Eiji was halved by the Kusanagi Sword of Orochimaru, but he immediately began to regenerate.
Since the beginning of the battle, Eiji had been "killed" many times, but always when Orochimaru tried to use fuinjutsu on him, Hiruzen interfered.
It is safe to say, that Eiji was completely destroyed by Orochimaru.
He had only survived through his own regeneration ability.
But unlike Orochimaru, Eiji had far less chakra and when he ran out of chakra, he would not be able to regenerate again.
Orochimaru was really eyeing this weakness, focusing on Eiji, while the two Hokage were fighting against Hiruzen and Enma.
And since Eiji and Hiruzen's plan is to seal both Hokage, forcing Hiruzen to help Eiji sometimes makes it almost impossible to achieve that.
'Damn if this continues, forget about saving old man Hiruzen, I won't be able to save myself!' - Eiji tried something he had never used in a battle before.
He transformed into the shape of a giant snake and used his huge body to attack Orochimaru and the two Hokage simultaneously.
"Ha! I didn't think you'd try to use the snake technique against me! It's funny!" - Orochimaru called Rashomon to block the attack.
Eiji tried to turn it around, but there was already Orochimaru waiting for him.
Kusanagi's sword suddenly widened and with Eiji's large snake body, he could not dodge and was shot.
Eiji started to change back while regenerating: 'This won't work...'
He glanced towards Hiruzen.
Although Orochimaru focused his attention on him, Hiruzen, although still better than his original timeline where he had to fight Orochimaru as well, was unable to impose his superiority and seal both Hokage.
Winning the fight by sealing the opponent, is different from winning by killing the opponent.
'Sorry old man, but it looks like I have to do this.' - Eiji spread another shadow clone, which gathered the distant natural energy and entered Sage Mode.
"Hmph, do you think Sage Mode will change anything?" - Orochimaru stretched out his sword again, but with Sage Mode, Eiji could sense it and dodge.
"Konoha's Wind Spirit Style: The summer breeze of the wise man!"
"ANDA!" - Orochimaru saw that he was targeting the Four Voices, who were in charge of the barrier, and summoned two more Rashomon Gates.
The last Rashomon Gate reflected back the damage to Eiji, who coughed up blood as it had begun to regenerate.
"Haa, it seems like I should use my strongest moves.." - Eiji returned to the position of Iaistance.
He stood there fully concentrating to accelerate chakra through his body.
But unlike other techniques, where he only accelerated to a certain speed, he surpassed it.
It was really dangerous and if he lost control of his chakra, he would probably end up as a human bomb.
Orochimaru sensed that this attack would be extremely powerful and tried to stop it.
Unfortunately for him, Hiruzen appeared and defended him with a smile: "Are you not interested in what he will show us as well?"
'Let's add natural chakra as well.although I've never done it and it's even more dangerous, but as long as one finger remains, I can still regenerate...even with my chakra almost empty this might be the last time I can do this...'
He felt that he would lose control, so despite wanting to accelerate further, he reluctantly let go: "Konoha-Wind Spirit Style: Sage Winter Storm!"
The accelerated force went to his sword and when he finished it off, the entire force was unleashed.
It was a crude technique, one that spread power in all directions because such a force was almost impossible to control.
All the trees of Hashirama's jutsu were cut off, and the strong gales that cut with sword force raged on the battlefield, no matter if it was enemies or allies.
'Dirt! I can survive that easily, but the barrier will collapse at this moment!' - Orochimaru saw that the problem was not on his strength, but a wide area of effect.
"Yamata no Jutsu!" - Orochimaru used his strongest snake-based technique just to save the Four Sounds!
A giant snake with eight heads and a tail stood there and received all the damage from the Sound Four.
"Truly an impressive kenjutsu technique. Konoha's kenjutsu has never fully developed, but this youngster reached a truly supreme level of kenjutsu." - Tobirama.
"But this jutsu is quite problematic as it attacks not only its allies but also its users." - Hashirama looked at Eiji, who was covered in wounds and covered in blood.
But even so he smiled while regenerating for the last time: Well, that's all I can do. Now it's just you, old man ..."
