Chapter 205: The Forbidden Jutsu
"Impressive, isn't it?" Orochimaru said with a joyful tone. "That's none other than the Three-Tails, once possessed by the Mizukage. It's been resting under this lake for years."
Naruto frowned, realizing he had let the sudden appearance of the Bijuu distract him. Orochimaru had taken advantage of the short moment, unsealing the contents of his scroll.
Now, three ominous black coffins stood before the Sannin.
Not wasting a second, Orochimaru activated the technique. "Impure World Reincarnation!"
The coffins creaked open, revealing the figures within.
"Oh… you chose those three," Naruto muttered, his expression tightening. The fight had just gotten exponentially harder.
Emerging from the coffins were none other than the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Naruto had only personally met one of them, but he knew enough about the others. Tobirama's work had particularly caught his interest, and many of his jutsus were fascinating in their complexity.
Behind him, Manda vanished in a puff of smoke, the Toad Clan having successfully dispelled the giant serpent's summon. Although, Orochimaru was no longer concerned with the snake. His previous summon had already served its purpose.
"Oh no! You have to stop him!" Fukasaku and Shima rushed to Naruto, their expressions grim as they stared at the opened coffins.
Naruto shook his head. "It's too late. He's already activated the jutsu. Look." He pointed at the coffins just as Hashirama opened his eyes.
"This is terrible!" Shima exclaimed.
Her husband Fukasaku was about to suggest escaping but noticed that Naruto did not look one bit worried instead, he was staring at the three Hokages with fervor. The elder toad concluded that this boy must had something planned already.
"Hmm… this again?" Hashirama groaned, his tone weary as he recognized the situation he found himself in.
Tobirama stirred next. "Damn it… can't our souls rest in peace for once?!"
"This is your fault, you know. That devilish jutsu of yours," Hashirama shot his brother a glare.
"What's going on? I thought I—" Sarutobi's eyes opened, his confusion giving way to realization.
"Hiruzen... you too?" Hashirama lamented that they brought his student into this.
"Kukuku. Welcome back. I have use for you once more," Orochimaru sneered as he approached the coffins. "I hope you don't mind." He added with a mocking tone, fully knowing that the summons had no choice but to obey his orders.
"Orochimaru!" Sarutobi's reaction was immediate and filled with anger. Memories of his death at his former student's hands were still fresh.
"And who is the opponent dangerous enough for you to summon three Hokages?" Tobirama asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Naruto?!" Sarutobi exclaimed, quickly recognizing the young man despite the physical changes. The old Hokage wasn't sure what to be more surprised about.
"Who?" Hashirama and Tobirama both turned to Naruto, puzzled by his identity. His lack of a Konoha uniform or forehead protector didn't help either.
Tobirama's gaze shifted to the two toads perched on Naruto's shoulders. "Are those Elders from the Toad Clan?"
"Fukasaku, Shima!" Hiruzen called out, recognizing the elders. Jiraiya had once introduced them to him.
A massive toad landed beside Naruto, its large eyes narrowing as it examined the scene. "Are those the Hokages? Don't tell me you're planning to fight them, right?" Gamabunta grumbled, not liking this situation one bit.
More toads began to appear, creating an ever-growing congregation.
"I'll fight anyone who threatens Lord Naruto," Gamadachi vowed.
"Oh, they look so cool!"
Gamabunta glanced at the small toad on his head. "Gamakichi, stay out of this one."
"But, Father—"
"Did… did you summon the entire clan?" Sarutobi asked, incredulity written across his face as he observed the growing assembly of talking toads.
"Maybe this boy isn't so bad," Tobirama said with a sly grin.
"You shouldn't be looking forward to this!" Hashirama scolded. "Being used like this is humiliating."
Sarutobi's eyes snapped back to Orochimaru. "How dare you disturb our eternal rest to harm a boy like Naruto? I didn't think you could fall any lower, but obviously, I was wrong!."
Orochimaru shrugged off the accusation. "Be as outraged as you like. As your summoner, you will follow my orders without fail."
Naruto turned to the toads. "Be ready. I need you to distract Orochimaru for at least a minute while I take care of those three."
"Wait," Shima interjected. "You're not planning to face the Hokages alone, are you? That's insanity! Let us help."
"If they were at full power, even if all of us worked together, it would not be enough…but that is not the case so we have a chance." Naruto could admit that despite his growth over the past three years, he still had a limit on what he could accomplish.
"They are not at full power? what do you mean?" Shima asked.
Gamabunta nodded, gripping his blade. "Sounds like you have a plan. Are you familiar with the technique that snake used?"
Naruto nodded.
"I see then..." Fukasaku nodded. He was sure that Naruto had been thinking about something since the Sannin brought those coffins out.
"I'll gladly give my life for Lord Naruto's cause!," Gamadachi declared. This toad had always been the most loyal one to him. Perhaps it was because Naruto had given him a few pointers in swordsmanship and even passed some of the Uzumaki sword-style forms.
"You can't die here. We're summonsed," Gamabunta reminded Gamadachi, glancing at the fading image of Mount Myoboku in the sky.
"Once the mount vanishes, we'll return home. Don't waste the chakra Naruto has given us," Shima warned.
"One minute, then," Gamahiro said, stepping forward with his twin blades.
"We can manage that much," Gamaken added, positioning his shield. "I'll take the front."
Orochimaru pointed at the three resurrected Hokages. "What are you waiting for? Kill Naruto Uzumaki!"
