Chapter 345: Tobirama vs Hashirama 01
The atmosphere between the four powerful ninjas were filled with deadly intent and the suppressed yet strong energy. The two Hokage brothers stood facing each other ready to battle and nearby, Jiraiya also shifted into a fighting stance.
The faint rustling of leaves seemed to fall silent as the combatants prepared for the inevitable clash. All the creatures in the forest sensed a coming disaster and were quickly moving away from that area.
The Sannin was already in Sage mode with Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima perched on his shoulders. Standing opposite was Fukai, famously known as Blue B.
Anbu commander Ox was analyzing the situation and he was ready to make his move.
Far away in Orochimaru's secret lab, the snake Sannin had a small frown on his face. 'The fact that they're there and Guren's failure in contacting me... It seems she failed in her mission and fell into the hands of the Leaf. Still, to get the location of that base… It seems that Ko Yamanaka was more careful than I thought. He must have sent some information before I killed him.'
Orochimaru had his eyes closed as he looked at the battlefield through the eyes of the reanimation. 'I never thought Sarutobi sensei would resort to using this forbidden jutsu. Or perhaps he was desperate and made Danzo do it. Hmm… That is the more likely possibility given his soft personality. Still, since they've sent the second Hokage and Jiraiya to that location it means they're hoping Tsuande is there. So they most probably don't know about this base. I suppose I should count that as my victory. I can't always have everything go my way.'
The Snake Sannin opened his eyes and a small sinister smile grew on his face. 'I should keep them busy for as long as I can.'
Suddenly he made a Ram seal with his right hand.
On the battlefield in the Land of Fire, a change suddenly took place in The First Hokage and The Eight tailed Jinchuriki. Their bodies stilled and the spark of life vanished from their eyes. The two reanimations suddenly seemed no different than walking emotionless puppets.
