Chapter 348: Nine Tails Can Also Kill
With a resounding crash, Nagasawa's Color of Supreme King Haki rapidly caused the underground chamber to crumble. The terrifying aura left everyone astonished, and even Hashirama, who had been making a clever look on his face was now replaced by a cautious look.
While the immense pressure primarily targeted Sasuke, everyone else in the room also felt nearly as much pressure.
Even though Hiruzen knew Sasuke, he didn't stand up for him because he threatened to destroy Konoha, and the Hokage were extremely sensitive to those words.
Tobirama crossed his arms and found it amusing that an Uchiha, known for their evil deeds, had the audacity to claim he would destroy Konoha in front of the five Kage.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, raised his fingers silently, attempting to restrain the four Hokage to protect Sasuke.
As Orochimaru tried to exert his control, Tobirama's smile disappeared, replaced with a frown.
"How is this possible? The precision of this Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation is much higher than the last time. You shouldn't be able to control me, especially considering how powerful I am," Tobirama questioned, his expression becoming increasingly stern.
Orochimaru gave a faint smile but remained silent. If even the creator of Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation was surprised, he'd take it as a compliment.
However, when Orochimaru noticed that Hashirama's face didn't change, Orochimaru's smile faded. He couldn't control that man; he was too powerful. Orochimaru felt that Minato, Tobirama, and Hiruzen combined couldn't even match Hashirama's strength.
Despite this, Orochimaru did his best to restrain the other three Hokage, and addressed Nagasawa, "Let's call you 'Fourth Hokage' for now. Please, put away your killing intent. Forgive Sasuke's impertinence earlier; he merely wants to ask some questions and doesn't necessarily intend to destroy Konoha."
Orochimaru was taking a gamble. He believed that unlike the rest, the First Hokage had more compassion and wouldn't intervene. However, the pressure Nagasawa bared at them had caught him off guard. Though he used gentle words, Orochimaru had underestimated Nagasawa's strength.
