NOVEL NEXT Chapter 74: Chapter:75
"Of course, if you can manage it," Orochimaru said, licking his lips and turning his gaze toward Deidara, who stood next to Sasori. "That boy used to be in the demolition team of Hidden Rock Village, right?"
"Don't treat me like a kid," Deidara roared as he quickly formed hand seals and summoned his giant clay bird, preparing to attack.
Sasori's voice interrupted from beside him, "Watch from above. Make sure he doesn't escape."
"What? You want to take him down yourself?" Deidara asked, slightly surprised.
"You don't have any personal vendetta against him, do you?" Sasori retorted before glancing at Kirito, silently seeking his opinion.
"I don't mind. If you need help, just let me know in advance," Kirito replied with a casual shrug. With a swift motion, he retreated several dozen meters, watching Orochimaru with interest. Kirito had a hunch Orochimaru might use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Deidara jumped onto his giant clay bird and soared into the sky.
Without wasting any more time, Sasori summoned the Third Kazekage puppet. He spoke with pride, "You're already familiar with the strength of the Third Kazekage, aren't you?"
"Yes, but when I see something valuable, I tend to take it. So, I prepared a little surprise," Orochimaru said, forming a seal with his right hand. A coffin with the word "three" engraved on it emerged from the ground next to him.
The coffin opened, revealing a figure inside.
"This is…" Sasori's eyes narrowed in shock. The figure standing before him was none other than the Third Kazekage, whom he had once killed.
Deidara, high in the sky, was also taken aback. "What is that?"
"This is the Third Kazekage you killed. I brought him back using a forbidden technique. Now, let's see if my forbidden jutsu is stronger than your puppet technique," Orochimaru said with a sinister grin.
He then drew a kunai engraved with talismans from his waist and inserted it into the body of the reanimated Third Kazekage. The revived Kazekage regained clarity in his mind, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Sasori.
"Sasori? You bastard. This time, I won't fall for your tricks like before," the Third Kazekage said, forming hand seals.
Sand Iron Rain!
Countless iron sand particles turned into black raindrops, covering Sasori, Deidara, and even Kirito, who stood at a distance.
Facing the attack, Sasori immediately controlled his puppet, using its abilities to create an iron defense.
In the sky, Deidara's bird's wings were pierced, causing him to sway unsteadily.
Meanwhile, Kirito summoned his protective aura, creating a shield around himself. The relentless iron sand barrage didn't faze him at all.
Simultaneously, Sasori manipulated the Third Kazekage puppet's left arm, summoning thousands of arms that instantly smashed the reanimated Kazekage. However, in mere moments, the Impure World Reincarnation technique restored the Kazekage's body.
As the battle between Sasori and Orochimaru reached a stalemate, Deidara regained his balance in the sky. Unable to stand by any longer, he hurled dozens of clay spiders toward the reanimated Kazekage. They exploded upon impact, but to no avail. The Kazekage's body began regenerating once more.
"Brother Sasori, what is going on? Why can't we kill him?" Deidara exclaimed, flying his bird closer to Sasori's side.
"Don't waste your energy. This is the Impure World Reincarnation, a forbidden technique created by the Second Hokage. It revives the dead and allows the user to control them," kirito explained calmly.
"It can't be killed. The only way to stop it is through sealing techniques or by overpowering it."
"Or," Kirito chimed in as he appeared beside them, "you could use genjutsu to control the caster and force them to cancel the technique. Otherwise, even killing the caster won't stop it."
Deidara looked at Kirito, incredulous. "How do you know all of this?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Kirito to know so much," Orochimaru said, slightly surprised.
Kirito smiled. "Of course. After all, I spent time as an Anbu in Konoha, so I know plenty of secrets."
"But that's the usual case. From what I know, there are three—no, actually four—ways to break this jutsu."
As he spoke, Kirito extended his right palm, forming a small blue chakra ball. It quickly spun and expanded into a massive shuriken-shaped Rasengan, emitting a fierce, high-pitched sound as it spun in the air.
"Sasori, Deidara, step back. I want to try out a new jutsu, and it might be powerful. I don't want you caught in it."
"As for Orochimaru, I'll let you experience the jutsu I created after studying the Tailed Beast Ball of the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. It took me nearly a month to perfect it, and I haven't had the chance to show it off yet."
Sasori, though reluctant, realized he couldn't defeat the reanimated Kazekage in his current state. After seeing the Rasenshuriken in Kirito's hand, Deidara also became more cautious.
Feeling the immense power of the Rasenshuriken, Sasori and Deidara exchanged glances before retreating a hundred meters away.
Orochimaru, too, wore a serious expression. Though not a sensory-type ninja, his sharp eyes could recognize the threat. He had seen the power of the original Rasengan, but this shuriken-shaped version seemed even more formidable.
"Haha, this is a surprise, Kirito-kun. You've taken the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan and transformed it into something even more powerful. You truly are remarkable."
"But even so, this technique can't stop my Impure World Reincarnation," Orochimaru said, maintaining a calm exterior.
Though Orochimaru appeared composed, he was secretly preparing his escape with the Orochi Substitution Technique. He knew Kirito's teleportation skills were swift and feared being caught off guard by the Rasenshuriken.
Kirito chuckled. "Who said I was going to use this to stop the reanimation? I just wanted to test its power using you as a target."
"But first, let me show you how I'll break your Impure World Reincarnation. The first method—is my mouth."
With the Rasenshuriken complete in his hand, Kirito smirked mischievously and turned to the reanimated Third Kazekage, saying, "You're from the same generation as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Known as the strongest Kazekage in Sand Village, aren't you?"
