Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-477-30041322

Following Kurenai’s nod, Fujin stood up and pulled Kurenai behind him.

Even though his current state looked a bit miserable because of all the blood, he wasn’t really all that injured.

The ‘Water Severing Wave’ didn’t cut deep enough to reach Viscera and the jet of high-pressured water was completely blocked by a periosteum made of incredibly hard and dense bones.

So, although there is a lot of blood because of the tearing of the skin, making it seem as if he is seriously injured but it’s just skin injury and doesn’t affect his combat power in the slightest.

After pulling Kurenai behind him, Fujin looked in the direction where Orochimaru was hiding and cursed inwardly, ‘Orochimaru… don’t force me to use ‘Shikotsumyaku’, otherwise, I can’t help it, and might end up killing you!’

Shodaime Hokage Hashirama and Nidaime Hokage Tobirama are both Edo Tensei, so they are almost immortal. No matter how many times they are destroyed; they will keep on resurrecting unless their souls are pulled out of their bodies.

If he was Hyuga Kuroto/Yama, that means using his main body, then he would have been able to pull out the souls of the two Hokage, or used ‘Truth-Seeking Orbs’ to permanently destroy the two Edo Tensei or maybe used ‘Puppet-Cursing Sphere’ on the two Edo Hokage to either take control of the two Hokage from Orochimaru or used it on Orochimaru to make him print the Edo Tensei release hand signs but unfortunately, currently, he is Fujin, therefore, neither can he pull out their Souls nor can he destroy their bodies with Truth-Seeking Orbs nor can use Puppet Cursing Sphere to control either of the three.

If he was Homusubi, then he would have used either used Genjutsu on Orochimaru to control him and release him using the Edo Tensei release hand signs or simply used ‘Enton: Oshihomimi’ to continuously burn the two Edo Hokage, but unfortunately, currently, he is not Homusubi so this option doesn’t work either.

And if he was Suijin, then he would have used ‘Ice Collar of Subordination’ on either of the three to make them a puppet of his or used ‘Chakra Locking Ice Cuffs’ to completely seal their chakra, but unfortunately, he is not Suijin either, so all these methods that could have easily dealt with Edo Tensei can’t be used by Fujin.

As for other methods, there is only Fuinjutsu, and not just any Fuinjutsu would work, the only one that would work is the Shiki Fujin/Reaper Death Seal that can seal the souls of the two Hokage inside the belly of the Shinigami. Sandaime Hokage also used Shiki Fujin/Reaper Death Seal when he faced the same situation.

Just how experienced Sandaime Hokage is already well known. Despite having mastered almost all the Jutsu in Konoha–except for the Kekkei Genkai and Hidden Jutsu–Sandaime Hokage had to resort to Shiki Fujin/Reaper Death Seal in order to deal with the two Edo Tensei Hokage. This clearly implies that only Shiki Fujin/Reaper Death Seal can permanently deal with Edo Tensei.

Unfortunately, the current Fujin doesn’t know how to use this Shiki Fujin/Reaper Death Seal as it’s highly secret, and no matter how much he searched Fujin didn’t find information about this seal. If Fujin were to look in the Scroll of Seals, then obviously he can find information about this Fuinjutsu, but can he get his hands on the Scroll of Seals? Obviously No!

Moreover, even if he knew how to use this Fuinjutsu, Fujin wouldn’t dare to use it, after all, he is not so eager to meet Yondaime Hokage and Yin Kyuubi, right?

Most of the other high-end Fuinjutsu wouldn’t be able to remove the souls from Orochimaru’s binding, and general sealing methods wouldn’t work either and it would be the same as before, Orochimaru would be able to remove those seals thus managing to free the two Hokage. Moreover, there is no telling if Orochimaru has other Edo Tensei in his hands…

Just as Fujin was pondering over how to deal with the two Hokage, the surrounding dimmed and moonlight completely disappeared, and all they could see was pure black and nothing else.

Kurenai exclaimed, “What happened…? A Genjutsu?”

Fujin nodded lightly, “Yes, it’s just a Genjutsu, used by your Shodaime Hokage… It only affects your vision, other senses should still work, although, given your current condition your senses seem to be dull.”

“……” Kurenai was silent… she doesn’t know how to respond to him.

Fujin sighed and said, “Anyhow, stay close…”

“All right.” Kurenai nodded.

Fujin obviously knows this Genjutsu as he has also learned it. ‘Infinite Darkness Jutsu’, places hallucinatory darkness on the target’s eyesight, causing them to see nothing but black. Although the target can not see, they can still sense Chakra and rely on their other senses.

Besides, this Genjutsu is completely useless to Fujin as he has Byakugan and can directly see Chakra.

Whiish Whiish

As soon as Fujin finished speaking, the surrounding trees again rushed at him in the cover of darkness.

Seeing the endless stream of trees about to swallow Kurenai completely, Fujin had no choice but to get serious now.

Immediately, he slammed his hands together and controlled the Iron Sand.

Clap…

As soon as Fujin clapped his hands together, the Magnet Chakra in his body surged and under his control, all the Iron Sand that he could quickly use combined and formed a thick spherical metallic around Kurenai protecting her from the trees.

Although the Spherical Shell protected her, it also isolated her in complete darkness. And feeling no presence around her, Kurenai tried to move around to find Fujin but couldn’t, and shouted nervously, “Hey… wh… where did you go…?!”

But there was no response from Fujin, only the sound of trees constantly colliding with the outer Iron Surface rang in her ears which made Kurenai more nervous.

After using all the Iron Sand to protect Kurenai, Fujin looked at the endless trees constantly wrapping around him and sighed.

He wasn’t really worried, the trees do absorb Chakra but it’s not that big of a problem for him, what’s troublesome is that he will have to rely on his other Kekkei Genkai, “I have not yet mastered Scorch Release completely so I shouldn’t use it in this battle… Although I can also use Typhoon Release, it’s not that useful in this situation… It seems I have no other choice but to use Shikotsumyaku…”

…

Far away from the fight, Orochimaru, who stood on the canopy of a tall giant tree stood with his hands on his chest and looked at the battle in the distance with s solemn expression.

After he released a few restraints on the two Edo Tensei, the strength that the two Edo Hokage are able to use has increased, therefore, Orochimaru thinks that the two Hokage should be able to deal with Fujin.

After all, ‘Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees’ is not a Jutsu that can be withstood by anyone, this has been proven countless times when the village was created by Shodaime Hokage.

Therefore, Orochimaru is convinced that he must win.

But even with this confidence, Orochimaru is not sure completely. There is also a matter that Shodaime Hokage did not use it in his peak state, but even then, the background of Amatsukami makes him feel a bit restless.

At this time, the fierce fighting in the distance came to a halt and those crazily growing trees also stopped, Orochimaru can be certain that Fujin has been trapped in the sea of trees, and everything returned to silence.

Looking at the distance, Orochimaru muttered with a doubtful look, “Is it over so fast?”
