Chapter 120 The Fall of the Third Hokage [Second Update]
"Konoha is my home. The Hokage is meant to be the pillar of this village and protect it. He is the one entrusted with and who will inherit the will of Konoha. Don't even think about defeating him easily."
The Third Hokage looked at his disciple, who was now completely beyond saving, and said coldly.
At this moment, the second generation also activated an illusion technique, the Dark Travel Technique.
In an instant, all the light around us was stolen, and everything became invisible.
"What utter nonsense. In the history of Konoha, you were just a temporary leader. Even the stone statues that remain will soon weather and rot."
"Konoha is not an organization to me. Every year, Konoha produces many ninjas who will grow up, fight bravely, and sacrifice themselves to protect the village!" the Third Hokage said in a low but extremely firm voice.
Scenes of ninjas flashed through the video.
"Even if we're not related by blood, the people in the village are all important to me, important family!"
The Third Hokage, panting heavily, barely managed to fend off the unknown attacks from the darkness, relying on his sharp senses honed over many years.
Seeing this scene, even Uchiha Sasuke, who was originally somewhat dissatisfied with the village's higher-ups, had tears welling up in his eyes and was deeply moved.
Uchiha Itachi remained silent. This was the kind of village he wanted to protect, and the kind of village he had to protect.
Contrary to what many people believe, it was just a dark village, yet he was willing to risk his life.
"The old man still has to get sentimental at the last minute!" Jiraiya wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye, trying to calm himself down.
Although he knew that everyone would die eventually, and he had always been very open-minded, he still felt very sad when he saw the Third Hokage die before his eyes.
"Then I'll break this pillar of your family and destroy Konoha!"
Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Orochimaru seemed to become enraged.
"Even if you kill me, this pillar will not break. I am the man who inherited the will of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. I am the Third Hokage. No matter how much you covet Konoha, the new Hokage who inherits my will will become the pillar and protect Konoha, our home, right, Fourth Hokage!"
The Third Hokage remained unmoved and said, "Orochimaru, I am about to demonstrate a secret ninjutsu you have never seen before. Take this! Sealing Technique: Reaper Death Seal!"
The Grim Reaper behind the Third Generation began to move, revealing a somewhat ferocious expression, even a hint of impatience.
An even more terrifying scene unfolded: everyone saw the phantom of the Grim Reaper suddenly turn around and grab the Third Hokage from behind, pulling his soul out bit by bit.
Upon receiving such an attack, the Third Hokage coughed up a mouthful of blood.
However, without pausing, relying on his years of combat experience, he grabbed a figure in the darkness.
The figure was captured directly through the Third Hokage's body. Soon, as the person's soul was extracted, the Dark Travel Technique was broken.
The Third Hokage perfectly captured the First and Second Hokage and extracted their souls.
"The darkness has vanished? What kind of ninjutsu is that?"
Orochimaru also noticed this sudden change, but it was too late.
The Third Hokage's shadow clones had already pulled the souls of the First and Second Hokage out. After their souls were pulled out, the two were freed from Orochimaru's control and regained their senses.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"I'm sorry, First Hokage, Second Hokage," the Third Hokage said with great pain.
The battle had progressed to this point, and it could be said that they were going to perish together.
Without the support of their souls, the bodies of the First and Second Hokage turned to ashes, revealing the body of the Sound Ninja, who was considered the best among them.
"So the solution to this kind of Impure World Reincarnation is a sealing technique?"
Itachi Uchiha silently noted this down, but he didn't know many sealing techniques.
In fact, the Uzumaki clan was the only one in the entire ninja world skilled in sealing techniques. After the Uzumaki clan was destroyed, most of their legacy fell into the hands of Konoha.
Konoha still has a complete sealing team.
The Uchiha clan, on the other hand, had virtually no experience in this area.
"Sealing techniques, huh? Orochimaru, you'd better not push me to this point." Jiraiya muttered to himself, because he was very skilled in sealing techniques. Others might be helpless against this kind of Impure World Reincarnation, but he was not.
He could sense the old man's determination.
If the goal was simply to seal the First and Second Hokage, there would be no need to use a powerful weapon like the Reaper Death Seal.
The old man is planning to take Orochimaru with him!
Upon witnessing this scene, the Third Hokage was enraged.
"Even his own subordinates..."
"He even played with the lives of his own subordinates." The Third Hokage's face was already streaked with tears as he said this.
"You even toy with the lives of your own subordinates, and you always say such pointless things!" Orochimaru said disdainfully.
The Third Hokage was furious and roared, "Didn't all these people trust you? Come here, Enma!"
Immediately, the Third Hokage launched an attack, a series of attacks that caught Orochimaru off guard and directly captured him.
"it's over!"
The Third Hokage shouted.
At this moment, through the figure of the Third Hokage, the Grim Reaper also reached into Orochimaru's body.
At this moment, Orochimaru finally realized something was wrong and immediately used his grass sword to pierce through the Third Hokage, causing his soul, which was about to be pulled out, to retreat slightly.
If Enma hadn't grasped the grass sword at the crucial moment, preventing it from piercing the Third Hokage's body further, the battle would probably have ended immediately.
"Why didn't you dodge!"
Orochimaru said in disbelief.
"The Reaper Death Seal, this sealing technique requires one to surrender their soul to the Grim Reaper in exchange for its effect; it's a ninjutsu that uses one's life as the price," the Third Hokage explained, coughing up blood. "I don't need to hide; I'll die anyway. When the seal ends, my soul will be devoured. This is a ninjutsu used by the hero who once saved this village. You will also die under this ninjutsu."
"Unable to use ninjutsu." Only then did Orochimaru realize that he was completely unable to move, let alone use ninjutsu. "Was this the same ninjutsu that sealed the Nine-Tails back then?"
"Next, I will pull your soul out of your body and seal it away."
The Third Hokage dragged Orochimaru's soul away.
"You should be able to see it by now, because half of your soul has already been pulled out. The person whose soul is sealed by this ninjutsu can never ascend to heaven and will suffer forever inside the stomach of the Grim Reaper. The souls of the sealed person and the sealed person will be intertwined, hating each other, and will fight forever!"
At this moment, Orochimaru finally saw the Grim Reaper behind the Third Orochimaru and prepared to make his move.
As he swung his sword down, a wisp of soul was swallowed by him. He drooled as he devoured a portion of the souls of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
[That's great, the Fourth Hokage is inside the Shinigami's stomach, we can play a game of mahjong now.]
However, to be fair, Orochimaru is the true wolf-slayer. He dared to trick the Shinigami and use them as tailed beasts. This Shinigami probably hasn't encountered a human like that in eight hundred lifetimes. But all of this was for his own son, Mitsuki. Can he even be considered his own son?
"His biological son, Siyue?"
Upon seeing this comment, Jiraiya found it utterly absurd. How could this guy, destined to be single, possibly have a son? Is that even possible?
And what does it mean to use a Shinigami as a Tailed Beast?
How can the Grim Reaper be used as a Tailed Beast?
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse of the comment, he still managed to record that information clearly.
"What a joke, you old fool! I won't let you get away with this!" Orochimaru was terrified, desperately directing his grass sword to pierce through the Third Hokage's body, forcing him to give up pulling out his soul bit by bit. "Hurry up and die!"
"Your hands are still being held, so you can't use ninjutsu. It's about time you finished me off."
Orochimaru hissed in a low voice.
"I will never let your ambitions be associated with the village again!"
"My ambition won't stop here. You'll die here. In your half-dead state, do you, as the Third Hokage, have the power to save this village? Do you understand the situation?"
The scene then shifts to a desolate landscape filled with the corpses of Konoha ninja, a sight that sends a chill down the spine.
"As the ninja village of Konoha, all of you, young and old, will be wiped out. The Konoha Crush plan is about to succeed!"
"You don't understand, Orochimaru. Your ambition has come to an end. You are obsessed with ninjutsu and wasting it. I will give you the punishment that is most suitable for you. I will take away all the ninjutsu you have mastered."
The Third Hokage used all his strength to pull Orochimaru's souls out of his hands and seal them into his own body.
Orochimaru's hands quickly lost their color and became completely useless.
"Now you can't use your hands. Since you can't use your hands, you can't seal them. You can't use ninjutsu anymore. The plan to destroy Konoha has failed."
"You've become stupid, Orochimaru. It's a pity I can't take you with me, but my disciple, we will meet again in that world someday."
As the Third Hokage spoke, the ferocious, roaring Orochimaru before him gradually transformed back into the genius boy he remembered, and with a hint of a smile, he lost his life.
