Chapter 98 The end of the third generation

Neji just watched the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru with cold eyes. His old age made Sarutobi Hiruzen's reaction slow. His weak body and exhausted spirit made Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to hold on in this battle. Trying to maintain the balance of the battle.

"It seems it's time, time is really not forgiving!" Sarutobi Hiruzen swept away the second generation Hokage who suddenly appeared in front of him with a stick, and inserted the golden hoop that the monkey demon had transformed into into his hand. , took a look at Konoha, which was in the midst of war, and took a look at Konoha's iconic building, Hokage Rock.

"First-sama, teacher, and Minato! They all sacrificed their lives for Konoha. It's finally my turn. It's time to start fulfilling my duties as Hokage and protecting my village." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him with awareness. Opposite Orochimaru and the first and second generation Hokage who were reincarnated and channeled by the dirty earth.

Orochimaru seemed to have noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, and took a few cautious steps back, looking forward to Sarutobi Hiruzen's next move. "Teacher, what will you do when faced with this situation?"

"Forbidden technique, seal all the corpses!" Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly formed a seal, and a tall god of death invisible to ordinary people appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi. Orochimaru didn't know why. He couldn't see the so-called god of death at all. This way The figure of the God of Death is generally visible only to the caster.

"Without consciousness and no spirituality, it turns out that the so-called God of Death is just the incarnation of a rule. It is a forbidden technique specially used to seal the soul through the combination of sealing technique and channeling technique. The sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan is really powerful." Neji used his huge spiritual soul to sense the existence of the God of Death. His curiosity prompted Neji to study the existence of the God of Death. Sure enough, although he was a God of Death in name, he was completely dead, without any consciousness or spirituality, just the use of rules. Even so, Neci had to admire the seniors of the Uzumaki clan who could actually achieve such a level through sealing techniques, which inspired Neci greatly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama with both hands. The God of Death activated his ability to devour souls and gradually pulled their souls out of the sacrifices.

The two Hokage glanced at the surrounding environment and Konoha Village, with guilty looks on their faces, "I'm sorry, monkey, for causing you trouble!"

Seeing the souls of the two Hokages being sealed, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt the Death God behind him coveting his soul. He forced himself to persevere and turned his attention to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, you were once my most proud student, and you are also my most proud student. Because of this, when you made a huge mistake, I let you off for a moment, which resulted in you causing so much harm to Konoha today. It was I who taught you ninjutsu, and now I want to tell you that you have it. Take back your ninjutsu and save your mistake!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen endured the pressure of death, grabbed Orochimaru's hands with all his strength, and kept trying to pull out Orochimaru's soul.

"Are you kidding, old man, go and die yourself!" Orochimaru's face was full of panic. He felt the tearing feeling in his soul. The strong pain inspired Orochimaru's ferocity, and he spat out Kusanagi in his mouth. The sword pierced directly through Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest, and the bloody sword tip emerged from his back. The blood slipped from the sword tip drop by drop, slowly soaking the ground.

"This is the only way we can do it!" Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his whole body weak and could only brace himself up, forcefully pulled Orochimaru's hands and threw them into the stomach of the god of death. His whole life ended at this moment.

"Ah!" Orochimaru wailed in pain. The tearing of his soul caused him unbearable pain. He forced his men to take him out of Konoha immediately. His strength was now at a low point. If he continued to stay where he was, it would only increase the risk. , we can only evacuate hastily.

Orochimaru was protected by Oto Ninja and Yakushi Kabuto and left quickly. Neji just watched all this quietly without any obstruction or any sadness. He allowed Orochimaru to escape and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with cold eyes. , everything is over, Neji understands that Konoha will usher in a new era. Although the third generation of Hokage is not the most powerful among all the Hokage, it is the longest in power, and its influence on Konoha is also Most profoundly, the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen represents the end of a generation in Konoha Village. It also represents the beginning of new life.

The ANBU ninjas did not rush to stop Orochimaru, but they all approached the body of Sarutobi Hiruzen, wanting to confirm the situation of Naruto. They were originally the armed force directly under the Hokage, and everything was inferior to confirming the safety of the Hokage. important.

"Hokage-sama!" He carefully placed his hand under Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose to test the Hokage's breathing. There was no hot air coming out or any breathing movement. The ANBU ninja shouted in disbelief.

The other Anbu saw this man's reaction and understood that the Hokage had been sacrificed, and everyone present fell into grief. Only Neji, who was not far away, showed no reaction.

Neji, who is watching with cold eyes, is not sure how he feels now. There is admiration, sadness, and a trace of complaint and relief. In any case, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Hokage of Konoha and is Neji's biggest boss. For Konoha, He dedicated his life to peace and died in battle at the age of seventy. If Neji was willing to take action, he could completely avoid all of this from happening. But it was also because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's weakness that Hyuga Hizashi died. At that time, Neji did not have the strength to stop everything, but now he allows everything to happen. Sometimes life is so dramatic.

"Neji!" Kakashi and Mike Kai came to the roof with the blood of the enemy on their bodies. Looking at Neji who was motionless on the side, they shouted with some complaints.

"Why, you could have avoided Hokage-sama's sacrifice just by taking action, why did you choose to stand by and watch!" Kakashi glanced at the ANBU surrounding Hokage's body not far away, and asked Neji in a low voice.

"I don't want to!" Neji looked at the annoyed Kakashi, did not avoid this sharp question, and expressed his feelings straight to the point.

"Why, didn't you say you have feelings for Konoha? Why did you just stand by and watch when Konoha was attacked!" Kakashi was a little excited and lost control. He didn't understand Neji's choice. It was clear that Neji had feelings for Konoha. He has a good impression and even recognizes Konoha as his home. Why does he have no reaction when his home is invaded by foreign enemies?

"Because of my father, Hiruzen Sarutobi's indifference and oppression led to his death. Although I will not take the initiative to retaliate, I will not take the initiative to help him. After all, I deeply hate my own powerlessness at that time!" Neji seemed to think of his incompetence and panic at that time. He lived like a frightened bird every day, terrified and uneasy until he was strong enough to protect himself. The emotions on his face became excited.
