Talent Entry Ninja of Konoha

The moment the Shinigami appeared, the smile on Orochimaru's face instantly disappeared.

Even though he couldn't see the Shiningami, he felt that he was being stared at by some terrible existence.

"First Hokage! Second Hokage!"

Orochimaru yelled anxiously.

While on the other side

The First Hokage and the Second Hokage, who were entangled with Sarutobi Hiruzen's Shadow Clone stood in place at this moment, with expressions of struggle on their faces.

"Sensei! Lord Hashirama!"

A few Shadow Clones stood beside them with apprehensive looks on their faces.

"Monkey, I only have a minute!"

Senju Tobirama tried his best to suppress Orochimaru's control over his body, but he could only suppress it for another minute or so at most.

Senju Hashirama on the other side was in a similar situation.

At this time, Orochimaru was in a very bad situation.

He had met Ryosuke in the forest of death before, which made Orochimaru a little worried about whether his Konoha collapse plan would encounter any trouble.

After all, he couldn't guarantee whether there would be unexpected situations like Ryosuke appearing at this time.

Therefore, during the one-month preparation process, Orochimaru deliberately replaced several corpses used for Impure World Reincarnation with stronger corpses.

In this way, the body would be stronger.

Originally, Orochimaru was right.

A stronger body could indeed help him better, but he forgot that if the ninja is too strong, he might not be able to suppress them.

This time, it was fine.

Although Orochimaru had slightly strengthened the strength of some Impure World Reincarnation offerings, the increase was not much.

Therefore, whether it was Senju Tobirama or Senju Hashirama, both of their strength had only increased by about 10% on the original basis.

This 10% improvement was not enough to allow them to completely break free from Orochimaru's control.

But it gave them a certain ability to resist. This was how the current scene happened.

Orochimaru probably didn't think that he would shoot himself in the foot, right?

He originally made these preparations to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha.

In the end, his actions turned out to be the last straw that crushed him.

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's current physical state, if Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama's Impure World Reincarnation body was still obedient, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have no ability to seal Orochimaru.

At most, he would only be able to pull the soul of one of the Hokages into the belly of the Shinigami together.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen had previously been hit by Ryosuke's genjutsu, and his body and spirit were already weak.

Being able to fight till now was the result of his willpower.

Now, with the reaper death seal, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only drag one person's soul into the Shinigami's stomach at most.

At this time!

Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Orochimaru's two hands.

Orochimaru saw his soul being pulled out of his body bit by bit by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Orochimaru was not a defenseless scarecrow.

He realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen might have used some kind of Forbidden Technique.

So, he struggled desperately.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was already exhausted and close to the limit, unable to hold on anymore.

"Looks like I can't do it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that he couldn't pull Orochimaru's soul into the Shinigami's belly with him.

Orochimaru was struggling too violently. He felt that if he insisted on sealing Orochimaru's entire soul, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Orochimaru in the end.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a quick decision, and gave up sealing Orochimaru's entire soul.

But although he couldn't seal all of Orochimaru's soul into the Shinigami's stomach, he had already pulled Orochimaru's two palms.

"Orochimaru, today I will take back all the ninjutsu I have taught you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen yelled.

The huge Shinigami slowly bent down. It held a soul-cutting blade in its hand and cut off the soul of one of Orochimaru's fingers.

Then he snatched away Sarutobi Hiruzen's entire soul, and part of Orochimaru's soul together, and put them into his stomach.

Plop~!

Sarutobi Hiruzen whose soul was sealed fell instantly. He was unwilling to die.

Orochimaru's ten fingers were sealed, and he can no longer perform ninjutsu in the future.

But...

Sarutobi Hiruzen still wanted to do much more.

He hasn't watched his grandson Konohamaru grow up yet.

He hasn't passed the seat of Hokage to him yet.

He hasn't dealt with Danzo and cleared the way for his grandson yet.

The most important thing is...

He had already planned everything to deal with Ryosuke who had shown amazing talent.

He was just waiting for the end of the Chūnin exam to finish him.

But now...

He will never have this chance to carry out his plan again.

And it was Orochimaru who caused all this.

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen was really not reconciled with just sealing ten of Orochimaru's fingers.

But he couldn't do anything else.

He could either seal the ten fingers, or not cause Orocbimaru any damage at all.

He was forced to choose the former.

At least, ut would also cost Orochimaru something.

Not being able to use ninjutsu will definitely have a huge negative impact on Orochimaru's strength.

Not to mention completely losing his fighting power.

But at least... it will greatly weaken his combat effectiveness.

In this way, his efforts will not have been completely wasted.

"My fingers!"

Orochimaru looked at the dead Sarutobi Hiruzen. He, who should have been happy at this moment couldn't smile.

He raised his hands, but his ten fingers were limp, unable to make any movements.

Orochimaru's face was gloomy, and he had already guessed what Forbidden Technique Sarutobi Hiruzen had used before.

Reaper Death Seal!

Damn it!

It turned out to be this Forbidden Technique!!

The only thing that made Orochimaru feel fortunate was that Sarutobi Hiruzen was too weak so he didn't have the strength to seal his entire soul.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only lost ten fingers.

But his whole soul!

If his soul is sealed, no matter how strong Orochimaru's life-saving ability was, he wouldn't be able to survive.

If his body is killed, he can resurrect with the help of the heaven curse seal.

But if his soul is sealed, how can he be resurrected?

Luckily, thanks to the masked man before, Sarutobi Hiruzen had weakened.

If it weren't for that guy's genjutsu, Orochimaru would probably already be chatting with Sarutobi Hiruzen in Shinigami's belly by now.

Orochimaru sensed the two Impure World Reincarnation bodies that were resisting him at this time.

He frowned, and simply canceled the ninjutsu.

In the woods.

After seeing the disappearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen's Shadow Clones, the two Hokages realized that something had gone wrong.

They looked at their bodies that were turning into ashes.

"Brother, it seems we are returning back to the Pure Land." Senju Tobirama said calmly.

"Yeah, it's just a pity that I didn't get to take a look at the village this time."

Senju Hashirama looked disappointed.

He originally wanted to see how Konoha had developed, but he didn't even have the chance to take a look.

What a disappointment!

"By the way, Tobirama, where are you in the Pure Land? Have you ever met other souls in the Pure Land? I have always been alone, so lonely."

Senju Hashirama took advantage of this last moment, intending to ask his brother's location in the pure land so that he could go over and talk to him or something.

"Brother, I don't know where I am in the pure land. All the places look similar. I have met a few souls before, but I don't know any of them."

Senju Tobirama's body had almost disappeared.

He finished this sentence quickly, and his soul was pulled back to the pure land in an instant.

"What! Why haven't I met anyone?!"

Senju Hashirama complained, while being forcibly sent back to the Pure Land.

Outside the Four Violet Flames Formation

A large number of Konoha ninjas were gathered here anxiously, discussing how to break this barrier.

"Look! The barrier is gone!"

At this moment, someone discovered that the original barrier was disappearing.

So, he quickly shouted to remind the others.

"Did Lord Hokage finish off Orochimaru?"

Some people speculated that the battle in the barrier was over.

As for the result?

Of course Lord Hokage won!

After all, he is the strongest Hokage ever!!

"Go in and have a look." Nara Shikaku said.

A group of people used ninjutsu to break open the big trees in front of them, and soon came to the central area of ​​this artificial forest.

They saw Sarutobi Hiruzen lying dead on the ground.

As for Orochimaru?

They didn't see him at all!

He had probably run away.

Among the crowd, Ryosuke glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was no longer alive on the ground, and didn't know whether he was happy or relieved.

Originally, there was no hatred between Sarutobi Hiruzen and him, and Ryosuke.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to pull him to his side at the beginning.

Until Ryosuke showed a talent similar to Minato. Not only did he defeat Tenzo who was an Elite Jōnin at a young age, but he even learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He became a future Kage-level ninja in other's eyes.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen see Ryosuke as a threat.

He considered Ryosuke the second Minato.

In terms of attitude, it also changed from the original wooing to wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid affecting his plan.

But it doesn't make sense to say that now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is gone.

His plan against Ryosuke didn't even start.

No one would know that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to get rid of Ryosuke, Konoha's rising star.

In the eyes of others, Ryosuke was a young man Sarutobi Hiruzen was very optimistic about.

Some people even thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to train Ryosuke to be the next Hokage.

People who think this way really don't know their Lord Hokage at all.

"Lord Hokage!"

"My God! How could Lord Hokage die?!"

"Where's Orochimaru? Damn Orochimaru! He killed Lord Hokage!!"

The Konoha ninjas around looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's dead body on the roof in horror.

Jiraiya, who was standing in front of the crowd, went over to check in person, and confirmed that his teacher was dead.

He said, "There is no chance of rescuing him."

"Orochimaru..."

Jiraiya closed his eyes in pain.

He was very dissatisfied with some of Sarutobi Hiruzen's practices, and he didn't like the policies of Konoha's senior management.

No matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still his teacher.

At this moment, bits and pieces of memories flooded into his heart.

A sad emotion instantly echoed in Jiraiya's mind, which could not go away for a long time.

"Damn! We must avenge Lord Hokage!"

"Yes, that's right! We must take revenge!!"

"Orochimaru has gone, but the people from Sunagakure are still here, go find them!"

"Damn Sunagakure, they are obviously our allies. Why did they cooperate with Orochimaru?"

The surrounding Konoha ninjas cursed furiously, and some even said they would make Sunagakure pay for Sarutobi Hiruzen's death.

But there were not many people who supported this statement.

"Okay, everyone be quiet!"

Jiraiya stood up at this time and said loudly, "Now is not the time to discuss whether to make Sunagakure pay. The most important thing at the moment is to restore order in the village, and.. bury all the fallen!"

The ninjas who were still clamoring just now calmed down and looked at Jiraiya in front of them.

"Jiraiya-sama is right, everyone listen to me."

Nara Shikaku stood up at this time, coordinating and dispatching the Konoha ninjas, and arranging their own tasks.

"I'll go first."

Ryosuke was not interested in watching what would happen next.

He said to Kakashi beside him, turned around and headed towards the Hyuga clan.

Kakashi looked back at him who was going away, his eyes thoughtful.
