Chapter 72

Strange Hashirama, astonished Orochimaru!

*One Piece* world, Sky Island temple.

Senju Hashirama was originally guiding Conis in cultivation and accidentally discovered that Conis’s talent was quite good; she had actually refined chakra in just one day.

As a result, just then, he suddenly felt something, and his eyes lit up.

At the same time, Lin Xuan also received a system prompt:

"Ding! Detected that the soul of the Reanimated Senju Hashirama is being summoned by the power of the original world. Do you want to stop it?"

Lin Xuan stopped his cultivation, a smile appearing on his face: "It seems Madara’s progress over there is not bad!"

He looked at Senju Hashirama and happened to see Senju Hashirama looking at him.

Lin Xuan asked: "Are you ready?"

"Yeah!"

Senju Hashirama nodded solemnly, then waved to Master Roshi and Conis: "You two, I'll go back first, see you later!"

After saying that, he walked out of the temple directly.

After all, there was still a girl, Conis, on the scene. The scene when the Reanimation was lifted wasn't very harmonious, so it would be bad if she were scared.

A moment later, a white light shot into the sky in the temple and then disappeared.

At the same time, in the Naruto world.

Orochimaru had just released the souls from the Reaper’s stomach, but he was stunned when he saw them.

"One, two, three? Why is one missing?"

As far as he knew, besides his own sealed hands, there should be the souls of the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Hokage in the Reaper’s stomach, a total of four people!

However, now that he had cut open the Reaper’s abdomen and retrieved his hands, he found that there were only three souls in front of him.

"What is going on?" Uchiha Sasuke asked in confusion.

"I don't know."

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Could it be that someone got there first and took the soul of a certain Hokage out of the Reaper’s stomach before us?"

He felt that this guess was not quite right. Logically, since someone released the souls in the Reaper’s stomach, how could they only release one? Could it be that the other party specifically sent the others back?

Moreover, they had no way of determining which Hokage’s soul was missing.

In the end, he could only continue with the Reanimation, preparing to see which one was missing!

As a result, the moment he performed the Reanimation, a strange thing happened again.

On the prepared ritual on the ground, only three originally showed light and started the Reanimation, but the moment the Reanimation started, another soul suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed in the fourth ritual.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Orochimaru, Uchiha Sasuke, Suigetsu, or Jugo, everyone was stunned.

The next moment, the four successive Hokage were reanimated almost at the same time.

However, the eyes of Orochimaru, Uchiha Sasuke, and the others were all focused on the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Because the soul that had disappeared just now and then suddenly popped out was Senju Hashirama.

Moreover, compared to the Second Hokage, Third Hokage, and Fourth Hokage, who were still confused after being reanimated, Senju Hashirama’s eyes were bright, and he was scanning his surroundings.

Even Senju Hashirama expressed his appreciation to Orochimaru: "Well done, junior named Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru looked stunned and asked: "Lord First, it seems you are not surprised at all that I reanimated you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Senju Tobirama, who originally wanted to question what Orochimaru wanted to do again, and Minato Namikaze, who was surprised that the Reaper Death Seal could be lifted, all looked at Senju Hashirama in surprise.

Senju Hashirama just grinned and said: "I'll explain to you later. Let me contact Madara first!"

"Madara?!"

Senju Tobirama couldn't help but exclaim: "Uchiha Madara? Hmm? That's right, the feeling of this chakra is indeed him! How was even he reanimated?"

Uchiha Madara replied quickly, saying: "The Ten-Tails is about to be resurrected, come over here quickly!"

"Alright!" Senju Hashirama responded, preparing to head toward Uchiha Madara's location.

Furthermore, he had already fully thought out a way to get there. He spoke directly to Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato: "Tobirama, Fourth Hokage, use the Flying Thunder God Technique to send us to the battlefield in the shortest time possible, hurry!"

Seeing his previous actions and this sudden command, the others were all somewhat bewildered.

Namikaze Minato said in surprise: "How does the First Hokage know me? And how does he know I can use the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Senju Tobirama asked in confusion: "Big brother, what exactly are you doing? What battlefield?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked blankly: "Lord First, what is the situation right now?"

Senju Hashirama replied with a stern face: "There's no time to explain slowly to you all now, let's just get to the battlefield first!"

Senju Tobirama and the other two exchanged glances, and in the end, they all nodded, deciding to follow Senju Hashirama's arrangements.

However, just as they were about to leave, one person was not pleased.

"Wait!"

Uchiha Sasuke shouted in a deep voice: "I had Orochimaru use the Impure World Reincarnation to bring you back, not so you could go join the battle!"

Senju Hashirama and the others paused in their tracks.

Senju Hashirama looked at Uchiha Sasuke and said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to ask, but the situation is urgent now, and I don't have time to explain so much to you. We'll talk after the war ends!"

Uchiha Sasuke insisted stubbornly: "No, I want to know right now. If you don't explain clearly, I won't let you go to the battlefield!"

Orochimaru also spoke up in a sinister tone: "Apologies, Lord First, if Sasuke doesn't want you to go to the battlefield, I can only use the Impure World Reincarnation to control you and make you stay!"

"The summoning contract of the Impure World Reincarnation?"

Senju Hashirama pondered for a moment, then suddenly performed hand seals rapidly: "Impure World Reincarnation, Release!"

"Hum!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened instantly.

Because he discovered that in an instant, he had completely lost control over Senju Hashirama!
