Catch Them All in One Sweep

With a thunderous boom, Yota threw a punch, creating a terrifying sonic blast in the air, like an exploding bomb.

Manda let out a pained hiss as blood sprayed into the sky and rained down in droplets. A massive crater had been smashed into its tail, nearly splitting it in two.

"Looks like I used a little too much force." Yota felt somewhat embarrassed. In his excitement just now, he had hit too hard.

"And this guy’s physical condition seems a little weak too! Without Chakra reinforcing its body, its physical strength probably wouldn’t even compare to the monsters in the One Piece World!"

While Yota was still muttering to himself, the agonized Manda’s eyes had already turned red. It opened its jaws and bit at Yota.

"Are you looking to die?" Yota snorted coldly. Snakes only had a few fangs and no teeth for chewing, so they rarely swallowed living creatures whole. They always killed their prey before eating, fearing that the animal would wreak havoc inside their bodies.

Now that Manda was delirious with pain and lunging at him, Yota did not mind teaching it a lesson. He certainly did not want to get covered in Manda’s saliva.

Before Manda could bite him, a vast amount of black mist surged from Yota’s hands and flooded into Manda’s mouth. Manda immediately let out an earth-shaking shriek.

The strange gravitational force of the Dark-Dark Fruit absorbed all of Manda’s internal organs, Chakra, and life force. Before long, Manda began to wither and shrink. Finally, with a bang, it turned into a puff of white smoke and vanished.

The moment Manda and Yota had begun fighting, Orochimaru had very shrewdly leaped down from its head. Seeing Manda get completely dealt with in less than two exchanges, he felt fortunate that it had Reverse Summoning Technique to save its life. At the same time, Orochimaru was troubled.

Who knew what madness had possessed this guy? Tsunade and Jiraiya had clearly attacked him first, yet all his attention was fixed on Orochimaru. Now, even escaping was difficult for Orochimaru.

Fortunately, Orochimaru had prepared for this before coming here.

"Though it hasn’t been perfected yet… I can only use it for now!"

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

Two coffins instantly rose from the ground. Yota narrowed his eyes slightly. "Impure World Reincarnation? It has already been developed?"

Soon, the coffin lids opened, and Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju stepped out.

"Orochimaru, you bastard!" Tsunade, who had just healed her injuries and recovered from her hemophobia, immediately began cursing at the sight before her. "You actually used even this forbidden technique!"

Jiraiya did not react much. He had long since received this information from Yota. This merely confirmed it once again.

Orochimaru’s face twitched as he spoke gloomily. "This forbidden technique was developed by the Second Hokage…"

"I believe that when the Second Hokage developed it, the number of people who died was definitely no fewer than those who died in my experiments…"

That was the truth. Tobirama Senju had certainly not killed fewer people than Orochimaru, and his personality was not necessarily much better either. Other than not being obsessed with immortality, the two actually had many similarities.

If Orochimaru had been from the same generation as the Third Hokage, he would absolutely have been Tobirama Senju’s finest disciple. In that case, no one else would have had a chance at the position of Hokage.

Yota carefully examined the two Hokage summoned through Impure World Reincarnation and frowned slightly. Their eyes were vacant, and they seemed to possess little consciousness.

"Orochimaru’s Impure World Reincarnation must not be complete yet. I wonder how much power it can bring out." Yota thought to himself, only to see the First Hokage form hand seals.

"Wood Style—Tree World Descent."

Hashirama Senju’s eyes were dull as he methodically formed seals for several seconds before finally casting Tree World Descent. He looked like an idiot.

The Second Hokage was the same. After forming seals for a long while, he finally unleashed a Water Release Ninjutsu.

Yota curled his lip and brought his hands together. "Wood Style, Dark Tree World Descent!"

Countless trees shrouded in black mist instantly burst wildly from the ground. Orochimaru did not even have time to curse before the trees surrounded him.

With no other choice, Orochimaru drew the Kusanagi Blade and tried to carve a path out, only to discover that every tree emitted a strange pulling force. The Chakra in his body was almost instantly drained completely dry.

Wood Style itself had the power to absorb Chakra. Combined with the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, even though Orochimaru’s Chakra was far from weak, it was drained away in a short time.

As for the First Hokage and Second Hokage whom he had summoned with Impure World Reincarnation, their sluggish reactions and lack of intelligence caused them to be instantly bound by the trees. They might have possessed infinite Chakra, but if their recovery rate was slower than the absorption rate, they still had no power to resist.

It was not just Orochimaru. Everywhere the black forest spread, Tsunade, Jiraiya, the other Konoha ninja, Kato Shizune, and even that little pet pig were all captured in one sweep.

"Th-this… what is this thing? Is this really Wood Style?"

Tsunade asked weakly. The Chakra in her body had been completely drained, leaving her unable to resist at all. She looked toward Jiraiya beside her.

Jiraiya, who had likewise lost all ability to resist, shook his head. "Normal Wood Style may be powerful, but it absolutely could not drain all our Chakra this easily… This should be a Ninjutsu created by combining Wood Style and Dark Release."

"Still, aren’t there way too many people who can use Wood Style now? It feels like it’s everywhere." Jiraiya could not help complaining in the end.

Tsunade rolled her eyes. "Isn’t it all because of those people in Konoha? This is what came of researching my grandfather’s cells!"

"In the end, those idiots did nothing but get a lot of people killed. They failed to produce anything, got robbed instead, and all the results ended up in someone else’s hands."

As Tsunade cursed furiously, Jiraiya could only smile bitterly. Though none of this had anything to do with him, he was the one among the Three Ninja most closely connected to Konoha. Since Tsunade had no one else to vent at, she could only curse him.

Meanwhile, Sara stared at Yota’s Tree World Descent with her mouth hanging open in an O. It was precisely because she could also use Wood Style that she understood just how outrageous Yota’s technique was.

"How did you use that move? Can you teach me?" Sara asked Yota, her eyes shining brightly.

"Sorry, my unique Bloodline Limit is not to be passed on." Yota refused outright. The key was that even if he wanted to pass it on, he could not. This was a Devil Fruit; it had absolutely nothing to do with a Bloodline Limit.
