Chapter 145: Master Killing (Subscription Request)

The Konoha Village was very noisy tonight.

Outside the village, the ninjas of the Anbu and the Root gathered to chase the runaway Jinchūriki.

Inside the village, the area of ​​the Uchiha clan was covered with corpses outside a red barrier.

The remaining ninjas in the village who had no missions came here to support the Third Hokage.

But they were blocked outside by the Sound Ninja and the barrier, and had no way to attack the barrier.

Inside the barrier, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru, Senju Tobirama's puppets, and the three people and one beast fought in a group.

The best way to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation is, of course, to eliminate the caster.

So the current situation is that the demon is delaying the puppet Senju Tobirama under the order of Sarutobi Hiruzen, while Sarutobi himself is attacking Orochimaru.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand."

A stream of black and poisonous snakes emerged from all parts of Orochimaru's body, and in a blink of an eye, they covered most of the barrier, and then rolled towards Sarutobi like a huge wave.

Sarutobi Hiruzen faced the creepy scene with an unchanged expression.

He held chakra oil in his mouth, spewing out a sea of ​​​​hot fire, and also blasted towards the snake tide.

Boom--

A huge roar sounded.

The smell of meat filled the battlefield, and the poisonous snakes were directly scalded in the sea of ​​​​fire and lost their voices.

But even so, there were still poisonous snakes that continued to rush towards the sea of ​​​​fire, as if they had lost the instinct of animals to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Seeing that the situation was not good, with flames spewing from his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his hand seal style and split a shadow clone beside him.

In the blink of an eye, this shadow clone rolled up a whistling wind and drilled into the sea of ​​​​fire.

Just after the influx, the sea of ​​fire expanded again, directly engulfing the snake tide and Orochimaru at the center of the snake tide.

Most of the buildings and trees in the Uchiha clan had already been turned into ruins in the bombardment of various exquisite ninjutsu.

The remaining ones were only one or two areas with better luck and were not affected.

Among them, there was one place where Uchiha Sasuke stood.

Orochimaru hoped to use Uchiha Sasuke as the next container, so he would not hurt him.

The same was true for Sarutobi Hiruzen, so they all cleverly avoided the place where he was.

"Is this the improvement in technique after thoroughly studying the changes in chakra properties? Such a deep attainment in water escape."

"They are extremely proficient in the five elements escape techniques. The compound ninjutsu matched in pairs or threes can actually produce such complex and varied effects. It is hard to imagine how deep the knowledge reserves are to achieve this."

"Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, uses techniques that have never been recorded in the clan. Perhaps he has developed a unique combat system of his own..."

Uchiha Sasuke, who knew that he was seriously injured and could not help at all even if he was not injured, did not enter the field to make things worse from the beginning, but watched silently from the side.

He was deeply attracted by the peak combat power he had never seen before, and the black two magatama in his eyes turned like a fan.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke had forgotten the pain in his body, and these bleeding wounds seemed to no longer exist.

The visual impact and professional cognition brought to him by the ultimate feast in front of him were extremely shocking.

Such an opportunity is extremely rare for Uchiha Sasuke, who only guards the family heritage but has no one to teach him.

Try to remember as much as possible the judgment and rhythm of any one of them in this battle, but even with the Sharingan, he still can't remember everything well.

Uchiha Sasuke, who only has the two-magatama Sharingan, is not strong enough to grasp and see through such a battle. He can't even see the movements of the four people when they are intertwined.

This... is this the battlefield at the top of the ninja world?

The third generation Hokage, the second generation Hokage, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, plus the king of the Saruto clan, the three people and one beast are now the battlefield in this red barrier.

The magatama in his eyes is spinning wildly.

Uchiha Sasuke's heart is extremely urgent, and he is eager to make his Sharingan evolve again. He now needs a three-magatama Sharingan.

And his body seems to have felt his heat and excitement, and is constantly changing. The two-magatama and the illusory three-magatama in his eyes are constantly intertwined.

The vision in front of him is getting clearer and clearer, as if the next moment, he will be able to see this battle more clearly.

But unfortunately, he still lacks a little bit of excitement.

The change of mood brought by the battle was not enough to change Uchiha Sasuke's eyes again.

"Sasuke seems to be very excited about our battle."

Using the extremely disgusting snake-style substitution technique, Orochimaru escaped from the sea of ​​fire.

Then, he extended his snake-like tongue with interest and licked his lips, and the action seemed very calm and relaxed, "I really look forward to him giving me a surprise after this battle."

He didn't care at all about the failed ninjutsu duel just now.

This calmness is because the young body brought to him by the Reincarnation of the Corpseless Corpse allows him to perfectly display his strength in his prime.

In contrast, his teacher has grown old and has become corrupt.

Compared with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru's fighting style is obviously more stable. He knows very well that his teacher is old, and as long as he delays, he will naturally win the battle, so he is not in a hurry at all.

In contrast, Sarutobi Hiruzen is different.

"I won't let you take any child away from Konoha."

While dodging a water-style thrust from Senju Tobirama with difficulty, Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly, "Orochimaru, I let you go because I was soft-hearted, but I won't show mercy this time."

"Show mercy?"

Orochimaru sneered, "Teacher, you don't think you can still keep me in your hands now, right? You always think you can control the situation."

"Unfortunately, the final result every time is that you abandon the people who have always believed in you."

The conversation suddenly stopped, and there was only the ding-ding sound of the ninja tools colliding.

Orochimaru's words deeply hurt Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

He was not unwilling to accept his old age, but this once most beloved disciple made him too sad.

"The decisions I made in my life were both right and wrong."

The calm voice sounded.

Facing Orochimaru who brought up the old things again, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer hesitated as he did at the beginning. Over the years, he has thought through many things, "But I don't feel guilty about driving you out of the village. You did the wrong thing."

"But you agreed to the experiment at the beginning!"

Orochimaru's face, which had always been calm, changed slightly, "You agreed to my experiment, agreed to my research on various techniques, and agreed to my exploration of life!"

Using the Shadow Clone Technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen temporarily broke away from the entanglement of Senju Tobirama and had a break.

While panting, he said resolutely, "Agree? I never said you can use people in the village to do experiments!"

"Is there a difference between people in the village and people outside the village?"

Orochimaru asked back, "Life is the same."

He didn't think he was wrong. At that time, he was just performing his duties, and now, he is unswervingly walking on the path he has chosen.

He will not have any hesitation or regret about what he has done.

"Enough, it's meaningless to say this now."

After taking a breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he couldn't continue like this.

Because of the decline in physical function caused by age, his physical strength has been greatly reduced. If he continues like this, he will die here sooner or later, let alone save Naruto.

In any case, he must end this battle as soon as possible and must change the current situation.

With his old brain turning quickly, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried his best to think of his own way.

In the distance, Ryosuke was controlling Naruto's body to approach this side.

And his real body had already arrived and had some understanding of this battlefield.

Different from Ryosuke's own silent fighting style, the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru is not just a simple life-and-death process, but also a struggle of thoughts.

They all have their own ideas and want to make each other accept their arguments.

But it seems that neither of them can let the other party give up the idea of ​​fighting with just words.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength is declining too fast. Although we don't know how long the battle lasted, his physical strength and chakra have been consumed too much."

"If he wants to end this battle quickly, he now has only the method of Shiki Jinsei, because only this method can quickly seal Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru at the same time."

"The price of using this forbidden technique is his own life. In this way, he has no way to rush to rescue Naruto. After all, he should not know Naruto's situation now..."

Observing this scene calmly, Ryosuke made a judgment on his current situation.

So... how should you face such a situation? The Third Hokage.

With this question, he continued to watch.

The battle seemed to have entered the middle and late stages. Compared with the fierce battles at the beginning and the middle stage, the rhythm began to slow down.

Whether it was Orochimaru or Sarutobi Hiruzen, they began to reduce the number of times they used ninjutsu to preserve their physical strength and chakra.

The basis of Impure World Reincarnation is the summoning technique...

As a ninjutsu doctor in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain stores a lot of ninjutsu knowledge, and he has already mastered the secrets of the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation.

With extreme thinking, he quickly thought of a way to deal with this technique.

"Saruma!"

He shouted loudly to his summoning beast, and the man and the beast exchanged glances. They didn't need to elaborate on the detailed tactics, and they already understood each other's ideas.

Like a sturdy and majestic hill, under the white hair, the demon shook its huge body and rushed towards Orochimaru, instead of delaying Senju Tobirama like before.

The opponents changed.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped that he would deal with Senju Tobirama.

He needed to get rid of this puppet as soon as possible, and then join forces with the demon to face his disciple.

As a disciple of Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very familiar with his teacher's fighting style.

Especially in this way of fighting with a body that was not under his own consciousness, but only relying on the body's instinct, it was easier for him to figure it out.

"Contract... Seal!"

Without any delay, when the opponents changed, when Sarutobi Hiruzen approached Senju Tobirama, he used the method he had imagined without hesitation.

In order to cut off the technique of Impure World Reincarnation and control over the summoned person, in addition to the forbidden technique of Shikigami Seal, which required the exchange of life, Sarutobi Hiruzen also thought of a more convenient way of sealing - that is, the contract seal.

This sealing technique was once used to cut off the connection between the caster and the summoned beast. If used properly, it might be helpful for the current situation.

Although he was not sure whether it would work, he felt that he should give it a try.

When the palm with the special mark slapped heavily on the kunai on the back of Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen could clearly feel that his teacher's body seemed to react.

But the next moment, before he could calm down, a sharp sword had pierced through his body.

Too focused on his own tactics, he did not notice that the demon on the side could not completely stop Orochimaru.

"Cough..."

The moment the long sword pierced, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed up a large mouthful of blood, but his palm quickly tried to hold the sword to prevent the long sword from being pulled out and causing greater injuries.

But before he could make any move, Senju Tobirama beside him had already made a move and directly cut off the hilt of this artifact that was enough to rank in the ninja world, making Orochimaru's withdrawal move in vain.

"Little monkey, I can only help you here."

Turning his head with difficulty, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Senju Tobirama's apologetic eyes.

Then, his figure turned into ashes in the breeze.

The contract seal did work, allowing Senju Tobirama to temporarily regain control of his body.

But the effect was not significant. When he wanted to use his understanding of the Impure World Reincarnation to remove the control himself, he found that the controller had actually tampered with the sacrifice, making it impossible for him to remove the control.

Helplessly, he could only remove the Impure World Reincarnation directly after cutting off the Kusanagi sword, allowing the soul to return to the underworld, so as not to cause more trouble to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Is there such a way?"

Quickly moving away from the attack range of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarumo, Orochimaru laughed strangely, "As expected of Sarutobi teacher, you can come up with such a way to suppress the seal in this situation."

There was some admiration in his tone, but also full of pity, "But now... you should not be able to continue fighting, right? And you have no ability to stop me."

Although the sword was not successfully pulled out, the sword body continued to remain in Sarutobi Hiruzen's body.

But the place where the sword pierced was an extremely important organ in the human body, and there was no medical ninja within the range of the barrier, and Orochimaru would not give him time to treat it.

That means that this battle is over, and Sarutobi Hiruzen does not have much time to live.

"Heh..."

Turning his body with difficulty, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed miserably under the worried eyes of the demon, "As long as my heart still beats and my eyes are not closed, this battle will not end."

"Orochimaru, I won't let you take this child away."

I'm sorry, Naruto, I may not be able to keep my promise and tell you the truth in person...

On the verge of death again, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the same thing as the last time in the Land of Waves, still Naruto.

The name Uzumaki Naruto left too many memories in his later years, and also brought him too many emotions, making him unable to let go all the time.

"Sasuke, help me tell Naruto, I'm sorry..."

"Also, his father is indeed the Fourth Hokage."

"I hope... I hope that if you can still see him, help me tell him that I have always regarded him as a relative. This is my last words, please be sure to bring it to..."

The gentle voice, like the warm sun, slowly passed into Uchiha Sasuke's ears, stopping his excitement that was originally immersed in the battle.

"...I understand."

He didn't know what emotion to use to face this old man who had just risked his life to save him.

All Sasuke could do was just to make this promise.

Hu——

Exhaling slowly, Sarutobi Hiruzen formed a seal with his hands. At this last moment, he still did not choose to give up, but wanted to use the last resort to protect the children in this village, even if he was an Uchiha.

But at this moment, an extremely violent chakra rushed towards this side from the sky in the distance...
