Orochimaru looked at the Three-Tails with a difficult expression and said, "The Three-Tails is Ye Yu's summoned beast. It has been for three years. Damn it, if the Three-Tails is here, it will be very difficult to kill him."

Now, the Three-Tails is already a threat to Orochimaru.

The current Three-Tails is completely different from an ordinary Tailed Beast.

And upon hearing Orochimaru's words, the Four Fire Shadows were stunned.

They could never have imagined this answer.

"The Three-Tails is Ye Yu's summoned beast? Orochimaru, do you know what you're saying?"

Even the Third Hokage questioned him.

After all, Tailed Beasts have never obediently served as human summoned beasts. Even the Nine-Tails was controlled by Uchiha Madara through his Sharingan. If it wasn't controlled, the Nine-Tails would never submit.

But Orochimaru said that the Three-Tails was Ye Yu's summoned beast, and it had been for three years.

Three years ago, wasn't Ye Yu only 12 years old?

A 12-year-old boy not only mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and Rasengan—high-level Ninjutsu—but could also kill Jonin and Kage-level expert individuals.

He even tamed a Tailed Beast to be his summoned beast.

Even Uchiha Madara couldn't do such a thing. Every time he summoned the Nine-Tails, he had to control it with his Sharingan before it would assist in battle.

It was clear that the Three-Tails showed no signs of being controlled whatsoever.

That meant it was willing to be Ye Yu's summoned beast.

This was too incredible.

Of course, the few of them didn't know that the Three-Tails was unwilling at first, but it didn't want to be sealed and was forced to submit by Ye Yu's threats.

Moreover, Ye Yu was indeed good to it and didn't often call it out to fight.

The only few times were all to assist in showing off.

The only real battle was the one with Orochimaru.

But in that battle, it only moved a hand and fired a Tailed Beast Bomb.

To call it a battle, it was more like just coming out for some exercise.

Orochimaru walked over, gazing at Ye Yu, who stood on the Three-Tails' back, with a look of obsession. "Now you know why I must obtain Ye Yu's body, right? His body is a treasure trove."

The Third Hokage angrily said, "Orochimaru, you won't succeed."

The more outstanding Ye Yu was, the less the Third Hokage wanted him to fall here.

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama also frowned. Of course, they also didn't want anything to happen to Ye Yu here.

Ye Yu was too outstanding, surpassing all the Ninja they knew.

Even Senju Hashirama suspected that Ye Yu was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

After all, Ye Yu's strength was too exaggerated. They couldn't find any suitable reason for his strength except for him being the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

Orochimaru sneered, "That's not up to you."

After speaking, he looked up at Ye Yu, who stood on the Three-Tails' back. "Ye Yu, today, this place will be your burial ground."

"Let me see who is stronger, you or the Four Fire Shadows, hahaha!"

As Orochimaru spoke, he formed hand seals.

"Release."

Instantly, the consciousness of the Four Fire Shadows was completely controlled.

They wanted to resist attacking Ye Yu.

But there was no way to refuse.

Even Senju Hashirama couldn't resist this time.

The Third Hokage could only say, "Ye Yu, be careful, we're coming."

Since Ye Yu was unwilling to leave, he also wanted to test how strong Ye Yu truly was.

He started with the Five Element Great Bullet.

Ye Yu didn't make a move. As the five types of Ninjutsu blasted towards Ye Yu, the Three-Tails' eyes narrowed slightly.

In front of it, more than a dozen blood-red mini Three-Tails, several meters in size, instantly appeared.

Five of these mini Three-Tails opened their mouths, condensing Chakra.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

The Five Element Great Bullet and the Three-Tails' five Chakra beams collided.

The Five Element Great Bullet was instantly penetrated, and the Chakra beams didn't stop, tearing the Third Hokage's body into two.

Just at the beginning, the Third Hokage was defeated. If the Third Hokage wasn't an Impure World Reincarnation body, he would have died from this blow.

Moreover, the Three-Tails' attack speed was too fast, and the Third Hokage couldn't dodge in time.

The Third Hokage's body was slowly recovering, but the speed was a bit slow.

However, the Three-Tails' strength also made the remaining Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Minato Namikaze look at it with new eyes.

Senju Hashirama analyzed, "The Three-Tails' power has greatly increased. The Ninjutsu it used just now was composed of Senjutsu Chakra. The Three-Tails can indeed use Sage Mode."

"Ye Yu has developed the Three-Tails quite well, actually increasing its strength to this extent."

Senju Hashirama had fought the Three-Tails, or rather, he had once captured the Three-Tails.

Although the Three-Tails was not weak, it was among the last few of the nine Tailed Beasts.

But now, the Three-Tails was already putting some pressure on him.

He felt that unless he used Wood Style Ninjutsu, it would be impossible to suppress the Three-Tails.

And it would have to be a super-large Wood Style Ninjutsu.

After Senju Hashirama finished speaking, he clapped his hands together.

He began to release Wood Style Ninjutsu, "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence."

The ground within several hundred meters instantly cracked, and countless giant trees grew out of the soil.

These giant trees grew very quickly, transforming the surrounding several hundred meters into a forest in the blink of an eye.

Giant trees, dozens of meters thick, tried to entangle the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails did not let Ye Yu make a move.

Instead, it continued to release Ninjutsu, "Water Style: Water Vortex Blade Jutsu."

The Three-Tails was proficient in Water Release Ninjutsu.

Countless giant trees crawled over, like ropes, trying to entangle the Three-Tails.

But a water curtain condensed around the Three-Tails.

These water curtains instantly transformed into countless water blades, cutting the approaching large trees into wood chips in the blink of an eye.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Boom!"

Wood chips flew everywhere. Dozens of approaching giant trees were cut into wood chips without any resistance.

Ye Yu stood on the Three-Tails' back without moving at all.

Watching the Three-Tails' battle with Senju Hashirama, Ye Yu smiled. "Three-Tails, you're pretty good, have you developed so many Water Release Ninjutsu?"

The Three-Tails said coldly, "You're still standing by. Who do you think I'm fighting for?"

"This guy is the First Hokage. This is just the beginning. When he uses his true methods, I won't be his opponent either."

"Do you have the confidence to defeat him? If not, I advise you to just run away."

The Three-Tails was also very worried, after all, they were facing Senju Hashirama, a legend who had suppressed an era.

Although the Three-Tails had just dealt with Senju Hashirama's Deep Forest Emergence, this was just a basic Ninjutsu of Senju Hashirama.

Having witnessed his true strength, the Three-Tails didn't think it would be an opponent to Senju Hashirama.

Ye Yu looked at Senju Hashirama, who was forming hand seals again, and smiled. "Let's see. If we really can't win, then we'll run."

Ye Yu's words left the Three-Tails speechless. "You kid, fine, I'll risk my life with you today. Anyway, even if I die, I can be revived."

"You need to think carefully. You only have one chance. If you die, you're truly dead."

"You and I are completely different."

The Three-Tails had died more than once and had experience.

But Ye Yu was human. If he died, he was truly dead.

It didn't want Ye Yu to die.

Naturally, it also didn't want Ye Yu to be too reckless and end up capsizing, which would truly mean death.
