If even the First Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation body were sealed by the opponent using Adamantine Sealing Chains, the situation would completely spin out of control.
Therefore, Yakushi Kabuto's heart stiffened, and he made a decisive move, taking advantage of the relatively dark and enclosed environment of the underground laboratory to activate Sage Art.
"Sage Art: White Rage Technique!"
As the Sage Art was activated, a red dragon phantom grasping a black orb swiftly flew toward Karin.
In the chaotic environment filled with continuous roars, churning smoke, and flying wood chips, Karin only glanced up and immediately noticed the attacking red dragon phantom.
She then instantly recognized that this jutsu was the same one Yakushi Kabuto had used to instantly knock down Sasuke before!
The power of this move by Yakushi Kabuto was considerable, as it was able to leave a full-fledged Mangekyo Uchiha with no power to fight back.
So, even Karin did not dare to be careless when facing this move. Subconsciously, she raised her hand toward the red dragon phantom, ready to use Almighty Push, to repel the attacking red dragon phantom regardless of the consequences.
However, due to the previous clash, the underground laboratory was extremely chaotic. Karin being able to notice the attacking red dragon phantom was already a testament to the super insight of her Rinnegan. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even be able to detect the attacking red dragon phantom.
Therefore, by the time she was ready to activate her dojutsu, she was half a beat too slow.
Whoosh...
Instantly, an extremely dazzling bright light instantly filled the entire underground laboratory, blinding everyone present.
Immediately following was a burst of high-frequency, piercing sound!
Although mentally prepared, Karin was still caught off guard by the high-frequency sound of the White Rage Technique.
"So this is the intense light and piercing sound that Sasuke encountered before!"
For a moment, she felt as if her body was about to be shaken apart. She also understood why Sasuke couldn't even withstand a flash of light and was instantly knocked down by Yakushi Kabuto.
Due to the immense stimulation to her sight and hearing, which caused her five senses to become disordered, Karin was not only unable to activate her dojutsu, but even the Adamantine Sealing Chains she had already activated crumbled directly due to the massive interference from the White Rage Technique.
"Opportunity!"
Yakushi Kabuto's eyes lit up.
Unlike others, Yakushi Kabuto in Sage Mode had an extra layer of membrane over his eyes, which not only immunized him against dojutsu and genjutsu but also helped him block the bright light. And the resilience of his Sage body could greatly alleviate the impact of the high-frequency, piercing sound on his body.
So, realizing that 'B' had completely lost the ability to resist due to the interference of his Sage Art, he wanted to replicate the scene where he defeated Sasuke and defeat 'B'!
Swish...
In just an instant, Yakushi Kabuto pounced in front of 'B' and threw a full-power punch.
Thud!
The moment Yakushi Kabuto thought he had succeeded, the smile on his face instantly froze.
Because amidst a muffled thud, his outstretched punch was caught by 'B' raising her hand!
"How is that possible!?"
Yakushi Kabuto was aghast.
This was not only because the opponent managed to escape the interference of the White Rage Technique so quickly, which greatly exceeded his expectations, but also because the opponent was able to catch his full-force punch with just a raised hand.
One must know that he had already entered Sage Mode at this moment; he was a genuine Sage who surpassed Jiraiya!
Whether it was strength, speed, or perception, he had received unimaginable enhancements.
Therefore, in his understanding, with a punch from him, no one should be able to catch it with just physical strength, not even Jugo, who could also absorb Natural Energy to enter Sage Mode.
Karin slowly raised her head at this moment: "I am not Sasuke!"
Yakushi Kabuto's heart tightened. He ignored everything else, quickly broke free from Karin's grip, and retreated hastily to a far distance.
Karin did not pursue, but instead caught her breath a few times.
Her combination of the Uzumaki Clan's Sage Body and the Senju Clan's Sage Body was an abnormal physique that Sasuke could not compare to.
So, despite the difference in environment causing her to be affected by the White Rage Technique more significantly than Sasuke, who suffered it in an open area, she still recovered faster than Sasuke and narrowly blocked Yakushi Kabuto's sneak attack.
Of course, she had not fully recovered at this point, and her body was still somewhat sluggish.
Fortunately, Yakushi Kabuto, in his shock, retreated hastily. While the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage were Impure World Reincarnation bodies, they also couldn't escape the effects of the White Rage Technique and were all stumbling. Even Orochimaru, just like Karin, had barely managed to break free from the effects of the White Rage Technique and was gasping for air!
"This fellow!"
Staring at 'B', Orochimaru was somewhat annoyed.
He never expected a situation that should have been a sure victory to suddenly become so perilous, almost resulting in a complete failure.
However, now the First Hokage escaped the opponent's Adamantine Sealing Chains sealing, and the Second and Fourth Hokage were also freed from the Adamantine Sealing Chains' binding, so the situation was once again tilting in his favor.
"Kill her!"
Having recovered his breath, Orochimaru dared not hesitate. He immediately activated his jutsu, spurring the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage to attack 'B' again.
This time, the Second and Fourth Hokage did not rush recklessly toward 'B'.
The Fourth Hokage activated Summoning Jutsu, summoning his ninja tool scroll, and took out specialized kunai inscribed with the 'Blade of the Loving Heart' from it.
The Second Hokage formed hand seals where he stood and shouted: "Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"
The already dim underground laboratory seemed to be covered by an opaque black cloth, instantly becoming pitch black.
And as darkness descended, the First Hokage activated Wood Release again.
Although the intelligence of the three Kage was suppressed to the extreme by Orochimaru, their battle instinct still led them to choose a better strategy.
Immersed in the impenetrable darkness, hearing the whistling sound of the specialized kunai, and feeling the ground shake from the surging sea of trees, Karin was ironically less flustered than before.
The dire predicament seemed to stimulate her fighting will, making her forget everything else and immerse herself in this great battle.
Clap...
Karin clapped her hands together, also activating Wood Release.
Rumble...
Under the infusion of her powerful chakra, the floor beneath her feet cracked. Thick branches extended out, some shielding her surroundings and piercing upward through the ceiling, creating a skylight for Orochimaru's laboratory, while others supported her, lifting her to the more open ground above.
The two seas of trees furiously intermingled and strangled each other, filling the entire underground laboratory with branches. In just a few breaths, not only was the ceiling ripped open by Karin's sea of trees, but the bottom of the laboratory was also crushed by the continuously expanding sea of trees, turning completely into ruins.
Amidst the swirling smoke and dust, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto scrambled out of the laboratory ruins and landed on the ground.
Due to the Wood Release, the Second Hokage, who was wrapped in branches, lost the ability to maintain the jutsu, so his Bringer-of-Darkness Technique became ineffective.
And as the Second Hokage's Bringer-of-Darkness Technique failed, 'B', standing on a platform woven from branches, looking like a deity, came into the sight of both Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto.
"Wood... Wood Release!?"
The two were directly stunned in place.
