End of Chapter 20

“Orochimaru, your ambition ends here.”

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was speaking, the Shinigami behind him moved, and with his other arm he pulled out the ninja sword in his mouth.

As if he sensed that something was wrong, Orochimaru retorted with a tight expression:

“No! My ambition will never stop!”

As he spoke, he pulled his soul back even more forcefully.

It's just that it's too late.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked calm. As he waved the ninja sword in the hand of the **** of death, he loudly announced his verdict:

"Orochimaru, you are addicted to ninjutsu and wasting ninjutsu. The most suitable punishment I can think of for you is for me to take away all the ninjutsu you have mastered."

"Could it be." Orochimaru's face suddenly changed, and his voice was extremely sharp, "Stop!"

“Seal!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order.

The ninja sword in the hand of the Shinigami behind him was swung down suddenly without any hindrance. The sword cut off the part of Orochimaru's soul that belonged to his hands, and sealed it into Sarutobi Hiruzen's body in one fell swoop.

"No!"

Orochimaru could only watch as his hands turned black and purple, and finally collapsed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had only one breath left, looked at all this and said calmly: "You can't use your hands now. Since you can't use your hands, you can't form seals. Orochimaru, you can no longer use ninjutsu." . The plan to destroy Konoha failed."

"You old immortal! Give me your hands back!" Orochimaru, whose hands were sealed and could no longer cast ninjutsu, yelled in a panic.

"You have become stupid, Orochimaru." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, "Although I regret that I can't take you with me, my disciple, we will meet in that world sooner or later."

“There’s also Hagoromo-senpai.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen reluctantly turned around and looked at Hagoromo Genzuki, his eyes full of memories and he said,

“Growing up, our elders have used you, Hagoromo-senpai, to inspire us. As a man who is on par with the gods, I don’t know what your purpose is. But!!!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes showed an unprecedented brilliance.

He looked straight at Haoyi Xuanyue and finally said:

“Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless!”

"When our unbearable elders die, there will always be a new generation to take over our tasks. No matter what your purpose is, senior, I believe that the younger generations of Konoha will face the difficulties without fear. superior!"

“Hagoromo-senpai, I’m waiting for you in the world that belongs to us!”

After the words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally closed his eyes.

So far.

In the 60th year of Konoha, the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, died at the age of 69.

Ignoring Orochimaru's hatred and reluctance, and even being slightly confused without even knowing it, Hagoromo Genzuki looked at the figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly falling to the ground and fell silent for a while.

A person who carried the memories of his youth in his previous life has truly left.

To his surprise, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually said the words of the Will of Fire to himself before he died.

Are you trying to stop yourself from looking down on today's Konoha ninjas?

Even without the Hokage, there will be more outstanding people in Konoha who will stand up and complete their due mission.

What a rare pride.

I have to say that there may have been problems of one kind or another during the decades that Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power.

But at this moment, he truly fulfilled his responsibility as Hokage.

Just.

Why do both of them regard themselves as the world-destroying devil?

Is it wrong to seize any opportunity to survive?

And the most important thing, why do you always call yourself senior?

I never get old.

Seriously speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi has eaten more salt than he has walked.

Hagoromo Xuanyue sighed and could only lament that life is not easy. His eyes swept over the body of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Hagoromo Genzuki looked at Orochimaru, who had quickly calmed down.

The opponent who cannot form a seal with both hands is no longer a threat to him.

This is also the reason why he quietly waited for Hiruzen Sarutobi to use Ghoul Seal.

"What? Why don't you vent your anger on the corpse of your teacher?" Hagoromo Genzuki said with a smile on his face after noticing that Orochimaru had been staring at the corpse of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“There is no need to waste time for those who are dead.” The hoarse voice replied.

Orochimaru is a smart man.

Knowing his current state, although he was wary of Hagoromo Xuanyue, he knew better that after the reincarnation of the dirty land was no longer bound, he and Hagoromo Xuanyue no longer had conflicts.

The other party is deliberately controlling himself, and obviously does not intend to return to the underworld after just a few glances at the present world.

Orochimaru didn't mind another big stone being thrown into the calm Ninja Lake.

On the contrary, the greater the turmoil in the ninja world, the happier he is.

“Hagoromo-senpai, welcome back to the present world. Are you interested in coming to my place to sit?”

Orochimaru, whose mentality changed rapidly, extended an invitation to Hagoromo Genzuki for cooperation.

Hagoromo Xuanyue looked around: "You'd better think about how to leave first."

Hagororomo Xuanyue's primary purpose of returning to the world is to find his own body, which is a necessary condition for his own resurrection.

As for everything else, it is secondary.

After experiencing Konoha's destruction plan, Orochimaru has become a thorn in Konoha's side.

Hagoromo Genzuki, who was originally prepared to let Orochimaru attract more firepower so that he could act more conveniently, was of course not interested in getting together with him now.

Orochimaru, who heard Hagoromo Genzuki's rejection, didn't care.

Even though he was in perfect condition, he didn't dare to be careless about the old guy in front of him who had left a profound mark in history.

What’s more, now that I have lost my hands.

“Then I look forward to seeing you next time.”

After saying this, Orochimaru, with his hands hanging down, ordered the four sound ninjas: "The battle ends here. There is no need for a barrier, let's go back."

"yes!"

The four sound ninjas clapped their hands together, and the four purple flame formations immediately dispersed.

After completing all this, the two Sound Ninja held Orochimaru on the left and the right, joined the remaining two, and quickly walked out of Konoha Village in a flash.

“Don’t even think about escaping!”

The ANBU ninja outside the barrier had no time to think about it and blocked it immediately.

Rather than watching how Orochimaru escaped from Konoha, Hagoromo Genzuki looked around, randomly found a direction with few people, and set off to leave Konoha.

However, just as he jumped up in one fell swoop, he had just jumped to the roof of another house.

A dazzling light flashed from mid-air.

Accompanied by the familiar sound of a thousand birds chirping, a figure came at high speed, raised his right hand, and violent lightning pointed directly at Hagoromo Xuanyue's heart.

In an instant, Haoyi Xuanyue, whose face was turned white by the lightning, raised his eyebrows, smiled unexpectedly and said:

“Didn’t anyone tell you the truth behind trying to do whatever you want to do?”

The voice fell.

Snapped!

Hagoromo Xuanyue stretched out her palm and clasped the wrist carrying the Chidori attack with incomparable precision.

The visitor had to stop and raised his head in shock, revealing a face with a black mask and an ominous blood-colored left eye.
