren't the only one who can call for reinforcements!"

No sooner had Orochimaru finished speaking than ripples began to stir in the void. The Second Hokage's expression also changed slightly.

A strange hole quickly tore open in the space of the base, and then a young man with a smile on his lips walked out from within.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you look so disheveled, Teacher. But a mad scientist being bitten back by his own creation is truly a scene with a strong sense of déjà vu."

Orochimaru, sprawled on the ground, had his Yin Corpse Painted Skin roll its eyes as he spoke:

"Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter; Tsunade and the Second Hokage are not that easy to deal with."

"You are Orochimaru's disciple, that Uchiha brat?"

The Second Hokage asked with a frown, but as this guy spoke, one hand behind his back had already formed hand seals.

Before Uchiha Feiyu could even answer, a highly targeted Genjutsu had already been casually cast by this Second Hokage:

"Genjutsu—Darkness Technique!"

Yet, just as this Genjutsu, specifically developed to counter the Uchiha, was cast, Uchiha Feiyu showed no reaction; instead, Senju Tobirama's vision went black, and not only his sight, but his other pure five senses were completely stripped away.

"Tsk... Using a Genjutsu that controls the five senses in front of me, that is truly showing off one's skill before Guan Gong."

Seeing her granduncle taken down in one move, Tsunade gasped and released her Yin Seal without hesitation.

Strange Talismans instantly spread from Tsunade's forehead across her entire body; feeling the surging chakra within her and her strength increased to the limit, Tsunade clenched her fists, finally feeling a little bit of confidence.

Then, when she looked up at Uchiha Feiyu, she happened to see a pair of blood-red Sharingan, and in an instant, the world changed color.

Tsukuyomi!

This was a Genjutsu that Uchiha Feiyu rarely used against enemies, but often used for his own training; however, this did not mean the power of this Genjutsu was weak, it was just that Uchiha Feiyu had too many moves, which was why this powerful Genjutsu had little presence.

After locking eyes with Uchiha Feiyu, Tsunade was defeated by Tsukuyomi almost instantly; Uchiha Feiyu didn't even attack her spiritual body, merely making her cycle through the time periods of Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan's deaths, which caused this famous female ninja to have a mental breakdown.

"Lady Tsunade! You guy, what did you do?"

Standing to the side, Shizune was shocked; she actually knew Uchiha Feiyu, as they had both attended the Ninja Academy in Konoha, and even if they weren't in the same class or grade, their ages weren't far apart, so they could barely be considered acquaintances.

But although she knew Uchiha Feiyu had extraordinary talent and impressive strength, having rendered great service in the Ninja World War, he shouldn't have been able to instantly defeat the Second Hokage and Lady Tsunade like this!

It could only be said that Uchiha Feiyu had played the mastermind well; almost no one in the entire Ninja World had much understanding of his strength, and even his old employer, Konoha, only recognized Uchiha Feiyu as a very troublesome Shadow-level Uchiha.

Facing Shizune, who had drawn senbon and was preparing to attack, Uchiha Feiyu also waved his hand, and Five Senses Control instantly stripped away all of Shizune's senses, silencing her in a flash.

The air was deathly quiet; Orochimaru, who had just opened his mouth to warn Uchiha Feiyu to be careful, had a slightly awkward smile on his face.

He knew his disciple progressed quickly, but not this quickly!

You doing this makes me, who just ended up in a stalemate with the Second Hokage, look really dull!

"Teacher Orochimaru, since you have no way to control the Second Hokage, then these few are now my spoils of war, what do you think?"

Looking at Uchiha Feiyu's smiling expression, Orochimaru could only roll his eyes to show he accepted it—what else could he do?

Don't look at the fact that he was Uchiha Feiyu's teacher; in this godforsaken Ninja World, after a student finishes their apprenticeship and thinks they are hot stuff, the thing they love doing most is to first stab their teacher, beautifully calling it severing bonds!

Orochimaru reckoned he couldn't withstand the Kusanagi Sword in Uchiha Feiyu's hand, so it was better to be obedient; otherwise, if his disciple wanted to sever those non-existent bonds, the one who would be unlucky would definitely be himself, this slippery snake.

"Very good... We have reached the first consensus, so it's time to calculate the second item; I went through all the trouble to come and save you, Teacher Orochimaru, you wouldn't have nothing to offer me, would you?"

"Whatever you want, just take it! The Sound Ninja Village I founded, or those ninjutsu I developed, all can be given to you directly!"

Orochimaru waved his hand, indicating these were all worldly possessions; anyway, he didn't have a son, so in the end, wouldn't he just have to pass them on to this cheap disciple?

"Teacher is generous!"

Uchiha Feiyu gave a thumbs up with a grin; Orochimaru's research was, to Uchiha Feiyu, somewhat supplementary, whether it was the Cursed Seal, the Living Corpse Reincarnation, or the Eight Branches Technique for soul modification, all had already entered very deep forbidden realms.

"Then there is one last point... Teacher, your current situation seems to be looking very dire! Do you need me, your student, to provide you with some small help?"

While speaking, Uchiha Feiyu took out a few Soul Pills and waved them slightly in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru gave a bitter smile and sighed:

"Speak, what else do you want to do?"

"Of course, I hope Teacher Orochimaru can help me out; after all, who doesn't know that you are the most excellent researcher in the entire Ninja World."
