@sarcasm-nidaime / cont. The easy way? Now, the viper didn’t appreciate being called ‘little Sannin’ any more than he did being ordered to cooperate. But edo tensei was not working quite as it should. The serpent tried giving the man an order, tried to take away his free will- but it wasn’t obeying his command. And now, it was the Second Hokage giving the orders. The viper would be wise to listen... but he has never been a good follower. Amber eyes narrow when the glass shatters. The vial had contained cells from the Senju. Something Orochimaru needed to mimic in order to obtain better cell regeneration. And now, all that research, all that composition... it lay in a mess on the floor. Tobirama with a sick yet clever smile upon his lips. Something dark overcame those red eyes... it had the serpent on edge, and he takes a step back to better assess matters. The Hokages shadow drapes eerily over the floor, candles lighting the room dimly to create that much more foreboding energy around the living corpse. A soft hiss of frustration falls from the Sannin, annoyance and apprehension wrapped in to one expression. He didn’t know what this man wanted, but he’d be damned if he was threatened in to anything. He won’t let Tobirama know, but he has tried to unsummon him... that hasn’t worked either. The man is free.
“Stay where you are dear, I gave you no permission to come closer,” Orochimaru states, hoping that the taller shinobi will listen to words alone. After all, the viper has no true say anymore. And although he is one of the most powerful shinobi in the land... Tobirama may be one of the few who could actually best him. “We’re not doing this your way. So I suggest you drop the high and mighty act.”
